Zero to 1.5 per cent increase hope for budget 2015

First down and out

Sports – Despite his best efforts, it begins to dawn on PDCI Blue Devil Griffan King that, despite help from team mate Nicholas Dobbie, he just can’t outrun SFDCI RedHawks players (from left) Josh Warren, Jordan Taylor and James Cross. PDCI lost the Turkey Bowl’s senior game 14-0 on Oct. 11. But, it was a better day for St. John’s across town, who beat the Notre Dame Warriors 39-0 in the senior game, and 40-0 in the junior game.

OPP search for man wanted for Perth assault

News - Lanark County OPP are on the search for a man who they say may be armed and dangerous. On Oct. 4 around 10 a.m. ofﬁcers responded to an assault call in Perth. After an investigation, they are now searching for Aaron James Gilpin, 24, of Tay Valley Township. “There is a warrant out for his arrest,”

confirmed Const. Dave Bird of the Lanark County OPP Detachment. “We are warning people not to approach him, as he may be armed and dangerous. Bird advised that giving out any more information may identify the victim – the person they are protecting in this investigation – as well as the public. Gilpin is wanted on the following charges: two counts of sexual assault; two counts of forcible confinement; five

counts of assault; two counts of assault with a weapon, two counts of overcoming resistance by attempting to choke, suffocate or strangle another person; mischief and two counts of failing to comply with a probation order. Bird urges anyone with information on this person’s whereabouts to call police immediately, or Crime Stoppers. Contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

News – Perth town hall will try to bring the 2015 budget in with a tax rise of between zero and 1.5 per cent. Town staff was advised at town council’s Tuesday, Oct. 7 committee-of-thewhole meeting that any financial savings would be allocated to the infrastructure reserve account and general budget coffers for 2015. “It’s an interesting new twist we are trying to bring to the process,” said Lang Britchford, the town’s treasurer, by trying to “bring internal pressure on staff,” to be more efficient and sustainable. “I put a range in there because there are a number of unknowns out there,” he said, pointing to the future of the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund (OMPF), which, he said, “we don’t know where (it) is heading.” The goal will be to aim at zero per cent, and “this is a guide to staff to see what we can establish.” Mayor John Fenik anticipated tough times ahead for the recently re-elected Liberal government at Queen’s Park. “I think it will be a lean couple of years,” he said. “Premier Wynne has said that that deficit has to go.” Coun. Jim Boldt said he was delighted to see collaboration between politicians and staff. “It’s nice to see council and staff supporting lower taxes,” he said. “In my world, I would see them even lower.” As

for the financial reality at Queen’s Park, “the gravy train in Ontario has stopped,” said Boldt. “We have to prepare for a tough future.” However, Coun. Beth Peterkin said that seeing a zero per cent tax increase contained in Britchford’s report as a guide post for staff, for her, sent up “red flags.” “A tax raise starting at zero per cent scares me a lot,” said Peterkin. “A zero per cent tax increase… that means we are cutting four to five per cent in other areas. I’m afraid for where we will be in three or four years.” Of particular concern was “softer” services like Conlon Farm or arts funding, which she feared would “fall off the map.” But Britchford said that a possible zero per cent tax increase would not bring the cuts that Peterkin feared. “Zero per cent is not an appropriate idea if services are hurt,” said Britchford. “Zero isn’t sustainable for very long at all.” He cited, by way of example, the decision to disband the old Perth Police Service in favour of having the OPP police the town. About $650,000 of savings from that decision will now go towards reserves, and it all came about with little to no change in police service levels. However, Britchford added that, with good news on the “unknowns” for future See BUDGET page P4

CDSBEO establishes energy conservation and demand management plan

EQAO results and students with spe-

cial education needs Director of Education, William J. Gartland, shared with the board the CDSBEO EQAO results. “The results are certainly a positive comment on the work our teachers and support staff carry out,” noted Gartland. A particular highlight for the CDSBEO was the successful results of students with special education needs. Dr. Donaleen Hawes, superintendent of school effectiveness, noted that for grades 3 and 6, board students performed well above the provincial average in all

assessments. For grade 3, 61 per cent of students met or exceeded the provincial standard (province – 40 per cent). For the grade 6 results, 66 per cent of students with special education needs met or exceeded the provincial standard (province – 47 per cent). For the grade 9 mathematics assessment, 60 per cent of students with special education needs met or exceeded the provincial standard (province – 37 per cent). For the grade ten Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test results, 33 per cent

met or exceeded the provincial standard Métis and Inuit peoples. (province – 18 per cent).

News – The following are highlights from the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) board meeting held Oct. 7 at the board office in Kemptville. The energy conservation and demand management plan has been established to support the reduction of energy consumption across the board. The plan is an overview of all related energy concepts and practices that are currently in place, and fulfils the reporting requirements for the Green Energy Act (Ontario Regulation 397/11). Bonnie Norton, superintendent of business, outlined for the board some of the initiatives in place throughout CDSBEO facilities. “The plan provides a framework for conserving energy and operating sustainable efficient facilities,” explained Norton. “The goal is to raise the profile of energy conservation throughout the system, demonstrate leadership in energy conservation and effectively manage the use of energy in all facilities. Where necessary, the board will take steps to reduce consumption so as to meet or exceed provincial standards.” The CDSBEO reports energy consumption to the Ministry of Energy each July for all facilities and posts the information publicly. The board is slightly below the provincial average for indexed energy consumption. In 2010, an audit was conducted which detailed, independent energy reports for all facilities. These reports provide a framework for possible energy efficiency upgrades, specifically targeting projects with an attractive payback period. “When designing, constructing and renovating spaces, the board uses a number of strategies to ensure energy efficiency,” noted Norton. “Heating and cooling systems are energy efficient and automated through computers. Lighting is also efficient, using T8, T5 or LED technology, and in some cases sensors.” In addition, modern low flow plumbing fixtures, energy efficient windows and curtain walls, and increased insulation values are use in all new or renovated facilities. The board has been working on energy efficiency projects over the last four years, upgrading lighting and mechanical systems, and installing new energy efficient windows at board facilities. Several renewable energy solar projects have also been implemented with funding received from the Ministry under a special grant. Power generated from the three solar installations, housed at St. John Catholic High School (CHS), St. Michael CHS and St. Thomas Aquinas CHS, currently create revenue of approximately $2,500 a month for the board. “The projects also help to engage staff and students to develop a culture of conservation,” noted Norton. “People can go online and track the solar panels performance, and statistics in real time. This creates interesting educational opportunities to learn about renewable resources.”

Build-a-Mountain of Food vows Merrickville reboot, new Santa Claus float for 2014 Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Go tell it on the mountain – and while you’re up there, bring a few canned goods with you. The Build-A-Mountain of Food campaign kick-off was held at Jamesons’ Chinese Restaurant and Buffet in Perth on Wednesday, Oct. 8 and seated before chief organizer Hugh Colton was a group of people he called “a great team.” Indeed, as the campaign has grown over the years, so too have the numbers of volunteers. And, sadly, so too has the need for donated food. In 2013, the campaign collected more than 102,690 lbs of food, and $40,789 in cash. This is the eighth year of the program and, in that time, the drive has collected more than 300,000 lbs of food and more than $143,000 in cash. While the room was full of worthy volunteers, both old and new, Colton singled out Tony Hendriks who, every

Colton urged the newer members to look to older members for advice. “If you have a question, these people are oiled, they are ready to go,” said Colton. He also encouraged organizers to “drop in and see your grocery stores, even just to say hi,” before your campaign day comes up, he advised. “Then they put a name and a face to the local food bank. It is more personal…it’s just a good thing to do.” He added, half jokingly that, by doing so, “it makes it easier for me! I can ride your coat tails.” Desmond Devoy/METROLAND He praised the supermarkets for their Hugh Colton, head organizer of the Build-a-Moun- the 2014 kick-off in Perth at Jamesons’ Chinese Res- donation bags, and their lists of needed donation items which are handed out at tain of Food campaign, addresses the volunteers at taurant and Buffet on Oct. 8. each stop. “That’s very, very crucial for you, year, without fail, visits all of the partic- what the campaign needs – and does not nation drop-off just outside. “It’s evolved for a lot of reasons, ipating supermarkets to coordinate the need – in terms of pre-packaged food See BUILD page 7 upcoming campaign, and to tell them bags, ready for purchase and quick do- bringing the right people together,” said

12 student Joshua MacMillan, presented insight on the experiences of the group to the board of trustees. In collaboration with Sandy Lake Board of Education, Deschamps and Hutt worked to make this opportunity a reality. “Our focus was on making connections with, and learning from the people of Sandy Lake,” explained Deschamps. “Community Elder, Eddie Fiddler, spoke to us about stereotypes and the influences of the media on perspective. He reminded us to dispel any preconceptions we might have and to simply understand his people. The people of Sandy Lake willingly shared with us, and we learned the importance of connecting with people, of being good listeners, of hearing their stories, and of knowing them as we know ourselves.” The group learned about the challenges of living on a fly-in reserve, far from common services and resources. In addition, they saw firsthand the issues the community deals with regarding medical care, nutrition, diabetes, and addiction. On the reserve, students are able to attend school until grade ten, however grades 11 and 12 must be attended off of the reserve, and many learners choose not to leave home to complete school. Engagement of students is a challenge, and the group tried to connect with youth, engage in sports and dialogue about school with them. “Through a financial literacy learning experience, we visited the community’s large variety store to investigate the realities of eating

COMMENTARY

Learn about your school board trustee

ditorial – On Oct. 27, not only will you be voting in a new municipal council, but you will also be asked to vote for your school board trustee, be that in the Upper Canada District School Board, or the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario. You will have a chance to vote for French and English boards depending on your area – almost 700 school board trustees across Ontario. A vote for a trustee not only means that education matters, but that you want to help make a difference in your community by voting in the trustee that best suits your needs. According to the Elections Canada website for school board trustees, those who are representing the French and English-speaking students are the members of the district school board. They are locally-elected representatives of the public, and they are the community’s advocate for public education. They are required to carry out their responsibilities in a manner that assists the board in fulﬁlling its duties under the Education Act. Trustees focus on achievements of students and their well-being. They also participate in decision-making that beneﬁts the board area as they represent the best interests of their constituents. Trustees also act as liaisons between the board and the students/parents.

outside would change again. I knew without a doubt that the smoke from the cook stove was different once the colder weather came. At no other time of the year did I notice the wonderful smell of burning logs as I watched the smoke curl above the roof of the house. And I would wonder why. When I went into the barns at night, they certainly didn’t smell like they did in the heat of the summer. The cows gave off a warmth and it ﬁlled the barn, and the aroma of the hay from the loft wafted down. Even the straw in each stall had what I called a cold weather smell. When I mentioned this to my sister Audrey, she said it was just my imagination playing tricks on me…all in my head, she said. The inside of our house smelled different too. The windows were shut tight, and trapped inside were the smells of gum rubbers, propped against the woodbox beside the

The trustee has many jobs. They are responsible for setting needs and priorities of their students, which reflect the educational opportunities that are available. To do this, trustees have to mediate sometimes – it’s not always a cut-and-dry situation. They make decisions about the school board’s budget. They create programs to fit the needs of the community and they even help make decisions about how to spend money they receive from the province – anything from the hiring of teachers, to building new schools and closing older ones. A trustee must do this in collaboration with the other members of the school board by developing policies that work for all students, and ensuring they are implemented effectively. No one trustee can make a blanket decision about how your child is taught or how action is taken when needed. The entire board makes that by placing the student first. School board trustees, like municipal councillors, are vital in the democracy chain. By voting for a trustee, you have a say in the decisions your school board makes and that those views are heard by your board. Before you vote, check out your candidates by visiting www.elections.ontarioschooltrustees.org. Make your voice heard.

School board’s Upper Canada Sports League becomes a growing success

MARY From page 8

Findlay Oval, and the musty smell of winter coats hanging at the back door. And I could smell wool. Everywhere there was wool…in the hats and mitts at the ready for the winter in a basket under the bake table, there was wool. Certainly, these things were nowhere to be seen in the summer! So how could my sister Audrey say it was all in my head? I would wonder why she too didn’t notice the smell of fall. By the time we were well into October, Mother would have put out the braided rugs that had spent the summer rolled up in layers of the Ren-

sports for Grades 7 and 8 students in the 2012-2013 school year. This year, the league will offer UCDSB students regional and cup events in: cross country, Grades 4-8; soccer, Grades 7-8; volleyball, Grades 7-8 and 9-12; basketball, Grades 7-8 and 9-12; and track and field, Grades 7-8. Ferguson, the principal at Almonte and District High School, said several benefits flow from board students participating in the league.

