Beth Peterkin declines to run for re-election to town council Desmond Devoy

Closing flag gal

Sports - Perth’s Sultana Frizell was the flag bearer in the closing ceremonies on Sunday during the Commonwealth Games at Glasgow, Scotland. Frizell won gold in the hammer throw event with a record-setting distance of 71.97 meters.

In a tweet out to her followers on Twitter, Frizell posted that she was “very excited to be flag bearer... proud of my teammates for their hard work through these games!” Perth Mayor John Fenik, on behalf of the town, congratulated the local athlete on her success.

News – When Perth voters look at their voting options on Oct. 27, the name of Coun. Beth Peterkin will not be on the list of candidates. Peterkin announced on July 29 that she would not be running for re-election to Perth town council. “There is lots of talk around the county: who’s running, who’s not running,” said Peterkin, during a telephone interview on Wednesday, July 30. With the deadline for filing approaching next month, Peterkin knew she would have to make up her mind and end the suspense. “I’ve been thinking of it over the last few months,” said Peterkin, adding she made her mind up “very recently.” However, Peterkin will not be wanting for things to do. She recently joined the Lanark County Community Justice Program as their new executive director at the Perth office. Peterkin served as their first employee back in June of 1998. “It’s a part-time position,” she said, with council work taking up between 30 and 35 hours a week in comparison,

adding that while the new position was not a determining factor in her decision not to run again, having family members with medical conditions – as well as wanting to spend more time with, and travelling with family – were deciding factors. “Any time you make a change in your life, there are pros and cons, and some aspects are bittersweet,” she said. “(But) it is nice to have made a decision.” In fact, she even left the door open to a return to elected office. “I wouldn’t ever consider not going back.” Peterkin said she will continue her work with Heritage Mica Days and tourism initiatives, and added that she would likely volunteer for events to mark the town’s 200th anniversary, “if they will have me.” She said she was very proud that the councils she had been on worked “really well together,” and that certain projects, like the Wilson Street redevelopment, were worth the short term pain. “We (now) have a lovely street,” she said. “That was a huge achievement,” with the sports legacy park planned as a bicentennial marker outside

of the town pool standing as another legacy, currently in the planning stages. “I am really proud of that entranceway,” she said of the main thoroughfare. Other less visible legacies of her six years on council include the installation of the geotubes at the wastewater treatment plant. From one year to the next, one issue Peterkin is sure candidates will have to contend with is that of “keeping the tax rate at (an) affordable level while continuing to provide the same level of service they (taxpayers) have come to expect,” she said. Peterkin was appointed to Perth town council in 2008 after the death of a young councillor. She then won election in her own right in 2010, and in her time on council she has learned that, in politics, “you’ll never be able to please all of the people all of the time. We could paint all of the stop signs blue and they could say, ‘No, we want them purple.’” During her term she had served as the chair of the community services committee, and later, headed up the environmental services committee.

REAL member receives lifetime achievement honour from Green Communities Canada News – One of the Rideau Environmental Action League’s (REAL) members has been recognized by the national organization, Green Communities Canada (GCC). Sue Brandum, REAL’s environmental projects manager, received a lifetime achievement from the GCC this spring. GCC is an umbrella group of Canadian environmental organizations that makes a point of celebrating the valuable work being done by its member organizations and their people. Brandum plays key roles in GCC itself, including been an instigator in developing the Well Aware and ecoENERGY programs, in addition to her paid and volunteer work with REAL. She has championed social enterprise and is the driving force behind the REAL Deal Reuse Store in Smiths Falls, serving as its executive director. Brandum continues to be a well-respected voice for the

environment in eastern Ontario, and the award is truly well-deserved. Resilience awards were also given to several Green Communities, including REAL for 25 years of service. The local non-profit will be celebrating 25 years of environmental action this October. One of its anniversary projects is to award up to ten non-profit groups with $250 towards a local environmental action project in their community. Following REAL’s June annual general meeting, some board roles were reassigned. REAL’s new president, Shawn Merriman, was attracted to REAL as “a unique and valuable resource to the community,” and feels that everyone can be doing more to protect the environment. Stepping up to the position of vicepresident is Karen Schecter, one of REAL’s original members. Schecter has held the secretary-treasurer posi-

tion since 2011, and the secretary position since 2006. Barb Hicks is stepping down as president, a position she held from 2007 to 2013. She will take on the secretary-treasurer role. Returning board members include Peter Au and Donna McKenna. REAL is fortunate to have enlisted Pam Craig, an art and geography teacher from SFDCI to join the group. Craig’s

enthusiasm, organizational abilities and experiences with the school’s environment club and young people will be a great asset to REAL. Also at the table during monthly board meetings is Ken Graham, Smiths Falls town council liaison to REAL. REAL still hopes to recruit one more board member, and would welcome inquiries from anyone willing to make the

commitment. The main requirements are that the candidate be connected to the community, familiar with current and emerging environmental issues, and motivated to do something about them. For more information, please consult REAL’s website at www.REALaction. ca or contact Barb Hicks at 283-9966. Submitted by the Rideau Environmental Action League.

Beckwith Township Fire Department 50th anniversary events this Saturday Jeff Maguire

Community – The Beckwith Township Fire Department will mark 50 years of service to the municipality this Saturday and the general public is welcome and encouraged to participate in the various activities which are planned. On Saturday, Aug. 9 the department, which currently has 26 members, celebrates a half century of success. A full-day of celebrations begins with a pancake breakfast at the fire hall in Blacks Corners followed by an open house and barbecue. The venture concludes with an evening dance at the Beckwith Recreation Complex featuring Eddy and the Stingrays. Bill McGonegal is just the fourth chief in the 50-year history of the fire department. He says all of the firefighters are looking forward to the anniversary observances. “We all get along very well and we enjoy what we are doing,” he says. “If there is a secret to the success of the fire department it is trust. We trust each other and we always back each other up.” Beckwith Reeve Richard Kidd, whose father John was an original member of the department, says the fire company has been a major unifying influence in the township. “There are men from across the township on the department just as there was in the beginning. Their social activities, especially the Firemen’s Ball, brought people in general together,” the reeve recalls. “They are proud of the job they do. And we (citizens) are proud of our fire department,” Kidd states. McGonegal says the anniversary activities will give firefighters an opportunity to meet residents and outline the proud 50-year history of the organization. As mentioned Saturday’s festivities will begin with the pancake breakfast. It will run from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. at the fire hall. The cost is $5 per person. The fire station is located on the 9th Concession of Beckwith, just east of the township municipal building at Blacks Corners. Beginning at 11 a.m. there will be an open house at the fire hall. It will run until 2 p.m. and includes a free barbecue, games for children along with a fire safety presentation. McGonegal says the open house will give citizens an opportunity to see the addition to the fire hall and view the department’s vehicles and exten-

sive amount of equipment. The big day concludes with dancing to the music of the always-popular band Eddy and the Stingrays who feature 1950s and 1960s rock and roll. That event will be held in the recreation complex at Beckwith Park from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Tickets, at $15 per person, are still available or they can be purchased at the door. Charlie Kitts, a member of the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame, will be the emcee. The doors open at 8 p.m. Food will be available and there will be a draw for a cedar shed at 10 p.m. The shed is valued at $2,700 and tickets are $5 apiece or three for $10. The shed was donated by Clearview

truck and build a structure to house it. The truck, a brand new Ford Model 800 with a 1,000 gallon tank, was purchased in the spring of 1964 and arrived in July. That fall the fire hall, a small structure with one bay, was built just west of the current facility. At first the department could equip only six firefighters with turnout (protective) gear. The 21 volunteers who comprised the first fire company shared the coats, boots and helmets. In 1981 a much larger fire hall was constructed just down the 9th Line from the old facility. A recent addition added more bays for fire trucks. The department now has seven pieces of apparatus including a

Since its inception in 1964 the volunteer fire department has provided fire protection for what is now one of the fastest growing municipalities in Lanark County. Lumber Products. Also in connection with the 50th anniversary the Carleton Place Civitan Club, a major supporter of area fire departments, will hold a 50/50 draw. Contact the Beckwith Township office or the Beckwith Township Fire Department if you wish to purchase 50/50 tickets! Began in 1964 Since its inception in 1964 the volunteer department has provided fire protection for what is now one of the fastest growing municipalities in Lanark County. Prior to that time fire coverage in Beckwith Township was provided by the Ocean Wave Fire Company (OWFC) from neighbouring Carleton Place. With its own municipality to provide for and the vast township (some 250 square kilometres) it was an immense responsibility for the OWFC. In the early 1960s the Ontario government decreed that all municipalities in the province must provide their own firefighting. McGonegal says the council of the day, led by the late Reeve Stanley Brunton (he served for more than 30 years as the head of the municipality), did everything they could to help get the department started. In March 1964 a bylaw establishing the fire department was passed. “Council has always been totally supportive of the fire department,” McGonegal stresses. Fifty years ago the first moves were to purchase a fire

front line pumper, heavy rescue unit and two tank trucks. Beckwith is part of the Lanark County Mutual Aid Fire System under which the various departments come to each other’s assistance during serious fires, highway mishaps or other emergencies. Today the department puts a major emphasis on public education visiting schools, talking to community groups and generally teaching people fire safety measures. “The kids (students) take the message home. The number of calls is way down from what it used to be,” McGonegal observes. “People today have home escape plans and they are more fire conscious.” Gary McEwen, the only original member of the department who remains active, recalls a time when they answered scores of calls annually. “We don’t have nearly the number of responses we once had.” McGonegal credits “faster responses and better equipment” with limiting the damage when fire does occur. The current Beckwith Township Fire Department focuses on training and preparedness. Individual firefighters put in hundreds of hours of volunteer service. The department has had four chiefs during its 50-year history. The first chief, the late Robert Brooks, served from 1964-1974. His successor, the late Arthur Nesbitt, headed the department from 19741990. Dale Currie was the third chief serving from 1990-2003.

McGonegal is in his 11th year as head of the department. The current Deputy Chief is Brent Lewis and the captains are Dave Blackburn, Darwin Nolan, Shawn Powell and Dave Scott. The remaining volunteers include Mitch Bourne, Rod Bowes, Dave Currie, Ran-

dy Currie, Ron Deschamps, Pat Donahue, Trevor Doraty, Brent Gardiner, Mike Hart, Ian Jackson, Dustin Lacelle, Dan Levesque, Joe Lewis, Mike McCann, Gary McEwen, Mark McNeely, Al Muus, Dave Parno, Dave Stevens and Blair White.

Anyone seeking additional information about Saturday’s 50th anniversary observances is invited to email Beckwithfire@gmail.com or telephone the office at 613-257-1749. Submitted by Jeff Maguire on behalf of the Beckwith Fire Department.

GICs and Savings Accounts – the park and ‘no-pay’ options When financial markets become a little uncertain – some investors get nervous. Uncertainty and nervousness can cause some investors to flee equities and jump into fixed income investments that they feel will provide more certainty and protection from investment losses. But … there may be a price for playing it too safe financially, like the loss of buying power from ignoring opportunities to keep your investments growing. The GIC refugees Canadians have $500 billion in Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GICs)1. Safe, yes – but socalled ‘safe’ investments earn low income – and GICs are actually a ‘no-interest’ option, especially when you factor in taxes and inflation. So, by parking too much of your non-registered portfolio in locked, fixed income investments, you could lock yourself out of the opportunity for growth. Look at it this way: The real return on an average one-year GIC was actually negative every single year over the last decade while, during the same timeframe1., the 10-year return for Canadian equities on the S&P/TSX Index was 7.97%.

Manage Your Money The savings account sideliners In fluctuating markets, some investors choose to sit on the savings account sidelines – which at least partially contributes to the fact that there is currently $670 billion sitting dormant in Canadian savings accounts, roughly $200 billion more than average1.. By sitting it out on the financial sidelines, these investors missed out when the market began its steady climb while those who stayed invested capitalized on the upside of the market and reduced the impact of short-term volatility. The market moves fast and often with no warning. Strong gains can easily be missed by sitting on the sidelines. Buying power erosion Often, the price of playsafe investment options can be the erosion of your money over time due to inflation. On the other hand, by choosing the right investments and sticking with your investment plan, you will be positioned to capitalize on growth opportunities as

they arise. Including equities in your portfolio can be the best way to protect your purchasing power and grow your wealth over time. But always remember, it’s a range of asset classed (yes, even fixed income investments) working together that is the vital key to increasing future income, offsetting rising costs, and reaching all your financial goals. Yo u r p r o f e s s i o n a l advisor can help you get your investments out of ‘park’ and into ‘drive.

‘The Railway Children’ musical pulls into Station Theatre Aug. 14 Arts – More than 100 years ago – long before J.K. Rowling invented Harry Potter – Edith Nesbit published ‘The Railway Children,’ a book that has enjoyed an enduring place in British children’s literature. The text has been adapted for TV many times; it’s been made into a movie. And now it comes to the stage of the Station Theatre in Smiths Falls as a musical. With book, lyrics and music by Paul Bexon, this modern adaptation loses nothing of the original spirit of humour, tension, adventure and the final triumph of good over evil. The songs are delightfully poignant, uplifting and even haunting. Set in Yorkshire in 1905, Bexon’s

play tells the story of a mother and three children fallen on hard times when Father leaves home in mysterious circumstances. Going from prosperity to poverty, the two young girls and a boy have to make tough lifestyle changes, but they are helped along by their fascination with the “railroad dragons,” as they call them, the trains that come and go through the tiny village. They delight in watching them, hoping that somehow they can take their love to their absent father. Director Lynda Daniluk, whose most recent successes include the swashbuckling play ‘The Three Musketeers’ and the musicals ‘Snow White’ and ‘Pollyanna,’ has assembled a strong cast for a

play in which younger and older actors share the principal roles. It’s a wonderful play, suitable for the whole family. Mother is played by Joni Thornley, who appeared as Mrs. Snow in last year’s production of ‘Pollyanna,’ and as a Guest at the Ball in ‘The Three Musketeers’ this spring. She has also served as voice coach for ‘The Heiress,’ and ‘Snow White.’ Peter – the son whose 12th birthday begins magically with the gift of a wonderful train set and ends with a disturbing ring at the door – is played by 10-year-old Samuel Lenser. A grade 6 student at Kars on the Rideau Public School, he has performed in the school’s arts programmes and many assemblies,

in a musical theatre showcase, and as The Grinch in ‘The Grinch that Stole Christmas.’ Samuel dances with Pique Dance International and Step by Step. (He’s also crazy about Minecraft and Pokemon.) The roles of Peter’s sisters – Roberta and Phyllis – are shared: Paris Healey and Valerie Brown play Roberta; Grace Armstrong and Maya Forbes play Phyllis. All these young actors already have impressive stage experience: between them they’ve been in ‘Pollyanna,’ ‘Snow White’ and ‘Camelot.’ Grace is involved in the Perth Academy of Musical Theatre – Academy Idol workshop this summer. Rounding out the other key roles are five adult actors: Brant Daniluk who plays Mr. Perks, the station porter befriended by the children; Josh Rutherford who plays the local doctor; Hugh McCullough playing a displaced Russian; and Steve McWade, playing a passenger in the train station, an Old Gentleman,

whom the children enlist to help them overcome some of their biggest challenges. Finally, there is the role of the wayward father, Mr. Waterbury, played by Richard Croteau. The Smiths Falls Community Theatre invites the public to take a trip down the tracks of the past on Aug. 14, 15, 16, 22, 23 at 7:30 p.m. and on Aug. 17 and 24 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 for adults and for students (with ID) $10, with special group rates also available.

