Rise Above the Mud Saturday for hospital Saturday marks the annual Rise Above the Mud obstacle course race to benefit the Smiths Falls Hospital Foundation. Registrants are asked to be at the Gallipeau Centre (watch for signs and head behind the building) by 8 a.m. for registration. There will be 5km and 10km events, including an elite race that is a world OCR qualifier. “We’re raising money for two large pieces of equipment this year,” Lise Smith executive director of the foundation said. “A new state-of-the-art ultrasound machine and a Hanna bed.” Smith said it’s fundraisers like these that enable the foundation to keep a steady flow of funds going to the hospital to purchase these necessary pieces of equipment. “If we didn’t have these here, people would be having to go to Ottawa or Kingston and who wants to do that? We need to support our own hospitals — and this is a great way for the entire family — and have some healthy fun doing so.” This is the third annual fall fundraising event for the Smiths Falls Hospital Foundation and $12,000 has been raised over the last two years.

Hugh Colton is gearing up for the six-week Build a Mountain of Food campaign that services food banks across Lanark County and into Leeds Grenville. With a new title sponsor, Hinton Auto Group, the 11th annual running of this colossal fundraising effort will kick off early next month with the official launch in Perth. Colton has been busy lining up his stops and touching base with the hundreds of people who make this work. “I couldn’t do this without the huge amount of support that I get,” he said from Smiths Falls Nissan, one of the four dealerships under the Hinton Auto Group umbrella. The other three dealerships include Smiths Falls Ford, and in Perth, Hinton Dodge and A & B Ford. “We’re really looking forward to this event,” said Kevin Hinton from Smiths Falls Nissan. “This is a great opportunity for us to be able to work with Hugh on this — whatever he needs, we will be there.” Hinton said it was also a great opportunity for the Hinton Auto Group to get even more involved in the community and to work alongside those volunteers at filling the food bank shelves. Colton said the campaign will start in Almonte and Carleton Place on Nov. 4, at the various grocery stores involved. Then they will break for a week to honour veterans and families on Remembrance Day. “We won’t be doing a collection on Nov. 11, which is a Saturday this year, so we can honour our vets,” Colton said. “We will pick it up the following week, Nov. 18, in Lanark and Perth.” Then it’s off to Smiths Falls on Nov. 25, then into Elgin and Westport on Dec. 2, Portland and Merrickville on Dec. 9, and will finish in Athens and Delta on Dec. 16. “We’ll also be recreating the float for three parades this year,” Colton said. “We’ll be in Carleton Place Nov. 25, Perth Dec. 2 and Smiths Falls Dec. 9.” And something a little extra special this year will be an event in Portland during the drive weekend there.
“On Dec. 15, we’ll gather together for a Portland Community Christmas and have a family night,” Colton said. “This night is dedicated to him.” This is to honour Doug Good and Mike Carty, who were instrumental with Build a Mountain, and many other activities in their community. The former Rideau Lakes councillor Good, and his friend Carty, died in March this year when crossing the Big Rideau Lake in a vehicle that subsequently went through the ice. Both men drowned. “Doug did a lot of work with me,” Colton said. “He was my go-to guy. Anything I needed, I just asked Doug and it all worked out. He was a great community volunteer and a good friend. Both men contributed to Build a Mountain, and in their community." Over the past 10 years, the Build a Mountain of Food campaign has garnered over 720,000 pounds of food and $372,000 cash for the 11 food banks in this community. Last year, the drive collected 164,695 pounds of food and nearly $109,000 in cash donations. That’s a far cry from its humble beginnings in Perth only where $3,200 cash was collected along with about 5,000 pounds of food. “I’m humbled by the amount of tremendous community support that has happened from year one,” said Colton. “People are so generous during this campaign because they know their donations will stay right in the community where it was given. People care. They understand there is a need and continue to fill those shelves every year.” Please watch a future issue (or www.insideottawavalley. com) as more details about dates, places and times will be revealed, as we talk about the launch in a few weeks.

Actions for economic development plan coming The team leading the county-wide economic development strategic planning process is set to update stakeholders throughout the region at a meeting Oct. 5 at 1 p.m. in Lanark County Council chambers. Valley Heartland Community Futures Development Corporation, Lanark County and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs are leading the process, and the leadership team is ready to provide a progress report and to see the draft action plans that have come from data analysis, local knowledge and stakeholder input. All economic development stakeholders throughout the region are invited to attend. “We are well over the halfway mark in the process of developing the strategic plan,” says Stacie Lloyd, Regional Economic Development Officer for Valley Heartland. “The collaborative process began in May, and we are on track to have the plan completed in November with a roadmap to guide activities and help make decisions on future economic development programs and services for the county.” All local municipalities have been taking part and driving the process through leadership teams and working groups consisting of more than 40 local business owners, retired business owners, hospital board members, politicians, municipal staff, economic developers and entrepreneurs. Broader participation has included interviews and an online questionnaire with community and economic development stakeholders throughout the region. More than 338 questionnaire responses were received from business owners, residents, a few students and more than 30 economic development/service or-
ganizations representing an even larger number of respondents. “In addition to sharing their ideas of what makes Lanark County a great place to live, work and play, stakeholders provided excellent comments on areas to improve and ways to help Lanark County thrive,” Ms. Lloyd said. “The four dedicated working groups have been very engaged throughout the process, with the latest working group established to analyze stakeholder input and develop the evidence-based action plans for the plan.” Common themes include support for entrepreneurs, business retention and expansion, planning for growth and investment, and foundational community economic development, with many areas of overlap and interconnectedness. “We appreciate the thoughtful input from all respondents and the municipal leadership teams,” Ms. Lloyd added. “Their feedback has helped to identify strengths to build on, our competitive advantage, areas to focus efforts and common themes.” “The input and collaboration of everyone involved in this process will go a long way to ensure we have a strong economic development strategic plan,” said Warden Bill Dobson (Montague Reeve). “I encourage stakeholders to come to the meeting on Oct. 5 to further contribute to the draft action plans for a strong economic future for our county.” Updates on the strategic planning process can be found at http://valleycfdc.com/strategic-planning/. For more information, contact Ms. Lloyd at 613-283-7002 ext. 106 or e-mail EcDev@valleycfdc.com.

What if … you could produce your own power and sell it to the grid on a 20 year Government Contract for a profit? You can with the Ontario MicroFIT program which ends Dec 28, 2017.
This is the last chance to get paid actual cash for generating Solar electricity with the MicroFIT program. New customers need to apply by December 1, 2017 and get approved by the end of the year. Installation will be in the spring of 2018 in time for the summer’s sun. If you have a large roof that is relatively shade free you could earn as much as $300 per month with a cost as little as $160 per month if amortized over 20 years. At the end of the MicroFIT program you would own a solar energy system that is generating free electricity for your home. Interested to find out more? Ashley Kulp/Metroland

October is Child Abuse Prevention Month
October is Child Abuse Prevention Month. On Tuesday, Oct. 24, communities across Ontario will dress in purple to break the silence and show their commitment to children’s rights to safety and well-being. On Dress Purple Day, we acknowledge that it takes a village to keep kids safe. Everybody in the community plays a role in supporting children’s rights. Children’s aid societies will be working collaboratively during October for Child Abuse Prevention Month and Dress Purple Day with boards of education, key partners in supporting the safety and well-being of children and youth. Schools play an important role in keeping children safe and in helping families that may need support to help keep their children safe. Family and Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds, and Grenville (FCSLLG) has invited all elementary and secondary schools in Lanark, Leeds, and Grenville to participate in Dress Purple Day on Oct. 24. We have asked school staff and students to dress in purple, talk about children’s rights to safety and well-being, and tweet a photo of the school/classes dressed in purple with the hashtag #iBREAKtheSilence. On Oct. 24, FCSLLG will host a Dress Purple Barbecue event at both our Brockville (438 Laurier Blvd.) and Perth (8 Herriott St.) office locations between 11:30 and 1 p.m. FCSLLG staff, foster parents, school board personnel, and the media are invited to share a barbecue lunch together in support of Child Abuse Prevention Month. About Family and Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds, and Grenville Child safety is our top priority. FCSLLG protects children so they can grow up safe from abuse, including physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, as well as neglect. FCSLLG is a non-profit organization that serves children and families in the counties of Lanark, Leeds, and Grenville and their surrounding areas. We are commonly referred to as a child welfare services agency or a children’s aid society. We have a role under the law. We support families when they need it and, when required, take the necessary steps to make sure children are protected. We carry out our work under the Ontario Child and Family Services Act, which requires us to investigate possible abuse or neglect of children and ensure the safety of those who need protection. Submitted by Family and Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds, and Grenville

SMITHS FALLS KIA
Presence of West Nile virus found locally in mosquitoes The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit has been actively monitoring mosquitoes for West Nile virus this season. Recent sampling has identified positive mosquitoes that carry the West Nile virus. Earlier this season, neighbouring health units including Ottawa, eastern Ontario (Cornwall) and KFLA (Kingston) Public Health have identified positive mosquitoes. This virus is spread to humans by the bite of an infected mosquito. For most people, the risk of illness from West Nile virus is low. However, it can cause serious illness in others. With the recent warm temperatures mosquitoes have remained active late in the season. The Health Unit recommends that you take the necessary precautions to protect yourself and your family from mosquito bites. The following measures can help reduce the risk of West Nile virus: Apply insect repellents sparingly to exposed skin. Effective repellents contain Deet or Icaridin. Be sure to follow directions and use age appropriate concentrations. DO NOT USE
RECYCLE!
personal insect repellents on children under two years of age. Wear light-coloured clothing, long pants and long sleeves, as well as shoes and socks during peak mosquito times to prevent mosquito bites. Avoid being outside at dusk and dawn, as mosquitoes are most active at that time. Use netting when sleeping outdoors or in an unscreened structure and to protect small babies from insect bites. Repair or replace old and torn screens in doors, windows, and vents that no longer prevent mosquitoes from entering your home. Consult your health care provider if you suspect that you have an insect transmittable disease such as West Nile virus. More information regarding this disease and its symptoms can be found on our website http:// www.healthunit.org/westnile/. You can also call 1-800-660-5853 or connect with LGLHealthunit on Facebook and Twitter. Source: Leeds, Grenville Lanark District Health Unit

Lanark County Interval House (LCIH) executive director Erin Lee may be discouraged, but she’s not about to give up fighting for women and children in abusive situations. Lee spoke during the organization’s annual Take Back the Night vigil and march in Carleton Place’s Town Hall Square Sept. 21. The event, a fixture in the town for 10 years, drew a large crowd who gathered to reflect on lives lost due to violence and protest harassment, sexual abuse and assault. “Tonight, I reflect on what has happened since the 2015 Wilno murders, the murder suicides, the missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls and the most recent Ashley Kulp/Metroland attempt murder in Almonte on Sept. 20, 2017,” Lee said. Lanark County Interval House (LCIH) executive direcAshley Kulp/Metroland “What can I tell you?