“We want our kids to be physically active and this allows them to do that,” said Ferguson of the value of the league. “We find that kids who participate in team sports experience increased academic performance and a general sense of well-being. And in my experience as a principal, I see incidence of bullying decrease when kids are part of a team.” The program also offers an equal chance for all students to participate, regardless of loca-

There would be the faint aroma of wool and from the papers, and they would add to that special tinge to my nose that told me the season had changed…the smells of summer were gone, and the smells of fall were around me. By that time of year, our summer clothes would be changed to warmer skirts and sweaters. They had been packed away in a trunk over the hot weather, with hands full of mothballs scattered between the layers. It mattered not how long Mother hung each piece out on

the clothesline, she was never able to completely get rid of the smell of the mothballs. They too had the smell of fall. So, it mattered not how much my older and wiser sister Audrey said it was all in my head. I knew without a doubt, this time of year there was a special smell all around me. It came in gusts outside, and hung inside our old log house, and stayed in my nostrils, bringing me a special feeling of warmth and contentment. At that young age, I decided it was my favourite time of the year. There was no doubt about it. Fall had come at last… hadn’t my nose told me so?

tion, as well as a high level of sports experience, said Ferguson. The league has provided coaching certification clinics to staff members in basketball, volleyball and sports program design and nutrition. The board will also run a Grades 4-6 athletic summit

for coaches and interested administrators in November 2014 to discuss ways the league can be improved and to offer even more training to coaches. The next goal of UCSL organizers is to increase the number of intramural sports for intermediate students in Grades 7-12

schools. The plan is to ensure that students who may not have the skills to make the school team get the opportunity to develop them. The league is being led this year by superintendent of operations, David Coombs, as well as area sports co-ordinators.

CHARITABLE GIVING WITH LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES - A WIN-WIN FOR BOTH FAMILY AND CHARITIES The use of life insurance in the context of charitable gifting at death will appeal to those who want to reduce or eliminate taxes at death and/or have a strong desire to make a larger bequest to one or more charities. By Shawn Ryan, CFP, TEP Partner and Senior Insurance and Estate Planner Scrivens Insurance and Financial Solutions

Life insurance is a popular, practical way to make a significant gift to CHEO. Your donation will be wisely administered through investments which will provide a stable source of income to CHEO for years to come. There are three main methods you can gift life insurance: by making a bequest of the proceeds of a life insurance policy through your Will; donating the policy during your lifetime at fair market value; or by naming CHEO as beneficiary and remaining as policy owner.

The use of life insurance in the context of charitable gifting at death will appeal to those who want to reduce or eliminate taxes at death and/or have a strong desire to make a larger bequest to one or more charities. This should be considered in the bigger context of planned giving options available to donors both during their lifetime and at death.

Lanark County council puts funds behind tourism association cycling map News – The following are highlights from the special Lanark County council meeting held Wednesday, Oct. 8. Council has approved a motion to support the Lanark County Tourism Association’s request for joint project funds in the amount of $7,000. The economic development committee made the recommendation following a presentation at its meeting last month. Jeff Mills, who is cochair of Mississippi Mills Bicycle Month and an advisory committee member with Ontario By Bike and Share the Road, along with Bob Mingie, president of the Lanark County Tourism Association, presented information outlining how a cycling map for the county would mesh with existing themes, attractions and publications. They noted cycle tourism is growing in Ontario and is becoming a way to explore cultural heritage in communities. The delegation outlined the economic beneﬁts of cycling and the money spent by cycle tourists, noting provincial statistics from 2010 showed “2 million Canadian visitors participated in cycling activities in Ontario and spent $391 million.”

ment highlights trails Council approved an ofﬁcial plan amendment for Beckwith Township, which includes an item requiring developers of future subdivisions there to dedicate and construct trails and pathways as part of the required infrastructure of the subdivision, as opposed to providing them as part of a parkland dedication requirement. Warden Richard Kidd (Beckwith Reeve) expressed his support for the amendment. “It’s like treating trail infrastructure the same as we would sidewalks and roads,” he explained. The amendment supports several themes found in the county’s Sustainable Lanark plan, including infrastructure and quality of life (supporting safe walking and cycling) and healthy communities (increased physical activity by providing access to programs and facility, including public spaces and green spaces).

Also featured that day are Ottawa-area performers the Peter Brown Quartet and Nicole Ratté & Tim Bedner. The festival is delighted to welcome Norman Marshall Villeneuve’s Jazz Message to Merrickville. A hard driving bebop drummer with a career spanning six decades, Norman has worked with the likes of Duke Ellington, Junior Mance, Blossom Dearie and Anita O’Day to name a few and toured for some time with the great pianist Oliver Jones. Norman is still as exciting, inventive and energetic a performer as ever. Now based in Montreal, he brings the stellar lineup of bassist Eric Lagacé, pianist Félix Stüssi and alto saxophonist Dave Turner to MJF in a tribute to his mentor the great drummer Art Blakey.

A common misconception is the belief that asking for, and receiving assistance, equates to a loss of independence. In actual fact, asking for and receiving help is what can safely SECURE your continuing independence. For example, think of the work that is required to maintain your home...if you could have assistance in the completing the tasks that you are unable to do, it could make the diﬀerence in you being able to safely remain in your home for much longer than if you did not have this assistance. Your independence is positively impacted by this type of assistance, isn’t it? The North Lanark Assisted Living Program is a community based health care service that provides eligible seniors with the personal support services needed to allow them to continue living on their own, or with an informal caregiver at home for as long as possible. These services are coordinated by Mills Community Support with the hospitals in Almonte and Carleton Place to ensure a continuum of care for older adults across Lanark County. Assisted Living Services can help bring peace of mind to individuals and their family by delivering personal support services where and when they are most needed - anytime, day, evening or overnight.

No matter how hard you try to do all the right things in keeping yourself healthy, like maintaining a good diet, exercising appropriately and avoiding things that are known to cause health problems, there are factors in this mix over which you have little control. Things like genetics can have a huge impact on your health; injuries derived from an accident can have a lasting impact that increases as you age; and, chronic illnesses for which there is no prevention or cause that is identiable can result in diﬃculties with maintaining good health. These various factors can also have a very negative impact on mental health, causing stress, and worry about being able to maintain an independent lifestyle as aging occurs.

Noted naturalist Ken Beattie to inspire at next MVFN talk Community – The Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) will present the second lecture of their new series “When a tree falls in the forest, does anyone hear?” on Thursday, Oct. 16 at the Almonte United Church. MVFN’s guest speaker will be Ken Beattie, noted naturalist and current manager of habitat programs with the Canadian Wildlife Federation. Beattie will inspire with his presentation “Without Education, There Will Be No Conservation!” Beattie has applied his extensive knowledge and experience to urban habitat development, practical environmental projects, food security initiatives, and of

course, education. His professional activities have spanned over four decades and extended to the four corners of the globe. Beattie is renowned on the national and international stage, whether delighting audiences in lecture halls or on cruise ships with his witty and intelligent series of talks entitled The Earth’s Garden, or in presentations at horticultural shows such as Toronto’s Canada Blooms or the BC Home and Garden Show. Beattie has also been the host of award-winning television shows inspired by garden themes and in particular those focusing on wise management of the earth’s resources. He was the

popular host of the live Canadian television series Get Growing. Beattie completed a Niagara Parks diploma in horticulture at the prestigious Niagara Parks Botanical Garden. He is one of Canada’s most esteemed and approachable authorities on most if not all aspects of the plant world and on the relationship between people and plants. Beattie encourages his audiences to live in harmony with nature, even within the conﬁnes of a small urban backyard: “To walk in a forest can, and usually does evoke a deeper sense of self and one’s position within a larger scheme. Not all Canadians have the privilege or opportunity however to

‘walk in a forest’. How then do those of us who have walked in a forest, perhaps even metaphorically, synthesize or translate our experiences to others? Engagement or re-engagement with nature, urban conservation ethic, and demonstrated best practices at home, schools, ofﬁces and governments may have overwhelmingly positive effects on the next generations.” If we were to lose a species or its habitat, does it matter or is it worthy of our attention? It is im-

perative, now and in the generations to follow, that a much deeper sense of understanding, caring and nurturing of our relationship with nature be established such that any threat to even one species or habitat will evoke not only our attention but also effective intervention. Join us for this talk by Beattie: ‘Without Education, There Will Be No Conservation!’ The talk takes place at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 16 at the Almonte United Church social hall, 106 Elgin

Street. Refreshments and discussion follow the talk and there is a non-member fee of $5. For further information, please contact MVFN’s program chair Gretta Bradley at glbradley@icloud.com.

Discover Ireland’s west coast is like a living time capsule Lifestyle – After writing some columns about our adventures in Ireland this summer I was amazed at how many people emailed or stopped to speak to me about the island nation. People are fascinated by Ireland and most of those who have not visited express a burning desire to do so. Some acquaintances recently returned from a vacation in Scotland, one of our favourite destinations. When I asked how they enjoyed it they said it was wonderful. “Ireland is next on our list,” she said emphatically. Perhaps it is the fact so many Canadians can trace their roots to Ireland that creates such interest? That and the enduring mystery of the place, a country which has yet to yield many of its secrets! We were having lunch in a restaurant in Merrickville a few weeks ago when my wife noticed the name tag worn by the waitress and complimented her on her name. She is called Siobhan. And Kathleen, with her Irish experience, said it perfectly. The correct pronunciation is “shiv – awn”. The young lady was thrilled that someone knew how to pronounce her given name. “Nobody gets it right,” she said in amazement. We told her about our visits to Ireland, including the most recent in June of this year. Her face lit up! “I just have to go over there,” she enthused. “Ireland is at the top of my bucket list!”

“single carriageways.” Translated that means two lanes of traffic, one in each direction. In Ireland the majority are narrow, winding and rough. To underline the problems that can occur, we were on a coach trip along the west coast in 2006 when we came upon a car burning fiercely in the middle of the road. We were stuck there for BY JEFF MAGUIRE more than an hour while the emergency Siobhan by the way, which is a services dealt with the situation.

in the most remote areas of Ireland, especially along the west coast. Gaelic, officially ‘Gaeilge’ or Irish, is often the first language among residents of that region. The girl was able to tell him that she had a bad tooth ache and was hiking to the nearest town in hopes of finding a dentist. There was no seat available on the bus, but Martin gave her a dry jacket to help her warm up and invited her to sit on the steps next to him. The hostess for the tour made her a cup of tea which she gratefully accepted, toothache and all. They were able to safely deliver her to the community in question. Everyone aboard applauded and bade a jaunty “farewell” as she set off to find a dentist. That is life in Ireland. Outside of the largest centres it is not a prosperous country in many areas and public transport can also be sporadic at best. During the planned portion of our visit to Ireland in June, Kathy and I and our friends were fortunate enough to visit the area called “The Burren.” Located in County Clare, in the mid-west region of the Republic of Ireland, the Burren is an unbelievably barren place. At first glance it appears to be comprised entirely of rock. It covers an area of 250 square kilometres and contains the Burren National Park, which at 15 sq. km. is the smallest of six designated national parks in Ireland.

During the 15th century conquest of Ireland, led by infamous English military and political leader Oliver Cromwell, his army crossed the Burren. The English were startled by the barren, rockcovered, windswept place. It prompted one of Cromwell’s generals to say, “It is a country where there is not enough water to drown a man, not enough wood to hang him and not enough soil to bury him.” Delightful folks, the Cromwellian army! During our 2006 visit to the Burren Kathy and I saw the impressive portal tomb called ‘Poulnabrone dolmen.’ The tomb, built from large, flat rocks dates back to the Neolithic period and is believed to have been erected between 4,200 and 2,900 BC. Excavations revealed the remains of between 16 and 22 adults and six children buried beneath the monument. Ireland is an ancient land with so many stories to tell. A closer examination of the Burren reveals it has more life than you might think at first glance. When we visited in June the rocky landscape was awash in wildflowers. In fact three-quarters of Ireland’s floral species can be found there. It is an interesting area to traverse, but don’t forget your walking boots. It is challenging.

That’s modern luxury.SM

Helping a loved one adapt to a nursing home home cannot accommodate a life’s worth of keepsakes and possessions. But that doesn’t mean men and women have to leave everything behind. Encourage your loved one to bring along some possessions, such as his or her family photos, a favorite chair or smaller mementos from places he or she visited throughout his or her life. Such items can make a nursing home seem less antiseptic and more like a home. * Set up an e-mail account for your loved one. If your loved one still has his or her mental health, then set him or her up with an e-mail account. This allows your loved one to maintain daily contact with family and friends. Many of today’s nursing homes provide facilities where residents can access the Internet. If not, speak to the staff and ask if your relative can bring his or her own computer. If your relative will be able to routinely access the Internet, consider purchasing a digital subscription to the local newspaper so he or she can When moving a relative into a nursing home, find a further maintain a connection to the community.

close to home and makes routine visits from friends and relatives possible enables men and women maintain a connection to their current lifestyle. A home that is miles and miles away from a person’s support system can foster feelings of isolation and loneliness. * Plan trips with your loved one. Just because an aging relative lives in a nursing home does not mean he or she can no longer travel. If a relative is healthy enough to travel, include them on family trips and outings. This includes more routine events like weekly Sunday dinners, kids’ sporting events and other extracurricular activities. The more involved your aging relative are in the daily life of your family, the more likely they are to see the advantages of living in a nursing home. * Encourage your loved ones to take some personal items with them. When moving into a nursing home, men and women must leave behind many of their possessions. This is a simple space issue, as the rooms in a typical nursing

R0012834180_0821

Many older men and women find the transition to a nursing home somewhat difficult. Men and women tend to see a move to a nursing home as a step toward surrendering their independence, and this can be a difficult hurdle for seniors and their loved ones to overcome. Adding to the difficulty is the fact that many men and women move into nursing homes because their physical or mental status requires the help of a professional nursing staff, leaving family members with little to no recourse when aging relatives protest the move. But there are ways to ease a loved one’s transition into a nursing home. * Keep a positive attitude. The stress of moving an aging relative into a nursing home can be significant for all parties involved. But focusing on the positives of nursing homes, such as around-theclock care and daily activities, can help aging relatives look at nursing homes in a new light. In addition, family members who familiarize themselves with nursing homes will begin to see they are often great places for aging men and women to socialize with others their age while receiving the care and attention they need. When discussing the move to a nursing home, focus on these positives and your relative will be more likely to follow your lead. * Choose a nursing home that’s close to home. One of the more difficult parts of transitioning to a nursing home is the notion that men and women are leaving their lives behind once they move into a home. Choosing a nursing home that’s

is the absolutely breathtaking Cliffs of Moher. Rising 214 metres (702 feet) at their highest point the cliffs stretch for eight kilometres (ﬁve miles), towering above the storm-tossed Atlantic Ocean. We could clearly see the Aran Islands which lie several miles off the coast. I detailed our June visit to the islands in an earlier column. The Aran Islands, by the way, are comprised of the same rock as the Burren. We arrived at Cliffs of Moher on a perfect day, along with several thousand “new friends.” The site is the most popular natural attraction in Ireland with more than one million visitors annually. Just don’t end up there on a foggy day as my parents did on their excursion to Ireland in 2001. The cliffs and the spectacular vistas were totally obscured. Very disappointing! This year we had limitless views and could easily pick out the sweep of Galway Bay to the north and the tops of the Twelve Pins and Maumturks, two mountain ranges in the Connemara region which lies to the north of Galway City. We visited the Connemara during this trip but it would take an entire column to describe the desolate, mountainous, spectacularly beautiful region.

