Next two Syrian families may not arrive until 2017 Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
The next two Syrian refugee families hoping to call Perth home may have to wait until 2017 to arrive. In an update to the community on the refugee resettlement process, Ann Munroe of the Community Alliance for Refugee Resettlement (CARR), said that while the arrival of the first refugee family on Feb. 16, and, a short time later, a second family of six, sponsored by St. John Roman Catholic Church, was “a shining example of… the good will that abounds in this community,” from here on, “the process will take some time.” Last year, the newly-elected Liberal government was rushing to get as many refugees to Canada by the New Year’s Eve deadline as possible. While it missed that target, the next rush was on then for the end of February. See REFUGEES page P4

The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) celebrated the first of four area Bravo Breakfast Awards April 6 at Hanley Hall in Smiths Falls, recognizing students from the Smiths Falls area schools with the prestigious award. One student from each elementary and secondary school is chosen to receive this award annually, which acknowledges the unsung heroes within CDSBEO Catholic schools. Director of education, Wm. J. Gartland, began the tradition of honouring these remarkable achievers eight years ago. “Each of the young people here has been selected by their individual school communities for their special contribution,” explained Gartland. “You have made a difference in the lives of those around you, and you have put others ahead of yourselves in many circumstances. Each of you represents what we hope all of our students aspire to do and be.” Also in attendance were chair Brent Laton, and trustee Robin Reil (City of Brockville, Town of Smiths Falls and Leeds County). The following students were recognized at the April 6 Bravo Breakfast: • Isaac Legere, Grade 5, Holy Cross Catholic School, Kemptville • John Martin, Grade 7, Holy Name of Mary Catholic School, Almonte • Emma Schonauer, Grade 6, Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic School, Lanark • Charlie Shillington, Grade 6, St. Edward Catholic School, Westport • Kayla Malette, Grade 7, St. Fran-

Jean and Sylvie Pignal of the Ashton General Store in Ashton stand beside the store’s historic post office wicket. The store is closing on Friday, April 22 as the store’s five-year lease has ended and is not being renewed.
Ashton General Store to close, goes up for sale John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
For many over the last five years, the Ashton General Store has been like a home away from home, a place to meet and chat with friends and neighbours. It has not only been the community’s post office and a place to enjoy a fresh baked treat with coffee but it has been the community meeting place. That will all come to a stop as the store is set to close on Friday, April 22 when its lease is up. The building is for sale and it’s to be sold with no tenant in place. For Ashton General Store owner Sylvie Pignal, this marks the end of a five-year tenure that saw her triple the store’s sales and clientele by focusing on a business plan that involved making it a place where community residents felt welcomed and where local products such as jams, jellies and crafts could be sold. The plan called for an on-premises bakery, daily preparation of fresh sandwiches and a soup of the day. It called for Sylvie herself be at the store at around 2 a.m. each morning to begin preparation of the sandwiches and food, so that everything would be ready for the 5 a.m. opening. Regulars would even get a sticker on their sandwiches, with their name on it and a reminder that the food was made “with love.”
“I feel I brought the community together,” Sylvie says about her approach to running the store, adding that what has happened in the impending closure of the store is “so sad.” She set out to make it into an old-fashioned general store where the community would feel at home. “We’re disappointed for the community,” Sylvie’s husband Jean Pignal says, recounting how the store has become a community hub. The choirs from both of the churches in Ashton assembled at the store at Christmastime for some carolling with food and drink provided by the store. Governor General David Johnston and his wife spent four hours visiting and their photo can be found among the myriad of photographs on display behind glass on the kitchen-like table at the front of the store. The same table around which community members gather daily for coffee and conversation. Another of these photographs shows the folks from CTV’s Regional Contact show who featured the Ashton General Store in a piece on the oldest such general stores in the area. Birthday parties and anniversaries are both regular occurrences. The Ashton General Store also has a “lending library” section where patrons can grab a book and take it home to read, bringing it back when finished. When building owner Bill
Patterson passed away last fall, precipitating the lease crisis which led to the store’s closing, the store was jammed with well wishers at a memorial celebration of his life held there. And Sylvie is not letting Patterson be forgotten as she is planning to donate several iconic pieces of the store’s history to the Goulbourn Museum in his memory. Those items include the store’s historic postal wicket, its postal cancellation stamp hammer and well-worn felt pad, along with a history of the post office’s activity dating back to 1858, making it one of the oldest in Canada. Post office closing as well The store’s closing, of course, means that Ashton is losing its post office outlet in the community after more than about 150 years in the location. Indeed, it was the post office perhaps more than anything that best represented the way Sylvie incorporated the old with the new, the way she fostered and encouraged the qualities and characteristics of the traditional historic general store with today’s modern need for efficient, friendly service. The historic postal wicket is there in the store, front and centre, impossible to miss as you enter the front door. But right behind it is all of the modern computer technology See ASHTON page 6

Touring teen play addresses suicide in Lanark County During the final two weeks of April, a new youth theatre troupe called Listen Up, Lanark County! will be touring to Almonte/Mississippi Mills, Carleton Place, Smiths Falls and Perth. Staging a new hour-long play entitled Jessie’s Song, it focuses on the ripple effects of teen suicide on a community. Confirmed dates include Friday, April 22 at 7 p.m. at YAK in Perth, Thursday, April 28 at 7 p.m. at the Old Town Hall in Almonte, with dates in Smiths Falls and Carleton Place to be announced. Produced by Burning Passions Theatre, the project is a collaborative effort by a quartet of teenagers who have worked to develop the play, facilitated by the company’s artistic producer Laurel Smith, who also helms the summertime Classic Theatre Festival in Perth. Also working with the troupe is community engagement intern and recent Carleton University Bachelor of Social Work graduate, Gillian Scott. “It’s a great opportunity for young people to come together and, in an unfiltered way, express their most honest and heartfelt thoughts about the compelling challenges they face on a daily basis, obstacles which tend to be invisible to so many of us in the adult world,” says Smith. Listen Up, Lanark County! is in its second year following a

It is playing throughout Lanark County the last two weeks of April. successful 2015 launch, which played at the national Youth Centres Canada conference before hundreds of teenagers from across the country and in Perth as well. The project was created to address uniquely rural challenges faced by teenagers, from the lack of transportation and youth homelessness to issues of gender fluidity, depression and anxiety, sexual assault, substance abuse, and self-harm. Many of those challenges have been documented in reports by regional health units and in media coverage that reveals the significant risks faced by a younger demographic. A
KITCHENS BATHROOMS
2015 report by the Canadian Institute for Health Information found that emergency hospitalization involving at least one overnight stay for young people aged five to 24 to address mental health crises had increased 37 per cent in the last seven years, with the age group most affected 15 to 17. The despair facing many teenagers is also reflected in statistics compiled by CHEO, which has found that 79 per cent of children and youth assessed by crisis intervention workers in emergency had shown suicidal behavior, and over one-third had a suicide
plan or had made an attempt. “Despite this, there’s still so much stigma and silence in talking about mental health issues,” explains Smith, “and so this theatre piece is one more opportunity to have a serious discussion that is based on the real lived experiences of the young people in our own communities.” This year, troupe members include Perth’s Kaija Evangelho and Tara Kreissler (veterans of the project’s first year) and newcomers Garrett Pipher of Smiths Falls and Ruby Davidson of Tay Valley. All performances will feature a talk-back session, resource materials for people needing assistance, and an onsite social service worker who can assist with anyone who may be triggered by the content. The show is supported by the Ontario Arts Council, the Perth & District Community Foundation, YAK Youth Services, Kiwanis Club of Perthon-Tay, Lioness Club of Perth, First Baptist Church, Unifor, Basilian Human Development Fund, and the Crabtree Foundation. All performances are free (donations will be gratefully accepted, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds).

April 18 CFUW talk focuses on study in environmental issues, climate change Our weather is changing, the Polar Icecap is melting and someone forgot to tell the weatherman it is April! What is happening to our environment? Please join the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) for an in-depth look at the environmental issues facing our local area. As well, we will be studying environmental issues in several developing countries. Please join us on Monday, April 18 at the Royal Canadian Legion building at 26 Beckwith Street East in Perth at 7 p.m. to learn more about the environmental issues affecting our climate as well as issues facing developing countries. Our
evening will feature two very accomplished women: Joy Sterritt, a CFUW member and resources management supervisor for the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, and Veena Ravichardran, a climate and development consultant. Joy will provide an overview of the historical geology of eastern Ontario including the existence of the ancient Champlain Sea and the formation of the Frontenac Arch. She will also share information about local flora and fauna and the uniqueness of the vegetation of the landscape in eastern Ontario. Veena will share with us a more global look at climate
REAL invites applications for 2016 community garden plots REAL and partners have been offering garden plots at the site of the REAL Deal store since 2010. The organization is now accepting applications for 2016. REAL has invested funds to create 11 excellent raisedbed garden plots finished off with first rate “super soil” and enhanced by water barrel facilities. It charges only $20 for the privilege of use throughout the spring, summer and fall. The objective is to give people who don’t have access to garden space an opportunity to grow their own food. REAL also wants these gardens to be a positive demonstration of what motivated people can do – to set an example for others. One of the plots – the Stone Soup Garden – is dedicated to raising food for the community. The rest are reserved for the pleasure of the gardeners, who are be-
ing asked this year to share a small portion of their crop with friends, neighbours and community groups that would welcome some fresh vegetables over the summer. This year there is an application form designed to recruit gardeners who will make a serious commitment. Interested persons are asked to pick up an application form at the REAL DEAL store (85 William St. W., Smiths Falls) or online at www.REALaction. ca, complete it and return it by May 1 to the store along with a fee of $20 (cash or cheque payable to REAL) and signed Community Garden pledge.

required in a modern post office of today. So, while the past is honoured and remembered, the present is served in the most modern of ways thanks to the up-do-date postal equipment right behind it. Jean, who works in the federal government, notes it was Sylvie’s dream to open and operate this Ashton General Store, making it the community meeting place that it has become. He said they aren’t interested in opening a variety store elsewhere. Betty Lewis is one person who can tell you a lot about the store’s history because she grew up living above it as her father, Alvin McKay, operated the store from 1950 to 1962. She knows all about the groceries and hardware which were sold there in those years and how customers played cards there at night. Ken Campbell of Ashton, who will be celebrating his 60th wedding anniversary this June, remembers the Ashton General Store well in previous days but also harbours good feelings about the store today, calling it a “friendly, very friendly” place where a person can have a muffin and coffee and chat with others from the community. “We feel awfully sorry about it closing,” he says. “We’re going to miss it.” Ken’s wife Joan is one of those in the community who has provided lo-

Shirley Fee is another who has visited the store over the years and likes what it has become which she calls a nice place for seniors to gather to start their day. Another fan is June Arthur, who lives on the Flewellyn Road. She’s comes to the Ashton General Store with her husband Don where they enjoy coffee and a chat with others. Arthur credits Sylvie with bringing
the store back from virtually nothing it a hub. She laments that she and Don will now have to have coffee at home or at Tim Hortons in Stittsville. “Nothing can take the place of this store,” she says. And Don admits to be extremely disappointed that the store is closing. “It’s like it’s coming home,” he says about visiting the store. “It’s just like sitting at home,” he adds. And if you have forgotten your
money, no problem – you can pay for your coffee the next time that you are in, he notes. David Thorsell, who has lived at Ashton for 48 years, praises Sylvie for making the Ashton General Store thrive. “What she has brought into this atmosphere has made a difference,” he says, noting community members aren’t just served but others including many cyclists who pass through Ashton, stopping for a rest and refreshments. He says that for local residents, the Ashton General Store has become a place to hang out and visit with friends, with lots of laughs happening. It’s an atmosphere, he points out, that can’t be found in any convenience store or restaurant. Cavanagh Construction has its headquarters just up the road on Ashton Station Road. Owner Tom Cavanagh says he doesn’t like to see the store closing, noting his staff purchase a lot of sandwiches there during the summer. As someone who grew up in the Ashton/Munster area, Tom remembers coming to the Ashton General Store and post office. Now, he usually drops in around 7 a.m. to grab a coffee and a newspaper. He points out that homeowners in the new residential housing development being built on the Beckwith side of the Ashton Station Road will now have no local store to visit.
“It’s just too bad seeing it closed,” Tom says. The community echoes those sentiments. Sylvie’s Ashton General Store Facebook page received more than 21,000 views between the time that the news was put up on the page at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, April 13 and 2 p.m. on the following day. “So many comments, so many memories,” Sylvie says about the many comments left on the page. “So many affected,” she sighs.

Talk a walk in the woods of nature reserve with Ottawa author April 24 travelled throughout Canada, the US and the UK talking to countless people who see walking as transformative, with benefits that go far beyond simple transportation or recreation. Rubinstein’s talk will cover some of the latest research into the physical, emotional and spiritual benefits of walking. Learn more at borntowalk. org. The Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust (MMLT) shares Rubinstein’s convictions and feels that nature itself offers similar benefits to humanity. If you combine nature and walking together you’ve found a very powerful tool to help transform your life. High Lonesome Nature Reserve is a 200-acre wilderness property in the Pakenham hills, within easy driving distance of Ottawa. The property was donated to the Land Trust by
the family of Barry (Sam) Spicer in 2012 and has seen a growing number of visitors each year since. The eight kilometres of trails wind through forests and wetlands, passing through a variety of rich habitats. Who knows what interesting wildlife you’ll see along the way? Registration for this event is at
9:30 a.m. on April 24, rain or shine, with Dan’s presentation starting at 10 a.m. Following the talk we’ll set off on the trails and it’s probably wise to wear waterproof footwear this time of year. The admission fee is a $10 donation to MMLT. To reach High Lonesome, take County Road 29 to Pakenham Village and turn onto
Waba Road. Continue west for 2.9 km, turn left on Barr Side Road and travel for 1.6 km. Take the first left at Carbine Road and drive 4 km to 867 Carbine Road and you have arrived! For further information and a map, visit mmlt.ca/events. Submitted by the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust

On Sunday, April 24 you’ll have the opportunity to hear all about the benefits of walking from an expert and then you can take a stroll through the winding, scenic trails of High Lonesome Nature Reserve to enjoy those benefits first hand.