People are beginning to bring the topics of rape culture, protest unity, truth and reconciliation into the light by talking about them. “But more importantly, we’re taking action,” she said. LCIH has taken action through partnerships to create mixed housing options in Lanark County for safe and affordable housing for women and children, as well as an upcoming video project with Algonquin College. Another successful initiative is the See it, Name it, Change it campaign launched by the organization and agency partners this past May. It was unveiled May 10 at the Lanark County community services committee meeting in Perth and the message

Breast cancer causes and risk factors
Research into breast cancer has shown that its origins include a variety of potential causes and risk factors. Although many of them are biological and non-preventable, some others can be eliminated, prevented or controlled by changing certain lifestyle habits.
You can reduce the risk of developing breast cancer by changing some of your lifestyle habits.
Non-preventable causes The physical causes of breast cancer that have been identified are as follows: • Age (increased risk after the age of 50) • High breast density • A personal or family history of breast or ovarian cancer • Genetic mutations associated with the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes • Taking the postmenopausal hormones es trogen and progesterone • A history of benign breast disease (cysts, hyperplasia) • The early onset of menstruation or late onset of menopause
Preventable factors
On the other hand, some causes of breast cancer are closely related to personal lifestyle choices.
Here is a partial list: • Alcohol consumption • The use of oral contraceptives for several years • Physical inactivity (a sedentary lifestyle) • Excess weight and obesity in adulthood • Smoking and prolonged exposure to second hand smoke • Late pregnancy (after the age of 30) Please note that these risk factors are not all equally weighted. Get all the information you need about your particular circumstances before changing your lifestyle. It’s always a good idea to consult a health professional as well.

is simple – when you see an act of violence, speak out. Lee noted the idea came about as a result of lives lost across three different counties in rural eastern Ontario. “…We teach our kids about fire and we tell them they’ve got to ‘stop, drop and roll,’ and it seemed to have worked in a lot of cases,” she elaborated on the reason behind the campaign’s name. “We need something to feed our kids. We need something to feed our aging communities and our elders. We need something to feed people to talk about at the dining room table, in our faith groups, on our streets…” Only by naming an act or comment, can change be made. “I know you see it. When you see it, I challenge you to name it and it’s hard. I had a conversation with one of our local politicians before the vigil started and it’s hard to know what to do, but we need to err on the side of safety. We need to err on the side of preservation of life. We need to take those chances and we need to take a stand.” Since the launch, billboards have
$625
been erected in Lanark County, Lennox and Addington and Leeds-Grenville, a Facebook page has been created, along with radio ad spots and bumper stickers. With all the positives, Lee said more needs to be done and “we must re-establish ourselves as a movement” and go forward with a unified voice. “We need to forge ahead consistently and decide to navigate as ‘we,’ not ‘me’ and to invest in ‘us,’ not ‘you.’ We need to be an unstoppable movement with an insatiable appetite to challenge, to change and to conquer,” she commented. “When we listen, we can also be heard. When we speak united, our voice echoes further…and when our force becomes an army of courage, only then can meaningful permanent change happen.” Attending the Take Back the Night march is one way to fight for women’s equality rights, but Lee said that alone isn’t enough. People must challenge themselves and ask what they desire their legacy to be. “I speak to you tonight as a bi-racial woman who is a mother, a partner, a daughter, an auntie, a leader and an advocate,” she stated. “…Together, we must speak for those women currently
living in abusive situations, respect their fear and for crying out loud, can we just embrace it like it’s our own? We need to recognize as friends and family and community members that when we know better, we do better.” How can change happen? Lee said by challenging the systems and working alongside government leaders progress can be made. And LCIH will be there every step of the way. “We must be shaken, we must be outraged and we must unite and work together if we’re going to make anything different,” she stressed. “I promise you that Lanark County Interval House, as long as I’m the ED, will remain vigilant in the fight to end all forms of violence against women and their children. We may encounter many defeats, but we must not be defeated. Alone, we are strong, but together we are unstoppable and united and I believe that we will never be defeated.” In addition to a march down Bridge Street, the evening paid tribute to area women who lost their lives due to violence with a vigil that involved local residents and politicians placing flowers of remembrance in the Mississippi River.

COMMENTARY
When winning is losing
A
recent report from provincial police in Quinte West serves as a reminder to use caution when someone visits your home and is unknown. We'd like to think that the vast majority of visitors/strangers do not have criminal motives, but it pays to be prepared for the exceptions. An elderly homeowner reported to police that she had received a call from an unknown female who claimed the homeowner had won a $500 gift card, and that a representative would deliver the card. An unknown male showed up later that day and presented a gift card, which police determined later was counterfeit and had no value. The homeowner reportedly overheard the male talking on his phone and saying that the residence has a lock box containing a key. The male then left the home. The OPP release includes a description of the male and the vehicle he was
driving. Anyone in this newspaper’s coverage area who receives a similar call might want to keep this story in mind and to resist any urge to welcome a stranger bearing gifts that are false. Call provincial or municipal police in your community and share your experience to reduce the risk that others could become victims. Even if you are not asked to pay in order to claim a prize (which is a red flag), allowing a stranger to visit your home to deliver something of which you had no prior knowledge might be an attempt by a criminal to "case the joint" and come back when you're not there to steal anything of value that is noticed during that initial visit. There is something to the saying about some things being too good to be true. As much as we like to win, there are some alleged prizes that just aren't worth it and that could end up costing a considerable amount in the long run.

other said I was old enough. There were many little chores I was already doing, like keeping the wood box full, and making sure the pan under the icebox didn’t overflow. And now Mother said I was old enough to make butter! I was both delighted and annoyed. Delighted because this was a very important job, and annoyed because we always churned on Saturday morning, and this new chore was certainly going to cut into my playtime. My sister Audrey, who up to then, was in charge of the churning, was more than happy to give it up. I certainly didn’t have to be taught how to do it. Goodness knows I watched

Audrey every Saturday, and to me, all I had to do was sit on a chair, with the churn between my knees, and plop the plunger up and down in the cream until I made butter. It was an early Fall day when Mother announced that was the Saturday when I would take on this new chore. The churn had been rolled into the kitchen, very carefully, because it was half full of cream, and a chair put in front of it. I was ready to begin. But Mother said I would have to put on a big pinny, and it didn’t take me long to find out why. I had watched Audrey often enough to know that you simply grabbed the plunger with both hands and pumped until you could feel butter forming
and since I was so much shorter than Audrey, much of it hit me square in the eyes, and the front of the pinny was soon covered too. Audrey said going faster did nothing to hasten the butter. She was right... in the bottom of the churn. So I pulled up a chair, wrapped my bony knees around the churn, and began. Plop, plop, plop. I speeded up the pace, figuring the faster I went, the sooner I would be finished. The lid on the churn had a hole in the center big enough to give the plunger lots of room. It didn’t take me long to find out why I had to don the big flour-bag pinny. The cream splashed up through the hole,

Fall boating takes a bit more care out on the water

going to keel over in a heap on the kitchen floor. And then it happened. The plunger was no longer splashing cream out the opening in the lid. It got heavier and heavier to pound, even Mother and Audrey who were doing other things in the kitchen, knew that the moment had come. They could tell by the sound! My arms felt like lead. Mother came over and lifted the lid, peered inside, and said, “Well, good for you, Mary. You have made your first batch of butter.” The rest of the job would be up to my sister and Mother. With a big flat wood scoop, the butter was moved to the largest bowl we owned, and without measuring, Mother tossed in some salt. The butter was mixed and mixed until it was to Mother’s liking, and then pressed into the butter mold. Packed down until it was a solid mass, the butter was then released from the mold onto waxed paper. Audrey said it was exactly a pound when it came out. It would be wrapped and put in the ice box, some of it peddled door to door in Renfrew, and the rest of it used on our own table. I had never been so tired in my life. I went over to the creton couch by the stove, and stretched out, aching from top to bottom. I figured it was too soon to try to barter with my sister to change back to her making the butter, and me doing something that didn’t wear me down to a dishrag. Mother could see the state I was in, but instead of giving me sympathy she said, “each Saturday it will get easier. You’ll see.” I didn’t believe her for a minute. And I wondered how long it would take for that feeling of accomplishment for a job well done that Mother always talked about, would hit me. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Boating in the fall offers colourful vistas, quiet anchorages and excellent fishing but it is not without its challenges that necessitate self-sufficiency and taking some additional precautions to keep from running into trouble. Before heading out, be sure to check the weather forecast. The mixing of warm and cold air can quickly spawn high winds and waves making it treacherous for small boats. Fog, too, is an issue at this time of year making visibility difficult. Should boaters find themselves in a fog bank, they should proceed slowly and sound their horn at regular intervals to alert other boaters of their presence.
Well into October, daytime temperatures can occasionally be balmy but dressing for the water temperature will help slow the onset of hypothermia should the unexpected happen and the boater find himself in the water. Accidental cold water immersion can be shocking, but they shouldn’t panic. It may take a minute or so to get their breathing under control after the initial shock but they will have at least 10-15 minutes, even in very cold water, to affect self-rescue before they start to lose muscle control in their arms and legs. This is where an approved lifejacket, either inflatable or inherently buoyant, is an essential part of a
boater’s wardrobe to keep them afloat after they can no longer swim. In the fall, there are fewer boats on the water to offer assistance, if needed. Boaters should be sure to leave a float plan with a responsible person on shore who will know what to do if they’re overdue. A marine radio or cell phone will allow them to call for assistance should the need arise. Having a few tools and spare parts aboard will also allow them to fix minor problems that might otherwise cause them to be stranded out on the water. It’s important that boaters ensure that their boat and engine are in good shape and mechani-
cally sound. Ethanol-based fuel can allow water contamination in the tank. The use of a fuel additive prevents water in the fuel line from freezing which could cause the engine to chug to a halt. Fuel sold at marinas is ethanol free. If the boat has portable fuel tanks, it’s a good idea to have a spare on board as a reserve. “Spectacular colours, peaceful solitude and the crispness of the air make boating in the fall a wondrous experience,” says John Gullick, chair of the Canadian Safe Boating Council.

campaign that has taken off from there. (See on YouTube: “Lyle Dillabough-Proud Canadians-studio version 2000”). While doing an interview recently on a valley radio station the idea came to me to ask folks from all across the country to send in copies of their favourite photos, certificates, ticket stubs, documents, memorabilia, letters, stories and basically anything that can be copied, so we could compile it all into a book entitled, Proud Canadians – A People’s Perspective of Canada 150, or something to that effect. This would be a real reflection of Canadians, authored by Canadians, for Canadians. What do you think? We are also presently contacting local museums and historical societies across the nation seeking their assistance as well. And the response so far has been very good. Perhaps we could make this project a partial fundraiser for a national or several local, charity/charities? Before I became ill, my travels throughout the country revealed that, in spite of all the advances in technology, many feel more isolated and powerless then ever before in their lives. They feel they no longer matter and everyone and everything is talking down to them. A undertaking such as this (though small as it might be) serves to remind us all that it is the “every day people” who do the work, pay the taxes, fight the wars, care for one another and basically, “make it all happen.” So please do send in your contributions.

Many homes do not have space for guest rooms, kids’ play areas and home theater lounges that are possible in homes with substantial square footage. But they may not be missing out at all. While large homes remain popular, many people are embracing the benefits of smaller residences. Small homes help homeowners save money, require less maintenance, have smaller environmental impact, and reduce the temptation to accumulate “stuff.” Owners of small homes or apartments can still enjoy the benefits of larger desk will blend in with the decor and can hide paperwork and electronics behind doors.

Re-introducing velvet!
Noble and sophisticated by nature, velvet has always been considered a stately fabric. This autumn, it’s making its way back into our homes to create an atmosphere best described as cozy chic. Whether used sparingly or abundantly, velvet always makes a statement. For a beautiful interior that’s in with the times, opt for darker colours like purple, forest green, burgundy or indigo. Remember, the richer the better. Between couches, armchairs, benches, carpets, curtains and headboards, there are so many ways to add a little (or a lot of ) velvety softness to your home this fall!

Fall Edition 2017 One · Colour Scheme Are you looking for something light or dark? Understated or with bold character? Choose the colour that best matches your decor from a wide variety of colours available in each species. For uniform hue and a clean look, opt for either “Select & Better” or “Premium” grades. If you enjoy more pronounced colour variation and wood with more character, you may prefer “Antique” or “Classic” grades.
Two · Species No other flooring option delivers the splendour, warmth and value of natural wood. Today there are countless colours available to choose from as well as different species, each with their unique characteristics. No matter the decor style of your home -- modern, contemporary, zen, rustic or urban -- today’s hardwood flooring manufacturers have something for every style and taste. Here are four key steps to consider, to create a unique centrepiece hardwood floor that’s custom tailored for any interior space from country home to urban loft.
Sustainable flooring options abound Flooring manufacturers and designers are embracing the green design and remodeling movement. Today there are many beautiful and sustainable eco-flooring options. Here are some of the more popular materials. Bamboo Contrary to popular belief, bamboo is not a wood, but a grass. It is a fast-growing grass, and that makes it a smart choice in many design applications. Also, unlike wood, which will absorb moisture and can warp, bamboo repels water and can be used for flooring in areas where one wouldn’t think to put wood, such as in bathrooms, entryways or mudrooms. Bamboo is naturally very light in color, but can be stained in many different hues to give homeowners more options. Cork Growing in popularity, cork is a material harvested from the bark of cork trees found in the forests of the Mediterranean. The bark grows back every three years, so it is a handy renewable resource. Cork boasts fire-retardant properties and may naturally repel insects. It can usually be stained to suit various color schemes. Other options for green flooring include Rubber, Reclaimed Wood, and Green Carpeting. Eco-friendly flooring materials continue to evolve and can be smart choices in today’s homes.
From Red Oak, Hard Maple, Yellow Birch, White Ash, White Oak or Brazilian Cherry, each wood species has its own personality and distinct look (grades and width) that comes across in its maturity, hardness, and durability.
Three · Gloss Depending on the species, you can choose between a matte, semi-gloss and satin finish. A matte, semi-gloss finish tends to project a more formal atmosphere; whereas the natural look of a satin finish will feel more casual and better disguise wear and tear.
Four · Widths and Textures Wider planks, which are becoming increasingly popular, tend to create a more casual rustic appearance, while narrow planks are more formal. Manufacturers, are now offering 6-1/2” and even 7-1/4” boards in certain species. This is part of the emerging trend of the last few years where consumers are seeking more rustic looks for their hardwood flooring choices. Along with wider boards, another way this is achieved is with the latest use of different textures to give wood either a distressed look of barn wood, prominent knots or the natural lines of boards planed the old fashioned way.

