Town staff thought they had identified roughly six locations in Smiths Falls that appeared to house the noxious giant hogweed, but were mistaken.

The plant in question was, in fact, Queen Anne’s Lace. “I went to the locations myself and absolutely no way was it

hogweed,” says the town’s chief administrative officer, Wayne Brown. “It was all Queen Anne’s Lace. It’s all around town.”

There is, however, a confirmed case of wild parsnip just out-side of town, in the Township of Rideau Lakes. Approximately two kilometres south of the LCBO, located directly off the Cataraqui Trail is a confirmed location of wild parsnip. Brown says town staff has provided the Township of Rideau Lakes with this information. A rep from the township could not be reached in time for press deadlines.

Watch the town’s website (http://www.smithsfalls.ca/index.cfm) for further updates regarding giant hogweed or wild parsnip sightings.

ABOUT WILD PARSNIP AND GIANT HOGWEEDGiant hogweed has been spotted in areas of the Ottawa Valley,

including White Lake, and is an invasive, non-native plant that poses a serious threat to human health and natural ecosystems.

Wild parsnip, which is much smaller than giant hogweed, can also cause burns and poses as a hazard to children or anyone with exposed skin.

Giant hogweed, which originated in Asia, can grow up to six metres in height, with leaves up to one and a half metres in width. It generally prefers damp, rich soils, as found along road-side ditches, or in other moist, disturbed areas.

If the sap from a broken stem or crushed leaf, root, flower or seed comes into contact with damp skin (perspiration will suf-fice) and the skin is exposed to sunlight, severe burns, blistering and painful sores may result.

Ongoing construction at the new Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre is expected to wrap up in less than two months, a deadline that is right on target.

“We’re shooting for a September

opening,” says Dale Gifford, construc-tion manager for Guy Saumure and Sons Construction Ltd. “We’re close. Right now, we’re looking at the first week of September (as an opening date).”

Construction on the new rink began in July 2009.

When completed, the state-of-the-art facility will boast an NHL-size ice surface, 1,500 fixed seats, six large

dressing rooms, a Junior A facility, two referee rooms, a first aid room, boys and girls minor hockey office/program space, a main lobby with a concession stand and staff offices, accessible wash-rooms, elevators, a walking concourse situated above the rink, two community halls and a restaurant.

FROM THE FRONT PAGE

Gifford says construction crews will begin pouring the cement ice pad this week. After that, the boards and seats will be set in place.

Generally, mechanical systems work has been ongoing and site work has just begun. Cornelia Street was closed last Sunday due to sewer work.

And there’s still more work to come.“We’ve got lots to do yet,” he says. “It’s coming.”Meanwhile, fundraising for the new facility is

chugging along: Chris Cummings, co-ordinator of corporate donations for the Smiths Falls arena fund-raising committee, says roughly $200,000 has been raised for the new building.

Of the total anticipated cost of $12 million for the project, $8.4 million will come from the federal and provincial governments. There’s a $1.3 million fundraising target in progress, and the balance will be raised through financing.

Those wishing to donate can purchase a seat in the new arena for $200, and a plaque bearing the donor’s name will be placed on the seat. There’s also the Square Footers’ Club in which for $100 a purchaser can buy one square foot of the new rink.

Pledge forms to donate to the arena are available at the town hall (77 Beckwith St. N.) on the town’s website (http://www.smithsfalls.ca/community-cen-tre-project.cfm) or by contacting fundraising chair, Rob Dopson via the Community Services Department at 613-283-4124, ext.122.

YOUTH ARENA RENOS Part of the $2.2 million received from the federal

government will go to the retrofit of the Youth Arena. The exterior work began in April, with a new, re-insulated roof. The inside of the arena is expected to receive a facelift, complete with a fresh coat of paint

and new flooring.The upstairs community hall will get new cabinets,

new flooring, ceiling and windows.And by the time the $12 million project is complet-

ed, the approach to the new rink and newly-renovated Youth Arena will not be from Beckwith, but from Cornelia Street.

The only known antidote to contact with the sap is imme-diate, thorough washing using soap and water. Once irritation begins, medical advice should be sought.

Those most at risk include road maintenance crews cutting roadside ditches, lawn and gar-den maintenance labourers and other outdoor workers or recre-ationists. The sap can also be spread by pets or livestock that have been in contact with the plant.

Certain features distinguish giant hogweed from similar-looking plants.

First and foremost is its size – it truly is giant. Stems are often one to three inches in diameter, and marked with dark purplish blotches or spots and covered with sturdy bristles. The flow-ers form a flat-topped, umbrella-shaped head up to two and a half feet wide.

Giant hogweed can be difficult to eradicate.

A number of herbicides are effective, though none are effec-

tive at killing the plant’s peren-nial roots. Cutting the plant off with line trimmers can be very dangerous, as the rotating line can spray the sap a considerable distance.

Also, cutting the plant off stimulates budding on the root-stock.

The plant can be cut off by using shears or a bladed tool, though it will re-sprout. If there is only a single plant, it can be dug up, though this is a difficult process.

An effective procedure for controlling giant hogweed is to cut off the flowering heads, and seal them inside plastic bags and leave them in the sun (at least one week) until all seeds are killed.

It is essential to wear protec-tive clothing and eye protection when working around giant hog-weed. Skin contact with soiled clothing or tools should be avoid-ed.

JASON MARSHALL

THIS WEEK

Weed expert Jeff Muzzi insists people do their homework on the giant hogweed plant so they can identify and differentiate it from another noxious plant running rampant throughout the area – wild parsnip.

