It was a highly interactive show that involved kids, the first magic trick was to make any boredom on a late August day disappear. Pert's performance involved not only common tricks of the trade, so to speak, like making a rubber ball disappear, rope tricks, and the magic rings, but also sight gags as well. The show was just one of several such activities put on by the library as part of the TD Summer Reading Club

PRESENCE OF WEST NILE VIRUS FOUND IN MOSQUITOES IN PERTH The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit has been actively monitoring mosquitoes for West Nile Virus (WNV) this season. The recent sampling in Perth has identified mosquitoes carrying West Nile Virus.

This virus is spread to humans by the bite of an infected mosquito.

The risk of illness from WNV is low; most people will not develop any symptoms if infected. About 20 per cent of those with WNV may experience flu-like symptoms including fever, headache, muscle ache and rash. Less than one per cent of infected individuals will de-

velop meningitis or encephalitis.

This is more likely to occur in those over 50 years of age and those with medical conditions or weakened immune systems.

"The Municipality had vacuumed out the catch basins in June of this year as part of annual maintenance," says Ronald Ladd, Chief Administrative Officer in the Town of Perth. "We are working with the Health Unit to determine if any further action is required at this time."

Dr. Paula Stewart, Medical Officer of Health for the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark region advises,

"Reducing standing water in your yard can prevent mosquito breeding grounds and will reduce exposure to mosquitoes that may carry West Nile Virus."

The risk of exposure to WNV around the home can be reduced by: · Eliminating mosquito breeding sites (including standing water in places such as bird baths, eaves troughs, tires, flower pots, kid's toys and wading pools); · Wearing protective clothing (light coloured clothing, long pants and long sleeves, as well as shoes and socks) during peak mosquito

times to prevent mosquito bites; · Using mosquito repellent when outdoors at dawn and dusk.

Apply insect repellents sparingly to exposed skin. Effective repellents contain DEET or Icaridin. Be sure to follow directions and use age appropriate concentrations.

DO NOT USE personal insect repellents on children under two years of age; · Preventing mosquito entry into the home by repairing or replacing old and torn screens in doors, windows, and vents; · Using netting when sleeping outdoors or in an unscreened

structure; and, · Protecting children under 2 years of age from insect bites with netting when outside Consult your health care provider if you suspect that you have an insect transmittable disease such as West Nile Virus.

More information regarding this disease and its symptoms can be found on our website: http://healthunit.org/healthinformation/home-health-safety/ insect-bites-diseases/ You can also call 1-800-660-5853 or connect with LGLHealthunit on Facebook and Twitter.

PETITIONER HOPES SIGNATURES WILL SEE NEW FIREWORKS DISPLAY TO LIGHT UP TRUCKS PULLED OFF OF GORE STREET EAST PERTH FAIR'S 173RD SUNDAY NIGHT DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com A Perth petitioner is hoping that the 44 signatures she collected will start the momentum needed to get trucks off of downtown streets.

In an email exchange with this newspaper on Monday, Aug. 20, Perth resident JoAnne Perreault said that, on a recent Friday afternoon earlier this summer, she walked up and down Gore Street East "asking merchants," if they supported getting trucks off of the road, "as well as a few pedestrians I came across."

More specifically, the petition seeks that town hall will "enforce the proposed alternate routing for ... aforementioned heavy transport vehicles," she wrote.

The petition was presented as part of the town council committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 7. She followed up on Aug. 21 when she met with town clerk Lauren Walton, and, later that same day, Mayor John Fenik, about bringing this issue back to council on the Tuesday, Aug. 28 council meeting.

While new pedestrian crossings are being constructed on Gore Street East at Herriott and Basin streets, the issue of trucks downtown was still front and centre at the Aug. 7 council meeting.

DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Desmond Devoy/Metroland A transport truck executes a sharp turn from Gore Street East onto Craig Street on the morning of Tuesday, Aug. 21. The driver was likely grateful that there was no traffic in the left-turn lane on Craig Street as the turn was made, allowing for a wider turn.

Perreault said that Fenik told her that there were plans to build a bypass from Craig Street to Highway 7 to divert truck and other traffic from the downtown core in the future, in the meantime, he wanted to get new signage up and set up an alternate route in the interim.

"I am planning to address this at the next COW (committee of the whole) meeting," wrote Fenik in a text message exchange with the Courier.

Back on Aug. 15, Perreault expressed her concerns about the trucks "giving off their own special blend of unpleasant sounds and aromas, not to mention how they are degrading the founds of Perth's historic buildings and damaging our roads and public property."

If summer has to end, then it's great to end it off with a final flurry of fun, with a new fireworks display planned for Sunday night.

The annual Perth Fair will return to the fairgrounds for the Labour Day weekend, starting on Friday, Aug. 31, and running until Labour Day itself, Monday, Aug. 3.

While the official opening is not until 6 p.m. on Friday, the fair begins at 11 a.m. with the dairy breeds and junior showmanship show, with the midway opening at noon. There is also a new day and time for the truck pull - 7 p.m. on Friday, and there will be a new fireworks display at 9:30 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 2.

COUNTY LEADING THE CHARGE WITH COMMUNITY SAFETY PLAN ASHLEY KULP akulp@metroland.com It's been in the works since 2016 and now Lanark County and Smiths Falls have a Community Plan for Safety and Well-being.

Stephanie Gray, member of the plan's steering committee, presented the final document to county council during its Aug. 8 community services committee meeting in Perth who supported the plan in principle. It was forwarded to the Aug. 29 county council session for final approval.

Gray said a lot of work has been done to get to this point, but it was important to maintain a "regional approach."

"That meant taking a look at the services that are available and the constituents we serve," she noted.

Throughout 2016 and 2017, research and consultation was done to identify assets, issues and prevalent risk factors. Once they were outlined, strategies were developed to try and fix them. The final draft, a 51-page document, was approved by the steering committee, which includes representation from the justice, health care and education sectors, as well as community organizations and youth, on July 4.

Gray pointed out that this com-

munity safety plan is a requirement under the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services' new Safer Ontario Act, which came into effect on March 8 of this year. She indicated Lanark County is leading the charge since regulations aren't expected to be enforced until January 2020. Local municipalities wouldn't need to adopt the plan until two years after Jan. 1, 2019, but they would each have to pass a motion at their respective councils. " ... We're in a really good position with this because even though we started before the legislation was enacted, we worked to follow guidelines that were provided by the ministry related back to ... the Ontario Working Group and that group included chiefs of police, the ministry and a number of different sectors," she explained.

Twelve priority risk areas were identified through the process: mental health, housing, substance abuse, poverty, transportation, health and well-being, domestic violence and sexual assault, youth and families, seniors, justice, Indigenous health and well-being, and culture and diversity. Under each of those issues, Gray explained, includes background surrounding the issue, existing assets

and actions for each "in terms of social development, prevention, risk intervention and emergency response."

"Something that is consistent throughout all of the risk factors is making more of an effort to ensure there's co-ordination and understanding of what's out there and what's available and promoting it a little bit more," she added.

Gray said some of the suggestions in the plan have already come to fruition. " ... I think it's also important to note that this is a living document that is constantly evolving and has already evolved," she said. "Two things that I could draw attention to are the fact that we now have funding for a mental health nurse through the OPP. That was something identified in the plan and the funding has come through ... another thing the plan references is the development of a child advocacy centre and Open Doors recently announced that it received funding for a child advocacy centre."

She expected the plan would have a three-year cycle initially, but would eventually be tied into the four-year term of municipal council. With the new Conservative government in place, sections of the act are under review, but

Gray isn't concerned about the plan being removed.

"In my opinion, it almost doesn't matter because we've got a plan, we're going ahead with it," she stated. "We started without the legislation, if it's a good thing we can continue working towards it. That's kind of the angle I'm considering."

With the municipal election looming in October, Gray suggested county councillors support the plan in principle and forward it to local councils for consideration.

Coun. Richard Kidd (Beckwith Reeve) asked for an amendment that the plan be sent to member municipalities after Jan. 1, which was endorsed. " ... I'm afraid if this goes to councils at this time, it could become a political football," he said.

"I agree, Jan. 1, 2019. I think that's a really good point," added community services chair, Coun.

Brian Stewart (Lanark Highlands mayor).

