Perth Brewery celebrates 25 years of craft beers Birthday party Aug. 10 to feature Jamie Fine x Elijah Woods LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com In 1993, Joe Carter hit a walk-off three-run homer in the bottom of the ninth against the Philadelphia Phillies as the Blue Jays went on to win their second consecutive World Series title.

And fans in Perth were celebrating with some handmade beers, crafted at the newly-opened Perth Brewery.

Yes, it's been 25 years since the Perth Brewery opened its brew-on-premise facility in the Herriott Street business court.

What started there as a 2,000-square foot small business on Feb. 26, 1993,

has grown to 14,000-square foot production facility where more than a dozen brands of beer are carefully crafted at 121 Dufferin St. on Highway 7.

"We have had seven expansions since we moved here, (to Dufferin Street) and we have another expansion planned for this winter," says owner Jeremy Steeves from the newlybuilt patio at the front of the brewery. He operates the business with his father, Terry Steeves, and Cathy Brown, Terry's partner.

Perth Brewery has become a destination for those seeking a craft beer experience. You can purchase such brands as their most popular Last Duel Lager in selected LCBO and The Beer Store locations.

"I think it's a sign of the times," Steeves says as to why the brewery has become such a popular hot spot. "People want more of a story, or an experience,

Laurie Weir/Metroland

Inside the Perth Brewery, staff can the latest batch of Last Duel Lager. They are Leif Erion, packaging specialist, and Mickey Nault, production manager. or a combination of these things, about what they're consuming now. They're asking more questions

about what is in their beer and how it is made. I feel the times are suggesting this."

They use local products when they can, and on a larger scale, they buy Canadian.

For instance, the sweetness in their Honey Lager comes is from Backwoods Honey, and the maple syrup in the Oh Canada Maple ale is from Temple's Sugar Bush Ltd. Both these small businesses are located in Lanark Highlands.

Visitors can enjoy a pint or a flight in the tap room, take a guided tour, buy some merchandise, or grab a six-pack or a keg to go.

"In the last few years there has been a lot more demand and consumer interest in craft beer," Steeves says. "People are asking questions about all their products. I feel as a whole, consumers have been taken advantage of for a number of years and now we have more interest and awareness."

"Moving to our current location on Highway 7 has been great for accessibility and visibility," Steeves says.

The owners are active in the community, getting involved in events like the Perth Kilt Run, Stewart Park Festival, Fire and Ice Festival, Rib Fest, etc.

"We get as involved as many Ottawa craft beer events as possible," he says.

"But we do have our beers in bars and restaurants and LCBOs across eastern Ontario."

Steeves says he's happy with how business looks now, and how they've grown.

"I always wanted to be able to provide what we're doing now," he says of their larger-scale production.

From the state-of-theart production facility and retail distribution centre, to having the products in local bars and restaurants, has been the owners' goals.

The challenge of the operation now is finding enough storage space, as thousands of litres of lagers, ales, IPAs, darks and stouts that are being produced.

Steeves says they are in need of more fermentation capacity, which can take up to four weeks, depending on the style of beer.

‘Icelandic model’ proposed as crime prevention strategy for Lanark County youth DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Mental illness As many as 500,000 Canadians, in any given week, are unable to work due to mental illness, according to the Mental Health Commission of Canada. Furthermore, a 2017 study found that 11 per cent of Grade 7 to 12 students in Ottawa have considered suicide in the past year.

However, there are

some silver linings to be found among youth.

"Young people are a lot more open about talking about what is happening in their lives," said Somppi.

Back in 1998, substance abuse among 15 and 16year-olds was rampant in Iceland.

"Iceland had the worst data for youth back in the late 90s," said Somppi. As of 2017, "they have the best performance," with declines in cannabis experimentation, daily smoking, and being drunk within the past 30 days. Theft among Grade 10 students in Iceland also saw a marked decline from 1997 to 2016. l See MODEL, page 9

It's not surprising that an island home to the midnight sun would provide some illuminating ideas on crime prevention.

A local group is seeking to bring the so-called "Icelandic Model" to Lanark County, in part by targeting young people and addressing the root causes of crime, like mental illness and addiction, using evidence-based solutions.

David Somppi, chair of the municipal drug strategy committee of Carleton Place, commended Lanark County OPP's recent announcement that it was seeking to hire a full-time

mental health nurse to work out of their Perth headquarters.

"Police are the front line to dealing with mental illness," said Somppi, during a presentation to the Lanark County Association of Police Services Boards meeting on June 27.

Memorial golf tournament for Dustin Littau raises $34,000 On Friday June 15, under beautiful blue skies and perfect temperatures, we held our inaugural #DonateForDustin Memorial Golf Tournament. The tournament was held at Mississippi Golf Club, in memory of Dustin Littau who lost his battle with cancer July 19, 2017 at the age of 31.

During Dustin's courageous battle he received more than 150 units of blood products in 11 weeks.

Our families have made it our mission to replenish the blood that Dustin received and promote awareness of the importance of donating.

Because of people who donated we were given the gift of time with Dustin, and we want to make sure other families are given that gift also.

Two families - the Littaus of Kemptville and the Virgins of Almonte, plus two towns - came together to celebrate the game that Dustin loved most and

raise some monies for three charities that helped Dustin in his battle.

With the generosity of Kemptville and Almonte businesses and family and friends we well surpassed our expectations. A total of $34,000 was raised for three charities with $17,000 presented to Canadian Blood Services; $15,000 to Almonte General Hospital and $2,000 to Little Angels Blood Cancer Fund.

Dusty started playing golf at age 11 and was involved in running the junior program at Rideau Glen Golf Club in Kemptville. Dustin's five nieces and nephews, aged 1 to 4.5, ran "Uncle Dusty's Lemonade Stand" and sold lemonade to the thirsty golfers.

They raised $1,000 and this money will be split between eQuinelle Golf Club and Mississippi Golf Club in support of their junior golf programs.

It is amazing living in a small community where everyone is there to help

When we were looking for sponsorships for the tournament, businesses and residents jumped on board without hesitation.

The sponsorships and do-

nations were beyond our wildest dreams.

Thank you to everyone that donated, golfed and assisted in any way. We are truly blessed to be sur-

rounded by such love, kindness and generosity.

Together we can give hope and the gift of life to other families. North Grenville and Almonte: you are

DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com All of Lanark County is now under a burn ban.

Essentially, if it's an open flame, and it's outside, it's bad. Snuff it out, or, better yet, don't set it in the first place.

"As of last night (Tuesday) around 5 p.m., the whole county of Lanark has a complete ban," said Pascal Meunier, the chief of the Ocean Wave Fire Company in Carleton Place, on Wednesday, July 11. "It's been a dry and warm season. There is no rain in the long range forecast."

While he said he has no idea as yet how long the ban would last, even if there was a sudden storm to appear, "we would need three or four days of constant rain before lifting this ban."

Meunier said that the county was reacting in the same way that neighbouring municipalities like Ottawa were. The ban means

While this tranquil photo was taken last fall, on the shores of Lower Beverley Lake, long before the county-wide burn ban was put in place late on July 10, open air fires like this are now completely banned anywhere in Lanark County. that camp fires are completely banned, as are any open air burning. However, propane barbecues are fine, as are propane fire pits.

The chief added that residents seeking additional information can contact their local fire depart-

ments. While there was a fire in Lanark Highlands Township this afternoon, and a structure fire earlier this week in Mississippi Mills did start "spot fires" around the house, "we've been extremely lucky," in Carleton Place, Meunier said.

Over in Perth, "we've noticed an increase in burning complaints," said Perth fire chief Trevor Choffe.

"It's a recipe for disaster to have any sparks around."

Just this past weekend, his department investigated complaints about fireworks being set off. Even smokers need to be wary.

"Don't just flick it out the window," said Choffe, urging smokers to properly dispose of their butts instead.

The Town of Perth also has a water advisory in effect, "asking residents to not water their lawn or wash their cars."

Perth launched its fire ban on Tuesday afternoon as well, though "some parts of the county went sooner," like Lanark Highlands, which posted its warning on Monday. "Every municipality is a little different."

For example, "Perth used to not allow any burns," but now burning can be done with a permit and other restrictions.

