Community – Edythe Simon enjoys the visits from volunteers with the local Meals on Wheels. Each day, Monday through Friday, she receives a nutritional diabetic-friendly hot meal for lunch. It’s important for her; not only the camaraderie but also the daily check-in. As a visually impaired senior living in a secured building in Perth, it’s a little peace of mind, she says. “I’ve been getting meals for almost a year,” she said. This week, Mayors for Meals helped make Simon’s and others’ meals more memorable as local mayors were out delivering. “I enjoy visiting with the clients,” said Mayor John Fenik, who dropped in to see Simon. “A great meal and a beautiful woman, what more could you want?” Fenik said he hopes to become

more of a fixture around the Community Home Support for Lanark County, the organization that delivers Meals on Wheels in Perth, which are made at the Lanark Lodge. “Once I’m retired from the school board, I hope to be able to give some time to Meals on Wheels,” he said. “I’ve been doing Mayors for Meals now for the past two years, and I really enjoy it.” Karen Ennis is the coordinator for Meals on Wheels, and has been doing so for 23 years. “We deliver about 40 meals each day in Perth,” she said, and added there are other offices in Smiths Falls and Carleton Place that do the same. “We have 25 volunteers – some are on a call-in basis and we’re always looking for more to help out.” For Simon, she said it’s always wonderful to get a hot meal

prepared by someone else. “I just haven’t got the energy to cook a big meal for myself,” she said, adding that she has no trouble preparing soup or sandwiches, but it’s nice to have someone else do the “home cooking.” Simon is still active in her community, despite macular degeneration. She’s able to see a little bit, but numbers in a phone book are especially troublesome. She’s since obtained help through her former employer, Bell Canada, whom she calls to obtain phone numbers she is not able to see. She’s still a volunteer at the Great War Memorial Hospital’s gift store, enjoys the company of her good friends, and her daughters who commute from Montreal and Toronto. Simon is no stranger to volunteering, having done so for many years at the Ottawa Civic Hospi-

tal as well. She’s also a former restaurant owner in Perth – At E’s – a name derived from the first initials of her name, and her friend Elizabeth. “We had that restaurant where Mex & Co is now and I still remember the first St. Patrick’s Day… and running out of our potato special,” she said with a smile. This former Hespeler (now Cambridge) resident moved to this area and began working for Bell Canada in Ottawa. That’s where she met her husband, Ted Simon. When he was just 52, he died of heart complications. “It was because of him that I started volunteering at the Ottawa Civic,” she said. “I’ve always enjoyed it… and I still volunteer at the Perth hospital. Only now, I’m at the front desk,” offering directions, support and any help she can.

News – Algonquin College’s Perth campus has no plans to come in and salvage any of the programs that may be lost through the announced closure of Kemptville College. Dave Donaldson, the dean of the Perth campus, said in a recent interview that while he was interested in Kemptville’s welding program, after having done an analysis, “we don’t have the room for it,” and it might not prove to be a good fit with his campus’ heritage trades programs. “I’m not sure what our senior executives are deciding,” he added. But as for the Perth campus in particular, “there really is not a fit with anything we offer here. Whether there is an appetite at the Woodroffe campus (in Ottawa) I cannot even speculate,” he said. The potential loss of 115 jobs is “tragic,” he said, but, considering the college’s long history and infrastructure, “there should always be given an opportunity if the buildings are there… educational institutions in smaller communities, like Perth, like Kemptville, are a part of the fabric. It is an extension of the local economy.” A group of college alumni is seeking ways to keep the school going after the University of Guelph made its decision public earlier this month. While he commended the alumni for getting involved, Donaldson noted that “if you are alumni of an institution, there is always that emotional connection. (But) as an educational institution, we are not allowed to lose money.” One of the challenges his campus faces is that grants for rural colleges are drying up. The college received $462,000 in grants for rural campuses in 2013, which was halved in See PERTH page P5

United Counties sign resolution of support to save Kemptville Campus

Counties to help Old Town Kemptville with funds Counties council has voted in favour of providing funds to the Old Town Kemptville Business Improvement Area (BIA) to assist with a specific promotional campaign strategy to bring shoppers and business back into the downtown core.

Both the Municipality of North Grenville and the Kemptville BIA say Old Town Kemptville businesses have been hurt by the closure of County Road 44, a thoroughfare leading into the town from the south. The road was re-opened recently even though the project is not finished. It had been closed since last summer when work by a construction firm hired by the Counties began on the CPR bridge. The project was to be completed by the end of November. “They (the BIA) did have a vibrant community before the construction,” Dave Gordon, Mayor of North Grenville, said in support of the resolution. “This has broken the cycle.” Les Shepherd, Counties director of works, planning services and asset

management, said the project cannot be completed until the frost is out of the ground. He noted the road will not have to be closed completely again but work will be ongoing until the early summer, including paving. Consultant hired to develop Official Plan The United Counties have entered into an agreement with MMM Group Limited for consulting services related to the creation of a Leeds Grenville Official Plan. The Counties is required by the Province of Ontario to complete an official plan by March 31, 2015. The bylaw passed by council follows a recommendation from Committed of

Hike for Hospice, show you care Community – A group of dedicated volunteers, friends, families and supporters and some local notables from all over Lanark County will be taking a short walk through Perth on Sunday, May 4, to mark the beginning of Hospice Palliative Care Week in Canada and to raise funds for hospice palliative care services in our communities. They are hoping you will join in as well. The Lanark County “Hike for Hospice” is a two kilometre walk from the Crystal Palace in downtown Perth. The fundraiser is a team effort of Community Home Support – Lanark County’s Hospice Palliative Services and national sponsor, Bayshore Home Health, both of which provide hospice palliative care for Lanark County residents.

Please donate and/or sign-up and walk with us to raise funds for something we all care about: the expectation of being treated with dignity and respect when someone we care for is at their most vulnerable. There will be a barbecue, live music and a silent auction. Registration starts at noon. The walk starts at 1 p.m. All funds raised here stay here. To register and start fundraising go to www. chpca.net/hike or print a pledge package from the “Our Services Calendar” tab at www.chslc.ca. Pledge packages may also be picked up at Bayshore Home Health in Smiths Falls and at the Community Home Support offices in Perth, Smiths Falls and Carleton Place. For more, call 613-267-6400.

News – The following are highlights of the regular United Counties of Leeds and Grenville Council meeting held March 20. Counties council passed a resolution urging Premier Kathleen Wynne to immediately issue a two-year moratorium on the closure of the University of Guelph, Kemptville Campus, and reinstate the intake of students in the fall. The resolution was passed unanimously and supports Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark’s request earlier this week in the Ontario Legislature. Although Clark’s request was denied, council is asking the Premier “in the strongest possible way” to reinstate all programming, including academic, skilled trades, and research programming. It requests the Premier, who is also Minister of Agriculture and Food, to place a moratorium on the closure to give local officials time to come up with a strategy to save the near century old Kemptville agricultural and trade school. “This is a slap in the face to eastern Ontario,” said Dave Gordon, who is mayor of North Grenville where the college campus is located. The North Grenville municipal council passed a

VOLUNTEER FAIR April 7, 2014 at 10:00 am - 4:00 pm United Way Lanark County (UWLC) surpassed their 2013 campaign goal of $350,000 last week. Above, UWLC board members hold numbers bearing the grand total of the campaign: $351,443. Clockwise from top left: chair Johann Ramsaran; vice-chair Helen McIntosh; treasurer Kris Denis; Tim Campbell; secretary Lynne Loken; Matthew Breary; and Barb Woods. In the middle are UWLC executive director Fraser Scantlebury and fund development officer Emily Danaher.

United Way Lanark County exceeds 2013 campaign goal News – Last week, United Way Lanark County’s (UWLC) 2013 campaign goal of $350,000 was officially surpassed, with a grand total of $351,443 donated! This marks the second consecutive year of exceeding target, an achievement that showcases the support and commitment of volunteers, community members and partners of United Way Lanark County. “We are so happy to be in a position to make this announcement,” stated Johann Ramsaran, chair of the board of directors. “After such a successful 2012 campaign, we increased our target by $20,000, a tall order that was met with incredible support and zeal from the community. The programs and services provided by our 16 member agencies assist 1 in 7.5 people in Lanark County, a huge impact that we are very proud of.” The campaign season began in late September with four kick-off breakfasts in Carleton Place, Perth, Smiths Falls and Mississippi Mills, sponsored by local restaurants and the community. Several initiatives were introduced throughout the fall, including an Ontario Public Ser-

vice team of bikers stopping and refuelling at Foodsmiths in Perth on their way to Toronto in support of United Way, and four home hockey games hosted by the semiprofessional hockey teams in Lanark County – the Perth Blue Wings, Almonte Thunder, Carleton Place Canadians and Smiths Falls Bears. There was great support from the community at preestablished events such as the annual My Town’s Got Talent, where the Legions of Perth, Smiths Falls and Almonte joined Town & Country Chrysler and the Valley Players to support the show. In addition, Carleton Place saw the second annual successful Live Man Auction, sponsored by the staff at the local LCBO. “The LCBO’s customer support through donations at the cash register was just incredible, and with a competition between the Perth and Carleton Place stores, we saw a huge increase in funds donated,” said fund development officer Emily Danaher, “it was very exciting to see the enthusiasm of the staff at all Lanark County LCBO stores for the campaign!” In addition, building on the successful introduction of the

Seeing is Believing Tours last year, two separate tours were held in Lanark North and Lanark South, allowing donors and members of the community to get a first-hand look at where their dollars go and how they impact the community. “Through the generosity of local sponsors,” noted Danaher, “we were able to increase our advertising and media coverage at no cost, allowing more of the donations to be put right back into the community. The Home Hardware stores in Almonte and Smiths Falls, the Independent Grocers in Perth, Smith Falls and Almonte, plus Allan Chartered Accountants all pitched in, Neilcorp Homes sponsored our mailers and we received a great amount of sponsored advertising with Metroland Media, Lake 88, Jack FM, the Lanark ERA, Millstone News and the Humm.” “This kind of sustained funding can only be achieved through the support of the community,” said Fraser Scantlebury, executive director of UWLC. “We are so happy that we continue to see this support year after year, as it gives us the ability to keep

Community volunteer income tax program growing in popularity News – Free income tax service for persons with modest income and a simple tax situation is in full swing in Lanark County during the months of March and April, and is more popular than ever. Income tax clinics have been operating since the beginning of March and have already been successful in filing more than 250 tax returns. This confidential service, offered by trained volunteers, is available to taxpayers who have a yearly income of $30,000 or less, couples who have a combined yearly income of $40,000 or less and parent and child who have a yearly income of $35,000 or less. This drop-in tax service has been taking place in various locations and at various times throughout Lanark County. Perth offers clinics at the Perth & District Union Library (30 Herriott St.), the Salvation Army Family Centre (40 North St.), and The Table (190 Gore St. East). Smiths Falls offers clinics at the Community Health Centre (2 Gould St.) and at Rainbow Community House (42C Empress St.). Carleton Place offers clinics at Lanark Community Programs (30 Bennett St.); and Lanark offers clinics at the North Lanark Community Health Centre (207 Robertson Drive). Pakenham offers clinics at Linda Lowe Daycare (106 Isabella St.).

This assistance enables taxpayers to file their taxes so that they can continue to receive the Child Tax Benefit, GST credit, the Guaranteed Income Supplement, the Working Income Tax Benefit, and the provincial benefits (Trillium). Here are some of the forms that you should bring to the income tax volunteer: • Tax slips for all income, such as T4 (employment income), T4A (pension and other income), T4A(P) (Canada Pension Plan), T4A(OAS) (Old Age Security), T4RSP (Retirement Savings Plan), T4RIF (Registered Income Fund), T4E (Employment Insurance), T5 (interest income), T5007 (benefits), RC62 (Universal Child Care Benefit), • Tax slips for deductions or credits, such as T2202 (tuition), RRSP contributions, children’s fitness and children’s arts amounts, medical expenses, donation receipts, • Property tax or rent costs for 2013, name of landlord, • Dates of birth for any dependents, and • 2012 Notice of Assessment, if available.

The free income tax service for those with modest income and a simple tax situation continues to be available for individuals throughout Lanark County until the end of April. Above, community income tax volunteers Sheila Willis and Susan Lafosse help prepare and efile tax returns. Submitted photo

Community – Since 1917, the Captain Hooper Chapter of the IODE has been raising funds for important community organizations with commitment and perseverance. The group founded as the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire has 37 active members from the Carleton Place and Almonte areas and aids several other organizations by holding fundraiser events and by raising awareness of some of our community’s most important services. The IODE has raised funds for several organizations such as Interval House, the Therapeutic Riding Program, The Lanark County Food Bank and the hospitals – just to name a few,” said A large part of our mandate is education and so we raise money for our community’s school nutritional programs as well as bursaries to the Carleton Place High School, Almonte High School and Notre Dame. The organization is always looking for fresh and exciting ways to raise money and and this year, they have the opportunity to book The Psychic Experience with Matthew Stapley. “I have always been a big fan of paying it forward,” Stapley said. “Having grown up in Carleton Place I have used the hospital and the schools and the community programs which have helped me and when I received this opportunity I felt it would be an excellent way to give back to the community organizations which have helped me and many others. The IODE is a group helping community services to make the community the best that it can be. I knew I wanted to be a part of that right away.” Stapley, psychic-medium of Lanark County origin, who has raised money for organizations in Ottawa such as Operation Come Home and the Ottawa Humane Society will be performing a show at the town hall auditorium in Carleton Place to help raise funds on April 11. “I can’t use words to describe how happy I am to be able to return to my hometown to help the IODE,” Stapley said. “My grandmother and now my two aunts have been members of this organization and I have seen first-hand the good within the community that they are able to create.” Stapley specializes in spirit communication in group settings bring-

COMMENTARY

Food for our future Editorial – Food is one of the most important aspects of our lives. It sustains and nurtures us. And throughout Lanark, Leeds and Grenville there has been a movement to ensure we all have access to safe, healthy food that is locally grown, ensuring there is a place for our growers and producers. Today, the long talked about food charter was unveiled at Farrell Hall in Perth. After months of planning by the steering committee, foodcoreLGL, including a survey to local residents about what they would like to see, the food charter will become a reality. The concept began to be shaped back in March 2013. It provides a set of guiding principles promoting food that is “fresh, accessible, safe and affordable and an agricultural system that is strong both now and in the future. A food charter will strengthen the local economy, support local producers, promote environmental conservation and improve the health and well-being of residents,” according to foodcoreLGL’s website: www.foodcorelgl.ca. It’s important for our future generations (and ourselves) to understand how our food is produced and where it comes from. Ever wondered how far that head of broccoli or apple travelled to make it to your table? Wouldn’t we all feel safer knowing that our potatoes or carrots came from a farm in Perth or a farmers’ market in Kemptville? Having a food charter will open a dialogue about food and agriculture in our communities and make connections with organizations and groups. It can ensure we all have safe, nutritious food and also protect farmland and provide further opportunities for growers and producers. This is a document for the future and we hope it will be adopted not only by residents of the tri-counties, but also businesses, schools and local levels of government. It will certainly give us all some food for thought.

