Where’s everybody going? The cast of BarnDoor Productions’ Lysistrata call down a blessing on their show in the opening number of the brand new, 2,400-year-old musical comedy which runs Aug. 11 to 20 at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre.
'Lysistrata' blows away 2,400 years of cobwebs If you want funny, if you want tuneful, if you want straight up zany entertainment, then Perth's Full Circle Theatre is the place to be this week and next, and Lysistrata is the musical you want to see. It's 411 B.C. in sunny Athens, Greece, but gone are the days when Greeks stood shoulder-to-shoulder to keep back the Persians (as told recently in the 300 movies). Athens has been at war with Sparta for more than 20 years and life for Athenian housewives is tough. All the husbands are off to war and, as one women laments, there's no one left "who's old enough to do it — or still knows what to do." Along comes Lysistrata, a typical Athenian housewife, who gets an idea of how to stop the war: all the women have to do is to renounce ... you know ... sex ... until the war is settled. She enlists all the women of Athens — and even of Sparta, too. They take over the Acropolis and, from "the high place,” commence their strike. It's hard for them, but not as hard as it is for the men. Lysistrata is a brand-new, 2,400-year-old musical. The original play was written by Aristophanes, a Greek who is credited with creating "New Comedy" — basically, he invented comedy as we know it today. Nearly two-and-a-half millennia later, we can still laugh out loud at his plays. BarnDoor Productions' new musical adaptation of the story is snappy, sassy — sexy! — full of fun music and, guess what?, has a subtle little message that's just as in-your-face today as it was back then. It's also BarnDoor's biggest production in a long time, with lots of music, lots of dancing, lots of colourful costumes and lots of laughs. The show is a crazy mix of chorus girls singing jazzy numbers, a traditional Greek chorus intoning in iambic tetrameters or some such, bawdy jokes, smart jokes, physical humour
and more than a hint of politics. With numbers like Shut Your Mouth where the women explain how they'll run the country now; Baby, I'm Not Saying I Don't Love You as a newlywed teases her husband into a state and then sends him away to conclude a peace before they ... you know; and the opening number Athens, which mixes Broadway with a lesson on Greek history, the score is jazzy, fun and toe-tappingly hummable, but it also includes a couple of numbers that are based on some of the most ancient melodies that exist — one of them going back to 450 B.C. It's a show unlike anything you're going to hear, or see, anywhere else — at least this summer. BarnDoor Productions has never
backed away from the controversial, and Lysistrata has plenty of that: the combination of subject matter and the very frank way the Greeks looked at it might be shocking even today. That, of course, is half the fun of the show and it is fun, and funny, indeed. Lysistrata is the final show of BarnDoor's 22nd season. It will run Aug. 11, 12, 17, 18, 19 at 7:30 p.m. and Aug. 13 and 20 at 1:30 p.m. at the barrier-free, air-conditioned Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig St., Perth, near Last Duel Park. Tickets are just $20 reserved, $22 at the door, students $10. No credit cards are needed; cash at the performance is requested. For more information or ticket reservations, call 613-267-1884 or visit www.barndoorproductions.ca.

Lanark County Crime Stoppers seeks new board members The Lanark County Crime Stoppers (LCCS) board is actively seeking new members. The board is seeking individuals who would enjoy contributing their time and talents to a successful organization that works with local law enforcement to help solve and prevent crime across the county. Crime Stoppers was established in the eastern sector of Lanark County in 1992 and was initially called Carleton Place/Almonte Crime Stoppers. Later, the area of operation was expanded and the name was changed to Mississippi/Tay Crime Stoppers. Along the way, the board joined forces with Lanark County Wildlife Crime Stoppers and most recently took the name Lanark County County Crime Stoppers, which better reflects their area of responsibility within the provincial Crime Stoppers network. The board of directors is currently comprised of eight members who carry out the various programs and duties of a Crime Stoppers board of management. The board is supported by
a dedicated police co-ordinator, a member of the Lanark County detachment of the OPP. In addition, the board employs a part-time, civilian public co-ordinator, who works in conjunction with the board members and police coordinator. The LCCS board meets one Wednesday a month at the Carleton Place OPP station to review monthly progress, which includes tips, payouts, finances, public awareness projects and other relevant business that needs to be discussed. LCCS participates in various activities across the county, including public awareness booths at fairs and programs
run in high schools (including video and poster contests). County ‘Crimes of the Week’ news releases are prepared and distributed to local media. Each summer, fishing lures are purchased by Crime Stoppers with the logo and 1-800 number printed on them. They are passed out by the hundreds on the waters of the Mississippi River and lake system by OPP marine unit officers. Sponsorships include county bike rodeos and LCCS partners with Circle K (former Mac’s Milk). LCCS maintains public awareness signs on most major county roads. Members enjoy participating in a number of public activities, and hand out hundreds of balloons at community events and festivals annually. The public co-ordinator continues to offer presentations at schools across the county on how to identify and report crimes. LCCS members attend provincial and regional conferences, and the Lanark board hosts certain activities in an effort to keep informed about

Canadian Safe Boating Council, OPP team up to reduce impaired driving on waterways Drinking and boating accounts for approximately 40 per cent of boating-related fatalities on Canadian waterways. To raise awareness and reduce alcohol-related deaths, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is partnering with the Canadian Safe Boating Council (CSBC) to launch year five of an initiative called Operation Dry Water. Its goal is to discourage the dangerous practice of boating while impaired by alcohol. With the summer boating season in high gear, it is the perfect time to remind Canadian boaters about the risks of impaired boating. Combined with sun, wind, waves, and the rocking motion of the boat, the effects of alcohol on the water can be greatly
increased. Through this initiative, the CSBC and the OPP would like to bring attention to the issue of boating under the influence. While the responsibility of law enforcement on the water falls on police, the responsibility to ensure our waterways are a safe place to work and play is shared by all boaters. Alcohol and drug impairment continue to be a factor in boating deaths and injuries and, similar to the efforts on our roadways, we all have a role to play. Operation Dry Water focuses on the potential risks of impaired boating and opportunities to discourage it. Being charged with impaired operation of a vessel carries the same consequences as impaired operation of a
motor vehicle, and in Ontario that includes a suspension of your vehicle driving privileges. Upon conviction, a judge may prohibit operating a boat for a period of time and the repercussions of a criminal impairment conviction can go far beyond the initial incident.
In Ontario, no alcohol can be consumed by anyone on board while a boat is underway. Only boats with permanent sleeping, cooking, and washroom facilities on board may permit consumption, but only when docked or at anchor. Never boat under the
influence. Operation Dry Water's target is to reduce the number of alcohol-related incidents and fatalities on the water while fostering education and discussions that promote and create a visible deterrent to alcohol use while boating. The
end goal ... a safer and more enjoyable experience on the water for everyone. For more information, visit the CSBC website at www. csbc.ca under CSBC Safety Campaigns. Submitted by the Ontario Provincial Police

