RedBlacks visit Camp Quality
Fenik steps aside as mayor to seek MP job Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s early election has forced John Fenik to abdicate the Perth mayor’s chair several weeks ahead of schedule. A traditional-length campaign of just over a month would have meant an election call sometime during the second week of September, but, instead, Harper paid Governor General David Johnston a visit at Rideau Hall on Sunday, Aug. 2 to
begin the election period leading up to the Oct. 19 vote. As Fenik stood in the middle of the council chambers, with Deputy Mayor John Gemmell seated behind him in the mayor’s chair as acting mayor at the Aug. 4 committee of the whole meeting, Fenik joked that the “best laid plans” had been upended by Harper. “It’s quite a historic event,” said Fenik, both of his decision to seek unpaid See FENIK page P5

The Ottawa RedBlacks may have won their game against the Montreal Alouettes last Friday, but it was the kids at Camp Quality that were the winners this past Monday. Members of the Canadian Football League (CFL) team descended on Providence Point, where the camp for children dealing with cancer is held every year just outside of Lanark Village, for a meet-and-greet, and to toss around the pigskin. Clayton’s Nat Downing and Lanark’s Marleigh Callan got to meet many of the players, including getting a photo taken with Keith Shologan. But while the visit from the 14 teammates will certainly be a highlight of the summer, for the two volunteers, who act as buddies to individual campers, the bond they create with these youngsters will burn even brighter in their memories. The two are in their second year of volunteering. “I was really little when I started servDesmond Devoy/METROLAND ing food with the Civitan Club and when RedBlacks player John Boyett spends a moment in quiet conversation, away from the I was 18 I signed up (with Camp Qual-

Federal NDP leader Tom Mulcair, above, brought his “Ready for Change” campaign to the Crystal Palace in Perth on Friday evening, Aug. 7. Hundreds of supporters attended.

The NDP propose to save home delivery and keep Canada Post as a Crown corporation. tenac-Kingston riding include the Liberal Party’s Philippe Archambault and Anita Payne of the Green Party. In regards to the large sea of supporters, “Real change is happening,” Fenik said. “You have an extraordinary candidate here in John Fenik,” Mulcair said. He called the three-term mayor “a leader in his community.”
Also on hand for the event: NDP candidates Paul Dewar for Ottawa Centre and Margaret Andrade for LeedsGrenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes.

Federal NDP leader Tom Mulcair was greeted by hundreds of supporters in Perth on Friday evening, Aug. 7, making an appearance at the Crystal Palace alongside local candidate John Fenik. “What an incredible energy!” Mulcair said, after arriving in an orange bus just after 5:30 p.m. Fenik introduced his party’s leader to the crowd as “the next prime minister of Canada.” “It is amazing to be at the Crystal Palace,” Mulcair said. “This (place) is gorgeous!” Leading up to the Oct. 19 federal election, Mulcair is the first party leader to visit Lanark County. Mulcair spoke in both official languages for roughly 15 minutes, outlining the NDP platform, which includes a plan to create jobs and kick start the economy. “As Catherine and I travel across the country, from coast to coast, the one thing we hear most often is that people want change,” he said, “and it’s not hard to understand why.” Catherine Pinhas is Mulcair’s wife. “Middle class families are working harder than ever before, but they are falling further behind,” Mulcair said. “Incomes are flatlining and household debt is skyrocketing.” He noted there are 200,000 more Canadians out of work today than when the last recession hit in 2008. The NDP leader called Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s job creation record “the worst since the Second World War,” and referred to his economic growth record as “the worst since the great recession of the 1920s.” “Clearly, Mr. Harper, your plan isn’t working,” Mulcair added. The NDP Party promises to impose a new federal minimum wage of $15 an hour. “There are 100,000 workers who are low paid under federal jurisdiction,” Mulcair said. He added his party would get rid of the Conservative income-splitting plan, “a scheme that only benefits 15 per cent of Canadians – some of the country’s richest families.” With Ontarians spending as much as $2,000 a month for childcare, Mulcair’s party is pushing for a Canada-wide $15a-day childcare program, with one million new daycare spaces. Other plans include bringing the retirement age back from 67 to 65, tax breaks to small- and medium-sized businesses, and protecting and defending Canadian farmers and “our supply management system,” Mulcair said.

Pamper your body and mind amid a tranquil country setting Saturday, Aug. 22 during the annual Loving You personal wellness day. Set to take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. along the grounds of Angels Roost Organic Spa (1731 7th Line in Beckwith), the event serves as a fundraiser for Lanark County Interval House (LCIH). What began as a smaller initiative with tarot card readings several years ago, grew into a full day of activities last year, raising $4,149.95 for LCIH, designed to indulge your spirit. Activities during the day include vendors offering a handmade craft market, jewelry, as well as foot pampering, vegetable market, reflexology and henna designs by Ann Gratton, who has been an artist for 19 years. Spa services (foot soak, massage and Reiki on the lawn are $15 each) and are all 15 minutes in length. Erin Lee, executive director of LCIH said the concept for the day fits in perfectly with the peace the organization tries to bring to women and children living in violence. “It’s all about self-care, it’s all about self-wellness and it’s about self-empowerment and your overall health and well-being,” she noted of the event. “It’s really great to have all of these services available in one setting.” “...And it’s (Angels Roost) is such a beautiful location. The setting itself really speaks to that kind of relaxed feel. Angels Roost continues to demonstrate support for us and we’re so grateful.” Have a personal reading in the ‘Enchanted Orchard’ with experienced card readers Lise Guignard, Leanne Dwyer and Suzanne Ritchie. Each will give 15-minute readings for $20. “(The demonstrations) provides you with the capacity to take a risk and try something,” Lee commented. “Go and do yoga and see if that’s really for you.” Visitors can also sample locally sourced homemade foods, organic teas and coffees, or explore your energy through Reiki. Live music, courtesy of Lanark Highlands’ Ali McCormick (10 a.m. to noon) and Cait Morton (1 to 3 p.m.), will filter throughout the grounds, so guests are encouraged to bring blankets
and lawn chairs to sit a spell. The craft market will feature vendors with wares ranging from homemade rugs, handmade parkas and other knitted items, to upcycled handbags, primitive signs, amber stones, jewelry and preserves, as well as artwork, pottery and natural soaps and bath products.

The eighth It can bet a bit muddy, but annual event organized by the most participants wouldn’t Kroot family will cover 42 kiwant it any other way. lometres of trails in the North Tim Ruhnke

Augusta area. Registration will be held at 10101 Jellyby Road at Rocksprings Road from 10 a.m. to noon on the 29th. Each driver and rider makes
a donation of $15; in return, each person gets to collect a five-card poker hand along the way. The top hand gets a cash prize of $100; the second- and third-best hands receive $75 and $50 respectively. Additional poker hands can be purchased. Riders who are under the age of 16 do not have to make the donation. There will be plenty of door prizes, and barbecued hamburgers and hot dogs as well as drinks, chips and baked goods can be purchased at a canteen. The event started seven years ago after a group of people who would get together and ride the trails decided to try something a little more formal. “We might as well do it for
a reason,” said Carolin Kroot. Although the inaugural poker run raised a modest amount of money (about $300), the Kroots stuck with it and the event has grown into a major undertaking. In 2014, there were about 200 participants. “It gets bigger every year,” Carolin noted. “Everybody loves their four-wheelers.” Proceeds from the 2015 poker run will go to the Brockville and District Hospice Palliative Care Service, as they did last year. More than $5,100 was donated to local palliative care after the 2014 event. The MS Society was the previous poker run charity. In total, more than $17,000 has been raised since the inaugural run.
Kroot said she has already been getting calls about this year’s event. Even if conditions are a bit dry on Aug. 29, organizers are assuring riders there is going to be mud and water on the trail. “They love it,” exclaimed Kroot, who added some participants are known to go through those sections of the trail two or three times. In addition to appreciating the ATV operators who take part in the annual rally, Kroot acknowledged the landowners who permit the use of their properties and the businesses that support the event. For more information about the ATV charity poker run, call 613-926-2577 or 613-9261796.

Network provides vital information to stroke survivors If you, or someone you care about, has had a stroke, you probably want to know where you can get more information and help. Many services are available to help people who have survived a stroke, their family members and their caregivers but finding them can be a challenge. The Stroke Network of Southeastern Ontario, in partnership with the South East Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) and the SouthEasthealthline.ca, has produced an online database of services available to people with stroke. “During discussions with stroke survivors and their families, we repeatedly heard that they wanted to learn what services were available to people with stroke,” said Gwen Brown, regional stroke community & long term care coordinator with the Stroke Network of Southeastern Ontario. “We are very fortunate to have the services of the Southeasthealthline.ca to build on. Rather than create something entirely new, we worked with the SouthEasthealthline.ca team to pull information from the existing Healthline site into a ‘microsite’ of information specific to stroke.” “It is important to provide information about resources that will help individuals and families affected by stroke to work through this tremendous life change,” continued Brown. “We often hear about the need for information related to rehabilitation, transportation, community servic-
es, psychosocial support, recreation, adapted equipment, home renovation and income assistance. This site is designed to provide information on these topics and many others through a user-friendly format.” Launched in 2013 SouthEasthealthline.ca is the Information and Referral website maintained by the South East CCAC. “The site contains listings for nearly 5000 services and continues to grow,” according to Rebecca Phillips, information and referral specialist with the South East CCAC. “We are pleased to be able to work with organizations such as the Stroke Network of Southeastern Ontario to organize the information to meet the needs of their specific populations.” “SouthEasthealthline. ca has become the go to place for information about health and community services. We are seeing roughly 28,000 visitors to the site each month. In addition to information about community services, visitors can find careers, events and health related news all in one place,” Phillips added. To access the stroke section, visit SouthEasthealthline.ca and click on the Stroke Resources button. For people without access to the internet, staff at the South East CCAC can help you access the information you need by calling 310-2222 (no area code required).

Interesting times
W
ith the federal election campaign officially beginning two Sundays ago, it is already shaping up to be an interesting race in what is now called Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston as well as in the country as a whole. There’s still plenty of time to observe political fortunes rise and/or fall at the local and national levels prior to Oct. 19. Since the deadline for nominations is not for another six-and-a-half weeks (Monday, Sept. 28), the four candidates (as of last week) in the riding formerly known as Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston could be joined by others by the time autumn arrives. This election, in particular, has a good crop of candidates who will be formidable opponents for each other on the campaign trail. Perth mayor John Fenik, who just announced he’s taking unpaid leave to focus on his campaign, earned the local New Democratic Party nomination, while climate change advocate Anita Payne of Tay Valley, will be this riding’s Green Party candidate. They are joined by incumbent Conservative Scott Reid and Liberal
Philippe Archambault. With such a diverse group, we hope it incites good discussion during upcoming all-candidates meetings. However, it would be nice to see additional candidates from the younger generation. Come up with a list of 100 electors’ signatures and a deposit of $1,000, and you could take a shot at being elected to the House of Commons. One thing is clear at this point of the 11-week campaign: it’s not safe to assume this is a safe riding for the incumbent and the governing party, and it’s also not safe to assume that a challenger will win merely on the strength of her name or her party’s surging popularity nationally. We suspect they are fully aware of the effort that will be needed to achieve success in a shifting climate that could be blowing in a completely different direction by the time Canadians vote many weeks down the line. Congratulations to those of you who are sure of the outcome of the Oct. 19 election; most of us would only be guessing, which will at least make it interesting to watch as the campaign unfolds.
Much sought after cold cream was a precious luxury Goodness knows how many times Audrey took her hanky out of the washstand drawer, untied the corner, and counted her money. There were no ways to earn money back then, and it was only through the generosity of aunts or uncles that we children had any money at all. Uncle Lou always gave us money when he came to visit, and at Christmas time Aunt Freda would send a one dollar bill which was to be divided between the five of us. My brothers showed their Bantam chickens at the Renfrew Fair earning a few pennies, but none of us had what we could call a heavy purse! But Audrey had been squirreling away her pennies for months, because she was bent on making a huge purchase when she had accumulated enough. Although