COMMENTARY
Serving the future
A
s countless volunteers are acknowledged at this time of year for their efforts to make communities better places, we salute the men and women who serve with the Air Cadet programs as well as the teenagers and pre-teens who belong to local squadrons such as 585 Rideau in Smiths Falls as well as the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets Corps 338 Defiant in Kemptville. Seeing the cadets and the volunteers in action during their annual reviews and activities reinforces the value of the cadet program in terms of providing opportunities to develop skills and leadership among youth. Through weekly training sessions as well as participation in special events, young people learn about respect and teamwork. We know that the program does not appeal to some teenagers, but it is an option that youngsters and their parents might want to consider. We also note the contributions made by volunteers at the Rideau St. Lawrence regional science fair that involves intermedi-
ate and secondary students from throughout the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville area. The support shown by the helpers and by the companies and organizations that sponsor the annual competition encourages the teens and pre-teens to take part and to consider pursuing studies or a career in a science-related field. Like the cadets, putting many hours of work into a science fair entry might not be something that appeals to all youngsters. Then again, the same can be said for organized sports or music and the arts. The bottom line is that it’s nice to be able to provide a range of options to young people and let them decide what interests them. So to all the coaches and volunteers who are involved in minor recreation, cadets or some extra-curricular program, we acknowledge your ongoing efforts and hope that the next generation will recognize the value of your service and be willing to follow your lead when they are in a position to serve as role models and mentors when they get the chance to return the favour in the future.
Hand-me-down box came with a colourful surprise The spring hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie was waiting for us at the station in Renfrew. The stationmaster had called...a man of few words, and all he said was, “it’s here.” We knew exactly what he was talking about. It would mean a trip into Renfrew with the flatbottomed wagon. The wooden box, which had one time held bulk tea and was lined with a heavy silver kind of paper, was much too big for the buggy. So the team was hitched to the wagon and Father made the 12.5-mile trip into Renfrew. It was almost suppertime by the time we saw Father come in the lane. With the three brothers helping, the big box was heaved into the kitchen, where it would sit until our evening meal was over, the kitchen redded up, and our hands washed.

I could never understand why we all had to wash our hands before we could touch an old and badly marked-up box that came all the way from Regina on the CPR train. Very seldom was there anything in the box besides boy’s clothes and well-worn men’s suits and shirts from Uncle Jack. It was like my sister Audrey and I didn’t even exist, as far as Aunt Lizzie was concerned. Sometimes, there was a piece of material for Mother, or a pair of high-heeled shoes,
which fit no one in our family. That night, sitting around the box, as Everett pried off the lid with the crowbar, in my mind’s eye, I thought we looked just like my Sunday school class at the Lutheran Church at Northcote...all in a circle around Miss Kallies. And it wasn’t any more exciting either! Why Audrey and I even bothered to sit and wait for the box to be unpacked was beyond me! Well, were we in for a surprise! Sitting on the very top of the pile of clothes was a big red leghorn hat. (I had no idea why they were called leghorn hats, since I thought a leghorn was a hen running around in the barnyard!) But there it was, one of Aunt Lizzie’s hats. She loved red and Audrey said that’s why it was Mother’s least favourite colour. The crown of the hat

just handed her a $100 bill! She went right to the mirror at the back door, wearing the hat. My sister let out a snicker. “Mother, you can’t wear that with the crown all smashed down.” A flat crown was not going to stop Mother from wearing the hat, and she went right to the wood box where a stack of Renfrew Mercury papers were at the ready, and scrunched up several and crammed them into the hat. Right before our eyes we could see the hat transformed into something that would only be
seen on the head of one of Renfrew’s riches women! I knew the hat would be going to the Lutheran Church on Sunday! And it did. And it certainly caught the attention of the other ladies. Many complimented Mother, which pleased me no end! We took our pew and Father had to move over from Mother, because the wide brim of the hat caught him square in the face when she turned her head. So I sat beside her, taking many a look at Aunt Lizzie’s hat that had found new life out there in Renfrew county. Halfway through the sermon,
I glanced at the hat, and poking out, just above Mother’s ear, was a good sized piece of the Renfrew Mercury advertising silk bloomers at .20 cents a pair. I was torn. Should I try to stuff the piece back into the hat, tell Mother what was happening, or let nature take its course? I decided to poke the paper back into the hat, which caused Mother to glare down at me as if I had committed some deadly sin. I whispered to her, as quietly as I could what was happening, which caused the minister to glare down at me, but I could tell Mother was grateful. Heaven
of possibilities. Children who have been in mentoring programs see real, positive change. The children involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters go on to graduate from high school at a rate of 20 per cent higher than the national average. Seventy-eight per cent of those children who came from a social assistance background no longer rely on this form of income and a disproportionately high number of former Littles graduate from college or university compared to others in their age group. On the other hand, children who are denied the benefit of a positive role model are children who will continue to be deemed “at risk”, and not children “on the brink of success.” Supporting Big Brothers Big Sisters can have big results. It can be as simple as a game of golf.

Teresa Clowe of the Leeds, Grenville, Lanark District Health Unit noted a commissioned report from Public Health Ontario looked at Clearview and indicated there is more danger to being exposed to the toxins in wild parsnip than to the chemical as long as it is applied properly. The county’s spraying program will be advertised and residents may request “no spraying” signs. Some local rural municipalities have opted to join in the
county’s tender for the program. The Lanark County Stewardship Council’s workshop will feature representatives from the OIPC, OVMA, the City of Ottawa, the county and the health unit on April 30 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Lanark Civitan Hall, 2144 Pine Grove Road.

ling wild parsnip before it becomes established will reduce its impacts on biodiversity, economy and society.” Control measures can include mowing, digging up the plants (for small infestations) or using herbicides (with permits) in the spring before the plants flower. She emphasized the importance of protective clothing for anyone working near wild parsnip, as well as procedures for washing if exposed to sap. Wild parsnip should not be burned or composted and different municipalities may have disposal rules related to the plant. Chad Horton, Ontario Vegetation Management Association president, explained the OVMA is a non-profit organization with representatives from every sector of the industry to provide members with a forum for networking and information sharing about environmentally sound, cost effective, industrial and forestry vegetation management practices in Ontario. He outlined the use of pesticides for public works for the “protection of public health and safety, and to prevent damage to the structural integrity of a public work,” adding herbicide application must be approved in Ontario by Health Canada. Horton provided an overview of two herbicides that have been highly effective against the weeds (Clearview and Truvist) and outlined the notice requirements from the provincial Ministry of the Environment, including signage or newspaper and online advertisements. Steve Ford of the OVMA reviewed equipment cleaning protocols for public works staff and best management practices in Ontario to help minimize the spread of wild parsnip. He noted unintentional introduction can happen with heavy equipment encountering contaminated mud, gravel, water, soil and plant material. “Rhizomes and roots can travel unseen in mud lodged in equipment.” He said invasive weeds affect forest regeneration, crop yields, seedling establishment, growth rates and trail management. “Trails act as corridors for invasive plants because use and maintenance cre-

As warm weather approaches, Lanark County and local municipal staff and decision makers have been gathering information on best practices for controlling noxious plants, particularly wild parsnip, while gaining understanding of the risks they pose. County council has approved continuing a roadside weed spraying program in 2016 for all county roads for two consecutive years, and then to proceed with biannual spraying of 50 per cent of the road system starting in year three. “We plan to work to eradicate wild parsnip by using integrated pest management principles that involve assessment and follow-up,” explained Janet Tysick, Lanark County public works business manager. “Monitoring and assessing the various areas each year will be important in order to determine the best strategy.” Wild parsnip is becoming increasingly common and has health hazards associated with it. It contains toxic compounds called furanocoumarins, which can cause serious burns or blisters when the sap is exposed to sunlight. The county conducted roadside weed spraying on 80 kilometres of county roads in 2015 on a trial basis with a licensed contractor. On March 9, the county invited speakers from the Ontario Vegetation Management Association (OVMA), the Ontario Invasive Plant Council (OIPC) and the City of Ottawa to provide information to councillors and staff about the weed, methods to eradicate it and safety precautions. A public session hosted by the Lanark County Stewardship Council is planned for April 30 at the Lanark Civitan Hall. At the county’s session, Iola Price of OIPC described best practices in Ontario to control wild parsnip and outlined its detrimental effects. “It out-competes native vegetation and crowds out important, low-growing plants. Pollinators may not visit as often as other native species. It can reduce the quality of some agricultural forage crop.” She said pest management involves many factors and may require several years of work. “Control-
Dream of Major League Baseball return to Montreal brightens I will never forget the first professional baseball game I ever saw in person in Canada. It was on Saturday May 10, 1969 at Jarry Park in Montreal. The former Montreal Expos had just started their first season in Major League Baseball (MLB). I travelled to Montreal with a busload of players and coaches from the Stittsville Little League. At the time I was helping coach one of the teams in the fourteam league. Interest in baseball in Montreal was, not surprisingly, at its zenith. You wouldn’t have known it on this day though! The game was played in winter-like conditions with a frigid wind whipping snow flurries around. Records show that just 7,079 hearty souls – including 40 players and coaches from Stittsville – were in the stands on that long ago afternoon. The park held some 27,000. Expos’ opponents were the Cincinnati Reds. The Reds’ centre fielder that day was 28-year-old Pete Rose. A young catcher named Johnny Bench got one at bat. We were huddled in the left field bleachers, the section of Parc Jarry which would soon be unofficially called “Jonesville” in honour of Expos’ leftfielder Mack Jones. He, along with right fielder Rusty Staub and a few others, quickly became fan favourites in Montreal. The power hitting Jones was nicknamed “the Mayor of Jonesville.” And it was clean-up hitter Jones who gave Expos a huge lift. In the bottom of the first inning the first three Montreal batters reached base. Jones came to the plate and deposited a pitch from Cincinnati starting pitcher Jack Fisher over the right field fence for a grand slam home run. Fisher lasted only one-third of an inning before being replaced by reliever George Culver. In those days Expos’ clubhouse was located under the stands along the

third baseline. With the wind howling and the snow flying Jones, a native of Atlanta, Georgia (he passed away in June 2004 from complications of stomach cancer) cut a very lonely figure when Expos were in the field. He was obviously still warm when he went to the plate in the bottom of the opening inning. After that the weather clearly got to the big Georgia native. There was a door at the end of the stands, close to the bleachers in left. I clearly recall that at the end of every inning in the field, Jones sprinted for that door. He hurriedly made his way inside before reappearing in the Montreal dugout after a brief, but welcome, warm-up in the clubhouse. Under dressed Fans didn’t have that benefit of course. I was a teenager and just like teens today I never listened to my mother’s sage advice. Before I left home my Mom intoned, “Jeffrey – don’t forget to put on some warm clothes. It’s going to be cold today. Especially sitting in that ball park!” She was right of course. It was absolutely icy in fact. But hey, parkas and toques aren’t cool – right! I was under dressed. So between innings I scurried underneath the stands (where it wasn’t much warmer). A couple of times I bought coffee in the hope caffeine would somehow insulate me against winter in spring. It didn’t! Still, 47 years after the fact, I vividly remember how much I enjoyed that game. Cincinnati clawed their way back into the game but Expos hung on for a 7-6 victory. Reliever Dan McGinn got the pitching win in relief of starter Bill Stoneman.
Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE
That game in 1969 was the first of so many MLB games I attended at old Jarry Park and later the Olympic Stadium over the course of the team’s 35 year history. I was also fortunate enough to attend the first MLB AllStar game played outside the United States on July 13, 1982 at Olympic Stadium. The NL won 4-1. When Triple A baseball returned to Ottawa in 1993 our family had three season tickets for Ottawa Lynx games for nine years. Lynx were the Expos’ top farm team. A variety of factors contributed to the demise of the Montreal team after 35 years in Canada’s second largest city. Following the 2004 campaign Expos relocated to the American capital, becoming the Washington Nationals. In 2008, following 15 seasons in Ottawa, the Lynx Class AAA franchise was relocated to Allentown, Pennsylvania. Losing their affiliation with the Expos was a huge contributing factor in the decline of the franchise and the eventual move from Canada’s capital! Due to family connections in Michigan and southwestern Ontario I’ve always been a die-hard Detroit Tigers’ fan. Tigers play in the American League (AL) which was perfect for me. The Expos were my NL favourites. Since Montreal lost its team I gradually switched my affiliation to the To-
ronto Blue Jays, even though Jays and Tigers are long-time AL opponents. But as a patriotic Canadian and a baseball fan my duty was clear. I have to support “Canada’s team.” Jays of course are the only Canadian team to have won the World Series. They did it back-to-back in 1992 and 1993. Many Montrealers and many Canadians have never gotten over the loss of the Expos. Montreal is a baseball town and Canada is one of the top countries in the world when it comes to producing MLB talent! For several years there has been a campaign afoot to bring Major League Baseball back to the city. I must admit that at first I didn’t take the idea seriously. My thinking has now changed, partly due to the unshakeable commitment by Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre (the former Liberal cabinet minister) to return baseball to his city. It was Coderre’s meeting with new MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred last May that convinced me this plan is gaining traction. Manfred was more than a little positive about the idea. If you examine the current set-up closely you will discover that there aren’t a lot of options open to the MLB when it comes to expansion and/ or the relocation of sagging franchises. Two teams come to mind. Tampa Bay Rays and Oakland Athletics, both in the AL, are struggling to survive in their markets. Both have stadium issues, something a new Montreal franchise would also face initially.
stadium it is possible the powers-thatbe at MLB headquarters would seriously consider a solid bid from a good ownership group. Insiders say major investors are seriously interested although the huge cost of a franchise (a minimum of $700 million US by most accounts) coupled with the current low value of the Canadian dollar are potential deal breakers. Coderre is determined! He insists the MLB will return to Montreal. Last August, at the invitation of Manfred, the mayor attended the Hall of Fame ceremonies in Cooperstown, New York during which former Expos’ hurlers Pedro Martinez and Randy Johnson were formally admitted to the baseball shrine. Coderre also has the backing of new Prime Minister Justin Trudeau who has named a Montreal baseball franchise as something he would love to see. For once (maybe only once) I agree with our PM! Among those working hard to see MLB return to Montreal is a group led by former Expos’ outfielder Warren Cromartie. He heads the ‘Montreal Baseball Project’. For three seasons they’ve spearheaded the program which has seen the Blue Jays play their final exhibition games of the spring at Olympic Stadium. This year (April 1 and 2) Jays took on the Boston Red Sox. Those contests drew well over 100,000 enthusiastic baseball fans to the “Big O.” Underlining the enthusiasm about a possible Montreal franchise is the fact that more than 300,000 people Downtown stadium have purchased tickets to Jays’ exhibiHowever if Montreal, with the pos- tion games in Montreal in three years. sible assistance of big government, See MAGUIRE page 12 could commit to a new downtown

