Residents of Smiths Falls and area have been waiting patiently for the new name to be revealed of the County Fair Mall. Well, wait no longer, as new signs have been erected. The Settlers Ridge Centre signage, that replaces the County Fair Mall signs, features a horse and wagon recognizing the town’s heritage. “The name came from Chris (Saumure – the building’s owner) and his love of the history of the town,” said Pat Wiseman, the general manager of the mall. “And because of the geographical location, it’s sitting on a ridge. No where in our search of the history did we find anything about a county fair, so we’re not sure where that name came from. And we certainly couldn’t call it the Brockville Mall (due to its location on Brockville Street). So we went with more of a history of the town and a geography of the area as to its new name.” Larger signage is also going in. But things are happening inside See SETTLERS RIDGE page SF 2

Heritage homes and modern construction come together with inspiring seasonal décor and a Canada 150 twist in this year’s annual Heritage Perth Christmas House Tour, Dec. 2 and 3. This is the 12th year for the event, which is organized by and serves as a fundraiser for the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) Perth & District chapter, a voluntary non-profit organization committed to human rights, promoting education and improving the status of women. Throughout the year, organizers have been busy lining up an incredible selection of eight homes for visitors to explore. Each home is paired up with an area decorator and florist who dream up a holiday design scheme tailored to the unique features of the spaces. “The homes are absolutely wonderful this year and with the amazing touches planned by our talented decorators and florists, they are sure to come alive with Christmas spirit and enchantment,” noted Donna Morrow, chair of the CFUW Heritage Perth Christmas House Tour. “Along with the décor, talented musicians will be playing in all the homes throughout the tour.” The house tour drew nearly 900 visitors from across eastern Ontario and parts of the United States, attracting those interested in local history, heritage conservation, home construction, restoration and seasonal decorating. This lineup fits in with the celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday, offering an Ontario blend of culture and heritage. There’s a 200-year-old home lovingly renovated over four years, a Victorian double brick home that’s been in the same family for three generations, as well as an 1858 rural stone home that’s been restored and remained in that family for more than six generations, just to name a few special stops on the tour. The Heritage Perth Christmas House Tour serves as a fundraiser for

rior décor and updates have taken into account its history and charm. An original log home also remains on the property. North 44° Land Design Inc. will handle décor and exterior florals for this house and Gemmell’s Flowers Limited will be the interior florist. An original ‘workers’ cottage built in 1874 is found at the next stop, 22 Gore Street West in Perth. This property received an architecture heritage award for its exterior updates in 2013, while the interior boasts original flooring and a modern kitchen with a large family room. Eclectic international art mixes well with the owner’s creations. Designs by R will decorate the space and interior florals will be provided by The Floral Boutique. Hillside Gardens is the exterior florist. A new build on the foundation of a former house is at 14 Thom Street in Perth. Visitors will find a warm, See HERITAGE page 4

Since the tour’s inception, nearly $200,000 has been allocated in Lanark County. This year’s lineup First stop on the tour this year is the 200-yearold stone home found at 17604 Highway 7 in Tay Valley Township. Situated in a country farm setting, this house has been updated for modern living and includes plenty of windows and natural light. Other features include an Amish kitchen, multiple fireplaces and modern amenities paired with the original plaster ceiling in the living room, pine floors, antique doors and panels. Serving as the decorator and interior florist for this home is Kelly’s Flowers, while The Garden Market will provide exterior holiday urns.

The 32nd annual Lanark County Child and Family Services/OPP Angel Tree program was launched Thursday, Nov. 9 at a variety of spots across the county, including the newly renovated Pakenham branch of the Mississippi Mills Public Library. Above, from left: OPP Const. Greg Streng, OPP Const. Paige Whiting and library employee Karen Kiddy prepare to hang some tags on a tree.
Angel tree program kicks off 32nd year It’s year 32 and the Lanark County Child and Family Services/OPP Angel Tree program continues to be a success thanks to the generosity and Christmas spirit in Lanark County and the surrounding area. This year, the program is starting off with 560 angels and was launched Thursday, Nov. 9. The “angels” assigned to trees are children directly affiliated with Lanark County Child
and Family Services or other agencies connected with child and family services and the goal is to provide a Christmas gift to each child. The Lanark County municipal offices of Tay Valley, Lanark Highlands, Drummond/ North Elmsley, Montague, Beckwith and Mississippi Mills, who have been with the program since the start are participating once again. We thank
those employees who continue to monitor the trees and assist with the dispersal of the angels into the communities.

Hay Design will serve as decorator for this house and Acanthus Floral & Botanicals will provide interior/exterior florals. The final stop is 9 Lewis Street in Perth, a Greek Revival-style workers cottage by the river. Built in 1900, the space is decorated with family heirlooms, antiques and Middle Eastern artifacts. It features original floors and features paired with modern updates. Providing décor and interior/exterior floral designs for this home will be Hidden Garden Floral Designs. “We have some wonderful local florists and decorators returning this year, as well as some new ones that I’m sure will continue to surprise and enchant,” Morrow commented. An extra feature on this year’s tour will be the addition of an antique sleigh in the front yard of the Miller heritage home, located on Highway 7, east of Perth. Crafted by the well-known sleigh manufacturer, Munro and McIntosh company of Alexandria, Ont., this particular model was used by the homeowner’s grandfather in the late 1800s. The owner plans to adorn the sleigh with sheepskin rugs and a Christmas tree

Introducing the directors of Mississippi Mudds’ ‘Anne of Green Gables – The Musical’ Both the book and musical of Anne of Green Gables hold a special place in our country’s collective heart and mind. But as this special Canada 150 year draws to a close, fans of the adventures of Anne, Gilbert, Mathew and Marilla don’t have to visit Prince Edward Island to see Anne of Green Gables — The Musical because Carleton Place’s own Mississippi Mudds are launching a production of the beloved show at the Carleton Place Town Hall between Nov. 24-26 and Dec. 1-3. The play, which premiered in 1968, holds the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest, continually running musical and together with joyous, toe-tapping music and an engaging story, Anne is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. The show’s co-directors (and kindred spirits in real life), Patti and Jon Lockhart, can’t wait to present this story that has means so much to them to local audiences. But we wondered who are the Lockharts and what attracted them to bring this musical to local audiences? In addition to their involvement with theatre, both have a strong connection to Prince Edward Island — Jon because that’s where his family is from, and Patti because she had a fascination with the character of Anne of Green Gables from a very early age. Jon spent every summer of his
childhood on his family’s farm on the island and says, "There was lots of ‘scope for the imagination’ for my siblings, cousins and I on our summer vacations exploring the island's famous red dirt roads and of course, eating lots of Cow’s ice cream." For Patti, Lucy Maud Montgomery’s book was an immediate hit from a very early age and Prince Edward Island quickly became a “must see” in terms of a vacation destination. "My fascination with this story didn't go unnoticed by my parents," said Patti. "Prince Edward Island was somewhere I really wanted to experience and so when I was 10, my mom and dad surprised me with a visit to P.E.I. was a dream come true to get to Cavendish and see all the places mentioned in the book and then of course, they took me to Charlottetown to see Anne of Green Gables — The Musical. Nothing could have been more inspiring and magical for a little girl who loved everything about Anne. I remembered every bit of it for many years." In addition to her fascination with Anne, Patti was a “theatre kid” and was involved at an early age with her hometown of Bowmanville's local drama club. It was here that she fell in love with the “smell of the grease paint and the roar of the crowd,” which eventually led to her to pursue a theatre degree from the University of