“Everyone is talking about giant hogweed, but there should be as much noise about this stuff – it’s all over the place,” said Muzzi, Renfrew County’s forestry manager. “It’s the first cousin of giant hog-weed and has the same kind of sap.”

He said there are four hospital visits a day across Renfrew County due to exposure to wild parsnip.

“A big problem is people whipper-snipping and hitting the weed,” he said.

Muzzi pointed to a small field in the heart of the village of White Lake. Right next to the main road, the field was littered with wild parsnip plants, which resemble a cross between goldenrod and wild dill.

“This looks nothing like hogweed – it’s way small-er and yellow,” he said. “And there isn’t a place in the county that doesn’t have it. But no one seems con-cerned about it. They should be. We have a lot bigger problem with wild parsnip.”

Muzzi said about one-third of the calls he’s received come back to the wild parsnip plant, not giant hogweed.

“There’s so much of it (wild parsnip), it’s a lost cause to try and get rid of it. The big thing is aware-ness. Know what it looks like and how to deal with it,” said Muzzi.

WHAT TO DOIf anyone does come into contact with either giant

hogweed or wild parsnip, Muzzi says the only anti-dote is to immediately wash the skin thoroughly with

soap and water and avoid exposing the area to sun-light. If the skin becomes irritated, medical attention should be sought.

Livestock and pets that have been in contact with the plant can also spread to sap.

Anyone who feels they may have seen giant hog-weed – or those looking for more information about the plant – is encouraged to contact the invasive species hotline hosted by the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, in conjunction with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. The number is 1-800-563-7711. People can also visit the website at www.invadingspecies.com/invaders or check out the Ministry of Agriculture site at www.weedinfo.ca.

Construction workers were erecting steel siding on the north corner of the building last week.

Canal Railway and Chocolate Festival music to the ears

Peter Au, chair of the Chinese and Canadian Heritage Cultural Association, and Lin Difu, cultural counsellor of the Embassy of Peoples Republic of Canada, unveil a photograph of the Temple of Heaven, which is located in Beijing. The unveiling took place last Friday afternoon at Rideau Canal Museum, during the official opening of Beautiful China, a Photographic Exhibition, courtesy of the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China. Currently on display at the museum are 16 photos ofvarious locations throughout China.

While throngs of people headed into Ottawa to enjoy the last weekend of the Cisco Ottawa Bluesfest, it was nice to see so many people travel to Smiths Falls to partake in various activities going at the Canal Railway and Chocolate Festival.

Families made their way to Smiths Falls from all over the Ottawa region to enjoy performances from a wide variety of talented musi-cians including Johnny Rock Star, the Maria Hawkins Band, the Doherty Brothers and River City Junction.

Children’s playful screams could be heard throughout the park as they enjoyed various workshops, activity stations and the midway.

Performances from many talented artists in a beautiful venue, workshops and activity tents, all under the clear, bright blue summer sky brightened many festival-goers and planners faces.

For 10 years, organizers of the Canal Railway and Chocolate Festival, with assistance from generous volunteers, have been able to provide an annual celebration that anyone can attend.

During a time when the economy is fragile, and ticket prices for many musical events are unaffordable for the majority of the public, it is nice to know that there are people who care enough about tradi-tion, and a celebration of good, clean fun, to organize celebrations that everyone can enjoy.

A tremendous amount of time and effort goes into making an event of this magnitude a success, so it was nice to see so many people come out and enjoy the festivities.

Hopefully, the time-honoured tradition of a Canal Railway and Chocolate Festival will continue for many years to come.

MY CONCERT REVIEWFor those of you who have heard of (and

love!) Lady Gaga, read on.I mentioned in my previous column that

I was going to see her perform in Toronto. And I did. What a show!

Her music is catchy and she is certainly one of my favourite pop performers, which is why I’m glad my sister goaded me into going. But her music wasn’t the only inter-esting part of the evening.

The theme of the concert was the Monster Ball, which brought with it a pow-erful message: you are free to be who-ever you want to be. It was great fun (I was dancing in the aisles) and a great way to

kickoff the beginning of what I dubbed my very own Musicfest 2010: I also frequented Bluesfest acts in Ottawa over the week, which rounded off my musical week. It was such great fun (excluding the humid-ity and scorching heat) it almost made me want to pick up and start a band of my own. Almost …

FISHING FOR SUPPORTJoAnne Keays, co-owner of Smile

Sensations, has entered the town in the World Fishing Network’s Ultimate Fishing Town contest. Now, it’s up to her to get friends, family and co-workers to support the nomi-nation. She has until Aug. 2 to update and/or add additional stories, photos, or video to the website (http://www.wfn.tv/ultimate-fishing-town/Ontario-Smiths%20Falls).

The public will vote on the winning town. So far, Thunder Bay, Belleville and Elliot Lake have also entered the contest.

The contest will give the winning commu-nity a $25,000 donation; in this case, if the town wins, the money will be spent towards youth recreation and leisure programming.

For more information, check out the site: www.wfn.tv/ultimate-fishing-town/Ontario and help support JoAnne’s great idea!

GOLF TOURNEY REGISTRATION It’s that time again! To register for the

second annual Kilimanjaro Golf Fore Kids Tournament, that is, which will be held at Lombard Glen Golf and Country Club on Aug. 21. This one promises to be full of fun and surprises and hopefully no rain (although the last part is not guaranteed). You can sign up on the website at www.kilimanjarogolf-forekids.com by clicking on ‘contacts.’ All proceeds go towards building a school in Mwanza.

