The hills may be alive with the sound of music and soon, so too may be the streets of Perth. The Perth Business Improvement Area (BIA) and town council are considering a plan to allow up to four buskers in the downtown core on any one day. “There needed to be more buzz downtown,” said Coun. Judy Brown at Perth town council’s committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, June 16, where the idea got its first public airing. “This (plan) would allow buskers during the summer months. We have lots of talented musicians at the high school,” who could avail of this initiative, and get some performing experience, while earning some pocket money in the process. “I see this as a great initiative,” Brown said. It was suggested that a $50 deposit be given by performers, which would be returned after their performance, in designated areas, so long as they show up and clean up after themselves. In order to control busking activities, and to get the oneyear pilot project off the ground, Eric Cosens, the director of development and protective services, said that the town needed a busking control bylaw. “We don’t (currently) have significant control over busking activities,” Cosens said. The pilot project would allow the town and the BIA to “try it out for a year and see how it goes.” A maximum of four performers would be allowed downtown, with one- and two-day permits on offer. The new proposed bylaw would also bring in fines of up to $150 for busking without a licence. While some cities, like Toronto, have auditions for buskers who perform in that city’s subway system – Toronto’s auditions, have, in the past, been held at the Canadian See BUSKERS page P2

United Counties to revamp council chambers over the summer Interest in regional Ombudsman sought Warden Dave Gordon and Counties staff are asking Leeds Grenville municipal leaders if there is an interest in having an ombudsman speciﬁc to eastern Ontario. “At this time it is exploratory,” Warden Gordon said, adding they ﬁrst want to know if municipalities are interested. CAO Andy Brown will be sending out additional information to all Leeds Grenville municipalities so it can be discussed by councils. The Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus (EOWC) will be considering a report from CAOs recommending it recruit and retain a regional ombudsman for use by EOWC members. If EOWC decides to retain a regional ombudsman, it would then invite counties and local municipalities to opt in or out. In January 2016, the Public Sector and MPP Accountability and Transparency Act (Bill 8) comes into effect. The legislation enables the Ontario Ombudsman to investigate complaints relating to all public sector bodies, including municipalities. Prior to this legislation, a municipal ombudsman was not a requirement. Under Bill 8, if a municipality doesn’t appoint its own

Counties CAO Andy Brown said the renovation will proceed but staff will look again at how to keep the desks in place while still achieving the muchneeded upgrade. Counties staff has budgeted $160,000 for the renovation. The bulk of the budget is for technology requirements of microphone, hearing assist and audio-visual systems. The original proposal was to remove the antique desks and replace them with ones which could be wired and also configured to allow for all members to be seated in a semi-circle. At present, the larger desks are positioned in two facing double rows. Counties administration first moved into the building in 2004. Other renovations and a new addition have been added, but the chamber has not been updated. Issues include poor lighting, a dark décor and an old speaker system. Exposed wires on the floor also pose a health and safety concern. The new design has an elevated floor to accommodate wiring underneath the floor and will eliminate the need for a chair lift, and provide for a ramp instead. Renovations are to begin in July and are expected to be completed in the early fall.

R0013021901

The following are highlights of the regular United Counties of Leeds and Grenville council meeting held on Thursday, June 18, and committee of the whole on June 2. Council members want to keep near century-old antique desks in a major Counties chamber renovation this summer. “The desks are part of the history of the United Counties,” said council member Herb Scott, Mayor of Athens. Scott was the ﬁrst of many members to say they wanted the desks to stay and the chamber re-design be adjusted to allow for them. Member Dave Nash, Mayor of Merrickville-Wolford, added the desks add to the “heritage value of the chamber.” “We feel pretty strongly about the desks,” said Robin Jones, Mayor of Westport. The desks were built between 191819 in Preston, Ontario, by the Guggisberg Brothers. They are made of three types of mahogany, including a species of mahogany that is now endangered. Each unit has numbers which correspond to photographs of members who originally sat two at each desk when the chamber was housed in the Brockville Courthouse.

What does the word “home” mean to you? Lanark County Social Housing wants to know. Social housing case worker Emily Hollinger appeared before the Lanark County community services committee June 17 to inform county councillors about the organization’s ‘Home Is...” social media campaign. Launched May 1, using the hashtag #Homes4Lanark, individuals are encouraged to write down what home means to them by completing the phrase “Home is...” Then, take a photo holding the sign and upload it to to Lanark County’s Facebook and Twitter sites. “The goal is to create a picture of what housing and homelessness means to the people of Lanark County,” noted Hollinger. “...In the end, we’d like to roll this all up into one package that shows what home is in Lanark County.” Hollinger indicated that the message doesn’t necessarily have to be a positive one, but “I hope it’s something that is heartfelt.” Those who don’t have access to social media, but would still like to participate in the campaign, can email their photos to housingapplications@ lanarkcounty.ca. “This a great initiative,” noted county councillor and Beckwith Deputy Reeve Sharon Mousseau. The Lanark County Social Housing social media campaign wraps up Oct. 1.

Lanark County council considers supporting Interval House akulp@perfprint.ca

R0013347573_0625

For 36 years, Lanark County Interval House (LCIH) has been a safe haven for women and children to escape from violent situations. And they’ve been doing it free of charge. LCIH executive director Erin Lee underlined that message when she appeared as a delegation before Lanark County’s community services committee June 17 at the county building in Perth. Lee was there to provide county councillors with an overview of the organization’s operations, which strives to ensure women and their children have the right to “live with dignity and without the threat of abuse. When this right is denied or interfered with, we will provide protection and support.” Lee said LCIH classifies violence against women as domestic violence. “We often talk about violence against women, but we see it as something that’s rooted in women’s issues...but it’s difficult to classify it. It makes us seem like we’re anti-men or radical, but we express it as domestic violence,” she said. It’s an issue that isn’t going anyway anytime soon, she stated, noting that in 2009, the World Health Organization named violence against women as a major health problem and a violation against human rights. Up to 95 per cent of the victims are women with one in three women having experienced violence at some point in their lives in Canada. According to statistics provided by LCIH, Aboriginal women in Canada are four times more likely to experience violence. As well, 83 per cent of women with disabilities will be physically or sexually assaulted. “There’s a cycle of violence,” Lee

said. “First comes the blow up, then the make up and honeymoon stage and then the tension builds again. This is the cycle.” LCIH helps women and children by providing them refuge in their 15-bed residential shelter and a 24/7 crisis line. Lee said other programs for children, transitional support and outreach are also designed to help women rebuild their lives. They also provide a family court support worker, public education and volunteer/fundraising program. While she wasn’t appearing before the committee specifically to seek funding, Lee said costs and numbers of those seeking services, are always increasing. Add to that, a generator that recently quit. Last year, 40 women and 39 children accessed the shelter and LCIH dealt with 1,575 calls. All told, the organization aided 510 women and 79 children in 2014. “Our numbers are still growing overall compared to a total 481 women and 141 children in combined services in 2012,” she stated. “I’m not formally making any ask, but I’m formally making a request that you do some consideration concerning Lanark County Interval House,” Lee stressed. “We welcome the opportunity anytime to come and talk about what’s happening in your county and what Lanark County Interval House is doing to protect women and children in Lanark County.” “...There are more victims of violence. They live in your communities, they are your neighbours and your friends. They could be your kid’s daughter’s friend or could be in this room,” she continued. “...Together, when we embark on discussions in various communities, we know that we can be the force to make the difference to end violence against women in Lanark County. What is the value of

having a dedicated anti-violence agency in your community?” County council listened, with Beckwith Reeve Richard Kidd putting forth a motion to consider LCIH during the 2016 budget process. “One of the reasons you’re here this evening is to talk to the new councillors and I can say that since Erin has come on board, she is the biggest advocator, making everyone aware everywhere she goes,” he stated. “I motion that we put this into the budget process...and consider a line item for Interval House.” However, Perth Mayor John Fenik believed they should go one step further and attach a dollar figure. “I thought the intent was to develop a line item for Interval House and I think if we’re going to do that, we should attach a dollar amount for discussion,” he

said, putting forth an amendment to the motion to include a $50,000 line item in next year’s budget. “Last time Interval House was here was two years ago when they needed emergency funding...this year as Erin presented, it’s clear that violence against women in Lanark County is rising and the needs are exceptional.” “It would be nice to discuss creating a budget line. That’s all fine and good, but the rubber hits the road when you attach a dollar figure,” Fenik added. Kidd indicated it would be premature to put a dollar amount on the funding. The majority of his counterparts agreed and defeated Fenik’s amendment. “I agree with Richard, we should wait for budget time and see where we are,” said Drummond/North Elmsley Deputy Reeve Gail Code. “We can’t commit to an amount now.

Many county councillors commended Lee for her efforts with LCIH. “This is a woman who lives and breathes her job, 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” noted community services committee chair Sharon Mousseau (Beckwith Deputy Reeve), who also worked with LCIH for a number of years. “I’ve been a supporter of Interval House since its inception in Carleton Place and I will continue to support it,” added Carleton Place Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn.

Invasive species student on the job in Lanark

Submitted photo

Sonya Ardley will be working throughout Lanark County as part of the Invading Species Awareness Program Hit Squad this summer to spread awareness about the impact of invasive species.

Awareness Program. This program uses public education to prevent the introduction of new invasive species, and to stop the spread of those already here. Over the course of the summer, the Invading Species Hit Squad, comprised of about 25 summer students, will monitor local lakes, waterways and forests, looking for zebra mussels, spiny water flea, round goby, giant hogweed, garlic mustard, and other invaders. They will also be engaging their community to increase awareness of invasive species. Funding is being provided by the federal government’s Canada Summer Jobs program. The public is invited to contact Sonya Ardley at 613-278-2215 or email her at sonyaplentycanada@gmail.com. To report a sighting of an invasive species, or request information materials, call the Invading Species Hotline at 1-800-563-7711, visit www.invadingspecies.com or EDDMapS.org/ Ontario.

Public school board passes 2015-2016 budget “A major reduction in provincial funding will have an impact on the way we conduct business in many areas. There will be changes, however, these changes have been made with a focus on the best interests of our students. This has been a huge challenge, a challenge that will be carefully monitored to ensure we continue to meet the needs of all students.”

from the ministry. “The foundational work we have undertaken in special education has prepared us well for this new transition that is necessary to align with a redistribution of special education high-needs funding amongst Ontario school boards,” McMillan stated.