Community welcome to attend horticultural society AGM April 23 There will be no regular monthly meeting of the Smiths Falls Horticultural Society in April. The society is hosting the Annual General Meeting (AGM) for District 2 on Saturday, April 23. Due to the unfortunate fire at the Smiths Falls Royal Canadian Legion, this meeting will be held at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute, our local high school on Percy Street behind County Fair Mall. The cost to attend the full day is $20. This includes a breakfast buffet and a buffet lunch. We welcome everyone in the community to attend. Preregistration closed on April 9 but please contact Kathleen at 613-667-1265, Lorna at 613283-0549 or Debra at 613-2830056 to arrange for tickets. Our guest floral designer is Penny Stewart who will start things off with her demonstration. Penny is a very experienced designer as well as a certified judge for flower shows. The theme of this AGM meeting is “Back to Our Roots” and in keeping with that, the morning speakers are from two local farms. Dale Horeczy owner of Kricklewood Farms, our local source for sunflower oil products, will speak to us about the many events and products coming from the Frankville area farm. This is followed by a presentation by Sarah MacKenzie from Hollyhock Grange, Kitley Line 1. This farm has a complete selection of local food products available. Sarah is on the board of directors of Two Rivers Food Hub, a local initiative that is an exciting addition to our community. Please visit the website to learn

That hasn’t escaped the attention of Manfred and company. Coderre and others have made sure of it! The mayor’s commitment to the game has also swung to minor baseball. He introduced a municipal baseball policy, setting aside $11M a year for three years to upgrade baseball fields in Montreal which have fallen into disrepair. Baseball Quebec, which is responsible for youth baseball in the province, says sign-ups have skyrocketed. There were 27,000 players in Quebec last season

There will be a digital presentation with comments on the D2 photography contest. There are a wide variety of topics and the photographs are always beautifully done. Each guest society was invited to submit a floral design to display “Back to Our Roots” for their area. This is a fun show than can be viewed during breaks in the meeting. Our special guest speaker, Paul Zammit, follows a brief business meeting after lunch. Paul’s talk is scheduled to begin at 2:15 p.m. Paul is the current Nancy Eaton Director of Horticulture at the Toronto Botanical Gardens. He has inspired audiences throughout Canada, United Sates and parts of Europe with his presentations. If you would like to arrive for this presentation only there is a fee of $5. Again please call for availability of space. At the March meeting we held both February and March photo contests with the following results: February “Icy/ Frosty/Snowy”, Brian Bellevue first, Aline Hicks second and Patiann Baigent third.

as opposed to 17,000 in 2008. One scenario that is being floated by some is the possible relocation of the Tampa Bay franchise, which is having such a difficult time drawing fans, to Montreal. What’s really needed is Quebec investors with the financial clout to purchase the team and commit to a downtown stadium similar to the gems built in Baltimore, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and other MLB cities in recent years. Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore is the prototype for a boom in more functional and attractive baseball stadiums. A facility
such as that could pave the way for Montreal’s return to baseball. For me the ultimate in wonderful would be another AL team in Canada. That would immediately set the stage for a tremendous rivalry between the Blue Jays and the new “Expos.” With the 2016 MLB campaign now underway the baseball dream in Montreal is beginning to look like a possibility instead of a pipe dream.

The provincial ministry is reviewing the Police Services Act in response to calls for policing modernization. The act regulates the composition of police services boards. AMO has stated it is disappointed the elimination of municipal representatives is being considered as one of several board composition options. Municipal councils pay for policing services through property taxes, AMO maintains. These elected officials are accountable to their electorate so they should continue to be police services board representatives.

RCMP warns of new kidnapping scam
Submitted photo
It takes a village: The company of BarnDoor Productions’ Under Milk Wood bring the tiny Welsh village of Llareggub to life this week and next at Full Circle Theatre in Perth. Dylan Thomas’ last work is also, arguably, his greatest – and it’s an unforgettable piece of theatre as well.
Latest production at Full Circle Theatre highlights Dylan Thomas creation There may not be a full village of performers on the stage for BarnDoor Productions’ latest offering, Dylan Thomas’ Under Milk Wood, but the cast of 13 shift hats and characters so fast that you’ll think you’ve seen everyone in the tiny Welsh hamlet of Llareggub during the play’s 90-minute run time. There’s Cherry Owen, the butcher, who tells his wife he’s given her cat meat today and mole last Tuesday – and we’re not sure if he’s joking. There’s blind Captain Cat, the retired sailor, who lives a life between his memories and his imaginings. There’s Mr. Pugh who spends his days dreaming of ways to be rid of his wife – and Mrs. Pugh, who does the same about him. There’s Mog Edwards, hopelessly in love with Myfawnwy Price, who loves him back but they are separated by the distance of the village street. There’s Nogood Boyo, who would like to be Good Boyo, if anyone would give him the chance. There’s Dai Bread, the baker, who spends his nights with Mrs. Dai Bread One – and with Mrs. Dai Bread Two, as well. Most of all, and presiding over all, is the character of the town of Lllareggub itself,
small, stifling, compressed, not to say, repressed and bursting below the surface with passion and emotion. Dylan Thomas reached back into his childhood for many of the scenes and people for his fictional village, but they are so true to life that become instantly recognizable by anyone. Since its debut in 1953, Under Milk Wood, as a piece of poetry, has never been out of print and it’s safe to say that, as a piece of theatre, there’s hardly been a day where it has not been on the stage as well. With productions staged in almost every country in the world, Under Milk Wood has proven to be universal. Following in the footsteps of previous season closers, such as last year’s Death of a Salesman (BarnDoor Productions’ century production) and 2014’s God of Carnage, Under Milk Wood is a step away from the ordinary. It’s a show that challenges its performers from the beginning. There is no plot here, simply a description of the people and the town on “one spring day.” Performers move from character to character at the drop of a hat – often literally. There is music and dialogue, comedy and drama, the sublime and the mundane. And, all of it
is very much the stuff of exciting theatre and real entertainment. Under the skilled direction of BarnDoor Productions’ co-producing director Janice Jacklin, the company (because that’s what the show is all about) will take you on a funny, engrossing, whirlwind tour of one day in Dylan Thomas’ childhood, in the small fictional village where he grew up. It’s a show you’ll remember for a long time. Under Milk Wood is a very different type of theatrical event. It throws away the usual and grasps the unusual firmly – and makes its audience glad it did. Whatever else it may be, Under Milk Wood is a memorable evening at the theatre. Under Milk Wood runs April 15, 16, 21, 22, 23 at 8 p.m. and April 17 and 24 at 2 p.m. at the barrier-free Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig Street, Perth, near last Duel Park. Tickets are just $20 reserved; $22 at the door. Students are $10. To reserve, simply call 613-267-1884 or visit www.barndoorproductions.ca. No credit cards are required; cash at the performance is requested. Submitted by BarnDoor Productions
Members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Greater Toronto Area Financial Crime Unit would like to warn the public of an ongoing scam by imposters claiming to be Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) employees. [Formerly known as Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC)]. The following is a realistic portrayal of an IRCC scam that has been seen by RCMP investigators. This approach is one of many used by fraudsters. Please note that not every call is as dark and sinister as this one. Imagine a friend or relative has recently moved to Canada to seek refuge from a war torn country. The victim’s name is “Taunya” she is a widow, and lives with her five-year-old daughter in Ottawa, Ontario. Taunya works full time to support herself and her daughter. She also studies at a local community college. Just as she is about to climb into bed after working all night at her job, the phone rings...a call from the 647 (GTA) area code: IRCC Imposter: Hello this is Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada calling, I have bad news for you. Taunya: Sorry? Who is this? IRCC Imposter: This is Roger_______ (an Anglophone surname, which is confusing as it is contrasted by a strong ethnic accent) from Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada. Your status has changed and you must pay additional fees. Taunya: I don’t understand. IRCC Imposter: Please confirm your full name and address as well as those who live with you? Taunya: I don’t understand. I live alone with my five-yearold daughter. I live at 105 Main
Street. IRCC Imposter: Please provide your passport number? Taunya: CDN2015 IRCC Imposter: What do you do for a living? Taunya: I work full-time and study part-time. IRCC Imposter: You changed your status without advising Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada and as a result you must pay additional fees. You owe $12,000. Taunya: I don’t know how that could have happened. I can’t afford that. IRCC Imposter: (irritated by the amount of time that he has spent to get his point across, is now yelling into the phone) YOU WILL BE ARRESTED BY THE POLICE TODAY AND DEPORTED AND SEPARATED FROM YOUR CHILD, DO YOU WANT THAT TO HAPPEN? Taunya: Of course not! No! IRCC Imposter: Good, then you will go to the nearest Western Union or MoneyGram and you will follow my directions. Taunya: Does not make any sense! I am going to record this and call the police. IRCC Imposter: (yelling) DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR DAUGHTER IS NOW? Taunya: Pardon me? Is that a threat? IRCC Imposter: No, but your daughter will be kidnapped today (hangs up). Although Taunya was extremely disturbed by the phone call, she saw through the imposter’s ruse. And like many other fraudsters, the moment he was exposed, he ran. Fortunately, Taunya saw this for what it was...a scam. Unfortunately many new hard working Canadians are fooled and have lost money. What makes this worst is
that many victims never report these incidents to the police. If you, a friend or family member has either received a call from a fraudster, or has lost money through this type of call, please report it. Lastly, if you are reading this, please do your part in sharing this message with everyone and help us to educate new Canadians against this type of fraud. This is a fraud similar to the CRA scam. Both extort money from their victims through a number of different threats. Both of these frauds are being perpetrated coast to coast, and have impacted both male and female victims from many different age groups and cultural backgrounds. When you receive a suspect phone call from someone purporting to be the IRCC, CRA or other government agency please take the following steps: 1) If you have call display on your phone, note the number where the call came from. 2) Hang up. 3) Look up the “real” number for the agency in question. 4) Call the agency to confirm or refute your situation. 5) Report the fraudulent call. Report any fraud attempt or if you are a victim of fraud to your local police service as well as the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC).

Field naturalists host AGM, member’s night April 21 in Almonte Members and friends of the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) are invited to attend the organization’s 2016 Annual General Meeting. The meeting will take place beginning at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 21 at Almonte United Church, 106 Elgin Street, in Almonte. The meeting will be followed by discussion and refreshments, and two, sure to be engaging, “Wildlife Journals: Member’s Night” presentations. For the presentation “Encounters with Intriguing Owls,” Simon Lunn, biologist and nature photographer, will introduce us to several very different owls that he has encountered in recent years, both in his wooded backyard and special places within an hour’s drive of his home just south of Smiths Falls. Each of the owls has a unique story to tell. The second presentation will be “Loons and Human Interaction” by MVFN president and well-known bird expert and local naturalist, Cliff Bennett. The past year was a busy one for MVFN (a local member of the Ontario Nature Network serving Lanark County, West Carleton and areas), with significant growth in membership and interest. Highlights included a very suc-

cessful program schedule (led by committee chair Gretta Bradley) – a speaker series and many nature related outings, including an ever popular canoeing program
led by Linda McLaren, and new birding events held by the birding committee, chaired by Tim Pullen. Other highlights were the vigorous fund raising and education effort supporting a campaign to protect Burntlands Alvar, led by environmental issues committee (EIC) chair, Theresa Peluso; and formation of a new committee, conservation and habitat restoration, chaired by David Garcia. In an effort led by EIC member Tineke Kuiper, MVFN continues to work with the Municipality of Mississippi Mills on the recognition of Natural Heritage Areas and “wildlife corridors” in
the municipality. The popular Young Naturalists program at Mill of Kintail, continued to thrive under the guidance of instructor Patty McLaughlin (of the Wild Bird Care Centre) and co-ordination by Ron Williamson of MVFN’s environmental education committee chaired by Bob Smith. Also in 2015, the Cliff Bennett Nature Bursary committee (chaired by Mike Macpherson) awarded a $1,000 nature bursary to Almonte and District High School graduate Ruth Tamas.