People who live there are often hours away from the nearest large centre (and hospital). There are just over 30,000 people living in the Connemara and more than 20,000 are native Irish speakers. There are several Gaelic-speaking districts along Ireland’s isolated west coast. Of the nearly 90,000 people living in those areas more than 75 per cent name Irish as their ﬁrst language. My friend Martin has a host of good stories from his Ireland tours. One day he was studying a map while awaiting the return of his passengers from a garden tour in the Republic. He wasn’t certain what road would be the best to continue their passage along the west coast. In Ireland the secondary roads are designated by the letter R followed by three numerals. He decided to approach an Irish driver, who was sitting in the next bus in the coach park, for some assistance. When he asked the chap how to get to the R478 or the R760, or whatever route he was looking for, the guy looked horriﬁed. “Oh no – no, no! Around here we don’t know the numbers of the Desmond Devoy/METROLAND roads. We all live local!” If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can Community – The Carleton Place Farmers Market closed for the season on Saturday, Oct. 11.

Take your five senses for a walk in the woods Oct. 18 Community – On Saturday, Oct. 18, Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust (MMLT) invites you to the High Lonesome Nature Reserve to let your ﬁve senses guide you through the woods. Feel the furry fungi. Listen to the pines whispering to you. Reach out and touch the rough bark of the tree and you may just want to give it a hug. Admire the last fall colours contrasting with the deep greens of the spruces. Smell the fallen leaves. Just stop, close your eyes and breathe it all in. Feel your cares drop off like those autumn leaves. While the woods will be full of opportunities for many rich sensory experiences, mushroom expert George White and other knowledgeable natural-

ists will focus on fungi, with all their wide array of colours and textures – woolly, slimy, velvety, crisp or shaggy. They will not only help you ﬁnd, identify and admire the various mushrooms but also explain how amazing mushrooms are and what an important role they play in determining what plants grow in the forest. That mushroom on your plate in future will get much more respect. Immersed in the woods, the quiet is soothing. But wait, there are birds and frogs singing, the trees are creaking and whispering to you. Some of these sounds of nature are so soothing that they are imitated by white noise machines to mask offensive sounds. To enhance the listening experience,

MMLT’s soundscaping expert Chad Clifford will provide opportunities to hear nature’s sounds ampliﬁed in new ways with enhanced audio recorders and headsets. Not only will you be encouraged to detect the differences between the smell of twigs of distinct trees, the soundscaping equipment will focus your attention on how ﬁrs sob and moan, ash trees hiss, beech trees rustle, some evergreens whistle, and then there is that strange animal sound that in fact is tree branches rubbing together. Soon you will not only be hugging trees but talking back to them! High Lonesome Nature Reserve is located in the Pakenham Hills. The 200-acre property is legally protected

forever by Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust. Registration for this journey of the senses begins at 9:30 a.m. with the guided outings leaving the trailhead at 10 a.m. and lasting approximately two hours. Bring your lunch and

gather after your tour to share what you experienced. Be sure to dress for the weather. A $10 donation to the land trust will go towards the maintenance of the property and its eight kilometres of trails and help us acquire other wilderness prop-

erties for the beneﬁt of nature and your well-being. For more information and directions to High Lonesome Nature Reserve, visit www. mmlt.ca or call 613-253-2722. Submitted by the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust.

School Bus Safety Week set for Oct. 20 to 24 for both school boards News – Student Transportation of Eastern Ontario (STEO), the transportation consortium for the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) and the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB), is joining other transportation consortiums and school transportation companies across Ontario, in celebrating the importance of school bus safety during School Bus Safety Week. In Ontario, more than 800,000 children and teenagers ride safely, in more than 18,000 school buses, each day. Studies show that school buses

are the safest method for transporting young people – up to 22 times safer than passenger cars. “Ensuring the safety of students as they enter and exit the bus is crucial,” said STEO general manager and chief administrative officer, Ron Cotnam. “We are training our bus drivers to be cautious, but we need help from parents and motorist to make sure they stop for school buses, as they load and unload children. “No issue is so urgent that motorists cannot wait for a school bus.” The law requires motorists to stop for a school bus anytime it has

stopped to load or unload. In Ontario, buses display red flashing lights, and a stop sign is extended from the side of the bus, to alert motorists to stop. Cotnam offers the following tips for students as they get on and off the bus: • Always remain in direct view of the bus driver; • Always cross in front of the bus, but only when the bus driver signals it is safe to do so; • Always follow the driver’s directions for how to cross the street; • Take ten giant steps back from

the curb while waiting for the bus, and ten steps away when exiting the bus; • Be alert to traffic and look both ways; • Never try to get anything left on the bus after exiting; • Never reach underneath the bus; and • Get to the bus stop in plenty of time. Bus contractors throughout the region will be conducting contests and promotions in conjunction with local schools in support of School Bus Safety Week, and student safety.

Police departments throughout the region will also be diligent in ensuring drivers are following all rules and laws. To obtain additional information on school bus safety, and promotions being conducted, parents and students can access STEO’s website at www. steo.ca. Student Transportation of Eastern Ontario operates approximately 800 school vehicles, which transport 35,000 students, across districts in eastern Ontario.

Upper Canada school board unveils My Family Room parent website News – The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) has announced a new secure website that will help the board inform parents of any crises at its schools and help parents keep their children on track with their studies. The new My Family Room web portal will act as a one-stop, single point of access to all electronic services provided to parents of UCDSB students, said Jeremy Hobbs, superintendent of human resources and operational services. The portal will serve as an urgent notification system. Instead of waiting for letters home about incidents such as lockdowns, the system will automatically inform parents of a lockdown and

that their children are safe and secure, said Hobbs. It will also allow parents to view their children’s transportation, address, phone, absence and health information and update critical contact information such as parent phone numbers or emails without having to go through their child’s school. “It’s all geared toward customer service, making it easier for parents to get the information they need and interact with us,” said Hobbs, who introduced the pilot project at the Oct. 8 board meeting. The portal is also designed to cut down on the amount of paper flowing back and forth between the school and parents, which can sometimes get lost.

“I think a lot of times what happens with students is that things are sent home in agendas or on slips of paper that don’t always make it home, not because students don’t intend to, they just get lost in the hustle and bustle of all the other things a student must do,” he stated. The system will allow parents to see their children’s student calendar and keep track of notifications from their children’s teachers about homework, assignments and exams, helping them keep their children on track with their school work. “This will allow parents to access information in a timely manner that is easier for them so they can be engaged in their son’s or daughter’s learning in a more effective way,” Hobbs said. The site will allow parents to: • Receive phone calls, emails or text messages relating to their children such as absence notifications, school emergencies, bus cancellations and special events. • Customize their contact preferences to receive emergency notifications at one destination, such as a cell phone, while receiving non-emergency messages at another such as a home phone or email address. Parents will be given a secure account to access the system so they can change this information should they change phone numbers, or wish notifications in other ways such as text messages or emails. • View key contact information for their children’s school such as phone numbers and email addresses for principals, vice principals, and office staff. • View their children’s school calendar online including PD days, exam days and

other calendar items. Parents will be asked to visit their school in person to set up their account, which can be done in a matter of minutes, said Hobbs. Second vice-chair David McDonald praised the value of the system. “We are communicating from school-to-home and home-to-school on a regular basis and in an ever busier world the easier we can make it for parents and teachers to stay connected the better,” said McDonald. “And not only will we improve communication, we are allowing our parents to have insight into the work being assigned by a teacher and that means they don’t have to look for daily agendas,” he continued. “They can look at calendars and know when homework is due and tests are coming up, and then we’ve engaged the family into the learning environment of the school and have provided complete support around the success of our students.” Development of the system is complete and the board is piloting it at four schools within the Upper Canada District School Board including: Russell High School, Viscount Alexander Public School, Westminster Public School and East Front Public School. The pilot should be finished by midNovember, and then the board will proceed with a rollout across all of its schools, to be completed by late spring. The board has a series of additional features in the planning stages and will be releasing them over the coming two years. Submitted by the Upper Canada District School Board.

CL450893_TF

Rosa Annie Kwissa, nee Legge, widowed Bedford, was born June 7th, 1924 in England. She was the daughter of poor farm labourers, and spent her early years in a thatched cottage, the youngest of four girls. Her sisters Muriel, Mary and Kit predeceased her. At the age of 17 she went to war, and fought the German air force at Coventry in an epic battle during the Blitz. She was wounded when her anti aircraft gun was discharged amongst she and 11 other young girls, killing eight of her comrades. While searching bombed areas for survivors, she was helped up from a crater by King George VI. During this time she met and married her beloved Stanley Bedford, and left the army as an expectant mother. Stanley was killed in North Africa four months before the birth of their son Donald, and she returned home to care for her son and ailing father. She was a devoted care giver, and looked after her father for five years, before meeting and marrying Witold (Vic) Stanislav Kwissa, a Polish soldier who stayed in England after the war. They had two children, Richard and Vivienne. In 1956, they left England amid fears that the Cold War would bring nuclear war to Europe. Once in Canada, they lived in Ottawa, Twin Elm and Corkery. Soon after arriving in Canada, her husband’s PTSD took control of his life, and the resulting alcoholism and behaviors made her life extremely difficult. She and the three children were left isolated in a rural area with no transport, family or close friends. Finally Donald got his driving license and a vehicle, and the family had access to the outside world. Groceries, clothing and social contact became easier to get. Rosa got her driving license at age 54. She had worked as a cabinet maker and file clerk in an effort to make ends meet. Once she had her own vehicle, she worked at Bell Northern Research and Digital Equipment in the cafeteria. She never made much money, but she kept the bills paid despite her husband’s drinking, and as her children married and became independent, she was able to enjoy auction sales. She was always turning up with some “treasures” in her trunk. In the years to come, she became a doting and supportive grandmother to Tracy and Tobi, and then with the remarriage of her son, to Heath, Jerred and Sara. She never made a distinction between her grandkids, step grandkids and then the 10 great grandkids that followed. She was always generous and no one’s birthday was forgotten. Who will ever forget her payday visits with her grey hatchback filled with bags of groceries, and special treats for everyone, even those who were regular visitors to the house? Animal welfare was her passion, and she donated generously to many wildlife and pet shelter organizations. Once retired, she moved to Carleton Place. She became the family dog walker and frequented all the trails, parks and bush lots around town. Every dog that met her knew that her doggie purse carried special treats for them, regardless of their owner’s instructions. They were her social network, and she was well known and respected in the dog walking community. Rosa had a special relationship with her grandaughter, Tracy, and was a mother, mentor, role model and hero to her. Rosa and Tracy were kindred spirits and always had much to talk about, but were also happy to be in one another’s company enjoying a cuppa. When Tracy became pregnant at a young age, Rosa was supportive and helpful. She had remedies for Tracy’s aches and pains and swollen ankles and was always bringing treats to satisfy Tracy’s various cravings. She adored her first great-grandchild and spoiled Em as every child deserves to be by a grandparent. Em grew up in the warmth of her “GG’s” love and was secure in the knowledge that she was cherished. Later, when Tracy married, Rosa was kind and welcoming to her introverted husband. When Fletcher was born, Rosa was pleased to welcome another boy to the family and was sad to learn that she would not able to meet her third great-grandchild when Tracy and her family moved to the USA. Tracy missed her grandmother very much, and they both wrote and called weekly. Though they were far apart, their relationship remained strong. When Tracy left her abusive marriage, Rosa was there with a resolve that Tracy would not go through her divorce alone. Rosa’s unrelenting loyalty to her family was unmatched; Rosa was determined to do whatever she could to help her granddaughter and great-grandchildren. She was always the first person to offer encouragement and empathy to Tracy and her children. She led by example on how to be a good and kind person. GG was a person that Em, Fletcher and Megan looked up to and cherished. As the years went by, Rosa became more reliant on Tracy to help with her day to day tasks, but they always found a reason to laugh and lament at the tribulations of getting older. Rosa continued to be a source of guidance to Tracy and even during her last days, Rosa comforted Tracy, reassuring her and expressing her love and pride in her granddaughter. Tracy and her children miss their GG greatly, and her absence has left a void. Rosa was a person who believed in honouring her commitments, and she spent 42 years dealing with her husband Vic’s drinking, and it wasn’t until the last two years of his life, when cancer replaced his alcoholism, that his head and spirit cleared enough for him to realize what a fine woman he had married. It was too late to be able to share good times, but a good time to tidy up their life. However, the strain of caring for him, especially in the last years of constant palliative care, damaged Rosa’s health. She suffered from internal issues, and at age 70 she had yet another surgery, but this time it was a young Dr Oake who looked after her and gave her nearly 15 years of pain free living. Later on, lupus, arthritis, heart issues and then failing eyes and ears frustrated her, and yet she still had a perfectly clear mind with all the goals and desires for being active just out of reach. The lack of eyesight and hearing left her isolated, and despite the interaction of her immediate family and caring local services, it disappointed her that so many of the people who she had helped in the past simply stopped calling or dropping in. She was no longer in a position to supply cash, gifts, or services, and she felt somewhat dumbfounded to think that she had given so much, and yet it meant so little later on. On Aug 7, 2014, Rosa died in the Carleton Place Hospital. Many thanks to Dr. Spooner for her compassionate and knowledgeable care; the staff and nurses at the Carleton Place Hospital who made her feel safe and maintained her dignity right to the end of her life; to the excellent emergency and neurological services at the Ottawa Civic; the local branches of the CCAC for their counselling and physical therapy; and the staff from North Lanark Home Care who helped her in her home. In celebration of her life, donations to the Carleton Place Hospital or the animal shelter of your choice would be appreciated. Today her physical pains are over, and we are happy in knowing that she is walking freely and easily again, enjoying her sight and relishing the sounds and scents of long, outside walks, no doubt carrying that big dog walking purse, filled with cookies, treats, and of course a bowl and water for those hot doggies. Penny, Rusty, Johnny Ringo, Mike, Bessie, Holly, Buster, Candy, Frank, Penny, Riley, Belle, Luther, Reg, Sassy, Peggy-Sue, and Beau will enjoy being with her again. And we will never forget her. Bye GG. Enjoy your walk.