CANADA

'Frustrated' postal workers may have to strike: Union CHRIS SIMON chris.simon@simcoe.com There's a chance your snail mail may slow to a crawl soon.

Canadian Union of Postal Workers national president Mike Palecek called negotiations with Canada Post "frustrating" July 13, and warned residents the postal service is forcing his bargaining units to seriously contemplate strike action. About 50,000 postal workers have been without a collective agreement since the winter.

The sides have met to discuss a new deal more than 100 times. However, the union is setting a final strike vote for Sept. 9.

"This round of bargaining is likely going to define the postal service going forward for a generation," Palecek said in an interview. "We're putting all kinds of issues on the bargaining table that

are not just for ourselves but the public as well.

Postal workers have done absolutely everything in their power to address these without a labour dispute. We campaigned, we organized town hall meetings, we changed the government. Still, nothing has happened.

We're on to our last resort: a strike. That's where Canada Post is driving us."

Canada Post "set us on to this path" through an "absolute refusal" to negotiate, he said.

Philipe Legault, a spokesperson for Canada Post, said a mediator was brought into the collective bargaining process in late 2017. However, the postal service will not comment on specific aspects of negotiations.

"Canada Post negotiators are working hard to find common ground with CUPW and believe a quick resolution is in the

best interest of customers and employees," he said in an email.

A number of issues built up over the last few years because the previous Conservative government refused to negotiate with the union, Palecek said. About 8,000 of the employees work in a rural or suburban setting, with the majority being women. They are paid about 30 per cent less than their 42,000 urbanarea counterparts.

The union is also pushing for the establishment of a Canada Post bank, electrification of the postal service's 13,000-vehicle fleet, and installation of electric vehicle-charging stations at post offices across the country.

"This is an opportunity to bring in new services that will not only bring in revenue but that the public actually needs," Palecek said.

OPINION

Time's running out

With just over a week remaining to file papers for this fall's municipal and school board elections, time is running out for candidates looking to be on the ballot.

The deadline is July 27 at 2 p.m., which has been shortened by 120 days from the previous campaign period of Jan. 1 to the second Friday in September.

These changes, along with a requirement for each candidate to collect 25 signatures from residents in municipalities with a population of more than 4,000 before filing their papers, were made in 2018 in an effort for the election process to be more transparent.

Since the campaign period began on May 1, our local municipalities have seen quite a few candidates file their papers to run for their respective councils, including many newcomers. It's always encouraging to see new faces make the decision to sit on council and school boards and affect change at the local level.

We need that mix of experience and new faces to infuse fresh ideas and a creative outlook on how to solve problems.

Often it can be a thankless job with long hours, low pay and much criticism, but it can also be enriching.

Having a say in writing your municipality's history is rewarding and making tough decisions on the future growth and development of an area isn't something to be taken lightly. It isn't always about cutting the ribbon at business openings or presenting awards, but determining whether things such as large scale developments, pesticide spraying on roadways or the revitalization of a downtown core are the right fit for a community.

It's not an easy task; we know because we see those representatives debating around the table each week while covering council sessions. We witness the spirited, sometimes heated discussions as council members try to come to a consensus on a contentious issue. We will always need people to step up and take on these roles and applaud all of those who continue to serve their communities, both past and present.

Municipal elections have always been an exciting time for our newspapers and we look forward to profiling the candidates in each of our areas to provide readers with some food for thought as they prepare to head to the polls Oct. 22.

• LETTERS & COMMENTARY • Scalpers score big with Premier Ford DEAR EDITOR: Upon recent inauguration as the new Progressive Conservative Premier of Ontario, Doug Ford has promised to lead the first ever true Government of the People. His first enacted policies upon power however have not served the broad mass of the people of Ontario so much as a fraction or even a sliver of the people.

One example that has escaped much attention is the premier's suspension of anti-scalping regulations installed by the previous Liberal government.

Scalping is a market manipulation whereby online programs are used to masspurchase tickets for big sporting or concert events.

After buying out tickets at

mass-speed and thereby monopolizing them, scalpers then resell tickets at severely inflated prices at the expense of the consumer.

In response to this practice, the now-suspended provisions of the Ticket Sales Act had prohibited tickets from being resold at above 50 per cent of their original value. (Last year the Green party of Ontario adopted anti-scalping policies as well.)

The Progressive Conservatives had previously alleged that this law was not reasonably enforceable. But they betrayed their lack of self-confidence by hiding the decision from the public until it was announced by the bureaucracy.

One would think that "the People" would be more likely to be the Ontarians hoping to buy affordable

hockey games tickets, as opposed to the obscure profiteers of cyber scamming. But unless the Progressive Conservatives pledge to bring in a new tougher anti-scalping law, it seems that those wanting to see who will score big at the hockey games may instead see big scores against their wallets - thanks to Premier Ford.

Stefan Klietsch, Renfrew

Scrapping sex ed is irresponsible, says reader DEAR EDITOR: I am writing regarding the Ontario progressive Conservative government's decision to abolish the current sex ed program, rolling back to a program devel-

oped 20 years ago.

While in principle I support the notion of re-examining any curriculum, it is with the notion of moving forward.

The Ford government says inadequate parent consultation went into the previous program.

Fair enough, I support the notion of more parental consultation, but I also support evidence-based research, which is quite unambiguous this matter; good information leads to fewer teen pregnancies and a lowered rate of STD infections.

Flag the curriculum for review, with a balance of evidence and parental opinion, but do NOT revert to an outdated curriculum that leaves our children without the information to make good choices and stay safe!

Model could provide long-term solution To move forward, this idea will require tens of thousands of dollars to run.

"We would need to hire a co-ordinator," said Somppi, cautioning that the model's template may not directly translate to Lanark Coun-

Political reaction Open Doors is on board, and points out that Planet Youth "is a long-term project rather than a long-term solution," said Clouthier.

Rather than changing people, "you're going to change the culture," in order to have long-term change, he said.

"The data is clear," Clouthier said. "The price tag ... in my estimation, (it is) reasonable."

Montague Township Reeve Bill Dobson wondered if Planet Youth could talk to Tweed, the medical marijuana factory in Smiths Falls.

"Yes, they are promoting medical marijuana," said

Dobson, but they could help with committee finances. He pointed out that the LCBO finances antidrunk driving programs.

"Is there an ethical question in that?" asked Somppi. "How would the community react to this."

Tay Valley Township Deputy Reeve Brian Campbell said that with marijuana being legalized this October, challenges to "reduce the use of cannabis will be greater."

Somppi and Clouthier stressed "parental involvement is absolutely critical."

They said parents should where they are at any given time, who their friends are, as well as their friend's parents.

"In Iceland, the parents got together and said we will commit to each other," said Somppi. "They signed contracts with each other," in order to help build a community. "They went out and did walks," in an effort to "know where our kids are at 10 p.m."

The "Icelandic Model," was introduced at a meeting of the Lanark County and Town of Smiths Falls Municipal Drug Strategy Network's quarterly meeting back in February. The network's steering committee voted to approve a "community-based prevention model," according to Somppi, to be called Planet Youth Lanark.

The formal terms of reference were adopted last month, shortly after Kevin Clouthier, executive director of Open Doors for Lanark Children and Youth, and Brenda MacDonaldRowe, attended a workshop on the model in the Icelandic capital of Reykjavik.

Planet Youth aims to "dramatically decrease use of alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, and other drugs by youth," said Somppi. Planet Youth committees would be set up alongside Municipal Drug Strategy committees.

"Lanark County is, we believe, the right size to do this," said Somppi, adding that the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit are also on board. He said it is also "designed around the catchment areas of high schools."

While stressing that "there is no silver bullet," on these issues, "there is really something here," said Somppi.

In Iceland, "it took a lot of time and work." But, "it did make a difference."

there are uniquely North American problems, like tailgate parties before high school football games.

"Is that what we want?" asked Somppi.

Some summer travel deficiencies to consider

Jeff Maguire writes about highway deficiencies in Ontario We are smack in the middle of the summer vacation and travel season and if you need confirmation of that just take to the roads anywhere in our province this

week. The main highways are bumper to bumper and secondary routes are far busier than usual.