COMMENTARY Move over
L
eading into the start of a campaign planned for the August Civic holiday weekend, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) were offering some disconcerting stats. Officers in OPPpatrolled areas laid 2,443 charges in 2016 against drivers who allegedly failed to slow down and/or move over for emergency vehicles, as is required under the Highway Traffic Act. The yearly totals for provincial police have risen steadily since 2011, which an OPP release asserts is “ ... a clear sign that many drivers still fail to consider the well-being of the roadside emergency workers the law aims to protect.” It’s not just police cars, fire trucks, and ambulances with the flashing lights that are covered by the provincial statute; the law was amended in 2015 to include tow trucks that are parked on a roadside and have their amber lights flashing. At least 11 OPP vehicles that were stopped for an emergency were struck last year, according to the release. It’s not just the threat
of a $490 fine and three demerit points, plus much more severe penalties for repeat offenders; the so-called move over law is intended to protect the men and women whose job it is to protect the rest of us. And, on a related note, this could also serve as a reminder to those of us who live in or drive through small towns and rural areas served by volunteer firefighters. Although the flashing green lights in firefighters’ cars, pickups, and vans do not carry the same regulatory protection granted to red-light emergency vehicles and tow trucks, the same principle should apply. Whenever possible, slow down, pull over, or yield to the vehicles with the green lights. Those men and women are responding to fire and collision emergencies as well as a growing number of medical assist calls. It’s more of a courtesy than a compliance issue, but the rural reality is that flashing green lights are as important as the other colours of the emergency services rainbow.
Thrashing time on the farm was like a holiday for Mary Aunt Lizzie called it “threshing,” but everyone I knew called it "thrashing.” Father said his sister got highminded when she moved to Regina and left the farm at Northcote behind, and sometimes he had no idea what she was talking about. Anyway, it was thrashing time and to me it was like a holiday ... just like the Saturday night card parties, only there was no music. Early in the morning, farm neighbours would start to arrive, and they would stand around the barnyard, smoking their pipes, waiting for Mr. Briscoe to bring the big thrashing machine, pulled down our long lane by his tractor. There was nothing to do until that boozer of a ma-

chine was situated, and the daylong work began. As many as 15 neighbours would be there, and that meant they would have to be fed their noon meal, as the thrashing could go on until late in the afternoon. Mother and my sister Audrey would be up before dawn, and the old Findlay Oval would be fair hopping by the time the first few neighbours had arrived. That year my best friend Velma came across the 20 acre field. With the wild rush to have dinner ready at the stroke of 12, Mother and Audrey had no time to bother with the likes of me ... barely seven years old. And so Mother said I could have Velma over to play.
Alec was there too, as were a couple of her older brothers. The wonderful smell of roast pork and boiled turnips drifted through the open window, and Velma, far more adventurous that I was, We sat in the grape arbour in the two-seated swing, and could hear the kitchen sounds coming through the opened window. The clatter of dishes as the big table was being set, the bake table used, and another make shift table made of planks on two ‘sawhorses,’ covered with flour bag sheets, all needed to feed the neighbours who had come to help with the thrashing. Of course, Velma’s father, Uncle

digging into their pies. And so we sat it out until Velma took a peek in through the window and said the pie was on their plates. It didn’t take long for the men to clean their plates and head out the door to the job at hand. Velma and I went into the kitchen, where Mother and Audrey had collapsed onto two chairs with their plates in front of them at the old pine table. We grabbed two plates off the bake table, and loaded them with what was left of dinner, which wasn’t much. There wasn’t a scrap of pie. It looked like Mother and Audrey were all in. It didn’t take long for me to realize we had walked right into a pile of work. Mother said we could fill the dishpan with hot water from the reservoir, and start into washing up, and Velma could grab a clean tea towel. Well, that certainly wasn’t what either of us had in mind! Mother made sure we had everything in order for the job at hand, and then she and Audrey took their loaded plates out into the grape arbour, and it wasn’t long before we could hear the sound of the swing seats gently going back and forth.

ma wanted to know how we got into cleaning up the dishes. I didn’t have an answer. I took a peek out the kitchen window. The swing had stopped moving. Audrey was asleep in one seat, and Mother in the other. My friend and I had no choice but to dig into cleaning up the dishes. Just when we thought we were finished, Mother said I was to get a pail of fresh water from the pump, and chip off shards of ice from the icebox, take a tin cup out of the cupboard, and take it out to the workers in the barnyard. There was no time left in the afternoon for Velma and me to play, and right then I decided when it came time for the thrashing machine to go to her farm, I would stay home. Spending a whole afternoon cleaning up the kitchen after more than a dozen farmers had eaten a full meal, was not my idea of a fun time. The last I saw of Velma that day, she was heading across the 20 acre field with her head down, and every step an effort. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

greenhouse gas emissions. These are hard to do things, but we all can make the effort to reduce these even if we do not give them up altogether. Government action is also required but the political will has to come from us, the residents of Canada. Elected officials are always looking to the next election. Will their actions in government make it more likely or less likely that they will be re-elected? Our Prime Min-
ister and Members of Parliament need to know that we support their plans to curtail greenhouse gas emissions to prevent the worst impacts of climate change. Citizens Climate Lobby, now a global organization, is dedicated to promoting carbon fee and dividend. It is a simple, market based mechanism that will reduce carbon pollution and reduce poverty at the same time. A fee is collected on fossil fuels at their
source or entry into the country and rebated in full to Canadians on an equitable basis. The fee will drive energy efficiency and conservation and boost Canada’s innovative clean technology sector. The dividend will help middle and lower income Canadians deal with increased costs: about a third will get more money back than their increased costs and another third will break even. Citizens Climate Lobby
empowers people to have personal and political breakthroughs. Consider joining us. It is very uplifting and empowering to speak directly to our elected officials to encourage them to ensure that we have a livable world for ourselves as well as to leave to our children.