Patti and Jon Lockhart are the directors of the Mississippi Mudds production of Anne of Green Gables - The Musical. Ottawa. She’s had roles both onstage and backstage in live theatre since graduating. After moving to Almonte with Jon and their two children, six years ago, she found herself auditioning for the Mudds' production of Noises Off. Audiences will remember her other comedic turns in Fox on the Fairway and last year's Mary Poppins. Jon Lockhart is no stranger to Ottawa's theatre scene either. His path to the theatre world began through
busking with a high school friend and forming the popular act The Cow Guys. For more than 20 years, he has performed everywhere from Parliament Hill to Belgium, to the Maritimes, to Singapore. Jon has a master's degree in theatre from the University of Toronto and is now the technical director of Ottawa University’s theatre department. He works on a large range of shows each year as well as teaching technical theatre courses. Everyone involved with the show has been busy with rehearsals, memorizing lines and getting the songs just right over the last few months. Singing, acting and dancing across the stage is one of the most talented casts the Mudds has ever seen. "We think audiences are going to be blown away by the young cast — they're truly exceptional," said Jon. "Some have grown up with the Mudds and will be familiar to our audiences, like Callum Leroy, who plays Gilbert, and then there are those making their stage debuts as a Mudd, like Cameron Hunter, who plays Anne. So the energy levels are pretty high right now." “And of course, alongside this bunch of bubbling, energetic youth are a strong, spirited and talented group of veteran actors and singers like Chris Jones, who plays Matthew, and Michele Eno, who plays Marilla, who will be familiar to Mudds audiences. Together, they make one pow-
erhouse cast that will be sure to blow you away," added Patti. The Mudds' production of Anne of Green Gables — The Musical is the perfect way for people of all ages to complete a busy year of sesquicentennial celebrations. In this day and age of stress and turmoil, the musical offers audiences a fun and delightful escape. "We're so proud to be working alongside this fantastic cast and crew and excited too as our kids are following in their parents' footsteps. So we’ll be watching every performance not only with our directors' hats on, but with our proud parent hats' too," said Patti. "And if you haven't read the book, seen the TV series or movie ... that's OK. You'll be immediately drawn into the rich story and characters created at the turn of the 20th century by Lucy Maud Montgomery," added Jon. Anne's innocent world of beauty and imagination will be brought to life for audiences between Nov. 24-26 and Dec. 1-3 at the Carleton Place Town Hall. Make plans to bring your family, bosom chums and kindred spirits for two hours of imagination, smiles and song. Tickets are available at the Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce visitor centre (170 Bridge St., 613-257-1976. Submitted by Lori Kay, Mississippi Mudds

REAL serves the region of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville, as well as parts of Frontenac, with this energy program. To qualify, you must have an energy audit completed by a registered energy adviser (REA), complete at least two energy upgrades and save 15 per cent or more of your energy use. These upgrades can be improvements such as insulation, air sealing and heating equipment replacement. Your REA will complete a comprehensive energy audit of your home and send you a report with recommendations of what will give you the most energy savings and what will qualify for the incentive grants. In addition to a complete report on the efficiency of your house, you will be given your home’s official Natural Resources Canada EnerGuide for Houses energy efficiency rating. When you have completed the energy upgrades to your home, the adviser will return to do a short confirmation audit of the upgrades completed, as well as all paperwork and submissions for your incentive grant. If your house was built earlier than 1985 and hasn’t had many energy upgrades, you may be able to achieve the required 15 per cent energy savings and possibly much
more. You will save on your energy bills, reduce your greenhouse gas emissions and be rewarded with a very nice incentive grant. Homes built after 1985 can usually benefit from energy efficiency measures as well, but due to improvements in the building code and home construction, they may not be able to reach the 15 per cent mark.
Our energy adviser can guide you on whether you will likely accomplish the necessary savings before an appointment is booked. To find out more about the Home Energy Conservation Program, see enbridgesmartsavings.com or drop by the REAL Deal Store to pick up a brochure. If you have further questions or wish to arrange an audit,

Salute young role models
I
t’s a way of acknowledging and giving credit to children and teenagers who are making a difference and are going above and beyond what society would expect from someone that age. Youngsters who raise money for a cause or who selflessly volunteer their time to help other people in the community are examples of the positive contributions that are worth celebrating. The Ontario Junior Citizen Award is once again seeking nominations for the annual youth recognition program. Ontario residents between the ages of six and 17 are eligible. There are several areas to which the provincial award applies; they include community service, acts of heroism, contributing to community while living with physical or psychological limitations, excelling in the arts or athletics and so-called “good kids” who are making life better for others. These deserving young people serve
as role models to their peers and also set an example from which many adults could learn. Up to 12 nominees from across the province will be selected, and the award recipients will be honoured at a special ceremony at Queen’s Park next spring. Each nominee will be presented with a certificate of recognition in the new year. Nomination forms are available at ocna.org/juniorcitizen. Supporting documentation, that includes at least two testimonials from individuals other than the nominator, are required. The nomination must also include the consent of a nominee’s parent or guardian, and the deadline for 2017 submissions is Nov. 30. The junior citizen awards program dates back to the early 1980s and is coordinated by the Ontario Community Newspapers Association, to which we belong. The awards are sponsored by TD Bank Group.
Much work was done to keep log house warm during long winter months Watching Mother get the house ready for the cold blasts of winter, told me that soon the fields would be blanketed with snow as far as the eye could see, and a path would lead us to the barns and the pump in the yard. The long underwear and navy blue fleece-lined bloomers would be ready to replace the flour bag underpants we wore at other times in the year. But Mother, after coming from New York City, to a log house with no amenities, soon found out it took more than the heat from the Findlay Oval to keep the house warm during the long Renfrew county winters. First, she took the rag bag from behind the kitchen door, cut long strips from ragged un-

derwear no longer fit to wear, or wool socks beyond repair, and laid everything out on the kitchen table. Then with a kitchen knife, she stuffed every window frame in the kitchen, so that not a breath of air could come in, while preventing heat from going out. When she finished, the window looked like it had been wrapped for Christmas, framed in every colour in the rainbow. Our bed sheets would be replaced with flannelette, which I thought were more than a step up from the four flour bags sewn together to cover our feather mattresses and separate us from the tickings on top. They came from Eaton’s catalogue, and apart from their warmth, I loved the wide co-

before we crawled into bed, Mother would put the hot bricks in our beds to take away the chill that never seemed to leave the upstairs of our old log house. Sometime through the night, and I could never
catch her at it, my sister Audrey with whom I shared the bed, would remove the bricks when they had lost their heat, and in the morning I would see them stacked at the stair step to be taken back down to the
kitchen. And when it was obvious that winter was here to stay, the parlour, the smallest room in the house, would be closed off. See MARY page 10

Mother would bring in from the summer kitchen the same four bricks that had been stacked out there since spring, and they would be put on the back of the cook stove after supper had been cleared away so that by the time we went upstairs to bed, they would be hot...too hot to handle, so would be wrapped in newspaper and then in a towel.