However, Coun. Louis Antonakos (Carleton Place mayor) wondered if the plan should be entrenched in the county's Official Plan because there's no obligation to follow it unless it's in that plan. " ... That to me is where it belongs, in the Official Plan document, and that to me is the only way to truly test whether we're going to implement and maintain what the document says," he stat-

ed.

Coun. Keith Kerr (Tay Valley reeve) suggested a better spot for it would be the county's Sustainable Communities Official Plan.

"I'm in complete support right now, but feel we're jumping ahead of this motion and thinking about how we're going to take it from just endorsement to action," added Coun. Jane Torrance (Mississippi Mills Coun.).

Warden John Fenik, who is also a member of the steering committee, congratulated members on being forward-thinking with the plan.

"While we're in a lame duck situation, this doesn't involve any money or any hiring and firing," he said. "I wanted to say thank you to Stephanie first for the amount of work that's gone into this. This is a 51-page document and it's all geared for crafting a path and a journey to make all our communities in Lanark County healthier." " ... It means reduced calls for OPP service, less police involvement ... if the provincial government decides this is no longer mandated legislation, it doesn't make a hill of beans to me because this is about Lanark County and what we've developed here."

Fenik added that he has spoken with members of the Eastern Ontario Wardens' Caucus who are interested in seeing the document.

VIA RAIL STATION FOR PERTH STILL IN PLAY: FENIK DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

ly) within 24 months of (getting) newly elected," Fenik said during an earlier interview on Monday, Aug. 20. "There are some troubling things that are going on," with the new Ford administration, such as cutting the size of Toronto city council, or cancelling the Basic Income Guarantee trial projects, he is hopeful that the Progressive Conservatives calling for more "autonomy for municipalities," could only help the case for installing advance turning signals at the intersection of Highway 7 and Drummond Street.

"If we can't get that done, we've got some problems," said Fenik. He added, in disbelief, "it's a turning light!"

Via Rail Canada is continuing to insist that Perth will have its own stop on the proposed Peterborough to Smiths Falls route.

Proposed maps seen by Perth Mayor John Fenik last year show Peterborough getting its own station along the proposed High Frequency Rail (HFR) route from Peterborough to Ottawa - via stations in Tweed and Sharbot Lake but not Perth.

On a day when he met the new leader of the official opposition at Queen's Park, NDP leader Andrea Horwath, at the AMO (Association of Municipalities of Ontario) annual conference in Ottawa, Fenik met with retired lieutenantcommander Jacques Fauteux, director of government and community relations with the office of Yves Desjardins-Siciliano, the president and CEO of Via Rail Canada.

"Perth is still on the radar for a station," said Fenik, the afternoon after his meeting with Fauteux. The rail project is now at the "community consultation phase," said Fenik. "It's still with the federal government ... It's all subject to funding from the federal government."

On the morning of Tuesday, Aug. 21, Mariam Diaby, representing media relations for Via Rail in Montreal, emailed that the proposed "(HFR) route would lead from Toronto to Ottawa via Peterborough and Smiths Falls, mostly along the existing railway corridor. The final route and its stops will be determined in consultation with the communities and municipalities along the line."

Diaby continued that Via Rail had "submitted the business case for its proposed HFR program to the government of Canada in December 2016." Previous federal budgets "provided funds to Transport Canada to further study the HFR proposal. Their analysis is expected to be concluded this fall leading to a government decision shortly thereafter."

Fenik noted that he did not want a "phone-booth type station," he said, preferring a station made "out of limestone, like the station we once had," in Perth.

As a former federal candidate himself, he said he would not be surprised if "they will be making big announcements," about the line in the lead-up to the 2019 federal election.

Not so fast?

While Fenik may have been assured, Paul Langan, president of High Speed Rail Canada, is less so. The leader of the "citizens advocacy group for educating Canadians on high speed rail," pointed out that the map that circulated in 2017, with proposed stations shown for Peterborough, Sharbot Lake, and Tweed, culminating in Smiths Falls, was never disavowed by Via Rail.

"VIA never once ... stated it was inaccurate," wrote Langan in an Aug. 22

email. "VIA is stringing the Perth mayor and everyone along ... VIA basically went to everyone along the line, getting them to buy in and got them to pass resolutions," of support. Langan wondered why the Sharbot Lake station appears on the map, but not Perth.

AMO During his time at the AMO conference, Fenik also met with Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade Minister Jim Wilson, but was unable to meet the new transportation minister, John Yakabuski.

ABOUT US

I recently read Sarah Selecky's new book, Radiant Shimmering Light, and it got me thinking about what has become known in popular culture as "wellness". What does it mean to be "well" and how much should it cost? Are there items you can purchase that will allow you to achieve this aim more efficiently? If there are, count me in. I will gladly fork over my hard-earned dollars to live a more serene existence.

The trouble is, I'm also a bit of a skeptic. My mom always told me that if something seems to good to be true, it usually is. How amazing would it be if rubbing lavender essential oil on my feet before bed helped manage my insomnia, or if taking a specific vitamin cocktail at the first sign of a throat tickle banished the common cold virus? I have spent more money than I wish to admit on these and other items because I want, so badly, for these cures to be true.

Yet in my heart, I know it's all a sham - which is probably why this novel made me literally laugh out loud more times than I can count on my two hands. If anything in this world needs to be satirized, it's the "wellness industry".

It's ridiculous enough to be funny, but also not *too* destructive at the same time.

Unlike the current political climate, which is becoming increasing difficult to effectively satirize because it itself resembles

satire and that's just sad, there is nothing particularly dark and sinister about someone purchasing a vaginal jade egg on a quest for better orgasms. It's not like Gwyneth Paltrow is out to actively harm and mislead people with Goop. She makes (A LOT OF) money selling an aspirational brand. If people want to pay twice as much for a bottle of water that's not stripped of electrons, and that makes them feel better and healthier in their own skin, there is nothing particularly *wrong* with that - but few of us would deny it deserves to be mocked.

Moreover, at what point does profiting from your passion become off-putting commodification? Who is really at fault for the appalling number of people who waste an astonishing amount of money on largely ineffective wellness products? Are those who profit from them evil marketing overlords or are these consumers responsible for their own regrettable purchasing choices?

Perhaps more to the point: if questionable wellness-related purchases genuinely make one happy, and maybe even offer a slight benefit (even of the placebo variety) is there really a huge problem here?

Some people waste their money on beer, others on essential oils. I've never heard anyone accuse craft beer makers of being evil marketing overlords. So what is the difference here, really?

WHO WE ARE LETTERS & COMMENTARY WRITER ENCOURAGES OTHERS TO VOICE OPINIONS ABOUT DOWNTOWN TRUCK TRAFFIC RE: "Perth council urges better signage for truckers driving through town" story in the Aug. 23 issue of The Perth Courier.

After I discovered that a petition to reroute the transport and commercial truck traffic from Gore Street East was presented to committee of the whole meeting Aug. 7 and listed under "requires action" I was encouraged.

I went to speak with Lauren Walton, the clerk to find out what the next steps would be and was informed that in fact it HAD subsequently been discussed and, "the decision was to do nothing."

Sharing that this, for many reasons, seemed a lack of civic responsibility, I asked what I could do to try and move this forward. She suggested a conversation with the mayor. We spoke soon af-

ter and he assured me that this matter was important and he would get it before council again.

In the meantime I had been keeping (the newspaper) in the loop regarding the progress.

Imagine my surprise when I saw the article referenced above presenting the opinion of four council members, evidently very much in favour of getting the truck traffic off of Gore Street East?

I phoned the mayor (again) to share my dismay in what would seem duplicitous behaviour from these elected officials.

I really appreciate the mayor's willingness to engage in conversation with me in a genuine manner.

I asked, "How could the vote to do nothing come from these same council members?"

Mayor Fenik informed me that the petition will be at the next committee of the whole meeting Sept.

4.

He mentioned that it being an election year we should vote for those candidates who we believe

will implement change; and that there are many reasons why something does not move forward and it may not happen this year, it may be next year.

I have spoken with a few business owners since the petition was submitted and I think it's important to share that the council had an opportunity to do something about the very issue they are publicly stating matters to them but in their capacity as a representative of the citizens of Perth chose not to.

After all, it is an election year, should we not ask for transparency from those who seek positions to represent the interest of Perth, its citizens and it's future?

ALWAYS TAKE TIME TO SNUGGLE WITH YOUR PET, WRITES STEPHANIE GRAY STEPHANIE GRAY Column

I'll be honest - I struggled a bit the week after the cottage holiday. Not only did I miss the dock and the lake, but I was feeling gloomy and anxious.