Mother and Father frowned on wasting money, we could do what we wished with whatever we were able to gather together. And for months Audrey had been talking about buying what she considered to be sheer luxury. She saw it when she was at Ritza’s Drug Store one day, and couldn’t get it out of her mind. She even dragged me into the store one Saturday, even though I was so much younger and couldn’t imagine what was so exciting about what she was about to blow all her money on!
What got her all worked up was a jar of something called Pond’s Cold Cream. It didn’t look all that special to me. The jar was almost as big as a honey pail and inside was a pale yellow cream that Audrey was sure was going to do wonders for her skin. It had been written up in a copy of Mother’s Philadelphia Enquirer and said it was being sold worldwide. It was guaranteed to make every face ‘as clean as the driven snow’. My sister had cut out the clipping, folded it, and kept it in her shoe, and every so often, she would take it out and look at it. Well, the day finally came when Audrey had enough money in the corner of her hanky to march into Ritza’s Drug Store and make her purchase. It was a

Saturday, Mother’s usual day to go into Renfrew to peddle her eggs, chickens, homemade soap and butter and Audrey routed me out of bed early to help her with her weekly chores so that she could go into town too. Mother may not have been strict with
how we spent our few pennies, but she was strict about doing our weekly Saturday morning chores! Audrey and I headed for the drug store, and went right to the counter where all the cosmetics were stacked in piles. There
were boxes of something called Tanjay and boxes of fancy soaps, and there it was! Several glass jars of Pond’s Cold Cream. Audrey picked up one of the jars, unscrewed the top and took a See MARY page 9

long breath and then passed it under my nose. It smelled like lemons and I could easily understand how the ad said it would do what it would do! Now, this was pure luxury. Never, could I ever remember of anything like that jar coming into our house out in Northcote! Audrey undid her hanky and laid out all her money on the counter. She had exactly enough to make her purchase...29 cents! And that included the brown paper bag with Ritza’s Drug Store printed in big black letters on the outside. Audrey put it right up on her half of the washstand we shared in our bedroom and shaking a finger right under my nose, forbid me to lay a finger on it.

(CUPW) tour the country with our Save Canada Post caravan, we meet eager public supporters in every community, who oppose not only the doorto-door delivery cuts, but also the other cuts like shorter hours at post offices, closing post offices in favour of franchises, and hikes in postage rates. Nobody seems to want this less-formore plan. While Maguire is among those who would lose this service, he repeats Canada Post’s stats that downplay the number of people who currently
ination to boot, those orders might as well have been given to our old rooster. I wondered. If it was said to make your face as smooth as the driven snow, would that not mean it would erase your freckles, too? I was determined to try it, but I would have to wait for just the right moment. It would never do to dig into it until Audrey had first made her mark in the jar. I didn’t have to wait long. That night she lathered it on her face, put a towel on her pillow and went to bed, convinced she would have a new face by morning. Sunday, she looked the same to me as she did every day. I decided I would just put a small dab on the end of my nose where my freckles were the thickest...and this I did when I had the bedroom to myself getting dressed for church.
I rubbed it in well and it soon vanished, but it did absolutely nothing for my freckles. I would like to say I could see a change in Audrey’s face, but for weeks of slathering on the Pond’s Cold Cream, she looked exactly the same to me, and she was 29 cents poorer. I knew then nothing, not even that wonderful smelling jar of cream was ever going to get rid of my hateful freckles. And I realized there was more truth than poetry in what old Granny Hines would say when she heard anyone complain: “be happy with what God gave you...it could be a lot worse.” Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

get home delivery. It’s actually about 2/3 when you count rural delivery and apartments and other centralized home delivery locations. But they want it to sound like 2/3 of people are already getting CMB (community mailbox) delivery, which would be a fib. Maguire’s last point is that he doesn’t want to pay for the service with tax dollars. The good news: we don’t! Canada Post is self-sufficient and profitable, and in fact it pays income taxes to the federal government on its profits. But Canada Post is trying to reach into your pockets with the door-to-door cuts by offloading
expenses. Our municipalities would be on the hook for snow clearing, and cleaning up litter and graffiti – Canada Post always says they’ll properly look after the mailbox site, but trust our experience: they don’t. Taxpayers would be paying the cost of a change that hurts seniors and people with disabilities. The Harper Conservative government backed this Canada Post plan, and we can all see that they’ll pay for that mistake on election day.

Sifting through family memorabilia healing part of grieving process It has been a difficult year for the Maguire family! After losing both our parents in a short period of seven months my three siblings and I are working our way through the grieving process. I want to make something clear at the outset. I am not trolling for sympathy. Not at all! We have had a truly unbelievable amount of support from our extended family and friends and we are so grateful for that. Mere words cannot express our thanks. The reality is that everyone goes through what we have been dealing with eventually. Death is an inevitable fact of life. To me the measure of a person’s life, whether it be long or short, is how well they lived it. Hopefully we touch other lives along the way and make some contributions to our family, our community and our country. Anyone who can say that has probably enjoyed a good life. My brother and I, along with our two sisters, realize how fortunate we are. We had the best parents possible. And we had them for such a long time. Dad and Mum were born in 1930 meaning they were both in their 85th year at the time of their passing. Long lives, well lived. I don’t think anyone can ask for more, although selfishly we wish they were still with us. I mentioned the grieving process. Everyone grieves in different ways. There is no handbook to tell us how we should react to death or how we should conduct ourselves. How we deal death is a very individual thing, as I have discovered following the loss of family members and friends throughout my lifetime. There is no doubt that losing our parents is a big blow for the majority of
people. For us their loss is keenly felt, especially considering how loving and supportive my parents were. I don’t intend to rhyme off a list of clichés. I’m sure most of you understand only too well what I am writing about this week. All of you have or will face exactly what we are currently dealing with. My mother Molly died on June 4. I mention the date only because of an incredible oddity. Her mother died on June 4 and so did her grandmother. Three generations of women from the same family dying on the same day is, at the very least, an unusual coincidence we think. My father Howard passed away last November and after 65 years of marriage my mother simply could not get over his death. Both of them had serious health problems (heart-related) in their final years which when you are over 80, is hardly surprising. But the truth is that my mother didn’t want to go on without her husband and companion of more than six decades. That’s not surprising either. Six weeks after Mum’s death my youngest sister Susan made a visit from her home in Edmonton. Sue’s visit followed by one week the arrival of her son Alexander, my parents’ youngest grandchild. Alex was here for a summer visit with his Ottawa-area relatives and in particular my sister Linda’s two grandchildren who he adores. The feeling is mutual by the way. Intriguing experience During Susan’s stay we decided the four of us would get together and spend an afternoon going through some of our
parents’ personal possessions in the ongoing effort to determine what to keep and what needs to be relegated to the dust bin. My parents downsized considerably when they moved from their house to a retirement residence two years ago. But despite the fact many of their possessions had already been disposed of or passed along to family and friends, Linda still had several large

cumbersome at a time like this. Especially if no one wants them. So despite the fact everything meant something at the time it was saved and put away, numerous things did not find a home in the end and had to be disposed of. Our own houses are already filled with personal possessions. There is only so much room. Throwing out things that belonged to your late parents can’t be taken lightly and there was a lot of back and forth before certain articles were committed to the trash.

faced us that afternoon. Sorting through it was a considerable task. We were at it for hours and it turned out to be an intriguing afternoon. I mentioned the grieving process earlier. In my opinion this particular exercise was cathartic. There is no question tears were shed that afternoon. In fact the experience prompted a variety of emotions which, fortunately, also included lots of laughter. We are lucky because our parents – especially my Dad – recorded so much of our past lives on film. We had already divided hundreds and hundreds of photographs. And my brother Randy and his wife Mary Lynne have had most of those committed to discs which can be shown on television or computer screens. On this afternoon we sorted through scores and scores of oth- Sentimentality For example, the day she was ers including many pictures I hadn’t seen in decades. As the oldest child, about to throw out my father’s prized my baby photos were prominent among them. And there were lots of Tell Someone! laughs at my expense as my brother and sisters came across pictures of the chubby cheeked baby with the big head. Big melons run in our family. I had my revenge of course. There were enough embarrassing photographs to go around let me tell you! A few years ago my parents had a spring flood in their basement. Sadly a large number of documents and various other family possessions which were stored there were not salvageable. Among the lost items were photos, report cards and other documentation from our schools years which my parents had kept. Susan and I are the most fortunate in terms of what was salvaged. During the sorting process many of our This is a great opportunity class photographs and other schoolrelated articles, including some re- to brag.

collection of baseball memorabilia during a cleaning binge. Both Major League and Minor League programs and souvenirs of all sorts were headed to the garbage when my Dad fortuitously intercepted them. I don’t think I ever saw my father that mad. He nearly blew a gasket. I have a similar story to tell. And mine didn’t end nearly as well. After I got a job and got married (in that order) and was clearly out of the house permanently, my Mum decided to dispose of or donate some of my personal items. Without asking me first! My discarded collection of Beatles’ (and Dave Clark Five) magazines and paraphernalia would be worth a small fortune today. My Hardy Boys collection went to the local library where I could at least visit it. I even-
tually forgave my mother. As it turns out I was wrong when I said my Mum wasn’t sentimental. I discovered that when we went through some of the many letters and papers she had received and kept over the years. There was envelope, after envelope, after envelope in that collection of personal papers and documentation. Every one had a special meaning to her or our father. I learned so many interesting things in reading those letters and with many more still to read I am certain there are more surprises ahead. Now the letters and papers have been divided among us and will be safely kept for the benefit of future generations of the Maguire family. A trip through your family history can be educational as well. We were
able to read letters and view cards and notes from family and friends commenting on various landmark events in the life of our family. All of the items we encountered had clearly been kept with the idea that we and others in the family would eventually see them. We had a real sense that our family history was being passed on to us for safekeeping. It was an afternoon during which my siblings and I rode something of an emotional rollercoaster. But for me at least it was a positive step forward on the road to managing all of the emotions that arise following the death of a loved one.

The vacancy rate for seniors residences decreased over the past year, reaching 8.1 per cent in 2015, compared to 8.7 per cent in 2014, according to the Seniors’ Housing Report – Canada Highlights released by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). “As was the case in 2014, the increase in the total number of spaces for seniors in 2015 was slightly outpaced by an increase in the total number of residents,” said Bob Dugan, chief economist at CMHC. “This led to a decrease in the overall vacancy rate in 2015.” The survey makes the distinction between two types of spaces: standard and non-standard spaces. Standard spaces are those occupied by a resident paying market rent and who does not receive 1.5 or more hours of care per day. A non-standard space is one in which the residents are receiving at least 1.5 hours of care per day, spaces being used for respite and non-market spaces. Submitted by the CMHC.

R0013416108/0813
The Government of Ontario announced June 29 that real estate consumers will be permitted to use electronic signatures on real estate agreements of purchase and sale (APS) as of July 1. “The agreement of purchase and sale is one of the most important documents in a real estate transaction,” said Patricia Verge, Ottawa-area realtor and president of the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA). “The ability to sign it electronically will make the process of buying or selling more efficient. This is great news for realtors as well as consumers across the province.” Electronic signatures on agreements of purchase and sale will significantly reduce the time required to process a deal. At present, agreements of purchase and sale are often faxed, scanned and emailed numerous times over the course of a transaction. “This process can be cumbersome and by the time the final version is signed, the agreement can be difficult to read,” said Verge. “The technology allows agreements to be filled out on a computer or tablet, changes can be tracked and documents can be transmitted with ease.” The government’s decision comes in the form of proclamation of a 2013 amendment to the Electronic Commerce Act, 2000 (ECA), which extended the legal protections of the Act to include electronic real estate agreements of purchase and sale. The Ministry of the Attorney General is responsible for the ECA. The ministry led the consultations and approved the final proclamation of the amendment. “Buying or selling a home is one of

Scrabble tournament to benefit Portland United Church, food bank
Pastry wars Good Vibrations gym in Smiths Falls was the scene of the inaugural Grant Dopson Memorial Fundraiser Aug. 8 to benefit Jumpstart, which provides all children with the chance to play sports.