The Studio Theatre in Perth is getting set to present the classic, A Christmas Story. Above, the cast gathers for a group photo. In front, from left: Cain Elliott, Hunter Rigby, Anthony Nelson and James Graham. Second row, from left: Jerry Logan, Maeve Elliott (standing), Sam Brown, Addison Brown and Carell Allen. Standing far right is Deborah Ward. Missing is character actor Grey Masson.
Studio Theatre brings beloved classic A Christmas Story to life Nov. 30 to Dec. 10 Try this: Mention A Christmas Story to a few friends, then stand back and watch the reaction. Guaranteed, eyes will widen, smiles will appear, and you’ll hear “I love that show!!” For millions of people, a holiday viewing of A Christmas Story is a family tradition. There’s actually an American TV network that has been airing “24 Hours of A Christmas Story” – that’s 12 consecutive showings of the film – each Christmas since 1997. So what is it about this story of Ralphie and his yearning for a Red Ryder BB gun (you know, “the Carbine Action one, the 200-shot model with a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time”) that strikes such a cord? It’s a simple story about dreams, those special Christmas dreams we all had as kids, so timeless, so charming, and so beautifully rendered by the story’s creator, Jean Shepherd. Just in time for this year’s Christmas dreams, the stage version of A Christmas Story premieres at the Studio Theatre on Nov. 30, adapted by Philip Grecian from Jean Shepherd’s enduring stories about his Midwest childhood. Patricia Parry, director of the Studio Theatre’s production, has seen the way people react to this muchloved story, and she’s thrilled to be able to bring it to Perth. “I’ve met so many people who watch the movie year after year, and know the story of Ralphie and his Red Ryder BB gun inside and out” she says. “The play is very faithful to the film; when Philip Grecian adapted Jean
Shepherd’s story for the stage he knew he had to retain all the things people love about it. His script is simply wonderful.” Don’t think for a moment that if you’re not familiar with the movie you won’t enjoy the play. This is a story that anyone who was a kid will relate to: Ralphie Parker wants a Red Ryder BB gun so badly he can taste it. And although everybody – his parents, his teacher, and even the department store Santa Claus – has told him he’ll “put his eye out with that thing” he hopes against hope that he’ll find it under the tree on Christmas morning. Will his dream come true? We can’t help wishing fervently, for Ralphie’s sake, that it will. Along the way there are schoolyard bullies, pink bunny suits, family squabbles, finicky furnaces, dog-scarfed turkeys, and all the makings of a well-rounded, family friendly comedy, culminating in, you bet, a happy ending. Director Parry has assembled a great cast to tell this beloved story, with ages ranging from four to the 60s. Sam Brown plays young Ralphie, Carell Allen is his mother, and veteran character actor Grey Masson plays grown up Ralph. Well-known local actor Jerry Logan plays “The Old Man” (young Ralphie’s father), and Deb Ward is Miss Shields, Ralphie’s teacher. Jamie Graham plays Schwartz, Hunter Rigby is Flick, Addison Brown is Helen, Maeve Elliot plays Esther Jane, and Caine Elliot and Anthony Nelson share the role of Randy, Ralphie’s
younger brother. Lots of young talent eager to bring a great story to the stage, in a play that everyone will enjoy. Behind the scenes, Penny Silberhorn is stage manager, ably assisted by Annie Mulligan; Reiner Silberhorn is set designer and builder; Paula Batt handles props, Mike Ward, lighting, Julia Egener is the show’s costumer, and Isabel Joyce is the producer. A Christmas Story premieres at the Studio Theatre Nov. 30 for seven performances, Nov. 30, Dec. 1 and 8 at 7:30 p.m. and Dec. 2, 3, 9 and 10 at 2 p.m. (Please note: For this production, both Saturday shows (Dec. 2 and 9) are 2 p.m. matinees only.) Advance tickets are $24, and are now available exclusively at Tickets Please in the Matheson House Museum Visitor Centre, 11 Gore St. E. (613 4856434; ticketsplease.ca) which accepts in-store, phone, online and credit card purchases. Tickets are $24 at the Studio Theatre box office on show nights. There is a special children’s advance ticket price of just $10 for kids under 12. Rush tickets for students with ID are just $10 at the door, subject to availability. Attend opening night and save $5. Remember Perth’s Santa Claus Parade, Saturday, Dec. 2 starting at 5 p.m.! If you’re already a fan of A Christmas Story, you’ll enjoy the Studio Theatre’s fresh take on a classic. Visit studiotheatreperth.com for full details. Submitted by Paul Joyce for the Studio Theatre

OPP cautions motorists – don’t veer for deer In an effort to minimize the chances of being involved in a collision with deer, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are offering motorists the following tips: • Be especially attentive from sunset to midnight and during the hours shortly before and after sunrise. Remember – deer seldom run alone. If you see one deer,

A braided rug would be rolled and placed on the floor tight to the door to keep the precious heat in the kitchen. The parlour would only be opened if it was our turn to host the Saturday night party, when hopefully enough heat from the kitchen would warm it up before neighbours moved in to play euchre. With no foundation under the house, the floors were always cold and drafty. Aunt Bertha, our next door neighbour showed Mother how to make simple felt slippers, which were really only two pieces of felt held together with blanketstitching, but helped a little to keep our feet warm. But when we sat around the old pine table
others may be nearby. • When driving at night, use high beam headlights when there is no oncoming traffic. • Slow down and blow your horn with one long blast to frighten the deer away. • Brake firmly when you notice a deer in or near your path, but stay in your lane.
• Always wear your seat belt. Most people who are injured in car-deer collisions were not wearing their seat belt. • Don’t rely on devices such as deer whistles, deer fences and reflectors to deter deer. • Slow down, stay in control and stay alert. Submitted by the OPP
at night, we each had our own cushion to put under our feet as well. Father, of course, never complained about the cold house. At night he sat in the rocking chair by the stove, with his feet on the oven door. His long combination underwear served as his pyjamas, and hand-knit socks from Mrs. Beam left his feet only when Mother forcibly removed them from his feet to add them to the Monday wash. When the serious blasts of winter finally came to Northcote, the pine table, which at other times sat in front of the window looking out to the grape arbour, was moved out from that wall, more into the middle of the kitchen when we had our meals, or after supper when we sat around it in-

I knew before he went to bed, Father would stoke the Findlay Oval, wait for it to catch so we wouldn’t have a flu fire, and as winter closed in around us, everything that could be done, had been done to help us through the long and bitterly cold winters of Renfrew County.

