YAK’s Queer Crew has coming out at vigil Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

They did not go gentle into that good night. But rather than rage against the dying of the light, they held it close to them, with lit candles, dozens of points of light that punctured the cold, dark night air. Down the quiet residential streets of Perth, onto the busy main thoroughfares, they marched, and remembered. It was a coming out, so to speak, for the Youth Action Kommittee’s Queer Crew, a candlelight vigil and march to remember an LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans-gendered) teen from Ohio, Leelah Alcorn, who killed herself late last year. After reading about Alcorn’s death

on social media, “it struck me as the last time we should let this happen,” said co-organizer Kai Archer, 16, before the march. “This (should be) the last time I wanted to let this happen.” Archer, 16, along with fellow Perth and District Collegiate Institute (PDCI) student Emily Richardson, 17, was determined “to do something about that,” said Archer. The two came together to establish the Queer Crew and organized this as their inaugural event. The two teens said they were overwhelmed with the support they got from the town, “to the point that we were crying,” said Richardson. “Just so overwhelmed.” Pretty much every store they approached along Gore Street East agreed

to put up a poster in their window, advertising the event. They were pleasantly surprised that the Royal Canadian Legion even took two posters. The event follows on the heels of an Ohio vigil in Alcorn’s memory, and “we got support from the organizers of the original vigil,” said Richardson, with more than 100 ribbons being sent up to Perth from Ohio. “That was the ﬁrst time we started crying,” said Richardson. Richardson also composed an original song for the vigil, in Alcorn’s memory. “It was my way of getting the emotion out,” said Richardson.

hospital’s chief of staff, during a telephone interview Monday, Feb. 9. While it is early days yet as various groups, like the Ontario Medical Association (OMA) and the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons (OCPS), digest the decision, Roney said “I am sure this will be debated in the next few months,” following an “in-depth review of the decision.” Roney said that the hospital’s ethics committee has not yet debated the issue, and that “there is no policy per se,” about doctor-assisted suicide at the hospital. “We provide the best care we possibly can to make the patient comfortable,” he

said. “I think people are looking forward to what the implications are.” Keenly aware of just how intensely emotional and personal the debate is, Roney said that, speaking for himself, “I’d prefer not to get into that right now,” when asked for his personal thoughts about doctor-assisted suicide. It appears likely that there will be some change in the law in the future and, when it comes, the local hospital Desmond Devoy/METROLAND “will look to (the college) primarily to provide us with guidance,” on end- The Youth Action Kommittee (YAK) of Perth’s Queer Crew held a candleof-life care and guidelines for doctor- light vigil and march throughout town to remember an LGBT teen from

Hospital welcomes debate on doctor-assisted suicide Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

The debate over doctor-assisted suicide will not be playing out at the ethics committee of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital any time soon. Last Friday, Feb. 6, the Supreme Court of Canada struck down the prohibition on doctors assisting terminally ill patients to end their life. Parliament has been given time by the court to come up with new legislation to deal with their unanimous decision. “We look forward to parliament reviewing this,” said Dr. Peter Roney, the

Pakenham’s singer and songwriter Delaney Grant can add a new title to her resume: Miss Teenage Lanark County. The 18-year-old was crowned at the pageant, held in Toronto on Jan. 24 and 25, and she’s already been busy in the community. “It’s been going by really fast,” said Grant. “It’s busy; it’s really busy,” said Grant’s mother, Nancy Ziebarth. “Everybody’s really happy for her, really proud of her.” Most recently, Grant sang at Heart Jam, a country music event in Carleton Place that raises funds for University of Ottawa Heart Institute. She also participated in Pakenham’s Frost Festival weekend and attended a junior hockey game to meet and greet residents. She also raised $1,500 for Cardiac Kids in support of SickKids Foundation. “I was really happy about that,” Grant said. In December, she also helped at a local fundraiser for Dunrobin youth Kaelan Carlson, who was diagnosed with Friedreich’s ataxia and featured in the Review Jan. 15. That event raised $16,000 for Friedreich’s ataxia research. “No one knows what Friedreich’s ataxia is; I decided I should tell people what it is,” said Grant. “I did that for the provincial pageant and I’m going to continue doing that for the national pageant as well.” Friedreich’s ataxia is a degenerative neuro-muscular disorder that affects one in 50,000 people in the United States. There is currently no cure and no treatment, only symptom management. “He (Kaelan) is a really special little guy in our life,” said Ziebarth. “We just really want to do whatever we can do to help that little boy and that family.” Grant said she hopes to attend more community events throughout Lanark County and people are invited to connect with her through email at delaney@delaneygrant.com, on Facebook at ‘Delaney Grant Miss Teenage Lanark County’ and on Twitter and Instagram @delaneygrant21. The national pageant will be held in August in Toronto.

Maple syrup producers planning special weekend April 4-5 Groundhog Day this year was very cold and snowy so there was no groundhog’s shadow. According to folklore it should be an early spring. Last year, the jet stream was diverted to the south and we had a very late spring. This year, the same thing is happening so, in spite of the groundhog’s forecast, unless the jet stream comes further north we will have another late spring. Regardless of the forecast, it’s time for the maple syrup producers to get ready for another season. Usually the first run of sap is in the first or second week of March. The smell of steam in the sugar camp and the taste of fresh syrup are eagerly awaited by all the people watching for that first batch to come off the evaporator. It makes the hours spent on snowshoes stringing pipe lines or carrying buckets through deep snow worthwhile. Maple syrup as many people know comes in a variety of colours and flavours. The early season syrup is usually lighter in colour with a delicate or mild flavour and is best syrup for candy and maple glazes. As the weather warms the chemistry of the sap changes, the syrup becomes

Easy pancake recipe If you are serving pancakes and maple syrup you might like to try this recipe: • 1 portion white flour • 1/2 portion whole wheat flour • 1/4 portion rolled oats • 1/4 portion cornmeal • 1 teaspoon baking powder per cup of mix • 1 egg per cup of mix • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil per cup of mix Add milk as necessary The resulting pancake has more texture and fluffier than a plain white flour pancake. Of course you also need lots of maple syrup and butter to really enjoy your pancakes. Submitted by Ray Fortune of Fortune Farms.

Late season syrup is usually dark or very dark with a robust or stronger flavor and it is especially good for cooking. Each person seems to have his or her favourite colour and flavour and producers are only too pleased to have you taste their syrup and help you make your choice. This year, 17 producers in the Lanark & District Maple Syrup Producers Association, which covers the area from Arnprior to Brockville, are holding a special Maple Weekend on April 4 and 5.

Leading men back together in Leading Ladies at Station Theatre Jamie Schoular and Robert Del Grande are back at the Station Theatre in Smiths Falls playing leading roles, recreating their comic partnership of five years ago. And the other good news is there’s still time to take advantage of the discounted ticket package offer on all six plays in the Station Theatre’s 2015 season. Besides Leading Ladies, the hilarious comedy that opens Thursday, Feb. 12, there’s an enticing mix of a mystery, a farce, another comedy, the Canadian premiere of a children’s musical and a British-style Christmas pantomime. The theatre is offering patrons an opportunity to attend all six plays for just $99. This season ticket comes in the form of a “Six-Pack Flex Pack.” Patrons can select how they want to use their six vouchers to purchase tickets to any of our six shows in the 2015 season. The deal – which is good up to the deadline of Feb. 22, the last play date for Leading Ladies—offers a saving of almost 20 per cent compared to the regular adult ticket price. Go to www.smithsfallstheatre.com for detailed information on the different ways the “Six-Pack Flex Pack” can be purchased and used throughout the next season or call the box office at 613-2830300 for assistance in purchasing the voucher package using a credit card. What better way to get started on your six-pack deal than to attend opening night of Leading Ladies, a rollicking comedy in two acts written by Ken Ludwig? Be the first to see it in your group and then pass on the good news! The play runs from Feb. 12 to 22. Matinee performances, starting at 2 p.m., are on Sunday, Feb. 15 and 22. Evening performances, starting at 7:30 p.m., are on Feb. 12, 13, 14, 20 and 21. Del Grande, who thinks of the play as “an English version of Some Like it Hot with a little Shakespeare tossed in,” plays the part of Leo, a down-on-his-luck actor who’s been performing Shakespeare in the backwoods of Pennsylvania. When he and his side-kick, Jack (played by Schoular), hear that an elderly lady

The Station Theatre in Smiths Falls premieres its latest production, Leading Ladies, this evening (Thursday, Feb. 12). It runs until Feb. 22. Robert Del Grande, left, and Jamie Schoular in a sword-fighting scene from the play. (Liz Steinberg) is about to die and leave her fortune to her two long-lost English nephews, they’re confronted with a challenge: should they pretend to be someone else and go for the gold? Jack and Leo resolve to pass themselves off as her beloved relatives and try to pick off the fortune for themselves. The fun really starts when the nephews turn out to be nieces! Switching back and forth from male to female voices, the two actors entangle

themselves in a romantic interest with the nieces, Audrey (Nicki Hayes) and Meg (Andrea Jermacans), complicated further by the intervention of two other male characters—played by Brant Daniluk and Dave Snider, who are also chasing the nieces’ affections. There’s only one person not taken in by the imposters – that’s Meg’s ﬁance Duncan (played by Richard Croteau), but he cannot convince anyone else of the possible scam. Disastrous decisions keep the action moving

Top valley artists to pay tribute to their heroes during Ottawa Valley Opry Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, June Carter, Hank Williams, Waylon Jennings and Merle Haggard will all visit Perth on Saturday, Feb. 21. These famous stars won’t be there in person but through their music, as a stellar lineup of top Ottawa Valley entertainers take to the stage at the Studio Theatre to pay tribute to America’s best-loved Grand Ole Opry performers. Ottawa Valley Opry night will showcase the talents of Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame inductees Freddy Dixon, Steve Piticco, Fred Ducharme and Peter Dawson along with keyboardist Jack Denovan, singer Arlene Quinn and drummer Terry Kittmer. Steve Piticco, a guitarist since the age of 11, is known for his distinctive sound and

style. The well-worn Fender Telecaster he has played since he was 15 has helped him earn recognition as the Canadian Country Music Association’s guitar player of the year and instrumentalist of the year many times. He will soon be heading to Germany to open for legendary rocker Bruce Springsteen. Fred Ducharme, a 2010 hall of fame inductee, is a multi-instrumentalist whose musical talents can be heard on more than a dozen CDs recorded by local artists. Peter Dawson joined the hall of fame in 1999. He began to play the fiddle at age five, and went on to serve as staff fiddler for radio station WWVA in Wheeling, West Virginia in the 1950s. Louisiana-born fiddle legend Doug Kershaw was once

Dawson’s roommate. The BC native returned to Canada in 1960, and owned and operated Ottawa’s Fiddle Factory for many years. Freddy Dixon was chosen as Entertainer of the Year by the hall of fame in 2000. He is hard at work on a new CD to be titled Them Good Ole Boys. Dixon’s career as a recording artist actually began many years ago at Trend Records,

the Peterborough record company founded in 1965 by Ottawa Valley Opry Night promoter Merv Buchanan. One of Dixon’s original compositions, Last Fatal Duel, was recorded by Stompin’ Tom Connors. Over the years he has shared the stage with other top country artists such as Lynn Anderson, Dave Dudley, George Hamilton IV, Ronnie Prophet, Dallas

Harms, Stonewall Jackson, Johnny Duncan, Bobby Bare, and Jean Shepheard. Vocalist Arlene Quinn, said Dixon, is “the queen of country music” and “a very positive life force.” Quinn

has given generously to others, and has done a lot for Ottawa Valley country music, he added. Tickets for the 8 p.m. show are available at Shadowfax, 67 Foster St in Perth, or at the door.

