Perth tobogganers have a ticket to ride

News – Tobogganers at Conlon Farm do not need to worry about town hall bureaucrats plugging up the snow hill and taking their toboggans away. “Tobogganing is allowed,” promised Mayor John Fenik during the town council meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 20. In fact, Fenik went so far as to say that, when he sees an opportunity to toboggan himself, “I will be the first one on the slope… It will always be a fun time down on the slopes.”
Coun. Judy Brown noted that the Fire and Ice Festival, sponsored by Perth Tourism, which will be held at Conlon Farm on Saturday, Feb. 14, will include many activities – including tobogganing. Since a town-run event will include tobogganing, Brown said, “that speaks to our position” on the activity. There will also be skating, a snowman-building contest, hot refreshments, snowshoeing and more. Later in the day, at the Crystal Palace, starting at 7 p.m., Riq Turner and his new band will perform. There
will be a $5 cover charge. Ages 19 and older only at the evening event, which features an ice bar. Hamilton, Ont. has banned tobogganing or sledding at city parks and raised the maximum fine for doing so to $5,000. Municipal bureaucrats in Calgary, Alta., St. John’s, N.L., and Sudbury, Ont., are reviewing their policies on the practice. “I know that there are a lot of towns that are looking at it as a liability issue,” said Fenik. “But we are not looking at anything like that.”
Sports – Michael McLean, the Perth Jr. B Blue Wings owner has confirmed that the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League (EOJHL) will be undergoing some major changes in the off season, the biggest of which will be the potential folding of six of its 22 teams. Currently, the league has two conferences – Metro/Valley and the Rideau-St. Lawrence with two divisions in each conference. The Metro Division is comprised of Ottawa West Golden Knights, Ottawa Canadians, Clarence Beavers, Gatineau Mustangs and the Metcalfe Jets, while the Valley League has the Arnprior Packers, Perth Blue Wings, Almonte Thunder, Renfrew Timberwolves, Stittsville Rams and the Shawville Pontiacs. In the Rideau-St. Lawrence Conference, teams in the Rideau Division include the Westport Rideaus, Athens Aeros, Gananoque Islanders, Prescott Flyers and Brockville Tikis. The Win-
chester Hawks, Casselman Vikings, Alexandria Glens, Char-Lan Rebels, Morrisburg Lions and Awkesasne Wolves comprise the St. Lawrence Division. The league will be reconfigured as a Central Canada Hockey League Tier II and will work in conjunction with the current CCHL league’s Tier 1 teams. Teams who want to play in the new CCHL Tier II had to apply for a position, according to Michael McLean, the owner of the Perth Jr. B Blue Wings. “We will be affiliating with two Junior A teams,” McLean said. “We had to apply for a position but we were one of the last teams to do so.” Plans to reorganize the league started last April, according to McLean. “It will be a good thing for us in Perth because we already have the work ethic and the fan base, and we’re right in the middle of two Jr. A teams – the Carleton Place Canadians and the Smiths Falls Bears. We’ll work in association with these two teams as their farm team.” See EOJHL page P4
Plan for power outage Friday STAFF
News – Hydro One will be interrupting power on Friday from 9 a.m. to noon in North Burgess and North Elmsley. This will affect about 575 customers. Hydro One requires this interruption to perform maintenance and upgrades to
equipment. “We apologize for the inconvenience to our customers,” Hydro One says. “However, scheduled power interruptions are necessary to maintain a reliable power delivery system. Your patience is appreciated.”

Unique health care model puts patients first in Rideau-Tay corridor sroy@perfprint.ca
News – Complex care patients throughout the Rideau-Tay corridor are experiencing health care like never before through the newly-introduced Health Link model that puts the patient’s voice at the centre of care. “It’s not what’s the matter with you, but what matters to you and it’s a very different question,� said Peter McKenna, executive director of Rideau Community Health Services. He also co-chairs the Rideau-Tay Health Link with Dr. Peter Cunniffe. The Rideau-Tay Health Link covers the communities of Lanark Highlands, Perth, Rideau Lakes, Merrickville-Wolford, Smiths Falls and Montague where approximately 54,000 people reside. The Rideau-Tay Health Link is one of seven in the South East LHIN and is a model of care that starts off by asking complex patients what their health care goals are. Complex patients are anyone with four or more active chronic conditions. The Rideau-Tay Health Link committee meetings monthly and includes patient representation. The meetings open each month with a retelling of a patient’s story. “They tell us that story to keep us real,� McKenna added. “Patients help us design the system.� Maureen McIntyre, project manager for Health Link was hired this summer to oversea implementation of the health care approach following Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care approval of their business plan and funding. Since then McIntyre has worked with 20 patients to create a co-ordinated care plan. Individuals are being identified right now by their physicians and health care services for referral to the program. “Certainly, our goal is to move that
forward fairly quickly,� McIntyre said. They estimate approximately 400 patients in the region would be considered complex care patients at any one time. Once a patient and his or her family accept enrollment into the Health Link, an in-home interview is done where their wishes are discussed and potential support organizations are identified. There are currently 15 health care organizations who have been working with McKenna for the last two years to launch this program. In January 2013 about 20 doctors from the region gathered to hear about Health Link and its intended benefits to their patients. That day about 60 per cent of them supported moving this program ahead. The Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital has been part of the collaboration to bring Health Link to the region from the start. Beverley McFarlane, president and CEO, is pleased to be part of a program that looks to improve the system of care for five per cent of the population’s most chronically ill residents. “We care for people as a community and as a continuum,� McFarlane said. The hospital doesn’t carry statistics on the number of complex care pa-
tients they see in a year, but expected the numbers would increase during flu season, etc. McFarlane applauded the RideauTay Health Link for embracing the true mission of Health Link, which is putting patients first and turning up the volume for their voices to be heard. “The Rideau-Tay Health Link, in my opinion, they are pretty far ahead in terms of a lot of Health Links in Ontario,� McFarlane added. “It’s the right people who got together early.� The Health Link model is currently being rolled out across the province, but is also seen in many countries around the world. The hope is to improve the quality of care for these complex patients, reduce the number of hospital visits and therefore save health care dollars in the long run. “This is to get in front of the crisis,� McKenna said. In addition to meeting these objectives, Health Links have been found to increase collaboration among health care professionals beyond one patient’s care and realize improved efficiencies through joint efforts and the removal of redundancies.

“Organizations are working together like never before,� McKenna said. One potential outcome could be improvements to the end-of-life care available locally. “We don’t have a good end-of-life care system,� McKenna said. By engaging with the patients and empowering them to direct their way through the health care system, it is hoped many things, including end-oflife care can be addressed. McIntyre explains a patient’s health care goal could be to die at home. If this is the
case then their co-ordinated care plan would work backwards and look at what supports need to be available (be it medication, palliative care services, telehealth appointments, etc.) to make this a reality. According to statistics from the South East LHIN, one per cent of Ontario’s population accounts for approximately 34 per cent of the province’s health care costs (or $15.2 billion). By 2030, the health care system is projected to be about 80 per cent of the provincial budget. R0013110584_0129

Local Lyme group stands by doctor guilty of misconduct Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
News – Lanark Fights Lyme (LFL) is standing by a doctor who has been found guilty of professional misconduct – and adding that she, like other doctors who don’t subscribe to conventional thinking on fighting Lyme disease, is being targeted by regulators. LFL hosted Dr. Jennifer Armstrong for a speech she gave last February at St. John Catholic High School in Perth, and, according to the group’s president, Myrna Lee, said that Armstrong is “absolutely” welcome back to speak in Lanark County. In its ruling, released on Dec. 15, 2014, the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons’ discipline committee “found that Dr. Armstrong committed an act of professional misconduct, in that she has failed to maintain the standard of practise of the profession with respect to one patient. Dr. Armstrong admitted to this allegation.” In its ruling, an unnamed 19-year-old woman first visited Dr. Armstrong in December of 2010. She did not have a family doctor at the time, but Armstrong was told by the patient’s mother that the woman, whom the college would only identify as “Patient A,” had made previous suicide attempts and been hospitalized. Patient A’s mother provided a summary of her daughter’s medical history,

including “a history of cognitive decline and seizures.” ‘A’ had been treated by an environmental medicine physician and “had improved considerably.” Patient A attended Armstrong’s office in Ottawa three times and on each occasion, the committee found that “Dr. Armstrong failed to perform any mental health assessments. Dr. Armstrong recommended a regime of IV vitamins which were administered between December 2010 and April 2011. Dr. Armstrong also treated Patient A with minerals and amino acids that lowered Patient A’s thyroid medication in response to tests.” In May of 2011, Armstrong heard that Patient A, whom she had last treated the month before, had killed herself. According to the ruling, the college received a report about Patient A’s death from the Office of the Chief Coroner in September of 2012. Shortly afterwards, the college commenced an investigation into Armstrong’s care of Patient A. “Dr. Armstrong took no steps to investigate or treat Patient A’s mental health issues,” wrote the college’s investigators. “Nor did she take any steps to assist Patient A in finding a primary care physician or other specialist. Dr. Armstrong did not refer Patient A to a psychiatrist, psychologist or other mental health professional.” The report also found that “there were no conventional treatments of-
fered or documented for her psychiatric symptoms.” It was also found that Armstrong’s decision to concentrate “on giving vitamins, minerals and amino acids” were “not the standard of care. Her focus regarding this patient was on chemical sensitivies and metal toxicities.” The discipline committee ruled that not only would Armstrong have to pay the college “costs in the amount of $4,460,” but that she would have to “engage in clinical supervision and a reassessment of her practice in accordance with the terms of her undertaking.” She was also directed to “require that all of her current patients have a family physician or certified specialist who will provide concurrent care,” with whom she could communicate. Her current patients have been given until Jan. 31 to find family doctors or she will have to cease treating them. She will also not be allowed to take on any new patients who do not have family doctors. She also must post, in all of her examination rooms, and her waiting room, a notice telling patients that they must have a family doctor in order for her to treat them. Lee’s daughter is a patient of Armstrong’s and confirmed to this newspaper that, during a visit to Armstrong’s Nepean office this month, that the signs ordered by the college were indeed up.

Skate the Lake carves up the Big Rideau for another year he remarked. “We have an ideal day and it’s loads of fun,” Bongers added. The ice was in near-perfect condition as well, thanks in part to a mild spell a few days before the event. “Again this year we have amazing ice,” Bongers said. “The warmer weather last Sunday smoothed everything out for us.” Bongers was even more excited by the increasingly popularity in the sporting event. “...Our online registration showed that 40 per cent of the people registering have never attended it, so that’s great,” he stated.

Community – Hundreds of metal blades heated up the ice on Big Rideau Lake in Portland Saturday, Jan. 24 for the 11th edition of Skate the Lake. Despite strong winds, the mild weather provided perfect conditions for the international speed skating marathon around a one-kilometre oval, presented by Portland Outdoors. After Portland Outdoors president John Bongers officially cut the ice during the opening ceremonies, Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark shot the pistol to kick off the first event of the day, the 5K race. It was followed by 10K, 25K and 50K distances. Skate the Lake veteran Jake Maarse was a force again this year, claiming top spot in the 10K with a time of 24:04.864 and second in both the 5K and 25K. First in the 5K went to Paul McCloskey (11:40.616); Adrian Loewen earned gold in the 25K with a time of 55:02.366; and first in the 50K was Sergio Almeralla (1:54:48.956). Bongers also raced in the 50K, completing 50 laps around the oval in 2:24:37.461. As he made the rounds Saturday morning chatting with visitors, Bongers said the event was a well-oiled machine, thanks to a large host of volunteers. “Our volunteers have done an amazing job. I can’t believe how good things are going,”

I grew up on a purebred dairy farm just south east of North Gower in the small village of Carsonby. I grew up with good values and was involved with showing cattle at all the local fairs and Toronto as well. In 1979 I got into the trucking industry and that career took me to some beautiful places and I made a great deal of friends over the years.In the summer of 2000 I had a career change that was brand new to me, I entered the car business. For just shy of 15 years I worked for another GM dealer selling new and used vehicles to many many people over the years. As the 2014 year was winding down my thoughts were to try something different. Well before I could even put on my thinking cap on the team at Myers Kemptville NEIL WILLIAMS and I sat down and now here I am. The idea of a small town that is growing at a steady rate and people that really like to be as helpful as they can be and the polite atmosphere that comes from a smaller store really appeals to me and my family. I look forward to working with many of you.

Olympic visit Speed skating wasn’t the only item on the menu at Skate the Lake, however. Visitors could enjoy a bowl of “snert” (a traditional Dutch pea soup) and a Skate Tail (Portland’s take on the Beaver Tail), play a game of shinny on the ice hockey rink, get some skating in or try their hand at curling. And who better to give some pointers than renowned Ottawa curler Rachel Homan, who, along with fellow Olympian Derek O’Farrell, made an appearance during the day. It was some welcome down time for Homan, whose team
won the Scotties Tournament of Hearts championship in 2014 and is set to defend the title at this year’s event, beginning Feb. 14 in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. Her rink is currently the number three women’s curling team in the world. “It’s my first year here,” Homan said, adding she was going to try to take a spin around the ice, but wasn’t sure if her skates were up to snuff. “It’s amazing ice; it looks perfect.” Perhaps the ice on the Big Rideau didn’t agree with Homan as earlier in the morning, she and O’Farrell faced off against one another on the curling rink, with O’Farrell emerging as the victor. “The fact that they have a curling rink here is pretty cool too,” Homan said. “Except that you’re 0-1 today,” O’Farrell laughed. This was O’Farrell’s second visit to Skate the Lake, having attended last year during chillier conditions. “I’m just happy it’s not -10 million degrees!” he joked. The accomplished rower retired from a seven-year career on the Canadian National Rowing Team, which was highlighted

she said. Her daughter suffered from severe anxiety, stress and sleeplessness. She was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and was put on anti-depressants that, she said, put her into the hospital. However, once her physical symptoms were treated, “within a month of treatment, it disappeared. Without treatment for the physical ailments, the mental health issues would have increased.” She noted that she is not surprised that Armstrong was called before the college’s discipline committee. “Any doctor who treats Lyme disease goes under investigation for one reason or another,” Lee charged, adding further that once Armstrong started treating Lyme disease that “is when she started to have legal problems… She’s
From page 4
Alicia Lee had recently parted ways with her own family doctor and Armstrong told her that, to continue seeing her, she needed to get a new family doctor before the end of the month. “She has been telling all of her patients that, and the signs are up,” Lee said. “We don’t feel that this particular (Patient A) case… really impacts on her treatment of Lyme disease.” Lee said she feels that Lyme disease often comes with a mental health aspect, in which she sees parallels with the Patient A case. “Doctors want to treat that mental health issue (in a Lyme case) and they often neglect the physical ailments,”
2014 in The Perth Courier, Tom Bowes introduced Armstrong to the crowd gathered at St. John Catholic High School in Perth on Feb. 19, 2014, for her speech, entitled “Testing, Diagnosing and Treating Lyme: It’s Complicated.” Bowes extolled the virtues of Armstrong’s work in treating him. “She researches everything before she puts you on anything,” Bowes said. In explaining how she practices environmental medicine, Armstrong, said that “we look at the root causes of illness, all of the things that can make people sick.” She added, “By treating underlying causes of illness… patients would usually get way better.” There does not appear to be any bio-
not the first one that this (has) happened to. That sounds paranoid. But we’re finding that.” In her research, she has seen several doctors across the country who have either retired, had their license suspended, or simply stopped taking Lyme cases, because of their challenge to Lyme disease orthodoxy. “It’s never, ‘You have to stop treating Lyme disease.’ (It’s) you have to stop prescribing long-term antibiotics,” said Lee. “(But) I’m more interested in moving forward, more than looking into these conspiracies.” Besides, “I don’t have any evidence. It’s all anecdotal… It’s unfortunate that she had to be distracted by that (case).” In an article published on Feb. 27,
graphical information for Armstrong on her clinic’s website (though there is still a picture of her), the Ottawa Environmental Health Clinic, but a biographical sketch posted on the web site of the Ottawa-based Canadian Institute of Child Health, posted in 2007, said that she was, at the time, president of the Canadian Society for Environmental Medicine (CSEM) and sat on the board of directors of the American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM), based in Wichita, Kansas. There does not appear to be a web site for the CSEM but contact details found online list the address as being the same as Armstrong’s clinic. Armstrong is not listed as a 2014-15 member of the AAEM’s board of directors.