Civitans help wherever the need arises - from collecting food for a homeless shelter, to volunteering at their local retirement home, to building a playground for children with disabilities. Civitans have been helping people since the organization’s founding in 1917, by a group of businessmen determined to making a difference in their community. In the 1950’s, Civitan adopted a special emphasis on helping people with developmental disabilities. Civitan was one of the major supporters of Special Olympics International, and thou-
sands of Civitans still support these local events. Civitan clubs also fund and organize special camps and events for people with developmental disabilities. The focus of this mission is the UAB Civitan International Research Center located on the campus of the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Made possible through an ongoing financial commitment from Civitan, this world-class research center is a center for groundbreaking research into disorders such as autism, Down syndrome, brain tumors, epilepsy, and many more.
Civitan in Canada is made up of two Districts Canadian District East and Canadian District West. Canadian District East Civitan - www.civitancanadiandistricteast.net CDE has 17 Civitan Clubs and 2 Junior Civitan Clubs with over 580 members We are very proud that 7 of our Civitan Clubs and 2 of our

Support LAWS during national Pet Adoption Weekend April 16 to 17 This week is volunteer appreciation week! The staff and all the furry paws at LAWS would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our wonderful, hardworking and dedicated volunteers. Whether you’re assisting in the shelter, help us raising funds outside the shelter or whichever way you help us at LAWS be sure it’s truly appreciated. It is only with the help of our committed volunteers that we can continue to give every paw a second chance. Our heartfelt thanks goes out to all of you. The national Pet Adoption Weekend is coming up this weekend. Meet Katie from Paws Oasis pet grooming in Perth at Pet Valu Perth during the international pet adoption weekend on Saturday, April 16 between 10 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Katie, a qualified and experienced nail trimmer and will give your cat or dog a nail trim for a fee of $10. Since all the proceeds will go to LAWS, only cash payment will be accepted for the nail trim service. The staff in the store will have some exciting games and savings going on in the store. Please come and have some fun, meet other cats and dogs and their owners while waiting for it to be your turn and play a game or two. Pet Valu Almonte will have a dog wash and nail trimming events for cats and dogs on Sunday, April 17 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Fees are $10 for each
service, cash payment only please. In both Pet Valu stores we will have adoptable cats on site who are looking for their forever homes. LAWS staff and volunteers will be there to answer your question. Please check your local stores to see what else is going on. Share in the fun, share in the giving to the local animals in need, make a difference in the life of a pet. Toonies to the Rescue The Perth Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), a group of local citizens committed to serving the welfare of animals, launched their first Toonies to the Rescue campaign at the end of February. This campaign is still ongoing until April 30. All funds raised will go to LAWS. The campaign is also sponsored by Perth Downtown Pharmasave. This unique fundraiser invites the public to pick up a “toonie container” at Perth Pharmasave on Foster Street, fill it with toonies and return it to the pharmacy. Should you wish, tax receipts can be issued by LAWS. Please continue to pick up and drop off your containers. If all of this newspaper’s readers would donate a toonie…Wow, that would help a lot a whole lot!

Community foundation donations for 2015 crack million dollar mark Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
With a doubling of endowments, and doubling down on messaging, Lynn McIntyre hopes that the Perth and District Community Foundation (PDCF) will no longer be the town’s best-kept secret. “We’ve heard that the PDCF was our ‘best kept secret,’” admitted McIntyre, the foundation’s executive director, during the group’s annual general meeting at The Stone Cellar restaurant on Thursday, April 7. “Well, that secret is out now.” McIntyre was appointed on April 6 of last year, and went straight to work to launch a strategic plan review. “We need to connect with people in order to do the things we need to do,” said McIntyre. “We need to make it (the process) even more seamless and open.” For the next two years, the foundation will focus on: * Building capacity; * Raising their profile; * Implementing a new granting strategy; and, * Growing the endowment fund. “A focus group of past grant recipients was held in the fall to seek input on the granting process, pressing issues and to discuss a needs assessment for our catchment area,” said McIntyre. The foundation, as a result of this feedback, would like to find ways to “make donating easier,” while also “looking to develop new sources of operating revenue and developing new community partnerships.” Last year, more than 250 donors and family funds donated more than $1 million to the foundation.

Representatives of the numerous community groups, from Interval House to The Table Community Food Centre, were on hand at the Perth and District Community Foundation’s annual general meeting at The Stone Cellar restaurant on Thursday, April 7, to thank the community for their continuing support. The foundation doled out $40,000 to various charities and causes throughout the area for this year. The last calendar year “proved to be a watershed year in the development and growth of our Community Foundation,” said president Deborah Duffy. “Assets under our management over the last year have reached over $2 million thanks to donations in 2015 totalling over $1 million.” She added that, since the foundation’s founding in 2002, it has granted more than $320,000 to the community, including $40,000 this year (details below). Community grants The foundation, as ever, made grants of $40,000 to support several initiatives and groups this coming year, including: * North Lanark Community

0% Financing O.A.C.
Health Centre for their community dinner program; * Easter Seals Camp Merrywood for their multi-sport program; * The Table Community Centre for their Tiny Taste program; * Lanark Highlands Youth Centre for their summer excursion program; * Lanark County Therapeutic Riding program to purchase a wheelchair accessible portable toilet; * Drummond/North Elmsley Township to convert an informal reuse centre and to train volunteers; * Open Doors for Children and Youth to provide a social media platform for mental health information for youth; * Perth Enrichment Program for
Older Adults to purchase equipment for the exercise program; * Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust to host YAK and Lanark Youth Centre clients on Blueberry Mountain nature hikes; * Lanark County Community Justice Program for a teacher/youth training program; * Perth Regional Heritage Fair; * Burning Passions Theatre to support their youth theatre training project; * Lanark County Interval House to conduct their “Where Is The Love?” seminars for high school students; * Alzheimer’s Society of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville for their “Meet me at the National Gallery” program;
and, * North Lanark Community Health Centre for their Heart Saver training program for four CPR/AED training sessions for as many as 60 volunteers. Meanwhile, YAK, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County and the Perth and District Union Public Library all received disbursements to support various programs, while the Algonquin College Foundation received their fifth pledge of a fiveyear contribution to support the Perth campus capital campaign. Student scholarships totalled $9,500 this year, which were given to students attending Perth and District Collegiate Institute, St. John Catholic High School, and the T.R. Leger alternative education school. Additional bursaries of $2,400 are scheduled to be awarded to students at Algonquin College’s Perth campus from the PDCF’s Lily Roy Fund and the PDCFTown of Perth Fund at the Algonquin College Foundation. An event such as a community foundation’s annual general meeting comes with a certain degree of business-like decorum and sobriety. Thankfully, Howard Allen, the foundation’s auditor, was on hand to provide a moment’s respite with some topical levity. “When the Panama Papers came out, we did look for your name Lynn (McIntyre), where all the money had gone,” Allen joked. “We found it. It was where it was supposed to be,” namely, in Perth. Joking aside, Allen said he found no discrepancies with the foundation’s books, and reported that “we are well poised to make things grow.”

• Dog waste has been listed as an environmental pollutant by the US EPA since 1991 • A single gram of dog waste can contain 23 million fecal coliform bacteria, which is a much higher concentration than in the feces of humans and most other mammals. These bacteria are known to cause cramps, diarrhea, intestinal illness and serious kidney disorders in humans. • Dog feces are one of the most common carriers of the following diseases: • Whipworms • Hookworms • Roundworms • Tapeworms • Ringworm • Parvovirus • Coronavirus • Giardiasis • Salmonellosis • Campylobacteriosis • The eggs of some of the parasites listed above can linger in soil for years. Anyone who comes into contact with that soil by gardening, playing sports, walking barefoot or other means - risks coming into contact with those eggs; especially your dog. • Infections from the viruses and bacteria can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, vomiting and diarrhea in humans. Children are most susceptible, since they often play on the grass and in the dirt and put things in their mouth, nose or eyes. • Dog waste can be harmful to lawns, causing burns and unsightly discoloring. • Dog feces can be a significant contributor to water contamination. Studies have found that in recreational waterways, lakes and rivers near urban areas upwards of 20 to 30% of the bacteria contaminating the water can be traced to dog poop. • Dog feces, decaying in waterways, adds nutrients for weeds and algae. As these organisms thrive, they limit the amount of light that can penetrate the water’s surface, oxygen levels decrease and fish and other aquatic animals are impacted. If you care for the health of other people; if you care about the health of our recreational waterways; if you care about the health of your pet and other animals; then do the right thing and Poop and Scoop. For those who choose not to care for their community and to not clean up after their pet, please note that under the Animal Control By-law for the Town of Perth those with care and control of an animal who fail to remove bio-waste (more commonly known as poop) from either public or private property, face a set fine of $75.00 for each violation. To protect the community and the environment, more active enforcement of this By-law should be expected.

REFUGEES
From FRONT page
Now, however, “things are moving so much slower.” The two families that the CARR is looking to bring to the area are through “family reunifications.” The first CARR family wants to reunite the mother, Kaffa, with her sister and her family, who are still in Lebanon. As for the third CARR family, they have identified a family that is still in Turkey. Munroe was speaking at the annual general meeting of the Perth and District Community Foundation, held at The Stone Cellar restaurant on Thursday, April 7. The CARR is now working with the Merrickville-based group Bridge to Canada, and “they are following our model and are linked up with the Community Foundation of Ottawa,” she said, just as the Perth foundation laid the groundwork for the CARR’s existence. Update For CARR member John Shideler, the family has “just blown us away with their enthusiasm, and, frankly, their risk-taking. They have been out on a limb and tried to be a part of our community. We try to keep pace with them.” Integrating into Canadian life has not been without its challenges. But, for Shideler, it is more the unexpected that has proven to be difficult than what they had expected would consume the committee’s time and energy. “OHIP cards, that was the easy part,” he joked. While the two youngest girls, aged six
and four, are now at school, they have already taken part in – and tasted – Canadian life, including that most Lanark County of traditions, a visit to a sugar bush. They have also taken in a piano recital, and the father, Ahmed, travels to Brockville three times a week for ESL (English as a Second Language) training. The family is already looking at summer camp options for their two eldest children, like soccer camp. Kaffa has also taken the first steps towards becoming a regular Canadian woman. Literally, first steps. When she first arrived, “she had not been unescorted in the community. Ever,” said Shideler. “That’s going to change,” her husband told her. “No, no, that’s not going to happen,” she insisted. On this point, however, her husband was right. “She is now walking from her home to the library with her baby,” said Shideler. While the family is improving their English, Shideler noted that “the family really lights up when someone says something to them in Arabic.” In fact, we have included a list of some useful Arabic phrases with this article to help you out if you see Ahmed, Kaffa and the kids. At the end of the meeting, the Classic Theatre Festival offered free tickets to the family for this summer’s plays. “We are very, very grateful to this community,” said Munroe. “It is overwhelming.” She had special thanks for the foundation, whom she said, “sowed the seed,” from which the CARR evolved.

Fillipoff drugs case Festival of the Maples celebrates 40th anniversary adjourned aweek Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
Desmond Devoy and Ashley Kulp desmond.devoy@metroland.com
The drug charge case against Shelley Fillipoff was briefly before the Smiths Falls court this week, before being quickly deferred to next week in Perth. Carleton Place-based lawyer Craig Rogers, acting for Fillipoff’s lawyer, Trevor Brown, asked the judge at the Ontario Court of Justice in Smiths Falls on Chambers Street on Monday, April 11, to hold the case over until this coming Monday, April 18. The case will now be heard this coming Monday morning, at the Ontario Court of Justice in Perth on Drummond Street. Filipoff, 58, a resident of Lanark Highlands Township, was not present in the courtroom as her case made its first appearance before a judge in the weeks after her arrest on Thursday, March 3. She had been held in custody and released on a recognizance to appear in court this past Monday. She faces five charges, which have not been proven in court, which include: 1. Adult laundering of the proceeds of crime. 2. Adult possession of a Schedule I substance for the purpose of trafficking – cocaine. 3. Adult possession of a Schedule II substance – Cannabis Marijuana – over 30 grams. 4. Adult unauthorized possession of a prohibited or restricted firearm. 5. Adult unauthorized possession of a firearm. Fillipoff is best known in the area for her ongoing search for her missing daughter Emma, who was last seen alive in British Columbia.
There’s no mid-life crisis for the Festival of the Maples as Perth’s annual passage into spring hits its 40th year on April 30. While the festival may not be buying a new sports car or dying its hair, it will be boasting a new logo, of “an updated bucket,” joked co-organizer Brian Perkin, from the Perth and District Chamber of Commerce office at Inge-Va House on Thursday, April 7. His wife and co-organizer Jennifer Perkin is seated beside him. “We didn’t really have a firm logo before,” said Brian. The Tay Basin will be the place to be once more for families, with a children’s play park, opening at 10 a.m., complete with a “mighty machines” area, featuring police cars and Hydro One vehicles, to even tree removal equipment and, it is hoped, military vehicles. There will also be a bouncy castle and a climbing wall. At the Crystal Palace, there are more children’s activities inside, and the seven-piece Nepean Panharmonic Steel Band will be bringing the sounds of the Caribbean island nation of Trinidad and Tobago, from 12:30 to

On the stretch of Herriott Street to Wilson, weather permitting, there will be a classic car show, which drew a “bumper crop,” last year, according to Jennifer. The couple reminds those using their vehicles to get to the area to consider parking at the college, where Martin Bus Lines will offer free shuttles from 6 Craig St. to the intersection of Craig and Gore.

