PERTH MAN CHARGED WITH ATTEMPTED MURDER DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com A Perth man has been charged with three counts of attempted murder after members of the Lanark County Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) responded to a report of a man with a weapon at a residence on Brock Street South in Perth on Sunday, Sept. 30 at approximately

3 a.m.

Police say that upon arrival, officers established that three people had sustained serious injuries. Two women were transported by emergency medical services (EMS) to a local hospital and one adult male was air lifted to hospital by air ambulance outside of the area.

The OPP sent "everybody that was working," said OPP Cons. Da-

vid Bird, during a telephone interview on the morning of Monday, Oct. 1. "This would not be a single officer call."

Bird later described the male's injuries as "major injuries," while the injuries of the two females were described as "serious injuries." When asked if the incident was a stabbing, Bird said that "I cannot confirm or deny that."

The investigation is being con-

ducted by the Lanark County OPP Crime Unit, supported by East Region Forensic Identification Services Unit (FIS), and detectives from the East Region Regional Support Team (RST), under the direction of Detective Inspector Rob Hagerman of the Criminal Investigation Branch (CIB). Bird confirmed that HagerSee THREE, page 2

LOOK. LISTEN. LEARN. Fire Safety Checklist

LOOK for places fire could start

You don’t have to be a super sleuth to protect yourself and others from fire.

Take a good look around your home for fire dangers and address the problems.

Kitchen

❑ Anything that can catch fire is kept away from the stovetop. ❑ Children are kept 3 feet (1 metre) away from the stove and areas where hot food or drink are being prepared.

❑ Pets are kept off cooking surfaces and nearby countertops to prevent them from knocking things onto burners.

❑ Food that is simmering, baking, roasting, or boiling is being checked on by someone in the home.

Heaters

❑ Anything that can burn is kept at least 3 feet (1 metre) away from heating equipment. ❑ Children are kept 3 feet (1 metre) away from open fires and space heaters. ❑ Heating equipment and chimneys are cleaned and inspected every year by a qualified professional. ❑ Portable heaters are turned off when leaving the room or going to bed. ❑ The fireplace has a sturdy screen to stop sparks from flying around the room.

Electricity

❑ All electrical work is done by a qualified electrician. ❑ Only one heat-producing appliance is plugged into a receptacle outlet at a time.Extension cords are not used. ❑ Electrical cords are checked to make sure they are not running across doorways or under carpets.

LISTEN for the sound of the alarm

A working smoke alarm will clue you in that you need to escape. Fire moves fast.You could have only minutes to get out safely once the smoke alarm sounds. it’s newer than 10 years years. ❑ Test each smoke alarm, check the battery and expiration that it's alarm if youcheck havethe anybattery fuel burning appliances garage. ❑ Test each CO smoke alarm, and expiration thatorit'sattached newer than 10 years ❑ Make sure everyone in your home knows the sound of the smoke alarm and understands what to do when they hear it. ❑ Children, older adults, and people with disabilities may need assistance to wake up and get out. ❑ When the smoke alarm sounds, get out and stay out. ❑ Go to your outside meeting place. Call 9-1-1 or the fire department. ❑ Never go back inside for people, pets or things.

LEARN two ways out of every room

❑ Draw a map of each level of the home, showing all doors, windows and

two ways out of every room. ❑ Make sure all doors and windows that lead outside open easily. ❑ Practice day and nighttime home fire drills. Share your home escape plans with guests. ❑ If you live in a high-rise or condo, talk to the building manager about the evacuation plans. ❑ If you must escape through smoke, get low and go under the smoke on your way out. ❑ If you cannot get out, close the doors and cover the vents and cracks around the door with cloth or tape. Call 9-1-1 or the fire department.

REPLACEMENT FACILITY COULD COST $4.5 MILLION DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com The Lanark and District Community Centre has been shut down due to serious fire and safety concerns.

In a notice posted on the township's website on the evening of Tuesday, Sept. 25, Steven Potter, Lanark Highlands Township's acting clerk administrator, wrote that the municipality had received an engineering report and a fire safety briefing, after which "it was determined that the Lanark arena is in immediate need of repairs and updating to make the building safe for users," Potter wrote. "We took action to temporarily close the arena. While this action is regrettable, council and staff feel the need to ensure the safety of users is paramount. Staff is actively working to address safety issues."

Potter added that the township's "goal is to reopen the arena as soon as it is safe to do so," and that progress updates would be forthcoming.

"We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and thank you for your understanding," Potter wrote.

• Concerns about exposed wiring.

• Electrical wiring is not compliant with the electrical code.

At 10 a.m. on on Friday, June 8 fire inspectors Bill Bell, chief of the Lanark Highlands Fire Service (LHFS), and Captain Jamie Richards, also of the LHFS, inspected the arena at 67 Princess St. (The report was written on June 19).

By the second page of the report, the bad news began, with Bell and Richards finding that fire safety planning, emergency procedures, and a fire safety plan, were not present, and not satisfactory. The fire safety planning did not exist in the main entrance, with no evacuation "or egress route maps not present" in the lobby, change rooms, or hallways."