Smiths Falls takes trophy in kettle campaign challenge Monday and Friday, luncheons will be scaled back to the first Monday of the month and every Friday in Smiths Falls starting this February. In order to balance the books last year, programming in Perth was cut, staff laid off and facilities combined. Today, the Perth thrift store can be found at 95 Wilson Street West beside the tracks and across from Foodsmiths. “The stores are the only other real fundraiser we have to keep the social work going,” Major Cameron said. A new fundraiser is planning to be introduced this coming year, but details will be made available at a later date. Currently, Major Cameron and one other staff member carry the Salvation Army social services caseload. The organization is working to not only provide immediate support, but to address the issues that cause these situations. Coming up this year, the Salvation Army will be partnering with United Way of Lanark County to offer Low Energy Assistance Program (LEAP) and after hours emergency housing.

News – Smiths Falls council is ringing the bell in celebration after earning the Christmas Bell Ringer Trophy. The annual friendly competition pits the council members of Smiths Falls ($1,787.69), Beckwith ($672.55), Perth ($561.42), Merrickville ($492.72), Mississippi Mills ($959.23) and Carleton Place ($1,113.68) against each other to see who raises the most in one day for the non-profit organization. Accumulatively, the area politicians raised $5,587.29 this year of which $1,787.69 came from Smiths Falls. Last year, Beckwith won the trophy. Coun. Jay Brennan of Smiths Falls remarked “how giving people seemed to be that day. It’s a competition, but the real winner is the Salvation Army.” Merrickville was given a special mention as their volunteers worked outdoors in three shifts that day to raise their funds. Everyone who took part in the unique fundraiser enjoyed his or her time Dec. 13, including Carleton Place mayor Louis Antonakos. “It really was a lot of fun,” Antonakos added. “Next year is this council and we’re going to win.” Carleton Place OPP took home the emergency services award for the third straight year in a row. Last December their volunteers, which included auxiliary officers and community services officer, Sean Trahan, raised $2,801.42. “There were some really generous people that day,” Sgt. Rob Croth of the Carleton Place OPP added. “We’ll definitely be back next year to help out.” Other emergency services donations include: Perth OPP (1,304.81), Smiths Falls OPP ($635.16) and Smiths Falls Police Services ($304.35). Sgt. Croth acknowledged Const. Dave Bird of Perth OPP who initially got the Carleton Place detachment involved in the fundraising initiative. “Dave recognized that the Salvation Army were short on volunteers,” Sgt. Croth said. The kettle campaign is the largest fundraiser of the year for the Salvation Army and assists them in offering a number of programs to the region, including crisis assistance, a food pantry, community luncheons, and access to camp for children. While a national organization, each Salvation Army site is responsible for raising its own operational funds and receives no outside donations from other organizations. This

Butting out for good
ditorial – Quitting smoking can be one of the hardest things we face, but lucky for Lanark County and Leeds-Grenville residents, help is here. The province of Ontario recently announced a new initiative, MyQuit.ca, designed to personalize the process of quitting smoking for people. Recognizing that every smoker’s journey is different and a one-size-fits-all approach may not work for all, MyQuit.ca was developed by former smokers and healthcare professionals involving eight health partners from across eastern Ontario. Locally, the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit is rolling out the program. The process seems quite user-friendly, with smokers able to access information and services through a website or just by making a phone call. Telephone coaching, online support and one-on-one, as well as group sessions can also aid in the journey towards butting out that bad habit. Best of all, it’s free, so there’s no ex-
cuse for putting off that new year’s resolution for another year. With a variety of options, you can create a quit smoking plan that works for you. According to the Ontario Lung Association, one in five Ontarians still smokes and tobacco is the cause of 13,000 premature deaths across the province each year. George Habib, president and chief executive officer of the association says that “it remains Canada’s leading cause of preventable illness and death.” Over the years, the Smoke-Free Ontario Act has been put in place with legislation that no longer allows smokers to light up in public places. As of Jan. 1 of this year, another regulation is being enforced restricting smoking on children’s playgrounds or publicly-owned sports fields, as well as bars and restaurant patios. Tobacco sales are also prohibited on university and college campuses. The province has taken a strong stand, showing that it’s no longer a smoker’s world. However, habits are hard to break, but they bend a little easier with support.

good humour, excused Emerson and Cecil long before recess so they could go out and stamp out the wheel in the new snow. They came in just as the rest of the pupils were told they could get on their winter garb and go outside. Our recess back then was only 15 minutes long, but that was time enough for all of us to have a quick run around the wheel, with the promise from Cecil that we would get down to a more serious game when it came lunch time. All the while he kept warning us not to put a foot off the path leading to the wheel, or to step off the wheel or spokes or we would have him to deal with. It was hard to concentrate on our schoolwork for the rest of the morning. But a few cracks of the yard stick across her desk by

because we couldn’t wait to get outside to the wheel in the snow. Cecil and Emerson were the first to head out the door, and the roars we heard from outside could be witnessed over in Admaston!

He had followed the scent of his owner round and round, and he came to rest on the hub, and you couldn’t tell where the spokes ended and the rim began. The snow game had been ruined. It wasn’t unusual for Cecil’s old Collie to appear at the Northcote School. Often we would come out of the school, and see him sitting on the step waiting for Cecil. As far as Cecil was concerned Sport (it seemed to me back then that everyone had a dog called Sport) could do no wrong. Well, that day Sport’s owner was not at all pleased! “Git,” Cecil yelled. “Git home with you.” Well, it seemed Sport knew an order from his owner when he heard it. But instead of going out to the gate by the path, he took another cut around the yard, with his belly close to the ground, and whatever was left

of the big wheel in the snow was gone forever. Cecil and my brother Emerson went and hung from the gate, which had been opened, and it would stay that way for the rest of the winter. I wasn’t too disappointed in the turn of events, because I couldn’t run fast enough through the deep snow to avoid being caught, and all the time we played the game, I never once was the chaser in snow tag. It remained clear and cold for days, and the mutilated wheel did little to make Cecil or Emerson any more easy to get along with. They mostly hung out at the gate at recess and lunch time, and days later Velma said she knew for a fact Sport was kept in the cow byre, as the two boys waited patiently for another heavy snowfall.

Community – Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County (BBBSLC) is excited to once again be partnering with the local Tim Hortons restaurants for the Tim Hortons Bowl for Kids Sake event on Feb. 21. Last year this event raised more than $80,000, with more than 700 bowlers coming out to support the event. Smiths Falls Tim Hortons’ owner, Tanya Bond and her team enjoy lacing up their shoes and bowling for this fun event. Tim Hortons has been a great title sponsor for BBBSLC as well as many other Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies in eastern Ontario. Tim Hortons not only financially supports Big Brothers Big Sisters in the Tim Hortons Bowl for Kids Sake event, they also promote the event, collect pledges, provide prizes and complimentary drink coupons, and bowl during the event. According to Dave and Lisa Peters, Carleton Place Tim Horton owners, “Our employees are very excited about Tim Hortons Bowl for Kids Sake. They enjoy raising funds and bowling as a team; knowing they are improving the lives of local children.” Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County is a not for profit volunteer driven organization which helps children develop to their unique potential through consistent, dependable and unconditional adult friendship. “We really appreciate Tim Hortons being our title sponsor for this cornerstone event that accounts for a large portion of our annual budget,” said Beth Sinclair, resource development manager of BBBSLC. With the help of Tim Hortons’ title sponsorship, more mentoring programs are able to be funded. We are proud to be the title sponsor of the Tim Hortons Bowl for Kids Sake event because we know that the funds donated and raised provide more children with mentors, according to Liz Wood, Smiths Falls Tim Horton’s manager.

The pair’s visit was made possible through the RBC Olympians program. “They (RBC) are a sponsor of the event and brought us in to try to reach out to kids in the community,” O’Farrell said. Following the individual competitive races, a 5 X 1K relay race was held with “The Snurf Chasers” of Syracuse, New York (captained by Isabel Crovella) taking first place. Second went to “Cat in the Hat” of Ottawa, with Pegi CrawfordNewlands as captain; and third place was a tie between “Harmony Landing” (local captain Eric Steigerwauld) and “Chairman of the Board”, captained by Rebecca Chant, who got some help from O’Farrell. As the competitive races concluded by early afternoon, visitors could also take a sleigh ride, take part in the Special Olympics skate, sponsored by RBC or try out the Kids 5K race for those under 12. In the boys category, first went to Lucius Peladeau, second to Josh Mohns and Aden Dube was third. Representing the girls, Sarah Corvella earned first place, followed by Isobel Corvella in second and Hannah Mohns in third. After a full day spent on the ice, music and a laser light show by DJ Johnny 5 kept the party going into the evening, which was capped off with a fireworks display.

Reflections JEFF MAGUIRE
Campus. The appointment was at 8:15 on a Monday morning. I knew the traffic on the drive in to the city would be bedlam. I’m of Irish descent and therefore I’m a great believer in Murphy’s Law. “Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.” So after a good weather weekend – cold but no precipitation – flurries fell overnight Sunday and continued into the early morning hours of Monday. Coupled with a stiff breeze from the north, I knew when I stepped out the door that this wasn’t going to be a pleasant drive. My ABS brakes confirmed that at the first intersection. It was really greasy! Fortunately I had thought to top up my windshield wiper fluid reservoir. That turned out to be a very good move. Endless tail lights Highway 7 becomes four lanes at McNeely Ave. in Carleton Place. It was 6:30 a.m. when I set off and in the winter morning darkness the picture which greeted me was truly amazing. Ahead stretched an endless string of red tail lights, as far as the eye could see. Considering that some 70 per cent of the workforce from Carleton Place toils in Ottawa and its expansive suburbs, I shouldn’t have been surprised. Fortunately the traffic was moving although with flurries flying and the wind whipping the dry snow across the eastwest artery the speed was averaging 70 kilometres per hour (kph) rather than the usual 100-plus on the busy road. Anyone who knows Ottawa knows the Riverside Hospital isn’t easy to access. The facility is located on Riverside Drive, east of Bank St. in one of the busiest sections of the nation’s capital. So, which route to take? My decision was made for me when, nearing the Stittsville turn-off the traffic slowed considerably approaching the Highway 417 interchange. I was driving bumper to bumper. I knew I didn’t have time to sit in the traffic jam on the Queensway, as locals call the main highway that bisects
Ottawa. I decided to take Hazeldean Road, Robertson Road and then Baseline Road. Baseline eventually links with Riverside Drive on which the hospital is located. Once I was off Highway 7 there was less traffic but the going was more treacherous. The higher the traffic volume during a snow storm, the more white stuff is blown off the road surface. Traffic lights were the big problem and as I watched the minutes melt from the dashboard clock I wondered if I would make it on time? It was already 7 a.m. as I made my way past Stittsville and toward Hazeldean. The road was slippery and some of the commuter jockeys weren’t using their heads which made it even more dangerous. Speeding, lane hopping (without using indicators) and tailgating are an epidemic on our roads. Combine bad driving with poor weather and the risk of collision climbs exponentially. Leaving Bells Corners and approaching Baseline Road, I encountered a sudden obstacle. A car stopped at a green light, not moving. I wondered if the vehicle had stalled? “Just my luck. He’s broken down in my lane,” I thought. But the tail lights were on so I hit the horn. The male driver was startled into action and moved off, although ridiculously slowly. He too proceeded onto Baseline. At the next light the same thing happened. “A distracted driver,” I said to myself. To my consternation the motorist continued his herkyjerky course ahead of me. Finally I saw an opening and moved to the left, driving past him. The man was so busy texting that he didn’t even see the raised finger that passed on his left. Unbelievable! Considering all the traffic signals on Baseline and the speed of the tightly packed vehicles, I wasn’t making much progress. Time was flying past. “Imagine having to fight this traffic every morning,” I said out loud. I said some other things too
Final push By 7:55 I finally saw the Baseline-Riverside intersection ahead. But there was no advantage to be gained as the seemingly endless stream of vehicles moved doggedly toward downtown Ottawa. I had also forgotten that on Baseline Road you have to pass Riverside Drive and move to the right to reach an access ramp. It was interesting but with the help of a couple of nice drivers, who slowed to give me space, I was able to complete the manoeuvre. I managed to negotiate the busy intersection of Riverside and Bank and thanks to a userfriendly parking situation at the hospital I arrived in the nick of time. I told my wife that by doing the 100-metre dash from the elevator to the clinic I arrived at the reception desk at 8:14 – one minute early. The young lady who performed a vision test and put drops in my eyes told me she drives to Riverside Hospital every day from the Renfrew area. On this particular morning, in the bad weather, it took her three hours to complete the excursion. I told her she must really love her job to “take that much punishment.” She smiled and nodded in the affirmative. The good news is that after a thorough examination by the specialist and his staff there was no tear discovered in the deep recesses of my left eye. The doctor told me the flashing lights I have been experiencing on and off for quite some time should eventually dissipate. It also appears I won’t have to make that early morning odyssey again anytime soon. I would not want to commute to and from Ottawa, or any other big city, on a daily basis. I don’t know how the regulars do it? I guess you can get used to anything. But it’s definitely not for me. I have always loved working in Carleton Place where the “daily commute” is measured in minutes, not hours. These days I work from my home office and I couldn’t be happier with the arrangement. When snowstorms are raging and the freezing rain is slashing down I can look out the window and thumb my nose. Nowhere to go and all day to get there! It suits me just fine.