Jealousy ends up tearing apart a precious hand-me-down Lifestyle – Emerson was not happy. The hand-me-down box was wide open in the middle of the kitchen floor, and the entire family sat around it in chairs as we would at a prayer meeting at the Lutheran Church. The call had come that morning: “She’s here...she’s here.” That’s all the station master had to say. We knew the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie in Regina had arrived on the CPR train. Of course, there was no touching it until after supper, the kitchen had been “redded” up, and our hands washed. Why we had to wash our hands before we touched a wood crate that came all the way from Regina by train was something I could never understand, but no one got near the box, or the mounds of clothes packed inside until we had thoroughly washed our hands! The reason Emerson was in a state was because a nice store-bought sweater had been claimed by Earl. Alpaca, it was, Mother said. We had

to admit it was a fine specimen of a sweater, and it fit Earl to a ‘T’. Earl, being several sizes smaller than Emerson, and weighing about 50 pounds less, was the logical owner of the newly arrived sweater, once worn by a rich cousin in Regina. But Emerson, claimed since he was older, he should have had first pick, and as far as he was concerned the sweater would fit. “It’s supposed to be tight...that’s the style of it,” he reasoned. Mother would have no part of the argument. The sweater was Earl’s and that was the end of it. Alas, if that were only the case! The entire box was emptied, and as usual, there was nothing in it for my sister Audrey or me...all boys’ clothes. We knew some of Uncle Jack’s suits would eventually be made into skirts or jumpers for us, and the dresses Aunt Lizzie had no more use for, being several sizes too small for Mother, would be turned into blouses.

been sorted, pawed over, and put into piles, and the empty box moved out to the summer kitchen, where it would eventually be pulled apart and used for kindling for the Findlay Oval. It looked like Earl was the only one who had anything decent out of the whole box. That is, everything else had to be cut down to size, let out, pressed or passed on to the rummage sale the Salvation Army held once a year in Renfrew. The whole evening was spent pawing over the clothes from Regina, with Emerson still insisting the one prize in the entire box, the Alpaca sweater beNews Editors: Laurie Weir, Joe Morin, Ashley Kulp REPORTERS: Howaida Sorour, Tara Gesner, Desmond Devoy, Kelly Kent, Laura Armstrong DISTRIBUTION: Lori Sommerdyk, 613-283-3182 ,ext. 138 Classified/Regional Roundup 613-283-3182 Judy Michaelis x122 email: jmichaelis@theemc.ca Cheryl Code x133 email: cheryl.code@metroland.com Fax: 613-283-5909

longed to him. Earl had rolled it into a ball, and it was under his arm, and as far as he was concerned, he owned it, lock, stock and barrel! Even when we were on our knees around Mother saying our nightly prayers, Earl never let go of the sweater, and we knew he would be wearing it the next day to the Northcote School. Well, at the crack of dawn, which was when we five children were roused from our warm beds, all heck broke loose! Earl, who only cried if he was physically hurt, was crying like he had lost an arm. Between sobs he was calling Emerson every vile name he could think of. Mother left making the porridge and took the stairs two at a time to settle whatever was causing the uproar. Well, it was plain to see what had happened, and it was going to take a genius to fix it. In fact, not even a genius could repair the damage.

How Emerson did what he did without being heard through the night would forever remain a mystery. But somehow he had snuck downstairs to Mother’s sewing basket; gotten her good scissors that no one could touch, and cut out the sleeves of the sweater. And there he stood, fully dressed with a clean plaid shirt and over the top was the now-sleeveless sweater. He ignored the fact that it barely touched his waist. The arms fit, and to Emerson that was all that mattered. Now, Earl was small, but he was powerful when he was in full anger mode, and he attacked Emerson with fists flying. Everyone stood around in the upstairs hall, which was really Audrey’s and my bedroom, too stunned to enter into the battle. Even Mother looked like she had turned to stone. Earl grabbed at the sweater, latching onto a shoulder where it had been relieved of one of its sleeves, and See MARY page 9 • Advertising rates and terms and conditions are according to the rate card in effect at time advertising published. • The advertiser agrees that the publisher shall not be liable for damages arising out of errors in advertisements beyond the amount charged for the space actually occupied by that portion of the advertisement in which the error occurred, whether such error is due to negligence of its servants or otherwise... and there shall be no liability for non-insertion of any advertisement beyond the amount charged for such advertisement. • The advertiser agrees that the copyright of all advertisements prepared by the Publisher be vested in the Publisher and that those advertisements cannot be reproduced without the permission of the Publisher. • The Publisher reserves the right to edit, revise or reject any advertisement.

Earl didn’t think the penalty was severe enough, and so all the time Emerson was at his “Girl chores,” Earl sat on the bench behind the table making faces and sneering in Emerson’s direction. Emerson dared not complain, because he knew Mother could easily add another house chore to his punishment...like peeling potatoes or making the toast in the morning. More girl chores!

THANK YOU,

MARY pulled with all his might. And right before our eyes, the piece of yarn he had a firm hold on, reamed off the sweater, falling in a soft mound on the bedroom floor. Soon there was very little left to that side of the sweater. It was unravelling and if Earl kept at it, soon there would be nothing left but the band on the bottom! Well, there was nothing to do but admit that was the last of the Alpaca sweater. Audrey said she doubted if even the wool could be saved. Mother said she would think of a punishment for Emerson after we had all gone to school, and she could get her wits about her. All the way out the long lane, Emerson walked half a mile behind us, like someone with leprosy. If there was anything Emerson hated, it was doing house chores. Mother

Renowned climate change expert to speak at April 14 public meeting

The speaker Jim Bruce was the first director of the Canadian Centre for Inland waterways in Burlington and was active in drafting the US/Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement 1972 and 1978. Subsequently he was assistant deputy minister of environmental management and of atmospheric environment service (weather service) of Environment Canada. After leaving the federal government he served in senior positions in the World Meteorological Organization in Geneva, Switzerland. He led in the establishment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and for several years participated in their various working groups on economic and social dimensions of climate change and water impacts. For his work with IPCC, he was selected as a member of the IPCC delegation to receive that organization’s Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo in 2007. More recently he has acted as a consultant on climate change adaptation for many national and international projects.

Tuberculosis skin test sometimes required for work, school Community – TB stands for Tuberculosis. It is an infectious disease that usually attacks the lungs. Although the incidence of TB is low in our area, it is important to prevent the spread of Tuberculosis and protect vulnerable people. As a way to protect vulnerable populations, a TB skin test may be required by employers, agencies, colleges and universities. Tuberculosis is spread from person to person through the air, when people with TB cough, laugh, sneeze, sing, or even talk. However, to be infected with TB, a person usually has to have repeated contact with someone who has TB disease. Signs and symptoms of TB disease include: cough lasting three or more weeks, fatigue, night sweats, loss of appetite, fever, weight loss and positive TB skin test There is a difference between being infected with TB and having TB disease. Someone who is infected with TB has the TB germs, or bacteria, in their body. The body’s defences are protecting them and they are not sick. Someone with TB disease is sick and can spread the disease to other people. A person with TB disease needs to see a doctor as soon as possible. Testing for TB can be done at the health unit and at many doctors’ offices. It will require two trips – one to have the test done and one to have the test read and interpreted two to three days later. For more information about TB, visit www.healthunit.org/infectious/tb/ tb.htm. or call 1-800-660-5853.

Bruce holds a Masters degree in Physics (Meteorology) from the University of Toronto and Honorary Doctorates from The University of Waterloo and McMaster University.

Registered dietitian Dianne Oickle of the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit shared ideas and tips on how to engage children in cooking. Depending on their age, toddlers, preschool or school aged, all children can help and learn about food and how it is prepared. Being hands on, children feel part of the food preparations and are much more likely to eat healthy nutritious meals. ing them how to cut, with minimal safety risk.” Helping to set the table is another way for children to learn and be helpful in the kitchen. As for school age, Oickle agreed that the kitchen is the perfect classroom as children can read a recipe for literacy proficiency, measure the ingredients for math, mix and cook which is related to the sciences and it is a great way to learn. “That’s also a good age to mea-

sure out the ingredients for baking and even making the dish,” encouraged Oickle. “Make a tortilla wrap with different fillings, toss a salad with the dressing, pick out a recipe, put together yogurt and fruit, cereal and milk or peanut butter spread on bread.” For all children as they progress in learning about food, how to use kitchen utensils, they also develop fine motor skills. “They think they are cooking even when they are not

Lifestyle – Teaching children how to cook helps them to make healthy food choices, appreciate food and learn a skill that will benefit them as they grow older. “The more children do in a kitchen, the better it is all the way around,” said registered dietician Dianne Oickle of the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit. “Even to know the difference between the types of knives is a safety aspect in the kitchen. The kitchen is a perfect classroom for a kid.” Oickle even feels that toddlers can be of help while learning about colours, textures, smells and the use some math skills. “If you have chopped carrots or sliced cucumbers, perhaps they can count these,” said Oickle, “which will keep them busy, engaged and feel part of making the meal.” She also mentioned that when children are involved in preparing food, they are more likely to eat the foods they have helped with. Other tasks could include stirring a mixture in a bowl, washing vegetables, empty ingredients from measuring cups, putting paper in the muffin tins, adding chopped items to a casserole. “This teaches them that we prepare food and there’s a role in preparing food and that they have a role, as part of the family,” said Oickle. “What is an apple; what is an orange, what do you do with it and some fruits you eat the skin and some you can’t. They learn those basic things even at a toddler’s age. For preschoolers, they can assist with pouring a liquid from a measuring cup, mashing cooked vegetables, counting the number of carrots from a bag, remove shells from hard-boiled eggs, make a trail mix or stir ingredients together. “Safety in the kitchen is always the most important thing, whether talking about toddlers, preschoolers or any age of kids,” indicated Oickle. “A regular bread and butter knife or spreader with a dull edge can be used with really ripe fruit to cut into pieces. There is skill involved in teach-

ily value cooking food.” Oickle has referenced Simply Cook and Enjoy, as well as information from the Dairy Farmers of Canada. For free resources or to talk with a registered dietitian at no

Broadway classic The Lion in Winter opens April 3 at Studio Theatre Arts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Kings and castles, knights and fair ladies, schemes and skulduggery. Has there ever been a more captivating formula for entertainment? Starting April 3, the stage of Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Studio Theatre will be transformed into a 12th century English royal court as James Goldmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Lion in Winter roars to life for seven thrilling performances. When The Lion in Winter burst onto the Broadway scene in 1966 it was an instant sensation. Three years later, the film adaptation starring Peter Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Toole, Katherine Hepburn and Anthony Hopkins won a host of international awards. And now, when this monumental play about medieval intrigue arrives at the Studio Theatre it will feature our

own cast of acting greats, under the direction of theatre veteran Kathie Reid. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Lion in Winter is a sharp, witty period piece, a deliciously dark comedy that challenges our actors and the audience,â&#x20AC;? says director Kathie Reid. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had my heart set on directing this classic play for some time, and this year my wish was granted.â&#x20AC;? The play is set in 1183 AD at the court of King Henry II, during Christmas. But this is no merry yuletide story; the aging, conniving monarch has planned a reunion where he hopes to name his successor. To that end he has summoned his scheming wife, Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine; his mistress, Princess Alais, whom he hopes to marry; his three sons,

Richard, Geoffrey, and John, all of whom have designs on the throne; and the young but crafty King Philip of France, who is also Alaisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; brother. Naturally, with the fate of the empire in the balance, everyone engages in their own brand of deception and treachery to stake their claim to the throne, taking sibling rivalry â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and ribaldry â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to new heights. The Lion in Winter, more than most plays, demands skilled actors, and Reid has found them. Playing the part of the shrewd Henry II is well-known thespian David Bird; Janet Rice is his queen, the stately Eleanor of Aquitaine. Lucas Tennant, Scott Duncan and Mark Daley are Henryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three sons, while Julian Rice-Laprisse plays the young

French king, Philip, and Mary Ann Majoury is Philipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s halfsister Alais. A powerful cast, portraying a powerful family. Of course, with a play of this scope and complexity (there are nine scene changes in all, brilliantly conceived by set designer Earl Sonnenburg and set painter Bruce Raby) there is often as much going on behind the curtain as there is on stage. Stage manager Roberta Peet, lighting director Yogi Sepp, and props manager Margaret Wilkinson â&#x20AC;&#x201C; along with a host of costumers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are the

backstage stars of the show. Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Studio Theatre Productions continues to push the boundaries of community theatre, with plays that broaden the range of our local actors, and extend the creative vision of our set designers. Shows like The Lion in Winter prove that the Studio Theatre has truly arrived as an artistic force to be reckoned with. And the theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new elevator and bright new lobby make the entire experience more rewarding and accessible than ever. The Lion in Winter runs April

3, 4, 5, 11 and 12 at 8 p.m., and April 6 and 13 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance at The Book Nook (613-267-2350), and $22 at the door or at Tickets Please in Perth, which accepts phone, credit card and online orders (613485-6434, www.ticketsplease. ca). Students with ID pay just $10 at the door. For further information, call the Studio Theatre box office at 613-267-7469 or visit studiotheatreperth.com. Submitted by the Studio Theatre.

Dreaming about the 40 shades of green and Irish landscape time was 2006 and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re overdue for another visit. Our good friends and travel companions Wendy and Frank LeBlanc have been to many places. But theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never visited Ireland. We have been talking about going there together for a couple of years. Now we have penciled it in for this summer. We will visit both the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland which, of course, remains part of the United Kingdom. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Emerald Isleâ&#x20AC;? is steeped in history which makes it a perfect destination for us because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all so interested in history. There are three things about the island which are keys. My wife and I both had grandfathers who were born there. Kathyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paternal grandfather was from Dublin. My maternal grandfather was born and raised in Belfast. My fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ancestors are from Enniskillen in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. In fact the Maguires were one of the most prominent and powerful clans in the north. They were â&#x20AC;&#x153;the chiefs of Fer-

Reflections JEFF MAGUIRE

managhâ&#x20AC;? dating back to 1302. The Maguires controlled Lough (lake) Erne and the river of the same name. The river and its lakes (Lough Erne is really two large lakes) formed the chief high road through Fermanagh in ancient times. Kathyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandfather was a cooper (a barrel maker) who ended up practicing his vocation on both sides of the Atlantic. With reference to my wife, have you ever heard a name any more Irish than Kathleen Maguire? No one ever asks Kathleen about her roots. They know automatically! The second reason we love Ireland is its people. Despite â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Troublesâ&#x20AC;? which have afflicted the north for far too long, the people of Ireland, north and south, are some of the finest we have ever had the pleasure to

meet. They are genuinely friendly, outgoing and helpful. On the first night of our second visit to the island, in September 2006, we took a taxi from our hotel in the Ballsbridge district of Dublin to Temple Bar, the thriving entertainment area in the city centre, on the south side of the River Liffey. Driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tip Our driver was a local, something which is rare in the big cities of Europe but common in Ireland. We asked him to set us down at the end of Grafton Street, the pedestrianized main shopping thoroughfare in the heart of the Irish capital. The man chatted amiably with us throughout the short drive. He was particularly pleased to discover our Irish heritage. We Irish stick together!

