PDCI’s iPad Posse students teach the teachers the new tech talk Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Forget chalk and talk in the classroom. Now it’s point and click – and then some. Only eight months after a visit to an Ottawa school where iPads were being used, and three months after a class set of iPads were introduced to Perth and District Collegiate Institute (PDCI), as part of a pilot program, members of the school’s iCoach team welcomed educators from around the region to an iPad conference to teach the teachers the insand-outs, downloads and uploads of the

new classroom technology. “It (the program) has gone far beyond what we could have hoped far, far beyond what we had planned,” said principal John Gow. “We (educators) have been learning a lot with these students.” Gow, speaking in the school’s learning commons on Jan. 7, said that there would always be a “digital divide,” and that some people would be resistant to change. But like it or not, “it is a medium for all kinds of learning.” One teacher who knows that perhaps a bit better than most is PDCI teacher Elijah Funston, who got educators using their iPads almost instantly, having them scan a QR code to unlock four

photos, and then “infer” what they read into them. As a history teacher, he said he uses photos and inference all the time to teach. In real time, the teachers were able to post comments to the board at the front of the room, sharing their points of view. “It’s actually quite simple, if you wanted to teach yourself to do it,” said Funston, even as high school teachers, in their blue iCoach t-shirts, hopped from table to table, troubleshooting, and answering questions. Some photos showed teachers sitting amongst the students, learning the new See iPAD page P2

Tay Valley man arrested on new sex assault charges Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

News - Ontario Provincial Police have laid further charges against William (Bill) McNicol of Tay Valley Township regarding historical sexual assault. Det.-Const. Angie Atkinson says she has spoken with the victims in this case regarding the release of the man’s name. “Typically, in a sexual assault case we don’t release the name of the person charged to protect the identity of the victims,” she told The Perth Courier on Monday, Jan. 12. “But the victims have said that they are OK with his name be-

ing released so that if anyone else has more information they can come forward.” In November, 2014 the Lanark County OPP charged 64-year-old, McNicol with several sex offence in regards to a historic sexual assault investigation dating back to 1993. Upon further investigation, on Dec. 23, the accused was arrested and charged, in relation to a second victim, dating back to the late 1980s. McNicol is charged with one count each of sexual assault, sexual exploitation and sexual interference with a per-

son under the age of 16 years, contrary to the Criminal Code of Canada and is to appear in court on Monday, Jan. 26 in Perth. These charges have not yet been proven in court. Atkinson of the Lanark County OPP Crime Unit is continuing with this investigation. If any person has more information about this matter they can contact the Lanark County detachment at 613-2672626, toll free anytime at 1-888-3101122 or the Citizen Self-reporting System accessed at www.opp.ca

Community volunteer income tax program in need of volunteers Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Community Volunteer Income Tax Program is gearing up for another successful year. Lanark Community Programs, in partnership with Canada Revenue Agency, is still in need of volunteers

to do Income Tax filing for those who need the service in Lanark County. Volunteers who are not interested in tax filing, are also needed to assist with paper work. Many volunteers are returning and

new volunteers have signed up and are ready to go. Last year, more than 1,000 files were completed. Lanark Community Programs is expecting an increase this year.

All volunteers will receive extensive training provided by Canada Revenue Agency and will receive ongoing support from our lead volunteer and the project lead. All software is provided. If you are dealing with economic limitations and would like assistance in filing your income tax return, you can drop-in during scheduled tax clinic hours for private assistance at no cost to you. If you prefer, you can drop off your tax paperwork at specified loca-

tions and pick it up once the return is ready. The sites will be available in Carleton Place, Perth, Lanark, Almonte and Smiths Falls. Details on locations, dates, and times will be available in February. If you think you would be interested in volunteering for this program, please contact Maureen at Lanark Community Programs: 613 257-2779 ext. 104. Submitted by Lanark Community Programs.

Lanark County Bowl for Kids marks 35 years of making BIG things happen Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

Tim Hortons of Carleton Place presents a donation to Big Brothers Big Sisters Lanark County during its Bowl for Kids Sake fundraiser last year. The 35th edition of the event is set for Feb. 21. to see Ray Gibeault retire from his fundraising efforts. For about 30 years Gibeault has gone doorto-door and raised thousands of dollars for the mentoring organization. “I would encourage people who would typically wait for Ray to come to the door to go ahead and send their donation in,” Miller said. You can mail it in at 18 William Street E, Smiths Falls, ON, K7A 1C2 or drop it off Monday to Thursday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. She thanks the communities who continue to be so generous in

their giving. It was eight years ago this year Miller started her role at Big Brothers Big Sisters. It was the year of closures in Smiths Falls and fundraisers were uncertain if they would reach their goal. “I was so in awe of the generosity,” Miller said describing individuals who had lost their job donating what they could. “It was all those loonies, toonies and fives that added up and keeps us going.” The funds raised from the Bowl For Kids event are crucial for the non-profit organization, as they don’t receive any funding from

online to www.bigbrothersbigsisterslanark.ca for more information. The coming year will be an exciting one for Big Brothers Big Sisters. The organization will embark on renewing their Strategic Plan, as well as expand their successful after school programming. “It’s going to be a really neat year for us,” Miller said. Be sure to take part in this year’s Bowl For Kids Sake Feb. 21 in your community and be part of this exciting year.

News – Since 1980, the Tim Hortons Bowl For Kids Sake fundraiser has been a critical piece of funding in the effort to link local children in need with mentors and this year’s anniversary edition is no different. “There’s not many fundraisers that can celebrate so many years,” said Jennifer Miller, executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters Lanark County. The 35th edition of Tim Hortons Bowl For Kids Sake promises to be a great day of fun and celebration in Perth, Carleton Place and Smiths Falls. As of this Monday (Jan. 12) bowling teams are encouraged to call the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County office (613283-0570) and reserve their preferred time slot for the fundraiser on Feb. 21. Prizes will be awarded to bowlers who raise certain totals for the cause. Those who bring in $100 will get popcorn and a popcorn holder, $250 will get the first prize and movie tickets and those who raise $500 or more will get both prize packages and Senators tickets. All Perth participants who Wii bowl this year will be getting a special gift. Organizers have introduced a mixture of local bands and one evening headliner to the day.

‘I think it really adds to the entertainment value,” Miller said. The hope is the music of Last Supper and Poppa Grace in the afternoon will draw more bowlers to the lanes for a game and a good cause. That evening headlining act, Yo Mama, will take the mic at 8 p.m. for an evening of fun and a little Wii action. Those who have bowled will get in to the evening show free, but those who haven’t will be asked to pay $25 at the door. “Hopefully we can fill the place,” Miller said. Yo Mama is known for its rock beat that is very reminiscent of Feist, the Cranberries and Sade with the addition of a saxophone to ground the entire sound. Bowl For Kids is the organization’s premier fundraiser, accounting for 20 per cent of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County’s total annual budget. “Every dollar pledged would go straight to programming,” thanks to the sponsors who cover the cost of the fundraiser, explains Miller. “It makes bowling really critical.” This year’s goal remains the same as previous years – $75,000 despite having over shot this number two years in a row by raising $80,000. “We’re setting the goal at $75,000 because I can’t quite get my head around it,” Miller said. The Smiths Falls event is sad

Build a Mountaineers appreciated for overwhelming teamwork Little Rock Farm. This year, the road wrangler saddled up his Town and Country Chrysler Jeep and ran the roads with a vengeance collecting a whopping 125,280 pounds of food and $51,268.55 in cash donations. The event smashed last year’s totals by more than $10,000 and 22,000 pounds of food. “I’m overwhelmed,” he told the Perth Courier recently. “It doesn’t get any better than this.” Colton was quick to praise all his helpers along those country roads – some of those back roads were windy dirt roads, but he loved every kilometre of it. Starting in November, Colton hit grocery stores in Almonte, Carleton Place, Perth, Lanark, Smiths Falls, Westport, Elgin, Portland, Merrickville, Athens and Delta, collecting food and cash donations for foodbanks in these areas. The video presentation highlighted these pit stops. Each year, it gets better and better. Colton is an inspiration to those who know him, yet he insists it’s not about him, but all of those who help out with this monumental food drive. “You guys are amazing,” he said to wrap up his two-hour party, complete with a Chinese buffet. “You are the team that moves this mountain and we couldn’t do it without each other. So thank you. See you all next year.”

Community – How can you top the totals like the Build a Mountain of Food campaign achieved this year. “We’ll just keep going, foot on the gas,” says organizer Hugh Colton, but right now it’s time for a bit of a breather. Sunday, Jan. 11 was time for Colton to recognize those who helped make it happen over the weeks and months that capped a super successful fundraising and food collecting campaign. “Totals were unbelievable this year,” he said. “We can’t do what we do without you… so thank YOU.” One by one, the man with the microphone thanked each individual and organization, grocery store or big business for their parts in the success of the campaign. Colton said, “2014 was quite a year for this campaign, and each year we look at it and say, where can we go from here? “Let’s get in the vans that Brad (Kyle, owner, Town and Country Chrysler) gives us, let’s get on the radio that Brian (Perkin, owner, Lake 88.1, Perth) gives us, get in the papers that Laurie (Weir, news editor) and the gang at Metroland give us and lets talk on COGECO and see what we can do over a six-plus week period of time to keep this mountain moving,”

Right, the annual Sport-X New Year’s Eve Resolution Run Dec. 31 was the final event for this year’s Build a Mountain of Food campaign. Owner Corey Turnbull is pictured in his Superman cape. The event collected 150 pounds of food, along with $377 in cash donations. Colton continued. “You people kept the mountain moving this year in a big, big way.” Colton was also appreciative of the work that his webmaster, Jim Wright, provided over the campaign period. “Jim is the guy who updates Facebook with fresh totals; he’s responsible for the video presentation, and he comes every week and takes pictures –

along with (the newspaper), but we’ll talk about (their role) after the presentation.” Colton doesn’t do anything without giving it his all – 110 per cent is more like it. He was emotional in his praise, tearing up when thanking his boss and his friend, Kyle; his ‘adopted father’ Joe Gallipeau and his special friends at

Crime Stoppers provides citizens with a way to anonymously supply the police with information about a crime or potential crime of which they have knowledge. Cash rewards are offered to people who call the program with information that leads to an arrest. Crime Stoppers began in July 1976 in Albuquerque New Mexico.

The Crime Stoppers tip line is staffed by trained personnel who receive, process and pass on tip information to investigating officers. Callers are given a code number, which is used in all subsequent calls and callers do not have to identify themselves. A reward of up to $1,000 is offered to anyone providing information, which leads to an arrest for a crime. Rewards may also be made for information leading to the recovery of stolen property, the seizure of illegal drugs or an arrest on an outstanding warrant. The media is a very important com-

ponent of Crime Stoppers. An unsolved crime may be re-enacted and shown on television or may be publicized in a newspaper or aired on the radio. The media also brings the program to the attention of the public.

Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Canadian Hearing Society (CHS) is helping people stay connected. The charitable agency offers services and products to individuals with varying degrees of hearing loss. The Brockville CHS office located at 68 William St. (Suite 205) in Brockville covers all of Leeds, Grenville and Lanark counties. Residents of South Dundas are directed to the CHS office in Ottawa. Program assistant Sue Baker is usually the first person with whom visitors and callers interact. She provides information on programs that CHS provides as well as on communication devices that are available. In many cases, clients are referred to hearing care counsellor Angela Pagniello Mantle for follow-up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always trying to encourage people to stay independent in their homes,â&#x20AC;? Baker said. Individual counselling sessions can take place in the CHS office or in the clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home; these services are offered free of charge. The society does not offer hearing tests but can provide a list of audiologists and service providers. Pagniello Mantle indicated that she could go to a testing appointment with a client and discuss the results. The societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mandate is to provide unbiased information to enable individuals and their families to make informed choices. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how a hearing aid is going to help them,â&#x20AC;? said Baker, who added the society will help them adjust to the device. The Hearing Care Counselling Program assists older adults by educating clients and providing them with options to help manage difficult listening situations. Home visits (free of charge) can be conducted, and communication device demonstrations and recommendations are provided. Devices include visual smoke alarms and amplified phones; the society wants to ensure they are the right item for the client and will improve quality of life in the home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll say it helps them feel safe,â&#x20AC;? Pagniello Mantle stated. CHS holds hearing care clinics at the Brockville office four times a year; the next session will take place on Jan. 27. There are also clinics at locations in Lanark County. Hearing tests are not conducted at the clinics; visitors can ask questions about cleaning their hearing aids or changing the batteries as well as other aspects of dealing with hearing loss. General counseling services are also offered by CHS to individuals between the ages of 16 and 54. Counsellors attend the Brockville office on a regular basis (usually once every two weeks). Statistics indicate it takes most peo-

Refusing to live in fear

ditorial – The recent attacks on satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo in Paris, as well as the hostage situations in its aftermath have certainly hit close to home. From the Paris tragedy, to the acts of terrorism back in October at Parliament Hill and Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, and instances all over the globe, these incidents have been designed to make people live in fear. With the bloodshed and devastation, it’s easy to resort to that. However, a positive thing has come out of all of this: people aren’t. They’re continuing to live their lives just as they had before and it’s exactly what we should be doing. Yes, security measures have been stepped up and people are more cautious, but they refuse to let terrorism win. Freedom of speech is a wonderful thing and shouldn’t be silenced. For us in the newspaper business, we watched closely as the Paris attacks unfolded and it was difficult to

stomach. The innocent lives lost just for being truthful and pushing the limits. It’s something each of our reporters do everyday, but in a different way in the community newspaper world. Digging deeper to uncover some shady dealings by municipal council, or maybe finding out why residents’ water bills are so high. This desire to seek the truth lives in all journalists, but to varying degrees. You can see that in our newsroom as well. There are some of us who want to push as hard as we can with an issue, but there are others who believe a different approach would yield a better result. We are all unique and all have our own opinions and beliefs, which is what makes us who we are. This situation has made us all more aware of the risks that there are in a job such as this one. And seeing the solidarity shown in media around the world with the “Je suis Charlie” movement makes us all more hungry to continue our efforts.

of odds and ends. Halfway down into the box, Everett pulled out two odd looking objects that very much resembled long spats. I was very familiar with this fashionable bit of men’s clothing, because Grandfather wore grey felt ones over his shoes, which I thought was just about the classiest bit of men’s wear I had ever seen. Certainly, not one of the farmers in the Northcote area wore spats. But what Everett hauled out of the wood box wasn’t made of felt. And they were much too long to be spats. They were made of soft rich brown leather. Everett turned them over in his hand a couple times and suggested they looked like they might be put on a horse in the cold weather.