From page 8
This is a good question. The answer is that throughout the entire span of the Harper government, I was the Deputy Leader of the government in the House of Commons (usually called “Deputy House
Leader”). All members of the House leadership team (Whip, Deputy Whip, House Leader, Deputy House Leader) are expected, as a condition of the job, to vote with the government on all items of government-initiated business.
I know of no exceptions to this practice at any point in the history of Canada or of any other Commonwealth parliament. Scott Reid MP Lanark-FrontenacKingston
MANAGING YOUR MONEY November 27, 2017
Financial planning for the modern family It was once a given that spouses would retire at around the same time. Couples would then set off for months of travel or could at least spend more time together. Having two people retire at the same time also simplified financial planning – advisors could factor in two pensions, tax plan around the withdrawals of two RRSPs and more.
own. They’re also providing support and caregiving for James’ elderly parents and the couple will likely need to do the same for Rachel’s parents in the years to come.
Now, though, many people are marrying spouses who are much younger than them. One might be nearly ready for retirement while the other still has two decades to go. That can complicate a couple’s financial picture, says Jane Olshewski, Manager of Financial Planning Programs for Investors Group: “There are so many more things to consider. For instance, they’ll need help figuring out how much to save for their respective retirements. If they choose to stop working at the same time, they will need a considerable nest egg to fund the younger spouses’ golden years. If one spouse keeps working, the one who retires may not need to withdraw as much from their RRSP or RRIF.”
In addition to financial issues, age-diverse couples have decisions to make about life planning issues. “Should couples in this situation retire at the same time?” asks Olshewski. “A younger spouse may want to retire and spend some time with the older spouse and do all the things that couples enjoy in retirement while both are still healthy. But the younger spouse may feel they have more to accomplish in their career and aren’t ready for retirement at an earlier age.”
Children from previous marriages can also add complications. If you want to leave an inheritance to your children, you may need to do some more intensive estate planning to ensure you’re not disinheriting them by leaving your assets to your younger spouse. Those are just a couple of retirement planning dilemmas facing couples with significant age gaps -- and there are others. Calgary’s Rachel Johnson, 45 and James Matias, 66 have six children between them – three from Matias’ first marriage and three of their
As well, because Matias is so much older, Johnson may be required to provide support and care for an aging husband down the road.
“Each couple must look at their specific situation and decide on a life plan that works for them,” says Olshewski. “And be supported by a financial plan that will get them where they want to go – together.” Regardless of your age, your professional advisor can help make that happen – for you and your partner.

Learn how a couple’s love for Italy led to tour company startup Nov. 20 in Perth Following one’s heart can be a risky business. Fortunately, the instincts of Canadians Lisa Grassi-Blais and Jake Rupert led them joyfully to a world of spectacular mountains, fantastic beaches, verdant valleys, High Plains, and seemingly endless olive groves and vineyards. The couple will be in Perth on Nov. 20 to describe their transformation from careertrack professionals in Ottawa, to inn and tour company owners in central Italy. Family ties to the Abruzzo region of Italy were a strong factor in their decision to relocate. Lisa’s grandfather had immigrated to Canada in 1906 from the village of San Sebastiano and they’d been able to connect with numerous relatives during visits to the region. The Abruzzese people they met were invariably friendly, funloving and ready to be helpful and the region was stunningly beautiful. Lisa and Jake were tourists during their early trips to Italy, but over time the idea of immigrating and setting up a tourism business began to
take hold. Once they had the mindset of prospective property owners, the real work began — developing a startup budget, researching villas for sale, looking at tax implications, getting pension questions answered, examining immigration rules, and having their Ottawa house appraised. They had a budget of roughly $300,000 with which to establish a tour company based in a villa that would provide weeklong vacations to small groups of six to eight guests. The budget included any needed renovations, furniture, and vehicles. The couple eventually bought a rundown, partially renovated villa that “oozed Italian charm,” which they restored over five years to serve as inn and anchor for their tour company. Historic Villa D'Abruzzo has six bathrooms, a huge dining room, lots of outdoor space, an extra kitchen, and great views. The property is located on the outskirts of Torre de Passeri, a town in the heart of the Pescara Valley, 10 minutes from the moun-
tains, 30 minutes from the Adriatic Coast and 90 minutes east of Rome. Amazing Abruzzo Tours has now been in operation since April 2016, offering a range of services from simple bed and breakfast accommodations to weeklong, allinclusive packages that include all transportation, accommodation, meals, and day trips. Details and a sample tour can be found at http://www.amazingabruzzotours.com/options/. As we Canadians ease into winter, it’s hard not to be smitten by this tale of sundrenched adventure. Please join us on Monday, Nov. 20 at the Perth Royal Canadian Legion (26 Beckwith St. E., Perth, Ont. K7H 1B5), starting promptly at 7 p.m., to hear Lisa and Jake’s account of their bold move to Italy. The talk is free, presented by the Perth & District chapter of the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW).

Forgotten First World War battle memorialized in Mountain On Saturday my wife and I were among the large crowd that attended Remembrance Day ceremonies in Carleton Place, where we live. I have strong personal feelings about the importance of Nov. 11. I never miss the annual opportunity to pay respects to our veterans and especially those who gave their lives fighting for Canada. I was impressed by the size of the crowd. Weekends are sometimes more challenging in terms of attracting people because school classes, who usually attend in large numbers, are not represented on weekends. However it seems more and more families are focused on Remembrance Day now and that’s a very good thing. This is certainly not the first time I have expressed my opinion on this related subject. But this week I want to reiterate that I do not support the idea of making Remembrance Day a national holiday in Canada. The word “holiday” should not be attached to such a solemn occasion. I’m concerned that far too many people would suddenly view this very important day as simply another day off. I realize that my own strong interest in this subject – in the wars of the 20th century in particular – isn’t on most people’s radar. I would obviously like to see that change. To me the best way forward is to make the teaching of Canada’s important war history a compulsory subject in
our schools. That aside I will continue to do my small part by spotlighting certain battles and Canada’s part in them. We are now in the final year of the First World War Centennial. The war began July 28, 1914 and ended with the armistice on Nov. 11, 1918. That means Remembrance Day 2018 will be the 100th anniversary of the armistice, which elevates the importance of that particular day. With respect to Canada’s involvement in the First World War, have you ever heard of the Battle of Hill 70? I think you can be forgiven if you haven’t. Until recently I was only somewhat familiar with the First World War battle which, on closer examination, was very important in Canada’s military history. The fighting which occurred 100 years ago this summer marked the first time the Canadian Corps was under the sole direction of a Canadian commander, Lieutenant General Arthur Currie, in a Canadian-planned mission. Like many Great War battles you need a topographic map to find exactly where Hill 70 is located. The number denotes the hill’s height above sea level. The location is on the edge of the city of Lens in northern France. From Aug. 15-25, 1917 it was the scene of bloody fighting between four divisions of the attacking Canadian Corps and five divisions of the
Reflections By Jeff maguire
German 6th Army. The Germans occupied the strategic hill and the town itself. Major casualties The Canadians were successful, not only in seizing the hill but also in defending it against not one, but 21, determined German counterattacks. The fighting cost Canadian troops nearly 9,000 casualties including 1,877 dead. The Germans suffered a staggering 25,000 casualties. Six Canadian soldiers were awarded the Victoria Cross (the British Empire’s highest military award) for their actions on Hill 70. This battle happened after the Canadian victory at Vimy Ridge in April 1917. Vimy and the bloody engagement at Passchendaele in Belgium (Third Battle of Ypres), which also occurred in 1917, overshadowed the significant fighting on Hill 70 the same year. Last week, in the lead-up to Remembrance Day, I found myself at
the only Canadian monument to the Battle of Hill 70. Until this year it was the only memorial in the world to the conflict. No, the monument isn’t in Ottawa (Canada’s capital) as you might expect. And it isn’t in one of our country’s three largest cities Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver either. Rather the memorial is located in a small community park in the hamlet of Mountain in southeastern Ontario. My brother Randy and his wife own and operate an orchard near Carp. A week ago Monday I accompanied my brother to an orchard in tiny Dundela in South Dundas Township where he had some business to do. Dundela is the birthplace of the famous McIntosh apple. On the way home I noticed signage pointing to the Hill 70 memorial which we dutifully followed. To our surprise we found an impressive tribute to those who fought and died during this often forgotten battle. The site has evolved over the years but planning for the park began in 1922 and a symbolic Hill 70 mound was officially dedicated 92 years ago this month, on Nov. 12, 1925. The site was expanded and reworked by the local Lions Club in 2012 with major financial assistance from the then Harper government. Over the course of a century
Mountain’s exact connection to the Battle of Hill 70 has been lost. It’s believed to be related to the fact that soldiers from Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry were killed or wounded during the fighting, something which had a major impact on Mountain and other surrounding communities. What is known is that for nearly 92 years the memorial in the community park was the only one of its kind anywhere. On April 8 this year, one day before the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge and four months prior to the Battle of Hill 70 Centennial, then Governor General David Johnston presided at the unveiling of a new monument at the actual site of the fighting in northern France. Finally this major battle is receiving more recognition. Still, it’s the people of tiny Mountain, Ontario and the larger community of North Dundas Township who deserve the most credit. On Aug. 27, in their memorial park, the residents of the community held a ceremony to mark the Battle of Hill 70 Centennial. Over the course of a century they have ensured the sacrifice made by 8,677 Canadians who were killed, wounded or went missing during the fighting aren’t forgotten.