Hunting trophies What would an authentic cottage home be without game trophies on display? Decorate your walls with faux animal mounts (deer, moose, bear, bison, etc.) made out of wood, cardboard, metal or plaster for a perfectly rustic look and feel.
Macramé design:
With the arrival of fall and its chillier days, the desire to remain bundled up at home often starts to take over. Do you wish to transform your interior into a comfortable and cozy space? Get inspired by cottage-style homes to infuse a touch of rustic appeal and warmth into your décor!
the 70s décor trend is back!
Varied textures To create a cozy nest, opt for throw pillows made of felt, faux fur or wool. Natural fabrics like linen and cotton are equally suitable. Furthermore, choose hardwood furniture and accessories to create a look that’s 100 per cent authentic. When it comes to your walls and floors, don’t hesitate to mix concrete, wood and stone. Finally, pattern-wise, plaid and jacquard are perfect for achieving that cozy cottage feel.
In vogue since the 1970s, macramé is making a remarkable comeback in the interior design world. Today, this traditional practice of braiding and hand-knotting rope to create accessories for the home is being revisited to create trendy bohemian- and vintage-inspired designs. Whether you make them yourself or scout for them in local artisanal shops, macramé designs are all unique in their own right. Eager to add a touch of macramé to your interior? Consider these potential creations for inspiration: • Lampshades • Potholders • Table runners • Pillows • Wall decorations ° Tapestries ° Dream Catchers • Headboards • Hanging baskets • Hanging mirrors
Soft lighting Warm colours For a soft, soothing atmosphere that will make your home more inviting, opt for neutral shades inspired by nature. Prioritize muted tones like white, beige, light grey, pewter or even black for your walls, accessories and furniture. Additionally, consider including hints of forest green, burnt orange or dark red to add depth to your décor.
Indirect lighting — fixtures that direct light upward to bounce off the walls and ceiling (e.g. sconces) — is the key to achieving a cozy ambiance reminiscent of faraway ski chalets. Make sure you install dimmers to be able to adjust the brightness of the room to your liking. You can also add multiple candles — opt for fragrant varieties that smell like pine, cranberry or pumpkin, for example — and scatter strings of lights around your fireplace or windows to bring a festive touch to your interior.

How to use chalkboard paint around the home
unfinished walls
However, an unfinished wall doesn’t necessarily equal a neglected décor! On the contrary, the rough aspect of the wall’s surface serves as the perfect backdrop for a space worthy of trendy loft apartments or prestigious ancestral homes.
Adding a coat of chalkboard paint is an easy way to refresh a space and give it personality without breaking the bank. Here are three rooms in the home where you can let your creativity run free!
THE KITCHEN
Apply chalkboard paint to the walls, the refrigerator or the pantry. Feel free to write out the week’s dinner menu, your grocery list, a delicious recipe or an inspiring quote!
THE OFFICE
Are you self-employed or in school? Chalkboard paint can help you keep your workspace organized. How? Create a giant calendar, record your appointments or make a list of daily tasks, for example.
THE PLAYROOM
Chalkboard paint is ideal if you wish to decorate your children’s playroom in a fun and original way. Paint an entire wall or trace big shapes and let your toddlers colour to their heart’s content!

Whether you’d like to create a functional and elegant kitchen from the ground up or renovate your existing one so that it better meets your current needs, enlist the help of a kitchen designer. This renovation expert has more than one trick up his or her sleeve! Kitchen designers are creative and detail oriented professionals with extensive knowledge of various industries and trades, including architecture, woodworking, plumbing, carpentry, electricity, masonry and, of course, interior design. Thanks to the expertise of these talented individuals, you’re guaranteed a beautiful and functional kitchen tailored to your specific needs and style preferences. Why not take advantage?
a kitchen staple
With their sleek, satiny finish, black stainless steel appliances harmonize well with numerous materials and add a contemporary touch to virtually any style of décor. They’re especially perfect for adding character to modern, industrial and contemporary kitchen designs. What’s more, many black stainless steel appliances are stain-resistant and therefore camouflage the appearance of unsightly fingerprints. They’re also very easy to clean: a quick wipe with a dry or damp cloth is enough to restore the surface’s shine!
A butcher’s block is a thick slab of solid wood that’s usually installed on a kitchen counter or island. Elegant, robust and durable, this versatile work surface can serve as both a cutting board and a serving platter. Contrary to what its name may suggest, a butcher’s block isn’t just for preparing cuts of meat! A layer of finishing oil with antibacterial and stain-proofing properties is the key to maintaining a lustrous wooden butcher’s block. Carefully wash this handy piece of kitchen equipment after each use, and regularly apply a protective cream or oil according to the manufacturer’s recommended frequency. A quality butcher’s block is a valuable tool to have in any home kitchen. Visit a local business that either sells kitchenware or manufactures wooden furniture to find the perfect butcher’s block!

Make a splash with
bold paint colours
Painting is one of the easiest and least expensive ways to transform the look of a space. Paint colours can dramatically change the mood and the design of a home. And depending on a homeowner’s goals, paint can make a statement or blend into the background. Many people are now looking to bold colours to make spaces stand out. But choosing a paint colour can be challenging. Homeowners looking to update walls and complement decor may want to look at some of the more impactful colours that Pantone indicates will be popular for the 2017 season. Primrose Yellow, Lapis Blue, Flame, Pink Yarrow, and Greenery are some of the more eye-catching selections. Once colours are selected, consider these guidelines for using bolder colours in room designs.
Decide how big an impact you want to make
Stick to boldness on interchangeable items
Are you looking for colour overload or just a small focal point of vivid colour? Remember, using bold colour doesn’t mean every wall must be lathered in that hue. Instead, select one wall to serve as an accent point and use that spot as your bold colour display. Otherwise, rely on bold colours to dress up otherwise mundane areas, such as the back wall of a cupboard or mouldings and trim.
Those who like to experiment with colour may find that they like to switch out the colours now and again. Instead of having to repaint every few months, use decorative items in bright shades to make swapping out colour that much easier. For example, replace area rugs, throw pillows and draperies. Paint over terra cotta flower pots when the mood strikes.
Try bold in a small space Many people are surprised at how well bold colours work in small spaces. Powder rooms can be an ideal spot to experiment with paint colours. Try deep colours that can make the area seem intimate and even exotic. Dark, bold hues can be toned down by different accents, such as neutral coloured fixtures and towels.
Establish balance Rely on neutral furniture, rugs, mouldings and baseboards if you decide to take bold colours up a notch. This will help create a sense of balance in the room.
Go bold in the kitchen Incorporate a splash of colour in the kitchen without going overboard. Try an appliance or design fixture in a bright shade. Or paint the inside of the cabinets in your favourite colour and install glass inserts in the cabinet doors so that everyone gets a peek of the colour beyond. A neutral kitchen also can be brightened up with the use of silverware, dishes, pots and pans, and other kitchen items featured in bold hues.

The fun part… Center template onto plaque. Keep paper taut and start hammering nails into alternating points of the starburst. Continue adding nails approximately half an inch apart all around the outer edges of the starburst and letter. Use household tweezers to help remove paper template from plaque. The tweezers will help with any tiny paper scraps that are caught in between nails. Applying the string (heavy thread). To start, tie string in a double knot to the point of one nail. Trim excess string from the end. Keep string taut and start wrapping around nails, making sure to not cross over any negative space within the monogram. Once you feel that you have covered the surface of your art with enough string so the letter is nicely defined, you’re ready to finish. To do that, pick an end point, preferably one on the outside of the project, then tie a tight knot around the nail. TIP: Make sure it’s tied nice and tight so your project doesn’t come unraveled.

DIVE INTO THE
eccentric WITH
MEMPHIS DESIGN Is your home décor in need of a drastic change? If you’re a fan of the extravagant 80s, then Memphis design may be just the cure for your drab interior. Read on to discover the secrets of this eccentric décor trend that’s making a big comeback.
What is Memphis style?
Introduced in 1981 by the renowned designer Ettore Sottsass and his Memphis Group — an Italian design and architecture collective that brought together the decade’s most prominent visionaries — this style is anything but bland. Characterized by bold, colourful furniture and accessories, Memphis-style interiors push the boundaries of eclectic design to create a truly unique aesthetic. Here are some tips to help you transform your home into a playful space where Memphis design is in the spotlight: • Choose bright colours that will give your home personality. Opt for canary yellow, electric blue, cotton candy pink, scarlet red and lime green when it comes to your cushions, tables, carpets, lamps and accessories, for example. • Prioritize stripes, polka dots, abstract designs and zigzags. Choose accessories, furniture and wallpaper with bold patterns and designs. • Incorporate a variety of geometric shapes: squares, rectangles, circles, polygons, triangles, etc. These details are key elements of the Memphis trend, and they also confer structure and rhythm to your interior. • Vary textures and materials to highlight the whimsical quality of Memphis design. Include plastic, wood, marble or metal to add depth to your décor.

Four things to consider when It’s all about the copper! shopping for bar stools In the market for bar-style seating for your kitchen’s island or peninsula? With so many different models available on the market, making the right choice can prove quite difficult. To find the perfect stools for your specific needs, consider the following criteria.
One · The height
Four · The style
To avoid having to lug your bar stools back to the store because they’re either too high or too low, make sure to have the exact measurements (height, width and depth) of your counter or table on hand. Knowing the size and configuration of your space will make choosing the right height a lot easier. Don’t forget to leave some wiggle room — approximately 25 centimetres — between the counter and the stool.
Opt for bar stools that complement your existing décor. If your interior is cozy and rustic, choose stools made of wood or other organic materials. On the other hand, if your home’s design is modern and minimalist, opt for bold, colourful plastic seats. Finally, prioritize brushed steel and synthetic fibres for a more industrial look, and artificial leather or quilted fabric for a more sophisticated appeal.
Two · The seat Do you prefer bar stools with or without a backrest? As you consider your options, keep in mind their intended use. If you have children and anticipate using your bar stools on a daily basis, seats with a backrest are undeniably more comfortable. On the other hand, seats without a backrest can easily slide under the counter or table and are thus less cumbersome — a positive feature if you have limited space.
A versatile metal, copper is widely used in numerous industries (agriculture, transportation, telecommunications, healthcare, architecture, art, design, etc.). Equally popular in interior design, copper is favoured for its authentic character that can be either minimalist or glamorous in style. Read on to find out how to bring this sophisticated metal into your home!
Furniture and accessories Copper (or copper alloy) is used in the manufacturing of countless décor items and practical household objects. By visiting speciality retailers in your region, you can find light fixtures, mirrors, clocks, potholders, kitchen utensils and office equipment, among a myriad of other items, that feature the metal with varying prominence. In terms of furniture, your options are just as varied. Copper-accented Since copper has a tendency to tarnish end tables, chairs, shelves and with time, your favourite décor items may stools, for example, add warmth become discoloured as the years go by. to any interior.

However, if you’d cabinets, and install a faucet prefer to restore your copper accessories’ with a matching finish. original lustre, simply sprinkle a lemon wedge with salt and gently rub it against your tarnished items. Rinse well with lukewarm water, and you’re done!

