The Town of Perth will start accepting applications for the annual Perth Community Grant on September 4TH, 2018.

The Perth Community Grant provides funding for Perth organizations and groups which undertake events or projects with an eye to community development initiatives, tourism initiatives or economic development concepts, which directly support the Perth community.

This grant provides finite funding or “seed money” for new events or programs. The intent of the grant is to assist local groups as they become sustainable on a long-term basis, and should not be considered a long-term source of funding. Organizations which have not received funding in the previous year will be given priority.

More details about the grant and the application can be found at www.perth.ca/grants and must be completed and submitted on or before Monday, October 1st at 4pm, to Shannon Baillon, Director of Community Services at sbaillon@perth.ca. Late or incomplete submissions will not be accepted.

Applicants should note that all grant funding is contingent on Council’s passage of the budget in early 2019; funds cannot be released until after that time.

Questions can be directed to Shannon Baillon at sbaillon@perth.ca, or 613-267-3311 Ext. 2227, during regular office hours.

LEGAL 'PING PONG' OVER BLUEBERRY CREEK 'SCHOOL' CONTINUES

Gail Gavan, The Ryan Bros, and Valley Friends

Supporters of the Blueberry Creek Forest School and Nature Centre were in attendance for a public meeting in Glen Tay on Aug. 14 about zoning changes that they felt would impede their ability to continue to operate.

In an online statement published on their Facebook page on Aug. 13, the school's founder, Robyn Mulcahy, wife of LanarkFrontenac-Kingston MP Scott Reid, wrote that a proposed comprehensive zoning bylaw amendment, which might have changed the definition of what constitutes a school, meant "we would meet the vastly expanded definition of 'school.' Schools are not permitted in a floodplain," and her facility is within the Blueberry Creek flood plain area.

Tay Valley Township retained the services of Steve Pentz of the Novatech land-use planning firm, to deal with the amendments, and he made a presentation in the council chambers that evening, according to an email exchange between this newspaper and Larry Donaldson, the township's chief administrative officer, dated Aug. 16. While stressing that "no decisions are made at public meetings," Donaldson added that the "planning

consultant advised that the amendment could be revised to not include the proposed changes to the definition for 'school' and that the decision would be up to council as it is not a mandatory part of the legislation."

The revised amendments will be presented to the township council's committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 4.

"The overall purpose of the amendment is to bring the zoning bylaw into conformity with the official plan, which was updated in 2016," and that amendments need to be passed within three years of the plan's passage, wrote Donaldson. He conceded that "the amendment addresses a few zoning matters of local interest," while also intending to "correct errors and improve clarity," especially on matters like tiny houses and home-based businesses, and mapping updates on flood plains, which also affects the Blueberry Creek school.

The first draft amendment was presented to council in April of 2018, and an open house was held last month on the proposals.

It has long been Mulcahy's contention that her facility is not a school but rather a not-for-profit community service. The proposed amendments would have See INDECISION, page 13

Lanark County, in partnership with Valley Heartland Community Futures Development Corp.

(CFDC), is set to launch a business retention and expansion (BR+E) project that aims to build and strengthen local business.

The project, delivered by Valley Heartland CFDC, will benefit from $28,450 in funding under the Community Innovation stream of the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario's Eastern Ontario Development Program.

"Statistics from 2016 show that in Lanark County, 85 per cent of our employment comes from small businesses, so it's very important that we nurture and support our business community, and what better way to do that than a BR+E project," says Lanark County Warden John Fenik (Perth mayor).

The initiative consists of recruiting and training volunteers to visit businesses and conduct confidential interviews/surveys with senior management or owners. These face-to-face meetings will be key to understanding the challenges and opportunities that businesses face daily. The goal is to build capacity for continued BR+E among the participants, and the information gathered through the process will inform strategic action planning and implementation.

The information collected will also be vital for long-term economic development planning to support continued business retention and expansion and inform the development of community policies, programs and initiatives to support businesses, including those provided by Valley Heartland CFDC. "The BR+E project is in direct response to the recently completed Lanark County economic development strategic plan 2018-2020 that identified a countywide BR+E as a key priority action for implementation under the theme of supporting entrepreneurs and business owners," says Kurt Greaves, Lanark

County chief administrative officer.

The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs will also play a significant role through the use of its BR+E Tool. The tool provides guidance and training on established interview framework for gathering business development da-

ta in Ontario. The ministry BR+E program was first introduced in 1998 and has since seen more than 230 communities participate, with more than 8,100 businesses interviewed across the province.

In the Thursday, Aug. 16 edition of The Perth Courier, in the story "Perth town hall to consider citizens advisory committee for parks," Coun. Judy Brown was quoted as saying that there had been a proposal to set up a second community garden at Stewart Park, which the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) turned down.

There was never a proposal to put in a second garden at Stewart Park - the proposal was, instead, to expand the existing community garden at Last Duel Park. In addition, the RVCA did not turn down the proposal, and the garden was expanded. Also, in our Thursday, Aug. 9 edition, the story, "Long wait is over as former student Adam Reid returns," Reid's friend was listed as Jeff Mills - his friend is in fact Brad Mills, the music director at St. Paul United Church in Perth.

Also, PDCI's principal, Kellie Weir-Burtt did not reach out to Reid until later in the interview process, though vice principal Diana Stroud did reach out early on, and he only spoke to Matt Wallace after he accepted the position.

Also, while Reid will be teaching music full time for the first semester, he is technically on contract, part-time to start, and only to Grade 9 and 10, "with plans to expand to vocal, guitar, Grade 11 and 12, depending on the initial success of the 9/10 section," wrote Reid in an email to this newspaper. In the second semester he will be running extracurricular classes for credit, clubs, and supply teaching at PDCI, and other schools in the Upper Canada District School Board.

The Perth Courier apologizes for the errors and any issues they may have caused.

COUNCIL

LETTER PROMPTS DISCUSSION OF LANARK COUNTY YOUTH CENTRES FUNDING ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com Lanark County council isn't making any changes to how the five youth centres in the county are funded, for the time being.

The matter prompted discussion Aug. 8 during the county's community services committee meeting due to a June 11 letter to Warden John Fenik and council members was received June 11. Coun.

Shaun McLaughlin (Mississippi Mills mayor) asked for the item to be pulled for more discussion.

"I need to see some sort of action or discussion around this and a staff explanation of what we're doing with the youth centres.

This is confusing," he said.

The letter, from Kevin Clouthier, co-chair of the Lanark County Planning Council for Children, Youth and Families, asked for sustainable funding through a non-competitive

model for the youth centres - Mississippi Mills Youth Centre, Lanark Highlands Youth Centre, YAK Youth Services in Perth, Carleton Place & District Youth Centre, and WAK Youth Program in Smiths Falls.

"We recognize that the five youth centres provide a core community service, and that the work these centres do with youth is, in part, a successful mental health, addiction and youth-justice prevention model as well as a great place for recreation, skill building and asset development," Clouthier stated in his letter. "We are truly lucky to have these cost-efficient models of service, and applaud the county's leadership in funding of these services."

Specifically, Clouthier wants to see the youth centres removed from the community grants program of which they have been a part for the past two

years. In 2018, a total of $248,934 was available through the program and the youth centres accounted for $200,000 ($40,000 each).

"Currently, we are funded through the two-year community grants (program) but for long-term planning, growth and development this is challenging," Clouthier's letter read. "We urge you to reevaluate the community grants program, remove the five youth centres from the competitive process and return to the sustainable base funding that enable centres to do great work at a relatively small cost."

Coun. Jane Torrance (Mississippi Mills Coun.) noted she has a pecuniary interest in this as she volunteers with the Mississippi Mills Youth Centre. "But I would like to see a staff report because I don't feel I can debate it at this point because of my involve-

ment," she explained.

McLaughlin felt there should be a discussion about ongoing funding. " ...