The report also detailed problems with the building's exterior: • Exterior heat venting was in disrepair and in need of cleaning or replacement.

• Anhydrous Ammonia Shut-Off Valve not labelled as required.

• Propane safety valve is not secured at all. "This needs to be secured as it is just hanging by the fuel line," the men wrote.

• There is no lock on the main propane tank outside of the building.

• Propane tanks are not secure. The key to access the tanks is easily accessible. The entire cage is not secure to the building, "creating a crush hazard."

• Stairs used to exit the building are not safe, and need replacing with a handrail to be added.

There was more bad news about the building's interior. Just some of the observations and recommendations include: • "Several more (fire) extinguishers (should be) mounted."

• One of several emergency lights did not come on when unplugged.

• One of the lights tested showed one of

or recovered," the inspectors wrote. The report contained a photo of mouse feces "in the general canteen where food is served." Further to this, many of the change rooms "smell of urine and human excrement as well." In one washroom, paper towel was being used to block a toilet trap. "Short cuts to health and safety issues, even small ones ... are rampant throughout this arena," they wrote.

Engineer’s Report and Followup Brandon Campbell of Eastern Engineering Group Inc., based in Brockville, conducted an audit of the property on Aug. 28.

Campbell's report, which was written on Sept. 19, was found to compliment the earlier fire safety report.

"It was recommended by our firm, based on the

observations, that the arena be decommissioned, and not normally occupied," wrote Campbell, until the recommendations had been acted upon.

The arena, wrote Campbell, was built in 1964, with dressing rooms added in 1989, an addition made to the main entrance in 1991, and an ice plant added in 2006. The main entrance was found to not be barrier-free compliant, and the building additions were not compliant with the building code.

The report then details even more problems with the arena, going into even greater detail, but the conclusions are stark.

"It is our recommendation to budget for the full replacement of the facility as soon as possible," wrote Campbell. "It is our opinion that continued operation of the facility on a regular basis would ... risk the safety of the public," before again recommending "the

immediate closure of the facility."

The report included a $4.5 million price tag for a new facility - with demolition alone costing $50,000.

Fire-Follow-up The issue went before a special council meeting on Monday morning, Sept. 24, and included a fire safety brief from fire chief Bill Bell, dated that same day.

"The Lanark arena is in immediate need of repairs and updating to make the building itself compliant with the Ontario Fire Code, as well as the Ontario Building Code," wrote Bell.

"Any Fire Code provisions will not remediate the identified structural issues."

Although he suggested restricting the occupant load of the arena, restricting access to the second floor, and restricting private functions, as well as removing combustible materials, and preparing a fire

"The fire department cannot be assured of how the building may perform during fire conditions," wrote Bell. This would mean "potentially exposing both the public and emergency responders to an unacceptable risk of injury caused by a fire if the building were to remain occupied."

HEALING FOREST MEMORIAL SYMBOLIZES HARDSHIP, HOPE AND HEALING PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com

R0013021901

The unveiling of the Healing Forest memorial was held Sept.

30 at Last Duel Park, in Perth.

The event recognized the damage done to Indigenous children in residential schools, as well as missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and two-spirit people.

A variety of speakers told their personal stories of loss and hardship, and spoke about their healing journeys.

Thomas Louttit, a Cree man from Moose Factory, was born "in the bush" and spent more than 10 years in the residential school system. He told his moving story, which detailed the abuse he endured as a child and the ultimate decision he made later in life to begin healing.

"When they took me away, they didn't believe my mom that I was only five years old," said Louttit. It was 1953. He said the priest and RCMP officers who took him away threatened his mother and grandfather at the time, telling them they'd go to jail if they resisted. As a young child, he thought he was boarding a plane to go play somewhere new.

Louttit began the memorial unveiling with an opening prayer, recited in his native Moose Cree dialect, which he was not allowed to speak in the residential school. He said having the freedom to speak in his native tongue makes him proud.

Flora Riley also spoke, a Métis woman, originally from Newfoundland and Labrador, who lost her sister, Daphne J. Brown, in 1970. Brown had been terribly

beaten by her husband, Andrew Brown, to the point that she needed to be hospitalized.

"After being in the hospital for a couple of days, on the day she was ready to go home, her husband went into her room with a 12-gauge shotgun, and he shot her in her hospital bed," said Riley.

At the time of her murder, Brown was only 23 years old, and a mother of three young children.

Riley has initiated the Red Dress Project in Smiths Falls, a unique way to recognize the absent Indigenous women, girls and two-spirit people who make up the population of under-investigated missing and murdered.

"I decided to hang red dresses on the Birch tree in front of my home in Smiths Falls in her memory, and for all the missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls."

It will be an annual event, taking place on May 8, which was Brown's birthday.

The Red Dress Project was created by Jaime Black, a Métis artist from Winnipeg, five years ago.

"We want Canadians to never forget the lost lives of all the Indigenous women and girls," said Riley. "The red dresses swing in the wind, each one representing a woman who is no longer around to wear it. People are missing from those dresses, they used to belong to someone. In a way, it is calling the spirits of these women and girls, and allowing us to speak for them."