Community – Creating lasting change happens one person and community at a time. Recognizing the power youth have in inspiring healthy change in their communities, the Canadian Cancer Society’s Youth 4 Action grant program helps young people across Ontario lead projects that raise awareness about important health policy issues and educate community members about ways to prevent cancer. This past December, students from a Southern Ontario school decided to make a change in their community. They applied for a grant so they could inform their peers about the tactics big tobacco companies employ to market products to kids and the long-term consequences of lighting up. To deliver this message, the group organized workshops and challenged students to an anti-tobacco poster contest. The workshops exposed industry tactics and helped open students eyes. “Some students were really shocked when they found out what was actually in a cigarette,” said Sam Trewolla, one of the grant recipients. “Students didn’t seem to realize that flavourings in tobacco products was a way for the industry to lure kids to start smoking.” The project also served as a tremendous learning opportunity for the youth organizers who gained invaluable leadership experience. “I gained a lot of confidence by presenting to and teaching students,” said Quinn Purser, a grade 11 student and grant recipient. While some projects undertaken by youth focus on creating change in their school or community, others help bring about local change while also supporting provincial movements. For example, what started as a campaign to raise awareness about the harmful effects of indoor tanning in one community turned into much more. Students from a northern Ontario

Knowing that tanning was an issue that affected all Ontario youth, the organizers also decided to support provincial efforts to pass legislation on banning underage tanning by asking the public to sign petitions of support as part of their community event.

Get together with family

his Monday, Feb. 16 marks Family Day across Ontario. While most of us may think of Family Day as another day off work and opportunity to sleep in, this year, consider spending the day with loved ones as it was designed. The statutory holiday was instituted back in 2007, as a means to celebrate one’s family, but also to stave off the holiday drought between New Year’s Day and Easter. It was first introduced by former premier Dalton McGuinty, who promised that if elected, he would establish a holiday in the month of February, during the 2007 provincial election. It was decided on Oct. 12, 2007 that the first Family Day would be observed on Feb. 18, 2008, bringing the number of statutory holidays to nine per year in Ontario. Whatever the case, there are no rules when it comes to Family Day. You can do something as simple as a day spent skating on the ice (which may help work off all that Valentine’s Day chocolate!), visit art galleries or museums, enjoy an afternoon of crafting, or simply have dinner with the ones you love.

Another option to enjoy the great outdoors comes courtesy of the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH). Each year, the OFAH offers license-free ice fishing across Ontario over the Family Day weekend and this year, that will take place from Feb. 14 to 16. According to OFAH executive director Angelo Lombardo, the initiative gives those who have never tried ice fishing before to do just that. Locally, there are also a number of events to take in on Family Day, including the third annual Pond Hockey Challenge in Tay Valley Township at the Glen Tay outdoor rink; or the second annual charity Family Day Community Free Skate offered by Royal LePage Gale Real Estate in Carleton Place. Families will be invited on the ice at the Carleton Place Arena and the day will also feature a raffle and giveaways. All proceeds will go towards supporting the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation and Lanark County Interval House. Whatever you do on Family Day, make sure you surround yourself with your loved ones.

I knew was that at a very early age, my fear of a house fire had its beginning on those cold winter nights when the Findlay Oval was trying to win the battle over the icy house that never quite got warm enough to suit me. The pipes, which every fall were painted silver, snaked from the stove across the ceiling in the kitchen and then up through a hole into the hall which was my sister’s and my bedroom, took a sharp turn, and vanished into another hole into the outside wall, where supposedly, the flue was. It was in the flue, Mother knew the danger of a house fire would have its beginning. I had no idea what was inside the flue, or what it was made of, but I was sure it held our destiny in its grasp. And when Mother lamented loud and long, Father would

ever remember) the old stove was fair belching from the pile of hardwood father had crammed into the firebox. The burners were getting redder by the minute and you could smell the silver paint on the pipes. To Mother, if you could smell paint burning, a fire in the flue wasn’t far behind! That’s when Father finally thought it was time for action. Never in a rush if slower moving would do just as well, he got out of the rocking chair, laid his pipe on the floor, and went over to the wood box. The ledge at the top of the box was wide enough to hold a tin pie plate full of coarse salt. It was there for a certain purpose and it looked very much like that was the night it would

be put to use. You could take one burner off at a time on the Findlay Oval or you could use the handle and the whole top of the stove with the two burners could be lifted at once. Father lifted the iron handle, raising the top of the stove and hooking the handle to keep the stove open. The flames shot out like a bonfire, Mother yelled at we five kids to get our coats and boots on and it looked very much like her fear of the whole place going up in smoke was coming to pass! Father wasn’t the least bit excited. He took the tin plate of coarse salt, dumped it all over the burning logs in the stove, gave the plate a tap with the back of his hand and we all watched as the flames died down like a

dried up creek! Once or twice, too, when even Father thought the fire was out of control, he would put on his big leather mitts, go upstairs into our bedroom, and pull the pipes apart and dump another tin plate of salt down the pipe, set the plate on the open pipe, and bring the top pipe on top, cutting off the fire completely, and within seconds, the whole fire would go out, just as if you had blown out a match. Mother never did get over her fear of a winter house fire. Every night, without fail, she would take our winter outerwear off the hooks at the back door, lay everything out on chairs at the bottom of the stairs, with orders that, not if, but when, a fire broke out, we were to grab our clothes and head outside as fast as our legs

could carry us. And again, without fail, Father would remind her that the old house had stood for more than 100 years, the cook stove had raged all that time and the closest time we ever came to burning the place down was one summer when my Uncle Lou accidentally set fire to the back house when he tossed a cigarette down the hole. The fire did a fairly good job on the back house and singed the outside wall of the summer kitchen. The old log house didn’t suffer as much as a scratch!

The beauty of making friends on the theatre stage Molly Cooney

The Mississippi Mudds has been a part of my life since I was nine-yearsold. When I showed up for my first audition, I was extremely nervous and I couldn’t have been more surprised and happy when they called the next day and offered me a part. Over that season, I learned how much I liked theatre and the camaraderie that goes along with it. Since then, each year I have committed to auditioning to at least one play and often more. I have also become active in my school theatre and improv team. I am preparing to apply to a university drama program next year and this is all thanks to the Mississippi Mudds. Clearly the Mississippi Mudds has influenced my life drastically, but I know it has influenced the lives of so many other youth as well. Being a part of these productions gives you the opportunity to learn how to sing and act, gain confidence, make friends and have a safe place to be yourself. This is most evident on closing night when cast members shed a tear, share hugs and laughs, and thank the volunteers who help make the production possible. Some of my fellow cast members have shared with me what this theatre company means to them. Justin Beiglee, a 15-year-old who has been in the Mudds for six years, says, “I like it because it’s always a great group of kids and the shows that are picked are

It actually means a lot to me. It takes up my weeks but in a good way. I look forward to coming to the practices every week and to putting on the shows in the end, even though it’s sad when the shows are over at the end of the season”. Seventeen-year-old Emilie Ritchie,

who is in her ﬁrst year with the Mudds, says, “I really like that, especially in the youth branch, there are younger kids and older kids. This attracts younger and older audiences, like the cast members’ friends, parents, grandparents, and everyone else who likes theatre. I also like that it’s a really great acting experience that is close to home.”

Emma Andrigo is 11-years-old and in her second year with the Mudds. She says, “It’s just fun that you get to go on stage and express yourself and do it with a real set and costumes. It’s really professional and I know it is a place that I can go to and have fun and I’m not watching the clock waiting for it to ﬁnish.” Julia Harvie is 11-years-old and is

another new cast member this year. She says, “I really like acting and it’s a really good program for acting. It lets me expresses my inner self.” And lastly, let us not forget little Toto, played by Amber Humby. Amber is eight-years-old and is the youngest cast member in the play. When asked about her ﬁrst year with the Mudds, she says, “I like to act. It’s fun and I enjoy doing it.” In this year’s production, The Wizard of Oz, I have been given the chance to portray the beloved character, Dorothy, along with Callum LeRoy as the Scarecrow, Justin Beiglee as the Tin Man and Matthew Abele as the Cowardly Lion. All three of these boys are outgoing and have large personalities, contrasting my very quiet demeanour. The four of us have learned alongside one another in several productions and hope that we are modelling for younger cast member what can be accomplished in a theatre setting while having fun along the way. Over the years our relationship has grown into a friendship that I hope will show on stage. This year’s production of The Wizard of Oz runs in repertoire for six days in February – 20, 26, and 27 at 7 p.m. and Feb. 21, 22, and 28 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $10 and available at Reads Book Store on Bridge St. in Carleton Place or at the door. Molly Cooney is a member of the Mississippi Mudds.

New community suicide prevention protocol introduced into Catholic school board The following are highlights from the regular Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) meeting held Feb. 3 at the board ofﬁce in Kemptville. A new Community Suicide Prevention, Intervention and Risk Review (SPIRR) Protocol, has been developed by a joint committee of community partners, led by the CDSBEO. The protocol is a collaborative response for children and youth in crisis, and will assist school boards and community partners to take active, consistent and collaborative steps to link students who pose a risk of suicide to community partners, and to ensure the safety and well-being of all of our children and youth. Previously, the CDSBEO has developed a Violence Threat Risk Assessment (VTRA) Protocol, which has been extremely beneﬁcial in responding to, and eliminating threats of violence in board schools. The new SPIRR protocol will assist in providing a coordinated response to identify, intervene,

and support children and youth at risk of suicide. Trudy Rook, behaviour crisis consultant, and Michelle Neville, mental health lead, presented the details of the new protocol to the board. Developed in collaboration with community partners, the protocol helps to ensure a community effort and response when a student is in crisis. “This protocol helps to define how we can communicate and share relevant information. Communication is a key piece of the protocol, and one which helps to ensure adequate supports to those in crisis, as well as sufficient follow-up, and aftercare,” Rook explained. “Three stages of activation and a continuum of supports and interventions are identified in the document, along with an overview of risk alerts and identifiers which may be characteristic of those presenting with suicidal behaviours and ideation,” added Neville. “In addition, the protocol outlines the components of prevention, including

education and training, intervention guidelines, and post-vention plans.” Specialized training programs, such as SafeTALK provided to all secondary teachers and staff, and Applied Suicide Interventions Skills Training (ASIST), which has been provided to 143

board and school staff, including SSWs, chaplains, mental health lead teachers, and administrators. Giving staff the tools to work with students, and make them feel comfortable asking students the right questions is a signiﬁcant piece in the response. In addition, this training allows staff to be able to

accurately identify and respond to the risk, as well as help with a student’s return to school. The most recent additions to the protocol surround changes to include the urgent care component, to ensure that the board is able to facilitate urgent care access for youth in crisis. Through partner-

ships with CHEO (Ottawa) and Hotel Dieu Hospital (Kingston), students in crisis have access to programs through direct referrals which can be made by the board, and information can be shared between the school/board and urgent See CDSBEO page 8

Regional internal audit risk assessment update The CDSBEO is a member of the Ontario East Region Internal Audit function along with nine other school boards in eastern Ontario. The focus of the Regional Internal Audit Team (RIAT) is to assess the board’s inherent and residual risk, to develop a risk based audit plan for the board, and to focus internal audit resources in areas of greatest risk among each of the nine boards. The team will then report to the board’s audit committee on the results, along with recommendations for improvement. Superintendent of business, Bonnie Norton, presented information to the board regarding the Regional Internal Audit Team’s requirement to update the board’s risk assessment. “The key to an efficient and effective internal audit function is to allocate services using a risk-based approach. Risk management practices provide the forum to establish the optimum level of oversight, control and discipline enabling the board to manage risk, and help to provide the proper level of assessment that measures whether or not program/service delivery objectives are being met,” explained Norton. The risk assessment update focuses on the functional areas of instruction and schools, facilities, human resources, and information technology. “The updated assessment will be presented to the audit committee for their review and will inform the board’s audit plan for the next three years,” noted Norton. The risk assessment update was conducted during the month of January 2015, with results expected to be presented to the audit committee sometime later in February 2015.