The final plan will be presented in September for adoption by counties council. Counties assets are roads, bridges and culverts, social housing, fleets for ambulance service and the roads department, buildings and facilities as well as equipment. The preliminary report shows an asset/infrastructure deficit exists for roads, bridges and social housing and senior-level government infrastructure funding is needed.

News – The following are highlights of the regular United Counties of Leeds and Grenville council meeting held July 24 in Brockville. Counties council is supporting a request to change the way Canadians are appointed to the Thousand Islands Bridge Authority’s board of directors, a body which oversees the local Thousand Islands International Bridge. The counties council resolution is in response to a letter received from the Honourable Robert (Bob) Runciman, Senator for Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes. Senator Runciman believes it will greatly benefit this region and the local economy to have at least one local Leeds Grenville representative on the board. The US authority currently appoints three Canadians to its seven-person board. They are selected through the national Federal Bridge Authority and are not local residents. In contrast, the US Authority appoints prominent Jefferson County residents who live close to the bridge and, in some cases, are involved in the tourism industry. The Thousand Islands Bridge Authority maintains the bridge system (there are a series of bridges) connecting upper New York State to Ivy Lea, Ontario, which is a shared enterprise between the two countries. The resolution will be sent to the president and chief executive officer of the Federal Bridge Authority, Micheline

Letter to the Editor

MPP writes to Ombudsman seeking accountability from Hydro One DEAR EDITOR: The following is a letter dated July 25 by Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox & Addington MPP Randy Hillier to Andre Marin, Ontario Ombudsman, seeking accountability and transparency from Hydro One Networks. I am writing to follow up on our recent conversation regarding excessively high usage charges by many of the Hydro One customers in my riding. I am confident, based on what I see and hear from my constituents that, when extrapolated across the Hydro One service area we are talking about a significant number of people experiencing and unwarranted usage claims. It would appear that these usage problems began with the introduc-

tion of time-of-use (TOU) billing. I would further point out that my own office in Perth saw its usage double when the time-of-use meter here was activated for TOU billing. To be clear, I am not talking about the dollar value of the bill, I am talking about the stated or ‘actual’ KWH/per day usage. Hydro One’s current answer to such complaints is to recommend the customer get an electrician to test the meter, or have Measurement Canada come out and check the meter. The problem is that at best, both these options can only test the mechanics of the device and are cost See LETTER page 9

Commentary Food banks needs are year-round Editorial – Most food banks hold their annual food drives and campaigns around the Christmas holidays, but donations are needed all year. It never stops. Those campaigns stock the shelves for the cooler months, but in the dead of summer, the food dries up. Many local food banks, including Carleton Place’s Lanark County Food Bank, are finding it a struggle to secure donations in the summer months. It’s time to change people’s thinking because the need for food banks isn’t about to go away anytime soon. According to Food Banks Canada’s 2013 Hunger Report, 833,098 used food banks across the country last year and food bank use is higher than it was before the recession started five years ago. The cost of food has increased right along with utilities such as hydro and heating, so this isn’t surprising. And when you’re seeing a big boom in clients, the food needed also increases. Food Banks Canada stated that 38 per cent of food banks have cut back on the amount of food they give to households in order to ration it and make it last longer for all the families they serve. And eight per cent are turned away or referred to another organization because of the lack of food. That’s not to say that people aren’t giving. The tri-county area is a very generous community, as evidenced by support for annual Salvation Army campaigns, as well as Town and Country Chrysler’s Build a Mountain of Food initiative. However, perhaps those donations need to be spread out over the full year to better serve food banks? The need for food banks isn’t about to go away anytime soon, but changing our way of thinking about them can help.

grain would be thrashed by the same farmers who were right there in our barn yard. When the break came for their dinner, they wandered over to the kitchen door. Two long benches had been put outside and basins of water with bars of homemade soap were beside them. Huck towels were folded and would soon be as black as a boot. The men dropped their straw hats on the ground, splashed their faces, rubbed on the soap, didn’t bother to rinse anything off, and swiped at the dripping water with the towels. They headed into the kitchen and sat at the kitchen table, spilling over onto two planks that had been put on top of two sawhorses and covered with white flour bag sheets. It would serve as a second table.

Oval, but it soon warmed up with all the bodies inside. Some took red dotted handkerchiefs out of their overalls and wiped their sweating faces. It took Mother, Aunty and my sister Audrey all their time to keep the bowls of potatoes, beans, and turnips refilled. The big platters of roast beef vanished as if someone had cleaned them off with a dishcloth! Pies had already been cut, and were stacked on the bake table. There was no such thing as a clean plate for their pie... it was simply chucked off the pie plate and right onto the plate that had just held their dinner. Almost everyone had a second piece, and even the last slice of bread had vanished. I listened to the talk around the two tables. It was all about the weather holding off, and what a stroke of luck See MARY page 9 • Advertising rates and terms and conditions are according to the rate card in effect at time advertising published. • The advertiser agrees that the publisher shall not be liable for damages arising out of errors in advertisements beyond the amount charged for the space actually occupied by that portion of the advertisement in which the error occurred, whether such error is due to negligence of its servants or otherwise... and there shall be no liability for non-insertion of any advertisement beyond the amount charged for such advertisement. • The advertiser agrees that the copyright of all advertisements prepared by the Publisher be vested in the Publisher and that those advertisements cannot be reproduced without the permission of the Publisher. • The Publisher reserves the right to edit, revise or reject any advertisement.

prohibitive; Measurement Canada can only determine whether or not the device recording usage within the parameters allowed by law, the electrician can only determine if it is wired in accordance with the Electrical Standards code and measure for momentary usage. Neither an electrician nor a Measurement Canada technician can verify if the device is transmitting the correct data back to billing, if the software recording the usage is functioning properly, or if data is being corrupted in transmission. The number of cases I have observed where usage is simply without justification is of significant concern. I have seen very tiny dwellings with no electric heat receive usage bills that, in jurisdictions like BC, would automatically trigger a police investigation under suspicion they were operating a marijuana grow-op. Mr. Marin, this is a serious problem warranting either further investigation concurrent to your ongoing look into Hydro One billing practices, or a new and separate investigation. I thank you for your time, and look forward to hearing from you.

that was. And how it was a blessing that everyone had good crops that year. And they talked about who would be the next to host the thrashing gang. The whole meal was over in jig time, and then they went back to the job at hand. Father said they would stay until all the grain had been thrashed, so that the thrashing machine would not have to make a second trip to our farm. And late in the afternoon, I heard the last of the big machine wind down. One by one the neighbours left, driving their wagons, or buggies, and the more prosperous of the lot, riding off in the cars. By that time, Mother, Aunty and Audrey would have the kitchen back in order. The planks that served as a second table were out-

side propped against the wall. The washbasins emptied, and the pile of huck towels piled in a corner of the summer kitchen waiting for the weekly wash. Emerson, Everett and Earl were sent to the backfield to bring in the cows for the nightly milking, and gradually, our farm turned back to normal. Thrashing for that year was over. Once again, it was neighbour helping neighbour. The Depression had nothing to do with it. Even if there was wealth all around us, everyone would still need the hand of a neighbour to survive.

Beauty of Ireland region stands in contrast to ‘Troubles’ Lifestyle – No trip to Ireland is complete without a visit to the north. We enjoyed our short stay in Northern Ireland in late June but left discouraged by what we saw and heard in Belfast. Although still divided politically from the remainder of the country, Northern

Ireland boasts some spectacular scenery. In addition Belfast boosters have turned the story of the ill-fated ocean liner Titanic in the city’s favour. Twoyear-old ‘Titanic Belfast’ has quickly become a huge tourist attraction in the capital of what remains a province of

the United Kingdom. On Day 2 of a three-day visit the four of us hired a van, complete with driver/guide, for a tour of the spectacular Antrim Coast. It was a very good decision! The previous day’s rain and fog lingered into the morning. But by mid-

day a refreshing breeze off an unusually calm Atlantic Ocean cleared the mist. We had good conditions for our stops at world famous Giant’s Causeway (an absolute must if you visit the north), Carrick-a-rede rope bridge (Frank was the only one brave enough to walk across it) and Dunluce Castle. The views from the northern coast are nothing short of breathtaking. Our driver Stevie took us to places where no tour bus operator would dare venture. He also stopped whenever and wherever we asked which enhanced our photo opportunities. Kathleen was thrilled to visit two locations for her favourite TV series ‘Game of Thrones’ which is partly filmed in Northern Ireland. It was a memorable day, including a tour of Old Bushmill’s Distillery, in the pretty village of the same name. Bushmill’s (circa 1608) claims to be the oldest licenced distillery in the world. We sampled some of their product which is distilled using water from the River Bush. The river flows over the same basalt rock from which the nearby Giant’s Causeway was formed. Kathy and Wendy weren’t keen on the “Northern Ireland nectar.” All the more for Frank and me! No worries, we weren’t driving. On the other hand Belfast, our headquarters for the visit, was somewhat sobering! That had nothing to do with a cemetery excursion we made. For the first time I was able to visit the graves of my great-grandmother, my great-greatgrandmother and a great uncle and aunt in Belfast City Cemetery. My late maternal grandfather, Archibald ‘Art’ Watson, was born in Belfast. Kathleen and I missed the opportunity in 2006 because our family had not yet pinpointed the family plot. This time I was able to lay flowers on the grave which was an emotional experience, but very worthwhile. The down side of our Belfast tour was the still simmering “Troubles” and the frequent lawlessness we heard about during our stay in the city. This was Frank and Wendy’s first time in Ireland and the Belfast visit was a real eye-opener. Parade season When planning our vacation I deliberately avoided the so-called “Marching Season” which begins with the annual Orange Parade on July 12 and continues with a number of processions this month. The Orange Parade, which is so peaceful in Canada, continues to be a thorn in the side of those working to keep the peace between Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland. I didn’t

hear of any serious problems in Belfast or other major centres in the north during this year’s parade. But last July four nights of rioting erupted in Belfast when the authorities banned Protestants from marching past a Catholic area. Protestors threw Molotov cocktails and blast bombs (some of which were packed with nails) at police who responded with volleys of plastic bullets and water cannon sorties. During the melees more than 50 police officers were injured, along with a number of rioters. The parade, which continues to be observed by the Grand Orange Lodge in Canada (there was a parade in Carleton Place where we live last month) marks the victory by Protestant King William’s army over a force led by Catholic King James II at the Battle of the Boyne. The fighting took place in early July 1690 along the banks of the River Boyne in what is now the Republic of Ireland. The river passes through the nearby city of Drogheda, on Ireland’s east coast. Our train crossed the River Boyne and stopped at Drogheda station during our rail journey from Dublin to Belfast in June. In Canada the Orange Lodge came into existence in 1812. It once played a major role in the political and social life of this country. It is now generally considered to be a fraternal organization dedicated to various (peaceful) works in the communities where lodges are located. The past history of divisiveness over religion, while still a reality with some people, has largely been put aside. I don’t hear or read of any flare-ups in Scotland, Australia, New Zealand, the United States or other countries where the Orange Lodge continues to operate. That is not the case in Northern Ireland where the Orange Order was founded in 1795. We learned more than we wanted to about the current situation in Ulster (the official name of the British province) during our visit to Belfast. When Kathy and I first visited Northern Ireland in 2006 it wasn’t very long after tourists slowly began to return there. Tours of Belfast and Northern Ireland were on hold for many years, until what are euphemistically called “The Troubles” finally began to subside. It was hard to convince travellers they would be safe when bombings and shootings were occurring regularly. The first coach tours, early in the new millennium, attracted few customers. As tensions eased and incidents decreased, numbers rose steadily. Today Belfast and other former trouble spots, such as Londonderry (Derry to the local population) and Portadown are back on the tourist map. Still, long standing problems involving Protestants and Catholics continue to simmer in Belfast and other communities and occasionally, as they did last July, things boil over. We tempted the fates somewhat by staying in what was once dubbed “the most bombed hotel in the world” the famous Europa in Central Belfast. See COLUMN page 22

Bat proofing your home Bat proofing your house is necessary when the bats are entering the living space of your home. It is advisable to contact a pest management company or a wildlife conservation agency for assistance with bat-proofing your home. Rabies can also affect pets; to protect your pet from rabies it is important

to vaccinate them. Rabies vaccination is mandatory in Ontario for domestic cats and dogs. The health unit, in partnership with local veterinarians and municipalities, will be holding the annual rabies clinics on Sept. 10 and 17.