A barbecue, kids activities, hockey skill tests and training stations were set up on the gym’s grounds. Above, from left: Joanne Oliver, Robbie-Lynn Dopson, Rachel Dopson and Molly Leach get a bit messy during a pie eating contest. Robbie-Lynn and Rachel are Grant’s granddaughters.
A fun Scrabble tournament, book sale and barbecue lunch will be held Saturday, Aug. 22 to benefit the Portland Food Bank and the Portland United Church. Show your word power! Register now. The Portland Food Bank needs our support – needs are many and donations are down. All competitors register as individual players, paying $20 per person (which will be split 50/50 between the food bank and the church). Scores will be totalled for the three games and prizes (donated by some of our local generous businesses) will be awarded to the top individuals. To add more fun, challenge three of your friends and form a group of four. If you are part of a “challenge team” you play with your team for the first game and then move on to others for the next two games. However, your individual three games’ scores will be totalled giving you “bragging rights” if you are the highest within your team. A prize will be given to the challenge team with the highest total scores. Everyone plays three 50-minute
games at tables of four, with a break of 15 minutes between each game. Each turn is limited to three minutes. The second and third games are played with different people at different tables. This is a fun tournament with little extras – such as “A Look for a Loonie” which will allow a competitor to look at the Scrabble dictionary for 30 seconds for the cost of $1. Complimentary refreshments will be available during the afternoon. Register now by going online to www.eppc-ucc.com, phone 613-2722002 or sign up in-person at Portland United Church on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Prizes of gifts or gift certificates have been donated by: Portside Boutique – Portland, The Opinicon Dining Room – Chaffey’s Locks, Forfar Dairy, Twin Pines Campground, Rideau Lakes Building Centre – Crosby, Moroni’s by the Rideau – Portland and Baker’s Feed Store – Forfar. The book sale starts at 10 a.m. and the $5 barbecue lunch (hamburger or sausage in a bun with all the fixings, and a beverage) runs 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Come out and enjoy the day!

The Cemetery Club comedy mixes laughter and tears at Studio Theatre Can a play about three dead spouses be light-hearted summer entertainment? It can if it’s Ivan Menchell’s The Cemetery Club, premiering at the Studio Theatre on Thursday, Aug. 13. The Cemetery Club revolves around a “club” of three middle aged widows, Doris, Lucille and Esther, who gather once a week to visit the graves of their recently-departed husbands, before retiring to a deli to talk about their lives. Doris remains fiercely devoted to her late husband, while Lucille is eager to start dating again – and hopefully locate a
man who will be faithful to her this time. Meanwhile, Esther isn’t ready to hit the dating scene again, until she meets Ben, a former cop turned cab driver who eases his way into her life. Esther’s new relationship with Sam inspires shock in Doris, jealousy in Lucille, and plenty of humour. Sound familiar? If you liked The Golden Girls you’ll love The Cemetery Club. Directed by theatre veteran Joan Sonnenburg, and starring Janet Rice, Grace Main, Jennifer Pfitzer, Barbara Kobolak
and Grey Masson, The Cemetery Club premieres Aug. 13 for seven performances, August 13, 14, 15, 21 and 22 at 8 p.m., and Sunday matinees Aug. 16 and 23. Tickets are $22 at The Book Nook (cash only) 60 Gore Street E., and at Shadowfax, 67 Foster St. 613-267-6817, (online at shadowfax.on.ca, phone and credit cards; a convenience fee applies). Tickets are $24 at the door, and $10 for students with ID. Be sure to visit studiotheatreperth.com for details. Submitted by Paul Joyce for the Studio Theatre.
Rabies vaccine bait drop protects public health About 25,000 baits containing rabies vaccine will be distributed near Cornwall on Aug. 15 and 16. The bait drop program is one of the most successful rabies eradication programs in North America. The vaccine will help keep raccoons in the province free of rabies. The baits will be distributed on the mainland near Cornwall. Baiting is also being done around the Niagara region. These areas are being targeted because of the presence of rabid
raccoons in New York near the Ontario border. The flavoured baits immunize most skunks, foxes and raccoons that eat them. Baits are small and khaki green, with a toll-free rabies hotline number stamped on them. If you see baits, please do not disturb them.

177th Merrickville Fair The Merrickville Fair board couldn’t have asked for better weather for the 177th edition of the Merrickville Agricultural Fair and Steam Show Aug. 7 to 9 at the village’s fairgrounds. There was plenty for the whole family to take in over the three days, including the popular demolition derby Friday evening, ATV pull, cattle, livestock and horse shows, live musical entertainment, homecraft exhibits, a midway and more. Above, Eight-year-old Rielly Brown of Smiths Falls, left, and James Billett, 6, of Prescott, became instant friends at the Merrickville Fair Aug. 9 as they bonded over their love of inflatable sword fighting. Above right, The horse shows at the 177th edition of the Merrickville Fair gave local farming families the opportunity to showcase their efforts. Above, exhibiting in the four-horse hitch category, the entry of Terry and Mary Spratt earned the blue ribbon on Aug. 9. Below, Sarah Way and daughter Maggie, 18 months, made fast friends with Clyde, a fouryear-old pot bellied pig at the petting zoo offered by The Barnyard Zoo of Winchester Springs Aug. 9 at the Merrickville Fair.

Capital Fair is the last big summer hurrah
Laurie Weir/METROLAND
Two days of fun and excitement packed the streets of Almonte Aug. 8 and 9 as the annual Puppets Up! International Puppet Festival drew thousands of visitors to town. The streets were jammed four deep in spots to watch the parade meander down Mill Street, much to the delight of all – young and old alike. Street performers, vendors, face painters, musicians – there was something for everyone, and then some. Above, Steampunk Ottawa is some 1,000 members strong. Some of them made the trek to Almonte for the festival. They include Elisabeth, Nicole, Sophie, Tim, Katherine, Professor Gustave Morbeus, Georges, Josephine, Brenda, Meagan, Christine, Victor and Kira the dog. Bottom left, Braden Arrand, 3, of Petawawa shared his hotdog with Mike Deroucher’s puppet. The Belleville puppeteer was one of several street performers delighting the children along his route. Bottom right, this parade participant’s costume was a hit with the crowd.
For the past 40 years, the Capital (formerly Gloucester) Fair has welcomed spring to the National Capital Region, bringing fun and excitement along with it. Now in its second year as the 10 day late summer event at the Rideau Carleton Raceway, the Fair promises to have something for everyone with wild and crazy outdoor monster truck shows, western horse and barrel racing shows, Eastern Ontario’s largest midway, three days of senior’s bridge tournaments, a raucous demolition derby, free daily live entertainment, a comedic hypnotist, a daily dog stunt show, Armwrestling championships, an amateur BBQ competition, a Petting Zoo and a huge kids zone among lots of other attractions. It’s is a great way to get out and have one last summer celebration with the whole family. The Fair’s signature event, the Monster Trucks on a Mission show is not your average extreme action feature. These trucks take full advantage of the outdoor venue to reach speeds and heights and perform tricks that can’t be performed in any indoor arena. With a show on Friday, August 21st, Saturday, August 22nd and Sunday, August 23rd, there’s lots of opportunity to enjoy this spectacular event. Discount tickets are available on-line (capitalfair.ca) for a limited time and at the door for only $25.00. Special combo packages are available but only on-line. They offer all day midway rides and admission to the Monster Shows. There are also VIP packages for the best seats in the house, a pit pass and autograph session. Cars and trucks will be crashing all over the fair, as the Monster Truck Show is complimented by a return of our FREE Demolition Derby on Thursday night. See our derby cars smash and crash, all to the delight of the crowd. And it won’t just be the car’s strength that will be tested. On Sunday the Ontario Championship arm-wrestling competition will push competitors to the edge. All of that outdoor fun is sure to build up a healthy appetite and barbeque is the name of the game at the Capital Fair at the D&S Southern Comfort B.B.Q. Restaurant “Smoked to the Bone” barbeque competition. The competition will pit amateur teams against each other for $1,000 in cash and prizes. Think your barbecue talents deserve glory? Why not try your hand? All you need is a BBQ. Chicken and ribs are provide with your admission. For animal enthusiasts, there are western horse barrel races on Friday and Saturday night and a full Gymkhana show on Sunday. The Kids Zone features the Bird of Prey show where families can meet eagles, owls and hawks up close and personal. See them soar overhead as the conservation team explains the habitat and challenges these species face. There’s also a petting zoo and pony rides. Also inside the Kids Tent is DooDoo, the world famous clown and his Dance Party. There’s also the Reptile Rainforest, the Kommunity Stage and the Travelin’ Farmer display where city folk can get in touch with their country cousins. Kids young and old can enjoy the World’s Finest Midway, which delivers all the best rides from summer´s past including the Cannonball, Music Express, Alien Abduction and Fireball. All-day ride passes are only $18 and include free admission to the Fair. The Capital Fair also appreciates the community it thrives in, so they give back every year the day before the fair starts with the Hydro Ottawa Special Needs Day. This year we will host over 1,500 special needs children to a private party where legions of Hydro Ottawa volunteers help move children to and from World’s Finest Midway rides and then off to a hotdog and ice cream lunch in the Hydro Ottawa food tent. Entertainment, Karaoke and a Petting Zoo, courtesy of Monalea Petting Zoo, round out what is the best day of the year for many of these children. So come check out all that the fair has to offer!

A Little Princess opens this week at the Station Theatre After months of rehearsal, A Little Princess, the much-anticipated new musical created by the talented team of William Brooke (book), Eric Rockwell (score) and Margaret Rose (lyrics) opens this week on the stage of the Station Theatre. The musical was originally produced by the Sacramento Theatre Company, Michael Lunn, producing director. The Smiths Falls Community Theatre is privileged to be given the Canadian premiere rights to produce this delightful script based on the well-loved novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Burnett is best known for her children’s books published just before and after the turn of the 19th century. The play will be performed from Thursday, Aug. 13 to Sunday, Aug. 23. A Little Princess is the story of a young girl’s struggle between life’s harsh reality and the world of imagination. It also tells how the value of hope and friendship can magically transform a life, even when one is grown and become used to being solitary. When Sara has to confront the news of the death of her father she uses her ability to create a story for her life challenges and convinces herself that it is not true. While she accepts her changed situation at the school, she remains confident that she will see her father again. Her

From left: Juliet Alfaro (Sara Crewe), Garrett Pipher (Ram Dass), Susan Parsons (Miss Minchen), Todd Daniluk (Captain Crewe) and Nathan Matthews (Constable). newfound school friends, some of whom resent her at first, end up doing their part to assist her in adapting to her humiliating new status. Despite the seeming sadness of Sara’s situation, the show is full of humour, hope and reflection. The catchy and memorable score and accompaniment is expertly managed by Rowena Pearl, who wowed audiences during the production of The Railway Children. Full of witty, charming and memorable music, the story is sure to tug at the heartstrings. This is a wonderful show for young and old, residents of the area, and tourists.
Director Lynda Daniluk has assembled a talented cast that has worked hard to display the polished level of performance the show deserves. From learning the lyrics and music, to adapting to how people behaved more than a hundred years ago, there is much to master. The large cast – with plenty of splendid roles for up-and-coming local youngsters and veteran adult actors alike – has by all accounts done just that. Sara Crewe (“The Little Princess,” played by Juliet Alfaro) is a spunky, resilient and creative 12-year-old who learns to adapt to a most diffi-
cult life in a strict boarding school where she has been placed by her globetrotting father. This is Juliet’s acting debut, but she is no stranger to the arts. She is a grade seven Honour roll student at Kars On The Rideau Public School with a passion for drawing, writing, singing and playing the piano. Juliet was the recipient of the graduating Arts Award while at North Gower Marlborough Public School. The three other principals in the musical are: Todd Daniluk (Sara’s father, Captain Crewe); Susan Parsons (the boarding school proprietress, Miss Minchen) and Garrett Pipher (the show’s narrator, Ram Dass). Todd is a ten-year acting veteran of Smiths Falls Community Theatre dating back to his first role in town as Detective Sergeant Troughton in Run for Your Wife. Most recent notable roles include Dr. Sloper in The Heiress and Porthos in The Three Musketeers. Susan Parsons (Miss Minchin) appeared in Camelot in 2012 and Humbug in 2013. Among her other credits are: a Music CD in 2014 (currently working on a second), Finalist in “Voice on the Rideau” competition, Westport 2013 and 2014, and a Gold Medal for Grade 3 Speech Arts 2012 (Royal Conservatory). Garrett Pipher as Ram Dass provides many of the broadest laughs in
the production. Garrett has been acting for eight years.