If funding is turned off, these youth centres are probably going to close," he said. "It's a very important part of our community."

Deputy clerk Leslie Drynan explained that historically, the funding for the five youth centres came out of the county's social services budget, but that changed in 2016 when they were transitioned to the community grants program.

"We make them (youth centres) apply, so really it is a competitive process.

That ongoing funding annually is at risk and this council or a future council can always consider reinstating that funding," she stated.

With the municipal election looming and county council in a lame duck period, Fenik pointed out

that council wouldn't be able to do anything about the situation as they can't authorize any expenditures over $50,000.

"It's up to the council of the day. We cannot entrench funding for the youth centres or anything else," he said. "I'm totally on board with a funding model for the youth centres. It's appropriate and needs to be ongoing for the next four years, but it's really kind of redundant because it's up to the next council."

Noting he shared Clouthier's sentiments, Coun. Louis Antonakos (Carleton Place mayor) questioned whether it's reasonable to make the youth centres compete for funding.

"It's a question of whether or not we can or can't change the policy within this term ..." he said. "I'd be fully supportive of a staff recommendation and report to the next council

that's elected ... it would be a great way to introduce the newly elected council to the youth centres and municipal politics."

McLaughlin pointed out that it was within "this council's ability to recommend to the next council the importance of youth centre funding."

But Coun. Richard Kidd (Beckwith reeve) said if the funding model was changed for youth centres, other associations may have issues.

"Every one of them is going to write us letters asking to change the funding for them as well. We have to ride it out ... leave it the way it is and put it in as part of the orientation for the new council ..." he said.

Community services committee chair, Coun.

Brian Stewart (Lanark Highlands mayor) suggested the matter be deferred until 2019 budget deliberations and the new council is in place.

BROKEN PROMISES ALL TOO COMMON Don't make promises you can't keep.

The classic song by Three Dog Night has a simple message, but unfortunately it's one that politicians all too often ignore.

And when you mix in an electorate that demands unrealistic promises, you have a recipe for disappointment and cynicism.

The buck-a-beer promise made by Conservative leader Doug Ford during the recent provincial election campaign comes to mind. As does the 10-cent reduction in gas price pledge. As well as the revoking of the sex-ed curriculum.

Many beer-drinkers across the province have been excited at the prospect of buck-a-beer since it first became an election issue.

But it won't be long before disillusionment sets in. The brewery industry has already realized there is much froth but little substance to the promise.

If Ford's gang really wanted to give us a $1 beer, they'd drop taxes on pints, not expect brewers to either provide it at a loss or come up with a new cheap rotgut brand (or smaller cans).

How is reducing the minimum companies can charge for beer from $1.25 to $1 going to give us buck-a-beer when the best we get now is a $1.60 beer?

Given the rapid rise in the popularity of craft beers, it's not likely there will be much of a market (or stomach) for any beer that costs less than $1 to make.

Same goes for cheaper gas. If the provincial government really wants to give us a 10-cent break on gas, drop the taxes. Despite Ford’s promise, gas prices in Ontario are about 20 per cent higher this summer than they were last year under the tax-happy Liberals.

Then there's the new government's promise to scrap the school curriculum for health and physical education (or sex-ed to those obsessed with the sex-related material part of it) and replace it with something more “age-appropriate.” But there isn't enough time to properly consult with parents before the new school year begins.

So it's unlikely we'll see a full repeal of the sex-ed part of the curriculum, which will infuriate a small but vocal group of Conservative supporters for whom the sex-ed issue is paramount.

Let's not get carried away with expectations. It's hardly a matter of our homegrown minister snapping his fingers and it will be done.

The new government is facing some serious challenges when it comes to bringing the province's finances under control. It's not going to be as easy as our premier seems to think to find all the savings he has promised.

Despite Ford’s promise, gas prices in Ontario are about 20 per cent higher this summer than they were last year under the tax-happy Liberals.

WHO WE ARE

HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW YOUR CANADA? INTRIGUED BY A MYSTERY LETTER, LAURIE WEIR RE-DISCOVERS SOME HISTORY LAURIE WEIR Column

I received a letter in the mail Aug. 17. I always enjoy receiving letters – be they hate mail, for print, or a thank you card (these are rare gems that are treasured!) but this one was a mystery letter, addressed to ‘Editor Ms? Laurie Weir and Staff’ – yes, the question mark beside the honourific was a cute touch.

There was no return address, nor was it signed.

One of the stipulations for letters to the editor, if they are to appear in print, is that they need to be signed.

There also needs to be a phone number so that we can call the writer and verify it.

There were some stickers – stars on the front of the envelope, a singing bird on the back, along with a shiny ‘Canada’ sticker, under which the writer had penned in red ink and un-

derlined, ‘THE MAGNIFICENT LAND.’ Intrigued, I opened it, found a letter and a card. It was a note card, pink with swirls, and inside was written: “Kindness is like a boomerang, it always returns.

Enjoy your day, from a glad and grateful Canadian.”

I opened the orange piece of paper and found the hand-written note, entitled, “Do you know your country, CANADA? There were some triviatype questions that I read aloud, and not many were answered by myself or the newsroom staff in the office today.

So I ask you dear reader, how well do you know your Canada?

1. Where is the Norman Bethune Memorial House?

2. Name five fathers of Confederation.

3. What is The Queen’s Plate?

4. Where is the Bush Pilots Memorial?

5. Name the Chief of the Blackfoot who signed Treaty 7.

6. Who were The Riders of the Plains?

7. Name Canada’s highest mountain, and for whom it was named.

8. What and where is Rideau Hall?

9. Name five islands in our Artic Archipelago.

10. What and where is The Golden Boy? 11. Who was E. Pauline Johnson?

12. Who designed the outstanding Vimy Memorial?

13. Who was Sir Samuel Cunard?

14. What and where is the Tower of God? 15. Name 10 Canadian Rivers.

16. Where are Peace, Spirit, and High rivers?

To find the answers, I resorted to Google, and my entire column can be found with the answers on our website: www.insideottawavalley.com.

STEPHANIE GRAY GETS RECHARGED AT THE LAKE. STEPHANIE GRAY Column

Almost every summer we rent a cottage for a week. It's usually fairly close to home so Groomboy can do some chores that are easier to do when no one is there - such as painting the bathroom (especially when you only have one).

It also means it's easier to look after our various creatures without having to recruit people - although Myrtle the Turtle and the fish in particular don't seem fussy about that. And Ramsey the cat is happy as long as someone feeds him and says hel-

lo.

The cottage is where I recharge and I look forward to it every year. I go to the water and I immediately feel peaceful. I dip my toes in and my imagination is automatically free to take me back to when I was a kid and we camped, and I swam, fished and frolicked. I sleep well because of the fresh air and I read books and take lots of nice deep breaths.

When the kids were much smaller, cottaging was magical for them, too like most things are when kids are little. There was a constant flurry of waterrelated stuff - swimming, fishing and canoeing and looking for critters.

I remember at one cottage there was a reedy area populated by a hungry water snake. Girlchild was (surprisingly) fascinated when the snake devoured a frog, and she spent many hours looking for frogs

and watching for the snake - observing Wild Kingdom for real. She follows in my swampy footsteps.

Not surprisingly, though, things change. It reminds me a bit of when Boychild was a baby. Just when I would get used to his routine, it would change. One of the hardest adjustments I found was related to naptime. When he started giving up naps, it felt like I was being pulled kicking and screaming into a new reality. OK. I'm exaggerating but not much.

Cottaging is kind of the same. The new reality is the kids today want the WiFi. They want to be in almost constant contact with their friends.

So while I am perfectly content to sit on a dock with a book and dip in and out of the water, they are not so much. And while I continually ask for companions to go fishing and

NO Batteries of any kind in Your Recycling or Household Garbage!

canoeing, they are not as eager as they once were.