Riley said the colour red was chosen as a way to unite the spirit of the cause, as a chance to call them back to be among us and to hear their voices again.

"Red represents their life's blood, which has been tragically spilled," Riley said.

The Red Dress Project is part of a Canada-wide art installation that represents more than 1,200 missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls.

The Healing Forest memorial is a large rock installation in the centre of Last Duel Park, with a National Healing Forest plaque.

The Perth Healing Forest committee wishes to acknowledge the volunteer work of the following members: Mary Wright, Mireille LaPointe, Roberta Peets, Chris Luscombe-Mills, Sarah Hood, Francine Desjardins, Barb Cassidy and Maureen Bostock.

Paulina Hrebacka/Metroland The Healing Forest Memorial unveiling was held n Last Duel Park in Perth on Sept. 30. The event recognized the damage done to Indigenous children in the residential school system, and featured guest speakers who told their personal stories of tragedy, loss, and reconciliation. The event also recognized missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit people, with red dresses to symbolize their absence, as part of the Red Dress Project.

AN UNEASY TRADE VICTORY Well we won ... didn't we?

Canada's new free trade deal with Mexico and the United States is, well, done, we can at least say that.

The deal was reportedly reached just a few hours short of the clock striking midnight this past Sunday, Sept. 30.

It could not have come at a more dicey time - less than 12 hours later, Quebecers were waking up and heading to the polls.

You can't make this stuff up, folks.

Parti QuĂŠbĂŠcois leader Jean-Francois Lisee wasted no time in posting a video online condemning the pact - essentially saying that Quebec's dairy farmers had been thrown under the bus in exchange for saving Ontario's auto industry.

The new deal (NAFTA is dead, long live USMCA?) does do one important thing immediately - it avoids a prolonged trade war. There will be no Brexit moment here. Free trade will still cross both borders.

But there is one important sticking point.

The tariffs on steel are still, as of this writing, still on, which has a negative impact on local businesses, like Central Wire in Perth. Those tariffs need to come down, and soon. (Negotiations continue there.)

Now, as for opening up the dairy industry, it's complicated. Yes, you may be able to get access to more American milk, and prices may go down. That's what competition does.

(And somewhere, you just know that Maxime Bernier is smirking, eyes twinkling, looking at his old leader, Andrew Scheer, thinking, "I told you so!" It was dairy farmers, many from his own Quebec, that cost him the Conservative Party leadership to Scheer by a narrow margin.)

And was Canada's stand on supply management, protecting Canadian farms, not a deal-breaker? Apparently not.

But in Lanark County, we are home to cattle and dairy farming. These are family businesses. These are our neighbours. Can the family farm compete against big American agri-businesses, who already produce too much milk as it is?

The feds are promising compensation - but to what amount? And will it be enough to save the family farm? And do the Americans still ply their dairy farmers with subsidies?

On the other hand, the Ontario economy has been helped, knowing that the auto industry will now not close up shop and head back home to Detroit.

Dealing with The Donald is not easy. Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland deserves plaudits (and a well deserved few days off) having to negotiate a deal that was never going to please everyone, dealing with an American side representing a mercurial president.

(Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called the deal "no easy feat." That's being diplomatic, sir.)

There are also improved labour and environmental standards in the accord, and our cultural industries remain protected.

The details are still to come.

It may not be all things to all people - a relief to some, a headache to others.

But we have a deal.

WHO WE ARE

VACATION MODE FOR A FEW WEEKS NEWFOUNDLAND HOSPITALITY AT ITS BEST, WRITES LAURIE WEIR LAURIE WEIR Column

I'm off for a few weeks to enjoy some much-needed time away before election night, so I won't be back in the office until then.

We're heading east for a while to visit with some of Sweet Baby's siblings. Lexi will be at her favourite "spaw" and Mom is looking after Jack-O. It will be fun to meet his family, finally.

He's the youngest of nine, so there are many people to meet.

I'm a little in awe of this Newfoundland hospitality, though. I was budgeting for hotel accommodations and a car rental.

"Don't be silly," Sweet Baby said. "We're staying with my sisters."

"No way," I said. "We

can't impose like that. It's not right."

"No babe," he said. "It's not right if we don't stay with them!"

A phone conversation with one of his sisters confirmed that we are indeed, not staying at any hotel.

OK, well that's one expense we won't incur.

Awesome.

"What about a car?

We'll need to rent one," I said.

"No, they have lots of cars," Sweet Baby said. "We can just borrow one."

"You've got to be kidding me?"

The last time I "borrowed" a car I wrapped it around a tree.

That was a 1979 T-Bird my mother's and no, I haven't borrowed her car since 1982. That's a long time for my mother to hold a grudge, but I get it.

"My sister has a Mustang," he said, a grin splitting his face. He knows that's my weakness. I have had - and wrecked! - a Mustang ... but I also have savoured and loved them.

(I've had five: a 1966 [3-

speed coupe, hardtop red!], 1980, 1986, 1994 [wrecked], and a 1996.) I love them because we are the same age.

"So borrowing a car won't be an issue?"

"No, it won't be," he assured me.

Sweet Baby also tells me that there is a cabin in the woods where we can hang out for a bit, but there is no electricity.