Turbulent waters In retrospect I think we were given a rather sanitized version in 2006. We weren’t allowed off the coach in the contentious areas and our guide seemed to smooth the turbulent waters by using a lot of generalizations during his commentary. This year we had a very different look at life in Belfast! Although the situation in Northern Ireland is much calmer these days, the underlying issues remain. I’m not trying to discourage anyone from going to Northern Ireland. In fact tourists are welcome there and a whole industry has sprung up around the troubles. Visitors are encouraged to go to the places involved, take photographs of the many murals related to those difficult years and to ask questions about the religious-based conflict. All for a price of course! We arrived in Belfast just as Queen Elizabeth II was concluding a three-day stay in Northern Ireland. She was clearly quite welcome too and, considering the history of the Monarchy and the north, that is encouraging. What upset us was what we heard while speaking to local people. Our contacts included taxi drivers (some of the most knowledgeable people in any city) and other ordinary folks we encountered during our stay. We were shocked to hear

closing the door of the room. Open a window or door to the outside and then turn out the lights; the bat should fly out early in the evening. Be sure to wear gloves and other protective clothing at all times when dealing with a bat. If you are bitten by a bat or if saliva from a bat gets into your eyes, nose, mouth or a wound, wash the affected area thoroughly and get medical attention immediately. Should you find a bat in your home and a bite is difficult/

Many bats will roost and hibernate in attics. Although bats are beneficial, they can carry diseases such as rabies and histoplasmosis, which can affect humans and animals. They may also transmit distemper and mange to household pets. Approximately three percent of bats carry the rabies

Bats typically have their babies in June and come August many of the young bats are looking for their own roosting sites.

The Country Wife at Full Circle Theatre: Comedy, costumes and colour Date: March 19, 2014

Arts – Perth’s BarnDoor Productions closes off their 19th season this weekend with the final four performances of their summer classic for 2014, William Wycherly’s The Country Wife. The show is a one-hour and forty-minute comic treat, full of period costumes, lightning-fast dialogue and plenty of real laughs, even 340 years after it was written. It’s the story of a notorious ladies’ man who

hatches a clever plot to gain access to the young wives of his older married acquaintances. It was such a shocking show in 1670 that it was eventually banned from production for more than two hundred years! Nowadays, of course, it doesn’t seem nearly as racy, but BarnDoor Productions’ new staging show that it still has plenty of fun and funny lines in it. The first week of the show at the end of July

drew the best opening week audiences of the season for BarnDoor Productions, their nineteenth season, having brought exceptional community theatre to Perth and Lanark County since 1995. The Country Wife is the ninety-fifth production from the community theatre, and it keeps up their long tradition of exciting, surprising, high-energy theatre.

News – More than 100 protesters came out to the Mississippi Mills municipal office July 29 to express their outrage over the proposed Enerdu re-development in Almonte. A motion was approved at that evening’s Committee of the Whole meeting on July 29 to draft a bylaw that may affect any construction in the downtown core for up to one year, which would delay the Enerdu project.

cluding lamb, vegetable, beef and gluten-free,” says Marie White, Lanark County tourism manager. “It is ‘stew good to miss,’ so be sure to purchase your tickets for the supper at the festival.” The supper follows the festival on the same site from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Some of the participants are growing the ingredients and others are sourcing local ingredients. Warden Richard Kidd (Beckwith Reeve) says the festival is proving to be an excellent way to bring together all of the communities in Lanark County. “All of our municipalities have something to offer, whether it is food grown on a family farm, products made using lo-

cal ingredients or local knowledge and talent,” he says. “The harvest festival is a great way to bring all of these elements together and celebrate them with visitors and citizens alike. Beckwith Township is pleased to be the host site for the festival again this year.” The program includes food seminars featuring “The Mushroom Man” of Lanark County, Scott Perrie of Valley Wild Edibles, who will present information about foraging for local mushrooms, berries, nuts and wild leeks. Other food-related workshops will include topics on garlic, herbal remedies and tinctures, beekeeping, apples, maple syrup etc. The renowned Bowes Brothers

are a highlight of the musical entertainment, and there will be children’s activities, such as a petting zoo, bouncy castle, face painting, and much more. “This is a destination for people who want to connect with local producers and learn about the foods available here and how to prepare them,” White explains. “There are so many benefits of local food, and the Harvest Festival showcases these while celebrating and showing appreciation for the passion of our community’s agricultural families. Join us for food, drink and fun!” The festival gives local producers a chance to reach out to new custom-

ers and promote the importance of developing sustainable, self-reliant communities through small, food-based operations. It is a collaboration of local farmers’ markets and groups that partner to bring local food to the table, including Lanark Local Flavour, the Lanark County Agricultural Advisory Committee, the Township of Beckwith and Lanark County. The celebration of local food is an annual event that supports more than 55 local businesses and six farmers’ markets, as well as developing a new economic development network for the county through partnership with the Ontario Tourism Culinary Alliance.

Just small kids who like to pull my tail or scare me with unexpected moves are not yet preferred. I would love to be somebody’s buddy who is patient and quiet with me. I may even come and take a nap on your lap! How’s that for trusting large creatures again. Please meet me I am really handsome, too. Trudy

Trudy is a lovely three-year-old calico cat with medium long hair. She and her four kittens were abandoned in front of the shelter in May.

Lifestyle – We would like to thank everyone that visited our booth at the BIA Bridge Street Bazaar in Carleton Place this past Saturday, Aug. 2. We raised quite a bit of money for the shelter with our barbecue and it was nice to meet supporters and hear some stories from people that have adopted. We would also like to thank the following businesses in our community for donating the product and supplies we needed to run the barbecue: Giant Tiger of Smiths Falls and Carleton Place, Steve’s Your Independent Grocer of Carleton Place and Dollar Tree of Carleton Place. With their support we were able to cut down our expenses drastically, which means more money went directly to the shelter and the animals. This week we’d like to feature one cat, Zazu, who has been at LAWS for far too long and two cats all polydactyl. That means they come with extra toes! Further, LAWS continues to offer two kittens for the price of 1 ½ times the adoption fee. Several local Pet Valu and other pet stores have kittens available from LAWS. All of those have been spayed or neutered.

Mystery, crime writers to read at Classic Theatre Festival Arts – In an exciting new partnership with the Capital Crime Writers of Ottawa, the Classic Theatre Festival, in conjunction with its mystery thriller Dial M for Murder (running Aug. 8 to 31) is hosting a series of pre-show readings with some of Canada’s top crime and mystery writers. The Saturday Night Specials, taking place over three consecutive weekends at 7 p.m. (before the 8 p.m. performance of Dial M for Murder) will feature a pair of authors reading from their works, an opportunity to ask questions, purchase books, and get them signed, all under the pre-show tent at the Classic Theatre Festival’s venue at 54 Beckwith Street East. Entrance to the readings is free for festival ticketholders and $10 for nonticket holders. “Mystery on the stage, crime writers, and a warm summer evening,” says Michael Murphy of Capital Crime Writers, makes for “a Saturday Night Special to die for.” The Ottawa-based group has been in existence since 1988, when it was founded by Linda Wiken and Audrey Jessup. Barbara Fradkin and Vicki Delany The premiere Saturday Night Special on Aug. 16 will be hosted by Barbara Fradkin and Vicki Delany. Fradkin is a retired psychologist and two-time winner of the Arthur Ellis Best Novel Award. The prolific author has published numerous short stories and

Some of the country’s top crimes and mystery writers descend on Perth for the Saturday Night Specials, a series of author readings that precede the evening performances of the Classic Theatre Festival’s production of Dial M for Murder on Aug. 16, 23, and 30 at 7 p.m. Readers will include, above from left: Barbara Fradkin, Vicki Delany, R.J. Harlick, Linda Wiken, Brenda Chapman and Thomas Curran. For tickets call 1-877283-1283. eleven mysteries (two Cedric O’Toole novellas and nine in the gritty, awardwinning novel series featuring quixotic Ottawa Police Inspector Michael Green). Two new books are in production, including the tenth Inspector Green novel, None so Blind, due out in October. Fradkin’s co-host, Vicky Delany, is one of Canada’s most prolific and varied crime writers. Under Cold Stone is the seventh book in the Smith & Winters police series. She also writes the lighthearted Klondike Gold Rush books and novels of gothic suspense. Having taken early retirement from her job as a systems analyst, Vicki enjoys the rural life in bucolic, Prince Edward County, Ontario. According to the London Free Press, “It’s a crime not

to read Delany.” R.J. Harlick and Linda Wiken On Aug. 23, the reading series continues with R.J. Harlick and Linda Wiken. Harlick writes the popular wildernessbased Meg Harris mystery series set in the wilds of Quebec, which so far has six titles to its name. The fourth Arctic Blue Death was a finalist for the 2010 Arthur Ellis Award for Best Novel. The latest, Silver Totem of Shame, has been named one of the top ten summer crime fiction reads by the Globe and Mail. Wiken is a former mystery bookstore owner in Ottawa. Writing as Erika Chase, she has penned four books in the Ashton Corners Book Club Mysteries and is working on the fifth. Book Fair and Foul came out earlier this month. She is also

working on the Culinary Capers Mysteries, which will debut next year under her own name. She also maintains a blogsite, Mystery Maven Canada, with news, schmooze and reviews about Canadian mystery writers. Brenda Chapman and Thomas Curran The closing set of readings on Aug. 30 will feature Brenda Chapman and Thomas Curran. Chapman began her writing career with the Jennifer Bannon mysteries for young adults. Hiding in Hawk’s Creek, the second in the series, was shortlisted by the Canadian Library Association for the 2006 children’s book of the year. Her first adult mystery In Winter’s Grip was released by Dundurn in 2010. Brenda

currently has two series on the go: Cold Mourning is the first in the Stonechild and Rouleau police procedural (Dundurn 2014) and Butterly Kills will be released in 2015. The Anna Sweet mysteries from Grass Roots Press are novellas set in Ottawa. My Sister’s Keeper, the first in this series, was shortlisted for a 2014 Arthur Ellis award. Curran is well-known for his three Inspector Stride novels, set in the postwar, pre-Confederation Newfoundland of the late 1940s. Before writing mysteries, Curran spent more than two decades as a Senior Researcher and Writer at the Library of Parliament in Ottawa. A Newfoundlander at heart, the Ottawa writer spends as much time down east as he can manage, both for personal renewal and research purposes. “We love partnering with such fine talent, because the root of good theatre is good writing: without that, there is not a lot for actors to play and for directors to interpret,” says the festival’s artistic producer, Laurel Smith. Admission to the readings is connected to purchasing a ticket to the festival’s evening performance, and priority seating will be provided to festivalgoers. Those who would like to attend the readings only can pay a $10 cash admission at the door. To purchase tickets to the evening reading and performance, call 1-877283-1283 or visit www.classictheatre.ca.

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue

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

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23

Finances are on your mind this week, Aries. You could be driven now more than ever to get your ducks in a row. Expect such tasks to be a bit stressful but ultimately worth it.

Libra, you are no stranger to meeting other people’s demands, but you need to be very firm about what you want right now. Work with others but make your opinions known as well.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

Taurus, avoid being sidetracked by some familiar obstacles. Even with the best intentions you can get pushed off target. Pay attention and stick with it.

Scorpio, your intensity helps you get through some difficult projects in the weeks ahead. Be sure to make some time for rest and relaxation once your projects are finished.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

Gemini, it may be tempting to set aside responsibilities in favor of more exciting experiences. But the real opportunities for adventure come from making commitments and goals.

Sagittarius, there is a lot more going on in your life now than meets the eye. Moves that you make could be crucial to your success, so do your best to make sure you make the right choices.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

Cancer, you may finally be ready to express feelings that you have been keeping to yourself. If you are worried about how others will respond, don’t be. You have accepting friends.

Capricorn, expect some initial dissent when you propose an unorthodox solution to a problem. Don’t worry much, as others will come around when the plan starts to work.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

Leo, do not deny yourself some pleasure, especially if you have been putting in a lot of work and effort to attain your goals. Enjoy a little down time when you can.

Do not allow your emotions to get the better of you this week, Aquarius. Steer clear of confusing issues and do not delve too deeply into things you don’t understand.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Virgo, you cherish your time with friends and family this week, spending as many free moments with them as possible. In the coming days, carve out some alone time for yourself.

Pisces, expect to be acknowledged for some special contributions this week. Stand up and take your bow with grace and appreciation.

Dean John Orcheston Dean

February 21, 1928 to July 28, 2014 We are very sad to announce the loss of a muchloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, John Orcheston Dean, on July 28, 2014, at the age of 86. John was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, went to London, England, as a young man, and met his wife Ankaret on the boat to Canada. They were married almost 60 years, and made their homes, and many friends, in Oakville and McDonalds Corners, Ontario. John was a natural athlete, playing rugby in South Africa (for the Johannesburg Wanderers), tennis in Oakville (where he was tennis director and then president of the Oakville Club) and golf everywhere. His happiest moments were on his sailboat and at High Valley Farm in McDonalds Corners. Educated at Hilton College, South Africa, John qualified as a chartered accountant and worked at Cooper Brothers in London and McDonald Currie in Toronto, before joining Ontario Hydro in 1957. He was assistant treasurer on retiring in 1973, and continued to work in the energy field for many years. He leaves his wife Ankaret, children Joanna (David Wilson), Pippa (Keith Veerman), Louise and Anthony (Ann Anderson), grandchildren Jonathon Moody, Jasmine Georget, Amanda Wilson, Matthew Pedley, Adam Moody, Lucas Wilson, Simon Moody, Basil Veerman, Marlow Wilson, Blake Veerman, Sarah Dean and John Dean, and great-grandchildren, Ankaret, Kaitlin, Russell and Oliver. He was predeceased by his sister, Barbara Hicks, and his parents Jessie and Stanley Dean. We will miss his kindness, sense of humour, independent spirit and fierce love. A celebration of his life will be held at the MERA Schoolhouse in McDonald’s Corners at 3 pm on August 16. In lieu of flowers, donations in John’s memory can be made to Lanark Animal Welfare Society (lanarkanimals.ca or 613 283 9308).

IN MEMORIAM

IN MEMORIAM

A million times I’ve thought of you, A million times I’ve cried, If my love could have saved you, Gerald, You never would have died.

HOVER, “Bun” – In loving memory of a dear husband, father, brother, grandfather “Poppa” and great grandfather who passed away August 10, 2004. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone. Young or old alike. And today may be the last chance, You get to hold your loved one tight. So if you’re waiting for tomorrow, Why not do it today, For if tomorrow never comes, You’ll surely regret the day. So hold your loved ones close today, And whisper in their ear, Tell them how much you love them, And you’ll always hold them dear. Take time to say “I’m sorry”, “Please forgive me”, “Thank you”, or “It’s OK” And if tomorrow never comes, You’ll have no regrets about today. Love always, Katherine and family

They say that time will heal the wound, And teach us to forget, But time so far has only shown, How much I miss you yet. Your memory is my keepsake, With which I’ll never part.