can contact any member of the executive as well as Jeanne at 283-9541. Directors assist the society by heading a committee such as membership, plant sale etc. Have a look on page seven of the current yearbook to see the various assignments. You may feel that you can fulfill one on the list. We are pleased and grateful that Anita Friggen has volunteered to take over the treasury position. We are truly grateful to Marion Callaghan for the years she devoted to the position having stayed on even though she was supposed to be temporary. Thank you so much, Marion. Pauline Armstrong, a mainstay in our society has also decided to take some time for herself after many years on the board. Her many talents ranging from encouraging members to participate in the

flower shows to maintaining unprecedented numbers of corporate sponsors and donations will be truly missed. Thank you also Pauline for assisting in the Garden of the Month, one program that obviously improves the pride people are taking in their properties. Please remember that we still have one more flower show. It is “Last Hurrah” show so just bring in anything left in your garden to show. You could consider making an arrangement with your hydrangea blooms and other foliage. Please contact our president, Hope at 613-2751018 for any information you require about your own local horticultural society.

Hit comedy, Educating Rita, at Station Theatre for next two weeks Arts – Educating Rita, the stage play that won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Comedy in 1980 plays at the Smiths Falls Station Theatre for two weeks starting Friday, Oct. 17. Written by Willy Russell, the comedy features two actors whom audiences will remember for their sparkling performances in Looking: Katharine Coleman and Michael Adams. The comedy follows the relationship between a young Liverpudlian working class hairdresser and Frank, a middleaged university lecturer, during the course of a year. Susan (who initially calls herself Rita), dissatisfied with the routine of her work and social life, seeks inner growth by signing up for and attending an Open University course in English Literature. The play opens as ‘Rita’ meets her tutor, Frank, for the first

time. Frank is a middleaged, alcoholic career academic who has taken on the tutorship to pay for his drink. The two have an immediate and profound effect on one another; Frank is impressed by Susan’s verve and earnestness and is forced to re-examine his attitudes and position in life; Susan finds Frank’s tutelage opens doors to a bohemian lifestyle and a new self-confidence. Educating Rita has its funny side for sure, but director Jamie Schoular sees something more emerge in the interaction between the two principals. “For me the most meaningful bit of dialogue occurs in act one, scene four when Frank says ‘When art and literature take the place of life itself, perhaps it is time to...’ and Rita interrupts with, ‘But it’s not takin’ the place of life,

it’s providin’ me with life.’” he says. “She then goes on to describe how, if you don’t know what you don’t know then life can seem pretty good, but if you are aware there can be something better, or in her words, other ‘choices’ your life could be so much more fulfilling.” “The thing about this play,”says Schoular, “that makes it a little different from some of the other plays that we have done is that the characters are real with real issues and real challenges. It is a play about the British class system, no doubt about that, but it transcends culture and present the audience with two people who could be from anywhere, even Lanark County, who are trying to overcome stereotypes and break free from the prejudices and preconceived notions that have held them and others like them back

Perth council debate is the talk of, and about, the town

Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Perth council candidates have agreed on such contentious issues like climate change and a land transfer tax, but yet engaged in another charged debate on railway crossings and train whistles. The seven candidates to fill the five town council positions met for a debate on the stage of the Perth and District Collegiate Institute on Wednesday, Oct. 8, in the run-up to the Oct. 27 vote. It was sponsored by the Perth and District Chamber of Commerce in collaboration with Metroland Media’s Perth Courier. (The mayor and deputy mayor positions have been filled by acclamation, though John Fenik and John Gemmell, respectively, sat together at the back of the auditorium during the debate.) Incumbent councillors Jim Boldt, Judy Brown, Jim Graff, and Ed McPherson squared off against challengers Riq Turner, Donna Silver and Mike Mosher. Land transfer tax Toronto instituted a land transfer tax, and it instantly became one of the lighting rod issues of the 2010 mayor’s race, with outgoing Toronto Mayor Rob Ford cutting the rate. Other Ontario towns and cities, such as Thunder Bay, Mississauga, Ottawa and Hamilton have applied this tax, but, as the former assistant to former Ottawa city councillor Clive Doucet, Silver was not sold

purchase a home or property. “I would oppose it,” she said. “The fact that big cities are proposing this shows that they are not living within their means,” added Boldt, who pointed out that he was the only councillor to vote against raising development charges at a recent meeting of council. “We’re already in a great position fiscally,” said Turner. “I don’t see why we would need a new tax.” Earlier in the evening, in the opening remarks, there appeared to be unanimity about the town’s tax rate. “Taxes are too high in the town of Perth,” said McPherson. However, whenever he hears this complaint, he replies by asking “What do you want us to cut?” adding that that could mean cuts to Conlon Farm, the library or the ice rink. “The taxes are high here,” said Brown.

current bylaw, perhaps it is time to adjust the bylaw,” said Silver. Turner however urged residents and the town to “create a dialogue,” with businesses since “we need to co-exist. Usually there is a communication breakdown and people choose sides.”

Noise complaints One questioner inquired about noise complaints against a local factory, but Brown noted that “outside of that (involving bylaw enforcement) there is not much else we can do if it is within the levels set down by government.” McPherson noted, sarcastically, “I love train whistles at night, when there are 20 of them,” he said, before adding that it was the goal of town council to deal with these complaints within 24 hours. “I’m sure the issue will get dealt with by the proper person,” said Mosher. “If it is not in excess of the

Train whistles Train whistles in the heat of the night appear to be Perth’s perennial issue. Mosher said he would love to sit down and discuss the issue, but Graff underlined the stark differences in opinion that bedevil the issue. “If you grew up near them, they don’t bother you, if you didn’t, they drive you nuts,” said Graff, who suggested that CP Rail could help instill a consistent application of the horn policy amongst its train engineers – who run the spectrum from a quick toot at railway crossings in town, to laying on the horn all the way from one end of town

Boldt, however, sang the same song, but with a different tune. “The council’s money is not our money,” Boldt said. “It is the money of our friends and neighbours,” before adding that he wanted to be the “fiscally conservative voice on town council.”

to the other. “The train whistles don’t bother me or my family,” said Turner, who noted that the issue was of more concern to some citizens than it was to others. Boldt said that he lived in what he called a “haunted house” near the intersection of Victoria and D’Arcy streets, near the hospital and the public high school, and, for the first six months, he could not sleep because of the night trains – but, in time, he got used to it. “I’m certainly ready to talk about it,” he said. Brown stated that the town would need to demonstrate to CP Rail that banning train whistles at night could be done safely. “Whistles don’t bother me,” Brown said. “Safety would be my biggest concern. We can look at it again.” Later in the meeting, the Isabella Street rail crossing was brought to the auditorium’s attention, with Turner stating unequivocally: “Wow. That’s a bad crossing.” He suggested that the town could get CP Rail to come down and drive across the crossing, to see for themselves, which may get some action. Mosher agreed, stating that there was a design problem with the Isabella crossing. Silver said she wanted all rail crossings in town to be as safe as the crossing at Wilson Street, but McPherson pointed out that “we See DEBATE page P4

The Perth Fire Department conducted the annual “Smoke Alarm Blitz” Wednesday, October 1st, 2014. Twenty-three Volunteer Fire Fighters took part in the program, going doorto-door to offer assistance and advice about smoke alarms. The numbers for this year are as follows: • 257 residences visited • 154 people were home and opened their doors • 61 alarms were given out (most to replace alarms more than ten years old) • 35 replacement batteries given out Since March 1st, 2006, it’s been required that smoke alarms be installed on every level of your home and outside sleeping areas. Results still indicate that 7% of households do not have an alarm on every level. There are still smoke alarms and batteries available to residents of Perth. The Perth Fire Department also offers Fire Extinguisher Training to local industry and service groups. The propane fired extinguisher tutor is used to offer the training. Pictured above is 3M Canada staff member, Glenda Sly, participating in the live fire demonstration.

Climate change When asked, if they were elected to council, they would sit on a climate change panel proposed by the mayor, Boldt responded, “I would be 100 per cent for it,” before adding that “it disturbs me that Canada does not support the Kyoto Accord.” Silver went 10 per cent better, saying she was “110 per cent in support of that committee. Bring it on.” (Earlier in the evening, in his opening remarks, Boldt had described himself as “an ideological conservative.”) Brown also said she supported the idea, but cautioned, “I am not sure what we can do at this level,” but said that it was better than nothing since, if the town does not look at the damage, and potential damage, that could be done, “it will be irreversible.” Graff said he would want to know what the terms of reference for such a committee would be before signing on, but McPherson added that “after the summer we had, and the winter we had,” that he is more convinced that something is up. “I would be more than happy to support anything the mayor puts forward on this,” said Mosher. “It’s better than noth-

(But) we can look after our own house.” Bike lanes Mosher, having sat on Perth council before, acknowledged that the issue of bike lanes has been brought up before, and that it “has been somewhat overlooked in this community.” He noted that bike lanes can also be a tourist draw.

“I would encourage the development of more bike paths,” he said, a sentiment echoed almost verbatim by Silver, “an avid cycler” who said, “I would encourage more bike paths and lanes,” though they may be better suited to side streets with no on-street parking. Turner said he likes Perth’s current bike lane infrastructure – “all two blocks of it.” “(On) some roads, you don’t feel safe,” said Turner. “There is a way to share the road.” Boldt however noted that Perth will be 200 years old in

funding he had mentioned earlier, “zero is attainable,” if the planets align. “Capital should not be pinched,” he said. Coun. Ed McPherson, who chairs the finance committee, reminded council that less than a decade ago, “we borrowed $1 million to keep the town going,” but that, by 2009, “we said we won’t do that any more,” and there was no more borrowing thereafter. “This thing (the budget) is like the Titanic, and it will take 10 to 15 years to turn it around,” McPherson said. “I’m not in favour of zero per cent tax increases… (since) you pay for it down the road.” He agreed with Fenik that, in future, “there is no

money coming” in from the province, but stressed that “there was never a plan to cut services in this municipality. We are not going to make people suffer.” Coun. Judy Brown, who chaired the meeting, noted that she and other councillors running for reelection were receiving “a consistent message at the doors, that taxes are very high,” but she noted that the tax increases in recent years were within the rate of inflation. There will be one day set aside for budget deliberations on Friday, Jan. 30, 2015, starting at 10 a.m., just under two months after the new council is sworn in on Tuesday, Dec. 2.