Cabin temperatures can affect electric vehicles' driving range “Hi Brian, I'm by no means a car girl, but I do enjoy your column. In all the discussion about electric vehicles, one subject I've never seen/ heard mentioned is how much cabin heating or AC affects mileage. Perhaps your resources can fill us in.” Cheers, Ruth Thanks for the kind words and readership. Yes, electric vehicles’ (EV) HVAC systems can reduce driving range. It’s hard to put an accurate figure on it, because it depends on the driver’s preferences for cabin temperatures and fan speeds. As their heat sources don’t use engine coolant (as traditional vehicles do), they supply much drier air, reducing the amount of condensation on the interior of the windshield, rear and door glasses. EV heaters are also very efficient and provide almost instant warmth when they’re switched on. Their AC systems, however, are much like gasolinepowered vehicles. From EV drivers I’ve met and spoken with at various EV shows, you can expect to lose about 15 to 20 per cent
Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER
driving range in winter — partially because of heater use and mainly because of the operating temperatures of the drive batteries. If you want maximum winter range with an EV, then dress for the occasion (warmly), so you can keep the heater use at a minimum. The same applies in summer for AC use. A customer concern came across my desk recently that highlights some of the misconceptions and risks involved in certain vehicle modifications. Apparently an off-roader recently purchased a new SUV from an authorized dealership and arranged to have a vehicle lift kit installed (at that same retailer) to improve ground clearance and allow for larger-than-
original-equipment tires. This is a common modification that a lot of truck and SUV owners have performed on their rides to convert them from ‘soft-road’ to true ‘offroad’ utility vehicles. The problem with this particular case was that the kit was incorrectly installed, leading to brake line and exhaust pipe damage. As well, the installation kit made no allowance for the change in angles of the driveshafts connected to the SUV’s transfer case. And the steering geometry and settings were far from perfect. According to this consumer, the dealership refused to complete the needed repairs, leading to them looking to the appropriate Ontario industry council (Ontario Motor Vehicle Industry Council) for redress. Vehicle lift kits come in a wide variety of configurations, with the most popular falling in the two-inch to fiveinch range. On most SUVs, if a kit with any more than three inches to 3.5 inches is installed without making allowances for driveshaft angle changes, the amount of stress placed on the transfer case may quickly reduce it to scrap due to bearing failures. A good
quality kit from a credible manufacturer will include components to accommodate these angles to ensure long life and reliability (when properly installed). The most common misconception that consumers have in cases like these is that if it’s supplied and installed by an automaker’s authorized dealership, it won’t have any effect on the vehicle’s warranty. Nothing could be further from the truth. All carmakers include clauses in their warranty documents to consumers that deny coverage on any component or system when the failure can be directly attributed to the installation of a nonapproved part, regardless of who supplied and/ or installed it. This leaves the customer to deal directly with the auto retailer or the kit supplier and seldom is this an easy or satisfying experience. Even if either of these two parties supplies their own written guarantee, if it’s not properly backed in financial terms and/or comes with an arbitration mechanism when things go wrong, it’s not worth the paper it’s written on.

Ireland’s Newgrange ancient is an engineering marvel My son Craig and I are just home after spending nearly two weeks in Ireland (south and north) and England. This was our second father-son overseas getaway in as many years although this excursion was far busier than our 2016 junket to England. The morning after our arrival home I was in the kitchen brewing tea. I could hear Kathleen asking her son about his experiences overseas. “If you were going to choose the best thing you did during the trip what would it be,” she inquired. Craig didn’t have to think about it. “The visit to Newgrange. That was my favourite,” he quickly replied. Unless you are into Neolithic history it is unlikely you have ever heard of Newgrange. It is a so-called “passage tomb” that was constructed in what is now County Meath in the Republic of Ireland. The prehistoric monument stands high above the River Boyne some five miles (eight kilometres) west of the City of Drogheda. By road it is an hour north of the Irish capital Dublin, where we were staying. Newgrange is the best known among the numerous passage tombs in Ireland which also include nearby monuments called Knowth and Dowth. Other sites located in the Boyne Valley are Fourknocks, Loughcrew and Tara. The latter, located high atop the Hill of Tara near the Town of Navan, was also a stop on our tour the
Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE
day we visited Newgrange. It’s a much smaller tomb but the impressive views from the Hill of Tara, which according to tradition was the seat of the High King of Ireland, were spectacular on a clear late afternoon. Newgrange, along with Knowth and Dowth, are UNESCO World Heritage sites. Newgrange stands out because of its age. The structure dates from 3200 BC meaning it predates both Stonehenge in England (which Craig and I visited last year) and the Egyptian pyramids. Knowth and Dowth, although impressive examples of this type of construction, date from between 2500 and 2000 BC. Ireland has more than a thousand Megalithic tombs which fall into four different categories. It is really quite remarkable and attests to just how long people have inhabited the island. Most incredible of all is the construction capabilities and engineering skills of those ancient people. Using what we today would consider rudimentary tools, combined with brute
strength and endurance, they have built monuments which are impressive by any standard. The scale of Newgrange, which over the course of many centuries became buried in the Irish countryside, is awe inspiring. It was rediscovered in 1699 by a land owner who had ordered his farm labourers to excavate what, at the time, appeared to be a large mound on the hillside. Site restored Over the course of more than 200 years and culminating with major excavations led by Irish archeologist and professor Michael J. O’Kelly in the 1960s and early 1970s the entire structure was revealed and the front restored. The large mound is approximately 80 metres (262 feet) in diameter. It’s believed the original mound stood 11-13 metres high. The base is surrounded by 97 large “kerb” stones. The most impressive of these is the highly decorated entrance stone. The site is also ringed by a wider stone circle. In total the mound contains an incredible 200,000 pounds of material. The only open sections are the entrance passage and the inner burial chamber. Because we took an organized tour from Dublin, Craig and I and our fellow passengers were actually able to enter the massive structure. Just 24 people at a time are permitted inside
due to the close confines. We entered in single file amid cries of “mind your head” from our tour guide. If you’re claustrophobic Newgrange isn’t for you. The long passage isn’t only low, it is also very narrow. One place is so tight that you have to turn sideways to get through. People of ample dimensions are advised to remain outside. Electric lights were added in the 1950s to allow visitors to find their way along the passageway. Excavations have proven Newgrange was a burial place. But sadly because it was wide open for so many years (the site wasn’t formally protected by the government until 1882) much of what was originally inside the chamber was carried away by souvenir hunters. There were 43 people on our tour and we were in the second group to enter the more than 5,000 year old structure. In typical Irish fashion, what had been a sunny day suddenly turned nasty. The wind carried a sharp shower across the green, rolling, rural landscape. Our rainwear and umbrellas were put to good use. We were glad to be summoned inside. Once we navigated the passageway and stood in the chamber our guide, with the very Irish name Mary Ryan, demonstrated what archeologist O’Kelly discovered in 1967. He uncovered the so-called “roof box” which is perfectly aligned so that at the time of
the Winter Solstice in December the light of the rising sun enters the roof box and penetrates the passageway, shining onto the floor of the inner chamber. The sunlight illuminates the chamber for just 17 minutes. Our demonstration was done using electric light but it was intriguing none the less. Studies completed in 1972 revealed that the Winter Solstice orientation of the site was so sophisticated that Newgrange could be used to determine the exact day of solstice. The roof box is built in such a way that it maximizes the accuracy and length of the light beam entering the chamber. Similar to Stonehenge in England the large stones used to complete Newgrange came from many miles away. It’s believed they were floated on rafts using the country’s river system and then hauled bodily to the site. It has also been determined construction of the mound would have taken a workforce of 300 people up to 30 years to complete. Little wonder my son was impressed! Newgrange and many other burial mounds in Ireland are truly remarkable examples of ancient engineering skill and construction methods. They are well worth a visit.

Catholic School Board trustees hear of Summer Learning Program For the past eight summers, the CDSBEO has had the opportunity to offer a Summer Learning Program for primary students in a number of our schools. The program focuses on building literacy and numeracy skills, while integrating physical activity, the arts and recreation, as well as coding and robotics instruction, which was added this year. The Council of Ontario Directors of Education (CODE) continues to co-ordinate and provide funding and leadership for these summer programs. Principal of Curriculum, Brent Bovaird, along with teacher Paula Hart, presented an overview of the benefits of the Summer Learning Program to the Board of Trustees. The program is intended to support students in the primary grades who would benefit from engaging and interactive literacy and numeracy instruction during the summer months. In conjunction with the summer learning program, a significant research study is in place to examine the factors that minimize summer learning loss, and close the achievement gap. Key components of the program included opportunities for students to: increase their literacy and numeracy skills, develop social skills through small peer group interaction, and enhance leadership and mentorship skills. “The programs provide continuity and supported literacy, numeracy and school readiness,” explained Mr. Bovaird. “The learning environment is fun and positive, with low teacherpupil ratios and engaging materials such as field trips and experiential opportunities, classroom guests, computer technology, manipulatives, and
varied text forms.” Each year, students in the Summer Learning Program complete STAR testing, which measures their reading and numeracy level upon entering the program. Students are then revisited by board staff in September to complete the testing again which allows for an analysis of how well the program helped students to retain academic skills over the summer months. The program was held at five CDSBEO school locations, with 173 students from grades 1, 2, and 3 participating for four weeks during the month of July. “Students had the opportunity to learn about self-regulation, breathing techniques to help manage emotions, and elements of spiritual meditation through weekly yoga classes,” noted teacher Paula Hart. “The experiences offered through the program also helped to engage learners with community experiences, Indigenous teachings, and history through handson opportunities.” Information and Communication Technology Update The CDSBEO has invested heavily in capacity, reliability and equipment relating to Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Through a strong partnership with Microsoft, ICT has established a solid infrastructure where students and teachers seamlessly integrate cloud tools in the classroom to help meet curriculum expectations. This infrastructure has allowed the Board to leverage cloud technologies, such as Microsoft Office 365. James Proulx, manager of ICT, presented an update to the Board on all of the recent progressive and innovative changes taking place with
regard to Board technology, partnerships and recent upgrades. One of the Board’s largest partnerships is with Microsoft, whose software helps to manage more than 7,000 devices, 150 servers, and 100 software titles for nearly 15,000 users in schools and administrative offices. “Microsoft has a complete ecosystem from the back end all the way to the desktop,” explained Mr. Proulx. “These tools help to control our infrastructure, such as malware tools, business systems, video conference, and desktop software including office 2013 and 2016.” “Our partnership with Microsoft has also streamlined the migration to Microsoft cloud based storage, software services, and infrastructure services.” In addition, CDSBEO provides office products including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote to students and teachers in the cloud via Office 365. Students and teachers have access to five free downloads of Office 2016. In 2013, the CDSBEO and the KPRDSB (Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board) submitted a proposal to the Ministry of Education and COSBO (Council of Senior Business Officials) for a provincial cloud based software delivery solution for schools. The proposal led to a pilot of eight school boards that participated in a three-year pilot program which received $700,000 provided by the ministry and COSBO. The pilot has now expanded to 30 participant boards and over 400 software titles. The solution, which is now self-sustaining, is currently overseen by the shared technology services
advisory committee, which has been chaired by James Proulx since July 2016. “We have internal partnerships with our departments, and these partnerships allow for the technology to be successful in our schools,” noted Mr. Proulx. “We have also worked diligently to ensure adequate internet access at all sites, and we are about to deploy new firewall to make this service even better.” The CDSBEO is currently piloting Windows 10 at three school sites. The implementation of the newer operating system will allow schools to offer students seamless Office 365 integration. CDSBEO Appoints Director of Education The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario is pleased to announce the appointment of John Cameron, as its new Director of Education for the Board, effective Jan. 1, 2018. Mr. Cameron, who was appointed to the position on Sept. 19 by the Board of Trustees, is currently the Associate Director of Education, with responsibilities that include supervision of Catholic schools in the Cornwall area. Board chair, Todd Lalonde says that Mr. Cameron has a long-standing career in Catholic education. “Mr. Cameron’s dedication to Catholic education cannot be questioned. He has demonstrated for many years, his dedication to ensuring that students have the opportunity to flourish in a faith-filled learning environment. He is a strong advocate for our beliefs and values and I look forward to working closely with him in this new role.” Over his 26 year career as an educa-
tor, Mr. Cameron has held positions including secondary teacher, viceprincipal, principal, superintendent and most recently Associate Director of Education. His career began at St. Joseph’s Catholic Secondary School in Cornwall where he taught religious education. During his time as an administrator, Mr. Cameron has gained experience overseeing the Religious and Family Life Education Department, the International Education program, the Adult and Continuing Education program, and the Student Success portfolio. He has acted as a mentor and guide for the CDSBEO Catholic student trustees, and as key facilitator for the CDSBEO parent involvement committee. Mr. Cameron earned his Masters of Education from the University of Ottawa. Director of Education, Wm. J. Gartland expressed his confidence in the appointment. “Our Board has benefited greatly from Mr. Cameron’s participation in planning for the needs of our system in his current capacity as Associate Director of Education. I know that he will bring that same level of passion to this new position.” Mr. Cameron expressed his gratitude. “I am honoured to have been given this opportunity. Our Board has seen much success under the direction of retiring Director of Education Wm. J. Gartland, and I look forward to building on those successes as I take on this exciting role. Over the years, I have enjoyed working with the Board of Trustees in my capacity as superintendent and associate director, and I look forward to continuing to work with them to nurture the hearts, minds, bodies and souls of our students.”