At Grafton Street Kathy produced her purse to pay him. It was an uneven amount and he asked her to round it off which meant we paid less than the fare showing on the meter. On top of that he refused her offer of a tip. Instead he provided a tip of his own! â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now you be havinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; a good time at da pub. But watch out for da Romas,â&#x20AC;? he advised. Realizing we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what he meant he clarified the matter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gypsies! Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll snatch your purse and be gone in a heartbeat,â&#x20AC;? he warned Kathy. At that time Romania was on the verge of admission to the European Union. A relatively large number of Romanians had gained admission to Ireland. Most were hoping to find better lives although sadly that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worked out very well. Unfortunately a number of them gave all Romanians a bad name by becoming involved in panhandling, begging and petty crime, especially in Dublin which has nearly one-quarter of the Republic of Irelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

population of 4.6 million. Many months after our visit I read newspaper stories about the Irish government rounding up many so-called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Romasâ&#x20AC;? and airlifting them back to

their native land. Based on complaints from the Irish government the Romanian authorities followed suit, offering free flights home See COLUMN page 20 R0012172507_TF

Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Monday March 17 was St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day so the â&#x20AC;&#x153;wearing of the greenâ&#x20AC;? is over for another year. This spring, however, it is not the green related to St. Pattyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day that is on my mind. Instead I am thinking about the â&#x20AC;&#x153;40 shades of greenâ&#x20AC;? inherent to Ireland. After the winter we have just come through, the first sprouts of green grass have never been more anticipated. Spring officially arrived last Thursday, followed by more winter. I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be happy until I see grass growing, leaves sprouting and blossoms appearing. The sooner the better! My wife Kathleen and I are not winter travellers. We prefer the spring, summer and fall for our excursions, including overseas trips. When winter arrives we batten down the hatches and dream of what lies ahead. Early in the New Year, when the spring and summer brochures arrived at our travel agentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, our focus was on Ireland. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been there twice and loved it. But the last

for its citizens. All of that aside, our third reason for loving Ireland is the weather. It can be very wet of course. But sitting in the Atlantic, off the northwest coast of mainland Europe (and very close to Great Britain), the country has a maritime climate. In March the average daytime temperature is 10 Celsius (C) or 50 Fahrenheit (F). The lowest monthly averages are in January and February when the temperature is generally a moderate 8C (46F). The warmest months are July and August when, on average, the mercury reaches a comfortable 17C (63F). Last week here I would gladly have settled for 8C! It was late September (2006) when we called a cab to take us from our hotel in Limerick to the nearby international airport at Shannon on Ireland’s west coast. It was the end of our Irish stay and we were catching a flight to Manchester, England to visit friends there. As usual in Ireland the cabbie was a native. It was a cool afternoon and we were both wearing light jackets. I noticed he was sporting a short sleeve shirt. Like most of his countrymen he was friendly and talkative. He wanted to know where we had been and where we were going. I asked him about the weather in the Limerick region. How cold it gets in winter, for example. “You see this,” he said, tugging on the sleeve of his shirt. “This is my uniform year round!” Yes, rain or no rain we love the weather in Ireland! The secret for visitors is to go prepared with a raincoat and brolly. But if you don’t like the weather wait five minutes and it will probably change. Irish showers are normally followed by warming sunshine. The cycle often repeats itself several times a day. Rail vs. road For us the train is the preferred method of travel in Ireland. The island is sparsely populated. Add those living in Northern Ireland (about 1.8 million) and the entire country has fewer than 6.5 million residents. Except for some four-lane roads which provide access to Dublin, the

largest city on the island, all of the highways are two lanes (or “single carriageway” as they say in Ireland and the UK). If you rent a vehicle the going can be slow because many of the routes are winding and narrow. Distances are reasonable of course. At its longest Ireland is just 302 miles (486 kilometres) in length. At its widest the island is 189 miles (304 km). The history of the island is intriguing with estimates of the first human habitation dating to 8000 BC. There are prehistoric monuments (including numerous stone circles), monastic ruins and sacred towers all across Ireland. Highlights in the south include the monastic settlement at Glendalough and the gardens and striking mansion at Powerscourt Estate, both in County Wicklow south of Dublin. On the west coast you can view the barren, stony topography of the Burren or visit the magnificent Cliffs of Moher. On the east coast, just across the border in Northern Ireland is Downpatrick and impressive Down Cathedral where St. Patrick is said to be buried. Go to the top of the country and travel the rugged Antrim Coast, making a mandatory stop at the impressive Giant’s Causeway. In Belfast you can view the Northern Ireland Parliament Buildings at Stormont. But seeing the areas at the heart of “The Troubles” is a must in my opinion. Back in bustling Dublin there is so much to see and do. A visit to St. James Gate Brewery, where Ireland’s famous “black nectar” Guinness stout is brewed, is a highlight for beer lovers. Every visitor gets a free pint! If you don’t like Guinness you’ll enjoy the 360degree views of Dublin from the taproom, high atop the Guinness storehouse. There is much to recommend Ireland and we are eagerly anticipating our visit this summer. Following a winter we are still trying to shake in early spring, it is Ireland’s 40 shades of green that are most appealing to me!

SAFETY TIPS Candles: If you use candles, make sure you keep them away from all combustible materials. Never leave them unattended and place them out of reach of young children. Candles should be placed in solid, secure candle holders and protected by a glass chimney.

All proceeds go toward emergency funds. There are approximately 43 items available to bid on. This is a great opportunity to shop and help your local no-kill animal shelter! To bid on an item, visit www.facebook.com/friendsofLAWS. Shelter update Although it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like it, spring has sprung! Spring is a very busy time at the shelter and we already have three litters of kittens to welcome the season. Keep an eye on our website for these sweet little guys as they become available for adoption. Due to the influx of kittens that occurs in the spring months, we seek the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assistance with helping us get stocked up on kitten milk formula and kitten canned food. Kitten season is a time of year where we utilize our available foster homes the most. If you have ever considered being a foster parent to an animal, please visit our website at: www.lanarkanimals.ca and select the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fostering Infoâ&#x20AC;? under the â&#x20AC;&#x153;How to Helpâ&#x20AC;? tab on our homepage.

happy and content. Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) is located on Glenview Road, just off Highway 43, about 2 kilometres west of Smiths Falls. The shelter is open Monday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Write to us at P.O. Box 156, Smiths Falls, ON K7A 4T1 or contact us at 613-283-9308, or email at shelter@lanarkanimals.ca.

This Weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pets these beautiful calico girls a chance? These three beauties came in together from a feral colony of cats back in November 2013. Although much progress has been made with their socialization here at the shelter, they are still quite unsure of humans and may socialize better out of the shelter in a home environment. They can be adopted all together or separately. A patient, experienced cat owner is strongly recommended for these girls. Jada She may be a child of the snow, but this one-year-old Husky mix is as warm as her thick, plush coat. With her alert expression and perfectly sculpted features, Jadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique beauty is more than skin deep. She is highly intelligent, a very fast learner who knows some of her basic commands, and is eager to learn more. She is also outgoing and playful, extremely enthusiastic and endearingly sociable with all people and some dogs. Adoring and adorable, she has good off-leash recall and a high level of energy.

OPP highlights dangers of romance fraud News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Fraud committed through romance and dating scams continue to rise according to members of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) AntiRackets Branch. The criminals seek their potential victims online, generally single or recently unattached people. Usually this occurs through singles and datingrelated â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;meetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; websites, social media platforms, or e-mail blasts. In some cases, prolonged interaction with individuals has cost some victims tens of thousands of dollars before the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;relationshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ends, usually without ever meeting in person. According to the Canadian Anti-

Fraud Centre, in 2013 there were 1,728 complaints from Canada of romance fraud â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a year-over-year increase of nearly 300. Of those complaints, 1,149 victims â&#x20AC;&#x201C; often female â&#x20AC;&#x201C; were identified and their combined financial losses exceeded $15.6 million â&#x20AC;&#x201C; more than any other identified financial loss due to fraud. If you suspect you or someone you know has been a victim of romance fraud, or if you have already sent funds, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be embarrassed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not alone. Contact your local police service or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477 (TIPS). Submitted by the OPP.

Mississippi Mudds’ Fox on the Fairway opens this week to many, is played by our favourite diva Michele Eno. Richard “Dickie” Bell, sleazy director of Quail Valley Golf Club and ex-husband of Pamela, is played with aplomb by Chris Jones. Brian McManus, director, and Cait Morton, assistant director, have been so supportive developing these characters to bring them to life on stage. Mudds brochures were printed before stage dates were changed for this show, so if you had planned to see this play or know of anyone who wanted to see it in May, don’t forget to reschedule! We are performing this weekend and the first weekend of April. Don’t be disappointed. Dates are March 28, 29 and April 4 and 5 at 8 p.m. and March 30 at 2 p.m. Tickets, $20, available at the Carleton Place Chamber of Commerce (132 Coleman St.), or at the door. 613-257-1976. For more information, visit mississippimudds.ca. Joanne Samler is a producer with the Mississippi Mudds.

Arts – The Mississippi Mudds’ Fox on the Fairway will be on the stage at the Carleton Place Town Hall starting this week. How did it come up so quickly? Henry Bingham is tearing his hair out trying to win the tournament for his club Crouching Squirrel. Pamela is not helping to keep his mind on the game. Dickie just knows that Quail Valley is going to win the trophy again. Justin is besotted with Louise and definitely cannot keep his mind on the game and Muriel, well Muriel, she is a force to be reckoned with…she has a different game in mind. Come out and meet the Mudds madcap cast of characters in this farce. Romance, intrigue, double-cross…we have it all. Speaking of cast, let me introduce them to you. Perennial favourite Robert Horne plays Henry Bingham, Director of Crouching Squirrel Golf and Country Club. Muriel Bingham, Henry’s longsuffering wife – new to the farce stage – is admirably played by Sylvia Giles-Jones. Ever-popular Andrew McDougall plays Justin Hicks, our slaphappy new employee at Crouching Squirrel. Louise Heindbedder, Justin’s love interest, and just a little bit ditsy – another favourite of our farces, is played by Patti Lockhart. Pamela Peabody, cougar du jour, and love interest

Above, Louise (played by Patti Lockhart) is not quite sure what Justin (played by Andrew McDougall) is trying to show her when he tries to explain a golf swing to her in this scene from the Mississippi Mudds upcoming production of Fox on the Fairway at the Carleton Place Town Hall. Right, Henry (played by Robert Horne) and Pamela (played by Michele Eno) enjoy a toast of the bubbly during the tournament between Crouching Squirrel Golf and Country Club and Quail Valley Golf Club.

Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society launches 2014 season Community – Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society is launching its 2014 season with a meet and greet on Wednesday, April 2, at 7:15 p.m. at the Portland Community Hall. Tawse Winery of Niagara, voted Canadian Winery of the Year an unprecedented three years running (2010 to 2012), will present for tasting some wines akin to their awardwinning 2010 Carly’s Block Reisling, Estate Chardonnay, Laundry Vineyard Cabernet Franc and Meritage. The wine tastings will be accompanied by a selection of local artisan cheeses. Bushgarden Farmstead Cheese on Bush Road, just south of Elgin, will provide some of their fine cow’s milk cheeses. If your pleasure is sheep’s milk cheese, Milkhouse Farm and Dairy, on Matheson Drive north of Smiths Falls, will be happy to share their experience and tastes of their cheeses. The evening’s educational portion is all about biodynamics – the science of life-forces that recognizes the basic principles at work in nature and applies them to agricultural practices to bring about balance. A biodynamic vineyard produces what it needs and purges what it doesn’t need, without using anything sourced externally. Biodynamics applied to the growing of grapes is the latest big trend in the best vineyards all over Europe. Tawse Winery will share some of their secrets for growing grapes using biodynamic principles. This event is for members only, and a guest. Not a member? Not to worry. Memberships may be purchased at the event. A membership is $15 for the year and entitles you to six more evenings of enlightenment and camaraderie on all things horticultural. You might be pleasantly surprised what that gets you into! Guest speakers this season will discuss topics ranging from trees that will

save the world to those dam builders, beavers, with garlic, ticks, and trends in vegetable growing and Christmas decorating thrown in in good measure. A day trip to Rideau Woodland Ramble in Merrickville-Wolford is planned for the July 2 meeting. You can pick up a bookmark listing this year’s program of events at your local branch of the Rideau Lakes Public Library. Refreshments are provided by members at each meeting, which is always held the first Wednesday of the month and generally at the same time and location. Proceeds from membership go toward the society’s many community projects. Last year, the society installed a pollinator garden at the corner of Highway 15 and Chaffeys Lock Road, and supported the Community of Gardens initiative led by Country Roads

Community Health Centre. Every year, a student from Rideau High School receives a bursary for post-secondary studies related to horticulture. This year, the society will coach students on starting seedlings, plant another pollinator garden, and undertake a planting of edible trees and shrubs that will be open to the public to share in the produce. You don’t have to be an avid gardener to enjoy the society. Even if you don’t garden at all, it’s a great place to learn and get involved in making our communities more beautiful and sustainable. So, come grow with us! For more information, visit www. gardenontario.org/site.php/rideaulakes. Yvonne Helwig is a member of the Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society and editor of their publication, The Lilypad.

One in 10 Canadians has kidney disease Lifestyle – The facts are startling. One in 10 Canadians has kidney disease, which is one of the top 10 causes of death in Canada. Most Canadians don’t know the vital role that kidneys play and that they can lose up to 80 per cent of their kidney function – without even being aware of it. Throughout March, which is Kidney Health Month, Canadians are encouraged to learn more about their kidney health and potential risk. The Kidney Foundation of Canada has made this a bit easier through the development of a simple online assessment tool to better understand your risk of developing kidney disease. Early detection is key to delaying the progression of this disease. Visit www.kidney.ca/risk to understand your personal risk factors. If the assessment shows that you are at risk, talk to your health care provider and find out if you should be tested.

A recent survey by the Kidney Foundation of Canada shows that nearly 60 per cent of Canadians are unaware that the two most common and preventable causes of end-stage kidney disease are diabetes and high blood pressure – illnesses that are often preventable. Research shows that people from Asian, South Asian, Aboriginal or African-Caribbean communities experience a higher incidence of diabetes and high blood pressure, the two leading causes of kidney disease. Other factors that can put you at risk include having a family member with kidney disease, being 50 years or older and carrying excess weight. You and your loved ones can take action by learning more about your kidney health. Knowing your blood pressure and blood sugar numbers and keeping them under control can help prevent kidney disease.

As home heating bills continue to skyrocket, REAL recommends actions If you use electricity, and everyone does, the qualifications are basically the same, but contact GreenSaver at 855591-0877 or search for Home Assistance Program, GreenSaver, or Home Assistance Program, Hydro One online for the details. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get bogged down by the process. Both will require that you send documents to prove your eligibility. But, the audits and all the actions are free to you. You could end up with new appliances, and more insulation in your attic and basement, all for free. It costs less for utilities to invest in making your home more energy efficient than it does for them to build new power plants or bring in more (expensive) natural gas. For those who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take advantage of these programs, or who want more detailed knowledge about their own particular houses and environmental footprints, REAL continues to provide an extensive range of thorough home

energy audit services. REALâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certified energy advisor, Alan Leonard, is a home performance expert with 30 years experience in construction and building science, and eight years experience in audits. He is very conscientious and dedicated to giving you impartial advice. We all know we need more insulation and that we should seal up cracks. But, an energy audit of your own house provides you with the specific information you need for that house, and, critically, helps you decide where you will get the greatest payback for your investment. The written report recommends the measures that help you to most effectively save on your energy bills. If you have home energy problems such as ice damming, condensation on windows, dry air, cold or drafty rooms or summer overheating, the energy advisor can diagnose the problem and

suggest the best solution. The advisor performs a thorough basement to attic evaluation of your home, including insulation, windows, doors, HVAC and water heating. An air leakage test is done with a blower door to determine how drafty your house is, where the leaks are, and the best air sealing method. All this information is gathered to create a computer model that simulates the performance of your home and helps guide your advisor in making recommendations. Depending on your needs, REALâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advisor is also able to use thermography to assess your house problems. The Canadian Electricity Association will provide you with a customized written energy efficiency evaluation report that rates the current efficiency of your house, gives specific improvement recommendations and calculates the energy savings that you can expect from your upgrades.

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; With electricity and propane costs already skyward bound, and natural gas soon to follow, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s making more sense to invest in making your house more energy efficient. There are two programs that can help if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re low income. But the income level is so high that roughly half of Lanark County would qualify. For example, to qualify, a two-person household, whether renting or owning, must have a combined income of about $39,000 or less, or receive one of a range of supports including the GIS (Guaranteed Income Supplement) or ODSP (Ontario Disability Support Program). Check these programs to see if you qualify. If you heat with natural gas, contact Envirocentre in Ottawa toll free at 1-877-580-2582 or find details about the program at their website at http:// envirocentre.ca/services/weatherization-program/.