Letter to the Editor

Reader suggest Tories get on the same page DEAR EDITOR:

I recently read that a federal Conservative MP said that the Conservatives were expanding human freedom by cutting taxes. I guess he meant that we would all be happier and more free by having more money in our pockets as a result of lower taxes. I was, therefore, surprised to read in an article submitted by conservative MPP Steve Clark and published in the Jan. 1 issue of this newspaper

that Mr. Clark wants “to protect frontline services”. This idea is taken from the playbook of the tax and spend NDP. Can the Conservatives get their act together and decide if they want to expand human freedom through lower taxes or protect frontline services through higher taxes?

she went on to tell us how only the very wealthy in New York wore leather leggings. Emerson, ever willing to be classed as just a cut above average, suggested they would be just fine to wear to the Northcote School. Mother looked at the brother who at 12 years of age stood just under six feet tall and whose muscular legs were as round as a stovepipe. She assured him they would never go around. “See, they are supposed to button up the sides. You use a button hook to close them.” She had left her chair and gone over to Emerson to hold the leggings up to his outer calf. “They’ll miss closing by a good four inches. Too bad. Such beautiful leather.” And she set them aside, no doubt already wondering how she could make them over, or who of the less fortunate cousins would fit into them. For the time being, they would be packed away. The next morning, which was unusual for him, Emerson was already downstairs in the kitchen when the rest of us came down for breakfast. Father had already gone to the barns. And there Emerson sat in Father’s chair by the stove, with his feet up on the oven door, and the leather leggings covering his shins from knee almost to his ankle. His breaks fitted tightly at the top, and his short gum rubbers somehow looked aw-

Charges rise over last year’s OPP Festive RIDE campaign News – The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Festive RIDE (Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) campaign began Nov. 24 and ran until Jan. 2. During this five-week period, East Region OPP officers conducted 2,308 Festive RIDE initiatives. During the campaign, OPP officers in East Region charged 87 people with Impaired, Over 80 or Refusal to Provide a sample compared to 116 during the campaign in 2013/14. Unfortunately, OPP officers in East Region issued 105 – three, seven or 30-day driver’s licence suspensions compared to 96 in in the 2013/14 campaign. “Irresponsible motorists continue

to drive while impaired by drugs and/or alcohol and the carnage and harm they can cause is impossible to calculate. The OPP will continue to conduct RIDE programs throughout the region on any day, at any time throughout the year,” stated Chief Superintendent Daniel Redmond, Regional Commander, East Region. The OPP is calling on everyone to stop impaired driving and to discourage others from doing so. If someone you encounter insists on driving impaired, call 911 in order for the police service of jurisdiction to respond and take the driver off the road before someone is harmed.

fully out of place on his leather covered legs. Mother of course, hurried over to the stove to see how he had made them fit. Audrey and I were right behind her. Well, that Emerson was a clever one, all right. He had taken the laces out of Father’s work boots and with a wide gap between the eyes and the hooks of the leggings, he had laced them up. Bare leg showed where the leather should have met, but it didn’t look like that mattered a whit to Emerson. He got them on and that’s all that was important. Now, one would think Emerson would feel self conscious about going off to the Northcote school in something as foreign as leather leggings that no one would ever have seen before in their lives. But not my brother Emerson. And so off he went to the Northcote School, in the dead of winter with the leather leggings. He was sure everyone would be very impressed. Eighteen pairs of eyes scanned him up and down and he almost looked like he was giving a history lesson. Emerson said what the leggings were for and how the very well off people in New York wore them all the time. He made no apology for the fact they didn’t meet even half way around his leg. I expected trouble from Cecil. But one look at Emerson’s almost 6” height, and there wasn’t as much as a snicker. Well, everything came to a head at recess when Miss Crosby ordered us all out of the

school. It was a bitterly cold day and by recess, the wind had worked up to a frenzy and there stood Emerson bundled up like someone from the North Pole, but his legs as bare as a badger where the leggings didn’t meet. It wasn’t long before he was shaking from head to toe and my sister Audrey said she was pretty sure he would have pneumonia by the time recess was over. Fortunately, Miss Crosby let him back into the school before she rang the bell. As luck would have it, Father had to go to Briscoe’s General Store that afternoon and he came around by the school and we all climbed onto the sleigh for the ride home. Emerson was saved from walking home in the snow with almostbare legs. When we got home and Emerson took off the leggings, the marks up his legs from the tight laces looked like railroad ties. Nothing was wasted in those Depression days and Mother wrapped them in tissue paper, put them in the upstairs trunk and announced she was sure she could find a use for them someday. Emerson was going to have to think of some other way to impress the kids at the Northcote School. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Community – Remarkable generosity, big crowds and tremendous community spirit were hallmarks of the 2014 Canadian Pacific (CP) Holiday Train program, which saw more than $1.1 million raised and 300,000 lbs of food donated to North American food banks and food shelves, including those locally in Smiths Falls and Merrickville. “The crowds in 2014 were simply amazing – a true reflection of all the hard work put in by community volunteers,” said E. Hunter Harrison, chief executive officer of CP. “CP is proud to support local food banks across Canada and the US and looks forward to the 2015 edition of the Holiday Train.” Since its start in 1999, the CP Holiday Train has helped to raise more than $10.6 million and 3.6 million pounds of food for local food banks and food shelves. This year, the CP Holiday Train program provided a platform for dialogue around access to healthy, nutritious food. Food organizations from east to west shared their stories of volunteerism and donations of fresh, locally-farmed foods getting to the most vulnerable people in our communities. Patrons attending Holiday Train events were asked to bring healthy food options while food shelves were asked to commit 10 per cent or more of CP’s monetary donation to healthy food initiatives or purchases. Crowds at Holiday Train events were entertained by a number of

This week’s hit movie at the Station Theatre offers unique film experience Arts – Film goers in Smiths Falls are in for a real treat. Boyhood, the big winner at last weekend’s Golden Globe Awards, is being screened at the Station Theatre (the old Via train station) this Friday, Jan. 16 and Saturday, Jan. 17 at 7:30 p.m. Boyhood is a slice of life, comingof-age drama written and directed by Richard Linklater, winner of both Best Director and Best Picture at the Jan. 11 Golden Globe Awards. Filmed over 12 years with the same cast, it’s a groundbreaking story of growing up as seen through the eyes of a child named Mason (Coltrane), who literally matures on screen before our eyes. The “masterpiece” stars Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette (Best Supporting Actress) as Mason’s parents and newcomer Lorelei Linklater as his sister, Samantha. Ethan Hawke has described what it was like working in a film like this over such a long period of time: “Doing a scene with a young boy at the age of seven when he talks about why raccoons die, and at the age of

12 when he talks about video games, and 17 when he asks me about girls, and have it be the same actor – to watch his voice and body morph – it’s a little bit like time-lapse photography of a human being.” The movie is both a nostalgic time capsule of the recent past and an ode to growing up and parenting. It is impossible to watch Mason and his family without thinking about one’s own journey. And surely one of the added benefits of watching a good film with family and neighbours together in a theatre is the quality of the shared experience. Enjoyment of this great film is virtually guaranteed by the excellence of our facility. The Station Theatre boasts a 14-foot screen with a state of the art Panasonic projector system that produces a high definition picture quality with surroundsound audio capable of bringing that big screen movie experience to every viewer. The unique design of the auditorium ensures that all seats are obstruction free and as comfortable as an easy chair at home.

IFC, the film’s distributor, committed to a film budget of $200,000 per year, or $2.4 million over the 12-year shooting period. The project was clearly a risk; but early reaction has proven the gamble has paid off in spades. The critics were unanimous in their praise at its release, garnering 99 per cent thumbs up reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and now what may be the first of many prestigious awards. Now, its up to patrons of the Smiths Falls Theatre to add their voices to the growing praise of this unique film. Come see if for yourself at the Station Theatre for this rare one- weekendonly screening on Friday, Jan. 16 and Saturday, Jan. 17.Tickets, sold only at the door, are $10 for adults and $5 for students.

son of plays at the Station Theatre. It’s a delightful mix of a couple of comedies written by well-loved playwrights, a mystery, a farce, the Canadian premiere of a children’s musical and a British-style Christmas pantomime. The season opens with Leading Ladies, written by Ken Ludwig, and runs from Feb. 12 to 22. In this hilarious comedy, two Shakespearean actors find themselves so down on their luck they’re performing scenes by the Bard in the boonies. Romantic entanglements abound as the two actors discover that the relatives they plan to con out of an inheritance turn out to be nieces, not nephews. The theatre is offering patrons an opportunity to attend all of the six plays for just $99.

Be prepared and take charge of your own safety this snowmobile season News – The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) are reminding riders that a snowmobile can quickly take you away from areas where services, communities and emergency assistance are easily accessible or available. In addition to getting properly trained and knowing the law, there are other factors to consider when getting ready for safe snowmobiling: • Service your sled – Avoid breakdowns that can leave you stranded by having your sled professionally serviced before your first ride. • Carry a repair kit – Ensure that you have either the sled manufacturer’s tool kit or one of your own on board, including owner’s manual, spare belt and spark plugs. • Inspect your gear and equipment – Make sure that everything still fits and works properly, and that nothing is missing before you head out. • Prepare for First Aid – Pre-assembled first aid kits can be found at outdoor stores and online and so can information about first aid courses. • Get a survival kit – Any unexpected day or night spent out in the cold will be easier with assistance from a good survival kit, found at outdoors stores and online, including information about winter survival courses. • Go high tech – Devices like GPS, cell phones, satellite phones and personal tracking units can be very useful in avoiding or dealing with emergency situations. • Contact companions – Snowmobiling is more fun with riding buddies, and safer too, so avoid riding alone by getting in touch with friends and family

who can join you on the trails. • Review safety tips – As experienced as you may be, it’s always smart to renew your familiarity with your sled’s safety manual and the Safe Riders messaging on the OFSC website ofsc.on.ca/ safety. Be careful on ice When ice forms early and may look safe, it is likely not yet thick, strong or stable enough to support much weight. This also applies when waterways experience prolonged periods of thaw or rain which can cause ice to weaken suddenly, and towards spring after ice begins to deteriorate from milder temperatures. If you do make the personal choice to take the risk of travelling on ice by snowmobile, wait until a marked stake line is in place and cross only when you can follow it directly from shore to shore, without stopping on the ice. While ice crossing is never a sure thing, snowmobilers can also reduce their risk by: • Checking ice thickness and quality before riding onto any frozen water. • Understanding that ice conditions may vary from day to day, from hour to hour and from place to place. • Never travelling on ice alone, at night or while impaired. • Avoiding slushy ice, untracked ice, or ice near moving water or dock bubblers. • Watching out for obstacles like rocks, stumps, docks, ice roads and fishing huts. • Wearing buoyant snowmobile suit and carrying ice picks.

