When damage occurs in the high-frequency areas of the cochlea (where consonants are heard), speech may sound garbled and comprehension could become difficult.

Tay Valley Township is seriously considering a bylaw that would ban secret recordings of its proceedings.

Township council will make a final decision on the matter on Tuesday, Sept. 18, Reeve Keith Kerr said during a telephone interview on the afternoon of Monday, Sept. 10. The matter went before a public meeting on Tuesday, Sept.

4, as part of a larger discussion on changes to the procedural bylaw.

The draft bylaw, as it now stands, proposes that "concealed recording devices shall not be permitted." The next section states that "videotaping and/or audio recording may be permitted at council and/or committee of the whole meetings only with the approval of council in advance of the meeting, through the clerk. Upon receiving confirmation, the requestor shall declare at the ...(meeting) that videotaping and/or audio recording will occur and shall provide the clerk a copy of the recording free of charge within 48 hours of the meeting."

"Recording devices were never really allowed before," said Kerr. "That's a common practice. It's kind of a protection."

He added that, as a politician, "I never say anything that I wouldn't want reported."

Lanark-FrontenacKingston MP Scott Reid and his wife Robin Mulcahy attended the Sept. 4 public meeting, and, in an email exchange with this newspaper, wrote that “I was recording the meeting … I record all of my interactions with Tay Valley Township council and staff.” He also recorded a meeting he and Mulcahy had with the township’s chief administrative officer Larry Donaldson on

Desmond Devoy/Metroland Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston MP Scott Reid, left, checks election night results on his phone, as his wife, Robyn Mulcahy, right, looks over his shoulder, on federal election night, Oct. 19, 2015.

Reid and Mulcahy are now opposed to proposed by-laws that would ban secret recordings by citizens at Tay Valley Township council.

Jan. 16.

In a separate email, Mulcahy said that an earlier meeting with township staff, in November of 2017, was also recorded.

Reid stressed in his email that while "my opposition to this bylaw requires a detailed explanation, as there is so much wrong with it," in short, "parts of the bylaw represent unconstitutional violations of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms (provisions for) speech and assembly."

The current bylaw was last given a major overhaul in 2011, and in 2017, council was told that it needed an update. Any changes approved on Sept. 18 will go into effect on Dec. 1. Kerr said that "we've been looking at it (changes) for a while," and that MPP Randy Hillier recording a township council meeting in June of 2017 "was not what determined us to do it (make changes)," said Kerr.

"A few people spoke out against it," admitted Kerr,

of the recording provisions at the Sept. 4 meeting. "You won't please everyone. I'm not perfect!" he said with a laugh.

Nearby Perth town council meetings are recorded by Your TV, and one of Kerr's leading opponents on council would like to see the proceedings in Glen Tay recorded as well.

"I think that every council meeting should be recorded," said Coun. Judy Farrell, during a telephone interview on Sept. 10, later that same afternoon.

After the meetings are recorded and stored, the public should then be able to access those recordings, she said. "If they (citizens) feel that they have to (record) ... I don't have a problem with that," Farrell said, who is running for deputy reeve.

"You should go to every meeting believing you are being recorded."

She charged that there were "too many" in camera meetings at council, and "transparency is important."

KERR, FARRELL SPAR OVER WHO IS TO BLAME FOR $200,000 PLUS LEGAL BILL DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@ metroland.com Tay Valley Township is looking at a legal bill that is triple its normal legal fees budget because of proceedings over the censuring of Coun. Judy Farrell.

Reeve Keith Kerr put out a press release on behalf of the township on Friday, Sept. 7, explaining to constituents that he has been unable to speak about the issue sooner "because of a procedural difficulty created by a single councillor." As such, he claimed, "council has been unable to receive legal advice and to provide direction to the municipal solicitor on this matter for a number of

weeks. This impasse has now been resolved by council delegating to me, as the reeve, the authority to deal with this issue."

In a telephone interview on the afternoon of Monday, Sept. 10, Kerr said that "the councillor will not declare a conflict ... and would not remove herself from the council chamber," when the matter of her censure, and the issues arising out of it, were brought up.

Back in January, Farrell, who is now running for deputy reeve in the Oct. 22 municipal election, was censured by township council.

Several restrictions were placed on her, because she had been found to have harassed town staff, after an independent, third-part in-

vestigation.

Kerr said that the township has an annual legal fee budget of about $50,000.

"We are probably over the $200,000 (mark) now," said Kerr, in regards to the legal fees incurred over the Farrell matter.

The Burgess Ward councillor vehemently denies this. The $200,000 in legal fees were "the fault of the chief administrative officer (Larry Donaldson) and the reeve," she said during a telephone interview later in the afternoon of Sept. 10. "Keith is trying to make it out that I'm not supposed to be in any in camera meetings," something she and her lawyer disagree with.

(Kerr stated that the

Keith Kerr

Judy Farrell

more than $150,000 over budget will likely be paid out of township reserves, but, in time, to replenish those reserves, "it'll have to be soaked up in levies. It's quite costly.")

She reiterated that the "accusations of harassment are so untrue," that she "never talked to staff," adding that "it's all been blown out of proportion," and that any disagreements could have been solved by a meeting between herself, Kerr and Donaldson.

"The taxpayers in our township are so fed up with what is going on," she said.

"It's getting way out of hand."

Referring to Kerr's Sept.

7 press release, Farrell said that Kerr's assertion in the release (Kerr's press release never mentioned Farrell by name) that a councillor refused to leave a meeting was "not true," and she added that she even voted against releasing the press release in the first place. "They are going by their lawyer's rec-

ommendations, which does not (necessarily) make it legal."

She further denied that she attended any in camera meetings this past January where her case was discussed.

In a follow-up email later in the afternoon on Sept.

10, Farrell added that "it has personally cost me over $30,000 to defend myself against the false accusations I have endured and much, much more of the taxpayers' money to defend staff."

They’re going back to school.

DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@ metroland.com It was not the first time the Governor General's Foot Guard band has performed at St. Paul's United Church in Perth - but it was their first time performing on their new renovated sanctuary platform.

The show was held on the afternoon of Sunday, Sept. 2, and it was a "brilliant performance," according to Kirk Lidbetter, chair of the church's communications and technology team. The "facility is now accessible for those with mobility issues," wrote Lidbetter in an email exchange with this newspaper on Sept. 4. As a local business owner, he said that the renovations, allowing for "both worship and community use," saw a "significant financial investment," and created business for local trades, while maintaining the building's heritage look. These changes will, he hopes, make the

Open House There is more to come at St. Paul's later in the month too. On Saturday, Sept. 15, the church will host an open house for the Perth community. There will be guided tours and refreshments from 1 to 4 p.m. that day, with opening ceremonies and musical performances from

2 to 3 p.m., at 25 Gore St. W., produced by Brad Mills.