According to Judy Tennant, executive director of the Parrot Partner, parrots are subjected to more exploitation than any other group of birds. They are the longest lived of any pet, aside from tortoises, but because they are not domesticated, they are not provided support through SPCAs, and because they are not native, they are not provided help through wild bird sanctuaries. Their native habitats are being destroyed, in part for palm oil

Churchill still fascinates 50 years after his death There’s no question his descendant Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill is the most famous person interred in the extensive family plot at Bladon. The number of people who make pilgrimages to his grave, within sight of the pinnacles of Blenheim Palace, provides ample proof of his incredible life story and enduring legacy. My wife and I have been there three times. Twice with coach tour groups and once following a visit to Blenheim Palace with friends from West Yorkshire. Personal favourite Churchill is my favourite character from modern history. I have visited all of the major sites he was associated with, including his country home ‘Chartwell’ in the picturesque County of Kent, southeast of London. In recent days Churchill’s name and his truly remarkable life have once again been in the news as Great Britain and the world marked the 50th anniversary of his death. The actual anniversary date was Saturday, Jan. 24. To be honest I hadn’t thought about the anniversary until neighbour and friend Duncan Rogers, the long-time Carleton Place town clerk, loaned me some personal memorabilia about Churchill on Jan. 23. At the time Duncan’s late grandmother in England gathered some written material and forwarded it to his mother in Carleton Place. Included is a copy of the Times of London published the day after Churchill’s passing. It, along with the other booklets and magazines, made fascinating reading. Thank you, Duncan. I have always been a student of the Second World War and whether you agree or not, it is Churchill who gets major credit for leading Britain to victory over Nazi Germany. He died at his home in Hyde Park Gate, Central London, following a stroke on Jan. 24, 1965 at age 90. The depth of feeling for him was evident on the 50th anniversary of his passing. Those Britons who lived through the Second World War were again high in their praise of the man and the grit he showed while leading Britain through one of its darkest periods. A day of events was held in the British capital on Jan. 30 to mark the 50th anniversary of Churchill’s state funeral which, at the time, was the largest ever held in the world. Current British Prime Minister David Cameron laid a wreath at the foot of Churchill’s statue in the Members’ Lobby of the House of Commons. During a tour of Westminster (the British Parliament) I have seen the statue which, inter-

Reflections By Jeff maguire

estingly, is still touched for good luck by every Conservative MP entering the Commons to this day. During a service of remembrance Cameron called Churchill “a great leader and great Briton. If there is one aspect of this man I admire more than any other – it is Churchill the patriot.” Sir Nicholas Soames, the son of Churchill’s youngest child Mary (she died last May at age 91), said the events at Westminster were “a fitting tribute” to his grandfather and “a strong reminder of all he did for his country.” Churchill’s granddaughter Emma Soames (sister of Nicholas) told the BBC, “To me growing up he was a grandfather. But I came to realize at his death that he was so much more than that.” Churchill began his career in the army and he also worked as a journalist during the Boer War in South Africa. He was captured and made a prisoner of war, but managed to escape. He was First Lord of the Admiralty twice including the early days of both world wars. Churchill was first elected to Parliament in 1900 and served for more than half a century. He held several key government posts before succeeding Neville Chamberlain as PM on May 10, 1940. Churchill lost power in the July 26, 1945 general election but remained the leader of the opposition. In October 1951 he was again elected Prime Minister, serving until his resignation on April 6, 1955. He remained an MP until shortly before his death. A prolific author, in 1953 he won the Nobel Prize for literature. I own and have read many of his books including a massive sixvolume set on the Second World War. Ottawa connection I first became interested in Churchill when my mother told me about seeing him in person leaving the Chateau Laurier Hotel in downtown Ottawa in 1952, the same year I was born. “He flashed his famous V for victory,” my Mum recalls. It was in the Chateau Laurier that famed Ottawa-based photographer, the late Yousuf Karsh, took the iconic portrait of Churchill following his speech to the Canadian Parliament on Dec. 30, 1941. The scowling image (Karsh irritated Churchill by removing the ever present cigar from his mouth) is said to be the most reproduced

photographic portrait in history. On Saturday, Jan. 30, 1965 my mother and I watched Churchill’s state funeral on television. We were part of a global TV audience of 350 million, approximately one-tenth of the population of the world at the time. It’s estimated that one million mourners lined the route of the funeral procession in London while 25 million residents of the UK (just less than half the population) saw the service on television. My most vivid memory of the funeral is when Churchill’s casket, with the Union Jack draped around it, was borne along the River Thames in Central London by the motor vessel Havengore.

As the barge passed the London docks, the crane operators lowered their jibs (booms) in an act of synchronized reverence. Today those docks are gone, replaced by luxury hotels and condominiums. Following the funeral service, attended by the Queen and Prince Philip, at St. Paul’s Cathedral the casket was transported on a special train to Bladon and the interment service in St. Martin’s church yard where he had asked to be buried. There is an often repeated fallacy about Churchill’s ﬁnal resting place. Many people erroneously believe he is buried in Westminster Abbey. There’s a memorial stone in the abbey which I think is at the root of the confusion.

An interesting fact is that Winston and Clementine were married in smaller St. Margaret’s Church Westminster Abbey, located on the grounds of the much larger structure. St. Margaret’s is where my late maternal grandmother Beatrice Watson (nee Hardy) was baptised. Nearby is the Churchill Museum located beside the underground Cabinet War Rooms where Churchill chaired meetings during the darkest days of the Second World War. If you’re a Churchill fan like me, it’s a must! If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at jeffrey.maguire@rogers.com.

The tour buses glide into the village, past residents who barely take notice because it is such a common occurrence, repeated daily year after year. Once the driver has navigated the narrow road and found a safe place to set down his passengers, the door opens. The visitors alight, tentatively crossing the street before making their way along a laneway opposite. They’re headed toward a church that would be difﬁcult to see from the road if it wasn’t for the steeple standing tall and proud. St. Martin’s is the parish church of Bladon-with-Woodstock, England. It’s located in the tiny village of Bladon, Oxfordshire, population 750, near the larger town of Woodstock and just six and a half miles (10.5 kilometres) from the famous university city of Oxford. Like so many of Britain’s beautiful, historic churches St. Martin’s would probably function in relative obscurity if it weren’t for the presence of a particular family plot in the cemetery that dominates the churchyard. The plot is that of the SpencerChurchill family whose ancestral home, sprawling Blenheim Palace, is located within the parish of St. Martin’s. One grave in the SpencerChurchill plot is the reason so many tour buses and visitors descend on tiny Bladon. The grave is that of Sir Winston Churchill, Great Britain’s famous war-time Prime Minister and his wife Clementine. The great man was born at Blenheim Palace on Nov. 30, 1874. His American-born mother, Lady Randolph Churchill (nee Jennie Jerome) delivered her son two months prematurely during a weekend hunting party at the Blenheim estate, home of the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough. Of all Churchill’s accomplishments in life and they are considerable it is probably fair to say what made him most proud was his birthplace and ancestry. His paternal grandfather John Winston Spencer-Churchill (1822-1883) was the 7th Duke of Marlborough. Queen Anne created the peerage in 1702 in honour of British military leader John Churchill (1650-1722). John Churchill is acknowledged to be one of the greatest generals in European history. It was his victory at Blenheim, in Bavaria, Germany in August 1704, (one of the great battles of the Spanish War of Succession) that cemented his place in British history. The construction of Blenheim Palace was intended as a reward for the 1st Duke’s military successes.

photographic record of the natural world. A passionate and insightful observer of birds (and many wild creatures) since childhood, in addition to his work in the Carleton biology department, Runtz educates and inspires the public to learn about the natural world; for example in his role as co-ordinator of the annual Pakenham-Arnprior Christmas Bird Count and his long-standing volunteer involvement, currently as president, with the Macnamara Field Naturalists Club. Runtz states: “Rachel Carson was instrumental in preventing deadly insecticides from killing millions of birds. But today many other threats exist, some equally as insidious as DDT. This highly vi-

sual presentation will examine a few of the challenges that currently face our bird populations.” Runtz refers of course to Rachel Carson, author of the 1962 book Silent Spring which ﬁrst brought to the world’s attention, the startling facts about environmental damage (particularly to birds) caused by pesticides. Birds continue to be threatened, but which threats would Michael Runtz consider the most important for birds today: environmental toxins both new and old? Habitat loss? Introduced predators? Other threats?

August heat will melt February freeze this week at Full Circle Theatre August: Osage County is Tracy Lettsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Pulitzer Prize winning comedy about family, the highly dysfunctional Weston family of Osage County, Oklahoma, in fact. Three generations come together when the patriarch of the family goes missing and we then follow them through a week of family fun, feuds and ďŹ stďŹ ghts. With a cast of 13, there are many layers to this family and playwright Letts takes the time to explore them. In three acts, he takes you from hi-

larity to tears â&#x20AC;&#x201C; many times. Make no mistake, though: this is a comedy; you will laugh out loud, but then ask yourself whether you should have. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the remarkable thing about the play: it makes you laugh at many things, and then makes you question why you just laughed. And then, it does it again, and again. August: Osage County is one of the most honoured plays of the past decade, hailed by the London Telegraph as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the ďŹ rst great American

play of the new century.â&#x20AC;? It won nearly every major dramatic award to be had on its 2008 debut and continues to be praised with each new production. BarnDoor Productions, who have in the past taken on challenges ranging from their sold-out production of Michael Fraynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farce Noises Off to their critically acclaimed outdoor production of William Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hamlet, have laid a huge challenge before their cast: to make this intense, sometimes dark play entertaining and satisfying. With experience ranging from ďŹ rst performances to professional background, the company have pulled together and brought a show that is bristling with energy and excitement to the stage. Allison Graham, from Smiths Falls, and Karen Bernique from Gillies Corners, take on the roles of matriarch Violet and daughter Barbara. While every character has a chance to tell their story, it really centres on those two characters, looking at the relationship between mother and daughter, the squeeze of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;sandwichâ&#x20AC;? generation looking after children and parents, and the ďŹ nal choices that must be made.

BarnDoor Productions is landing the hottest play of the winter squarely on the stage at Full Circle Theatre, beginning this Friday, Feb. 13 at 8 p.m. August: Osage County is going to melt some of this February freeze with an intense, engrossing and entertaining comedy that is shaping up to be one of BarnDoorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best ever â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and when you consider that includes 98 other productions over nineteen and a half seasons, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s saying something.

choices that are made in this play are as surprising as the circumstances that lead to them. The play does include strong language, but in such a way that it falls so naturally into the show that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t notice it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; until Letts wants you to, when you will laugh until you suddenly stop. And that is the brilliance of August: Osage County: itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just like real life. So, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re as cold as we are, the Full Circle Theatre is the place to be this weekend and next, as BarnDoor Productions puts a blow-torch to the February ice. It may just heat you up enough to get through the rest of the winter! August: Osage County runs Feb. 13, 14, 19, 20 and 21 at 8 p.m., Feb. 15 and 22 at 2 p.m. at the groundlevel, barrier-free Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig Street, Perth, near Last Duel Park.

In compliance with bylaws that state that executive members can only serve on the Champions board for six years, outgoing Interim President Bill Loshaw welcomed the foundation’s new members, and recognized outgoing members at a meeting Jan. 22. “We certainly appreciate all that our outgoing members have done for Champions for Kids throughout the years,” Loshaw said. “The foundation has leveled the playing ﬁeld for many children, youth and families, and it will continue to serve as an antipoverty strategy in the years to come. There is a strong belief in the value and work of the foundation, and I sincerely thank those who have been a part of the organization since our inception.”