With no other options Merlin and Eggsy open the doomsday vault. Inside is a bottle of Statesman whiskey, and a clue that leads them to Kentucky.

My Take
No longer the hero in training, now just the hero. I must admit Colin Firth is my favourite. He's so far removed from Hollywood's stereotypical action hero, yet he's so smooth and natural in the role. I could watch him teach manners all day. The Golden Circle is all kinds of fun. A must-see film for sure. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

BarnDoor Productions 23rd season opener, A Perfect Likeness, teams David Bird (left as Scrooge in BDP’s December 2016 A Christmas Carol) and Connor Williamson (right as Last Duel survivor John Wilson in BDP’s June 2016 The Last Deadman) as Charles Dickens and Lewis Carroll. All of the details are at www.barndoorproductions.ca.
Laughter, fun and fireworks create 'A Perfect Likeness' Combine a vibrant new script with a talented and experienced cast and you're going to get interesting results. Make it a two-person play about two of the most important writers of all time and it's going to be memorable. Make it a show from Perth's BarnDoor Productions and real entertainment is going to happen. A Perfect Likeness is a new play by Daniel Rover Singer. Singer is one of the three writers of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) which was a huge hit for BarnDoor Productions several years ago — a 90-minute romp through all of Shakespeare's plays, culminating with a high-speed backward version of Hamlet. A Perfect Likeness is a different beast from the madcap Complete Works. It finds its laughs (and there are lots of them) in the minds of its two characters: Charles Dickens and Charles Dodgson. If Dickens is "the man who invented Christmas," then Dodgson might as easily be known as "the man who invented childhood" — in the form of his alter ego Lewis Carroll. Between the two of them, they created our mind's-eye vision of what Victorian England was all about. Singer's play is a fiction. Taking the two known facts that Dodgson was an avid photographer and that he once asked Dickens' publisher for his home address (they had the same publisher), Singer has created a fast-paced, fiery story of what might have happened had Dodgson requested that Dickens visit to sit for a photograph. From there, it's an exploration of the characters of each of the famous authors, with lots of surprises and turns on the way. The show, which started in a workshop production in Winston-Salem, N.C., has garnered praise as it has gained reputation. "The power of the play is in the fireworks that fly," said the Los Angeles Theatre Review. Broadway World (Los Angeles) said it was "suffused with joy, laughter, love of language and the spirit of fun," while the Winston-Salem Journal said
it was "so lovely and entertaining that you want it to be true." To successfully bring these two giants of literature to life, BarnDoor Productions has paired two of the area's strongest performers, and their energy, even in early rehearsals, is infectious. Connor Williamson is a young Perth performer who already has two summers of experience with the Classic Theatre Festival, as well as roles in a number of BarnDoor shows, behind him. David Bird is a stalwart whose history with BarnDoor Productions goes back to their first production. Bird has become the area's premiere performer of Dickens, especially of A Christmas Carol, and now, he gets a chance to play Dickens himself. A Perfect Likeness is just the first show in BarnDoor Productions' 23rd season. The December production, Cinderella, and the February production, Panto Can Be Murder, are the front- and backstage versions of the same performance: see the first with your kids for lots of laughs (including laughs for adults), then see the second to find out the dark secrets happening backstage. Then, in April, another new play, The Taming by Lauren Gundersen, takes a pair of jagged scissors to American politics, beauty pageants and Shakespeare. BarnDoor is also lining up their 2018 summer series, with the classic farce Charley's Aunt set for June and, in August, Willm Shaksper, a new play about the life of the man who became the Bard of Avon, with a yet-to-beannounced play for July.

There is no better place in Lanark County to witness the panoramic spectacle of fall colours than from the summit of Blueberry Mountain. This singularly beautiful display of nature remains central to our upcoming event on Sunday, Oct. 1, but it will be enriched this fall by the opportunity to learn about the ancient plants and geological features that made cliffLAND special. Ecologist Dr. Paul Keddy recently visited Blueberry Mountain and added to our understanding of its history. Nearby Flower Round Lake is known to have been formed 9,500 years ago with a surrounding terrain of postglacial herbaceous plants and small shrubs, followed by pine and spruce forest, and then some 7,500 years ago deciduous trees such as maple, beech and oak had moved in to form our present day forests. But on Blueberry Mountain and similar large high ridges where trees cannot grow, those postglacial cliff and rock barren plants can still be found — such as bearberry, bristly sarsparilla, rusty weedsia fern, bastard toadflax, pinweed and cowwheat. These plants are part of an ancient ecological community hearkening back so many centuries. On Sunday, Oct. 1, at our annual Blueberry Mountain Fall Colours Walk, you are invited to join the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust not only for the spectacular views of a brilliant vista of colour, but also to learn about the unique features that define this geographic location. Registration is at 10 a.m. A donation of $10 per person is requested and children 12 and under are free. Children under 12 will be awarded certificates for making the climb. Refreshments will be served after the walk. Blueberry Mountain is located at 502 Hills of Peace Rd. near Flower Station in Lanark Highlands. Drive north of Lanark on Highway 511 to Brightside. Turn left on to the French Line Rd. Drive toward Flower Station and watch for the right turn when

Wildlife in your woods: 50 Million Tree Program offers site visits to landowners Want to see more wildlife on your land? Since 2007, Forests Ontario has been helping landowners to attract more “nature” to their land with the 50 Million Tree Program. Over the life of this program, more than 22 million trees have been planted on private land, and most landowners have cited the attraction of wildlife as their prime reason for signing up with the program. Landowners with a minimum of 2.5 acres (one hectare) of plantable land may be eligible for this generous tree planting incentive program. “Many trees provide pollen and

nectar for bees and other pollinators early in the spring before fruit trees and plants flower. Adding trees to my land was beneficial for my bees, and trees are also important because they provide homes for nesting birds and animals,” says Forests Ontario green leader Karin Tomosky. Animals large and small can benefit from the presence of trees, which provide a potential food source, as well as protection from predators and severe weather. Expanding the tree cover on a property can create habitat for wildlife — and can quickly start to attract birds, small mammals and pollinators.
Fall is prime time for the planting partners to visit landowners to evaluate their properties for the 50 Million Tree Program. Interested landowners should act now to set up a site visit. This allows time for site preparation before trees are planted in the spring. Plant trees on your land — give wildlife a leg up — and help Ontario plant 50 million trees by 2025. To find out more about the 50 Million Tree Program and to submit an application, please visit forestsontario. ca/50MTP. For additional questions, contact the forestry outreach co-ordinator,

As well, forested riparian (shoreline) areas are important for their combination of improving water quality, reducing stream-bank erosion and providing cover to a host of land and aquatic creatures. Through the 50 Million Tree Program, landowners are able to access funding support of up to 75 per cent of total planting costs as well as ongoing forest management assistance. A local planting partner — an experienced forestry professional — will work with you to create a plan that suits your property’s unique needs and help improve the value of your land.

About 50 Million Tree Program Forests Ontario administers the Ontario government’s 50 Million Tree Program, part of the United Nations Billion Tree Campaign. The United Nations' goal is to plant one billion trees worldwide each year. Ontario is committed to plant 50 million trees by 2025. The 50 Million Tree Program is designed to reduce the costs to landowners of large-scale tree planting and thereby increase the number of trees planted across the province.

Le Boat celebrates soft opening of North American headquarters BY EVELYN HARFORD
eharford@metroland.com
The historic lockmaster’s house at 1 Jasper Ave. in Smiths Falls is no longer empty — it’s now home to the North American headquarters of Europe’s largest self-driving boat company, Le Boat. Le Boat has cleaned out, restored and refinished the building with new paint and refinished floors. The building, owned by Parks Canada, has laid empty since the ‘60s. Le Boat is investing $16 million into their first venture within Canada, including the creation of 10 new jobs in the region. Securing the multimillion-dollar investment was made possible with support from the province through the Eastern Ontario Development Fund, the Tourism Development Fund and the Tourism Industry Partners Program. Le Boat will offer tourists a unique Europeanstyle, self-hire boating service on the Rideau Canal with its base in Smiths Falls. “This really is a dream come true for us,” said Cheryl Brown, Le Boat’s managing director, in front of the crowd that came to celebrate the company’s soft opening at its new location on Wednesday, Sept. 20. Brown said when she first toured the Rideau Canal two years ago, she was in awe. “How incredible is this?” she recalled saying at the time. “Why have we not visited here before?” Since the visit, the push was on to bring Le Boat to the area.

Le Boat’s Managing Director, Cheryl Brown, cuts the ribbon at the historic lockmaster’s house at 1 Jasper Ave. in Smiths Falls that will be home to the company’s new North American headquarters. Brown is surrounded by her Le Boat team, including those that will be working out of their Smiths Falls location. “We truly have fallen in love with the Rideau Canal,” Brown said. Smiths Falls Coun. Chris Cummings, who spoke as the mayor’s representative, recalled his first meeting with the Le Boat team in August 2015.
HIRE
At the time, Cummings said, the town did its best to convince Le Boat that the Rideau Canal — and Smiths Falls in particular — would make a great location for their North American headquarters. But, he wasn’t convinced that they’d be success-
ful. It turned out his fears were in vain. Fast forward to September 2017 and Le Boat is only seven months away from welcoming the first paying guests to tour the Rideau Canal. “The support from Smiths
Falls has been absolutely amazing,” Brown said. “The people of Canada are absolutely amazing. It’s been a real pleasure.” She thanked each municipality that has been involved See Le Boat page SF5

Smiths Falls receives national award for the Spirit of the Drum Traditional Powwow The Smiths Falls community won a National Marketing Awards presented by the Economic Developers Association of Canada (EDAC) for the Spirit of the Drum Powwow on Tuesday, Sept. 12. Smiths Falls received an award for ‘Best of the Best’ in the promotions category for the Spirit of the Drum Powwow hosted by the Indigenous Studies students of Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute (SFDCI) and the Town of Smiths Falls. In the spirit of resiliency, reconciliation and education the SFDCI and the students of the Indigenous Studies Program and our Indigenous youth hosted a traditional powwow on Turtle Island in the Town of Smiths Falls on June 10-11. The purpose of the powwow was to bring people together; to connect the school with the community; and to share, teach and celebrate indigenous culture and traditions. SFDCI is within the Upper Canada District School Board spanning the Traditional Territories of the Algonquin and the Mohawk Nations. We were pleased to welcome the Akwesasne Mohawks as well as the Al-
gonquins of Pikwàkanagàn First Nation, who conducted the powwow. Other First Nations communities who participated included the Shabot Obadjiwaan Algonquins, as well as members of First Nations communities from as far away as Oka, Mattawa, and James Bay. Indigenous Studies students from SFDCI planned the event over the preceding school year, researching the impact of colonization on First Nations communities, Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women, and First Nations history and culture, with a lens on the future of Reconciliation. Students prepared art installations on their findings as part of a large outdoor gallery exhibit, which included a memorial ‘garden’ of figures of women in red dresses that told their individual stories. All of this learning culminated through their Inquiry Question: What does it mean to be indigenous in Canada in 2017? They reached out to invite participants from First Nations in the region, to share their culture with the community of Smiths Falls. As part of a traditional powwow, four Sacred Fire-keepers are chosen to attend to
the lighting and maintenance of the sacred fire throughout the event. SFDCI students of First Nations descent, including AJ Gunner, Bear Clan, from James Bay, worked with an Elder from Akwesasne, Romaine Mitchell, to conduct a dawn ceremony to light the Sacred Fire, and spent both Friday and Saturday nights keeping watch over the ceremonial fire on Duck Island. The site of Duck Island, in the Rideau Canal in the centre of Smiths Falls, was chosen for its significance to the Algonquin First Nation communities, in particular the site of Turtle Island, which featured the outdoor exhibit. The powwow featured traditional song, dance and drumming, directed by Arena Host Romaine Mitchell, with drum groups and dancers gathering from across the region to participate. Other participants included elders, veterans, and flag carriers, who bore the flags of their First Nation communities during the opening and closing ceremonies. Town councillors Joe Gallipeau, Dawn Quinn, and Jay Brennan carried the Canada flag during the opening and closing parades each day. A traditional
gift blanket followed the closing ceremonies, with gifts given to Pow Wow participants on behalf of the Town of Smiths Falls. Brennan commented: “Participating in this year’s powwow was a true honour and a great opportunity to join with the indigenous community in a celebration of culture and togetherness. I salute the students and teachers of SFDCI who made it happen.” Vendors and exhibitors selling traditional food and crafts were on site throughout the weekend. Chef Jeff Burns and the hospitality students from SFDCI prepared a traditional feast for the drummers and dancers that featured bison roast with a blueberry reduction, wild rice harvested in Ontario, and vegetables prepared with maple syrup. The Smiths Falls Fire Fighters Association served samples of bison meat, supplied by Battle Creek Bison and prepared by Valley Custom Cutting, to the public free of charge, along with traditional bannock provided by C’est Tout Bakery. This project was made possible in part by the Government of Canada. Submitted by the Town of Smiths Falls