I know from whence I speak, because two weekends ago my wife and I, along with my sister Linda Parisien from Stittsville, attended a celebration of life for the husband of a first cousin of ours in Haliburton.

In recent years Kathleen and I

...going the

mile to deliver exquisite service!

oPen HouSe Sun July 22nd 2-4 PM

have also visited the beautiful Haliburton Highlands region to attend happier family occasions.

I have another first cousin we are close to who lives just outside Haliburton. I have familiarized myself with the district and when it came to our journey two weekends ago I was well versed on how to get there.

I considered two routes. But concerned with weekend traffic on busy Highway 7 we settled on a more rural passage through places including Renfrew, Dacre, Denbigh, Hardwood Lake, McArthur's Mills and Bancroft. We passed through Tory Hill where my late father Howard spent much of his childhood. My Dad was born in the nearby hamlet of Harcourt and most of his surviving family still live in the Haliburton area or neighbouring Kawartha Lakes.

The communities I've referred to are familiar stops along the Central Ontario summer tourist trail. It didn't take us very long to encounter the deficiencies that exist along our highways and byways these days.

For one thing, where do you find a public washroom? Unless you go into a roadside restaurant and use their toilets, without intending to purchase anything, those kinds of facilities are few

JEFF MAGUIRE Column and far between.

Admittedly there are some community parks with toilets.

But on a long trip who has time to scout them out? When you do run across such a place the facilities are most often of the portable variety and cleanliness (or lack of it) is a big issue.

The day after the family gathering the three of us toured some once familiar places in that region of the province where we encountered an identical issue.

However I do commend communities such as Bobcaygeon (we have family there too) who can boast excellent, clean, and easy to find public washrooms.

Another problem for visitors who are unfamiliar with any part of Ontario is just simple stopping places. Washrooms aside, where do you find good picnic places or even a pull-in spot to stop your vehicle and consult your GPS, road

map or use a cellphone?

As for GPS and road maps you will definitely need them if you get off the 400 series of highways.

Because road signs are often confusing, difficult to see or totally non-existent.

Our province used to have an excellent series of roadside parks. There are a few still out there but usually only along the busiest routes.

On secondary roads they are really scarce. Clearly there are exceptions but despite the obvious need to find cost savings in Ontario we should be doing a better job hosting visitors.

Closing roadside parks and failing to provide adequate public rest stops is false economy in my estimation. It can't help but damage our tourist trade, especially with the neighbouring USA. Somehow the powers that be, the provincial government and local municipalities, need to get together and find ways to better serve visitors to Ontario, not to mention our own population.

Surely we can do better? – Jeff Maguire is a career journalist who lives in Carleton Place, Ont. He has been writing for community and daily newspapers in Ontario since 1971. He can be contacted by email at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers.com

New child advocacy centre will support Lanark County LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com Open Doors for Lanark Children and Youth, in partnership with Family & Children's Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville, The Lanark OPP, Lanark County Situation Table, Victim Services Lanark County, Lanark County Interval House and Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital announce a plan to open a child advocacy centre in Lanark County. The centre will address the needs of local children, youth and families in cases of abuse.

This project began in December of 2017 with the submission of a proposal to

the Department of Justice Canada for funding to develop and pilot a child advocacy centre in Lanark County.

The application was based on a needs and feasibility study conducted by the partnership to support the growing number of area victimizations being reported to county agencies.

When the centre opens, it will provide single-site multidisciplinary services including co-ordinating referrals to services such as mental health, safety planning, housing, domestic violence intervention and transportation.

The child advocacy centre is a multi-year project.

The location of the physical site has yet to be determined. It will operate virtually until such time as a host community has been established.

This initiative also dovetails well with two child and youth mental health priorities that were highlighted through recent community consultation for Moving on Mental Health, the Ontario child and youth mental health transformation process.

Specifically, this project will address the expressed desire for improved accessibility to service when the need is present, plus the benefit of enhanced co-ordination of service between community part-

ners delivering service with children, youth and families.

"We look forward to working together with our partners to ensure positive outcomes for our children and families in crisis.

Through enhanced communication and integration of services it should be possible to provide more timely and effective interventions and support for those who need it. We are grateful to be able to implement this model in Lanark County," said Terri Brady, past chair.

While research in Canada is still in the early stages, the federal Department of Justice highlights some of the positive impacts of

this service delivery model. Some of these community benefits include cost-effective and expedited criminal investigations, increased child, youth and family focused care, and improved communication and co-ordination between community resources.

"Our government is unwavering in its commitment to ensure that all victims of crime are treated with the respect and dignity they deserve.

Child and youth victims of crime and their families need information, services and supports to begin their healing journey.

Investing in child advocacy centres, such as this one in Lanark County, will

address gaps in services to these vulnerable groups and will help fulfil our government's commitment to create a criminal justice system that protects the vulnerable and builds a safer and better Canada," said The Honourable Jody Wilson-Raybould, P.C., Q.C., M.P. Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada.

The Lanark County Child Advocacy Centre will provide an integrated, seamless and collaborative approach to addressing the needs of children and youth who are victims of sexual violence, assault, and physical abuse countywide.

When George Bernard Shaw wrote Mrs. Warren's Profession - a comedic classic opening July 20 at the Classic Theatre Festival in Perth - it took him eight years before he was able to arrange a private staging of the play, and an additional 20 years before it was first publicly performed in London.

The play caused a worldwide stir, from being banned in England to getting shut down in New Haven and New York City.

The show's first performers, producers and director were subject to arrest warrants because the authorities considered the play too dangerous for public eyes.

This remarkable story of the gradual reveal of a family secret - the source of Mrs. Warren's wealth - introduces some of the most memorable comic characters Shaw ever created, from the dastardly Crofts to the indecisive Rev. Gardner. When Warren's daughter Vivie begins to understand the secret, it sets up the stage for a classic mother-daughter row without parallel.

While the sensibilities of an earlier time kept the play from public view, it remains incredibly timely and in tune with today's #MeToo moment, with Shaw writing that this is "a play for women; it was

written for women; it has been performed and produced mainly through the determination of women, and not one of these women had any inducement to support it except their belief in the timeliness and the power of the lesson the play teaches."

Appearing in the play are some of Canada's most recognizable stage and screen performers. Catherine McNally (Mrs. Warren), recipient of the prestigious Christopher Plummer Award, is frequently seen on TV, including in The Handmaids Tale, Anne (Netflix), Schitts Creek, Cardinal, Charming Christmas and Mur-

doch Mysteries. Anna Burkholder, playing Vivie, is a festival favourite who returns from Montreal after stellar appearances here in An Inspector Calls and Candida.

Also featured are performer/writer Douglas Hughes (a veteran of the Stratford and Shaw festivals), Nicholas Rice (frequently seen in this area at Thousand Islands Playhouse and St. Lawrence Shakespeare), Colin Legge (who regularly performs across Canada, the U.S. and U.K.), and Kyle Orzechs (who toured in My Mother's, Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding, the first musical by the team responsi-

ble for the current Broadway smash hit, Come From Away).

Mrs. Warren's Profession, which opens July 20, is one of four shows playing during July at the Festival.

Among them are two new historic theatrical walking plays. This year features family-friendly, hour-long tales of Perth during the turbulent war years of the 1940s. In the touching morning play, The Prisoner of Petawawa (Wed. to Sun. at 11 a.m.), the budding promise of young love runs into the reality of a battle-scarred soldier, while the discovery of a new town resident reveals an unsavoury part of Cana-

dian history.

The Lonely Ghosts Walk (Thurs. & Fri at 7 p.m.) is a musical and comedic look at the challenges and tribulations faced by British war brides adjusting to a new life in rural Perth.

Far From Home is a reminder of both the contributions made by - and the obstacles often put in the way of - successive generations of immigrants to Perth.

Both walking plays begin at Matheson House Museum, 11 Gore St. E. Tickets to the festival are available at 1-877-2831283 or classictheatre.ca.

16 OPINION

Dandelions had many useful purposes on the farm

Mother drew the line at Father's homemade wine though, Mary Cook recalls Mother said it would be a frosty day in July before she would consider dandelions anything but weeds.