First races underway for Calabogie’s competitive ski racers The Calabogie Ski Racing Team has sped into a new race season, with their first races under their belts. The U16 group debuted on Jan. 17 with a Giant Slalom (GS) race at Mont Ste. Marie, QC. There were definitely some nervous jitters to work out: four of the six girls crashed on one of their runs, while two hung on to finish. Jenna Wissing (Kanata) was 22nd and Eve Yantha (Combermere) was 26th. The boys fared better – Sam Duff (Pembroke) zipped into 4th with Nick Caves (Barrhaven) in 5th and Alex Duff (Pembroke) rounding out the Top Ten in 7th. Tarik Hamrouni (Barrhaven) was 12th, Casey Williams (Rankin) 22nd, Connor Maclean (Manotick) 25th, Jack Hamilton (Ottawa) 29th, and Liam Maclean (Manotick) 34th. Jake Yantha (Combermere) and Aiden Keuninckx (Perth) each had one solid run but wiped out on the other. Having released the first-race nerves, the next day’s Slalom race at Mont Cascades was considerably better. The girls redeemed themselves with Lauren Campbell-Brunke (Renfrew) finishing a respectable 12th, Grace Gaffney (Deep River) 24th, Eve 28th, Jessica Earle (Greely) 30th, and Jenna 34th. Sam and Alex did double duty, finishing 4th and 7th again, and Nick squeaked into the Top Ten with a 9th place finish. Tarik was close behind in 11th, while Jake came 16th. Casey carved into 21st, and brothers Connor and Liam stayed tight with 25th and

Connor Allen of Manotick spent some time in third place after the first run but fell on the second which left him in 23rd place. 26th places. Jack came 31st, and Aiden, despite a strong showing on the ﬁrst run, DNFed on the second. Calabogie’s lone U18 competitor, Aylen Ferguson of Carp, ﬁnished 32nd in her Slalom race at Mont Gabriel, QC. The U14 gang kicked off their race series with a Slalom at Vorlage, QC Jan. 17. It was a solid start to the season. The boys rocked the course: Sean

Swayze (Braeside) finished just off the podium in 6th, and Jack Alexander (Carp) came 8th despite a bobble on one run. Luke Hansen (Renfrew), Lucas Zohr (Eganville), Wesley Matthews (Calabogie), and Owen Barr (Carp) all attained top twenty finishes, coming 14th, 15th, 18th, and 20th, respectively. Connor Allen (Manotick) was sitting in 3rd place after the first run, but fell on the second,

recovered, and finished 23rd. James Gaffney (Deep River), Tyler Lefebvre (Calabogie), Sam Alexander (Carp), and Ryan Geddie (Kanata) were 34th, 35th, 36th, and 37th. Tyler and Sam both had to fight back after missing gates and having to hike on their first runs. Eric Davidson (Burnstown) made his ski racing debut, finishing 46th in his first ever race. Meanwhile, for the girls, Kasey Keyes (Barrhaven)

carved into 42nd, and Tess Schreider (Kingston) had one clean run and one DNF. The next day dawned bright and early at Mont Ste Marie, where the team prepared for a GS race. Tess completed two clean runs for a 22nd place, while Kasey jumped up ten spots to 32nd. Most of the boys skied well too: Lucas, Wes, Owen and Luke stayed tight in 11th,12th, 13th, and 14th, while James and Ryan achieved a respectable 32nd and 36th. Eric completed his first two GS runs ever to land in 43rd. However, Sean, Connor, Tyler, and Jack blew up on at least one run, in some cases spectacularly! Calabogie Racing’s two youngest groups had successful first appearances. The U12 group skied on home territory with a Panel Slalom at the Peaks. Arnprior resident Bailey Stonham’s ski racing debut saw her land in 13th place. Carly Alexander (Carp), bouncing back after a serious leg injury last season, carved into 20th. Tori Cotter (Ottawa) was 47th. Kate Keuninckx (Perth), also tackling her first-ever ski race, skied a great run but missed a gate on the 2nd. The boys sped to a great start: Jeremy Van Grunsven (Odessa) picked up a 4th place ribbon, while Carson Lefebvre (Calabogie) was just off the podium in 6th place. Alex Wroe (Burnstown) was right behind in 7th and Wyatt Campbell-Brunke (Renfrew) landed in 10th despite crashing on the first run! Thys Blok (White Lake) sped into 11th, Kanata’s Jack Carnahan (in his inaugural Cana-

dian race) was 17th and Aidan Maclean (Manotick) was 25th. Noah Matthews (Calabogie) did not finish his first run but skied a solid second run. The athletes then travelled to Mont Ste. Marie for a GS. Carly was a strong finisher for the girls, coming in 21st. Bailey and Kate both crashed on icy patches on the first run, but rallied on the second. Jeremy hit the podium with a 2nd place finish, with Carson doubling his 6th places. Thys was 11th again, Alex 12th, Jack 19th, and Aidan 31st. Noah was sitting in 9th following his first run, but spun out in the second. The little U10s topped the podium with a Slalom at Camp Fortune January 18. Louise Stonham (Arnprior) and Thomas Carnahan (Kanata) both snagged gold medals in their races. Nicole Duff (Pembroke) picked up a 5th place ribbon, while Philip Lungu (Ottawa) almost cracked the Top Ten. Riley Cotter (Ottawa) skied to 16th, Kaylum Whelan (Barrhaven) to 23rd, and Bennett Van Barr (Kinburn) to 32nd. Jan. 31 – Feb. 1 was a busy time for the club as the races continued. The U16s travel to Camp Fortune for a Slalom, while the U14s ski both Slalom and Kombi (a combination of slalom and GS). Meanwhile, the U10s and U12s have journeyed all the way to Quebec City to participate in Quebec’s largest ski race – Defi Alpin du Carnaval at Le Relais Ski Hill. These race results will be coming soon. The race season is certainly off to a good start!

Local MPP Steve Clark spoke about Did you know there’ s national Kemptville College during deputation and international news on our website? Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

MPP for Leeds Grenville Steve Clark gave a deputation at the Jan. 26 North Grenville Council meeting. “It’s a pleasure for me to be back in front of the North Grenville Council,” said Clark. He congratulated council on their electoral success and wished all the members a happy New Year. “I’m here because of the Kemptville College report,” said Clark. “The province has said they will respond by the end of this month (January).” He explained the Minister of Agriculture, Jeff Leal, would be visiting the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville on Jan. 29, at a round table meeting for young farmers. “I plan on seeing the minister and getting more information regarding the Kemptville College,” said Clark.

He took the opportunity to thank members of the North Grenville municipal staff on behalf of his own staff, for their diligence and hard work regarding the situation surrounding the Kemptville College. “I want to let you know how much we value the relationship between our staff and yours,” said Clark. He explained the North Grenville staff are always quick to work with his staff. “I would like to thank you tonight,” said Clark. He extended an invitation to the members of council regarding the Good Roads conference at the end of February 2015, for usage of his office at Queen’s Park in Toronto. “My office is your office,” said Clark. “If you need administrative resources, my doors are always open.” He said if members of council do attend the conference, he would be happy to host them there. “I want to make sure you know that I am in

this for the long haul, with regards to the Kemptville College,” said Clark. “If the province makes a commitment, then I am there for you.” He said the Kemptville College could take many forms moving into the future and he hopes the province will support the municipality in this matter.“I just want to congratulate you,” said Clark. He explained the need for agricultural education to meet jobs needs in Eastern Ontario. “We need the inﬂux of money in the educational portfolio,” said Clark. “Financial support needs to come from the province.” David Gordon, Mayor of North Grenville and Warden of the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville, said he would also be attending the roundtable meeting of young farmers and looked forward to talking to Leal. “Hopefully good things will come of it,” said Gordon.

(Tuppence Middleton) and Titus are royalty in the universe. They’re life spans are measured in millenniums, they own planets, and they are in fact human. The Abrasax family is in the business of seeding planets with life, and then harvesting them when they’re ripe. They’ve taken an interest in Jupiter because she’s the exact genetic reincarnation of the matriarch of the Abrasax family. As such she’s not only royalty, but she can lay claim to the Earth. Which is why Balem wants her dead. He intends to harvest the Earth at any cost. Jupiter is thrust into a world of danger and deceit. As events unfold there’s only one thing that becomes clear. The fate of the Earth is completely in her hands. The Wachowski’s deﬁnitely know their Frank Herbert. Intentional or not Jupiter Ascending felt

very much like Dune. The machinations of the rival siblings, the quest for immortality, the desperate need for a near mystical element all reminded me very much of Dune. Though to be fair I’d say the Wachowski’s were inspired by, and not just retelling their own version of Dune. There’s no mistaking their unique style and vision. This ﬁlm is visually breathtaking. Of course it’s not just the visuals that are good. Douglas Booth, Tuppence Middleton and Eddie Redmayne manage to capture that

MOVIE: Jupiter Ascending STARRING: Mila Kunis, Channing Tatum, Sean Bean, Douglas Booth, Tuppence Middleton and Eddie Redmayne DIRECTOR: Andy Wachowski and Lana Wachowski RATING: PG The Wachowski siblings don’t just create worlds they create entire realities. Their movies are a complete emersion of the senses, and a disturbing twist on reality. Like the rest of us, Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis) believed the human race originated on Earth. When aliens start trying to kill her she learns the truth. One day she’s cleaning toilets, and the next she’s being saved by Caine (Channing Tatum) a human/wolf hybrid. Caine was sent to ﬁnd her by Titus Abrasax (Douglas Booth). Titus is the youngest of three siblings. Balem (Eddie Redmayne), Kalique

East coast’s Dave Gunning entertains at the Full Circle Theatre Feb. 25 East coast singer-songwriter will be live at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre for one show only Wednesday, Feb. 25 at 8 p.m. There are stories that wash over you like a tide, and then there are stories that grab you by the heart. Gunning has made a point of finding the latter and wrapping them up in song since he broke upon the Canadian music scene in 1997. The Pictou County, Nova Scotia born and bred singer-songwriter and working class hero has built up from humble beginnings to a point where his name is regularly included in conversation with artists such as David Francey, James Keelaghan, Ron Hynes, Stan Rogers, Bruce Cockburn and Gordon Lightfoot. Writing from a sonic menu that includes flavors of Irish, Scottish, folk and country music styles, Dave transcends genre with songs that fill your senses and touch your soul. “Gunning’s songs give voice to the downtrodden and salute the pride and values of hard working people. Gunning has emerged over the last 15 years

as one of the defining voices of East coast songwriting, joining the forces of Stan Rogers and John Allan Cameron as chroniclers of life on the right coast,” according to Penguin Eggs. A seasoned performer and entertainer, Dave has toured extensively both solo and with his band performing to sold-out venues, festivals, house concerts and theatres throughout Canada, US, UK, Ireland, Denmark, Australia and in Afghanistan, entertaining the troops. Engaging and charismatic, Dave’s magnetic gift of captivating

East coast singer-songwriter Dave Gunning will entertain one-night only at the Full Circle Theatre in Perth on Wednesday, Feb. 25. Submitted photo

Smiths Falls Horticultural Society kicks off tenth year Feb. 17 The next meeting of the Smiths Falls Horticultural Society is at the Smiths Falls Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 95 at 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 17. Once again we are welcoming everyone to attend. Admission is free for guests attending this meeting. Many of our current members joined after attending one meeting and this one is free so please pay a visit if you wish to learn more about the society. Memberships for 2015 are also available for new members as well as renewals for current members. The cost remains the same at $10 per individual, $15 for family residing at the same residence and $10 for any corporate members. Don’t forget to invite your friends and neighbours.

We have a great line-up of monthly speakers beginning with one of our members, Jeanne Dagley. Jeanne ranks at the top in both knowledge and expertise in all things growing. She has a passion for herbs, both in growing and utilizing them in recipes. This month she will delight us with her topic “Growing with your Garden”. Shake off the winter blues and come out to garner some insight into keeping your gardens growing with you. The annual monthly photo contest starts at this meeting. The rules for scoring have been revised. Points are awarded as follows; first four points, second three, third two, all other entries one point. The theme for February is “Icy/Frosty” and March is “Say ‘So Long’ to Winter”. Rules for us are basically the sizes as stated and no

Smiths Falls Horticultural Society ID visible. Photos must be first time entries and taken by the member. A second contest, Déjà vu is being held as well. Four photos of a garden or landscape are to be taken at the same location in the early parts of April, June, August and October. Brian Bellevue has volunteered to conduct this year’s contest and encourages everyone to share their fantastic photos at our meetings. There is another opportunity to participate in the District 2 photo contest. The rules and topics are available at: hhtp://www. gardenontario.org. Select “Dis-

tricts”, then “District 2” and finally “District 2 2015 Photo Competition Deadline March 31, 2015”. The theme for our flower shows this year is “Fairy Tales”. We begin this month with “Three Blind Mice” – Houseplants with sensory features (touch, smell, taste). This was a hit last year. Many unusual plants were displayed, causing both awe and envy. We encourage everyone to show their pride and joy. There is a people’s choice vote for the favourite plant. Points will be awarded towards the annual flower show contest. Our yearbook was prepared once again by Hope Bell and contains everything for the upcoming year as well as a section on the highlights of all of our activities in 2014. Please go through it so that you will

be aware of what is coming up, what you can participate in, who our sponsors are and the benefits of being a member including which merchants offer discounts to members. When shopping just ask if the merchant participates. A special section has been included showing our history as we celebrate our tenth year as the renewed Smiths Falls Horticultural Society. Some of the original members are still active and enjoying meeting, learning and sharing their experiences. A special treat will be a large cake to commemorate our anniversary. We have a good number of door prizes courtesy of Graham Wilson Automotive of Jasper. Refreshments are available as well supplied by members who volunteer on a rotating basis.