“Talented singer, actress and entertainer” is how show business pros describe Canada’s tribute queen, Amberley Beatty. For years, her spine-tingling re-creation of the legendary Patsy Cline in concert has filled theatres from the eastern United States to northern Ontario. Honkytonk Gal, her new tribute to Loretta Lynn, simply enhances Amberely’s reputation as a world-class entertainer. Loretta Lynn is called “the first lady of country music” because of her unique ability to communicate with country music fans. Her no-nonsense approach to subjects like alcoholism, infidelity and personal loss speaks clearly and honestly to regular people, in terms anyone can understand. Her vast body of work, covering more than six decades, is what Beatty describes as “an inspiration gold mine”. That gold mine inspired the intrepid Beatty to create Honkytonk Gal, her mesmerizing new tribute show, showcasing the most popular and bestloved of Loretta Lynn’s songs. The show’s name was borrowed from Honkytonk Girl, Lynn’s first record, released in February 1960. Amberley’s powerful voice

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s 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 You’re very good at marching to the beat of a different drummer, Aries. But keep in mind that sometimes it’s advantageous to follow along with what others are doing. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you hope that others appreciate what you are doing for them this week. You may not get a verbal thank-you, but expect some to show their appreciation in other ways. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, many people are willing to lend you a helping hand when you need one. Make the most of their generosity, and then give back whenever possible. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, enjoy the fruits of your labor this week. You worked hard, and now is a great time for you to rest, relax and catch up with some old friends. Good times are ahead. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, leave room for others to share their opinions after expressing your own. It never hurts to see another’s point of view, and a loved one’s opinion may prove enlightening. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, a heavy workload may force you to regroup and start over next week when you have more energy and inspiration. This is just a temporary setback.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, now is the time for a change, however big or small that change ultimately may be. You may benefit from adoptiong a new hobby or changing careers. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Your life can’t always be a bundle of excitement, Scorpio. Sometimes you have to sit back and enjoy those periods that are not so on-the-go. Relish in the slower pace. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, others are looking to you for advice this week. Give any inquiry the thoughtful consideration it deserves, doing your best to take others’ concerns to heart. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, even if you have a million ideas running through your head, push them aside in favor of some much-needed rest. You need to take some time for yourself. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, embrace the coming days as a chance to distinguish yourself at work. Extra work presents an opportunity to put your value to the company on display. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Romance is in the air, Pisces. Enjoy this exciting time and take things slowly at first. Enjoy the slow pace and get to know your new love interest. 0813

Local community partners helping to prevent deaths from overdose from opioid overdose in Ontario than people killed in motor vehicle collisions. The province of Ontario is the highest consumer of opioids in Canada. The growing concerns and alarming rise in opioid overdoses (463 per cent from 2000-2013 are affecting all communities from the largest cities to the smallest towns and villages, including Leeds, Grenville and Lanark. With several deaths over the past 18
months here in the tri-county area, the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit, along with community partners are working diligently to raise awareness about overdoses happening in our community. One of the many calls for action to improve opioid safety and reduce the number of fatal overdoses happening in the province is to expand the access to the lifesaving drug Naloxone. Nalox-
one is recommended by the World Health Organization as an essential medicine that (temporarily) reverses an opioid overdose. Like epinephrine (e.g., EpiPen); it is a proven lifesaver during a medical emergency. The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark Health Unit now offers Naloxone kits to eligible individuals through the Revive Overdose Response program. Revive is offered at all six sites of the

WALKER - In loving memory of a dear husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather, Delbert Walker, who passed away on August 16, 1983. In tears we watched you fade away, Our hearts were almost broken, You fought so hard to stay, But when we saw you sleeping, So peacefully free from pain, We could not wish you back, To suffer that again. Though your smile is gone forever, Your hands we cannot touch, But we have so many memories, Of the one we loved so much. Your memory is our keepsake, From which we’ll never part. God has you in His keeping, And we have you in our hearts. So those who have a husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather cherish them with care, Because you’ll never know the heartache, Until you see his empty chair. Sadly missed and forever remembered by wife Doris Daughters Marjorie and Merle Sons Charlie, Harold, Tim and Randy Several Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren

Emmanuel Anglican Church, Hwy 15, Portland Scott J. Millar Dec. 17, 1969 – Aug. 16, 2006 It is hard to believe that August 16th marks the 9 year anniversary of your death. An anniversary that no one wants to celebrate or should have to. It was the day you were taken from us. Death, is just so final... no second chance. My mind will wander and I start thinking out loud. Where would we be today and what would we be doing? The answers to my questions will always be the same. Together, holding hands, in love and a happy family. The heartache can sneak up on me so fast and it can hurt so much I want to scream. But wishing you back are always empty wishes, wishes that can never be granted... no second chance. I put my foot in front of the other to move forward, but at times it seems that I’m going backwards. Everyday is a lifetime without you. All I ever wanted was a lifetime with you... no second chance. Wyatt is so special and growing up so fast. He is a lot like his Daddy, so many great qualities. You would be so proud. Our son misses you, misses you every day. We all miss you Scott. You were a Daddy, a husband, a son and a friend. You were loved and will always be loved. Love never forgets. Love Sharon and Wyatt xxxooo xxxooo

Tourism campaign challenges operators to think like a visitor Sometimes, you find yourself in the middle of nowhere, and sometimes, in the middle of nowhere, you find yourself. Inspired by this quote, and its ability to resonate with urban city dwellers looking to slow the pace and disconnect, the Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization (OHTO) has launched a new high-impact, experiential summer campaign, welcoming visitors to the region to experience their perfect “nowhere moment”. The campaign has captured the region’s attention with its bold visitor-centric approach and cheeky messaging, inspiring both interest and criticism from residents, city councillors and local businesses. “Currently, our region is the least known and least visited in Ontario and in order to make an impact in the marketplace with our limited resources, we knew we had to come up with a way to break away from the same-ness of traditional tourism marketing that promotes things to see and do in a destination,” says Nicole Whiting, OHTO’s executive director. “The first place we looked for inspiration was at destinations that were able to achieve this, and what we found was they had two things AUCTIONS
in common. First, they intimately understood the visitors they were trying to attract and second, they developed their marketing message based on how these visitors wanted to feel when they visited a destination.” She goes on to state, “Our target audience are folks that spend their days in gridlock, commuting hours to and from work every day, only to come home and have to be somewhere again. When this audience makes their travel decisions, they don’t want to be somewhere, they want to be nowhere for a moment. To slow the pace, actually have conversations with people, have space to clear their mind and connect with their loved ones. Our region offers this in spades and it’s because we are considered nowhere to them that makes this region so attractive.” Still, when the OHTO presented the campaign concept at stakeholder sessions held across the region in April, it took some time for operators to warm up to the idea. “We knew it would be challenging for those who live and work in the region to embrace a concept that is contrary to their own perspectives,” says Whiting. “There

is a tremendous amount of pride in our communities and it was difficult for them to set aside their own opinions and put themselves in the minds of our visitors. But when we walked them through what we know about the visitors we are trying to attract and described the experience they are looking for, we found most of the operators who initially had negative views of the campaign came around and saw the opportunities this bold approach offers.” And visitors are already taking notice. The OHTO is seeing robust participation in two contests anchored around the #NowhereMoment theme, which offers social media followers a chance to win “nowhere moment” prizing and a custom trip to Ontario’s Highlands valued at $1,500 for sharing their own #NowhereMoment submissions. “Effective marketing is all about generating conversations, and we knew the audience would jump at the chance to share their perfect ‘nowhere moment’ and end up describing exactly what Ontario’s Highlands has to offer,” says Marc Whitehead, senior strategist of KARO Group, the awardwinning agency that developed the

campaign for the OHTO. And it’s not just consumers taking notice. Travel media are also responding to the innovative messaging, most recently at a Travel Massive event held in Toronto on May 28, where the campaign was called “genius” by urban travel bloggers. “The idea of ‘going nowhere’ is very appealing to me,” says Will Tang, author of Going Awesome Places blog. “Sometimes, I just want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city – to slow down and disconnect by wandering the unknown. I didn’t realize Ontario’s Highlands had so many jewels to discover, and I look forward to re-energizing in the region this summer and sharing with my followers how they can enjoy every moment to the fullest.” The OHTO offers a variety of ways for operators to join the conversation and link into promotional opportunities, including submitting to the OHTO ideas on how visitors can experience their ‘nowhere moment’ with them.

New Highlands fire chief divides week with Bonnechere Valley Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
Have you ever seen a fire chief wearing two firemen’s hats? You will in Lanark Highlands Township. Well, figuratively at least. Cameron Morehouse was appointed as the new, part-time, interim fire chief in the Highlands after council decided not to renew the contract of former chief Rod Black, who was the former deputy chief from Carleton Place’s Ocean Wave Fire Company. “I’m wearing two hats for a while,” said Morehouse during a telephone interview on Thursday, Aug. 6. He started work in Lanark on July 23, but had already taken up duties as the fire chief for Bonnechere Valley in the Eganville area in September. For now, “I’m still living just outside of Prescott.” Whenever he is up in Bonnechere Valley he is able to stay with family in Petawawa for three to four days a week. He’s enjoying being in Lanark since “it’s a change, sleeping in my own bed!” His contract up north is for 30 hours of work per week, so he will be spending two days, and some nights every week in the Highlands during his fourmonth contract here. His immediate priority is to do “what we can do to make this department better,” and he won’t let his contracted hours get in the way of doing that. “I’m not the kind of guy that looks at the clock. I work until I get it done.” He was born in Bristol, Connecticut (headquarters of the ESPN sports network, he says with glee), but was raised in Vermont, closer to his extended fam-

He first joined the North Grenville Fire Service in Kemptville in 1988 and served as a volunteer firefighter for 12 years. But, with three children at home,

“I decided to take some time away. I took a leave of absence so I could.” He said he preaches to all of his volunteers that while firefighting is important, it is not the most important thing in life.
“Your family has to come first, your employer second, your fire department third,” he tells volunteers. As for his work life, he started out as a truck driver for W.O. Stinson, and worked his way up to sales. “(I had) a pretty good career there,” he said. “Can’t complain.” After his children had grown, however, he found himself home alone one day and he asked himself a question: “What am I going to do with my time?” He answered that he had really loved being a firefighter, so he signed up with the Augusta Fire Department, headquartered in Maitland, where he served for more than six years. He rose to become the chief fire prevention officer and the deputy chief. In time, however, a chance for change would present itself when Bonnechere Valley posted an ad for a fire chief. He had already applied “everywhere” and signed up for what some might see as a daunting task, in that he is now that department’s fifth chief in four years. “They were having all sorts of problems,” he said, but, already, he is seeing a “change in attitude” at headquarters in Eganville and elsewhere. “We have really changed the fire department there,” he said, in part because of “buy in from the firefighters.” Right now, the Lanark Highlands department is also undergoing an evaluation, which will lead to the compilation of a report due to be presented to township council at the end of November. “I will try to implement the changes that I see (need to be done) to carry on,” he said. While he has only been on the job a few weeks, when asked what some

of the issues were that he had already observed, he refused to be drawn. “I’d rather not say, but, every department has issues,” he said. As for his report, “it will be up to council to buy in.” His predecessor, Rod Black, had told council that bringing his firefighters up to the level of training they needed to be at was crucial – but that they were in a similar situation to most other volunteer fire departments across the province. “That’ll be part of it,” Morehouse said of the training, in bringing his firefighters up to North American standards. “It’ll be a couple of years before we get…settled. We have to do a lot of hands-on (training).” On Aug. 5, he went out on his first call with his firefighters, for a motor vehicle collision (MVC). Ironically, his first call in Bonnechere Valley was also an MVC. Nobody was hurt in either incident. “They all worked away,” he said of his Highlands’ crew. “A good call to start off my career.” He has met 25 firefighters so far, at a meeting held earlier last week, and “I will be doing some road trips” to five fire stations (Lanark Village, Middleville, McDonalds Corners, Tatlock, and White Lake) and three sub-stations (Robertson Lake, Joe’s Lake, and Watsons Corners.) “It’s a huge footprint,” he said of the 1,033 square kilometres of space that the Highlands covers. “I love my job,” he said, and adds that council need not worry: “I won’t run out on them.” As for his firefighters, he has a message for all of them: “My doors are always open. I’m here for you.”