New attractions planned for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Valley Fishing and Outdoor show Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Outdoor sports enthusiasts will be taking aim on the Carp Fairgrounds April 4-6 for the 14th annual Valley Fishing and Outdoor Show. Organizer Dave Arbour of Carleton Place, says the event will have something for everyone, including some new wrinkles this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The show is well-established but this year has a lot of new vendors that will add a new flavour to it,â&#x20AC;? he said. In addition to a massive gun show that will be featured in the arena and the hall, the show will have a wide range of hunting and fishing equipment for sale, including archery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year we are featuring new lures that have never been seen in this area, and are not available in stores,â&#x20AC;? said Arbour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seafour lures are the

newest.â&#x20AC;? And for anglers who want to extend their techniques, the show will feature fly fishing demonstrations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Fly Fishers of Ottawa will do a demo and teach people how to fly fish,â&#x20AC;? he said. People from all over the region attend the show, along with outdoors activists from Quebec, Cornwall, Peterborough, Belleville, Cornwall, Barryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay, and up to Algonquin Park. On Saturday, a highlight will be the duck and goose calling competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Three judges are hidden and people will go through a series of different calls and will be judged accordingly,â&#x20AC;? explained Arbour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Prizes will be given for top callers.â&#x20AC;? There will also be a turkey calling competition Arbour and his wife will be testing people for their wild turkey hunting

licence. To be eligible to take the test, applicants first have to first purchase the Ontario Wild Turkey Hunter Education Course on DVD. It is available from the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters at www.ofah-cps. com/turkey/DVD.cfm. Seminars will be held on turkey hunting, trailering and calling ducks and geese. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have got it all covered. Hunting apparel, tackle guns. There will even be boats and ATVs,â&#x20AC;? said Arbour. Another popular attraction is the big buck, moose and bear skulls contest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People bring in mounted heads and they are scored by a measurement between antlers. They will win prizes. We also have hidden prizes,â&#x20AC;? Arbour noted. Bear skulls are usually

not mounted. Kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; activities include a casting pond and fishing pond. They can win prizes such as lures and fishing rods. Children can also try out bows in the archery area. There will be a full line of archery equipment from local stores. Even a kangaroo On Sunday, the big attraction will be Jungle Cat World. This will be all different animals from previous years. It is an educational event, featured at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are critters that you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see around here. They even have a kangaroo,â&#x20AC;? said Arbour.

and deliver it in sufficient amounts on demand. While a lot of technology under the hood of a vehicle has changed over the years, batteries are still pretty much the same as when they were first designed, save for some changes in outer case materials. The cells still have a considerable amount of lead and a very corrosive acid is the medium liquid. I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have replaced either the original or the second battery simply for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;weak crankingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The test results supplied for the second Mazda battery was well above an acceptable level at over 10 volts. The CTC replacement was rated at 650 cold crank amps (the amount of power the battery should deliver in its operating temperature range) and thus is more powerful than the original batteries, hence a better test result. Mazda, like most automakers, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t manufacture their own batteries, but instead purchase them from an outside supplier and then re-label them with their own logos. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never heard of a commonplace problem with their batteries. After a vehicle reaches three years of age its battery should be tested at a minimum on an annual basis and if possible twice a year (early summer and early winter). While inexpensive load testers can provide some information on a batteryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s condition, a fully electronic and computerized charge/test station should be used. This equipment will ensure the battery is at a full state of charge before the load test is applied and will limit the load to the batteryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capacity resulting in a very accurate answer. And to the surprise of many drivers, just as many batteries fail in the heat of summer as do in the cold of winter. For our readerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concern of parking the vehicle in a remote area with no access to power for the engine heater, I

Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hi Brian, I find your articles about the car maintenance and repair industry to be very helpful and now I have a problem to ask you about. My 2010 Mazda 5 with 80,000km (bought new in December 2009) is already on its third battery. The first one was changed by the dealer under warranty at 48,000 km in January 2012, after only two years, because the cranking capacity at -18ÂşC was noticeably weak and I lacked confidence that it would start the engine when overnight temperatures went into the -20s. Now two years later (actually December 2013), the same thing happened again: weak at -18 and no confidence that it would start in the -20s. I bought a battery load tester and the battery tested at the very bottom of the green zone (approximately 10.5 volts). Note that the Mazda battery is rated at 570 cold-crank amps. The dealer said that 9.4 volts under load was within â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;specsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; but I knew this would not start the engine when Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cold temperatures returned. Now that the car was off warranty, I had to buy a battery. I purchased it at Canadian Tire (CTC) and ran my tests on it. (It responded better at 11.8 volts under load). I sometimes take friends to a remote cabin (where I cannot connect the block heater) and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to risk a no-start with a known-to-be weak battery. My question for you is why is the batteryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capacity getting low after only two years with my car when my friendsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; car batteries are easily lasting six years (as did the batteries on all of my previous cars)? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do short trips and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have add-on electrical accessories. The parasitic draw test results (the amount of electricity the clock, radio and computer memory systems use when the car is turned off) are within spec. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve contacted Mazda Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Customer Relations but they have not been helpful.â&#x20AC;? FB I asked this reader for some more information and they confirmed the vehicle is usually parked in an unheated garage overnight and the block heater is used on cold nights. Basically a battery has to do two things: store electrical power

Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Eric Jensen writes from Simcoe, Ont.: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hi Bill: My most enjoyable car has been my 1968 Cadillac Sedan de Ville 4-door hardtop. It had always been my ambition to own a classic car. At last it came to pass through a wandering story. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An older couple had originally purchased this car in 1968. Sadly, they each died shortly after their trip to their Florida home. Apparently, the car was put in storage for a period of time, after which a young couple purchased the car. Later, the wife decided she preferred a different model for her own use. The husband put it up for sale and I purchased this dream in one day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The car came with all the original documents, all the original sales advertisements, some family photos, and some Florida sand on the front carpet. This car has a 472 cubic inch engine (375 horsepower) which easily floats the car safely down the roadways. After 45 years, we have only 67,000 miles on the odometer, and the car has no problems or concerns. My youngest son is 46 years old and still being single drives it on every opportunity to any location. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During the summer and fall,

OPP wrap up distracted driving campaign News – The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has concluded its recent Distracted Driving campaign and is reminding drivers that as of March 18, new legislation kicks in that will have officers issuing much heftier fines to those caught using a hand held device or watching an entertainment device while driving. During the March 8 to 14 campaign, officers throughout the province were busy raising awareness among motorists that using a hand-held device and engaging in other forms of distraction while driving is a dangerous behaviour that, for three years in a row (from 20112013) has taken the lives of more innocent people than impaired driving (on OPP

patrolled roads). A total of 11 people have died so far this year (2014) in distracted driving related collisions on OPP patrolled roads and, according to some of the OPP’s Facebook followers, the public recognizes how serious a threat this driving behaviour poses to road users. “I see many people driving and using their cell phones and not paying attention (to) traffic. They should be kept off of roads,” said one follower. The OPP is reminding drivers that effective March 18, distracted driving fines increase from $155 to $280 (this includes the $225 fine plus a $50 victim fine surcharge and $5 court cost). Submitted by the Ontario Provincial Police.

UCDSB students compete in trades in Cornwall News – Students from across the Upper Canada District School Board tested their mettle in the trades Feb. 26 at the Skills Canada Regional Competition at St. Lawrence College. About 170 students from the board participated in several trades events from small engine repair to TV video production, with the winners earning a chance to move on to the provincial competition this May in Kitchener. Competitions at the event included: aesthetics, auto service technology, cabinet making, hairstyling, photography, small engines, journalism, photography, two-person carpentry, culinary, and welding. Winners included: Mitchell Ferguson, gold, culinary, Gananoque Secondary School; Megan Moreau, gold, job interview, Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute; Abigail Graves, gold, prepared speech, Russell High School; Rebecca Anderson, gold, hairstyling, Cornwall Collegiate and Vocational School; Tiffany Roskell and Ashley Smith, bronze, two-person carpentry, Seaway District High School; Cody Edgley, silver, cabinet making, Athens District High School; Cole Tessier, gold, auto service technology, Glengarry District High School; and Will Freeland, silver, auto service technology, Tagwi Secondary School. Alex MacDougall, the board’s Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program facilitator, said the competition offered several benefits for participants. “We’re introducing secondary students to the trades through these competitions,”

said MacDougall. “We also feel it’s a good team-building exercise for these students as a lot of these competitions are done with partners. “It also gives students an opportunity to meet kids from other schools.” It’s important to expose students to the trades because there will be a growing number of jobs available in future as current tradespeople retire, he said. Four out of ten new jobs over the next twenty years will be in the trades. By the year 2020, Canada will be short one million tradespeople. In Ontario alone, 26 per cent of skilled workers will be retiring over the next 10 years. Students said the competition provides a good snapshot of life in the trades, allowing them to decide if a trade is right for their future. Connor Findlay, a 16-yearold student at North Dundas District High School, competed in the auto service technician event. Findlay said his event provided a wide variety of experiences in the trade from using diagnostic computers to analyze electrical problems to identifying issues with the brakes on a pickup truck. Seaway District High School students Roskell and Smith returned to compete in two-person carpentry for the third year in a row, taking the bronze medal. “It’s hands-on and it’s fun,” Roskell said. “It’s also nice to have a partner to talk to and it works really well... We’ve learned how to do things faster and better (over the three years).” Submitted by the Upper Canada District School Board.

Museum unveils Made in Perth exhibit By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

News – The first pair of scissors, soaps, beer, pepper jelly, baking supplies and more are on display at the Perth Museum to honour manufacturing past and present in Perth. Mayor John Fenik welcomed invited guests Thursday, March 20 to see the new exhibit on display at the museum that features a large gamut of articles from a wide array of manufacturing companies that have come and gone, and are up and running in town. “It will be a great opportunity for tourists and residents alike to see what Perth offered in terms of manufacturing, and for them to see what is going on here now,” Karen Rennie, tourism manager. “It’s really exciting and we’re looking forward to sharing our display with visitors to the museum.” Fenik was equally excited to see the display, as he said he had

been checking it out a few days prior to the official opening. “The work that has gone into this display is really amazing,” Fenik said. “From the scotch whiskey to the stones… the history of our manufacturing base in Perth is stunning. This exhibit is going to be so important for people to come and see because it just gives you such a sense of history.” He pointed to a photograph that depicted Stewart Park in 1909, the Tay River and grist mill where electricity was generated for the town, alluding to the fact that may be where electricity may come from again. “All these companies that are here represent the entrepreneurial spirit that keeps everything alive in this town,” Fenik said. “You have to be a special kind of person to make it work and on behalf of council and citizens I want to thank those who are here on behalf of the industry and small business owners who are here.”

Fenik encouraged people to “spend at least an hour in here” because there are some really fascinating things.” He added that when looking at all the wonderful stories that have gone on in Perth’s manufacturing past, “I can only look forward to our manufacturing future. I know that our population is around 5,800, but in town we employ over 6,000 people.” The exhibit - “Made in Perth – Manufacturing Past and Present” – will be open and on display at the museum through the summer and into October, said Rennie. The 1880s and the turn of the century represented an economic boom in Perth. Early businesses included carriagemakers, distilleries, furniture factories and tanneries. Historical highlights of the various industries as well as sample products produced during this era are on display in the exhibit. Today, businesses, both large and small, locate in Perth for

economic and strategic reasons. Large manufacturers include 3M Canada, Albany International, Central Wire Industries, Eaton, Shandex and OMYA (Canada) Inc. Smaller manufacturers include PUREST, Perth Pepper and Pestle and Perth Brewing Company. Their products are also on display. Museum board member Ellen Dean said it was a great exhibit to discover. “No one realizes what Perth had or what they have today,” she said. Doris Coates, another museum advisory panel volunteer, added: “It’s not just a pretty town, it’s also a working town.” The Perth Museum invites the public to discover industrial heritage in the new “Made in Perth!” exhibit running to Oct. 31, 2014. It will also be included as part of the Doors Open Perth event running Sept. 20, which will be focused on industry. For hours of operation, please call Rennie at 613-267-1947.

THE EMC - P1 - Thursday, March 27, 2014

News – Canada is a fundamentalist capitalist state, and we need to be wary of the KoolAid. That was the warning from local author, environmentalist, former Green Party candidate and carpenter Mike Nickerson of Lanark Highlands as he addressed the annual sustainability fair at Algonquin College’s Perth campus, March 20. For a man who was promoting a radical shift in the world economy – namely, the end of economic growth – making the pitch on the first day of spring made for an auspicious date. Nickerson is a proponent of the Transition Towns movement, which has taken root in Perth, and east and west ends of Ottawa, though it started in Britain, to provide the local provision of local needs. This will be brought about in part because “the use of fossil fuels will become increasingly hard to maintain.” While a longtime proponent of bartering, he conceded that it can be hard to do on a large, complex scale, but he was in favour of local currencies. When such a currency was tried in an Austrian village after the Second World War, “the money in that community was being used 14 times for every one time it (regular currency) was used in the outside area.” The idea has even been tried here in Ontario, with the Kawartha region adopting a socalled “Kawartha Loon.”

“McDonald’s isn’t going to take that loon,” said Nickerson. “But your local business knows that they can get things from other local businesses. They don’t want to run down the local economy.” For Nickerson, radically changing the economy is not simply a theoretical debate, but an imperative, because the current economic state is not sustainable. “The economy will have to grow four times in your life time,” to be sustainable, he said, pointing to the students seated in front of him. “The mainstream can’t deliver any more. They’re doing great for the one per cent (though).” He admitted that a locallybased economy does have one draw back from the perspective of a consumerist economy – “we are not making junk.” This new local economy will also see less travelling and luxury goods, so, “you’re going to have to learn to enjoy yourself…you can’t look for satisfaction in stuff. We are human beings. We are not human havings. You don’t need things to make you happy.” But finding something to fill the void should not be too hard. “Find a good friend, find an area of satisfaction…and you will find satisfaction for years,” he said. However, Matthew Chaikowsky, of Little Rock Farm in Portland, a vendor at the fair, challenged him on some of his

CARBON MONOXIDE SAFETY

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a deadly, colourless, odourless, poisonous gas. It is produced by the incomplete burning of various fuels, including coal, wood, charcoal, oil, kerosene, propane and natural gas. Products and equipment powered by internal combustion engines such as portable generators, cars, lawn mowers and power washers also produce CO. What are the symptoms of CO poisoning? Because CO is odourless, colourless and otherwise undetectable to human senses, people may not know that they are being exposed. The initial symptoms of CO poisoning are similar to the flu. They include headache, fatigue, shortness of breath, nausea and dizziness. Higher concentrations and lengthy exposure to CO can lead to death. How can I prevent CO poisoning? Make sure appliances are installed and operated according to the manufacturer’s instructions and local building codes. Have your heating system professionally inspected and serviced annually to ensure proper operation. Make sure exhaust pipes/chimneys are free and clear of obstructions. • Never operate a portable generator or any other gasoline engine-powered tool neither in nor near an enclosed space such as a garage, house or other building. • Never use portable fuel-burning camping equipment inside a home, garage, vehicle or tent unless it is specifically designed for use in an enclosed space and provides instructions for safe use in an enclosed area. • Never leave a car running in an attached garage, even with the garage door open. • Never use gas appliances such as ranges, ovens or clothes dryers to heat your home. • Install a CO alarm that meets the requirements of the Ontario Fire Code. A CO alarm can provide some added protection, but it is not substitute for proper use and upkeep of appliances that can produce CO. Install a CO alarm in the hallway near every separate sleeping area of the home. For more information on carbon monoxide, call the Perth Fire Department at 613-267-5574.