The trouble with unwinding is the subsequent winding up.

There was a lot of stuff on my to-do list when I got back to civilization, and it all seemed to need attention at once.

My brain and my gut weren't co-operating about priorities, which was unsettling. The news headlines were awful and

depressing. All of the adulting I had to do involved uncertainty and indecisiveness.

I really loathe adulting.

That left me feeling yucky. I kept waking up super-early to worry about things. Sleep deprivation is unhelpful.

Also unhelpful: When I was at the cottage I managed to hurt my back - you know, by bending or something. It went "ping," and there has been swearing and misery ever since.

So, on top of being gloomy and anxious, I was also feeling sorry for myself.

I found myself getting snippy. I was jumping to hasty/wrong conclusions about things. I broke a couple of my personal rules: 1.) Don't assume it's about you - it probably isn't (it hardly ever is) and 2.) Use your filters, people.

That woke me up a bit.

It reminded me of something my friend Cookie says that never fails to put things in perspective for me: "Did anybody die?" Asking that question has become one of my rules. (Stop. Think.

Then speak/act.)

My list of rules gives me a boost if I manage to assemble my wits enough to embrace them. The wits assemblage is the hardest part, but once I start, things fall into place.

What got the ball rolling this time was the "Get with your peeps" rule.

Reach out to your tribe.

Remember there are people who will catch you and remind you that everything will be OK. Be near them. They might even give you a mug that says so.

I had been looking forward to getting back to karate after my holidays.

My wonky knee was feeling good, my irritable ten-

don was happy, and a sore shoulder was improving.

Since I couldn't bend or kick or twist because my back had decided to be the new unreliable body part, getting on the mats seemed like a bad idea.

I commiserated with one of my senseis about being broken. He reminded me of the importance of making the best of one's situation and that it could always be worse.

It's a rule to remember.

A hard one, but a good one. (Complaining is bad for us - there are studies.)

So, I watched the class instead. At least I could be with some of my peeps.

There are a few activities that I turn to that help me to unwind, and since sitting on a dock wasn't an option and the weather had turned cooler, I baked.

Baking is a go-to activity for comfort, but it is important to avoid consuming all the product as

comfort food.

So, I whipped up a batch of cookies and took them to work. I was quite popular for the day. It's fun to share, and I'm pretty sure I didn't gain any weight.

Cookies are kind of magical. (That's why I try to take them to meetings.)

There are lots of other rules that are important.

Exercise/be active (carefully) even when you are broken. Get outside even if it is raining and there is no dock. Be kind to people even when they don't seem to deserve it. Always stop to listen to your children even when they are ranting. Always take a moment to snuggle with your kitty.

The week got better.

PERTH HEALING FOREST MEMORIAL UNVEILING AT LAST DUEL PARK SEPT. 30 The public is invited to join the Healing Forest Committee, and special guests on Sunday, Sept. 30 for the unveiling of Perth's Healing Forest Memorial to the children who were taken away to residential schools and the many children who did not make it home to their families.

The memorial also remembers the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-Spirit people. This permanent monument will stand as part of our community's commitment to reconciliation.

In January 2017, two invited speakers at the Table Community Food Centre captivated many of their listeners: Patricia Stirbys (Cowessess First Nation, Saskatchewan) and Peter Croal (Geologist with the Canadian International Development Agency) had met at a walk to remember Missing and Murdered Indigenous

Women and Girls.

From this serendipitous encounter emerged the idea for the creation of a lasting memorial, The Healing Forest.

At first the plan was to establish a single forest in Canada where people could gather in ceremony to honour and remember but as the project evolved, Stirbys and Croal promoted the creation of multiple Healing Forests across the country.

Over the last 18 months a site was found, a rock chosen and a plaque designed using the Healing Forest symbol with wording in both Anishinaabemowin and English.

The project received community and municipal support and now we proudly announce the dedication of the site.

The ceremony will be held in Last Duel Park on September 30 at 2 p.m. Refreshments will be provided by The Table.

They are: Sylvia Pride, Dennis Riggs, Rick Gooderham, Don O'Reily, and Joanne Cassidy. being effective changemakers through peer coaching and group workshops that include videos, engaging activities and exercises, and sharing their own experiences.

Being a program of The Table, participants also share a meal every week.

Topics covered in the training include critical thinking and research, power and oppression, campaign planning, media, self-care, how government works, and more.

Former participants of CAT have remarked on how much this program has affected their lives stating, "there is just so much knowledge to gain," and "I didn't realize how many people keep having less and less, " and "I understand much better the help that is available thanks to this program."

CAT participants report more involvement in their communities afterwards, for example, by initiating discussions about homelessness in our community or talking with friends about local poverty.

Many past participants say that the program has helped them find a voice and use it. This is the goal of the program as we hope that CAT group members

will stay on after the training program has ended to join the Lanark County Community Action Network, and continue to work toward making changes on issues such as access to adequate, safe, health, affordable housing, transportation, medical care, and food.

The LCCAN is a group of people living on low income and their allies working toward improvements in the lives of community members. Members from Perth and other areas of the county and Smiths Falls gather at the Table for breakfast and then hold a meeting on the first and third Wednesdays of the month.

The current focus areas of the group are provincial and county housing concerns and the social assistance reform that was recently announced by the provincial government.

The next LCCAN meeting is Sept. 5.

The Table Community Food Centre's advocacy and social justice program consists of several components, each one offering slightly different services and benefits to the community.

These include the Peer Advocacy Office, the Community Action Training (CAT), and the Lanark County Community Action Network (LCCAN) and are an important complement to The Table's food programs as food insecurity is hardly ever an isolated issue for people who must deal with many challenges while living in poverty or low-income situations.

The Table also believes in taking local action and partnering with other organizations to propose and advocate for changes that would address the root causes of the challenges people in our community are facing.

The peer advocacy office provides support and referrals to services for community members with any issue they may be facing. The staff of six peer advocates is available four days a week, when the Good Food Bank is open.

Advocates help people seeking income supports, housing help, mental health support and information about local programs and services.

Our office is one of the few places in Lanark County to get help with utility bills through the LEAP and OESP programs.

As well, the peer advocates help with hosting regular movie and discussion nights, information sessions, and our grassroots open mic nights where we build local culture and community.

The Community Action Training is a 12-week program that brings together community members with experiences of living on low income to learn how to take action on issues affecting them and how to advocate for themselves and others. It builds community members' capacity for

why anyone would want to start killing the cast members?

When Ex-cop turned private investigator Phil Philips (Bill Barretta) stumbles into the first crime scene he gets caught up in the case. As a puppet and ex-cop Phil has expertise that Lt. Banning (Leslie David Baker) thinks will help solve it. The only catch is he has to work with his ex-partner Detective Connie Edwards (Melissa McCarthy).

There's a lot of bad blood between Phil and Connie, but when Phil's brother Lyle (Kevin Clash) is killed everything changes. Phil and Connie will have to wade through the dirt, the muck and the felt to find the truth. A truth so twisted it will rock them to their core.

If the Muppets were a beloved and cherished part of your childhood then The Happytime Murders may not be for you. You have to remember that once you see it you can't unsee it. Puppets get murdered in horrific ways, and perform acts no self-respecting puppet should. However, if you're of a particular frame of mind you may find yourself enjoying the dark and twisted humour of The Happytime Murders. I

can tell you I loved the Muppets, but I was also laughing pretty hard.

Make no mistake this is a disturbing film. If the cast were all human it would be a gruesome crime drama, and X rated. With the puppets though it creates this surreal comedy where you aren't always sure you should be laughing, but end up laughing anyway.

The cast walks an interesting line between portraying serious film noir characters and making them funny.

It's odd, but Maya Rudolph as the classic P.I.'s secretary makes it work. Elizabeth Banks as the ex-actress turned stripper is both sad and funny. Leslie David Baker nailes the grizzled Lieutenant, and then you have Dorien Davies who, as the voice of femme fatale Sandra, delivers both the sultry and the psycho.

As the voice of Phil, Bill Barretta captures the quintessential hardboiled detective. He is also great playing off McCarthy. McCarthy never fails to make me laugh, and I can't think of too many actors who can pull off a gritty crime comedy with puppets.

Brian Henson wants to do something a little risky, a little twisted, and darkly funny. I believe he's pulled it off.