SIU ends investigation into death of man in Rideau Lakes STAFF
The Director of the Special Investigations Unit (SIU), Tony Loparco, has terminated an investigation into an incident where a 43-year-old man sustained a self-inflicted gunshot wound in June of 2017 and succumbed to his injuries days later, according to media release issued on Monday, Sept. 18. According to the release, a preliminary investigation found the following: In the afternoon hours of June 3, 2017, an Ontario Provincial Police officer with the
Rideau Lakes detachment contacted the man by phone to advise him of pending charges. The officer advised the man to turn himself in, and told the man he would be released on an undertaking. At 3:20 p.m., the man called 911 and reported that he had shot himself. Police officers and paramedics were dispatched to the man’s home, where he was located in nearby bushes. He was transported to the Ottawa Civic Hospital by air ambulance, and underwent surgery.
The man succumbed to his injuries. He was pronounced dead at 7:47 p.m. on June 9, 2017. “A postmortem examination confirmed that the man died as a result of complications from a gunshot to the chest. When the man shot himself, no police officer was present. As such, there being no evidence that any police officer was responsible for the man’s death, this investigation has been terminated,” said Loparco in a statement included in the release. The SIU is an arm’s length agency that investigates reports
involving police where there has been death, serious injury or allegations of sexual assault. Under the Police Services Act, the Director of the SIU must consider whether an officer has committed a criminal offence in connection with the incident under investigation depending on the evidence, lay a criminal charge against the officer if appropriate or close the file without any charges being laid report the results of any investigations to the Attorney General.

The Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society welcomes Professor Michael Runtz
The Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society welcomes Professor Michael Runtz of the Institute of Environmental Science at Carleton University to its Oct. 4 meeting. Runtz will speak of Flying Dragons and Damsels that Cause Distress. Dragonflies and damselflies belong to odonata, an ancient order of insects that appeared on Earth over 300 million years ago – even before the dinosaurs. Back then they were as big as hawks. They still dazzle us with their aerobatics. Able to hover motionless, and then dart in any direction, they have been dubbed
‘mosquito hawks’. There are some 200 dragonflies and damselflies in Ontario. A typical area has about 100 species. More and more, people who go looking for birds and butterflies are hunting for dragonflies as well, and for their smaller cousins, damselflies. There is now a field guide, and Facebook groups organizing excursions and sending out alerts of sightings of rarer species. Runtz says that the species number is not huge, compared with birds and butterflies, so it is easy to remember who’s who. The immature nymphs live only
in water but adults can forage into dry forests or fields for food. Others stay near water, often a specific type: ponds for some, fast running streams for others. In short, you can find them in nearly any habitat, most of which don’t involve getting your feet wet. Runtz, one of Canada’s most highly respected naturalists, nature photographers and authors, first started observing dragon and damsel flies in 1980, before there were field guides. He will provide intimate insights into the lives of these flying fossils and anecdotes, in his
inimitably humourous style, of his observation of common and rarer species. The society meets the first Wednesday of the month from April to November at the Portland Community Hall, 24 Water St. Free refreshments and social time begin at 6:45 p.m., with the meeting starting at 7:15 p.m. Admission is free for members and $5 for guests. The annual membership fee is $15 and guest admissions count toward the annual fee. Submitted by the Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society

in making their Canadian expansion a reality. In addition to councillors and staff of the Town of Smiths Falls, the mayors of Merrickville, Rideau Lakes and Westport were in attendance at the event. Westport Mayor Robin Jones came in her role as warden of the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville. Le Boat staff have slowly started to move into the lockmaster’s house and will start operations in the building in October, welcoming their first guests next spring. “We’re very fortunate to be in such a historical building,” said Lisa McLean, Le Boat’s marketing manager for Canada, U.S. and Latin America, who will be based out of Smiths Falls’ new location. “We’re excited to bring new life to the lockmaster’s house in Smiths Falls.” Le Boat is not only bringing life to a historical building in
Smiths Falls, but they’re also going to make waves in the economies of municipalities along the Rideau Canal. “Naturally, we are thrilled,” said Jones. “The exposure our little part of Canada is getting is amazing. We are getting that exposure in Europe and beyond.” Jones said the opportunities to establish this part of Ontario with Le Boat is a great opportunity. “It’s unfathomable what it’s going to mean,” she said. Ron Holman, the mayor of Rideau Lakes, shared Jones’ excitement. “Certainly, this will bring exposure to our area,” he said. “It opens many opportunities for the future.” Holman said Le Boat’s arrival will be a great thing for all municipalities on the canal, especially as it pertains to economic development. “I think Le Boat will bring pressure to how we can develop our municipalities,” Holman
said. “The ball sort of shifts to our court.” The Town of Smiths Falls is also pleased. “We’re so excited for the Town of Smiths Falls,” said Cyril Cooper, the town’s economic development manager. “We look forward to a long and prosperous relationship.” The company will be shipping 16 boats from Europe to Smiths Falls in year one. Brown said she’d be happy if they could get 32 boats to town by year three. The original plan was to get 32 boats to Smiths Falls by year five of their operations. And more boats means more money injected into the local economy. Brown said unlike cruises, Le Boat customers spend money off of their boats and in the local communities. “We look forward to them (Le Boat customers) spending loads of money, because our customers have loads of money,” she said.
So far, 25 per cent of the trips are sold. The first customers will depart on May 18, 2018. Parks Canada expressed their excitement for Le Boat’s arrival to the Rideau Canal. “We’re so happy with the level of co-operation we’ve seen,” said Jewel Cunningham,
director of the waters unit at Parks Canada. “It’s been a year of milestones.” This year, the Rideau Canal celebrated the 10th anniversary of its UNESCO designation, along with its 185th season — making the canal the longest serving canal in Canada. Cunningham said the Le
Boat launch creates another chapter for the Rideau Canal and will help fulfil the vibrant vision for the future. “We’re certainly thrilled Le Boat is a part of that.” Le Boat agrees. “For us, this is just the beginning — watch out, Canada,” Brown said.

Smiths Falls church group heads to Haiti to deliver radios, God’s message BY EVELYN HARFORD
eharford@metroland.com
A group of women from the Smiths Falls Free Methodist Church have tuned in to their charitable urges, and are off to Haiti to deliver radios and God’s message. The group of nine, ranging from age 14 to 79, headed off to Haiti – the poorest country in the Americas and one of the poorest countries in the world – last Friday to deliver hundreds of radios as part of a mission through Galcom International Canada. The organization works to provide solar-powered radios and audio players tuned in to a Creole Christian radio station and programmed with an audio bible. “We have bibles galore here (in Canada),” said the team’s lead, Rosemary Skuce. “I mean you can go to the dollar store and get bibles, and over there it’s very hard to get a bible in Creole (the native Haitian language).” “Let alone (get a bible in), English,” chimed in Maegan Stoll, another Haiti-trip participant. Both Stoll and Skuce have been to Haiti before. Skuce started going to Haiti, after the devastating 2010 earthquake rocked the country, to help rebuild schools and churches. In total, she’s been eight times: four or five times to assist in the rebuilding efforts, and in two subsequent years she worked with Galcom and taught at a school for two months – experiences that have profoundly impacted her. “Every time you come back from a mission trip, you need less and you serve or give away more because you see so much going on that it just changes your mindset, and it changes your reality,” she said. Stoll went to Haiti with a local group in February 2015, and for her it changed her perspective too. “It really helps you realize what’s important in life,” she said. “Being able to bless them (Haitians) with something that’s so simple for us, but so simple to them, it’s almost heartbreaking because we just take that for granted.” Stoll recalled a young student she was able to help on the trip she took with her husband and other local folks. “(The young student) was studying evangelism and didn’t have access to an English bible,” she said. “He had a bible in Creole. (But) he really, really needed an English bible to further his studies. He just couldn’t get access to one. So, I said, I’ll be right back.” When they returned, Stoll and her husband gifted the student with a bible to help him on his education journey. “We take it for granted,” she said. “Unless you go and experience it I

don’t think you fully understand how much they appreciate it.” Radios for people living in the global south are crucial tools for community connection and learning. “Many of them (Haitians), they can’t read.” Rosemary. “It’s absolutely everything for them. They’re really such a treasure for people.” Radios are handed out one per family, door-to-door, by Galcolm volunteers like those traveling from Smiths Falls. Stoll said that although the radios are handed out one per family, they can draw hundreds of people come out to listen to it. “Hundreds of people could be saved just from one radio, you know,” she said. “They can hear the gospel, get to know God and his love, the message of salvation, just from one single radio – it’s quite impactful.” The Smiths Falls group will be traveling with 35 radios in each suitcase and will hand out hundreds to families in Haiti. The Smiths Falls group will also be travelling with a missionary veteran, Alice Stoll. She’s been on mission trips over 20 times to countries including Nigeria, India and Kenya – but not Haiti. “I’m just absolutely thrilled,” she said. “Everybody ought to know who Jesus is, and what better way.” For Faye Young, it’ll be her first mission trip and her first trip to a developing country. Before deciding to participate this year, she’d heard people talking about the trip and was intrigued – it was just never the right time for her to go. But this year was different. Young is excited to be able to give back to people who are less fortunate that herself. “I’m looking forward just looking in their eyes and just being able to love them,” she said. The group will be staying at the One Mission Society (OMS) in Cap Haitien located on the island’s northern coast. OMS isn’t just a lodging, it’s a complex with a medical centre, dental clinic, a seminary and Creole Christian radio station, funded by churches around the world.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
We welcome your comments and concerns, email ljweir@metroland.com

Visitor feeling appreciated in Smiths Falls DEAR EDITOR:
Recently a friend and I met a friend in Smiths Falls for lunch and a bit of shopping. The other friend lives in Ottawa so Smiths Falls was a good midpoint. We had a great lunch at Rob Roy’s Pub and had a very capable and very pleasant server. The clerks in both shops we were in were so kind and accommodating, wishing us a wonderful weekend as we left. My friend from Brockville uses a wheelchair periodically. We were struggling a bit with that on one of the sidewalks and a 20-something young man immediately offered his assistance. Shortly after, another older man offered his assistance in putting the wheelchair into the back of my car. We went through the drive-thru at Tim Hortons before heading home and the young man in the drive-thru window couldn’t have been nicer. We marvelled at how pleasant and accommodating everyone had been to us. That is the kind of feeling you want to have when you leave a city or town. Cathy Deir Brockville

maintaining this area of parkland and recreational playing fields for everyone to enjoy. Is there another town of this size with as many facilities that encourage people of all ages to get out and enjoy the outdoors? With four ice surfaces (one curling and three hockey – including the outdoor Sens rink), tennis courts, squash courts, nu-
merous ball and soccer fields for all ages, the splash pad for the children, there is plenty to keep kids of all ages occupied. The input of the various local service clubs cannot be overlooked for their contributions in this area. Also I was pleased to see in last week’s paper that the pool at the Gallipeau Centre will be
reopening soon. Thanks Joe, I hope there’s sufficient interest for you to make a go of it. Yes Smiths Falls has some issues as do all small towns, loss of industry for example, but I am happy to be able to call Smiths Falls home for the last 49 years.