ity),” said Callan, who donated 12 inches of her hair to make wigs, at the age of 13. Downing’s arrival at Camp Quality was a little more hurried in 2014 – she only found out about the opportunity a week before the deadline, but, appropriately enough, she heard about it at a Relay for Life breakfast. “It really suited me,” said Downing. “I loved the idea of being a camp leader.” Callan got the same camper as last year, but Downing was switched up – with a sibling of her 2014 camper. Downing, 20, just graduated from St. Lawrence College in Kingston in the
community and justice services program, while Callan, 19, is heading to the very same college to study in the child and youth worker program. For Downing, she enjoys “finding things that they (the campers) really enjoy,” like the handshake she created with her buddy. “She really likes that,” she said with a smile. “Even the silliest things, that, they will hold on to.” “We call it a big family,” added Callan. Pam Mooney, the camp’s co-director notes that “we always say ‘It’ll change your life,’” when she is talking to new buddies. Callan agrees. “I tear up on the way home,” afterwards, she said, because she has just been “part of something so great.”
As students prepare to move into shared or rented accommodations to attend college or university, parents, guardians and students themselves should take an active role in finding a safe place to live. It is essential for caregivers and students to talk about fire and life safety. Whether returning to school or leaving home for the first time, a discussion about good fire safety practices can help to ensure this exciting time in a student’s life is not marred by a fire tragedy.

Health unit expects decision on ‘abortion pill’ by next month The health unit will likely make a decision by mid-September about whether or not it will provide patients with the controversial new “abortion pill,” RU486, or if they will simply refer patients to doctors and clinics will administer the pill. “(It will be) mid-September before we know our ability for our clinics to offer it,” said Susan Healey, communications coordinator for the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville Health Unit, based in Brockville. “We haven’t really figured what we are going to be doing with it and if we will be giving it out at our clinics.” Health Canada approved the use of the medical-abortion drug RU-486, also known as mifepristone, at the end of July. Nearly 60 countries, like the United States, Australia, and many European countries, have already approved the drug for use. The drug is used to termi-

nate pregnancies at between seven and nine weeks. In the interim, as the health unit makes its decisions, for women looking at their own options, “they can talk to
our public health nurses about that kind of thing.” While the health unit’s sexual health clinics do provide condoms and other forms of birth control, as well as treatments for sexually transmitted diseases, “it may be a little too early to tell how we would interact with that. There is a lot of medical directive involved. Making it available in our clinics is a more involved procedure. We have a very specific directive on when we do things and do not do things.” Healey said that whenever there is “any new information about sexual health, our people are right on top of it.” Meanwhile, the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital has no plans to prescribe the pill. “No,” said Bev McFarlane, the hospital’s president and chief executive officer, during a telephone interview on Tuesday, Aug. 11. “That pill in particular, it is not an acute care medication.”
That manner of medication would be prescribed “between a patient and a physician,” she said, either a family doctor or at a clinic. “It… wouldn’t be prescribed in a hospital setting.” Of the two hospital sites, only Smiths Falls handles maternity cases, and abortion procedures are not performed there, McFarlane said. The health unit has several sexual health clinics throughout the region: * Almonte, 79 Spring St., Tuesdays from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. (closed noon to 1 p.m.) * Brockville, 458 Laurier Blvd., Mondays from 1 to 5 p.m. (drop-in) and Thursdays from 2:30 to 7 p.m. (dropin). * Carleton Place, 351 Bridge St. (former Carambeck Public School), Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. (dropin). * Gananoque, 375 William St. S., Wednesdays from 1 to 3:30 p.m.

Boldt seeks help for taxi driver with unfortunate name Desmond Devoy

name is even close to a convicted criminal has to be fingerprinted in order to prove that, no, they may share a name – or close to it – but that they are not in fact the criminal. And all this at a cost of $25 per year, every year. Boldt said that he spoke with Insp. Derek Needham, the OPP
detachment commander for Lanark County, but he was told that “if the vulnerable sector check requires fingerprinting to be done, there is nothing we can do.” Boldt charged that this was an “undue cost or charge that no one else in our taxi fleet has to go through.” He proposed that there
were three options open to council to help the driver out: * Waive the driver’s annual renewal fee; * Change the vulnerable sector check to every three or four or five years; or, * Reimburse the driver for the annual $25 fingerprinting.
Acting Mayor John Gemmell said that he wanted to see the check kept to at least three years. Chief administrative officer John deRosenroll said that the issue should be studied by staff, and a report written, which will be presented to council in September.

A Perth town councillor is hoping to level the playing field for a taxi driver whom he says faces yearly fingerprinting – because his name (which wasn’t released) is similar enough to that of a convicted criminal, that his
name keeps getting red flagged. “Our current bylaw states that you have to go through a vulnerable sector check every year in order to keep your taxi licence,” said Coun. Jim Boldt during Perth town council’s committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 4. However, those whose

Incoming Salvation Army majors look to meet region’s needs sroy@perfprint.ca
Majors Owen and Sharon Rowsell plan to live their ministry at their new Salvation Army posting by working on the ground with local communities and providing a glimpse of God’s light through service. “We have a desire to reach out to people,” said Owen Rowsell. “The only way forward is together.” The Rowsells arrived at the Smiths Falls church July 1 and have spent the last month becoming familiar with the many programs, staff and volunteers that keep everything in motion. “It’s a beautiful town, we love it,” Sharon added. “We found the people here at the church have been very friendly.” The Mississippi-Rideau Lakes Corps serves communities across Lanark County, and as far away as Seeley’s Bay with programs that include a food pantry, social services and emergency assistance. The Rowsells are no stranger to meeting the needs of those in crisis. The couple has operated The Booth Centre in Brantford, which offers emergency shelter for men and community meals. Their last posting was in Grand Falls-Windsor, NFLD, where an aging population meant performing 103 funerals in three years. “That’s a very important part of ministry is being with people and helping them through their grieving process,” said Sharon. Locally, they are turning their attention to the upcoming Kettle Campaign that will kick off this Christmas season. They aim to continue with the corps’ objective of inviting families into the church community, which Owen admitted, is no easy task

for any faith organization. “I think that’s a challenge you’re always going to face,” he said. Last weekend the Salvation Army Church re-instated Vacation Bible School after a 10-year break in hopes of introducing a younger generation to the word of God. The program, known as God’s Great Outdoors, ran Aug. 7 and 8 at the Smiths Falls church and welcomed participants ages four to eight. “We have one focus and that’s to present the gospel. We hope the church is a safe haven,” Owen said. Providing a break from the storm of life is something the Rowsells have offered their congregation at each site they have served in, though some more directly than others. The couple was in Halifax during the 2004 blizzard that saw 90 cm of snow fall on the city in one day. Their term also saw Hurricane Juan tear through the city in 2003 leaving many, including themselves and their addictions program without power.
I feel pretty good so I must have a healthy spine. Is this true Dr Murphy? Many people, when it comes to healthcare, base their decisions on the question ‘how do I feel?’ In a scientific World, there is a very clear delineation between right and wrong; these are the laws of life. Gravity, energy, motion, life and death are all very clear laws. None of these laws are dependent on how I ‘feel’ about them. The World Health Organization definition of health is: A state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease, infirmity or pain. The pursuit of good health is always dependent on the laws of life, not on how we feel. As a Chiropractor, I want my patients to feel well, but more importantly, I want them to function well. I often think about this example - A doctor asked a woman in a wheel chair if she would like to have no pain and be confined to her wheelchair, or, would she prefer to get up and walk knowing she may have some pain for the rest of her life? The woman picked the second choice every time she was asked, which reveals that people can
tolerate pain as long as they are functioning well. When you are assessing if you are healthy, make sure you know the laws of life... Your body needs clear nerve control to have health and to function well. This is a law. Your muscles need clear nerve control to contract and relax normally. This is a law. Your organs need proper nerve control to function normally. This is a law. A proper nerve connection in the body is established through a healthy spine. Movement to the spine itself is the only way to keep the spine healthy. Chiropractors help you improve your health by improving the function of your spine. Be sure you base your good health on the laws of life and not on the way you may feel. If you are unsure, please contact a chiropractor today and book a spinal exam. Blessings, Dr Murphy R0013392702/0730
“We were on the ground steady. We cooked a lot of soup,” recalled Owen. The army’s one emergency vehicle was on the road from 4 a.m. to 1 p.m. each day ensuring residents, emergency workers and hydro crews were kept warm and fed during the crisis. The demand was so large the Rowsells began to use whatever they could find to make soup as the days wore on, which ended up getting rave reviews from those served. “It was a mixture of anything so we called it Juan Gone Soup,” quipped Sharon. Owen’s position as Emergency and Disaster Director,
Maritime Division brought him to the most desperate needs at home and abroad. When Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans in 2005 Owen was tasked with putting together crews to go over and help until the day head office called asking for him to pack a bag and head there. While in New Orleans, Owen witnessed a loss unlike anything he had seen before, while at the same time seeing the spirit and resilience of humanity in full swing. “I’ve never seen people so thankful,” he added. “It changed your life forever.” Both majors come from a family tradition three generations long of service to
the Salvation Army. The Rowsells were commissioned into service in June 1978 from the Disciples of Jesus session and began their careers in Newfoundland. They are planning to cap off a 37-year career with the army after their term at the Mississippi-Rideau Lakes Corps.

The Giant Pink Bag
ecently I was at a meeting and someone asked if I had any cookies in my rather enormous purse. I didn’t, but I found a notebook, sunscreen, a karate belt and some Advil amid the standard items (wallet, glasses case, keys and phone). When I was a kid, I remember my mom and my grandmother changing purses with the seasons – white for summer, black or brown for the rest of the year. I’m not nearly so precise. I tend to find a purse I like and use it until it wears out. This girl is just not very fancy. The purse I choose usually has two requirements: it has to be the right size (which, as you will see, is subject to change) and it must have at least one outside pocket where I can stick my keys and phone. The need for the pocket never changes, but sometimes the required size does. For a long time I used a purse that was just big enough for my wallet, glasses case and a few other very small items. One day, though, I found myself heading to a meeting on a rainy day. I needed to take a camera, a file folder and a notebook. Rather than juggle multiple items in the rain, I decided I needed to amalgamate things. So I raced to my closet and dug out the Giant Pink Bag. This is a big ol’ purse that easily accommodates all of the above, so I was happy. Now, you know what they say about having more space. Whether it’s a bigger house or a bigger purse, eventually you’ll probably just end up filling it with stuff that you don’t need. This seems to be true. In fact, you know how there is ongoing speculation about what the Queen carries in her purse? It might be easier to ask me what I DON’T carry in mine. On any given day, in addition to the aforementioned items, you will likely find in my Giant Pink Bag the karate belt, a book, sunscreen, a water bottle, Bandaids and an Austin Mini Cooper. Okay, not the Mini, but the rest is true. It’s no wonder I have back pain. In fact, recently, I started carrying back pain meds in the Giant Pink Bag, too. So if you take the Giant Pink Bag

on vacation, it gets even more interesting. Let’s just say you make a visit to a popular attraction on a hot day. Well, to be thrifty, you’re probably going to want to pack enough water bottles in your purse for the family, not to mention some snacks. Girlchild will ask you to stash her camera in the bag. You might even get to carry an iPad and an extra bottle of sunscreen because the other one is running out. At some point – a couple of hours into the excursion – you are likely to ask all the family members to please take the water bottles. Water bottles are surprisingly heavy. A mom sporting a Giant Pink Bag is really an invitation for people to ask for her to carry their junk. The clever thing to do would be to charge a fee. “OK, I’ll carry all of your electronics and the things you bought, but my fee is $5 for every 10 minutes.” Or maybe I should charge by the pound. My Giant Pink Bag made has made me think fondly of the days when I had to push a stroller. I loved to take the kids for walks in the stroller, but I absolutely loathed trying to push it through crowded venues. The only consistently positive thing about the stroller was that it had a handy place to stash stuff – the diaper bag, the spare jackets, the umbrellas, the water bottles, snacks and the Austin Mini. Okay, everything but the Mini. Maybe I should get a stroller to push around my Giant Pink Bag instead. I could strap the bag in the main part and use the storage space for something else. Groceries? Or maybe I should get a Giant Pink Trolley. I can’t remember exactly why the Giant Pink Bag was stashed in my closet after the last time I used it, but I suspect it might have been to prevent debilitating back pain. For now, I can’t decide whether I should hire someone to carry my purse or simply downsize. The former sounds more fun.