He noted that, “with the this year’s perfect saprunning weather, “we are guaranteed to have plenty of maple syrup!” He added that, in talking with the festival committee, “as of right now, it looks like we may have a complete sell-out of vendor spaces.”

Ontario has ‘dropped ball’ on e-health records, now a national ‘laggard’ desmond.devoy@metroland.com
When it comes to e-health records, Ontario is lagging behind other provinces – including tiny Prince Edward Island. “Ontario should be front and centre,” said Gary Dickson, Saskatchewan’s first Information and Privacy Commissioner, during the Probus Club of Perth’s monthly meeting at the Perth Royal Canadian Legion hall on Wednesday, April 6. In his native Alberta, “you can go in (to the computer), and electrically see all your health information.” The system, he said, is already “up and running,” while, next door, in Saskatchewan, a similar system is nearing completion. He attended a conference recently where most of the provinces were represented, including Ontario – though the Ontario delegation had little to add to the discussion. “The people from Ontario had so little to say about building electronic health records,” he said. “It was all being done in other jurisdictions.” He only read about Ontario’s e-health records scandal from media reports in the Saskatchewan newspapers, but from what he has observed since moving to Ontario – and as a former politician, he knows the file has now become toxic at Queen’s Park. “It became like an electrified rail that no one wanted to touch. It hasn’t been a popular file.” Of all of the provincial and territorial jurisdictions, “Ontario is just about at the bottom of the list” on this file. “The ball has been dropped.” Interestingly, he is on the board of directors of the Country Roads Community Health Centre in Portland, and they are interested in utilizing some type of electronic health records system. Dickson, a former lawyer, began his career in government when he was elected as a Liberal MLA for the riding of Calgary-Buffalo in a 1992 by-election, a position he held until his retirement in 2001. Two years later, he took up his new role in next-door Saskatchewan, a job he held until 2014. In the last two decades, he has seen how patients’ medical files have gone from being part of a vast wall of paperwork to, it is hoped, more seamless electronic files. “Cast your minds back to 1997,” said Dickson. “Imagine, your health records would have been scattered and they would have been in hard copy.” Your doctor would have had a copy at his or her office. Any hospital you had ever visited as a patient would have documentation on your stay. Ditto any trip to a walk-in clinic. “If you wanted to see any of your records in 1997, my advice would be, ‘Good luck,’” said Dickson. You would have had to request each record from each individual organization, and you may have even had to go to court, “to have your records turned over to you.” The legislation dealing with such records was, at the time, in his words, “a genuine dog’s breakfast.” That year however, a royal commission on health information presented its findings. Justice Horace Krever brought forward more than 170 recommendations, but one of the standout suggestions was that there be a single, stand-alone health information statute. “Paper records have always been a problem,” said Dickson. “Consider the thousands and thousands of physicians that are retiring,” and the thousands, maybe millions, of pages of doc-

Gary Dickson, Saskatchewan’s first Information and Privacy Commissioner, speaks to members after his speech to the Probus Club on April 6. uments they have accumulated over the years. “They don’t always take as much care as they should.” In 2011, his office was alerted to a security breach that would later become known as “the largest data breach in Saskatchewan history, at the time.” He received a phone call late in the day, telling him that “you may want to go to the shopping centre in south Regina. There may be medical records dumped there.” Dickson and his investigators headed over and found more than 2,700 patient files out for the trash. They included files belonging to prominent citizens, like judges and community leaders. “The doctor simply lost track” of the files, he said, and the files were left, unsealed, in the mall’s basement for years. The year before, the mall had held a house of horrors, the “House of Doctor Blade,” where patrons paid money to wander through the warren of boxes, and be scared by people in costume hiding behind them. Dickson surmised that “an efficient caretaker” likely decided to clear up some space and got rid of the boxes. The case garnered “so much notoriety” out west, that he joked that “we think Staples was running out of shredding machines.” (He said later that “privacy does not end when you do,” and that your records are covered for privacy reasons for 30 years after your death, so, for example, health records from 1986 would only become unsealed this year.) There are several core principles involved in the privacy of patient information. Firstly, information cannot be collected without a patient’s consent. Secondly, the patient needs to give his or her consent for information to be shared. Thirdly, the patient needs to be able to have access to see their information, and to be able to correct what they deem to be inaccurate information contained within. Fourthly, they must also have recourse to an information privacy commission, to iron out any disputes. Doctors’ offices, hospitals and other health facilities should have posters and/or brochures pointing these out. However, “like all privacy laws, the Personal Health Information Protection Act (2004), has a common sense safety valve,” said Dickson. He came across a rather interesting, and somewhat scary, example during his time in Saskatchewan.
He received a phone call from a harried nurse in the province’s remote north. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police were looking for three men, considered to be armed and dangerous. One of the men was reportedly injured, and the Mounties phoned the health clinic nearest to where they believed the suspects were hiding. “If you hear or see from these people, contact us immediately,” the Mounties told the nurse. But she had concerns. Surely, “that would be a breach of privacy?” she asked Dickson. But Dickson sided with the RCMP. “You need to protect yourself,” as well as other patients and staff. “Of course you phone the police.” While an abundance of caution is necessary – desired even – “nobody wants to screw up,” he said, which has lead to what he called “privacy paralysis.” People have taken privacy legislation to be interpreted as “shutting down and saying no.” It’s not uncommon to hear, say, a bureaucrat say, “Well, my hands are tied,” because of privacy legislation, he said. Well, “that’s rubbish. They do not have a sufficient understanding of the law.” The original idea was to have “a single, massive database,” for all of our respective health records. The reality looks somewhat different, with prescription information, for example, going in one area, diagnostic imaging in another, clinical notes here, hospital records there, and
so on. “At some point, we will be rid of those paper records,” he said. There are drawbacks however to this brave new, virtual world. “We’ve lost the physical gate keeper,” said Dickson. “Firewalls, they tend to be expensive.” While your doctor or his secretary may be the only people to ever handle your file at their office, with electronic records, thousands of medical professionals could access. The hope is that only those involved in your case would access your e-files, but, that’s not always the case, as he has seen “an epidemic of snooping.” The late Toronto Mayor Rob Ford had his files accessed while he was fighting cancer, “even though they have nothing to do with his case.” In another egregious Ontario example, it was discovered that nurses were collecting information on newborns and selling them to registered education savings companies. One Probus Club member complained that she was unable to access her records from Quebec, where she lived for more than 30 years. Quebec, like Ontario, are “laggards in e-health records,” said Dickson. “Even Prince Edward Island has fully-functioning health record systems. “We’re quite a long way from full, cross-border cooperation.”

Major Grodzinski is guest speaker at historical society meeting on April 21 The Perth and District Historical Society’s meeting of April 21, 2016, will take a look at the conversion of the soldiers of the War of 1812 into settlers of the land and territory which they had just defended for the Crown. For this, we welcome back Major John Grodzinski who will preface his presentation with the following proclamation: The Gracious Offer of Tracts of Land in His Majesty’s North American Possessions: Military Settlement Following the War of 1812 The defence of Upper and Lower Canada and the Maritime Provinces of British North America witnessed the expansion of the garrison to nearly 50,000 British regular soldiers. They were supported by thousands of men belonging to provincial and embodied units raised in the Canadas and Maritime Provinces, that moved about the colonies in response to the military situation. The presence of a large number of these men in Upper Canada in 1815 led British officials to propose the resettlement of soldiers from disbanded units in the province. Major John R. Grodzinski will examine the origins of military resettlement in British North America, and its conduct in south eastern Upper Canada following the Anglo-American War of 1812. Dr. John R. Grodzinski is an assistant professor and acting head of the Department of History at the Royal Military College of Canada in Kingston, Ontario. He has books on the War of 1812 – 1814, including The 104th (New Brunswick) Regiment of Foot in the War of 1812 (Goose Lane, 2014), and Defender of Canada: Sir George Prevost and the War of 1812 (University of Oklahoma Press, 2013).
Grodzinski appeared in the PBS documentary on the War of 1812 (2011), four episodes of Canada 1812: Forged in Fire (2012), an episode of Finding the Fallen: Trench Detectives (2008). He has also been a commentator on the War of 1812 for the Discovery Channel and CBC Radio. He has addressed historical and living history groups throughout Canada, in the United States, and the United Kingdom, and has organized and led over 80 battlefield studies to sites from the Seven Years’ War, the American War of Independence, the War of 1812, and military fortifications in Canada. We are pleased to be continuing our anniversary year partnership with the Perth Legion, Lake 88 and Maximilian’s Dining Lounge. This month’s meeting will have another free draw for a $25 gift certificate, courtesy of Maximilian’s, for those attending the meeting. We also appreciate the continuing support of this paper. The Perth and District Historical Society is dedicated to learning about and popularising our history. It is a forum for discussion and celebration of our area’s rich culture and heritage. The meetings are open to the public, on the third Thursday of each month, at 7:30 pm at the Royal Canadian Legion, Perth-Upon-Tay, Branch 244, home of the Hall of Remembrance, at 26 Beckwith St. E. in Perth.

So nice I cook it twice…
t’s always good to have a Plan B. Mine might be to open a fudge shop. A couple of weeks ago I wrote about some of the culinary challenges I face in the abode and mentioned some recent successes with maple syrup – one being maple fudge. I’ve been baking since I was a kid, but fudge never made it onto my roster. My Nan used to make vanilla fudge, and although I picked up a bunch of her recipes, that wasn’t one of them. Fudge always looked too complicated. There seemed to be a lot of math and nitpickiness. My bestie, though, makes a yummy vanilla fudge in the microwave. Hmm. Another friend gave me a jar of delicious maple syrup, so I was inspired to find a maple fudge recipe. My American cookbooks were unhelpful. You can call it “maple” fudge, but if you’re using corn syrup or just brown sugar, it’s not gonna cut it here in Lanark County, the Maple Syrup Capital of Ontario. My Canadian cookbooks were better, but most recipes seemed skimpy on the maple syrup. A quarter cup? Really? I also have several wonderful local cookbooks, but sometimes the recipes are written by wise women who, like my grandmothers, would say things like “cook until done” or “stir until it’s the right texture.” For a rookie fudge-maker, I wasn’t quite ready to go by feel. It took years before I truly understood how my Grandmom’s shortbread should feel so I would know when to stop kneading. So I hit the Fantabulous Interwebs, where you can find anything – complete with reviews. I finally stumbled upon a recipe for maple cream fudge that sounded yummy and included a respectable amount of instruction. The major selling point came at the end of the recipe, where it provided the option of replacing some of the sugar and cream with sweetened condensed milk and bumped the maple syrup content from a quarter cup to a whole cup. Sold! Next came the learning part because this was an old-school recipe – no microwave. That appeals to me, though. I’m not one for fancy choppers and mixers; I find it therapeutic to chop by hand and stir “until it’s done” – as long as I understand what that means. Not having a grandmother standing beside me for fudge instruction was a bit daunting. This brings me to that whole “soft ball stage” thing…which is a pretty

important part of the process if you don’t have a candy thermometer, which I don’t (see “fudge always looked too complicated,” above). Nevertheless, I was determined to kick it old school and face the challenge. There was no way I was going to risk wasting that precious maple syrup. So. Heat the ingredients to a rolling boil and cook it until it reaches around 234 degrees F or – if you lack a candy thermometer – until some of the mixture poured into cold water forms a soft ball. On your mark, get set, go! Next comes the cooling and stirring. And stirring. And stirring. You stir (a wooden spoon is recommended) until the mixture thickens and starts to lose its gloss, then transfer it to a pan and let it set for a few hours. OK. Done. Or is it? Nope. The fudge didn’t set. It was more like toffee. Hmmm. I happen to know the Fantabulous Interwebs responds well to searches about “rescuing fudge that hasn’t set.” Also, there is this marvellous thing called YouTube that has brilliant videos demonstrating exactly what the soft ball stage and the end-of-the-stirring should look like. It’s kind of like having a grandmother in the kitchen. (Probably should have watched those first.) The fudge was cooked, soft-balled and stirred a second time. It set beautifully and tasted awesome. No maple syrup was wasted. I made a second batch, and because I am a slow learner, it also involved a redo. As the finished product melted in my mouth, though, I wondered if I was on to something with the double cooking thing. My third attempt was chocolate. Different ingredients, but the same inability to cook it right the first time. It also scalded a bit, resulting in an underlying essence of s’mores-made-with-burntmarshmallows. I’m calling it Campfire Fudge. I’m hoping it will be a limited edition. I am determined to figure this out, if only to avoid getting another blister from stirring fudge twice. (Unless that’s the trade secret, of course.)