I
t was a journey. I started with a flat tire and ended up with a broken jack, twigs in my hair and a mailman, turned mechanic and impromptu rescuer. I woke up on Tuesday last week (our production day at the paper and busiest day of the week), got ready for work and proceeded to race to work. Unbeknownst to me then, my Subaru had a flat tire. I got down the driveway and onto the road before I noticed (our driveway is gravel and pretty uneven). Once I realized that I wouldn’t be able to drive my car to work, I turned around and headed back home. No big deal, I thought. We have three vehicles just for situations like this. I loaded my camera, notebook and lunch into our 2002 Jetta. It’s pretty sketchy these days, but it drives. I turned the key, and a puff of black smoke jetted out the back. Yikes, I thought. I headed out of the driveway and got a couple kilometres down the road before realizing, in the chaos of shifting everything from one car to the other, I’d left my phone behind – not a good move when driving a car on the verge of death. So, for the second time that morning I turned around to get it. Better safe than sorry, right? I rushed back, got my phone and, again, got on the road. Isn’t the third time supposed to be the
Flat tire travesty charm? All was well (I thought). I might have been a bit sweaty, but at least I was going to make it to work to type up some outstanding stories from the council meeting the night before, and get caught up and ready to put the paper together. I normally get into the office around 7 or 8 a.m. on Tuesdays. But, that wasn’t in the cards last week. I got about 10 kilometres away from home when I realized that something on the Jetta was dragging on the ground. Scrreee … the sound made. I tuned into a side street and the noise stopped. OK, I thought. Maybe it’s gone away. And it did, for a bit. I drove another six kilometres down the road and the noise started again. Scrreee … the sound made again. Except this time the noise, and whatever was causing it, started to affect my steering. So, I pulled over, put the hazards on and checked it out. Sure enough a huge piece of plastic covering the undercarriage had come loose. Laying on the ground on the side of the road, I pulled off the big piece of plastic and realized that the car might not be safe to drive. I turned around again, called my fiancé and asked for help. “You can change the tire on the Subaru yourself,” he said. “I’ll talk you through it over the phone.” After a five minute argument
EVELYN HARFORD View From Here over whether or not I was actually capable of changing the tire, I finally decided to give it a shot. I mean, after all, how hard is it to change a tire? So, when I got home, I grabbed my cordless phone – yes, a landline, because we live in the middle of nowhere and don’t have cell reception. Step one: Get the tire, he said. OK, should be simple enough, I thought. Wrong. After heaving one of my winter tires out of the back of the garage, I started to roll it out the door of the garage and down the stairs. But stupid me, thought the tire would stop once it left the garage. Well it didn’t. Instead, it started to roll down the hill in front of our house. It rolled about 200 metres with me chasing behind, pin wheeling my arms, and into the forest that lines our property. With twigs now in my hair, I started the long journey of rolling the tire back up the hill and next to the car so I could start step two, jacking up the car. Again, it should be simple enough, I thought.
Once I found the jack and a place to put it, I started to lift up the car. It was hard – too hard. I asked my fiancé, who was still dutifully on the phone with me, why it was so hard. He wasn’t sure. “Are you turning the handle? Is it lifting?” he asked. “Yes,” I responded. “But not that well.” “Well, just keep going,” he said. And I did. I lifted the car, was able to get all the nuts off and remove the problem tire. I was centimetres away from getting the winter tire on, when the car crashed to the ground. Vuumpp! “Ahh!” I screamed. The jack had broken. It had bent in half because I had put it under the car upside down. I learned this hours later after the picture of the set up I had sent my fiancé actually came through via text message because of our shoddy cell reception. “What happened?” he asked. “The jack broke,” I responded, and heaved the tools and tires crying angry tears. “Why can’t I do this!?”
No one knew. So, once my angry tears had finished, I realized I should have called CAA all along. Once I called, I knew my saviour would be there soon. But before CAA could get there, our mailman arrived. “What’s going on?” he asked. I explained the situation and he told me he could help. “Great,” I said. “Thanks a million.” The mail guy changed my tire and finally, after the emotional rollercoaster, I was on my way. But the experience got me thinking. Why isn’t simple car maintenance or repairs part of learning to drive? I mean, we’ve all be there, scratching our heads wondering what the heck to do when we get a flat or when the car just won’t start. Some of us learned, but most people – especially in Toronto where I’m from – don’t know how to change a tire let alone repair their own vehicle. We rely on mechanics, or in my case the mail guy. Now I’ve learned – but it took a few tears and a broken jack to do it.

HEREFORD, JOHN HENRY “HARRY”
Evelyn passed away peacefully at Valley Stream Retirement Home, Nepean, on Tuesday, September 19, 2017. Evelyn was in her 95th year. She was born in Cardross, Saskatchewan to the late Stewart and Frances Traill (nee Burns). Ev was predeceased by her loving husband, Alexander John (2005), her grandson, Alexander John (2008) and her dear brother, D’Arcy. Evelyn will be missed by her son, Alexander “Bud” and daughter, Frances Elin, both of Oxford Mills, Ontario. She was a grandmother to Tanya Lee, and great-grandmother to Bradlee and Alexandria “Allie”. She is survived by her dear sister, Dorothy “Dot” Ackerman, and her brothers, Vern, Les, and Edward Traill. Ev’s childhood dream was to become an airline stewardess; she began her career with the Royal Canadian Air Force, stationed in Manitoba. It was during this posting that Evelyn met her future soul mate and husband, Alec. Married life with Alec would take her and their children all across Canada and Europe as they pursued his military career. During these hectic years, Ev managed to carve out time to develop favourite pastimes and hobbies, such as oil painting, knitting, crocheting, gardening, and ceramics. By 1983, after completing their final posting in the nation’s capital, Ev and Alec were very excited to share their retirement years in a well-appointed home on Buckshot Lake. Evelyn took over Alec’s designated office space to create her own art studio, where she could devote hours to creating her oil painting masterpieces, which she loved to share with family and friends. For health reasons, a relocation closer to Perth was necessary by 1996; Ev and Alec moved into a model house in the newly developed Perthmore subdivision. Cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life was held on Saturday, September 23 at 1:00 pm in the reception facilities of the O’Dacre Family Funeral Home, Ltd. Mrs. Evelyn Milne’s arrangements have been entrusted to the care of the O’Dacre Family Funeral Home, of Perth.

Lanark Lodge undergoes successful annual inspection Council has received the annual Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care inspection results for Lanark Lodge. Earlier this month, director Deborah Pidgeon presented the 2017 results in a report to the community services committee. She explained inspectors have a duty to identify all non-compliances found during an inspection in their report. Instances and actions to be taken are then posted in homes, provided to residents’ and family councils, as well as published on the ministry’s website. Inspections are unannounced and random, and they include protocols on admission processes, dining, infection prevention and control practices, resident charges, quality improvement practices, residents’ council interviews and family council interviews. The unannounced visit to the
lodge by two inspectors for the annual review began on July 10 for a period of six days. It consisted of a compliance review, as well as a review of three incidents from 2017. The process included structured interviews with residents, family members and staff, direct observations of how care and services are being delivered, as well as specifically targeted health record reviews. Pidgeon noted the lodge’s resident quality inspection results have been significantly better than the provincial average. The public report has been posted. “The results of this inspection are a significant accomplishment for our organization and reinforce the high commitment to resident care and services,” Pidgeon said. “Each Lanark Lodge staff member contributed to the overall success of our on-site review and are to be congratulated on a highly successful annual inspection.”
Satisfaction survey completed for lodge Pidgeon presented the results of the resident/family satisfaction survey for 2017 at the community services committee meeting earlier this month, which was then received by council. The anonymous survey helps the lodge to determine trends and make an action plan for improvements. Residents and families could choose to complete the survey at computer kiosk, via an electronic link sent to the family distribution list or by using a paper copy; it was completed over four weeks in June. The target rate for completion was 30 per cent and the home achieved a response rate of 31 per cent. Twenty-four per cent of respondents were residents, while the rest were the power of attorney or friends of the residents. Pidgeon said there is a trend that resident acuity rates are increas-

ing, resulting in fewer residents being able to complete it without help. Ninety-four per cent of respondents indicated they are satisfied overall with the quality of care and services in the home, which is consistent over the last few years. As well, 98 per cent said they would recommend the home to a friend. Similarly high scores were received for family members feeling welcome, cleanliness of the home, enjoyable activities, meal quality, caring and compassionate nursing staff, communication about issues, meal choices and expressing opinions without fear of consequences. Areas of lower score included satisfaction with communication in the home (89 per cent) and medical care by the physician (84 per cent). Pidgeon noted two new physicians have been recruited to support the medical director’s caseload and the lodge is also recruiting for a full-time nurse practitioner. “The remarkable rate of satisfaction achieved in overall care and services, as well as the individual ratings in a number of specific domains, speaks to the high level of concerted effort to promote the best care and services for our elders in Lanark County,” Pidgeon said.
Lanark Lodge strategic plan approved Council has approved the Lanark Lodge Strategic Plan for 2017 to 2019. As the governing body for Lanark Lodge, council is ultimately responsible for the quality and safety of services delivered by the home and plays an important role in enabling an organizational culture that enhances resident safety. The lodge completed an extensive consultation process for the strategic plan, which included an environmental scan, identification of the longterm vision and a strategy for achieving it. Consultants Bessant Pelech and associates assisted with the process that included engaging residents, families, staff, community partners, members of its governing body, physicians, volunteers and the leadership team. The home’s strategy includes the pillars of “modelling the way,” “investing in our people” and “connecting with our community.” There are long-term and shortterm goals, objectives, assigned responsibilities, timelines and deliverable for each pillar. “The strategic plan will allow Lanark Lodge to put business challenges in perspective and tackle them in a co-ordinated way,” said Lanark Lodge director Deborah Pidgeon. “It will also serve as an effective communication tool to provide regular updates to our internal and external partners on our progress.” For more information, contact Pidgeon, director of Lanark Lodge, at 1-888-9-LANARK, ext. 7101.

ing a request to transfer $10,000 in funding previously allocated to the Smiths Falls Youth Centre, which has since closed, to ensure programming for Smiths Falls youth can continue in 2017. At the community services committee meeting earlier this month, a delegation consisting of Smiths Falls director of community services Art Manhire, Big Brothers Big Sisters executive director Jennifer Miller and Youth Action Kommittee (YAK) executive director Jeff Kohl highlighted their collaborative efforts to deliver an after-school program for Smiths Falls and area youth. The plan is to ensure youth who were accessing services through the former youth centre have access to after-school resources, and to evaluate opportunities and needs to determine future programming. The town will offer in-kind space three nights per week for the program; YAK is providing the resources and programming; and Big Brothers Big Sisters is providing leadership, training, program oversight, administration and the hiring and management of staff. Provincial funding through the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport has been confirmed. The reallocated funds will ensure programming until the end of this year and county staff will provide a report to the committee in October regarding the reallocation of the funds that were already designated for the centre in 2018. For more information, contact Kurt Greaves, county chief administrative officer, at 1-888-9-LANARK, ext. 1101. Changes made to procedural bylaw Council has approved a bylaw to amend its procedural bylaw, which governs the calling, place and proceedings of meetings. The procedural bylaw underwent a comprehensive review and rewrite in 2013, but several housekeeping items have been identified. Amendments included the addition of a definition for “New/Other Business,” an update to references to the technology used during meetings, a revision to the order of committee of the whole meetings, the addition of an item indicating delegations cannot address council on policy matters that have been decided within the last 12 months unless council is reconsidering them and an adjustment to references about correspondence circulation. Council may be discussing changes to the warden nomination/election process at a future meeting. For more information, contact Leslie Drynan, clerk, at 1-888-9-LANARK, ext. 1502. Upcoming Meetings * County council: Wednesday, Oct. 11 at 5 p.m.; * Community services: Wednesday, Oct. 11 (following county council).
Inattentive drivers causing more collisions than impaired, speeding motorists Inattentive driving is linked to more collisions on Ontario Provincial Police (OPP)-patrolled roads so far this year than speeding and alcohol/drug-related collisions combined. Since Jan. 1, driver distraction has been reported as the primary cause in 6,360 road collisions. In contrast, speed was the primary cause in 4,700 crashes, while 1,158 of the incidents involved a driver who consumed alcohol or drugs. A total of 47 people have died so far this year because of an inattentive driver, up from 39 such deaths this time last year. "Our collision data is compelling evidence that drivers who text, talk on their cellphone or are distracted in some other way, take a tremendous toll on the safety of those who share the road
with them,” said OPP Commissioner J.V.N. (Vince) Hawkes. “Public complacency about inattentive driving can be just as dangerous as the behaviour itself. Until drivers, passengers and the general public take a firm stand against this road safety issue, these tragedies are expected to continue in large numbers on our roads.'' With children and other students taking to the streets and being bused to school, the need for motorists to pay full attention to driving — and for others to take a firm stand against drivers who are not — has never been greater. How you can help • As a driver, keep your cellphone out of sight. If you need to
use it, pull over at a safe location. • As a passenger, speak up and voice your concerns about your safety when travelling with a distracted driver. By ignoring the problem, you are contributing to the problem. • Spread the word at your school or workplace about the dangers of distracted driving. • Highlight the dangers of distracted driving on social media. • Be a voice in your community. With the exception of 2012, inattentive drivers have taken more lives on OPP-patrolled roads than speeding and alcoholimpaired drivers since Ontario distracted driving laws took effect in 2009.