When she arrived on the farm in the backwoods of Renfrew County, after living 18 years in New York City, and Father, and even Aunt Bertha on the farm beside us, told her that dandelions were good to eat, she vowed they would never find a place on our dinner table.

Well, all that changed when Father decided he was dying for a good feed of boiled dandelions smothered in fresh butter. Mother said she would cook them, but he wasn't to expect her to eat any of them. My sister Audrey and I were sent out to the yard with the dish pan where there were more weeds than grass, and she showed me how we were just to

MARY COOK Column take the leaves, and to try to take only those that were a good size.

Well, with dandelions everywhere, it didn't take us long to fill the dishpan.

Of course, Mother had to make sure that every last leaf was thoroughly washed, one by one. Then she wrapped them in a clean flour-bag tea towel, and squeezed the water out of them.

That certainly cut down on the amount we would be having for supper. To be sure there would be at least one or two other vegetables on the table (as she said just in case no one but Father had a feed of the "weeds" as she called them), she cut up a head of cabbage and good number of carrots too.

That all happened before Mother found out just how tasty a good feed of dandelions can be.

Sopping with butter and salt and pepper, it didn't take long for the bowl to disappear.

Now, Father liked just plain meals ... nothing fancy for him.

Meat, potatoes, gravy, vegetables and pie was a good feed as far as he was concerned.

And even though he had talked about a meal of dandelions often, he certainly didn't expect Mother to put them on the dinner table every few days! To add a few extras, to give them what Mother called a 'lift,' went over like a lead balloon.

Mother added sour cream one day, and another time she put lemon juice on them. Father took one mouthful and headed for the back door to get rid of what was in his mouth. So it was plain dandelions ever after.

Of course, the weed served another purpose as well. Father

made dandelion wine, and we all stayed clear when he was in the middle of that job, let me tell you!

All I knew was he didn't wash the leaves first, which was enough to turn Mother off at the outset. And he didn't want any help either, so I never did learn exactly how it was made.

When he had used up the few empty liquor bottles that once held what Uncle Herby had brought from Montreal, he poured it into KIK bottles, which he hoarded when we were lucky enough to have a bottle of pop from Briscoe's General Store.

Mother wouldn't touch it knowing that the weeds came directly from the yard and right into the brew without the benefit of a drop of water. Father tried to assure her that once the brew turned into wine, all germs would be long gone, but that did little to sway Mother.

Then there was the joy I got when my sister Audrey and I

would sit out on the grass, and Audrey would take a stem of the dandelion ... the longer the better, and she would gently divide the stem in two, and each stem would be rolled down into a tight curl.

They served absolutely no earthly purpose, but it was the joy of spending time alone with my much older sister, something we could do together.

And I would sit with amazement that there was yet another use for the simple dandelion that grew in such great abundance in our very own backyard.

Orange Lodges from near and far assembled in Carleton Place on Thursday, July 12 to celebrate the 328th anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne - marking the victory of Protestant King William of Orange over Catholic King James II at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690.

Festivities, held at the Neelin Street Community Centre (arena), included a service of worship, roast beef dinner, parade and dance. Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn brought greetings from the town.

The Orange Order is a Protestant organization based predominantly in Northern Ireland and Scotland, though it has lodges throughout Canada and the United States.

Owing to membership decline, Carleton Place's Orange Lodge (No. 48) folded in 2015 after celebrating its 185th anniversary.

Many years ago, the lodge boasted 50-plus members.

Roughly 2,000 people participated in the local Orangemen's Day parade and another 2,000 lined the streets to watch.

LAWS seeks homes for cats dumped at shelter When you are out and about please stop by Pet Valu stores in Almonte and Carleton Place as well as Natural Pets in Carleton Place. There are Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) kittens and cats available for adoption there, too.

Featured pets Hello we're Breezy, Buck and Bauer. We were dumped at LAWS with Brody our eldest brother. Our previous owner just stuffed us in a tote-box each and left us, overnight, in front of the door at LAWS. Can you believe people doing that? It was a very scary experience for us. They didn't leave a message with our names, ages and other history. They

didn't send any money to spend on food or medical care with us either. We're very upset as we didn't deserve this nor is this something you do to a shelter who relies on donations to pay the bills. It's called abandonment.

However they're on top of things here as there are cameras all over the property.

We are really good, healthy cats except Brody who needed expensive dental work. He was in a lot of pain. The staff at LAWS decided he was worth it to spend lots of money on getting him feeling better.

They're so nice here, they feed us, have sent us to the vet for medical check-up as well as being neutered. We are now ready to find our true forever home(s). Until

someone adopts us we're enjoying the daily cuddles and hugs and kisses we receive at LAWS. Brody already found a new home and has texted happy tail messages to us. We're a bit envious but also confident that we'll find a home too.

We're very friendly, wellbehaved, affectionate, playful, and laid-back cats who LOVE people and as an added bonus we're all very handsome. Please meet us at LAWS. Hi my name is Momma 1 and I am as sweet as I am beautiful and I can't wait to meet my new best friend! I am living with other cats at the shelter since October last year.

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!

Firefighters in Lanark Highlands released from volunteer duties LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com The Township of Lanark Highlands has terminated two longserving volunteer firefighters in Lanark, igniting a firestorm of outcry in the community.

Ron Closs and Jeff Rothwell together with more than 60 years of service in the department, were released from their volunteer positions by the township on July 4.

"My crime was speaking up and asking questions and standing up for my firefighters," Closs wrote in a Facebook post. "In Lanark Highlands they call that insubordination and terminated for cause! This madness has to stop and this action confirms my decision to run for council this fall. If they thought that this would shut me up, they are sadly mistaken! I will miss attending emergency calls, training, meetings and interacting with other firefighters but I will not miss dealing with the issues that we have been subjected to over the term of this last council."

Closs, a former station chief in Lanark Village, spoke with The

Perth Courier on July 9 saying he has been terminated, and he's hoping to make some changes in the township because of it. He said he hopes his firing will start some discussion on the ways in which fire services are performed in the municipality.

"To me, the interim chief should be terminated immediately, and they should start a hiring process for a new chief; and they don't do any structural changes to the department until after the election and there is a new council in place," Closs said.

"There needs to be changes in council," he said. He is running in Ward 1 in the fall.

The number of volunteer firefighters is down to about 60 now, Closs said, with more trying to take leaves of absence until a new council is voted in Oct. 22. Lanark Highlands has had one chief, two deputy chiefs and a station chief terminated for cause, he said.

"That is over 100-plus years of experience gone from the Lanark Highlands volunteer fire service in the past six months."

Closs said he is not the cancer in this situation, although the township may think that.

"I don't want to put citizens at risk; there are two stations on board and two stations not on board" with giving up their volunteer duties, not including White Lake.

"The majority of the firefighters are on board with turning in their pagers," he said, coming from stations 1 and 3 (Lanark Village and McDonalds Corners.)

Closs said the municipality is not following its own rules when it comes to the chain of command, and when he wanted to meet to discuss his concerns with the township, he was fired on the spot.

The letter he received from the township reads: "The township considers your conduct in response to restructuring initiatives to be insubordinate, contrary to the code of conduct, and detrimental to the strength and well-being of the township's fire service going forward."

Mandatory training, the hiring and firing of volunteers and staff and communication in general are among Closs' other concerns.

He said training would cost more than $3,000 per person.

Facebook/Ron Closs

Ron Closs was fired from his volunteer position July 4, 2018, as station fire chief in Lanark Highlands for insubordination. He has been a volunteer firefighter for some 30 years.

"That's a bit of an issue," he said, noting that he spoke to MPP Randy Hillier about it the morning of July 4.

"It's gotten to the point that we're not going to be able to get volunteers to meet the requirements," he said.

Closs said he couldn't believe that his council hadn't been to see the MPP to help find funding solutions to help with training their complement of firefighters.

Perth Medal awarded to longtime Stewart Park Festival volunteer John McKenty volunteers, and their work, has been integral to the festival continuing as long as it has.

McKenty has been a producer of the Stewart Park Festival since 2006. The festival has been running for around three decades and brings 20,000-25,000 people to town for the three-day event each July.