I don't think The Happytime Murders is for everyone, but he has pulled it off.

DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com Imagine if your predecessor decided what you would get paid at work?

With Perth town council now in the midst of a lame duck session heading into the October elections, that was the fear of some council members as they discussed council remuneration during the committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 7.

"I'm not sure about this," said Mayor John Fenik, kicking off a debate which saw every councillor, including those not running for re-election, have their say in how council is compensated. The debate followed the presentation of a written report on the matter by town hall clerk, Lauren Walton.

"It's very difficult to say, in an election year 'I think I should get a raise,'" said Fenik. "I feel I am adequately compensated as mayor," he said, which is more than he could say for the positions of deputy mayor and councillors. He called the deputy mayor position "underpaid," and the councillor position "very underpaid."

Fenik said he wanted to see the decisions taken out of the hands of "'political actors," and put in the hands of, say, "an independent third party."

Currently, the mayor earns $25,673.07 a year, with the deputy mayor earning $14,975.96, and councillors earning $13,905.25 each. The mayor of Carleton Place earns $39,535.09, but Deputy Mayor John Gemmell noted that is a full-time position, whereas every other mayor in the county is considered to be a part-time position, and that council pay in-

Please keep our community clean.

Brown, who is running for re-election to council, said that "it's always been our policy to do it before the election." And, by her calculation, at just under $14,000 a year, counting council, committee of the whole, and other committee meetings, not to mention public events, and answering constituent queries, "it's less than minimum wage for what we do."

By passing a remuneration package now, it is "more arms-length if we do it now," than if it is delayed until December with a "new council ...(that is) inexperienced."

However, Fenik returned to the debate to say that "people at work should be paid a fair salary," and that councillors are "underpaid on this council." In fact, he said that by leaving a remuneration decision to a new council, it could trip them up just out of the starting gate. "(They) will be charged with, 'They got into office and they voted themselves a pay raise,'" he warned.

But McPherson posited that "this argument comes up every election year," and that, in 24 years, he said he has never had a complaint from voters about how he was compensated for his town hall duties. Like Brown, he too had taken a look at what he earned and determined that it worked out to about $8 an hour, less than minimum wage.

creases are tied to the annual consumer price index (CPI). Councillors each have a $3,500 expense account.

The most well paid, part-time county mayor/ reeve was Shaun McLaughlin in Mississippi Mills, while the lowest-paid was Montague Township's Reeve Bill Dobson at $18,029. The most well-paid deputy mayor/deputy reeve in the county was Carleton Place's Jerry Flynn at $24,709.45, while Lanark Highlands Township's John Hall was the lowest-paid at $12,255. And as for councillors overall, the highest paid councillors were found in Carleton Place at $19,767.55, while the lowest-paid councillors were to be found in Montague Township at $12,216 each - though councillors in Lanark Highlands were only $39 a year richer, at $12,255.

Gemmell is running for mayor against Fenik, as is Coun. Jim Boldt, who agreed with Fenik in saying that "I don't think that we, as a council, should be setting remuneration policy for the next council," when it takes office in December.

"This is something we should not be doing."

"This is not the right time," said Coun. Jim Graff, who is running for deputy mayor against Coun. Ed McPherson. "We should not be put in this position."

However, Coun. Judy

at that very moment at the Turner household. If it was not for a few 11th hour nominations, "we almost had a totally acclaimed council," he said.

"The bills need to get paid," Turner continued.

"We want to attract top candidates, not just people who don't need the pay."

Brown agreed with Turner, "we have set up a system" that appears to work against "someone who is not retired or selfemployed to sit on council," she said.

Boldt said that when he first joined council, he voted to repeal the pay raise that the previous council had voted on.

"Nobody supported it but me," said Boldt. "If you're running for the money, don't run." That being said, he asked the question: "Are we paid enough?

council," said McPherson.

"I'm certainly not here for the money ... Pay me more, pay me less, I really don't care."

And he agreed with Gemmell that the remuneration discussion "has to happen every four years."

McPherson did agree that possibly having a trusted local accountant like Howard Allen's firm who handles the finances for the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital, for example - could handle the remuneration portfolio.

McPherson also agreed with Brown that many members of the new council would be inexperienced, and that "it takes four years to really understand what you are doing here," he said.

Out of eight municipalities across Lanark County and the Town of Smiths Falls that were compared, Perth's mayor remuneration was dead in the middle - fourth place, out of eight municipalities looked at across the county. As for the deputy mayor though, only two municipalities paid their deputies less, out of seven municipalities.

And out of nine municipalities, Perth ranked seventh in terms of council pay.

"We're at the bottom of the scale," said Coun. Riq Turner, who will not be on the ballot this October.

With rates like this, "how do you attract younger people to council?" or bring more diversity to council.

"We've set up barricades to people," taking part in local politics. "Anyone with kids at home needs to get dinner ready," he said, pointing to his own wife who was likely feeding their own children

EXPERIENCE LOCAL FLAVOURS, OLD SCHOOL CHARM AT THE OPINICON HOLLIE PRATT-CAMPBELL hpratt-campbell@metroland.com The Opinicon has long been known for its rich history in the Rideau Lakes area.

Located on the lake of the same name, the resort was originally built as a private residence in the late 1870s, and the site opened as a commercial operation in 1921 as the Opinicon Club; shortly thereafter, the property's first cottages were built, many of which still stand today.

Over the decades that followed, the resort became a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. Families, boaters and cottagers would stop by for a meal or an icecream cone, or stay for an extended period of time at one of the cottages on the picturesque property.

One of these people was Fiona McKean, who spent time at the resort as a child and longed to restore and modernize "The Grand Old Dame of the Rideau" after it fell into disrepair in more recent years and closed in 2012. In 2015, she purchased the property with her husband, Shopify CEO Tobi Latke, and their efforts to reinvigorate the resort while also maintaining its signature historic charm have once again made The Opinicon a destination in the area.

Today, The Opinicon employs over 100 people, most of whom are locals. Head chef Angela Baldwin is a native of the Lans-

ing vegetables. I always enjoyed baking with my mother. The smell of fresh bread is one of those smells that brings me right back to my childhood. I always had a sweet tooth so I was always making cakes and cookies, so baking is where I first found the love of cooking. I loved having family and friends taste my creations and delighted in the reactions.

PC: What inspires the food at Opinicon?

How did you choose what to put on the menu?

AB: I try to use as many local ingredients as I can. There are many suppliers from the local area that we love to support. Summertime brings so many wonderful flavours and combinations. We keep it simple, trying not to mess with those already beautiful delicious ingredients. The menu is a bit different - I try to have something for everyone.

The fresh salads are a favourite as all of the ingredients we use are from the local area. I have picked up a style over the years from different kitchens that I have worked in, but I mostly stick to Mediterranean style cooking with a few twists. Every day, we have market features, and we base these on whatever is coming in the door from our suppliers. My wonderful sous chef James Bryce is

PC: Are most of the people who visit the restaurant staying there? Or do you get people coming in for just a meal too?

AB: We do cater to our house guests, and we have up to 100 people staying with us at one time. That being said, our guests only account for one third of the customers we see in a day.

PC: Do you source your ingredients locally?

AB: As I said, a lot of the ingredients we use come from the local area. 90 per cent of our produce comes from local growers, most of our chicken comes from Glenburnie and our beef from Tweed and Harrowsmith.

I am also now looking into some local lamb, which is really exciting. We use many processed ingredients as well that come from local growers and producers. Everything from mustard to pasta we source from the area.

PC: What is your absolute favourite dish of all time?

AB: My favourite dish would have to be fresh linguine and clams, the ultimate Italian dish, with some fresh tomatoes, herbs and Parmesan, served with some fresh bread and wine. Delish!

PC: Do you have a favourite ingredient (to cook with)?

AB: My favourite ingredient would have to be flour. I know it may sound strange, but I love bread. There are so many styles and types of bread and there's just something so gratifying about making a fresh loaf. I also love fennel. The fragrant little bulb is so versatile I can put it in practically anything.

PC: Anything else you want to add?

AB: The Opinicon Kitchen is a very young kitchen with lots of room to grow.

Our commitment is to evolve and continue to use local ingredients.

AMY HIMMELMAN HAS WORLD CHAMPION BUCKSKIN IN VALLATA LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com Amy Himmelman has a good male in her life - several actually, but there is one shining star who has captured her heart and that of many others in the equine world.