Noble efforts to ‘Save the Bees’ may do the exact opposite Recently the world has been abuzz with attention on saving the bees. While this is a noble undertaking, doing so may in fact lead us in the opposite direction. The bee issue has been poorly defined in many cases, leading to efforts that may not offer true solutions and relief for our pollinator pals. Honey bees are an introduced species, native to Europe and Africa. These bees were brought to North America hundreds of years ago to provide honey and beekeeping opportunities for settlers. Nowadays, honey bees are touted as the most important and dominant of agricultural pollinators. While the latter is true, the first point may not be. There are more than 850 species of bees in Canada. These bees are responsible for pollinating our wildflowers, trees, and agricultural crops as well. Canada’s wild bees range from tiny solitary mining bees, which live in the ground, to the fuzzy bumble bees that clumsily bumble from flower to flower. The portrayal of the bee crisis in the mainstream media has been less than accurate. A sort of pandemonium has accompanied the crisis, causing people to react with actions directed as saving the bees. There are some issues with this. Honey bees are not native, and are not at risk of decline in the same way that our wild bees are. Their generalist

diet and large colony size has allowed honey bees to become dominant in agricultural and wild ecosystems in southern Ontario (and much of North America). In fact, honey bees have been found to decrease the number of wild pollinators that are able to survive. Who cares? Well, our wild bees have unique characteristics that allow them to be successful pollinators and key players in our ecosystems. It is not yet understood what the contribution of wild bees is to agriculture, however, it is known that wild bees are often better pollinators of agricultural crops than honey bees are. On a beeper-bee basis, bumble bees are able to carry more pollen than honey bees. They are also able to buzz-pollinate,
which means they contract their flight muscles while on a flower, causing the flower to release pollen. Without buzzpollination, certain species of flowers could not reproduce. In agriculture, bumble bees are used in greenhouses for their ability to buzz-pollinate tomato plants, increasing fruit set and size on the plant. Honey bees are wrongfully portrayed in the media as the face of the bee crisis. While there are various threats that honey bees may face, such as decreasing colony sizes, our wild bees are facing much more intense threats. In fact, what used to be one of the most abundant bumble bee species in Ontario, the rusty-patched bumble bee (Bombus affinis), has not been seen in the province since 2009. Land-
use changes, climate change, pesticide use, and disease are commonly referred to as the largest threats faced by wild bees. The bottom line is, offering protection to an introduced and managed species of bee does nothing to protect the vibrant and varied assemblage of bees that we have in Canada. Science has yet to understand what role these pollinators play in the environment. Before biologists are even able to understand the ecology of a bee, they are faced with developing conservation strategies to manage and increase their populations. This is backwards. Efforts to save the bees may do the opposite. By introducing a honey bee hive in your property, you increase the competition for resources with the wild bee population. Honey bees have been found to decrease the number of different species of wild bees, as well as their population numbers, when they are present in the same habitat. Avoiding the introduction of a nonnative species that causes stress on the native species, is usually a good idea. One of the most common efforts to save the bees is by planting a pollinator garden. Planting flowers that were grown with the use of pesticides introduces wild bees to increased potential challenges, as certain pesticide have been found to cause death in some species of wild bees. Further, when planting a garden, many people do
not consider that the plants should be native to their area. Without this consideration, plants are planted that the bees do not feed on in the wild, which means that the bees are likely not consuming adequate nutrition. It also increases the chance of introducing an invasive plant that may take over the natural environment. While efforts to save the bees are noble and necessary, it is not just the honey bees that need our help. The beautiful abundance and diversity of native bees that we enjoy in Canada must be protected as well. It is up to us to do so. Plant organically-grown, native flowers. Plant flowers of different colours and shapes, that bloom at different times during the season, giving wild bees a season-long supply of food. Don’t introduce honey bees, and if someone else does, perhaps let them know that they might want to plant some extra flowers to support the wild bees. The bee crisis is urgent and action is needed, but don’t forget to do your homework. There is an incredible amount of information available online and with local naturalist groups that will break down everything needed to be a true friend to the bees. Let’s ensure that efforts to ‘Save the Bees’ do just that! Shelby Gibson is masters student and pollinator conservation activist from Almonte

These sizzling summer days, there’s nothing quite like sitting back and letting cool breezes wash over you. Of course, a breezy play with refreshing characters can have the same effect, especially in an airconditioned theatre. Premièring at the Studio Theatre in Perth on Thursday, Aug. 17, it’s Bernard Slade’s oh-so-light-hearted Romantic Comedy — a breath of fresh air for anyone who simply wants to laugh and let go on a summer evening. While you may not know the name Bernard Slade, you surely know his work. In the 1960s and ‘70s, Slade was the force behind such television classics as Bewitched, The Flying Nun and The Partridge Family, before turning his talents to the Broadway stage with hit shows like Same Time Next Year, Tribute and Romantic Comedy. In the Studio Theatre’s production of Romantic Comedy, directed by veteran actor/director David Parry, Hugh McCulloch stars as sarcastic, self-absorbed Broadway playwright Jason Carmichael. As the play opens, Jason is having a life-changing day: his longtime writing partner has just announced that he’s retiring and Jason is getting married in a few hours. Enter Phoebe Craddock (played engagingly by actress Annie West), who is Jason’s biggest fan and a talented scribe in her own right. The two soon become successful writing partners, whose timing — it turns out — is perfect on stage, but amusingly out of whack in their love life. Jason and Phoebe produce hit after hit for 10 years, until inevitably, their luck runs out. Needless to say, the situation is ripe with comic possibilities. Also starring in the show are stage veterans Lucas Tennant as newspaper reporter Leo Janowitz; Jennifer Jasiak as pushy Hollywood actress Kate Mallory; Shiela