Funny how a cat can change a curmudgeon
I
hated cats. I was a dog person. German shepherds were my thing. Cats? No way… They demand attention, but only when they want it. They get hair all over my clothes and require constant feeding and litter box cleaning. They hardly ever greet me when I come home from work. They never come when I call them. In short, they are big pains in the butt. When my friend, Kathy, had a pregnant stray cat dumped off at her country home – this is at least 10 years ago, so I am blaming her because it’s when this whole cat thing started – she was trying to find homes for the kittens even before they were born. I’ll admit, it was a beautiful orange and white, long-haired beauty, but she (Kathy or the cat!) wasn’t sucking me in with those doe eyes. No way. I told Kathy the only way I’d take a kitten was if she had a tabby with
LAURIE WEIR Weir View green eyes. And wouldn’t you know it – there were about three kittens in this litter from what I remember. A couple orange and white ones like their mother, and a darned tabby. I prayed that when the little mite was old enough to open its eyes they were not green. Yup… they were green. I was sunk. I visited my friend often and watched the little fur balls grow into eight-week-old balls of cuteness. I lined up a vet, and kitten proofed my apartment so I was set for my new baby. Yes, I had grown quite fond of the little beast, who I named Kobe. Well, little Kobe did eventually greet me at the door when I came home from work. And I taught her to play fetch – I kid you not.

favourite places in the tiny apartment were hanging out on top of my bedroom door (not sure how she got up there) or on the top of the refrigerator. I had Kobe until I moved to Kingston a few years later, and she was lost in the wild when my soonto-be-husband-and-sooner-to-beex-husband let her out the kitchen door. I was mortified, and still haven’t forgiven him. He tried to console me by bringing home another tabby cat – this guy was male and we got him from the shelter. He grew to be a monster cat; a gentle giant. He loved to be outside… not cuddled up with me while I read a book with my morning coffee. Rocky, as we called him, didn’t come home one day. So off we went, back to the shelter and got yet another tabby cat, Rikki, who liked our neighbour’s children better than us. He wasn’t long for our home either. I gave up on the cats, just like I

Don’t Wait Until Dark for Wait Until Dark The Classic Theatre Festival has launched its gave up on the husband, and moved back to Mom’s place – second show of the season, Wait Until Dark. I much to her chagrin, I’m sure. I was working at the time as a may have a relatively good connection to the show sports writer at The Gananoque Reporter. That’s when I heard the faintest meowing sounds coming this year, but it’s given me a glimpse into just from a few doors down from the newsroom. Had I not heard his cries, he would have perished in the walls of the lunchroom, where after ripping off the paneling, we found a newborn kitten huddled in the insulation just hours (or days) old. We bundled him up in a towel and took him to the Gananoque Humane Society, where they nursed him through the trauma of his birth. They neutered and micro-chipped him as well as gave him all his shots and he was up for adoption in about two months. When I saw the cat’s picture in that week’s paper, I just had to have a look at him, you know, up close and personal. I wanted to see how he fared. (I have to hand it to the wonderful volunteers, not just at the Gananoque Humane Society, but to all those who work for the betterment of the animals. God bless you all!) This cat brought tears to my eyes. He had grown into a sleek Tuxedo cat. His markings were that of a deck of cards – a heart under his chin, a diamond on his chest, and when his little white paws were close together, they looked like clubs. He also had a spade on his belly. I thought it was kismet as I used to be a card dealer at the Gananoque casino before I went back to the newspaper. I called him Blackjack. Now, he just gets ‘Jack’. He’s five this month.

For years, Lanark County has discussed the concept of bike-friendly roads and how, in the long run, they’re possibly better for the roads’ department budget. You may have noticed how Franktown Road (County Road 10), between Perth and Highway 15 has been resurfaced and the paved section is wider. It makes for more bike-friendly roads and these ‘bike lanes’ are better in that snow plows aren’t scraping away the gravel shoulder as much and thus reduce maintenance costs.

The Lanark County Community Justice Program, based in Perth, has seen a 12 per cent increase in demand for its services in the past year – with the numbers already climbing for this year. During a presentation to Perth town council’s committee of the whole on Tuesday, Aug. 4, the program’s executive director, Beth Peterkin, said that there were 47 referrals for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014. For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015, that number had gone up to 53. And, already, at the mid-way point in this summer, she anticipated that, by March 2016, they will have surpassed the 12 per cent rise in demand posted last year. Out of last year’s numbers, 74 people in Perth were referred to them for help, meaning Perth cases took up 27 per cent of the overall total number of cases from across Lanark County and Smiths Falls. (Overall, 80 per cent of cases referred to them involve youth, kids aged 12 to 17, while the remaining 20 per cent are adult cases, those aged 18 and over.) “We’ve all done the wrong thing,” explained Brian Peters, a member of the program’s board of directors, whether it has been a run-in with the law, or, trouble at school. And getting called down to the principal’s office is very akin to appearing in front of a judge, in Peters’ eyes. In a court setting, “the focus is on talking, presenting evidence… the focus is on the offender. The victim says very little.” As such, there is “very little opportunity for repentance” from the offender. When it comes to punishment, “the focus is on guilt and blame and evidence. It is not on people and relationships.” He admitted that “we, as adults, get frustrated with kids’ behaviour,” but that “young people need to feel like they belong somewhere,” which is why, when a student is suspended from school, they tend to drift towards a circle of fellow misdirected youth. With the restorative justice circles they organize, “they face each other,” victim and perpetrator. “It’s a hell of a lot harder to face the people they have impacted,” he said of the perpetrator. In the circle, similar to a First Nations sentencing circle, “the focus is not on meting out punishment. Victims’ needs need to be put first.” For both parties, the circle is “safe and it’s scripted,” with the questions known in advance, such as, “What were you thinking at the time?” and “Who has been affected by what you have done?” and, the penultimate question, “What do you think you need to do to make things right?” “Everyone has a chance to speak,” said Peterkin. “There is always a lot of hurt that has happened.” And when the offender has a chance to weigh in on their punishment, “kids will actually offer to do more than need to be done…
they understand the impact.” The program is run with confidentiality in mind, and “schools have referred cases to us that they feel they can’t handle,” she said. Cases can also be referred by the police (pre-charge), and Crown attorneys (pre-charge). The case will only go to the group if the accused person takes responsibility for the crime, and, in most cases, if the victim/complainant, agrees to participate. The offences tend to be anything from vandalism to bullying, sexting to mischief, break and enter to shoplifting. For Peterkin, the numbers speak for themselves. There is only a one to two per cent recidivism rate with the community justice system, while there is a 30 per cent recidivism rate for the criminal justice system. “That tells a story in itself,” said Peterkin. The time it takes to resolve a case is also noteworthy. The community justice system can resolve a case between 30 and 90 days, while the criminal justice system averages nine months. The program is, frankly, a bargain, when one considers the savings that are brought in through volunteer labour. The program has about 47 volunteer facilitators, who contribute more than 2,000 volunteer hours per year. Were those volunteers to be paid minimum wage for those hours, it would cost about $24,200 a year. The program’s total budget is for $93,000, of which: • $56,000 goes to two part-time staff wages; • $20,700 goes to rent, insurance, and audits; • $12,300 volunteer and forum expenses; and, • $4,000 in training costs. There are other savings to the criminal justice system. Peterkin estimated that her group saves about eight hours of police time each year, three hours of time for the Crown attorney, court time and costs (at an average seven court appearances per case), and so on. At 53 cases per year, it is believed that $220,000 was saved in justice costs last year alone through this program. “Anyway we can unclog our court system…is a good news story,” said Coun. Jim Boldt. Most of their funding, about 70 per cent, comes from the attorney general’s ministry, but they need to apply annually for this money. The United Way also provides assistance, but this also requires annual applications. They make about $10,000 a year on fundraising, but this costs staff time, while the remainder of the budget comes from donations and grants. “That one per cent recidivism rate sure caught my eye,” added Coun. Jim Graff, who also sits on the town’s police services board. “We are concerned about bringing down our calls for service,” he said. To this, Peterkin replied, “We are saving policing costs.”

What’s the worst health problem that can happen to you? I’m sure many readers would say cancer, stroke or Alzheimer’s Disease. I agree these are all frightful diseases. But there’s another one that occurs gradually as we age. It’s called Sarcopenia ( the loss of muscle mass), and this creeping frailty forces many elderly into nursing homes because their muscles are so weak they can no longer get off the toilet. A recent report from Tufts University in Boston says, sarcopenia robs Dr. Gifford-Jones people of their independence and often leads to the risk of falls, resulting in serious injury. Visit any nursing home and you’ll see multiple examples of sarcopenia. Studies show that sarcopenia begins around age 45 and increases at the rate of one percent a year. That means that by age 65, sedentary people have lost half of their muscle mass. And you cannot lose muscle mass without losing muscle strength. Women are at greater risk than men as they start out in life with one-third less muscle mass than men. Moreover, since they live longer there’s longer duration of muscle loss. So what can you do at an early age to prevent ending your life in a wheelchair? As the elderly age they tend to shy away from strenuous tasks that cause discomfort. This sets the stage for sarcopenia. First, don’t neglect sufficient protein. Dr. Paul Jacques, director of Tufts Nutritional Program says, “It’s estimated that 20 percent of people between the ages of 51 to 70 have inadequate protein intake.” But the Tufts report also states that most North Americans get plenty of protein, but they obtain it the wrong way. Cheeseburgers and fried chicken provide protein, but they also provide too much saturated fat and calories. Researchers stress another important point. You should not only get adequate protein at dinner, but also at other meals. So what’s the appropriate protein math to prevent sarcopenia? The proposed average is 40 to 70 grams a day depending on body weight ( 0.8 grams of protein per 2.2 pounds). So a 125 pound woman would require 46 grams and a 175 pound man 64 grams. In addition, the amount depends on daily activity. What about exercise? It’s been known for decades that weight lifting and working on resistance machines increases muscle mass and strength in young people. But when this approach was tried on older people their muscles did not get larger. The reason for these poor results was the initial fear that to push older people too hard is unwise. I say “amen” to that, because I’ve seen cases of snapped tendons due to the loading of excessive weights. But there is a positive side if weightlifting is done with caution and not pushed to the limit. When researchers increased weights gradually for those between 60 to 72 years it doubled their strength in 12 weeks of training. Some frail 90 year olds tossed their canes away in 8 weeks of graduated exercise. There are other benefits to preserving muscle mass. During illness the body withdraws protein from muscles to aid in the healing process and produces antibodies to fight infection. When sarcopenia is present, there’s less ammunition to fight illness. Dr. William Evans, at the University of Arkansas, cites a study in Finland in which men in their late 60s who had lifted weights for years, had muscle mass similar to non-athletes in their 20s. Joggers however, are not protected from sarcopenia as the stress produced by this sport can’t compete with lifting weights. The message here is that to maintain muscle mass you require an adequate dietary intake of protein along with exercise, preferably using weights. This is not news I like to hear. I’ve enjoyed sports, but not lifting weights. But reluctantly, I keep a pair of weights close to my computer and intermittently use them. I also enjoy replenishing my protein with a six ounce steak (63 grams) and baked potato with skin (5 gm). And to ease my anxiety that I may be protein deficient, I enjoy 5 ounces of red wine (0.3 grams of protein). R0023400233_0813

On Saturday afternoon, Sept. 12, renowned Ottawa Valley storyteller, author and journalist, Mary Cook will be the guest speaker at a special “English Afternoon Tea” at St. Andrews Presbyterian Church, Perth. Mary, winner of seven ACTRA Awards, author of a dozen best-selling books and on CBC radio for 48 years, will bring her unique memories “of a more gentle time in our history-the Depression!” In constant demand as a voice of the Ottawa Valley, Carleton Place resident Mary Cook has accepted the invitation to return to Perth on behalf of the “Friends of Queen’s/Perth Anniversaries” committee to aid in their efforts to raise funds for many commemorative activities in 2016. Queen’s University celebrates its 175th anniversary in 2016/17, with Perth and area townships marking their 200th anniversary in 2016. The link between the two communities is prominent 19th century politician, merchant and Presbyterian layman, Perthite William Morris. Morris is credited with being the leading force behind the creation of Queen’s College in 1842 and was its first chair of the Board of Trustees.

to Lanark just over two years ago, we knew the area well (had relatives who spent over 40 years in this area). After we retired, we sold our home in White Lake in order to become full-time RVers. We decided it was not a good idea to continue travelling in this way without owning a home somewhere in Canada. As Canadians, should one of us become ill while in the U.S., we would need to return to our home country, and could not very well live in an RV should something happen in the middle of winter! We found a small fixer-upper in Lanark County and have spent the past two years working at getting it to where it is comfortable for us.