Lifestyle – It is just before 7 in the morning and I am on my way to an important eye appointment in Ottawa. I’m heading east on Highway 7 and it is snowing and blowing to beat the band. I’m listening to Mark Sutcliffe and his morning co-host Shelley McLean, on CFRA radio, in hopes of getting a traffic update. Mark: “Now here’s Shelley with the latest traffic update.” Shelley: “Thanks Mark. There are a few trouble spots on the roads this morning with flurries still flying. There’s a car in the median on Highway 416 just north of Kemptville. A vehicle has struck the curb on Woodroffe Avenue near Carling and police are dealing with a fender bender on the Parkway, eastbound near Island Park Drive. “All routes are slower than usual this morning due to snow and blowing snow. On the 417 east, traffic is crawling from the split westbound. In the west it’s stop and go from Carp Road, eastbound all the way to Bayshore.” So, not exactly a great report. I’m a regular user of Highway 7, driving to and from our home in Carleton Place to Stittsville and Kanata to visit family or do business. There is no question the four-lane Highway 7 is a huge advantage. Unless you are travelling at rush hour that is. I don’t drive to or from Ottawa during rush hour unless I absolutely have to. This was one of those rare occasions. Regular commuters will tell you the relatively recent widening of Highway 7 is of limited use at rush hour. “It gets you to the jam earlier,” they say wryly. “The jam” is the daily stop and go traffic on busy Highway 417 as the commuter army from the west descends on Kanata and downtown Ottawa. The same situation is repeated late in the day when the homeward march is in full swing. I’m rarely on Highway 416, which connects Ottawa with communities to the south including fast growing Kemptville and Prescott. However, from all accounts it is a little more user friendly. Until it connects with Highway 417, that is! On this occasion I had no choice but to join the masses and try to make my way. There was concern that I might have a small tear inside my left eye, so I was quickly referred by my local optometrist to a specialist at the Ottawa Hospital, Riverside

Maude Barlow addresses future of freshwater at gala in Perth News – Renowned author and citizens’ advocate Maude Barlow delivered an inspiring message about freshwater resources at the inaugural Watersheds Gala on Thursday, Jan. 22 in Perth. “’Anything else you are interested in is not going to happen if you can’t breathe the air and drink the water,’” she said, quoting Carl Sagan. “’Don’t sit this one out. Do something. You are by accident of fate alive at an absolutely critical moment in the history of our planet.’” “The Future of Our Freshwater” event was a fundraiser for Watersheds Canada, known as the Centre for Sustainable Watersheds since 2002. Almost 200 people were on hand at Code’s Mill on the Park for the unveiling of CSW’s new brand identity as Watersheds Canada, along with news of an agreement penned with the Canadian Wildlife Federation to package one of its key programs, Love Your Lake, on a national platform. Executive director Barbara King indicated the new identity will help support the organization’s growth and future success as a registered Canadian charity. “We chose to take this opportunity to rebrand our organization to better represent our national scope of protecting and restoring our freshwater environments,” she said. Love Your Lake is a shoreline assessment and stewardship program that gives landowners resources to help improve the health of their shorelines and lakes. Another Watersheds Canada program is The Natural Edge, which is a shoreline naturalization program for waterfront property owners to help them restore shorelines with native foliage along the water’s edge. As part of her keynote address at the gala, Barlow, who is the national chairperson of the Council of Canadians, author, co-founder of the Blue Water Project and Senior Advisor on Water to the President of the United Nations General Assembly, emphasized the global water crisis and water security are threats to the planet. “Close to a billion people in our world don’t have access to clean water,” she said. “It is the biggest killer

The Centre for Sustainable Watersheds, now known as Watersheds Canada, held its first Watersheds Gala on Jan. 22 at Code’s Mill on the Park in Perth. Above, almost 200 people were on hand for the unveiling of Watershed Canada’s new identity. Renowned author and citizens’ advocate Maude Barlow, right, was the keynote speaker, emphasizing the global water crisis and water security threats around the globe. of children…every 3.5 seconds a child dies from a water-borne illness.” She highlighted water supply as a global issue, citing the loss of half the rivers in China since the 1990s and the consequences of the loss of the Amazon rainforest in Brazil leading to a country in water crisis. She emphasized the importance of not treating water as a resource, but as a necessity that has to be nurtured. “We have no national drinking water standards, which is a particular issue in First Nation communities, and we have no national standards on sew-
age disposal. The federal government has taken steps to remove some of the laws we do have,” Barlow stated. She noted Ontario has already lost 72 per cent of its watersheds and called for the “critical” need for a crackdown on water-taking permits, the development of water budgets and restrictions on what kinds of materials and chemicals are transported on the Great Lakes. “There could not be a more important time for you to support Watersheds Canada,” she said. “I pledge my support…I urge you to support this
wonderful group.” Barlow urged the creation of citizen-based water watchers and called for “a new water ethic that considers the impact on water whenever developing policies…We have to change our relationship with water quickly.” Barlow left the audience considering four things people can do to protect water. First is to “conserve, protect and restore watersheds” by not moving water, not dumping waste into it and by providing a long-term assessment of watersheds. “When we give nature a chance, it
comes back,” she said. “If you know you have limited resources, come together and set limits.” Secondly, she urged the enforcement of existing water protection laws and to re-instate the ones that have been lost. This includes creating national standards for drinking water and sewage, as well as conducting groundwater mapping. Thirdly, with industrial farming and food production using massive amounts of water, she condoned growing “our food in a more local and sustainable way” as well as examining trade agreements for the movement of water in products that are traded. Finally, she urged people to recognize that water has rights, too. “Water belongs to the earth, other species and the future…Current laws see nature as property. Nature needs to be at the heart of our laws.” The master of ceremonies for the event was Michael Runtz, a leading Canadian professor, naturalist, nature photographer and natural history author. He expressed his love for water because it supports the things he loves most in his way of life. “Water supports nature. Water is an amazing part of our environment, and by being here we are helping to support it,” he noted. The gala was supported by sponsors Freshwater Future, Leo Adams Investments, McIntosh Perry, MEC, the Sharbot Group Inc. and TD Canada Trust, as well as dozens of contributors for silent auction items.

Full Circle Theatre turns up the heat with August: Osage County play this February ing comparison – and for very exciting theatre. The Full Circle Theatre (FCT) has been full to the brim lately with a string of sold-out or nearly sold-out concerts and movie events. Film Night International, with a near record turnout for their winter series opener last week, will return Feb. 4 with the American film Love Is Strange, starring Alfred Molina and John Lithgow, while music returns to FCT on Feb. 25 when Charles MacPhail presents Dave Gunning in concert. Sliding in between, though, August: Osage County is bleeding-edge theatre that pulls no punches. Audiences should know that it contains STRONG language, but, at the same time, makes you laugh at it anyway. Don’t shy away from what may seem like a dark show – this is theatre you will be glad you have seen. All the information about tickets and times for all events at Full Circle Theatre is at www.barndoorproductions.ca or you can call 613-267-1884.

Arts – It’s -22 degrees as we write this, but February promises to be blistering hot at Full Circle Theatre when Tracy Letts’ astonishing dark comedy, August: Osage County, becomes BarnDoor Productions’ 99th show. Letts’ play won nearly every award there was to be won for its premiere in 2008: the Tony Award for Best Play, the Drama Desk Award, the New York Critics’ Circle Award, the Theatre World Award – and the Pulitzer Prize for drama. For a comedy to be awarded the Pulitzer Prize is nearly unheard of, but it was felt that the show had the depth required to be considered for the most prestigious American literary award there is. Don’t let the recent, star-studded movie version of the show influence you. The movie lost track of where it was going, but the play is very much a comedy, although a dark and a razor sharp one. You will laugh and chuckle and then say, “Oh, should I have done that?” That is what makes the show so remarkable: it presents situations that make people laugh out loud, and then asks them to wonder why they did. The New York Times called it “Gripping and ferociously funny” and it is. With a cast of 13, BarnDoor Productions (BDP) has had to stretch its resources, but found a strong group of players, both familiar faces and newcomers to BDP, who are tackling the intricate dialogue and action of the show. The show is set in modern-day Oklahoma – Osage County, Oklahoma, in fact – but it tells a family story that has roots deep in the Dust Bowl of the Depression – while being as up-to-date as a cell phone. The show was deliberately chosen to be a companion piece to BarnDoor Productions’ season-closer. Ending their 20th anniversary season with their 100th production, BDP have chosen Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman. August: Osage County and Death of a Salesman are two Pulitzer Prize winning takes on the American Dream, separated by 60 years and half a continent. The similarities and differences between these two much-honoured plays make for interest-

Depp’s latest film jaw-droppingly funny Trivia challenge attracting new teams MOVIE: Mortdecai STARRING: Johnny Depp, Gwyneth Paltrow, Paul Bettany, Ewan McGregor and Olivia Munn DIRECTOR: David Koepp RATING: 14A Entertainment – There are times when you go to the movies because you want to be moved. There are times when you want to be challenged. There are times when you want to think. Then there are the times when you go to see a film like Mortdecai. When an art restorer is murdered and a famous painting is stolen there’s only one man British MI5 agent Martland (Ewan McGregor) can turn to. That man is Lord Charlie Mortdecai (Johnny Depp). He is in fact the last man Martland wants to turn to, but no one knows the seedy underbelly of the art world better than Mortdecai. Mortdecai is reluctant to help. Martland appeals to him as a loyal British subject, and when that doesn’t work he points out that Mortdecai and his wife Johanna (Gwyneth Paltrow) owe the British government $8 million in back taxes. Mortdecai then agrees
My Take
Mark haskins
to find the painting, for a modest finder’s fee of course. Along with his trusty man servant and personal thug Jock (Paul Bettany) Mortdecai embarks to find the missing piece of art. A piece of art that Mortdecai soon learns is the key to uncovering secret bank accounts filled with Nazi gold. Mortdecai is shot at by a terrorist, chased down by Russians, and forced to endure the horrors of sunny California. It’s almost more than his man servant can handle. Mortdecai is silly bordering on the absurd. It’s also hysterical bordering on genius. I haven’t seen anything quite like it since the Pink Panther (the original not the re-make with Steve Martin). It starts off innocently enough. You figure Mortdecai is a kind of buffoon who stumbles and bumbles around and thus the comedy. Then it sneaks up on you. It shocks you
and you’re almost stunned by its audacity and its outrageousness. Sure the film is silly, but it revels in the fact. It owns it, and elevates silly to the level of art. I’ve had some favourite casts over the years – Ocean’s 11, The Lord of The Rings and Harry Potter just to name a few. The cast of Mortdecai ranks right up there. They’re funny and talented, but that isn’t it. It’s the way they click. It’s the way they play off each other. They are so quick and so clever it makes you dizzy trying to keep up. Ewan McGregor brilliantly and hilariously plays the love sick British agent. Olivia Munn is a great femme fatal. Gwyneth Paltrow plays Johanna with a wit and intelligence that’s almost evil it’s so good. Johnny Depp is like some kind of savant. His ability to create, and then dive into these wild characters is mind blowing. Paul Bettany is without a doubt my hero. Jock is hysterical, and Bettany steals the show. Mortdecai is the kind of film that drops your jaw it’s so funny. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

Community – It’s not too late to enter a team into the Friends of the Library’s 18th annual Trivia Challenge. The fun fundraiser, which takes place in the Lancaster Room (main floor) at the Smiths Falls Legion, 7 Main Street, on Sunday, Feb. 8, has pulled in new teams this year. And the return of several former winners assures the competition will be intense. But openings are still available. Why not add to the fun? Last year, everyone scored well with the top teams separated by only five points. “Trivial Recruits” (The Smiths Falls and District Hospital Team) emerged as first time winners. They won over “Absent Minds,” a team entered by Jim and Agnes McVeety, that had won in 2013. Now, Friends chair Tom Foulkes indicates that at least three new entries are on the books: the Rotary Club is back in after a few years’ absence, joined by the

Railway Museum and Chimo School. “The Perthites” – winners three years ago – have also returned. Maybe they’ve heard that organizers are going to repeat some of the same question categories, namely Popular Culture, History and Geography, and Potpourri, but are going to add two new ones – Rules and Special Occasions. Will the new Trivia Challenge categories shift the balance of power? The challenge starts at 1:30 p.m. sharp. Each team may have up to 10 players; the entry fee is $125 per team. Prizes for the winning team. All proceeds raised go towards children’s programs, equipment and materials for the library. The Friends of the Library hope for a good turnout of funloving teams, all contributing to a very good cause. The bar will be open. Interested in participating? Contact the library at 613-
283-2911 or Tom Foulkes at 613-283-2706. Stories from the Railway Feb. 7 And please note another event one day prior to the Trivia Challenge: the Friends of the Library are collaborating with the Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario in presenting “The Hobo Life”, Stories from the Railway. Guest speakers are John Mulkerns, member of the National Association of Hobos and Terrence West, author of Not in My Father’s Footsteps. The event takes place on Saturday, Feb. 7 at The Ivy on William, 42 William St. W., Smiths Falls, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Tickets $10/person can be pre-ordered online at www.rmeo.org or by calling the museum at 613-2835696.

He was a cute boy for a while with his naked body and some long hair left around his face. Meanwhile his fur has grown back. It’s shiny, slick and beautiful. It’s time for this handsome young man to find his forever home. He’s five and a half-yearsold and gets along with some ter after some time being outdoors. He did not do well living the feral life. He arrived lethargic, in poor weight, had a poor coat and was in need of antibiotics to treat exposures. Joe Joe has come a long way in a short period of time. He’s very handsome, regained his health, is playful and affectionate. Despite his small quarters he still manages to do somersaults when people arrive.