Hogue adds name to Lanark Highlands election roster

News – The following information was provided to us via email from Bret Hogue, who is looking for a spot on Lanark Highlands council. I am the owner of 55 beautiful Lanark Highlands’ acres in Watson’s Corners, where I have lived with my wife and four children for more than 15 years. I also own a cottage on Widow Lake, near Flower Station. Professionally, I am a firefighter for the City of Ottawa and operate a small farm, raising chickens, sometimes pigs, vegetables and producing maple syrup. I am also an avid orchardist and apiarist. Following an OMB appeal against the Township of Lanark Highlands to allow development on my cottage lot in Lanark Highlands, I began following municipal politics closely and am familiar with the issues and negotiations concerning the municipality over the past several years. Deciding to enter into the election race in Lanark Highlands was an easy decision - I want to make a difference in my community and help correct the issues and inefficiencies I see happening at town hall. When I am at council or catch up on the local news, I am frustrated by the lack of common sense approach there seems to be to politics. I would like to help change that - after all, the money being spent frivolously are my tax dollars. I would like to see a 2015 council made up of people who have a clear, unified vision for the future of the municipality and can work together to see it happen. I feel the most important issues are fiscal management, transparency and accountability. We need to put our tax dollars back into the community, into our services, and we need to spend these

term. I ran for election as a councillor in the last election and returned to council. I chose to run because I believe that the township has moved forward positively, adapting to changing circumstances and I am pleased with our progress. We have made over the years since amalgamation. I think that I have something to offer and would be honoured to serve another term. We must continue to move forward and prepare for increased development pressure, which is inevitable. Council must be wise in its development decisions so that we do not sacrifice our natural assets simply for the sake of greater tax revenue. I believe that a balance exists between these interests and that we can have development and safeguard our natural environment.

Scissons seeks second DNE term projects and provide some continuity to the next term. I think my experience in municipal government is an asset to council. Top priorities are: continuing road update program. We have a long range plan and hope to expedite if funds become available; tackle budget issues such as OPP costing which will have a significant effect on tax bills; promote sustainable growth and possible commercial development. In the next 10 to 20 years, I see us having moderate but continued growth. This is being fueled by Highway 7 expansion to Carleton Place and some job creation in Smiths Falls. A recent study predicts a population of about 8,400 in 2023 I think the voters should consider experienced candidates to tackle the challenging time ahead.

Somerville throws his hat in the ring in Drummond North Elmsley election race News – The following information was provided by Michael Somerville via email, who is seeking election in Drummond North Elmsley Township. Somerville is a strong entrepreneurial-minded individual who continues to push the borders on what is possible in a modern Canada. For over 10 years he has been taking in everything this community has to offer, before fully relocating his family. As a two-year resident of Drummond North Elmsley Township, Somerville his finance Nicole, daughter Hailey and son Lennox enjoy rural life living just outside of Perth. Although Somerville answers to no one - the world of employment, his self-made successes continue to fuel his dreams and empower his goals, which led to him opening a business in downtown Perth. This is where he has been able to see the inner works of this community and meet new people daily. If you know Somerville, then you know his goal was to always become involved with politics; knowing when he would pull the trigger has been a ques-

tion amongst his family. With all the past events at the provincial and federal levels, Somerville believes now more then ever we need to have strong voices with a backbone representing us. He believes right now, starting in 2014, we need to make changes and have people in the chairs that will listen to the community and press for action, rather then pushing the matters off time and time again. Matters that Somerville believes need to be addressed are: development, public works and holding the corporation accountable for delivering incentives that will impact our future. Looking at Drummond North Elmsley Township, there has been a lack of infrastructure, new development and overall growth.These things stem from the costs to acquire permits and overall willingness to allow them. We need to address these issues in order for the community to thrive, but short of that, for the Corporation of Drummond North Elmsley Township to progress. Asking Somerville where we will be

in 10 to 20 years as a community, he believes that question is subject to condition. If we don’t allow new voices to dedicate our future, empower the laws that we live by and set-forward new policies we will fail as a community. If you look at the council members that have been in power for multiple turns, you need to ask yourself, what change has there been. Somerville holds strong opinion that - It’s our right as Canadians, to enlist people to speak on our behalf. If those people have other social agendas, then we need to address that and allow new voices to come forward. His motivation is to empower the residences represented at council, by asking, “why” and “why not”. So on, Oct. 27, he wants to ask that you vote for change, not just change in council, but change in vision. “We need to embrace more as a community, remember your opinion doesn’t just affect the next four years, but has a ripple effect that can last forever,” says Somerville.

Farrell looks for vote for Tay Valley’s Burgess ward News – The following information was received via email from Judy Farrell who is seeking election in Tay Valley Township. My name is Judy Farrell and I have lived in Tay Valley all my life. Born and raised in Fallbrook on a farm where I learned how to work hard. I finished high school and attended business college. I married my husband Howard and moved to Burgess 42 years ago. After that, I raised four children and now have four grandchildren (the joy of our lives). We run a beef farm and a maple syrup production. I worked 15 years for a local contractor as the office manager, have driven a school bus for 40 years and operate a ministorage business. I’m involved in community and church activities. This is the first time I have run for council in Burgess Ward, Tay Valley Township. I have always had an interest in council but my husband worked for Tay Valley for 40 years so I felt it was a conflict of interest if I were to sit on council. This is the first election since he retired. Using common sense and accountability my top priorities include the proposed OPP costs being pushed on to municipalities. Encourage economic development of our township. Support conservation for the protection of our lakes and rivers and listen to the concerns of the people in our community. I can see Tay Valley Township with a bright, economically stable future in the next 10 to 20 years. I believe in commitment to family, community, environment and the rural way of life. I would consider it a privilege to represent you and your family and be your voice on Tay Valley Township council - Burgess Ward.

Dobbie makes run for council position in Tay Valley News – The following information was received by letter from Fred Dobbie who is running for a council position in Tay Valley Township. My name is Fred Dobbie and I am a first time candidate for councillor for Bathurst Ward, Tay Valley Township. I live on the 6th Concession, Bathurst, with my wife of 17 years, Donna Dobbie. I am a father of two; stepfather to three and a doting grandfather to eight. I love to spend time with all of my family any chance I can get and especially love taking my grandchildren for rides through

our property on the Range Rover. I am a lifelong resident of Tay Valley and in 1974 I partnered with my brother, Norm Dobbie and founded F&N Dobbie General Contracting Ltd., which will soon celebrate 40 years in business. After 31 years of selfemployment, I was able to retire in 2005 at the age of 57 to enjoy my hobbies which include flying radio-controlled model airplanes and helicopters. I am currently the president and chief flying instructor of the Perth Flying Club and have been for the past six years. I am also a collector of

service station memorabilia and classic cars from the 1950s and 1960s. After five years of retirement, I decided to get back into the work force part time and allow myself to offer peace of mind to parents as a safety-focused school bus driver. I have four years of perfect attendance and was awarded a safe-driving award and have current CPR and defibrillator training. I have many reasons for running for councillor in the election with my top priority being personal which is to look out for the future of my children and

grandchildren as well as yours. My political reasons for running include: • I see a need for change in leadership with new candidates and ideas. I have been attending council meetings since March this year. • I strongly oppose the 20 per cent increase in property taxes due to the police formula. • I want to see a change in obtaining permits, to make it easier without all the regulations. • I want to see growth in our community in housing as we are currently at a five-year low in new building permits for con-

struction. We need to look at increasing housing and property placed sub divisions because this would increase revenue for Tay Valley with the possibility of lower taxes. • I want to strive to have the lowest taxes in the county by the end of my term. • I want to see us get our share of government tax grants for road improvements and upgrades. I am proud to run for councillor because I believe that you are looking for a confident, passionate, credible, forward-thinking leader with a drive for change. I believe I am that person.

Fred Dobbie

News - The following information was provided by Greg Hallam who is running for a seat on council once again, in Tay Valley Township. My wife Margot and I have been on Black Lake for 18 years. I own and operate my own local business, Summit Security and Bralex Telecom. Prior to my term on council I have been involved with non-profit organizations and numerous community groups. I have always had an interest in municipal government and these past four years have taught me many things. I am a four year veteran on Tay Valley council and I am running again as I believe that my common sense approach over these last four years has had a positive influence within our township. The next term on council will enable me to continue to be a part of the prosperity, economic growth and sustainability within our municipality. I am confident that with our strong township staff currently in place council’s goals will come to fruition. On everyone’s mind right now is the OPP Billing Model and the changes being imposed on Tay Valley Township. I will be looking at ways to minimize the tax increase to property owners as a result of this billing model. Our infrastructure of roads and bridges is aging. Tay Valley has over 300 km roads, 23 bridges and 625 culverts. We

need a strong plan in place for proper ongoing maintenance and repairs so that we can extend the lifespan of existing roads and multiple roads do not need major work at the same time. Economic development within Tay Valley is an ongoing issue. Promoting and retaining businesses in our municipality will employ people with the hopes of the younger generation living and working here this will only increase our tax base and our resources for example – our volunteer firefighters. In the next 10 to 20 years I would like to ensure that the agricultural community stays status quo or even expands. It is important to have strong working partnerships with our neighboring towns and municipalities to make sure that we have accessible health care, recreational facilities, educational facilities as this can only attract new families to Tay Valley Township. Tay Valley is known for its lakes and outdoor activities. We need to work on keeping our lakes and rivers healthy and sustainable for generations to come. This can only happen if we have a strong communication line with our residents and council. Tay Valley Township does not have physical polling stations. Our residents will be receiving a Personal Identification Number (PIN) in the mail early

Texting hits spelling

Opinion - One of the hats I wear involves teaching communications to students in a variety of programs at the Perth Campus of Algonquin College. This semester I happen to have four (count ’em) first-year classes and one second-year group. While the messaging around good communication is pretty similar for each, the groups are fairly diverse: masons, carpenters, social services workers, police foundations and even high school students. In the 15 years I’ve been teaching there I’ve noticed a few things. For one, we got a beautiful new building. Another obvious thing is that spelling, grammar and punctuation seem to have taken a rather large hit in this age of texting. While there are certain “pros” to this constant connectivity and the ability to communicate rapidly, I wouldn’t count facilitating a strict adherence to the rules of grammar, punctuation and spelling among them. It’s a funny balance, though, because abbreviations and acronyms are a huge asset in notetaking. (Emoticons? Not so much.) When I was in high school I took a shorthand class, and it has served me so incredibly well. I learned Forkner shorthand, which is a combination of omitted vowels and squiggles/strokes. I still use shorthand today, although it is not quite as true to form as it used to be. If you see me taking notes somewhere and then glance at the page, there’s a good chance you will walk away thinking I have the world’s worst penmanship. Or you might think I am a secret agent writing in code. (That second one is more fun. Let’s go with that.) Anyway, shorthand helped me with notetaking in school and then as a reporter. Even today I sit through a lot of meetings and interview people for my public relations work. All of this is to say that, in a way, texting is a new form of shorthand. Between short forms and acronyms, not to mention devices that guess what your next word will be, it’s little wonder spelling out the long version of words has become a pesky task. Still…we really must try, kids. After all, sometimes a person who is employed in a real job in a real profession is expected to string a few complete sentences together and have them well spelled and punctuated. (Remember, you probably want to say “Let’s eat, Grandma!” rather than “Let’s eat Grandma!” unless you are related to the Big Bad Wolf.) Recently I gave my first-year students

Past Deadline

Stephanie Gray

a short writing assignment. I asked them to make a comment in an online discussion about the importance of proofreading one’s work. I emphasized that if I found any blatant spelling or grammatical errors, they wouldn’t receive full marks. “You must definitely use spell check,” I said, and I meant “definitely,” not “defiantly.” (That one happens a lot.) Definitely: certainly; without doubt. Defiantly: openly disobedient; rebelliously. See? Defiantly using spell check seems like an oxymoron. Who wouldn’t want you to use spell check? Oxymoron: when apparently contradictory terms appear together. Anyway…proofread, I sez. S’important. That very week, whilst wearing one of my other non-teacher hats, I was in a texting conversation. I was in a bit of a hurry, and what I thought I wrote was something about “doing the passiveaggressive thing.” I set aside my phone and wandered away to do other stuff. When I picked it up almost an hour later, I had a message waiting that said: “What’s a passive-aggressive thong?” Omigod. Thong? I wrote about a thong to someone I have to deal with in a rather professional way! Fortunately that person has a very good sense of humour. Something else I teach: Know your audience and adjust your tone accordingly. I guess part of keeping business correspondence professional means including fewer underwear references? (Unless you work at Fruit of the Loom.) So there you have it. The best part is this was a true proofreading error – I can’t even blame autocorrect because “thong” is a word. Now I have to decide whether an underwear reference is an appropriate teaching example. I should also work on a design patent. One thing is for sure, next time I will defiantly proofread. And I sure hope I caught all the unintentional errors in this column…sentence fragments not included.

Our news editor had some fun on the weekend with her cow calling abilities. She had this herd of young Holsteins running to the fenceline in no time.

Unplugged and stress free pinion - I’m taking a lesson from my guy and it’s energizing. It’s about cell

phones. He doesn’t have one. I know. Imagine my horror when I found that out! So it’s not hard for him to be ‘unplugged’ during the day/week/weekend. He also has no use for a computer – I know, right… what? No social media either? I am plugged in 24/7. Well, I used to be; now when I’m with him, I have no use for the phone or computer either. It’s actually quite liberating. When I am with him, he is the most important person in my world. I don’t have any intention of staring at a screen when I’m in his presence. At first, it was a little difficult, I must admit. I would leave my phone at home then go to his place. We talk, we sit outside, we play cards, we watch some television, we go for a drive, shoot some pool… we have a life outside technology and it’s

LAURIE WEIR Weir View amazing. Unlike my last relationship where his cell phone and computer were his portals to his other selves (and there were many other selves), this relationship is refreshing. I am not wondering to whom he is talking, texting, or emailing explicit photos. There is no fear of him not being in tune with me. I return that same courtesy. It’s about respect. There is also nothing worse than being out with friends who are constantly on their phones. I was guilty of that too, even with my family, and now I think being on my phone in their presence is a waste of time. Yes, I had the proverbial wake-up call.