Excellent, it will be a perfect vacation. I can't think of a better place to spend our first anniversary.

Laurie Weir is the news editor for the Smiths Falls Record News and the Perth Courier. She and Sweet Baby are owned by a GSD, Lexi, and a rescue cat, Jack. She can be reached at ljweir@metroland.com but not until Oct. 22

OPINION

To the Editor, In Perth, the speed limit on most streets is 50 km/h and the rate of survival rate for pedestrians hit by a car at 50 km/h is only 15 per cent, but at 30 km/h survival is 95 per cent (Toronto Board of Health). Some drivers in Perth often travel 60 km/h or more, where the pedestrian survival rate is a chilling zero per cent.

Where there is an absence of four-way stops, speeders tend to use streets as speed corridors, and streets lacking sidewalks on one or both sides present an added danger.

On a positive note, Perth recently installed a new stop sign on Victoria Avenue near PDCI, and lights on two Gore Street pedestrian crossings. Bravo!

Again, bravo to Perth for designating a speed limit of 30 km/h on Smith Drive/Conlon Farm, where children play. But what about the youth playing on bikes, rollerblades and skateboards (who must be on the road as per bylaw 3961) where the speed limit is 50 km/h? If 30 km/h is a safe speed limit for youth playing near Smith Drive, with what logic is 50 km/h safe for youth playing on other streets?

Proposed solutions to the speed problems in Perth are clear-cut: 1. Reduce the speed limit and insist on the necessary enforcement 2. Eliminate speed corridors by placing fourway stops on applicable residential streets 3. Use speed bumps where possible to reduce speeding 4. Employ photo radar to catch speeders 5. Modify the walk lights at corners such that

speeding vehicles don't have a green light when pedestrians have a walk sign Tragically, years ago, falling ice killed a child in Perth. Our town is proactive now about putting up barricades to protect pedestrians from falling ice.

Let us also be proactive NOW by reducing our speed limits. Let us not wait for a pedestrian to be seriously maimed or killed.

Many communities have adopted speed limits of 40 km/h (Carleton Place and Westport), and 30 km/h in others; Toronto mayoral candidate Jennifer Keesmaat advocates for a 30 km/h speed limit on all Toronto residential streets.

We need the political will to fix this problem as well as applied enforcement to solve this dangerous issue. Therefore, we ask all candidates for municipal office to declare their commitment to solutions to the issue of speeding and pedestrian safety.

Please sign the online petition about speeding.

EXTRA SECURITY GIVEN TO FESTIVAL OF THE MAPLES AFTER TORONTO VAN ATTACK DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@ metroland.com With the 2018 edition of the Festival of the Maples coming less than a week after the Toronto van attack, Mayor John Fenik confirmed that extra security measures were taken to protect the event.

Fenik told Perth town council on Tuesday, Sept.

25, that there were "heavy trucks" parked at both ends of Gore Street East (with Craig and Foster Streets) and "that was not by accident. That was by design."

The van attack, which occurred on Monday, April 23, saw a van mount the curb and drive southbound on the sidewalk on Yonge Street in Toronto's north end, with the driver killing 10 people, and injuring 16 others. The Festi-

val of the Maples occurred Saturday, April 28.

"We parked heavy duty trucks to prevent something like that," said Fenik.

Fenik's comments followed on a report by Coun.

Ed McPherson, who attended a conference in his capacity as head of Lanark County's ambulance service, where he heard a speech by Clark County Fire Chief Greg Cassell, whose department covers Las Vegas, who responded to the Oct. 1, 2017, mass shooting that left 58 dead and more than 500 injured.

In Lanark County, "we practice for (active shootings) inside schools," said McPherson.

In Las Vegas, there had been training for shootings inside schools and other buildings - but not for an active shooter with

a four-mile range from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel.

As the shooting continued, panic set in as thousands of people, who had been enjoying a music concert below, began fleeing the scene.

"It was quite eye-opening," said McPherson of the speech.

Coun. Jim Boldt spoke about terror of a different kind later in the meeting, touching on the tornadoes that struck the village of Dunrobin, south suburban Ottawa, Gatineau, Quebec, and other areas of eastern Ontario like White Lake. "(We need to) recognize and be ready for any catastrophic event," said Boldt. "How quickly a quiet town can be put into chaos." He also offered a "hats off" to the first responders.

PDCI GOLF TEAM WINS COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIPS DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@ metroland.com Perth and District Collegiate Institute's golf team is the new Lanark County champion.

DNE TOWNSHIP READIES FOR TWO RECYCLING BOX SYSTEM STARTING IN NOVEMBER DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@ metroland.com Why, yellow there!

Get ready for two recycling bins, Drummond/ North Elmsley - a new yellow bin to go along with your old blue bin.

The township is looking to fall in line with their neighbours in Perth and Smiths Falls, starting the first week in November.

"We are now singlestream," explained DNE public works manager Scott Cameron, during an interview in Reeve Aubrey Churchill's office on

Wednesday, Sept. 12, in Port Elmsley.

"All of the recycling goes in one bin," now, said Cathie Green, a public works assistant.