PROPER BATTERY STORAGE AND DISPOSAL:

Home owners are encouraged to properly store anddispose of batteries, as they can create a fire hazard. Fires have been known to start, mainly in junk drawers, due to unsafe storage of batteries, especially 9-volt batteries used primarily in smoke alarms.Nine volt batteries are a fire hazard because “the positive and negative posts are on top, right next to one another. If the ends come in contact with anything metal, i.e. aluminium foil, steel wool, paper clips, other batteries, coins etc., this will cause the object to heat up and ignite a fire.” Also keep the batteries away from children as they will give a shock if both terminals come in contact with moisture, such as a child’s tongue. The Perth Fire Department recommends you store 9-volt batteries by keeping them in their original packaging and by keeping the posts covered. For disposal, make sure that the positive and negative posts are safely wrapped in electrical tape. Batteries can be dropped off at the Perth Fire Hall at 1881 Rogers Road, Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., or by calling 613-267-5574 for further information.

www.perth.ca 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 By-law #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. 2014 DOG TAGS AND CAT LICENCES: Dog tags are required annually for all dogs residing in Perth and may be purchased for a cost of $15.00 prior to April 1st. If purchased after April 1st the fee is $30.00. All cat owners must purchase a one-time licence for a fee of $15.00. Dog tags and cat licences are available at the Town Hall. For more information call 2673311 Ext. 2222. POOP & SCOOP REMINDER: Dog Owners are reminded that it is their responsibility to pick up after their dog and properly dispose of their dog’s waste. Owners who allow their pet to run free are contravening the Town of Perth Animal Control By-law. Please be a responsible pet owner. Pick up their poop. Keep them on a leash. SANDWICH BOARD SIGN & MERCHANDISE DISPLAY APPLICATIONS & RENEWALS: This is a reminder to business owners that an annual permit is required to place a sandwich board sign or merchandise display on Town of Perth property.

Any sign or merchandise display placed wholly or partially on or over Town of Perth property without approval is subject to removal without further notice. Where this action is taken the sign or merchandise display will be held for thirty days, during which time the material may be redeemed by paying the cost of removal ($40.00) and storage cost for the period ($1.00 per day per sign or display).

SANITARY SEWER RECOMMENDATIONS: Recently there have been a number of sanitary sewer issues involving blockages. As a reminder, residents are asked to abide by the following recommendations for disposing of material in the sewer system: ACCEPTABLE ITEMS: Liquid septage, solid septage and toilet paper. UNACCEPTABLE ITEMS: Bathroom wipes; paper towels; disposable diapers; condoms; Bandaids; dental floss; GREASE OF ANY KIND; prescription medication; cat litter. The municipality practices a regularly scheduled preventative maintenance and flushing program for the pumping stations and all the sewer mains, but, without residents taking some care in what they dispose of in their sanitary laterals, back-ups are inevitable and mains can also be affected. Video inspections after a blockage can identify where unacceptably flushed articles and wastes originate. THE EMC - P3 - Thursday, March 27, 2014

Local school boards join partnership in support of crown wards By LAURA ARMSTRONG larmstrong@perfprint.ca

Photo by LIAM GROVE

Motivational speaker Ian Hill speaks at the North Grenville Municipal Centre last week. youth services, education and the MTCU. Crown wards face multiple unique barriers when pursuing education or training after high school, Whiteland told the crowd at the first of two presentations

March 20. Insufficient information, a lack of family stability to turn to for support, limited financial resources, reductions expectations and family disruptions are all factors crown wards face as they transition into adulthood.

R0012614796_0327

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Former crown ward Keitha Quigley did not make it through her first day at St. Lawrence College. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember going to my school orientation day and everybody was getting hot dogs,â&#x20AC;? Quigley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was so embarrassed because I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford them, so I left and went home.â&#x20AC;? Working toward a diploma in Child and Youth work at the Kingston-area college, Quigley is an exception to the rule; supported by local family care servicesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Continued Care and Support for Youth program, Quigley is one of few young people ages 18 to 21 to receive post-secondary education or training. Quigley spoke about her experiences as a crown ward struggling to continue her education before educators, child protection staff, crown wards, foster parents, caregivers and community groups at a day-long event at the North Grenville Municipal Centre March 20. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were many nights when I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sleep because I was worried about paying (loans) back,â&#x20AC;? Quigley told a crowd of more than 50 people last Thursday morning. Hosted by the Crown Ward Education Championship Team (CWECT) of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville, the event was a response to a recently signed part-

nership agreement for student success between local French and English school boards and Family and Children Services regional offices in Renfrew, Lanark, Leeds and Grenville. Seven school boards in the area, including the Upper Canada District School Board, are now participating in the initiative, known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Partnering for Success: Supporting the educational journey for children and youth in care,â&#x20AC;? or, more simply, PASS. Ted Whiteland, program manager for the local Crown Ward Education Championship Team, said there are 279 children in care within Lanark, Leeds and Grenville Family Care Services as of March 2014. About 135 of the children are crown wards, 42 of whom do not have access to their biological parents. Young people ages 18 to 21 who, like Quigley, remain in the Continued Care and Support for Youth program represent 25 per cent of local children in care, said Whiteland. The new PASS program, he said, aims to create a more formalized relationship between the seven school boards and two family and services agencies to support the most vulnerable in the community. The Ministry of Training Colleges and Universities launched the crown ward strategy in 2007. There are now 21 championship teams across Ontario, all promoting collaboration between

â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford a hot dog or a drink just to fit in, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a problem,â&#x20AC;? Whiteland said. Motivational speaker Ian Hill, founder of non-profit community building association Let Them Be Kids, is familiar with Quigleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s situation. Adopted as a young child, Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adoptive mother died when he was five. Eight years later, his adopted father left. At 18, Hill said he had lived in six or seven homes. He could not read or write. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first day I walked in (to a post-secondary institution), I walked out because I was afraid. My clothes didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit. I walked out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have money for food, so I thought I was a piece of crap. I thought that I was a loser, and that I had no redeeming value whatsoever for society,â&#x20AC;? Hill said. Thanks to knowledgeable people like those in attendance at the presentation, Hill said he ended up where he should be. Since moving to Canada from the United States, Hill has been actively involved with the UCDSB. His organization has donated seven playgrounds in the area, including one at St. John Elementary School in Perth, and one at Chimo Elementary School in Smiths Falls. Hill said he has also supported the school board through bursaries and support professional development.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe in what the Upper Canada District School Board is trying to do.â&#x20AC;? Solidifying a partnership between family services and educational institutions will allow for alignment between people who work in both industries, helping to turn crowd wards into taxpaying, responsible, productive citizens, Hill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have 135 kids whose present day sucks, to some degree or another. That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean they suck; they have incredible worth and value, just as any human being has incredible worth and value. Their life circumstances might just say otherwise.â&#x20AC;? A lack of alignment is costly and hurtful to strategies for building the citizens of tomorrow, Hill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now, we all know our goal, we all know our role, we all know what winning looks like.â&#x20AC;? While a good system is a contributing factor to the success of crown wards, Hill reminded attendees that the number one determining factor of whether or not a child make it or not is a being cared for by a knowledgeable adult. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A loving, caring adult can actually overcome the ineptitude of a system, can actually overcome a bunch of burned out professionals, can actually overcome the backward, ridiculous thinking of some bureaucrat far, far away. One loving, caring person.â&#x20AC;?

thinking, of people working locally, working shorter hours or working fewer days, and getting more holiday time. In Chaikowskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estimation, such an experiment had already been tried in Europe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Greece was that way,â&#x20AC;? Chaikowsky said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They wanted to do a three-day weekâ&#x20AC;Ś they wanted that life and look what happened. They went bankrupt. They lost that work ethic.â&#x20AC;? Nickerson countered that â&#x20AC;&#x153;I make most of my money by not wanting things,â&#x20AC;? and for the past decade, he has sustained himself on little more than $10,000 a year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like the concept of your sustainability,â&#x20AC;? said Chaikowsky, adding that a localized economy could be done in this part of Canada â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but that other areas of the world â&#x20AC;&#x153;are desperate, the resources are not there,â&#x20AC;? to make microeconomies sustainable. He admitted that people who challenge the prevailing economic ideology often pay a price, and are demonized â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as the deposed Libyan leader Col. Muammar Gaddafi did. While now demonized, and overthrown during a revolution in 2011, Nickerson stated that Gaddafi believed that â&#x20AC;&#x153;we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to be beholden to the International Monetary Fund or World Bank.â&#x20AC;?

Pentecostal church hosts Passover seder meal Good Friday By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – So why is a Christian church hosting a meal that is part of a Jewish holiday? Not surprisingly, the answer lies in a visit to the Holy Land. This past winter, a group of about 20 members of the mission team at Glad Tidings Pentecostal Church, made a trip to Israel. One of the team members, upon her return to Canada, decided that holding a Passover seder at the church around Easter time would be a good idea. In discussing the idea with the church’s pastor, a seven-member team was put together to organize the event with the help of two “Messianic Jews” who attend the congregation. Who are Messianic Jews? “(They are) a person who has Jewish background but accepts Jesus as the messiah,” explained Sandra Hartley, the church’s seder meal administrator. In fact, one of the duo, Eileen Greer, will be leading the ceremony, explaining it as she goes. This is the church’s first time holding, and her first time organizing, such an event. “I’m learning a lot,” she said during a phone interview on Thursday, March 20. “They (the committee) decided that this would be a great thing to do for the community.” So just what is a seder? Passover “celebrates the liberation from bondage in Egypt and the spring-time advent of new life,” wrote Mary Pat Fisher in her 1999 book Living Religions. “It was the tenth plague, death of all first-born sons of the Egyptians, which finally brought the Pharaoh to relent. The Israelites were warned to slaughter a lamb for each family and mark their doors with its blood so that the angel

The highlight of Passover for Jewish families is the seder dinner, with different foods and herbs representing aspects of the plight of the Jewish people, and their flight from Egypt. “The entire seder meal, there are various prayers and singing and readings done during the meal,” said Hartley. Symbolically, the unleavened matzo bread symbolizes the

urgency of the Jews’ departure from Egypt, and bitter herbs are a reminder of slavery. A sweet fruit and nut mixture, according to Fisher, symbolizes the mortar that the enslaved Jews used mold into bricks, and salt water, which represents the tears of the slaves. However, into the salt water, parsley or another plant is dipped, to show the spring of life. Just as Christians celebrate Christmas around the same time that Jews celebrate Hanukkah,

THE TOWNSHIP OF LANARK HIGHLANDS

Jews are usually celebrating Passover around the same time as Easter celebrations. In fact, the “Last Supper” Jesus had with his disciples before his crucifixion was likely a seder meal. This seder will be held on Good Friday, April 18, but Hartley stresses that “we are not trying to combine the two because of the meaning of them.” The meat served will, of course, in keeping with Jewish dietary restrictions, be kosher.

Already, members of the church have been eager to participate. “The first week, we had quite a few members sign up for attendance,” she said. “This isn’t just a dinner. This isn’t just an event. This is about our Jewish roots.” Another aspect of the seder meal is that a child, or children, present, ask questions of the older people as to why the meal, and Passover, is so important.

Greer, however, will be asking the children’s questions and volunteers will carry out the readings such as Exodus 12: 2627, “When your children ask you, ‘What does this ceremony mean to you?’ then tell them, ‘It is the Passover sacrifice to the Lord, who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt and spared our homes when he struck down the Egyptians.’” “We want and encourage people to bring their children,” said Hartley. Hartley is aware that the image of a Christian church hosting a meal central to a Jewish holy day might bring discomfort to Jews, and does touch on the sometimes fraught relations between Christians and Jews. “There is a fear of Jews accepting Christianity because of this past. Even to this day there is that fear of accepting Christianity.” But from what she is seeing, “so many Jews are recognizing Jesus and recognizing him as the messiah.” She added that Jesus never instructed his followers to stop celebrating the Passover seder, but she noted, “Christianity has lost this part of celebrating the Passover meal. It’s unfortunate that as generations have gone on, this has fallen by the wayside.” The meal will be held at Glad Tidings Pentecostal Church, 160 Wayside Dr., on Good Friday, April 18, starting at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $25 for ages 13 and up, $15 for those aged six to 12, and free for children five and under. Tickets can be purchased until Thursday, April 6. If you do not wish to eat lamb, a chicken option is available, though this must be specified at the time of ticket purchase.

Non to Nadon

ditorial – Judge Marc Nadon is not wanted on the voyage. The Supreme Court of Canada last week ruled 6 to 1 against the appointment of Nadon as Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s latest choice for the highest court in the land. Not that they questioned his qualifications, but merely that he was not qualified to sit, under the laws of the land. This ruling appears to bring up just as many questions as it supposedly answered. Is there not something wrong with the Supreme Court of Canada ruling on changes to, well, the Supreme Court of Canada Act? Yes, it is in an unusual position in that while it is ruling on the very law which governs it as an institution, there is also no other choice – it is the highest court in the land, and the buck stops there on Wellington Street in Ottawa. Some of the jurists on the court were appointed by Harper himself, so that puts lie to cries of Harper stacking the deck in his party’s favour. Just because Harper appointed you, does not mean that you have to tow his line (sounds like the senate, frankly). In 2004, Harper said that Canadians need not worry about electing a majority Conservative government, because deeply embedded Liberal bureaucrats and activist judges would keep him in check. Now, his own appointees to the bench are keeping him in check. We should not kid ourselves into thinking that judicial appointments are above the political fray. According to Andre Pratte, a Quebec author and editorial page editor of La Presse, in that province, when the Liberals are in power, Liberal lawyers tend to get appointed to judicial appointments. Ditto for Pequiste lawyers when the Parti Quebecois is in office in Quebec City. But, Pratte notes, while the pool of potential judges is a partisan one, there is a gentleman’s understanding that the best of the best of Liberal (or PQ) lawyers is sent up for the job.

There is something unseemly in how Nadon’s appointment was handled in that the Harper Conservatives tried to change the law – while Nadon was working his way through the system. The Prime Minister’s Office said it was “surprised” at last Friday’s ruling – so why did it try to change the law on the fly then? If he was qualified to sit, then they should have let it go forward, instead of seeking expert legal advice from two former Supreme Court judges and a legal scholar. Also, with all respect to Nadon, is this the best they could do? Is there no one else currently on the Court of Appeal or Superior Court of Quebec? It can’t all hang on the fact that Nadon issued a ruling favourable to the Harper government, in relation to the Omar Khadr case, that courts should essentially butt out on foreign policy decisions. He may be a good man, an able legal mind, but he is also semi-retired and a specialist in maritime law. It’s a worthy field of law, to be sure, but not one that is exactly crying out for the Supreme Court’s attention. The law is clearly poorly worded and open to interpretation – but now the federal government may not be able to change it on its own. To change the Supreme Court will now likely require the support of not just a majority of the provinces, but of all of the provinces. So, essentially, passing a legal version of the Meech Lake Accord. Good luck with that. This seems like the court has shackled the hands of the government – which is concerning. It is one thing to strike down a law or a section of a law. There are ways around it. But to undermine the government’s ability to initiate change in the first place is questionable. But thumbs down too on the Harper government. For such an administration, transfixed like a laser beam on staying on message and being the government of no surprises, they should have seen what a screw-up this would be and never should have put Nadon in this position in the first place.