Until we meet again your loving wife, Betty.

JACKSON, Marion – In loving memory of my dear mother who passed away August 10th 2013. Peacefully sleeping, Resting at last, Her weary trials and troubles are past, In silence she suffered, In patience she bore, Till God called her home to suffer no more Never forgotten and always in our hearts, We love you Mom. Greg, Nancy and family

It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home.

You left us precious memories, Your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, You are always by our side.

MORPHY, Leone – In loving memory of our dear mother, grandmother, great grandmother, nanny, sister and aunt who passed away August 7, 2008. God called your name so quietly, That only you could hear, No one heard the footsteps of Angels drawing near. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, You are always at our side. Sadly missed and lovingly remembered by all your family

BOLGER, Howard 1922-2009 In loving memory of a dear husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather who passed away August 6, 2009. God looked around his garden And found an empty place, He then looked down upon the earth And saw your tired face. He put His arms around you And lifted you to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering He knew you were in pain. He knew that you would never Get well on earth again, He saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb. So He closed you weary eyelids And whispered, “Peace be thine”. It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you The day God called you home. If tears cold build a stairway And memories a lane We’d walk right up to heaven And bring you home again. We will cherish our memories of you forever. Love you wife Valma and family

Puppets Up! International Puppet Festival takes place this weekend in Almonte. Above, Mill Street during last year’s event. Take this year’s stellar line-up for example. Looking for something that is creative, innovative and entertaining, too? Check out Argentinian-born Veronica Gonzales, who represents Italy at this year’s festival. Like most people, Gonzalez has two feet but her feet are special: they can amazingly transform into characters of their own. Her various ‘body’ puppets perform to the rhythm of music and are full of poetry and humour. The festival’s world stage also includes Switzerland’s Figuren Theatre/Margrit Gysin’s production of ‘Daddy Bear Come Play with Me.’ Gysin is a trained puppet therapist from the Swiss Institute for Therapeutic Puppet Theatre whose story-telling skills have won her accolades from around the world. “The puppet theatre is, for me, the personification of art, fairy tales and stories that are full of images that touch me emotionally and mentally, that promote vitality and creativity on its own,” notes Gysin. “I write pieces about topics that interest me: otherness, solidarity, human dignity. It excites me to let stories develop from unspectacular little things.” Figuren Theatre’s show is aimed at children of all ages. One of the founding members of the Jim Henson Improv group, Puppet Up, (later renamed

Stuffed and Unstrung) will also perform at this year’s 10th anniversary festival. Experience the incredibly wacky and wonderfully imaginative world of three-time Emmy-nominated Leslie Carrara-Rudolph (Sesame Street’s Abby Cadabby) and her puppet pal Lolly Lardpop, in ‘Leslie and Lolly Make Stuff Up.’ “If I could wrap up a living gift for the children of this world, it would be this show, this way of navigating life creatively,” admits Carrara-Rudolph. “My mission is to help the young and young at heart discover their true joy and celebrate their individuality through the arts.” Carrara-Rudolph and Lolly are sure to bring smiles to your face and laughter bursting from your lips! This year’s all-star line-up also includes well-known entertainers from across North America, including perennial favourites, Frogtown Mountain Puppeteers, who have staged a production at each and every festival since 2005, and who will be presenting the show that they performed at the very first Puppets Up! – ‘Everybody Loves Pirates!’ Frogtown is comprised of three siblings, Erik and Brian Torbeck and Robin (Torbeck) Erlander. “When we were kids we used to put on shows in our home, using stuffed animals and hand puppets,” says Robin. That’s part of the magic of puppets – it’s something we’ve all done at one point or another in our childhood – played with dolls, action figures or stuffed toys and brought them to life. Puppets Up! showcases the professional puppeteers who make their living doing this! You’ll also want to check out Peterborough native, master ventriloquist and puppet tamer Tim Holland as he convinces the audience of the dangers inherent in the taming of ferocious and uncooperative puppets. Or enjoy a local troupe from Orleans, the Rag and Bone’s beautiful production of ‘The Light Princess’. “Our style of puppetry is called open manipulation. The children have a chance to see “how everything works”, and the puppeteers have direct contact with the audience, combining puppetry with storytelling and acting,” says Kathy MacLelland, one third of the Rag and Bone troupe. As the festival gears up for its 10th anniversary, organizers are intent on making this year’s event a grand one. With performances from 11 different troupes using a variety of puppet techniques including hand puppets, marionettes, and body parts, visitors can enjoy a plethora of

performances sure to please everyone. As well, Ottawa mayor Jim Watson will be on hand as parade marshal on Saturday, Aug. 9, with Sochi Olympian and Almonte native, Perianne Jones taking over the marshal duties on Sunday, Aug. 10. The festival parade is an enduring favourite and has grown each year. All the puppet troupes that perform at the festival take part in the parade, as do all the entertainers, and the procession is augmented by classic cars carrying VIPs and numerous locals carrying their look-a-like puppets that Noreen Young created. Mayor Watson’s caricature puppet by Young will be a highlight of this year’s parade. While the festival touts its national and international artists, its magnum opus is promoting puppeteers and entertainers from the local scene. Since its inception in 2005, Puppets Up! has endorsed the works of numerous performers from throughout eastern Ontario and the Highlands. The festival has also been the starting ground for numerous puppeteers who have been mentored by Young over the years. This year is no exception and we welcome Canadian Comedy Award winner, Freddie Rivas, with his show, ‘When Pigs Fly…Into Alien Spaceships!’ His main character, Astronaut Pig Hadfield, has dedicated years of study and work in the field of Astr’Oink”onomy, and is apparently ready to answer one of life’s deepest questions, “When will pigs really fly?” Rivas goes where no one has gone before and takes us on a hilarious space adventure. Imagination and creativity are key elements of the Puppets Up! festival and components that visitors enjoy, year after year. “I enjoy the atmosphere in Almonte that is created for the festival, which is very much a big street party celebrating puppetry,” says Mike Artelle, an Ottawa puppeteer and long-time fan of Puppets Up! “There are many free events for visitor such as the wandering street performers, live music, the ‘Balcony Performers’, and a puppet display in virtually every storefront window.” With 12 troupes entertaining festival attendees this year, it’s hard to pick favourites. That’s why the festival’s ticketing works so efficiently. A wristband serves as your ticket to each of the shows. Each day every troupe performs two to three times throughout the day, allowing wristband holders the option of seeing all the performances. Day passes are $20 for adults and $10 for kids; weekend passes are $30 for adults and $15 for kids; kids under three are free.

Slithery electronic tether helps keep tabs on snake life at Murphys Point Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – You would expect a species at risk to know how to hide. That is why Brock Ogilvie has found himself in the middle of some rather unpleasant places trying to track down gray rat snakes – try tracking through mosquito-choked swamps in plus 30 degree weather, holding aloft an antenna that looks like one of the old ‘rabbit ear’ TV antennas of old in one hand, and an electronic box that he admits looks like “something out of an ’80s hospital.” It has earned him some unusual looks from campers and visitors to Murphys Point Provincial Park in Tay Valley Township, but it is actually all in the interest of science and conservation. As part of a two-year grant given to the Friends of Murphys Point Park, Ogilvie has been conducting radio telemetry on the slithery creatures this summer, compiling research on their movements, and, more specifically, identifying their habitat, as well as prime nesting, shedding, basting, egg-laying and wintering sites. The University of Guelph history student started work at the park on April 19, though this is his fourth

year working at the park. The Charleston Lake native explained that larger snakes were sought out to implant transmitters in to. The device itself is halfway in size between an AAA and AA battery, with a rather long antenna implanted within the snake itself. “We need those bigger snakes to carry the transmitter,” said Ogilvie on a recent trek out into the back woods with The Perth Courier reporter in tow, Aug. 1. “It will give us a lot of important information,” as well as “general knowledge of what a gray snake’s life is like.” The information is also important for the park’s development, so that any new buildings or services are not placed on top of, or near, prime real estate for snake life. “We want to try to avoid interfering, as much as possible, with the snakes’ lives,” he said. The criteria laid out states that the transmitter cannot take up more than five per cent of the snake’s body. The most recent snake was operated on Wednesday, July 30, and “all six snakes are doing Desmond Devoy / METROLAND well.” The snakes were first Brock Ogilvie holds a snake he found by the side of See SNAKES page P2

News – Celebrating Perth’s 200th anniversary is a full-time job. Recognizing this, the Ontario Trillium Foundation has given the green light to a joint proposal between the Town of Perth and the Perth Royal Canadian Legion’s Hall of Remembrance for a grant of $75,000 over 24 months to pay for a contract worker to marshal the town’s bicentennial celebrations in 2016, a rate of about $37,500 a year. The application was submitted back in February, and it was approved in July, and Shellee Evans, the town’s director of community services, said it could not have been done without the Hall of Remembrance. “That was how we were able to do it,” she said. Organizations who have already been approved for Trillium grants “cannot have more than one concurrent application at one time,” and the town’s splash pad at Conlon Farm received Trillium funding to the tune of $120,000. (The town received an earlier Trillium grant, also for $120,000, for the tennis courts.) Pairing up with the Hall seemed like “an obvious connection… (because) of the Perth military settlement.” Evans is currently working on a request for proposals which should be going to council by October. “We are very busy with what we want to do and with staff’s current workload, a second (hand) was a good idea,” she said. “It is 100 per cent funding. It is not the road, which he will transport back to the main matching (funding). We have to demonstrate our commitment to it.” office in a pillowcase.

Evans, as well as a representative from the Hall, and others, will form a selection committee looking at prospective candidates. Evans added that the successful candidate would have the option of working from home or space could be found at town hall for an office area. Chief amongst the responsibilities for the new employee, will be marketing the three major events on the bicentennial calendar, namely: • The Ontario Town Crier competition, to be held on the May long weekend in 2016. • The Perth Blast from the Past event in July 2016. • The Fire and Ice celebration of ice sculptures in the Tay Basin, February 2016. And, because 2016 will celebrate 200 years of town history, there will be 197 other events in Perth and the surrounding townships of Tay Valley and Drummond/North Elmsley and even Beckwith. Existing events, like the Kilt Run down to the Perth Citizens’ Band summer concert series and the strawberry social will be asked to carry the Perth 200th anniversary theme that year as well. “You don’t have a bicentennial every year,” said Evans. While Perth has good relations with its sister cities, like Osago, Japan, the area of Perth, Scotland will be sending more than just good wishes from across the ocean – they may be sending their pipe band to escort their provost, roughly the equivalent of Lanark County’s warden, on an anticipated July 2016 visit.

caught, then taken to the veterinarians where they were examined and given antibiotics. About 24 hours later they were operated on to insert the device, and then released 24 hours after that. The antennas were sterilized by the Ottawa Hospital, and the operations were performed by the Smiths Falls Veterinary Hospital, whom he said did the work for free. “They (the vets) came in on their days off to help us out,” he said. The batteries in the devices have a year-long life and are temperature dependant: the hotter the temperature of the snake, the more electronic beeps sent out (30 to 40 per minute), the cooler the temperature, the fewer beeps (between 23 and 27 per minute). So, if a snake is cooler, it is likely holed up under a rock or hiding in a tree. A warmer snake is more likely to be sunning itself on a rock, all of which aids Ogilvie in finding them. But while his equipment can pick up these pulses from up to a kilometre away, the terrain of the park does not always lend itself to easy transmissions. “It is very rocky here with lots of gullies,” he said. “If a snake is down in there, they can lose the signal from a distance. It is a game of cat-andmouse.” This particular morning, the cat-and-mouse game was very much in evidence. Looking for his first snake of the morning, Ogilvie stood amidst a grove of trees. He was getting a strong pulse from one tree in particular. “He’s definitely up there,” he said, not surprising since the snakes are very good climbers. Pointing his antenna skyward, he exclaimed, “He’s right above me. They are very good at hiding.” His sentiment turned out to be more than accurate. Taking a few steps forward, he stopped short and, looking down with a smile, said, “Oh, Jesus! He’s right here.” There, on the ground, hidden cleverly in the grass, was his first snake. He gently picked up the snake to examine him, and showed off its surgical scar – only to have the snake bite him on the hand and draw blood, which he shakes off as a hazard of the job. The snakes, while not poisonous, will bite if provoked. “Most of them, it is a quick jab,” he said, and even then, “only if you pick them up.” If you do find yourself bitten by a snake, do not try to pull it off of you. By doing that, “you risk getting their teeth caught in your skin,” which can be painful for both you and the snake. “Don’t pick them up unless you absolutely have to,” he said. “That’s my grand advice.” After putting the snake back down, and recording his coordinates, the snake slithered over Ogil-

vie’s antenna. Hoping that the snake would move on, he murmured to it, “I need that equipment buddy.” The snake and its friends, it turns out, are quite adept at technology, and not just radio equipment, but Twitter too. They even have their own Twitter account, @grayratsnake. You can even adopt a snake, for a $25 donation, though, naturally, you can’t bring him or her home. One snake was named Chip by his “owner” a little girl who adopted him. Another snake is named Steve, after the park’s maintenance foreman – in fact, this particular morning, Steve was coiled in the attic above the foreman’s desk in the maintenance shed (Steve the Snake, that is, not Steve the Foreman.) The tour then strikes out on to the Point Trail, off of the beaten path into rocky, muddy valleys, before leading up to a rocky ridge overlooking Big Rideau Lake on a picture-perfect summer day. Ogilvie makes his way down to the shoreline looking for a snake who, after literally beating the bushes, and taking measurements, determines that it is nestled under the rocks by the shoreline, enjoying the water view from the cool shade. Looking out over the water, Ogilvie recalls one snake who was a bit of a rolling stone, gathering no moss as he made fast tracks – or, rather, slither marks – across the bay area, even swimming three-quarters of a kilometre, clocking 1.5 km in the space of 48 hours at one point. It had been caught initially near one of the camp grounds and while it was last spotted on one of the larger islands in the lake – and getting a slow start of only 100 metres in it first day after being caught – the snake continues to amaze. “He’s definitely managed to travel more than five or six kilometers,” said Ogilvie with some obvious pride and amazement at the creature. “He is quite the little voyageur.” The snake moves even too fast for Ogilvie’s antenna, even when he is surveying the sound of beeps from his boat. Since these snakes tend to be creatures of habit, “we figure he will cross back to the park at some point,” said Ogilvie, looking straight at the island, as though calling the snake home. On the way back to the camp office, he suddenly swerves off to the side of the road. Earlier he had mentioned that it is hard to see snakes on the road, since they often look like road cracks. But his eye is so well trained by now that, even in the grass by the side of the road, he spies a very young snake. He gingerly pulls it up from the grass, and places it in a pillowcase – porous enough so the creature can still breathe, dark enough so as it feels at ease. Another snake to be catalogued, before being released back into the wild, a little dazed and confused, not knowing that its participation has actually helped its kind survive a little easier, free and in the wild.