Dale, or Vallata as he's known in the show ring, is a two-year-old buckskin stallion, owned and worked by Himmelman of Little Rock Farm between Perth and Smiths Falls.

"He's a world champion," Amy said. "He's got a playful side and he bits a bit too," she added with a laugh.

It was in July when she, and her son and his wife, Eddie and Jenna Stewart, loaded up the horse trailer for the International Buckskin Horse Association (IBHA) World Show in Cloverdale, Indiana. Himmelman said she was hoping to get into the top five.

She said the arena was five acres in size and had 500 stalls, including the riding ring.

During the warmup event, the judges unanimously agreed that Vallata was the best of the best.

"On the Wednesday, Brooklyn (Burke) did some live streaming so everyone back home could watch," she said.

"I was getting pretty excited when they kept announcing the number eight in the world, number seven, and he still hadn't been called."

It was when they announced Vallata as the Grand Champion that the elation overtook them.

"I was there to watch it all unfold," said Jenna. "It was amazing! When she entered the ring for her preliminary world show I thought I was going to puke! I was so nervous for her ... very stiff competition. When they called out

Don Trout/Submitted Amy Himmelman and her buckskin, a two-year-old named Vallata, is a World Champion. her number for Grand Champion I cried. Her face lit up ... a feeling only one can imagine."

Jenna added that so much hard work goes into showing horses. "She is certainly one to give to the community it was nice to see her dreams come true."

Vallata earned Grand Champion Stallion at the

IBHA Warmup to the World, IBHA World Champion Open, two-year-old stallion, and IBHA Reserve World Champion, amateur stallion - all ages.

Himmelman said she found her horse at four months of age in Iowa. He won as a weanling last year. She has shown horses all her life, but on her farm,

she offers lessons, boarding, trail rides and camps.

She had extra training help from Katy Drummond as Vallata prepared for this competition.

"Katy helped me in March and April," she said.

"It's been very rewarding to raise them and show them.

Exciting for a small farm like ours to have a grand champion."

So who was looking after the farm while they were away?

"Mason was," she said. "I told him he was in charge to tell (me) what was going on while we were away.

He's out salmon fishing today (Aug. 16)."

Mason, who is nine years of age, has been active on the farm since he was born. His younger brother, Casey, 17 months, is also an avid horseman.

"Casey has his own stallion," Himmelman said.

"He's got a yearling named Kash."

Vallata was sired by Ckade, a four-time ABRA/ IBHA World Champion Stallion with an AQHA World Show top three horse, and five-time AQHA honour roll top 10.

In 2016, Vallata earned the IBHA World Champion Stallion, the IBHA Reserved World Champion Amateur Stallion, two and under; OQHA High Point Open, yearling; OQHA High Point Amateur, EOQHA High Point Stallion Open and the EOQHA High Point Amateur Stallion.

As for Vallata's immediate future, Himmelman said she's going to take a break from the show ring for a while and let him enjoy the barn life - and he'll be a father soon.

"I'm so proud," Himmelman said. "We have a number one stallion and he's been bred to three mares this year and they'll drop foals in the spring. We'll see how he produces."

BROOKE HENDERSON WINS CP WOMEN'S OPEN

LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

TSN1/Screengrab Brooke Henderson is doused with champagne by her father, Dave Henderson. It was a 4-stroke victory in the CP Women's Open Sunday in Regina, Sask.

Brooke Henderson had a 3-stroke lead heading to the 18th tee today allowing the Smiths Falls native to enjoy the stroll up the final fairway en route to winning the CP Women's Open in Regina, Sask.

She held the lead throughout much the LPGA championship, and started the final round with a 1-stroke lead.

Henderson locked up the trophy - one she'd been eyeing up for some time with a birdie on her final hole to finish at 21 under par, four strokes ahead of her nearest competitor.

Despite inclement weather, huge crowds lined the fairways and cheered on their fellow Canadian as Henderson stole this show from the beginning.

Her father, Dave Henderson was the first on the 18th green to douse his daughters - Brooke and sister/caddie Brittany - with champagne. Mom Darlene Henderson was also in on the celebrations.

"It's amazing," she told lpga.com of the moment.

"The crowds here have

been amazing all week and it's really a dream come true. It's been a tough year, and to get this for Canada I'm really happy," she said struggling to keep her emotions in check.

It's the first time since 1973 that a Canadian has won this national championship.

Henderson fought the elements, as the temperature dipped about 20 degrees Celsius Thursday to Sunday, and the rain started. She said she was used to

this kind of weather, as she won in New Zealand last year under similar weather conditions.

Henderson shot a final round 7-under 65. Her fourday total was 267 (-21), earning her the US$337,500 prize.

In a tight race through much of Sunday with American Angel Yin, Henderson hit her stride on the back nine, as she strung together four birdies to pull away with the win. It's her seventh win on the LPGA tour - her second this season.

Yin was second at 17-under par.

Tuesday, Sept. 4, 2018 is Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) Awareness Day. PKD is one of the most common lifethreatening genetic diseases, affecting approximately 1 in 500 and is the fourth leading cause of dialysis and kidney transplants.

PKD is an inherited disorder in which clusters of cysts develop primarily within the kidneys, causing them to enlarge and lose function over time. Cysts are noncancerous round sacs containing fluid. The cysts vary in size, and can grow very large.

Polycystic kidney disease also can cause cysts to develop in the liver and elsewhere in the body. The disease can cause serious complications, including high blood pressure and kidney failure. Nearly half of those with the disease have kidney failure by age 60. Some associated complications are: • Growth of cysts in the liver.

• Development of brain aneurysms.

• Heart valve abnormalities.

• Pregnancy complications.

• Colon problems.

• Chronic pain is a common symptom for people with polycystic kidney disease. It often occurs in the side or back.

The PKD Foundation of Canada is solely dedicated to fighting PKD through research, education, advocacy, support and awareness. Go to www.endpkd.ca for more

information.

The Ottawa chapter of the PKD Foundation is holding its walk to end PKD on Sept.

15 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Andrew Haydon Park, 3169 Carling Ave. This is an important event for a Perth family.

Tony and Jeanie Nichols have a daughter and two granddaughters with the disease.

"Our eldest daughter, Cheri Barton, started that region's walk for PKD where she lives in Vankleek Hill and raised over $100,000 for PKD research over a 10-year period," Tony Nichols said.

"Amazing for a small town," he said about Vankleek Hill.

That prompted the formation of the Ottawa Chapter of the PKD Foundation of Canada.

"Cheri is now not well with liver as well as kidney involvement. Both her daughters have PKD. They are why I support PKD and organ donation."

The Perth-Smiths Falls kidney walk will be held Sept. 23 at Crystal Palace in Perth from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The Kidney Walk is a great way for families, friends and colleagues to come together to show support for the 1 in 10 Canadians living with kidney disease. It's where the kidney community gathers to show their unwavering commitment to kidney health and improved lives for all people touched by kidney disease.

Bank of Canada/Submitted On March 8, 2018, the new $10 bank note featuring Viola Desmond was unveiled during a ceremony at the Halifax Public Library. Pictured from left to right: Finance Minister Bill Morneau; Wanda Robson, sister of Viola Desmond; and Governor Stephen S. Poloz.

GET TO KNOW THE NEW CANADIAN $10 BANK NOTE feather. Tilt the note to see the colour shift from gold to green. . Flip the note to see the elements inside the large window repeated in the same colours and detail on the other side.

The new $10 note will be rolled out gradually and circulate alongside the other polymer $10 notes.

Unlike the special $10 note issued for Canada's 150th anniversary in 2017, printed in a limited quantity to mark this historical milestone, the vertical $10 note will be the regular $10 note produced for years to come.

Business owners may be wondering what this new $10 note means for their cash-handling equipment. The vertical $10 has been designed to minimize the impact on the cash-handling industry and maintains the same functional features as current polymer notes. Equipment owners and renters should contact their suppliers with questions about machine compatibility.

With the release of this new $10 note, the Bank of Canada's approach to issuing bank notes is changing. Rather than issuing all five denominations within a short timeframe, a new note will be released every few years. This will allow the bank to integrate the latest security features each time a new bank note is issued, ensuring that Canadians can continue to use their bank notes with confidence.

Canada's new $10 bank note will begin to appear in cash transactions late this year.

Designed to stand apart, it's the first vertical note issued by the Bank of Canada, and features the portrait of social justice defender Viola Desmond.