"When asked if I would allow my name to stand for nomination, I said yes if it stood for the countless volunteers who, over 27 years, have kept Stewart Park Festival alive and successful in the town of Perth," said McKenty in his acceptance speech. "So, in accepting this honour, I really want to recognize everyone ... including Mayor Fenik who was a partner of the festival early on.

"Volunteering has its own rewards, each of you know that. I want to thank the Town of Perth for this recognition and for those who have helped us along the way."

EVELYN HARFORD eharford@metroland.com The 2018 Perth Medal was awarded to longtime volunteer, John McKenty.

The medal, given to an individual showing significant distinction in a number of endeavours to benefit the Perth community as a whole, devoting a good part of his or her life to community service, was presented to McKenty by Mayor John Fenik in front of Stewart Park Festival volunteers as the festival was winding down on Sunday, July 15.

Normally, the mayor's award is presented at the Perth and District Chamber of Commerce's banquet in the fall. But occasionally, the medal is presented at a different event - particularly when that function involves many peers of the recipient. This was the case this year.

McKenty's leadership, guidance and support of the Stewart Park Festival

Though McKenty is very active with the Stewart Park Festival, he has also spread his service in a variety of ways. McKenty's service dates back to 1992, when he regularly assisted the Perth Figure Skating Club. He's been involved with the Perth Regional Heritage Fair for over seven years. McKenty organizes a retirement breakfast for retired teachers on a regular basis. McKenty is an avid local historian and storyteller. He's authored six book chronicling various elements of Perth's past.

McKenty is a retired teacher and principal, working as principal at SJES from 1987-1989. He then became the first principal at St. John Catholic High School in Perth when the new school opened its doors in 1989-2004.

"I wish to congratulate you on your great service to this community and may you forever be active in Perth," said Fenik.

Perth's 'Prisoner of Petawawa' tackles issues from Canada's wartime past

DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com Not all acts of war are heroic.

And not all who survive a war physically, escape emotional damage.

The Classic Theatre Festival's new summer "Perth Through The Ages" presentation, the show "The Prisoner of Petawawa," looks at both mental and physical imprisonment.

(Spoiler alert: The remainder of this article contains plot points to this production, so, if you're looking› to see this play, and still want to be surprised, you know what to do.)

The play begins in the summer of 1945.

"There's still a war on," says Daisy, played by Mallory Brumm, during the July 4 production.

"Yes, in the Pacific," replied her friend Clara, played by Katie Irvine.

The play utilizes a lot of period music, including what is likely the defining song of the era: Glen Miller's "In The Mood." The song segues nicely into the next scene, where Clara is busy planning a dance for her brother Sean, played by Connor Williamson.

Sean was injured during the Allied invasion of Italy, and has finally been released from hospital.

Clara also harbours hopes that Daisy will soon be her sister-inlaw when she marries Sean.

"The Perth Citizens Band has

agreed to play," says Clara excitedly, showing just how established the band is in local history.

"It has to be loud!"

An uninvited guest Later, in the garden, Daisy finds a vagrant asleep, and betrays a small town sensibility when she asks: "I don't recognize you. Are you from town?"

She continues to press the man, named Rupert, about who he is and where he is from.

"Surely you served overseas?" she asks, since he is a man of military age. Rupert, played by Connor Lyon, is evasive, prompting Daisy to ask: "How did you manage to avoid the draft? Are you one of those conscientious objectors?"

"I've been a POW," he replies.

"In a camp near Petawawa. That's where they've been keeping German-Canadians."

Daisy is at first confused. She had indeed heard that civilians of German background were rounded up. (Indeed, Japanese-Canadians were also interned, as were people of other nationalities.)

"Didn't they (the authorities) interview you? Find out where your sympathies lay?" asked a slightly agitated Daisy.

"I am a Canadian of German background. I hate the Nazis," Rupert said, making it clear.

Now it is Daisy's turn to be clear - she said her fiancée, Sean, was injured in Italy, while serving with the Lanark and Renfrew

Scottish Regiment.

But, she has taken a shine to Rupert, even feeling some sympathy for him. She takes him on as a hired hand until he can earn enough money to get back to his family farm near Eganville.

The Homecoming Sean arrives home unexpectedly - but it is not entirely the sweeping reunion Clara had hoped.

"I imagined you every day. It kept me going," said Sean, touching Daisy's face.

Clara is touched by her brother's obvious emotion. She reveals to Daisy that since her brother arrived home, "I've hardly seen him laugh."

But Sean's happiness, however stilted, comes to a quick end when Rupert enters the room.

"I've come home to find a man living here with you, my fiancée," said Sean. (In fairness, Rupert was living in a shed in the garden.)

After losing his temper yet again in another scene, silencing Clara as she prattled on about the upcoming dance, Sean grows frustrated.

"I can't seem to do anything right," says Sean. "I seem to be upsetting everyone these days."

He explains to Daisy that, "if you'd seen the things I'd seen, you'd understand."

Later, Rupert says, "they used to call it shell shock," but Daisy dismisses this: "(Shell shock) is

for old men from the Great War," she said. "Not Sean."

Cry for help "I don't know Daisy. There's something wrong with me," said Sean, during a heart-to-heart in the garden. "I've been having nightmares about our time over there. I can't sleep."

Apart from sleeplessness, "no one understands. That's the problem." He sees his fellow veterans and knows that "they're suffering too. No one wants to talk about it."

Sean has been offered a job at Mr. Shaw's warehouse, but "I don't think I can do it," he said.

Already, his "shell shock," is affecting his future plans.

"I don't want you to be saddled with a mental case," he said, in trying to break off the engagement. The war "wasn't at all like I thought it would be."

He recalls moving with the 5th Canadian Division from Sicily to the Italian mainland - bored one minute, the next, under "heavy shelling," with fighting so intense "you could hardly take a breath."

That's when all hell broke loose, he said, as the Axis threw all they had at the advancing Allies.

"You can never really know what it feels like until you are there," he said.

In a heartbreaking recollection, he recounted seeing fellow Perth and District Collegiate Institute classmate Jake McGibbon killed on the battle-

field.

"Machine gun bullets sliced him in two," Sean said. "Right in front of me."

All around him men were dying.

"There was nothing you could do. I should have stayed with him (McGibbon). Made sure his body came back home to his family."

Injured himself, Sean later awoke in a hospital, with a priest was standing over him and reading from the bible. Feeling the anger rise up inside of him, he exploded: "I'm not dead yet, you bastard!"

Back in Canada, "I keep seeing Jake. I see him everywhere. He's calling to me. Help me Daisy."

COMMUNITY

Reconciliation Sean and Daisy walk off together, toward an uncertain future.

In the final scene, Sean apologizes to Rupert.

"I was drunk," Sean said. In his stilted way, he tries to apologize for what he went through in Petawawa.

Rupert escaped Nazi Germany, only to find himself in a concentration camp himself - in Canada.

The Classic Theatre Festival's production of "The Prisoner of Petawawa," runs at 11 a.m. every Wednesday to Sunday, from now until Aug. 26.

A flat tire, a phone call and a biography

Cathy James writes about senior living and a swimming spot Recently, on her way to the Perth Union Library, Wanda Pelletier noticed her car was making an unusual noise. She parked on Drummond Street alongside the library and looked at her tires - sure enough, the right front tire was completely flat.

She went into the library and spoke to librarian Julie Hensen. Julie promptly sat Wanda in front of a phone and

CATHY JAMES Column helped her arrange for CAA to arrive. While waiting for an answer on arrival time, Julie found the biography Wanda had originally come for. When CAA answered, Wanda was told that someone would be there within a few minutes. She waited right in

front of the library for a few minutes and sure enough someone from Oakes arrived. A very nice young man parked behind her car, took off the offending tire, located the spare (which was also flat), inflated the tire and off she went to Canadian Tire where they replaced her tire. The whole process took her about an hour.

Wanda reached out to tell me this story to outline her appreciation for the kind help she received in her hour of trouble and she is adamant that Perth is a great town for seniors.

These changes are intended to implement revised Official Plan policies such as updated Environmental Protection (EP) and Floodplain (FP) mapping and adding or revising provisions including, but not limited to, Secondary Dwelling Units, Home-Based Businesses, Source Water Protection and Tiny Homes. The effect of the amendment would be to implement the policies of the Official Plan and to address various zoning matters that have been identified by the public and/ or staff through experience in working with the Zoning By-law.