The afternoon will see the official launch of St. Paul's "Creative Community Hub," which includes: • A new elevator • A new platform • A redecorated sanctuary • A new audiovisual system with hearing assist devices available • Upgrades to the D'Arcy Street entrance

• Restored stained glass windows • A new universal washroom • A new 12 inch by 12 inch screen for better visuals • Refurbished organ • Sanctuary freshly painted • An air-conditioned sanctuary There will also be a celebratory worship service on Sunday, Sept. 16, starting at 10 a.m.

In the press release, Rev. Gerry Kerr said that these upgrades "will enhance our ability to grow into our own sense of identity as a spiritual hub in the community for creativity, discovery, and growth."

Also in the press release, the project's chair, Bob Sneyd, said that "reimagining and redesigning this heritage space ... provides a versatile venue for a wide range of expression through worship, the performing arts, as well as a forum for educational pursuits and public discourse."

OPINION EDITORIAL

COMMUNITY NEWS IN THE DIGITAL AGE What is the role of a community newspaper in 2018?

This is a question we take seriously here at Metroland, where we pride ourselves in our dedication to bringing the communities we live and work in news that is important to them.

We're finding that certain kinds of stories that were relevant 20-plus years ago are no longer so due to technological advances like smartphones and social media platforms.

For example, our papers have traditionally covered high school graduations and first days of school. But lately we've been asking ourselves if this sort of coverage is really the best way to serve our communities?

Anyone with a Facebook account knows to expect their feed flooded with all their friends' kids' adorable back-to-school photos every year on the first day of school.

Everyone who knows and cares about each of these kids will see and appreciate these photos. Would a reporter's time not be better served digging deeper into issues that impact the community as a whole?

Analytics also tell us that people care about local business stories, but not necessarily the kind that have traditionally been covered by community papers.

Readers want to know about good local places to eat and if a new kind of store is coming to town; they care less about ribbon cuttings and cheque presentations.

Perhaps once again, technology is a factor.

Most businesses have their own Facebook pages these days, and if the owner wants to hand a huge cheque to a local charity, they can tell the world about it themselves via social media.

The same can be said of sports coverage. What purpose does it serve for your local paper to recap games and list scores when most leagues and teams have their own websites and social media pages that do the exact same thing?

We're confident that if a local team or athlete has a good story to tell, this is indeed best handled by one of our trained journalists.

But in terms of the day-to-day reports, does it really serve anyone for us to be "competing" with, say, the Smith Falls Bears' Facebook page?

Times change, and like every other industry, we must change with them. One thing remains the same, however, and that is our dedication is to factual, relevant reporting.

Our role as a trusted news source is not something we take lightly, and our goal will always be to bring our readers stories and information that are important to them.

Times change, and like every other industry, we must change with them.

WHO WE ARE

CANDIDATE CO-ORDINATION CAN BE FRUSTRATING AT TIMES THE DEADLINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED, WRITES LAURIE WEIR LAURIE WEIR Column

Well, a few weeks ago, Ashley Kulp (fellow news editor) and I sent out emails to some 150-plus election candidates requesting answers to those burning questions: Why should we vote for you? Who are you, and how are you going to make a difference?

We also asked for a photo. Easy stuff, we thought.

Sound familiar? I do hope so. If you have already sent in your info, thank you!

If you haven't, it's not too late. Deep breath!

I do need to apologize. I forgot Montague participants, so there is a new deadline - Sept. 16, 4:30 p.m.

For everyone!

We have a love-hate relationship with this election process. We are tasked with collecting these tidbits and photos, editing them, and colour correcting the photos. We then package and send them to our pagination team for publication.

We had a deadline of Sept. 7; but of course, that is not the real deadline. No siree. We have extended that now for a variety of challenging reasons.

Some of the excuses for missing deadlines are hysterical!

• "As you can appreciate, I have just been so busy..."

(Not sure what to say in response.)

• "Is this photo OK?" - (In comes a screengrab png.

Oh, did I mention there were five people in the photo, so the headshot of the candidate is going to be the size of a postage stamp.)

• "I know how important deadlines are..." (No, clearly you don't, but it gets bet-

ter). "I work for a newspaper." (Brilliant, so you DO know the importance of deadlines.)

• "I don't have a photo..."

(Great, we can insert a cat picture.)

• "I am not good at computing..." (Perfect, you may want to get up to speed before elected to office.)

• "Can I get an extension, please?" (Sure, why not.

Our deadlines are not that important.)

• Five consecutive emails from one person with changes in each one. (Ugh.) • Anything but word documents and jpg files.

We are hoping to have our special election section out in a couple of weeks.

OPINION

I wish to announce that I am no longer a candidate for the office of the mayor of Lanark Highlands. In doing so, before I go any further, I would like to thank the staff and ratepayers who have supported me during the last three terms of council and especially those whose unwavering support, dedication and commitment I will never forget - you know who you are!

I would also like to recognize the support we have received from the Lanark County staff and council. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with and representing the people of Lanark Highlands. Moreover, I am very proud of the excellent team that we now have in Lanark Highlands, built with the collaboration of the majority of council and the highly qualified staff at the township office.

In my view, the municipality is now positioned for success and although I wish that I could have been further along with my agenda, I feel that we have accomplished the most important work.

The foundation has now been set and we have resolved many financial issues as well as uncovered most areas of weakness and liability. Solid and sustainable measures have been put in place to address those shortfalls.

Although some who are running for this term would like to make you think that a council has a lot more power and flexibility than they do, I would like to remind you that we are bound by the legislation that governs municipalities. If they become your elected representatives, they too will be bound by and held to the very same standard as this council has been. It is quite easy to make claims and promises without the knowledge and understanding of what is involved in running a municipality in 2018 and the fiscal challenges and accountability that go along with that responsibility.

Lanark Highlands has a finite amount of resources and as I promised, it has been my focus to ensure that your tax dollars have been allocated in a well thought

out and planned way without impacting your services.

Some accomplishments this term that I am particularly proud of are: • Although we were forced to absorb an increase of $539,000 (94 per cent) in policing costs, we kept the tax increase to 0.7 per cent for the whole four year term.

Many municipalities simply passed on the policing increase to taxpayers.

• The tax rate gap with other rural municipalities in this area has been reduced from 42.6 to 18.6 per cent. A more competitive tax rate will help encourage development in our township.

• Facing significant repair costs on aging vehicles and used equipment purchased last term, we embarked on a program to get some new equipment. In 2017 we purchased two new public works trucks at a cost of $510,000 and this year we have budgeted $400,000 for a new grader and $125,000 for a sidewalk plow. Despite these purchases, we will still end up with $825,000 more in the reserves than we had at the beginning of the term.

• During this term we will have invested almost $3.6 million resurfacing 118 kilometres of roads, repairing two bridges and replac-

ing one bridge.