If I’m with someone in the flesh, I want to be there… I am engaged in the face-to-face conversation and not off in space looking at the latest blog, or sharing photos or texting with someone else… you know, living life on Facebook (I’m aghast – there really IS life outside Facebook… imagine!) My cell phone is not my life; well, not anymore. Is it too much to ask others to show the same respect? If not, I don’t care. I just don’t make it a habit of going out with them too often when it’s obvious it’s not me they want to spend time with… it’s their phones. It’s a pity, really. Social media is not social at all. It should be called anti-social media. Because really, when you are engaged with your screen more than you are in real life, you are losing touch with those around you. Those who matter. Those who care. About you! I enjoy people; but I also enjoy unplugged time now that I have seen

Homelessness March Rural youth homelessness isn’t something we physically see every day, but that’s doesn’t necessarily mean it doesn’t exist. In fact, last year, Cornerstone Landing Youth Services interviewed 392 students from both Perth high schools to ﬁnd out that more than 20 per cent of them had been homeless for at least one day and more than seven per cent had been homeless more than 10 times. But the common image of homelessness doesn’t usually translate. Instead, youth will stay a friend’s place and couch surf until they ﬁnd a place to live. At this point, there are no 24/7 emergency housing resources in our community for homeless youth. To help heighten community awareness on the topic, YAK Youth Services, along with Cornerstone Landing and Kelford Youth

Services, will host a Rural Homelessness March on Oct 17. The march will begin at 5 p.m. at YAK and make its way through downtown Perth. They’ll then gather at the Band Stand behind Town Hall where speeches will take place. The following Monday, Oct. 20, there is a Youth Homelessness Conference at Code’s Mill hosted by the same three groups and Lanark County. Here, the 10-year Housing and Homelessness Plan addressing youth rural homelessness will be covered and the day will also include a shared story from a youth, a panel discussion, and Keynote speaker Dr. Stephen Gaetz. For more information about both events, you can contact YAK at 613-264-8381. Walks with Tux When out with Tux last week, we spotted the Lioness Club members distributing their famous homemade apple pies at the Fairgrounds. Each Thanksgiving, volunteers get together and take pie orders from the community. I spoke with Edna Coutts about it, and she said this year they made more than 1,100 pies. She said the ladies have a good time getting together to bake the pies. The money they raise goes back into their program, which is to provide community outreach. If you missed out on the pies this year, don’t miss out again. They’re homemade deliciousness and you’re helping out the community. It’s a win-win, really. Have a Private I idea for me?

We left for a week in Massachusetts at the end of September with the intent to enjoy the fall colours and revisit the amazing Norman Rockwell Museum in the Berkshires. As I sat in the central room of the museum I observed and was again moved by the illustrations of Roosevelt’s four freedoms as painted by Rockwell. Freedom of Speech. Freedom of Religion. Freedom from Want. Freedom from Fear. We are called, in every freedom loving country, to support, fight for, argue for, negotiate and even pray for the continuation of these rights, built up and declared by the ancestors who came to Canada and the U.S. hoping for a better life. In today’s world we have many challenges to these freedoms. Perth council debated one of them recently based on the request to fly an awareness of pornography harmfulness banner over Foster Street. Democracy at work! Thank you council members for your debate. “Knowledge is power” is the motto of a secular club I respect and encourage to fulfill its pledge to educate, support and protect women and children everywhere. Some of its members were participants in the organization presenting the banner and the guest speaker, Joy Smith, MP from Manitoba. Some of them were Christians. Should that matter? Not in my club. Not in my world. It seems to matter to Mr. Fenik. I am hopeful that this is a misunderstanding of his words.

As a grandmother of a nearly fouryear-old I would explain the banner to him as a message that caring people want to help children and keep them safe. I recognize that others are not comfortable with its message. As a member of St. Paul’s United Church I would say to Mayor Fenik that church is community, church is mandated by its faith to be loving and caring and giving and I believe most people, “religious” or not, recognize the value of the church community alongside the state (council?). Many live out the same values without participating in a church/faith-based community. Is their voice more acceptable? I hope it is no more, no less. Our freedoms at work. I attended the presentation of Joy Smith and wish the hall had been full of parents, educators, youth workers and, yes, even critics. Her words and her passion in seeking to protect the vulnerable from both pornography and human trafﬁcking is admirable. Her knowledge of the extensiveness of this threat was educating, and I was grateful to have been invited to come and learn. She reminded me of Flora McDonald in her delivery and dedication. Perhaps this recent episode of concern will be a catalyst for dialogue and conversation leading us to good relationships regardless of our beliefs. I believe... “if we do not live together showing our love and caring then when evil comes calling, it will prevail.”

how stress free life can be without being attached to my phone or computer when I don’t need to be. In my career, enhancing our website and social media pages and knowing how to get them working together is part of my daily challenge, but it’s nice to be able to just turn it all off when I’m home… with my guy. We have not been texting each other all day so we have something to talk about at the end of it. Imagine that! I enjoy that time. I enjoy him… I enjoy feeling loved and treasured in a relationship free of technology and not having to worry about who is vying for his attention online or on a cell phone. And he doesn’t have to wonder about who’s interrupting us via my phone either. There is no one more important than him when I am with him. Not one… well except for Mom if she’s got a dessert to deliver.

Glory to Thee! St. James the Apostle Anglican Church, Perth

Opinion - If you’re anything like me, you’re not able to purchase the Halloween candy you plan to hand out to children until about 4 p.m. on Oct. 31. Otherwise, empty wrappers of mini Mars bars will be littered around the house, and you’re forced to go back to the store to get more treats. Or, am I all alone on this one? But one way you can better prepare for Halloween night is to stock up on some nonperishable food items and ensure they’re by the front door. That’s because students from St. John Elementary School in Perth may be asking you for more than just candy on Halloween night. Organized by the school’s social justice group, Free the Children, students have been encouraged to take part in the Scare Hunger initiative. It’s an effort to collect items for The Table, our local food distribution centre, while out trick or treating. If a student plans to take part in the initiative, they’ll swing by the neighbourhood they plan to visit on Halloween night a week ahead of time, and distribute ﬂyers announcing intentions to collect food. That way, candy distributors can prepare for when a trick or treater greets them at the front door with the food item ask. Now that’s Halloween planning I can plan for ahead of time. But there’s still no guarantee on the candy. Checking in on the Baillons Have you checked out the Baillon family blog yet?

I recently read the article entitled “MP says Fenik not showing leadership on porn banner”. For the record, I believe that banners flown in the Town of Perth should be restricted to Perth’s festivals and events. I do not believe it is appropriate for religious organizations, coalitions or political lobby groups to utilize town property and resources to fly banners. In regards to my lack of leadership, I would like to say that my entire life has revolved around the protection of children, speaking out against violence towards women and advocating for the rights of LGBT youth. When it comes to leadership, I will let my record speak for itself. Sincerely, John Fenik Mayor of Perth

Porn issue causes concern for resident (The following is an open letter to the town council of Perth regarding the Be Aware Campaign and the pornography banner issue.) Please stay out of the bedroom of your citizens and stop trying to look over their shoulders. Members of town council’s individual morality is their own business and should not be discussed or demonstrated during the course of duties as elected officials. In my opinion, this campaign is a thinly-veiled religious organization that is trying to bring back censorship to Canada based on religious authority. Church and state are separate in this country and publicly-funded support for organizations that support censorship is not welcome in a free society. Please stop using tax dollars and public resources to control what people are allowed to see based on an individual’s own moral code. Josh Sullivan McDonalds Corners Road

What is pulmonary fibrosis? I have been asked that many times. Although this devastating disease is as lethal as many cancers and the number of diagnoses is increasing, across the country as well as in our own community it remains a mystery to many. That is why the need is so great to bring awareness to as well as raise the much needed research funding. PF is a deterioration of the lungs, scar tissue is formed preventing necessary oxygen to support body functions. There is research being conducted but at this time transplant is the main treatment. That involves possible long waiting periods for compatible organs, a tremendous financial burden, that is after being considered a viable candidate. On Sept. 21 we held our second chili dinner at the Perth Lions Hall. I am very excited to report such a successful event again this year. With the help of family, friends, the many who attended, Lloyd and Steve Clyne, Mark and Grant for providing great entertainment and the many businesses that graciously provided auction items and food, we raised over $3,600. Including two previous years a total of over $12,700 as well as another $2,000 from two obstacle runs organized by Brian has been forwarded to the Canadian Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation. I sincerely wish to thank everyone in helping with my endeavour to bring hope to victims of this dreadful disease. With God’s help I intend to continue this fight. Barb Rancier Perth

The football season is soon coming to an end, so if you haven’t yet seen the team play, check our Facebook page for upcoming games. Last week both junior and senior girls basketball teams travelled to Almonte to face their two teams for the second time around. Both teams had a fun and exciting game, and played great!

Rodger seeks election in Highlands

Green-minded candidate enters town council race Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – She may be new to town, but Perth town council candidate Donna Silver has hit the ground running when it comes to getting involved locally. “I’m more interested in doing things than just talking about it,” said Silver, during a telephone interview this past Monday. She only moved to Perth in May of 2013, and was involved in the Perth Transition Town’s “Let’s Talk Resilience” project, is on leave from the Lanark Climate Action Network, and also volunteers at The Table Community Food Centre. She has also founded a local branch of the “Giving Harvest” project. “There is a lot of food waste,” she said. “How can this be happening when people are going hungry?” One example of how food that would otherwise have gone to waste is instead ending up on the plates of those who most need it, comes from the crab apple tree outside of the ofﬁces of the Perth and District Chamber of Commerce. Where they otherwise would have stayed on the ground, Silver’s group now scoops them up for those in need. A local farmer has also donated acorn

squash, and she is headed back out to his property again to harvest some late corn. She filed to run for council last month, and amongst her top concerns is making Perth’s streets safer. She feels that Gore Street is rather dimly lit at night, making it “not so great for bike riding in Perth.” She is also concerned with the quality of water in the Tay Canal and affordable housing. On the housing issue, she admits that “I know that is provincially financed… and run program, (but) that does not mean we cannot have a voice on it,” she said, especially when it comes to homeless youth. “They are here in Perth,” she said. She will be taking part in the Rural Homelessness Awareness March that will leave the offices of the Youth Action Kommittee, 1 Sherbrooke St., on Friday, Oct. 17, at 4 p.m., making their way over to the gazebo behind town hall at 5 p.m. She moved to Perth because “I wanted to be in a smaller town, like what I grew up in,” she said of her small hometown north of Sarnia, Ont. She lived there until the age of 12 when her parents moved their family to Toronto. She was a small businesswoman before she joined the offices of Coun. Clive Doucet in Ottawa as an assistant.

News - The following information was provided by Peter Rodger via email, who is seeking election in Lanark Highlands Township. I am currently employed with a local landscaping company. I also have experience working with the public and have experience in various construction trades. I have lived in Lanark Highlands outside of Middleville for my whole life, 38 years. I continue to live here in Ward 3 now with my wife and sevenyear-old son. Twelve years ago I joined the volunteer ﬁre department at Middleville Station 2 and I continue to provide ﬁre services to our community. This

is my first election campaign, however I believe I have the necessary skills and abilities to work with the other council members to make wise decisions for the taxpayers. I have chosen to run in my first election campaign because I want to contribute towards making informed decisions for our community. If elected, my top three priority issues are accountability, transparency and being financially responsible. Council can achieve this by requesting supporting documentation with written reports. This will enable taxpayers to see that council is being accountable, transparent and finan-

cially responsible at all times. We need to spend the money wisely by making informed decisions. I can’t predict what our community will be like in the next 10 to 20 years but I feel the decisions being made today and in the near future, will have an impact. Lanark Highlands has a small tax base that covers a large area. This creates a lot of challenges. Travel and tourism is important now and will continue to be important in the next 10 to 20 years. I am young and eager. I am hoping to bring a new perspective to council with different ideas and different outlooks that will beneﬁt our community.

Avery seeks re-election in Tay Valley Mahon seeks spot in Highlands News – The following information was received via email from Tay Valley Township council hopeful, Bill Avery. My name is Bill Avery and I am a retired UCDSB high school technology teacher. I have worked and lived in Lanark County my whole life and have been a Bathurst Ward councillor since 1988. I have been chair of the Planning and Waste Advisory Management Group from 2003 to present. I have chosen to seek re-election as there are still many challenges in the term ahead and I feel that my 23 years of experience places me in an important role, as there are possibly five new faces on council even if I am re-elected. My top three priority issues at this time are: 1) The financial dilemma that most local rural municipalities are facing is finding revenue/funding/taxation that will lessen the increasing costs to the municipality, particularly in light of the staggering increase in the cost of policing in our community; while at the same time maintaining and building our reserves. 2) We need to attract and keep businesses and industries in our community in light of our stagnant projections for population growth; and the fact that residential development in itself does not provide adequate revenue to sustain the community. I believe that one of the best ways to do this is by building on the home-based businesses that we have. By changing some of our planning regulations and zoning requirements we can make homebased businesses more attractive, affordable and profitable. This will also help keep residents gainfully employed in the community.