Getting to the heart of important stuff
G
irls talk about everything. At least they do in my life. Such was the case recently when Mom and I visited my brother and his wife, and my wee niece. Brother had gone out for a bit, so it gave the girls some time to catch up… you know, on important stuff – death, sports and wild game. Knowing your parent’s business comes with the territory of being an adult child. You worry about everything…. how late she stays out on the weekend, where she is when I can’t reach her on the phone, etc. I guess this is a little role reversal coming back to haunt me. I am sure I gave my parents enough to worry about growing up, now it’s my mother’s turn. Such was the case when she recently had surgery. I know he didn’t say it out loud, but my brother was just as worried as I was about how it would turn out – especially when she was hospitalized for longer than normal for a procedure to remove a useless gallbladder. Turns out there was some other (minor) stuff going on that required her to have a second and third procedure done while under the knife – but at two different hospitals.
LAURIE WEIR Weir View Naturally (or not), I’m thinking about her demise. I have no clue where any of her paper work is, or where I would even start. Danielle shared a similar story and that got us talking about being prepared for the inevitable – like knowing if there is life insurance to cover the cost of a funeral, who the power of attorney is, and even the final wishes of the parent. Good Lord. There is never a good time to have this conversation, but at least now I know Mom’s wishes and how to go about getting it done. Not that I want to punch her ticket to heaven or anything, but as they say, a good Girl Scout is always prepared. Knowing the cost of funeral preparations is also a good thing to sort through before you are faced with a death. I have heard horror stories – from my sister-in-law and from others – about the cost of such arrangements being so out of proportion to the ac-

tual services offered. It’s good to have a talk with a funeral director to know exactly what you are getting. Then there are no $25,000 surprises for your loved ones to worry about during their time of grief. It’s also a good time to talk about life insurance, to ensure expenses are covered. Having that talk with your spouse is always enlightening, especially when he doesn’t want to be cremated, but tossed into the river in a body bag. Um, I’m sorry dear, but I am not exactly sure how that will work. I told him he will never know if he’s cremated or not, and he can hang out on my mantle until I’m ready to go – if I had a mantle – then my nieces can bury us. Same goes if I go before him. He rolled his eyes. Ah, such conversations… So my five-year-old niece, who will be six in June and is going on 27, recently completed her first season of hockey. She was so into it that she even cut her lengthy locks to accommodate her helmet. Now, cuter than ever, she sports a shorter version of

LE T TERS TO THE EDITOR
Downtown Perth presents confusing messages DEAR EDITOR,
OK Perth. Enough with the mixed messages. After 18 years of owning a business in downtown Perth, my mind is more boggled than ever. It started with the ‘Porn Harms’ banner, quickly followed by the SEXAPALOOZA billboard proclaiming “Meet Ron Jeremy!” (Don’t Google that one kids!) Then I read in the newspaper that we need signs to stop “sidewalk racers” - those evil cyclists
and skateboarders who are apparently wreaking havoc on downtown sidewalks. (Perhaps they come off the three-block bike lane, hit the parking spaces, and don’t know where to go?) This was proclaimed a mere two pages before an announcement that there will be a bicycle rental shop opening in the former Perth Courier building. I wonder; Will the town place a sign there to “scare cyclists straight” and “tell people they are in the wrong”?
With all the squealing tires and heavy acceleration I hear on the corner of Gore and Foster, it’s no wonder people don’t ride on the street - you can hardly even cross it safely. Better ticket those teenagers getting some exercise, those “less respectful” citizens! The other current issue that baffles me is the pedestrian crosswalk. Oh, excuse me, I mean the “If the driver acknowledges ‘the pedestrian crosswalk’ crosswalk”. Drivers are not required to stop, but pedestrians assume
they are. If ever there was a liability issue waiting to happen downtown, my bet would be on the crosswalk, not the bicycles and skateboards. So while I’m deciding if porn harms, or if I should go meet a real live porn star, I will refrain from strolling downtown Perth to clear my mind. It’s just too dangerous - mentally and physically.

how of it all. “Well, because this end is heavier and made from material that doesn’t float, and this end, (pointing to a plastic bottle) will float because it’s light.” Genius. I failed science – or close to it. The only thing I remember from Mr. Chahal’s class was the meaning of “apparent loss of weight.” I can still hear him reciting that from the front of the classroom. “A body, when immersed in water, appears to lose weight. The amount of water it displaces is its apparent loss of weight.” Something did stick. Then, Sophie tells me about her time with

You ate a squirrel?” I asked her, not quite believing what I had just heard. “Yes, but there was no hair on it,” she stated, seriously, as if to say, come on, Aunt Laur, would you eat a squirrel with hair?

St. John gears up for Relay for Life with rally on April 20 Michael Miller
St. John Catholic High School (SJCHS) continues its history of being a strong purveyor in the fight against cancer. The 15th annual Relay for Life rally is slated to kick off at 9 a.m., April 20 in the gymnasium at the Perth high school. SJCHS retains the title of having hosted the most Relay for Life events of any school in Ontario. “We use the event to kick off our fundraising season and remind students of the purpose of Relay,” said Dave Peters, lead coordinator for the event. “It’s a celebration of talents, with singers, speakers and inspiring videos.” The main purpose of the rally is to drum up support to raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society. As an extension, the rally is used to reach out to survivors to attend, those who have stared down cancer and stopped it in its tracks. “We would like to invite all members of the community to attend the event, in particular those who have been affected by cancer,” said Peters.
Setting personal goals of a minimal $100, participants raise funds in teams of 10 to 15 members. SJCHS has raised a staggering $625,310.92 during their 14-year run, with an average 70 per cent of the student population participating. “The whole event is an amazing thing,” said Marshall Norwood, former Relay for Life committee member at SJCHS. “Seeing other families who have overcome cancer and talking with them and seeing everyone who cares, I saw firsthand what the money and support of Relay can do.” More than 230 learning institutions in Ontario have taken part in this 12-hour, overnight event. Funds raised for the Canadian Cancer Society have amounted to $496.5 million since Relay for Life’s inaugural year in 1999. “It’s a lot of work for everyone involved but once the total amount is read to the members at 7 a.m., it’s an unmatchable feeling of accomplishment,” said Nick Strong, co-chairman of the 2012 event at SJCHS. Relay for Life will take place at the high school on May 27 with all interested community members invited to take part.

Mudds bring Peter Pan to Carleton Place Town Hall April 22 to 30 Tick tock, tick tock…that tell tale sound announces the arrival of the storied crocodile. Captain Hook begins to quake. Tick tock, tick tock. Remember the excitement you experienced the first time you were read the story of Peter Pan, or the first time you saw the Disney version? A story laced with magic, excitement and danger; foes and friends who live in a land “just beyond the stars. Close your eyes and imagine. Close them tight and pretend.” Could you ever look at a star-studded night sky the same again? The Mississippi Mudds offers you another chance to experience it all once more, along with your children and their friends. The sets have been built, the lights are set, the sounds and special effects are cued up and all the props are on hand to create the illusions that are live theatre. The cast under guidance of directors Jeff Lee and Adam Reid are ready to tell you again that story first written by J.M. Barrie. You will meet Peter and the band of lost boys who did not want to grow up, Tinkerbell their magical friend, Tiger Lily and her fierce band of braves, the evil Captain Hook, his first mate Smee and their motley crew of wicked pirates, the enchanting mermaids on the rocks, and of course Wendy and the rest of the Darling family with their dog Nana. They have all rehearsed their lines, choreographed the battles and learned how best to present the haunting and effective songs written for this version by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe. Last-minute touches to costumes are being completed as this goes to press. As soon as casting was complete the Director explained his vision to team leads Jan Hopkins and Judith Scott. And the work began. Some items for the Londoner scenes are on loan from Orpheus Musical Theatre, taken from their Victorian collection gathered when they put on Titanic a year or so ago. But Mudds wardrobe volunteers created all the key

Getting a tax refund? Spend it or not? Manage Your Money
If you are claiming a tax refund this year, your next decision is what you should do with it. Sure, you could spend it — but then it’s gone. Here are six alternatives with longer term benefits for your financial future.

1. Immediately use your refund to make up your 2016 Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) contribution and you’ll get the benefit of nearly an extra year of potential long-term tax-deferred growth plus a tax deduction against your 2016 income.

Above left, she not only plays the storied crocodile, but also Nana the dog, inset above. costumes. Ann Price and Nancy Code-Miller who between them bring to the task many years of costume and tailoring experience, ably assisted Scott and Hopkins on this project. Special mention goes to Christy Bindhardt and her daughter Katey Best who created the head for Nana the dog and the head and tail for the crocodile. Both these specialized costumes involved skilled work carving foam and applying the facial features to bring out the essential personality. Young Izzy Hart plays both the crocodile and the dog Nana.

Likewise and in complete contrast her portrayal of the bossy but loveable Nana, fussing around Michael, John and Wendy is a joy.

5. Pay down costly, high-interest credit debt and then pay down non-deductible debt such as your mortgage — a single prepayment could potentially save hundreds, even thousands of dollars in interest payments.
2. Contribute to investments held in a Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA). Your TFSA contribution room was increased by $5,500 as of January 1, 2016. Your contributions are not tax-deductible but you will not be taxed on the income generated by the investments in your TFSA, you can make tax-free withdrawals for any purpose at any time, and you can re-contribute any of those withdrawals in a future year. 3. Invest it. If your RRSP and TFSA are topped up, consider adding your refund to your non-registered investments. A tax-efficient strategy is to hold stocks and equity based mutual funds outside a RRSP or TFSA because these types of investments are taxed using a more favourable capital gain income inclusion rate plus dividends from many Canadian corporations are eligible for the dividend tax credit. 4. Pay for your kids’ education. Set up Registered Education Savings Plans (RESPs) to fund their future education costs. Contributions to investments within a RESP are not tax-deductible but their growth is tax-deferred and they may qualify for Canadian Education Savings Grants (CESG)1 of up to 20% of your contribution for the
Invest in life. Contact us for more information.
6. If your refund is large, consider parking that cash in a short-term investment that you can access without penalty. That way, you’ll have a ready source of money for a rainy day or a larger purchase — a new car? — without having to borrow or use credit. (A TFSA is also a good rainy day fund.) Tax refunds are nice ... but not as nice as enhancing your personal long term financial growth. Talk to your professional advisor about a comprehensive tax-reducing financial plan that will help make it possible for you to achieve all your financial and life goals. 1

It’s important to give vehicles a good spring cleaning after long winter While our recent winter storms and cold temperatures might not have made it clear, spring is here and with it comes a great opportunity to restore our vehicles to a clean condition (like winter never happened). A major car cleaning or detailing is one of the few things we can still do to our highly technical automotive marvels by ourselves. While there are debates on whether to clean the inside of your car before or after the outside, I’d go outside first. Dragging a vacuum hose or yourself in and out of any vehicle with a dirty exterior is bound to bring grime and grit to your work. While pressure washers can make quick work on any auto clean up, they’re not absolutely needed. Before touching any painted surface with a wash mitt, make sure the panel is thoroughly rinsed to avoid scratching. Never use household detergents such as dish soap to wash a vehicle. They can ruin a shine faster than a sandstorm. Stick with a product specifically designed for auto exterior washing. It’s always best to work in the shade if pos-

sible to prevent water or soap spotting and wash and rinse one panel at a time to minimize this. Get low with the hose and give the undercarriage a thorough blast to get as much old road grime and salt out as possible. If you use a wash mitt or rag to clean out wheel wells, don’t use it on the paint and use a separate bucket for this to avoid getting grit on the body’s exterior. Don’t forget to wipe down the doorjambs to make for a professional looking finish. Finishing off a complete exterior wash with a liquid wax is a great way to reduce the number of times you have to wash your vehicle as this will keep a lot of dirt from sticking in the first place. Go with a trusted brand such as Turtle or Meguiars and stay away from tinted or coloured wax unless you want your ride to look like a 60-something with a bad toupee or dye job. When tackling the interior start with the highest points first and work down to avoid having dirt run onto already cleaned areas. On plastics such as dash tops and door panels use a multi-surface

cleaner that’s safe for these materials. A microfibre cloth is a good way to avoid wasting a lot of paper towels and can let you get into nooks and crannies. For HVAC vents and other small areas a soft bristled toothbrush works well. Never put any type of shine treatment on the top of a dash, as it will create a very distracting glare when driving in sunlight. If your vehicle has a cabin air filter (and many do), now’s the time to check to see if it needs replacement. Any light grit or dust can be vacuumed away but these filters usually cost less than $20 on average. If you find a lot of leaves or debris on your cabin filter, use your vacuum to clean out the area in the HVAC housing
where it resides. For fabric seat upholstery use an appropriate stain remover and a soft bristled hand brush. If you drive a mini-van with removable seats, you’ll find it much easier to work on them (and the floor carpeting) with them taken out. On floor carpets you’ll often need a stiffer brush to tackle salt stains. When vacuuming floor carpets use the hose with a hard tube-type upholstery attachment to get into tight areas. Slapping this attachment down lightly on the carpet will pop sand and grit to the top of the pile where it can get sucked up. For stubborn salt stains, the Salt Eraser from the Canadian company Dryshine is a great product to avoid using lots of moisture to clean things up. It’s available in 16 oz spray cans from Canadian Tire and will also remove coffee, chocolate, grease stains and more. As most vehicles contain wiring and other electrical components under the carpet, avoiding getting these areas wet is a good idea. While you can easily create a good