CORN ROASTThe Forfar Community Centre will be

hosting a corn roast on Saturday, Aug. 7. The event, which is sponsored by the Simpson Masonic Lodge, begins at 4 p.m. and runs until it’s sold out. Enjoy beef or ham on a bun, fresh corn on the cob, pie and ice cream and coffee and lemonade at this all you can eat event. Adults pay $12; children aged six to 12 pay $6 and children under six are free. All proceeds go towards assisting bursaries at Rideau District High School.

STOP THE PRESSES!On July 7, I had the pleasure

of coming in to Heritage House Museum for more than just my job: I was there to talk about my experi-ences as a reporter.

Below, listed in point form, are some of the questions I answered for the group:

Q: Why did you want to be a reporter?

- I like to write and take photos.- I meet interesting people.

Q: Why is a newspaper impor-tant?

- So people know what is going on.

- To read about sports, events, local issues and local people.

Q: Have you ever had to get up in the middle of the night to report on a story?

- Yes, for an election in Halifax for a new mayor for the city. I had to report until around midnight.

Q: What do you like about your job?- I like meeting people.- I like talking to people and finding out

about their experiences and stories.

This may sound ridiculous, but because it was the first time explaining to people what I do, I realized a few things, myself. I love meeting people and talking to people and that’s the principle reason I love this job. Realizing this only made me appreciate my position and be grateful I was given the opportunity to pursue it.

REGISTER FOR SUMMER FUN AT HHM

Wondering what to do with your child this summer? Come to Heritage House Museum!

The backyard history day camp is back once again every Wednesday until Aug. 18.

Camps have already started, but there are many exciting themes and spots left. Remaining themes this year include A Blast from the Past, Monkey Madness, Mystery Mayhem, Be a tourist in your own town, and Gone Camping. The camps are for children ages six to 13, and run from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

The camps cost $25 per day, per child. The day camps will be filled with games, out-ings, crafts and a few special guests, such as Ray’s Reptiles, and tours of local attractions. Children need to bring a lunch and a morning snack with them. They must also have proper sun protection, insect repellant and footwear.

Children must be registered in advance, as space is limited. No telephone registrations are accepted. Registration forms are available at the museum, or on the museum’s website at http://www.smithsfalls.ca/heritagehouse/ under the “Special events” section.

People from near and far flocked to the Canal Railway and Chocolate Festival, which was held from July 16 to 18 this year. Children’s entertainers, family workshops, a midway, musical performances and a Saturday noon-hour parade kept smiles on many faces throughout the sunny weekend. (Clockwise from top) Team Bailey struggles to hang on during the Great Rideau Tug-of-War challenge. Jacob Morris enjoys one of the many rides at the midway. George Bailey launches a (friendly) attack against Adam Mac Gregor. Randall Evoy steers the Colonel By in the canal during the Great Rideau Cardboard Box Boat Race.

THIS WEEK

Deborah Goudreau is looking for-ward to bringing Shirley Valentine to Newboro.

Goudreau, a fairly recent resident in the community, moved to the area about a year ago. She purchased property on By Street and intends to turn it into a local arts centre, where people can learn how to practise yoga, pottery, sculpting and other forms of art. Once completed, the centre will be called DharmaNectar Studio.

The centre isn’t open yet: Goudreau is hoping it’s completed by the end of summer 2011.

“It’s part of a big picture of what I’m hoping to develop in the com-munity,” says the Ottawa transplant.

In the meantime, she’s focus-ing on her other brand new project: DharmaNectar Studio, which is pre-senting it’s first project, a profession-al production of Shirley Valentine, a famous Broadway comedy writ-ten by Willy Russell about a woman who is stuck in a hopeless marriage with nothing better to do than talk to the wall. Shirley’s neighbour pres-ents her with an opportunity to take a holiday in Greece and she decides to go, a decision which will change her life forever.

“It’s a poignant play,” says Goudreau. “So many people can identify and relate to it.”

Actor Heather Markgraf is famil-iar with the role: this will be at least the fourth time she’s played Shirley. One of the times was at the Hudson Village Theatre’s production of the play.

“At least three times,” she laughs, when asked how many times she’s played the role. “I love it, it’s a won-derful play. It’s very profound, very empowering.”

In 2004, Markgraf, artistic direc-tor, founded Theatre Panache as a professional, touring theatre com-pany based in Hudson, Que.

Theatre Panache is producing DharmaNectar Studio’s production of Shirley Valentine.

Markgraf says the message the play delivers is to live life to the fullest, all the while taking risks and chances, and to do what you want to do, rather than what you have to do.

That being said, she says the piece is a comedic one.

“Shirley is a loveable character,” she says. “The message is timeless, even though it is set in the 80s.”

Goudreau says comedy that makes for very good summer theatre.

“It’s an opportunity for everyone to go out and have fun,” she says. “It’s wonderful venue for me to set up and to meet the community, and wonderful way for the community to meet me. I’m really excited to get going with it.”

DATES AND TIMES Shirley Valentine will be present-

ed as a dinner theatre show at the Newboro Community Hall on the following two weekends in August: Friday, August 6 at 6:30 p.m., Saturday, August 7 at 6:30 p.m., Sunday, August 8 at 12:30 p.m., Saturday, August 14 at 6:30 p.m., Friday, August 13 at 6:30 p.m. and Sunday, August 15 at 12:30 p.m.