I'm more likely to find them watching TV or things they have downloaded on their screens.

Unless friends come over. Fishing with friends is more acceptable than with Mom. As is general frolicking in water. Campfires continue to be popular because, well, fire.

I'm not being totally fair, though, because Girlchild is still showing herself to be an intrepid swamp kid and water baby.

We tether floaty things together and I observe while she shows admirable balance, climbing upon the floaty to do actual backflips into the water (gymnasts, I tell ya.) And every day, late into the evening, she fills buckets with frogs and minnows and crayfish. She names her favourite ones and then releases everyone so critter catching can be repeated the

next day. That's my girl.

It's hard to say how cottaging will evolve over the next few years as the Short Ones (who are no longer short but I haven't thought of a good collective term for them yet) get summer jobs or other interests. Vacations in general tend to get trickier. Perhaps they will have adequate data plans to help them stay somewhat amused lakeside.

Maybe, just as I did when naptime disappeared, I will have to adjust to new ways of recharging. You might actually have to truly drag me kicking and screaming away from the cottage, though. It could get ugly.

PROPERTY DAMAGE CAUSED IN PERTH Dear Editor, This letter is meant for the driver of the black Dodge truck, who, about 1:30 p.m. on Monday, July 30, swerved entirely off the road and totalled my civic number sign at the end of my driveway.

My assumption could be that you were a distracted driver (texting?) and on meeting another car, lost control, hit the sign, backed up, spun your wheels and took off. There are wheel marks!

I am sure you are aware that distracted driving is against the law but do you realize how lucky you are

that it was only a sign post that you mangled, and not one of the many joggers and cyclists that use this road on a daily basis.

By the way, you also caused property damage amounting to $70 to replace the sign.

PERTH COUNCIL URGES BETTER SIGNAGE FOR TRUCKERS DRIVING THROUGH TOWN Coun. Ed McPherson isn't letting life pass him by, but a recent afternoon in the park showed him just how many trucks were passing him by on Gore Street.

"I can't believe the number of trucks in the downtown core," said McPherson during Perth town council's committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 7. "We have to get on this. I don't know why we can't use signs to say, 'No trucks on Gore.' We own the streets," he said, stress-

ing that signage was essential to "get the trucks off of the main street," he said.

Coun. Jim Graff said that he has been on the other side of the steering wheel, so to speak, as a tractor-trailer operator for 15 years.

"The last thing they (drivers) want to do is go down Gore Street," said Graff. "It's an accident waiting to happen."

He agreed with McPherson that there should be better signage, including a warning sign

at the Wilson Street intersection with Leslie and Isabella streets warning truck drivers of the upcoming turns they will be required to take.

"As soon as (environmental services director) Grant (Machan) comes back from holidays, we have a lot to talk about," said Graff. (Deputy Mayor John Gemmell, who was chairing the meeting, did ask Graff to give Machan a day or so to get back into his office and get caught up on phone calls and

emails.)

Coun. Jim Boldt said that any maps handed out by the town needed a "blazing orange line depicting the (truck) route," he said. "The time for action is now."

Coun. Judy Brown agreed that "signs are the thing" but that many truckers use GPS maps now to navigate their routes. Town hall has approached the GPS companies, she said, "but they won't change the route," they recommend to get through town.

DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com Tay Valley Township is working on plans to raise Christie Lake North Shore Road so that it can better withstand any future floods.

A public house will be held this Saturday, Aug. 18, at the township offices in Glen Tay, from 9 to 11 a.m., to allow members of the public to learn more about the township's plans for the road.

Reconstruction of the road is slated to take place next year, in the summer or fall.

"Specifically, the township has received funding from the province to rehabilitate the portion of the

road that had to be closed as a result of flooding damage during the spring 2017 flooding season to preflood conditions," wrote the township's chief administrative officer Larry Donaldson on Thursday, Aug. 16, during an email exchange with this newspaper. "However, instead of simply rebuilding the road to (the) same elevation as before, the township is planning to raise the existing level of the road to 0.15 metres below the 1:100 year flood plain. This elevation minimizes the impact on the lake and existing residents while providing the minimum elevation for emergency access."

There had already been plans afoot for this stretch of road, as well as "larger

stretch" of Christie Lake North Shore Road heading toward Lanark County Road Six was schedule for a rebuild in 2020 anyway, "so the plan is to put all of the required work together into one project and complete it all under the same contract, which should provide some cost reductions and void doing the project in phases over some years."

The township will be making an application to the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund "in the hopes of securing funding for all or at least a portion of the unfunded work."

The road will look different in other ways as well, with the finished road including a six-metre wide driving surface and a onemetre paved shoulder on

both sides "to provide better/safer pedestrian and cycling access," wrote Donaldson, as well as a "direct connection," to County Road Six. Donaldson cautioned though that "everything is subject to funding, and the new council will need to deal with the funding issue early in the new term so that the township can proceed with final design, permits, approvals, and tendering in February of 2019."

Should funding not fall into place, "then the project may need to be scaled back accordingly, however, there is much preparatory work that needs to be completed in order to meet the 2019 construction schedule."

As we reported last year,

Desmond Devoy/Metroland A portion of Christie Lake North Shore Road remained flooded out on the afternoon of Wednesday, May 17, 2017. the flooding on Christie Lake was exacerbated by a decision by Parks Canada to release water upstream, which caused historic flooding down at the lake, resulting in a repair bill of roughly $5,000 to the township at the time. (Bathurst Second Concession road was also flooded out.)

North Shore Road was flooded out. All told the flooding, which began around April 21 of last year, saw 82 residential properties and three small businesses experience damage from flooding. Several privately owned bridges, like the one at Jordan's Cottage Lane, were swept away or made impassable at the time.

OTTAWA REDBLACKS, FURY FC BRING 'A' GAME TO CANCER KIDS AT CAMP QUALITY DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

insideottawavalley.com

R0013021901

Two teams, two different sports, but the same goal - to bring a smile to kids at Camp Quality.

Members of the Ottawa Redblacks Canadian Football League team and the Ottawa Fury FC soccer team arrived at Camp Quality, a camp for kids with cancer, on Monday, Aug. 13, which was held at Providence Point, Lanark Highlands Township.

Redblacks Mike Klassen, Mossis Madu, Mark Korte, and Evan Johnson were joined by the Fury's Tony Taylor, Sergio Manesio, Gabriel Balbinotti and Eddie Edward, for a late-afternoon session of racing campers through a bouncy-castle obstacle course.

A smaller contingent of athletes, with some new camper friends,

snuck away to TP the cabin reserved for teenage boy campers, covering the place with balloons and toilet paper.

As Redblacks' mascot Big Joe strolled the grounds, players took time to practise soccer and football skills with the campers.

The RedBlacks had a bit of a spring in their step, having defeated the Montreal Alouettes on Saturday, Aug. 11, 24-17.

They took on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers Friday evening, Aug. 17, winning 44-21 to lead the East division with a 6-3 record.

As for the Fury, while they were in the land of country and western music, they were singing the blues on Friday, Aug. 10, getting defeated 2-0 by Nashville SC. They faced the Richmond Kickers Wednesday, Aug. 15, at TD Place and turned in a 2-0 performance.

defined a school as "any facility which has a body of students and teachers, and which provides primary, elementary, and secondary or adult education courses of study." This definition would also have covered "private schools," whether or not they are "for-profit or not-for-profit."

However, the ongoing legal tussle between the 'school' and the township has not taken a summer vacation, with letters continuing to fly between lawyers on both sides over the future of the facility off of Highway 7, west of Perth.

Legal 'ping pong' In a letter dated Tuesday, June 5, Mulcahy's lawyer, S. Craig Halpenny of the Barker Willson law firm in Perth, wrote to lawyer Tony Fleming of the Kingston law firm Cunningham, Swan, Carty, Little & Bonham LLP, who represents the township.