Get ready to see two recycling bins in your garage or basement (or wherever you store your recycling bin): yellow and blue, with cardboard and fibres (e.g. paper) going into the blue bin, and containers (e.g. plastics) going into the yellow bin.

"We need you (citizens) to divide it into your two bins," said Green, noting that recycling bin pickup would alternate - yellow

bins one week, blue bins the next. Garbage pickup would continue to be weekly.

(In an Aug. 24 email, Green wrote that "this is good news because it will clean up the recycling stream, save money for DNE residents, and preserve landfill space.)

The new yellow boxes should be delivered by the municipality about the final week of October.

The township office has already seen a brisk sale in their compost program.

"Compost sales are rolling out the door like crazy," said Cameron.

Green commended residents for all of their buy-in when it comes to waste diversion and recycling: "Think globally, act locally.

People really get that they can reduce," she said. "By composting, you can divert up to half of your garbage," from landfill.

The whole initiative will cost about $35,000, though Green estimates that the

township will recoup these costs within the first two years. (They are receiving money from the province to cover a third of the cost.)

"We will have made back our investment and started making money," said Green, because the recycled paper, for example, made from DNE's recycled material created at the material recycling facility (MRF) will be of better quality, and therefore, of a higher value. With singlestream recycling, "the quality of paper ... has been decreasing," said Cameron.

At the end of April, the township heard from their MRF in Renfrew that "we will not process singlestream material anymore," and that the costs of recycling per tonne would rise from $140 to $190 per tonne to process. At that point, the township's only other option was trucking their waste to Northumberland, and "it gets cost prohibitive," said Cameron. "It

With this new two-box solution, "it's definitely going to save money, and environmentally it's a good move," said Green.

After the interview, during a photo shoot with a blue recycling bin and a compost unit in the municipality's front hall, outside council chambers, Green noticed that someone had, with the best of intentions,

thrown their Tim Hortons coffee cup into the blue recycling box.

"It's not that you can't recycle a coffee cup," she said, fishing it out of the box. It is more a matter that the MRF will not accept it for recycling because it is not straight-up cardboard or paper. She advises people to check with their municipality if they have questions about what can and cannot be recycled.

Don’t put...

Dirty containers in your recycling bin; it breaks the cycle.

Let us take the opportunity to grow in gratitude, and consistently express our love and appreciation to the people in our lives. And even more importantly, let us "give thanks to the Lord for He is good, and His steadfast love endures forever" (Psalm 136).

"Give thanks to the Lord for He is good, and His steadfast love endures forever."

SMITHS FALLS

At one point in his young life Chesterton, a nominal Christian with an increasingly atheistic view of life, experienced such deep despair that he was on the brink of suicide. The darkness did not win out, because as he later wrote, "I clung to religion by one thin thread of thanks. At the back of my brain, there was a forgotten blaze or burst of astonishment at my own existence."

By the grace of God, that "thin thread of thanks" and the "forgotten burst of astonishment at (his) own existence" drew him back from the edge of the abyss. He would later encounter Christ in a profound way and join his friend J. R. R. Tolkien (of Lord of the Rings fame) as a convert to the Roman Catholic Church.

The "attitude of gratitude" became central to his life. "I would maintain," he wrote, "that thanks are the highest form of

As we approach Thanksgiving weekend, it may be helpful to reflect for a few moments on what has been described as "the sheer power of being thankful."

When I recently typed the word "gratitude" into a search engine, I was amazed at the number of links that presented themselves. Among these was an emerging body of research showing that genuine, consistent expressions of gratitude can make a big difference not only to the recipient of the thanks but also to the one expressing the gratitude, by greatly enhancing their life.

G.K. Chesterton was a brilliant and famous early twentieth century English writer, dramatist, lay theologian and biographer. The author of countless articles and books, he is perhaps best known for his fictional priest-detective Father Brown series, later adapted for television.

thought and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder."

I will leave you with a few more of his thoughts to ponder as you enter into Thanksgiving weekend.

• "When it comes to life, the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude."

submerged sunrise of wonder, so that a man might suddenly understand that he is alive and be happy."

• "You say grace before meals.

All right. But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing and grace before I dip the pen in the ink."

TERRY FOX RUNS UCDSB RECOGNIZES RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL ACROSS PERTH EXPERIENCE WITH ORANGE SHIRT DAY AREA SEE The Upper Canada District School Board was a sea of orange Oct. 1 as students and staff STUDENTS GO from across our vast district wear orange shirts to recognize Orange Shirt Day. Orange Shirt Day is officially on Sept. 30 THE DISTANCE and is a legacy of the St. Joseph Mission Residential School (1891-1981). It grew out of an acFOR CANCER count from residential school survivor Phyllis Webstad, who told her story of how her new RESEARCH orange shirt was taken from her on the first DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com Terry would have been proud.

The Queen Elizabeth Public School held its annual Terry Fox Run on the afternoon of Friday, Sept.

28, and the students and staff collected more than $550.10, with some loonies and toonies still coming in.