Throwing out hazardous waste just became a whole lot easier, said Stewardship Ontario.

The non-profit agency has added 13 new material categories and thousands of new products to its list regulated by the prov-ince.

Stewardship Ontario is a non-profit agen-cy responsible for overseeing the province’s recycling and hazardous waste removal pro-grams.

The organization was created by the Waste Diversion Act in 2002 by provincial legislation.

Starting this month, the organization rolled out Orange Drop across the province, a program designed to make it easier for residents to remove their hazardous waste.

The list of materials now accepted includes batteries, pharmaceuticals, syring-es and aerosol containers.

Orange Drop follows the municipal haz-ardous or special waste program, introduced in 2008, said Sean Magee, Stewardship

Ontario’s promotion and education co-ordi-nator.

The special waste program accepted nine waste material categories including paint and solvents.

The program is expected to divert 27 million kilograms of trash from Ontario’s landfills – 10 million more kilograms than last year.

“The more we can divert away from landfills the longer their lifespan will be,” said Magee. “The main goal is to protect the environment.”

Manufacturers of products that end up as hazardous waste pay for its transport and removal, said Magee.

“That really can be a great brand recog-nition for them,” Magee said.

Last year, the municipal hazardous or special waste program cost $25.6 million to run.

Residents pay no fee to drop the items off at the province’s 92 municipal recycling depots, 2,700 pharmacies and 738 retail stores that collect either or both paint, bat-teries.

The cost of the program is passed on to manufacturers.

“There’s going to be more drop-off loca-tions,” said Magee. “Any cost along the way (to consumers) is going to be a barrier.”

Additional drop-off centres will encour-age more people to recycle their hazardous waste, Magee said.

Stewardship Ontario is currently promot-ing the new program across the province using radio, television and print ads as well as sending a representative to festivals, fairs and other large events where people con-gregate.

The organization has organized 217 spe-cial waste collection events across the prov-ince over the next few months.

Information about drop-off sites is avail-able on the website makethedrop.ca; the program is also promoted on social media websites such as Facebook and Twitter.

“Orange Drop is designed to raise aware-ness about what is considered a hazardous or special waste and to encourage Ontarians to make returning these items part of their regular recycling routine,” said Lyle Clark, vice-president of operations of Stewardship Ontario.

Check makethedrop.ca for more infor-mation about the type of waste that can be

dropped off at each location.

LOCAL DROP-OFF SITES• To drop off aerosol containers, corro-

sives and their containers, flammables and their containers, leachate toxins, fertilizers and their containers, pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides and their containers, empty oil containers for products that contained lubricating oil, used oil filers, portable fire extinguishers, pressurized containers, solvents and toxic materials head to the Carleton Place Yard Waste site, located at 128 Patterson Cres.

• For antifreeze and its containers, head to the Carleton Place Canadian Tire (485 McNeely Ave.).

• For paints and coatings, industrial sta-tionary and non-lead acid, head to the Rona Cashway, located at RR 1 Lombardy Rd.

• For pharmaceuticals for humans and pets, head to the Clinic Pharmacy, located at 91 Cornelia St. W.

• For rechargeable batteries and single-use batteries, head to Lockwoods Sights and Sounds Ltd., located at 75 Elmsley St. N.

LAURA MUELLER

THIS WEEK

Trustees with the Upper Canada District School Board approved a $335.5-million bud-get for the 2010-11 fiscal year during a special board meeting last week.

The budget marked the elimi-nation of the last of the board’s deficit, said local trustee Bill MacPherson.

“Next year, we’re going in free and clear.”

The board will spend $214.9 million on classroom expendi-tures this year, including teach-ers’ salaries, staff development, textbooks, and classroom sup-plies – that’s more than $8 mil-lion higher than last year.

The costs of non-classroom expenses, including the costs for administration, principal and vice-principal salaries, school operations and transportation will be roughly $891,000 less than last year, at $98.65 million. Costs associated with princi-pals and vice-principals will be roughly $165,000 less than last year, at $15.35 million.

The board decided to strike a staffing review committee to examine all staffing lines. The board will also receive monthly reports from its special educa-tion advisory committee on the deployment of educational assistants.

All-day kindergarten (Early Learning Program) will be introduced this fall in 22 classes at 11 schools (including Maple

Grove Public School in Lanark village), but the board has also created a new Ready to Learn (R2L) program, offering 37 play-based kindergarten classes at another 10 schools, including The Stewart School in Perth.

The full-day kindergarten and board-funded Ready 2 Learn programs will cost the board about $2 million. The UCDSB received $200,000 from the Ministry of Education to allow it to offer full-day kindergarten at the 11 chosen schools, but the board has had to pour addition-al funds in order to make the expanded kindergarten program possible, MacPherson said.

“But we’re hoping that it will help us retain our competitive edge,” by encouraging families to enroll their children in the public board for kindergarten, MacPherson said.

The board has planned for 325 full-time equivalent edu-cational assistants (EAs), down from about 380 last year. That was due to a $2.6-million reduc-tion in the funding the board receives for those positions, MacPherson said. But the board has flexibility to hire more EAs, and the board will now have 25 early childhood educators (ECEs) on staff to support the early-learning programs.

David Thomas, Director o f e d u c a t i o n , r e f e r -enced the board’s CREW (Communication, Equitable Distribution of Resources, Educational Programs and Wellness) Strategic Plan as ambitious, and said it will take

UCDSB students to even higher results.

“Our overarching goal is to achieve a 90 per cent gradua-tion rate, and some of our high schools are already there,” he stated in a press release.