– ADVERTORIAL –

This year, Perth Golf Course is celebrating its 125th anniversary, making it one of Canada’s oldest golf courses, but it is far from tired! With the desire to bring the absolute best experience it could to long-time golfers and visitors to the prettiest town in Ontario, the four owners at Perth reached out to golf management experts Thunderbird Management Services Inc. (TMSI) in Ottawa to help make sure the start of the next 125 years is going in the right direction. Jim Baxter, Tim Lee, David Trick and Mark Beveridge are still on board, but will be stepping away from the day-to-day operations of the golf course and relying on TMSI to lead the way. However, many familiar faces will still be part of the team TMSI has assembled to make every visitor to the club feel welcome and part of the Perth Golf Club family. “TMSI has a proven track record of improving the golf facilities it manages, while also being very mindful of the needs of its long-time members and guests,” says Lee. In the clubhouse, Sue Closs will still be overseeing the administrative duties and helping answer member questions. Stacie Beveridge is back again ensuring you have a great experience on the course, relaxing in the Spike Lounge or

on the patio, and Don Smith is returning as the club’s chef. Finally, Travis Smith will be returning as the club’s assistant golf professional, with an expanded role. On the course maintenance side of things, Chris Drummond will be back to ensure the golf course remains in the superior condition members and guests have come to expect. While little appears to have changed out front at Perth Golf Club in 2015, TMSI is making moves behind the scenes that will improve the overall golf experience for every customer. Membership and green fee prices have been adjusted to reflect the Perth and area marketplace, making the club more affordable for everyone. New programs have been developed to provide discounts to members and frequent players at the club such as the Trail Pass for power cart users and the Flex Pass for cottagers or those not ready to make the commitment to full membership. Members at Perth for 2015 will have access to each of the properties managed by TMSI at a discounted rate. For example, Perth members will receive 40 percent off green fees at eQuinelle – which has been voted by the readers of Flagstick Golf Magazine as Ottawa’s best-conditioned course for the last four years. The value of the membership has never been better, as TMSI gives golfers access to some of the best places to play and practice in the Ottawa area. TMSI brings with it a long history of sports and golf management experience. It currently owns and/or manages a variety of properties including eQuinelle in Kemptville, Thunderbird Sports Centre in Kanata, and the Superdome at Ben Franklin Park and Superdome Sports Centre in Ottawa – home to two of Canada’s largest indoor golf ranges through the winter. “We believe the poten-

tial for Perth Golf Course is virtually limitless,” says Rob Knights, the VicePresident of Operations and Business Development for TMSI. “We know Perth has a long-standing tradition in the Ottawa Valley, and we’re committed to continuing this tradition.” TMSI is also working with club staff to develop tournament packages for all sizes of golf tournaments, family/group outings and corporate events to provide better value. Staff is eager to work with you to book and organize your golf tournament to make it one to remember for all participants. Everyone is encouraged to checkout

Come out to the course and get involved!

Woes of under-using a vehicle, more winter driving tips carbon build-up can lead to uneven or rough engine idling and hesitation on acceleration. Exhaust parts suffer because water (a by-product of burning fuel in an internal combustion engine) accumulates in higher quantities and can react with other fuel components to become corrosive. Carbon build-up can be treated with fuel-injection system cleaners applied by your local service professional. Gas tank additives alone won’t really clear things out. Unfortunately there is no cleaning system for your vehicle’s exhaust save a highway run until the clouds of tailpipe steam are reduced to short wisps. Most automakers drill a hole at the lowest point of the rear mufﬂer face to help reduce the amount of water buildup. Make sure your service tech checks to ensure it isn’t blocked by debris when the car’s in for regular checkups. You’ve got to lube it to move it. Disc brake caliper and brake pad tracks require more service with certain low-use vehicles to keep things moving. Sitting vehicles’ brake rotors can rust quickly but with proper driving techniques these components can still provide a reasonable service life. When taking out the chariot for a spin after several days or weeks of sitting, be gentle on the brakes and be aware of surrounding trafﬁc and road conditions to avoid panic stops. The brake noise (squealing and light grinding) should wear off in a few miles as the linings rub off the sur-

face rust on the rotors. It would be best to have the brakes properly inspected at least twice a year to ensure even lining wear and to clean and lubricate the appropriate mechanical parts of the brake components as required. Parking brake systems can take the brunt of negative side effects of extended-parked vehicles. Make sure to apply and release that brake several times during a rare outing to keep it operational. Tires and suspension systems. In extreme cases, long-sitting autos can develop unusual wear on tires caused by them sitting on one particular section of tread-face. If a tire becomes deformed in this manner, there’s not much of a cure besides replacement. Be sensitive to any new wheel vibrations and if the rims aren’t packed with snow and ice, you might need to have your tires checked. Suspension arms and joints can also reach early graves due to sitting and supporting the dead weight of a vehicle. For this reason many auto collectors mount their heritage vehicles on jack stands to prevent both tire and sus-

pension failures. It’s a time consuming process and not recommended for vehicles unless they’re going into prolonged seasonal storage. Even over inflating the tires, which won’t completely alleviate the tire flat spots, isn’t much of an alternative. And of course having to reset the pressure each and every time the vehicle is driven is another pain in the rear. Beware monthly sales report bulletins. At the beginning of every month in the financial sections of just about every media source you’ll find a sound bite or paragraph about different auto companies bragging about their year-over-year increase in sales. These releases usually report the increases in percentage-gains form and are used heavily in attempts to attract consumer interest. But these reports for all their glowing numbers really don’t provide any information on how well or poorly an automaker is doing. Small volume players such as certain European makes can post impressive percentage gains until you consider they may have only grown their business by 50 or 70 vehicles sold. And vehicles makers that post small decreases may be coming off a particularly exceptional year and they aren’t suffering from any negative market change. The report to pay attention to is a market-share report. This takes raw sales numbers and puts them in the perspective of exactly how much of the total market was captured by each and

every company. Desrosiers Automotive Consultants Inc provides just such a monthly report and it can be found at www.desrosiers.ca. So far this year, in terms of market share, the leaders in order are; FCA 18.2 per cent (Fiat Chrysler Auto), Ford 14.7 per cent, General Motors 11.7, Toyota 10.3 per cent, and Hyundai 6.9 per cent with Honda close behind at 6.6 per cent. It also highlights the uniqueness of the Canadian market. For example, Toyota and Volkswagen are the number one and two automakers respectively on a global basis yet only ranked 4th and 10th here last year. We are still in love with our trucks, SUV’s, minivans, and crossovers as this group outdid passenger cars in 2014 in a 62 per cent vs. 38.3 per cent share race. Where is your favourite carmaker in the rankings? If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, [By email to emc@perfprint.ca or directly to bjoeturner@hotmail.com listing ‘Question for the Car Counsellor’ on the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 65 Lorne St., P.O.

A substantial portion of auto repair garage business is caused by the underuse of the vehicle. Autos of any size, make, and heritage are prone to a whole host of problems arising from infrequent or short trip use, especially in our wild winter environments. This segment of consumers experiences more frequent break-downs and repair bills in general. From discharged batteries, seized brake components, noisy suspensions, to prematurely rusted exhausts and engine operation difficulties our fowl weather is no friend to fair-weather drivers. Not all is gloom and doom as there are some easy ways to keep these low-mileage units humming. Keep it charged. I’ve covered this in early winter driving tips, so I’ll keep it short here. If your once-or twicea-week outing is taking a toll on your vehicle’s battery with slow or no crank conditions, you and your ride might benefit from a good quality battery charger. Check at your local service or auto-parts desk. Also, during short, slow stop and start runs, be conservative with your electrical accessory use to avoid a fatal battery discharge. Clean it out. This refers to your vehicle’s engine and exhaust system. Short drives that don’t get the engine up to operating temps or are without moderate runs at highway speeds can cause carbon deposits on the engine’s valve train and premature corrosion failures of mufflers and exhaust pipes.

Tay Valley educator set to journey to Antarctica Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Tay Valley Township educator Shelley Ball will be journeying to the bottom of the earth next year, accompanied by Lean In author Sheryl Sandberg, Huffington Post founder Arianna Huffington, and Gorillas In The Mist scientist Jane Goodall. The “Homeward Bound Antarctic” initiative is being spearheaded by Australian businesswoman Fabian Dattner, and the 42 attendees will leave the Australian island of Tasmania in January 2016 for a 30-day trek. The expedition is part female empowerment journey, focusing on “promoting women’s leadership,” in business and “injecting women into leadership roles in science.” Not only is Australia’s Governor General, Sir Peter Cosgrove, the group’s patron, the women will be part of a study themselves being done by the University of Tasmania, which will measure how this expedition paid off for the attendees. A documentary film crew will record the proceedings. “As a former university professor, this really resonates with me,” Ball said, during a telephone interview from her home on Friday, Feb. 6. She runs Biosphere Environmental Education from her home between Westport and Perth, in her spare time when not working as a public servant in Ottawa. The company, which is in the early stages of development, seeks to offer “youth learning expeditions around the world,” so, “this really fits in with that.” Ball has just returned from another teaching trip this past July when she travelled to the other side of the world, a

Ball is no stranger to teaching or the southern hemisphere. For five-and-ahalf years she worked as a researcher at the Bio-Protection Research Centre at Lincoln University near Christchurch, New Zealand.

The teacher made sure that Ball’s desk was right beside the hive, “so as I could watch it.” Even if she was not listening to the lesson, she could watch nature in action right beside her, and learn visually. “That was the tipping point,” she said, in making learning fun. “He figured out what I was passionate about and taught to that.” As such, in her new venture, “I have a lot of empathy for kids who struggle.” She wants to open up a world of discovery for her students – even suggesting visiting Greenland’s eastern shore by schooner, as one possible dream destination. “I was really enamored by that place,” she said of Greenland, the world’s largest island.

crying on a Sunday night, dreading having to return to school the next morning. “I grew up as a kid with learning disabilities and I really struggled through school,” she said, joking that she became a biologist at age three, picking up bugs in the big field behind her house on the outskirts of Ottawa. The field was a respite from the schoolroom, which was “brutal for me. I hated it. I worked hard, but it never helped… When you can’t understand the material, you don’t have confidence.” Thankfully for her, she had teachers in Grades 3 and 5 “who realized that I was struggling.” One teacher built a beehive in the classroom, a hive contained within glass, with a pipe leading outside to al-

SNOW AND ICE REMOVAL FROM SIDEWALKS AND ROOFS:

During this time of year, it is important to note that the Town of Perth has regulations regarding snow and ice removal from sidewalks and roofs. These by-laws are in place to ensure the safety of all pedestrians in our community. Pursuant to Town of Perth By-law #2060 owners of any occupied, unoccupied or vacant lot are responsible for the removal of any snow or ice accumulation that may be left behind after sidewalk plough operations. Residents are required to clear any public sidewalk, adjoining their property, of snow and ice for the full paved width of the sidewalk. Where the snow or ice is so frozen that it cannot be removed without injury to the sidewalk, anti-slip materials are to be strewn over the area (i.e. sand or ashes). Town of Perth Property Maintenance and Occupancy Bylaw #3322 requires building owners and/or occupants to safely remove any ice and snow buildup from roofs. When this hazard cannot be immediately removed, there are barricades available to alert pedestrians of the potential overhead danger. A limited number of these barricades are available at the Crystal Palace in the Tay Basin. These are to be used as a temporary solution until such time as the ice and snow is safely brought down. Once this has been done, these barricades are to be returned to the Crystal Palace. In addition, the Ontario Fire Code requires that fire escapes and fire access routes must be kept clear of ice and snow to allow for safe passage for building occupants and emergency personnel. For more information contact Peter Echlin, By-law Enforcement Officer at 613267-3311 Ext. 2267.