Is ‘no’ really all that negative? Lifestyle - While goofing around online recently, I stumbled across an article from 2012 published in Psychology Today called “The Most Dangerous Word in the World” by Dr. Andrew Newberg and Mark Robert Waldman. It’s a word they say can “damage both the speaker’s and listener’s brain.” Can you guess what it is? No, Monty Python fans, it’s not “ni” – but close! It’s “no.” The article says if you were to put someone into an MRI scanner and flash the word “no” for less than one second, the scan would show a “sudden release of dozens of stress-producing hormones and neurotransmitters,” which interrupt normal brain function, thus impairing logic, reason, language processing and communication. Huh. I must be a strange bird because quite often I experience an enormous sense of relief from the word “no.” It’s context. For example, when someone suggests you take on an enormous task that you can’t handle, it can feel very good to say “no way, José” – even if the asker’s name isn’t José. See, I have trouble with “no” sometimes. I like to help people and experience new things and be involved, but sometimes I forget that there is only one of me. My clone bolted one day (and took Will Power and Meta Bolism with her – but that’s another story). When I forget how to say “no,” I risk taking on too much, which leaves me kinda stressed. When I have good reason to say “no,” and actually say it aloud at the right time and to the right person, I feel great. I feel proud of myself for knowing my limits. (At least for a bit – until I think about the fact I may have let someone down, which is part of the problem.) The article goes on to say the more we ruminate on negative words, the more likely we are to actually damage structures that affect memory and emotions, not to mention “sleep, appetite and [our]

ability to experience longterm happiness and satisfaction.” I can see that, but in my experience there have been other words and phrases that have left me with chronic snacking or a lot of sleepless STEPHANIE GRAY nights, such as “negotiations,” “marks are due” and “Mom, the cat keeps barfing in my room.” Not surprisingly, the article suggests hanging around negative people is unhelpful, worrying about bad stuff is destructive and continued negative thinking becomes a habit that is hard to break. Just say “no” to all that negativity, people! Err… but don’t frown when you say it because that can release more stress chemicals. There are other negative words – ones that provoke fear, such as “poverty,” “illness” and “death” – that can cause trouble, too, because it seems we are hardwired to worry about them. Fear not, though! There are ways we can “interrupt this natural propensity to worry.” First, determine whether the situation is a threat to personal survival. (If I don’t volunteer to sell raffle tickets for that charity, will I die? Probably not.) Next, put the negative thought into a positive light. Unfortunately, even though focusing on the positive decreases anxiety and depression, the brain doesn’t respond as quickly to happy thoughts because, sadly, they aren’t as life-threatening as negative ones. The trick? Well, the article suggests we “repetitiously and consciously generate as many positive thoughts as we can,” even if they are a little irrational. Cool. Does that mean I can be silly ALL the time? I guess that’s as good a reason as any to go around blasting Pharrell Williams’ song “Happy” 24/7. And I still think saying “no” sometimes is a good thing.

What a way to go out in his final game as a Raven by exploding for 30 points! Wow, his foul shooting was a killer 89 per cent! And when the Gee Gees looked too confident with an 8-0 run to start the second quarter, Tyson would pop a deflating trey. The MVP of the final, Tyson carried the play with valuable help from the gritty Scrubb brothers, Thomas No. 11 and Philip No. 23. And so the Carleton Ravens celebrated 7967 over the Ottawa Gee Gees in the CIS final at the Canadian Tire Centre, a 19,000-seat arena on Sunday March 9, 2014. Let the Carleton University Conspiracy Pipe Band play on. Yours truly, through the hoops, L.Eric Wilson Perth

Insane men know no boundaries: reader To the Editor, I recently read in The Perth Courier, that Perth Police Service Board member, John Clement, questioned why police officers in Perth are paid as much as police officers in Toronto. Specifically Mr. Clement said, “Why should a guy here earn as much as a guy in Toronto?” I would like to answer that question. The reason for uniform pay, for all police officers, is this. Insane men, intent on killing police officers, do not recognize geographical boundaries. Kindest regards, John Fenik Mayor of Perth

Effective meetings held with provincial ministries By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

News – A handful of local politicians and staff attended the Rural Ontario Municipal Association/Ontario Good Roads Association (ROMA/OGRA) conference in Toronto last month. Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc noted the event presented an opportunity to meet faceto-face with two key Ontario ministries: Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MHLTC) and Ministry of Education (MOE). Daycare funding “The meeting with Ministry of Education officials was also very positive,” LeBlanc said. In addition to the mayor, Carleton Place’s delegation included chief administrative officer Paul Knowles, director of childcare services Jacqueline Leach; childcare advisory committee liaison Rob Probert; Association of Municipal Managers, Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario (AMCTO) intern Catalina Blumenberg, and Mississippi Mills Mayor John Levi. “Smiths Falls Mayor Dennis Staples was unable to attend,” LeBlanc said. “He was part of another delegation.” Perth Mayor John Fenik provided a written submission. The group met with Jim Grieve, assistant deputy minister for the early learning division of the MOE, and his assistant. “This was the third face-to-face meeting with Mr. Grieve,” LeBlanc said, “along with a telephone conference call in early January.” At the previous gatherings, a model for changes in pupil/teacher ratios (PTR) was presented, which addressed, without additional expense to the province, the significant loss of revenue resulting from the implementation of the junior and senior full-day kindergarten programs. Carleton Place’s revenue stream from the daycare’s junior and senior kindergarten program was approximately $700,000, and

the cost to watch those children was about $500,000. As a result, revenue somewhere in the $250,000-range was lost. “We were extremely pleased to see the ministry acted on our initial suggestions and has proposed changes in the ratios,” LeBlanc said. In Carleton Place, adding just one child in every group at the daycare would add $100,000 in revenue. Leach introduced additional suggestions to address the concerns of some daycares – largely urban – regarding the quality of programs as a result of an increased PTR. “Mr. Grieve indicated that ministry officials were of the opinion the needs of the urban and rural systems were unique and a one-size-fitsall approach likely would not work,” LeBlanc said. The assistant deputy minister was chiefly interested in the length of days in rural daycares as a result of distances travelled by working parents. “Longer hours of operation in rural daycares increase overall costs,” LeBlanc said, “and he urged each of the municipalities to respond to the ministry survey and draw particular attention to the distinctive needs of small urban and rural municipalities.” Responding to Grieve’s request for ideas concerning dealing with the differences between urban and rural daycares, Leach is currently preparing suggestions for his consideration. LeBlanc said Leach and the town’s treasurer, Phil Hogan, “prepared documents showing a variety of cost analyses based on various PTR scenarios. These were well received by Mr. Grieve who has always appreciated the Carleton Place approach to advancing constructive solutions rather than seeking direct additional financing.” Members of the team left the meeting feeling concerns were being seriously received and addressed by the MOE.

Thank-you letters were sent to Grieve, and Leach “further detailed the Carleton Place proposal as well as forwarding the research work of Blumenberg on worldwide PTR information.” Grieve has been invited to visited Carleton Place’s daycare facility. “Carleton Place has offered to serve as a pilot project for the new model,” LeBlanc said. Hospital redevelopment LeBlanc, along with Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH) chief executive officer Toni Surko, board chair Lois-Anne Brebner, the board’s council liaison Coun. Rob Probert, and Coun. Doug Black as an observer, met with MHLTC parliamentary assistant Dr. Helena Jaczek and senior policy advisor Michael Coe. Local Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) Randy Hillier was unable to attend, owing to a family illness. The CPDMH’s Health Village Integration project was submitted in 2013 to the provincial treasury board for approval to proceed to the next stage of the capital planning process. To be located on land near the east end of Lake Avenue, the hospital’s redevelopment proposal involves a new acute care building, which would house the emergency department, surgical unit, diagnostic imaging unit, and inpatient unit. It would be linked to a medical arts building (ambulatory care building). In this building would be the CPDMH’s clinics and community partners. According to the mayor, Coe explained “the lack of response is not indicative of a weakness in the proposal,” and it was taking a “regrettably long time” to move forward. Members of the group left the meeting satisfied the redevelopment project is well positioned to move forward. Follow-up letters were sent to both Jaczek and Coe by the town and the hospital.

To the Editor, What’s wrong with CTV in Ottawa? In the capital you had the bitter archrivals, the University of Ottawa Gee Gees and the Carleton University Ravens playing in the final of the Men’s University Basketball Championship of Canada! This rival combination may never happen again. Carleton Ravens, ranked number No. 1 in the nation during season’s play. Thanks to beating the Carleton University Ravens 78-77 in the Ontario Championship, the Ottawa Gee Gees ranked No. 1 seed in the final eight of the CIS. And CTV sports news coverage-pathetic! I guess it doesn’t matter that James Naismith of Almonte invented the game of basketball. There was no interview with the winning Ravens’ coach Dave Smart (10th championship in 12-year dynasty!), or the Most Valuable Player of the game, Tyson Hinz No. 42, and very little in the way of highlights shown. In the United States such a game would have been televised across the nation. Their college basketball is supported by the media big time. And Carleton University Ravens have beaten well-ranked NCAA teams of the U.S. in exhibition games. To add further insult, CTV-Ottawa had a ho-hum interview with the Ottawa Senators’ goalie on the

The Boxcar Boys will be at MERA this Sunday The next concert in MERA’s Sunday Schoolhouse Concert Series brings a refreshing new mix of Klezmer, jazz, folk and gypsy music - performed on traditional New Orleans instruments – to MERA on Sunday, March 30, at 2 p.m. The Boxcar Boys deliver a veritable gumbo of wild gypsy, Dixieland jazz, Klezmer, and folk music performed with a good time New Orleans spirit. The Boxcar Boys are the combined forces of clarinetist and tunesmith John David Williams (Jaron Freeman-Fox and the Opposite of Everything, The Roofhoppers), jazz master Karl Silveira on trombone (The Lemon Bucket Orkestra), violin whiz Laura C. Bates (Trent Severn, Del Bel) soulful accordionist Ronen Segall and JUNO nominee Rob Teehan (Heavyweights Brass Band, Saidah Baba Talibah) on sousaphone. With their first album Don’t Be Blue (2011) they caught the ears of critics across the country. Their new album Rye Whiskey further explores their unique instrumentation as they delve deeper into both the jazz and folk genres,

showcasing the band’s raw acoustic sound and lively performances. Their ability to effortlessly switch from a gritty sprawling blues into a tight western swing number or an emotive tango is demonstrated in compositions by all band members. Rye Whiskey also features charming vocal renditions of folk classics “Sam Hall”, “Rye Whiskey”, and “Freight Train”, a joyous instrumental performance of “You Are My Sunshine”, and a sentimental lullaby written by composer Joe Ernewein. Bandleader John David Williams reflects, “We had so much fun in the studio, and this comes across on the album. Rye Whiskey really captures the spirit of our live performances. It’s a celebration; musicians at play.” TICKETS: $22 advance. $20 for MERA members (includes service charges) Tickets Please, 39 Foster St. in Perth (Jo’s Clothes), 613-485-6434 or www.ticketsplease.ca And, MERA is co-sponsoring a Jonathan Byrd concert in Perth on April 6 Anybody who’s seen Jonathan Byrd knows that he is something special – one of the most talented singer/songwriters you’ll ever see. He’s been called “one of the top 50 songwriters of the last 50 years” and the folk magazine, Penguin Eggs, called “The Law and The Lonesome” the “album of the decade.” Though he proudly hails from the southern US, Jonathan has a special relationship with Canada, having co-written a number of songs with Toronto’s Corin Raymond, and recorded three of his most recent albums in Canadian studios with Canadian musicians backing him. This April 6 concert in Perth marks a unique opportunity for local audiences to see and hear Jonathan performing with The Pickup Cowboys – who regularly back his appearances closer to his home in North Carolina. Jonathan’s last appearance in the area was sold out, so reserve your tickets soon. Full Circle Theatre; 26 Craig Street, Perth; tickets are $20 at Tickets Please, 39 Foster St. in Perth (Jo’s Clothes), 613-485-6434 or www.ticketsplease.ca

News – The latest proposal between the Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) and area municipalities comprising the Lanark Animal Pound (LAP) working group has been euthanized. “The LAP working group met on Friday, March 14,” LAWS president Kathryn Hoyland told the Perth Courier. “I received a call from Glenn Barnes after the meeting and he said the latest proposal was off the table.” Barnes is the chief administrative officer (CAO) of Montague Township. “There were not enough municipalities on board to continue with that model,” Hoyland said. The LAP working group consists of Carleton Place, Drummond/North Elmsley, Lanark Highlands, Mississippi Mills,

Montague, Perth and Tay Valley, and Rideau Lakes has indicated an interest. The latest proposal saw the projected LAP in Montague constructed to a larger scale and leased to LAWS. The new building would have replaced the no-kill animal shelter’s current, aging facility, which is located at 253 Glenview Rd., just outside of Smiths Falls. LAWS would have used the LAP for its shelter function, and as part of the deal, provide pound services to Lanark County municipalities. Municipalities have a legislative responsibility to provide a pound – a facility where animals are stored for a redemption period of five days, not including the day of pick up. After that, under the Animal Research Act, the legislation that governs the operation of pounds, the only options available are adopting the animal out,

Lorne Elliott still madly off in all directions with new book, ongoing tour from the tall, lanky, bespectacled man with wild, curly orange hair. “It must be something in my voice.” However, he kept in mind that “the Air Farce did it before us,” and he took pride that Stuart McLean, when not doing stories on Morningside with Peter Gzowski, appeared on his show before he got his own CBC gig. Nowadays, when it comes to Canadian radio comedy, his appointment listening is for the Alberta-based Irrelevant Show. “They are the ones I look forward to, or listen on the podcast if I miss them,” he says with obvious admiration. In talking with Elliott, it becomes clear that it is not just architects and engineers who debate form and function. For him, if he gets a good line, he then tests it out to see if it works best in a song, or a story, poem, or a routine. “The form is the last thing that comes,” he said. “I try to just go through life and see if it is funny.” Of course, he doesn’t just do his shtick in isolation. The audience plays its part, too. “You can see a community getting together when you hit it,” he said. “The difference between a show that hits and misses is if it forms community.” And it also gives him a chance to visit communities too, as he prepares to head out on a 10-day tour of Vancouver Island and the Okanagan Valley.

I am human, they are human… I’ve never written a joke too intelligent for the crowd.” However, with fine tuning, reading the audience and honing ones script along the way, “the show in Perth (was) very different from the one out west. I try not to pre-judge the audience.”

Opportunity Around 1995, Elliott was given an opportunity – and some big shoes to fill, when it came to Canadian radio comedy. The Royal Canadian Air Farce, a part of CBC Radio’s schedule since 1973, had, on its 20th anniversary, made the leap to television, but it was still continuing to produce its radio show until 1995, when the duality became too much of a strain for the cast and writers. For the next 11 years, Elliott hosted Madly Off In All Directions, featuring his own stand-up routines and those of other comedians. After 20 years on the road, “constantly testing your material in front of an audience, it will have legs,” and it continued to have “legs” on air, too. However, the demands of a weekly touring schedule to fill airtime became very real. “Suddenly, I had these time slots to fill up with work,” said Elliott. Though his voice was recognized, “I didn’t feel like, ‘I am a star.’” Not only did people have expectations of the show, coming after more than two decades of the Air Farce, but, as with many radio personalities, the audience also came to have expectations of what he looked like, thanks in part to the human inclination to create a mental picture of the disembodied voice coming out of the radio. “A lot of people thought I was a large, bearded man,” he said, a far cry

anyone?), for stand-alone, stand-up comedy, “one guy in front of a room, in front of a microphone, trying to work the room, that was novel,” he said of his early days. “Self-expression, that’s what it was to me.”