In the event that you are unable to attend the meeting but wish to submit written comments, please attempt to ensure that your comments are delivered to the Clerk’s office no later than August 10th, 2018.

IF A PERSON OR PUBLIC BODY would otherwise have an ability to appeal the decision of Tay Valley Township to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal but the person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to Tay Valley Township before the by-law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision.

IF A PERSON OR PUBLIC BODY does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to Tay Valley Township before the by-law is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to a hearing of an appeal before the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal unless, in the opinion of the Tribunal, there are reasonable grounds to do so.

Seniors' co-housing initiative makes traction We've got a theme going on this week - senior living in Perth. A while back, I outlined plans for a local group's intention to build a modest, condominiumstyle building with standalone apartments and common areas that encourage a supportive and environmentally sound lifestyle.

Well, they're one step closer to bringing that dream to life.

Forbes Symon, Perth's director of development and protective services announced earlier this month that council has

approved the sale of the largest remaining parcel of undeveloped land at the PerthWorks site to Tay Commons Cohousing, a local seniors' group.

The group has been promoting the co-housing movement for some time and is looking forward to the next steps in the process.

A very expensive, but sparkly, hairball Tay River water levels diminish Pet ownership can be costly, writes Stephanie Gray

The Town of Perth is working with the Rideau Valley conservation Authority to monitor water levels in the Tay River due to lack of rain and subsequent decrease in water flows in the watershed.

Perth staff are working on several fronts to optimize municipal operations to lessen impacts on water demands while maintaining operations.

Residents are asked to voluntarily reduce water consumption in areas of lawn watering and vehicle washing.

Significant rainfall over an extended duration is needed to impact the diminished reserves. RVCA staff will continue to monitor conditions and communicate with water managers throughout the watershed via the Rideau Valley Water Response Team.

The municipality will continue to monitor water levels in the Tay and Rideau River watersheds and communicate with stakeholders to optimize water usage.

Residents and businesses can monitor conditions through local media, the Town of Perth website, www.perth.ca and the RVCA website, www.rvca.ca.

Submitted by the Town of Perth.

The recent heat wave got to a lot of people.

It got to a lot of animals, too.

We were hoping that's why our kitty was off his food a couple of weeks ago, although it seemed a bit unlikely given that he is an indoor cat and we have air conditioning and he really does have it pretty good in his castle.

Ramsey's a fairly young lad who seemed to be in pretty good health, but then he stopped eating and drinking for several days.

Not even tempting him with favourite treats was working.

So, we visited the vet. It's always (kind of) fun to take Ramsey to the Perth Veterinary Clinic because we adopted him from there.

He lived there for a little while, so they all love him.

Naturally, Ramsey was alert and bright-eyed and active when we got there. No sign of fever (he did not enjoy having that checked). No obvious signs of anything. And he did not want his nails trimmed.

Other than those obvious verbal/non-verbal expressions of dislike, Ramsey didn't really tell us anything.

That's the thing with animals.

Most of them can't talk. I can't tell you how many times I said to Ramsey, "Dude. Why aren't you eating?" and "What's wrong, little buddy?" and all I got was a green-eyed gaze.

We left with a laxative in case stuff needed to move through and an antibiotic in case there

was a germ to attack and agreed to reconvene if he hadn't started to eat in a day or so.

That was a really long day. I am quite attached to this little guy and I was worried. Besides, using a syringe to squirt water into a cat's mouth isn't as much fun as it might sound (Doesn't sound like much fun, actually).

We returned to the vet and they kept him overnight to rehydrate him. The next day, I learned he had cleverly chewed through his IV, so they had it strapped on with a sparkly mesh bandage and were giving it another go. His blood work was excellent, but the X-rays showed a big ol' blob of something in his tummy.

Oh oh.

The working theory was that it was a giant, immobile hairball.

Dude. You gotta hack them things up like all our other cats did.

So, there were options. First was surgery, which comes with all the usual risks around anesthetic and infection.

We could do fancy radioactive tests, which would give us a better idea of what it was and whether the gut was moving it through or not, but that could still mean surgery and then you've got to wait for a bunch of radioactive stuff to settle down.

We could wait and see if it the blob would pass naturally, which risked many more days of him not eating and then getting sicker, and he might still need surgery.

Young cat. Good cat. Healthy cat. My little buddy.

ership is that sometimes things get costly, but how do you put a price on a little buddy?

So, we opted for surgery and had a very expensive hairball removed. Interestingly, it also had bits of glitter in it from Ramsey trying to chew off his sparkly IV bandage. Sparkly expensive hairball ...

As I write this, our boy is recovering well. His gut is churning back into action and we will be starting a hairball-prevention regimen soon.

We'll also have a long chat about hoarding hairballs, and I will be encouraging him to get a part-time job.

Thanks to our friends at the Perth Vet Clinic for taking such good care of our little buddy.

Learn cross-cultural connections with the land at daylong seminar in Lanark Have you wondered how you might contribute in a meaningful way to the Truth and Reconciliation process with Indigenous people in your own community?

On July 21, you will have an opportunity to both participate in an unusual learning experience

and make a concrete difference to the life of Indigenous youth here in Lanark County. Mississippi Mills All My Relations is sponsoring an educational event in partnership with the Indigenous organization, Plenty Canada, to raise funds for Plenty Canada's

Cross Cultural Youth Program.

The day will open and close with a traditional Algonquin ceremony, led by elder Larry McDermott. Indigenous wisdom keepers and non-Indigenous science experts will collaborate in knowledge sharing circles,

touching on subjects like forestry, wild rice, invasive species, and Algonquin cultural teachings. A traditional Algonquin lunch will be served for attendees, during which there is opportunity for community members to observe the Mòkinàn Arts Exhibit, fea-

turing paintings from Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth artists aged 12-19 from Lanark County.

Attendees can also sign up for a three-hour workshop hosted by Algonquin master birch bark canoe builder, Chuck Commanda.

Participants will learn these techniques hands-on, and create their own miniature birch bark canoe to take home.

Our Wisdom Keepers Larry McDermott Algonquin elder Larry McDermott is an ambassador of Shabot Obaadjiwan First Nation, executive director of Plenty Canada, and lead elder at the Silver Lake Powwow this year. He will be conducting opening and closing ceremonies at the event, and leading a knowledge-sharing circle on Algonquin cultural teachings, including the four sacred medicines.

Chris Craig Algonquin wisdom keeper, Chris Craig, is a member of Algonquins of Pikwakanagan, and a senior forestry technician with South Nation Conservation. He will be guiding us on our walk through the William Commanda trail, and sharing knowledge on the healing powers and cultural significance of plants and trees that we discover.

Chuck Commanda Master Algonquin birch bark canoe builder, Chuck Commanda, will be sharing knowledge on the historical significance of the birch bark canoe, and the natural materials harvested from the forest used in the process. Workshop attendees will work with birch bark and spruce root to create their own miniature canoe models of the birch bark canoe.

The Perth Golf Course has various leagues available to members and guests. The men's leagues are Monday, Tuesday evenings and Thursdays. The ladies play on Tuesday morning and Wednesday evening.

Mark Strachan, PGA of Canada, is the director of golf; he provides tips and is available for lessons. He provided the following tip for this article.

"All too often generic golf tips are given by people who probably shouldn't be giving them. These include one of my favourite misguided tips: 'Keep your

head down.' When you make a conscious effort to keep your head down you will end up locking your chin down to your chest.

This kills body rotation and limits a full follow through. Any effort to make an athletic golf swing is totally shot. Just like the rest of your body, your head should also rotate toward the target on your follow through. If you need help with your golf game, don't take advise from someone that is telling you that you're lifting your head. Contact one of our local PGA professionals for help."

pality, sent an email about training costs, and I got no reply," he said. "Nothing.

You can't ask someone who has already put in 30 years of their lives to give up five weeks, or whatever it takes, to get trained. We have had training by fire no pun intended. But there may be changes, I have no idea, but I think there were some good positives come out of the meeting with MPP Hillier."