In partnership with
McCarthy soars again playing familiar movie character MOVIE: The Boss STARRING: Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Bell, Ella Anderson, Tyler Labine and Peter Dinklage DIRECTOR: Ben Falcone RATING: 14A The Boss is the same movie with the same character that Melissa McCarthy always falls back on. I know it. She knows it. You know it. While this may be another variation on a theme for McCarthy she does do it well. This time around McCarthy is playing the 47th richest woman in America, Michelle Darnell. Investor, deal maker, power broker, and motivational speaker, Michelle does it all, and Claire (Kristen Bell), her personal assistant, makes sure Michelle shows up to do it. It’s a thankless job, but at least the pay is lousy. Then Michelle gets busted for insider trading thanks to a spurned former lover turned nemesis, Renault (Peter Dinklage). After three months in jail Michelle comes out with nothing. Renault has taken it all, and Michelle finds herself
with no one to turn to. No one but Claire that is. Claire and her daughter Rachel (Ella Anderson) take Michelle in. Sure the three of them living in a small apartment offers some laughs, but it’s nothing compared to what happens when Michelle takes Rachel to her Dandelion meeting. The Dandelions are like the Girl Scouts, and it’s there Michelle gets inspiration. She sees how much money they make selling cookies and realizes she could make a lot of money by starting her own troop. Darnell’s Darlings are born, and the real comedy begins. I wasn’t expecting much walking into The Boss. I’ve seen McCarthy do one version or another of this character in every other film she’s made. Occasionally she surprises me with a St. Vincent, but for the most part it’s the same outrageous character who says whatever comes into her head regardless of what anyone thinks. Then, as Michelle, she starts ripping into this person and spouting off about that topic, and my jaw drops. That’s how funny
droppingly funny as McCarthy. There’s a good reason why Mellissa McCarthy does this character over and over again.
She’s good at it. Her timing, again, and I’ll probably end up her delivery and her come- laughing just as hard. dic instincts are supernatural. Mark Haskins’ column is a She’s going to do this character regular feature.
My Take
MARK HASKINS
she is. She is jaw droppingly funny. There’s no filter. There’s no sense of appropriateness. There’s just her as Michelle saying whatever she wants. I love McCarthy but I was surprised by some of the other talented faces in the supporting cast. I’m not talking about Kristen Bell who beautifully plays yin to McCarthy’s yang. She’s a brilliant star outshone by no one, but there are other faces like, Kristen Schaal, Cecily Strong, Timothy Simmons, and Annie Mumolo who are laugh-out-loud funny. Not to mention the young faces of Eva Peterson, Presley Coley, and Ella Anderson who have no trouble playing with the adults. Then there’s Tyler Labine and Peter Dinklage. If you don’t know Tyler Labine get to know him because he’s a comedic genius, and Dinklage is just as jaw

It is really a malicious attempt to collect customer information for the purpose of committing identity theft and fraud. “Criminals prey on some of society’s most vulnerable people and our business systems that are built on trust. To prevent further harm and victimization, we all need to do what we can to make the unsuspecting public aware of the damaging financial impacts phishing and identity theft can have on victims,� stated Deputy Commissioner Don Bell, OPP Investigations and Organized Crime Command. In 2015, phishing scams were used by criminals to commit identity theft and
other crimes 1,702 times, according to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre. During that period, 510 Ontario victims – often seniors – were swindled out of more than $93,000. Aware that 95 per cent of victims do not report the crime, police continue to encourage everyone to be wary of email scams and to ensure a complaint is filed for further investigation. “‘Phishing’ – and its text and social media counterparts ‘smishing’ and ‘vishing’ – are ways for criminals to gather your personal information. Knowledge is power. Never give out your personal information over the phone, on the internet or through social media,� said Detective Inspector Mike Bickerton, Director – OPP Anti-Rackets Branch. “SMiShing� is a security attack in which the user is tricked into downloading a Trojan horse, virus or other malware onto their cellular phone or other mobile device. SMiShing is short for “SMS phishing.� “Vishing� is the act of using the telephone in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft. The scammer usually pretends to be a legiti-
mate business, and fools the victim into thinking he or she will profit. Police say you can avoid becoming caught in a phishing net by taking some simple steps: • Do not reply to any email or text messages that requests your personal information; • Look for misspelled words; • Protect your computer with anti-virus software, spyware filters, email filters and firewall programs; • Protect your passwords and change them frequently; and, • Contact the financial institution immediately and report your suspicions. If you or someone you know suspect they’ve been a victim of phishing, contact your local police service. You can also file a complaint through the Canadian AntiFraud Centre or toll-free by telephone at 1-888-495-8501. Additionally, if you have information concerning fraud operations or scam activity in Canada, you can contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477 (TIPS), or online at https://www.tipsubmit.com/ start.htm.

George Drew May 24, 1952-April 12, 2015 God saw him getting tired, And a cure was not to be, So He put His arms around him, And whispered, “Come to Me.” With tearful eyes we watched him suffer, And saw him slowly fade away. Although we loved him dearly, We could not make him stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands put to rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. Missed dearly by Drew, Kinch and Elson Families

SADLER - In loving memory of a Dear Father and Grandfather, William (Bill), who passed away April 17, 1983. The Depths Of Sorrow We Cannot Tell, Of the Loss of One We Loved So Well; And While He Sleeps a Peaceful Sleep, His Memory We Shall Always Keep. Lovingly remembered and sadly missed by the family.
In Memory of Christopher Donovan, October 31, 1975 – April 18, 2008 Time rolls on and we are reminded Of a day our hearts were crushed, When God took you, oh, so quickly, And we all into gloom were thrust. In the bloom of life death claimed you, In the prime of manhood days; But we hope someday to meet again And to be with you always. Lovingly remembered and sadly missed, Your family.

IN MEMORIAM COYLES - In loving memory of a dear husband, Elmer Nicholas, who passed away April 18, 1993. Alone I face a new day, Mornings when I arise, For you’ve gone on before me, No longer by my side. I wish that I could see you, For just a little while, I wish that I could hug you, And see that special smile. But wishing gets me nowhere, And longing is in vain, So I will hold you in my heart, Until we are together again. Loved and missed always, Jean Jones, David April 14, 2015 As I sit in your lazy-boy chair and see all the birds eating all the food I think of you. As I look at your picture eating your big juicy strawberry and smile at me I think of you. We all miss you very much. Love Marion, Kevin, Lynn, Grandchildren & Great Grandchildren

Emily Kszan, Rosemary Kotze, and Molly Forsythe, three local potters, help serve soup at Foodsmiths Empty Bowls 2015.
Empty Bowls celebrates 15 years in Perth Over the last 15 years donations to Empty Bowls Perth for some 9,000 bowls produced by local potters has resulted in over $190,000 for local food security programs. Many of these bowls have been filled at two annual April events in Perth with a variety of delicious soups donated by local restauranteurs. Again this year, Foodsmiths will host a ‘Many Hands Meet and Greet’ Empty Bowls event on Saturday, April 16 from 11 a.m. 2 p.m. Meet many of the ‘hands’ who work together to make Empty Bowls an ongoing success. Purchase a bowl and fill it with delicious cream of vegetable soup with parsnip and apples. Enjoy it with a crusty roll (ingredients donated by Foodsmiths suppliers). Come to the Festival of the Maples on Saturday, April 30 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Empty Bowls booth will be set up outside Riverguild Fine Crafts (51 Gore Street East). Purchase a bowl and fill it with delicious soup or chili donated by eight Perth restaurants, along with artisanal bread donated by Barnabe’s and complimentary coffee from Coutts & Company. If you want a bowl but will not be in Perth on April 16 or 30, bowls are now available at Foodsmiths till late April and are usually available yearround at the Riverguild Fine Crafts. After 15 years, Empty Bowls Perth hopes the community will understand the decision to ask for a $25 donation for each bowl. Donations support The Table Community Food Centre, YAK Youth Services, Food for Thought: Lanark County school nutrition program, and the Lanark Highlands Food Pantry, as well as Frontier College’s Summer Aboriginal Literacy Program and the Guatemala Stove Project. Empty Bowls Perth thanks Perth TD Canada Trust for their second year of sponsorship. For more information about Empty Bowls Perth - www.emptybowls.ca or facebook.com/emptybowls.ca.

Bromley completes artwork for new sign designation at Perth Legion Terry O’Hearn
Former Perthite and graphic designer Dave Bromley has recently completed the artwork for a new sign designating our building as “Home of the Perth Polar Bear Plunge”. The sign will be made by member Jim Buker of Elite Engraving, and affixed to the portico at the front entrance. Certificates of Appreciation were recently presented to Sean McAdoo of Don McAdoo Construction Ltd., and Pat Publow of Publow’s Plumbing President Eric Devlin at a regular general meeting. Their generous donations of time, manpower, and material enabled the branch to successfully complete the Accessibility Project, which saw all four bathrooms extensively renovated, as well as the installation of a stairlift/chairlift. President Devlin remarked that without such generosity and commitment on the part of these local contractors, the projects could not have been accomplished. Members are reminded that there

Days of Yore … From an editorial in The Perth Courier dated Jan. 16 13, 1975: “The indoor swimming pool project sounds excellent and would fill a much-needed gap in the recreational facilities during the winter months. However, can the Perth taxpayers afford to pay $118,375.00 towards the cost of this? According to the Indoor Pool Committee, the Rotary Club, Lions Club, and Perth Legion have made commitments of $30,000 each. Grants can be estimated at $75,000 while industry and other organizations are commit-
ted for $16,625, making a grand total of $181,625. As the project is estimated at $300,000, this would leave the balance of $118,375 to be raised by the town.” Did you know? According to The Hindu online newspaper: “India is the sixth largest military spender in 2015, having spent $51.3 billion even as the world spent $1,676 billion reversing a global trend which was on the decline since 2011, as per the latest report from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI). India moved one rank up from last year accounting for 3.1 percent of global military expenditure. Over a ten-year period from 2006-15 this represents a 43 per cent jump. India is also ahead of countries like France, Germany and Israel who happen to be among its top arms suppliers.” Don’t forget our websites: www. rcl244.com and www.hallofremembrance.ca.

Perth library celebrates official opening of ‘Old Fire Hall’ expansion
Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
You’ll be seeing less of staff at the Perth and District Union Public Library these days – and that’s a good thing. On Wednesday, April 6, the library held the official opening of the “Old Fire Hall” office space area next door on Herriott Street, though staffers moved in on Wednesday, Jan. 27. “We were giving it some time to adjust to the place,” said Erika Heesen, the chief librarian and chief administrative officer. The main staff hub was moved from the old office areas in behind the check out counter to the former home of the Perth and District Chamber of Commerce before they moved across town to Inge-Va House. Cataloguing and programming was also moved into the facility. Heesen, along with children’s librarian Rachel Warren, now no longer share cramped office space, but have their own respective work areas – Heesen
on the second floor, with an adjoining mini-boardroom, and Warren downstairs. Three other library staffers have also moved into the building, which is rented annually from the town. “It’s nice to have a door,” joked Heesen. She said that having a meeting space for committee meetings was “wonderful.” The move was a long time in coming. “When I arrived, the chamber had already moved out. This was an open and empty space,” she said. There was some repainting that had to be done – two walls were turquoise, for example, so that had to change, and the old carpet ripped up. New cabinetry was also added. “We focussed on making it functional,” said Heesen. The rent paid as part of a long-term lease on the property has been a part of the library budget since last year, while the library owns their main building and the land around it. “We cover the utilities,” said Heesen. There is also a staff break
room upstairs, where staff “can have a couple of minutes where they are away from the public.” Upstairs in Heesen’s office, the walls are stark white, offset by Victorian-era drawings in frames from the original Alice in Wonderland, which Heesen calls “appropriate literary whimsy.” “We were very sensitive to the existing heritage aspects of this building,” said Deputy Mayor John Gemmell who, along with other library board members, donated quite a bit of “sweat equity,” to the project, cleaning things out and painting numerous walls. “Nothing was busted up.” There are plans on the break room wall for a hoped-for expansion, “when it is more financially viable in the future,” said Gemmell. This expansion will help “address the growth of the library,” said Gemmell. With more than 10,000 contacts per month, Gemmell exclaimed that “that’s better than the pool!” in terms of attendance.

DNE residents fight illegal dumping during Pitch-In Week
Reports of illegal dumping come in regularly to Public Works staff at Drummond/North Elmsley Township, but residents are fighting back by organizing volunteer roadside cleanups during the 49th annual Pitch-In Canada Week. The officially designated week is April 17 to 23, but Public Works Assistant Cathie Green says the Town-
ship supports volunteer clean-up efforts at any time of year. “The township provides Pitch-In bags to volunteers. We will pick up bags once they are filled, or waive tipping fees at the landfill if volunteers bring Pitch-In bags for disposal. Early spring is a great time for roadside clean-ups. In a few short weeks the weeds and wildflowers will grow up
and conceal last year’s garbage. After that we are unlikely to ever see it again.” The Township requires residents to use a $2 tag if they put out more than two bags of garbage for collection in a given week. “People may think they’re saving money by dumping garbage on a remote road, but in fact the clean-up
cost is paid by all residents through the tax base,” Green states. People from across the township are organizing roadside clean-ups to pick up litter over the next few weeks. “Thankfully we have a lot of residents who are tired of seeing garbage littering our roadsides and are taking direct action.” Green has some advice for those

littering the roadsides. “Using municipal waste disposal systems may cost you less than illegal dumping. You pay for those systems – you may as well use them.” For municipal support of Pitch-In projects in Drummond/North Elmsley, contact Cathie Green at cgreen@ dnetownship.ca or call 613-267-6500.