"Although my client is firmly of the belief that the current use of the subject property is compliant with the uses allowed in the zoning bylaw, she proposes as follows: 1. To remove the name 'Forest School' from the name under which she will operate and to hereafter operate under the name Blueberry Creek Nature Centre; 2. To incorporate the activities of the Blueberry Creek Nature Centre and to hereafter operate through a federally incorporated, not-for-profit corporation."

Fleming responded with his own email on July 5, with a proposed site plan agreement attached.

"I have added to it with

"I have confirmed with staff that this agreement is something that they could recommend to council," though he cautioned that "I cannot predict what council might do," but noted that "I think this would be the only way to resolve the dispute between our clients."

While Fleming had suggested that the township may take court action against the school this past spring, he wrote that "while we are working through this, I will hold any court application in abeyance." Hoping for an August council consideration, Fleming wrote to Halpenny that, "it goes without saying that this offer must be held in strict confidence - council has not seen this agreement."

A proposed agreement could then be brought to council, Fleming wrote, and, "What I can do is ask

council if they would be prepared to consider the application as a way to resolve the dispute."

In a July 23 reply letter to Fleming's July 5 letter about the proposed site plan agreement, Halpenny wrote that "my client finds the proposed site plan agreement unacceptable, for the following reasons."

Firstly, "the intervention of staff," was cited as one of the stumbling blocks, because Halpenny accused them of "withholding ... information from council," which she saw as "the primary source of disagreement and misunderstanding between council and my client."

Halpenny added that, as such, it was "inappropriate" for township staff to tell Mulcahy to keep the site plan agreement offer "in strict confidence," from township council, and added that "it is a condition of any further negotiations that council be kept fully informed of any negotiations involving my client."

Halpenny's other problem with the proposed site plan agreement was that it

ELECT

"allows a use of the land that the township has, in the past, argued is unlawful." Since the place has since been incorporated as a federal, not-for-profit entity, he felt that this objection was met.

"The township's only remaining objection was the distinction you had drawn between 'promoting' education, which you said was lawful, and 'delivering' education, which was claimed to be unlawful.

But under Section 3 (d) of the offered site plan agreement, one of the permitted uses of the land would be 'providing education experiences for the public and children through plan and exploration and fostering ecological literacy and healthy living.' The site plan agreement cannot make lawful an activity that is unlawful under the zoning bylaw. It seems obvious that 'delivering education,' and 'providing educational experiences' are exactly the same thing."

In a July 25 email to members of the township council, Mulcahy reiterated her lawyer's position.

"I believe this site plan agreement was made in bad faith," wrote Mulcahy.

"I do not believe we need a site plan agreement as we are compliant with the current use of the land as a community service for the purpose of education." She added that the proposed art studio "has been left exposed to the elements since the stop work order was issued in November 2017. We have been prevented from obtaining a permit for a new bridge over Blueberry Creek that would make our land safer for all."

INDECISION CONTINUES OVER BLUEBERRY CREEK SCHOOL

NEWS

RVCA EXPANDS ITS OWN 'FOREST SCHOOL' AT FOLEY MOUNTAIN, WHILE PRESSING PAUSE ON BLUEBERRY CREEK 'FOREST SCHOOL'S' APPLICATION DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) regulates the flood plain on which the Tay Valley Township's Blueberry Creek School and Nature Centre sits while also operating its own nature school.

In an online post on the nature centre's Facebook page, dated Monday, Aug. 13, the centre's founder, Robyn Mulcahy, the wife of Lanark-FrontenacKingston MP Scott Reid, claimed that the RVCA was working on opening up its own forest school at Foley Mountain in West-

port, "with exactly the same program that we offer ... How can the RVCA be a regulatory body over use with such an obvious conflict of interest?"

In an email exchange with this newspaper, dated Aug. 16, Diane Downey, communications manager for the Manotick-based RVCA, wrote that the RVCA does indeed operate the Foley Mountain Forest School program.

"The program started this spring as a drop-in for families with children of all ages," wrote Downey.

"The program will continue this fall with a new Forest School kindergarten program for children three to six years of age

for one or two mornings a week."

The planning for the Foley Mountain school began in 2016 "to supplement outdoor education programming," which as been offered by the Foley Mountain Conservation Area since 1976. "RVCA staff have watched as the concept of 'forest school' evolved at other conservation authorities and outdoor education sites across the province. It is an obvious fit with our existing programs, philosophy and mandate."

Downey did concede that "the programs may be similar. The Forest School philosophy follows key education concepts,

but, as you can imagine, teachers will bring their own unique delivery to the program."

Downey said that the RVCA's only "motivation," was to "create generations of citizens who appreciate and care for the natural world."

Conservation Authority issues Also in her Aug. 13 letter to planners at Tay Valley Township, Mulcahy claimed that "we have not received any notice from (the) Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) approving our application submitted (in) November 2017 for our art studio build."

One of the outstanding points affecting the future of the nature centre is that it sits in a flood plain - and schools are not permitted in flood plain areas.

Mulcahy has stated in the past that she is aware that she needs to raise the bridge that connects her school across Blueberry Creek to Highway 7 so that it can withstand a one-in-a-hundred-year flood. Mulcahy wrote that she had contacted a firm in September of 2017 "to raise the bridge by a metre, which would be 18 inches above the 100-year (flood) mark." This, however, can only be done between August and September, as per the RVCA's wetland protection guidelines.

"As our land has been under a continued stop work order, we have been unable to submit any plans to do so," Mulcahy wrote.

Downey replied that the RVCA did receive Mulcahy's application, on Dec. 1, 2017, and it has been reviewed, and "is on hold pending clarification of the proposed use of the building and the permitted uses under the township's zoning bylaw." She added that Mulcahy had listed the "existing and proposed use of the property is 'commercial.' Initial discussions with the applicant indicated that the use of the building would be for the sale of antiques. That was subsequently changed to an arts studio and, more recently to the school. It is our understanding that a school is not a permitted use within this zone."

The RVCA is aware of the ongoing discussions between the school and the township.

Downey pointed to the provincial Planning Act, which she said "is very clear in this regard: development is not permitted on hazardous lands (floodplain) where the use is a preschool, school nurseries, daycares, and schools." These regulations, mirrored in the conservation authority's own rules, "are intended to limit the risk to children,

school staff, and first responders should there be a flood event. Safe access to and egress from the site is not available during a flood event due to flooding over the private laneway and bridge."

The RVCA can only proceed with Mulcahy's application after the zoning issues have been resolved, though Downey cautioned that Mulcahy may need to submit "a revised application," and that while the RVCA is ready to move "as quickly as possible," the authority has "been forward in providing information about what can be done and can't be done under provincial regulations at this location."

Within the township's official plan, passed in 2016, "the Blueberry Creek floodplain has been recognized as a constraint ... and is proposed to be zoned as floodplain in the township's draft comprehensive zoning bylaw," wrote Downey. The school being located within that flood plain means that Mulcahy "requires a permit from the conservation authority for this development ... The Blueberry Creek floodplain has been subject to regulation since 2010. RVCA has been working with the owners since November 2017 to help them understand the regulation and permits required."

COMMUNITY

WINDING PATH LED PRESBYTERIAN MINISTER TO ST. ANDREW'S DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com No flash of light, no voice from the heavens, no burning bush.

For Rev. Stephen Dunkin, the interim moderator at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, he came to Jesus in the still, quiet darkness of a residence room at Queen's University in Kingston.

"I didn't become a Christian until I was in university," said Dunkin, even though he was studying commerce. He earned his degree "but never used it," he said, at least, not in the way it was intended.

In time, "I invited Christ into my life and that changed the trajectory," he said.

In his third year, he took a class on the New Testament, through the religion department at Queen's.

Though born in Hamilton, Ont., he spent the first 11 years of his life in Port Credit, now part of Mississauga, west of Toronto.