Other schools across town held Terry Fox runs, like St. John Catholic Elementary School, which held its run on Monday, Sept. 24, collecting money to end cancer.

day of school at the Mission. Since 2013, Webstad's story has become an opportunity to further the discussion on all aspects of the residential school experience and provides a focus for public recognition in Canada about a dark and difficult period in our national history.

"Orange Shirt Day is an opportunity for our teachers, students and staff to openly recognize the injustices that happened in residential schools and how the actions impacted so many young people. Today, classrooms will be talking about the significance of Orange Shirt Day and engaging in learning activities.

We want our students to understand that we all belong, we all matter and to carry that message with them each day, throughout their lives, not just on this day," said Superintendent of Schools and Indigenous Education, Jodie Barrett.

The date for Orange Shirt Day was chosen because of its historical significance. This was

MUNICIPAL ELECTION CORRECTIONS

ELECTION CANDIDATES There were several errors last week in our special election section.

- Brock McPherson was listed as running for deputy mayor in the town of Perth. He is actually running for councillor.

- Mark Burnham was listed as a councillor candidate for Lanark Highlands; however, he is actually a councillor candidate for Tay Valley.

Below are the profiles for six candidates who were not initially contacted by this newspaper in error.

The Perth Courier apologizes to the affected candidates and to our readers for the confusion.

SUSAN BERLIN - COUNCILLOR CANDIDATE, LANARK HIGHLANDS Susan Berlin is seeking the position of Councillor, Ward 1 in the Township of Lanark Highlands.

The retired community planner has plenty of volunteer experience, includ-

ing serving as a board member, Middlleville and District Museum; member, MERA; past board member, Middleville Agricultural Society.

"The underlying issue is that we've had a dysfunctional council for the past three terms, which has meant that major issues have been around all that time and remain unresolved: economic development; inability to retain senior staff; failure to communicate effectively with community members; failure to set goals and find tools that would allow those goals to be reached.

"As a planner, I've worked with communities to help them work through the process of defining goals, seeking appropriate tools to reach those goals, and forming themselves into effective organizations.

I'd like to do the same on council -- and make sure community members are a welcome source of information as well.

These are virtually cost-free changes (modernizing the now-useless Township website and giving it two-way communication capability; re-establishing community/ council advisory committees; holding frequent ward consultations; and using the public media to actively request suggestions on contentious issues before decisions are made.

That will make a huge difference. Once council 'works,' it will be able to deal with the specific problems that have long been on the table.

BILL KING - COUNCILLOR CANDIDATE, LANARK HIGHLANDS Lanark Village resident Bill King, 60, is a candidate for Councillor, Ward 4, Lanark Highlands Township.

My top priority is working to restore civility and respect in the municipal workplace. This includes our fire services as well as the council chambers.

We can do this by having

SEE OUR FLYER New

ISABEL ANNE MCRAE - COUNCILLOR CANDIDATE, LANARK HIGHLANDS My name is Isabel Anne McRae , but I go by Anne.

I am 63 years young and I live at 240 Herron Mills Road, Lanark Highlands.

I am running for councillor for Ward 3 - Lanark

Highlands and was a former Trustee with the Upper Canada District School Board (2010-2014).

Three items which are top priority include: The asset management plan:To my best knowledge, the AMP has already been funded through a Federal Grant for $50,000.

An asset management plan is a tactical plan for managing an organization's infrastructure and other assets and to deliver on an agreed standard of service.

I place this as one of the top items on council's to-do list, because of the present state of the township's crumbling infrastructure.

The master plan for fire service: The present fire chief has completed the ENR, the bylaw which is the first step in a three step process towards completing a master plan.

Next a risk assessment must be completed.

I understand this is almost completed and will need to be passed by council before the master plan can be started.

A strategic plan (four

year plan for council) This plan protects and strengthens our position in the marIsabel Anne ketplace, McRae aligning both councillors and the management team behind one unified vision.

This will lay the foundation to progress with a strategic roadmap and an effective action plan with realistic goals and timelines.

A strategic plan ensures and measures the accountability and transparency of all municipal representatives.

I don't have a favourite demographic, but I am cognizant of our most vulnerable sectors including special needs, low income, the working poor, seniors and those with exceptionalities on fixed incomes.

BOB MINGIE - DEPUTY MAYOR CANDIDATE, LANARK HIGHLANDS Township of Lanark Highlands resident Bob Mingie says his top priorities are returning civility to the council chamber and getting a strong CAO hired -- this does not take extra funding.

Also important are: Establishing a community engageBob Mingie ment process to assist in setting the Township's agenda and priorities, and beginning a Lanark Highlands strategic planning process with active community involvement. Each of these will require some funding but I expect they can be handled

with the current funding levels.

This is all really the background and underlying process stuff. Then we will start on the fire services, roads and other important issues. These will take more money but I want the community heavily engaged in how fast we address these and therefore how much new money we need.

Different demographics are important for different reasons - youth are our future, workers carry the community and retirees need good services at reasonable and stable prices (property taxes).

PETER RODGER - COUNCILLOR CANDIDATE, LANARK HIGHLANDS My name is Peter Rodger and I am 42 years old. I have lived in Lanark Highlands, just outside the village of Middleville, my entire life.