• We dealt with some urgent needs in the fire department to ensure the volunteer fire personnel are able to carry out their duties in a safe manner. We have established reserves by setting aside funds each year to replace the self- contained breathing apparatus and to bring the bunker gear up-to-date. Despite the 0.7 per cent increase in taxes, the fire services budget has been increased by 12.1 per cent during this term.

Though we have come so far along this term, my mother's very recent passing has forced me to evaluate my work/life balance as well as to reflect on how I want to spend my life as I move forward.

I have willingly and happily dedicated the last 12 years of my life to Lanark Highlands but it has come at a significant cost to my personal financial goals as well as to my family life.

During my tenure, I have been blessed with the birth of two granddaughters but my wife and I have sadly missed a considerable amount of their younger years. Life is precious and we have decided that it is time for us to spend more of our leisure time doing the things we enjoy and to

spend time with our family who have taken a back seat to my political career.

It is for those reasons and others that I am announcing my withdrawal as a candidate for mayor.

On Election Day, I encourage you to think carefully about the candidates you vote for. Take the time to speak with them and ask them directly how they plan to fund and follow through on their election promises, as there are many grandiose ideas and statements being made.

Certainly don't rely on media of any kind to provide you with an accurate and unbiased account.

I'm sure you will already know that I am in full support of reelecting Deputy Mayor John Hall. He has worked tirelessly to ensure that the township is in a good financial position and he continues to focus on closing the tax gap to stimulate economic growth and development - my vote and support is definitely behind John Hall.

Whatever the outcome, I wish the new council and the ratepayers of Lanark Highlands much success as they navigate today's challenging times.

Juno Award winner Steve Strongman kicks off the 14th season of Blues On The Rideau at The Cove Inn, Westport Sept. 28 Richard Amery from L.A. Beat magazine has called Steve Strongman his "new favourite Canadian bluesman ... a hidden treasure everyone should discover".

This wonderfully talented guitarist/ singer/songwriter from "The Hammer" (Hamilton, Ontario) has achieved some very impressive recognition since he started his Blues career 11 years ago: three of his six albums have been nominated for Juno Awards and he won in 2013 for "A Natural Fact".

He's also been nominat-

ed for, and won, multiple Hamilton Music Awards and Maple Blues Awards including Guitarist, Songwriter and Album of the Year. And he's a fantastic, high-energy entertainer - a true showman.

This marks Steve's 6th visit to The Cove - the fourth with his band and he's appeared twice solo acoustic. He's the perfect choice to kick off the 2018/ 19 season - the 14th year for this very popular Dinner & Show Fundraiser Series one of the best of its kind in Canada.

BOTR has nine shows this season, once a month from September to May (December excluded). All of the bands are truly some of Canada's best and it's

Submitted/Steve Strongman Steve Strongman will headline Sept. 28 at The Cove in Westport during the Blues on the Rideau series kick-off. such a treat to see talent this good in the intimate up-close-and-personal setting at The Cove.

OPINION

I'M SORRY, I SPRAINED MY WHAT? STEPHANIE GRAY SWEARS THERE ARE PROPER SIT-UPS IN HER FUTURE STEPHANIE GRAY Column

I bet you've all been wondering how my summer challenge went, right? I can picture y'all sitting by the front door, waiting for this newspaper, thinking: "Surely this is the week she will tell us!"

Right?

OK, well, whatever.

Just in case you need a refresher on what I'm talking about, the "Summer Challenge" is a motivational activity issued by my awesome club: Port Elmsley Karate. Students are encouraged to set a self-improvement goal in addition to regular training.

This can be related to karate or other physical fitness, or some other goal. It can involve giving up something - such as chips or coffee.

One student pledged to get more sleep.

At the end of the summer, the senseis choose a winner, and there is a prize!

Spoiler alert: I won't be getting a prize.

Despite my sincere enthusiasm for the concept, I usually have mixed results with this challenge. The first year I did it, I set lofty fitness goals that were thwarted by my wonky knee, but I did pretty well. The next year I went a little nuts and basically set myself up for failure: Give up chips, salt AND caffeine while doing a giant pile of fitness stuff ? And maintain this when on vacation? Right.

This year I figured I was set. I made one simple goal: To be able to do at least 10 decent, non-embarrassing, respectable pushups in a row. (I seriously can't do a decent push up to save my life. It's very sad.)

You may remember in an earlier column, when I outlined this goal, I also mentioned that mere days after submitting it I managed to mess up my shoulder.

I did so while making an effort to support myself using my awesome(ly nonexistent) upper body strength. (Fail.)

So, that was a setback. Eventually, though, I could dress myself without pain and there was hope that maybe all was not lost.

Around the time when it might have been conceivable to salvage the challenge, we went on our lovely cottage holiday. You may recall I mentioned hurting my back while bending over to pick up something unmemorable, like a fluff or piece of paper. My back said "ping!"

Yeah, I know. I am ridiculous.

I endured the fallout for a couple of

weeks, but when it started to get worse instead of better, I sought an intervention. (I had really been hoping to get away with no need for appendage fixes for at least a month.)

I visited my chiropractor. "You've sprained your back," he said.

I what now? Is that even a thing?

On my next visit, I double checked because I'm also half deaf, you know.

"Sprain" rhymes with "strain," after all.

Yep. He said "sprain."

The good news is, I have been forced to ask people to help me with heavy things, like laundry baskets, bins full of apples and boxes of books that need to be moved.

(Win!) The other good news is it's not the worst thing ever and it's getting better quickly thanks to the intervention.

"So," I asked at one appointment, "what should I do differently to avoid spraining my back?" I think this is an especially good question since I wasn't lifting heavy things or doing back flips or karate throws at the time. I was picking up fluff or something.

He demonstrated proper lifting techniques, but also stressed that keeping one's core strong helps the ligaments, etc., to support the spine.

Right. I guess I should get back to that.

And all the other exercises my appendage fixers give me.

I swear ... some day I will be able to do a pushup or 10.

WESTPORT'S WRITERS READING SERIES OF AUTHORS ANNOUNCED FOR SEPT. 22 EVENT The 11th annual Writers Reading at the Westport United Church, will be held Saturday, Sept. 22 from 1 to 5:30 p.m. It features leading Canadian authors Ian Hamilton, Djamila Ibrahim, Adrian Michael Kelly and Jeanette Lynes. The reading is sponsored by the Friends of Writers Reading, Westport.

IAN HAMILTON It was a life-threatening health scare that prompted Ian Hamilton to write the first in his series of captivating Ava Lee novels. Just days out of hospital and recovering from surgery, Ian sat down at his computer.

The name Ava Lee came to him and the first chapter was quickly written. A few short weeks later, the first Ava Lee novel was complet-

ed. The twelfth and thirteenth novels in the series were published this year.