After his conversion, in 1971, he was appointed to serve two little United churches, at Tatlock and Clyde Forks, for five months that summer.

"That confirmed for me that I was called to the ministry," he recalled. "In some ways, it was the most extraordinary five months of my life."

It was the first time that he preached, and he conducted his first funeral service - which was, interestingly, the first funeral service he had ever attended.

This past July 22, he attended the Tatlock church's 125th anniversary celebrations and again took to the pulpit to preach.

In 1973, he began attending seminary at the University of Toronto's Knox College, and, while still studying, became minister to four small churches in the vicinity of Creemore. Racing between services, he would begin at 9 a.m., then 10:30, then noon, with a final service at 7 p.m. On Monday, he would return to his classes in Toronto for four days, with Fridays reserved for essay writing, and Saturdays reserved for sermon writing and hospital visits.

He kept this up for two years.

During his final year of studies, he moved to Toronto so as he could take the streetcar to school, though he still preached at two churches nearer to the city. By 1972, he had married and began a family.

He was ordained in 1976, and was sent to Warkworth and Hastings, before being moved to Chip-

pawa Presbyterian Church in Niagara Falls. This move was to be one that challenged his faith.

"How do we reach outside of the church?" he asked upon his arrival on the Niagara Peninsula, to reach out to the "unchurched or (those) fallen away from the church? I wrestled with that."

The congregation struggled with it too.

"I went back to my commerce roots and I started doing marketing," he said, even penning a book called, simply, Church Advertising, because, "nobody had written anything on it." He took out ads in the Niagara Falls Review, though made sure that they did not run on the religion page.

While the flood gates did not necessarily open with a torrent of faithful, there was "a slow trickle of people coming to the church," to begin to fill the pews.

But his newfangled ways did not sit well with everybody.

"It was difficult for people within the church who were not used to those methods," he said.

Moving away from a more traditional church setting, he wanted to bring in people so they could feel "the power and reality of Jesus Christ," and become not mere members of a church, but to have a relationship with Jesus, "which, in my books, is the most important part of life."

His new ways did not come

without a cost.

"There was a split," he said. "I lost half of the leadership," and with it, a portion of his congregation.

"We fell significantly behind," he said, as some of those members joined other Presbyterian churches.

At the end of his five years in Niagara Falls, he was emotionally and spiritually drained. He moved to Gananoque and started a construction contracting business, doing renovations and building cottages. In his youth, he had helped his father and uncle build a cottage, and worked for a time erecting prefab cottages, though he had "no formal training."

But while he was building more earthly homes on lakes in the area, the House of the Lord came calling again, when Strathcona Park Presbyterian Church in Kingston "asked if I was interested in coming back into the ministry."

He moved to Kingston and spent six years with that congregation, but, after a while, he shifted gears again, helping form Barnabas House Christian Ministries, where he served as executive director for 11 years. He was clear that, in this "prayer ministry," he and his volunteers "did not try to be psychologists, or psychotherapists, or social workers."

Desmond Devoy/Metroland Interim moderator Rev. Stephen Dunkin stands outside of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Perth, at the intersection of Drummond and North Streets on Wednesday, Aug. 1.

People would come for prayer help, and "we were there to counsel them and pray with them through their problems."

In many ways the ministry, separate from any formal church, re-energized his faith.

"I learned more about ministry in those 11 years than I had in all the years previously," he said.

"It was quite a change," he admitted. "Things have changed in terms of ministry. Decline had really set in in those 11 years," he had been away from formal church life.

He stayed in Toronto's inner suburbs for four years before he

and his wife retired, and moved to a cottage on the Big Rideau.

Around the same time, St. Andrew's current leader took medical leave and "I was asked to do some preaching here," in the interim.

When it became clear that their regular pastor would not be returning, Dunkin was asked to serve as the interim moderator for two years - since extended to three (he is at the end of his first year in Perth).

DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com Perth's Central Wire Industries (CWI) may finally have a chance to catch the ear of the federal government.

According to a press release issued by the Town of Perth on Tuesday, Aug. 14, federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau has announced the launch of a 15-day consultation process for seven steel products that have been hit by U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs, such as wire rod, stainless steel wire, and steel plates.

"This process will investigate the possibility of the implementation of safeguards such as import quotas or surtaxes that would prevent or limit the dumping of inexpensive steel goods from off short countries," wrote community services director Shannon Baillon.

"I am pleased to learn that these hearings will be taking place," the town release quoted Mayor John Fenik as saying. "The Town of Perth fully supports these public consultations and hope it will result in safeguards that will protect our steel manufacturers."

In a press release from CWI issued the same day, the company, led by president and CEO Paul From, stated that it was "extremely gratified to learn" about the development,

how the federal government is "contemplating the initiation of a safeguard investigation and the imposition of provision safeguard measures on a variety of steel products, including stainless wire."

After the American government imposed Section 232 tariffs on steel, "the likelihood of offshore (steel) product being 'dumped' into the Canadian market has risen exponentially," the company statement said. "If left unattended, this potential dumping would become reality and would threaten the very existence of many Canadian businesses."

The company commended the work done not only by Fenik, but Lanark-FrontenacKingston MP Scott Reid and MPP Randy Hillier.

The company also commended the federal Liberals, including Morneau, "and his team in Ottawa, (who) have taken the time to listen to CWI and have worked actively on our case."

It even commended Prime Minister Justin Trudeau "for his true leadership and guidance as this tariff issue has continued to take shape, and for listening to Canadian business, both large and small."

CWI has about 85 employees at its Perth factory on North Street, and the company noted that "it is CWI's continued hope that progress can be made with respect to the global nature of our business and industry, but specifically, the cross-border relationships between Canada and the USA." But the company added that, in its view, "safeguards remain one of the few hopes Canadian companies have of ensuring the continuation of a level playing field in the aftermath of the U.S. steel tariffs."

OPINION

HOW CAN WE HELP IN THE PERTH AND AREA COMMUNITY? SOMETIMES WE NEED A LITTLE HELP IN LIFE, WRITES REV. KEN DAVIS KEN DAVIS Column

In big cities where many visible and vulnerable people ask for help, passersby have wondered whether they are helping or perpetuating someone's problems if they drop a loonie in an old coffee cup or guitar case.

Back at home or with friends and

at church they might ask a deeper question "What can I do? Or, how can we really help people who don't have enough in our community?"

Here in Perth our questions might be the same, but we don't always see the needs of those who live without stable or adequate housing or don't have enough healthy food to last the month. As a leader of a Christian church in Perth I can tell you that in addition to social service agencies, churches in Perth and Lanark County both see and hear from many of those who are asking for and needing help. Even though fewer people participate in churches and some even have

forgotten the ongoing role of the church in helping those in need, people still seem to know there will be a compassionate welcome if they bring their needs to the church.

There was a time (and a few churches still operate this way) when members entrusted to their pastors a sum of money to confidentially assist folks in need at their discretion. A few of us also set aside every cent we receive as thank offerings after funerals and weddings for this kind of discretionary help. In recent years most churches have directed their resources elsewhere to reach more of our neighbours.

Having long advocated for

many of the government assistance programs (which we all fund through our taxes) local churches and members have also continued to look for new ways to help.

Our neighbourhood churches were partners in founding what has become the Table Community Food Centre and many individual members continue to support the growing work of the Table with money, food and donations of time and expertise.

Would that everyone in Perth knew about the good work the Table does through its good food bank, community dinners, healthful food preparation programs, after school programs, community gardens and peer advocacy for all who come to 190 Gore St. We are grateful to our

brothers and sisters at the Salvation Army for the work they do on Tuesdays and Thursdays in Perth. And many have been blessed with the devoted sacrificial care and assistance offered by the Rev. Shirley Abrahamse at His House on North Street.

If you are still wondering how you can help someone whose circumstances include insecure housing and health care, inadequate food resources or no one to listen and advocate for them, consider directing your support to these organizations directly or through a church near you.