Local firefighter helps battle flames to keep Yellowknife highway open Credits lessons learned at Murphys Point with helping him in northern bush Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – A Stanleyville native is amongst hundreds of firefighters trying to keep open the only highway into Yellowknife. On July 30, Johnny Harris, 24, a graduate of St. John Catholic High School in Perth, was entering day nine of a 19-day deployment up north, fighting a fire that had grown from 6,000 hectares to 10,000 hectares – in the space of just a day. The fire, as of that morning, was moving at a rate of about 18 metres per minute, or, 1,080 metres per hour. “It does get pretty intense,” he admitted during a telephone interview with The Perth Courier as he sat on the tarmac of the Yellowknife airport with about 40 other firefighters. He said that “it’s good to have a rest,” after several days of firefighting. The firefighters were grounded because of the high winds which were blowing heavy smoke around, making flying perilous. Later that day, an ‘apocalyptic’ cloud of black smoke descended on the area, turning the land of the midnight sun into near-pitch darkness. “This has not ever really been

seen in this part of the territory,” said Harris. Last week, the job of Harris and his fellow firefighters was to try and keep Highway 3, the only highway connecting the Northwest Territories’ capital with the rest of the world, as well as protecting the area’s hydro poles. “We would never get into a place where you are in danger,” he said. “You go in well-educated.” Every day, the firefighters are handed an incident action plan, detailing how far and fast the fire they are fighting is moving. Even at that, with all of the north’s many lakes, if all else fails, “worst case, I (would) just get to one of those (lakes) and jump in and wait for it to pass.” The firefighters are up against what Harris calls “beyond drought conditions,” a rank six out of six, meaning that the fire is characterized by “a lot of smoke, a lot of get up and go.” Not only are the wind conditions really bad, playing occasional havoc with the phone line from Yellowknife as he talks, but the dry conditions are also “a recipe for disaster… when you have this much dry fuel,” he said of the

tinder-dry grass and trees. “If I flicked a cigarette into the bush, it could easily start a fire.” Add to this the fact that the sun never really goes down, and the forest never really gets a chance to cool down. The sun may officially set in Yellowknife at 10:50 p.m., but “it’s always light here. The concept of it getting cool and dark is in there,” he said. During his first few days up north, he would wake up, look outside and believe it was early morning, only to look at his watch and realize, “Oh, no, it’s 1:30 in the morning.” In the past, Harris has fought prairie fires in Manitoba, but, he is enjoying his time in the north a little better, all things considered. In Manitoba, he would camp out near the fire line, where “the mosquitoes were crazy.” In NWT, however, there are proper facilities for firefighters, including a bed, so that “you wake up refreshed,” rather than going on “zero sleep,” in Manitoba, where “you are just exhausted. You can’t have a shower.” Along with his friend and crew See FIRE page P5

leader, Randy Wagler, he is part of what are called the “Twenty Sixers group,” and his first year, he drew the crew number 264 – the same number as the Perth telephone exchange. “I’m representing home,” he said. He even fought to get the same number this year. The Twenty Sixers even have a female member on board this year, one of only four or so in all of Manitoba, “which is cool.” Harris moved to the Perth area from Peterborough with his family in 1999, along with his sister Jessica. They both attended St. John Catholic Elementary School. After high school, he studied geography and geomatics at the University of Ottawa. Little knowing how well it would prepare him for his current summer job, he spent his high school and university summers working at Murphys Point Provincial Park in Tay Valley Township. But, “this is my last summer job outdoors,” he promised, though he later added, “I could totally see myself doing this,” as a job – though more directing the fire-

fighters back in the office. During a break in his studies one day, hanging out at a bar with his buddy, he heard about the firefighting program available as a summer job through the Manitoba conservation authority. “It was that simple,” he said. “I heard about this job in a bar.” This is his second summer with the program, and during the summer months, he is normally based in Gypsumville, Manitoba. The summer work is helping to pay for his studies at the College of Sports Media in Toronto. “Otherwise, I would be interning at The Sports Network,” he said. He explained he is enjoying his work, “as much as I want to cover sports and watch the Blue Jays.” But he is still getting exciting video to edit when he gets back home, sometimes wearing a Go Pro camera strapped to his helmet when he goes into action. He wants to “edit really cool video of the fires,” for his friends and classmates upon his return to Ontario. In fact, his time battling forest fires has helped him in his clean, air-conditioned downtown To-

Now, “it’s fun going to school,” with writing a commentary about the Blue Jays pitching or doing a round table on sports in front of a camera, with less than an hour of preparation time, paling in comparison. While this is the biggest fire he has ever had to fight, by far, it was not his scariest. For any firefighter, the first call is often the worst. “You could train for a long time… but your first time is go-

is black. It’s hard to go 100 per cent all the time. (Also) your feet are a wreck.” While the fire continued to track a path of destruction across the north last week, Harris did have a personal silver lining on his working trip, both getting to meet people from all over the country, as well as seeing “a part of Canada I had never seen before.” Harris’ phone call came during one of the few moments where he was able to get cell phone reception in the territories. When he does get a chance to call home he does, and the pull of a mother’s love knows no bounds, as he discovered one day last month. He was standing atop a ridge fighting a fire when he looked down during a break and noticed that he actually had a faint signal. He went for it and used the Face Time program to talk to his mother. He had worked up a sweat, as they day wore on, so he took off his T-shirt. As he showed his mother the devastation that Mother Nature had wrought, all Mother Harris could think of was her son: “Johnny, get a shirt on or you’ll get burned!”

ing to suck, until you get your fire legs,” he recalled. “After that, it gets easier and easier.” This summer, the fire situation was not too bad in Manitoba – mostly thanks to another natural disaster, extensive spring flooding. At one point, it appeared as though he and his crew were headed for British Columbia – but just as soon as they were about ready to leave for the Winnipeg airport, they got word that they were needed to fight the

fires raging in the Northwest Territories. He is not sure how much longer the NWT fires will last, as it is hard to tell if a fire is every really fully out. “It seemed like we were winding down, but then we had a few re-starts,” he said. “You want to go on to bigger and better fires, (but) you’ve got to stay on the line and keep putting water on the ash.” While he rested amongst chatting young men awaiting their next round of orders, to be dispatched by helicopter to other parts of the territory, he witnessed seven fire bombers fly off into the smoke-choked skies of Yellowknife on another mission. “Every day the water bombers are hitting it,” he said, sounding like a soldier on the front lines. While the flames consuming trees in a matter of seconds, climbing high into the sky may seem scary on television – and they are indeed dangerous – Harris is mindful that “it is not the flames that are the scary thing. It’s the smoke. It’s hard to breathe sometimes. You’re dirty all the time. You blow your nose and it

Perth Citizens Band marks start of Great War with concert on Aug. 7 desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Entertainment – A locally-composed marching tune, which has not been heard since the First World War, will come to life again during a concert commemorating the centenary of the Great War’s beginning. The Perth Citizens’ Band played a pivotal role in local military history, something that conductor Brian Tackaberry wanted to mark at the 100th anniversary “because of the band’s history,” during a telephone interview from Mississippi Mills on Wednesday, July 15. “We were kind of the regimental band. We still have some of the instruments with the 42nd Lanark and Renfrew Militia logo.” The concert will be held on Thursday, Aug. 7 at 7:30 p.m. as part of the ongoing Summer Pops Concert Series in Stewart Park, in the Market Square gazebo behind town hall. The war started on Aug. 4, 1914, and the government of Sir Robert Borden authorized the raising of local militias on Aug. 6, and many men heeded the call. Volunteers from across Lanark County took the train to Perth, where the Citizens’ Band met them off of the train, and marched them off to the Perth fairgrounds for the start of training. On Aug. 28, the band played the new soldiers off at the train station, as they headed for Camp Valcartier.

Not only did he found Perth’s 130th Battalion, but Lt. Col. J.E. DeHertel also founded the battalion band, and composed the “130th March Past,” in its honour. As the war went on, the band did its bit for the war effort, playing at Red Cross and other fundraising events, as well as going on recruitment drives as more soldiers became needed on the western front, as well as concerts to keep up homefront morale. They even played welcomes for returning or injured soldiers as they arrived home. By 1915, Perth got its own unit, the

130th Battalion, under the direction of Lt. Col. J.E. DeHertel, which also formed its own battalion band, taking the best and the brightest music talents from town bands across the county. Tackaberry is grateful to his predecessors from a century ago, who kept a folder for each year, filled with all of the music played that season. As such, “we have a lot of the original music from that time.” However, some of the music has been adapted for a 21st century band. A band in 1914, for example, would not likely have a saxophone. “We have been able to complete some of them,” he said of the old sheet music. DeHertel himself composed the “130th March Past,” which Tackaberry found in the 1915 folder. “It’ll be the first time it has been played since World War One,” he said, thanks largely to the work done by band member Joe Martin to update the score. But Tackaberry hastened to add that the music will not all be “military oriented.” In order to keep up morale, The Perth Courier of yesteryear reported in a 1915 story, a new delivery had been made of waltzes, including the Blue Danube, which will also be played that evening. As the country needed to keep its spirits up during what would turn out to be a brutal four-year engagement in Europe, patriotic sheet music became popular. “They’re not bad songs,” said Tack-

aberry. “(But) they’ve been lost over time.” Some songs, however, continued on to the Second World War and beyond, and are even recognized today, such as “It’s A Long Way to Tipperary,” “Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag,” and “Keep the Home Fires Burning.” As the war progressed, however, Tackaberry noticed that “a lot of them (the songs) are sad, longing songs.” One such song was “God be with you until we meet again, in the sweet by and by,” reflecting the longing for the safe return of loved ones serving overseas.

The war also tore apart the Citizens Band. Quite a few members joined the war effort themselves, hollowing out the band to older men too old to fight, and younger boys too young to fight. “Quite a few (saw) action in the trenches, and some were killed,” said Tackaberry. The evening will also feature a historic display of old, original instruments, music, and uniforms, with artifacts being drawn from the band’s historic collection, as well as borrowed artifacts from the Perth branch of the Royal Canadian Legion. Admittance is free.

Youngsters create a greener today

O

pinion – When it comes to the environment, don’t look around here for any slacktivists. Our kids are more than doing their part in saving our forests, our bees, and our snakes. Yes, our snakes. They have their part to play too, loathe though some are to admit it. Two of the youngsters we have profiled in our pages this week have worked at Murphys Point Provincial Park in Tay Valley Township for several years now. But Johnny Harris of Stanleyville and Brock Ogilvie of Charleston Lake have taken their love and concern for the great outdoors and all of its creatures in different directions. For Harris, while not studying sports journalism at a private college in Toronto, he has been sent to fight the raging forest fires in the Northwest Territories. In fact, it is because of him and his crew, the socalled “Twenty Sixers,” that the only highway into and out of Yellowknife is open. It is also because of them that the lights are staying on in the northern capital. Meanwhile, back down south, far from the firescarred landscape of burned-out trees and tundra, on the shores of Big Rideau Lake, stands Ogilvie. His work is far less glamorous, admittedly, and, apart from the occasional snake or mosquito bite, or bump from a log or rock, less dangerous, than what Harris is up to. But, he also serves and waits – waits, that it is, for the signal from grey rat snakes with radio transmitters implanted in them. Standing atop a rocky ridge in his tan uniform. It may look a little goofy, but, it is serious work. The snakes are a species at risk, and not having them as part of the ecosystem could wreak havoc on the local environment in ways we cannot even begin to imagine.

L

For Ogilvie, what is amazing about his job is that he is not actually what one would expect – an environmental sciences student or biology major. He is actually a history major at the University of Guelph, something that bodes well for the future. It is one thing to preach to the converted – they’ve already drunk the Kool-Aid, so to speak. But it is another thing when students of other disciplines take the environment seriously, just as Ogilvie is doing in studying the snakes. By finding out where they like to shed and bed, so to speak, where they like to spend their winters, the park managers will be able to find out where to build, or not build. Neither guy is doing this for the glory. Harris has been on assignments where he has had to motor along on little to no sleep, fighting heat, exhaustion, bug bites, aching muscles, and the disgusting, onlyin-forest-firefighting hazard of the contents of one’s sneeze coming out pitch black. He will be glad to see a shower upon his return home. As for Ogilvie, he is doing his part to protect a snake, a creature that some people are none too fond of, and some are even scared of. But this young man truly cares about the creatures he is cataloguing and tracking, even if they do take him into some truly funky terrain. Like Harris, he too has had his share of trudging through swampland, in nasty bush. Also like Harris, he will also not make a fortune doing this – but they do it, out of a desire to make things better, and keep others safe. We are not sure what type of world we are leaving our children, but one thing we can be sure of – if these young people are any proof, while it may take time for the results to show, they will take the environment seriously, and leave an eco-system that is improving, rather than declining.

Grateful this isn’t another cat update?

ifestyle - There’s a thing making the rounds on Facebook that goes by different names (no, not the flu) and varies a bit in terms of instruction, but it is essentially a seven-day challenge to list three things every day for which you are grateful or thankful. Wanna play? I thought I would take the idea and run – mostly because I figured you wouldn’t want to hear yet another update about my cat, weight loss or what kind of bathing suit I’m wearing. I realize I could be wrong, so I sincerely hope no one is sitting on the edge of his or her seat pining to know how many points a homemade scone is worth. (It’s five. Five points for a cinnamon raisin scone. And it was worth it.) You never know, some of those topics might squeeze into the whole gratitude/thankful thing anyway, so don’t despair. Anyway, due to space, I figure I will

limit my list to seven – representing one per day. That’s probably all I can muster anyway. I really am a totally ungrateful brute. Ahem. So... number one would have to be family and friends. For family that includes both the ones who live with me and the extended family. I’m grateful my kids have grandparents and an uncle, aunt and cousin nearby, and that they have always been there to help. I am grateful for the friends who live here and that those who are far away still connect with me as if no time has passed at all. That’s awesome. Number two: I am grateful for all my various “jobs” so that I can provide for the above-mentioned family who live with me. Being self-employed has made me a wearer of many hats, and I appreciate all those clients and employers and the diversity of experiences and challenges it has given me over the years.