The board’s priority continues to focus on teaching and learning in classrooms. The 2015-2016 budget incorporates expense adjustments that maintain a focus on student achievement while limiting the risk to service disruption and business continuity, and respects the guidance of the board of trustees by responding to the reduction in special education revenue received

R0013331910_0611

A new budget passed by trustees June 17 will strengthen the Upper Canada District School Board’s (UCDSB) finances and support its focus on teaching for learning, said chair Jeff McMillan. The 2015-2016 budget reflects a concerted effort by board staff to improve the organization’s financial situation. This budgetary work is in response to a significant reduction in 2015-2016 revenue of $7.4 million. The new budget results in a $1.5 million deficit which is compliant with Ministry of Education (MOE) regulations for Ontario school boards. The total special education revenue gap is $4.5 million for 2015-2016, driven mainly by a $3.5 million reduction in ministry high needs funding in 2014-15 and 2015-16 combined, and is the first step of a multi-year financial plan to achieve balanced budgets. “As a board, we’ve asked our director to find savings without impacting the classroom,” said McMillan of the new budget. “We are proud of the hard work of our senior team. It has not been an easy task and it has required a great amount of work and time.

Invasive species pose a growing threat to Ontario’s biodiversity and cause millions of dollars in damage annually. There are more invasive species in Ontario than anywhere else in Canada, so it is a good thing that the Invading Species Awareness Program (ISAP) Hit Squad is working across the province again this summer to spread awareness about the impacts that invasive species are having on our environment, economy, and society. One member of the squad is located here in Lanark this summer. Locally, Sonya Ardley is an Invasive Species Community Outreach Liaison working with Plenty Canada and the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH). “Preventing the spread of invasive species is something all Ontarians can take part in,” says Ardley. “One small action, such as cleaning your boat between different bodies of water, can make a huge difference.” The OFAH partners with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry to deliver the Invading Species

Singers sought to be part of new Carleton Place vocal jazz ensemble Calling soprano, alto, tenor and bass singers to the inaugural start of singing with the Carleton Place Offbeats, a vocal jazz ensemble. Recruitment for singers is being spearheaded by Margo Smith, ensemble accompanist and Carleton Place resident. The goal is to recruit nine to 12 singers for this adult voice jazz choir of women and men. The SATB (fourpart mixed) repertoire will include: blues, ballads, bebop, and swing tunes with songs such as: Sentimental Journey, Gonna Build a Mountain, I’ve Got

the Sun in the Morning, Dream, Blue Moon, High Hopes (two-part ladies), Sweet Georgia Brown (two-part men) and more. This is your chance to be part of a welcoming, friendly group, who enjoy singing, enjoy meeting new faces, or singing with familiar ones. It is also an opportunity to share this music through performance, as determined by the group, or as opportunities arise from within our local communities. A perfect voice is not required, but advantages would be: previous ensemble or choral experience, having a

good sense of rhythm to sing offbeat music, singing in various tempos from fast bebop tunes to languid ballads, singing with blended voice and having knowledge of basic to intermediate music reading skills and part-singing ability. An appreciation of this style of music, and feeling the freedom to move with the music is an essential element. A congenial personality adds

to the dynamics for small ensemble singing. Participation will include two blocks of time with the fall term running from October to the end of November. Spring term participation would be for the months of February to the end of March. Rehearsals will be scheduled for Thursdays from 1 to 3 p.m. starting on Oct. 1 at Smith’s home. Music

for each term will be distributed in advance with the requirement that singers have a good understanding of the music prior to the ﬁrst rehearsal. No membership fee will be required. Ensemble members will be asked to purchase the sheet music required per term. Interested? Email Margo Smith at CarletonPlaceOffbeats@gmail.com.

Party responsibly

anada Day is arguably the kick-off to summer. With the warmest season of the year having officially arrived on June 21, we’re all looking for an excuse to celebrate and what better way than our nation’s birthday? However, there are ways to do so responsibly. The Ontario Provincial Police are reminding motorists, boaters and ATV operators that they will be out in full force over the Canada Day holiday, ensuring public safety. Distracted driving remains one of the number one causes of collisions and it doesn’t just apply to texting while driving. If you’re operating a motor vehicle, adjusting your GPS or stereo, eating and drinking or applying makeup while driving and being inattentive can classify as distracted. What’s even scarier is that in the age of smart phones, distracted driving fatalities have surpassed alcoholrelated deaths in collisions since the OPP instituted distracted driving laws in 2009. Six years on, have we learned nothing?

If there didn’t need to be another reason to stay alert while driving, there is. The OPP reported this week that the month of June was a bad one on Ontario roads, with 27 deaths, the majority of which are attributed to poor driver behaviours. Those 27 deaths came from 23 collisions between June 1 and 21. This brings the number of road deaths so far in 2015 on Ontario roads to 124. The OPP are calling these fatalities senseless and we have to agree. There’s no excuse for putting yourself and others on the road at risk by not buckling your seatbelt or putting that phone down, or choosing to get behind the wheel while intoxicated. We all have a role to play in ensuring we arrive at our destinations safely. Brush up on your own driving etiquette, but keep an eye out for others who may have bad habits. If you see someone who is distracted behind the wheel, let the OPP know. Call 911 if you believe someone is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Prevention is key.

Mudpout was not a delicacy young Mary enjoyed When the Bonnechere River was still swollen from the spring runoff, it became a perfect hunting ground for my brothers, allowing them to indulge in one of their favourite pastimes, while at the same time, adding a bit of variety to the meat from the smoke house or to dinners of chicken or them at my brother’s hands.

ried a heavy slop pail, which was bigger by far than the milk pails we used in the cow byre. As soon as they reached the river they filled the pail with water and then wandered up and down the banks looking for their prey. Sometimes they crawled out on the big maple tree that had long ago fallen across the river at its narrowest spot. This allowed them to be right over the channel where they could see deep into the depths of the Bonnechere. They were silent as foxes and as I watched from my spot well away from the river, I felt like I was witnessing some terrible act of violence. But still I stayed at the riverbank, mesmerized. The brothers uttered not a word. But when they spotted a mudpout they would point frantically and one of them would

plunge the spear into the water with deadly purpose. Rarely did they miss the target and they would bring the weapon up with a squirming mudpout impaled on the end of the spear. Whoever caught the fish would leave his post and head for the

bucket of water. This was when I would cover my eyes. I had no idea how they got the fish off the prong and I had no desire to learn. But long after the brother had gone back to his perch on the tree trunk or along the river band, I would hear the mudpout slapping

against the side of the pail. It was not unusual for the boys to catch half a dozen or more of the fish. And when the bucket could hold no more, two of them would take the handle and head See MARY page 9

up the hill for the house. If they saw me lurking in a clump of bushes, they paid me no heed. They knew how I felt about their murderous mission and realized they would never convince me they had not committed a violent crime. Once Everett, my oldest brother told me the fish had no nerves, and so would never feel the spear. But I didn’t believe him for a minute. Why else would it slap around in the pail trying to escape? After the boys took the pail to a big flat stump of a fallen elm in our back yard, they would clean the fish and get them ready for Mother in the kitchen. And then I faced my next dilemma. I knew Mother would be cooking the mudpout for supper and I dreaded not only the sight of them on the platter, but I especially hated the smell of them in the fry pan. To me, the fish smelled just like the Bonnechere River when its bed had gone dry at the end of the summer. Add to this the fact that the one and only time I hovered near the stove while Mother

was frying them, I actually saw them squirm in the pan. Well, that tore it for me. I was convinced the fish were still alive, in spite of the fact they had been stripped clean. I once told my brother Emerson I thought Mother was cooking the mudpout live, and hateful like he was, he assured me that was indeed the case. Needless to say, from that day forward, I refused to eat as much as a smidgen of fish caught from the Bonnechere. Mother always said the fish were a welcomed break from the roasts and chicken we raised in great abundance on the farm. And while the rest of the family dug into the platter as if they hadn’t had a meal for a month, I ate cold pork or beef, keeping my eyes averted from the quickly vanishing platter in the centre of the supper table. My hateful brother Emerson, to aggravate me further, would smack his lips, and all through supper would try to convince me that if I tried even a small mouthful, I would soon change my mind about mudpout. Nothing could convince me that I would change my mind...not

even Mother’s comment that if we didn’t eat everything put before us, we were taking food right out of the mouth of the starving Armenians. I was always grateful that a piece of mudpout wasn’t put on my plate at suppertime, because even the thought of a starving Armenian wasn’t enough to change the way I

Crew members of the Empire Sandy hoist the sails of the ship as the boat leaves Hardy Park in Brockville Friday, June 19 for a sunset dinner cruise.

The Empire Sandy, a tall ship that was born a tug boat and served time in the Second World War salvaging merchant ships, made its way into Hardy Park, Brockville to kick off the All Ships Festival, June 19 to 21. The Friday evening dinner cruise was an opportunity to enjoy the threehour sunset sail, a roast beef dinner even some dancing. For Doug and Evelyn Sloane, it was an opportunity to see their family – the captain of the Empire Sandy is their son. “Gordon has been on the water since he was born,” said Evelyn, who admitted that they are able to get on board the boat, which their son and his family call home, 24/7, a couple times a year. Doug and Evelyn were making a weekend of it in Brockville. They hail from Prince Edward County and coming to Brockville was a chance for a minivacation as well as some important family time. Doug said his son was the youngest captain in North America at age 21. “We’re very proud of him,” he said, while taking a drag from his sweetsmelling pipe. “They have a blog, The Good Ship

Doug and Evelyn Sloane of Prince Edward County are not just regular passengers aboard this tall ship, Empire Sandy. They are the parents of Capt. Gordon Sloan. They are able to hop aboard the tall ship a couple times a year to visit with their son and his family, who call the vessel home. Monster, and they write about their life.” The Sloanes say their son, his wife and their son, along with the family dog, a retriever type called Anchor, have been living on the ship for many years.

“It’s their life,” Evelyn said. The senior Sloanes have been together 52 years – and after getting married, they purchased a boat and did a lot of sailing themselves. “Asia is my favourite,” said Evelyn. “We just love the water, and Gordon was born to sail…he’s been in boats for 44 years.” When asked if they ever worry about their son, Evelyn remembered a time when Gordon was on the water, “and we got a call from the coast guard. Of course, that’s our worst fear,” she said. “When the coast guard put my son on the phone, he asked me for a favourite cheesecake recipe.” She laughed at the memory. Doug recalled a time when their son called him after sailing down through the Panama and on his way back home, “he needed crew, so we went to help him. We were his crew.” Not only has Gordon captained the Empire Sandy, but he has also been at the helm of the Fair Jeanne, another tall ship to anchor in Brockville during the weekend. There were dock tours and sail-outs happening all weekend during the festival, as well as food, entertainment, vendors and displays.