Teen holds the watch that ends march desmond.devoy@metroland.com

They also serve who stand and wait. But for a young man we shall call Alfred, he did not head out onto the cold streets of Perth last Friday because he did not believe in what they were marching for, but because he feared the wrath of what awaited him when he got home, if he were to be spotted out in public, making such a public defence of LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered) rights. (We decided on the name Alfred as a cover name in a nod to the British poet Lord Alfred Douglas, who, in 1896, described homosexuality, in his poem “Two Loves,” as being “the love that dare not speak its name.”) He stayed back at the Youth Action Kommittee (YAK) offices on Sherbrooke Street this past Friday because “my parents do not know that I am doing this.” His father especially “would not be happy. If I (had) asked him if I could go, he would say no.” As he watched out the window as his friends on YAK’s newly-formed Queer Crew, walked down Sherbrooke Street towards Foster Street and onwards towards town hall on Gore Street East, Alfred admitted to mixed emotions.

On the one hand, it was like a parent seeing his child “go off to college. There they go. It’s happening. I was happy but sad I couldn’t do more.” Though he describes himself as an LGBT “straight ally,” he first became attuned to gay rights when his best friend in high school came out as bisexual, making it all the more imperative that he not only help organize the march, but also be part of the Queer Crew’s organizing committee. “Even the fact that I am here…I just can’t find the words,” he said. “I am just happy that I could be here.” As for people like his friend and other closeted young people, or, those who have come out and are facing criticism for their lifestyle, “they need support. There needs to be some kind of change.” In Douglas’ poem, narrator “fell aweeping,” at the sight of the love-thatdare-not-speak-its-name, describing him as “sad and sighing.” So too did this modern day Alfred know that, once the night’s laughter and tears, group hugs and marching had ended, that he would go home, and probably end up crying, alone, in his room or the bathroom. “If they hear me crying,” he said, “I can’t tell them.”

VIGIL

From front page

Many of the adults present expressed their admiration for the young organizers for being so diligent and professional. Erin Lee, the executive director of Lanark County Interval House, commented that she found it encouraging that all she had to do was show up and be told what to do by the teenage organizers. “We need to come together in solidarity to change it,” said Lee of the need for society’s views on LGBT rights. “You damn well take from this night the desire to take action.” She advised the youth that, no matter what their sexual orientation, or whatever it was that set them apart, “when you wake up in the morning, you have got to like what you see.” Author and motivational speaker Calvin Neufeld could honestly say that he knew what teens like Alcorn were going through. “I am a trans person,” he explained. “I was born a girl. I feel like a guy. That pretty much sums it up.” Echoing the words of the organizers, Neufeld threw down a challenge to the assembled: “that we never, ever have to meet like this again.” He too was a suicidal teenager, conflicted about his sexuality: “trans people do have a rough go of it. The more different you look, the more difficult it is.” Neufeld admitted to feeling “conflicted.” “Leelah’s story is making change happen,” he admitted. “(But) that doesn’t mean that your suicide will make change. It’s important to make sure that something good comes out of

this…(but) nothing good grows out of suicide.” There is always a sense of loss that comes from any death, but a death by suicide also brings with it anger. There is no pure grief and, rather than sparing your family, friends and loved ones any anguish, instead, “you are transferring all of your pain and your wounded-ness onto them.” R0013136723_0212

More than 200 local Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) employees continue walking the line outside of our hospitals and their ofﬁce in hopes of receiving a 1.4 per cent a year wage increase. Approximately 3,000 employees from nine of the 14 CCACs in Ontario voted in favour of a strike Jan. 29 and have been actively braving the cold since Jan. 30 under the banner of the Ontario Nurses Association (ONA). Staff have been buoyed by the positive response they are receiving from drivers who happen upon the strike lines and have chosen to honk their horn in support. “We’ve really been amazed at how people are responding to us,” said Kate Donnelly, a local CCAC employee. She stood alongside her co-workers in the daily strike in Smiths Falls and Perth. “It’s increased our resolve to have our management respect us for the jobs that we do,” Donnelly said of the cold strike conditions. At issue is a request for a 1.4 per cent a year increase in wages. Donnelly explained this increase was given to hospital nurses and long-term care staff. She said she and other care co-ordinators like her aren’t asking

Community Care Access Centre staff, above, walked the picket line Feb. 9 in front of their office building at 52 Abbott Street in Smiths Falls. They are picketing for a wage increase and workload conditions. Above right, Cari Duquette, left, and Kate Donnelly, right, were among the staff picketing. They have been picketing since Jan. 30 for a wage increase and workload conditions. for the same salary as their hospital when their wages were frozen for the counterparts, but for recognition of last two years. The CCAC challenges cost of living increases, particularly the notion of frozen wages, saying

ONA members received a 1.2 per cent lump sum in the ﬁrst and second year of their previous three-year contract and a 2.75 per cent wage increase in year three. This agreement expired March 31, 2014. The employer noted they have settled with similar services in Champlain, Central East and others with a three-year agreement that would see those employees receive a 1.4 per cent lump sum payment in year one, a one per cent wage increase and a 0.7 per cent lump sum payment in year two; and a one per cent wage increase and one per cent lump sum payment in year three. “You need only look as far as

CCACs’ recent settlements with both CUPE and OPSEU to understand the reasonableness of the CCACs’ offer to ONA,” a CCAC release stated. Care co-ordinators work in a multidisciplinary environment with the overall focus of helping those chronically ill or the frail elderly live longer in their homes. “I think that we provide a valuable medical resource to our clients,” Donnelly said. Ensuring this service is done with the client’s needs in mind takes many hours, some of which go unpaid. That is why the secondary element ONA is looking at is ﬁnding a solution to the heavy workload of its members through the hiring of additional care co-ordinators or other means. “We’re under a lot of pressure,” Donnelly said. Gary Buffett, manager of the South East CCAC conﬁrmed new referrals are still being processed with the focus on patients released from hospital, but added existing registered management staff are working hard to keep delays to a minimum. “We ask for people’s patience. There maybe some increased response times during this time,” Buffett said. To his knowledge, the talks broke down entirely on the issue of wages. Both sides are asking to return to the negotiating table though no date had been set by press time this week.

assisted suicide. While the crime of attempted suicide was decriminalized in 1972, the ban on doctor-assisted suicide has been on the books since 1892. The 9-0 decision stated, according to the Toronto Star, that while the 19th century law attempted

to protect the lives of “vulnerable people,” it also prevented “competent, consenting adults suffering “grievous and irremediable medical conditions,” from making core decisions about how they live and die, and so breaches three of the most basic rights: to life, liberty and security of the person,” pursuant to Sec. 7 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

cated just south of Perth on Highway 1. The association has a host of activities going on throughout the year. For more information on what the Rideau Trail Association is up to, visit www.rideautrail.org.

The court gave the federal government 12 months to draft new laws to address the ruling, but the ban on doctor-assisted suicide remains in place until then. In 1993, in a five-to-four decision, the same court rejected the case of Sue Rodriguez, a British Columbia woman dying of ALS. Quebec has enacted dyingwith-dignity legislation which

will likely come into effect later this year, and in the United States, three states, Vermont, Oregon, and Washington, also have similar laws. In Europe, The Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland and Luxembourg have doctorassisted suicide laws. Australia’s Northern Territory brought in a doctor-assisted euthanasia law in 1995.

Bad case of Februaryitis

sually I don’t mind winter. At least that’s what I tell myself. There’s something about this winter, though, that is giving me the no feeling. It could be because this one seems to be particularly bitter, and I am not wearing long johns often enough. See, most of my outdoor excursions are short trips, so I usually don’t bother. This results in my legs getting that stinging cold feeling that is just, well, unpleasant. You’d think I would have learned from the Great Hat Eureka Moment of 1991, when I was in university and it suddenly dawned on me that my parents were right – hats really DO keep your head warm and, consequently, help to keep the rest of you warm, too. Go figure. Do long johns have the same effect? Maybe if I wore them on my head... I really can’t put my finger on why this winter seems yuckier than usual – but that’s mostly because all of my fingers are frozen. It has become a bit of a problem, really. I have basically given up wearing anything except a big, thick, uber-glamorous pair of mitts because with anything else my fingers seem to instantly freeze and become painful. I’ve been trying to figure out why the hand thing is happening and I’ve narrowed it down to three possibilities: a) perhaps I got a touch of frostbite at some point in the last few years – back when I used to go outside in the winter b) possibly it’s simply an age thing or c) it could be something weird. After all, just when you think you’re mostly normal, that’s when it turns out you’ve got something that ends in “itis.” A few years ago I spent a lot more time outside for several reasons. For one thing, I made a much greater effort to do stuff with the kids, like snowshoeing and sledding. It’s not an easy task anymore, as Boychild likes to hibernate and Girlchild is already involved in pretty much every darned thing. I also used to be more involved in co-ordinating outdoor programs for kids in the winter, but life has a way of intervening. These days I’m finding it hard enough to co-ordinate the laundry and dishes. (Aside: I hate not having a clone.) A third reason I used to be outside in the winter is running. I miss running.

Past Deadline

Stephanie Gray

Running chased any hint of winter blues away faster than anything, and it was also good for clearing cobwebs in the head. I actually like running in cold weather a lot more than in heat. I’ve got decent gear and because it was never my goal to go super fast (I concentrated on staying upright and not gasping for breath), I didn’t mind navigating the snow. I warmed up quickly and stayed warm, and then it felt super awesome to come home and have a nice hot shower. I always preferred running in cold weather. That stopped when I experienced some foot problems. Running didn’t cause the foot problems – it turns out I have poorly constructed feet that simply didn’t adjust well to that particular form of exercise. Consequently, I ended up with something that ended in “itis” (go ﬁgure). Orthotics meant I could go on living without chronic pain, but I haven’t ventured back into running. Since I don’t expect I’ll be travelling farther south than Brockville any time soon, I ﬁgure the only hope I have of surviving the winter is to take up running again. Or at least really fast walking. This year, more than any other year in recent memory, I have managed to be cooped up. As much as I preach it to my kids and in this here space, I don’t practice the words “go outside.” That’s just dumb. I fear if I don’t start exercising I could fall prey to some sort of random “itis,” and that won’t be pretty. What is even uglier, though, is making the commitment to exercise. Why is this so hard? When I exercise I love it. Finding the time, starting the habit and sticking to a routine are the hardest parts. (See: “I hate not having a clone,” above.) I need to acknowledge that there will never be “a perfect time” to do this. Just get to it, already! Time to be Canadian and enjoy winter. After all, one can then reward oneself with hot chocolate.

Turn over of ban gives me peace

ast Friday’s Supreme Court of Canada’s decision to allow a person to choose to end their life if in insufferable pain gives me great comfort. On Feb. 6 the Supreme Court unanimously voted in favour of allowing dying with dignity (assisted suicide) in Canada provided a person is a competent adult, clearly consents to hastening death, is ill, diseased or disabled and in insufferable pain. I truly believe these measures will allow law enforcement to continue protecting the most vulnerable in our society who live happily with disabilities every day. Really, it won’t be any different than any other violation of law, but the freedom it affords those who truly do wish to control their own end is invaluable. Upon hearing this news last week I could almost see my mother clapping at home. She has been living with a degenerative disease for about 26 years now and believe me when I say she has had her share of dark days, but who can blame her? Every waking day is full of pain of some sort for this lovely lady. I can’t imag-

STACEY ROY For the Record

ine it, but she enjoys life, especially her lovely grandchildren of which she has four. I remember being told she would die when I was 16 and the feelings of pain and loss. I don’t want my mother to leave me, and selﬁshly I pray she never does. At the same time I know there will come a time when her illness overwhelms her and the pain is too much to bare. In this time I know what my mother would want, but I equally know I couldn’t be the one to do it. That is why this decision is so important for family members like me. I can’t fathom having to watch my mother struggle for breath. What this decision does is allow for the pain of this life to end for our loved ones. Last Friday I couldn’t help but shed a tear upon hearing the decision. It was a tear of relief. I only wish it could have come in time for others like Dr. Donald Low who died in 2013 after a prolonged illness.