Pakenham Frost Festival concludes this weekend Community – “A great show”, “great music”, “so much talent”, “large attendance”, “tons of food” were just a few comments buzzing around the village of Pakenham after the first weekend of Pakenham Frost Festival activities Jan. 24 and 25. Dave Kalil, Jenny Watters and Company and The Blair’s displayed incredible talent at several events. The word is out and the final weekend of the Pakenham Frost Festival is well on its way. A second round of euchre will be held on Thursday, Jan. 29 for a 7 p.m. start at Love that Barr at $5 per person. This time it’ll be 4-hand and everyone is welcome. Friday, Jan. 30 Friday night will break all the records for exciting activities in Pakenham. The All-you-can-eat Fish ‘n Chips dinner will start the evening at 4:30 p.m. in the upper hall at the Stewart Community Centre; $15 for adults and $10 for children 12 years and younger. A Pop-Up Museum, also in the hall, will feature a peek at Pakenham’s past. Amazing collections of early area maps, newspapers, photographs, scrapbooks and W.I. Tweedsmuir Histories will be on display. Many of the local churches and businesses as well as individuals will proudly display their treasures. Spe-
cial emphasis will be memorabilia from both World Wars belonging to local families. Come out and see if you’re featured in someone else’s collections. You’re also invited to join the Ryan family from the 12th Concession as they watch their father, John Ryan being honoured for his contributions to the community over many years. At 8:00 p.m. at centre ice, an appreciation ceremony will take place while the Cedar Hill Sunday School Choir will lead us in singing O Canada. The Jr B hockey game between Almonte Thunder and the Arnprior Packers immediately follows. Saturday, Jan. 31 The Cedar Hill gang will gather again to get the hot chocolate ready on Saturday at noon at the Pakenham Highlands Golf course for some great tobogganing. Bring your own sled and come hang out with your friends. The fishing derby will have started long before noon, but be sure to register at the Feed and Seed and bring your fish back to be weighed at 3 p.m. sharp to be eligible for prizes. We’ll finish the long festivities off with the Frost Festival Pub Night, this year featuring Jen Grant from Yuk Yuks followed by the Ryans with some great dance music. A nominee for Best Female Comedian by the
Canadian Comedy Awards, Jen Grant has performed at all major festivals in Canada including the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal, as well as the Halifax, Vancouver, St. John’s, Newfoundland and Winnipeg comedy festivals (many of which have aired on TV). She can be heard on CBC Radio’s The Debaters, has taped her own half hour TV special on Comedy Now for CTV, was the first Canadian to reach the finals of the prestigious Boston Comedy Competition and had the honour of entertaining the Troops in the Middle East. Originally from Ottawa, Grant does a clean show and her ability to weave her hilarious jokes with funny audience interaction is extraordinary. If that isn’t enough in one evening, John O’Neill will host the raucously fun Bake Auction where Pakenham’s finest cakes and baked items will be on offer. The night will conclude with some fabulous dance music by The Ryans. There is something for everyone. Doors open at 8 p.m. in the Stewart Community Centre, upper hall. Costs for the event are $15/person or $25/ couple (not those listed on the poster) with pre-purchase at Nicholson’s. Doors close at 11 p.m., so come early for a seat.

1966 Chevelle Malibu SS with 73,000 miles was found in a barn Lifestyle – Richard Finn of Charing Cross, Ont., writes: “We found our 1966 Malibu SS hardtop in a barn at RR #3, Kerwood, Ontario, in the spring of 1994. It has the factory 327275 hp engine, 4-speed tranny, 308 Posi rear end, original interior, and GM build sheet. This Canadian-built car was built on April 11, 1966, in Oshawa and shipped to Wills Motors in Caledonia on the 12th of April. “When we found the car, it showed 73,000 miles and I had the motor rebuilt at 100,000 miles. Atchison of London bored the block 20 over and polished the crankshaft. Jim Spurgeon in Chatham did the camel back heads. Evelyn and I enjoy going to car shows and cruises. The car still has the original 4-wheel drum brakes with Corvette rally rims.” Richard and Evelyn’s 1966 Chevelle Malibu SS reflects the fierce competition among the Big Three in the 1960s. All three launched a compact car in 1960: Ford with the Falcon, GM with the rear-engine Corvair, and Chrysler with the Plymouth Valiant. Studebaker actually led the pack with the Lark in 1959. All these compact cars had wheelbases around 109 inches when the full-sized cars of each company averaged around 119 inches. In 1962, Ford and GM went after a new category of car called the midsize. Lots of people wanted something smaller than full-size but not so small
as a compact. Ford brought out the Fairlane at 115 inches (six inches more than the Falcon) and GM brought out the Chevy II at 110 inches (only two more inches than the Corvair but with a conventional front-mounted engine and rear wheel drive). By 1964, GM decided that the Chevy II was not quite big enough to fully satisfy the demands of the midsize market and brought out the Chevelle with a wheelbase of 115 inches. The Chevelle 300 was moderately priced for the budget-conscious buyer. The Chevelle Malibu was fancier and included a hardtop and convertible. Fancier still was the Chevelle Malibu SS. These three levels were instant hits and sold well. By 1966, the Malibu SS continued its popularity with 72,300 built. As before, it was available with a six cylinder or a 283 V8 as standard equipment. Whoever bought the ’66 Chevelle Malibu SS brand new and owned today by Richard and Evelyn Finn of Charing Cross, Ontario, opted for the more powerful 327 cubic inch small block Chevy engine. A Chevelle 396 V8 was also available, but rear tires wore out very quickly on those models.

Trudeau’s ‘mullet’ London visit: business at the front, party at the back Desmond Peter Devoy
Opinion – (Editor’s note: Though he arrived in Canada in 1970 as an immigrant from Ireland, our occasional columnist, Desmond Peter Devoy, a London, Ont.-based freelance writer, only became a Canadian citizen in 2013 – missing out on voting in every federal election from 1972 to 2011. This year’s will be his first chance to vote in a national election. So, we decided to send him out into the election fray, as the parties gear up for the campaign, to get an up close look in preparation for his first vote. First up, the Liberals.) Justin Trudeau was in London, Ont., on Jan. 20, attending the federal Liberal Party’s winter caucus, and addressing the media. I attended the latter event at the Hilton Hotel at 12:30 p.m. The day started off well: I got a Doris Day parking spot, right out front. Free food was available, always a bonus for impoverished reporters. As usual, old media friends greeted each other and neophytes became acquainted. One freelance cameraman told me that he took any work that came his way: sometimes he filmed ‘How To’ videos, but today he had been hired by CTV; tomorrow, he could be working for the CBC. Pointing at his thinning hair, he laughed that he wore many hats, which is why he never wore any. We chatted about how portable electronic devices had greatly aided reporters in recent years, but he was taken aback by the multiple misspellings one finds in daily newspapers nowadays. “Are there no present-day proofreaders?” he lamented. In the scrum room, it was announced that a central microphone was to be used for all questions directed at Trudeau. As reporters are sometimes longwinded and relentless, that sane plan was abandoned for an in-
sane one: everyone just shouted out questions. It was most…unCanadian. Half of the reporters present didn’t even get to ask a question in the allotted 15 minutes. As he strode into the press room, there was no preliminary greeting, or warm-up from Trudeau. It was strictly a business-like exchange, between reporters wishing to elicit some substantial response to their probing questions, and a politician wishing to show his party’s platform in the best possible light. Trudeau wasn’t unfriendly, but a projection of his reputed charisma was not something that he was overly concerned with, in that setting, at that time. Trudeau was asked his opinion about the budget being postponed. He answered that the prime minister had put all his eggs in one basket, that oil prices would remain high, and that now he was reacting to the price drop, and flailing. The fact that he had cancelled an important summit with the US and Mexico, and inexplicably delayed the budget until sometime in April, demonstrated that he really had no Plan B, since oil prices and revenues had dropped. The Liberals have claimed that they have a better alternative to govern, but one reporter said that she doesn’t specifically know what Trudeau’s plan or platform is. The Liberal leader responded that he’d been particularly clear on one piece of it: the income-splitting plan, which gives $2 billion to the richest 15 per cent of Canadians, like “his family and mine.” If elected, Liberals would build support for the middle-class, providing an alternative based upon co-operation and collaboration, in a fiscally responsible way. Most of the questions, however, concerned the fight against global terrorism and Trudeau’s response to that threat. Trudeau stressed that the Liberal Party
will always support Canadian troops, and their right to defend themselves, when they find themselves in harm’s way. He had always stood with the international community, in the pushback against global terrorists, but his disagreements with the prime minister, over the best way to do that, were well known. Harper had “made some statements” about the nature of the mission on the ground in Iraq, “that turn out not to be entirely truthful.” Harper had established parameters for the mission, and these had been laid out, with great assurances, before the House of Commons. These parameters, Trudeau continued, had not been respected, and the prime minister owed it to Canadians to be forthright and honest; he hadn’t displayed openness and frankness, from the very beginning. Trudeaumania two? I went to the London Ukrainian Centre at 6 p.m. later that day, in order to observe the Liberal Party’s London rally, a lovein attended by about 300 of the party faithful from throughout the region. I anticipated seeing some elemental charisma displayed by the party leader, someone who has inspired confidence, and received admiration from ordinary people across the country, in spite of the fact that the NDP’s assertive Thomas Mulcair has more eloquence, and the Conservative’s stodgy Stephen Harper more experience. Despite such perceived advantages on the part of his rivals, Trudeau has surpassed Mulcair in popularity (except in Quebec) in many polls, and Trudeau’s Liberals have equalled or surpassed Harper’s Conservatives for the better part of a year, a fact which has baffled and enraged many Tory strategists. Attack ads by the Tories, which tried to insinuate that Trudeau was too young and unfocused to be prime minister, seem to have little effect – and may, in

What are the five signs of stroke?
Heart attack warning signs Thousands of Canadians die from heart attacks every year because they don’t receive medical treatment quickly enough. Learn to recognize the signs of a heart attack so you can react quickly to save a life It is important to understand that warning signs can vary from person to person and they may not always be sudden or severe. Although chest pain or discomfort is the most common symptom of a heart attack in both men and women, some people will not experience chest pain at all, while others will experience only mild chest pain or discomfort. Others may experience one symptom, while some experience a combination.
Stroke can be treated. That’s why it is so important to recognize and respond to the warning signs.
Weakness Sudden loss of strength or sudden numbness in the face, arm or leg, even if temporary.
Trouble speaking Sudden difficulty speaking or understanding or sudden confusion, even if temporary.
Vision problems Sudden trouble with vision, even if temporary.
Headache Sudden severe and unusual headache.
Dizziness Sudden loss of balance, especially with any of the above signs. If you experience any of these symptoms, call 9-1-1 or your local emergency number immediately. If a person is diagnosed with a stroke caused by a blood clot, doctors can administer a clot-busting drug available only at a hospital, and only within a few crucial hours after symptoms begin.* That’s why it is very important to be able to recognize the 5 warning signs of stroke and immediately call 9-1-1 or your local emergency number.

Shortness of breath
uncomfortable chest pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain, burning or heaviness
Sweating
Discomfort in other areas of the upper body
Nausea
neck, jaw, shoulder, arms, back
Light-headedness
If you are experiencing any of these signs, you should call 9-1-1 or your local emergency number immediately, or have someone call for you. Keep a list of emergency numbers near the phone at all times. Stop all activity and sit or lie down, in whatever position is most comfortable. If you take nitroglycerin, take your normal dosage. If you are experiencing chest pain, chew and swallow one adult 325 mg tablet or two 80 mg tablets of ASA (acetylsalicylic acid, commonly referred to as Aspirin®). Pain medicines such as acetaminophen (commonly known as Tylenol®) or ibuprofen (commonly known as Advil®) do not work the same way as ASA (Aspirin®) and therefore will not help in the emergency situation described above. Rest comfortably and wait for an ambulance with emergency medical personnel to arrive.

Liberal-red fez). I was gently and playfully upbraided for simply wearing basic black. However, as I hadn’t worn anything orange or blue, my unfortunate oversight was quickly forgiven. Many of Trudeau’s caucus were in attendance, including Ottawa South MP David McGuinty (Dalton’s brother.) We had both attended the Ontario Liberal Party’s leadership convention in 1996, at the old Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto – myself as a press photographer, he, naturally, supporting his brother’s campaign for the leadership. Like two veterans, we swopped stories about how exciting and nerve-wracking that convention had been, and how tension had built steadily over 12 hours, culminating in his brother’s win. After defeating a half-dozen opponents, and after five ballots, Dalton had emerged victorious at the unheard of, mindnumbing hour of 5:15 a.m. At the appointed half-hour, Ontario DeputyPremier and MPP Deb Matthews (London North Centre) greeted the crowd. “Canadians are hungry,” she said, “for a Prime Minister who reflects their values…for a government that restores Canada’s place in the world.” To sustained applause, she confided: “I’ve got good news. I’ve got a good idea who that prime minister might be.” An excited buzz ran through the crowd, as all waited eagerly for their party leader’s appearance. Then Trudeau emerged from backstage, but it took him five minutes to reach the lectern, so overwhelming was the response from the cheering, chanting, hand-grasping throng that bordered his path. Framed by an enormous, wall-mounted Canadian flag, he began his speech by noting that this rally was being held in London’s Ukrainian Centre, and he expressed support, on behalf of all Canadians, to the people of Ukraine, and their recent trials at the hands of Russian invaders. “All Canadians stand with them,” Trudeau added, “and offer them our steadfast support (to the Ukraine.)” Trudeau first addressed some local issues.
“There are fewer full-time jobs in London, than there was a decade ago,” he noted. “Even though the population has increased by 20 per cent.” He talked of meeting a London-born married mother who is soon to lose her job at Target, along with 1,700 others across the country. Harper does not appear to care that manufacturing jobs are drying up, Trudeau claimed, and has ignored what has always made Canada prosperous: “Diversity, balance, and partnership between regions and sectors.” A plan was needed to get Canadian-made products to export markets, but the Tories were more concerned with oil revenues. Oil prices had gone through the floor, and the Tories had no back-up plan, he repeated. Staying very much on message, Trudeau said that Harper’s priority was to give a $2 billion inPhoto courtesy of Desmond Peter Devoy come-splitting gift to wealthy Canadians. “On Wednesday, Jan. 14, the finance minister Federal Liberal Party leader Justin Trudeau signs a copy of his recently-published memsaid that oil prices would have no effect on the oir, Common Ground, surrounded by supporters at a London rally on Jan. 20. budget. On Thursday, he changed his mind, and delayed the budget. The Tories seem to be making it up as they go along. I’m a teacher,” Trudeau added, “and these excuses are the equivalent of: ‘The dog ate my homework.’” 0 In conclusion, Trudeau stated: “This govern225/60 ment will never change. This year, if we work hard, SOLD Canadians will change the government.” Trudeau then left the stage and engaged in a prolonged, palm-pressing, troop-rallying encounter with more than 100 people, who milled around NEEDS YOUR HELP TO PROVIDE URGENTLY NEEDED him.