horoscopes ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you may be tempted to tie up loose ends this week, but there is a lot to finish so expect things to take longer than you hoped. Focus only on one project at a time.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you are anxious to go on an adventure, but you simply can’t find time in your schedule. You may just have to make it happen by turning off your devices and heading out.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Conversations with others should be kept light and easy this week to avoid any drama, Sagittarius. Delving deeper into others’ lives is the furthest thing from your mind.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, your words and actions may not be matching up right now. This may be confusing to others. It may be better to just lead by example.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, even if you are sure that your perspective will win over the crowd, you have to accept there will be some who don’t agree with you. Be gracious and don’t step on any toes.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, are your achievements isolating you from others? You may have to let someone else get some of the glory this week, if only to show your vulnerable and accommodating side.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, things have been moving along quite easily for you and you are enjoying the respite. Take all the deep breaths you can during this period of recovery.
THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Time has been passing quite rapidly, Cancer. You may be feeling like you aren’t quite catching up to the clock. As long as some work is getting finished, you are completely fine.

Joyce Elaine Connerty
1930-2017 Mr. and Mrs. Jack Kelso Clark of Smiths Falls welcomed their seventh baby on August 6, 1930. Overjoyed, they would name her “Joyce Elaine”. Joyce followed the births of Doreen, William, Arnold, Bert, Jack, and Howard, all born when the family lived in Reid’s Mills, Ontario. (Bert and Jack passed away in early childhood as a result of the pneumonia they developed after falling down the well, together.) Reid’s Mills was the Clark family homestead, where they lived at the farm known as Killarney. Her mother was the sole heir of the Reality business created by her Smiths Falls real estate developer father, Alexander Stephens. As a result of his death, the Clark families’ new home was built at 103 William Street West. Joyce was born into a home that had two working parents. Her Father, “J.K.”, would continue his profession by being a gentleman farmer while managing the crew that maintained the Reality Business. With help from a foster child Ivy, Doreen and “Bill” would actively participate in the care of Joyce in childhood. Doreen, sixteen years older, would take Joyce to visit J.K.’s sister, Aunt Millie, out West when Joyce was six to visit and tour Vancouver. Joyce would always love to shop through magazine ads and newspapers, Canadian and American catalogues, and even late in life, on the Internet. Even as a young child, she had a keen sense of creativity using colour and fashion to demonstrate her personality and a love of stores! Joyce would attend Smiths Falls public schools, but it was in Grade Nine, at the former Rideau High School, that she blossomed. Always a very attractive raven haired “beauty” - and she would object to that description all her life - she was popular among students. She dated a couple of classmates before developing her first long term relationship with fellow student Jim Dolan. The Clark family cottage, Hi Ho, was a much loved retreat from the business world the Clark family engaged in in Smiths Falls. She would also spend quality time in the Trinity United Church, where among other things she would advance her leadership skills in the Canadian Girls in Training (CGIT). Working part time jobs in sales and totally delighted by the work at the Gemmell’s family Greenhouse, Joyce would indulge (forever!) in decorating with PINK FLOWERS. Her love of swimming would take her to being the town’s first lifeguard. But perhaps by spending too much time in social activities, Joyce would repeat Grade Thirteen at a finishing school, the Ontario Ladies College at Whitby. Joyce would follow the excellent example her Aunt Olive Clark had set when she had graduated Queen’s University in 1906. (Doreen and Ivy we’re also exposed to post secondary education). Joyce wanted to follow her Aunt and Mother to the teachers’ college at the University of Toronto. Joyce actually had started the teaching profession by regularly lining up her dolls and providing to them the lessons she had learned from early childhood. She wanted to teach high school, which required a degree. Therefore Joyce earned her Bachelor of Arts degree 1953 in English and Spanish from Queen’s University. Not at her funeral, was her beloved husband William Carlyle Connerty, Queen’s Bachelor of Applied Science, 1954. “Big Bill” had passed on March 25, 1990. They had met at Queen’s, and Bill proposed on their first date in 1950. The ensuing romance would take in two of the famous Queen’s Science Formals! Joyce would graduate and with her Teaching Certificate, would accept her first teaching job at Fisher Park High School in Ottawa; Bill would manage his third generation agricultural business in Jasper, named after the founder, Wm. Connerty and Son. Joyce would board in Ottawa for a year and begin following the career of then Fisher Park student Paul Anka. Returning to Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute, SFDCI, Joyce would teach the senior students English until her marriage to Bill, on June 29, 1957. At her wedding, ladies, wearing white, with pink Swiss Dot overlay, stood up for her. They included Maiden of Honour Eilene Gardner, lifelong friend Barb Hogg (Fraser), sister-in-law Willa Clark (Wood) and Arnold and Jean (Christie’s) daughters Jane and Elizabeth Clark. The couple went on a lovely two week Honeymoon trip to the Maritimes. They spent the rest of the summer months with Bill’s Mother, Jasper business woman Mable Connerty, at the family cottage at the Upper Rideau Ferry. Bill and Joyce would occupy the two story boathouse, a tradition that includes children and grandchildren to this day. Their life long romance continued with love of water, cottage and boats and all of this was more than installed in the future generations. Joyce and Bill would start their family the following April, with the birth of Tricia. Within the next year, they would anticipate the birth of Sue, in January 1960, by building their growing family’s home on Frost St., in Smiths Falls. Beautifully decorated, their home was filled with love, pets and fun! After the fire at the Connerty family’s Jasper Purina Mill in 1961 the young family would rally around their Dad as he built a new business in Fiber Glass tanks, Industrial Moulders. Joyce would return to teaching English at SFDCI, in 1962. “Little Bill” was born in 1963, followed by Betsy in 1965, with Joyce returning to teaching each time after a maternity leave. (This was all accomplished by her very competent management of the household alongside housekeeper Lydia Cline.) Significantly, Joyce would twice overcome disability leaves for the care of mental illness, while teaching with grace and matter of fact honesty. With the death of her Mom in 1972, Joyce would manage her share of the Clark family’s business and name her company Stephen’s Reality. With two family businesses in the household, teaching and lots of kids’ activities to manage, Joyce was busy until her retirement from the Lanark County Board of Education in 1985. Joyce had opted for early retirement to be able to work alongside her husband as Industrial Moulders and Stephen’s Reality morphed into Zontec Ltd. Zontec was a cutting edge ozone company dealing with the treatment of air and water with ozone technology. Retirement also brought the marriages of their children, Bill to Lynda Condie, and Betsy to Chris Simpson, in 1989. Unfortunately Big Bill’s life did not extend to the birth of Grandchildren. But Joyce excelled in her role as “Mom Mom” to Kenzie, Keisha and Teagan Simpson and Charlie and Harry Connerty. She was always more than willing to accommodate any request of her growing family, be it babysitting or that special Christmas toy. Her own children would all pursue Professional Post Education Programs and engage in challenging careers. Not surprising, her five Grandchildren are all in the process of gaining a Professional Post Education degree. Joyce passed away as she wanted: at home, with family, and not before she was ready. Just two days before her death she had informed her family that she was tired and ready to go to heaven. God was ready for her the morning of July 21, 2017. Joyce was waked at Blair and Son Funeral Home and interred at Wolford Cemetery in Easton’s Corners, at the family plot, alongside her husband and his family. Her Grandchildren carried the casket. Honourary Pallbearers included former students Hugh Colton and Brian Conlin, and family friends Billy Andress, Stirling Condie, Bob McCreary, and Jim Rowat. United Church Minister Christine Lowson kindly conducted a touching service, which included fond farewell speeches by Lynda Connerty, Leslie Row, Bill Connerty, Betsy Simpson and Rev. Doug Ross. A reception for family and friends followed back at Blair and Son Reception Centre. Joyce’s wish for pink flowers at her wake and charitable donations to her family’s challenges with Diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis and Arthritis, had been generously supported by the many whom had remembered her. She had passed days short of her 87th birthday and is terribly missed by her family. Mom Mom was always a LADY.