As I celebrate this week I understand there are those who don’t. Speciﬁcally, many physicians across Canada who are very concerned about what this ruling will mean to them. I’m pleased to see the decision will not require doctors to assist in hastening a patient’s death if they feel it is against their morale compass. I see no need to step on one person’s rights and freedoms to liberate another. What I do hope is that organizations like Dying With Dignity may be able to compile a list of willing doctors in each province and region so that those seeking this type of peace will not have to go through the difﬁculty of being denied time and again. The federal and provincial governments have 12 months from last Friday to craft legislation that speaks to this new law before it is enforced. Until next Feb. 6, 2016 assisted suicide is still illegal. If the government does not provide these clear guidelines (and why on earth wouldn’t they want clarity on this matter) the practice will be managed through professional standards. For now, the ruling is enough.

Private eye to probe Fillipoff case Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Shelley Fillipoff, the mother of missing Lanark Highlands Township woman Emma Fillipoff, has taken money raised from an online crowd sourcing campaign and put it towards hiring a Vancouver-based private detective. Fillipoff has promised to pay Jasper Smith of Due Diligence Canada a $2,500 retainer, and is charging $95 an hour, as the search for Emma enters a new phase. But even at this rate, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think I got a good deal,â&#x20AC;? she said, with other private investigators she

has researched online charging as much as $150 an hour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was recommended by a friend,â&#x20AC;? she said during a telephone interview on Friday, Feb. 6, having hired Smith on Feb. 4. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted an investigator who was familiar with the area,â&#x20AC;? she added, and Smith lives in Vancouver but has worked in Victoria. She has spoken to Smith on the phone from British Columbia, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got such a wonderful vibe from him immediately,â&#x20AC;? she said of their 90-minute conversation. He promised he would review all of the print articles, and The Fifth Estate documentary that aired on the

case last year, â&#x20AC;&#x153;before making too many decisionsâ&#x20AC;? on how to proceed with his investigation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really excited,â&#x20AC;? she said. Smith told her that â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will work until we hit $5,500, and then I will update you,â&#x20AC;? on where the investigation will go from there â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if at all. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If he feels that there is nowhere to go â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my fear â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we will decide, do I go to my line of credit?â&#x20AC;? to continue funding the private investigation.

Ambulances are used to being at the scene of a collision – not part of a collision. But that’s exactly what happened to a patient transfer vehicle that was involved in a collision with a car at the intersection of Drummond Street and Highway 7 on Thursday, Feb. 5. The Smiths Falls-based vehicle was travelling west along Highway 7, on its way to drop off a patient from Ottawa at the Great War Memorial hospital site of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital. The vehicle turned at the intersection and was “struck by the (eastbound) car coming through the intersection,” said Perth fire chief Steve Fournier. In speaking with the two paramedics at the scene, they joked to him that “we go to a lot of accidents, but never in them!” The elderly woman driving the car “sustained fairly light injuries,” said Fournier, during an interview the next day. “They got the lady out of the car pretty quick.” The transfer patient was then transferred to an ambulance and sent down the road to the hospital – while the two-man crew stayed aboard the vehicle, waiting 20 minutes for one of their fellow drivers to pick them up. “They made sure their patient was OK,” said Fournier. “The police kept the intersection open,” closing only one lane to facilitate the emergency response vehicles. A section of Drummond Street, from Highway 7 to Elliot Street, was also closed during the 45-minute operation. “Everybody seems to be fine,” reported Fournier. The intersection is a notorious one for Perth’s drivers, and emergency responders. “That’s a bad intersection,” said Fournier. “There’s at least 10 accidents there a year,” and that the town has been lucky that none have been fatal. While the OPP, Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO), and the town are aware of the problem, “nobody wants to grab the challenge by the tail,” he said. As the head of the Lanark County paramedics, Coun. Ed McPherson has put forward motions to council asking that safety improvements be made to the intersection – such as allowing for an advance left-turning-green-light for eastbound traffic turning in to Home Hardware. As a paramedic himself, “he (McPherson) knows of the accidents there.”

Horticultural society features the Passenger Pigeon, mapping project Feb. 19

? !

Perth Horticultural Society geon, died at the Cincinnati Zoo, marking the extinction of this amazing species. Annie Dalton from Perth has more than 25 years of experience in graphic and exhibit design with a focus on the many colourful stories about history, culture and nature. She will tell about the plight of this extinct bird through interpre-

tive exhibits: a story unique in the annals of human history. Though a century has passed since its loss, it remains a poignant example and a reminder of humanity’s ability to take and exhaust nature’s abundant and seemingly endless riches. Historical mapping Barrie Crampton is a semi-re-

tired executive from the technology sector, residing with his wife, Pat, in Glen Tay. He is a member of the 200th anniversary committee of Drummond/North Elmsley, celebrating the founding of the Perth Military Settlement, where his ancestors settled in 1819. He will demonstrate the groups’ historical mapping project. Employing digital mapping technology and resurrected original maps of the survey of 1815, the project will show the settlement of the soldiers and settlers by individual lot, concession, names of the original and subsequent families and tell their stories for a lasting on-line

legacy on our history. The Perth and District Historical Society is dedicated to learning about and popularizing our history. The meetings are open to the public, on the third Thursday of each month, at 7:30 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion, Perth-UponTay, Branch 244, home of the Hall of Remembrance, at 26 Beckwith St. E. in Perth. A toonie fee applies for each meeting. For information, contact Ellen Dean at 613-264-8362 or David Taylor at 613-264-0094. Additional information can be found on our website at www.perthhs.org.

Migrating ﬂocks stretched a mile wide, turning the skies black and producing a thunderous, deafening noise as they passed overhead. Bird painter John James Audubon, who watched them pass on his way to Louisville in 1813, described “the continued buzz of wings,” and said “the air was literally ﬁlled with pigeons; the light of noon-day was obscured as if by an eclipse…” When he reached his destination, 55 miles away, the birds were still passing overhead, and “continued to do so for three days in succession.” Tragically, just over onehundred-years ago, on Sept. 1, 1914, Martha (named after George Washington’s wife) the world’s last passenger pi-

Our Feb. 19, meeting will feature two presentations: The story of the Passenger Pigeon; and information about a local mapping project. Imagine, in the early 1800s, a ﬂock of birds in eastern Ontario, its shadow blocking the sun…stretching from horizon to horizon…taking three days to pass. Now, imagine these birds gone forever – now only a haunting memory. This is the story of the Passenger Pigeon – a bird that once numbered in the billions. However, loss of habitat from deforestation and being hunted for meat on a commercial scale led to a catastrophic decline between 1870 and 1890. The passenger pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius) (not to be confused with the domesticated carrier pigeon) was a wild bird. It was once the most common bird in North

Branch 244 News 25, 1945: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The municipal council of the Township of South Sherbrooke held a social evening in Maberly town hall to welcome home four local men returning from overseas.

Did you know? Scotland Yard Inspector Walter H. Thompson, Sir Winston Churchillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bodyguard for more than 20 years, writes in his Churchill biography about Days of Yore â&#x20AC;Ś From The Perth Courier, Oct. the events of Dec. 28, 1942:

â&#x20AC;&#x153;After luncheon at the worldfamous hotel, Chateau Laurier, with members of the Canadian Cabinet and Chiefs of Staff, he (Churchill) was greeted by Inspector Wilson of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and told the Inspector he was honored to be in their charge. The Inspector gave him a large round box and suggested he open it later, at the press conference at Government House. This Winston did. With all the newsmen gathered round, Winston unwrapped the gift and found it to be a Canadian fur hat, a real beauty. He wore it all the time after that and would never allow anyone to touch it, but would stand indefinitely while his picture was taken.â&#x20AC;?

Health unit ‘concerned’ about anti-vaccination teaching at Queen’s University Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

The Lanark, Leeds, Grenville Health Unit is “concerned” about a Queen’s University professor calling into question the effectiveness of vaccines in children. Professor Melody Torcolacci, who teaches a course entitled “Physical Determinants of Health,” at the Kingston school, recently made a slideshow presentation to her class as part of a lecture entitled “Vaccines – Good or Bad?” according to the Toronto Star. One of the slides informed students that “no scientific evidence exists showing vaccines are NOT contributing to increased incidents of chronic illness and disability in children.” Upon hearing this, Margaret Hendriks, manager of infectious disease and vaccine preventable disease at the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark Health Unit’s Smiths Falls office, said, “I totally don’t agree. I’m a little concerned from the fact that I don’t know where her evidence is coming from.” While the health unit’s most recent statistics are from two years ago, Hendriks said that the area’s vaccination rate stands at about 92 per cent – “we’re quite pleased with that, but 100 per cent would be the best.” The provincial health minister, Eric Hoskins, has stated that a vaccination rate of about 95 per cent would be ideal for a “herd immunity,” to take effect. The Public Health Agency of Canada describes the “herd immunity” as being an example of when someone who cannot be immunized is surrounded by those who are “and therefore do not spread the infection to other people, the vulnerable

are indirectly protected.” South of the border, a measles outbreak has been connected to the anti-vaccination movement and families visiting Disneyland in California. According to the California Department of Public Health, about 53 confirmed cases have been linked to exposure to the disease this past December. Closer to home, there are, as of this writing, six measles cases that have been confirmed in Toronto. The American government announced that measles had been eradicated there in 2000, but the US Centres for Disease Control reported 644 new measles cases in 27 states last year. Here in Canada, indigenous measles was eliminated in 2005, and, according to the Public Health Agency of Canada, in a report looking at immunization coverage across the country from 2002 to 2012, there has been a maintenance of about “95 per cent coverage of two doses of measles-containing vaccine.” Here in this part of eastern Ontario, “it was almost eradicated. A lot of practitioners have not seen it.” In fact, she said she could not recall the last time that a measles case was reported in her coverage area, though there was one case of measles being brought in by a traveler in Ottawa last year. She joked that she is of the age that she got measles when she was a child – partly because there was no vaccine that could be given to help prevent it. “It’s highly contagious,” because it is airborne, she said. A poll released by Mainstreet Technologies last Friday, shows about 20 per cent of Ontarians surveyed believe that vaccines cause autism, something Hendriks

disagrees with. There is an autism spectrum, she said, and autism can manifest itself in children before they get vaccines, and before parents start looking for developmental milestones. The belief that vaccines cause autism came about, she believes, from “one very poor study,” in the British medical journal The Lancet. The journal has since retraced the story, and several of the researchers who signed their name to the original study have since withdrawn their names from it. The lead author was one Andrew Wakefield, a former British surgeon. Writing in the Toronto Star this past June, Alana Westwood, a PhD candidate at Halifax’s Dalhousie University, wrote that “his misguided claims…(have) been widely discredited and exposed as a fraud.” The anti-vaccination movement “remembers those (studies) but they don’t remember the successes,” she said. The poll also found that 15 per cent of Ontarians disagree that a reduction in the vaccination of children would have serious health impacts. Hendriks points out that, in 2003, children were expected to have eight vaccinations. As of 2014, that number has jumped to 22. About 58 per cent of those surveyed said they feel that parents should not have a say if children are vaccinated or not. While children need proof of immunization to attend school, Hendriks pointed out that “if a parent chooses not to go that route,” of immunizing their children, for religious or medical reasons, “they have to sign a document,” which is then kept on file at the health unit. If there is, for example, a measles outbreak in area schools, “they

News – First Nations, Métis and Inuit families in the Upper Canada District School Board will be honoured at a round dance gathering at Perth and District Collegiate Institute on Feb. 21.

(the unvaccinated children) would not be allowed to attend school until the outbreak is over, for their safety.” She added that some people – like those receiving radiation therapy as part of cancer treatment – may be “immuno-compromised,” and may not be able to receive vaccinations anyway. Newborn infants also cannot be immunized for about a year. The poll also found that 53 per cent of Ontarians believe that unvaccinated children should not be allowed to attend school, while 60 per cent believed that unvaccinated children should not be allowed to attend child-care facilities.