Hamilton began his career as a journalist and wrote a non-fiction book in 1968, The Children's Crusade, an insider's look at the Company of Young Canadians. He has written for several magazines and newspapers in Canada and the U.S., including Maclean's, Boston Magazine, Saturday Night, the Regina LeaderPost, the Calgary Albertan and the Calgary Herald. He has been a senior executive with the federal government and has worked internationally as a diplomat and businessperson. The years he spent travelling the world on business, spending countless hours on planes and in hotels, became important influences

on his writing, providing personal insights ("intimate familiarity," Ian calls it) into the world of business and the many people, places and cultures Ava Lee encounters.

His inspiration for the Ava Lee series did not end when the first book was complete. About half way through writing the first book, an idea for the second book came to Ian and he built it into the plot of the first. He began writing the second book the day after the first book was finished.

He has followed the same practice with all the subsequent books in the series effectively one long novel.

The books have been published in more than twenty countries, in some eight languages. They have been shortlisted for many

awards and have made multiple bestseller lists, including Amazon, Quill and Quire, and the Toronto Star. BBC Culture recently named Hamilton as one of the top crime/mystery writers from the last 30 years that you had to have on your bookshelf. They have all been optioned for film and television. The first book in the series, The Water Rat of Wanchai, is scheduled to go into production this fall. And the first of his new Uncle series will be published in January 2019.

This is Hamilton's second appearance in Westport. He lives in Burlington, Ont., with his wife Lorraine.

DJAMILA IBRAHIM Djamila Ibrahim is a fiction writer and freelance editor currently living and working in Toronto. Her debut short story collection Things Are Good Now is one of Now Magazine's 10 Books To Be Excited About in 2018, and has made several CBC lists of Books/Writers To Watch For in 2018.

The nine stories explore the impact of political instability on the lives of East African refugees and immigrants. The collection has been reviewed enthusiastically in the Toronto Star, Literary Review of Canada, Quill and Quire, This Magazine, the Globe and Mail, and Toronto Life. Ibrahim's stories have been shortlisted for the University of Toronto's Penguin Random House Canada Student Award for Fiction and Briarpatch Magazine's creative writing contest. She studied writing with and was mentored by Zoe Whittall, author of The Best Kind of People, who read in Westport in 2017.

Things are Good Now explores the lives of women, men and children who've crossed oceans and continents in search of a better life to find themselves struggling with the chaos of displacement and the religious and cultural clashes they face in their new homes. But it's also about hope and friendship and the intricacies of human relationships.

Ibrahim was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and grew up in Ottawa. She worked for the federal gov-

ernment for 10 years, most recently as a senior adviser and an editor for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.

ADRIAN MICHAEL KELLY Adrian Michael Kelly is the author of the 2005 novel Down Sterling Road from Coach House Books, and the new short story collection The Ambassador of What from ECW Press due in October. His short fiction has appeared three times in Best Canadian Stories and in the Journey Prize Anthology. His essays and journalism have appeared in the Globe and Mail, the Calgary Herald, CNQ: Canadian Notes and Queries, and other periodicals. An experienced editor of three magazines and thousands of manuscript pages, Kelly also helps other writers and professionals unlock their full potential, and produce their best work, from novels to plays and grant proposals or business plans and career-change strategies.

Following a BA from Trent University, and an MA from Queen's, Kelly lived in South Korea, Switzerland and Italy before returning to complete a PhD in English (with a creative writing focus) from the University of Calgary in 2004.

He has taught at Saint Mary's University, Halifax, and Memorial University, N.L. Kelly grew up in Campbellford on the shores of Trent River above Peterborough. He currently lives in Kingston and teaches at Queen's University.

JEANETTE LYNES Jeanette Lynes is the author of two novels and seven collections of poetry. Her first novel, The Factory Voice, published in 2009, was longlisted for the Scotiabank Giller Prize and a Re-Lit award. It was also named and a Globe and Mail Top 100 book for 2009.

Her much-anticipated second novel, The Small Things that End the World, was published to wide acclaim this summer. Her poetry collections have won a variety of awards and prizes, including the 2016 Saskatchewan Art Board Poetry Award, the 2010 Nick Blatchford Occasional Verse Award, the Bliss Car-

man Poetry Prize, and been shortlisted for two Saskatchewan Book Awards and the Pat Lowther Memorial Award. She holds a PhD in English (Canadian literature) from York University, and an MFA in writing from the University of Southern Maine.

Her writing has appeared in literary journals and anthologies in Canada and abroad, and her work has also been featured on CBC Radio. She has taught creative writing at the Banff Centre, the Sage Hill Writing Experience, St. Francis Xavier University and the University of Manitoba. Lynes has been a visiting writer at Queen's University, Kingston and the University of Manitoba.

She was Pathy Visiting Professor of Canadian Studies at Princeton University in 2003, Writer in Residence at Saskatoon Public Library (2005-2006), Kingston Writers' Festival (2013). She is a former editor at the Antigonish Review. In 2017 she was a visiting fellow at Bard Graduate Centre in New York City, and earlier this year a visiting fellow at the University of Edinburgh's Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities.

RESEARCH WORKSHOP Lynes will host a workshop from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. at the Westport United Church, "Using Research in Writing; Or, How to Nerd Out on Your Writing Project, and Love it."

For writers, the word "research" can stir shudders of aversion or the anticipation of tedium. The session will explore best practices with respect to using research material and will include several short writing exercises and ample opportunity for questions and discussion.

The workshop is intended for writers of fiction, poetry, creative non-fiction who are just starting out or who are advanced. Remember to bring paper and a pen. The cost is $50, and contact Audrey Ogilvie at greenhall@rideau.net or call 613-273-7781 to register.

Tee and coffee will be provided. Maximum 30 spaces available.

Education, in early childhood as well as elementary, secondary and post-secondary school years, is part of your overall health and well-being.

Education and literacy is a social determinant of health and a valuable investment for all communities. Being able to read, write and communicate our needs is an important part of realizing our own potential.

ondary education

How can parents support and plan for post-secondary education?

The Government of Canada wants to support the dreams of children across Canada through the Canada Learning Bond. E-

ven if you do not add any money, your children could be eligible for an RESP to kick start their dreams after high school. Go to www.StartMyRESP.ca/LeedsGrenville to find our more and see what is possible.

"The Canada Learning Bond plants the seed for education after high school. Even a small

amount of money set aside for education speaks volumes to children that their parents or caregivers value education and they see the benefit in finding a job for which they have passion," stated Tanis Brown, registered nurse.

For more information on education, visit the Leeds, Grenville

and Lanark District Health Unit's website at www.healthunit.org or call 1-800-660-5853.

IT'S NEVER TOO EARLY TO PLAN FOR YOUR CHILD'S EDUCATION

Why is education important?