Outdoor play by children should be encouraged Lifestyle – What did you purchase for your children and grandchildren this Christmas? If you bought skis, skates, snowboards or toboggans, please move to the head of the class! Encouraging children to become more active by engaging in outdoor activities or other physical endeavors is definitely commendable, especially in a time when the physical fitness of so many youngsters is declining and obesity rates among the young are alarmingly high. As regular readers know I’m a confirmed, daily walker. I followed my usual route last week when bitterly cold temperatures and high winds combined to produce a wind chill factor in the -35 Celsius range. I have noticed in recent years that the number of people who walk regularly in our community has declined. I know that because on my daily sojourns I don’t meet some of the people I used to encounter regularly. We have become so dependent on motor vehicles for transportation. That is even truer at this time of year when cold weather, along with icy streets and sidewalks, provide a better excuse to drive to a destination. My doctor tells me my walks are “a daily stress test” and that is definitely a good thing. I intend to follow this path as long as I am able. Now I need to burn off even more calories following too many, big holiday meals! I don’t intend to focus on adult fitness in this column. Instead I will look at the low and worrisome rate of physical activity among young people. One related issue is that most youngsters are being bused to school or driven by their parents. One kilometre (km) isn’t that far but I’m told that if a family lives one km or more from their school, the children are eligible for bus transportation. When I was a kid we walked a kilometre or so to school and back every day of the school year and lived to tell the tale. When I was growing up in the then small village of Stittsville there was no bus transportation to and from the public school. You had to find your own way and for most kids the ankle express was the regular mode of transportation, even on the coldest and

wettest days. The secret: We were dressed for the weather. If kids don a snowsuit, toque and gloves they stay warm. If they wear a raincoat they stay dry. Yet that simple logic seems to be lost on many young people today. Certainly many teenagers at least! The few I do see walking, usually from the bus stop home, are inadequately dressed for the weather on most occasions. Sneakers and a sweatshirt, even on the coldest, dampest days. Youth fitness But it is youth fitness I want to focus on today, not style of dress or too many transportation options. Just after Christmas I watched a television segment about the benefits of “convincing children to play outside.” Why do they have to be convinced? It seems to me kids today are given too many options. Of course it’s easier to sit indoors texting friends, talking on a cellular telephone, playing video games or watching television. If children are left to make all of their own decisions most will take the easy route. It’s inevitable! Therefore parents should be encouraging fitness-related activities including outdoor play year-round. When my generation was growing up and when our children were young most of the options I have referred to weren’t available. In fact to me portable devices and cell phones have become the scourge of society. Sadly portable device “mania” extends to children too. Not long ago I saw a young girl (she said she was 12 but looked younger) interviewed on TV about her texting and calling habits. She told the interviewer she spends several hours – yes, hours not minutes – texting her friends each day and was sometimes awake at 2 a.m. receiving and sending texts. So, when would a kid like that have time to play or exercise? Based on what I am seeing and hearing, or more to the point what I am not seeing, her story is a familiar one. What I am not seeing is children playing outside. Sure, there are some who do but the prevalence of outdoor activity among young people has clearly declined. Statistical data revealed in news stories underline the fact that there’s a major problem relative to children and regular exercise.

Reflections JEFF MAGUIRE

Do you remember the movie Wayne’s World? Canadian Mike Myers and fellow comedian Dana Carvey played road hockey in that film. “Game on!” The movie was released in 1992. That is 23 years ago when road hockey was commonplace. The last game of road hockey I saw being played in our subdivision was at least four or five years ago. It was a road obstruction that brought a smile to my face. Unfortunately the games were short-lived. Today I am never delayed by a game of road hockey. When we were kids we spent every spare hour outside and in all kinds of weather. The “floating game” of road hockey on Elm Street in Stittsville went on all winter and much of the year. A ball was a great substitute for a Styrofoam puck during the warm weather months. It wasn’t just road hockey of course. In winter we skied, tobogganed and skated at every available opportunity. In spring, summer and fall we switched to baseball and football. Some of the most enjoyable afternoons of my life were spent playing catch with a football in our farmyard outside Stittsville. On occasion we would kick the ball into the electrical wires, earning the wrath of my father. Outside of that it was just good clean fun and wonderful exercise. We ran back and forth for hours on end. I was as thin as a rake and my energy level was phenomenal. The same was true of my brother, sisters and most of our friends. Physical activity was a way of life on the farm of course. When we weren’t working we played just as hard. I guess that’s why it is so hard for me to understand why so many among the current generation of youngsters have to be forced to go outside. At least that’s what I heard on the recent TV segment about children’s fitness concerns. And judging by the evident lack of outdoor activity among so many young people in our community there has to be

something to it. The national statistics don’t lie. Many exceptions This situation doesn’t apply to everyone thankfully. Our arena complex is a busy place most of the year. It does my heart good to see kids of all ages and both sexes playing hockey and skating. The same is true in summer when the soccer ﬁelds and baseball diamonds remain busy. There are also a healthy number of young people who are dedicated to physical ﬁtness including school and other amateur sports. They and their parents are to be applauded. But with the possible exception of soccer, enrolment in other youth sports has declined noticeably. Cost is a

factor but lack of interest is also involved. Although our schools provide ﬁtness opportunities participation isn’t mandatory, especially when it comes to team sports. We have an outdoor rink in Carleton Place, not far from our house. If I am outside in the evening I love to hear the sound of pucks bouncing off the boards. But again it is only a limited number that use the facility. The same is true of local parks in summer. Only a few children use the excellent playground equipment available in our public parks. Even fewer can be seen on the basketball courts. It’s evident we have a problem when it comes to outdoor, physical activity. Little wonder youth ﬁtness rates are falling and childhood obesity is skyrocketing. Given current conditions it is also discouraging to see municipalities and local bylaws standing in the way of youth outdoor activity. Recently a family in Cornwall were forced to remove the boards from their kids’ front

yard rink because one person complained that the boards violated a local bylaw. I heard the mayor’s claim about “public safety” and stakes being driven into the ground near underground services. But to me it sounded like poor excuses. During the holiday season we were looking at old family photos. Among them were many pictures of our children playing outside. That is one of the things that prompted me to write this article. I feel children should be encouraged to get involved in physical activity and playing outdoors is a good step in that direction. I’ve heard all the concerns about health risks and personal safety. But if children are well dressed and well supervised it seems there is little to fear. Physical activity is a natural pursuit and it should be encouraged and promoted. The end results for everyone involved can only be positive.

Many different methods to finance home renovations Real Estate – There are many different reasons to renovate a home: to save energy (and save on utility bills), to make room for a growing family, to improve safety or increase the resale value of your home, or simply to bring a fresh new look to your home. There are also a number of different ways

A line of credit offers lower interest rates than credit cards, and charges interest only on funds used each month. And, as you pay off your balance, you can access remaining funds, up to the line of credit’s limit, without reapplying. Secured lines of credit and home equity loans: These options offer all the advantages of regular lines of credit or loans, but are secured by your home’s equity. They can be very economical, since they offer preferred interest rates, however initial set-up costs including legal and appraisal fees usually apply. Lines of credit and home equity loans are usually limited to 80 per cent of your home’s value. Mortgage refinancing: When funding major renovations, refinancing your mortgage lets you spread repayment over a long period at mortgage interest rates, which are usually much lower than credit card or personal loan rates. This type of financing can allow you to borrow up to 80 per cent of your home’s appraised value (less any outstanding mortgage balance).

Modest gains in urban housing growth: CMHC News – The trend measure of housing starts in Canada was 192,047 units in December compared to 194,807 in November, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). The trend is a six-month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR) of housing starts. “The modest decline in the trend in December reﬂected lower levels of both multiple and singledetached starts,” said Bob Dugan, CMHC’s chief economist. “Overall, activity in 2014 continued to be supported by employment growth and migration with starts remaining essentially unchanged at 189,401 compared to 187,923 in 2013. These factors are expected to continue to promote stability in the pace of new home construction during 2015.” CMHC uses the trend measure as a complement to the monthly SAAR of housing starts to account for considerable swings in monthly estimates and obtain a more complete picture of the state of Canada’s housing market. In some situations analyzing only SAAR data can be misleading, as they are largely driven by the multiunit segment of the market which can vary signiﬁcantly from one month to the next. The standalone monthly SAAR was 180,560 units in December, down from 193,199 in November. The SAAR of urban starts decreased to 162,915 in December, from 173,627 in November. The decrease was led by multiple urban starts, which decreased to 103,054 units in December from 110,766 in November, while single-detached urban starts decreased to 59,861 units from 62,861. Urban housing starts saw

relatively large declines in Atlantic Canada, Quebec and the Prairies, while urban housing starts registered modest gains in Ontario and British Columbia. Rural starts were estimated at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 17,645 units. As Canada’s authority on housing, CMHC contributes to the stability of the housing market and financial system, provides support for Canadians in housing need, and offers objective housing research and advice to Canadian governments, consumers and the housing industry. All starts figures in this release, other than actual starts and the trend estimate, are seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR) — that is, monthly figures adjusted to remove normal seasonal variation and multiplied by 12 to reflect annual levels. By removing seasonal ups and downs, seasonal adjustment allows for a comparison from one season to the next and from one month to the next. Reporting monthly figures at annual rates indicates the annual level of starts that would be obtained if the monthly pace was maintained for 12 months. This facilitates comparison of the current pace of activity to annual forecasts as well as to historical annual levels. The annual estimate of housing starts in 2014 is a preliminary estimate. Revised data will be available is available as of Jan. 15. 3 CMHC estimates the level of starts in centres with a population of less than 10,000 for each of the three months of the quarter, at the beginning of each quarter. During the last month of the quarter, CMHC conducts the survey in these centres and revises the estimate. Source: CMHC

This Week’s Pets Place to meet him, please go and see.

Jarvis Dark sleek and slick, Jarvis loves to share, but as you can see from the picture he enjoyed the last lick. Jarvis has been with LAWS for three months and has shown he’s a cuddler. When you visit him he’ll look at you with his bright longing eyes. Take me home he says…I’m your guy, I’m the one to sit by. He loves to be handled and takes good care of himself. He’s just a little lonely in his small cage at LAWS.

Bolt Hi everyone, my name is Bolt and I’m a playful happy-go-lucky fella. I’m about six-years-old, medium size, a mixture of hound and possibly lab. When I came to the shelter I didn’t know any stuff like sit and down, so I am going to school. My lessons include how to walk nicely on a leash and keep four paws on the ground so I won’t accidentally knock over a small human. I’m really learning very quickly and I’m very gentle when taking treats. But when I’m not in school I love the play yard and making everyone laugh. There’s nothing more fun than grabbing the garbage can lid and running around with it. I am very affectionate and constantly wagging my tail. Although I’m bashful when I first meet you, I warm up quickly. I get along well with other dogs and hardly ever bark. They tell me I’m a real cutie. They even made a movie of me and put it on YouTube. You can see it at: youtu.be/S5WR1AofIhM.

When it’s cool outside, open the windows and turn off the air.

Lifestyle – Thank you to everyone who participated in the grass roots of this charity – a true community effort that continues to grow its original message today. The Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) aim has always been to rescue, provide care and shelter, rehabilitate and rehome Lanark’s stray animal population. With your generous support LAWS continues to provide the strays with all the medical care they need and promotes a spay/neutering program that will help birth control and public health. Moreover, LAWS’ tries to achieve the social and physical rehabilitation of the animals by promoting animal adoption by individuals/families. In addition, it tries to raise public awareness and organize groups of volunteers and programs for the animal care and welfare. Most people believe that the life of every pet has intrinsic value and that we have a special obligation to ensure the life and well being of those animals that we have brought into our homes and our communities as friends and companions. Thirty-five years ago, the nokill movement was a fringe voice championed primarily by grassroots outliers such as the Lanark Animal Welfare Society and its volunteers. Today, no-kill has become the standard against which all municipal shelter operations are or will be measured. Keep up the good work, Lanark County!

Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust pays tribute to man’s best friend Howard Clifford

Community – On the morning of Nov. 19, with Jean and me by his side, our beloved pet Chihuahua, Pepi, passed away peacefully. Anyone who knew him understood that he was an embedded part, heart and soul, into the fibre of the cliffLAND story. He lived his 16 years at cliffLAND and knew it like the back of his hand. Times when I was turned around after bushwhacking into remote parts of the property not visited in years, somehow he invariably knew the way home. Just one month earlier I had sat alone with him at the top of Blueberry Mountain. He seemed to be enjoying the view as much as me, he seemed at peace and equally engrossed in thought. I asked him the question I have so often been asked and could never answer. “How many times have you hiked up Blueberry Mountain?” There have been times when I was two or three years younger and led as many as three trips a day to the top. Almost always Pepi tagged along. Now, like me, his spirit still longed to do so but his body could not. One thing I know, Pepi and I have made this journey more than any other human. I am convinced he loved it too. Following his death I couldn’t help but reflect on his life. I recalled by my daughter-in-law Tania making us laugh by relaying the words of a lady at our annual walk: “Why would anyone bring a Chihuahua for such a long hike?” If only she knew the half of it! Except for Newfoundland, Pepi has tented and hiked in every province and in remote areas of the Yukon and Northwest Territories. He climbed mountains in Alaska, visited Glaciers, hiked parts of the Appalachian trail, hiked and kayaked Walden Pond (of Henry David Thoreau fame), hiked to Grey Owl’s cabin in Manitoba’s Riding Mountain Park, and kayaked to Grey Owl’s cabin in Prince Albert National Park. He visited the haunts of John Muir in California. Probably the most amazing feat was hiking a return distance of 28 km up Mount Robson when he was well into his second decade. But without a doubt, cliffLAND was his turf. He seemed fearless – not afraid of the dark, thunder, or lightning. He once chased a bear and sent a pair of moose running. Both times swaggering back with the look of “You don’t need to worry about them anymore!” He brought to our attention things we would otherwise have missed including the first sighting of a Blanding’s Turtle, a newborn porcupine whose bristles were still soft, snapping turtles and much more. Always reserved with other people, I was surprised by an event on

Pepi the Chihuahua with Howard Clifford atop Blueberry Mountain at cliffLAND, a 1,250-acre protected wilderness area in Lanark Highlands, protected by the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust. Blueberry Mountain while performing a John Muir story to an adolescent group. One of the supervisors told me how helpless she felt when she observed a girl, who had recently attempted to take her own life, bring out a knife. Afraid to make a sudden move, she noticed Pepi get up and walk over to the girl and climb on her lap. The girl visibly relaxed, put the knife away, and petted him. I knew he was astute and sensitive but this was a side I hadn’t seen before. Tribute Two days following Pepi’s death one of the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust’s board members, Stan Errett, who has a special place in his heart for Pepi, made a motion that Pepi be made an honourary director on the board of the land trust. He related that Pepi had actually attended board meetings in my shoulder bag; he had attended all

the nature walks, and was a wonderful ambassador. The motion was warmly and unanimously passed. I noticed that I was not the only director fighting back tears. Pepi must surely be the first dog ever to be so honoured by a land trust! I think Pepi would want me to thank them. He might add: “I loved and guarded this wilderness paradise all of my life – I now must pass on the torch. Please let there be many places like cliffLAND forever protected! Please make it happen!” His shallow grave within earshot of those climbing to the summit, serves to make this spot even more special to Jean and me – may I say even more sacred. As I laid him gently into his final resting place I was at loss for words. Silently, I said, “Well done, Pepi, well done!” Howard Clifford is a member of the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust.

Windsor-built 1955 Dodge truck on the road again Lifestyle – Bob Lassaline of Oldcastle, Ontario, is the proud owner of a 1955 Dodge 1-ton stake truck Model C3D with a 251 C.I.D. 129 hp flathead six cylinder engine with 4-speed transmission. “The original owner,” writes Bob, “was Steve Hornyk of Kingsville, Ontario. Steve purchased the truck new from Bob Wright Motors in Harrow. The original selling price was $2,203.16 Canadian. The truck was built July 18, 1955. It was the 149th of 720 of this model built at the Windsor truck plant. There were approximately 10,000 Dodge and Fargo trucks built in Windsor in 1955. “It was used for farming to deliver tomatoes to the vegetable marketing board. It was taken off the road in March 1984, and then abandoned in an unheated building. The truck had only gone 63,315 miles. It was afflicted with raccoon damage, rust decay, many newer style parts and plastic clearance lights. “I was able to purchase the truck from the original owner’s family in November 2001. I paid $1,000 and two weeks later had to pay a bit over that for six new tires. After refurbishing the body and paint work, new interior work and a few other surprises, I had it on the road for another $3,000. A short time later, new brake pads, master cylinder, and kingpins were installed. I also replaced it back to all original and age appropriate 1955 equipment. Total cost was

around $5,000. “I started working at Chrysler Canada in late 1954 on the assembly line. In May 1955 I was transferred to an office job. The assignments included the op-

portunity to be in all the Windsor plants during part of each day. As many young guys of that age, I was fascinated with trucks. I like to believe that I may have seen my truck somewhere in the plant at that time. “I purchased the truck because I have been an antique Oliver tractor collector and was hauling tractors to shows with a small Dodge Dakota and it was too

light to handle the trailer weight. It was not my intent to consider my ’55 Dodge as a show truck. However, it finished up better than expected and I soon got quite attached to taking the truck to car shows.” And I’m glad Bob does that. I first met his truck at the Maidstone Knights of Columbus Car Show on Sept. 13 organized by Pat and Roseanne Kettels.

I look forward to seeing Bob’s truck at many more shows. I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, Ont. N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in my column will receive a free autographed copy of my recent book: “Old Car Detective Favourite Stories, 1925 to 1965.”

Bob Lassaline’s 1955 Dodge 1 ton stake truck is shown above. The original selling price of the vehicle was $2,203.16 Canadian.

Tips on how to face the frost that comes with winter hours of block heater plug-in time. Any time the thermometer drops to below -20° C at night (or warmer for older vehicles) your outdoor-parked commuter chariot could stand a few hours of socket time. If your ride doesn’t have a block heater and you park it outside or in an unheated/unattached garage, consider getting one. This isn’t a DIY job and can set you back $150 and up depending on the make and model of vehicle. For a temporary substitute you can head down to your local hardware/auto parts store and pick up a mechanic’s trouble-light (the type that takes a regular light bulb and a metal bulb-cage with a hook). Fit it with a 60-watt incandescent bulb and place it securely in the engine

bay making sure it’s well clear of any plastic, rubber, or other ‘meltable’ material. Plug it in to an outdoor socket, turn it on and close the hood on the safety catch only (so it’s slightly ajar). Leave it plugged in all night and in the morning you should have an easy-to-start vehicle that will be quick to warm up (don’t forget to remove the lamp before starting the engine). For best results face the bulb towards the engine block and angle it slightly towards the battery if possible. Short runs that don’t let the engine get up to operating temperatures (especially those at low speeds) can play havoc on your vehicle’s battery and are the top reason for winter no-start conditions. Your car’s battery is depleted of its power every time you start the engine and if you don’t give the charging system enough time to replenish that power you’ll be faced with a dead battery after a few of these runs in extremely

cold weather. Plan your vehicle use and avoid these small hops as much as possible. You can reduce battery strain by being conservative with your use of electrical accessories while driving (e.g. turn down the heater and turn off the defroster as soon as possible) and by raising the engine speed in slow traffic by selecting a lower gear on the transmission. If your transportation needs involve short runs and your vehicle has already experienced a discharged battery, consider purchasing a small battery trickle-charger and learn to use it. These units have advanced in technology and selection and have become very affordable thanks to competition. The Battery Tender brand is a good choice and available from most auto-parts stores at less than $50. To give your vehicle’s battery the best fighting chance to fire up the engine on a frosty morning, make sure you turn off every electrical feature when shutting down for the night. This includes lights, heater fan, radio, etc. Make sure you open the throttle slightly when turning the ignition key (or pushing the starter button); about one-quarter to onethird down on the gas pedal should do it. Quickly release the pedal as soon as the engine catches.

This ensures enough air gets into the throttle and intake to avoid ‘flooding’ the engine. Remote starters can’t do this, which is why it’s risky to use one on a vehicle four or five-years-old or older on extremely cold mornings. The debate on how long to let a vehicle warm up in the driveway is a long one. Engines warm up the most efficiently on the road, at speed and under load, but unless all of the windows and windshield and back glass are clear, it really isn’t safe to pull out into traffic. When these surfaces are free of frost, ice and snow (as should be the rest of the vehicle), head out because letting the vehicle idle any longer is a waste of fuel. If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, [By email to emc@perfprint.ca or directly to bjoeturner@hotmail.com listing ‘Question for the Car Counselor’ on the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 65 Lorne St., P.O.

Lifestyle – Hopefully you and your vehicle survived our recent dip into winter’s deep freeze, but don’t rest easy, the season of our automotive discontent isn’t over yet. While it’’ easy for auto service and parts personnel to provide advice and tools to ensure your ride starts every morning (no matter how low the mercury falls), sometimes we get caught off guard and unprepared, so here’s a few tips to keep your vehicle and you warm and toasty. If your vehicle has a block heater (and most of the Detroit-Three made vehicles do), use it! I know I’ve given this advice before but we still get calls at the shop to come to the aid of motorists who couldn’t get their vehicles started on a minus 25 degree morning, all for the lack of a few

MOVIE: Inherent Vice STARRING: Joaquin Phoenix, Katherine Waterson, Owen Wilson, Josh Brolin, Benicio Del Toro, Reese Witherspoon, and Joanna Newsom DIRECTOR: Paul Thomas Anderson RATING: 14A What. Was. That. Seriously, could someone explain this one to me because I’m still not sure what I saw. Did I see Inherent Vice or Incoherent Vice? It all takes place in 1970 and the story is told by Sortilege (Joanna Newsom) who I think is a friend long gone. Like all great detective stories it begins with a girl. The girl is Shasta Fay Hepworth (Katherine Waterson), and she’s come to see her ex-boyfriend Larry “Doc” Sportello (Joaquin Phoenix) because she needs help. Shasta is mixed up with real-estate mogul Michael Wolfmann (Eric Roberts), and she’s in over her head. She’s hoping that Doc, as a private investigator, can help her, but shortly after they meet she and Wolfmann disappear. Doc starts trying to put the pieces together to ﬁnd her. He has numerous run-ins with Detective “Big Foot” Bjornsen (Josh Brolin) who is either

will be there!

My Take MARK HASKINS

helping him or trying to arrest him. He runs into some Nazi bikers. There’s a saxophone player who is supposed to be dead but isn’t. Then there’s a dentist running some kind of front for a huge drug cartel called the Golden Fang. In what can only be described as a near hallucinatory drug haze Doc somehow has to connect all the dots. Doc might be able to connect those dots, but I sure couldn’t. I’m still trying to figure out what happened, and whether I liked it or not. This film is either a super slick piece of retro ’70s filmmaking, or an absolute and total mess. A lot of this film just happens with no connection to anything else in the film. Except that it does all kind of fit together. It’s like you know the connections are there, but you can’t see them. While the film is hard to decipher it does have its charms – the odd bits of humour,

the colourful characters, and eclectic cast. Reese Witherspoon, Benicio Del Toro, Martin Short, Owen Wilson, Katherine Waterson and everyone else really brings the ’70s to life, or at least the version of the ’70s most people imagine. I’m not sure who is having more fun. Josh Brolin has the hardnosed, straight laced cop who hates hippies, or Joaquin Phoenix as the drugged-out hippie private eye. Not exactly a stretch for either but well played none-the-less. I get how the film’s disconnectedness is all tied to Doc’s own tenuous grip on reality, but I’m not convinced they pull it off. The film is supposed to be an experience and it is, but the intentional disjointedness is almost too much to wrap your head around. In the end Inherent Vice is one of those films you’re just going to have to see for yourself. Mark Haskins’ column appears regularly.

Square dancers enjoy mid-season shindig in Carleton Place Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

Community – Not only is it a good time to have a break in the season, but it’s also a good time to have some fun with other likeminded souls. Just ask any square dancer who made the trip to Carleton Place for the Mississippi Squares Halfway Dance party on Saturday, Jan. 10. There were 346 dancers from eastern Ontario representing 23 square dance clubs. The Meri Squares club from Ottawa was the club with the most dancers, at 48. Some of the clubs furthest way were from Trenton, Peterborough and North Bay. “It’s one of the biggest dances,” said Jim Trach, who along with his wife Jane, is the president of the hosting Mississippi Squares club. “It’s called a Halfway Dance because it’s halfway through the season for our newest members and it’s they have learned enough moves to be able to come out and enjoy a dance like this.” Decked out in their western gear, each club has signature colours. But that’s not a necessary component of the dance, assured Trach. “You can wear anything – it’s dress casual.” Some women, like Jane, wear what is called a ‘prairie skirt.’ “It has become more popular than the full skirts with crinolines that square dancers used to wear,” she said. “A lot of ladies

Above, the Mississippi Mills Squares hosted the 26th annual Halfway Dance on Saturday, Jan. 10 at Notre Dame Catholic High School where approximately 350 dancers from across eastern Ontario took part in the event. Here are some of the organizing club members, including Paul Chehowski, Betty Goodwin (social convener), Kelly Wood and copresident Jim Trach, who heads the club with his wife Jane.

today do not want to wear the big skirts and chose to wear a longer slimmer skirt that does not require a crinoline.” She added that for normal dance/teach nights anything casual is fine and a lot of women wear long pants, especially when it is cold outside. “However for special party night most ladies wear a skirt,” Jane said. The Mississippi Squares have been in existence for 28 years, starting this particular dance just two years later. For the most part, the Halfway Dance is held in Carleton Place at Notre Dame Catholic High School, as the school has the facilities to host such a large gathering. “They’re great here,” said Jim. “We have three rooms: Basic, Mainstream and Plus, and we use the gymnasium which is split in two, and the cafeteria. It is a good setup and they treat us well.” Always looking for new members, they said it’s not just for seniors. “We have younger people joining, and we’d like to get more,” said Jane. Jim added that it is a great way to keep in shape and get some exercise, “not only for your body, but for your mind.” This presidential duo has been dancing for nine years. “We wanted something fun that we could do together,” Jane said. “And we checked it out in Beckwith nine years ago and we’ve been going ever since.”