Lack of information makes for uninformed public We are living in a very different world in the 21st century. Things are happening so quickly that it is hard to keep up. Despite the emergence of Facebook, Twitter and socalled “instant news” I think people today are far less informed than they should be. Certainly the fall of what was once the mainstream media and the steady decline of daily newspapers in particular has contributed to an information vacuum which instant news is unable to fill. When I was young the daily newspaper was the backbone of the news business. Most homes received a newspaper delivered to the door, every day except Sunday. In fact
most families had one or more children who delivered the newspaper during their formative years. It was often the first “job” young people had and as I recall the majority of carriers were very serious about the responsibility they had taken on. Delivering news and advertising to paying customers was, after all, a very serious business! In those days, along before the arrival of cable television and the explosion of all news channels such as CNN, the daily newspaper was the closest thing we had to instant news. Rival papers competed voraciously in major markets including Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Ottawa and Ed-

monton in this country. In Canada the advent of ‘The Sun’ newspapers in the 1970s and 1980s heralded the arrival of the “tabloid press” complete with garish headlines, while entertainment and sports stories often bumped national and international news from the main pages. Many males of the species looked forward to their daily peek at the now passé “Sunshine Girl.” Not that I was
among them of course. My goodness, how things have changed though! A period of sales and acquisitions marked the arrival of a new era in journalism. Since then the fittest have gobbled up the minnows in the marketplace. That trend has failed to stabilize the daily newspaper industry which, so far, has not dealt with the explosion of internet news and advertising. Dailies are in a readily apparent state of freefall. The emergence of the “commuter newspaper” has also failed to stem the tide. Today, instead of newspaper carriers going door-todoor after school with the daily paper, an ever shrinking

market for such products means our newspaper is now dropped off by a gentleman in a truck in the wee hours of the morning. We’re among a mere handful of people in our large and established neighbourhood that still receive a daily newspaper. Fortunately there are survivors in the newspaper industry. You are currently reading one of them! Community newspapers, delivered to every door once a week, have found their niche and are now the dominant force in the business. I realize the odds against newspapers in general are growing. But like many faithful readers I am hopeful print media will continue to have a place on the information highway. Loyal readers I realize I am preaching to the converted here. If you see this column then you are likely among those who regularly read a newspaper, either in hard copy form or online. Thank you for your ongoing patronage! As a career newspaper person I am certainly pleased there is still an audience. I’m hardly arrogant enough to think that if you don’t read a newspaper you are uninformed. News comes in so many ways today, more than ever before. However, based on what I am seeing and hearing these days I’m alarmed at how uninformed many people are. I think that is especially true of young people. Most never see a newspaper and many seldom listen to the news on radio or watch news on television. I’ll be challenged by some for what I am about to write. But I truly believe that an uninformed public led to the election of Donald Trump who, like it or not, is busily trying to rewrite the political landscape south of the border. He’s had limited success to date. Still, his mere presence has dramatically changed the political picture in the world’s most powerful nation. I also wonder how
many Canadians really know what is going on, politically speaking that is? Currently our federal scene is dominated by a good looking, young Prime Minister. But I think it is now clear that he’s far better at posing for selfies than he is at providing worthwhile “news bytes” for those of us who follow politics every day. Popular and trendy, but badly lacking in experience and substance! Another major concern for me, as a news junkie, is how many people I hear saying, “I get all my news on the internet!” I’m concerned because I know that’s not possible. The usually small bytes available on the world wide web leave me wanting in most cases. That is particularly true of local news. Without a newspaper such as this one, or the few radio stations that still provide good local news, how can people possibly know what is happening in their own community? To me the most important political news for anyone in this country is what is happening at the municipal level. That’s because municipal decisions affect us more than those made at any other level of government! Newspapers, including this one, remain the best source for local news presented in a comprehensive way. With radio veering away from news and television stations cutting staff and local content, the internet simply doesn’t provide enough detail for anyone to reach a decision on what is happening in their community or their country. Vital things such as who to vote for at election time! Lack of information is a massive problem when it comes to making important political decisions in this and every developed nation. Given the fall of the news media I fear for the future. Because uninformed people make bad decisions!

Fort Hemlock opening night at Station Theatre barely two weeks away Lines are memorized, costumes fitted, last minute stage directions given and now it’s full rehearsals until opening night Aug. 18. Fort Hemlock starts at The Station Theatre in Smiths Falls in a little over two weeks. Laughs and energy fill the small theatre three nights a week in preparation for the world premiere performance. Watch for Hailey Besharah and Wil Lackie (who play Isabella and Will), two kids out to foil the bad guys from killing off turkeys before they get to market; keep an eye out for the MacDonald brothers – John, James and Joseph (Nathan Matthews, Justin Lemoine and Taylor Gilligan) – who are ticked off because they can’t get their goods to market fast enough, and then there’s old lady Dolan who uses an ear trumpet and only says “Eh?” This is a perfect summer play – locally written, superb sets (Rideau Queen at the front of the theatre), familiar place names, humour, and a ‘Girls Rule’ theme. As an added attraction, the theatre is partnering with the pub and eatery of the same name – Fort Hemlock, 32 Beckwith St. S – to provide a

Classic Theatre's Candida draws high praise from leading theatre reviewers While audiences are very much enjoying the current run of the warm and witty Shaw play Candida – the Classic Theatre Festival's production runs until Aug. 13 at 54 Beckwith Street East in Perth – the show's producers are also thrilled to see the strong notices from some of Canada's top theatre reviewers. Jamie Portman, who has distinguished himself as one of the finest theatre critics in the country, currently reviewing for the Capital Critics Cicle and Postmedia, wrote last week: "One of the pleasures of an Ottawa Valley summer is Perth’s Classic Theatre Festival, which has an impressive track record for mounting quality fare. Its current production of Candida is no exception." Iris Winston, a longtime reviewer and writer with the Ottwa Citizen, Variety magazine, and Metroland Media, praised Candida as "breezy and fast moving," and while both have heaped praise on the set, costumes, direction and lighting design, they also had much to say about a strong ensemble that includes Toronto performer Jeffrey Aarles, who plays the role of the conflicted minister Rev. James Morell. Aarles first played the role at Toronto’s Shaw in the City series, directed by Laurel Smith. Teaming up with Smith again in Perth
has been a great experience, tough, as he explains, also a new one. “A play is all about human interactions: change the humans, and you change the interactions,” he says. “Add to that the different venue, different stage management, different designers, different everything. A play is a communal effort. It isn’t like a painting that is completed and framed and remains more or less static for the course of its existence; every production is blessed with many minds, and will emphasize different elements of what the playwright consciously or unconsciously included.” Aarles is especially fond of Shaw’s language, full of wit and wisdom. “What's most amazing about Shaw is that he finds ways to make the political the personal for his characters,” he says. “He wraps his words around ways that people see the world, and he lets those perspectives be presented honestly, and without it feeling at all pedantic, and he somehow manages to do this while retaining great respect for each of them. Shaw creates a framework Photo courtesy Jean-Denis Labelle that doesn’t allow for ‘bad Jeffrey Aarles plays a conflicted husband and minisguys’.” Indeed, Aarles continues, ter in the warm and witty Shaw classic Candida, playin a Shaw play like Candida, ing at Perth’s Classic Theatre Festival until Aug. 13. “Everyone is honest to his or her own standards, whatever the other characters (or Prices Never Seen This Low the audience) might think of them.