People with higher education tend to be healthier than those with lower educational attainment. In a 2013 survey on the social determinants of health, respondents rated education as the second lowest of 10 factors rated that make a person healthy. Health and level of education are closely linked. People with higher education tend to have higher incomes, job security and better working conditions.

LEGION WEEK SEPTEMBER 16th - 22nd, 2018 President’s Message

Perth Legion donates $7000 to Project Trauma Support. https://www.insideottawavalley.com/news-story/8771170legion-supports-veteran-attending-perth-s-projecttrauma-support/

The Royal Canadian Legion has a long history of proudly supporting Veterans.

When the First World War came to an end, numerous Veterans groups and regimental associations representing service members were created. In 1925, the Legion was founded as “The Canadian Legion of the British Empire Services League”. After World War ll, new demands were created for Veterans support. In 1960, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ll gave her consent to use the prefix “Royal”, thus the present name “The Royal Canadian Legion” Today, the Legion continues to improve the lives of Veterans, serving members of

Canadian Armed Forces, RCMP, and their families.

HISTORICAL SOCIETY DISCUSSES 200 YEARS OF FREEMASONRY IN PERTH With an acknowledgement back to Perth's bicentennial in 2016, the Perth and District Historical Society meeting on Sept. 20 will host a presentation on True Briton's Masonic Lodge, which is celebrating its 200th year.

True Briton's Lodge was instituted in the

Perth Military Settlement on Sept. 24, 1818.

This event will be celebrated by a Banquet and Lodge meeting in the presence of the grand master of the order on Sept. 22.

Freemason Gary Waterfield, also a member of the historical society, informed the lodge in June

that it had been invited to present a paper on the history of the lodge.

James Doel, current master of the lodge, commissioned a senior member, Stuart Howard, to prepare and present the paper on the lodge's behalf. Howard has based the paper on the extensive archives of the lodge.

Highway 15 North, Smiths Falls 1-800-267-9256 • www.rallyhonda.com

The objective of Freemasonry has always been to instil and impress morality and to encourage patriotism and community service among its members.

Over two centuries, members of this lodge have risen to positions of leadership in every aspect of community life: agriculture, trade, business, education, politics and the churches.

The paper recounts the difficulties of establishing and maintaining a lodge in a pioneer settlement. It outlines this community involvement and also explains some of general history and philosophy of the fraternal order including its relationship with church and state.

The requirements for becoming a Freemason and the duties and obligations expected of one will be outlined as well.

Stuart Howard, the author and presenter of this paper, has been a Freemason for 47 years, 41 of them at True Brit-

on's. He served a term as master of that lodge and 12 years as its secretary.

He has published numerous articles on Freemasonry and for 16 years has edited the lodge newsletter, Highlights.

In 2012, he was made a grand steward of the Grand Lodge of Canada.

Howard earned an honours degree in history from Queen's University in 1975, and then began a lifelong career as a teacher and educational administrator, finishing in Lanark County in 1993 after 10 years as the director of education.

He holds an M.Ed. from Queen's, a B.Th. in theology from St. Paul University (Ottawa) and numerous teaching certificates.

The Perth and District

Historical Society is dedicated to learning about and popularizing our history, and celebrating our area's rich culture and heritage.

The meetings are open to the public on the third Thursday of each month, at 7:30 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion, PerthUpon-Tay, Branch 244, home of the Hall of Remembrance, 26 Beckwith St. E. in Perth. The usual "Toonie Fee" applies for each meeting.

For information, contact Ellen Dean at 613264-8362. Our website at www.perthhs.org has information about us and items of interest related to Perth and district.

DEDICATION OF BYRNE BIG CREEK NATURE PRESERVE SET FOR SEPT. 22

LISA RITSKES

You are invited to join Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust (MMLT) and the family of Joel Byrne for a celebration of his generous donation of the Byrne Big Creek Nature Preserve, now protected in perpetuity.

The formal dedication of the preserve will take place on Saturday, Sept. 22, at 2 p.m. After a short ceremony, mingle to reminisce about Joel's love of all aspects of the natural world.

For those interested, there will be a short guided walk on one of the wilderness foot paths.

This ecologically significant property was bequeathed to MMLT by Byrne, who was a dear friend and longtime sup-

porter of the land trust and the local field naturalists clubs. By entrusting Big Creek to MMLT, Byrne fulfilled his dream of protecting forever this special place. You can now share his deep love of this land where he fed the squirrels, chipmunks and birds, roamed the meadow, woods and fen, and took his canoe down Big Creek to McCulloch Mud Lake. This beloved bit of wilderness also inspired him to write poetry. His cousins Larry and Jane Choquette feel that Joel's own words, taken from one of his poems, most aptly express his attachment to Big Creek: "Paradise at the edge of peace and happiness of my days." What a gift he has given us all.

Byrne Big Creek Nature Preserve is located adjacent to McCulloch Mud Lake, off the Mississippi River near McDonalds Corners. Most of the property is provincially significant wetland contributing marsh, treed swamp and fen habitat. The fen is a regionally uncommon habitat with a wide variety of interesting plant species. This summer, the large meadow was aflutter with an impressive diversity of butterfly and dragonfly species, including the monarch. The upland hardwood forest is home to a family of barred owls and a pair of fishers, among other creatures.

MMLT is a local charity that works with land owners wishing to save the land

they love for future generations. MMLT currently protects eight properties encompassing more than 2,600 acres.

An RSVP would be appreciated to give us an idea of how many might join us for the dedication. An account has been set up with Eventbrite for responses or you could let us know at lcarisse@mmlt.ca. As parking is also somewhat limited, carpooling is recommended.

Byrne Big Creek Nature Preserve is located at the bottom of Dalhousie Concession 6, off Watson's Corners Road in Lanark Highlands.

DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@ metroland.com Perth runner Thomas Somerville is the winner of this year's Glen Tay Block Race.

Somerville blazed across the finish line in front of the Perth Museum, 11 Gore St. E. on the evening of Thursday, Aug. 30, with a time of 51:19.

The fastest female time was recorded by Paula Wiltsie of Brockville, with a time of 58.48.

CNIB TRAINS GUIDE DOGS IN PERTH LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com There was lots of tail wagging going on in Perth recently as the legion turned into a doggy training centre.

A group of CNIB Guide Dog staff, including instructors, trainers, puppy-raiser supervi-

The knowledge gained in this seminar is instrumental in helping CNIB Guide Dogs train future guide dogs with greater efficiency and quality, using the most positive methods of training

"When we organized this event, we were very fortunate to find a great deal of support in the community of Perth," she said.

The Legion Branch 244 members "were so kind to facilitate

their hall for the seminar at no cost to CNIB Guide Dogs," she said.

While in Perth, Mas said, they were treated so well by the community, it was a pleasure to be here.