The Mississippi Squares meet in Beckwith at the municipal offices (Blacks Corners) on Tuesday nights, for Basic and Mainstream lessons. The cost is $60 per session (September to December, then January to April), or $120 for the season, per person. “It’s relatively inexpensive for the amount of fun and exercise you get,” said Jim. For those who would like to give a more advanced dance lesson a try (or who are in that category), attend the Friday night session. On Monday nights, at St. Mary Catholic School in Carleton Place, round dancing is held from 7 to 10 p.m. with cuers (one who cues up the calls) Jean and Don Clingin of South Mountain. “I took this up (cuing) 13 years ago because we like the social dancing,” Jean said. “We got into square dancing in 1998.” The couple also cues in Ottawa. Cuing is different than calling. Calling is done for square dancing where they prompt dance figures. A cuer is used in round dancing as dancers go through the moves on many smaller points. “You have to be a multitasker,” said Brian Crawford who is the most well-known caller for the Mississippi Squares. “And you have to be able to laugh at yourself… seriously, though; you need a mind for the mechanics of it all. You have to keep them all straight.” For more, call 613-592-0862 or visit.mississippisquares.ca

technology along with them, while others showed iCoach members teaching students in the hallways. “It literally, physically changes the dynamic of the classroom,” said Funston. “It takes you out to other places in the building…It breaks down a lot of the barriers,” he said, pointing to a photo of a Grade 9 student learning from a Grade 11 student. Then, pointing to the photos of the students and teachers sitting together, he joked that “even teachers prefer to sit at the back of the room.” It also changes how teachers teach – a Grade 9 science hand-out was reworked by students into a more interactive book creator program. “It’s almost impossible to avoid using it,” said Funston of the technology.

During a later video presentation, Funston admitted that, even he found the new iPads a little daunting: “It has been a real learning curve. But doing it has been a great adventure.” After the video ﬁnished, Funston joked that “I gained a new appreciation for how much time goes into that (making a video).” The conference heard that students are interacting with their world differently than their parents, and that the classroom needs to catch up. A child born in 1995, for example, would have lived in a time when Netscape was the new electronic toy. By the time that child turned three, Google had entered the scene, followed by the iPod at age six, Facebook by age nine, Twitter at 11, the iPhone at age 12, and the iPad once they became a teen a year later.

TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN STUDY Notice of Study Commencement

The Town of Perth has initiated a Transportation Master Plan to evaluate traffic management strategies, transportation corridors and trails and functional routes for all forms of transportation during the next 20 year planning period. The Master Plan will address operational design, planning and policy issues within the context of transportation and land use planning. The Master Plan will build from the last comprehensive Traffic and Transportation Planning Study completed in 1991. It will consider the emergence of active transportation considerations as described in the Town’s Official Plan, and will include multi-modal transportation, including local and commuter auto, emergency service vehicles, linkage to bus and rail, and active modes including walking and cycling. The proposed Master Plan will be fully integrated with the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Process, satisfying the requirement of Phase I (Need and Justification) and Phase 2 (Alternative Solutions) of the EA process. The Comprehensive Transportation Plan will provide the context for implementation of specific transportation infrastructure projects and transportation management initiatives. It will allow the Town to assess the problems and opportunities for addressing long term transportation needs, evaluate a range of alternative solutions and select the preferred strategies. There is an opportunity at any time during this process for interested persons to review outstanding issues and bring concerns to the attention of the Project Managers. A Public Information Centre (PIC) will be held Monday February 9th from 4:30 to 6:30 pm in the Council Chambers of the Perth Town Hall to provide information on the progress to date and to receive comments and feedback on any aspect of the study. If you require additional information related to the study or wish to be added to the mailing list, please contact: Eric Cosens, MCIP, RPP Steven Kwan, P. Eng.

PDCI considers ‘Puppy Room,’ for stressed-out students at exam time desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Stressed-out exam-time students at PDCI may be able to avail of a Puppy Room. The ‘room,’ will actually be Perth and District Collegiate Institute’s (PDCI) learning commons, during lunch on Tuesday, Jan. 20. “An interaction with animals relieves stress,” explained student Sean Fleming during PDCI’s presentation at the Youth Creating Change conference on mental health at the Perth Civitan Club Jan. 9. “We can’t actually have puppies, for insurance reasons,” but that two or three trained “trauma dogs” will be used. Fleming was leading off his school’s mental health awareness club’s report to other high schools from across the county. Another idea the youngsters had was to create a stress kit, which contains “a few different items that they (students) put in a box,” and can take out “when they feel stressed,” said fellow student Sarah Teﬂissi. The boxes can contain items like bubbles, beads, silly putty, marbles

and even a note pad for doodling. These boxes may make an appearance during Mental Health Week in early May. The boxes can be kept at the student’s desk or locker, and the mental health club will likely put them together. The PDCI club meets every Monday afternoon, and “we are looking to remove the stigma of mental health,” said Fleming. “There are still people who are not comfortable with it. (But) it is in everybody’s life. How it affects you is different.” Just because someone has a mental illness, he said, “it does not make them incapable,” he said. He admitted that, when he is stressed, “I find it difficult to go to people.” Carleton Place High School (CPHS) student Jaydon Turgeron gave a lighthearted reason for why he was one of the first members to join his school’s mental health club: “I figured, sure, I have nothing else to do,” he said, with a laugh.

addressed at SFDCI was bullying, but has grown to other aspects of teenage life, like “relieving (the) stress that people were experiencing with exams.” The Smiths Falls students also took part in “We Create Change,” and “We Bake For Change,” which raised about $800 and 200 pounds of food in the space of two months. One of the morning’s hosts, Ian Guenette, said that “we wanted to form a network for mental health” in the county. By doing this, he felt, “we can signiﬁcantly impact our school communities.” While the event was organized by high school students, it was sponsored by Open Doors for Children and Youth, and also by The New Mentality, based in Toronto. “We are all about giving youth a voice,” explained Mary-Anne Leahy, the network coordinator, which sponsored the Disable the Label leadership camp that Turgeron attended. “The projects you guys are doing are amazing.”

“I was so shocked when I got there,” Turgeron said. “I saw so many loving, caring people in one place.” With the CPHS club meeting every Tuesday at lunch, fellow student Wren Darragh said that that feeling was replicated at the school. “We wanted a safe place at our school that we can go to,” Darragh said. “We just want to make the world a better place.” Amongst their initiatives were hosting mental health workshops, taking part in a “Man Up” for mental health initiative, encouraging men to speak out on mental health issues, and a “Suit Up” for mental health project. “We are very proud of you… to make change in your school,” said Turgeron. Like Darragh, Taylor Benda, of Smiths Falls and District Collegiate Institute (SFDCI), also wanted to “provide a safer environment in our school,” where “all issues would be addressed.” The ﬁrst issue that was

Author Roy MacSkimming and the early life of Sir John A. Macdonald Transporting the reader from Kingston, Toronto and Montreal to Savannah, New York City and London, The Secret History of John A. is narrated by Macdonald himself looking back on his life. We meet John’s indomitable mother, Helen, and his ineffectual but charming father, Hugh; his terrifyingly Dickensian schoolmaster, Mr. Baxter. Included is the charismatic, deluded revolutionary Nils Von Schoultz, who leads a failed American invasion of Canada, yet persuades Macdonald, then a rising lawyer, to defend him at his court martial in Fort Henry. That failed invasion is told in the stories of the Patriot War intended to “liberate” the Canadian colonies. Above all, we meet the first (but not last) great love of John

A.’s life, his pretty half-cousin, Isabella. The Secret History of John A. traces the arc of their passionate, doomed marriage from its beginning on the Isle of Man through their desperate journey to the American South, seeking a cure for Isabella’s mysterious illness, to the terrible death of their first-born son, “Little John A.” By the story’s denouement, Macdonald has surmounted the tragedies of his past to become the founding genius of his country. A bold feat of historical re-creation, The Secret History of John A. is also a moving narrative of triumph over adversity and the redemptive power of love. Roy MacSkimming has lived near Otty Lake outside Perth for the past 12 years. This is his fifth work of fiction and eighth book. About his novel Macdonald,

Nino Ricci wrote “Roy MacSkimming not only brings Macdonald to life, he brings him into our hearts.” The Globe & Mail called it “an engaging novel handled with imagination, sympathy and verve, making a hugely enjoyable read.” For more information, please see www.roymacskimming.com The Perth and District Histor-

Now teaching guitar and chamber music at Queen’s School of Music, Jeff is also a Teacher of the Arts with the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board. Jeff also maintains an active performing career. He has recorded for PBS radio and CBC Radio 2 and has given workshops and masterclasses across Canada. True to its title, the concert this weekend will feature an interesting collection of stories, letters and dances. Elizabeth will be singing a beautiful collection of songs by Faure and Schubert, the latter arranged by Jeff. Also

Community - The year 2015 marks the bicentennial of Sir John A. Macdonald. On Jan.15, four days after Macdonald’s 200th birthday, Roy MacSkimming returns to the Perth and District Historical Society to discuss his forthcoming novel, The Secret History of John A. In his earlier novel, Macdonald, MacSkimming portrayed Canada’s founding Prime Minister at the end of his days, a lion in winter. The Secret History of John A. is a prequel to that novel. Opening on the storm-tossed Atlantic in 1820, it takes young John from the age of five through his boyhood and young manhood in Upper Canada, revealing what his political biographers pass quickly over: the formative but little-known experiences that forged his character.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty sure his New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resolution is to get out for more walks. I was held up last month with gallbladder surgery, making my husband the one and only adult who could pick up Alex and walk Tux (but wishing him well. Murray sported his signature Hawaiian shirt, and he plans to go to Cuba this winter with family to celebrate his retirement. Murrayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absence will be missed, but hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoping heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll pop into the pub every once in a while for an encore. Happy Retirement, Ted. Welcoming baby Maggie into our family This is my ďŹ rst column back since we welcomed our daughter into the world on Nov. 8.

Opinion - If someone asks you about where to go out in Perth on a Wednesday night, the suggestion comes easily: Fiddleheadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bar and Grill. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s karaoke night at the pub and its popularity has been spearheaded by the gentleman who ran the show: Ted Murray. For years, Murray has welcomed singers to the microphone to test their vocals in front of a crowd. His warm and inviting demeanour made it easier for those with nerves to hit the stage. He also had a good set of followers who returned to the pub each week, many of whom would sing the same song nearly every week. Hey, if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not broke, why ďŹ x it? Although Murrayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a Wednesday-night ďŹ xture at karaoke night, last week was his last time behind the microphone. He ofďŹ cially retired from the entertainment world, making last Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s karaoke night his ďŹ nal bid adieu. The place was packed with friends and family

An epidemic of kindness Editorial - I stared at the screen for a long time thinking about what to write this week. One thing I learned pretty quickly when writing this “trying to be a humour” column is that the idea is always the hardest part. You don’t have to be a news junkie to realize this has not been a terribly happy week for Planet Earth. If you do happen to be a news junkie like me, however, your various social media feeds would have been populated by a wave of emotional responses to the events in France last week, including images of 3.7 million people marching through the streets of Paris on Sunday. For the ﬁrst time since...pretty much ever, I purposely avoided watching the news for a couple of days. So what to write? What to say about free speech and violence and intolerance and religion? A friend suggested the world could use a little kindness right now. Positive behaviour can be a powerful thing. And THAT reminded me – because apparently I have the world’s shortest attention span – that another friend had inspired me to participate in a “Pay it Forward” initiative on Facebook early last week. I had signed up, then neglected to follow through on the next steps because I got distracted by shiny things – and then by the not-so-shiny things. Fortunately this particular initiative can be completed any time during this calendar year, so I’m still winning. My pay-it-forward friend is always roping me into stuff. Don’t worry – it’s always positive, self-improvement stuff. Well, except maybe for those pranks we pulled when we worked together as students. Actually, those may have been my idea...I can’t remember. Anyway, this is the same friend in Calgary who inspired me to take up running for the ﬁrst time. (The six pounds I gained over Christmas are probably going to inspire me to take up running for a second time.) A few years after my Stupid Foot decided running is a form of torture, my Calgary friend got me moving again by starting a Fitbit challenge (a movement tracker). She set some targets and I actually got up out of my chair to meet them. (Probably this friend should just come and live with me so I don’t turn into some sort of sedentary creature that eats chocolate all day.) The “Pay it Forward” challenge is

Past Deadline

Stephanie Gray

a no brainer for me. The premise is that you post the challenge on your Facebook profile, and the first five people who respond by saying “I’m in” receive a surprise at some point during the calendar year. It could be a book, a postcard, something homemade – whatever little gesture or token you think will make the other person happy. This may seem small, but in our #hashtag society it’s easily seen these sorts of things have a way of growing. Think about all those times stories have hit the news about people paying it forward at a drive thru. Something as simple as surprising the guy behind you by buying his coffee makes the news. And then he buys one for the next guy, and the next person buys one, and suddenly there is a whole town full of happy, well-caffeinated people. That’s a good thing on many levels. Often we’re so prepared for the worst news that the smallest bit of happy news is a very pleasant surprise. It’s not always easy to be kind, but I’ve almost always found that the people who seem to be the least deserving of kindness are the ones who need (or needed) it the most. I’ve also found, time and again, that you get what you give. That last part is particularly important to remember when you are a) thinking of being sarcastic to an authority figure or b) throwing avocados at a hapless cashier. You get what you give. Treat others the way you would like to be treated. This code of behaviour goes by many names, such as The Golden Rule or the Ethic of Reciprocity. Interestingly, the premise can be found in some form in all of the world’s major religions. Go figure. It can be a bumpy road, but this is how I try to roll. Be kind. Pay it forward. Call me naive, but wouldn’t it be wonderful if kindness could spread like a virus around the world? An epidemic of kindness would be quite a news story.