Board chair Greg Pietersma says the balanced budget sup-ports the board’s CREW strate-gic plan.

“Our strategic plan is mov-ing our board from an industri-al-aged education system to a knowledge-driven, meta think-ing, digitally organized board of education that is oriented and disposed to having our students ready for the future, ready for jobs and careers that haven’t been created yet,” he stated.

The UCDSB is the largest school board in the eastern half of eastern Ontario and 47 per cent of the total student popula-tion in the area attends schools in the public board. This past school term it created five new Grade-7-to-12 schools and the board experienced its best start up in its history.

The board is also building two new high schools, one in Vankleek Hill (Vankleek Hill Collegiate Institute) and the other in Kemptville (North G r e nv i l l e D i s t r i c t H i g h School). Perth and District Collegiate Institute is the next high school on the list to be rebuilt. MacPherson said the board hopes to receive notice of funding from the Ministry of Education within the next four-year term of the board trustees.

SPECIAL TO THIS WEEK

On the 100th anniversary of the pass-ing of Mark Twain, Perth actor, director and playwright David Jacklin is digging deep into the vaults of his own past to revive Mark Twain’s Patent Scrapbook, a show that he first performed when he was 21 years old (33 years ago now).

In co-operation with the Smiths Falls Community Theatre, the show opened last Friday and is running at the Station Theatre in Smiths Falls for three more performances, July 22, 23 and 24 at 8 p.m. Mark Twain’s humour proves to be still fresh and engaging after more than 100 years, while Jacklin’s performance is as full of energy and excitement as it was in 1977 (and at age 12 when he first portrayed Mark Twain).

Jacklin is known in eastern Ontario as the producing director of Perth’s BarnDoor Productions (BDP), now in its 15th season.

Among his other accomplishments, he is a multiple award-winning playwright and composer and an actor, with hun-dreds of productions to his credit, includ-ing work with the Blyth Festival, Press Theatre, Port Stanley Summer Festival and over 100 one-man performances of Ted John’s The School Show on tour throughout Ontario.

BarnDoor Productions, Perth’s origi-nal community theatre, is hard at work on the construction of the 120-seat Full Circle Theatre in Perth, intended as a “regional” community theatre, home to BDP, but open for touring productions, community groups and more.

The two productions BDP is mounting

this summer are fundraising projects for the new theatre.

When BDP was unable to find a stage for its shows in its hometown of Perth this summer, the Smiths Falls Community Theatre was able to provide a venue, opening possibilities for future co-opera-tion.

The newly opened Station Theatre in Smiths Falls and the under-construction Full Circle Theatre in Perth are similar in size and shape and could trade produc-tions easily.

Mark Twain’s Patent Scrapbook will be followed by the remarkable, unique musical drama, Dark of the Moon on starting on July 31.

The production is a remarkable play about forbidden love, set in the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. Filled with music, lyricism, drama and comedy, Dark of the Moon is the largest production to hit the region’s stages this summer, with a cast of 20. Dark of the Moon will run for five performances, July 31, August 1, 5, 6 and 7, all at the Station Theatre in Smiths Falls.

Those looking for something different this summer will find it in Mark Twain’s Patent Scrapbook and Dark of the Moon: the former, a one-man show full of life, energy and timeless humour; and the lat-ter, with the region’s largest cast of the summer, filled with music, poetry, drama and much more.

Tickets for e i ther show are $20 reserved or $23 at the door, with students and children $12 at any time. For infor-mation or to reserve, call 613-267-1884 (cash only).

An extensive police chase which result-ed in a pick-up truck spilling contraband cigarettes all over Highway 401 and Smiths Falls has left one man charged.

Charges against Charles Kloetstra, 38, of the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory include flight from police, dangerous driving, dan-gerous operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm, forcible confinement, posses-sion of illegal tobacco, breach of proba-tion and two counts each of assault with a weapon and assaulting police.

An Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Highway Enforcement Team officer attempted to conduct a traffic stop west-bound on Highway 43 near Merrickville, for a Highway Traffic Act violation last Friday morning.

Officers activated their emergency lights, but the driver of the pick-up truck contin-ued on and did not stop. Officers turned off their lights and ceased attempting to stop the fleeing suspect as the pick-up entered the Town of Smiths Falls.

During the suspect’s flight, contraband cigarettes began flying out of the pick-up, scattering across the roadway. Officers fol-lowed the debris of cigarettes and while travelling south on Highway 15, located the vehicle and attempted to stop the pick-up again. Spike belts were deployed, but were

not successful. The fleeing suspect continued south on

Highway 15 and once he entered the City of Kingston, officers halted their efforts in trying to stop the vehicle. Officers con-tinued to follow the debris of contraband cigarettes that were continuing to fly from the pick-up truck.

The driver then entered Highway 401 west of Kingston and officers attempted to stop the fleeing suspect by using their vehicles. As an OPP vehicle came up beside the suspect, the driver veered into the other lane and struck the OPP vehicle. The sus-pect lost control, struck the guard rail and rolled, causing more contraband cigarettes to scatter across the east and westbound lanes of Hwy. 401.

A female passenger in the pick-up truck was taken to Kingston General Hospital to be assessed for minor injuries.

The Kingston detachment of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) assisted with the OPP’s efforts.

THIS WEEK

Perth’s Kristine Plant knows how to run the gauntlet.

When the 45-year-old, moth-er-of-three is not healing the injured as an emergency room nurse at the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital in Smiths Falls, or teaching her fitness boot camp, she is cycling, swim-ming and running her way across the finish lines of ironman com-petitions around the world.