R0012593290_0313

Arts – Stories give life to imagination, but sometimes, true-life stories can save a life. For all of his stand-up routines, his 11 years hosting CBC Radio’s comedy hit Madly Off In All Directions, and his books, for a career buoyed by telling stories that move people to laughter, one story about his near-death experience with a heart attack may have saved one listener’s life. “A heart attack is not like you see it in Hollywood,” said Elliott during a telephone interview from his home in Hudson, Quebec, on Thursday, March 20, the day before his arrival in Perth to perform on the Perth and District Collegiate Institute stage the next evening. “You don’t even know you are having it.” He was recounting the story of his heart attack, how he was chain smoking to “self-medicate” himself from symptoms he did not know were signs of cardiac problems, to Writers and Company host Eleanor Wachtel on CBC Radio. Unbeknownst to both of them at the time, a man was listening to the program in Kingston, whose ears pricked up when he heard Elliott describe the symptoms. As fate would have it, he too was having the exact same symptoms at that very moment – and he decided to drive straight to the nearest hospital. He was saved, but not until after a quadruple bypass. “We saved a life without knowing it,” said Elliott. While he still refers to his ever-present, on-stage guitar as his “crutch,” it was his cigarettes that were, in many ways, his real crutch. But like a man cured by a faith healer, they turned out to be easy to throw away. “I thought I wouldn’t have been able to give up the smokes, it went so deep,” said Elliott. But once he quit after his heart attack, “it felt kind of obvious. I haven’t had the desire to smoke. The desire simply went.” The fire of desire to perform however was not extinguished, which is what brought him to Perth last week, a follow-up from his last performance here five years ago. This latest stop-off is just the latest step in a long line of one-night stands, long engagements, and countless tours over multiple decades of performances. In fact, this is his fourth gig in two weeks – not counting the release of his second book this past Sunday, A Goat in the Tree, at a launch in Toronto. “It’s an odd little piece,” said Elliott. “It came to me when I was in Morocco, six or seven years ago.” He was nosing around the big square in Marrakesh taking in soothsayers and storytellers, whom he admired. “I couldn’t understand any Arabic to understand them, but I saw how they told the stories,” he said of the tale, which takes place in both Morocco and France. Another reason why he was so touched by the Arab storytellers was because he felt a bond to his own life’s work. “I go from town to town and reshape stories,” he said, bringing his guitar in tow. “Songwriting is a type of storytelling.” In fact, when he started out, “to be a singer-songwriter was something to be proud of. There was a sea change going on then.” While stand-up and sketch comedy can be seen to have its roots in vaudeville and even Shakespeare (Falstaff

“I enjoy the west,” he said. “It’s no Perth, mind you!” Playing across country, there may be regional variances in weather and geography, but for Elliott, there really is nothing separating Canadians from coast-to-coast-to-coast, and he does not change his routine, whether it be Mon-

Gibb-Carsley Natalie Maude Gibb-Carsley (Nee Crawford) July 5, 1936 – March 19, 2014 Natalie’s passing leaves very saddened, John, her much loved husband of almost 54 years; her cherished children, Althea, Victoria, and John (Jennifer) and grandchildren Zander Machan, Anna and Evan Carsley-Jones and Parker Gibb-Carsley. She also leaves to mourn, her brother John Crawford (Cheryl) of Toronto, Stephen Jones, May Mikhail, sisters-in-law Helen (Nick Farrell) of Montreal, Christopher (Lynda Hire) of Hemmingford and Pamela (David Milne) of Ottawa and their families. Natalie was predeceased by her wonderful parents, Brigadier-General Dr. John Crawford and his wife, Maude (Hopper). Throughout her full life, Natalie’s upbeat nature was to spread happiness, show love and compassion, and give encouragement to and for those who had the good fortune to meet her in daily life. Her mission was to give unselfishly of herself to the comfort and joy of her family and friends even when confronted with many challenging years of failing health. Never did Natalie say, “Why me?” as she dealt with life threatening cancer for many of her last 27 years, displaying extraordinary courage, optimism and stoicism all the while. Natalie contributed greatly to her community, serving on the Perth Planning Board, the boards of the Children’s Aid Society, the Perth Daycare and, for many years, the Perth & District Union Public Library—a very favourite and frequent destination to satisfy her keen intellect and prodigious appetite for reading. Over the years Natalie involved herself with St. James Church making banners and helping with dinners, the Cancer Society, and as a founding member of the Perth University Women’s Club. Her strong organizational and creative skills were much appreciated by those with whom she worked. For over 20 years Natalie taught English and Art at Perth Collegiate and coached the public speaking team. A highly respected and beloved teacher, she had many students say to her, some many years later, what an effective and encouraging influence she had upon their lives. Natalie took great joy from being with her children and grandchildren, spending time swimming and gardening at the cottage, with her book club, the Writer’s Circle and ‘Breakfast Club’ friends, and with the “Pickwickian Pedalers’” trips in Canada, the USA and once to France. She was a skilled artist who got great joy from calligraphy, drawing, and painting. She especially enjoyed the set design work she did for community theatre productions. She was able to enjoy travels and cruises with John to Europe, the Caribbean, the Pacific and South America in recent years. Natalie’s family wishes to express thanks for the unwavering support they received from many friends during the past few months and even longer. Natalie often said how lucky she was to have such kind friends. Very much appreciated was the care of many in the medical community. You are too numerous to mention by name, but you know who you are. Thank you all. Most of those who knew this tall, gracious and lovely woman will remember best her ever present smile, so radiant and warm. A fitting epitaph could be: Never underestimate the power of a smile! Friends may pay their respects at the Blair & Son Funeral Home, 15 Gore St W Perth on Friday, March 28th, 2014 from 2:00 to 4:00 & 6:00 to 8:00 P.M. Funeral service will be held in St. James Anglican Church, Perth on Saturday, March 29th, 2014 at 10:30 A.M. Interment, Elmwood Cemetery. Donations in Natalie’s memory should be directed to “The Perth & District Union Library”, The Chris Tyson Fund (Summer Camp Program) Family and Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville or the GWM Hospital Foundation.

Muppets Most Wanted least appealing of popular franchise MOVIE: Muppets Most Wanted STARRING: Ricky Gervais, Tina Fey, Ty Burrell, Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Walter and the whole gang DIRECTOR: James Bobin RATING: G Arts – I love the Muppets. I love Kermit, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzie and all the rest. I loved their last film. I really wanted to love Muppets Most Wanted. Unfortunately it was truly awful. As the Muppets get set to embark on a world tour with their new manager Dominic Badguy (Ricky Gervais), Constantine, the world’s most dangerous frog, escapes from a Russian gulag. Aside from a mole on his cheek, and a terrible accent Constantine is a dead ringer for Kermit. A fact he and his partner, who is of course Dominic, plan to exploit. Constantine switches places with Kermit. While Constantine infiltrates the Muppets, Kermit ends up in a Russian gulag run by the Kermit obsessed Nadya (Tina Fey). Constantine and Dominic use the Muppets as a cover to rob museums across Europe with each heist bringing

My Take MARK HASKINS

them closer to their ultimate goal of stealing the Crown Jewels. Animal is the only one to see, or perhaps smell Constantine for who he really is though no one listens. Then Walter starts to piece things together, and he and Fozzie eventually figure it out. It’s then up to Walter, Animal and Fozzie to save Kermit and get his help to stop Constantine before the unthinkable can happen. Unfortunately it’s not as unthinkable as the possibility that they might make another film. Somewhere between that last Muppet movie and this Muppet movie the Muppets have lost their heart. Like so many sequels before it Muppets Most Wanted was forced. It felt like no one had their hearts invested in this film. It lacked inspiration, and so everyone was just following the same old formula. There was

no art and no charm, and so everyone was just going through the motions because they didn’t know what else to do. There are a few laughs, a few good lines, the classic cameos, and one or two decent musical numbers. I especially enjoyed watching Danny Trejo, Jemaine Clement and Ray Liotta sing and dance together. The Muppets themselves and the talented people who give them voice Steve Whitmire, Eric Jacobson, Dave Goelz, Bill Barretta, David Rudman, Matt Vogel, and Peter Linz are still great. Ricky Gervais, Tina Fey and Ty Burrell are okay, but the problem here I think is with the script. It is tired, it makes very little sense and it completely lacks direction. It is a poorly executed excuse to string together a bunch of old Muppet jokes and musical numbers. The Muppets had a sense of excitement that Muppets Most Wanted lacked. It’s extremely disappointing and not just because it’s such a bad film, but because it will most likely mean the end of the franchise before it had a chance to really get going again. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

Films for the heart and soul on at Perth Museum Community - Spiritual Cinema Circle has some films for the heart and soul for March 30, from 2 to 4 p.m. We return to an afternoon of short films. The February feature was so much loved that we are looking for another equally fine feature for April. The shorts for March explore connections to others and acts of kindness. In REVENGE, INC. one man learns more about how he is connected to the people around him and learns to give up his wish for revenge. It’s 15 minutes in

English. In LIBBY we have the story of a woman discovering that being her true self is the most important thing she can do. It’s 15 minutes in English. There will be a brief intermission at 3 p.m. In THE AMBER AMULET, a young boy who wants to be a superhero changes the life of his neighbour. This one is 23 minutes in English and was the winner of Best Narrative Short. Our last film, called MIRA, raises such questions as “Is the world safe?”

and “Who can I trust?” The film is delightful and heartwarming with a surprise ending. It is 13 minutes in English and Spanish. The films are playing at the McMartin House,125 Gore St. East Perth, where there is an accessible ramp and comfortable seating. A $2 donation is requested to help with room rental.

Jesus. Have you met this life changing Jesus? In God’s word, the bible, we read of many challenges given to those who would follow Jesus. They are asked to have faith. Peter needed to have faith when he put his feet over the side of the boat to walk on water towards Jesus. We do not always know the future and where we are going, but we have faith to trust that Jesus knows the future and will guide us in the correct direction. Just as Peter needed to keep his eyes on Jesus or else he would sink into the water, we need to keep our eyes on Jesus and His example to live out our lives. One of the amazing changes that Jesus brings into our lives is hope. We live in a world where we are confronted by so much hopelessness. There is poverty,

homelessness, hunger, violence the list could continue, but Jesus comes into our lives to tell us that we can share with each other, help our brothers and sisters in need, make a stand for those who have no one to help. In other words, we can be his hands here on earth to bring hope to others and in so doing find hope in Jesus ourselves. Yes, there are many events that can change our lives. How we work with these changes can either challenge us to do better or can take us down a pathway we do not wish to go. Although I miss my mother greatly, I have been able to see through memories the richness of life that she has passed on to me. The deep faith that gives meaning to my life and the joy of living that brings hope for each new day. She taught me to love Jesus and my encounter with Him came at a very young age, but my relationship with Him has continued to grow through the years. Be it continuum of time, spring that never seems to come or death, the constant is always that Jesus is with us whatever the change may be.

Lifestyles - Just like the time change and spring, I have had a life changing event in my life this past month. My mother died and as we in the Salvation Army say, she was promoted to glory. What are some of the life changing events in your life – moving, finishing school, getting married, getting divorced, a death of a significant person in your life? I had a dog die some years ago. He had been sick for a year and I had to administer an injection twice a day. What a change took place in my life schedule after he died. The life changing events make us look at our lives and our world in a different way. Imagine for a moment you were living in the days of Jesus. This carpenter from Nazareth comes down to where you are working and asks you to follow him. I am quite sure that those disciples who followed Jesus did not have a clue of how their lives would be changed. We focus on Peter so often because he came from a simple way of life to live in such a spotlight: a fisherman with so many questions; a man who was born to lead.

Algonquinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Perth campus announces three new programs for fall desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Algonquin Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Perth campus will be adding three new courses in time for the fall semester in September. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did our due diligence and research to find out what programs were missing in the community,â&#x20AC;? said Dean Dave Donaldson during an interview on Friday, March 21 in his office. The three new programs are: Office Administration (Medical), Business, and Hospitality Services. With a â&#x20AC;&#x153;shifting demographicâ&#x20AC;? in Lanark County, thanks in part to an aging population, the medical office administration program was seen to be on that would be in high demand for doctorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and dentistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offices, hospitals, clinics and the like. While some office administration skills

are transferable to a non-medical setting, other skills, like handling Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) electronic transfers and medical transcription are unique to those offices. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not aware of anything else in the county available like this,â&#x20AC;? said Donaldson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a one-year program, added to our general program,â&#x20AC;? meaning that a student could take the one-year office administration general or executive courses, and then move on to the one-year medical office course. The business program is modelled on a similar one at the Pembroke campus, so, in a way, â&#x20AC;&#x153;weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already test-marketed it,â&#x20AC;? just as they did with the medical office administration program at the Ottawa campus. The business program takes in elements

like statistics, business plans, accounting, succession planning, finance, customer service, marketing, and other components. As the former dean of the Algonquin School of Business, he admits that â&#x20AC;&#x153;there is a bias there, I admit it!â&#x20AC;? he said with a laugh of the 12-month, September-to-August intensive course. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We take a two-year, and do it in four semesters,â&#x20AC;? he said. As a spin-off of this diploma program, the college will be partnering with the Town of Perth and the Perth and District Chamber of Commerce to launch a four-course business certificate program, available only to chamber members. It was due to be launched at the chamberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual general meeting yesterday (March 26). The hospitality services pro-

gram will be a two-semester, one-year course, modified from the hotel management course. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more configured to a smaller community,â&#x20AC;? said Donaldson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll work for the Best Western Plus (Parkside Inn and Spa) hotel but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also work for mom and pop hotels and pubs.â&#x20AC;? In the second semester, the students will get a chance to plan

a heritage dinner. They will also graduate with WHIMS (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System), food safety training and Smart Serve training. Like the business program, this hospitality program was also modified from its Pembroke cousin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had good support from the tourism department at the

Dr. MacDonald has served Algonquin with distinction for 16 years, starting as an Academic Chair of Business, Technology and Outdoor Training at the Pembroke Campus, before moving to Ottawa to serve as Dean of the School of Business, Vice President Student Services and Development, Vice President Academic, and ultimately President.

He holds a Masters Degree in Education (Administration) from St. Francis Xavier University, Nova Scotia, and an MBA from the University of Ottawa. His undergraduate work was also completed at St. Francis Xavier University. Over the coming days, the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Board of Governors will work with the senior management team to ensure that this leadership transition proceeds as efficiently and smoothly as possible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On behalf of the entire Algonquin College community we congratulate Kent on his appointment and wish him the very best as he heads â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;,â&#x20AC;? added McIntosh.

Organists gather in Perth for special concert appearance Arts - Regular concert-goers may have had the opportunity to attend a recital by an organist at some point in their lives, but how many times have they had a chance to hear several organists in one program? That opportunity is coming Sunday March 30, 3 p.m. at St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; United Church, Perth, when members of the Kingston Centre of the Royal Canadian College of Organists (RCCO) gather for their annual Membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Recital. The RCCO, founded in 1909, is a national association of organists and church musicians in Canada with 32 centres from Victoria B.C. to Charlottetown in PEI. The chief aims of the organization are to promote a high standard of organ playing, choral directing, church music and composition. The Membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Recital is a vehicle to allow organists a chance to try out unfamiliar instruments, to share repertoire ideas with their colleagues, and to share their love of the instrument with the general public. The concerts have been running for about 30 years in various churches in Kingston, but this is the first time that the college has organized a road trip to another community for the recital. Brad Mills, director of music at St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is a member of the Kingston Centre of the RCCO and is hosting the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really looking forward to having my musician friends have a play on the St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organ â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the finest instruments between Ottawa and Kingston. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a 1939 Casavant that was enlarged and rebuilt in 1981 shortly after I arrived at the church. We added MIDI capability and additional digital stops in 2001, so it is now

a very complete instrument capable of playing a wide variety of repertoire,â&#x20AC;? Mills says. Millsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; former teacher at Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, and a consultant on the 1981 rebuild of the organ, Dr. David Cameron, will be one of the performers. He and Fran Harkness will be performing a movement from Cameronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sonata for Organ, Four Handsâ&#x20AC;?. Mills and local piano teacher Val Leavitt will be playing excerpts from their upcoming MERA fourhand piano concert as well as a piano and organ duet. Michael Capon, organist at St. Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anglican Cathedral in Kingston will play a piece by Canadian composer Ernest Macmillan, and Aurora Dokken, organist at St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Roman Catholic Cathedral will perform a 17th century sixmovement Italian sonata with trumpeter Lawrence House. The concert will be followed by a short question and answer session at the organ console, where concert-goers will have an opportunity to see the instrument up close and find out more about the world of the pipe organ, organ studies and careers and opportunities in the performance of organ music. Pianists in the area are encouraged to attend.

LOCAL NEWS MPP Hillier among speakers at April 4 hydro protest News – Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington MPP Randy Hillier has announced he will be among the speakers at the local protests against ever-rising electricity rates. Grassroots protests against unaffordable electricity rates are being held at cities and towns across the province on April 4. “Years of poor energy policies like the Green Energy Act have cost this province jobs, and forced people into the difficult situation of deciding whether to pay the mortgage or heat the house,” remarked Hillier.