I am grateful that in the last year I have finally started to get my act together and win the battle of the bulge. Coupled with that, I am grateful that I had the gumption to start the battle before being forced to do so for health issues.

program (and for those who inspired me to try it) and I’ve learned lots, too. For example, it reinforces that potato chips, even the plain ones, are not a free serving of vegetables. Same with apple pie – it’s not a fruit, dang it! Number four: I am thankful for humour. I am grateful to my mom for being a role model in showing how to use it every day. To me a fine measure of a person is whether they have a sense of humour or not, especially in difficult situations. This might get me into trouble someday, but I’m quite certain I couldn’t live without humour. (Coincidentally, I also measure people by whether I would like to be trapped with them in an emergency. It’s good to know people who have the Voice of Calm.) Number five: I am grateful for living in a place set in a beautiful natural environment, and that my kids appreciate it, too. I concede that we really, truly need to spend more

fun to discover what comes in each week’s basket. Last week, we had the first round of corn on the cob, beets, zucchini and beans. It made me wonder how others get their vegetables in the summer. Are you part of a local farm basket program? Do you grow your vegetables in your own garden? Do you stick with the grocery store? Or, do you consider ketchup chips a vegetable (I’d be willing to listen to this argument). Let me know about how you access your 5-10 a day, and I’ll share it in my next column.

The Styrofoam mould of Jeffery Baldwin with the Superman ‘S’ logo on it, the statue was fundraised by Carleton Place man Todd Boyce.

One of few pictures of Jeffery Baldwin smiling, who died after being abused by his grandmother, inspired a local man to fundraise for a statue in his honour.

Arts Centre and the Ian Millar/Big Ben statue in Perth. It is being created at Artcast Inc., a foundry in Kitchener. The statue will be located at Greenwood Park in Toronto, close to where Baldwin lived, where there is also a memorial tree and bench in his name. It was always Boyce’s plan to use the Superman logo, as he thought it fell under ‘fair use’, but in June the City of Toronto contacted him asking to get express permission that he could use the logo. Boyce contacted DC Comics and was told that he could not use the logo. “I was surprised, angry and disappointed,” said Boyce. “It looked like a canned response so I contacted the president of DC Comics and got a response within 24 hours, saying I still couldn’t use it because of various legal reasons… they left it very vague and that made me angry because they didn’t really give a reason.” He was then in contact with a lawyer from DC Comics who cited a request for a statue after the Batman movie massacre in 2012 in Colorado. “He was adamant in saying no,” said Boyce. Boyce contacted the foundry and they went to work to start to change the ‘S’ to a ‘J’ for Jeffery. Then he was contacted by reporters in Toronto who were looking for an update on the story and a story was published on the ‘S’ A super switch change on Monday, July 7. The artist working on Jeffery’s statue is The next day, Boyce heard from the senior Ruth Abernethy, who also created the Oscar vice president at DC Comics who informed Peterson statue that now sits at the National him they were re-considering their decision

due to the fan feedback and media response. On Wednesday, July 9 he was told DC Comics had reversed its decision. “I was happy but again, surprised,” said Boyce. “I give DC Comics credit, the fans spoke out and they listened.” DC Comics released a statement on July 9 on the situation: “We take each request seriously and our heartfelt thoughts go out to the victims, the family and those affected. DC Entertainment uses a flexible set of criteria when we receive worthy requests such as this, and at times have reconsidered our initial stance. After verifying the support of appropriate family members…DC Entertainment will be allowing the Jeffrey Baldwin Memorial Statue to feature the Superman ‘S’ shield.” The statue is currently a Styrofoam mould that will be covered in wax and then will be bronzed. The plan is to have it officially unveiled in September and Boyce, who has not yet seen the statue in person, will be travelling to Toronto for the ceremony being organized by the City of Toronto. Boyce hopes the statue will urge others to take a stand against child abuse. “I hope people are curious about the statue and learn about who Jeffery Baldwin was and I hope people will be more vigilant about child abuse,” said Boyce. “If you are suspicious report it because if you don’t this is what could happen.” Boyce added, “My hope is someone will be saved because someone else has the courage to make a call.”

Community – Jeffrey Baldwin wanted to be just like Superman. Now, thanks to the efforts of a Carleton Place man, a statue in his likeness will have the ‘S’ logo forever on its chest. Baldwin was just five years old when he died in 2002 in the care of his grandmother. After being kept in a cold room, with his own feces, he wasted away to only 21 lbs. Perth native and Carleton Place resident Todd Boyce learned of Baldwin’s last days when there was an inquest into his death in the fall of 2013. “I found myself thinking about him and it made me really sad thinking about how he lived and what could have been done to save him,” said Boyce. In fact, the inquest heard 103 recommendations to prevent other cases like Baldwin’s from happening in the future. After learning of all of the things Baldwin went through Boyce was compelled to do something. “In Jeffery’s case there were so many opportunities to save him; it’s unbelievable that not one person was able to get the attention of the authorities,” said Boyce. He decided to take action, wanting to do something inspirational and thought of a statue of the young boy with Superman’s ‘S’ logo on it. “It boiled down to that well-circulated picture of Jeffery wearing a Superman costume. There are few pictures of him and far fewer of him smiling…I wanted people to see him happy,” said Boyce. “Jeffery’s father testified that one of his fondest memories was of Jeffery at Halloween jumping around in it.” Boyce, who admits he had never done any sort of fundraising, set out to raise money for a statue with Crowdfunding and raised $50,000. He raised almost 15 per cent of the money in the Ottawa Valley and says that the experience was very heartwarming. “People around here have no connection to him but child abuse is a worldwide issue. It’s a bigger concern than people aware of,” said Boyce. “People (in the Ottawa Valley) heard about it and donated.” A number of local organizations contributed to the project including The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 244 Perth, the Smiths Falls Ontario Provincial Police Veterans Association and a local Perth business made a significant contribution, but asked to stay anonymous. Boyce also ran bottle drives in Carleton Place and wants to thank the people of the Ottawa Valley for their support. “It’s been a remarkable journey,” he noted. The project has received donations from Japan, Hong Kong, the United States, Netherlands, England, Australia and from coastto-coast across Canada. “We have received amazing support from around the world,” said Boyce.

News - Many grandparents have said they would go around the earth to help a child living with a form of autism, but Dave McElroy is one of the few who has boarded a plane to accomplish just that. On May 12, 2014 McElroy embarked on an 80day journey from Toronto’s Billy Bishop airport on Toronto Island in support of autism research at the Hospital for Sick Kids. That journey wrapped up Aug. 3, which coincidentally was the beginning of his last world-wide fundraising trip to Perth, Scotland to support the country’s only Charity Air Ambulance service. McElroy spoke with the paper on Sunday, Aug. 3 when he landed at the Russ Beach MontagueSmiths Falls Airport to refuel before heading onwards to Goose Bay, Labrador. When asked why take on such a challenging venture, the recentlyretired McElroy said the experience was always on his bucket list. “Why not go all the way around and why not do it for a great cause,” he said. Perth Mayor John Fenik was at the airport on Sunday to greet McElroy and present him with a $100 donation from the Town of Perth. “We’ve got very close ties to Scotland,” Fenik said in reference to the town’s sister city agreement with Perth, Scotland. “I thought it would be a nice gesture to donate.” This is not the only Canadian donation to be made. McElroy noted the Montreal controllers have volunteered to take up a collection for the cause and NavCan has made $1,000 donation towards the trip. Perth’s $100 is to go towards autism research by Dr. Stephen Scherer at Toronto’s Sick Kids. Scherer is the senior scientist at Sick Kids and most recently has defined CNV and other genetic factors underlying autism. McElroy hopes the funds Fly Round The World in 80 Days brings in will help children, like his two grandsons Wylie and Finn who are living with Asperger’s Syndrome – a condition that is on the autism spectrum. “There’s a big need,” McElroy said. In particular, he hopes further educational supports can be provided to these children, saying, “The education system, in our experience, in Toronto has been appallingly lacking.” His goal has been to raise $250,000 for autism research and the same amount for the Charity Air Ambulance in Scotland. “We’ll get half of that for sure,” McElroy reports. The Canadian-born pilot has recently retired

from his position as vice-president of Norbord Europe Ltd. in Scotland and is chair of the Scottish Air Club in Perth, Scotland. For almost a year the Charity Air Ambulance has flown an average of one mission a day saving hundreds of lives in the process and all through donations. Michael Rose of Scotland met up with McElroy in Toronto to complete the final leg of his dual around the world trips. The student pilot couldn’t pass up the chance to see a part of the world through the co-pilot’s seat of a single-engine Piper Comanche aircraft, while helping a cause like the Charity Air Ambulance. “It’s a really good cause. It’s saved hundreds of lives so far,” Rose said. The young future pilot is one of nine co-pilots who have made a donation or had their seat paid for on this trip. Those interested can watch the plane wrap up its flight to Perth, Scotland online at Stacey Roy/METROLAND www.flyrtw80.com where donations are still being Perth Mayor John Fenik (right) presents Dave McElroy (middle) with a cheque for $100 for accepted. autism research during his stop at the Russ Beach Montague Smiths Falls Air Port Sunday. McElroy hopes young pilots like Rose realize To the left is Michael Rose, volunteer pilot, is accompanying McElroy on his flight. that the impossible is possible, especially when it is for a good cause. “It’s possible to set a goal against insurmountable obstacles and see it through,” McElroy said. In the last 80 days those obstacles have included equipment failures, weather and politics, but the Fly Round The World in 80 Days team overcame all of them to remain on schedule and experience once-in-a-lifetime moments that won’t soon be forgotten. For McElroy this has to be the 17 hours of straight flying over the Pacific Ocean. For nineand-a-half hours of this flight McElroy was flying in the dark with nothing but water beneath him and empty space around him. “You’re the only human being on the planet for many hundreds of miles,” McElroy said of this challenge. R0012766137/0626 With this adversity came great rewards. The CONSTRUCTION CONSTRUCTION pinnacle of this trip was a rare moment in the sky where McElroy got up close to one of the galaxies beautiful light shows. “I saw a shooting star, which was quite an experience. I may have been the only person on the planet to have seen it,’ McElroy said.

Community – The judges are coming, the judges are coming! Perth is giving itself a bit of a spit-shine in the days coming up to the arrival of Communities in Bloom judges, who will be in town from Aug. 7 to 8. They will be put up at the Perth Manor and will be ferried about in style in the Perth fire department’s 1950s era fire truck. “We spend almost two full days touring around Perth,” said Karen Rennie, the town’s Heritage Tourism Manager and curator of the Matheson House museum, during a telephone interview on Thursday, July 17. While the name may suggest that the judges will be hardwired to zero in on the town’s flora and fauna, Rennie insists that it will only be one of five overall categories, which include: heritage, environment, landscaping, floral, and urban forestry. There will be also be a tour-within-a-tour when Susan Code gives a heritage walking tour of the town to the judges. Other stops on the regular tour will include The Table Community Food Centre, Algonquin College, the horticultural society, Conlon Farm, as well as talks with the town’s environmental services director Grant Machan and community services director Shellee Evans. “(It will be) a real comprehensive look at the town, for sure,” said Rennie of the tour, which will also include talks with members of town council. Another initiative that is being undertaken by the local Communities in Bloom committee are

the 10 “We Love Your Curb Appeal,” signs that are being “paid forward,” each week by homeowners. The downtown Business Improvement Area is also taking part in a similar initiative, with a storefront appeal initiative also being paid forward from business to business each week. Local service clubs have also been pitching in, with the area Girl Guides troupe cleaning up their section of Christie Lake Road, and the Civitan and Rotary clubs doing likewise with their roads. Back in town, new crosswalk signs will be going up, in heritage burgundy colours, in front of town hall, and at the intersection of Gore Street East and Herriott Street. “(They will have) more of a heritage look to them,” promised Rennie. “They had to be replaced anyway.” The new signs will compliment the 13 new garbage cans and four benches that have been replaced downtown as well, so that, all three combined will show that the town is “going for that consistent look.” The last time that Perth took part in this initiative was back in 2001, and the town did very well more than a decade ago. Because of that, “there was not a lot of new things that they could show the judges,” in 2002 or beyond. “Now there is a lot of new things to show the judges since 2001.” She stressed that it is about “civic pride,” and is not a competition. “We are not competing against other communities,” she said. “It does take a lot of work and maintenance to keep it up.”