Tall ship, Empire Sandy, sets sail from Brockville’s Hardy Park to kick off recent All Ships Festival

Reflections By Jeff maguire

Joyce Mitchell, a 51-year-old instructor in the prison sewing shop, befriended the two killers and had a sexual relationship with Matt. It appears he convinced her to bring them some of the tools and equipment they needed to cut through steel walls and underground pipes in order to facilitate their escape. Panic attack Authorities claim Mitchell failed to meet the men with a vehicle, as planned, and drive them to a pre-arranged location. It’s alleged the besotted prison employee developed cold feet. Instead of whisking the men away to begin a new life with them, she checked herself into hospital after suffering a panic attack. After being arrested and jailed on several charges related to her alleged complicity in the escape, Mitchell evidently began singing like a canary. Despite claims by family members, including her son and first husband that she would never be involved in such a situation, the plot thickened on a daily basis. In fact the stories emerging from tiny Dannemora are so sordid that major US television entertainment programs, talk shows and tabloids have had a field day. CNN ran daily features on the escape and the story quickly went international. As more details surfaced NY State officials said it is believed Mitchell had arranged to have the pair kill her current husband (also a prison employee) and run

away with them. To me news footage of Mitchell in court, sporting prison garb and handcuffs, paints a very different picture. The word “naïve” springs to mind. It’s pure conjecture of course but it is hard for me to envision those individuals planning a life with anyone once they were free. It may not only have been Mitchell’s husband whose life was in jeopardy? Meanwhile another male prison employee has also been questioned and disciplined in connection with the escape. His involvement hasn’t been publicized. As for the escapees themselves, these are not nice people. Matt was serving a life sentence for torturing and murdering an elderly man, his former boss and dismembering the body with a hacksaw in 1997. He threw the remains into a river. Matt has a history of escapes from custody dating back to when he was 13 and living in a group home. His appropriately named sidekick – he must be “Sweat-ing” it out while he’s on the lam – received a life sentence without the possibility of parole for the vicious July 2002 slaying of a Sheriff’s Deputy near Binghamton, in south-central New York State. After shooting the policeman Sweat drove a car over the ofﬁcer’s body several times while he was still alive. When Kathy and I passed through Dannemora on May 24, less than two weeks before the escape, we noticed a ‘For Sale’ sign on a small home directly opposite the prison. I remember saying, “Can you imagine buying a home here?” Somehow I think the property values in Dannemora have just taken a plunge! That said the well-planned and executed escape is the ﬁrst in the

history of the maximum security section of the prison which was opened in 1845. It is known as ‘Little Siberia’ because of the cold winters in Upstate New York and the relatively remote location surrounded by heavy forest and crisscrossed by mountains, hills and rivers. The Dannemora facility is designed to house 3,000 prisoners and not surprisingly it is at capacity. There is 1,400 staff, many of whom live in and around Plattsburgh. Famous inmates from the past include Charles “Lucky” Luciano, the Prohibition-era gangster. Luciano served 10 years of a 30-50 year sentence at what was then called Dannemora State Prison for running a prostitution ring in New York City. He was deported to his native Sicily following World War II and died in 1962. Another past inmate at Dannemora was Robert Chambers, the so-called “Preppie Killer” who pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the Central Park (New York City) slaying of 18-year-old Jennifer Levin in 1986. Chambers’ story has been well publicized on television. He was released in 2003 but is back in prison after being convicted on various drug-related charges. Violent criminals The current list of prisoners in Dannemora features a long list of the most violent male criminals in New York State. Given the help they had, including the silence of cellmates who must have heard the men cutting through steel walls, I don’t put this incident in the same league as the ﬁctional Shawshank Redemption See COLUMN page 12

This is a view of the massive Clinton County Correctional Facility in Dannemora, New York. The prison wall comprises one side of the main street in the small village near Plattsburgh. The maximum security prison has been in the news recently following a daring escape by two convicted murderers. Connected to Your Community A/CP/K/P/SF - 11 - Thursday, June 25, 2015

The Clinton County Correctional Facility is an ominous and imposing structure. The main wall of the maximum security prison rises several storeys above New York State Route 374. The wall forms one side of the main street in the small village of Dannemora. Guard towers, with watchful figures always evident inside, stand at the corners of the edifice. Watchful indeed! Sometime overnight June 5-6 two convicted murderers completed an escape plan that had clearly been well designed and took many hours to execute. As a result the massive prison, which has housed some of the most notorious criminals in New York history during its 170 years of existence, has been thrust into the international spotlight. At this writing the two escapees Richard Matt, 48, and David Sweat, 35, have not yet been located, despite the efforts of more than 800 law enforcement officials who searched the area around the clock for days. Despite sightings in other places the search remains focused on the mountainous, heavily forested Dannemora district. The two killers have eluded capture despite the fact a key ingredient in their plan – the getaway car – failed to arrive as scheduled. While rare, prison escapes are not unheard of. Even in modern times, when security features have improved dramatically, there is always someone willing to try. Most escapees are apprehended swiftly. My wife Kathleen and I were surprised to hear about the breakout from the Dannemora prison and also very interested. We had driven through the village just 12 days before on our way back from a holiday in Vermont. We pass through Dannemora once or twice a year on our regular driving trips through the northeastern United States. It’s only an hour’s drive from the Canadian border. My interest in real-life crime means I have always been intrigued by the huge, stark prison in the middle of nowhere. I have taken photographs of the place to show family and friends. Despite the often overblown media reports, this was not an escape equal to those portrayed in films such as the Shawshank Redemption or Escape from Alcatraz. The latter was based on a true story, something I will expand on later. This escape was, from all accounts, the absolute definition of “an inside job.” Based on the number of charges she is facing and the vast amount of news coverage focused on her case, it appears the two murderers managed to charm a female prison employee. The word “charmed” is an understatement. Prosecutors in Clinton County, NY allege that

Movies Under the Stars marks fifth anniversary July 2 in Smiths Falls sroy@perfprint.ca

There is no better birthday theme for a five-year-old than Cinderella! This July 2 Together Smiths Falls: A Community Enhancement Association will be welcoming the classic Disney princess to their fifth anniversary celebrations of Movies Under the Stars July 2 under the water tower. Since 2010 the non-profit organization has teamed up with local charities to provide free child-friendly activities and a nighttime movie under the stars. Each year Susan Richards, a founding event volunteer, said the park event raises $2,000 to $2,500 for various organizations via concession

stand proceeds. “In five years we’ve given back a fair chunk of money to community groups that help us out every week,” Richards said. Non-profit organizations receive a portion of concession stands in exchange for providing volunteers and kids activities for their movie night. Richards is one of three volunteers who has given of her time since the start of Movies Under the Stars to bring this free family-friendly experience to town. Fellow volunteer, Heather Whiting and association president, Tracey Pankow join her in celebrating five years of giving back to their community July 2. “It should be a lot of fun,” Pankow said. Volunteers, Nora Elliott and

Deanna Gaston have joined the association since its inception five years ago and will be celebrating along side their founding peers next Thursday night. The evening will begin with a free barbecue from 6 to 7 p.m. to kick off the party thanks to the Local Immigration Partnership. Afterwards, pre-show activities will begin with balloons, a birthday cake, clowns, face painting and lots of fun with a bubble machine. This season opener is the start of a summer full of Thursday evenings under the water tower. Following is a complete list of dates and movies for this season’s Movies Under the Stars experience. All movies begin at dusk with children’s activities taking

from stolen raincoats to enter the bay. To ensure they had a good start the men constructed dummy heads, made from papier-mâché and complete with hair stolen from the prison barber shop, which they placed in their bunks to fool patrolling guards. None of the three men or their bodies was ever found. The official report on the escape concludes they drowned in the swift currents and icy waters of San Francisco Bay. In the excellent 1979 film Escape from Alcatraz, Clint Eastwood portrayed the highly intelligent Morris. And some reports say the prison warden at the time received a card from Morris on every anniversary of the escape. Alcatraz closed its doors less than a year later. It is now a major destination for visitors to San Francisco and is definitely on my

bucket list. Obviously I am following the hunt for the Dannemora escapees with great interest. Hopefully they will be caught soon and put back where they belong. The escape by Matt and Sweat is almost certain to attract attention from filmmakers, if only because of the assistance they evidently received from a lovestruck employee. That adds another dimension to an already intriguing tale. But if you ever decide to take NY Rt. 374 from Malone to Plattsburgh and you pass through Dannemora I have a little advice for you. Don’t pick up any hitchhikers! If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey. maguire@rogers.com.

prisoner spent 17 years cutting through his cell wall and tunneling his way to a sewage pipe which he used to flee the prison. One of the most ingenious real-life escapes in US history occurred at infamous Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary located on the island of the same name in San Francisco Bay. On June 11, 1962 three prisoners, Frank Morris and the Anglin brothers, John and Clarence, completed an intricate breakout. They too tunneled through their cell walls. They then climbed up pipes in a ventilation shaft to reach the cell block roof. They shimmied several storeys down the outside of the structure and scaled at least two barbed wire fences before making their way undetected to the water’s edge. They then used rubber rafts made

You’re newly graduated, with a great job and a solid future in sight – and you’re making your own money for the first time. You could spend some of it on a great vacation, a new car … or you could start investing in your retirement portfolio. When you’re a young Canadian strapped for cash, with student loans to pay off and lots of new lifestyle expenses, it’s difficult to save for the future. But the experts, and the life experiences of many investors, tell us that without a doubt, starting young is the key to investing successfully for retirement. Even if you start small, start now – because the longer you are in the markets, the more your savings will grow over time. Check out this example: • Mary invests $2,000 at the beginning of each year between ages 21 and 29, for a total of $18,000 over nine years. Assuming a pre-tax return of 7 per cent, by age 65, she will have $292,828 in pre-tax savings. • Lynn also invests $2,000 at the beginning of each year with the same pre-tax returns but starts at age 30. To get near Mary’s savings total of $292,828, Lynn will need to invest nearly four times as much -- $70,000 over 35 years.

Yearly eye exams can reveal more than just vision trouble More evidence points to the importance of routine eye exams, not only to pinpoint potential conditions of the eye, but also to serve as windows to diseases that affect the entire body. Now more than ever it is essential to make and keep annual eye exams, as they can help to reveal the first signs of serious ailments. Doctors from around the world say dozens of diseases — from certain cancers to arthritis to high blood pressure — can show symptoms in the eye. Under the watchful and knowing gaze of an eyecare professional, individuals can get early diagnosis and begin treatment promptly. According to Dr. Roy Chuck, chair of the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Medical Center, there are many systemic

diseases that can be seen in the eye. In addition to the conditions mentioned, jaundice can indicate liver disease while retinal detachment and bleeding in new blood vessels may indicate hypertension. By looking at the color of the cornea, some doctors can tell if a patient has elevated levels of cholesterol. Many people have had their eye doctors be the first healthcare professional to detect the presence of their diabetes. If an ophthalmologist suspects an underlying medical condition, he or she will likely refer men and women to their primary care doctors for a more thorough examination.