I am seeking re-election for Councillor of Ward 3 in Lanark Highlands. I take pride in contributing to our community by volunteer-

ing and helping in various ways.

For over 16 years, I have been a volunteer firefighter Peter Rodger at Middleville Station 2 and I continue to provide fire services to our community.

My top priority for this upcoming term is to seek out a strong, qualified fulltime CAO to fill the vacant position. With a strong CAO comes strong leadership.

There are challenges with finding the right person with the right qualifications so we need to overcome this.

There is funding for this position already so it's just a matter of starting the hiring process.

With new leadership from a full time CAO and a new term of council, is an opportunity to address things that didn't work well in the past.All demographics are important to me. We See - page 24

His interpretation of legislation is second to none, having given legal opinions to federal court judges, former cabinet ministers and elected members of three levels of government.

Mick's most pressing issue in Tay Valley?

The need to do things properly. His top priority will be to re-open the procedural bylaw debate, fix Blueberry Creek, make sure the Monastery expansion is handled properly and bring some legal knowledge to council chambers so members and staff aren't getting conflicting legal opinions every second day.

"Besides, I would charge the township, like zero money, and some say my legal advice is better than the thousands spent on legal fees recently. Tay Valley could better spend the

money on roads or making waste management sites user friendly. Like, the Perth site."

Mick is also a proponent of health care and though he recognizes it is a provincial responsibility, he realizes Tay Valley has an obligation to assist the Perth hospital in upgrades.

"Tay Valley residents use the Perth hospital when needed so we have to pull our weight. I would rather help the hospital purchase a MRI machine than spend a couple hundred grand on lawyer fees."

How would he help change council culture so things don't get bungled in the future?

"Get things right," he replied, "not necessarily popular, but you have to get things right. Not half right, not somewhat right.

But, full right."

OPINION

FATHER WENT ALONG WITH THIS WARMING FALL FAMILY TRADITION STORY OF JOAN OF ARC ETCHED IN HER MEMORY, MARY COOK RECALLS Mother was never at a loss when it came time to get the family together for a bit of fun. So we celebrated every holiday, even if we didn't have the remotest connection to it. That included Lincoln's birthday, St. John The Baptiste Day, the Twelfth of July.

At this time of year, Mother was able to work around the sad story of Joan of Arc through the simple act of the burning of the fall leaves. Of course, it was called "The Burning of the Leaves Day," but I knew there would be a heavy emphasis on the Joan of Arc story, which caused me no end of grief.

I hated the story I knew was coming with the burning of the leaves, but once we

got that out of the way, we got down to the serious business of watching the mountain of leaves go up in smoke.

It took us a period of several days, and sometimes most of a week for what we called "The Burning at the Stake Night." I called it The Burning of the Stake Night, which I thought was more humane, as I pictured the young French saint being tied to a stake and going up in flames.

But we had to listen to the story before we actually lit the pile of leaves, which Emerson said took all the fun out of the evening.

To get ready, we raked mountains of leaves into a huge mound in the centre of

the front yard. This always took place on a Saturday, and we had to have the pile well away from the barns and the old log house, or the whole place could go up in flames.

Father also insisted we burn a small pile at a time, so that the flames wouldn't get out of hand.

Once we got the Joan of Arc story out of the way, we would settle down to enjoy the spectacle before us. We each would have a long slim piece of green wood for what I considered the most fun of the entire evening. Mother would have placed a tin plate of sliced pieces of back bacon, on the seat of a kitchen chair, and these we threaded onto the stick, and with the bacon fat sizzling into the fire, we'd watch the pieces cook into a golden brown ... crisp and delicious morsels to pop into our mouths when they were cool enough to eat.

Over the evening we would go through a plate full of bacon pieces. It would take at

least two hours to work through the mound of leaves, and then Mother would take her harmonica out of her apron pocket, and we'd all sing the songs we knew so well.

Long after the last ember had died down, we would stay on the logs we had used as benches and watch Father take a pail and fill it from the watering trough and douse what was left of the burning leaves.

For days our clothes would smell of burning leaves. We wouldn't be wearing our school clothes, so we didn't carry the odour off the farm. But I loved the smell of the bonfire, and I could never pass the back door where our clothes hung on a nail, without pressing my nose into the folds of whatever I had worn the night we had burned the leaves.

Father didn't think much of the effort we went to. In his day, he would tell us, the leaves were left where they had fallen. The snow would cover them over the winter, and grass would grow right on top of them.

But he went along with yet another idea of Mother's that she brought to the farm at Northcote. My sister Audrey said to him, it was the line of least resistance.

Please join the warden and councillors of Lanark County for a ceremony to mark the official opening of the Ottawa Valley Recreation Trail (OVRT) on Friday, Oct. 5 at 1 p.m.

The celebration will be held at the under the overpass at Highway 7 in Carleton Place, on the trail.

The celebration marks the opening of the 61-kilometre Lanark County portion of the multi-use trail, which was once part of the prosperous railway line and connects the County of Lanark to the County of Renfrew and the Township of Papineau-Cameron.

Warden John Fenik (Perth mayor) noted that he is "looking forward to welcoming the many user-groups at the ribbon cutting ceremony that can now enjoy this well maintained and managed trail."