their dignity and a kind of honesty, even if we consider the character a total hypocrite. This is what makes Shaw so wonderfully contemporary; the audience will KNOW the characters they meet in his plays. They may speak in unfamiliar ways, but they aren’t strangers. They live next door, or run the corner store, or are in the news on a regular basis.” Aarles came to performing because, as he recalls it, one of his acting teachers used to say that “people choose acting because they like to feel. That now feels like kind of a generalization, but there’s truth in it for me anyway. A character presents opportunities to explore not only one’s own feelings, but to attempt to step into a stranger’s skin and understand the world from his perspective, which is often going to be quite different from one’s own. To feel and react to events not as oneself, but as someone else – doing that makes one look at the whole world a little differently.” Candida has certainly provoked a

good deal of discussion about Shaw’s worldview. It’s also provided an entrée into a world not so different from today’s contemporary gender relations. As part of a storytelling tradition, Aarles says he is pleased that a special connection can be made with each audience member, “It’s a very intimate responsibility, this theatre thing,” he adds. “Most audience members will only come once, and so each performance, we have just the one opportunity to tell this story to this very particular group of people who have come to hear it. I love that responsibility.” Candida runs Tuesday to Sunday at 2 p.m., with 8 p.m. shows Wednesdays and Saturdays. It is followed Aug. 18 to Sept. 10 by the mystery thriller I’ll Be Back Before Midnight. The festival’s historic walking plays continue to run seven times weekly throughout August as well.

Plot twists will sprain your brain in fun spy flick, Atomic Blond MOVIE: Atomic Blond STARRING: Charlize Theron, James McAvoy, Sofia Boutella, Eddie Marsan, Toby Jones and John Goodman DIRECTOR: David Leitch RATING: 18A Before walking into Atomic Blond you should do a checklist. Do you like 80s music? Do you like spy films? Do you like brutal violence? Do you like a lot of brutal violence? You're good? Perfect. Enjoy. Just before the Berlin Wall comes down an MI6 agent is killed. Lorraine Broughton (Charlize Theron) is then sent to clean up the mess. A list detailing every spy currently working on both sides of the cold war has become available. Lorraine has to navigate the cesspool of intrigue and deceit that is Berlin in order to get the list, and uncover a double agent. The entire mission is a mess from the beginning. Lorraine is made al-

most immediately by the KGB. Her contact in Berlin is a man named David Percival (James McAvoy) who seems to be single handedly running the Berlin black market. She's being followed by French agent Delphine Lasalle (Sofia Boutella), and what's worse, some Russian goon is trying to sell the list. There's no one Lorraine can trust. She's playing a deadly game of spy versus spy. A game where the rules keep changing, and no one's sure which side the players are on. Atomic Blond was like a loud and
violent 80s music video. Which isn't a bad thing if you're interested in making a movie with more style than substance. What the film lacks in depth it makes up for in intensity. Most action films have a chase scene here, a fight scene there, but will then give the audience a chance to catch its breath. Atomic Blond, not so much. To be sure the action sequences are gripping, but even the quiet scenes like Lorraine's debriefing, her conversations with Percival and her encounters with Delphine are dripping in tension. You're constantly on edge awaiting the next twist and betrayal. Then there's the violence. A certain level of violence is to be expected, but with Atomic Blond there's a realism that's off-putting, a brutality that's shocking, and an intimacy that's disturbing. You feel every blow and every wound. It's exquisitely choreographed, and at the same time brutal and bloody.
I've often said if you're going to do an action movie do it with quality actors. Even if your film is lacking in depth of character, good actors can raise that bar. This is certainly true here. With the likes of James McAvoy, Sofia Boutella, Eddie Marsan, Toby Jones and John Goodman you have a cast that can make the shallowest of roles appear deep. Then there's Charlize Theron who delivers the must righteous of butt
kickings. I'll say this for Theron, she knows how to commit to a role. From killing enemy agents, to making out with Boutella's character, Theron held nothing back. With a killer 80s soundtrack, wicked violence, Charlize Theron kicking butt, and enough plot twists to sprain your brain Atomic Blond is a fun spy flick. Mark Haskins column is a regular feature.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you see the wisdom in someone else’s idea and you are willing to go along for the ride. Express your support and your utmost confidence in this person and his or her idea.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you might have your mind set on a vacation to an exotic location. If that is your ultimate goal, work toward making it a possibility in the near future.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, it is unwise to make any impulsive commitments or decisions right now. Too many things are in flux, and you have to work through all the scenarios for a little bit longer.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, even though you know what needs to get done, you may experience difficulty adhering to a schedule. Look to a friend to get you back on course.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 The key to creating some spark in your love life this week is through your social life, Gemini. Spend time with an eclectic group of friends who can offer a new experience. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, exercise patience in regards to a financial situation in the coming months. Patience may pay off if you can simply wait things out. Lean on a loved one for support.