Casselman wins Barkley Cup after 8-2 win over Blue Wings in game five ljweir@metroland.com
Game 4 It was a Vikings win in Perth during game four Friday in Perth. A five-goal explosion in the third period lifted the Vikings to the big win. The teams were tied after the opening period in front of a sold-out crowd. Dylan McNamara opened the scoring for Perth at the 8:42 mark with help from Karson McCartney and Danick Genest. Casselman shot back on the power play to tie the score with Harrison Wood getting by Peackcock with 18:43 gone. In the second, Perth went ahead with the only two goals in the period. McNamara scored his second of the game with help from Nicolas Brazeau and Maxime St-Georges and Genest scored on the power play with help from McCartney and Brandon Mendham. In the third, Casselman closed the gap with Plante’s power play goal at the 1:08 mark. The Vikings tied it one more time with 7:49 showing as Choquette scored.
Game 3 On Thursday, April 7, Casselman took a 2-1series advantage with their 4-3 win in Casselman. After a scoreless first, Perth held a 3-1 lead after the second period with goals from McCartney, Brazeau and Genest. Choquette had the Vikings goal. In the third, Casselman came back to win it with three unanswered goals from Carl Faucher on the power play, Adam Baxter and Oliver Castleman. Casselman outshot the Blue Wings 39-33. De Meis was the winning goalie, while Peacock took the loss. Perth was hit with six minors while Casselman had seven infractions. Next season For Perth’s bench boss and team owner, Michael McLean, it was a “record setting regular season.” He said he could not be any prouder of the performance all around, giving some of his players the kudos they deserved. “The major injury to our All-Star defenseman Mark Vanderzyde was the critical blow heading into the finals,” McLean said. “It is impossible to replace a 6-foot-3 shut-down defensman who plays 30 minutes a game against the other teams best players. Mark separated his shoulder in the Stittsville series.” McLean said the team’s leadership “was simply outstanding. Our captains Dylan McNamara, Danick Genest and Brandon Mendham really set the tone for our team. I can’t say enough about how hard our defense played after the injury to Vanderzyde.” Of note, St-Georges played on a sprained ankle and could barely walk; Scott LeBoeuf was a warrior for the team on the back end; Adam Morton played the best hockey of his career in these playoffs; Mendham played the entire playoffs on a bad foot and was dominant; Peacock, the 17-year-old ‘Blue Chip’ goaltender was poised and mentally tough beyond his years. “He gave us a chance to win every night.”; and, Matt McIntyre played with a separated shoulder for the last six weeks of the season. “From 22nd place (last year) to the

The Perth Blue Wings left it all on the ice during their Barkley Cup final series against Casselman. They wrapped up their season on Sunday night in Casselman as the Vikings claimed the Barkley Cup with an 8-2 win to take the final CCHL Tier 2 championship four games to one. CCHL2 finals and a record-setting regular season, I could not be prouder of our players, coaches, staff, volunteers, sponsors and fans,” McLean said. “This was a magical season from beginning to end.” McLean said about half the team will return next fall. “We have several young players that will be competing for these 10 or 11 open positions,” he said. Recruiting top quality people first, talent second, is an important aspect of the offseason and the coach said that was his number one lesson learned. “Having good people around leads to good things happening on the ice,” he said. Saying that, the good things started happening last year during the offseason when he made the call to Bill White, the former Almonte Thunder head coach. With the forming of the new CCHL League, the Thunder folded last season, giving White the opportunity to move to the Perth bench. “The biggest move for our team this season was the first phone call.... I called Bill White and hired him as our new General Manager and Associate Coach. “Bill did an amazing job last summer getting all of these players in place - and recruiting the right type of character. He replaced 100 per cent of the players from the previous year - cleaned house from top to bottom. Bill has been working on next year (and the year after) for the last three months. The hours he puts in and his level of dedication are impressive. “He never stops… working 12 months a year for the betterment of the Perth Blue Wings.”

It was a Cinderella season for the record books. The Perth Blue Wings, despite their loss to the red-hot Casselman Vikings who are twotime defending Jr. B champions, had quite a season. In its inaugural year, the CCHL Tier 2 league wrapped up Sunday in Casselman with an 8-2 win in game five of the bestof-seven final series for the Barkley Cup. It was Casselman’s third championship as they defended the title carrying just one loss throughout the playoffs. Perth scored both its goals in the first period when Marc-Andre LeBlanc and Matt McIntyre did the damage. Casselman managed to dominate this game scoring three times in the first, four more times in the second and once more in the third period. Johnathan Peacock suffered the loss but had some help for the first time during playoff action from his counter part, Kevan Dumouchel. Sébastien Plante and Oliver Castleman had two goals each for Casselman with singles coming from Mark Golberg, Maxime Choquette, Jérémie Lefebvre, and Harrison Wood. There were 843 fans in the arena for this championship game. “There is very little we would have done differently,” Michael McLean, head coach, said. In 15 years of coaching, he said he has never enjoyed working with such a tremendous group of young men as he did this year, and looking back there are no regrets.
Choquette picked up his second, this time shorthanded, about three minutes later. Evan Mantha scored soon after. Mendham had a last ditch effort for the Blue Wings with his goal with just 24 seconds left. With 18 seconds remaining, Perth pulled its goalie in favour of the extra attacker but Casselman hit the empty net for the 6-4 final. Gianmarco De Meis was the winning goalie with Peacock taking the loss

Perth Blue Devils clinch Upper Canada Cup over North Grenville Knights Laurie Weir
ljweir@metroland.com
The Perth and District Collegiate Institute intermediate boys basketball team went down to the wire on April 8 with the North Grenville Knights, handing the visitors a 34-33 upset in the Upper Canada showdown at PDCI. Both teams laid it on the court and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house as the buzzer sounded to end the jet fueled final game. “Wasn’t that unbelievable?” said an elated coach Tom Henderson, as he grinned from ear to ear after congratulating his Blue Devils on their accomplishment. With the score changing leads throughout the dying minutes of the game, North Grenville tried to keep the hot PDCI captain, Will Bellamy on the parameter – which only aided the three-point shooter to come good on his trey attempt. The crowd erupted and stood for the remaining seconds – that seemed to take minutes to play out – as North Grenville took advantage of some fouls to close the gap from the freethrow line. Trailing by just one, PDCI snapped up the rebound and ran out the clock for the championship. Henderson said he wasn’t sure what he would see today, but was sure pleased with the results. Having been to three tournaments in their season, the Blue Devils hadn’t done that well. “We split all our games, but over the past couple weeks, the boys have been really coming together and I’ve been telling them that.” After winning the Lanark County championship two weeks prior, Perth was on a roll, “and
we really seemed to come together today,” he said. You never know of the outcome, he added, “because at the regions you don’t really hear too much about what’s going on. You hear through the grapevine that North Grenville is good, or TISS (Thousand Islands Secondary School of Brockville) is going to be good. We’d only seen TISS earlier in the season and they’d beaten us, so we knew that we had our hands full today.” Henderson said his team worked hard to win the cup. “My guys were unbelievable… they worked so hard, and I mean they were just into it. I know with Kevin Bellamy (high school coach and organizer of a basketball program that teaches the basics to the young players from the feeder schools) and his program he’s looking forward to these guys playing high school basketball. We’ve got a good program here.” Henderson said he was “jacked up” about the Blue Devils’ win touting Will Bellamy as the “cream of the crop. Will’s really head and shoulders above almost any player in the tournament – he’s the shining star here.” Will Bellamy said he feels “really awesome” about the championship and it wasn’t too big of a job keeping his mates concentrated on the end result during the game. He knew they were focused on the prize. “I totally did” think it was going to go in Perth’s favour. The Devils have been working on defending the net and snapping up the rebounds, and Henderson said they’ve been responding well. “I’m really proud of Chris Miller, Mason

That’s something they were really working on.” Across the court, the Knights were emotional in their loss with coach Dan Preston giving nothing but praise to his young charges. “What a game, eh? No one complained about how awesome that one was,” Preston said. “I’m thrilled with them. I couldn’t have asked for anymore from them. They did a phenomenal job
and played with great heart.” This was the first game that the Knights had lost all season. “We were 20-1 and I knew we were in for a good game,” said Preston. “They’re a talented bunch of players and they made big plays and we tip our hats to them. It could have gone either way. They deserved to win… they played great.”

Perth and District Sports Hall of Fame names inaugural inductees The Perth and District Sports Hall of Fame committee upon reviewing nominations has named William “Billy” Smith, Dr. John H. Hardy and the 1936 Perth Royals of the Canadian-American Baseball League as the inaugural inductees to the Sports Hall of Fame. They will be inducted into the Perth and District Sports Hall of Fame inaugural induction ceremony to be held at the Studio Theatre at 63 Gore Street at 3 p.m. on May 15 in Perth. Billy Smith (athlete) was born and raised in Perth and learned his hockey in the town. Smith played junior hockey in Cornwall before being drafted by the Los Angeles Kings in the fifth round of the 1970 NHL draft. Smith only played five games with the Kings but did win the Calder Trophy as part of the AHL champion Springfield Kings. In 1972, he was selected by the New York Islanders in the expansion draft. With the Islanders, Smith led the team to five straight Stanley Cup finals and four consecutive Stanley Cup championships (1980-83). In 1978, Smith played in the NHL All-Star game. He was named to Team Canada for the 1981 Canada Cup. Smith, in 1982, was named to the First All-Star Team and presented with the Vezina Trophy as the most outstanding goaltender. He was a co-recipient of the Jennings Trophy for allow-
ing the fewest goals and was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy as the most valuable player in the playoffs in 1983. Smith, in 1979, was credited with the first goal scored by an NHL goaltender. Smith played 18 NHL seasons and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1993. Dr. John H. Hardy (builder) was the principal of Perth Collegiate Institute from 1921 to 1944. As the principal he dedicated to the growth of sport at PCI especially in football. Under his guidance, sports at PCI grew in prominence for boys and girls as he advocated both interform and interscholastic sports. Dr. Hardy oversaw the introduction or maintenance of sports such as boxing, tennis, basketball, track and field, hockey, soccer, baseball and rugby football. He participated in sports as a referee, judge, administrator and coach. Although he coached hockey, soccer and boxing at the school, it was with football, which he introduced to PCI, that he had the greatest impact. As head coach of the football team for 19 years, Dr. Hardy guided PCI to 13 Lanark County championships, including six consecutive from 1923 to 1928 of which 1926, 1927 and 1928 were undefeated seasons in County play. Dr. Hardy played a strong role in the academic and athletic life of Perth and was instrumental in the growth of football in Perth.
The 1936 Perth Royals (team) played in the inaugural season of the professional Canadian American League. The league had six baseball teams based in Ontario and New York State. The Perth franchise began as the Blue Cats but in mid-season became known as the Royals. The Royals’ Frank Marrinette led the Can-Am League with 80 RBIs and Michael Sperrick won the batting title with a .360 average. The Royals finished the regular season with 50 wins and 30 losses and a .625 winning percentage as the team won the pennant. The Royals also defeated Brockville in the playoffs thereby becoming the league’s first playoff champion and bringing a professional championship to one of baseball’s smallest markets. The Rusty White Award, presented to the Sportsperson of the Year for 2015, will be presented to the inaugural recipient during the ceremony.

Olympic time trials Both Bailey Andison (right) and Olivia Ellard (left) did well at the Canadian Olympic Trials in Toronto last weekend. Andison was the top performer for the Perth Stingrays, noted Stingrays head coach Rod Agar. She placed 5th in the 200 meter individual medley. Her time, 2:15.92, was a new Stingrays’ record and also ranks her at 21st place in Canada alltime. Andison also placed 6th in the 400 meter individual medley with a time of 4:50.07. That’s a new Stingrays’ record and ranks her at 29th in Canada all-time. Ellard placed 14th in the 100 meter backstroke at the time trials with a time of 1:02.76 which is a new Stingrays’ record and the 15th fastest time in Canada this season. Ellard placed 28th in the 200 meter backstroke. Picutred, the girls have a chat after their events.

Bailey Andison collected the female Swimmer of the Year honor after earning Newcomer of the Championship at this year’s league championships for the University of Denver. The freshman claimed league titles in both the 200 IM and 400 IM, setting championship meet records in both events and qualifying for the NCAA Championships. She placed 10th in the 400 IM (4:06.91) and 14th in the 200 IM (1:56.51), earning Second Team All-America honors and setting new all-time league marks in both events. She is pictured in the pool to the left, with her coach and the head coach of the Perth Stingrays, Rod Agar. DON’T DUMP IT… BLUE BOX IT! The simple act of recycling has more impact on the environment than the average Canadian thinks. The amount of wood and paper North Americans throw away each year is enough to heat five million homes for 200 years.

Maple martini developed in Carleton Place and district If the promise of pancake and waffles drizzled with fresh local maple syrup wasn’t enough to get your heart racing this spring, the development of a tasty new drink at a local restaurant is sure to get you excited about this years’ syrup season. The creation of the drink was the brainchild of marketing whiz and chamber past president Tracy Lamb. The chamber was offered the opportunity to create a signature drink for the Military Family Resource Centre’s Annual Victory Ball as part of their diamond sponsorship deal with
the centre. A number of possible drink ideas were brought to the table but the ultimate goal was to create a classy drink that spoke to the region. Lamb saw an opportunity to incorporate a classic Lanark County commodity namely maple syrup into the signature drink. And so after some testing and refining at Generations Inn in Beckwith, the Meet Me on the Mississippi Maple Martini was born. The drink serves up a double whammy with maple whiskey and maple syrup as key ingredi-
ents, but the lemon juice in the drink does a great job to balance out the flavours and the martini is quite smooth. Bartender Rex Burgess of Generations Inn was also involved in the process which was largely done by trial and error and a fair bit of taste testing. The Meet Me on the Mississippi Maple Martini will also be featured in the upcoming cookbook Sweet Ontario, Our Favourite Maple Recipes set for release in early April. With more than 100 scrumptious maple recipes for appetizers, soups, salads, mains
and desserts, the cookbook was compiled by the Maple Syrup Producers Association. Also featured in the book, the runner-up to the Martini, the Meet me on the Mississippi Whiskey Sour. The cookbooks will be available for purchase the week of April 1 at the chamber information centre in Carleton Place located at 170 Bridge Street in the old Moore House. The Meet me on the Mississippi Maple Martini can be requested at local bars and restaurants Photo courtesy Tracey Lamb in Carleton Place or try your hand at creating them at home. Maple Martine is available in Lanark County