Local hospital’s excellence in care could be replicated overseas Stacey Roy
sroy@perfprint.ca
News - The excellence in care at the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital could be copied and put on a plane to help the people of the Republic of Guinea and Ghana. Last Wednesday, Jan. 21, executives from Kallo Inc. in Markham, Ont., toured the Smiths Falls hospital site to learn its secrets of excellence in health care delivery. “This kind of exposure is really good for us. The more that we learn from sites like this… the more that we can inject that early in our planning,” said Dr. Marion Lyver, chief medical officer of Kallo Inc. “You guys are one of the good sites.” Beverley McFarlane, president and CEO of the local hospital commented in a press release: “Anytime we can share with our community that we are an organization that serves as a good example of healthcare is a valued compliment.” Last April, the local hospital received exemplary standing from Accreditation Canada. The Ontario firm has been asked to extend dialysis services, rural and mobile care over five years in Ghana. However, their major project is a $200 million contract by the Republic of Guinea. The project scope includes building a permanent hospital with a maximum bed capacity of 120, provide many of the services our local hospital provides with a particular focus on maternal health for babies and mothers. Al Quadros, vice president, global operations at Kallo Inc. said they are building 15 polyclinic centres dedicated to the issue of maternity. Within their two-year contract Kallo Inc. will develop the hospital and supply it, set up 10 mobile care centres which will be connected to satellite, have a
generator and a potable water supply, established ambulances and one air ambulance. The hospital is being built in Canada and shipped in pieces to the Republic of Guinea. “We have a huge task ahead of us,” Quadros added. “They have little or nothing” in healthcare infrastructure. This was the case when the company began discussions with the Republic of Guinea and has only deepened following the outbreak of Ebola. Quadros said a more worrying issue is the spread of malaria in the region. The average life span for a Guinea male is 54 years old; in Ghana it’s late 50s. Quadros hopes the system they will implement will help to head off future outbreaks and control those that do happen. “I think it just makes our service even more critical,” Lyver added. One of the biggest tasks for Kallo Inc. will be to fulfill the training component of their contract. Training staff to operate the infrastructure they put in place is a tall order given lack of electrical infrastructure and other obstacles. Michele Bellows, vice president of patient care services at PSFDH completed a two-week training session in Ethiopia when she was finishing up her academic training. She learned after the first day on the ground to meet her peers where they were, which meant a complete rewrite of the training manuals. “The expectations of the developed world need to be thrown out,” Bellows added. “It was probably the neatest two weeks of my life. It was so eye-opening.” Access to services is another challenge the team will tackle with mobile units and the use of telehealth appointments. Chris Barry, director of professional services and product development at Kallo Inc. noted they will be opening

Hospital president and CEO, Beverley McFarlane took a seat in a wheelchair for the photo. a regional response centre to allow for telehealth and improved access to specialists. The Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital does have the capability for telehealth services, but Bellows said it is currently under-utilized. McFarlane moved further into the workings of the hospital by highlighting the active board and volunteer base of approximately 120 strong in Smiths Falls. Hospital staff estimates this is the equivalent of 20 to 25 full-time staff. “The auxiliary is really a huge part of the family that is here,” McFarlane added. “I’m very lucky that we do have a board that’s very functional.”
Lyver liked the idea of a local board to provide consistency in direction, but wondered out loud if a volunteer program could be used as part of the training to test someone’s aptitude. “That’s something we haven’t explored yet,” she said. Another key element in hospital operations is the partnerships between themselves and other health care services such as Lanark County Mental Health and the sexual assault and domestic violence program to name a couple. “We do have a good net in the community,” McFarlane said. This was noted by all in the room as a

real asset to the local healthcare system. “The key trend we keep seeing in organizations your size is those partnerships,” Barry said. Nancy Shaw, vice president of clinical services at PSFDH said the move to collaboration is born out of sheer necessity. “If we were working in silos we potentially couldn’t operate,” Shaw said. The local hospital takes this philosophy in house by splitting services between the two sites. “We are one hospital and a long hallway,” McFarlane said referring to Hwy. 43.

www.perth.ca FALSE SECURITY ALARM BY-LAW MOVING FORWARD
The Perth Police Services Board and the Town of Perth have been working together to develop a by-law aimed at encouraging a reduction in false security alarms. The by-law was discussed at Committee of the Whole before being approved by Council on Tuesday evening. It takes effect immediately. The by-law establishes a procedure to be followed for false security alarm calls and non-attendance of owners when an alarm is triggered, and it is based on reports issued from the OPP to the police services board and the town. After two warning notifications, a $200 fee will be charged upon the third incident and for every false alarm/nonattendance occurrence thereafter until the owner has no false alarm or non-attendance occurrences for a 12-month period. Perth Mayor John Fenik explained this by-law is one way the town can take a proactive approach to monitoring police costs. “With the new OPP billing model in place, we are carefully monitoring our calls for service. This by-law is not intended to generate revenue and it does not cover the actual cost of police attendance at an alarm call. The goal is to
encourage owners to take steps to ensure their systems are reliable and working properly in order to minimize false alarm occurrences.” The OPP policy is that all security alarm calls be attended by two police officers. Reports submitted to the police services board over the last year show the majority of security alarm occurrences attended by the OPP are false, involving no intrusion or crime. This means officers may be diverted from other important public safety functions. “We want to make sure police resources are being used efficiently and effectively,” added Perth Police Services Board Chair Stephanie Gray. The board and the town will advertise the new procedure to ensure property owners are aware of the new by-law. It will be posted on the town’s website at www.perth.ca.

The Perth event is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. At right, Andrew Monteith holds the dagger that he has just plunged deep into the haggis.

That is, if their application to play in this league is accepted, which won’t be known for a week or so, McLean said. “We’re pretty confident we’ll get the nod,” said the team’s coach and general manager, Mat Milberry. “It’s an exciting time for Junior B hockey.” The new CCHL Tier II league will be comprised of an east and west division with eight teams per side. “We’ll have the best of both worlds,” assured McLean. “I never thought I’d see the day when we’d be playing teams like Westport and Athens in our barn… can you imagine the playoff scenario? That’s going to be huge.” This new format is geared more towards player development, noted Milberry, and already Perth is strong with its community efforts. “The way the guys are conducting themselves in their community is a bonus,” Milberry said. “We’re going to be focusing more on player development, getting in two practises a week, which we already do, and focus on player nutrition. Each guy will have to earn his spot.” McLean said from his standpoint, it’s more about running a professional team as they will continue with their video teaching.

McLean is also hopeful for an extended season, to coincide with the number of games played in the CCHL. Another bonus will be a draft – similar to the CCHL. “We’ll be able to protect five guys (each team) and then there will be a draft,” McLean noted. Millberry said it will be a positive for junior hockey in the area. “It will be a change in the culture with a focus on community,” Milberry said. “There will be some ruffles, but in the end it will benefit the players and the league.” The EOJHL has been around for almost 60 years. Founded in 1966, it started as the RideauSt. Lawrence Jr. B Hockey League. After a merger with the Ottawa Valley Jr. B Hockey League, and the folding of the Lanark-Renfrew Jr. C Hockey League, the EOJBHL lost the ‘B’ in its name in 2009. Now, the EOJHL is now the only Jr. B league in the Ottawa District Hockey Association. When contacting CCHL commissioner Kevin Abrams through a media representative, he indicated that there is “really nothing to comment on” but “probably have something at (the) end of our season.” Watch for more on this story as it unfolds.

Retired Lanark soldier dies: saw service in Bosnia, Cyprus, Afghanistan ljweir@metroland.com
News – Retired Chief Warrant Officer Ernie Hall died doing what he’d been trained to do – helping people. But the way in which his tragic demise unfolded was ironic. Hall was one of three pedestrians struck and injured by a motor vehicle on Sunday night, Jan. 11 on Lake Street, Pembroke, near the Pembroke Memorial Centre. Hall had been attending a Pembroke Lumber Kings hockey game which had just concluded when the accident occurred. Severely injured, Hall was taken to a medical facility in Ottawa where he died around 10 p.m. on Jan. 12, with family and close friends at his side. Hall was a decorated retired military man from Lanark. He was 57 years of age. “It’s ironic that he died at a hockey game, when he spent 38 years in the military,” his brother Pete Hall told The Perth Courier. “He will definitely be missed,” said family friend, Jeff Wright of Perth. “It’s been a hard pill to swallow. He was a high-ranking officer.” Military career Hall was 17 when he joined the 3rd Battalion Royal Canadian Regiment in 1975 in Petawawa. Following a peacekeeping tour with 3 RCR in Cyprus in
1977, he was posted to 2 Commando, Canadian Airborne Regiment at Petawawa, also in 1977. Hall also served in the Airborne Regiment until 1986, including time as a Pathfinder Recce Det 2IC and as a Section Commander with 3 Commando. He completed another tour in Cyprus in 1981, was promoted to Master Corporal in 1982 and to the rank of Sergeant in 1986. Hall served with The RCR Battle School at Petawawa from 1986-87 and was then posted to 3 RCR at Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1987. In 1988 he was posted to Baden Soellingen, Germany with Mortar Platoon, 3 RCR as a Mortar Fire Controller (MFC). He remained in Germany until 1993 and served in the Gulf War in 1990, with M Company, 3 RCR; and deployed to Croatia in 1991 as a Platoon Warrant Officer in November Company, 3 RCR, part of the Royal 22ieme Regiment Battle Group. Hall was promoted to the rank of Warrant Officer following his return from the Gulf in 1990. Posted to 2 RCR in 1993 he was subsequently employed as Intelligence Warrant Officer; Mortar Platoon Warrant Officer; Rifle Company CQMS; CQMS Admin Company; and Operations Warrant Officer. Chief Warrant Officer Hall completed a tour in Bosnia with 2 RCR in 1999. Promoted to Master Warrant Officer in 2001, he served as

the Sergeant-Major of Hotel Company, 2 RCR, including a deployment to Eritrea as part of Task Force East Africa. Following the tour in Eritrea, Hall was posted to NDHQ Ottawa as The RCR career manager. After promotion to CWO in 2005 he subsequently became the Infantry Corps Career Manager. Hall was appointed Regimental Sergeant-Major of 3 RCR on Dec. 16, 2006. His tenure of appointment would last until June 16, 2009. During this time
he was also RSM of the 3 RCR Battle Group (Task Force 3-08) in Kandahar Province, Afghanistan from September 2008 – April 2009. In June 2009, he returned to NDHQ Ottawa as the Army CWO career manager. In January 2011 Hall was appointed the Regimental Sergeant-Major of 42 Field Regiment (Lanark and Renfrew Scottish Regiment), Royal Canadian Artillery, at Pembroke, Ontario. Hall retired in 2014 at the conclusion of a career that spanned more than 38 years and that was typified by loyal, devoted and outstanding service. He was invested as a Member of the Order of Military Merit in 2005 and was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal in June 2010. “To have a career like he did in the military, then to be hit in a parking lot… it just doesn’t make any sense,” Pete Hall said. Ernie was an avid hockey fan, growing up in Lanark, he had the opportunity to play with the senior men’s league, Pete said. “He was a great outdoors guy. He enjoyed playing sports. We were very close.” The brothers were always good friends growing up, Pete said. There were eight siblings in the family: five boys and three girls. Ernie Hall will be missed by children Nicole Hall and Michael Hall both of
Winnipeg Man. He was the son of Archie and the late Kaye (nee Tovey) Hall. He is survived by his brothers Pete Hall (June), of Perth; Glenn Hall (Laurie) of Smiths Falls and his sisters Sharon Hannah (Paul) of Lombardy; Susan Robertson (Rob) and Lisa Anderson (Al) both of Perth, as well as all his nieces and nephews. Ernie was predeceased by his brothers Charlie and Murray Hall. A military sendoff for Hall was held Monday at the Murphy Funeral Home in Pembroke with the interment at Beechwood National Military Cemetery, on Monday. In memory of Ernie Hall, donations to Soldier On are appreciated. Ongoing investigation The Upper Ottawa Valley Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is continuing to investigate with OPP Technical Traffic Collision investigators (TTCI) and Forensic Identification Services who are assisting. The Pembroke Fire Department as well as County of Renfrew Paramedic Services assisted at the scene. As a result of the investigation, a 38-year-old Pembroke man has been charged in relation to Hall’s death. If anyone was a witness to the collision, or has any information, please contact the Pembroke Detachment of the OPP at 613-732-3332. Const. Scott Wood is the investigating officer.