Here's what businesses and cash users need to know about this new $10 bill.

As with Canada's other notes, the new $10 has bold security features, ensuring that Canadians can use it with confidence. That's why the bank issues new notes - to stay ahead of counterfeiting threats and to keep pace with advances in technology.

But remember, bank notes are only secure if you check them.

Routinely checking all notes - no matter which series or value - allows you to intercept counterfeits and keep them out of circulation.

The security features on Canada's vertical $10 note are quick and easy to check: . Feel the smooth, unique texture of the note. It's made from a single piece of polymer with some transparent areas. . Feel the raised ink on the front of the note, namely on the portrait, the word "Canada" and the large number '10' at the bottom. . Look at the detailed metallic images and symbols in and around the large transparent window. . Look at the pattern in the eagle

BARNS, FARMS AND WICKED CHEFS RAISE $35,000 FOR THE TABLE Barns, Farms and Wicked Chefs raised $35,000 for The Table Community Food Centre on Aug. 18 in Perth.

The event featured food prepared by a group of guest chefs using ingredients from the area's farms. The event also featured Perth Brewery and Weatherhead Brew Co., as well as craft spirits from Top Shelf, regional wines, kombucha and locally roasted coffee.

The event took place at a heritage farmstead, surrounded by hay fields, forest and meadows.

The atmosphere was casual with people mingling and moving about the site between the chefs' stations, the bars, and the indoor and outdoor seating areas. Musicians added to the ambience and have been known to end the night with a lively jam session.

Chefs included Marc Doiron from Town and Citizen, Jon Kroetsch from Fraser Café, Dominic Paul of Thyme and Again, Kyle Mortimer-Proulx from All Saints Event Space and Matthew Brearley of Castlegarth Farm.

The Table welcomed good food advocates and chefs Simon Bell from the Parkdale Food Centre, and Anna March and Carley Schelck of Cultivating Cooks.

The Table's own Judy Dempsey and a delicious seasonal dessert offered by Kassy Boulay of the Perth Pie Co. round out the roster.

Smiths Falls Police Services Board In our busy lives, seems there’s so much to do.

Our minds often race, and our vehicles too.

Consumed with ‘whatever’ is coming up next; the meeting, the deadline or incoming text.

But sharing our roads, on their very own journeys, are students embarking on a voyage of learning.

Each of them precious, with dreams yet untold.

And each one deserving, of care on the road.

So as we travel life’s roads, though our minds may deride us, let us be mindful of those, who journey beside us.

OPINION

YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT, BUT WE ARE INSIDE A RAINBOW LYLE DILLABOUGH CAN'T DESCRIBE THIS RECENT PHENOMENON LYLE DILLABOUGH Column

All I could say was, "You won't believe it, Mom: but we are inside a rainbow."

And oh what a feeling it was.

This event happened about a year ago when my friends, Gary Strike and Robert Cataflamo, were taking me through the Valley and up into the Pontiac on a gorgeous day in late August.

I had just recently got

out of the hospital after yet another long illness and could hardly believe that I was actually there seeing "it" all once more and thoroughly amazed to be experiencing "life" again.

I kept giggling, laughing to myself and repeatedly thinking: "I'm alive, I'm alive!"

Strike had come to see me in the hospital a few weeks earlier where he urged me to agree to have a video produced to accompany my song, Proud Canadians.

"It would make a great tribute to Canada 150," he said.

I didn't think I had the energy to work at a project yet but he persisted: "It will get you motivated and help you to get better."

So we did. (Along with

talented Carleton Place musician/producer, Kirk Armstrong.)

On the particular day in question we had just been to CHIP-FM, Fort Coulonge, Que., and to CJHRFM, Renfrew, doing interviews promoting the new video.

(Note: A separate personal interview that Gary did with The People's Voice radio show host, Andy T. Williams, on the same day is probably the greatest and most touching "Mr. Canada" interview ever!

This interview aired about a month ago and is available online. Please go to: www.valleyheritageradio.ca, and judge for yourself.)

Now I have both seen and experienced some "strange" things in my life.

And like many (and sev-

eral other writers) am fascinated at the so-called coincidences, perplexities, mysteries and wonders of life.

And on that day we experienced a biggie!

Canadian writer John Demont lists this sentiment well in his book, Coal Black Heart, the history of the Cape Breton coal mining industry. " ... One minute you'd be waving to a young woman who would drown in the Mira River, the next you'd be nodding to a star athlete who one day, for no obvious reason, just went out into the woods and stayed there.

"Then there is a man lugging a sack of 'bootleg' coal (a practice that thrived during the depression years when employ-

ment was scarce and heating the house more important than nuances of personal ownership) while blind victims of moonshine from Reserve Mines make their damaged way. I close my eyes and see them all ..."

After the interviews had been done and we were returning from this "absolutely stunning" day of weather, travel and happenings, we came upon a sudden thunderstorm.

What followed was a huge, magnificent rainbow that somehow wrapped itself around us.

It can't be explained as it has to be experienced for one to really understand.

Folks were getting out of their cars, some with tears of joy streaming down their faces, while others were attempting to take photographs. (We took some too, and although pretty, they can't do

justice.)

Others were just standing in one spot, stunned by it all.

The rainbow was actually "singing."

Not knowing how to express what was happening and what I was feeling, I grabbed the cellphone in my pocket and I called my mother. (Who else would you call at a time like that?)

I said, "Mom (Ruth Dillabough): you won't believe it, but we are in a rainbow."

She calmly replied: "What do you mean you are in a rainbow?"

After some bumbled words to describe it, my mother simply stated, "That must be wonderful, son."

"It is, Mom." I exhaled.

"It's awesome!"

Lyle Dillabough is a local musician who writes for the Ottawa Valley newspapers.

Next time you enjoy a play or concert at Studio Theatre in Perth, consider the role that David and Patricia Parry have played in making our town a destination for outstanding live theatre.

The Parrys are theatre veterans who've done it all, won it all, and seen it all in community theatre. It's a world where there are no paycheques or contracts; actors, directors and stage hands are volunteers, committing hundreds of hours to each production simply for the love of their craft.

This passion for creating quality theatre has driven the Parrys for more than four decades.

David and Patricia Parry were introduced to live theatre in the 1970s in Bristol, England, where David was taking a sabbatical leave. On their return to Canada, they joined Ottawa's Tara Players, a troupe that honours the tradition of great Irish theatre. With Tara they did everything acting, directing, stage managing, costume design, and even serving on the theatre's board of directors. At the same time, Patricia lent her talents to a second fledgling theatre group, the Lakeside Players. During their time in Ottawa they were involved in more than 50 productions, onstage and behind the scenes, while also mentoring young performers.

In 2004 the Parrys moved here, to Perth, bringing their 30 years of theatre experience first to Smiths Falls, and later to Perth's Studio Theatre. In 2009, Studio Theatre endured a radical transformation, and the Parrys were instrumental in its rebirth, directing (Patricia) and starring (David) in On Golden Pond, the first production of what was to become Studio Theatre Productions.

Since then, they have been involved in every aspect of Studio Theatre's life, mainly as actors and directors. David has also led the theatre's play-selection process, as artistic di-

The Parry Award will be a permanent tribute to the work of David and Patricia Parry, and to the scores of other volunteers behind the success of Perth's Studio Theatre. rector, since 2010, and he is a recent recipient of Theatre Ontario's Michael Spence Award for Contributions to Community Theatre. Meanwhile, Patricia has directed some of Studio Theatre's most memorable shows, including Over the River and Through the Woods, A Christmas Story, The Wonderful Story of Mother Goose, The Butler Did It, and The Inheritance, as well as working behind the scenes as a gifted costume designer. Along the way, the Parrys' skills have been recognized numerous times by the Eastern Ontario Drama League and other important community theatre organizations.

Today, as David and Patricia contemplate taking a well-deserved breather from the day-to-day rigours of the stage, Studio Theatre is paying them tribute with a very special recognition. At the annual general meeting in July, the theatre's president, Penny Silberhorn, and promotions head-writer Paul Joyce unveiled The Parry Award, an annual award that will recognize the priceless role volunteers play in the life and work of Studio Theatre. Re-

cipients will be chosen from within the Studio Theatre family, and may include those who have made extraordinary contributions of time, talent or monetary support.