“I got bored of running,” said Plant. “I ran since 1978 and I had done marathons and I was looking for a new challenge.”

Ironman competitions consist of a 3.8-kilometre swim, 180-km of cycling and a 42.2-km run.

Plant was inspired to take part in an ironman competition after she watched a friend compete in one in Lake Placid, N.Y.

“Its certainly not for every-body, it’s a lot of training,” she said.

“Every time you go to the start line, you never know if you’re going to finish.”

Her track record certainly doesn’t show the same levels of difficulty she described during her interview.

She has completed all eight ironman competitions she has participated in.

Kristine said her most diffi-cult ironman to finish was when she ran with a broken heel.

“I figured, run if I can, and if it’s too painful, quit,” she said. “After swimming 3.8-kilome-tres, and biking 180-kilometres, everything hurts at that point.”

Plant has successfully com-pleted ironman competitions in Lake Placid, N.Y., Penticton, B.C., Louisville, Ky., Madison, Wis., Panama City Beach, Fla., and most recently, Frankfurt, Germany.

The Frankfurter Sparkasse I r o n m a n E u r o p e a n Championship was held on July 4. Kristine said she decided to compete in Frankfurt because it gave her an excuse to travel.

“We took our kids,” she said. “We took a week in Germany and then went to France and watched part of the Tour de France.”

Kristine is not the only Plant in the family who enjoys a healthy dose of iron in their diet.

Her husband Cory, a 45-year-old coating operator at the 3M plant in Perth, who grew up in Smiths Falls, has joined his wife in several of the ironman com-petitions. Cory has participated

in six of the events.“Both of us do them together

Being the nice guy I am, I usu-ally let her beat me,” he joked.

They met while Kristine was working as a summer student at the 3M plant.

They married and became an official iron couple in 1991.

“We’ve been married 19 years now,” Cory said.

Their three sons Dakota, 16, Connor, 13, and Kai, 11, have already began following in their mother and father’s fit footsteps: all three boys are members of the Perth Stingrays Aquatic Club. The same club Kristine started her athletic career with back in 1976.

“My mom said ‘you can’t do both,’” she said, referring to competing in both running and swimming. “I was a better run-ner than swimmer.”

Their oldest son, Dakota, may prove that statement to be untrue. As well as being a member of the Stingrays, he has already run in a triathlon.

However, Cory said that the choice to run in an ironman one day is entirely up to the chil-dren.

“We don’t force anything on them,” he said.

“But if they show an interest, we’re totally behind them.”

TONY PALERMO

THIS WEEK

Over the next four weeks, we will be taking a look at ALS – a devastating medical mystery that is the most common cause of neurological death in Canada. In part one of the series this week, we offer our readers an overview of the dis-ease.

For most, being told that you have Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a death sentence. It is the most common cause of neurological death in Canada, with two or three people dying from it every day.

And every day, another two or three people are sentenced with ALS, taking their place.

It affects both men and women of any ethnic origin. It can strike at any age.

There is no one test that identifies the presence of ALS. Rather, a diagnosis is made after several tests have been performed. Once every other possible disease has been ruled out, what you’re left with is ALS.

ALS is a medical mystery. Although some cases of ALS are hereditary, they represent only about 10 per cent of ALS cases. For the other 90 per cent of peo-ple, how they acquired ALS remains unknown.

Living with ALS is like waiting to die on death row. As a neurological degenerative disease, those who suffer from it become imprisoned by their own bodies. ALS essentially shuts the body down, piece by piece. Muscles waste away. Daily tasks such as walking, eat-ing, dressing and going to the bathroom become increasingly more difficult to do.

Then, one day, they are impossible to do.

The senses usually remain unaffected. Patients can smell and taste their favou-rite foods. They can hear their loved ones talk. They can also see and feel their muscles twitch uncontrollably, a reaction to the disease killing off spe-cialized nerve cells.

And, throughout it all, their minds remain intact.

The catch phrase with ALS is “three to five,” meaning most patients die within three to five years of diagnosis. They usually die by asphyxiation, liter-ally choking to death – fully aware but unable to do anything about it.

In some cases, the disease progression slows and sometimes plateaus, never going away, but buying more time – a temporary reprieve of sorts.

ALS is often referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease, named after the New York Yankees baseball player who died from it in 1941 at the age of 37. While Gehrig’s name has brought some rec-ognition to the disease, it still remains relatively unknown, unlike other neu-rological diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis.

Ottawa police officer Brian Dyck has been public in his battle with ALS. His story has appeared throughout the media. He was a spokesperson for the Ottawa ALS walk – a yearly fundraising initiative held throughout many commu-nities across Canada in an effort to build awareness and raise funds.

At first, Dyck was reluc-tant to allow others into his personal journey. One day, all of that changed.

“It was like a little switch went off in my brain,” Dyck said. “I realized that I could still continue to help others. I could raise awareness. I could effect change.”

ALS hits closer to home as well.

Watch for Part Two of this series – Smiths Falls

This Week speaks with two area residents who are living with ALS.

THIS WEEK

As summer continues, the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit continues to test the water at the beaches with-in the region, watching for high counts of bacteria.

Jane Lyster, director of health protection with the health unit, said the organization currently tests 22 beaches, from Pakenham to Brockville, once per week to let swimmers know when there could be health risks due to the quality of the water.