News – Rachel Ogilvie laughs during an icebreaker “Switch Around” game at the Perth Civitan Club hall on Jan. 9, during the Youth Creating Change mental health conference.

Je suis Charlie! Long live Charlie! Editorial – Yeah, but why? When it comes right down to it, that’s what journalism is about. And for me, it all starts with my high school art teacher, Ms. Corriveau. I was working for the high school newspaper, and, to be honest, was a real keener. Almost annoyingly so. I had taken it upon myself to mock-up what I wanted The Falcon’s Eye to look like – a dead ringer for the tabloid New York Post. Needless to say, the teacher coordinators thanked me for my efforts and passed on it. Even then, I was working the political beat, covering student council. One councillor resigned because she felt she was being outvoted by a slate of candidates who had all been elected en masse. And I wasn’t allowed to write about it – which made me want to write about it all the more. “It’ll just open a can of worms, Desmond,” I remember Corriveau saying as we walked down the hall. But even then, only 15, I could not understand why the very same students who had voted just months ago could not know that someone they had put into ofﬁce had stepped down – or why. I

DESMOND DEVOY Des Says kept pushing. And pushing, to the point where she turned around on the stairs of the school, and, eyes ﬂashing, basically told me to drop it. I didn’t and, like to think that, for the most part, I haven’t. “You just can’t leave well enough alone, can you?” I can hear my late mother saying. No. That’s what a good journalist does. As George Orwell wrote, “journalism is putting into print that which others would rather not see in print. Everything else is just public relations.” For me, words to live by. Just as musicians by the score took to their instruments the night John Lennon died in 1980, so too are journalists and cartoonists the world over taking to pen and keyboard to write about last week’s massacre at the French satirical magazine, Charlie Hebdo. In the wake of the tragedy, in a show

of solidarity, newspapers around the world published the cartoon. “Je suis Charlie.” I am Charlie. An “I am Spartacus,” moment, to show that we will not be silenced, and that, while we may ﬁnd the cartoons offensive, we will defend the right of people to publish them. Here in Canada, French-language newspapers from Le Devoir to La Presse to Le Journal de Montreal published the cartoons. Applause for them. And in English-speaking Canada? Only the National Post published them, with Frank magazine promising to follow suit. This newspaper has taken the decision not to publish the Muhammad cartoons from Charlie Hebdo – though I did make this suggestion. Understandably, I am not blind to the consequences of publishing such a cartoon. One need only look at the arson attack on the German daily Hamburger Morgenpost this past weekend to see that. But our public broadcaster, the CBC, decided not to show the cartoons either. The corporation’s journalistic standards

DEAR EDITOR:

From page P8

and practises editor, David Studer, wrote that “We wouldn’t have published these images before today – not out of fear, but out of respect for the beliefs and sensibilities of the mass of Muslim believers.” I respectfully take exception to some of what Mr. Studer has written here. Of course we would not have published these images before today. They were not timely. There was no reason for, say, the National Post, to publish these cartoons, before last Wednesday. Now, it is imperative, not just to show solidarity, but also to understand the all important why of this story. Why are they upset about this picture? Why can’t we see for ourselves? Let us decide for ourselves. Now, I know that this opinion is not popular. My nieces and nephew are Muslim, as is their father. My wife’s column is, at this very moment, in the pages of the Smiths Falls Record News, urging the exact opposite – that the cartoons should not be printed. This has made for some interesting discussions at the Devoy household, and should make for some awkward moments the next time I see my sister Mina’s kids. Kids, I do it not to seek offence, but out of solidarity. I still love you – but need to stand with my fellow journalists who died doing what they, and I, love. On another matter, it’s cartoons today – tomorrow, it’s something I write, or a photo my wife takes. We need to say “enough.” The CBC may say it is making this decision because it does not want to offend Muslims. But once we start worrying about offending people, we lose sight of our job as journalists. Our job is to report, without fear or favour. Our job is to get at the truth – no matter where that may lead us. I have rarely come across a situation where keeping something hidden would make things better. It would be so much easier to only cover light, fluffy stories. I do my share of those too. But I have angered people along the way too, without even trying. But again, is it the truth or is it not? And if it is the truth, why not report it? One of my colleagues stated that she did not want to run the cartoons

because she did not want to die. Self-preservation is a very human trait, yes. I love my wife and daughters, and want to see my little girls grow up. But I don’t want them to live in a world where they have to watch everything they say, where some guy with a gun dictates what cartoons they look at. As a father and journalist, this is not the world I want to leave them – though, I am in no rush to leave it too soon! But if we cower to the terrorist’s demands, they win. They win, when even one cartoonist hesitates at his desk, pen in hand, and wonders, “Hmm, should I really do this?” We say we live in a free society – we are certainly free when it comes to querying Christianity. It’s almost a given that, at almost any moment, Christianity is being satirized, pilloried, and examined, in the western world. Look at the glut of documentaries around Easter time on, say, the Discovery channel looking at everything from, did Jesus have a brother, was Jesus married to Mary Magdelene, to even if Mary of Nazareth was even a virgin. Some Christians would certainly see these as blasphemous. I can only say that most of this examination is for the good. But what of Islam? Why is it not subject to the same examination as other religions in the west? British scholar Tom Holland wrote a book and filmed a documentary for Channel 4 in the U.K. questioning some of the basic tenants of the Islamic faith. Within minutes of the show airing, he wrote, in The Wall Street Journal, that his Twitter account exploded with death threats. When he met with British Muslims face to face in the coming weeks and months after the documentary aired, he was met with respect and they heard him out. Back in 2006, the Scottish priest who visited my mother when she was recovering from her stroke, stood at the front of the faithful at St. Anthony of Padua Roman Catholic Church in Brampton and said, essentially, that “Ye’re nae to be seeing that Da Vinci Code movie.” Just an admonition that there were other, better things to do with one’s time and money. Oh, and then he handed out chocolates to the kids for Easter. (I saw the movie anyway. Bless me father for I have sinned…) Everyone wants to get to Heaven,

but nobody wants to die. On the inverse, nobody wants to die, but nobody wants to be the first to step forward. Or the guy who gets the bullet out of the lineup. But the writers and cartoonists at Charlie Hebdo did die – and the magazine, in yesterday’s million-strong selling edition, did just what it has always done, what it must do. It reprinted the Muhammad cartoons. We need to “laugh them back into the dustbin of history, where they belong,” said British cartoonist Martin Rowson, in speaking to the BBC of the terrorists. I’ll leave the final word to Charlie Hebdo’s late editor, Stephane Charbonnier, who said in 2011 that, while it may sound a bit “pompous,” “I prefer to die than live like a rat.” Amen brother.

Safety Tips

Smoke Alarms: Test your smoke alarms. If a fire starts in your home while you are asleep, you want to know about it immediately. Some homes are equipped with electrically connected smoke alarms that may not work when the power is out. Make sure your home has a batteryoperated smoke alarm on every level.

My daughter has been experiencing MIGRAINE HEADACHES that are causing her to miss school, can chiropractic help? Migraine headaches can be a serious concern, particularly with young women. When a headache causes a person to miss out on school, work and life, it can be extremely disconcerting. In our office, we see children ranging in age from infants to late teens. I always consider a headache in a child to be serious and definitely abnormal. Migraine headaches are serious headaches that can occur on one side of the head, usually affecting vision in some way. Migraines can also heighten ALL the senses, including smell, sound and taste because the pain inducing structures include the cranial nerves. For example, during a migraine your daughter may find the whirring of a fan to be too loud, or the odours from certain foods to cause nausea. Chiropractic care for migraine headaches starts with a thorough consultation, a neurological

exam, X-Ray of the spine if necessary, and a review of all previous treatments. In most cases, any misalignment of the upper cervical spine (neck) can result in what is called ‘cervicogenic migraines’. This is a fancy term for headaches that start from a problem originating in the neck. The neck is often overlooked because the pain of a migraine is felt in the head, not usually felt in the neck. But like most health concerns, the source of the problem is often in a different location from where the symptoms are felt. It is for this reason I believe you should call a chiropractor in your area and have a thorough spinal exam for your daughter. We can help you find a chiropractor in your area so please don’t hesitate to contact our clinic. Blessings, Dr Murphy

missioned overseas. Following his return from overseas he was given an administrative course and assigned to No. 1 Air command until his discharge in August, 1945” Did you know? In the year of 1949, the Royal Canadian Navy incredibly had three almost simultaneous mass insubordination, each of which had varying degrees of severity. First, on Feb. 26, ninety enlisted men on the destroyer HMCS Athabaskan at a fuelling stop in Mexico, constituting more than half the ship’s company, locked themselves in their mess decks, and refused to come out until getting the Captain to hear

their grievances. Then, on Mar. 15 on another destroyer, the HMCS Crescent was in Nanjing, China, where 83 junior ratings held a similar protest. Lastly, on Mar. 20, 32 aircraft handlers on the carrier HMCS Magniﬁcent, on manoeuvres in the Caribbean, refused to turn to for the morning cleaning stations. Thanks to generally sympathetic ships’ Captains, the term mutiny was never used, and no serious charges were laid. Don’t forget our websites: www/ rcl244.com and www.hallofremembrance.ca.

Surprise song in email from musical friend brings early Christmas gift Lifestyle – By necessity, I did the mall thing on the Monday before Christmas into Ottawa, downtown with family. After the busy rush hour traffic heading home on the 417, I must tell you how sweet that solitude felt driving through the dark, surrounded by bush and rocks, snowy fields, their hoar frost-covered trees sparkling whatever light they could muster up, cruising along, west on Highway 7. I could feel the tension slide away as we pulled into our wee piece of heaven...Perth. For a change, my long distance holiday driving was done and I could park to settle in for a more lulling festive season. After hearing news of the tragic random police officer killings in Florida that weekend past on the radio while driving home, and, probably also the effects of my having waited in emergency for a few hours the previous week with my dad in Orillia, thus witnessing a snippet of what goes on behind the scenes with our other First Responders – nurses, doctors, paramedics, firefighters and by extension, our military, highway crews,

power workers, caregivers wherever – (we all know a few of them) – I realized how lucky we are to be living where we do, here in Canada for one, but also how blessed I feel to be in our warm, caring community of Perth. We arrived home relaxed, after family fun and frolic throughout the day and I checked my computer. Anyone who knows me knows of my love of music and, for those who don’t live here, its pretty nice having so many quality musicians live nearby. One of these musical friends is Shawn Mccullough.

He’d never tell you but he was once nominated for a Canadian Country Guitarist of the Year Award when he toured with Jason McCoy. Besides being a family man he’s a hard working singer/ songwriter who, every once in a while, records a rough version of a new song he’s written and sends it out. There was this song from him waiting for me in my inbox so I had a listen. It was called The Canadian Soldier and he was dedicating it all of them, giving thanks for all they do to try to keep this increasingly crazy world safe for us.

It was as if Christmas came early for me. I couldn’t believe how his song connected with what I’d been thinking on my way home, that very day Shawn used his musical gifts to interpret into music and share. We take a lot for granted. Thanks to these folks, we’re able to enjoy our families, our friends and community this holiday season...because of these First Responders, their dedication, working unwelcome hours, sometimes a long way from family, we’re able to really relax. Though Shawn’s song is about our military, I felt it spoke to all our First Responders. Thanks for all you do so we can enjoy the peace we do! Thanks Shawn…Christmas came early for me…another keeper! I’m sure it will be on his next CD. Over Christmas I also heard a nice tune, Stay This Way, by country singer Charley Smith from his upcoming new CD. Charley wrote this song as a gift to George Strait and his wife Norma and, apparently a friend of Charley delivered

I remember hearing him many times, most often with the late Paul Rimstead’s band. He was the artistic director for the Toronto Jazz Festival from 1987 to 2009. I also remember hearing rave reviews for his jazz services at Harmony Road United Church, back in the day. Another gentle musical spirit lost.