WILSON, Helen
May 11, 1926 - November 9, 2017 Unexpectedly, the evening of November 9th, after a long battle with many health issues, our dear sweet mother, grandmother, sister, sister-in-law, aunt and friend Helen Wilson passed away. She lived to a ripe old age of 91, but the fullness of her life does not lessen the emotional blow upon those of us who she has left behind - we love her dearly and miss her already. One of the few comforts that we draw at this time is that she did not pass away alone, or in a hospital, but at home with those who loved her. The day of her passing was the day before her wedding anniversary and we are confident that she is now spending her anniversary with her beloved Burt Wilson. Her living loved ones include: son Duane Wilson, daughter-in-law Millie Wilson, daughter Marjorie Wilson, son Jim Wilson, daughter-inlaw Ruthann Wilson, daughter Catherine Wilson, son-in-law Terry Swaine, son Rob Wilson, brother Hugh Baxter, sister-in-law Grace Baxter, brother Maxwell (Max) Baxter, many many grandchildren, many greatgrandchildren, great great-grandchildren and countless friends that she considered loved ones. Her loved ones that have gone before her include: the late Melvin Baxter (brother), the late Henry & Maxine Baxter (brother & sister-in-law), the late Ownie & Bubbles Baxter (brother & sister-in-law), the late Florence and Lloyd Baxter (sister & brother-in-law), the late Steve Orr (son-in-law), and the late Claudette Wilson (daughter-in-law). Helen was the daughter of Annie and Thomas Baxter of Tehkummah, Manitoulin Island, Ontario. She was an exceptional woman with a heart for her family, a dignity and grace that is rare, and the strength, wisdom, fortitude, kindness and caring of a true Matriarch. Friends may join the family during visitation at the Pilon Family Funeral Home and Chapel Ltd., 50 John Street North, Arnprior (613-623-5194) on Tuesday evening, November 14th from 6 to 7:45 p.m. A Celebration of Life Service will be conducted in the Pilon Family Chapel on Tuesday evening at 8 o’clock.

IN MEMORIAM
Pittman - In loving memory of my dear husband Ellwood, who passed away five years ago November 12th, 2012. I remember the day that God took you and will ‘till the end of time. We made vows together until death do us part, but the day God took you from me, my entire world fell apart. Memories of happy years when we were together, the joy’s; the tears; the love and the fears will always stay with me. When I’m sad; lonely and everything seems to go wrong, I hear you whisper, “Cheer up and carry on!” Missing and remembering you every day Your wife, Hilda

HANNAFORD, Richard Harold Owen November 8, 1997 Today recalls the memory Of a loved one gone to rest, And those who think of him today Are those who loved him best. The flowers we lay upon his grave May wither and decay, But the love for him who lies beneath Will never fade away. Always remembered Barbara Anne & Billy & Family IN MEMORIAM
IN MEMORIAM
MCPARLAND, Thomas. E In loving memory of a dear Father, Grandfather who passed away 1 year ago November 15, 2016. This month comes back with sad regret, it brings back a day we won’t forget. You fell asleep without saying goodbye, but our memories of you will never die. We miss you more than anyone knows, as each day passes our emptiness grows. The tears we shed will wipe away, but the ache in our hearts will always stay. You left us quietly, your thoughts unknown, with treasured memories we’re proud to own. Life on the farm has changed for us as you know, but we will keep the legacy of your love alive and grow. Always loved Lyle, Carrie, Thomas, Dyllan and Owen

For almost 90 years, a Smiths Falls veteran from the First World War lay at rest within the Wood Mausoleum without a grave marker to identify his service. But that has changed thanks to the dedication and detective work of local history and genealogy buffs – Tony Humphrey, chair of the Wood Cemetery Committee, and Ron Lyon, volunteer historian and member of the Lanark County Genealogical Society. On Nov. 12, a special service was held at the Wood Cemetery and Mausoleum to honour a decorated First World War veteran, Lt. Donald J. Wood – grandson of Alexander Wood of the famed Frost and Wood – who died of his war injuries in October 1929. In 1929, Donald received a full military funeral but his final resting place received no identification and made the mission to get him a proper tombstone recognizing his military service difficult. Donald was entombed in the mausoleum – where he still remains today – and never had an official veteran’s headstone until this October. Donald went to war as a private and came back as a lieutenant – a rarity in those days. “He was quite a guy,” said Humphrey. Donald enlisted in 1914 as a private and was promoted to be an officer for his bravery in the field. He was sent back for training as an officer in Canada. After training, Donald was sent back to Flanders as an officer and was