3) Maintaining landfill capacity for our future residents and reducing the costs of operating these areas. An expansion could be added to the current re-use center to include reusable construction waste and a composting area for household and yard organics. In the next 10 to 20 years I see Tay Valley as a vibrant community where residents either live and work here or in nearby communities and we have not just become a bedroom community for people employed in the city. I see our lakeshore residents as a more stable population, having developed or redeveloped most of the shoreline in a responsible manner, and will have maintained or improved the water quality with the use of better shoreline strategies and improved septic system technologies. I see a healthy segment of our community involved in home-based business; providing many services to local residents, as well as, making products to sell outside of the community. I see our agricultural sector to have evolved in many ways. There will be some large farms both cash crop and dairy working in a sustainable manner. But most importantly, there will be many small niche farmers growing and producing foods for local and city markets. These will be done sustainably and be profitable for the farmers and the community while maintaining Tay Valley’s rural character. I would like to thank the voters and candidates for their interest in the issues faced in today’s community. Please vote and please continue to stay involved in council issues.

I have worked 27 years for the Ontario Fire Marshal’s Office and faithfully served on the Pike Lake Cottage Association. I’m an active member of The Ontario Landowners Association. I love the beauty of nature and consider myself an ecologist and friend to the environment. I became interested in Tay Valley council when I looked into the proposed new Official Plan. I was startled to find that if a lake association requested, a bylaw would be enacted for that lake prohibiting the owner from cutting any vegetation on the first 100 feet of their property from the shore.

This seemed like an intrusion. A group of us fought this and successfully had it removed from the plan. Tay Valley has a bit of a reputation for hindering development due to bureaucracy and red tape. I would like to see a more welcoming council. There is also the problem of unelected conservation authorities that have many rules that change more often than the climate! We all recognize the importance of the environment, but let’s keep it reasonable. Let’s try to find ways to bring some employment to the municipality. Reduce onerous taxes on people providing employment. Encourage hiring people who live in Tay Valley. With respect to the large tax increase being imposed due to the OPP billing, we can’t afford it. Let’s examine other ways to provide the protection needed by our residents.

Campbell seeks deputy reeve’s role on Tay Valley council News - The following information was received by email from Tay Valley Township deputy reeve hopeful, Brian Campbell.

Skills Link program opens doors News - Are you under 25 and looking for work in the Perth, Smiths Falls area? If so, you can apply for YAK’s (Youth Action Kommittee) Skills Link Employment Readiness Program. YAK is preparing to host another Skills Link Employment Readiness Program for youth between the ages of 16 and 24. The program will be run by the Youth Action Kommittee of Perth and District (YAK) and will provide Group-based Employability Skills (GBES) and Employability Skills through Work Experience (ESWE) to 24 youth with barriers to employment. The project will provide an opportunity for participants to develop life and employability skills, work experience and the knowledge necessary to make a successful transition to the labour market or return to school. Applicants who submit both of the following items will be considered for one of the 24 spots in the Skills Link 2014/5 project: On-line application (found at www.YAKyouth.ca/skills-linkprogram) Resume or a detailed list of all employment, volunteering and education emailed to YAKyouthcentre@gmail.com

with the subject line of “Skills Link Application”. The Skills Link program has changed. Here is what the new format will look like: Participants will take part in a variety of workshops that will run for seven hours per day, five days per week, for a total of 35 hours per week. Workshop topics will include: job search skills; improved resume and cover letter writing skills; interview techniques; networking; workplace etiquette; workplace communications; decision making and problem solving; team work; conflict resolution and an introduction to negotiations skills. This phase will consist four days a week in an employment placement and one day a week in training and workshops, for a total of 35 hours per week. Workshops will be set up to meet the needs of the participants and could include: job search and computer skills; an introduction to the local business community; delivering what employers want; networking with social media; customer service skills; safety in the workplace; budgeting and managing money; entrepreneurship and career action plan de-

velopment. Work experience placements will be geared to each participant’s employment needs and interests as outlined in their Employment Action Plan. The work experience component will occur at various private sector employers in the surrounding rural communities. The work experience connects the workshop learning with experiential learning in the workplace. YAK staff will assist the participants in making this connection through on-the-job coaching, support, and problem solving. During the work experience, YAK will provide ongoing support to the participants in order to help them adjust and thrive in their work placements. Throughout the project, participants will be paid an allowance and a wage equivalent to the Ontario minimum hourly wage while in the workshops and work placements. For more information you can contact YAK at 1 Sherbrooke Street East, Perth ON K7H 1A1, call 613-2648381 or yakyouthcentre@gmail. com. Visit www.YAKyouth.ca Facebook: YAK Youth Services.

It was a busy season to say the least and only possible through the work of many hands. The gardens have over 30 committed members and volunteers. All make sure that the community gardens are a healthy and welcoming space where we share recipe ideas, gardening tips, and lots of laughter. One volunteer, Diane, has given innumerable hours tending to the food we grow. She loves to garden - a skill she learned from her father – she’s an excellent cook, and she has a passion for making preserves - a skill that she shares with her grandkids and through workshops at The Table. She also clearly sees the link between food and health. Diane has lived with two seri-

Sports – Coach Colin Glenn could only sigh in exasperation when asked what happened to the boys after last weekend in Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League action. The Perth Blue Wings lost a tough 1-0 game to the Ottawa Canadians, one of the top teams in the league Friday night at home, in front of a record crowd of over 600 fans. Then Sunday, after playing “only 20 minutes of hockey” they had their doors blown off by the Shawville Pontiacs, 8-0. Six of those goals came in the second period. “The defensemen had their jockstraps turned inside out,” Glenn said, as to how Shawville busted through the blueline so easily. “Total

mental lapse. It was not anything the goalies did or didn’t do. It’s something that we’ve already called the defensemen out on.” Despite Sunday’s loss, the coach was pleased with their performance Friday night in the 1-0 decision to the Canadians. “They played well Friday,” Glenn said. To have that momentum do a 180 on Sunday was a tough pill to swallow. How do you rebound from a loss like that? “Practise hard, and rebound,” Glenn said. “Get some high-tempo practises in and go over it again and again. Work on the fore-check and the defensive zone coverage and hopefully they’ll get it.” He adds that the Blue Wings have to “buy into that” game plan and come to the rink prepared. “Unfortunately, some of them still have that

minor hockey mentality,” he added. The Friday night game was highlighted by announcer Riq Turner’s news that he and his wife have become new parents to a bouncing baby boy – Nash – who tipped the scales at over nine pounds. Turner was in the stands that evening giving away prizes and getting fans into the game. According to Glenn, owner Michael McLean is doing everything in his power to entice the fans out to the games, and that’s coming on like gangbusters. “Michael’s putting out a lot of incentives getting the fans out, and he’s doing a great job,” Glenn said. “I just wish we could get him those two points.” The Blue Wings are on the road this Friday night as they travel to Renfrew. On Oct. 24, Perth will host Stittsville at 7:30 p.m.

Split for Spartans

Sports – The Notre Dame Catholic High School’s junior Warriors handled the St. John Catholic High School Spartans easily in LCIAA action on Thursday, Oct. 9 in Perth, defeating them 41-30. Spartan Chloe Howard (4) goes to the hoop during second quarter action but is stopped by Taylor Bradbury. Spartan MacKenzie Fournier (23) is pictured left of Howard. The senior Spartans earned a 53-18 win over the Warriors.

Sports – A local athlete who bides his ‘free’ time playing with the band, Fools Like You, has recently returned from the Commonwealth Games in London, England with a bronze medal. Steve Needham of Perth competed in a judo/wrestling combination sport, sambo on Sept. 27 and 28. “I competed in the first (inaugural) Sambo Presidents Cup and the Commonwealth Sambo Championships in London, England,” Needham said. He represented Canada with Nick

Tritton and Adam MacFadyen. “As a team we placed third in the Presidents Cup, competing against countries from around the world and then as an individual I placed third in the Commonwealth Championships on Sunday, earning myself and teammates invites to the Pan American Games in Trinidad and the World Championships in Japan,” he said. Tritton, two-time Olympian also from Perth, did well, winning gold in his weight class. Needham is a trainer/

coach at Tay River Reflections and says he is “excited about the training and opportunities for me and for others that this sport can give.” As a new sport there is lots of room for growth and interest. For anyone wanting any more information or interested in the sport or training, Needham can be reached at Tay River Reflections Fitness Centre Monday through Friday. It is located at 279 Canal Bank Road, just outside of Perth on Highway 43.

Emergency Vehicle Access to Your Laneway Limited Access May Affect Emergency Response It is important that a fire truck or ambulance be able to use your laneway when responding to an emergency call at your house or cottage. The owner of a building in the Township is responsible for the access to the building from the traveled portion of the road to the building. An access that is not suitable for a large pumper truck or ambulance may affect the effectiveness of emergency personnel responding to an emergency call at that location. Laneways, including Private Roads, should be snowplowed and sanded when required. A minimum clearance width of 16 feet is suggested (which includes road width) with a clearance of 20 feet overhead (guideline only). Any turns or corners must be wide enough to allow the trucks to drive directly to the residence. It is also important to ensure that your blue and white civic address sign is clearly visible.

Amend Schedule A, Land Use, to remove a portion of the Agricultural designation along the east side of Harper Road between the 5th and 7th Concessions of Bathurst to reflect the historic village of Harper and the poorer soil in the area and to remove the triangle of land bounded by the Upper Scotch Line, Scotch Line and Kelford Road to reflect its inconsistency with the Agricultural designation. Create a new Schedule C to identify Natural Heritage Systems in Ecoregion 6E. C. Add a minimum of 15 new subsections to the Plan covering the following topics: Business Park, Arts and Culture, Night Skies, Affordable Housing, Climate Change, Secondary Suites, Significant Woodlands, Significant Valleylands, Source Water Protection, Subwatershed Plans, Rideau Canal World Heritage Site, Narrow Channels, Shallow Waterbodies, Backlot Development, Residential Limited Services.

A KEY MAP is not provided here as this comprehensive amendment of the Official Plan applies broadly to all lands within the municipality. Some property-specific changes have also been applied and land-owners are encouraged to check the new Schedules (maps) to determine the classification of their holdings.

Sports - In Lanark County Interschool Athletic Association senior boys volleyball on Wednesday, Oct. 8 at Smiths Falls Collegiate Institute, the Perth and District Collegiate Institute Blue Devils ended the day with five wins and three losses. The team had wins against Almonte (2), Carleton Place High School (1), SFDCI (1) and Notre Dame Catholic High School (1) with losses to NDCHS (1), CPHS(1), and SFDCI (1). “This was a good day of volleyball and some of the best competitive games yet with long never ending rallies,” said PDCI coach Kelly Paul. “Today was definitely a test of endurance.” The LCIAA tournament format action continued yesterday at St. John Catholic High School in Perth.

Ladies Day to promote good heath News - There’s plenty of fun, food, and frivolity in store for Ladies Day at Foodsmiths on Thursday, Oct. 23, from 12 noon until 6 p.m. Activities will include demos, mocktails, warm appetizers, mini-makeovers, and in-store draws for great prizes, all in support of Lanark County Interval House. The focus will be on health, with complimentary body-boosting mocktails like the Chai Chai, a blend of Chai and Matcha Green Tea Protein powder, or the Snappy Momma, made with tart cherry juice and ginger beer. Chef Rob Mullett will be on hand to offer his own designer appetizers, inspired by health-conscious foods available at Foodsmiths. As well, there will be cooler offerings, like Chevre Cheese, Dream Come True biscotti, and LIVE Kombucha, (a fermented tea beverage that is good for you). And what Ladies’ Day would be complete without chocolate? Fine Chocolate by Ludwig will be providing taste samples, with Ludwig himself manning the display. Mini-makeovers will be offered by our resident Esthetician, Robyn, using clean cosmetics by Mineral Fusion. Revitalize your look with these “Minerals on a Mission” that are 100 per cent vegetarian, cruelty free, and contain no SLS, phthalates, artificial colors and synthetic fragrances. As well, Mineral Fusion is partnered with the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, a U.S. based group, to help raise awareness and

show survivors of domestic violence that they are not alone. Demos by Andalou, a dynamic body and skin care company, Lorna Vanderhaeghe, Inc. manufacturer of supplements designed for women, and Novisyn Oral Hyaluronan, a hyaluronic acid taken orally for improved joint mobility and softer, younger skin, will all be here to discuss women’s health issues. Foodsmiths plans to raise funds for LCIH through their popular BYOB program (Bring Your Own Bag). For every bag a customer brings in that saves the use of a new plastic bag, Foodsmiths donates 10 cents to charity. Each month, a new local charity is selected, and the charity’s name appears at the bottom of each customer’s cash register receipt. The program saves thousands of bags from ending up in landfill sites, and every year, thousands of dollars are raised for local charities. October’s charity of the month is Interval House. As well, Foodsmiths will match dollar for dollar all donations made on Ladies Day, and will offer complimentary swag bags to customers who make a donation to LCIH. Foodsmiths hopes this year’s inaugural event will be successful enough for an encore next year, making Ladies Day an annual event!