Helpful tips to keep cool in your ride during hot summer days Our summer heat can take its toll on just about any vehicle and its airconditioning system. There’s nothing worse than jumping in a sweltering vehicle and flipping on the AC switch only to be rewarded with hot air. Here are a few tips to help you keep things cool. When you’re experiencing a stretch of warm weather, don’t forget to shut the AC off when parking your ride for the day. This ensures that there won’t be any sudden load on the engine during the next startup. Once the engine is started and reaches its normal idle speed, then you can punch the button and enjoy some cool air. Always open the door windows or the sunroof for the first few minutes of your drive to let cool air from the dash vents push out the hot stuff. If you dread getting in a sun-baked car on a hot day, pop one front or rear door open and then open and close the opposite door a few times (with the windows closed). This will pump a surprisingly large amount of hot air out before you take your seat. All vehicle AC systems have a max setting. This shuts off all outside air from coming in and keeps the compressor on full time. It should only be used for the first few minutes of a drive and then turned back to the open-air setting for improved cabin air quality and fuel mileage. After the cabin has cooled down a
bit, turn your car’s HVAC fan setting down to one or two speed below max. This gives incoming air more contact time with the AC evaporator core to lower the dash vent temps. If you’re getting a musty smell of mildew coming from your car’s HVAC system in the hot humid weather, you’re not alone. The evaporator core lives in a very dark, warm, and humid environment; a perfect spot for mould or mildew to grow. You can pay dearly to have professionals access and treat this core with an antifungal agent or you can do it yourself with just the turn of a few controls. Simply set the HVAC settings to full heat with the fan set at one speed below max and roll down the windows for one or two tours of at least 15 to 20 minutes. The dry hot air will kill the mould and mildew and it won’t cost you a thing (except a few beads of sweat). If this musty smell is reoccurring regularly it may be caused by a blocked condensation drain. All auto AC systems have such drains and they’re the cause of the water dripping out from under the vehicle when the AC is running on a hot day. The drain hose is usually located on the engine side of the firewall and can be difficult to access with the vehicle on the ground. Most shops charge little to clear any blockage of these lines. If the dash vent temps on your vehicle’s AC system seem cool enough

but the air flow isn’t optimal, check to see if your vehicle has a cabin air filter (they’re more common than you might think). Swapping one out with a fresh clean one may be all it takes to keep you and your passengers comfortable.

Legacy Cottage plaques presented to Beckwith residents beancars.ca
BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
Beckwith honoured 17 of its cottage families on Aug. 1 with a Legacy Cottage plaque. “This was an idea that came up at Lanark County council,” reeve Richard Kidd stated during the township’s council meeting. Kidd and deputy reeve Sharon Mousseau represent Beckwith residents around the table at Lanark County council. The plaque idea was raised by Tay Valley, and “it was something Sharon and I thought was a good thing, we supported it,” the reeve said. Last month, Beckwith had a group visiting from British Columbia. “They were going on about the diversity of Beckwith,” Kidd said, and “I never really thought of it that way.” There is prime agricultural land along the highway as well as the Goodwood Marsh that stretches from the 9th Line to Franktown, and there is also Mississippi Lake. “For a small municipality to have many geographical features it is something major,” the reeve stated. People come to the lake for recreational purposes and to stay cool during the summer months. “Some cottages have been on Mississippi Lake in Beckwith for 100 years or more,” Kidd said. By way of the Legacy Cottage plaque initiative, Beckwith is recognizing the contributions that the cottage community has made to the area. To be considered for a plaque, a

During Beckwith’s council meeting on Aug. 1, the township honoured 17 of its cottage families with a Legacy Cottage plaque. direct descendant of the same family should have owned the cottage for 50, 75, 100 or 125 consecutive years. Too, a family member should still own the cottage property. Cottages that have been rebuilt or converted into permanent homes were eligible, and the cottage could be on a lake, river or creek in Lanark County. On Tuesday, Beckwith recipients of the Legacy Cottage plaque were as follows: Orkney Cottage, 104 years, Carol and John Nicholson; ‘Squeeze In’, 85 years, Carol Palis and Marilyn Barnard; Father Point, 84 years, Catherine Fraser and Jean Gauthier; The Nicholsons, 78 years, Carol and John Nicholson; Dokken, 75 years, Maynard, Teresa and Karen

Tay Valley is administering the Legacy Cottage plaque program on behalf of the eight municipalities that comprise Lanark County: Beckwith,
Carleton Place, Drummond/North Elmsley, Lanark Highlands, Mississippi Mills, Perth and Tay Valley. The plaque, which measures eight inches by 10 inches, is suitable to hang inside or outside, and it features an etching courtesy of Tay Valley artist Franc van Oort. “The plaque is very nicely done,” Kidd stated. Government funding is not available for the Legacy Cottage plaque program. As a result, recipients pay $60 to cover the cost of their plaque. A Legacy Cottage designation is commemorative only. By the end of May, 180 cottage families in Lanark County qualified for a Legacy Cottage plaque.

Plaque commemorates original township hall BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
An idea of Beckwith Heritage Committee member Dave Scott came to fruition on Aug. 1. On Tuesday, Beckwith council gathered with members of the Beckwith Heritage Committee and Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox & Addington MPP Randy Hillier to unveil a plaque commemorating the site of the original Beck-
with Township Hall. “It is a very nice plaque and picture,” reeve Richard Kidd noted at the start of the municipality’s council meeting that followed. The hall, located on Dakers Road, was built in 1857. Previously, township council meetings alternated between Franktown and Carleton Place – “when Carleton Place was part of Beckwith,” Kidd said. “Then Carleton Place got a
little bit uppity,” he joked. As a result, “a place in the middle was picked – Blacks Corners,” the reeve continued. Carleton Place was eventually established as a separate municipality. The original township hall was a wood structure that was used for 104 years before being destroyed by a fire in 1961. The current municipal office at 1702 9th Line was then constructed.

FAIR
From front page
well. Puppets Up! Presents brings their travelling puppet show to Pakenham at 11:30 a.m., just before the official opening of the fair in the horse show ring at noon. The Fulton Deugo Family, the official 2017 Pakenham Fair Family, will be opening this year’s fair. The Fultons have been in the area since the early 1840s when Scottish immigrant John Fulton and his brothers came to being a new life in rural Ontario. The Fultons settled on 400 acres of mixed forest in Cedar Hill, which included a large crop of sugar maple trees, eventually establishing Fulton’s Pancake House and Sugar Bush. Today, fourth generation Fulton, Shirley Deugo and her son
Scott keep up the tradition. Puppets Up! Presents are back with another performance at 1:30 p.m. and the Frog Jumping Competition will take place in the children’s tent beside the ball diamond at 1 p.m. All frogs will be returned to their home following the race. Save room for some chili when the Chili Cook-off gets underway in the community centre lobby at 2:30 p.m. Come see who will win bragging rights and the title of ‘Best Chili in Pakenham.’ Admission to the fair is $5 for all adults, while children under 12 get in for free. For more information on the 2017 Pakenham Fair, including the fair booklet and full schedule of events, visit www.mississippimills.ca.