Closs said he is not against training, but new recruits now have to train for 140 to 150 hours, essentially giving up their weekends for months just to become volunteer firefighters.

"How many people have you weeded out off the bat that can't commit to that kind of training? For a firefighter, Level 1, you're looking at over $3,000 per person."

Closs said that if a fire call came in to Lanark today, there might not be any responders.

"They would come from another station," he said of the some 64 volunteers in the township.

Mayor speaks out Lanark Highlands Mayor Brian Stewart wrote an

emailed statement to this newspaper on Monday, July 9, in which he said: "It is important that the township ensures that residents have the facts. Although there have been a few recent changes in the leadership of the fire service, there has been no negative impact to the fire service or the safety of the residents of Lanark Highlands."

The mayor said that it's unfortunate, but these "difficult decisions made by the township's administration were made in accordance with Township policies, the Establishing and Regulating Bylaw (E&R) as well as the fire service code of conduct (which every member of the fire service has read and signed)."

Stewart said the office is working with the Ontario Fire Marshal's Office to understand the logistics of achieving the required certifications, including the timelines that are being imposed on municipalities by the province as well as identifying the budget implications.

"In the case of our fire service budget, it has increased by 12.1 per cent from 2014 to 2018: ($185,500 was allocated to reserves, $124,000 to major capital, $26,300 for members outsourced training, $190,000

forward and voiced their support for these changes and their willingness to take on greater responsibilities in the days ahead. I wish to thank our fire service members for their patience and their continued commitment to the safety of the people of Lanark Highlands."

As part of the continuing effort to bring the firefighting equipment and training up-to-date, the 2018 budget (which is available on the township website) provides for the following: • Personal protective equipment: $55,000 for the purchase of bunker gear and Wildland boots this year plus $15,000 to be added to the reserve for future purchases; • Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA): $71,500 to be added to the reserve for the replacement of the SCBA's anticipated cost of $334,400 ($11,147 per unit).

balance of the reserve to $193,000 at the end of 2018 and if the contributions continue there will be sufficient funds for the planned replacement in 2020; • Hoses: $4,000 has been added to the reserve for hose replacement and $8,000 has been allocated for expenditure in 2018 leaving a balance of $10,000 at the end of 2018; • Vehicles and apparatus: $95,000 has been added to the vehicle and apparatus reserve and $100,000 has been allocated for expenditure in 2018 for potential acquisitions. The balance of the reserve will be $697,171 at the end of 2018 for the replacement of an aging fleet; • Dry hydrants: $16,000 has been allocated for new dry hydrants at Tatlock and Roberstson Lake; and, • Training (outsourced): $26,300 for training such as chainsaw training, CPR/ first aid, NFPA 1001, NFPA 1002, WHMIS, text books, etc.

Stewart wouldn't comment on the firings specifically, citing confidentiality issues.

Lanark Highlands Township is in the process of implementing a new organizational structure for the fire service as a result of the approval by council of the revised establishing and regulating bylaw.

"While change is always difficult, it is inevitable in any organization," he said.

"I am pleased that many of our volunteer firefighters and officers have stepped

In May 2018, staff held a general meeting with the fire service to go over the 2016 E&R bylaw and the proposed changes. This meeting provided an opportunity for all members to ask questions and provide input before its final approval. One of the changes to the bylaw included a restructure of the officer level of the service, "which allowed for a less ambiguous hierarchy and ensured the LHFS organization structure aligns with many of the rural fire services in Ontario," Stewart noted in his second press release.

This change reduced the three deputy chiefs to one deputy fire chief, changed the title of five station chiefs to five station captains and added additional station lieutenants and a new training officer position.

"These changes provide for a clear chain of command and opportunity for advancement within the fire service," Stewart said.

"These changes also help resolve several of the issues identified by members of the LHFS as part of a review of the fire service carried out by Nigel Bellchamber in July 2016 (this document is on the township's website)."

Competitive processes for new and vacant positions are being launched.

The positions with a title change (example: from station chief to station captain) will require a process to update and validate the officer's personnel records, the mayor explained.

Through the review process of the E&R bylaw, a vulnerability and liability to the township was uncovered by the new interim Chief Bell and clerk administrator Allison Vereyken.

"Personnel files of the ex-

isting officers were not kept up-to-date with the necessary documentation supporting their qualifications and certification required of the positions they held," Stewart said.

This documentation includes vulnerable sector police checks, drivers' abstracts, resumes/applications, internal testing, signed off job descriptions, annual performance reviews, up-to-date CPR/first aid, etc.

As presented at the May 16 meeting, all current officer rankings will be respected, and their years of service will be taken into consideration during the process.

The incumbent officer process will involve the following: • providing an application or resume to ensure personnel files are up-todate and to address any Ontario Health and Safety Act or Ministry of Labour concerns regarding previous work experience, training, etc. This step also informs the chief that the officer is interested in continuing to be an officer; • a brief (approx. 30-minute) written test booked with the chief at a time convenient to both parties.

Again, this is to fulfil the township's obligation to ensure there is documented knowledge of the skills, experience and abilities required of an officer; • an "interview" with interim fire Chief Bell (which will be considered as the annual personnel review for 2018), and will be mandatory for all officers moving forward.

Public information meeting Residents of Lanark Highlands have organized a public information meeting to discuss the matters taking place within the Lanark Highlands Fire Service; it will take place Monday, July 23 at 7:30 p.m. at Timber Run Golf and Country Club (154 Caldwell St.). The purpose, according to a poster circulated on Facebook, is to "show support for Chief Rothwell and Station Chief Closs and demand council reverse management's decision to have them terminated."

The Music Circle purchases Arts in Motion

What it means for Perth performers in the arts When Taisha Lesser first launched the Music Circle in 2016, she never thought she would be looking at expanding her business before the two-year mark. Nonetheless, she's about to dive into a transition that will turn her music business into an all-encompassing arts studio offering music, dance and theatre.

This new business will be called Omnes Arts Circle.

This expansion happened when Lesser purchased Arts in Motion from Svetlana Timtsenko.

A few months ago, Lesser was approached by Arts in Motion owner Timtsenko who was looking to slowly transition out of her 14-year long business ownership. Lesser and Timtsenko had an immediate connection as they both found common ground in their goal of providing arts education opportunities to people of all ages across the community.

"I was so touched when Svetlana reached out to me," says Lesser. "She's done an amazing job with Arts in Motion, so I'm thrilled that she's willing to help me make this vision come to life."

Though the Arts in Motion name will no longer exist after the business takeover, Lesser plans for it to remain a part of the business framework in Omnes Arts Circle. The new studio will be located in Arts and Motion's current location at 1 Sherbrooke St., and Timtsenko will be staying on to teach many of her regular classes.

"Taisha has the focus and pas-

sion to make her dream for this business come true," says Timtsenko. "Because of Taisha, I'm letting go of this journey with the peace of mind that Perth still has a home for its dancers. I'm grateful for the years of support I've been given by the community, and I can't wait to see how this next stage of the business grows and unfolds."

The future The Music Circle, the Dance Circle, and the Theatre Circle will come together to create Omnes Arts Circle. "Omnes" (pronounced Omm-ness) means "all," which refers to the fact that the new studio will now encompass all of the major performing arts. The name also points toward Lesser's main values as a business owner, which is the inclusion of everyone, regardless of background, skill, or experience.

Timtsenko's dance classes will now fall under the business programming of Lesser's the Dance Circle, with Lesser remaining the lead instructor in the Music Circle. Lesser will soon bring in theatre programming through the Theatre Circle, with plans to focus on movement, character, and storytelling.

Lesser is already working on the operational changes while ensuring the high-quality programming remains.

"The only real change for Svetlana's students is that I'll be taking over the day-to-day operations of the studio, including registration, scheduling and parent communications," says Lesser.

"The Music Circle will continue with the same offerings, and we'll be adding even more classes

ses will open July 20. The Music Circle will continue with its regular summer schedule, offering private lessons and a general arts summer camp.

"I can't express how grateful I am for the support I've been shown over the past two years," says Lesser. "When I think about all the people we'll be able to reach through the new studio, I know the decision to expand is worthwhile."