"The Lanark County Tourism office donated a wonderful bag of goodies to offer to our guest speaker, Michele Pouliot, a professional guide-dog instructor and expert in the field of clicker training. Michele travels the globe regularly, visiting different guide-dog schools and sharing her state of the art knowledge and expertise in this area."

CNIB Guide Dogs is always looking for volunteer puppy rais-

The half-dozen guide dogs on site during the training exercises were about 14 months old. The puppies are raised in homes until formal training begins at this stage of their lives.

CNIB launched the program on April 26, 2017, and its aim is to provide quality guide dogs to blind and partially sighted Canadians.

Prior to this, CNIB did not train their guide dogs.

"Our puppies are placed with volunteer puppy-raising families across Canada until they are about 12 to 15 months, at which time they come to Perth/Ottawa to start their formal training," Mas said.

CNIB is currently looking for volunteer boarders in Lanark County. The requirement is for five to seven months, for evenings and weekends only. The pups are already housebroken, obedience-trained, and are in the

and inviting their members to join the celebration. We believe that business leaders are often overlooked when discussion of social and health care resources are raised. That businesses are front and centre for this event shows how the Chambers regard their place in the creation of environments for youth development.

Don’t be a LitterBug! Please keep our community clean.

The Aviva Community Fund "Better Together" grant program that encourages communities to come together for the betterment of everyone likewise saw the potential for this event to successfully bring together community elements to learn from each other. The grant that they have proposed for this event will be deliv-

ered when Open Doors for Lanark Children and Youth submits a short video of event experiences. This video will appear on the Aviva Community Fund website later.

This event will also serve as a voting station and "official launch" event for our larger Aviva Community Fund Campaign

to help support the development of a Youth Innovation Space for Lanark County.

PLEASE RECYCLE OUR PAPER

Open Doors for Lanark Children and Youth, in partnership with the Carleton Place, Smiths Falls and Perth Chambers of Commerce and the financial support of the Aviva Community Fund Better Together grant program announces a community event in celebration of youth.

"Teens who lead, create and innovate and why businesses should care" is an event that will celebrate youth as innovators in the arts, sciences, technology and environment and will include displays of local youth projects. The important connection between youth engagement and successful communities is significant and Open Doors for Lanark Children and Youth wants the innovative passion of local youth to have opportunity to be recognized. The event will spark the development of innovations in products, services and civic engagement that can make Lanark a place to celebrate engaged youth and young adults committed to improving our social experiences. It is a complete experience in itself and also serves as the launch of additional projects that will build upon this one.

This is project builds upon the Art of Resilience project that Open Doors for Lanark Children and Youth presented during the summer that highlighted the art of youth from across the county.

The highlight of this event will be a community gathering scheduled for 7 p.m., Sept. 27 at the Carleton Place Arena (upper hall) during which youth will display and engage adult participants in stories of their skills, aptitudes and how these are significant for the well-being of a community.

We are pleased also that the chambers of commerce have agreed to collaborate on this project and have come together to assist in organizing for the event

SUPERWALK SURPASSES LAST YEAR'S TOTAL LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com In just its second year in Perth, the Parkinson SuperWalk Lanark County has raised more than its inaugural season of $31,000 with over 100 people taking part.

"We have already surpassed that," said co-chair Pat Evans, as she greeted the few hundred people who came out to participate in the walk from Conlon Farm in Perth. On Monday, Evans said that nearly $39,000 was raised.

"The fact that this event is gaining momentum speaks to the need for, as well as the impact of, new services and programs," said Evans. "Since last year's walk, new volunteers have come forward and more services are available locally. These include exercise programs, the creation of a new support group in Smiths Falls and educational workshops for health care professionals. As a result, people feel a new sense of hope that they can manage and live well with this disease."

Gayle Truman, the other co-chair of the event, noted that Evans had been recognized as Parkinson Canada's SuperWalk National Hero.

"If it wasn't for Pat, I wouldn't be here today," Truman told the crowd.

Both women have Parkinson's disease.

Evans, when accepting accolades from her friend, said there were no words.

She just hugged her friend, saying that if Truman was not in Evans' life, she wouldn't be here today either.

The national contest celebrates "everyday heroes" whose extraordinary hope fuels SuperWalk in communities across Canada. One must be nominated to be considered, and the

winner is chosen from nominations from across the country. Truman nominated Evans for the honour.

In a previous story shared about this honour, Evans said: "I have always believed that one person can make a difference but what has kept me going are those who face many more challenges than me with such grace. They are the true heroes."

Many enjoyed the cooler September temperatures to take in the walk some going as little or as far as they could.

For Almonte friends, Gerda Franssen and Faye Strong, coming to Perth has been great over the past two years.

Strong lost her brother, and brother-in-law to Parkinson's disease, and as she said: "I'll walk as long as I can. I do seven kilometres for each one - so I'll do 14 kilometres today."

Don McNaughton, a retired general who has Parkinson's, was surrounded by his family for the journey. Even his granddaughter Mary donned her SuperWalk cape and mask for the walk.

And for Cathy Lamport, also inflicted with Parkinson's, she was at the walk to support everyone who has the disease.

"I can't walk like I used to," she said. "Some days are better than others. I did too much volunteering with the committee already today, so I don't think I will be able to walk much."

Some 20 volunteers helped with the SuperWalk, and special guests included mayors from across Lanark County: Perth's John Fenik welcomed participants and guests to the town, while greetings were brought from Smiths Falls' Shawn Pankow, Westport's Robin

Jones, and Carleton Place's Louis Antonakos. Patricia Boal of CTV News was the MC for the event.

"The weather, the people and the money raised made for a perfect day," said Evans. "But it's the things that have happened between the SuperWalks that I'm most encouraged about. The connections we make, and the hope that results are what it's all about.

We made real progress this year and I feel confident that we can continue to do so in the year to come."

Over 100,000 Canadians are affected by this disease and many are not even aware that they have Parkinson's. Some are reluctant to discuss their concerns with their doctors.

Doctors may not be aware of some of the less obvious

symptoms like loss of smell or unexplained weight change or services, programs and strategies that can help. Other symptoms of this chronic and progressive disease can include muscle rigidity, tremor and depression.

"Awareness, support networks and access to care close to home can make a huge difference in people's lives, particularly in rural areas," said Evans.

"I want to thank my cochair Gayle Truman and the rest of the committee, our sponsors and our volunteers for making this event possible and for bringing hope to people living with Parkinson's."

Masonic Lodge In October 1839, some Masonic brethren from the village of St. Francis (later incorporated as the Town of Smiths Falls) opened a new lodge, initially using various locations in the village. In 1954, the lodge moved to its present site, formerly the Johnston Public School. Tours will showcase the symbolism of the Masonic order and its history in Smiths Falls.