Winners' names will be etched on the award, and the plaque will be displayed in the lobby as a lasting symbol of the theatre's appreciation for its volunteers. The inscription on the plaque reads "The Parry Award. Given in recognition of outstanding service to the Studio Theatre. In honour of David and Patricia Parry, mentors, leaders and friends."

Appropriately, the plaque was created by wood craftsman and Studio Theatre volunteer Rolf Friis.

David and Patricia Parry, thankfully, are still very much a part of Studio Theatre's future. With the Parry Award, the roles they've played as volunteer actors, directors and mentors will be forever celebrated. In the meantime, for the Parrys, community theatre is a labour of love that continues.

'ANGEL STREET' A HIT MYSTERY THRILLER AT PERTH'S CLASSIC THEATRE FESTIVAL Although it was written 80 years ago, Angel Street (a.k.a.

Gaslight) is completely in tune with the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements around ending violence against women. The story of an unsolved murder and a woman's heart-pounding struggle for survival plays at the Classic Theatre Festival in Perth until Sept. 9 (54 Beckwith St. E.).

Written by Patrick Hamilton who also had a major hit with the thriller Rope, turned into an Alfred Hitchcock classic - Angel Street has won both audience raves and critical praise, with the esteemed Capital Critics Circle's Iris Winston enthusing that this "production offers well-defined characterizations and a satisfying buildup of suspense."

Veteran theatre reviewer Jamie Portman agrees, writing, "The Classic Theatre Festival has produced a sizzling revival of Patrick Hamilton's renowned psychological thriller."

It's the annual mystery thriller produced by the festival, a fitting show for the end of summer as the nights get longer, the floorboards start to creak with the cooler temperatures, and we

start planning fall reading cozying up by a fire. It's also the play that inspired the oft-used term for any acts of psychological manipulation in abusive relationships: gaslighting.

In Angel Street, Bella Manningham (played by Jessica Sherman) is driven to a point where she begins to question her sanity by a possessive and controlling husband (Jeffrey Aarles), who has isolated her and threatened her with the dreaded madhouse if she does not comply with his increasingly brutal demands.

Whether she will survive her ordeal is up to an unlikely ally who suddenly appears: is he part of a dream cooked up by a mentally unstable Bella, or does he exist for real?

Mixed in with the play is an unsolved murder, intrigue among the servants and the bleak days and nights of Victorian-era London, when pollution choked the air and muddied the waters, and social inequality produced by the Industrial Revolution heightened pre-existing class tensions.

When the show opened on Broadway, it starred a then-un-

TAYLOR, ADAM - In loving memory of a dear son who passed away August 31, 2008.

If We Could Bring You Back Again If we could bring you back again, For one more hour or day, We’d express all our unspoken love; We’d have countless things to say.

If we could bring you back again, We’d say we treasured you, And that your presence in our lives, Meant more than we ever knew.

IN MEMORIAM

IN MEMORIAM

DOBSON, Archie September 3, 1990 In loving memory of a wonderful Husband, Father, Grandfather.

The moment that you died, Our hearts were torn in two, One side filled with heartache, The other died with you.

We often lie awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon our cheeks.

Remembering you is easy,

IN MEMORIAM

Laidlaw: Gary “ Toby” September 2,1959 -- September 2,2016 As we loved you, so we miss you In our memory you are near Loved, remembered, longed for always Bringing many a silent tear We Miss You Love Mommy and all your family MALLOY, Kenneth August 31, 2016 The moment that you left me, My heart split in two.

One side filled with memories the other side died with you.

I often lay awake at night while the world is fast asleep.

And take a walk down memory lane, The tears upon my cheek.

Remembering you was easy, I do it every day.

But missing you is a heartache, That never goes away.

I hold you tightly within my heart, And there you will remain.

Life has gone on without you, But will never be the same.

Loving you always, Your wife Barb

We do it everyday, But missing you is a heartache,

Horst and Maria neuber

In loving memory of wonderful parents who passed away on May 22, 2003 and August 28, 2016.

Now you are together at last in heaven tending to your many fields and gardens inside the Pearly gates.

You are in our hearts, our thoughts and our lives each and every day.

Loved and never forgotten, Love, Monica and Michael

That never goes away.

We hold you tightly within our hearts, And there you will remain, Until the joyous day arrives, That we will meet again.

Forever and always Fran, Tammy, Shannon & Douglas

DREAM TEAM

Brad Mills photo The Governor General's Foot Guards Band will be returning for their fourth concert at St. Paul's United Church in Perth Sunday, Sept. 2 at 2 p.m.

GOVERNOR GENERAL'S FOOT GUARDS BAND PERFORMS IN NEWLY RENOVATED SPACE The Governor General's Foot Guards Band will be returning for their fourth concert at St. Paul's United Church in Perth, on Labour Day Sunday, Sept. 2 at 2 p.m.

The band is "bookending" the extensive renovations that have taken place at St. Paul's over the last four months, having performed the final concert on the old 1970s-era, multilayered, redcarpet-covered platform in late March.

This concert will see the band on a single-level performance stage, made from engineered hardwood, that extends the entire width of the church. A handicap access ramp leads directly from the D'Arcy Street entrance into the sanctuary and onto the stage.

Sound, lighting and air quality have all been improved; the sanctuary has been entirely repainted; and natural light now spills through the newly exposed upper stained glass windows.

The GGFG band is based at Cartier Square Drill Hall in downtown Ottawa. They share a close connection to the Governor General and provide music for many ceremonies in the Ottawa area, including the annual nationally televised Remembrance

Day ceremony held at the War Memorial. The band's full dress uniform with scarlet tunic and bearskin hat is immediately recognizable.

Lt. Stefan Sikorski, the band's conductor, has organized a band "exercise" at nearby Camp Otterdale for the Labour Day weekend the first of its kind for any reserve band in Canada. On Saturday the musicians will be working with Dr. Gillian MacKay from the University of Toronto, while conducting marching band rehearsals and sectionals. The "exercise" will culminate in the concert at St. Paul's on Sunday. The program theme will be centred on exploring new worlds through music from Star Trek, the Big Band era, Spain, Romania, French Canadian folklore, and ancient Persia.

Admission to the concert is free, but donations will be accepted at the door to go toward the cost of choral risers in the new choir loft.

Celebrate Labour Day Sunday afternoon with the Governor General's Footguards Band in the newly renovated sanctuary of St. Paul's United Church, 25 Gore St. W., Perth (www.stpaulsperth.ca).

FULL LIST OF ELECTION CANDIDATES FOR RIDEAU LAKES TOWNSHIP

Those seeking a seat in these wards include: Claire Klein-Gunnewiek, Linda Carr and Joan Delaney in Ward 3, and in Ward 4 (amalgamated with Ward 5 - Newboro), candidates include incumbents Bob Lavoie and Ron Pollard, along with newcomers Keitha Burtch and Wendy Talbot. There are two councillor positions for each ward.

In Ward 1, Cathy Livingston (incumbent), Paula Banks, Carolyn Bresee, Kimberly Dawn Brown, and Kris Sheldon are in the running.

In Ward 2, Jeff Banks (incumbent) will try for another win against Ron Holman (current mayor), and Marcia Maxwell.

Running for mayor will be Rob Dunfield and Arie Hoogenboom.

JEFF MAGUIRE WOULD RATHER TAKE A FERRY THAN A BRIDGE JEFF MAGUIRE Column

Ferries have always fascinated me! To be truthful any vessel that carries cargo across wide bodies of water is of interest to me.

But ferries are different than ships or barges.

Ferries specialize in moving human cargo, most often with owners' vehicles or bicycles stowed safely below. Ferries are also big commercial carriers taking vans, cargo trucks, tractor trailers and buses from point A. to point B. and often trimming con-

ventional road trips considerably in the process.

Recently Kathleen and I embarked on our latest ferry trip. Well, it was very short so perhaps I should call it a "ride" rather than a trip.

We were on our way to visit our good friends Frank and Wendy LeBlanc at their new home in Picton. For those unfamiliar with the Lake Ontario community it is located in Prince Edward County (PEC) an area which, in recent years in particular, has become a magnet for tourists. If you look at a map you will see that PEC is, in effect, an island. A wide swath of land connected to the rest of Ontario by bridges and yes, by the Glenora Ferry.

We had a choice of routes - several in fact but we deliberately headed for tiny Glenora just so we could enjoy the experience of another run on

that particular vessel.