“No doubt about it, killing is a dirty business, he mused, as he cleaned up after his latest victim. A meaningful kill, in his opinion, had to result in a bloody mess. The bloodier, the better. Otherwise, it meant he had let himself down, had rushed things. And he never rushed a kill. Ever.” — Excerpt from local author, Lise Guilbault’s latest novel, Look Behind You. Local author, Lise Guilbault, admits she’s a romantic at heart, and that’s one of the many reasons she’s taken to writing novels of this genre. But there is a twist – she likes a good suspense, so she’s added some creeps to her books. All of her novels are romantic suspense/thrillers. “I guess I would say I’m a romantic at heart, but romance is just not enough for me. I need some thrills and chills to go along with the happy-ever-after,” she writes in an email exchange with this newspaper. “My books are psychological thrillers, though, not of the horror type. No monsters for me; just creeps!” Her novel, You’re Still Mine is the first in the ‘Safe In His Arms’ series. This novel deals with domestic abuse at its worst and has been very well received, she writes. “The description touches on this topic and seems to attract buyers.” The second novel in the same series
is “You’re Not His,” also a romantic thriller. This one is dealing with a dangerous, highly deranged perpetrator. “My third novel in the series, “Look Behind You,” will be released on Aug. 31, 2015. This novel is about a fiercely independent woman who leaves the city behind to start her own hunting and fishing lodge, only to be pursued by a serial killer.” Guilbault says she always tries to mention a lake or road in Lanark County. Although the settings are not Lanark based, she said using a name from the area personalizes the books for her. “A little bit of home in each novel, I guess.” Guilbault is an indie author, meaning she has an independent publisher. She said she published her first novel at the age of 59 because, “I’ve wanted to write a novel for as long as I can remember, but was terrified to take the plunge. But as I got older - and then retired four years ago - I decided it was now or never. ‘Incomplete Delusion’ was my first published novel.” Her first novel is a stand-alone, for which her daughter drew the cover. “Once I started writing, it was like a door was opened which I could not close. Years of ideas came flooding out. I literally wake up in the middle of the night with ideas for a new novel or how to make changes to the one I’m currently working on,” she stated. “Although my husband and I moved

Words on the land coming to Fieldwork Fieldwork is excited to be partnering with the Ottawa International Writers Festival/PerthChapter this summer to present a new event called Framework: Words on the Land - coming up on Sunday, Aug. 23 at 3 p.m. This event will include readings and conversations with ten writers who will have just finished a weekend of writing on the land at Fieldwork.
Participating Writers: Amanda West Lewis, Amanda Jernigan, Phil Hall, Michael Blouin, Matthew Holmes, Wayne Grady, Merilyn Simonds, Christine Pountney, Jeff Warren, Troy McClure Over the weekend of Aug. 21 to 23, 10 writers will be asked to respond to individual framed vantage points with their stories, poems or writing experiments.
The writers were invited to bring to Framework a broad diversity of styles and interests – ranging from poetry to prose and from nature writing to explorations of consciousness. On Sunday afternoon, Aug. 23, the barn across the road from Fieldwork will become the venue for the writers to go public with their writing and their thoughts about this experiment.

The Table welcomes donations of garden produce ing; this brief connection with the Earth and those before us who lived and died by its bounty should be celebrated! Within the week, your beaming smile is replaced with a wrinkled brow. You begin to realize you may be ill prepared for the constant zucchini harvest, and what was once a few precious yellow globes of gold have now turned into bushels of yellow cherry tomatoes begging for your attention. You hold chaos at bay for a week or two, sharing with family and neighbours, but it keeps coming and coming…. What to do? The Table Community Food Centre welcomes your excess bounty! Every month The Table serves up thousands of wholesome meals, the Good Food Bank provides access to fresh and nutritious
food, and our food skills programs focus on creating a fertile environment where participants can gain and grow healthy knowledge and skills to last a life time. Here at The Table we celebrate good food. This is a place where all those surplus tomatoes will reward your summer’s work by feeding many, in sandwiches, salads and sauces prepared both here and in many family homes. Your cucumbers, zucchini, lettuce, carrots, beans, etc. will be equally appreciated as they contribute to meals where friends, families and community members gather and share the events of the day over good and healthy food. Truly a wonderful way to honour your garden’s bounty. Each spring we issue a standing invi-
tation to local gardeners to “grow a row” of produce for The Table and at this time of year, we extend that invitation to any vegetables which are surplus to your needs. You don’t have to wash your donation, just box it up and bring it in. Small donations (1-50 lbs) can be dropped off Monday–Friday 10-4, for larger donations please call ahead. Local small-and large-scale farmers are also invited to donate, we have already benefited from the considerable generosity of Waratah Downs Farm and Millers Bay Farm this season. (Please note: any over-ripe produce is best put in your composter for next year’s garden.)
Because YOUR Dad Has Enough Socks.

After months of planning and hours of tilling, planting, watering, fertilizing and weeding under the hot summer sun, your garden comes to fruition. You lean on your hoe in the cool of the early morning, beaming with pride. Bush Beans practically tumble over with their super-abundant crop, red bib lettuce rosettes bejewelled with morning dew nestle against one another in the row, and huge crinkled leaves of ruby red and rainbow chard sway gently in the breeze seeming to wave you a “good morning.” A flush of satisfaction and pride warms you to your toes. You did this and now it’s time to reap the harvest. (Where is the press? Such an occasion should not go unnoticed!) The moment is fleet-

Bring your water questions - and the whole family - for an entertaining morning at the 15th annual Watershed Discovery Day, Saturday, Aug. 15, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Perth Farmers’ Market. What are the invasive species and should you worry? What should you know about algae? Should you be concerned with water quality and water levels? What’s being done about local dams? Want to know more about the state of the river, and storm water reduction, in Perth? These are a few of the questions that can be answered by experts at Watershed Discovery Day. Watershed Discovery Day provides interactive exhibits and activities, and experts from the area agencies, on the state of our local water resources, the challenges facing them, and the programs and plans available to address them. Watersheds Canada, Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, Invasive Species Awareness Program of Plenty Canada and the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, Queen’s University and the Town of Perth are there to answer your questions. This year Watershed Day will also recognise the 10th Anniversary of the launch of the general lake management planning program in our area watersheds, with displays of local lake plans, and a presentation and anniversary cake cutting at 11 a.m. On the lighter side, the Paddling Puppeteer will entertain - and educate - throughout the morning for the children… and adults too. Sing-a-long songs, traditional instruments and dancing puppets detail the geography, history, nature and ecology of Canada. The Perth and District Union Library will feature Story Time from 10 to 11 a.m. The ‘Friends’ will have the Fish Pond for the children to try their skill at identifying the invasive species. Come out to the Perth Farmers’ Market, pick up some wonderful fresh produce, baking and perennials, enjoy a bite and take part in Watershed Discovery Day. The Farmers’ Market is located at the Crystal Palace in downtown Perth, overlooking the Tay Basin. This great morning of information, entertainment and wonderful local produce is possible through the generous partnering with Perth Farmers’ Market, Town of Perth, The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority and the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation. We all live downstream. For more information, visit www.tayriver.org.

Party crashers - Invasive Species - are bad news for our native plants. The Frontenac Stewardship Foundation has a plan to fight these party crashers, because invasive species are having a significant impact on the County of Frontenac’s natural biodiversity. The ecological effects of invasive species are often irreversible and, once established, invasive species are extremely difficult and costly to eradicate. On Aug. 29, join the Invasive Species Community Seminar and learn how to combat the party crashers in your area. The Frontenac Stewardship Foundation and Queen’s University Biological Station are hosting this active learning day at the Elbow Lake Environmental Education Centre, near Perth Road Village. The seminar is part of the Frontenac Stewardship 2015 Seminar Series. Sponsorship is generously provided by the Community Foundation for Kingston and Area. Provincial leaders from the Ministry of Natural Resources & Forestry and Ontario Federation of Anglers & Hunters join reps from Queen’s University, Nature Conservancy of Canada and Ducks Unlimited to present current policy, research and on-the-ground practices for combatting invasive species, using case studies that emphasize local threats. Topics include: • The risk of invasive species and preventing their spread; • Using research to guide policy and Best Practices; •The Rapid Response Program; and •Invasive species strategy, monitoring and active control in the Frontenac Arch Natural Area. Species of particular concern for our area include: wild parsnip, dog-strangling vine, zebra

McLean seeks council permission for beer, wine tent at hockey showcase Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
If at first you don’t succeed, ask permission yet again to serve alcohol at Perth arena. After his plans to operate a sports bar on the premises of the Perth arena during Perth Blue Wings home games as a fundraiser for minor hockey were scuttled earlier this year, team owner Michael McLean again approached town council on Tuesday, Aug. 4, to ask permission to set up a temporary, secured tent in the arena’s parking lot, where beer and wine would be served, along with food. His plans were approved by a special town council meeting on Friday, Aug. 7. The fenced-off tent, measuring 40 feet by 80 feet, would be erected for the CCHL2 junior hockey showcase being held in Perth from Friday, Sept. 11 to Sunday, Sept. 13. There will be two games on the Friday night, with games running from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday. McLean also promised to post $10 million in liability insurance, and provide full-time security at the tent from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m. daily. The bar would be run by a local service club, since they all have proper certification to serve alcohol. McLean stressed that other facilities like the Kilt Run, Stewart Park Festival, Garlic Festival and this month’s

Perth Blue Wings owner Michael McLean makes his case at Perth council on Aug. 4. inaugural Ribfest were all licenced events. As for the showcase itself, McLean promised that it would have a significant, and positive, economic impact on the town. With 16 teams coming into town, with 21 players each, he expected about 336 players to descend on Perth that weekend, accompanied by about 80 team staffers. Estimating about two parents per player, along with family members, McLean noted that as many as 672 par-
ents alone would be in town for the weekend, as each team will hit the ice at least twice. “It’s huge news for Perth,” said McLean during his presentation to the committee of the whole. He promised that the tent would be “a more secure style than a wedding tent,” and that patrons would have to be 21 or over to purchase alcohol. He noted with great pride that these events are normally held at the Bell Sensplex and that this is the first time that they have been held at a facility with only one ice surface, and, that they are the first Ottawa Valley community to be so honoured. The league reorganization means that Perth will now play teams it had not been able to play before, like the Westport Rideaus. He also promised that Bryan Murray, the Ottawa Senators’ general manager, will drop the puck at 7 p.m. on Sept. 11 for the first game, and a “Hot Stove” interview segment on stage after each game, with the game’s Most Valuable Player, or a coach, carried out by the likes of Hugh Colton, by way of example. He is also working on securing Senators’ mascot Spartacat and the Ottawa Redblacks’ mascot
Big Joe to attend for the children. “This will attract a lot of people,” said McLean. “We are asking for your trust and support.” Coun. Jim Boldt offered his support to the proposal. “This would be no different than Ma and Pa taking a bunch of 16-year-olds into a licensed restaurant,” said Boldt. Coun. Jim Graff agreed with the sentiment, saying he trusted McLean. “We are dealing with a responsible party, who is in the insurance business, who knows what a liability is,” said Graff. However, Coun. Judy Brown expressed her continued concerns that allowing such a tent on town property would contravene bylaws forbidding the serving of alcohol at events where children are in attendance. “We do have a bunch of restaurants downtown with liquor licenses,” she pointed out. Brown was the only councillor to vote no to the proposal, with the motion passing four to one, before it made its way towards final approval at the Aug. 7 special council meeting.