Fishing: Fishing is more than just a leisurely day at the lake. Casting and reeling in your catch provides a good workout for the arms, legs and core muscles of the body. If you fish on the water, rowing out to your lucky spot provides additional cardiovascular exercise. Golf: Golf is enjoyed by people of all ages. Requiring a combination of strategy and skill, golf also pays several physical dividends. Play at your own pace, taking your time walking from hole to hole so you can enjoy the sunshine and soak in the beauty of the course. Swimming: A few laps around a pool works your whole body. Swimming is attractive to seniors because it works the muscles and provides a cardiovascular jolt without putting any strain on the joints. Cycling: Many seniors are avid cyclists. You can ride a bicycle in competition or for pleasure. You can even vary your route depending on how physically intense you want the ride to be. Seniors need not abandon their love of sport just because Father Time is catching up with them. Many sports can be enjoyed by athletes of all ages. LP153040

Keep your heart running strong into your golden years ages. • Get sufficient exercise. At least 30 minutes of exercise per day can protect against disease. • Quit smoking. Smoking increases your risk for a host of ailments, including heart disease. Quitting is a great way to start getting your heart and other parts of your body back on track. • Include heart-healthy foods in your diet. A diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables and low in cholesterol, salt and saturated fat promotes heart health. • Don’t drink alcohol to excess. Like smoking, drinking alcohol to excess can lead to a host of problems, such as high blood pressure, arrhythmia and

toward a heart attack include undue fatigue, palpitations (the sensation that your heart is skipping a beat or beating too rapidly), dyspnea (difficulty or labored breathing), chest pain or discomfort from increased activity. • Arrhythmia: Arrhythmia means your heartbeat is irregular, and men and women often mistakenly believe arrhythmia only afflicts those who already have been diagnosed with heart disease or have had a heart attack. But arrhythmia can affect even those men and women who have healthy hearts and no history of cardiovascular disease. Symptoms of arrhythmia can vary greatly, from a single premature beat to a series of premature beats that occur in rapid succession. Arrhythmia that lasts long enough to affect heart function may include symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, fatigue, dizziness, lightheadedness, shortness of breath, and chest pain. How can I protect my heart? Heart healthy habits take some effort, but men and women can protect their hearts regardless of their

How to build and maintain strong bones Osteoporosis, a disease that causes bones to become weakened and brittle over time, affects millions of people across the globe. The International Osteoporosis Foundation says an osteoporosis-related fracture occurs roughly once every 3 seconds, accounting for more than 8.9 million fractures a year. Younger individuals typically heal from fractures more quickly than older adults, who often discover that fractures greatly impede their mobility and quality of life. Bone health is important at any age, but it is particularly crucial as a person gets older. Without a strong framework of bones, the body collapses on itself and rates of fracture increase. Fortunately, there are several ways to keep and maintain strong bones. Bones are largely made up of a protein called collagen, which is bound together by calcium and other trace minerals. Vitamin D and calcium work in concert, with vitamin D helping the body to absorb calcium so it can find its way into bones. Experts advise getting the right ratio of calcium, protein and vitamin D to safeguard against osteoporosis. Dairy products, such as low- and nonfat milk, yogurt and cheese, are

high in calcium. Dark green vegetables and almonds contain calcium in smaller amounts. Obtaining calcium and vitamin D through natural sources is always preferable, but doctors may suggest supplementation to meet the minimum recommended levels. Exercise is another important component of building strong bones. The National Osteoporosis Foundation says 30 minutes of exercise each day can help. Higher-intensity exercises should be mixed with lower-intensity workouts for the best results. Weightbearing exercises, such as hiking, dancing and stairclimbing, can build between 1 and 3 percent of bone. An exercise regimen also should include lifting weights or using resistance bands. Activities that promote good posture and flexibility can help improve balance and alignment of the body. Perform stretches smoothly and slowly after exercising to maintain your range of motion. Quitting smoking also can promote strong bones. Smoking has been linked to poor skeletal health in both men and women, and the longer one smokes, the greater one’s risk for fracture. HW156239

high cholesterol, each of which increases your risk of heart disease. • Lose weight. Being overweight or obese is a major risk factor for heart disease. If you have already started to exercise daily and eat a more heart-healthy diet, then you’re on your way to losing weight. Consult your physician if diet and exercise don’t seem to be helping you to shed pounds. Heart disease kills millions of people across the globe each year, many of whom are over 50. But men and women who learn about heart disease and how to reduce their risk stand a far greater chance of fighting the disease. LP153977

Heart health should be a concern for people of all ages, but especially so for men and women over 50. That’s because, according to the American Heart Association, even men and women who are free of cardiovascular disease at age 50 are at a significant lifetime risk of developing the disease. But heart disease does not have to be an accepted byproduct of aging. For example, a 2014 study published in the AHA journal Circulation found that maintaining or increasing physical activity after age 65 can improve the heart’s well-being and lower risk of heart attack. In addition to increasing physical activity as they age, older men and women who understand heart disease and learn to recognize its symptoms have a greater chance of minimizing its affects and lowering their risk of having a heart attack. What are the symptoms of heart disease? Heart disease is a blanket term used to describe a host of conditions, so symptoms vary depending on each individual condition. The following are some of the more widely known conditions and their symptoms: • Hypertension: Also known as high blood pressure, hypertension is a largely symptomless form of heart disease. The AHA notes that the idea that hypertension produces symptoms such as difficulty sleeping, facial flushing, nervousness, and sweating is a misconception. Symptoms typically do not alert men and women to the presence of hypertension, highlighting the emphasis men and women should place on routine visits to the doctor’s office, where their blood pressure can be taken. • Heart attack: The symptoms of a heart attack are different than the symptoms of heart disease that may lead to heart attack. The former can be found by visiting www.heart.org. Signs that you may be heading

Eastern Ontario has interesting connection to the Titanic Tales from the Troubadour LYLE DILLABOUGH

that it was the Titanic’s sister ship, the Olympic, not the Titanic itself, which sank. The Olympic was apparently struck by a naval frigate prior to the construction of Titanic and the scheme was to switch ships and collect on the insurance. This theory maintains that shabby repair work was done to the Olympic so it could mask as the Titanic and then was sent out to be destroyed on purpose. Many famous and wealthy people perished on that voyage and this fact only adds to those conspiracy theories. Then the massive insurance payments afterwards were supposedly used to help finance the First World War. Since the event many mysterious things have come to light. The graves in Halifax are laid out in such a way as to duplicate

a hurry with little regard to placement, persons, or overall sense of graveyard order. The chances that the Unknown Child should be located near its mother is staggering. Here in eastern Ontario, there exists a connection to the Titanic as well. In the Village of Chesterville, one can find the Titanic House, which was owned by Hudson Allison. Mr. Allison and his son Trevor were passengers on the Titanic. Hudson drowned that night but his son survived but only to succumb to poisoning shortly thereafter. The two are buried at the Maple Submitted photo Ridge Cemetery near ChesThe Titanic has a connection here in eastern Ontario, in Ches- terville and both the house

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.

ENERGY TIP!

Check doors for proper insulation. Place your hand against a door from the inside. If it feels cooler than the inside walls, it might be time to install a door that’s better insulated.

and the grave site have become a key pilgrimage site for serious ‘Titaniacs.’ In April of 2007 a large group of Titaniacs gathered at the grave site to observe the anniversary of the ship wreck. And so, to this very day the legend goes on. Titanic has affected and touched us all. A few years back my daughter Crystal and I stood amongst the graves of those who perished that awful night. The feeling was indescribable and we both sensed it quite powerfully. The way many do when they hear the words and music to the movie sound track that proclaims, “I know that the heart must go on.”

On the night of April 14, 1912 the “unsinkable” Titanic sank on its maiden voyage off of the coast of Newfoundland. It is an event that has lodged itself firmly in the minds and hearts of many and has become entrenched in our collective social conscious. The image of this great ocean liner succumbing to the cold depths of the Atlantic taking more than 1,500 people with her rates as one of the most frightening nightmares that could confront the human mind. But that’s exactly what happened and the world has never been able to forget about it. In fact, Titanic has become a major obsession for many. The James Cameron 1997 epic motion picture ranks amongst the highest grossing movies of all time. The DVD sales alone are more than five times greater than the amount of what the picture’s initial theatre run produced. Yes; Titanic’s heart does seem to “go on.” Since the events of that fateful night, many “conspiracy theories” and such have come forward. It has even been suggested

The final concert in MERAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sunday Schoolhouse Spring Concert Series, on Sunday, June 28, will feature award-winning Spanish/Canadian flamenco guitarist and composer Jorge Miguel, in an ensemble that includes a flamenco singer and dancer. Miguelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new CD Guitarra Flamenca/Flamenco Guitar is an exploration of the depth and breadth of Flamenco Guitar by an artist that has dedicated his life to this art form. Eight diverse songs styles, known in Flamenco circles as â&#x20AC;&#x153;palosâ&#x20AC;?, are performed with precision, passion and originality yet remain firmly rooted in tradition. Miguelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family is from Cadiz, AndalucĂa, Spain, his parents moved from Seville to Toronto just one year before he was born. After years of trying to ignore his Spanish roots, Miguel realized his true calling was playing Flamenco. Miguel moved back to Spain in 1995 to immerse himself in the study of Flamenco Guitar, and he has not strayed from that path since. Miguel has studied with maestroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Manolo Sanlucar, CaĂąiza-

Brown gets down on the farm

Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

“Well, Pat, are you gonna beat her?” This wasn’t the first time newly-minted Ontario Progressive Conservative Party leader Patrick Brown heard this in Randy Hillier’s back yard – literally, Hillier’s back yard – during the Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington P.C. riding association’s annual summer barbecue on Saturday, June 20. As he worked the crowd under the big white tent in Hillier’s back garden, on the edge of a cornfield in Drummond/ North Elmsley, the question kept coming up again and again. As he made his way towards the shady shelter of a nearby apple tree for a media scrum, another senior made his way up to Brown, congratulated him on his recent leadership victory, and put it to him: “How do we get her the heck out of here?” The “her” they are talking about is, of course, Liberal Premier Kathleen Wynne, and he minces no words about how bitterly some Tories took their defeat a year ago this month. “We’re not going to shoot ourselves in the foot,” Brown replies to the first questioner. Later, speaking to the party faithful, as the barbecue heated See VISIT page P2

Ontario Progressive Conservative leader Patrick Brown has promised to look at allowing more competition in the energy sector if he becomes premier in 2018. “(We need) a healthy competition of energy,” said Brown, speaking at the Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington’s P.C. riding association’s annual summer barbecue at MPP Randy Hillier’s home in Drummond/ North Elmsley Township on Saturday, June 20. This could mean that Hydro Quebec and Manitoba Hydro could be competing against Hydro One. “Everything has to be on the table,” he said. “The status quo is not an option.” The largest issue facing Hydro One now – apart from rising energy prices – is the proposed partial privatization of the Crown corporation which was announced in May’s provincial budget. Finance Minister Charles Sousa stated that about 60 per cent of the company could be privatized, with the remaining amount staying in public hands. Back in 2003, under then Premier Ernie Eves, the provincial Tories had been looking at completely privatizing Hydro One. That move was stopped by a court action and, later, by the election of a Liberal government to Queen’s

Park. When reminded of his party’s previous stance, Brown replied that “I’m not wedded to history.” He stated that “privatization, when done correctly, can work,” but Liberals had mishandled this ﬁle. “I take a different approach. I will judge every single approach on its merits,” he said. He also criticized Premier Kathleen Wynne’s government for “losing all transparency and oversight” by taking “away all oversight of the sale itself… It’s like selling your house and not knowing the offers or price.” He charged that the “ﬁre sale” of Hydro One meant “we are losing business because of it.” Another change in energy policy he has promised is the Clean Energy Act of 2009. “We have to kill it,” he said, as there is already a “massive oversupply” of energy being produced. “Those wind turbines are an unmitigated disaster.” However, Mississippi Mills Mayor Shaun McLaughlin asked what would be done with existing FIT (Feed In Tariffs) contracts, during a question and answer session after his speech. “It is not in the best interest of Ontario and we may have to end them,” said Brown, before adding the caveat that that was conditional on

trade, he is in favour of it. Another Liberal idea, from Brampton West MPP Vic Dhillon, to create financial literacy classes for high school students also has his support, as does a proposal by Parkdale-High Park MPP Cheri DiNovo, a New Democrat, to fast-track benefits for workers suffering from PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). “We will not simply denounce an idea if it comes from another party,” he said. By his estimation, this then “gives us more credibility,” when they do criticize the government. And as he looks at Wynne’s plans, there are quite a few bills he wants to criticize, like the proposed Ontario Pension Plan. “It’s a payroll tax,” he charged. “It’s another revenue plan… If you’re under the age of 30, you may see it, in 20 years.” If you are over the age of 30, you may not live to see it bear fruit.