Rev. Ken Davis is the pastor at St. James the Apostle (Anglican) Church in Perth. He can be reached at stjamesperth.rector@gmail.com.

Back by popular demand, cellist Paul Marleyn and pianist Frédéric Lacroix will be performing at the MERA Schoolhouse on Sunday, Sept. 9, at 2 p.m.

This is the first of three Blue Jeans Classical Music series, with the Trifecta Trio on Oct. 14 and American pianist Mark Valenti on Nov. 11.

After hearing this duo last year, a number of the audience raved about their performance, their mastery of their individual instruments, and their casual, informative comments about the music, their instruments and the composers. Some listeners claim it was the best classical performance they had ever attended.

High praise, indeed.

As well as teaching their individual instruments at the University of Ottawa music department, both Marleyn and Lacroix perform solo and play with other musicians in the Ottawa area.

This after having brilliant careers onstage around the world with acclaimed orchestras and fellow musicians.

As always, there will be refreshments available at Wizards Café before the performance and at halftime.

Tickets are $25, plus convenience fee, and can be purchased in person at Tickets Please, in the visitor information centre at the Matheson House Museum, 11 Gore St E., Perth. Tickets can be ordered for pickup at the door, by telephone 613-485-6434 or online www.ticketsplease.ca. Tickets at the door are $28, and students 16 and under are free.

106 WILSON ST.W.PERTH,ON

Desmond Devoy/Metroland And they're off! Runners taking part in the Glen Tay Block Race, 2017 edition, take the first of many steps along their way from in front of the Matheson House Museum in Perth, on their way to Glen Tay, in Tay Valley Township, and back, on Thursday, Aug. 31, 2017.

GLEN TAY BLOCK RACE AWAITS STARTER'S PISTOL FOR AUG. 30 RACE DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com On your mark, get set for the 2018 Glen Tay Block Race.

As ever, the annual 14.7 kilometre race will be held on Thursday, Aug. 30, at 6 p.m. sharp, and is sponsored by the Perth Royal Canadian Legion, branch 244, and members of Saltos Gymnastics Club will be involved as volunteers on race day.

Gore Street East between Foster and Herriott streets will be closed off from 5:45 to 7:30 p.m. that day so drivers are advised to take other routes.

Runners who have run their

race will be able to partake of water and oranges in the gardens of the Matheson House, and there will be several water stations along the way.

You can register online through events.com, but you can also register by mail or in person.

The race fee is $20, though if you register on race day, the fee is $25.

Race day registration is cash or cheque only.

The race begins and ends in front of the Perth Museum (Matheson House), at 11 Gore St. E. It sets off down Gore, left onto Isabella, then right onto Wilson Street, heading north to Sunset Boulevard.

InsideOttawaValley.com and scroll down to the bright green box 'Like Our Stories?

Sign up for our newsletter!' After clicking on the ‘Sign Up’ box, simply fill out the three fields and you’re done.

Runners then head west, as Sunset turns into Christie Lake Road. At Glen Tay Road, runners turn left, and head south until they reach Scotch Line Road, where they turn left. Then it's a dash east until a left turn onto Gore Street East for the home stretch.

Over the years there have been records set, such as the fastest men's time of 45:14, set by Steve Boyd of Kingston in 2003, while the fastest women's time was Helen Cooper of Ottawa who ran the course with a time of 54:35 in 1982. The fastest time before Boyd was held by Perth native Doug Scorrar from 1976 to 2003, with a

time of 45:30.

The first run was held on Thursday, Oct. 31, 1907. Perth Collegiate Institute athlete Ed Code won the race with a time of 52:43 (in an interesting historical hiccup, Oct. 31 that year was not only Halloween but also Thanksgiving Day). Back then, the race was eight miles long, and was not a block, but an out-and-back race, according to the race's website.

The modern incarnation of the race was revived in 1967 as a Centennial year project, and was shepherded by Perth educator and coach Tom Graham. It has been run on the final Thursday in August ever since.

STUDIO THEATRE'S LATEST UNCONVENTIONAL THRILLER LEAVES YOU GUESSING As any seasoned theatregoer knows, murder mysteries generally start off with a bang, then wend their duplicitous way, via clues and misdirects, to the doorstep of the murderer.

It's a comfortable, time-honoured formula.

But don't get too comfortable ...

The Business of Murder, premiering Sept. 6 at Perth's Studio Theatre, is a murder mystery that, yes, leaves you guessing breathlessly to the end, but does so in an intriguingly unconventional way. Written by the great Richard Harris (the screenwriter famous for A Touch of Frost and The Avengers, not the Guinness-loving Irish actor), this thriller features just three actors.

With such a slim cast it's a safe bet that all three will somehow get their hands dirty. But what shape will their infamy take?

Trying to whet an audience's appetite for a murder mystery is tricky: give

NO

too much detail and you betray the plot, too little and you don't set the hook. Suffice it to say that The Business of Murder is a tantalizing stew comprised of murder, revenge and betrayal, with other delicious bits of intrigue thrown in for spice. The play's director, Lucas Tennant, who recently helmed the Studio Theatre's wildly successful production of the thriller The Game's Afoot, says he's never seen a plot quite like this one.

"The Business of Murder is a mystery that even the venerable Sherlock Holmes would have had trouble unravelling, or his arch nemesis Moriarty concocting," says Tennant.

"Just when you think you've figured it out, one of the characters puts a new puzzle piece on the table. It keeps you guessing, like a riddle you just have to crack, or a great book you can't put down."

The setup is deceptively simple: Stone, a grim, hu-

mourless man, invites Dee, a young female television playwright, to his flat on the pretense of discussing a script. Once there, she is surprised when Superintendent Hallett, the man with whom she is having an affair, also arrives, but for an entirely different reason. Nothing is as it appears, and as the plot twists and turns, Stone's motive for convening this baffling assembly is gradually revealed. They are all, it would seem, in the same business: the business of murder.

"Like any good thriller, there are several different facets to this mystery," says Tennant. "Your head will spin, but you'll enjoy the ride!"

Pulling the levers and pushing the buttons are three of the Studio Theatre's most seasoned actors: Hugh McCulloch (Wait Until Dark, On A First Name Basis, Mousetrap) stars as the enigmatic Mr. Stone; Annie West (Romantic

Portable Propane Cylinders...

allowed in Your Recycling or Household Garbage!

Comedy, Murder By The Book) is screenwriter Dee; and Grey Masson (Old Love, The Cemetery Club, London Suite) plays Inspector Hallett. The play is produced and stage managed by Jane Stott, and the assistant stage manager is newcomer Nicole Terbruge. The set is designed

by Reiner Silberhorn and dressed by Rayna Critchley and Annie West. Props are co-ordinated by Donna Sproule.

The Business of Murder premieres at the Studio Theatre on Thursday, Sept. 6 for seven performances, Sept. 6, 7, 8, 14 and 15 at 7:30 p.m. and Sept. 2 and 9 at 2 p.m. Advance tickets are $24 at TicketsPlease.ca, in the Matheson House Museum Visitor Centre, 11 Gore St. E.

With just three characters, you'll be tempted to think The Business of Murder is an easy puzzle to solve. Of course, you'd be dead wrong. Don't miss your chance to be turned, twisted, spun and hood-

winked by this refreshingly unconventional, thoroughly intriguing thriller.

BARNDOOR'S 'WILLM SHAKSPER' A SURPRISING TREAT AT FULL CIRCLE THEATRE A hundred years ago, H.F. Rubinstein and Clifford Bax's Shakespeare was an adventurous play for its time, daring to imagine William Shakespeare as an actual man, rather than as a legend.

Perth's BarnDoor Productions has taken that now-public domain play and reworked it extensively in light of the many items about the life of Shakespeare that have become known since.

The result is Willm Shaksper, a two-hour journey through the life and mind of the English language's greatest writer.