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.
sudoku
n i a r B e a s e rs
horoscopes ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, it may seem like you have long been preparing for a big event. Now is your chance to finally take action. Try to do something proactive this week. You are ready to move forward.
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Smiths Falls & District Chamber of Commerce gears up for annual gala Smiths Falls & District Chamber of Commerce’s annual Dinner & Dance Gala welcomes special guest, Todd Nicholson, Chef de Mission for the Canadian Paralympic Team – and celebrates Canada 150 with a red and white theme. Gala goers will enjoy wine and hors d’oeuvres co-sponsored by the Vineyard Winery, Carleton Place Terrace and Andress’ Independent. Kick off the night with a social hour from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 13 at Hanley Hall, 30 McGill St. N., Smiths Falls. Then, guests will sit down for a delicious meal and with wines sponsored by Certika Financial and BBD and catered cuisine by Terry Lee of Farrell Hall. Lee is a member of the parish and has years of experience delivering wonderful food for countless events at Hanley Hall. Dinner will start at 7 p.m., with a party following. Emcee, Smiths Falls resident Bob Perreault of Lake88, will lead the guests through the evening. Nicholson's full bio here: http://paralympic.ca/todd-nicholson. A portion of the proceeds from the night will go to Nicholson’s dream of building a fully accessible training centre in the National Capital Region. Details about the project can be found here: https://abilitiescentreottawa. org. “Todd’s achievements are significant and I am sure we will leave here with the feeling that we can all accomplish our goals. We’re extremely pleased that Todd is available to be here tonight and share his experiences,” said Barbara Black, president of the Smiths Falls & District Chamber of Commerce. The gala will also include a dessert auction – a fundraising initiative to raise money for chamber programs. “We are bringing back the dessert auction! It was a huge hit in past years! It’ll showcase some amazing desserts from talented home bakers and from our local restaurants and
bakeries. Get your table working together to bid for your dessert!” said Kristine Fair, chair of the gala committee. A variety of delicious desserts have been donated like a "Heavenly Chocolate Strawberry Dream Cake" from caterers The Dolce Divas. This light and airy layered chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream frosting is topped with fresh strawberries and drizzled with dark chocolate ganache. Finally, the night will end with a live music performance by River City Junction. It is co-sponsored by the Town of Smiths Falls as part of the 2017 On the Roll Music Series and by Mike Fair Chevrolet Buick GMC Cadillac. “River City Junction is a Canadian Blues/ Retro-Rock power trio, long steeped in the traditions of Blues and Rock ‘n' Roll. A rich blend of old school Chicago Blues, Motown, and Classic Rock, their music forms a very potent sonic cocktail that is raw, organic and uplifting. Leaning heavily on their roots, River City Junction's driving sound is deeply infused with elements of yesteryear yet remains distinctively their own,” according to the artists’ webpage. For more information see, http://rivercityjunction.com/ “We have to thank our sponsors for supporting this event. Without them we would not be able to plan such a lovely event with wine and speakers and live music for only $50 per ticket! We’re really looking forward to it. This is going to be a special evening,” said Black. Sponsors include: Centrepiece Sponsor – Gemmell’s Garden Centre, Media Sponsor – Metroland Media, Tickets Printed by Impression Printing. Tickets are $50 before Oct. 1 – Tables of 8 are only $350! Tickets can be bought by calling the chamber at 613-283-1334 or emailing info@smithsfallschamber.ca Submitted by the Smiths Falls & District Chamber of Commerce

To avoid the possible contamination of water sources, farmers should employ these best management practices in their operations: • Prevent pollutants from seeping into the ground or entering into runoff by reducing or eliminating the use of chemicals and fertilizers on your land. • Manage animal waste on farms to prevent water contamination. • Protect the vegetation along the banks of ponds, streams and lakes to help control erosion, provide food for aquatic life, and maintain cooler water temperatures necessary for some species of fish. • Manage livestock grazing. Overgrazing exposes soil and increases erosion. Keep livestock out of ponds, rivers and streams and other sensitive areas such as wetlands. This not only protects the natural areas around the pasture, but keeps your herd productive and happy. • Store chemicals in a dry, properly ventilated and secure area. Keep chemicals and pesticides away from surface water, wells and other vulnerable areas. • Properly install and operate fuel storage tanks to prevent spills. For more information on best management practices for agricultural operations and more, view this PDF from Conservation Ontario: http://goo.gl/OZW6rC or visit their website at www.conservationontario.ca
2017 Final Tax Bills The 2017 Final Tax Bills were mailed in June and included two installments; July 21st and September 22nd. Failure to receive a tax bill in the mail does not excuse the taxpayer from the responsibility of payment, nor does it relieve the liability of penalty for late payment. When using online, telephone, or automated banking, it’s important to make payments at least 3 business days prior to the tax due date in order to meet payment deadlines. Please note that there is a drop off box beside the council entrance door for after hour payments.

Settling in: Young players adjusting to hockey life as Smiths Falls Settlers BY LAURIE WEIR
ljweir@metroland.com
The new 12-team Canadian Premier Junior Hockey League is just two years old, and the Smiths Falls Settlers are now part of that league. This is not your typical junior hockey venture. Under BOSS Development, co-owned and operated by Barry DeGray, and Frank and Michelle Morris, the Smiths Falls Settlers will stay and run its academy from the Gallipeau Centre as part of their operation. Most of the boys on this junior squad are from out of town, and the need for accommodations arose during the recruitment stage last year. After several months of work behind the scenes, DeGray said they are now proud to call the centre home. When you enter the Gallipeau Centre, you can’t help but be daunted by the quarter-mile length of hallway to the Settlers wing. The Smiths Falls Settlers, some may remember, was the name of the junior team here from 1977 to 1982, which played in the Ontario Jr. B league. The former Glengarry Highlanders have been rebranded Smiths Falls Settlers and they not only brought former players to town, but their head coach and his wife as well. Frank and Michelle Morris are also co-owners of BOSS Development and they say they hope to turn this franchise into one where many young hockey players will want to come stay – and play. The Record News caught up with them on Sept. 22 for a tour of their new digs, as well as some behind-the-scenes glances at what is in store for the new hockey team. Frank took a lunch break from teaching a few of the team members at the academy located inside the Settlers wing, which is complete with a big screen television, a boardroom table and big comfy chairs, a couple of computers and lots of windows overlooking the expansive property. The six students enrolled in online courses are home-schooled by way of an academic schedule from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays. Frank said he’s looking to hire tutors to help the students with their work. “This is a tremendous opportunity,” Frank said. It was purely by chance that he met DeGray, as he had been living 28 years overseas and just started the Highlanders in Glengarry last year. “When I started the junior team (in Glengarry), I wanted to start an academy as well. I didn’t know where … my wife and I were just keeping our ears to the ground. It was really by chance that we met Barry, and another friend who told me about this place – the Gallipeau Centre.” Frank came to the centre in November of 2016 to have a look at the facility. “I could see the massive potential. I didn’t jump at it, because it’s not that simple. It’s a lot

The biggest part is the recruiting, he added, and if you’re a new program starting it's more difficult as the league hasn't been established yet. What helped the transition were the Glengarry Highlanders and their track record there. As the youngest team in the league, they won the Michigan Showcase Tournament, “which was phenomenal – and we did it in style, going undefeated through the whole tournament,” he said. “And we were down about five players. So we have a very talented young team and the majority has returned to become Settlers.” Frank played Canadian university hockey for five years, signed a contract with the Winnipeg Jets and “I was in the American Hockey League for a cup of coffee … played maybe 10 games.” Then Frank headed to Europe where he played 18 years and coached professionally there for another five years. He obtained his teaching certificate from Edinburgh University, in Scotland. Afterwards, he taught school for 13 years. “While I was teaching, I worked with national teams – programs. I worked as the head coach for a minor hockey program in charge of all the teams. It is all experience, connections. I took teams to Latvia, Russia; we took our national teams to the British Conference Championships, which we won one year. You’re constantly building connections and networking with people. So I use those connections as a basis to start the recruitment process for the Smiths Falls Settlers.” He said it’s been hard work but the interest is there. “The biggest challenge is that it’s only going into its second year. Getting players to come to
our league, we hit the stigmatization that we’re not Hockey Canada. We’re governed by the AAU (Amateur Athletic Union).” PAY TO PLAY LEAGUE There is a price per player to play in this league, and the team is trying to build a budget. “So that cost falls on the players and the parents,” Frank said. “The players are working to help pay for the cost, and some parents are working to recoup those costs – through sponsorships or however they can.” The cost is $6,500 plus tax, to play in this league. “CCHL may be less, but they get more sponsorship and more people out to watch the games, which is what we are striving to do,” Frank said. “We are working on lowering our fees, getting a league sponsor, things like that. I know the league owner said he may have a corporate sponsor to help offset some of those costs.” It’s frustrating, he said. “Hockey is pretty expensive. If you’re from out of town, the cost is $15,000 to come play here, live here … but we’re a very competitive price when you look around. You’re getting this facility, you’re getting a swimming pool, a gym, and meal plans … we’re running three off-ice sessions a day.” It’s a new opportunity and people are interested in this league, the Settlers in particular, he said. Frank said his goal is to have a prep school at the Gallipeau Centre. “It looks like a prep school – it’s got that feel. Same feel as if you driving into Northwood in Lake Placid. Hopefully, we’ll have an alumni fund and get some academic bursaries for the

kids who want to play here. These are all the things we’re working towards.” DORM LIFE Time management is the biggest thing the team is doing right, Frank said. “It’s building routines into their days. I find that young teenage athletes are so distracted with modern technologies. It’s a great thing – to teach – but at nighttime, I’m knocking on dorms, (telling them to) switch off the phones, get off the X-box … they’re up at 8 a.m. They have to be up at 8 a.m.” They are all on the same schedule to build the routines into their daily lives. “The kids coming in are not used to the regime,” he said, but they work out any problems during team meeting time when they can iron out any issues. Zac Zehnder, 18, hails from Nashville. This is his first time living in a dorm-setting and he said he’s enjoying it. “It’s awesome to live with your teammates,” he said. “That translates to what we do and how well we do it on the ice.” Zehnder played high school hockey and on a travelling team. “This is like college and it’s good prep for that.” Jake Awan of Ogdensburg is also 18. He met DeGray years ago at a skating clinic in Brockville and has kept in touch ever since. “We didn’t really know much about the league, but I had heard about it. I had faith in Barry and I was committed,” he said. Awan spent two years with the Bradford Rattlers Jr. A team of the GMHL and was a VanAm hockey counsellor in Lake Placid. He said he’s looking forward to becoming more interacted with the community. Nunavik cousins John-Roy Watt, 17 and Allen Duncan, 16, said they were connected to the Settlers from their coach back home. “It’s a good experience,” Watt said. Duncan added: “We’ve never done this before – but we’re looking forward to the games and the season.” OPENER The Settlers opened their season Saturday at home to the Maniwaki Mustangs, but lost a 4-2 battle. They turned the corner on Monday night to post a 3-2 OT win against the Coldwater Ice Wolves. DeGray said the Settlers played a stronger game Saturday night, but managed to pull back into contention on Monday to earn the win. “They were right there Saturday night,” he said. “It was a better game … last night (Monday) they started slow, but held on and got the OT win.” Scoring Monday for the Settlers were Reilly DeGray, Taylor Lemay and Darius Shashaweskum. Reilly had both goals in the team’s opener Saturday night.