Lyster said five samples from various parts of each beach are taken per test. If the average count of the separate samples at each beach is greater than 100 E.coli

per 100 ml of water, the beach will be declared closed until the next clean test.

Swimming in a body of water with high E.coli counts can result in skin irritation, eye, ear and throat infections or intestinal ill-ness.

“Basically, (the weekly testing) provides a snapshot of the water quality,” said Lyster.

The reason the health unit com-pletes one test per week, which is the provincial minimum require-ment, is the health unit has two public health inspectors on staff to complete the testing for all 22 publicly-owned beaches in the area.

“You can imagine (the 22 beaches) times five samples, plus the distance between all beaches,” said Lyster. “It’s quite an invest-

ment (of time and money).”At the start of the year, assess-

ments of each beach are complet-ed to look at potential sources of contamination and are dealt with when possible. Throughout the season, spreadsheets are complet-ed and geometric mean calcula-tions (used to estimate bacteria levels of E.coli in water) are com-pleted.

Different factors that can cause a variation in bacteria counts are the wind, temperature changes and rainstorms, said Lyster. A high number of bath-ers, birds and animals, sewage spills, private sewage disposal systems and pleasure boats are also potential factors, according the health unit.

Jean-Guy Albert, program man-ager with Ottawa Public Health,

said there were “extenuating cir-cumstances” in Ottawa, which led the city to exceed provincial regu-lations and conduct daily tests.

“We elected to test seven days per week because there were a lot of events at the beaches – like festivals – and a big demand from the public,” said Albert, as there are close to 850,000 people in the city, plus the visiting greater pop-ulation.

Albert said E.coli levels can change quite drastically, depend-ing on the area.

“Factors may vary from day to day, depending on the beach,” he said.

Whi le Pet r ie Is land and Westboro beaches in Ottawa are more susceptible to external fac-tors and have fluctuating numbers, others, such as Brittania Beach, remain generally constant.

Albert said he cannot say if testing once per week would put anyone at risk.

“It varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction,” he said.

Lyster said the current setup is not a perfect system and the health unit is constantly on the lookout for better methods, such as a predictive model. That type of system would allow staff to look at factors over time and be able to predict what the water quality would be in upcoming conditions, as opposed to the “snapshot,” which looks into the past.

Switching to a predictive model is something the health unit has been doing preliminary research on, but won’t be able to do so at this time.

“It requires a lot of technology, infrastructure and capacity. We’re only looking at it from afar, as it is equipment and manpower inten-sive,” said Lyster. “It’s safe to say

we are using the capacity we have to the best of our ability.”

In early July, when Riverside Beach in Carleton Place was closed, Centennial Beach, located directly across the river, remained open.

While the bacteria count at Riverside Beach was high that week, said Lyster, they remained at a safe and acceptable level across the river.

While the City of Ottawa posts E.coli counts daily, Lyster said, in the past, the public has not been generally interested in the specific counts, only if the beaches were open or not.

“It’s a fairly black and white thing,” she said, though if feed-back indicated the public wanted to know the specifics, the unit would look into it.

Lyster said the health unit strictly follows the provincial pro-tocols, including the beach man-agement protocol.

The beaches are generally test-ed from June until September.

OTHER TESTINGWhile the health unit is busy

testing the beaches across the area, they are also conducting mosqui-to trapping to test for West Nile Virus and ticks to test for Lyme Disease.

“It takes a lot of human involve-ment,” said Lyster. “(The tests) are important because it is become a pandemic in our area.”

On top of the seasonal research, the health unit continues stan-dard programs, such as restaurant inspections and responding to complaints regarding environmen-tal and health concerns.

Testing the waters in Lanark County


Area residents can use empty wine and beer bottles to help their local environment.

On Friday and Saturday, July 24 and 25, Rideau Environmental Action League (REAL) volunteers will be setting up in front of the Beer Store at 75 Lombard St. for their very first bottle drive. This event will run from 2 to 8 p.m.

This is a chance for patrons of the Beer Store and the LCBO to contribute towards REAL, their local environmental association.

REAL has been working to improve the local and regional envi-ronment since 1989. Over 1,000 area residents take part in its annu-al Pitch-In clean up.

The REAL DEAL Reuse Store has reduced waste by extending the lifespan of many household items and renovation materials. The communal garden is its latest project, a collaborative effort between Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County, the Smiths Falls Club for Youth, the LINK and REAL to encourage healthy, local food production.

The Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) is now seeking photo entries for the 2011 charity pet calendar.

Pet owners all have one (or many): that cute photo of your dog gazing at you adoringly as man’s best friend does, or perhaps the cat goofing around with its favourite toy. Those photos that give you a warm fuzzy feeling when you look at them, or make you laugh so hard you shed a tear.

Why not share them with LAWS and help a good cause at the same time?

Send your photos in, as well as your choice of calendar date, as slots always fill up quickly. The entry deadline is Sept. 1 and prices this year follow that of previous years - $20 for the first photo and $10 for each additional photo entered. Photos may be sent electronically for the 2011 edition and are being looked after by Cathy Hasler.

Email your photos to either [email protected] or [email protected], with attention to Cathy Hasler.

As a non-profit organization with no funding except for donations and fundraising activities, LAWS relies on the public to support the cause. Dollars donated go immediately to the animals in LAWS’ care.

ABOUT LAWSLAWS has been a member of the Ontario Society

For The Prevention Of Cruelty To Animals (OSPCA) for most of its existence, first as a branch and later as an affiliate.