What makes the Glenora Ferry unique is that it is part of the provincial highway system. Follow Highway 33, better known in the region as the 'Loyalist Parkway', southwest from Kingston and you will pass through small centres such as Bath and Adolphustown. The highway ends at the Adolphus Reach, an inlet from Lake Ontario. That's where the ferry takes over. The free, year-round service, operated by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO), moves vehicles of all sizes and their passengers across the narrow strait to Glenora. From there it's a short nine kilometre hop into Picton.

The Glenora Ferry is not unique in Ontario.

There are other services operated by MTO including one from Kingston to Wolfe Island and another from either Leamington

SEE OUR FLYER New

Fly er

in this WEEK’s PErth CouriEr

or Kingsville to Pelee Island in Lake Erie. I have travelled on both those ferries over the years.

Certainly the short run to and from Glenora is picturesque. You have just enough time to get out of your vehicle and take in the spectacular views including the huge bluff that rises to Lake on the Mountain near Picton!

Three days later we made the reverse trip on the way home. I never miss the opportunity to ride on a ferry. I will go out of my way to enjoy another ferry excursion.

Kathy has largely over-

come a childhood fear of ferries resulting from a stormy excursion to Walpole Island in the St. Clair River. Now there is yet another good Ontario ferry trip, from Walpole to Algonac, Michigan. Kathy and I have made the crossing many times since her childhood adventure and highly recommend it.

There are other ferry crossings to Michigan from Ontario along the picturesque St. Clair River as well.

Closer to home, along the Ottawa River, ferries transport vehicles between Ontario and Quebec. The locally famous

Quyon Ferry is a good example which I also recommend. It runs from Fitzroy Harbour in rural west Ottawa to the Quebec village of the same name.

We've taken ferry trips for decades on our travels. I can't recall one that I didn't enjoy. I'll take a ferry instead of a bridge any time!

RIDING WITH GRAMPA WAS ALWAYS A BUMPY RIDE EARL LEARNED A RUMBLE SEAT LESSON ON NORTHCOTE ROAD, MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column

It wasn't the first time we lost my brother Earl out of the rumble seat of Grampa's car.

The first time, it was Emerson's fault.

Wrestling in the rumble seat for the best position, much bigger than Earl, Emerson gave him a mighty push, and like a loon diving into a lake, Earl went sailing into the ditch on the Northcote Side Road.

But this time, it was Earl's fault, plain and simple.

Every time Grampa came from Ottawa, we five kids had to have a ride in his rumble seat car. My sister Audrey and I were content to sit in the front with Grampa, listening to his tales of Ottawa where he lawn-bowled, played golf and ate at Bowles Lunch.

The day that Earl took the second dive was entirely his fault. The three brothers had climbed into the back, and Earl decided he would sit on the outside of the seat, with his back against the window that separated the rumble seat from the front of the car.

Audrey kept rapping on the window, making mad gestures at Earl, trying to get him to sit down in the hole, but of course, he couldn't see her with his back to the glass. The Northcote Road was full of holes and ruts, which should have

slowed down Grampa, but he seemed to get special delight in hitting every one of them, as we bounced along at a good clip.

We tore past Briscoe's General Store like a bolt of lightning, my teeth chattering from the rough ride with my eyes glued to the road. It was Audrey who saw the whole performance in the rumble seat, and she almost caused Grampa to leave the road when she grabbed his arm and told him to stop the car, we had lost Earl.

Grampa never eased the gas a fraction, and simply said, "We'll pick him up on the way back."

I started to cry, wondering if Earl was laying dead in the ditch, or at the very least had broken his legs ... both of them.

But Grampa didn't seem to be the least concerned.

I turned in the seat, and there were Emerson and Everett, as calm as you please, as if we lost a sibling every day while driving in Grampa's rumble seat car. Their hair was flaying all over their faces, and they were grinning like they had just been given a dollar. They didn't seem to have a care in the world.

Just before we came to that part of the

Northcote Side Road, before the last long stretch into Renfrew, where we left the gravel, and the road turned into cement, Grampa, looking neither left nor right to see if any other cars were coming, pulled a U-turn and headed back home.

Halfway to Briscoe's General Store, there was Earl standing on the side of the road waving frantically with one of his running shoes in his hand.

Grampa ground to a halt, Earl climbed into the back and slid right down into the very depths of the hole. It looked like he wasn't going to take any more chances of diving into the ditch.

Mother didn't even ask Earl how he got a scraped knee. She was more interested in the green grass stain on his good Sunday shirt. She did get out the iodine and dabbed the cut and ordered him to go upstairs and change his clothes.

Earl limped around a bit, but didn't seem to have any injuries other than the skinned knee.

He did say though, the iodine hurt a lot more than the scrape he got when he nosedived into the ditch out of Grampa's rumble seat car along the Northcote Side Road.

This week's featured pets

Dawson Hi, I am Dawson. I was brought to Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) on a cold day in March. I have a lot of love to give but just need a patient partner. I might need some extra encouragement, and treats will help, I can assure you of that.

Underneath my handsome, bashful exterior is a reservoir of love and wisdom. If you are patient enough to tap into it, I want nothing more than to show my affection. I might need a quiet home and a little more understanding, but I promise, once I feel safe I'll be loyal to you all of my days. Will you take a chance on me? Please meet me at LAWS. You'll won't regret it!

Ulyss Meet Ulyss, who arrived in April. His transformation since his arrival has been remarkable. He's is very comfortable with all his cat buddies and enjoys human touch. Although he's not a lap cat and can be a little shy at times, we are confident that, with the right owner, he will continue to feel more at ease and will make a good pet.

Please meet this black beauty, with his sleek, shiny fur and amazing green eyes, at LAWS.

Harmony

Harmony Meeting Harmony is going to be a pleasure, as she's a friendly, about two-year-old female cat with great personality. Harmony arrived very thin and with a patchy fur. She's working on looking pretty again, with our help. Your reward will be to see her to continue to blossom once you take her into your heart and home. Please meet Harmony at LAWS -- she's worth the trip!

Follow us at www.facebook.com/lanarkanimals and/ or lanarkanimals.ca. LAWS is located at 253 Glenview Rd., Smiths Falls.

Hi, I am Plumpkin and they think I am about six years old. I was found as a stray cat, and so far no one came looking for me!

I'm a voluptuous beauty ready for my forever home! I am super quiet and rarely meow unless I want a person to notice me. I'd be very happy to share a quiet

home with someone who can offer me a daily brush which I enjoy especially if you allow me to rub my face against the bristles too.

I would benefit from some playtime and have no access to food all the time. A reward after playtime would be great too, it doesn't have to be food. Food is not love they said. I am happy to lounge the days away and would love to sit next to you to watch TV. Would you please give me a chance? I am available at Pet Valu in Almonte and can't wait to meet my new forever family.

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.

SUDOKU

horoscopes ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 If you want to get out and see the sights, you have to plan an excursion, Aries. Start planning a vacation and don’t forget to invite a pal along for the trip.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, indecisiveness may cost you in the days ahead. Try to come to a decision on an important situation so you can begin moving forward once again.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Do not be quick to accept the word “no,” Taurus. If you are seeking a promotion, it may take another round of negotiations to sell your position to a supervisor.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Sometimes you don’t see the purpose behind certain actions, Scorpio. Don’t hesitate to ask questions to clear things up. Forge ahead and things will become clearer.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, some things are at play and you may need to gather some facts. Don’t try to piece things together, but rather start at the beginning and get a comprehensive view.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sooner or later, if you try different things you are bound to stumble on the right course of action, Sagittarius. It just may take longer than you initially expected.

insideottawavalley.com

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 You have to hunker down and work through tasks that hold little interest for you, Cancer. Success comes from tending to all of the details, even those that are less interesting.

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!

This Special Feature will be published in Full Colour on Thursday, September 6th, 2018

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Don’t worry if you cannot get your act together just yet, Capricorn. You will find your groove soon enough and everything will ultimately fall in place.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Plenty of opportunities to make big changes are on the horizon, Leo. You need to figure out what it is you want to do with yourself and where to make change.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Some things can’t be avoided forever, Aquarius. If you feel like you are running away from problems or things you don’t like, you may need to confront them.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, sit quietly aside and let others talk while you listen. Listening can be a great way to learn about others as well as yourself. Use this time wisely.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Funny things happen when you least expect them, Pisces. Just when you may have thought a situation was dire, some fun will change your opinion.