Timber framing group raises rafters Aug. 23 Community - Gibson Timber Frames is running a one-week course in Perth from Aug. 18 to 23. The six-day course starts with a brief introduction to timber frame construction theory. The students are then trained in the safe use of the power planer and given a pine timber to plane smooth and prepare for the mortise and tenon cuts. The course continues in this style of hands on learning, safe tool operation, and brief lessons on theory. By the third day the students will have completed timbers that are ready to be installed in the frame. By the fifth day, everyone will have individually prepared and cut the joinery on at least one piece. The sixth day is the most exciting as all the pieces are put together and the 16’x 20’ frame is raised. Proceeds from the sale of the frame are sent to carefully selected charities. Gibson Timber Frames has been running this course for 12 years with great success. Some students come with no carpentry background and others come as tradespeople looking to expand their skills. Students are typically from Ontario, but they come from other

Lifetime Legion member reminisces about 1977 Jubilee medal Terry O’Hearn

Community - The highlight of Legion Life Member Bill McKenzie’s military career came when he received the Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee Medal at National Defence Headquarters (NDHQ) Ottawa in 1977. Selection of medal recipients for the Armed Forces was based on merit, with length of service and prestige of current appointment as secondary consideration. “It was a complete surprise,” said McKenzie in reminiscing about his 30 years in the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals. He was posted in 1970 from Germany to local military base Canadian Forces Base Carp, Richardson Detachment, and served as Detachment Commander until 1974 with the rank of Chief Warrant Officer. McKenzie’s army service was followed by seven years in Director Land Armament Electronic Engineering Maintenance (DLAEEM 5). His Legion contributions have included many years as Branch Service Officer, the front line position for assisting veterans and their families. The Hall of Remembrance military museum will continue to show a special display of First World War artifacts at the museum entrance during the month of August. Numerous additions and enhancements to the exhibits have been made over the past few months, and the public is invited to attend during regular hours on Friday and Saturday, from 1 to 3 p.m. Days of Yore … From a photo by Don Crawford in The Perth Courier, June 11, 1970: “New top executive for Perth Legion are (left to right), Bill Hamilton, Sgt.-at-Arms; Gordon Rutherford, 3rd Vice-President; Harold Pratt, 1st Vice-President; Charles O’Hara, Executive Committee; George Johnson, President; Harold Kirkham, Executive Committee; Ted Day, Executive Committee; Jack Lackey, 2nd Vice-President. The new executive held its first meeting on Monday, June 8 to appoint chairmen for the various Legion committees.” Did you know? The following are a few facts about horses relating to World War One, as found on the website www.horse-canada. com • Eight million horses and countless donkeys and mules died on all sides fighting on the Western front from exhaustion, starvation, drowning in mud and water, falling in shell holes, being shot and blown up. • Mules were shown to have incredible stamina in the cold and heat. They played a huge part in the war efforts in Burma, Eritrea and Tunisia. Often their vocal chords were cut to keep them quiet. • While the better bred horses suffered more from shell shock, the less well bred horses often learned how to lie down and take cover at the sound of fire. • After the war, some of the best horses were kept by the British Army. Sadly, the ‘standard’ horses were often sold to French butchers for horsemeat or left to a life of hard labour in a foreign land, a terrible fate after serving their country so valiantly. Don’t forget our websites: www.rcl244.com and www. hallofremembrance.ca Lest we forget.

RBC Bluesfest launches The Festival of Small Halls

FieldHouse Restaurant supports Cornerstone Landing Community - Juliana Graf and Andrew Chatham, the owners of FieldHouse – Food & Restaurant, a newly opened restaurant at 43 Herriott St. in Perth, believe in supporting and giving back to their community. They have already proven that actions speak louder than words. Every Friday night is pizza night from 5 to 8 p.m. at Fieldhouse and a portion of the proceeds are given to Cornerstone Landing to support the work being done to help at-risk youth. Their support started the first week that they were in business. Cornerstone Landing is a local

not-for-profit charity whose aim is to prevent youth between the ages of 16 and 24 from becoming homeless. This involves the youth remaining in school and striving to achieve their Grade 12. This past year, the organization helped eight students of which two continued on to college and one entered the workforce. The remaining students will continue in their school programs next year. Cornerstone Landing had 28 referrals from local agencies or schools but was only able to accommodate the needs of eight, thanks to the generosity of the

Tell Someone!

people and organizations of Perth and area. The youth are supported financially and are in direct contact on a weekly basis with a student coordinator. Other support comes in the form of donations of personal hygiene supplies. It is well-known that it is much more financially viable to support youth before they become homeless than it is to support homeless individuals. For more information on how you can support our vulnerable Photo submitted youth, visit Cornerstone’s website Christine Campbell (left), chair of Cornerstone at www.cornerstonelanding.com Submitted by Cornerstone Landing, receives a donation from Juliana Landing.

Paddlefest floats into Lower Reach Park

Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

Events - On Aug. 16 the Rideau region will bring the iconic waterway from its place as a picturesque backdrop to the forefront, at the Rideau Paddlefest in Smiths Falls. The new regional event in Lower Reach Park offers a full day (10 a.m. to 10 p.m.) of unique events both on the water and land for families to enjoy. “To my knowledge I don’t know of any event like this that’s been done on the Rideau,” remarked professional canoe trainer, Max Finklestein who is working with the Rideau Roundtable on the water events. The main event will take place in the afternoon (1:30 to 5:30 p.m.) when teams of 15 members will take to the water in hopes of guiding their voyageur canoe to the finish line. All skill levels are encouraged to come out, including first-timers as an experienced canoeist will steer the canoe

for each team. Finklestein encourages anyone who wants to experience the Rideau from the traditional vantage point of the water to put a team together and come out. “When you do work as a team and everybody works together it’s a great feeling when these big things glide through the water,” Finklestein added. “This is just for fun.” “The key is that this is such a powerful team building tool,” added Peter Au of the Rideau Roundtable. All teams will be offered a two-hour training session the Thursday or Friday night before the event. For full details on how to register, please see updates on the event Facebook page. A $300 team fee does apply. This covers any expenses for the day and will help to establish a fund to develop youth voyageur teams in the region free of charge. Au explains, this year’s event aims to build the foundation for Canada’s 150th

anniversary in 2017. “It would be great if we had this big birthday celebration to actually have paddlers,” Au said, alluding to future plans. Finklestein hopes this year’s event will re-awaken the regional canoeists so that a big canoe event can be staged at Victoria Island in Ottawa for 2017. A similar event to this did take place in the 1980s but has since been retired. Susan Fournier, executive director of Valley Heartland CFDC is assisting with the event and is pleased to see a mixture of family-friendly activities and water-based events at this rain or shine event. “We really have this opportunity to be a stage to show off the whole region,” she said.

“They want to be part of history, part of the legacy. We’ll see what this year brings.” -coach duane jones

“I remember coaching her (Klassen) when she was a little girl,” Jones added. “I’ll be excited to watch her and others like her.” Klassen swam for Jones’ competitive youth team during the ages of 10 to17 and just returned to the sport this past January hoping it could help her resolve her back pain and relieve stress. “It’s almost eliminated the back problems. Mentally it is so uplifting,” Klassen said. She feels the years she spent away from swimming have given her the opportunity to have a different perspective going into competition. The area swimmer discovered the worlds was being held in Montreal a month after diving back into the sport this year and decided she would try and get there. She’s going into the races hoping to come in around the top 20 or better. Currently she is seeded in the mid-30s. Klassen is anticipating stiff compe-

She has been training independently at The Hub in Smiths Falls four times a week while still being affiliated with Jones’ team. While the pool is half the size of the competition pool and much warmer, Klassen sees this as a possible benefit. “I figure I probably increased my oxygen levels” due to the warm temperature, she stated. Wagland has also been faced with this challenge in Perth, but is choosing to tackle it a different way. For the last month she has been swimming once a week at the competition sized pool in Nepean. “It’s a different swimming all together,” Wagland said of the larger pool. This is mostly because there are less turns and so less opportunity to gain momentum by pushing off. The 2014 FINA World Master competition will be Wagland’s first world competition in the 20 years she has been a master. “It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time,” Wagland added. “It’s kind of scary.” Wagland has always faced a challenge head-on and it has paid off for her. She currently holds provincial and national records in her age category of 65 to 69 years. She knows her records will one day be bettered, and takes the

achievement for what it is. “At least I had the glory of breaking them temporarily,” she said. Wagland will be competing in the 800m, 200m, 100m and 50m freestyle races, as well as the 50m fly. Currently, she sits in 11th place in the 200m freestyle and hopes this week’s competition will help her break into the top 10. “My goals have been to get faster and faster,” she said. This will be the first competition Wagland is swimming as a member of the Perth Stingrays club. She has spent much of her swimming years in the Brockville club, but her relay team wished to move and she wanted to remain with her friends. “That’s what masters is all about. You make these friendships. I wouldn’t miss this for all the world,” Wagland said. The world masters is a bitter-sweet competition for the Perth resident as one of her swimming partners and friend is currently battling Parkinson’s disease and may be swimming competitively for the last time. Wagland encourages anyone interested in improving their fitness and health to consider competitive swimming. “I think it’s a discipline that helps you in everything you do in life,” she said. The 2014 FINA World Masters will finish Aug. 10 in Montreal. As the largest FINA event, the world masters aims to promote fitness, friendship, understanding and competition.

Sports – The road between Lanark and North Leeds to Montreal was busy this week when over 100 area swimming competitors travelled to the 2014 FINA World Masters competition. Duane Jones has coached swimming for 50 years this fall and still gets excited when he can share the excitement and awe of international competition with others. Jones’ philosophy is simple: everyone should have the opportunity to try swimming and once on his team “they should be given every opportunity to be the best they can be.” This year’s masters contingent has swimmers of all ages with the most senior being aged 84. Over the years, Jones has built the Technosport Swim and Triathlon Club (www.technosport. ca) into the one time home of six world champions. It is this ability to encourage excellence that Jones feels draws swimmers to him. “They want to be part of history, part of the legacy,” he added. “We’ll see what this year brings.” The Perth area coach is keeping his eye out for a couple of his athletes, including Krista Klassen of the Kemptville area and Wendy Wagland of Perth.

Swimmer, Rebekah Nitschmann, set to raise funds for university meets

Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

Sports - Rebekah Nitschmann is raising money for a good cause – her own. The 19-year-old competitive university swimmer is part of the small 15-person team (the Panthers) from the University of Prince Edward Island where they are required to do their own fund-

tion of funding that other teams get,” she said. “Out of a possible five swim meets we could go to, we were only able to attend three during the season,” due to budget restraints, she said. The second-year student is studying science, with a major in foods and nutrition. She hopes to attend veterinary college. “I have been swimming ever since I can remember,” she said about how her love of the sport grew. “I started going to the pool with my family and in watching my mom do lengths I decided to start trying it myself and it has just grown from there.” At St. John Catholic High School, Nitschmann attended two Ontario Federation of Schools Athletic Association (OFSAA) meets in Grade 10 and 11, but the teachers’ strike in Grade 12 thwarted a third try at provincials. In Grade 12, Nitschmann started coaching the Perth Stingrays which gave her the opportunity to train with them. This, she Photo submitted said, helped her improve her enKris Plant (Perth Tri, left) pres- durance even more. When she was accepted to the ents a donation to Brandi Machan swim team she said she was “so

raising to compete at a variety of meets. To help raise some muchneeded funds for competitions, she’s swimming Silver Lake on Aug. 17 from the campground. She is set to jump into the water at 7 a.m. and anticipates finishing five and a half hours later. “The rest of my team is doing a relay swim across the straight from PEI to mainland which is

16km. Since they are doing this swim before I return from school I decided to do my part here in my hometown where I am hoping that the people I have grown up around will support me.” Nitschmann is holding her own fundraising swim. Because it’s such a small team at UPEI, “swimming is not as recognized as we only get a frac-

Perth Tri donates to Stingrays STAFF

Sports - The Perth Triathlon has had a long-lasting relationship with the Perth Stingrays swim team and this year is no exception. The triathlon in June was a great success with more than 100 participants aged 11 to 65 years. There were several Perth Stingrays swimmers who competed in both the individual and team triathlon (500 metre swim, 16km bike, 3km run) and there were Stingrays coaches and parents out to help to run the event. The Stingrays families also contributed over 40 pies and packages of cookies as prizes for the winners of the various events. Race director Kris Plant was a Stingray herself and is now swimming competitively in the masters program. She has been the race director for several years now and has continued to support the Stingrays. Over the 10-plus years that the Perth Triathlon has been running, they have donated thousands of dollars to the (Stingrays). The two clubs have Stingrays. Those funds have gone towards equipment for the been long-time supporters of each Stingrays and most recently towards the purchasing of one of other. the six new starting blocks for the team.

Rebekah Nitschmann excited. I went to UPEI with an academic scholarship but not an athletic scholarship.” Her main stroke is freestyle, and she does her best work at the shorter sprint races - the 50m and 100m. “I am not an Olympic hopeful, however this past year I have been only one second off from being in the finals, which is a big accomplishment for a girl who basically taught herself until high school,” she said. Nitschmann said she absolutely adores swimming. “I always feel good when I leave the pool and I love the feel

of gliding through the water. It is such freedom and even with people swimming around me I feel like it is just me and the pool and I can easily focus on my athletic goal for the day. Honestly, if I wasn’t swimming I would probably be running or biking or doing some other form of exercise,” she said. Originally set for the Big Rideau, a practice run there made her rethink that location. “So after taking a test run on the Rideau (Aug. 2) my brother who is driving the boat beside me as I swim, was greatly concerned about the ability to get the boat out to my start spot and back on a tank of gas,” she explained. “As well, the boat traffic on the Rideau was crazy and made swimming (is) both too dangerous and too difficult. For these reasons my swim will be moved to Silver Lake. It will be quieter and more successful for me. I will still be swimming 16 km but on a smaller safer lake.” Fitness has always been a big part of her life and as a natural competitor she said she can’t see her life without some sort of fitness competition in it.

Henderson to play charity match to benefit ambulance campaign Community – Brooke Henderson, the 16-year-old golfing phenom from Smiths Falls, will be playing a charity match at the Brockville Country Club on Wednesday, Aug. 13 in support of the St. John Ambulance Brigade of Leeds-Grenville & Lanark Caring for Our Community Capital Campaign. This charity match was arranged at the Caring for Our Community campaign launch on Valentine’s Day 2014 when $1,000 was raised in a draw to determine who would have the pleasure of playing with Henderson. Pat Markovich of Brockville was the lucky draw winner that day. She will be joining Henderson, John Williams, the Brockville Country Club’s (BCC) oldest active member at 94 years young, and David Dargie, capital campaign co-ordinator. The golfers will tee off at 11:30 a.m. and the public, especially junior golfers, are invited to come out and “walk with Brooke” during the match. Henderson is enjoying a fabulous 2014 golf season.