It is also a sought-after venue for meetings and receptions.

Trinity United Church Built in 1885, this beautiful church seats up to 350 people and still features much of its original Gothic design – including ornate marble pillars and magnificent archways. Thanks to renovations in recent years, the 16 outstanding stained-glass windows have been lovingly restored.

And, with the installation of an elevator, the church is now fully accessible.

Lannin Funeral Home and Reception Centre This stone building occupied by Lannin Funeral Home was built in the 1840s. One of the oldest stone structures in Smiths Falls, apart from the Rideau Canal locks, it operated as a hotel in the 1850s. InA 1914, new owners started the funeral home. This beautiful building has been in the community for over 145 years.

Montague Food and Agriculture Museum Built with cedar from an 1850 barn, this building is a replica of a mid19th-century stack-wall machine shed once found throughout Lanark County.

It houses approximately 1,000 artifacts from the 18th and 19th centuries that relate to food and agriculture. Photographs of 19thcentury farm life will also be on display. The site is open by appointment outside of Doors Open.

CONSIDERING ADOPTING YOUR NEXT FELINE FRIEND FROM LAWS The Lanark Animal Welfare Society is featuring four friendly felines that are now up for adoption at the shelter.

This week's pets:

Vigorous Please say hello to handsome Vigorous, who was brought into LAWS at the age of two weeks, orphaned and alone. A LAWS volunteer took him into foster and fed him until he was able to eat on his own.

He earned is name because of his hearty appetite. Now, almost three months old, Vigorous is playful, enjoys playing with other cats, is inquisitive and purrs as vigorously as he eats!

He is ready to find his forever home from his foster home in Perth. Should you be interested in meeting him then please leave us a Facebook message or call the shelter with your phone number and the foster mom will call you to set up a meet and greet.

Melita Melita is a very friendly three-yearold female cat who was found astray walking the streets. This attractive black

beauty is always ready for play time but prefers to have her paws on the ground.

She likes to sit next to you for much appreciated affection.

Melita is good with the other cats in her room and would welcome a loving home.

Meka and Maguire Please meet Meka and Maguire. We think that these four-month-old kittens are brother and sister as they arrived together after they were rescued from the streets in Smiths Falls.

The staff at Pet Valu tells us that they are super friendly, very playful and really looking forward to find their forever home.

We hope they can go to a home together as they really enjoy each other's company! Two kittens are better and easier than one anyway as they can entertain each other while you're away or at work.

These two cuties are available at Pet Valu in Carleton Place.

Follow us at www.facebook.com/lanarkanimals and/or lanarkanimals.ca.

LAWS is located at 253 Glenview Rd., Smiths Falls.

ZERVOS, Evangelos

Born January 25, 1929 Agria Volos, Greece.

Passed away September 2, 2018 at the Hull Hospital. Beloved husband of Rita with whom he shared 64 years of marriage. He will be remembered by daughter Andrea (Edward) and her children Zoë and Evangelos and their father John, son George and his children Cicely, Lydia, and Cole and their mother Lana, and son Gerasimos “Gerry” (Pam) and their children Emma and Hannah and many other extended family members and friends. Evan immigrated to Canada to study electrical engineering at the University of Toronto. He had a successful and long career with Ontario Hydro and Arnprior Hydro. While in Toronto, Evan was involved in the Greek community and remained proud of his Greek heritage. He would happily talk about Greece with anyone who was interested. Evan and Rita eventually settled in Pakenham in 1976 and in his retirement years was a regular volunteer at the library. He especially loved spending time on their rural property near Perth. Sincere thanks to the many dear friends and family who supported him in the past year. Special thanks to Dr. Isabelle Delarosbil and the wonderful 6th floor team at the Hull Hospital who treated Evan with care and respect. A Funeral Liturgy will be celebrated in St. Peter Celestine Roman Catholic Church, Pakenham on Friday, September 7 at 11:00 am. Interment Parish Cemetery, Indian Hill Road, with reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, the family would encourage donations be made to the Arnprior Food Bank or the Dementia Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County.

Roddick John Grant, 81, passed away peacefully in his sleep during the early morning hours of Saturday, September 1, 2018 at the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital after a short illness. Born in Montreal, QC on September 12, 1936, Rod was raised by parents Rodderick Henry Grant and Gladys Vivian Nutbrown. Rod is pre-deceased by two spouses, Cheryl (Pye) Grant and Susan (Drapeau) Grant. They did not have any children. Rod is survived by his brother Ian and his wife Doris, their 2 children Chris and Joanne, 3 Aunts, 1 Uncle, many cousins, and countless friends. After attending Sir George Williams (now Concordia) University in Montreal, Rod moved to Ottawa to complete his education at Carleton University and then followed one of his passions - to become a teacher. His education efforts rewarded him with a long and fulfilling 30+ year career as a Secondary School English teacher at Bell High School in Ottawa ON. Rod was a man of many passions and talents. He ran a very successful Apiary and related business in Kinburn, ON for almost as many years as he was teaching. He volunteered his time, energy and talents to the Fire Services of West-Carleton Township and the Canadian War Museum. He and his wife Cheryl worked together promoting the performing arts at The Ottawa Little Theater.

Rod was very passionate about animals - he befriended many cats, was a strong supporter of PETA, the National Audubon Society, The Humane Society, and many other philanthropic endeavors. He had a keen appreciation of fine art / photography and Jazz / Classical music were always a constant presence in his home. Private interment will take place at the Grant family plot in the Huntingdon Protestant Cemetery in Huntingdon, QC. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in memory of Roddick John Grant to your local Humane Society or Volunteer Fire Service. Rod was a kind and giving person and will be sadly missed by everyone whose life he lit up with his special spark. In the professional care of the Pilon Family Funeral Home and Chapel Ltd., 50 John Street North, Arnprior.

HARD TO BELIEVE BUT HOCKEY SEASON UNDERWAY JEFF MAGUIRE ENCOURAGES FANS TO SUPPORT THIS HIGH LEVEL OF CCHL PLAY ACTION. JEFF MAGUIRE Column

On a sweltering Labour Day weekend the hockey season - yes hockey, already began in our region. I realize hockey is a year-round business in this country. But I am talking about league hockey and the beginning of a brand new regular season.

The Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) held its annual 'Fall Showcase' an event that ran for three days at Bell Sensplex in Kanata. Seems awfully early but the 12 team Jr. A league runs a long campaign that doesn't conclude until midMarch.

This year they partnered with the HEO Midget AAA league to organize a seasonopening extravaganza that featured 36 to-

tal games. The reason for so many contests in one arena complex is to give scouts an opportunity for an early look at the talent available in both the CCHL and the Midget AAA loop. More than 150 scouts from the National Hockey League, National Collegiate Athletic Association, the three Major Jr. A leagues and other related sports programs closely watched the action.