The Lanark County event, organized by local businessman Doug Leitch, is being held at the Carleton Place Farmers’ Market at noon on April 4. “This is an opportunity for electricity customers to pull together and demonstrate their objection to this government’s bad energy policies,” added Hillier. “We’ve got to let the Premier know that we’ve had enough.” People seeking more information on the Carleton Place protest should contact Doug Leitch at 613-913-2863 or power_up@hotmail.ca.

Cobra Pools thrilled with seven big awards News – Cobra Pools and Spa Inc. of Perth recently earned seven Canadian Pool Construction Awards at the Pool and Hot Tub Council of Canada. “We never thought that we would ever be so fortunate to win an award as we did in 2012,” said

the Bradys. “Someone nominated us for the award.” The Bradys said they were honoured and surprised to be selected for this award but quick to point out that without the help and support of their entire staff it would not have been possible.

There were 12 judges selected by the Pool and Hot Tub Council from across Canada who took part in selecting the award winning projects. Cobra Pools and Spas Inc. earned the Dealer of the Year Award for Canada in 2012.

Calabogie racers excel at championships a rookie racer! James Gaffney (Deep River) and Ryan Geddie (Kanata) cross-blocked their way down the course as well, earning 17th and 24th overall. The 2003 boys skied beautifully, too. Carson Lefebvre (Calabogie) was on his way to the podium, sitting in third, when he missed a gate on the second run. But Jeremy Van Grunsven (Odessa) finished both and collected a fifth place ribbon. Aidan Maclean of Manotick skied to a PB of 14th place! The next day was GS at Mont Ste. Marie. Louise Stonham fearlessly sped to second again in the 2005 girls’ category, and Nicole Duff and Tori Cotter also finished two awesome runs. Noah Matthews inched up to second place in this race, and Thys Blok capped off his season with his first-ever podium – a fifth place result! Riley Cotter, who is one of the youngest in his division, also skied two super runs. Wyatt Campbell-Brunke had another tough day – he crashed on his first run but he refused to give up. On his second run he was determined to finish with a smile – and so he did with a fourth place time. The U12s skied their hardest, too. For the 2002 boys, Sam Alexander pulled off a firstplace finish this time, and Wesley Matthews managed to snag fifth. Luke Hansen skied two clean runs. Lucas Zohr fell on his first run, but was able to finish, and returned with a vengeance on his second run, beating his first time by seven seconds. James Gaffney and Ryan Geddie also displayed some nice carving. The 2003 boys were mostly successful – Jeremy Van Grunsven stepped it up to claim third place, while Aidan Maclean powered down the hill for another top 20 finish. Carson Lefebvre lost a ski in the first run, and was carrying so much speed that he flew right out of the course, but he came back strong-minded and nailed his second run. Combined with a speedy slalom result the day before, it was enough to allow

him to step on the podium for the first time, to pick up a third place medal. March 15-16 saw the U14s at Mont Ste. Marie for their championship GS, followed by Slalom the next day at Edelweiss. Lauren Campbell-Brunke (Renfrew) and Sophia Tan (Kanata) made it a two-three finish for the year 2000 girls in the GS. Emma Schreider (Kingston) was just outside the top 10 in 13th, while Alex Kerr (Kemptville) stayed close behind in 16th, and Jessica Earle (Ottawa) hot on her heels in 18th. Alyssa Steggall achieved a personal best this season, finishing sixth for the 2001 girls! Sam Duff (Pembroke) made his win for the year 2000 boys look effortless as he put together some beautiful turns. Liam Maclean and Aiden Keuninckx skied to spectacular season-best results, with Liam snagging 9th in his age group, and Aiden so close with 11th. For the year 2001 boys, Jack Alexander (Carp) grabbed third place, and Connor Allen (Manotick) was just off the podium in seventh. Owen Barr (Carp) has continued to rapidly improve, and he proved it on this day by landing in the in 10th. Tyler Lefebvre (Calabogie) skied the best GS run of his season and was sitting in third place, but he crashed on his second run. Sean Swayze of Braeside also skied one clean run and dramatically blew up on the second. The Slalom at Edelweiss was equally entertaining. Lauren Campbell-Brunke managed to grab fourth place in this race. Sophia Tan was just off the podium. Emma Schreider and Jessica Earle finished only 77 hundredths apart. Alex Kerr and Alyssa Steggall left it all on the hill, but both faced DSQs. The 2001 boys killed it – Jack Alexander, Sean Swayze, and Connor Allen went two-three-four on the podium for Calabogie. This was Allen’s podium debut. See CALABOGIE page P19

Sports - With the race season rapidly coming to a close, Calabogie’s alpine racers finished with a bang. Each division participated in regional championships over the March Break, and amid a series of medals, ribbons, and personal bests, each skier gave it their all and left it all on the hill. For championships, the athletes are divided into year-of-birth for overall results. The U10s and U12s kicked it off with their races March 8-9 at Vorlage and Mont Ste. Marie, QC. The first day was Slalom – stubby (short) gates for U10s and full gates for U12s. Louise Stonham of Arnprior finished in second for the 2005 girls, with Nicole Duff snagging her first-ever podium by landing close behind in fifth! Unfortunately, a close encounter with a t-bar put Tori Cotter (Ottawa) out of the race. For the 2004 boys, Noah Matthews (Calabogie) also managed a fifth, and Thys Blok (White Lake) continued his Top Ten streak with eighth place. Nolan Guttin (Mountain) finished two solid runs, displaying the amazing progress he has made this year. Connor Guttin (Mountain) and Riley Cotter (Ottawa) also gave it all they had, but their speed got the best of them and they both DQ’ed. Wyatt Campbell-Brunke (Renfrew) flew in on a winning streak, only to see the streak die when he crashed spectacularly on both runs. The U12s raced their Slalom immediately after the U10s. Annabel Wight (Kanata) skied to 16th in the 2002 girls’ division followed closely by Tess Schreider (Kingston) in 19th and Kasey Keyes (Nepean) in 21st – personal bests for all of these hard-working girls! Sam Alexander (Carp) and Wesley Matthews (Calabogie) stepped up on the podium for the 2002 boys – claiming second and third. Lucas Zohr of UOV and Luke Hansen of Renfrew were just outside in sixth and seventh. Hansen has demonstrated amazing improvement this year, especially for

PDCI EuroTrip fun Community – A group of 30 Perth and District Collegiate Institute students took advantage of a bike trip through Barcelona, Spain during their recent eurotrip to France and Spain. Six teachers joined the fun as the group took off for warmer climates on Saturday, March 8, for a 10-day European vacation to world famous destinations like Paris, France and Barcelona, Spain. The trip, booked through the school tour group specialists, EF Tours, has been in the works for more than a year and was planned thanks to the efforts of PDCI teachers Jackson Bannon, Rhonda Wright, Lori Stewart, Eli Funston, Paul Chapman and Cara Fleming. Students interested in participating in the trip were required to sign up in 2013 and were able to spread the payment for the trip over several months in order to keep the payments manageable.

a 7th in Slalom, which qualified him to attend the CanAms at Mont Tremblant March 20-23. Connor Maclean finished two beautiful Slalom runs on a course that many failed to complete, and found himself in 50th. Travis Reid skied to a respectable 58th in GS. Aylen Ferguson achieved her personal goals when she placed 21st in GS and 25th in Slalom. Jenna Wissing placed 38th in the GS and Grace Gaffney was right behind in 40th. All told, it was an excellent experience for the U16s. The U16s also competed at their regional championships March 8-9. More personal bests were achieved as Aylen, Grace, and Jenna were 6th, 11th, and 12th in the slalom. Alex came 5th in the GS, and Travis and Connor skied to 13th and 21st. The season will end with a dual slalom at Calabogie Peaks April 5.

Tyler Lefebvre and Owen Barr were also crowded into the top with Lefebvre just off the podium in seventh. Meanwhile, Liam Maclean skied two amazing runs for the 2000 boys, while Sam Duff recovered from a crash on his first run to smoothly attain the fastest time on the second. Aiden Keuninckx found his speed on this day, but tangled with gates for two DSQs. Calabogie Peaks was the site for the U16 Ontario Alpine Provincials March 12 to 15. This prestigious event brought together the best racers from all over Ontario. To compete in provincials, the athletes must first qualify within their regional division. Racers who finish in the top 20 in two races may then move on to CanAms, which gather the top

twenty athletes from each province and some American states. Calabogie Ski Racing Club was honoured to have been chosen to host this important occasion. A shout out must go to the club’s crew of dedicated volunteers, without whom the race could not have happened. Spectators enjoyed watching these highly competitive, skilled skiers compete. There was no shortage of thrills and spills on the hill – it was a mini-Olympics! CSRC’s representatives included Alex Duff (Pembroke), Connor Maclean (Manotick), Travis Reid (Kingston), Aylen Ferguson (Carp), Jenna Wissing (Kanata) and Grace Gaffney (Deep River). They competed in Super G, Giant Slalom, and Slalom races and their hard work made Calabogie proud. Alex Duff cracked the top 20 with a 19th place finish in the Super G, and capped off his weekend with

Summer and summer auditions on the way at Full Circle Theatre when women were allowed to take the stage in Britain and the cast reflects that, with an evenly balanced roster of seven males and seven females. All of the roles are strong, fun characters who delight in word play and innuendo. Ages range from 18 to 60, so there is plenty for everyone and, with a cast of 14, everyone will be needed. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fast, funny and racy comedy that truly stands the test of time and which is as much fun to perform as to see. BarnDoor Productions has put the acting script up for perusal on their website at www.barndoorproductions.ca. The audition will be held, starting at 7 p.m. on Monday, March 31 at Full Circle Theatre. This is an open audition and all are welcome; no experience is necessary. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a no-pressure evening of fun and laughs, so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid to come out. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the capper to an event-filled month that began on March 1 with 2 Women Productionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Tristan and Iseult and continued through last weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s SRO second annual Spring

Dead Flowers bloom at springtime dance By LIAM GROVE

Entertainment - Dead Flowers will be rising on stage as new ones struggle to rise outside. The Brooke Valley School will be hosting its annual benefit dance on Saturday, March 29, at Maberly Hall in Tay Valley Township. The eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities start at 6:30 p.m., and include a silent auction, door prizes, dancing and refreshments. Music will be provided by the ironically-named Dead Flowers, made up of parents at the school, who take to the stage at 7:30 p.m. Young local musicians will also rock out. Tickets are $20 for adults, $5 for students and admission is free for anyone aged 14 and under. The ticket prices use a sliding scale to address different needs, with the suggested price being $10 for

adults. Tickets are available from Riverguild 51 Gore St. E., in Perth or at the door. The money raised will be used to cover upkeep costs for the running of the school. Because Brooke Valley is a parent-funded private school, they are always looking for help to keep the facility maintained and to keep tuition at a reasonable price. Guests attending the event will have an array of food provided, including pizza, assorted snacks and specialty maple treats to celebrate the coming maple season. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dance drew in around 90 guests, including students, parents and residents of the surrounding communities, and approximately the same number are expected to attend this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had the same dance last year and it was a hit,â&#x20AC;? said event organizer Erin

the stage. And, of course, every other Wednesday is Film Night International, with some of the best independent cinema on FCTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wide-screen digital projection system. Offerings for May include The Tay Valley Choir, more music, more cinema and a possible visiting production from Ottawa. In June, BarnDoor Productions is back with the classic thriller, Gaslight, before

the Perth Academy of Musical Theatre begins their summer workshop series through July and August, with a break for The Country Wife at the end of July. Surely, a lineup like that will start melting this weary old winter, beginning Monday, March 31 with auditions for our summer classic.

Arts - Summer is certainly on the way. One sure sign is that BarnDoor Productions is holding auditions for their annual summer classic. For 2014, the Perth-based community theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 95th production will be William Wycherlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classic comedy, The Country Wife. BDPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tradition of summer classics goes back to 1996, when they presented The Taming of the Shrew outdoors in the gardens of the Perth Manor. Since then, they have presented shows ranging from Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet to Moliereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Imaginary Invalid and even the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first musical comedy, John Gayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Beggarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Opera. The Country Wife is a restoration comedy from 1675 that, due to its racy, even bawdy content was effectively banned from production from about 1720 to 1920. The tastes of the times didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow for a play about strong-minded women who went out and got what they wanted, especially when what they wanted was a rakish and devious man who was not their husband. The show stems from the first decade

Days of Yore … From The Perth Courier, Friday, June 4, 1970, beneath a photo: “Master Corporal Fred White of RR 2, Perth, attaches the Battalion sign outside the Canadian Contingent in Nicosia, Cyprus. MCpl. White is a member of the 1st Battalion, The Royal Canadian Regiment, which arrived in Cyprus last week for a six months tour of duty with the United Nations peacekeeping force.” Did you know? Modern-day radar (radio detection and ranging), came about through the research and development of Sir Robert Watson-Watt of Scotland. Watson-Watt originally intended his system to act as a “death ray” used for destroying enemy aircraft, but it was eventually developed into both ground and airborne radar as an effective military system used during World War II. It is the widely held belief that Radar was vital in helping the Royal Air Force and its allies win the Battle of Britain.

Perth celebrates Earth Hour March 23 News - For the past five years, the Town of Perth has participated in the World Wildlife Fund’s annual Earth Hour, a commitment not only to the environment, but a tribute to the work of the late Deputy Mayor, Wendy Laut, who spearheaded the event here in Perth. This year will be no exception, and Perthites are encouraged to join in on Saturday, March 29, between 8:30 and 9:30 p.m., at which time everyone around the globe is asked to recognize environmental issues by turning off all non-essential lights and electrical appliances. Town staff will do the same at all town-owned facilities, where feasible. Earth Hour was implemented by the WWF and first recognized in Australia, in 2007. Since then it has grown to engage more than 7,000 cities and towns worldwide.

Relax,

The “Military Service Recognition Book” project, an Ontario Provincial Command initiative for honouring deserving veterans, will be officially launched during Legion Week of this year, when 15,000 copies of the first book will be distributed to participating branches. Our Legion branch will be submitting several names of Perth and area veterans for this first book, and other submissions can be made for future books. The Ontario Command website mentions that private citizens and businesses may be solicited by telephone requesting support to publish this book. Two Saturday events are coming up soon, the regular meat draw on Mar. 29, from 2 to 4 p.m., and a Jamboree on April 12 from 2 to 6 p.m. Music for the Jamboree will be provided by Tommy Valiquette and Terri Bennett and those attending

Community - Veterans Affairs Canada has recently announced a travel subsidy for 70th Anniversary D-Day and Battle of Normandy veterans who wish to attend ceremonies overseas, where the government may pay up to $2,000 to help vets return to the site of the invasion. More information and application forms are available at the following link: http://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/remembrance/history/secondworld-war/d-day. Look for the section marked “Travel Assistance”. “Rock the Hill 2014” is an event scheduled to take place on Parliament Hill in Ottawa starting on June 4, and is being organized by veterans’ advocate Rob Gallant. We hope to travel to this rally as a group, and are in the preliminary stages of planning. More information will be appearing soon on our website mentioned at the end of this column, and Facebook members can search for the group “Rock the Hill” for more details. Anyone who is concerned about the fair treatment of veterans by our government should consider attending this event.

Legion members urged to attend ‘Rock the Hill 2014’ this spring

New in 2014 is Earth Hour Blue, a campaign to utilize crowd-funding and crowd-sourcing as a platform for the planet. What started as an event has now become a global movement. For further information on this new component, please visit www.earthhour.org to see the many campaigns and projects in which you can participate. Earth Hour can be devoted to observing, conserving or celebrating with family and friends. Wind-up flashlights and beeswax candles are environmentally friendly light source alternatives. Perthites are known for their dedication to this movement, and in the past, even concerts have continued in the dark. Earth Hour can also be found on Facebook at Earth Hour Canada.