CARD OF THANKS

On behalf of Neil McDougall and Geneva Donaldson we would like to thank the community, business, friends and family who came together to help support this local family. Never did we expect all the support we have received and continue to receive with donations and kind words.

Good people like you are god’s reminder that there are angels that walk this earth.

Thank you for the kindness and generosity you have shown our family, we will never forget it.

Sincerely The McDougall’s, Donaldson’s and Blaney’s

The family of Tony Ilan would like to thank family and friends who attended Tony’s wake and to all who attended the Celebration of Life for Tony, hosted by Rob Roy’s Pub; the turnout and the love and support we felt was overwhelming. Thank you also to the many people who sent food, cards, flowers, donations to SMA Canada and offered condolences and support to the family.

We especially wish to thank Stephen Blair and the Staff at Blair & Son Funeral Home for their great care and comfort of our family throughout such a difficult time. Thank you to the pallbearers; and to the family and friends who delivered Eulogies at the funeral service. Thank you to Staff and Friends at Rob Roy’s, the Paramedics and the Doctors and Nurses at the Smiths Falls Emergency Department who all worked so tirelessly to try to save Tony’s life. Although Tony struggled all his life with a Congenital Heart Defect, with many heart surgeries; he always managed to pull through so he could continue to taunt, tease and torture his many Doctors, Nurses, and his family. After everything he overcame; now gone too soon, Tony passed away suddenly at the age of 47. He touched so many people’s lives and will be sadly missed by all who knew him.

In Memory of Tony Ilan July 19, 1970 - May 30, 2018

Deadline is Thursday, August 30 at Noon (Taxes Included)

BROWN, ELLEN MONICA (nee Mortell)

Ellen was known to her friends as EILEEN, to distinguish her from her mother, Ellen (nee Wall). Ellen died peacefully at the Great War Memorial Hospital on Friday, July 6, 2018, in her 85th year. She was married for more than 55 years to her loving husband, Maurice Brown. Ellen was predeceased by her beloved daughter, Deirdre. She was preceded in death by her sisters, Mary, Bridgit, Noreen, and by her brothers, John, Eric, and Michael. She was the devoted Mother of Colin (Paula) of Westport and special mother-in-law to Robert Sinclair of Ottawa. Ellen will be fondly remembered by her beloved grandchildren, Eric Brown, Cora and Neala Sinclair. Left to mourn her passing are Ellen’s brother, Thomas (Kathleen) Mortell of San Diego, CA, Sister-ln-Law Teresa, of Toronto, nephew, John of Finland, and nieces Barbara, Triona and Bernie of the USA. She will be fondly remembered by Sisters-In-Law, Barbara Brown of St. Catharines, On, Margaret Brown of Magherafelt, Northern Ireland, Brother-InLaw, Alan (Heather) Brown of Antrim, Northern Ireland and the many members of the Brown families in Northern Ireland. Mrs. Brown was born in Limerick, Ireland on May 4th, 1934. She successfully completed her years of education in Dublin, Ireland. Ellen graduated as a Registered Nurse from Hospitals in Dublin and obtained her midwifery certification at The Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast, Northern Ireland. She emigrated to Canada in 1960. Wedding bells rang as she married the love of her life, Maurice, in 1962. By the mid 60’s, Ellen Monica devoted herself to the raising of their two children as she put her career on hold.

Though as the children grew, Ellen committed herself to worthwhile initiatives such as serving as a Councilor of Lanark Highlands for over a 12-year term and acting as the principal moving force for the development of The North Lanark Community Health Centre. She was a faithful member of the congregation at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Lanark. To honour her wishes, cremation has taken place.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Saturday, July 21, 2018, at 11:00 am at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Lanark.

Interment will follow at Sacred Heart Cemetery. Family and friends are invited to attend a luncheon reception at Foy Hall afterward to share memories and stories of Ellen’s lifetime. For those wishing, donations in Ellen’s memory can be made to the Great War Memorial Hospital in Perth, Ontario.

Ellen’s funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the care of the O’Dacre Family Funeral Home, Ltd., Perth, Ontario.

Hart, Peter

May 20, 1944 - July 9, 2018 It is with broken hearts that we announce the sudden death of Peter at the Carleton Place Hospital after a short but courageous battle with a very aggressive cancer. He was wrapped in love and support by his family as he made his final journey. Missing him forever is his best friend, wife of 37 years and soul mate Jane. He was the cherished and much loved father of Jessica, Shawn (Kristen) and Colin (Kami). Proud Grandpa of Alyssa and Alex Hart, Cassius and Evie Rose, Avery Hart and her soon to be sibling. Loving brother of Mary-Lynn Tyers, Wendy (Paul Dunn) and Paul (Rina). Dear son-in-law of Roy and Irene Turton, and crazy brother-in-law to their 6 other children and spouses. An avid golfer, he played many rounds at the Mississippi where he had been a long time member. Maybe now he will get that hole-in-one! Peter was known as the Research King, especially amongst his breakfast club buds. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Special thanks to Dr. Rob Courchene, the nurses and staff at the Carleton Place Hospital who were always there for him. Cremation has taken place. At Peter’s request, there will be no service. For those who wish, a donation to the Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital would be appreciated by the family.

He was a good man, a kind and gentle soul.

HEALEY, Ray Raymond Francis Healey, of Smiths Falls passed away very peacefully at his home on Friday, July 13th, 2018 at the age of 97. Born on February 10, 1921 on Connaught Hill, Toledo, Ontario to John William Healey and the former Mary Mildred (Mame) Yates.He grew up on the family farm at Connaught Hill, near Toledo and was educated at Mitchell School and Athens High School. Ray worked on the family farm until he was 18 years old. He was instrumental in having hydro installed at the farm, and was one of the first farms to receive it. Ray and his first wife Donna Burns, worked tirelessly along with Monsignor O’Hearn and many families to see the first Catholic School (St. Joseph’s), in Toledo come to fruition. Ray was the inaugural and proud chairman of the school. He was an active member of the Elvin Lockwood’s Orchestra for some 20 years or more. He played the saxophone, fiddle, and piano in the musical group and entertained at many dances and marriages throughout the former Lanark, Leeds & Grenville counties. In the following years Ray turned his attention to working at a cheese factory for five years in Plum Hollow. In addition, Ray and his first wife Donna ran a mail route in Toledo for 15 years. Ray commenced transporting children to school in 1945. He remained in the bus business for over 40 years. It was 25 years ago one of Ray’s sons, Frank began working at the business alongside Ray and today there are over 100 school buses, safely transporting children to and from school. On October 24, 1984, Ray was selected as “Business Man of the Year” for his outstanding achievement in business, a great personal contribution to the community. All at the same time he acted as Hydro Commissioner in Smiths Falls for 14 straight years. He is a proud Past President of the Smiths Falls Rotary Club for over 30 years, and was highlighted by becoming a Paul Harris Fellow, on December 18, 1992, in recognition of his long and faithful service to the Rotary Club and the community. Needless to say, he was a high achiever, gaining a sense of well-being from many successes.

Donna, Ray’s first wife passed away in 1981.

He re-married in 1985 to Margery (Marge), and has been married for 33 years. Ray leaves a great legacy to his wife Margery and his family of 7, Greg (Mary-Ann), Frank (Kate), Mark (Brenda), Jerome, Mary Louise (Hendrick), Mike (Kara), and Pat. He cherished his 21 grandchildren and 6 greatgrandchildren, along with his only surviving sister Catherine. He is predeceased by his siblings, Phillip Joseph, Bill, Bern, Blaze, Yates, Neil, Phillip Charles, Cecil, Madeline, Rose, Elaine, and Doris. Ray was a man of faith and very much aware of his humble roots, and so thankful for each and every day.

He did not attribute his successes to himself, but always had a great perception of how he had been so blessed and guided throughout his life. Ray’s family would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Hendry, hospital staff, care partners, family and the community of Smiths Falls for being so supportive to Ray and his care. Friends paid their respects at the Blair & Son Funeral Home, Smiths Falls on Tuesday, July 17, 2018 from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated at St. Francis de Sales Church, Smiths Falls on Wednesday at 11 a.m. A reception followed the Mass at Hanley Hall, and interment will take place thereafter at St. Phillip Neri Cemetery in Toledo.