In five "episodes," the play goes from Shakespeare's first attempts to gain fame in London through his middle years until just before his death in 1616.

Its eight cast members play nearly 20 roles, most of them historic characters; the one or two that aren't may be found in Shakespeare's plays, if you look hard enough.

First nighters offered comments like: "An amazing production," "This play is a marvel" and, "Simply wonderful." In particular, the play's language caught the audience. "When you think of

Shakespeare, you think of complex language. Here it is, but it's just everyday conversation."

Rubinstein and Bax created characters that spoke in Shakespeare's language. BarnDoor Productions' new version extends that into characters who lapse into poetry when needed and back again - all of it perfectly understandable and all moving the play along at a rapid pace.

The set for the show is deceptively simply, starting with the players entering and turning the pile of furniture on the stage into the setting for the first scene.

Just when the audience get used to the idea of the play's skeletal pillars and panelled backdrop showing Elizabethan London, it suddenly is transformed into the enclosed stage of the Globe and then again opened up to show the green fields of rural Stratford.

Each scene change takes about five seconds.

The costumes, by Leslie Henderson Armstrong, with additional pieces by Marilyn Bird and Sarah Cochrane, are a treat for the eyes. The characters, particularly The Dark Lady and W.H., sparkle and shine. The Elizabethan ruffs and collars in-

stantly place the show in its time.

It's the energy and commitment of the cast that make the play work, however. Each cast member has their own moment (or moments) to shine. Ian Jenner gets to play both Ned Alleyne and Richard Burbage, the two greatest actors of their time: the pompous Alleyne is balanced by the sincere Burbage. Tyler Street provides fun in Act One as Poor Tom, a beggar, and The Stage-keeper of the Globe Theatre, before reappearing in Act Two as The Poet, a young man who may take Shakespeare's place, now that Will is old and feeble.

Brian Atterbury is Will Kemp, the most famous clown of Shakespeare's day, so dedicated to his clowning that he wears his motley costume day and night. He also provides some musical interludes at the end of scenes with a charming baritone. As Shakespeare's attorney in Act Two, it's he who draws up Will's will, including the famous item of "my second-best bed" left to his wife.

Slade Stoodley gets to romp through the play as a pair of playwrights and a lord: he is Christopher Marlowe in the first scene

Submitted/BarnDoor Productions BarnDoor Productions' new play Willm Shaksper takes its audience from the streets of Elizabethan London to the rural fields of Stratford on Avon. Here, the stage of the Globe Theatre is the setting, as Young Will (Garrett Pipher, right) oversees a rehearsal for Hamlet, with The Dark Lady (Grace Poltrack, left) and W.H. (Slade Stoodley) watching while The Stage Keeper (Tyler Street, centre) tries to keep up with the demands of Dick Burbage (Ian Jenner, back to camera). (author of Doctor Faustus, among others); W.H., the "fair youth" of Shakespeare's sonnets, in scenes two and three; then Ben Jonson, the only real rival to Shakespeare as a playwright, in scene four.

Ursula Rice-Leech starts off

as Joan Henslowe, the object of Will's transparent attempts to gain favour from her producer father; then she becomes he being she, as actor Dick Robinson, playing The Queen in Hamlet.

CONTRIBUTED Then in Act Two, she is Judith Shakespeare, Will's daughter, who comes to rescue him.

Grace Poltrack is The Dark Lady, a mysterious figure from Shakespeare's sonnets who may have been any of several women. Here, she is Bess, a lady-in-waiting to Queen Elizabeth and she leads Young Will on a heartbreaking ride, before leaving him for good. In a nice twist, Bess pretends to be Shakespeare's Stratford wife, Anne Hathaway, at one point in Act One, and in Act Two, Poltrack returns as Anne, who is every bit the harridan that was predicted in Act One. That leaves a pair of Wills. Garrett Pipher is Young Will in Act One, going from a brash young man willing to do almost anything to become recognized to a disillusioned, angry man. David Bird is Older Will in Act Two, a man who finds his talent leaving him, his life grown desper-

ate and finally, his health gone. Bird's 50year-old Shakespeare is physically almost identical to the portraits we know so well, a costuming and makeup achievement, but it is the performance that makes the role.

Willm Shaksper is something very different from what you will see elsewhere this summer. It is fast, bright, funny, colourful, dramatic, musical, full of delightful characters and wonderful language and a set of performances that bring William Shakespeare to very vibrant life.

Willm Shaksper runs Thursday to Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 1:30 p.m. at the air-conditioned, ground-level, barrier-free Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig St., Perth. Tickets are just $20 reserved. To reserve, call 613-267-1884 or visit www.barndoorproductions.ca. No credit card required; cash at the performance is requested.

MURIEL OLIVE YOST (nee White) Aug. 9, 1927 - Aug. 10th, 2018 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Muriel Olive Yost, beloved wife and best friend of the late Nickolas Yost.

Predeceased by her parents Russell M. White and Myrtle E. (nee Benedict) and by her brother Milford B. White. She is sadly missed by her twin sister Marian Mingham and sisters Hazel Harry, Evelyn White and brother William White. She will also be missed by her many nephews, nieces and great nephews and nieces. She will also be missed by her very dear community of friends in Carleton Place, where she had lived in her home for nearly a half century. She had also lived briefly in Toronto and Ottawa. Muriel was born in Port Hope and grew up on a farm west of Elizabethville in Hope Township. Following graduation from Port Hope High School, she became an occupational therapist. She served with the Red Cross in Japan during the Korean War (1950 - 1953) under the direction of the Canadian Army. She was recognized for her service in this capacity. Muriel was a lifelong and active member of the Canadian Legion and participated in the activities of the Carleton Place Legion Branch and where she had many friends. Soon after returning from Japan, wanderlust struck and she travelled to England to live for a while. Her twin sister Marian came to visit her in England and then stayed to live there permanently, while Muriel returned home to Canada. Muriel was an artisan who specialized in stained glass, painting, crafts and was passionate about gardening. The intricate stained glass works that Muriel and Nick built into their home made it beautiful and special. Muriel very much enjoyed Tai Chi and going to the local gym. She was a philanthropist and over the years has faithfully supported many causes, charities and organizations which supported her beliefs. She loved the theatre and was a supporter at both the local level and at the National level in Ottawa. The twin sisters Muriel and Marian were re-united in Carleton Place for their 91st Birthday on August 9th, 2018. The following day, Muriel passed on.

According to her wishes, Muriel has been cremated and there is no visitation or service.

Muriel valued her privacy and truly believed in her own distinct philosophy of life.

MADDIE “Forever In Our Hearts”

McMULLEN, Loretta August 13, 1999 God saw you were getting tired, And a cure was not to be.

So he put his arms around you, And whispered “Come to Me”.

With tearful eyes we watched you, And saw you pass away.

Although we loved you dearly, We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands at rest.

God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

Always remembered Elmer and girls

Sometimes there is nothing else one can do but smile.

This is a true story about that.

It involves my late cousin, Arthur Garry VanDusen, a song he wrote and a prediction he once made.

You see Garry (he was always known as Garry to me) was a big truck-driving, back hoe-operating, mechanical type of a guy who could fix anything. A couple of his mottos were: "If we can't find the part then we will just have to make it" or, "A car ain't a car unless there's a piece of barnyard wire hanging from it somewhere."

Garry was also a songwriter.

Who would have guessed it? This big, kind of loud-mouthed truck driver -- a love song writer?

Yep. One evening back in 1984, he shows up with the lyrics to a song he'd titled

didn't like this version, but I included it on my Sounds Along the Line CD in 2002 anyway. Just to rub it in, you might say.

I took a "rough introduction" in Garry's voice that he'd taped to introduce an older version of the song and then edited it onto the newer track.