Food Hub kitchens near completion, open house slated for Feb. 5 Stacey Roy
sroy@perfprint.ca
News - On Feb. 5, between 3 to 6 p.m., the Two Rivers Food Hub invites the community to the Gallipeau Centre for information sharing on their vision and shortterm goals beginning with a tour of the newly completed industrial kitchen spaces. On this day, three of the four rentable kitchens will be complete and on the public tour: the main kitchen and two preparation kitchen spaces. The fourth kitchen is in the design phase and will be specifically for gluten free foods. The space will be separate from the other areas with a complete bakery line that has been purchased from auction. All spaces will be inspected and certified for use. Area residents interested in helping The Hub prepare for the open house are welcome to come out the afternoon of Saturday, Jan. 31 (1 to 4 p.m.) Volunteers will be helping to clean up, put together shelving and generally get the place ready. “It needs some brightening up,” said Matthew Brearley, general manager of the Two Rivers Food Hub. Volunteers are asked to register before hand by calling the
Food Hub at 613-205-1338 or via email at: tworiversfoodhub@ gmail.com. The main kitchen will house a 40-gallon skillet for making jams and jellies and a steam kettle for soup and sauces in addition to other standard equipment. This facility is conveniently located next to the hub’s loading dock and two of the large industrial freezer rooms. Brearley is excited for the opportunity to assist local producers in growing their companies and reaching more clients. “Most people now-a-days they make 30 to 50 jars at a time. This will give them the opportunity to produce 100 jars in a day,” Brearley explained. The organization is planning to purchase filling and capping equipment to allow producers to set the amount they want in each container and allow a machine to do the work. Brearley said he hopes The Hub will allow producers to expand their current business and get out to more retail locations and ultimately to area grocery stores. Storage rentals for cold or dry items are available as well as freezers, with flexible periods and reasonable rates. “We’re giving the opportunity

Matthew Brearley, general manager of the Two Rivers Food Hub welcomes the community to an open house Feb. 5 from 3 to 6 p.m. at the Gallipeau Centre. Three of four kitchen rental facilities will be ready by this date. for these farms to be self-sustainable,” Brearley added. The storage will give “a consistent supply to restaurants and institutions.” Part of creating a consistent supply year around is the plan to bulk purchase seed for producers and stagger growing times. All of this information will be discussed with producers at the
first producers meeting on Thursday, Jan. 29, 7 p.m. The plan will be to provide a single location for farmers to drop off produce where it can be marketed and processed for consumption. “That’s where we come in,” Brearley said. The general manager has a background in restaurant op-
erations, having owned his own farm-to-table restaurant in the Ottawa Valley. “I used to buy from upwards of 15 different farms,” Brearley recalls. The Hub hopes they can help producers address the challenge of time and cost to travel to different restaurant locations. The organization is approaching local stores and hopes to incorporate chain grocery stores in their mix of retailers. “I hope the Hub will definitely help them go across that bridge,” said Bill Watts, manager of Foodsmiths in Perth. Foodsmiths is planning to carry some of the end product from the Hub as they have been purchasing directly from farmers in the area virtually since their opening. “It’s something the owners, Don and Claire Smith, have certainly strived for,” Watts added. “To get farmers to come together is just going to make it that much more seamless to get it to market.” The objective is to bring the food from the fields to the plate within 72 hours. Brearley said some food in stores have traveled 21 days before landing in your cart. Their plan is to help grow
a network for sustainable food in eastern Ontario. “All of these little drops will end up forming this really interesting food pool,” Brearley said. Future growth The kitchens represents phase one of The Hub rollout. Phase two will look at vegetable production and cleaning line. This space will include a drying table. “If farmers want to create value added products, we’ll have the equipment that will permit them to do that,” Brearley said. Another future piece of the puzzle is the opportunity to restore some of the vegetable gardens that Rideau Regional Centre used to rely on to make 15,000 meals a day in its heyday. The land is designated Class A farmland. “We’re not at that point yet, but the hope is that one day we will be able to utilize some of the lands,” Brearley said. The presence of all the facilities at the Gallipeau Centre made it a desirable location for the food hub to locate. Brearley said future growth is possible at the site as the centre has four to five freezers on one side of the building and about the same number on the other side.

Baking soda saga
ditorial - I’ve come to realize how important it is to listen to my gut, but sometimes stuff happens and the voices in my head shout out instructions and I choose not to listen. I need to work on this. Yes, I have an example! As I mentioned last week, January is Family Birthday Month. So far we have had one small event with a chocolate birthday cake for Boychild, on Saturday we attended a party for my niece and on Sunday we hosted the in-laws to mark Groom-boy’s and Boychild’s birthdays. Next week we head to the parents’ for my brother’s festivities. By the end of January I shall weigh 872 pounds. About the Sunday event. I decided to make the same chocolate cake I had prepared for Boychild’s birthday. It’s made from scratch and is very chocolately and it turned out really well the first time. So on Sunday morning I was merrily measuring ingredients and things were coming along nicely. When it was time to add the baking soda, I slipped up a bit and measured too much. Inside voice: “Hey! That’s too much!” Outside voice: “Oh well. It’ll be fine.” The baking soda was dumped into the mix and I was immediately distracted by the next shiny object. I popped the cake pans into the oven and set about cooking up the ingredients for the main course, which I was making ahead. After a few minutes, I could smell something burning. Smoke was starting to pour out of the oven vent. Outside voice: “What the...?” I flung open the door and was greeted by a cloud of smoke. When it cleared, I could see the batter had bubbled over the pans and had fallen onto the elements. There was actually a small fire in the oven. Outside voice: “Huh. Would you look at that.” By this time the smoke had attracted the attention of Boychild. As I poked at the burning chunks of cake with a utensil, he seemed slightly more alarmed. Boychild voice: “Mom! Shouldn’t you put that out?” By this point I was feeling annoyed. I wasn’t sure if the cake would be ruined. I knew I wouldn’t have time to bake another cake, and now the house was going to stink like smoke along with the ground beef, onions and garlic currently bubbling away on the stove.
Past Deadline
Stephanie Gray
Boychild voice: “Mom!” Outside voice: “Sigh.” I grabbed the box of baking soda. It wasn’t a grease fire but, hey, it was handy and would probably be less steamy than water. Kapow! Fire out. Baking soda is amazing! (This is irony, people.) Boychild was suitably impressed. Then we went about the house opening doors and windows. By this time the cat was going berserk – running from room to room and eventually hiding under the bed. Meanwhile, in the kitchen, I let the cake timer run its course. What I pulled out of the oven in the end was not burnt, but it was definitely not as light and fluffy as the last version of the same cake. Outside voice: “Why the heck did this happen?” Inside voice: “Because you put in too much baking soda, idiot. Remember?” Doh. Right. That. Someone once told me and I also learned by trial and error over the years that you can play with ingredients when cooking, but you have to be careful with baking. Baking is like chemistry. Salt has an important role and so does baking soda, not to mention many other ingredients. Too much or too little in relation to one another can, well, cause small fires. I could be wrong, but I’m guessing the slight overabundance of baking soda was enough to send the batter spilling over the top. Inside voice: “Listen to me next time.” I am pleased to report that it all worked out in the end. We managed to get the smoky smell mostly cleared out by the time the guests arrived. Although we grabbed some Plan B Butter Tarts at the store just in case, the cake turned out okay. As I tried to ice it, I opted to change the name from “Chocolate Cake” to “Brownie Crumble Surprise” because it was moist and dense like a brownie and prone to collapsing around the edges. (That’s called “spin,” people.) It was yummy, though. And now, if you need me, I’ll be cleaning the oven.

ditorial – War sure produces some great songs, if nothing else. But, of late, some songs have been making me think of the war we are now appearing to have entered in to – much to everyone’s surprise. Despite being told back in October that Canada’s 69 troops in Iraq would not be anywhere near the front lines in the fight against Islamic State (IS) terrorists, Canada, as of this writing, has been engaged in battle with IS fighters at least three times. Things have changed on the ground, we are told. And so we find ourselves at war – again. We’ve just finished a long, grinding, bloody war against a motivated rebel group in Afghanistan. And now, we find ourselves in another dusty country, fighting, well, a motivated rebel group. During my evening routine with Loughlin, my youngest daughter, rocking her to sleep with music, the revue starts off with more up-tempo beats (she loves the new Mark Ronson/Bruno Mars collaboration, “Uptown Funk,” and The Beatles’ “Hey Bulldog.”) But as she starts to rub her eyes, and rest her head on my shoulder, we slow things down a bit.
DESMOND DEVOY Des Says One of Paul Simon’s lesser-known songs was from his 1980 movie One Trick Pony. America was still reeling from Vietnam just a few years previous and the song spoke to a veteran’s lament for the loss of human life in that war – and for his own “what-the-hell-am-Idoing-here?” sense of disillusion. “Soft parachutes/Fourth of July/Villages burning/Returning/The bodies all laid in a line/Like soft parachutes,” Simon sang in his song. He continued, singing about how he was a high school senior just the year before, and “Now I am flyin’/Down some Vietnam highway/Don’t ask me the reason/God only knows why.” Once she is asleep, I clicked over to a song in Russian. I had heard about the song while listening to a book on tape from the Smiths Falls Public Library, which I highly recommend: Charlie Wilson’s War, by the late CBS News producer George Crile.

Crile mentioned, in passing, that Russia had its own, unofficial, “bring out your dead” songs from the Afghan war. If you’re looking for a true downer of a song, Alexander Rozenbaum’s “A Monologue of a ‘Black Tulip’ Pilot,” the Antonov AN-12’s that brought the bodies of Russian soldiers back home. It makes Gordon Lightfoot’s “Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald,” seem like Lesley Gore’s “Sunshine, Lollipops, and Rainbows” in comparison. But the lyrics are pure poetry – and, as they said in David Lean’s epic adaptation of Boris Pasternak’s novel Doctor Zhivago, “nobody loves poetry like a Russian.” Here’s a taste from a translation I found online. Not the most authoritative interpretation, I admit, but it gets the main message across: “We’re quietly floating over the earth/A mourning bird/Across the border/To the Russian sunrises/It carries the boys home. Torn to pieces/ They will never, never/Hug warm shoulders.” As a father, that last line tears one up inside. But it gets worse, as he repeats the line about “20-year-olds for whom

Letters to the Editor
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it: reader of Junior B hockey It seems that our local Jr. B hockey teams are about to undergo some major changes. A handful of individuals have made those decisions. Jr. B in the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League (EOJHL) has been a league where many local minor league players have watched their local teams play throughout their minor hockey years. They have dreams of someday being on that team. Well for the most part, moneymaking is going to prevail and for many, their hopes will be dashed. The CCHL for the most part is a money pit, in my opinion, and many teams struggle to survive due to high costs to maintain their teams and low fan support. Why is that? Well possibly because there are very few local players. In many cases local Jr. B teams are drawing more fans than CCHL. The Perth Blue Wings are a perfect example of that local talent and good fan support.
I believe the new Junior B (or whatever it’s called) will be the demise of all this and will end up bringing in players from outside and therefore fan support is gone. Local players hopes and dreams will be dashed. High expenses will prevail. No one was brave enough to ask the fans or survey players or minor leagues to get their input. All done behind closed doors so a few elite individuals know what is going on. In my opinion this is all about money and not about the good of hockey. Jr. B has existed in this area for many years and I believe it should have been left alone. I am sure many local fans have the same opinions and I challenge all of you to let the league know through media of some sort to leave it be. I am so very sorry for local players and fans as this will change hockey locally forever. Last year an independent survey rated the EOJHL as number two in North America based upon

Even if the cause is just, what a bitter feast to have to eat. I hold her a little closer, as the pilot sings, “And so we fly, our jaws clenched in anger/Our dry lips moistened by vodka.” As I hold Loughlin, and listen to these songs, I look at her sleeping little form and wonder: what kind of world will she grow up in?

for single use only are mandatory. The needles or “pins” are inserted for the required time of half an hour. Comfort depends on the quality of the needles, the cost and the practitioner’s expertise. The needles alone are very powerful. After all, acupuncture has been practiced for more than 5,000 years. Kathryn Lynn Dowdall R.Ac CLA Perth

February 1st: Fourth Sunday after Epiphany On the television set the evening news recounted how there had been yet another guerilla attack on Soviet forces in the country. The camera panned over the bodies of the young Russian men, soon to be sent home on the Black Tulip. Out of the corner of his eye, Farid saw his mother begin to weep. Perplexed, he asked, “Mother, why are you crying? My brother, your son, is mujahadeen. He is fighting the Russians. Why are you weeping for our enemies?” His mother lifted her head and looked at her son, his face illuminated by the flickering television screen. “Right now, there are Russian mothers weeping, who will never again hold their children close to them. Their hearts will be broken forever,” she said. She sighed, looked at her own young son, and said, “You won’t understand until you have children of your own.” I may be wrong, but, from what I have seen, Canada does not seem to have a very strong tradition of these “bodies coming back from the front,” songs. Maybe there is something different in our national psyche, something apart –
neither good or bad – from the Russians and Americans. Are we ready to change that? Are we ready for our own ballads, to make room on the cenotaphs for the Iraq war dead, for a war that, the prime minister himself – and I take him at his word on this – believes will last quite a long time? Do we know what we are getting into? Do we know how to get out? At what cost victory? The cause may be just. But who could have seen, as German troops streamed crossed the border into Poland on Sept. 2, 1939, that it would result on the world’s first atomic bomb being dropped on Japan on Aug. 6, 1945? As the young American soldier scrambled up to cover the face of the statue of Saddam Hussein with the stars and stripes in Firdos Square on April 9, 2003, could he have seen, from his high vantage overlooking Baghdad that spring day, that, by 2014, the actions of he and his comrades, would result in the rise of the Islamic State 11 years later? What are we getting into?

treated and released to an appropriate wildlife sanctuary so it could live with others of its species? To date, the goose has managed its own affairs well. When things began to freeze upriver, it appeared by the Rainbow Bridge. Later, it moved to Stewart Park. When things got busy in the park and the weather turned colder, it returned to the Rainbow Bridge area. It has a more protected setting there, and access to food and open water. For now, at least, this resilient goose seems stable in its environment.

and see the goose daily. It’s true that one of the goose’s wings appears to have been injured; however, the bird does not seem to be in obvious distress or lethargic. On cold days it hunkers down to conserve energy; on milder days, it is active. It also seems to be carrying the injured wing higher than it was several weeks ago. According to the article, the wild bird care centre in Ottawa “has agreed to look after the bird”. The centre does good work. However, what does “look after” mean? Would the goose be ‘rescued’ from its natural environment to be euthanized? Would it be kept on at the centre for ‘educational purposes’? Or, would it be

The Jan. 22 item ‘Did buck-passing condemn a goose to death?’ does a disservice to the goose and to readers looking for balanced reporting. In it, Perth resident Lisa Walker claims that the Canada goose in question has been left to die a slow, agonizing death on the shores of the Tay. She is quoted as saying that on Jan. 15 she saw the goose near the Rainbow Bridge and that “he’s still in distress,” and “really lethargic”. I share Ms. Walker’s concern for the goose, but would like to offer a less dire picture of its condition. I live near the Rainbow Bridge

Since I moved to Perth four years ago, I have been gradually creating a small garden in front of my house. My pride and joy were two wrought iron cone-shaped plant supports that were made of six narrow iron rods that came together at the top in a pinecone ornament, and stood about four feet tall. In the summer I grew morning glories on them. In the winter I wrapped blue LED rope lights around them to make them look like little trees. These lights were bright and were like a beacon for me when I came home late at night from work. As soon as I turned into my street, especially if I had driven through a snow storm, I knew I was home safe and sound. On the evening of Dec. 15,

Did you know? The first major battle of World War I involving Canadian troops was at Ypes, where the 1st Canadian Division was assigned a sector. The battle began on April 22, 1915, and coincided with Germany’s use of the deadly chlorine gas. The gas wiped out most of the French part of the line, but Canadian troops pushed in and closed the gap of almost 6 kilometers left by the fleeing French troops, thereby saving the Ypres salient.