Family favourite Oliver! the musical brought to life Community - A much-loved family musical joyously comes to life this fall with the Perth Community Choir’s production of Lionel Bart’s Oliver! The Musical. This timeless, enthralling tale of a mistreated orphan boy who befriends loveable rogues and misfits and narrowly escapes danger before finding love with long-lost family first came to the London stage with Lionel Bart’s adaptation of Charles Dickens classic novel by the same name. The Perth Community Choir (PCC) has been presenting large scale musicals for over thirty years. Recent hits have included The Wizard of Oz, Sweeney Todd, The Secret Garden and Anything Goes. David Bird, who starred in the Cowardly Lion, was in the chorus of The Secret Garden and directed Anything Goes, has long wanted to bring the magic of Oliver! to Perth. “Oliver! is an enduring tale of good triumphing over evil, of the redemption of both a boy and his long-lost grandfather through love and a woman who is willing to sacrifice everything to save another,” David said. “It also brings home the message that people shouldn’t be judged by their appearance. It’s a family friendly musical that is going to appeal to a wide audience with its well-known, toe-tapping hit songs such as Food, Glorious Food, Consider Yourself and Omp-pa-pa. It’s a show that has everything: humour, suspense and a happy ending and a lot of great music and songs along the way.” The PCC is experienced at presenting musicals but they still present their own challenges advises this year’s producer Marilyn Bird. “Musicals are expensive because of their royalties,” said Marilyn. “It requires a lot from your cast as they need to be able to act, sing and dance.

Oliver! is especially difficult as you need younger people too. On top of this you also need a musical director, a choral director, a choreographer and an orchestra. Fortunately we are well blessed with talent in Perth and the surrounding area. It’s amazing what we have right here on our doorstep and I know our audience will be amazed too.” David Bird, as well as directing (assisted by Ron Cosens) also plays the loveable rogue Fagin. Of course being an upstanding member of the local constabulary he does not personally identify with the head of a den of thieves and pickpockets. “Although you have to admit Fagin does have a certain style and charm,” said David. Real-life couple Kristy Tait-Angel and Chris Angel will bring to life Nancy and the villainous Bill Sykes. Gary Welsh, Caitlin Doyle, Adam Reid, Caitlin Morton, Ally Henley, David Parry and Andrew Wake all bring a touch of humour to the unfolding drama delivering strong character roles. “Having been involved in the local

“but this show has been a real eyeopener with respect to both established performers and the up-coming talent we have here.” Oliver, the hero of the story, is played alternately by Madison Miernik and Hilary Fournier, combining both sensitivity and gumption. His mischievous side-kick, the Artful Dodger, is played by the twinkle-eyed Andrew Kryskow. “As with any musical the backbone to the show is the chorus,” added David. “Our youngest member is just eight years old and our oldest is over 70. As well we mustn’t forget that this is a musical and we are fortunate to have an excellent and committed set of musicians that form our orchestra under the baton of Don MacKay.” “A show this size requires a tremendous amount of work and team effort,” said David, “both on stage and behind the scenes. The set and the number of costumes and props are particularly challenging when you’re working with a large period show and a very small budget.” Oliver! The Musical opens Friday, Oliver! the musical will come Oct. 24 and runs Oct. 25, 30, 31 and Nov. to life as the Perth Commu- 1 at 7:30 p.m. and Oct. 26 and Nov. 2 at nity Choir’s production will hit 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for the stage on Friday, Oct. 24 at seniors and students, $10 for children (12 the Mason Theatre, Perth and and under) and a special rate of $50 for a District Collegiate Institute. family of four.

MVFN publishes book based on natural history lectures Community – The Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) host natural history talks throughout the year in Almonte. These lectures have been taking place more or less regularly since the club’s founding in 1988. You do not need to be an expert to enjoy these presentations, just a fascination and curiosity for the natural world! Speakers are experts in their fields, often at a world-class level. The information provided, whether giving insights into a particular species or habitat or even a global environmental issue, is up-to-date, and there is a focus on the local perspective. This means the lectures really are worthy of and likely of interest to a larger local audience than attend the talks. In order to spread the word to a wider audience, volunteer MVFN reporters diligently write up accounts of the talks for the local media and for posting on the club’s website. As one of several 25th anniversary initiatives, MVFN decided to publish these lecture reports in book form last year. The first volume, Natural History Lecture Series of the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists 2013 is now available on loan from the Almonte branch of the Mississippi Mills Public Library. The book and individual lecture reports are also available for download from the MVFN website at mvfn.ca. Accounts of other MVFN natural history lectures may also be found on the website as well the announcements of upcoming lectures. We invite you to visit there to learn more about the natural world! The book includes reports of natural history talks for two series: Trends in Fauna and Flora and Nature Beneath

The Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) recently published a book on their natural history lectures and presented a copy of it to the Almonte branch of the Mississippi Mills Public Library recently. From left: Cathy Keddy, Pauline Donaldson (co-editors of the new book, along with Jim Bendell); Pam Harris, chief executive officer/chief librarian of the Mississippi Mills Public Library; MVFN member Yvonne Bendell and Jim Bendell. our Feet held between September 2011 and May 2013. Topics include Citizen Science Networks, Lanark County Soil FUNdamentals, Ground Beetles-My Favourite Group and other topics ranging from salamanders, arctic ground-

nesting birds, flying squirrels, green ‘aliens’ and more. Also included in the volume are the speaker biographies and contact information, and some key references. The book includes a dedication to Mike McPhail, president of MVFN

from 2006-2009. MVFN’s goal in providing the information is to contribute to a broader understanding and greater appreciation of our natural environment, and wiser interaction with it. In addition, in reading a report or biography, perhaps

a young reader will be inspired to follow in the footsteps of one of the expert speakers. The lecture reporting project would not have been possible without the dedication of the following people who authored reports: Joel Byrne, Mary Robinson, Fred Schueler, Lynda Bennett, Jim Bendell, Linda Mosquin, Pauline Donaldson, Mike Macpherson, Cliff Bennett, Eugene Fytche, Christine Hume, and Elizabeth Wiles. All are active and passionate volunteers for nature, several having served on the board of MVFN, and all enthusiastically gave their time and effort to provide excellent details of the talks, as well as their own personal insights and impressions. Cathy Keddy was the inspiration behind the lecture series and coordinated the lecture program as program chair for MVFN from 2008-2014. Project organizers and editors were Pauline Donaldson, Cathy Keddy and Jim Bendell. MVFN thanks Peter Nelson, former head librarian of the Town of Mississippi Mills Public Library for his advice and encouragement with the project, and also Pam Harris, new chief executive officer/chief librarian of the Mississippi Mills Public Library. MVFN’s natural history lectures began again for a new season earlier this September. The talks take place in the social hall of the Almonte United Church on Elgin St. in Almonte. Mark your calendars for the next presentation on Thursday, Oct. 16. Watch for speaker details in the local media and on the website. Submitted by the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists

Lending a helping hand to small business of the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC), which sponsors Small Business Week each year. “To prevail, they need the right preparation and a solid roadmap. That means fostering excellent customer service and supplier relationships, applying sound ﬁnancial management principles and hiring the best people.” But for any business to succeed, whether it’s the small candy shop on the corner or the shoe store that’s been in the family for generations, they need support and that’s where organizations such as the Small Business Advisory Centre (Smiths Falls/Lanark County) can help. Located at 91 Cornelia Street West, entrance B, the centre, which serves en-

trepreneurs and businesses in Lanark, Smiths Falls, Perth, Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills, aids those starting a new business but also provides business advisory services to existing ones. And much of the resources are free of charge. “Whether you have a business that is home-based, retail, service-based or manufacturing, there is material waiting for you,” the centre noted on its website (www.smallbizcentre.ca). “Our walk-in resource centre is full of useful literature available to the public including supplier directories, associations, sample business plans, franchise manuals, Canadian Almanac, market research data and information on various types of

businesses.” While any business owner can walk in and pick up those materials at any time, the centre offers one-on-one consultations for those who need help in a speciﬁc area. Some of the information they can provide includes start-up procedures, business plans, record keeping, budgeting and cash ﬂow, taxes, market research, sales and marketing, employees, expansion, licences and permits, as well as government information and incorporation. Any business must be registered and the Small Business Advisory Centre can also walk clients through the process, step by step. As a partner of Canada

Let’s take a closer look at TFSAs and how to avoid tax penalties. • TFSA investments are not tax deductible but they do grow on a tax-free basis. • The annual TFSA dollar limit is indexed to inflation in $500 increments and for 2014 the limit is $5,500. • If you don’t use your maximum contribution room every year, it accumulates year after year, so you can use it any time you choose.

Manage Your Money o Plus the amount of withdrawals from a previous year (excluding withdrawals of excess contributions, qualifying transfers, or other specified contributions). o Plus any unused contribution room from previous years. • If you make a withdrawal, the earliest you can ‘earn back’ your TFSA contribution room is the first day of the next year after the TFSA withdrawal was made. And this is where many TFSA-holders are running into unexpected taxes: At any time of the year, if you contribute more than your allowable TFSA contribution room, you will be considered to have over-contributed to your TFSA and you will be subject to a tax equal to 1% of the highest excess TFSA in the month, for each month you are in an excess contribution position*. Here’s an example: o You have maximized your TFSA contribution room for 2014, but decide to withdraw $4,000 for Christmas shopping. Assuming that you have no additional contribution room from previous years, if you were to re-

contribute this $4,000 before the end of 2014, you would be considered to have over-contributed and would incur tax penalties. However, if you wait until January 1, 2015, you would have ‘re-earned’ the $4,000 contribution room and could contribute up to that amount in your TFSA without penalty. When you know the ‘rules’ and follow them, there are many ways a TFSA could work for you. Your professional advisor can help you get the most from your TFSA and every other element in your overall financial plan. *Canada Revenue Agency, cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/ndvdls/tpcs/tfsaceli/cntrbtn-eng.html.

Since their introduction by the federal government in 2009, Tax-Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs) have become a favorite savings option for many Canadians – and with good reason: TFSAs provide tax-free savings growth and easy, tax-free withdrawals at any time for any purpose. Almost anyone can benefit from a TFSA – but if you have one, be careful because there is one not-well-understood recontribution rule that could cost you an unexpected tax hit. That mistake: Making a withdrawal from your TFSA and replacing the money too early.

Noteworthy musings from the motorway south of the border Lifestyle – Filing this week from Florida after a two-day vacation drive south with the family and a few things on the road stuck out as noteworthy to pass along. First, in New York I loved the reminder signs warning about the dangers of texting while driving. They have renamed their interstate roadside rest stops as ‘Text Stops’ with the tag-line; a text can wait. I also appreciated their laws on texting that pulls the driver’s licence of anyone racking up three textingwhile-driving infractions. Junior drivers (those with learner permits or probationary licences) loose their driving privileges after the ﬁrst offense. If we want to get serious about reducing electronic driver distractions in this province we need some stiffer rules like New York’s. Next, why can’t we have provincially owned noncommercial rest stops? The I-95

highway from the New York/ Canadian border to Florida is full of them and all have plenty of parking, great restrooms, fresh water and vending machines. Even the best of our highway fuel stations with their multibillion dollar fast food empire backed facilities can’t compete with the U.S. Interstate reststops for clean functional restrooms and picnic areas. Highway signage is also a point where the eastern seaboard states have us beat. Every exit has a series of signs indicating which fuel stations, motels, and restaurants are located at the bottom of the ramp so it’s easy to ﬁnd exactly what you and your car-mates are looking for. The businesses are all listed combined uniformly designed signs and are found at predictable distances from each exit ramp. Traveling through large cities on multi-lane highways

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

can be stressful enough even when using a good quality GPS navigation device to help guide your way. When faced with ﬁnding the correct lane for an exit or merge onto another route, several states have come up with a great solution. Overhead signage can be confusing when it comes to getting the correct lane so their highway departments have taken to painting the route number on the pavement itself. This takes all the guesswork out of selecting the right lane and carries a minimal cost. “Hey Brian, So I have a 2004 Toyota Corolla S with about, 270,000 km on it, with custom stereo,

speakers, led lights and some other parts. I rear-ended someone and apparently the repair costs to my Corolla are around $6,400 and the insurance company has considered it a write off. At this point in my life I can’t afford another car payment. Is there any way to not make it a write off and keep the car? Everything else is ﬁne in the car, the airbags didn’t deploy or anything it’s just the front end. I don’t think anything structural got damaged. I just want to keep my car instead of getting a new one. Thank you for your time.” You can request that your insurance company allow you to

keep possession of your vehicle and take a cash settlement for the damages. Be warned that a cash settlement is usually considerably less than the damage estimate and might not be enough to repair the vehicle. Then there’s the issue of reregistering a vehicle that has been deemed a total loss by an insurance company. Before this vehicle can go back on the road it will have to go through a very rigorous inspection and repair process by a specially licensed repair shop. My advice would be to get such a shop to provide an appraisal and opinion as to whether this is feasible

and/or practical. If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, [By email to emc@perfprint. ca or directly to bjoeturner@ hotmail.com listing ‘Question for the Car Counsellor’ on the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 5 Lorne St., P.O.

Arts – Currently playing at the Studio Theatre, it’s Beth Henley’s celebrated comedy/drama Crimes of the Heart starring Gina Tremaine, Scott Duncan, Patti Greer, Mary Ann Majaury, Tracy Noonan, and Andrew McDougall, and directed by Barb Guthrie. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and New York Drama Critics Circle Award, Crimes of the Heart is the touching and very funny story about three sisters in the deep South, each trying to escape their past. Don’t miss the brilliantly imaginative Crimes of the Heart in its last three performances, this Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m., and Sunday, Oct. 19 at 2 p.m. For details visit studiotheatreperth.com. Here, long-suffering ‘Lennie’ (Gina Tremaine) can barely endure the way her nasty cousin ‘Chick’ (Patti Greer) flirts with the bemused ‘Doc Porter’ (Scott Duncan) who has returned to town after marrying – of all things – a Yankee!