On Jan. 3, 2005, the first anniversary of his death, Linda Elliott announced on CHIP-FM at exactly 4:51 p.m. that she was going to "play a song by Lyle Dillabough."

(Both Garry's CB radio handle and favourite number was 451) And what came on the air?

None other than Garry's voice introducingWeekend Lovers. And sure enough, the song began to play, just like Garry said he would one day do. He introduced his song - in death nonetheless!

Which only tells me one thing: that faith is one mighty force.

And no matter what else we may endure in our lives there are times when all you can do is sit back, wonder, shake your head, and just smile.

Lyle Dillabough is a local musician who writes for the Ottawa Valley newspapers. He can be reached at 613-257-9002 or email: lyleproductions@gmail.com.

LYLE DILLABOUGH Column

Weekend Lovers. It was about a girlfriend he had at the time who he saw on weekends. He wanted me to put music to it, which I did, and it was recorded onto a cassette tape. (Remember them?)

Soon he came up with other songs and one of those was a little ditty called Get Out Lout. This was a phrase, or demand, he'd apparently heard directed his way a time or two over the course of his life.

Garry really loved Weekend Lovers and Get Out Lout. He used to say, "One day I'm going to introduce my song on the bona fide airways!"

The "bona fide airwaves" to him referred to the AM/FM channels where commercial radio stations broadcast.

Garry died on Jan. 3, 2004.

Before he died, he came by my place with a CD that had Get Out Lout on it. I sent it to my friend at CHIP-FM in Fort Coulonge, Quebec. And shortly after, I heard it played on the air. I smiled with a bit of a tear in my eye when I thought of how this tune (recorded on a "ghetto-blaster") somehow found its way onto mainstream FM radio.

However, the best was yet to come.

I recorded a version of Weekend Lovers in Almonte in 2002. Garry

She would be leaving electric lights and flush toilet! But her mother had phoned and said the long summer holidays would soon be over, and her young daughter (who nobody liked at the Northcote School) would very much like to sleep over one night at my house before school started back in September.

My sister Audrey wasn't at all pleased. She would

have to sleep on the creton couch in the kitchen to give up her bed she shared with me. Mother telling her it would only be for one night did little to stop Audrey's complaining.

Marguirite arrived with her mother in their brand new car, and she bounded out with a little leather suitcase, which caused my brother Emerson to wonder if she planned on moving in.

The boys had been warned to behave, and supper, to my complete surprise, went off without a hitch. Marguirite even had seconds.

She and I played house with my dolls until it was bedtime, and then we climbed the stairs, Mother making sure the three boys were settled down first. I saw her wag a finger at their doorway. She didn't have to say a word. They knew what that meant.

I should have known the night wouldn't pass without Marguirite causing a stir.

Mother barely had her foot on the last step going downstairs with the coal oil lamp, when Marguirite said she had to use the privy.

The chamber pot under the bed, she said, was out of the question. Of course, I had to go with her. We passed through the kitchen where Mother and Father were still sitting. Audrey glared at Marguirite from the creton couch.

The trip out to the back house was followed by three others, one right after the other. The fourth time down, Marguirite stopped dead right in the middle of the kitchen floor and started bawling her eyes out. "I want to go home," she wailed. Well, there was no way you could call her mother on the phone at that hour of the night. The ring would waken the entire neighbourhood of Northcote.

Father knew what he had to do. He pulled his overalls

on over his long underwear, while Marguirite tore upstairs to get her genuine leather suitcase, passing Audrey who was on her way upstairs to reclaim her bed.

By the time Father got the old Model T out of the drive shed, Marguirite was already outside on the back stoop.

Everyone but Audrey was wide-awake, and Mother said there was no reason we all couldn't have a cup of hot chocolate before going back up to bed. By the time Father got back, the old kitchen clock was just about to strike midnight.

Emerson said we might as well stay up the rest of the night and play euchre.

Father never said a word.

Looking like a thunder cloud, he headed right into the bedroom off the kitchen. Mother said at breakfast the next morning, he didn't even stop long enough to take his clothes off.

OPINION

RAIL PASSENGER OPTIONS IN CANADA SADLY LACKING DECLINE OF RAIL SERVICE HAS BEEN DIFFICULT, WRITES JEFF MAGUIRE. JEFF MAGUIRE Column

In Carleton Place, where we live, there are a few remaining tributes to the town's once proud railway history.

One wall of the former Edward's Grocery store at the corner of Franktown Road and Coleman Street features a large mural depicting "the last train to Carleton Place."

Town Council here was

wise enough to purchase the local railway station which was once such a hub of activity in the community. Our station escaped the fate of so many others across Canada which have long since been demolished.

Nearby another large stone structure is now home to the Canadian Cooperative Wool Growers which, among other things, is a clearing house for the vast majority of wool produced in Canada.

Previously the expansive building was a railway roundhouse and repair centre. The Wool Growers' owners have been good enough to incorporate what amounts to a small railway museum featuring photos, advertisements and railway paraphernalia from the past.

Sadly there are no longer any railway tracks in Carleton Place. Soon after they closed both local rail lines had the tracks removed.

The corridors have since been turned over for use as public trails.

I have always been a huge fan of trains. I've travelled extensively on them in Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Continental Europe. So for me the decline of passenger rail service in this country has been difficult to witness.

Trains are such a fast, costefficient way to travel and much of our region is crying out for light rail commuter service. With no tracks and the right of ways turned over for other uses the likelihood of that happening is virtually zero!

Last week my faith in

train travel was renewed when my son Craig and I took a baseball trip to Toronto. We travelled to and from Canada's largest city using Fallowfield Station in Ottawa, near our son's Barrhaven home. On the way to Toronto the VIA train arrived exactly on time! Three days later we were 20 minutes late travelling home but we couldn't have cared less. The train was comfortable (far more comfortable than an aircraft for example) and the amenities and services were excellent.

The problem is how limited passenger rail service is in Ontario and across the country.

Our nearest station is in Smiths Falls, a 20 minute drive south.

VIA Rail claims to serve more than 450 communities

across Canada. But a quick check tells me there are nearly 3,600 places in the country that are subject to some form of municipal government.

I'm sure those municipalities can, in many cases, be subdivided into multiple communities.

On visiting Regina, when my daughter and her family lived there, I was shocked to find the city is not served by VIA Rail. The capital of Saskatchewan and the province's second largest city has no passenger rail service. I was told the best VIA Rail option is in Saskatoon which is nearly a three hour drive.

We are fortunate to live close to the Quebec CityWindsor rail corridor, the busiest passenger route in the nation. At its best VIA Rail is excellent in my expe-

rience and I highly recommend it.

For most Canadian communities, however, passenger rail and commuter rail service is an unattainable dream. I think that is disgraceful, especially considering the times we live in when removing as many motor vehicles as possible from our overburdened highway system could provide a major boost for the transportation network as a whole and ultimately help our environment.

These are this week's featured pets at LAWS: Hi my name is Momma1 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. I think a quiet home with a regular routine where I can quickly get in the swing of things would suit me best. I do enjoy multiple short play times but my favourite past time is lounging in a comfy bed or box with towel. I prefer to have all four paws on the floor, but would happily sit beside

ers and I'll be sent to Perth Pet Valu, with my three siblings, on Friday, Aug. 24 for the adoption weekend. I am a whirlwind of energy and quite entertaining to watch while I race around chirping to myself. I am extremely curious and rambunctious. It would be great to be adopted into a home with at lease one of my siblings or a home with another cat or dog. I grew up in a foster home and my foster mom loves to snuggle with me as she listens to my happy purr.

Hi, I am Boots and just two years old. I am a bit of everything you'd expect from a kitty. I enjoy a bit of quiet time, but I am no couch potato. I enjoy my catnaps and I like affection, but I am content to entertain myself until you're ready for me to warm your lap. I guess I am just a little bit of all good things wrapped up in a gorgeous fur-coat that needs regular grooming to keep me looking pretty.