The new outdoor hottub will be a big draw for the northern spa experience at Tay River Reflections.
Perth’s new northern spa experience set to increase year-round tourism
Business - Tay River Reflections Medical Spa in Perth has opened Tay River Aqua. This is an outdoor hot tub experience. With two large outdoor hot tubs each holding 26 people, a cold shower, a red cedar sauna, three relaxation gazebos, outdoor fireplace, a fully licensed dining lounge and kilometers of river trails for hiking, skiing or snowshoeing, Aqua is set to be a popular destination year-round. Combining the amenities of the spa and the affiliated gym, known as T’N’T for Train ‘N Transform, Tay River Reflections offers a unique spa getaway. Use of the fully equipped gym is included in the Aqua admission price. There are currently 33 classes offered to gym members each week, ranging from yoga, stretch and strengthen, and easy-going classes, right up to the very vigorous Energy Max classes, Pilates and weight training sessions. T’NT opened in June 2011, and has been steadily growing in its membership. “Our facility caters to the health conscious, nature-loving spa goer, who is seeking a relaxing but invigorating getaway that encompasses fitness, relaxation, pampering and outdoor activities,” states Dr. Manuela Joannou, the spa’s medical director. “As far as I know, there is not another medical spa in Canada that offers all the treatments and amenities we offer.” Tay River Reflections started in a small clinic in a strip mall in Perth in 1999. “In 2005 we moved to what used to be the
horse stable on our farm on the outskirts of Perth along the Tay River, and we have continued with our renovations ever since.” The medical spa offers unique anti-ageing and other cosmetic procedures. “We have clients coming from quite far away, because some of the treatments we do are very unique,” states Joannou. The usual spa menu of massages, facials, manicures, pedicures and body treatments are also available. “Opening Aqua has allowed us to expand to become a true destination spa, attracting clients from Ottawa, Kingston and tourists from farther beyond,” states Joannou. “We are very proud of how Aqua has turned out. The property is very beautiful in its setting with its picturesque trails along the river, and this expansion has allowed us to showcase the property to its full potential. You can plan on coming for the day. Maybe you will start out with a workout in the gym, perhaps joining in a class or working with a personal trainer. Then you could go for a hike along the river, where you are bound to see some of the variety of wildlife on the property. You could then have a massage or another spa service, followed by a soak in the hot tub, and a relaxing time in the sauna. Then you can have a nice meal with a glass of wine, after which you could go back in the hot tubs and then have a nap in one of our relaxation gazebos.” Tay River Reflections has
hired executive chef Kevin Van Berkel who has crafted the spa menu and delights in preparing a variety of healthy and delicious foods. “Having meals and snacks that give you a cherished memory for a long time is very important to us, and Kevin has delivered the quality of food that we were striving for. “We are looking forward to also being able to offer corporate retreats, weddings and a variety of workshops geared toward achieving optimum physical and mental health.” In the works are the construction of a conference room that will hold 90 people in the one remaining hay loft that has not yet been renovated. “That loft may be one of the greatest features of the whole complex,” says Joannou. “It has the impressive view across the fields to the river, with a high cathedral ceiling and open concept floor space. We have planned every piece of furniture and every bit of landscaping and design with comfort, luxury and serenity in mind.” For more information, reservations, or to discuss booking an event or retreat, you may visit the website at www.tayriverreflections.com or call 613-264-0888.

The Regimental Band of the Governor General’s Foot Guards is performing at St. Paul’s United Church in Perth on Saturday, Feb. 7 at 7:30 p.m. Admission is by donation. A wide variety of traditional, military and popular music will be performed with a special segment for children featuring music from the movie “Frozen”. The band is pictured outside their Cartier Square Drill Hall headquarters in Ottawa.
Foot Guards Band to play in Perth News - The Governor General’s Foot Guards Band will be performing at St. Paul’s United Church in Perth on Saturday, Feb. 7 at 7:30 p.m. The 30-piece concert band is part of the most senior reserve infantry regiment in Canada, dating back to its formation in 1872. The band is based at Cartier Square Drill Hall in downtown Ottawa. They share a close connection to the Governor General and provide music for many ceremonies in the Ottawa area, including the annual nationally televised Remembrance Day ceremony held at the War Memorial. Their Director, Lt. Col. Frances Chilton-Mackay is the Staff Officer of Army Bands for all bands in the Canadian Army. She became the first female director of the ensemble in 2006. The band’s full dress uniform with scarlet tunic and bearskin hat is immediately recognizable. Many of the musicians in the ensemble play in the Ceremonial Guard band, which supports the changing of the guard ceremony on Parliament
Hill during the summer months. The performance will include a variety of traditional, military and popular music for concert band including numbers for band and organ involving St. Paul’s Director of Music, Brad Mills. Mills’ son Greg Upham-Mills plays percussion in the band. A special segment of the concert program will focus on children, with music from the blockbuster movie “Frozen”. Kids will be invited to join the band’s vocalist in a sing-a-long of the movie’s most popular songs. Admission to the concert is free, but donations will be accepted at the door to defray the costs of advertising. Prospective concertgoers are invited to warm up an early Saturday evening with the exciting sounds of brass, woodwind, percussion and organ, in the intimate and acoustically pleasant sanctuary of St. Paul’s United Church, 25 Gore St. W. in Perth.

May we all find ways to answer the call Shelley Roberts Religion Today
Community - If you were in church last Sunday, there is a good chance that you heard the story of Jonah. If you do not know the story, you can read it in the Bible or there is a wonderful you-tube video of a young girl telling the story in a far more enchanting manner that I can retell it here. At any rate, the lessons from the tale of Jonah seem to be that we should heed the call of the Holy when it comes upon us and that we are called to love others. Many people will tell you that they heard God’s voice in some manner or other. Perhaps it was in a dream as they looked for an answer to a question or a dilemma and they awoke in the morning knowing exactly what to do even though it may have not been what they had planned or expected. They will say that it “just felt right” or that they “were finally at peace in their soul”. Some people will have found their answer in a snowstorm or a rainfall or on a hike into the mountains or very early in the morning at the lake and they will tell you that their inspiration came from God. Others are invited by friends to see the light. This may be in the form of an intervention, in a warning, in advice, or through an invitation given by one who cares about our well being and sees
gifts within our repertoire that we do not see for ourselves. Sometimes, God’s call comes in a newspaper or television story, from a documentary or book, or from a poster on a community bulletin board. If your heart is strangely warmed and you feel a sudden and unexpected desire to respond to a situation, then that is probably a call from the Holy One (particularly if the action required would be challenging and not at all within your comfort zone or in your future plans). Sometimes, it is hard to heed God’s call to love especially when that call is to love those who are foreign to us, who are different from us, who seem to be enemies to the causes that we believe in and support. We do not have to accept evil actions. We can speak out against injustice but we also have to learn to give others a second chance. It is easy to criticize. It is far harder to be kind to the stranger who cuts you off in traffic, to the panhandler outside the liquor store asking for small change, to the teenager with purple hair and many piercings who talks too loudly in the coffee shop disturbing your lunch, to the Moslem who posts pro ISIS video footage in Ottawa or to the peace seeking Moslem who is shunned through no fault of his or her own. God’s love is for all people and we are called to share God’s love. May we all find ways to answer that call.
News – A simple vote on awarding a solar energy consulting contract brought with it a debate on climate change and rising energy prices. Essex Energy of southwestern Ontario was awarded the contract to look at the details of installing solar panels on municipal properties as part of a $7,200 contract, at Perth town council’s committee-of-the-whole meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 13. By using solar, Coun. Jim Boldt charged, with the high rate of the provincial Feed-In Tariff for so-called “green energy” projects like solar, and since Ontario is “producing more power than we need,” he feared that “we are contributing to higher energy costs for everybody in this room,” said Boldt. He did, however, opine that he would support the project if the solar energy generated on top of the building could then be used to power that same building. Mayor John Fenik begged to differ. “Cleaner energy does not contribute to climate change… which threatens our survival,” said Fenik. “At a micro level, this is a very good thing to
do for our community.” Boldt remained unconvinced. “Here we go again, spending money on a consultant to tell us where to go,” said Boldt. He admitted that “none of us here are professionals in this room when it comes to solar. (But) I don’t think we should be getting into the solar business.” Coun. Judy Brown, however, pointed out that “we have to spend a little bit of money to save some money.” In his remarks to council, environmental services director Grant Machan said that Essex was the lowest bidder out of six, and the examining committee liked that Essex, based in Oldcastle, Ont., just outside of Windsor, does a lot of municipal partnerships. “They are not strictly a third-party business,” said Machan. “We gathered a lot of information… it comes down to cost/benefit.” The highest bid came in at $36,000 from SGA Energy Limited, and the second-lowest bid was the original instigator of the proposal, iSolara, at $12,000. Full council will vote on the contract at the Jan. 20 council meeting. As the consulting cost had not been budgeted, it will also become part of the 2015 town budget deliberations.

The design for the proposed “rocky ramp” solution was passed at town council’s committee-ofthe-whole meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 13, and appears poised to pass the full council on Jan. 20. But Fenik was able to convince council to at least study the idea of adding the generating station to the mix. “I thought that the feasibility of it could be explored,” said Fenik. Grant Machan, the town’s environmental services director, said that one of the areas that needed to be explored was the impact on fish stocks. “We don’t want those fish stocks being affected,” he said, by swimming up, around, and maybe even into, a generator. Coun. Jim Boldt was measured in his support for the idea. “If we can pull clean energy out of this, without too much more cost (to the project), great,” said Boldt. However, if the study or implementation held the dam replacement up, then the answer would be “no.” Machan later noted one way that would be a “measure of success” is that “no further damage is done, that it looks as it did years ago.” In his report to council, wrote that the $170,000 project would restore the “20/80 split between channels of the Tay River as it flows through Stewart Park and around the town hall area.” Currently, he estimates the flow at a more like 35/65, “which has caused flooding of Stewart Park throughout the year, erosion of the river banks, degradation of the gabion baskets in Stewart Park… and damage to the flow structure in Stewart Park.”

The work would be done in two phases, replacing one dam first, then another. The work will be done in the summer, after the fish spawning season, when water levels are traditionally at their lowest levels. Perth may host health care summit this spring Fenik wants to know, and he is seeking to bring together the brightest minds in healthcare for a proposed health care summit this spring. “It is in the very, very early stages,” Fenik reported during the Perth town council meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 20. “We hope to secure a very well known speaker in the field of health care.” While the preliminary details are still to be ironed out, Fenik is sure of one goal for the summit: namely, that “we start talking about the future of health care, and how we want it to look like in the future.” He added that he hopes it will be a county-wide initiative. The idea sprang from a recent hospital liaison meeting he attended. Upon hearing the proposal, Deputy Mayor John Gemmell reported that the recipient for the next Polar Bear Plunge in the Tay Basin on New Year’s Day 2016 will be the Great War Memorial Hospital Foundation. 200th anniversary money Another big event that Perth will be hosting in the coming months will be its 200th anniversary. Council approved a request from staff to apply for a $200,000 grant from the Building Communities Through Arts and Heritage group. The town will be moving forward on its own, but if it is successful in securing the money, “we would divvy up the money anyway,” between Perth and other participating municipalities, like Tay Valley and Drummond/North Elmsley townships, said Fenik. However, he added that, “it would look more favourably,” if the application were made on behalf of Perth and all of the participating municipalities. Ultimately, council decided to move forward on this plan.

Thunder rolls against Blue Wings as season nears the end Laurie Weir
ljweir@metroland.com
Sports - The Almonte Thunder gained some ground on the Perth Blue Wings in EOJHL action with two big wins Friday in Perth and Saturday at home. The Thunder handed the Blue Wings a 4-3 loss on Saturday night, while Perth suffered a 4-2 loss at home on Friday night. “We had some short-term goals with just 10 games left in the season and we are using this time to do some evaluations of players,” said Mat Milberry, the team’s head coach and general manager. “We fell a little behind Almonte, but we had some good efforts. There is no easy game in the league here and we certainly didn’t make it easy on ourselves. We took a couple steps backwards, but it wasn’t due to a lack of effort.” The team had a couple bad bounces here and there, but Milberry said they are willing to put in the hard work, both on and off the ice. On Saturday in Almonte, the Blue Wings fell to a 2-0 deficit after the first period. Goals were
scored by Ty Power and Matt Gabriel. Perth retaliated in the second with Cole Timchuk and Calvin Wheatley doing the damage. Assists went to Jake Reed, Cameron Cornwall, Ryan Daniel and Andrew Davis. The Thunder replied with two more of their own as Mark Vanderzyde and Gabriel scored, but Perth had the final goal of the second, and of the game, as Timchuk got his second. Logan Saunders and Nick Mucci had the assists. Matthew Dods picked up the win for the Thunder turning away 42 shots. Brett Ayers had the loss for Perth with 19 saves. Just 75 people were in attendance. The Blue Wings were whistled on six minors while Almonte had four. At the Blue Wings den on Friday night, it was a different story in terms of fans in attendance. The home team had more than 500 people out for a fast-paced game that saw special guests from the Stewart School. Cara Dean’s Grade 2/3 class – some 18 students See BLUE WINGS page P16

BLUE WINGS From page P15
– made their way to the den for the action. The kids were given Blue Wings hats, and pucks to drop. Dean said the kids had a blast. Owner Michael McLean said it was a hoot to see all 18 of them out on the ice, singing the national anthem and dropping pucks. They even rolled out the red carpet for them. “What a neat experience,” Dean said. “Michael McLean and Linda Bartlett did a super job and went above and beyond with so many extras including a mid-game slide show that depicted the students in and outside the classroom.” In front of a packed house, Perth took the early lead with Kyle Dowdall’s goal at the 8:10 mark, assisted by Mucci and Wheatley. Almonte took over the lead with a pair of backto-back markers from Jacaob Cuffley and Mark Vanderzyde for a 2-1 lead after the first.
Mucci was unassisted at 11:38 of the second period as the Blue Wings tied it up heading into the third period. Matt Gabriel was the game winner with his goal at 14:44 of the third, assisted by Ty Power and Quinn Gordon. In the dying minutes of the game, the pressure was on for Perth to score so they made a last-ditch effort with the extra attacker. But it was Almonte who got the advantage with Gordon’s empty netter for the insurance maker and the visitor win, 4-2. Dods picked up the win in nets with 31 saves while Ayers was hit with the loss with 30 saves. The Blue Wings host Stittsville on Friday at 7:30 p.m. and on Sunday, they are in Arnprior to meet the Packers at 7:30 p.m.