Yard of the Week - Iya and James Carson This Yard of the Week is a rural oasis of rock gardens, gravel paths and raised beds among mature pine and spruce trees. Located at 2952 10th Concession Pakenham, the Carsons have been gardening here for the last six years. The property has an abundance of gravel soil, prompting them to plant their vegetables in raised beds. They will harvest around 300 tomatoes growing in the raised beds and/or containers. Other edibles include squash, peppers, cantaloupe and even pumpkins. There are lots of gravel paths leading from one flower bed to another. The beds include yucca, lilies, irises, poppies and many other perennials. There is a pergola planted with hops and a wonderful large rock garden near the front of the property which is planted with perennials and annuals for a colourful show all season long.

Naismith 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament returns for 25th year Aug. 12 The Naismith Basketball Association is proud to host its 25th annual Naismith 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament on Saturday, Aug. 12 on the streets of Almonte. This full-day street ball tournament will include both male and female categories from novice (U10) to adult (18+ and over-35) in teams of three or four players. This beloved community event began in 1992 and has grown steadily in its 20+ years, and features many fun basketball-themed activities and contests throughout the day. Last year was a record one for the 3-on-3 with more than 70 teams registered, with some travelling from as far away as Toronto! And, this year’s is shaping up to be even bigger, as we celebrate the 25th anniversary of our event.
The 25th annual Naismith 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament goes Saturday, Aug. 12 in front of the Almonte Community Centre. Above, the Bantam girls semifinal game at last year’s event. File photo
Building on the legacy of Dr. James Naismith, inventor of basketball and resident of Almonte, Ont., we celebrate his core values of fairness, excellence, inclusion, and fun. Players are encouraged to register in the same age category in which they were registered during the previous basketball season; so, if your player played in the atom (U12) age division during the 2015-16 season, you would register for atom (U12). The tournament is centrally located in front of the Almonte Community Centre, located at 182 Bridge St. in Almonte. There is parking available on site, accessed through the entrance on Brae Street. Novice (U10) divisions play on eight-foot hoops with a modified three-point line. All other divisions play on 10-foot hoops with regula-
tion three-point line in effect. Registration fees are $120 for all youth (U18) divisions, and $140 for adult divisions. Tournament schedule and rules are emailed to all team captains on Friday, Aug. 11. Tournament play begins at 9 a.m. and is finished by 5 p.m. (earlier for some divisions). For more information, email info@naismithbasketball.ca or check out naismithbasketball.ca. Submitted by the Naismith Basketball Association

OPINION
Connected to your community
The legend lives on He walked onto the stage with no warning, no fanfare. How Canadian of him. The afternoon’s host had said that Gordon Lightfoot would be out shortly. And then, there he was. He almost seemed to delight in catching the audience unawares, as ripples of “That’s him!” ran through the crowd, while he gave everyone the thumbs up. It was Sunday, July 23, at the Kemptville Live music festival at the old Kemptville College campus. For all of the frustrations that come with this job, there are great compensations too – such as covering a concert by Gordon Lightfoot. Now, to be fair, another member of my family, my Uncle Mike, himself a musician, had met Lightfoot during a visit to Dublin. It was a meet-the-fans event, in which Lightfoot was very gracious with his time, but their meeting was a fleeting “Nice to meet you,” blip. Legend has it that my mother saw Lightfoot perform at a nightclub in Harcourt Street, Dublin, back in the ’60s. Music is fantastically universal, as my Uncle John, also a musician and children’s author (while not at work with Irish Rail), reminded me recently, telling me in one of his recent letters, that, back in the 1970s, Lightfoot’s music would fill the Devoy house in Dublin, as John and some of my aunts would listen to the strains of this balladeer from the Frozen North. My eldest daughter, Michaela, however, as a major Ariana Grande fan, is slightly less impressed by Lightfoot. Driving to Carleton Place one day this past winter, I had on Lightfoot’s 1967 Centennial-year-inspired song “Canadian Railroad Trilogy.” The song is certainly longer than anything on Top 40 radio these days, and I could tell she was growing restless in the back seat. The song has a circle-back moment, where he repeats the opening lyrics in the final stanza: “There was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not run/When the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun.” In the back of the car came my daughter’s irritated voice: “He just sang this part!” Nearly 50 years later, a far older, slightly drawn Lightfoot stood before me. His voice was not as powerful as it once was, but he made light of the
DESMOND DEVOY Des Says severe health scare that nearly killed him several years ago: “Rumours of my death are greatly exaggerated!” he said, with a mixture of defiance and mirth. “We love the work.” I heard a woman mutter that “I can die happy now,” when she heard him perform his 1976 hit “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” though this was an updated version of the song in which he corrects a line or two about how the ship may have actually gone under the waves of Lake Superior. Yes, I did find myself singing along as I took my photos. Joy is a word not often synonymous with journalism – but in this moment, it was. Some of the songs were unfamiliar to me. I guess they were his later tunes. But while there was a catch in the throat, followed by a standing ovation for “Edmund Fitzgerald,” for many in the audience, I was deeply moved by his song “Race Among The Ruins.” I cannot tell you how much that 1976 song helped me through many sad days in the winter of 2000-2001. My romantic life had taken a significant detour, and it was the saddest I remember ever feeling at that point, including when my dog died when I was 12. “Sometimes you must feel blue,” sang Lightfoot from my CD player as I stared at the ceiling of my room in Brampton. The lines “You make the best of each new day/You try not to be sad,” really helped, as did the lines “So take the best of all that’s left/You know this cannot last.” It didn’t, I’m glad to say. A month later, I began to pull out of the funk. And as the song said, I eventually did “Wake up to the promise/Of your dream world comin’ true.” The next Thursday morning, July 29, I had one of the best moments of my journalism career when I saw one of the many photos I had taken of Lightfoot rocking out on stage on the front page of The Kemptville Advance. Thanks Gordon. It doesn’t get any better than this. Once again, you made my day.