The ribbon cutting ceremony is a great opportunity to explore the OVRT and celebrate all of the trails within Lanark County.

Participants are encouraged to park at the parking lot on Coleman Street, across from the OPP station, between Grant Street and Lansdowne Avenue. From there, walk, bike or ride to meet us under the overpass, approximately 1 km from Carleton Junction.

Shuttles will be made available as well.

DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@ metroland.com The Rosemary Breman School of Dance is now open in Perth.

The school, which is still located in Carleton Place, which it has called home for more than three decades, recently announced that it would be opening up

a Perth satellite school.

The school is open on Mondays at 5 p.m. at the McMartin House, and on Thursdays, also at 5 p.m., at St. Paul United Church.

"I have quite a few kids from Perth," said Breman, during a telephone interview on the morning of Tuesday, Sept. 25. She would often hear from her Perth parents, "Why don't

you open up in Perth?" Every year she admitted that she had "thought about it," but 2018 turned out to be the year that she finally said, "Why not?"

The school has about 20 dancers registered in Perth so far, but registration is still open.

The school specializes in Scottish Highland dancing, ballet, jazz and tap.

Breman said she likes both of her Perth facilities, but commended the recent renovation work done at the church.

"They've done a good job," she said.

Though born in Canada, her Scottish parents returned to Britain when she was eight.

She lived in the town of Ayr, on the west coast of

Scotland, about an hour southwest of Glasgow, until she turned 18 and then came back to Canada, and so she did most of her dance teacher training in Scotland.

She earned teaching qualifications from the British Association of Teachers of Dancing, headquartered in Glasgow, Scotland's largest city, 38

years ago, she is also qualified as a judge of Scottish Highland dancing. She has taught in Carleton Place for the past 37 years.

"Hopefully, the (Perth) studio will grow," said Breman. "It'll be word of mouth."

OPINION

KNOWING THE DOS AND DON'TS OF FLYING IS VITAL THERE ARE MANY HELPFUL TIPS FOR TRAVEL, JEFF MAGUIRE WRITES JEFF MAGUIRE Column

I don't know who coined the oft-uttered phrase "practice makes perfect?" I'm sure it applies in certain cases, but definitely not in some situations. Obviously there are things in life you can't practice for!

On the other hand you can almost always prepare for a given set of circumstances. If you know how to prepare that is!

One good example is flying. There are a number of dos and don'ts to consider when you are planning to take to the air, especially if you are embarking on a long journey.

My wife Kathleen retired recently and we are currently preparing for a European vacation with good friends and longtime travel companions.

Because we're experienced travellers we have developed a routine which, when it comes to long distance travel, is vital. Start with lists of what you know you have to take with you. Passports, credit cards, foreign currency and any prescription medications should be kept on your person or in a readily accessible container, preferably your

handbag or carry-on case.

Don't put prescription meds in checked baggage which travels in the aircraft cargo hold. If your bag(s) don't show up at the other end and they contain vital materials you will have a very bad start to your trip!

Flying is the most important part of any long haul journey which makes it especially important that you plan what and how much to take with you and where to pack important items such as a change of clothes.

Speaking from personal experience I can tell you that there is nothing worse than arriving overseas only to discover that your checked bags haven't followed you. I don't want

COMMUNITY RESOURCES *Diabetes and PreDiabetes Education Sessions led by Rideau Valley Diabetes Services Registered Nurses and Registered Dietitians 613-284-2558.

to alarm anyone. Lost luggage is a relatively rare occurrence. But it does happen which makes being prepared particularly important.

To prevent such an occurrence, here's my advice. Kathy and I take carry-on bags large enough to hold a change of clothing (or two), along with extra socks and under garments. Make sure your carry-on also contains vital travel documents.

Don't over pack! Mixing and matching items of clothing means you can diminish the load you originally intended to carry. Hauling heavy suitcases through airports, train stations, up and down staircases and elevators and along busy sidewalks

is murder.

When flying we prefer to pre-book our seats so we don't get caught in the airline seat shuffle. Talk to you travel agent about the best available options.

There's nothing wrong with being health conscious when you're flying either. Nobody wants to catch a cold, flu bug or another virus while jetting to their destination.

Oddly the aircraft washroom isn't as dirty as the areas in and around your seat. Germaphobes will tell you that the tray table at your seat harbours more germs than any other part of the aircraft. Carry wipes (containing at least 62 per cent alcohol) and use them to sanitize any surface your hands are likely to con-

tact.

To be totally honest the worst part of flying for me is airports. Some are better than others but in the post 9/11 world security checks and more security checks means the worst part of flying is actually getting to the aircraft. It's all very necessary of course. But in my experience actually boarding the plane and flying to your destination is usually the least problematic part of travel today.

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!

Review your schedule frequently.

You never know which learning experiences will come your way. Think about how they make you feel.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Life is going well for you in most respects, Libra. But there is always room for a little improvement. Now is a great time to take advantage of good fortune and push ahead.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Things may seem tight and rigid this week, Cancer. That just means it is up to you to lighten things up. Consider a few jokes to put coworkers in a good mood.