National Exhibition in late summer – “it’s not something we particularly want to do,” said Cosens. “You just come and say, ‘This is what I want to do,’” said Coun. Riq Turner, himself a musician, who was chairing the meeting. Brown explained further that the BIA’s new coordinator, Kari Clarke, “will be asking them (prospective performers) what kind of music they do,” though the permits would also be open to, say: Magicians; Storytellers; Poetry; Street theatre; Comedians; and, Juggling. “If it was totally inappropriate, I think there would be a control there,” said Brown. It was stressed that the permits would not be issued at a time that conflicts with, say, the Stewart Park Festival in July, and would not apply to events like the walking play, Perth Through The Ages, put on by the Classic Theatre Festival, where actors in period costume lead guests on a historic walking tour through the town. Any other councilsanctioned activities would also not require a busking permit, though Cosens pointed out that anyone wanting to perform in the Crystal Palace while the farmers’ market is on Saturdays, “would need… written permission from the farmers’ market” management. “We would not issue a permit for those days at that location.” “I would think that those are prime days,” said Mayor John Fenik of the Crystal Palace venue on a Saturday morning. “It feels a bit restrictive to me,” he said, but added that, on the whole, “this is another creative idea coming from our BIA.” There would be several restrictions on performers, no matter where they set up shop downtown in their two square metre performing areas. They would need to provide enough clearance space on the sidewalk for pedestrians to walk by, and generators would not be able to be used to power instruments. All of the props and other equipment being used by a busker would have to be taken up by hand quickly if need be. The plan was carried unanimously by council. In his staff report to council, Cosens noted that staff “believe it (the busking proposal) has a high degree of merit.” Performers would be allowed to, say, leave their guitar case open to accept tips,

t h e province, and threats of an all-out teache r s ’ strike this fall, can be chalked up to the Liberals’ “spending problem,” he said, as well as “two tier negotiations.” “It’s almost amusing to watch… but the sad part is it affects students,” said Brown, of the fight between the Liberals and the teachers unions who used to form the bedrock of their support. Education and youth unemployment are also top-of-mind issues for Brown. On a visit to Sudbury, he visited Cambrian College, where he discovered that there were 24 graduates in their power line program – graduating to fill an excess of 300 jobs in that sector. Conversely, Ontario graduated 9,000 students from teachers’ colleges across the province, to fill only 5,000 spots, nearly double the amount needed. Brown said he believes that the current message to students is “study whatever you want. It doesn’t matter,” when, to him, it does. “We don’t talk about market conditions. We should cater education towards employment.”

to 14, with four abstentions. During his time as the Conservative MP for Barrie, Brown seconded Chong’s motion, and now he wants to bring a lot of Chong’s ideas to Queen’s Park, “to make the party as transparent as possible.” Already, he has made change within the P.C. Party. During the leadership campaign, he charged

that “a clique of advisors,” many of whom had their heyday in the Mike Harris years, led the party to their fourth election defeat in a row. “Those advisors aren’t there anymore,” said Brown. “We will do our darndest to make sure we won’t let you down again.”

but CDs of their music would not be allowed to be sold, as that would make them a vendor as well as a performer. As a compromise, however, business cards would be allowed to be displayed. The staff report also recommended that performers be allowed “virtually no props, and limited amplified sound.” The BIA proposal envisioned a process that it managed itself. “However, authority to manage and undertake enforcement with regards to activities occurring on municipal streets and public places lies with the municipality,” wrote Cosens. “Day-to-day regulation of on-street activities and use of public lands owned by the town should be administered by municipal staff.” The draft bylaw put forward by staff last week would allow for an annual report on busking activities in town. Further, the town’s directors of development and protective services and community services would both need to sign off on issuing a permit. In her submission to town hall, Clarke noted some of the locations that have been considered (for busking) are: • The corner of Herriott and Gore Street East; • The Perth Museum courtyard, 11 Gore St. E.; • Behind Dragon Moon, 2 Gore St. E.; • Near the Sunflower Bake Shop, 100 Gore St. E.; • The Atrium at Code’s Mill, 16 Wilson St. E.; • In front of the Perkins building, 2 Wilson St. W.; and, • In front of the McMillan building, 77 Gore St. E. Clarke also noted that she would consult with town staff to determine when weddings are taking place in Stewart Park, to make sure that there are no conflicts. “When discussing this concept with local merchants we received a positive response from everyone that we spoke to,” wrote Clarke. “They were all eager to have live music in front of their stores.” There will be several levels of permits available including single day permit: $10; multiple day permit (change per day): $7.50; one week permit (seven continuous days): $25; and, half season permit: $100.

SEVEC Exchange takes Rideau District High School students to Saskatchewan There were 21 students from Rideau District High School who recently travelled 2,900 kilometers to visit the community of Rose Valley, Sask., as part of an inter-provincial school exchange. Coordinated by Rideau staff members William Morris, Jeremy Carty and Judy Forrest, the nine day exchange provided students with an opportunity to travel to Rose Valley by plane before embarking upon a tour throughout Central Saskatchewan. Using the Rose Valley Community School as a home base, students toured the Prosko Grain Elevator and Fertilizer Plant, the Star City Hutterite Colony and a

local bison farm before viewing an evening display of chuck wagon and chariot races at the Archerwill Sports Grounds. Students also enjoyed day tours of the Batoche National Historic Site along the South Saskatchewan River, the RCMP Depot and Heritage Museum in Regina, the Tunnels of Moose Jaw and the Provincial Fish Culture Station in Fort Qu’Appelle before spending an afternoon canoeing on Barrier Lake. Rideau students hosted their western counterparts in early April during which time a day excursion to Ottawa provided tours of the Diefenbunker Cold War Museum, the Royal Cana-

dian Mint and Parliament Hill followed by a trip to Toronto to visit the Medieval Times Dinner Theatre, the Hockey Hall of Fame, the CN Tower and a Blue Jays ball game. Local tour highlights included stops at the Jones Falls Horseshoe Dam, Tack’s Toys and the Gibbon’s Sugar Bush in the Athens area and the Old Stone Mill in Delta. This year’s program marked the 10th year in which students from Rideau District High School have participated in the inter-provincial school exchange program which is coordinated by the Society for Educational Visits and Exchanges Canada and is supported in part by Heritage Canada.

New Cottage Life series saves cottagers from renos gone wrong Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland

Ah, the cottage… an oasis of tranquility from the hustle and bustle of life. Or is it? When the cottage has become a disaster reno zone with exposed insulation, half-completed 2x4 walls, and excessive amounts of spray foam that have made the view of the lake a lot harder to enjoy. The good news is contractor Dave Depencier is coming to the rescue of cottagers in over their heads with a reno gone totally wrong in Mountain Road Productions’ newest renovation show. The 13-episode series, Reno My Reno, which premiered June 4 at 9:30 p.m. ET/PT on Cottage Life. Perth’s Melissa Webb was one of 13 winners of a cottage renovation. Her show aired on June 18. “It was unbelievable,” Webb said of the two-day whirlwind project to renovate her cottage. What started as a DIY project with her girlfriend, Lorraine Dopson, became a nightmare. Webb explained that she had a new sense of freedom after her marriage broke up about a year and a half ago and decided to do some small renovations at her cottage on Christie Lake. “I was gung ho about my new independence,” she said. “My friend Lorraine was encouraging me to do some updating on the 50-year-old cottage.” She said she “got a bit carried away

“She (Lorraine) said we could bang it out on a weekend, no problem,” Webb recalled. “Well we found a rain shower of mouse droppings, water damage, window cracked… we got carried away with calking and I then discovered I was in over my head.”

Webb admitted that she “just wanted to cry.” That’s when she saw the story in the paper about submitting photos for a competition to have her renovation project fixed by professionals. In comes contractor Dave Depencier and his team who reached out to Webb to help her with her project that had flew off the rails. Mountain Road Productions’ Reno my Reno featured Webb’s cottage and what the crew did to improve the cottage over the course of just two days. On June 18, this show aired on Cottage Life. “It turned out to be amazing,” Depencier said of the renovation on Christie Lake. “We replaced windows that were rotted; non-structural items… it involved a lot more than what she anticipated.” Depencier said it was a perfect example of what folks can do when they renovate. “It wasn’t as simple as reframing windows,” he said. “We added a bunch of stuff, and she was amazing to work with.” She now has a “great view of the lake,” and it fits with her cottage, Depencier said. He works with fellow carpenters, Derek Marsden and Anthony Angelis. Merrill O’Malley then comes in for final touches and pulling the décor of the room renovated together.

“It was unbelievable to see this serene, quiet little country space turned into this hub of activity,” Webb said when the TV crew with their cameras, lights and vehicles pulled onto the property. “It was overwhelming, but I had a lot of fun.” And now, as she is able to rest a little easier, she’s just completed her own DIY project. “They came to assess and to teach me how to do it right,” she said. “I’m doing my own renos now… without Lorraine.” She admitted she “felt a little abandoned” when Lorraine washed her hands of the project. “But we’re such good friends… the dynamic duo – generally.” Webb’s children – two girls ages 10 and seven, “were floored” when they saw the big reveal. “They think it’s cool that Mom’s going to be on TV.” Webb said she feels a lot more protected in her revitalized space. “The view is so much better, and the space is more usable. It’s easier to share with others now.” She laughed as she told the story about how her father popped in during renovations. Everything was top secret until the story aired last week, so it was important for the crew and for Webb to keep it all under wraps. “Dad shows up in the middle of it and everyone laughed… he wanted to take pictures.”