the mall too, as Wiseman is busy filling the vacant spaces. “Our tenants are really excited about what’s been happening,” he said. The mall will feature a fitness and medical centre, meeting hall, professional office space and retail stores. “It’s a really exciting time right now, seeing this project coming together,” Wiseman said. “I started my career in this mall as a clerk at the A&P, and then opened the first Joggers store here, and to be back here now … I’ve come full circle.” Wiseman said he is also thankful and appreciative to the stores that stayed put during the mall’s turbulent times, like the driver examination centre and RX Pharmacy, that started last year with the closure and possible demolition notification by the mall owner at that time, RioCan. That's when Chris Saumure came along and purchased the property and they've been working hard to fill it ever since. “We’re really thankful for the stores that stayed, like Food Basics and the Dentistry office – which is expanding,” he said. “They stayed with us and now they’re seeing the benefits of it all come together.” Settlers Ridge Centre has welcomed the Hawk’s Nest Café and the Artisan Loft just this summer. Then came the 4 Degrees Brewing Company, which opened for business on Friday, Nov. 10 from noon to 9 p.m. A new tenant to come “hopefully by March” will be a Buck or Two Plus to be located where Staples was in the building. There is also North American Transport Driving Academy set up at the north entrance on the left side of the going into the mall. Natatie Gemmell’s Functional Performance Fitness is currently under construction set to open in January where the old dollar store was situated. “Friday night Rotary Bingo will also be coming into the old Blue Notes store, and we’ve got the stage and lights in there now,” he said.
“That’s where the old Joggers store was. Rotary will have enough space for 20 to 40 more people and when they’re not using the space the room will become a meeting hall. So that will be available for rentals.” Mike’s Custom Creations is also a new tenant and inside Mike Seward creates his own kids’ toys – handmade, custom designs. “We’re working with a couple others to fill more spaces in January,” Wiseman said. He noted that he has been in constant talks with possible tenants, reaching some 280 prospects. “There is a lot more that I can’t comment on at this time, but that’s the exciting part,” Wiseman said with a laugh. “We have some longterm plans for the old Target spot, but again, it’s not something I am ready to comment on.” But something exciting that he can talk about is the holiday schedule. “Yes, Santa will be coming back to the mall,” he said. “We’re going to have him set up in a store space for Friday and Saturdays through December, and possibly later this month.” That includes photos and visits with Santa himself – just like in the old days. And Christine Bles and Jacqui Stanzel are working on a special Christmas holiday market Nov. 25 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. – right down the middle of the mall, and there will be vendors galore. The Mrs. Claus’ Holiday Market is in support of the Salvation Army Angel Tree program. Bles said it was an opportunity to do something for the children of the community. “We’re still looking for vendors, so if anyone out there wants to take part, just give us a call.” Stanzel can be reached at 613-656-3591 or Bles at 613-223-9256. As for the official grand opening of the new Settlers Ridge Centre, Wiseman said they are aiming for a big day soon, but nothing has been officially set. “We want to have a ribbon cutting with the mayor and some musical entertainment, the whole bit,” he said. Stay tuned.

Notice of Public Open House Beckwith Street Redevelopment Plan

then promoted again to the lieutenant rank. “You know where lieutenants come from?” asked Lyon. “They don’t come from privates unless you’re spectacular – he is. “This is an amazing story that Donald Wood went to war as a private and came back as a lieutenant.” The process of identifying the solider began about three years ago, after Humphrey had discovered the lock on the mausoleum had been broken. Humphrey became the lead on the Wood Cemetery Committee – a group of five individuals tasked with the upkeep and revival of the historic cemetery including Lyon, Humphrey, Coun. Dawn Quinn, Peter Maddock and Dave Pringle. Since then, he and others have been trying to identify who was laid to rest in the Wood Cemetery and Mausoleum. “We were quite surprised when we found how many people were there,” said Humphrey. In total, the group has identified about 23 individuals – including 11 in the mausoleum, one of them being the First World War solider, Donald. To get the tombstone for Donald through the Veterans Affairs Canada Funeral and Burial Program, administered by the Last Post Fund, a non-profit organization that has served veterans since 1909. The program ensures that eligible veterans receive dignified funeral and burial services, there had to be proof that he was laid to rest there. Lyon explained that originally the Last Post Fund said they wanted to see the plaques as proof he was buried in the vault – but there were no plaques to identify the bodies within the mausoleum. “There are two tablets which look like windows on the outside of the mausoleum which tell you who was buried there,” said Lyon. “For some reason, they didn’t re-engrave the solider there. That’s a lot of the investigation.” But thanks to his detective work and knack for genealogical research, Lyon was able to find a lengthy obituary for Donald from the Record News, and solider records from Library and Archives Canada, which indicated that he was laid to rest in his family’s vault in Smiths Falls. “We had to have proven that he was actually in there,” said Humphrey. “That (obituary) was the smoking gun – found by Ron (Lyon). He’s the detective.” With the obituary and the veteran service card, the Last Post Fund was satisfied. “It’s taken us three years to prove our case to the Last Post Fund,” said Lyon. “And about a year ago the Last Post agreed to give us a free tax payers tombstone for Donald R. Wood. And that’s the tombstone was installed in October in front of the mausoleum.” In October, Campbell Monuments out of Belleville came to install the headstone which reads: Donald R. Wood Lieutenant 21 Battn CEF 1896-1929 Entombed in the Wood Mau-
Thursday, November 23, 2017 6:00pm to 8:00pm Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre 71 Cornelia Street Youth Arena Hall (Upstairs) The Town of Smiths Falls has initiated the Beckwith Street Redevelopment Plan that includes the preparation of a streetscape functional design for the renewal of Beckwith Street in the downtown core. The study area includes Beckwith Street between Elmsley Street and Chambers Street as shown on the key map below. The renewal of Beckwith Street will implement the vision established in the 2013 Council-approved Downtown Revitalization and Waterfront Integration Plan, which provides design guidance for the reconstruction of Beckwith Street. The Beckwith Street Redevelopment Plan will address the various demands of the street: • Determine the street’s lane arrangement, including turn lanes; • Determine the on-street parking arrangement; • Determine sidewalk and crosswalk widths and accessibility provisions;

A close-up photo of the headstone for Lt. Donald R. Wood, a First World War veteran entombed in the Wood Mausoleum. A service was held in his honour on Sunday, Nov. 12. soleum. The modern-day service on Nov. 12 – complete with a bugler who played The Last Post – was attended by Rideau Lakes Mayor Ron Holman, Smiths Falls Royal Canadian Legion Colour Guard, Cemetery Committee Chair Tony Humphrey, Smiths Falls Gordon Pipe Major Steve Brooke, Bugler A. J. Benoit and Smiths Falls Coun. Dawn Quinn. Humphrey said being able to recognize Donald’s service means a lot. “He was a decorated soldier, there was no monument to him,” he said. “To have that is important.” Humphrey is still uncertain about where he is actually located within the vault. The Smiths Falls District Historical Society will be hosting Humphrey and Lyon for a meeting to discuss both private cemeteries on Thursday, Nov. 23 at 7 p.m. at Heritage House Museum. Admission is $5 per person. At the talk Humphrey and Lyon will review the changes that have ensued at the final resting place of Smiths Falls businessman Alexander Wood and his family. For many years this unique private burial ground had been abandoned and thanks to volunteer efforts, this cemetery and the stories of its residents will not be forgotten. A special focus will also remember Donald Wood.
• Determine cycling provisions including bicycle parking; • Understand, at a basic level, the below-grade services and utilities that might inform street designs; • Determine locations for potential public places and enhanced streetscape areas; and • Develop potential streetscape themes and directions. An Open House is being held on November 23 to review and discuss the draft plans for Beckwith Street with residents and solicit feedback. Interested persons can provide comments throughout the study process. Any comments received, with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record. Information about the study is also available on the Town’s website. For further information or to provide comments, please contact: W. Troy Dunlop, C.E.T.