On July 30 she became the youngest winner of the PGA Women’s Championship of Canada presented by Nike Golf after an unbelievable two days at FireRock Golf Club in Komoka, Ontario. Henderson posted a two-day total of 13-under par, setting a new championship scoring record and adding her name to a list of champions that includes Lorie Kane, Cathy Sherk, Gail Graham, Nancy Harvey, Jessica Shepley and Alena Sharp. With the win, Henderson, who is currently ranked No. 2 in the World Amateur Golf Rankings, pads her already impressive tournament stats in 2014. She was the low amateur (T10) at the US Women’s Open, finished tied for 26th at the Kraft Nabisco Championship, and tied for 45th at the Manulife Financial LPGA Classic. She also has wins this year at the Canadian Women’s Tour event in Niagara Falls, the Porter Cup, the Ontario Women’s Amateur, the Scott Robertson Memorial Tournament and the South

Atlantic Ladies Amateur. Dargie, organizer of this charity match, observed, “Brooke Henderson is an accomplished golfer and a great role model who has been kind enough to lend her support to our capital campaign. She was the honorary chair of our Riverside $1Million Hole-in-One Challenge and had agreed earlier this year to play a charity golf match to raise funds for our cause. Golfers in Brockville and area are invited to join us on Aug. 13 to see Brooke’s skills in person and get to meet this world ranked player. This is a unique opportunity for any golf fan to walk the fairways with Brooke when she plays at the BCC.” Anyone wishing to observe this charity match is invited to the Brockville Country Club to walk the front nine of the 18-hole match beginning at 11:30 a.m. There is no admission charge for this event. Parts of the match will be recorded for TV Cogeco’s golf program, Tee’d Off.

Community – The third annual Lanark Highlands Classic Cars on the banks of the Clyde rolled into the village on Sunday, Aug. 3 and the ball park was filled with oldies but goodies.

Sports - RBC not only sponsored the Canadian Open, they sponsored our July 29 Men’s Twilight League Play as well. Scott Rintoul was there to represent the RBC and brought lots of prizes for the 76 golfers present. We played regular golf and Bill Nichols and Dave Hyslop both scored a 41 on the front 9. Richard Crowe reached deep and came up with a 35 on the back 9. Long drives were by Brian Cavanaugh, Gary Leach, Bob Pelletier, Ray Kilpatrick and Brad Hasler. Bob Burch was closest to the pin on No. 8 to take

home the Burns Jewelers entry for the $700 gift certificate to be drawn on the closing tournament in September. Tyler Shanks was closest to the pin on No. 15 and took home the $25 gift certificate at the Lanark Landing Restaurant. The $500 Canadian Tire gift card is still available for anyone with a hole in one on No. 3 during league play. The month end draws were made for long drives and low gross scores. Alex Jopling won a dozen golf balls on the long drive draw and Ed Carnrite won a dozen balls on the low gross draw. The month-end draw for a $100 gift certificate to the Perth Golf Course was won by Bill Griffith.

Barns, Farms & Wicked Chefs comes to EcoTay Aug. 23 to support The Table Community – The Barns, Farms & Wicked Chefs gala is synonymous with fine food, sweet tunes and captivating company. This year, Omya Perth became the event sponsor of The Table Community Food Centre’s annual fundraising event on Saturday evening, Aug. 23 from 5:30 to 10 p.m. at the historic barns of EcoTay, just 10 minutes west of Perth. Ten chefs from Perth, Westport, Kingston, and Ottawa have graciously volunteered their time and talent to prepare the delicious food for the evening. The ingredients will be purchased by The Table from local farms and food producers. Some of the regional farms that will be supplying Barns, Farms & Wicked Chefs this year include: Miller’s Bay Farm, Hollyhock Grange, and Heritage Haven Farm. The Table’s purchasing power is used to support local food producers like these who share our philosophy of putting quality food on the table. Another favourite ingredient at The Table is the organic sunflower oil from Kricklewood Farm. Their cold pressed oil is rich in Vitamin E and high in the good fats. No slouch in the food-producing field, The Table, will be providing its very own community garden garlic for the event. Just last week volunteer Doug and his team of gardeners harvested and hung more than 1,500 bulbs to cure! To enhance your culinary experience, we have a new ingredient this year. Our country elegant gala is

featuring The Found Bowls Auction, celebrating the life work of Jackie Seaton, master potter, philanthropist and great friend of The Table. This Live Auction will begin with a set of bowls that his wife Joni Seligman found long after she thought that she had cleared his workshop. This will be your last chance to purchase Jackie’s beloved bowls. The Live Auction will also feature a very few signature pieces by potters who responded to Joni’s request to donate some of their current work in honour of Jackie. The silent auction will also include some unique experiences. Bid on a romantic trip down the Tay Canal in a restored wooden craft with picnic lunch by The Table at the Locks at Port Elmsley. Or bid on dinner for eight at Haggart House prepared by chef Judy Dempsey. This food and wine event See GALA page 42

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

GIFTING TO CHARITY IS NOT JUST FOR THE WEALTHY. A LITTLE BIT GOES A LONG WAY! Many hard-working people want to make a positive difference in their community, but don’t have the time to do it. by Jessica Houle, lawyer at Sicotte Guilbault LLP, jhoule@sicotte.ca (613)-837-7408, ext. 260

It is a mistake to think that charitable gifting is only for people at a certain income level. Anyone can leave a charitable gift from their estate, regardless of the size of the estate. A gift is a gift, no matter how big or small and every bit helps and is appreciated. The good news is that including a gift in your Will is very easy

a legacy gift in your Will is a great way “ Leaving to give back to the community without having to compromise your time. ”

and will benefit many people. A charitable gift to Forever CHEO enhances the quality of life for children and their families in our community and leaves donors with a sense of fulfillment. Leaving a charitable gift also has some interesting tax benefits which are worth considering.

Another misconception is that you have to volunteer your time in order to give back to your community. Many hard-working people want to make a positive difference in their community, but don’t have time to do it. Leaving a legacy gift in your Will is a great way to give back to the community without having to compromise your time.

If you are interested in finding out about how you can leave a CHEO legacy, please contact Megan Doyle Ray at

megandoyle@cheofoundation.com or (613) 738-3694

In short, you don’t have to be wealthy to make a difference and there is no such thing as an insignificant gift. By including a gift in your Will, whatever its size, you are helping to ensure that CHEO’s important work lives on for generations to come.

Always remember to investigate options for tire warranties Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

a vehicle parked in the sun is to open the doors on one side and then rapidly open and close a door on the opposite side several times in a row with its window rolled up. The swinging door will act like a fan pushing the hot air out the other side. If there’s limited room in a parking lot, just roll down the windows on the opposite side instead of opening the doors. Watch those wipers A popular feature on some upscale and highly optioned SUVs and minivans is a rear wiper that comes on automatically when the driver puts the transmission in reverse while the front wipers are on. This is a great feature until you have a bike rack attached to the rear with support straps that lie across the wiper blade and arm. So before you mount such an accessory for your next trip check your vehicle owner’s manual to see if you can disarm such a feature if your vehicle has it, or remove the wiper arm if it can’t be disabled. This weekend is full of opportunities for chrome addicts to get their fix at a wide number of car shows in the region.

Lifestyle – You don’t have to be that old a car owner to remember when almost every tire manufacturer offered a ‘road hazard’ warranty. These protection plans, which almost always came standard with the purchase of new tires, would offer replacement coverage in the event of a puncture which left the tire irreparable. They did not cover the cost of a plug/patch repair, if the tire was still serviceable. It offered great piece of mind especially to those motorists who were unfortunate enough to drive over something on the road with relatively new tires. Fast forward to today and few tire companies offer this service anymore on their products, even though they’re made with improved materials and manufacturing techniques which makes them almost impenetrable to all but the sharpest of road and construction debris. But there is a way to get this handy coverage if you know how to find it. Two US tire firms, Vanderbilt and GT Radial, offer road-hazard warranty at no extra cost on selected passenger car and light truck tires. These are available at many area tire retailers. With a road-hazard warranty, if the tire is left irreparable due to a puncture, a replacement tire is offered on a pro-rated basis. For example, if the tire has 25 per cent wear as indicated by a tread-depth measurement, a customer could expect to pay 25 per cent of the cost of a replacement tire plus installation, balancing, and taxes. Some Goodyear/Dunlop tire retailers will offer a road-hazard plan for a reasonable fee when purchasing new tires. Just ask at the order desk. As well some auto retailers will offer road-hazard warranties in addition to extended vehicle protection plans through their business offices. These are usually only available when purchasing a new or pre-owned vehicle. Stifling hot air A quick way to remove stifling hot air from

Mike Ogilvie’s customized 1987 GMC truck is not for sale Lifestyle – Mike Ogilvie operates Ogilvie’s Auto Fleet Service Inc. in Jasper, Ontario, and sponsored the Merrickville Car Show and Cruise and Shop on Sunday, July 13. His 1987 GMC truck was on display with more than a thousand other classic vehicles. He writes: “My 1987 Chevy truck was my first new vehicle and my first education on financing. I bought this truck brand new from Surgenor Truck Centre in Ottawa when I was making $175 a week working for my parents and had to get them to co-sign for me. Mom reminded me that over $100 per week was going to my truck payment and was I sure that would leave me enough for everything else (other hot rods, girls, and fuel). I assured her there was no problem. I had to have the truck, and it would be paid off in 60 months. About six months into it, I realized all about being committed to a payment. It was a long five years but I did it and it taught me a lot. “The truck is a 1987 GMC 1500 4x4 equipped with a 6.2 litre diesel engine and 700 R4 overdrive transmission. It originally had 3.08 gears but has been upgraded to ¾ ton differential with 3.73 gears, 6-inch lift kit, 35”x18” Mickey Thompson tires and Eagle wheels. “At first, we looked for a good ’81’87 Chev or GMC short box for a lift kit and wheels and tires but couldn’t find anything decent. Then we decided to go new. When I signed the loan at the bank,

the lady was nice enough to include a little extra for my lift kit (another thing I learned about banking). The day after I picked up my new truck, I had it in the shop with the entire suspension out of it to install the lift kit. I can remember Dad calling from Florida telling me he was on his way home and me looking at the truck on the hoist with no suspension in it and with less than 100 km on the odometer and thinking I better get it back together before he gets home and sees what he co-signed for! “This truck was my everyday vehicle for many years. I also used it to tow my show cars and race cars to many events all over North America, including the recent Show ‘n’ Shine in Merrickville on July 13. It has now gone through three makeovers. After the last one, we now drive it only in the summer. “This truck has been a very big part of my life - through my dating years, through my marriage, and now to drive my daughter to her graduation in. Because of all the memories and what it has taught me, I will never sell it.” I’m always looking for more stories. Submitted photo Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Mike Ogilvie’s high and handsome 1987 GMC truck, which he displayed at the Merrickville Car Show Cruise and Shop on July 13, along with more than a thousand other classic vehicles.

Entertainment – Guardians of the Galaxy is the movie I’ve been looking forward to the most this summer. This is the one film I could not miss, and it exceeded all my expectations. Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) a.k.a. Starlord is an interstellar outlaw and thief. Abducted by aliens as a boy, and then raised by those same aliens Peter makes his way through the galaxy one shady job at time. Jobs like taking a mysterious orb from a long dead civilization. Gamora (Zoe Saldana) is the adopted daughter of the mad titan Thanos. She’s a warrior, and an assassin. Thanos has made Gamora serve the Kree terrorist Ronan (Lee Pace) as he seeks to destroy his enemies. Ronan wants the orb so Gamora is sent after Quill. Rocket (Bradley Cooper) and Groot (Vin Diesel) are bounty hunters. The genetically engineered Rocket is the trigger-happy brains, and the semi-sentient plant Groot is the muscle. When it becomes known that Quill has the orb a bounty is put on his head. All Rocket and Groot want is their money. Drax the Destroyer (Dave Bautista)

Community – The third annual Lanark Highlands Classic Cars on the banks of the Clyde rolled into the village on Sunday, Aug. 3 and the ball park was filled with oldies but goodies under sunny skies and humid conditions. Organizer Ross Trimble told media the event was even more well attended than last year’s 165 entrants. The came in all shapes and sizes, and the threat of thunder showers held off. Pictured are some of the scenes from the day, including a 1958 Chev Cameo, (top left) owned by Malcolm Ledson of Perth and some favourite muscle cars seen througout the grounds.

Take a walk on the wild side in one of Ontario’s provincial parks Lifestyle – Solitude, discovery, challenge and landscapes of unparalleled beauty all await backcountry campers in Ontario’s provincial parks. “Back-country camping offers a great chance to get in touch with nature, disconnect from hectic day-to-day life and unwind for a while. Remember to take only pictures, leave only footprints to preserve the pristine beauty of our provincial parks for everyone to enjoy,” stated Bill Mauro, Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry. If you want to ditch car camping and try backcountry – also known as wilderness – camping, here are some tips to get you started: Pick a destination: First-timers should stick to areas that are easy to get to. For example, Frontenac Provincial Park offers backcountry sites that are accessible by paddle or foot; leave portaging until you’re more experienced. Plan ahead: Be sure to book a campsite in advance and bring a map and a compass. GPS devices are great, but coverage can be spotty. What to wear: Lightweight, waterresistant or fast-drying clothing that’s geared for the time of year is best. And don’t forget bug spray and sunscreen. What to eat: Bring enough food, but don’t overdo it. Keep it as light as possible and pack it in reusable containers. Bring water or treat water from nearby lakes or rivers before you drink it. What to pack: In addition to food

Pack cooking gear, including a small stove, pots, dishes and cutlery; a lighter and matches in a waterproof container; a groundsheet, sleeping bag and air mattress or foam pad; a flashlight, whistle, pocket knife and garbage bags. Don’t forget biodegradable toothpaste. Living with wildlife: Wildlife is wonderful to see, but not in your tent. Hang food and toiletries at least three metres from the ground and away

from tree trunks. Protect the environment: Only use environmentally friendly products and leave no trace that you were there. Cans and bottles are not allowed in the backcountry of some provincial parks, so make sure you check the rules. Put out campfires before you leave. Weather: Watch for changing weather conditions. The 30-30 rule suggests seeking shelter when there is less than 30 seconds between the sound of thunder and the sight of lightening. Stay

sheltered until 30 minutes past the last thunder. Safety: Let people know where you’ll be and when you should be back. Carry a first aid kit. Campsites can be reserved online 24 hours a day or by calling the park reservation line at 1-888-ONT-PARK between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. daily. Quick facts • Ontario has more than 6,500 backcountry campsites – accessible only by canoe or on foot – tucked away in 22

provincial parks. • There are more than 330 provincial parks in Ontario, covering more than eight million hectares – larger than Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island combined. • In 2013, Ontario’s provincial parks received more than 8.5 million visits from people around the world, bringing in $69 million in revenue and supporting jobs and businesses across the province.