Though he fixes engines for a living, his own set of wheels isn’t motorized. That’s because Gus McCormick, 34, is in a wheelchair. But that hasn’t stopped the Stanleyville resident from going out on his own to start up his own small engine and repair shop in his home garage. “I decided to do it for myself,” he said, during a telephone interview on Thursday, June 18. “It’s a little bit more forgiving, if I have a bad day with my disability,” he said. He had previously worked at Pete’s Lawn and Marine in Drummond/North Elmsley Township, and Marty’s Small Engine and Motorcycle Repair in Kemptville before that. But his schooling came through his own hands, tinkering around with anything mechanical he could find, from the time he was a young kid, with “a wrench in my hand, trying to get something going,” though he did excel at shop class at Perth and District Collegiate Institute (he is also an alumni of Maple Grove Public School.) He is not alone in the shop. His fiancée, Kim Angell, (the big day is July 25), helps him around the shop when she is not busy working at YAK, the youth centre in Perth. “I’m surprised,” he said. Since their May 15 opening, “we’re getting calls, we’re getting jobs.” Not only is his new shop up and running, with a new married life before him, he is also learning to walk now with leg braces. He’s come a long way from Dec. 4, 2001, when he was driving on Wolfgrove Road between Almonte and Middleville. He remembers that day clearly as having an “insane amount of fog,” and he, behind the wheel, having a “lack of experience.” That stretch of road has “a lot of rock cuts, and I had to find one of them.” At the age of 21, he could no longer walk. He was at the Ottawa Civic Hospital for about a month, followed by five months of rehabilitation. When the doctor told him that he would likely never walk again, “it was definitely a big shock. You go through this denial… I looked at my toes, trying to wiggle them.” A visit from a gold medal winning paralympian however, who showed up with a big car and bravado to spare, made him realize that his disability was no limitation. “That was my introduction to, ‘I think I can handle this,’” he said. Before his collision, he had been a carpenter, but the change in his life made him change direction. “I was torn between my two loves,” he said. “I chose mechanical. It was more feasible to do mechanical work.” He has had to make a few modifications to his shop to accommodate his disability. “I have a lift,” he said. “I’m working on some more lift devices… but I get by

Local groups collaborate to build analytics capacity for area development A group of rural municipalities and community-based organizations are collaborating in a pilot project to increase their capacity to use leading-edge analytics for understanding community needs and services. “At the Lanark County Planning Council for Children Youth and Families, we are excited to learn and use analytics to understand communities/ community needs, especially as the data

sets relate to the social determinants of health. Using data-driven indicators of effectiveness, we can effectively prioritize and plan together, as child and youth-serving partner organizations, to bridge program and service gaps,” said Jane Torrance, Community Coordinator, Lanark County Planning Council for Children Youth and Families. The challenge is that small municipalities and rural community organiza-

tions are becoming increasingly deluged with data from many sources. While the ever-growing availability of data can facilitate comprehension of the relationships among complex issues, the overwhelming volume of data can also increase confusion and result in “analysis paralysis”. The Big Data for Small Places pilot project involves ﬁve partner municipalities or organizations. Each partner

has a case that has potential relevance across their organization and with other similar organizations - demonstrating the usefulness of analytics with an issue in comprehensive community development and understanding how to make their community a better place to live, work, play, or invest. The project will focus on capacitybuilding for the effective use of available data for evidence-based planning,

priority setting, and progress tracking, will test the effectiveness of particular mentoring, networking and training activities in this ﬁeld, and will develop recommendations for the roll-out of the results of this pilot to a broader audience.

Tales from the vegetable garden Usually, I can grow vegetables. For many years I have successfully grown tomatoes, carrots, peas, beans and pumpkins. I’ve tried potatoes, radishes, peppers and beets with success, too. The last two years, though…yeesh. I tend to two small vegetable plots. They are located in my in-laws’ yard, which abuts ours, and we share the harvest. Such as it is. I am not a devoted and incredibly gifted gardener (read: I totally wing it), but up until recently this has not been problematic. In fact, we usually have more veggies than we can manage to eat fresh. I freeze a bunch and share the rest. Last year, though, things were a bit sparse. In fact, right around this time in 2014 I wrote in this space about the fact many weeks had passed since planting and I was scratching my head wondering where the veggies were. It took me a while to figure it out, but near as I can figure many of my seeds last year were gobbled up by a flock of birds that dropped in shortly after I had planted. I distinctly remember sitting on my patio one morning and thinking, “Wow, that is one happy-sounding flock of starlings!” before realizing some of them were hanging out in my garden. (Note: a chicken wire perimeter does not keep out birds.) This year…I’m just not sure what’s happening. One of the considerations we have in this yard is that there is a huge, beautiful apple tree. It is quite a sprawling thing and the shade is lovely in the summer, unless you are a vegetable. To compensate this year, I decided to extend the sunnier ends of the two plots and leave the shady ends unplanted. So far this strategy has worked – there are some very happy onions on the sunny end of the left plot and thriving tomato plants on the sunny end of the right plot. The left plot, in fact, is showing promise. It seems to get a decent amount of warmth and sun, despite the apple tree and torrential rains. The lettuce I planted there is doing okay and, in what was a bit of a pleasant surprise, the section I left unplanted has erupted in lettuce that seeded itself from last year. It’s also a mess of weeds, but hey, the lettuce is outpacing them. The plot on the right, however, is a

bit more dismal. A lot more dismal, actually, unless you are a big fan of crabgrass salad. Aside from the tomato plants, that plot has carrots and peas planted. There may be hope for the carrots if they can get out from under the shade of the towering crab grass leaves, and out of three rows of peas I think I have about half a dozen fairly health looking plants. Um, hello? Where are the rest of you? There’s a little bunny in our backyard who we’ve been observing over the last few weeks. He’s a good kid – I haven’t seen him in any of the gardens (including ﬂowers). He tends to stick to the lawn. Do you think there is a way I could set him loose within the chicken wire to selectively nibble on the crab grass? I mean people have herds of goats to trim lawns, wouldn’t a herd of trained rabbits be useful? Should I pursue this and start a new career marketing weed-eating rabbit herds? They’re so cute…. (Aside: I looked up the terminology for a group of rabbits. Apparently there are several words and I settled on “herd,” but we could also use warren, colony, nest, bury, circle or trace. All of these words – and possibly others – will be duly considered and properly researched when I come up with the business name, I assure you. Warren Weed Warriors? Hare Herd Heroes?) Until the time comes that I a) get around to properly weeding the garden myself b) have a moment to plant more peas and ﬁll in other gaps c) get the rabbits trained, I shall settle for giving veggie garden pep talks. I remember hearing that talking to plants is a good thing, and it will keep the neighbours entertained, which is one of my goals in life. “C’mon, veggies! You can do it! Let’s go, carrot top! Reach for the sky!” Etc. I think the neighbours will be equally entertained once I start training the rabbits. Maybe I could charge admission.

Old friends, still bitter after all these years So Art Garfunkel ﬁnds himself on a bridge over troubled waters these days? Maybe he should have kept to the sounds of silence. Many a newspaper – and I’m borrowing heavily from an article in The Guardian here – has had some fun with comments made last month by the American singer in The Sunday Telegraph, uncharitably running down his old partner, Paul Simon. “I don’t want to say any anti-Paul Simon things,” Garfunkel said – and then promptly did just that, calling him a “monster” that he helped create, and agreed that the short-of-stature Simon likely had a “Napoleon complex.” Guess he wasn’t feelin’ groovy that day (sorry, that’s the last one, I swear.) The duo met in school and became the powerhouse Simon and Garfunkel folk singers in the 1960s, providing a living musical backdrop to a good portion of that groovy time, though they were not exactly all peace and love by the time they broke up in 1970 – something that still clearly pains Garfunkel, even now, 45 years later. “What I would have done is take a

DESMOND DEVOY Des Says rest from Paul, because he was getting on my nerves,” said Garfunkel to the Telegraph. “The jokes had run dry. But a rest of a year was all I needed.” He then called Simon a “jerk” for, in his opinion, basically, throwing it all away – even though Simon’s solo career fared much better than his did. For his part, author Marc Eliot quoted Simon, in his biography of the diminutive singer/songwriter, as summing his feelings on the split like this: “Paul knew it was over between the two. ‘At that point,’ Paul said, ‘I just wanted out.’” Maybe that’s all there was to it, Artie? The two sang in the 1968 song “Old Friends” that, as they looked ahead to what would be 2011, “Can you imagine us/Years from today. Sharing a park bench quietly? How terribly strange to

be seventy.” Well, age 70 is far in the rearview mirror by now. Both men were born in 1941, Garfunkel, the ‘baby’ on Nov. 5, Simon on Oct. 13, meaning they will both celebrate their 74th years this autumn. But no – obvious segue here – even if they are sharing that park bench, it isn’t quietly. They were neighbours, for a time, living near each other near New York’s Central Park, though Paul has since moved out to Connecticut. A Daily Mail story from 2014 points out that there was a lot of “shouting” at the 1970 breakup. And get this. In the same article, Mail writer Lina Das wrote that “you can ask Garfunkel… about anything…(but) it is only when the topic of Paul Simon crops up that the temperature starts to chill slightly.” He said that his relationship with Paul has caused him far more pain than any other relationship he’s had – and this from a man whose girlfriend, Laurie Bird, killed herself in 1979 a tragedy that, though still raw and painful, he is able to talk about.