Doef thanks supporters via Twitter Laurie Weir
ljweir@metroland.com
News - For the first time since his on-ice collision, Neil Doef took to Twitter late Tuesday night, Jan. 20, to thank his supporters. “I’d like to thank everyone who has given my family and I this unbelievable support,” he tweeted. “The support is appreciated beyond words! Thank you.” The community at large, young and old alike, have rallied to show their support to the soon-tobe 18-year-old who is in intensive rehabilitation to gain the feeling back in his lower extremities. His family is facing possible renovations to their home to accommodate a wheelchair, or perhaps, move to a home where accessibility means are already in place, his grandparents told this newspaper recently. Doef suffered from a spinal cord injury on Dec. 14 in Kindersley, Sask., while playing for Team Canada East in the World Junior Championship. Since being brought back to Ottawa from
Kindersley, Doef has remained in hospital, where he undergoes rehab on a daily basis. The “Doefstrong community” has raised well over $128,000 led by the group “Friends of Doef” where you can keep track of all the updates about fundraisers, as well as Doef’s progress. Fundraisers are ongoing in communities near and far, and just recently, Andress’ Your Independent Grocer donated more than $4,000; Canadian Tire, Smiths Falls, donated $2,000 while their customers donated another $450.70. His high school, Smiths Falls District Collegiate, has donated $400 selling candles; the Smiths Falls Girls Hockey Association donated $1,000. The Ottawa Nepean Canadian Sports Club also donated $1,000. Most recently, the Kanata Sports Club donated $1,500 and the OPP Communications Centre, Smiths Falls raised $277. “I know this journey is going to be long,” Doef also tweeted Jan. 20, “but with all the support and my determination I’m ready to do whatever it takes!”
Hike with the Rideau Trail Association Sports - If you wish to fulfill your New Year’s resolution to get some more exercise why not come out and give hiking with the RTA Central Club a try? The club also encourages children to become involved with nature and to enjoy the great outdoors. On Feb. 7 at 1 p.m. club members are organizing a Family Hike at the Perth Wildlife Reserve, 100 Wildlife Road. Bring the children and introduce them to hiking in the winter. “We will have some children’s snowshoes available so they may even want to give snowshoeing a try,” wrote Mary Robinson in a press release. “Please make sure the little ones are dressed appropriately.” There will be a parking fee of $6 per vehicle for the conservation area. If you have any questions about this family event please contact our hike
leader, Dorothy Hudson, at 613-283-0332. The adult weekend hikes usually last up to six hours (including travel time) while the mid-week hikes on Wednesday are shorter and less demanding. In the winter there may also be time to snowshoe or ski, if the weather permits and in the summer the group may add a few canoe outings in addition to hikes. The meeting place for the RTA Central Club is at Conlon Farm in Perth. Hikers meet the designated hike leader there, and transportation to the trailhead is organized. Any one interested in learning more about the RTA may consult the website at: http://www.rideautrail.org. For more information about the RTA Central Club, please contact Mary Robinson at 613-2560817. Hope to see you out on the trails! Submitted by Mary Robinson.

Perth Stingrays host successful Mike Brown meet
Sports - The Perth Pool was host to the annual Mike Brown Swim meet from Jan. 9 to 11. We had nine teams and over 340 swimmers attend the meet. This was an increase of over 60 swimmers from last year. The Mike Brown meet is well known by the nearby clubs and has a reputation for great food and organization. This year’s organization lived up to the standard again! Coaches often know what kind of performances their swimmers are going to put in prior to a meet based on how they are preparing for that meet. This time, we had no idea that our swimmers were going to swim as well as they did. Most swimmers swam above and beyond our expectations. Leading off the meet was David Machan’s 400m individual medley. David took on all competitors and came out victorious in one of the
hardest swum races that I’ve seen in a long time. “Never say die” was David’s credo for the race and he came from behind on the freestyle leg to win over several older swimmers. Makayla Hopper carved almost two minutes off her previous best time in the 400 IM as well. We went eight for eight best times to start off the meet. The 800m events and 1,500m events were fun to watch as Stingray swimmers dropped time in almost every heat. Andrew Machan and Thomas MacMillan engaged in a battle for fastest 800m split on their way to dropping over two minutes between them when the race was over. A number of swimmers qualified for regionals, including: Grace Barnabe, Elizabeth Greaves, Lucas Rodgers and Liam Graham. Courtney Wren qualified for
Ontario Age Group Championships in 200m fly in an exciting race. She made the 15-year-old standard with her swim. She is only two seconds off qualifying for the Speedo Eastern Canadian Championships in February. Thomas MacMillan and Megan Wheeler made Ontario Festival standards in four and two events respectively. Andrew Machan continues to flirt with a half dozen Festival standards also. Event winners included Bailey Andison (6), Olivia Ellard (4), Liam Graham (3), Makayla Hopper (1), Andrew Machan (5), David Machan (5), Rory MacMillan (2), Thomas MacMillan (6), Lauren Miller (2), Ben Perkins (2), Megan Wheeler (5) and Courtney Wren (5). Top 3 finishes numbered 86. Best times were over 90 per cent. The meet was great. All the teams had good swims and a good time.
The weekend following the Mike Brown meet saw Andison and Ellard travel to Montréal for the 2015 Eastern Cup. The inaugural long course meet of the season. Andison placed fourth in 200m & 400m IM, fifth in 200m breaststroke and sixth in 50m breast stroke. Ellard placed fourth in 50m backstroke, sixth in 100m back stroke and eighth in 200m backstroke. That same weekend, a small group of Stingrays competed in the 2015 GO Kingfish Polar Plunge at the University of Ottawa. Top Stingray was Miller with an Ontario Age Group Championship qualifying time in 100m butterfly (1:09.11). She grabbed two gold and two silver as well. Lucas Rodgers made two more EOSA qualifying standards to punch his ticket to regionals.

PROTECT YOUR MAILBOX: Most times when mailboxes get damaged, it is because plowed snow accumulates in front of it, causing increasing weight and pressure against it over the course of the winter. It is your responsibility to keep the area around your mailbox clear of snow. Mailboxes damage by snow load off plow equipment will not be replaced by the Township. The Township will replace a damaged mailbox if the damage is deemed to result from a direct hit by plow equipment. Should your mailbox be damaged, please contact the Municipal office. An inspection and assessment will be made by the Public Works Superintendent.

Making modifications to your vehicle can come with definite risks Lifestyle – I received an email recently from a reader who had been in a collision with his subcompact import. He felt that one of the contributing factors was the close placement of the brake and gas pedals because when he applied the brake in a panic stop, his foot also contacted the gas pedal, thus, (in his opinion), reducing the effectiveness of the brakes. He contacted a manufacturer-approved service department (the company no longer sells passenger vehicles in this country) and mentioned his concern, but was told there were no recalls or bulletins regarding this issue so nothing could be done. Both he and his wife no longer felt safe operating the vehicle so he took it upon himself to modify the brake pedal to provide more space between it and the gas pedal. I reviewed the data I had access to on this particular make and model and could find no credible sources that indicated the pedal configuration was a problem or risk. Being involved in a collision (even a slight one) can jar more than the nuts and bolts of an auto or the
bones and bodies of its occupants. They can often be emotional events and can leave behind damage that no body shop will ever be able to repair. I myself have been involved in four collisions over five decades of driving and each and every one of them was caused by driving error (my own errors in three of the cases and probably the fourth as well). I never said I was a great driver. There was very little advice or information I could provide to this reader to change his mind on the safety of this vehicle but I did recommend that he return the pedals to their manufacturer’s original design, even if it meant replacing them with new units. The problem with home-modifying vehicles is that the end results have never been tested in a proper laboratory manner. I will admit that there are many vehicles on the road today that received such testing and still are collisions waiting to happen; think GM ignition switches and Takata airbag recalls for recent examples. But changing brake and gas pedal configurations represent real risks and
Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER
injuries. In the event of a severe frontal collision, engine-to-passenger compartment bulkheads and floor panels can intrude into the passenger cabin. These intrusions are often the cause of lower leg injuries. Extending a brake pedal can mean it will contact the driver’s legs in a manner never intended by the manufacturer and will very likely result in more severe injuries. Then there’s the chance that the modification might fail altogether leaving the driver’s foot planted on a disconnected brake pedal in a panic stop. On a lighter note… See CAR page 35

From page 34
“Hi Brian, I think you have discussed this before, but I don’t recall your answer. My 2005 Vibe’s plastic lenses on headlights have the signs of ageing plastic – is there any product that can clean off the layer of oxidized plastic? I have no idea how much more it would cost to have glass-covered headlights – the slight cost could be easily added to the cost of a car without anyone really noticing, it seems to me. Of
course, they might not be able to make the fancy wrap-around headlight designs with glass. Are the new halogen headlights glass or plastic?” Thanks, Up the Creek in North Elmsley There are a variety of products available at auto-parts stores to restore the shine to plastic headlamp lenses with very little effort. Two of the more popular brands are Mother’s and Meguiars (look or ask for headlamp restoration kits). The kits contain one or two grades of liquid abrasives, application
pads, and cleaning fabrics. The process involves using the abrasives to remove the top layer of plastic to restore the clarity of the lenses. There are also companies selling protective self-adhesive clear film to apply to the lamps to protect the lenses. These films will still ‘fog’ with age and exposure to the environment, but when they get too cloudy, you can simply peel them off and replace them. They can and should be applied to older lamps after restoration, because a restored lamp will become cloudy much faster
than a new one. As far as using glass, I’m afraid that material has gone the way of the fullsized spare tire in auto design. Even halogen and high-intensity discharge lamps use plastic lenses. Plastics are much lighter than glass allowing carmakers to shave off excess weight to meet ever-more stringent fuel economy standards. Plastics also allow designers to create more exotic shapes and configurations in their vehicles’ lamps. If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automo-

New Outlander is business-like and distraction free Lifestyle – The vehicles I road test for these reviews (yes, it’s a tough job, but I’m willing to make sacrifices) come from two main sources: press fleets owned by the Canadian head offices of the manufacturers and local dealerships. I prefer to use dealership units whenever possible because they more closely represent the trim and equipment level that you or I shop for, whereas press fleets are made up of fully loaded higherend models. If you are interested in learning more about any of these vehicles, check out the manufacturers’ websites or better yet, call your local dealership and speak to one of their knowledgeable staff. It’s the ultimate in interactive information gathering. The 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander I enjoyed for this review came from the friendly folks at Rivington Mitsubishi in Carleton Place. The Mitsubishi Outlander for 2015 is in its second year of a redesign, and while it’s considered a compact SUV, its interior space for cargo and passengers fall well into the mid-sized segment. Mitsubishis of late are well known for their clean lines and uncluttered body exteriors, both traits that keep them looking fresh long into their lives; a good thing considering Mitsubishi is still the warranty-leader with an amazing 10-year/160,000 km power-train coverage. The Outlander is offered in four trim/equipment levels and starts at $25,998 for the ES front-wheel drive and goes up to $39,098 for a fully-loaded GT all-wheel drive. My GT tester from Rivington Mitsubishi (only missing navigation and upgraded paint) crossed the price line at $36,198 (all prices before destination fees, dealer prep, taxes, license fees, or current incentives). The first two ES level Outlanders are powered by a 2.4 L 4-cylinder engine and the GT’s find a 3.0 L V6 under the hood mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. The V6 puts out a respectable 227 hp and with the shift patterns of the transmission

provides a very strong acceleration band. As clean and distraction-free as its exterior, the inside of the Outlander is equally businesslike but with a surprising amount of thought put into comfort and safety. Front seats are supportive and easy on the long haul and no one will feel crowded even when wearing bulky winter clothing. The third row seating is, as with most compact and mid-sized SUV’s and cross-overs, best left to the younger set, but it folds flat when not in use, providing a solid load floor for cargo and gear. The second row has a one-touch release and slide control to provide easy access to the rearmost seats and will fold flat for a class-leading 1,792 litres (63 cubic feet) of space. A power and remote operated lift-gate and low entry level makes loading and unloading a breeze.
The Outlander’s all-wheel drive system is controlled by a handy rotary switch and gives drivers four options; Eco, normal, snow, and lock. In Eco mode, power is supplied to the front wheels until wheel slippage is noted by sensors and then the rear wheels are instantly brought into play. Snow settings keep power to the rears continually and the lock setting is for off-road or county back-roads. Most SUV makers forget that their customers may actually need this type of control but Mitsubishi has always offered it in their vehicles. I lucked out and road tested the Outlander on a particularly snippy winter day giving the heating system a full workout (this is a fast warm-up creature) and having a chance to gauge the squeak and rattle level that many modern materials cause on cold days. The Outlander was as quiet as a mouse and was sure-footed, even on snow-packed roads. The power train was equally quiet, requiring more than an occasional glance at the speedometer as the legal limit can quickly be surpassed with little gas-pedal effort. Mitsubishi has traded some cosmetic features commonly found
on higher-level SUVs for the latest in safety technology. Rather than heated seats and steering wheels (we do dress for winter, don’t we?) the Outlander has lane departure warning, forward collision mitigation, and adaptive cruise control (very surprising in a mid-$30,000 vehicle). Fuel mileage for the V6 Outlander is also impressive at 11.5 L/100 km city and 8.4 L/100 km highway (24.6 mpg and 33.6 mpg respectively). Its 60 L tank should deliver a 550 km range in mixed driving and cost less than $60 to fill at $1/L. The P225/55R18 tires my tester wore are available from a large selection of manufacturers starting at $150 each. As with other vehicles in the Mitsubishi family, the Outlander is feature-laden for its price point. But they have gone one step further to package the right mix of safety, styling, and performance into a very livable transport that can go beyond simply meeting the needs of their owners. Learn to enjoy Canadian winter driving again and check out the Outlander. Yours in service, Brian Turner

FIELDING, Donald (Dick) - In loving memory of my husband who passed away Feb. 4, 2002. God made me a husband so loving and kind, And had the honour of calling you mine, I miss you more than anyone knows, As each day passes the emptiness grows, Gone are the days we used to share, But in my heart you will always be there, Everyday in some small way, Memories of you come my way, Thou absent you are very near. Still missed always, Loved & remembered Gladys