Calvary Christian Academy in Franktown looking to expand BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
Calvary Christian Academy (CCA) in Franktown is growing again. A public meeting was held in Beckwith on Aug. 1 regarding a proposed addition to the existing private school. “Calvary Christian Academy submitted an amendment to its existing site plan, which proposes a 2,500 square feet addition,” planning administrator Niall Oddie said on Tuesday night. He noted the addition encompasses three classrooms and a bit of hallway space, and it is on “the north end of the (existing) building, in the same area of the previous addition (early childhood education wing) four years ago.” Located at 9749 Highway 15, Calvary Christian Academy, is situated on 49 acres, which is for the most part vacant. In addition to a large building for the school, there are sports fields and several accessory
structures. “The school has been an asset to the township,” reeve Richard Kidd said. “It started off small, but now it is growing.” The subject property is designated institutional and residential in Beckwith’s Official Plan. The existing school and proposed addition are located within the institutional portion of the property. No development is planned within the residential area. The proposed addition is relatively close to an adjacent residential property (on Irvine Street), but it does satisfy the required side yard setbacks. Oddie noted the existing fire access route would need to be adjusted slightly to accommodate the addition, resulting in the access route abutting a cedar hedge that separates the school from the adjacent property. The hedge is on the CCA side of the property line and may need to be trimmed or removed as necessary. “I mentioned this to Bill (Beck-
with fire chief Bill McGonegal) on the phone and he did not have any concerns with it,” the planning administrator said. Moreover, McGonegal did not request the water storage tanks to be modified as a result of the additional classrooms. “The fire chief did request the fire access route be clear at all times,” Oddie stated. The proposed addition requires modification of the school’s existing septic system, which has already been approved by the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit. Oddie noted in a report to council: “The existing septic permit indicated the system was designed for a maximum of 150 students. The health unit has approved a permit to modify the system to accommodate a maximum of 230 students, which the school anticipates accommodating after another addition in approximately three years.” A copy of the site plan was provided to the Ministry of Transporta-
tion (MTO), in addition to a building and land use permit. “The MTO has indicated to the township that it has no objections to the proposal,” Oddie said. Furthermore, the proposed site plan illustrates a sufficient number of parking spaces for the school and future addition. No comments from any members of the public have been received. CCA principal Tom Bourne attended the public meeting. Knowing already that CCA houses kindergarten to Grade 8, Coun. Brian Dowdall asked about high school. “Yes, we have Grades 9 to 11,” Bourne answered. “There will be

Carleton Place public works getting new loader BY TARA GESNER
tgesner@metroland.com
Carleton Place is investing in a new loader. Director of public works Dave Young appeared at the policy review meeting on July 25 to discuss acquiring the heavy piece of equipment, which can lift or move materials. Bids for the loader were received until the morning of July 20. “We have gone through and reviewed the bids,” Young stated. Eight tenders were received, and they were as follows: Nortax, $214,184.72; Toromont, $245,825.87; Reis Equipment 1, $203,607.92; Reis Equipment 2, $189,574.45; Hartington 1, $209,502; Hartington 2, $192,326; Strongco, $205,770.74; and Wajax Equipment, $244,000. “A few of the bids did not meet the required specifications,” Young announced. Staff discovered neither submission from Reis Equipment qualified, in addition to Hartington’s lowest offer. With three suppliers offering an extended warranty, Young amended the pricing to include the service contract quotes. In the end, two submissions met the required specifications and included an extended warranty: Hartington 1 at $209,502 and Strongco at $210,064.74. “Basically, the two units we came down to were Hartington 1, a Doosan unit, and Strongco, a Volvo unit,” Young said. He added: “Based on staff reviews, we recommend moving forward with the Doosan unit — Hartington 1.” A motion moved by Mayor Louis Antonakos and seconded by Coun. Doug Black was carried to authorize staff to issue a purchase order to Hartington for a new loader at the bid price of $209,502. Structural lining Bids closed the morning of July 19 for the town’s sewer line project — miscellaneous structural lining, “which is part of the Clean Water and Wastewater Fund (CWWF) program,” Young explained. The CWWF is a federal initiative, providing municipalities with vital infrastructure monies to support the rehabilitation and modernization of drinking water, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure, as well as the planning and design of future facilities and upgrades to existing
systems. Two bids were received for the sanitary sewer’s structural lining: Clean Water Works Inc., $492,000.87; and Clearwater Structures Inc., $667,866.16. “The tender low bid is a qualified contractor,” Young said, and “we have done work with them before.” He noted the project’s consultants (Ainley Graham Associates) reviewed the submission and recommends moving
forward. Coun. Doug Black questioned the large difference in pricing. “Probably the biggest factor is Clean Water Works Inc. is based out of Ottawa and Clearwater Structures Inc. is located in Toronto,” Young said. “I would tend to think the local contractor would have better access to our project.” A motion was carried to authorize staff to execute a
contract agreement with Clean Water Works Inc. for a tender bid price of $492,000.87. Through the CWWF, nearly $570 million is being offered, with the Ontario government cost-matching recipient contributions up to a maximum of 25 per cent of total eligible costs. As a result, the funding breakdown is as follows: federal, 50 per cent; provincial, 25 per cent; and municipal, 25 per cent.

2.5 billion to one billion years ago. Their collective story about the geoheritage of our region is a journey far back through time to colliding continents, towering mountains, tropical ocean depths, and a landscape locked in ice. The QR code project of display rock signs and accompanying web pages was supported by a grant from the APGO Education Foundation. The content of the web pages was prepared by volunteers of the Association of Professional Geoscientists of Ontario and the Metcalfe Geo-
heritage Park Committee. The official inauguration of the QR code system is scheduled for 1 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 16, by Dr. Daniel Lebel, Director General of the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC). He will be arriving by canoe in 1840s costume as a dramatization of a special visit to MGP by the GSC’s founder, William Logan. Following his public presentation, Dr. Lebel will also unveil a plaque to commemorate the inauguration of the QR code system as a GSC 175th anniversary event. Sir William Logan (17981875) was the founder and first
director of the GSC, established in 1842, just two years after Upper and Lower Canada were joined to become the United Province of Canada. He was the first geologist to explore and describe the surroundings of the Mississippi River during his great expedition up the Ottawa Valley in 1845. Mount Logan, Canada’s highest mountain, was named in his honour. Watch for further details about the Sept. 16 special event in the Carleton Place Almonte Canadian Gazette.