How to properly protect yourself from catching the flu complications such as pneumonia. Who is most at risk Some people are more likely to get seriously ill if they catch the flu, including: • People 65 years of age and older; • Residents of nursing homes and other chronic care facilities; • Children and adults (including pregnant women) with chronic medical conditions, such as cancer, cardiac disorders, asthma, and morbid obesity (people with a body mass index greater than 40); • Healthy children six months to five years of age; • Aboriginal Peoples; and • Healthy pregnant women, at any stage of pregnancy. How to avoid getting the flu The seasonal influenza vaccine is safe and effective and remains the best protection against influenza viruses. Everyone over the age of six months is encouraged to get the vaccine. It is especially important for those who are more likely to get seriously ill or suffer complications if they catch the

flu. Getting the flu shot every year is important because the vaccine is reformulated annually to protect against the most current strains of the virus expected to be circulating during flu season. This year’s flu vaccines were designed to protect against specific influenza viruses and strains that were expected to make people sick this winter. Flu viruses are constantly changing which is why a flu vaccine is needed each year. Flu vaccine is made up of the flu strains that research suggests will cause the most illness in the upcoming flu season. The influenza A H3N2 strain circulating this year appears to have changed compared to the strain chosen for this season’s vaccine. However, the vaccine can still provide some protection and remains the best way to protect yourself and your loved ones from the flu. It’s also important to remember that the flu vaccine protects against three or four flu viruses (depending on the type of vaccine you receive), so even when there is a less than ideal match or lower effectiveness against one virus, the vac-

cine will protect against the remaining two or three viruses. In addition to getting the flu shot, you can protect yourself and your family from infection during flu season by taking the following steps: • Clean hands frequently; • Cough and sneeze into your arm, not your hand. If you use a tissue, dispose of it as soon as possible and wash your hands; • If you get sick, stay home; • Keep your hands away from your face; • Keep common surface areas – for example, doorknobs, light switches, telephones and keyboards – clean and disinfected; and • Eat healthy foods and stay physically active to keep your immune system strong. If you are elderly and at high-risk of complications or if you are severely ill with the flu, consult your health care professional regarding early treatment with antiviral drugs to help manage the illness. It is important that antiviral

drugs be started as early as possible after you get sick. Flu shots are also highly recommended for: • Those in close contact with individuals at high-risk for complications (e.g. healthcare workers, household members, and those providing childcare to children up to five years of age); • Those who provide services within closed or relatively closed environments to persons at high risk (e.g. crew on a ship); • People who provide essential community services including emergency medical responders such as paramedics, police and firefighters; and • People in direct contact during culling operations with poultry infected with avian influenza.

Lifestyle – Seasonal influenza (the flu) is a serious illness that infects millions of Canadians every year. It is a common infectious respiratory disease that begins in the nose and throat. It is highly contagious and can spread rapidly from person to person. Flu cases result in approximately 12,200 hospitalizations and, on average, 3,500 deaths in Canada each year. So far this year, H3N2 influenza has been the most common strain circulating in North America. Seniors, those aged 65 and older, are usually the most affected by the H3 flu type. Symptoms Influenza typically starts with a headache, chills and cough. Those are quickly followed by fever, loss of appetite, muscle aches and fatigue, running nose, sneezing, watery eyes and throat irritation. Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea may also occur, especially in children. Most people will have uncomplicated influenza and recover from the flu within a week or ten days, but some are at greater risk of developing more severe

DEATH NOTICE

Ladly Frederick Bernard Ladly

1930-2015 Frederick (Fred) Bernard Ladly died amongst his loved ones, at the age of 84 on Jan. 5th in Perth, Ontario. Fred was born in Toronto on July 14, 1930, the eldest son of John and Olivia Ladly (nee Fennimore) and brother of Joan, Margaret and Jack. Fred graduated from the University of Toronto, Victoria College, where he majored in Philosophy. While preparing to enter law school in 1951, his father died suddenly. He decided instead to join Canada Packers to support the family. Over a three-decade career, he rose from mail clerk to Executive Vice President. Fred married Lois (Schell) in 1954 and they had four daughters - Martha, Patricia, Elizabeth, and Katherine. The couple later separated, and in 1979 Fred married Sharon Davidson. Their first date was a stopover in Frankfurt, and they never stopped travelling. Fred had two more daughters with Sharon - Sarah and Meghan. Fred was a devoted father who spent much of his time off work in family activities, especially skiing - a sport for which he had a lifelong passion - at the Beaver Valley Ski Club, which he helped to found. In 1984, Fred became the CEO of Extendicare Health Services. He commuted to Toronto when the family moved to Fallbrook Ontario, Sharon’s family home, in 1991. Fred quickly became involved with the community as a generous friend and supporter of local projects, and one of the founders of the Perth and District Community Foundation. He continued his work in Toronto until 1997, when he retired as President and CEO of Extendicare Inc. Fred actively pursued both business and pleasure into his 80s. He served on numerous boards, including as Chairman of Extendicare until 2010, and only last year he was swimming in Barbados with his family. He will be remembered for his gregariousness, generosity, youthful sense of mischief, and love of lemon pie. Fred will continue to be loved and missed by his wife Sharon, his six daughters Martha (Dan Solomon), Trish (Robert Wright), Liz (Yves Rebetez), Kath (Ken Fredeen), Sarah (Selena SimmonsDuffin) and Meghan, his nine grandchildren Elizabeth (Heidi Wright), Katie, Alexandra, Rebecca, Connor, Patrick, Shantelle, Dorian, and Ana - with a tenth on the way - and two great grandchildren, Robbie and George, as well as his many relatives, associates and friends. A funeral was held on Saturday, January 10th, 2015 at 11:00 am at St. Andrew’s United Church in Lanark, followed by a reception at Code’s Mill in Perth at 1:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Perth and District Community Foundation through Canadahelps.org, or the Alzheimer Society of Canada.

IN MEMORIAM

HAGAN, Harold – Sept. 23, 1933Jan. 5, 2011 My father was a farmer. He would plant the seeds in springtime, The corn, the beans, the hay, He prays that God would Bless it, A harvest, Lord, he prays. He tilled and cultivated it, Provided the most tender care, Believed that come October He would reap a harvest fair. Blue skies were his cathedral, The tractor, his alter of prayer, God meets him in the cornfields, They have communion there. My father was a farmer That’s what he wanted to be, The values that the land taught him, He handed down to me. I loved my farmer father, I’m thankful that he was mine... I pray that God will Bless him, Today and for all time. Lovingly remembered by son, Chris.

WOODS, Gladys – In loving memory of a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother who passed away one year ago, January 20, 2014.

We made our vows together, Until death do we part, But the day God took you from me, My whole world fell apart. Sometimes I think I am dreaming, I can’t believe it is true. If I could have a lifetime wish, A dream that would come true, I’d pray to God with all my heart, For yesterday and you. And when I am sad and lonely, And everything goes wrong, I seem to hear you whisper, “Cheer up and carry on.” Each time I see your picture, You seem to smile and say, “Don’t cry, I’m only sleeping, We’ll meet again some day.” Forever missed, Wayne and family.

IN MEMORIAM

HANNAFORD, Bev – In loving memory of a special Mom, mother-in-law, nan and great nan who passed away January 6, 2007. If flowers grow in Heaven Lord please pick a bunch for us Place them in my mother’s arms And tell her they’re from us. Tell her we love her and miss her And when she turns to smile Place a kiss upon her cheek And hold her for awhile “You are the wind beneath my wings”. Always remembered and forever loved, Marg, Barry and family

LEESON – In memory of Larry Leeson Sept. 4, 1941 - Jan. 14, 2008 Our lives are busy. But everywhere we look, there you are. You would love Anastasia’s new crop of lab pups. We can see you there, with an armload of puppies, laughing. There you are. At your grandson’s hockey game, cheering him on. At Sunday dinner, telling a story that may not be entirely true. On that snowmobile that just went by. Your memory lives on in all of us. We love you, Dad / Grandpa / Larry. From your loving family.

Connected to Your Community A/CP/K/P/SF - 40 - Thursday, January 15, 2015

“Wanda” Tensen April 1, 1950 - January 9, 2014 In loving memory of my wife, mother, daughter and granddaughter. These are the things death cannot take away; Nor age, nor tears, nor pain, nor cruel care Can harm her now or enter memory’s hall, She that we loved, so beautiful and fair, From all life’s dangers now secure is she; Lovely she was and lovely she shall be. from your husband Peter, mother Iva and family, Lorrie and family and Peter Jr. and family

Anglers encouraged to stay safe on the ice News – The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry is reminding anglers to check local ice conditions before heading out onto the ice to ﬁsh. Ice conditions can be deceptive and variable. Remember: • Ice does not freeze at a uniform thickness across most lakes and rivers. This can be even more hazardous at the start of the winter season when nearshore ice is often much thicker and safer than ice further out. Check thickness regularly with a spud bar or auger as you move further out on the ice. • Not all ice is created equal. AUCTIONS

AUCTIONS

Ice that has formed over ﬂowing water, springs, pressure cracks, old ice holes or around the mouths of rivers and streams can be weaker than surrounding ice. • Clear blue ice is the strongest. White or opaque ice is much weaker. Ice that has a honeycombed look, common during thaws or in the spring, should be avoided altogether. • Travelling on frozen lakes or rivers with snowmobiles or vehicles can be particularly dangerous and added precautions must be taken. At least 20 centimetres (eight inches) of clear blue ice is required for snowAUCTIONS

mobiles and 30 centimetres (12 inches) or more is needed for most light vehicles. This thickness should be doubled if the ice is white or opaque. • Heavy snow on a frozen lake or river can insulate the ice below and slow down the freezing process. Before venturing out • Check ice conditions with local ice hut operators or other anglers. • Let others know where you’re planning to ﬁsh and when you plan to return. • Appropriate clothing and equipment are critical to safety

AUCTIONS

and comfort; many anglers wear floatation suits and carry a set of ice picks. Ice huts must be registered in Fishery Management Zones 12, 18 and 20. As of Oct. 7, clients will need to register their new ice fishing huts online.

more money. “Once you get your original money, that’s it,” he was told. Oh, and on top of that, they were short by $15 million. “That would have bankrupted the town,” said Staples. So, he re-tendered the contract and the lowest bid came in at $25 million. He arranged a meeting with provincial cabinet minister Leona Dombrowsky in Belleville. She told him that the province would up its contribution – if the feds did the same.

Former Smiths Falls Mayor Dennis Staples acknowledges our photographer before the start of his speech to the Probus Club of Perth on Jan. 7, at the Perth Royal Canadian Legion hall. most difficult decisions I made as mayor.” The sale went through for $5.7 million, of which, years later, $5.5 million went to pay down the debt left over from the new water treatment plant, with the remainder of the funds going to pay for the then new seniors recreation facility, which opened in 2006. One of Staples’ lessons, one learned by other politicians before him, was to buy time to seek a better solution. In 1999, both VIA Rail Canada and Canadian Pacific Rail applied for a permit to demolish the old train station. “No, no demolition permit until you can tell us where the new station will be,” said Staples. In time, the companies offered to sell the station to the town for $1, which Staples paid off out of his own pocket. “I don’t think the town ever paid me back the $1,” he joked. Now, Smiths Falls has a new VIA Rail station, with a bathroom, no less. As for the old station, it has found new life as the Station Theatre. “Saying no is not such a bad idea at times,” Staples said. Four years after the RCC announcement, with one year left to go until its closure, Staples and his family were enjoying the Canada Day festivities in 2008. He dropped home around 6 p.m.

to have a shower before continuing the party. A local newscast, at 10 past the hour, reported that the Stanley Tools plant in Smiths Falls would be closing in 90 days. “I heard about it on the news,” said Staples. Another shock He had received a similar shock in February of 2007, when he received three phone calls, from the CBC, CTV, and the Ottawa Citizen, wondering if he had any comment on the Hershey chocolate plant closing. He checked with his office staff and found that there had been no phone calls or faxes from Hershey. Again, another unpleasant surprise. Someone joked to him at the time that he had picked the worst time to be mayor. “I picked the best time to be mayor,” he said. “We will work through this.” He also told then Premier Dalton McGuinty shortly after the Hershey announcement that “we are willing to work with you to find solutions.” Staples points out that the announcement was “not a definite” and that there was still a chance of saving the plant. A local union boss wanted to meet with Staples shortly after the announcement, and they met at the local Best Western hotel.