Wait Until Dark’s thrilling opening night at Classic Theatre Festival An all-sold-out sign went up at the Classic Theatre Festival for this weekend’s packed opening night performance of the Frederick Knott thriller Wait Until Dark, an edge-of-your-seat thriller that was turned into a legendary film with Audrey Hepburn and Alan Arkin. The gripping story of a blind woman who must defend herself after her home is invaded by seedy criminals will run at the Festival (54 Beckwith Street East) until Aug. 30, Wednesday to Sunday at 2 p.m. and Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday at 8 p.m. While watching the film version of this play in the comfort of one’s home can be absorbing enough, seeing it live on stage is a different experience, explains artistic producer and director Laurel Smith. “The whole theatre sometimes goes dark, and given how close you are to the stage in our venue, it feels like you will be part of the action during some of the most intense parts of the show,” she said. While this production features the professional debut of two young child actors – Perth’s Madison Miernik and Smiths Falls’ Samantha Salter, who

A standing ovation greeted the cast of the Classic Theatre Festival’s thrilling Wait Until Dark on opening night. A major plot relationship involves nine-year-old Gloria (Madison Miernik) and the blind Susy Hendrix (Alison Smyth), who must work together to prevent a tragedy from unfolding. The show runs until Aug. 30 at 54 Beckwith Street East, with tickets available at www.classictheatre.ca or 1-877-283-1283.
are sharing the key role of nine-yearold Gloria – it also features some familiar faces that have graced previous seasons of the Classic Theatre Festival stage. Indeed, returning from the cast of last summer’s Dial M for Murder (also by Frederick Knott, a brilliant writer who hated writing and was far from prolific, producing only three significant works) is Toronto’s Greg Campbell, taking on the role of the loathsome Mr. Roat. Last summer, he played the scheming, less than likeable Tony Wendice, and so may have gotten used to audiences booing his character at curtain calls. Richard Gélinas, an Ottawa actor, plays a similar role to his Dial M appearance with Carlino, a petty crook and small-time con man who gets roped into a plot beyond his capacity. Also returning this summer is five-season veteran Scott Clarkson, a ringer for 1940s leading men like Fredric March, playing the role of former Marine turned photographer Sam Hendrix. New to the festival stage is Alison Smyth, an Ottawa-born actor and singer who takes on the challenging

role of Susy, a young woman recently blinded in a car accident who is learning how to be independent when her world is turned upside down by the visit of a handsome, rugged stranger named Mike Talman (Alastair Love, returning to Perth after originally appearing in the 2012 production of Mary, Mary). What follows is a plot that builds tension as Susy desperately tries to prevent something tragic from befalling her and Sam. While the show deals with serious topics, it is ultimately about the triumph of good over evil, a theme common to Knott plays: no matter how dire the situation, justice will prevail. Wait Until Dark originally ran for over a year on Broadway beginning in 1966, starring the late Lee Remick, at a time when America was beginning to see major newspaper and TV stories about rising crime rates. Tickets to the Classic Theatre Festival’s Wait Until Dark, along with the Perth through the Ages walking tour and The Lonely Ghosts Walk, are available online at www.classictheatre.ca or calling 1-877-283-1283.

Videos to get you all revved up about personal transportation No doubt about it, I am an auto junkie. Anything with wheels and motors interests me and I’ve enjoyed a long and rewarding career in the industry. Two recent and viral videos that came across my computer recently confirmed my belief that personal transportation design and execution still has the ability to inspire and captivate. The first was from a French company, Swincar that has created and is currently selling a very unique all-terrain vehicle. Their E-Spider is an electrically powered lightweight ATV that holds the driver in a swinging sling cockpit. Each wheel is independently driven by its own 1,000watt electric motor powered by a lithium-ion battery pack. The wheel-units are attached to the body’s frame by hydraulically dampened suspension arms

Robbie spent two years experimenting with different modifications to his dirt bike and ended up with floatation skis attached on both sides of both wheels that allowed the bike to operate on both land and water.

They allow for a very wide range of articulation and permit any of the four wheels to travel independent of each other on very rough and uneven surfaces. The driver seat and safety cage are mounted on a pivot system which keeps the driver’s spine almost perpendicular to the ground no matter what crazy slopes or surfaces the E-Spider is operating on. The seat and foot plates are suspended high enough off the ground to allow the craft to ford shallow streams. The makers state that a single battery charge is good for four hours of extreme trail riding which is very silent and environmentally friendly. Currently it’s only available in Europe but with the success of the ATV market here in Canada, maybe it’s only a matter of time

UCDSB vice principal honoured with Harmony Movement award A champion for equity and diversity within the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) has been selected by Harmony Movement as this year’s winner of the Mary A. Samuel Harmony Leadership in Education Award. Lori Taylor, a vice principal of program with the board who handles diversity issues, will be officially presented with the honour in November during a ceremony in Toronto, said Janelle Yanishewski, outreach and marketing co-ordinator for Harmony Movement. The leadership award pays tribute to an educator in an administrative, or research and academic role, who has made significant contributions in advancing equitable and inclusive education during his/her career. It is named after late human rights advocate Mary A Samuel. “It is a huge honour to win this award because she (Mary Samuel) was such a champion for equity and so passionate about her work,” said Taylor. “I hope to be able to continue that work and do justice to it. “At the same time, in doing equity and social justice work, it is all about community. I am grateful (to be the recipient) but the award really acknowledges the work of everyone who I have had the privilege of working with, and learning alongside, over the years.” Taylor has been a champion for diversity within the UCDSB, first acting as a co-founder of the Queer Ally Alliance (QAA) Club at Thousand Islands Secondary School while a teacher there. She is one of the driving forces behind the board’s annual Equity and Inclusion Forum. She was also one of the organizers behind the #SEEMYVOICE Twitter feed, which provides information on a

Release the park brake activator and then locate the cables that go to each rear wheel. With the vehicle in park (or in gear in the case of a manual transmission) grab the cables just ahead of the rear wheels and give them several strong flexes.

1930 Model A Ford driven 100,000 miles since 1999! Norm Grant of Trenton, Ontario, belongs to the Model A Owners of Canada Inc. (http://www. modelaowners.com). In 1999, he purchased his 1930 Model A Ford Tudor, a dependable fun car to commute to work (60 miles a day) and something he could work on himself: “I installed signal lights and halogen headlights for safety. I learned how to shift gears and in 1999 I drove 10,268 miles. The next year, the motor was rebuilt, and after only 60 miles, I broke a new connecting rod and lost some driving time. With the new motor, I drove 9,609 miles in 2001. In 2002 I added another 8,476 miles and I passed the 25,000-mile mark. “In 1932, a Model A was driven from Toronto to Vancouver in 96.25 hours. Our 24-year-old son James and I decided to duplicate the trip and see if we could break the record. On June 10, 2004, we departed Toronto City Hall at 11 p.m. We replaced a burnt exhaust valve in Manitoba and reached Vancouver City Hall at 2 p.m. on June 14, exactly 87 hours after leaving Toronto. By the end of 2004, I passed the 50,000-mile mark. “In 2007 we drove our Model A with three other A’s to the Yukon. I rebuilt the motor before the tour. On June 9, we sent the four Model
“In November 2014, I passed the 100,000-mile mark. It was a long journey and driving the car was only part of the fun. The people I have met on the 100,000-mile journey have made it very special. I wonder what the next 100,000 miles will bring.” I’m always looking for more sto-

Five hundred miles of gravel roads but we made it back in 20 hours in the oldest cars to cross the Arctic Circle in Canada. “By the end of 2007, I had over 70,000 miles on the car. The year 2008 got off to a bad start with an engine rear main bearing going but we were soon back on the road. The car ran great all year and by November I had passed the 80,000-mile mark. “In 2012, the rear main bearing went again and the motor was out for the rest of the year. Early in 2013 the motor was back in but quickly developed a rear main bearing oil leak. A local machine shop installed a rubber seal and stopped the leak.

Twelve athletes from Saltos Athletics in Perth represented Canada at the International Aerobic Gymnastics Championships in San Diego, California July 25 to Aug. 2. Sixteen countries were in attendance, including China, Japan, Australia, Mexico and Argentina, all very strong delegations to compete against. Canada’s delegation consisted of the 12 Saltos athletes, as well as 11 other team members from Hamilton’s World Class Gymnastics. Aerobic Gymnastics is another discipline of gymnastics involving dynamic aerobic movement to music, gymnastics tumbling, jumps, holds, push-ups and flexibility elements done to music. Routines are 1:15 to 1:35 minutes long and are expected to be non-stop, high energy and are judged on Artistic, Execution and Difficulty value by a panel of 12 judges. Allison Tolgyesi from Almonte, a longtime Saltos’ veteran athlete, team leader and five-time international championship competitor, competed as a first-time senior individual woman, scoring well and placing 21st in her category.

sible. With the machine up and running Reed, Susan, Johnny and Victor are ready to be the first to explore that new world. Then the government tells them they won’t be going. Not willing to let others reap their glory Reed, Johnny, and Victor decide to use the machine first. Reed invites Ben, and the four travel to the other world. However, once on the other planet things go badly. Susan manages to bring them home, but Victor is lost, and the resulting explosion changes them forever. I like the cast. I like the special effects. I even like the tweaks they made to the origin of The Fantastic Four and the characters. The rest I didn’t like.
I sat here for two hours for that? Where’s the rest of the movie?” This cast was one of the reasons I was looking forward to this film, and willing to go along with a reboot. In the end I thought Milles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Bell were good choices for the first family of superheroes, and Toby Kebbell pulls off a classic Dr. Doom. It’s always a shame when good actors get stuck making a terrible movie. Fantastic Four is bad, but whether it’s bad enough to kill the franchise is difficult to say. We can only hope. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

My Take
Mark haskins
The editing makes me think more than one person tried to fix this film. It’s choppy, and has huge gaps in time explained away with the phrase ‘so many years later’. The director has no direction, and can’t seem to decide what movie he’s making. At a guess I’d say he got in way over his head, and didn’t realize he was supposed to be making a superhero movie until the last moment. The worst part though is the story. The story is dragged out way too long, yet still manages to gloss over important details. When you finally do get to the big climactic superhero showdown it’s over before you know it. It left me thinking, “Is that it?

MOVIE: Fantastic Four STARRING: Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan, Jamie Bell, Toby Kebbell and Reg E. Cathey DIRECTOR: Josh Trank RATING: PG There’s no point in sugar coating this. Fantastic Four is awful. Honestly I liked the 2005 Fantastic Four better. A lot better. Dr. Franklin Storm wants to save the world. As head of the Baxter Institute he has the means to do it. He believes the key is inter-dimensional travel, and with the help of some brilliant young minds including his adopted daughter Susan (Kate Mara) and Victor Von Doom (Toby Kebbell) he’s come close. You can imagine his surprise when he learns that Reed Richards (Miles Teller) has done it with a high school science fair project he built with his best friend Ben Grimm (Jamie Bell). Reed is immediately brought to the institute and made part of the team. Dr. Storm’s son Johnny Storm (Michael B. Jordan), a mechanical genius, joins the team, and together they do the impos-