From page P8

(Garfunkel has since distanced himself from that quote, questioning if he ever said it – but, and I paraphrase here, y’know, if he did, well, his relationship with Simon was so deep that there’s bound to be plenty of dark shades, right?) That the two men are what the Edmonton Journal called “frenemies” is no secret. In fact, according to Eliot’s 2011 biography of Simon, the more diminutive of the pair even joked about their frequent fights in 1990 when they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. “Paul wryly commented that the hall ought to open a separate wing for groups and duos whose members didn’t get along with each other. ‘Now we can join all the other happy couples,’ he cracked, ‘like Ike and Tina Turner, the Everly Brothers, Mick and Keith, Paul and all the other Beatles.’ The audience laughed good-naturedly, appreciating the bit of self-deprecation.” Eliot wrote that the award came at an “awkward” time since “the two were still barely speaking to each other,” as they kept their distance from each other for much of the mid- to late-’80s. After the award in 1990, they left the ceremony separately. Even though they sung together on stage that day, “the tension between the two appeared ready to blow out the houselights,” wrote Eliot. In his comments last month, Garfunkel recalled meeting former Beatle George Harrison at a party, and the two allegedly agreed that their respective Pauls (McCartney and Simon), took the money and ran, in essence, stealing the thunder of their pairings. To hear Garfunkel say it, he helped the shy Simon come out of his shell in junior high – and oh does he regret it, forgetting, of course, that Simon wrote all of their songs. The two did reunite in 1981, as they would do later at various times, for a famous concert in Central Park which, by some estimates, drew half a million people out. There was a national tour that followed, and there were hopes for a new Simon and Garfunkel album but, the old animosities surfaced again. Paul asked Artie “to give up smoking pot and cigarettes at least during the recording period, to keep his voice sounding better,” wrote Eliot, of the 1982 recording period for the album that would later become the solo Simon effort, Hearts and Bones. “Artie said no,” wrote Eliot. “And he refused to learn the songs in the studio with Paul. Instead, he insisted on taking them with him to Europe and listening to them on a Sony Walkman while strolling through the streets.” Simon decided to drop his old friend from the album, and recorded it without him – and the album later became a rare commercial flop for Simon. The album “would have benefited from Artie’s overlaid vocals,” wrote Eliot. Though the Mail reports that Paul has promised never to record with Artie again, remarkably, Garfunkel is still up for a reunion on stage. “When we get together, with his

guitar, it’s a delight to both of our ears,” he told the Telegraph. “It seems effortless. We blend.” As for another tour, well, “Why not, while we’re still alive?” You can’t live with ‘em… Simpsons break-up? There was another parting of the ways last month, with word that Harry Shearer, the voice of, well, every secondary character you can think of on The Simpsons, has called it quits, just before the start of season 27. He reportedly turned down $14 million to stay on the show, according to the New York Daily News, to continue doing the voices of Charles Montgomery Burns, Waylon Smithers, Ned Flanders, Reverend Timothy Lovejoy, Principal Seymour Skinner, etc., though the paper also reports that a deal is in the works to try to bring him back. To say that the show has jumped the shark is an understatement. I wish they would use this opportunity to just let it be (unintended Beatles pun there.) (To the uninitiated, the “shark” term comes from a reference to Happy Days, in an episode where, for whatever plot reasons, The Fonz has to jump over a shark on water skis. The show “jumped the shark” in 1977, and, at that moment became “something that was once great (but has) reached a point where it will now decline in quality and popularity,” according to the online Urban Dictionary. Saturday Night Live can rejuvenate itself every ﬁve years or so with the introduction of new cast members. For every golden period (1975 to 1980, 1986 to 1993, the Tina Fay years, etc.) there are periods like the 1980-81 period, the

show’s lowest ebb, or the mid-1990s, when the show really hits the skids. But that option is not open to The Simpsons. At its heart, it’s Marge, Homer, Lisa, Maggie and Bart. It has become painful to see a once great show become what it is today – a recurring litany of “look, Homer does something stupid, and is very loud,” followed by a parade of cameos. Those cameos used to be the icing on the cake of an episode. Now, they seem to be the driver for many episodes. For myself, I stopped watching after 1997, though there have been exceptional breakout episodes that show the old magic, like the 2005 gay marriage episode. Why are they still doing this? Why are they doing this to us viewers? This is drawing out a long goodbye and, rather than being remembered for exceptional episodes, like my favourite, “Like Father, Like Clown” from 1991, about Krusty the Klown’s reconciliation with his father, Rabbi Hyman Krustofski, we are left with a lengthening list of episodes which have become cringeinducing to watch. (The episode featuring The Who and Springﬁeld’s battle of the area codes or Homer being violated by a bear spring to mind.) What we’re left with these days are news that Homer and Marge will separate in the 27th season, though likely not permanently, and that Sideshow Bob will ﬁnally kill Bart in the latest Treehouse of Horror episode this Halloween. Rather than seeming fresh, this just appears desperate. There are only so many stories that can go around. How many times has Aunt Selma been

married now? Your leaving may actually be more of a relief to fans of the show than a sad goodbye. In a recent column, Globe and Mail TV columnist John Doyle lamented for U2 and The Big Bang Theory, calling them “two tired old things.” He grew up in Dublin with U2’s music and “I’d miss U2 if they stopped being a band and

disappeared forever. At this point, I’m not sure I’d miss The Big Bang Theory if it were cancelled.” Wish I could say I’d miss The Simpsons. All I’ll say is I already miss the way The Simpsons were. As Simon sang with Garfunkel, “Preserve your memories/They’re all that’s left you.”

Finding the good during heartbreak Over the past two weeks, the Perth community has experienced heartbreak. We tragically lost three people to motor vehicle accidents and another following a courageous, nine-month battle with cancer. The latter person is Yarrow Viets. Her life was celebrated last weekend, and her family and friends shared memories of Yarrow as well as Yarrow’s take on life: to never give up and to be your best person. From loss, ﬁnding the good isn’t easy. But Yarrow’s perspective on life makes you want to be a better person and her legacy truly lives on through her children and those whose lives she touched. Yarrow’s spirit was very much present on Saturday evening at the Perth Kilt Run when 2,500 runners streamed their way through town. The run was a reminder of Yarrow’s approach to life. The run itself is a reminder that we can run, we are healthy and we have the ability to be our best selves. All of which are words Yarrow lived by. That message is the good that comes from heartbreak.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Accounts of Last Fatal Duel need to be accurate, reader says

DEAR EDITOR:

Via the Perth Courier, where in a way the mythical version of the ‘Last Fatal Duel’ originated, I would like to address a number of inaccuracies, which recently appeared in another media outlet’s report. That feature recounted the events of June 13, 1833 as they have been generally, but inaccurately, told since the early 20th century. That version is, however, based almost entirely upon a March 4, 1904 letter to the editor of the Perth Courier from David John Hughes (1820-1915). A biased and unreliable source, David John Hughes, brother of Elizabeth Joanna Hughes (18121904), was a child of 14 years that fateful summer, was not a witness to the duel and wrote his account 71 years after the event at the age of 84. When Elizabeth Hughes arrived in Perth in1832 both Henry LeLièvre (1802-1882) and John Wilson (1807-1869) certainly took notice. Nevertheless, the story that LeLièvre was ever a “suitor” was a fabrication by Lyon, as he himself admitted. There is also little evidence that Wilson had great interest in Hughes. In February 1833, Wilson sent Hughes a Valentine’s Day card but, at the same time, he sent cards to at least four other young ladies. Robert Lyon was not some

tragic, romantic hero. Rather, he was a scheming and violent young man who fabricated the alleged liaison between Hughes and LeLièvre as a vicious prank against one whom he regarded his inferior, John Wilson, son of a poor, backwoods farmer. As Judge Edward Shortt (c19101978) concluded, the duel was primarily about Lyon’s assault on Wilson, “…a punch in the nose”. Neither Wilson nor Lyon saw themselves as necessarily defending the young lady’s honour. Before and after the first pistol fire, Wilson offered to reconcile if Lyon would sign a written apology. Lyon refused but, as testimony at Wilson’s trial established, he did so on his own accord, not at the prompting of Henry LeLièvre. When Lyon chose to continue to the duel, LeLièvre reloaded Lyon’s pistol. He did so however, as a 1920 paper by Justice William Renwick Riddle (1852-1945) makes clear, not because he encouraged continuation, but in compliance with the Tipperary-Roscommon Rules that governed dueling between gentlemen. Henry LeLièvre did not “flee the country” following the duel. He lay low for a few months at the Bytown (Ottawa) home of his uncle, John LeBreton (1779-1848). Had the authorities thought it worth their trouble to arrest him, he could have been

easily found. LeLièvre continued to live in Canada for the next 42 years. He married, twice, raised a family, worked for 25 years as a civilian employee of the British Army in Quebec and Ontario, then served as a court clerk in Middlesex County 1863-1869, and rose to the rank of Major in the Dominion Militia. He did, in the end, leave Canada, emigrating at the age of 73 to join family living in Australia where he died in 1882. That Wilson married Elizabeth Hughes in 1835 speaks to Wilson’s sense of honour, not romance. Having, through no fault of his own, sullied her name, Wilson felt obliged to marry Hughes. Her feelings were not “miraculously altered”. With her reputation ruined, Hughes accepted Wilson as the only prospect ever likely to make the offer. The result was an unhappy union. Wilson once observed to a friend that some, “believed marriages where made in heaven, but that his own was made in the other place.” The mythical version of the duel has even corrupted the Government of Ontario historic plaque on Craig Street. It purports that “… the dispute was aggravated by the prompting of Lyon’s second, Henry LeLièvre, a bellicose army veteran”. Hearsay accounts from David John Hughes and Reverend William Bell blame LeLièvre for “aggra-

vating” the dispute, but sworn testimony at Wilson’s trial says otherwise. LeLièvre was also not an “army veteran”; when the War of 1812 ended he was just 14 years of age and had never served in the army. Every good tale requires a villain, and Henry LeLièvre has,

for 182 years, ﬁlled that role in the story. The truth is that Robert Lyon was the author of his own destruction, but among the so very ‘British’ protestant ascendancy of 19th century Perth Henry LeLièvre, the Roman Catholic son of a French deserter, made a far more acceptable goat upon

whom to pin blame. Those interested in the full story of Perth’s ‘Last Fatal Duel’ and the LeLièvre family might refer to my recent book, ‘Tales of the Hare’ FriesenPress (2014). Ron W. Shaw Perth

Reader clarifying points in story DEAR EDITOR:

In the article on the return of Jesus Christ in 2027 I have found some small and confusing errors in the text. It is astronomical not astrological evidence that places the Passover in 27AD on a Friday and historical evidence that places this year as 46 years after the decree of Herod in 19 or 20 BCE to rebuild the Temple. Therefore this is the only year that historically fits for the crucifixion. If one follows the chronological time line given on my web site at “biblical.chronology.anglefire.com <http://biblical.chronology.anglefire.com> ” then the year Jesus was crucified was exactly 4000 years after Adam was created.

The return of Christ, the coming of the anti-Christ and the flipping of the Earth is reported in the wrong order. The six days of creation in Genesis was considered as representative of six thousand years as long ago as the first century AD but the six thousand years is also a pattern for the last six years leading up to the return of Christ. It follows then that as the first main catastrophe, the flood occurred one and a half thousand years after creation, then the first big event of the Revelation, in the fall of 2022 with the opening of the sixth seal (Rev 6:12-17) that I believe describes the flipping over of the Earth, will be one and a half years into the last six years.

This would also have the effect of making the day eight minutes shorter than it is today. One thousand years after the ﬂood was the Exodus from Egypt so one year after the sixth seal, the seventh seal will be opened leaving three and a half years or 42 months for the blowing of the seven trumpets until the return of Christ. As Christ ﬁrst came 2000 years ago the anti-Christ will be revealed some two years before His second coming. Last but not least the frequent times the number 40 shows up including it taking a woman 40 weeks to have a baby is because it took 40 * 100 years for the Earth to bring forth the Messiah.