LAWS remains the only affiliate with the OSPCA not to use the word “humane” or “SPCA” in its

public identity. This makes searching for LAWS difficult for people looking for their local “humane society” or trying to distinguish LAWS from a res-cue/pound. LAWS is affiliated with the Ontario SPCA and receives no funding from either the gov-ernment or the OSPCA provincial office.

The shelter’s affiliation with the OSPCA gives LAWS and only LAWS (in Lanark County) the mandate to enforce both federal and provincial laws that deal with animal welfare. The shelter is also the only enforcement agency in Ontario that receives no funding to enforce those laws.

The shelter is also part of a community of over 50 members (through its affiliation) that speaks in one voice for the welfare of the animals. Some of the many services the shelter provides includes cru-elty investigations, bringing perpetrators of cruelty to court, sheltering and adoptions, wildlife rescue around the clock, government and industry advo-cacy, humane education, reducing pet overpopula-tion through the Spay Neuter Assistance Program (SNAP), emergency rescue and treatment and reunit-ing lost pets with their owners.

Upcoming fundraising events for LAWS include fundraising garage sales set for 9 a.m. to noon on July 24 and Aug. 21. You will be sure to walk away with some treasures you have been looking for, and a few you weren’t. All garage sales take place at LAWS’ shelter, located on Glenview Road, off of Highway 43, about two kilometres west of Smiths Falls.

For information about LAWS, to volunteer or make a donation, please visit www.lanarkanimals.ca, email [email protected], or call 613-283-9308.

THIS WEEK STAFF

The need for blood and blood products remains constant.

During the summer, more Canadians fail to keep their appointments to give blood. Canadian Blood Services needs donors to keep appointments, if pos-sible.

If this is not possible, please call 1-888-2-DONATE and let the organization know, so appoint-ments can be re-scheduled. This way, another slot can be opened up for another donor.

The Smiths Falls Civitan Club will be hosting a blood donor clinic on Wednesday, July 28 in the main hall from 1 to 8 p.m. Call 1-888-2-DONATE to book an appointment.

Blood donor clinic in Smiths Falls next Wednesday

This is what happened to me personally. After suffering for years I desperately tried everything, drugs,natural products,physiotherapy, acupuncture, magnets and nothing was of any real help. Finally I had reliefin 2 weeks by taking shark cartilage that was specially processed to preserve the natural activeingredients. This is the kind we are now promoting. I realized then that there are over 50 million men

and women that are battling the same illness and gettingtreatments that are not working well, otherwise we wouldnot have this ongoing huge health problem. In the last 10years we have helped tens of thousands of men and womento have less pain or no pain at all. This is a by-product ofthe food industry. No sharks are caught because of theirbones/cartilage. Nick A. Jerch, President

The Lanark County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are investigating a residential break and enter that occurred on July 12 at approximately 9:20 a.m. on Megan Drive, which is located in the Township of Beckwith.

Two occupants were home in the basement when one heard footsteps and a loud bang from the floor above. After realizing that someone

had been in the house, they safely exited and called the police. Police attended to investigate and determined that suspect(s) entered the home and accessed a main floor bedroom where jewel-lery and prescription medication was taken. It is believed the suspect(s) fled through a path at the rear of the residence which leads to the 10th Line of Beckwith at the railway crossing.

Police are asking for assistance from the pub-lic. If anyone observed any suspicious vehicles

on July 12 between 9 and 10 a.m. in the area of the 10th Line in Beckwith and/or near the rail-way crossing or has any information on this mat-ter, they are asked to call Lanark County OPP at 613-267-2626 or toll free at 1-888-310-1122.

If one wishes to remain anonymous, they can contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or submit online at www.mississippitay-crimestoppers.ca. If a tip leads to an arrest, one can be eligible for a cash reward.

The sound of bouncing bas-ketballs and squeaking sneak-ers echoed throughout the Perth and District Collegiate Institute (PDCI) gymnasium on July 7. The PDCI Blue Devils held their 21st annual basketball camp for children in grades 3 to 9, on July 5 to 9.

The camp teaches children the fundamentals of playing basket-ball, while helping them develop their skills in a fun environment. It was run by PDCI basketball coach Kevin Bellamy, who has been involved with the camp since its inception.

He said that the camp has a very serious regimen that develops young player’s skills in a fun environment. He said that having the camp run for only three hours a day helps keep the kids stay interested and motivated.

“We can all work hard for three hours,” Bellamy said. “After that, the kids can go out and be kids for the afternoon.”

Several of the camp’s coach-es currently play for Bellamy at PDCI, and were once his students at the camp. Tommy

Somervil le, 15, is a camp coach and point guard for the PDCI Blue Devils. He hopes to play college basketball in the future.

“I’ve been in the program since I was seven,” Somerville said. “I love coaching, it’s fun working with the kids.”

Adam Guarisco, 14, an Ottawa resident, has been par-ticipating in the camp for the last five years. He hopes to play high school basketball at Ashbury College this fall.

“It’s a lot of fun,” Guarisco said. “My favourite activity is the dribble keep-away. It helps your ball-handling.”

Parents brought their children to the camp from all over the Ottawa region including Ottawa, Smiths Falls, Carleton Place, as well as Perth.

“I like this program because it gets the kids involved in the basics,” said Angie Atkinson, whose n ine-year-o ld son , Spencer, has participated in the camp for three years.

“The team building is impor-tant.”

The next camp for grades 3 to 9 will be held from Aug. 9 to 13 at PDCI. For more informa-tion, or to register, go online to: www.perthtigersbasketball.com.