ot even two months married and already I’m sleeping on the couch. OK, so it’s not as bad as all that sounds. It really is wedded bliss. (Insert smiley face.) Sweet Baby had back surgery last week, and after just two nights in the Perth hospital, he was home. It’s been a whirlwind to say the least. Mom had a knee replacement recently, and between her and Sweet Baby, I’m about ready for another vacation … or the loony bin. Or a vacation at the loony bin? Mom’s not doing so great with her knee. I spent a week with her when she was released from the hospital and she was not a very good patient. So I shipped her off to my brother and RN sister-in-law’s place for a week, where apparently she was a lot better patient. She was home just last week, and on her own as I was back to work, but she’s still in a lot of pain and refuses to get hooked on opioids. Can’t blame her there, but she might have to go visit Tweed for something to relieve the pain. It’s been a month since the knee replacement, but she says she’s not doing her other one. It’s got to be bad for her to say that! Then Sweet Baby’s wonky back has been giving him grief for some 30 years since a bad car accident left him with some painful issues. Stubborn as a Newfie mule, his sister says, he has been working through it and dealing with his pain the best way he can. He’s had sciatic issues for as long I’ve known him and I’ve seen him sleep in bed, on the couch, on the coffee table, sprawled half on and half off the couch and coffee table ... at the same time. So imagine his relief when after several trips to his doctor and opioid prescriptions later, he finally got in to see Dr. Anderson in Perth. He put Sweet Baby at ease with his gentle demeanor and kindness, and answered all my incessant questions. Within six months, Sweet Baby was ready for a discectomy Nov. 9. I wasn’t though. He wasn’t one bit nervous – I was two bits nervous. I couldn’t be a surgeon. Nerves of steel these people have. It was a good thing I had a hundred things to do to keep my mind off him and the surgery. I headed home to write a story about the cancer fundraiser held at the mall in Smiths Falls by Christine Bles, and then I managed to tag Pat Wiseman, the GM at the mall and wrote another story about
LAURIE WEIR Weir View the change of the mall’s name to the new Settlers Ridge Centre. That afternoon, I headed back to Perth and covered the LCIAA senior girls’ basketball finals at PDCI, who captured a championship over the RedHawks of SFDCI. I timed it perfectly, as I went back to the hospital and was relieved to be told that Sweet Baby had just been wheeled into recovery. I could finally breathe. I saw him briefly as Dr. Anderson said he had come through with no complications as he was strong and healthy and he’d be up and at it in no time. The good doctor then ushered me out of recovery, so Sweet Baby could wake up a bit more. Soon, he was in his room and hurling up his supper. Ah, beautiful. He’s on the mend. I only spent a couple hours with him Thursday night before making my way back home – but not before hitting the Joyce Brennan Award presentation at the Heritage House Museum in Smiths Falls. Then I had to make a quick trip to Walmart to get hubby some comfy clothing. Friday, I was back at the hospital, and there he was, sitting up, bright eyed and bushy-tailed. He looked wonderful. We had a nice long visit, but I knew he was tired and needed his rest. So I booked it to Industry Fitness for another session with PT Amber who put me through my paces with an exploding leg day. Then I got home and walked my dog, who had been feeling neglected a bit, I’m sure. On my way back into town, I visited with the folks at 4 Degrees Brewing and wrote up another story about their opening at the Settlers Ridge Centre on Friday, Nov. 10. Then it was off to the Laundromat to get caught up on neglected laundry for the past two weeks. I was all set to head back to Perth for a visit Friday night, take in the Blue Wings and hit the Smiths Falls Bears on the way home, but my tank was running on Empty. I crashed on the bed after putting the laundry away when Sweet Baby called.

SFDCI Restless Red Hawk Café BY ISABELLE GRAY
On Oct. 26, 2017, Smiths Falls District High School (SFDCI) held another Restless Red Hawk Café. SFDCI teacher Blake Seward is in charge of setting up and running these events, which generally occur every second Thursday and are located either on the school’s patio, in the forum or in the cafetorium. Hospitality teacher Jeff Burns and his students, create the menu for each café, prepare the food and serve it to the students and community members in attendance. Every café raises a different amount of money ($250 being the average amount) and all proceeds go to the school’s hospitality de-
partment. The café’s set is designed by Rebecca Soudant’s art class, and the technology class and construction class help with building whatever is needed in terms of décor. Music teacher, Mr. Baker, had his students perform at the Oct 26 café and they will likely perform again in the future. Well-known local performers have shared their time and talents for a few of the cafes and the response from the public has been very positive. When a Red Hawk Café begins, students walk into the cafeteria and
find a place to sit and once seated, are waited on by Chef Burns’ hospitality students. Recently, attendees had a choice of either apple crisp or a pumpkin cheesecake and it should be noted that all items are homemade. “When we hold these cafes, we know that the food that is being served is homemade and healthy; half the time it is from our garden,” reports Seward. SFDCI was unable to hold their scheduled event on Nov. 9 due to other events being held within the school, however we would like to welcome the public to the next annual Redhawk Café being held on Nov. 16 from 12 p.m. - 2. p.m. Isabelle Gray is an SFDCI student.

“I’m coming home tomorrow!” “What? That’s awesome,” I said. “I have to work. I have Remembrance Day to cover in Perth, but I can spring you after that.” “That works,” he said. “The kids are coming to see me tonight, so why don’t you get some rest.” Sounded like a blissful plan ... until about 4 a.m. Saturday morning. I was up as normal, but I felt a little cool in the house. I went to turn up the furnace – but it didn’t turn on. Great, that bleeping thing was on the fritz. I was frozen, the dog was whining to get outside. I called a bunch of numbers I had for emergencies and finally got a hold of an answering service. Someone contacted me soon after that and he was on his way. I called Sweet Baby to let him know I would still be there with his favourite apple pie fritter and black coffee before I had to work, but I would be cutting it close.
The tech had the furnace up and running within an hour, and I was able to get to the hospital just in time for the service, as people were already lining the streets at 10:15 a.m. Sweet Baby’s discharge went off without a hitch. He’d been up walking Friday morning and had limited pain – at least the pain he had before surgery is no longer present, and he’s smiling a lot bigger now. He can even feel his feet again. Now that he is home and settled, he’s getting along quite well up on his high throne and rocking his fourwheeler thanks to the Perth Civitan Club’s medical bank, and to Mom, who kept Dad’s hickory stick. A huge thank you goes out to Dr. Anderson and his team at the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital, Great War Memorial Site, and a special thanks to Emily, his second floor nurse. You truly spoiled him with your great meals and wonderful care. He hasn’t stopped raving about it.
and larger youth sizes (size five and up), as well as small child size skates. “We don’t have many under size 10,” she said. “Small sizes are appreciated, as are larger and adult sizes.” Skaters who are in need of a new pair of skates are to bring their old pairs of skates to exchange. A couple of hockey players from the Smiths Falls Set-
tlers will be in attendance to help with skate fittings. A figure skater from Big Brothers Big Sisters will be there to help as well. “That should help people who have questions,” said Brown. Rotating Rug Rental has provided a mat for fittings so that people don’t have to walk on tile when trying on skates.