The Eastern Ontario-based CCHL features fast, entertaining hockey. I have been following and promoting the league for many years now and the only negative in my opinion is the lack of coverage the league receives from the daily media in this region. Admittedly in the midst of the fast changing internet era the mainstream media has taken a big hit. Contraction across the board means the media's ability to cover many things, including amateur sports, has suffered badly.

A good case in point is the recent Junior Club World Cup which was played in Sochi, Russia Aug. 18-26. An all-star team from the CCHL had the honour of representing Canada in the eight-team event played in the same facilities as the 2014 Winter Olympics.

The CCHL squad, nicknamed 'Ottawa Capitals' for the purposes of the competition, won third place bronze medals with a thrilling 2-1 shootout win over Red Bull Salzburg of Austria.

I didn't read or hear anything about the tournament in the daily media, either before, during or after the competition. I think that's sad considering the size of the growing Ottawa and eastern Ontario market!

Fortunately the community media, including this newspaper, did cover the tournament and they also follow the CCHL and other local sports throughout the season.

That aside I have been asked by loyal fans of the league and readers how the CCHL shapes up this season.

I'm not big on predictions! But I do think the results from the season opening Fall Showcase (Sept. 1-3) in Kanata provide some indication. Carleton Place Canadians, who just missed out on a fifth consecutive league championship last spring, falling to arch rival Ottawa Junior Senators, went 3-0 in the recent showcase event.

Their three victories in as many days included a 3-1 opening game decision over the Junior Sens who are currently rebuilding after a very successful 2017-2018 campaign.

Also posting perfect records during the showcase were Kemptville 73's and Hawkesbury Hawks. Two other CCHL teams from our area, Smiths Falls Bears and Brockville Braves, were both a solid 2-1.

Jr. A hockey in Canada and the United States (there are 10 leagues across the continent) is particularly interesting and important. Fans have the opportunity to enjoy the game at a high level and at the same time support leagues which are heavily focused on education, building character and helping provide a future for players.

Worthy goals in my opinion!

SPECIAL SURPRISE CREATED WARM MEMORIES, COLUMNIST MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column

As well as starting a whole new year back to the Northcote public school, September was a big month at the Lutheran Church too.

There would have been no Sunday school over the summer months. Every parent of every child who was a member of the church was expected to give regular instructions in the holy word instead.

Mother did the best she could with our nightly prayers, but with the summer months the busiest on the farm in the entire year, there was little time to give us lessons from the Bible.

That isn't to say we weren't constantly reminded of the Ten Commandments and all they meant.

Often, during the summer, the congregation was more sparse than usual,

but once we had turned the corner from August to September, the pews were full, and the few people who made up the choir were back in their places on straight-backed chairs at the front of the church. We were all back to Sunday school in the little room at the back, shut off from the congregation by a thin door which did little to shut out the booming voice of the minister.

Of course, that meant too, whoever was teaching Sunday school had to keep her or his voice low so as not to interfere with what was going on out front.

I loved Sunday school almost as much as I loved going to the Northcote school during the week. Especially if the teacher that Sunday (we often had a different teacher every week or so) would read us a story from a book and not ask many questions! She would read from a little paper booklet of just a couple of pages, and there was always a coloured picture on the front referring to the story inside.

We were allowed, afterwards, to take the paper home, which delighted me beyond words!

Once my brothers were over the junior grades at

the Northcote Side School, they were excused from Sunday school, and had to sit through the service with the congregation.

Of course, this didn't please my brothers one bit.

Emerson said it was all he could do to keep his eyes open and stop his head from falling down on his chest when the minister gave his sermon, which could go on for an hour or more, depending on how heated up he was on the evils of the day.

Emerson said he would much rather be in the back of the church in the Sunday school. But of course, his almost six-foot frame was beyond sitting in the little chairs we used, and so with Audrey, Everett and Earl, he had to sit with Mother and Father.

That first day back at Sunday school, we children were in for a wonderful surprise. The teacher had to time her lesson perfectly, so that as soon as the last hymn was sung, she had to wind up in a hurry.

That first day, as soon as the organist thundered out the first chord, our teacher reached behind her and took hold of a brown paper bag which looked like it had come from Briscoe's General Store, and she took out the

SEPTEMBER BROUGHT A RETURN TO SUNDAY SCHOOL

tiniest little red Bibles I had ever seen. In a low whisper, so as not to be overheard over the final hymn, she said each of our names and she handed out to us our very own little Bible.

In ink, inside, she had carefully printed our name, and we were told that she expected us to read from it every night before we went to bed.

I still hadn't learned to read well, and so that chore fell to my sister, Audrey.

Every night, Audrey who was high on religion at that time in her life, dutifully read a couple pages from my little red Bible. And then I would tuck it under my pillow, confident it would see me through until morning.

My brother Emerson, when he saw what I had been given and who loved a free handout, told Mother he wouldn't mind going to Sunday school the next week, and he was prepared to either stand through the whole service, or sit on the floor. Mother said he could forget it.

CANADA'S HEARTBREAK POETS A TREAT FOR THE EARS, WRITES STEVE TENNANT STEVE TENNANT Column

As we start our slide down with temperatures, leaving our toasty summer behind, fond memories hopefully prevail of this summer's special moments.

Be it beautiful vacation destinations, family or friend gatherings with all the stories and giggles, music festivals opening our ears to new artistic finds, these memories will hopefully get us through as we settle back into our fall routines...

I'm thrilled to announce the Lynnes (Lynn Miles and Lynne Hanson), Canada's heartbreak poets, will be gracing the Listening Room Series at the Perth Tea Room (Perth Restaurant) on

Sunday, Sept. 30 at 7 p.m. in support of Lanark County Interval House.

As many people have stopped me on the street to say how much they enjoyed the Lynnes at Stewart Park Festival in July, it's wonderful to be able to bring these two seasoned musicians back so soon.

With four Canadian Folk Music Awards and a Juno, Miles blends her sweet voice together with multi-award winning Hanson, creating a complimentary mix, fusing tight vocal harmonies with hauntingly gritty lyrics, satisfying to all who've heard them throughout their recent tours of North America and Europe.

Throw in their witty banter between songs and it's easy to see why Mike Davies of the U.K.'s folking.com stated, "Individually, both Lynnes are formidable forces in contemporary country, together they just might be unstoppable."

I've always enjoyed both these ladies' individual performances and, having heard their

blended voices, I can't wait to hear a full evening. They're currently showcasing their new album, Heartbreak Song for the Radio.

Tickets are $20. For dinner reservations and show only tickets, please call Sue at 613267-7902 to arrange payment. All tickets are to be paid for in advance. Tickets are already selling quickly so call soon. I look forward to seeing you there enjoying such wonderful talent and world class singer/songwriters, while supporting a worthy cause.