The poll was conducted on Feb. 4, and spoke to 3,022 people. It has a margin of error of 1.78 per cent, 19 times out of 20. The ongoing vaccination controversy has even found its way into the 2016 US presidential election. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton tweeted on Feb. 3 that “The science is clear: The earth is round, the sky is blue, and #vaccineswork. Let’s protect all our kids.” On the Republican side, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said that parents should have some “choice” when it comes to vaccinating their children, while Kentucky Senator Rand Paul said that most vaccines

should be “voluntary.” Back in Canada, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, in an interview with the CBC in January of 2014, advised parents to not “indulge your theories. Think of your children, and listen to the experts.” In pushing for vaccinations, he added that “it’s a tragedy when people start to go off on their own theories and not listen to scientific evidence.” However, Hendriks feels that the current controversy over vaccinations could have a positive side. “There are some positives,” she said. “It gives people a pause to think. People are much more aware.”

Blues concert raises $2,500 for hospital foundation The fundraiser concert for the Great War Memorial Foundation for the Perth Hospital on Saturday, Feb. 7 at the Perth and District Collegiate Institute auditorium in Perth was a real success! Vancouver’s Tom Lavin and the legendary Powder Blues band – celebrating 37 years of “good times guaranteed” Blues – put on a fabulous show. It was a near sellout crowd and judging by the comments from attendees, the standing ovation and the demand for an encore at the end of the show – everybody had a marvellous time! “Best Blues concert I’ve seen in 30 years!” said Westport’s John Bell; while Dunrobin resident, Danielle Hebert remarked: “Great! Ten out of 10 for everything – band, sound, venue and party.” Trudy Feeney of Perth also gave the event a 10 rating and North Gower’s Joe Clemen was happy to see the band again. “Saw them at Barrymore’s back in the day,” he said. “Great to see them again!” A total of $2,500 was raised for the Great War Memorial Foundation for the Perth Hospital and Cathy Gordon from Carleton Place was the lucky winner of the draw for the beautiful powder blue Pandora bracelet. A big thank you goes out to Tom Lavin & the Powder Blues and all of the media and sponsors who helped make this such a special night. This event was produced by Choose the Blues Productions of Kenmore.

Upcoming play gives local women insight into their darker selves Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

This month’s BarnDoor Production of Tracy Letts’ adult comedy – August: Osage County, Pulitzer Prize winning play will introduce you to the darker side of yourself, at least that’s what it did for two of its actresses. Allison Graham (a professional actress) and Kelly Gaston (a local actress) of Smiths Falls have found their roles as Violet and Mattie-Fae as both challenging and enlightening. “There’s a little bit of truth in all the characters that people will relate to,” Gaston added. “They all need a little bit of therapy.” Violet is the ailing matriarch of the family whose difficult childhood has resulted in a philosophy to hold nothing back even when it hurts. Mattie-Fae is Violet’s boisterous sister who is known for being a secret keeper who uses her voice as a defence mechanism. “She’s about where you’re from and what made you who you are,” Gaston said. The novice actress can relate. Gaston describes herself as meek and unwilling to rock

PERTH

the boat, and yet a sliver of her character resonates with Gaston as the voice in her heard she wishes she could speak out loud. “Who knew Mattie-Fae was in here,” Gaston said. This is Gaston’s first time on stage since Grade 10. “It’s scary and exciting all at the same time,” she said. Gaston was approached by the director to audition for this production and was pleasantly surprised to be cast as MattieFae. When asked what lessons she has learned from her onstage self, Gaston replied: “In order to make anything happen I have to leave my house. I’m the only one that’s stopping me.” Working in the play has opened up a new social avenue for Gaston and allowed her to reconnect with a former high school peer, Graham. Returning home and taking time out from her television and film career has been a rejuvenating experience for Graham who hasn’t worked in a play since her training days. “To be able to have this challenge and this gift to try to figure out this crazy woman for two months is great,” Graham

added of her post-practice experience. “I have to sit for 10 minutes and shed Violet with a glass of wine.” The show is set in modern day Oklahoma and tells the story of a family with roots in the dust bowl of the Depression. This play does contain strong language and is intended for an adult audience. The curtain goes up for the first time this Friday, Feb. 13 and again Feb. 14, 19, 20 and 21 at 8 p.m. Matinees are scheduled for Feb. 15 and 22 at 2 p.m. Tickets can be purchased online for $20 (adults) and $10 (students) or at the door for $22.

several divisions resume shortly. The U12s compete away on Valentine’s Day, while the U10s are at home for a GS race the next day. The U14s eagerly anticipate the start of speed camp February 18. Lastly, the U16 racers will compete February 15 in a GS. The U16 group debuted on January 17 with a Giant Slalom (GS) race at Mont Ste. Marie, Que. There were some nervous jitters to work out: four of the six girls crashed on one of their runs, while two hung on to finish. Calabogie Racing’s two youngest groups had successful first appearances. The U12 group skied on home territory with a Panel Slalom at the Peaks. Keuninckx, also tackling her first-ever ski race, skied a great run but missed a gate on the second.

June 30, 1915 to February 5, 2015 Laura Gienow passed away February 5, 2015 with her daughters Linda and Susan by her side. Laura was raised on a farm in Tregarva, Saskatchewan. She was the youngest of six children. Laura was a natural athlete who loved to ride her horse “Pat”, run and play baseball when time away from the farm chores permitted. She lived through the dirty thirties on the farm and watched the wind blow the soil for many years. Laura never did like the wind much after that. She loved to sing and enjoyed harmonizing with the old melodies. Laura met the love of her life “Jim” Gienow. They married in Winnipeg in 1943 and moved to Atikokan, Ontario, a place about as different from the wide open prairie as she could imagine. Laura and Jim had two girls, Linda and Susan and made a good life in Atikokan. They built their home on Hancock Boulevard, planting and lovingly tending their large vegetable and flower gardens. They fished the “flood waters”, where Jim caught his big (13 lb) pickerel two months before he died. Laura missed Jim terribly but soldiered on with her life. Laura enjoyed curling until age 75. She loved to read and watch sports on television. Baseball and curling were her favourites. She liked to “split” a beer or two with friends and family now and again. Laura had a quiet resilience about her and was fiercely independent. She was a good friend, a kind and considerate mother & grandmother, never asked for much and always had time to say hello. Laura is pre-deceased by husband, Jim Gienow, both of her parents and her 3 brothers and two sisters. Laura is survived by her two daughters, Linda Hancock and Susan (Terry) Cavanagh; grandchildren Mark (Nicky) Hancock, Robin (Todd) Brown, Kyla (Pablo) Quiroz, Dylan (Caitlyn) Cavanagh; and great grandchildren Connor and Kendra Brown, Kate Hancock, and Nellie Quiroz. Mom, grandma – we miss you so very much and feel lucky to be your family. You are fondly remembered by nieces and nephews. You lived a long life and experienced incredible transformations in the last 100 years. You now have your well-deserved rest. There will be no formal service at Laura’s request. Instead, we plan a gathering of family and friends in late spring/summer 2015. Special gratitude and thanks to the staff at Lanark Lodge for their kindness and support of our family. Chickadees were Laura’s favourite birds, so when you see one of these little birds give a thought to Laura.

IN MEMORIAM

RYTA ELEANORE DULMAGE April 23, 1944 - February 6, 2014 My mighty Oak The mightly wind blew night and day, it stole the oak tree leaves away. Then snapped its boughs and pulled its bark until the tree was tired and stark The weary wind gave up and spoke, “How can you still be standing oak?”. The oak tree said, I know that you can break each branch of mine in two. Shake my limbs and make me sway, carry every leaf away. But my roots stretch deep in the earth, grown strong from love since my birth. My strength and love for you see they are the deepest part of me. Until today, I wasn’t sure of just how much I could endure. But now I’ve found that thanks to you, I’m stronger now than I every knew. Now in heaven watching over me, it was you all along that was my tree. Miss you more than words can say, but understand this is God’s way. Left to watch me from above, my world, my friend, my wife, my love. Forever loved and always missed Richard, Sheryl Anne, Sharon Dawn and families

We think of you in silence We often speak your name All we have are memories And your picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake From which we’ll never part God has you in His arms We have you in our hearts. Deeply missed Margaret and Family

I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn’s rain. When you awaken In the morning’s hush; I am the swift uplifting rush, Of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there, I did not die. Betty Jacque Linda Kim & Ted

When his truck was new, it was powered by Chevrolet’s legendary overhead-valve inline six cylinder engine. Chevrolet cars of that

year had a similar (perhaps identical) engine with two choices: the “Diamond” engine with 181cubic inches and 60 horsepower or the “Blue Flame” Six with 206 cubic inches and 80 horsepower. The Chevrolet overhead-valve six cylinder engine dates back to 1929, when GM tried to get ahead of Ford with the new six cylinder engine when the Model A Ford had only four. But Henry Ford had the last word in the race for num-

ber of cylinders when he launched the first V8 engine in the low price field in 1932. I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O.

Report shows number of Ontarians accessing food bank for first time The Ontario Association of Food Banks (OAFB) released its 2014 Hunger Report recently, revealing that almost 375,000 individuals – more than one-third children – are turning to food banks each month. This year’s report also finds a 20 per cent spike in first time use and illustrates some surprising statistics about who is going hungry and why poverty and hunger numbers haven’t dipped since the 2008 recession. “Since the recession, food bank use increased dramatically from 314,000 in 2008 to levels that have not dipped below 370,000 in recent years,” said the OAFB’s Amanda King. “Unstable employment conditions, unsustainable wages and rising costs on essentials like food, transportation, hydro and gas are forcing a growing number of Ontarians to have to choose between paying their bills or putting food on the table.” The 2014 Hunger Report also includes a working poor feature that explores some of the conditions affecting Ontarians who are working but struggling to make ends meet. These include areas where the provincial government

is falling short on implementing policies that create long-term solutions to ending poverty and hunger in Ontario. “We are calling for the Ontario government to implement a monthly Ontario housing benefit for low income tenants, based on their rent and income,” said King. “We are also making it clear that increased payments and updates to Ontario’s social assistance programs, as well as funding for the transportation of fresh healthy foods for Ontario’s most vulnerable communities, are crucial.” One of the main factors contributing to food insecurity has been unstable employment. Currently 1.7 million jobs in Ontario are considered unsecure, and since 2008, of the jobs created in Canada, 80 per cent have been temporary positions, contributing to the pervasive problem of hunger in Ontario. “In order to alleviate hunger, the Government of Ontario must step up and implement good public policy that addresses the needs of its most vulnerable citizens,” said King. “In the meantime, food banks will continue to provide an essential service to

Ontario’s hungry.” Some of the highest numbers of food bank users in Ontario are women over 18 (45 per cent), children (35 per cent), people with a disability (30 per cent), new Canadians (10 per cent) and First Nations persons (six per cent). University students and senior citizens in rural communities remain two of the fastest growing groups of food bank users. “My local food bank not only provided me with healthy, regular meals, but also with the support I needed to find housing as well as skills and resources to find work,” said Jessica Manuel, a business professional and former food bank user. “I’m grateful for the support services that allowed me the stability and confidence to give my daughter the life she deserved and stop the cycle of poverty that had plagued by family for so many years.” Hunger Report highlights and trends • Hunger by the numbers: 374,698 people accessed food banks across Ontario in March 2014, with 17,182 of them doing

so for the first time. • The face of hunger: The largest group of food bank users are children, women over 18, single parent families, individuals who require social assistance and rental tenants. • Hunger across Ontario: Fifty per cent of all food acquired and distributed by the OAFB to its 125-member food banks across the province is either fresh or frozen, with a growing focus on protein, including milk, eggs, turkey, chicken, beef, lamb and pork. • Services beyond the table: Food banks offer programming that goes beyond providing food, including clothing/furniture programs, community gardens, shelter programs, budgeting and economic workshops and employment search assistance.