“You folks are in contract negotiations right now,” said Staples to the union members gathered in the room. “My advice is to get back to the negotiation table. Try to get a deal you can live with.” One union member suggested extending the current contract for a year instead. “That’s not the right thing to do,” Staples said. “They could have struck a deal. That plant would still be there. They (Hershey) were going to double the work force.” Instead, as he saw it, the “house of cards” collapsed, and the plant closed in late 2008. Meanwhile, the town corporation was having its own internal headaches, including finding “mega bucks to rehabilitate,” the water treatment plant. It was determined that it would actually be cheaper to buy a new building on Abbott Street, with 1/3 funding from the provincial and federal governments. The town’s consultant said with certainty that the new facility would cost $19.8 million – only to have the lowest tender come in at $35 million. “How could you miss by that much?” Staples wanted to know. The consultant said that the price of copper and steel had gone up. Both Queen’s Park and Parliament Hill had ponied up $6.6 million project each, but Staples was told that they could not get

News – It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. But this was not A Tale of Two Cities, but rather of one town: Smiths Falls. If any Lanark County town can claim hard times over the past several years, surely it is them. It was not the best time for Dennis Staples, or indeed, anyone, to be mayor, but he had signed up for it and, by his own point of view, made the best of a bad situation. For someone who saw thousands of jobs leave his town in the space of a decade, as he stood before the Probus Club of Perth during their monthly meeting at the Royal Canadian Legion hall on Wednesday, Jan. 7, he seemed remarkably relaxed. It wasn’t just because his 30 years on Smiths Falls town council had come to an end the month previous – the first 10 as a councillor, starting in 1985, the final 20 as mayor. “If I had known it was so much fun, I would have done it a lot sooner,” he said of his years as mayor. “You can’t score any goals when you are not on the ice. You’ve got to get in the game.” Going through 29 years worth of pocket day planners, he estimated that he had attended 10,115 events in his capacity as mayor. Some of his other meetings though, like any job, were more trying than others – and some phone calls too. The bad news for Smiths Falls started with a 3 p.m. phone call at his Otty Lake cottage on Sept. 7, 2004, when Ontario cabinet minister Sandra Pupatello phoned to tell him that on Sept. 9, the Rideau Regional Centre (RCC) would be announcing that it was closing down. “That’s when it all started,” Staples said. There had been an announcement years before that the RCC and other centres like it would no longer be accepting young people, so the phone call was not a complete shock. “I knew, eventually, that it would happen. Unless you were filling up those rooms, you’ll have a whole bunch of vacant rooms.” The ministry promised that it would help affected communities when the centres closed down in 2009. Staples, and other neighbouring municipalities, like Drummond/North Elmsley, Montague, Rideau Lakes, ElizabethtownKitley and Merrickville-Wolford, said: “we’ve got to work together,” since the centre’s closing would have knock-on effects for the whole area. They proposed an alternate use study – “at this point, the province was not forthcoming.” Another challenging time was the decision to sell the Smiths Falls hydro utility, calling it “one of the

After putting in a call to Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington MP Scott Reid, he was able to arrange a meeting with federal cabinet minister John Baird, which helped nail the deal. “Whenever there is an obstacle, you find your way around it,” said Staples. “It’s called quiet persistence.” Sometimes, however, this persistence, while still quiet, has to be sped up. In 2007, Jim Watson, then the provincial Health

Back to classes for PDCI students Community - We hope everyone had a great break away from school. Classes will be finishing up the last units of the course, and will begin exam prep. Be sure to start studying. We have some great tips for you leading up to exams. To start off, make sure you ask your teacher for an exam outline. This is a great way to be sure you are studying the correct context. Next, review your notes. Most exams will be based on notes and previous tests. Last week, PDCI iCoaches held their â&#x20AC;&#x153;iCoach and You Can Tooâ&#x20AC;? conference. It was a great success, and they would like to thank everyone who participated. It is great to see so many teachers excited about the integration of iPads into classes. The PDCI boys basketball teams began the new year by travelling to North Bay for an ex-

hibition tournament. A total of 24 high schools participated from northern, central and eastern Ontario. Both PDCI teams went 1-1 in round robin play on Friday. This meant that each team would play in the B side semi-finals on Saturday morning. The junior devils had their best game of the season to date in the semi-finals with a very close 35-29 victory over Algonquin High School of North Bay. The team then went on to defeat Timiskaming High School in the final, 45-25.

bottled water facility. But Staples admitted that â&#x20AC;&#x153;after six weeks,â&#x20AC;? it â&#x20AC;&#x153;sounds too good to be true. They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the $40 million to buy their equipment. They were talking about 800 jobs. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen.â&#x20AC;? The water bottling proposal eventually collapsed, and the plant lay dormant. By 2013, the private company that owns the Hershey plant applied for a demolition permit, but, again, like the VIA Rail station, Staples said no. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the eternal optimist,â&#x20AC;?

he said, and, a few months later, he was proven right, when Tweed, a medical marijuana company, said it was interested in using the plant for indoor growing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the size we need,â&#x20AC;? they told him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to happen somewhere in Canada. It might as well be here,â&#x20AC;? said Staples. In December of 2013, Tweed moved in and he has done 55 interviews, with media outlets all over the world, including The New York Times, about the plant.

Promotion Minister, visited the Smiths Falls Civitan Club for an announcement on the installation of defibrillators. Staples took advantage of the face time with Watson to inquire about the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aging arena. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dennis, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no money for arenas,â&#x20AC;? said Watson, according to Staples. But, he went on, â&#x20AC;&#x153;you have 15minutes.â&#x20AC;? Staples made the most of the 15minutes, driving Watson to the old arena. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the arena weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to salvage,â&#x20AC;? said Staples of the building which was showing its age, and whose continued operation was being given the green light only on a year-by-year basis. But it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that aging edifice that caught Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eye. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that building,â&#x20AC;? he asked, pointing to a nearby and newer building. Staples said it was the seniors recreation centre and, with so many seniors converging nearby, it would dovetail nicely to have them walk over to the proposed indoor walking track he envisioned for the arena. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what they want,â&#x20AC;? said Staples. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The longer we can keep them active, they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to go there,â&#x20AC;? he said, pointing to the Smiths Falls hospital across the road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As the Health Promotion Minister, you should know that.â&#x20AC;? In time, the money came through â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to which Staples thanks the seniors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank a senior. They made it happen,â&#x20AC;? he said. While Staplesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; speech, as a personal recollection, naturally centred on the role he played in recent moments in Smiths Falls history, he did stress that no one can do it alone, and that more good things get done when no one cares who gets the credit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would rather pass the puck so that someone else could score,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could care less, so long as the goal gets scored.â&#x20AC;? Sometimes, however, the white knight that a community sees on the horizon turns out to be a mirage â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as Smiths Falls discovered with Aqua Blue, which proposed taking the old Hershey plant and turning it into a

any one of them,” she added.

News – A Carleton Place woman received an unwelcome New Year’s Eve surprise while preparing dinner for her family – her husband and three young children. Erin Patchell told the Canadian Gazette she was shredding cheese for tacos on Dec. 31 when she heard “a weird scraping sound.” “The first time (it happened) I didn’t really think much of it, but when I heard it again I discovered a piece of glass completely embedded in the (cheese) block,” she said. The cheese in question is a Kraft Cracker Barrel medium cheddar in a 500 g block. It has a best before date of 15 MA 14 (May 14, 2015) and the batch number is 22: 51 1B 7. “Later, when I was cleaning up I noticed another shard of glass on the counter,” Patchell said. The cheese was purchased in Carleton Place within the last month; however, the exact store is not known. “I usually buy cheese when it’s on sale – four or five blocks,” Patchell said, “and I go to every store: FreshCo, Walmart and Independent.” “So it could have come from

Reported After discovering the alleged glass, Patchell called Kraft on Jan. 4 to report the incident. She spoke to a “low level representative,” providing the cheese block’s best before date, batch number and other basic details such as colour. “They said another representative would be calling me back within 48 to 72 business hours,” Patchell said. “However, I got the feeling they weren’t taking it very seriously,” she added. On Jan. 5 a man from Kraft called Patchell. During the conversation, he told her “sometimes sugar molecules combine and create crystals that look like glass,” but upon further discussion “finally did admit that probably wasn’t the case here.” Kraft wants to send the glass and cheese to a lab for testing. “I may be a little paranoid, but that put up the red flag,” Patchell said. “If I ship them back they’re gone.” The wife and mother made the decision to post her story on social media. Based on lots of feedback she also reported the incident to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) on

tgesner@perfprint.ca

Jan. 6. “CFIA called me back (that day), saying they would send my information to their Ottawa office,” Patchell said. “Hopefully, I hear something soon.” “I also received another call from a Kraft representative,” she continued. “I sent them the photos I took.” Patchell heard from CFIA on Jan. 7. They picked up the cheese and glass the following day (Jan. 8). “The CFIA representative indicated they would be passing the product to Kraft for further investigation and following up with them,” she said. “Also, they will be updating me on the status of the investigation when there is more information.” Patchell isn’t one to seek public attention; however, she was frustrated with the response she received from Kraft, and “I figured if this happened to someone else nearby, I would want to know.” She’s still eating the other Cracker Barrel cheeses she purchased (marble, etc.), only no more medium from the same batch. “Just be careful,” Patchell warned. “Check the expiration date and batch number.”

the addition of Nick Mucci, Ryan Daniels and Alex Dala. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We traded Brad Stitt to Casselman for a PDF (player development fee) and a 16-year-old card,â&#x20AC;? said the coach. The Blue Wings also traded Brody Cross to Alexandria of the Rideau-St. Lawrence League for futures and a 16-year-old card; and they sent Christian Bueti to Alexandria for a couple young cards as well. Brody Cross went to Prescott but the Blue Wings hold his rights. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a rental,â&#x20AC;? said Milberry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We still hold his rights.â&#x20AC;? The Blue Wings also picked up a 16-year-old card for goalie Dyland Brindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Amour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot of assets now,â&#x20AC;? the coach said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And a lot of trade bait for the off season. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy with what we got and the guys are happy with their trades.â&#x20AC;?

Sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Perth Jr. B Blue Wings have solidified their roster with the focus being on the 2015/16 hockey season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unless my math is off, and we win our next nine and Shawville loses their next nine, we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make the playoffs,â&#x20AC;? Mat Milberry, head coach and general manager told the Perth Courier on Monday after a huge win over the Arnprior Packers Sunday, 6-5 in a shootout. Milberry said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feeling some relief of the GM duties now that the Jan. 10 trade deadline has come and gone and he can focus more on the head coach job for the remainder of the season and their final nine games. Not only hockey, the young coach can also be a bit more focused at home, being a busy dad to two little girls, ages 3 and 1. As for the trade, Milberry picked up three Carleton Place 16-year-olds with Results

On Sunday the Blue Wings showed the Arnprior Packers that they mean business as Perth came out on the winning end of the 6-5 shootout. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got off to a good start yesterday,â&#x20AC;? Milberry said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got the guys and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got the tools and now they just have to execute.â&#x20AC;? The Blue Wings got off to a two-goal start with markers from Cole Timchuck and Cameron Cornwall. Renfrew tied it in the second as Lucas Gonu and Bailey Hein each scored on the powerplay for a 2-2 score with 7:02 left in the second. Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mucci put the Blue Wings up to end the second on a high note, 3-2. Cornwall and Mucci padded the lead early in the second as Perth held on to a 5-2 lead with 9:02 showing. Renfrew responded with Teddy Desmond Devoy/METROLAND Suckowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shorthanded marker at 10:57

Then Gonu scored the equalizer with 17:20 showing as the teams headed into overtime. Goaltending was stellar at both ends of the ice with Brett Ayers claiming the win in nets with 33 saves. Matt Gagne was hit with the loss with 29 saves. In the shootout, Bryan Fancy was credited with the winning marker as both teams sent three players to the line.

Friday Doef fundraiser Friday at home the Blue Wings raised the roof for Neil Doef, the young hockey player from Smiths Falls who suffered a spinal cord injury last month in a hockey game in Saskatchewan. Doef has been in extensive rehabilitation in an Ottawa hospital since Dec. 24 when he was flown home by Medivac. As of last weekend, Doef has since

started to regain feeling in his lower extremities with the ability to move one leg a bit and has sensations in his toes of his other leg. Doef’s grandmother, Delores Beaupre, said she was thrilled with the news about her grandson. “I don’t care if he ever plays hockey again, I just hope he is able to walk,” she told the newspaper on Monday, Jan. 12. “He is coming along. His spirits are good and he has a good outlook,” she said. “He has some feeling in one leg and a couple of toes on the other. Ernie (husband) has gone to see him today, so hopefully he’ll have even more good news.” Beaupre said that Bruce (Neil’s father) took him in the wheelchair Sunday to Tim Hortons restaurant which is located in the hospital. “He is a determined young man so hopefully we will see him walk again,” she said. Desmond Devoy/METROLAND Since Doef’s accident, the outpouring of love and support, and even food Sports – Above, Blue Wings goalie Brett Ayers looks on in disbelief behind him to see the puck bouncing off donations, has been tremendous… not the back of the net.

And on Friday night in Perth, the Jr. B Blue Wings collected some $2,400 with their Buckets of Love pails that were passed through the filled stands for the Almonte/Perth game. “We can’t thank the community and our friends enough. People we haven’t heard from for years are calling us with offers of help. All we have to do is call them,” said an emotional Beaupre.

“Everyone has been so wonderful. It brings tears to our eyes.” Milberry said it was a great effort by the fans of the Perth Blue Wings. “We can’t thank our community and our loyal fans enough,” Milberry said. “It was a great effort from everyone.”

they watched Almonte score three more in the period for the 5-1 final. “I think it was one of the more disappointing losses of our season,” said the coach. “We let emotions get the best of us.