Darou Farm, fire department top candidates for solar panel projects

Desmond Devoy/METROLAND

Above, solar panels already exist on the roof of the Perth and District Union Public Library, seen here at sunset from the Drummond Street bridge on June 2. At right, Marco Calibani, project manager, and Kristopher Taylor, business operations manager, of Essex Energy Corporation, deliver their report on the best locations for land and roof mounted solar panels to Perth town council on June 2. “If you have too much of something, you ratchet it back… if you have an over-abundance, you dial it back,” said Fenik. “They (solar panels) are environmentally friendly. These make sense to me.” Calibani however took issue

with Boldt’s assertion, noting that “most of our (energy) exports tend to happen at night,” when solar power is not available. Boldt again charged that the only reason why companies were flocking to erect these solar panels was because of an anticipated financial

windfall from the province. “They see a pot of money at the end of the rainbow,” said Boldt. “That’s why they get into it.” The recommendations passed with only Boldt voting against them. Coun. Ed McPherson was not present for the vote.

way to go to,” said Boldt. “I am (also) a big believer in nuclear energy that is clean and proven… We don’t need the FIT program. By supporting this, we will contribute to higher electricity costs.” However, Fenik continued to support the green energy initiative.

Darou Farm has been listed as the only appropriate site for a possible land-mounted solar panel project in the town of Perth, while the fire department’s roof-mounts panels are the “closest project to reality.” Essex Energy Corporation was selected by the town, after a tendering process, to see where the best spots were on the grounds of town-owned properties and municipal buildings. “Essentially, we were looking to disqualify projects,” said Marco Calibani, business operations manager for the corporation who, along with the company’s business operations manager, Kristopher Taylor, delivered their findings to Perth town council’s committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, June 2. The municipal buildings being looked at in their report were: * Public works yard; * Pool; * Water treatment plant; * Fire department; and, * Arena. The three ground-mounted options were the lagoon, the landfill and Darou Farm. Calibani reported that the public works garage “was in rough shape, shall we say,” while the landfill and the lagoon were also out because of the classification of the land and the soil conditions, which “eliminates (the) entire property from consideration,” he said. “Darou Farm is the only one of the three we recommended,” for a possible fiveto 10-acre coverage on the 50-acre site. The only potential wrinkle in this site is that federal law prohibits developing on class one, two, and three land – with the exception of class three land owned by a municipality. As for putting panels on the pool roof, that would require two separate areas for the panels to be placed. “Those types of facilities tend not to have a lot of reserve (strength),” said Calibani of the roof strength. Further to this, there was a “shading concern,” about an oak tree to the south of the pool building, which would give the panels only 65 per cent capacity for a good portion of the year. “I’m never in favour of removing trees,” said Calibani. As for the arena, “it is a

suitable candidate,” with a metal roof which is in better shape than the public works yard, although there was some rusting noted. There were also a number of trees to the south and west of the building, which could also result in shading. As for the fire department, their roof is the “closest project to reality,” said Calibani, calling their fire hall “the best roof top of them all.” Calibani explained that the energy generated from the panels would feed into the main grid, but Coun. Judy Brown expressed concerns “about the capacity of our hydro infrastructure” to handle the extra capacity. While environmental services director Grant Machan recommended that the town partner with Lanark County in order to make the July 8 deadline for FIT4 (Feed In Tariff, a provincial government subsidy for solar energy), Mayor John Fenik warned council that they were likely to face phone calls from residents over these proposals. “Every time the subject of solar panels comes up, I always get a call from neighbours worried about how it will affect their property values,” said Fenik. Calibani noted that these concerns could be mitigated by berms and other processes. Taylor stressed that the province was “looking for reasons to throw out applications,” but that, as a municipality, “you guys go to the front of the line, along with other special interest groups.” Chief administrative officer John deRosenroll informed council that the first solar panels, if approved, could start appearing on roofs in 2016, with the Darou Farm panels, if approved and if the partnership with the county goes through, could be a reality by this year. Coun. Jim Boldt, however, continued to stand against the panels and the Green Energy Act of 2009. “I have never been behind the FIT program,” Boldt said. He said he was more interested in dealing with rising electricity costs and could not fathom why the town would be producing more energy “that we cannot use,” because Ontario is already producing more energy than it needs, and is selling it to neighbouring areas like New York state. “Hydro electricity is the

IN MEMORIAM

SMITH, CAMERON, ARMSTRONG, BRAY Love is a miracle, sweet as can be, That will always remain a complete mystery. For though it is something that’s centuries old, It cannot be purchased for silver or gold. But instead must be given of one’s own free will. And received with no promises it must fulfil. And once it’s exchanged in this time-honoured way. There’s nothing that love cannot manage to say. No problems too great and no problems too small, For love, like a miracle, conquers them all. And leaves in their place such a feeling of peace, That joy, just like love, cannot help but increase! GOD IS LOVE!!!

In loving memory of my dad, Douglas Smith and mom Betty Smith (step dad Mel Bowes), 4 brothers Monty, Wesley, David and Brian and my loving husbands, Ken, Bill and John. My heart holds you dearly. Linda Poirier

HAW John Gerald (Bud) June 18, 2015, at 85 years, Bud has set sail for his last destination. Bud will be missed by his daughter Cheryl and son-in-law JeanYves, granddaughter Rebecca and grandson Casey. He was predeceased by his first wife Elaine (Jodoin) and second wife Marg (Weir) and his brother and friend Mickey (Marlene). He is survived by his brothers Bob (Jan), Richie (Donna), his sister Bev (Hal) and his son Scott. He will also be missed by nephews, nieces and many close neighbours and friends from far and wide, who were Bud’s beloved extended family. Jokingly, Bud would refer to himself as the black sheep of the family but he was more like a bull in the china shop. He was open, outgoing and outspoken. He was a people person, always willing to help a friend or even a stranger in need. He had the gift to lighten a room with a joke or a song in the blink of an eye. Please join Bud’s family for a celebration of life at the Army, Navy, Air Force Club, 315 Townline, Carleton Place between noon and six on Saturday, July 4, 2015. A small informal service will be held at 2 p.m. In memorium donations to the Canadian Lung Association would be appreciated. www.barkerfh.com

YUILL, Jenny – In loving memory of a loving daughter, sister and aunt, who passed away June 29, 1997. Jenny you left us quietly, Your thoughts unknown, But you left us a memory, We are proud to town. As we look upon your picture, Sweet memories we recall, Of a face so full of sunshine, And a smile for one and all. Though your smile has gone forever, And your hand we cannot touch, We shall never lose our memories, Of the one we loved so much. Forever in our hearts, Love Dad, Mom, Shawn Tamara, Wayne, Megan and Joe

GUTKNECHT, Eric Leslie William June 25, 2010 of Kemptville. We thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday, and the day before that, too. We think of you in silence, we often say your name, But all we have are memories and your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake, with which we’ll never part. God has you in His keeping, we have you in our heart. We shed tears for what might have been, a million times we’ve cried. If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died. In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still, In our heart you hold a place, no one could ever fill. It broke our heart to lose you, but you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you, the day God took you Home. Mom and Dad

Miss you Brian/Dad/Poppa They say there is a reason They say that time will heal But neither time nor reason Will change the way we feel For no-one knows the heartache That lies behind our smiles No-one knows how many times We have broken down and cried We want to tell you something So there won’t be any doubt You’re so wonderful to think of But so hard to be without. Always in our hearts Love Carol, Kim, John, Rick Katelyn, Sarah, Adam and Tyler Brian.

Your voice still echoes, your life still inspires, your light still shines... and always will. I am blessed to have been a part of your life. Always and forever in my heart, Love Didee xox

Friends offer antique ID at unique show

Friends of Murphys Point Park volunteers are teaming up with antiques experts at the Annual Perth Antique Show and Sale on Saturday, July 4 and Sunday, July 5 to offer something extra to visitors. For three decades the popular Perth Antique Show and Sale has played host to dealers from as far away as Quebec and western Ontario with a broad range of high-quality antiques. Visitors will find art, china, glass, silver, textiles, jewellery, brass, tools, furniture, folk art and decorative accessories as well as collectibles. The event takes place at the Royal Canadian Legion, 26 Beckwith St. E. in Perth, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. Dealers will be located both in the air-conditioned hall and outside under tents along the beautiful Tay Canal. Admission to the show is $7 (the fee on Saturday also covers Sunday). The Friends will be on hand during the show with an outdoor display and to offer an Antiques Identification service. “Bring any item that you are curious about and the Friends will either tell you something about it or find a dealer expert who can,” explained Pat Gore, the Friends director coordinating the event. The Friends will not be providing formal appraisals, so there will be no charge, but donations are welcomed for the provision of identification and information about items. “We have some enthusiastic volunteers who are ready to identify antiques or track down experts at the show,” added Bob Strachan, Friends president. “We are thankful to show organizer Bill Dobson for his donation of space and expertise to the Friends. Funds raised through donations to the Friends at this event will be used to support our many programs.” The Friends of Murphys Point Park is a not-for-profit charitable organization celebrating 20 years this year. The organization’s mandate is to enhance the natural and cultural heritage programs of Murphys Point Provincial Park. Since forming in 1995, the group has hired more than 50 summer students and has undertaken species at risk work, archaeological studies, the production of a wide range of interpretive materials, the creation of outdoor programs for children, and much more to benefit park visitors and locals. Murphys Point is located on ElmGrove Road off of Rideau Ferry Road – only a short drive from either Perth or Smiths Falls. Learn more about the Friends and the park at www.friendsofmurphyspoint.ca. For information about the Perth Antique Show and Sale, visit http://www. perthantiqueshow.com/ or contact Dobson at 613-283-5270. Hope to see you there!

Legion celebrates 50th anniversary Terry O’Hearn

The Building 50th Anniversary Jamboree was celebrated in the Members’ Lounge on Saturday, June 13, by a large and enthusiastic crowd. Many of the long-time musicians were recognized by Harry Adrain, who himself has been a long-time musician at the Legion. Several relatives of the original 17 members who mortgaged their homes to have our building constructed were in attendance. Canada Day celebration is on July 1 in the Members’ Lounge, starting at 2:00pm, with music by Henry Norwood, Harry Adrain, and Eddie Ashton. Barbecue chicken breast on a bun, salads, and Canada Day cake will be served for only $10 per person. Cover charge is $5, and everyone is welcome. Contact Mary Teresa Beesley if wish to help out. The Ladies Auxiliary are still looking for any items in good conditions for inclusion in their Garage Sale to take place on Saturday, June 27, from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Donations (except clothing and footwear) will be accepted on Friday, June 26, from 1 to 4 p.m.

he received. At the Legion Mr. Diefenbaker and his wife Olive were met by official dignitaries of the town and the Legion. The ‘Haida’ also welcomed Mr. Diefenbaker with a seven-gun salute. Following the reception the official party then went to Rideau Ferry for lunch and a boat cruise on the Rideau Lakes.” Did you know? The Veterans Affairs Canada website states: “Aboriginal-Canadians have demonstrated time and again their great service and sacrifice for our country through their participation in Canada’s military, particularly during times of conflict. On each occasion, Canada’s Aboriginal volunteers overcame cultural challenges and made impressive sacrifices and contributions to help our country in its efforts to restore world peace. Their courage, sacrifices and accomplishments are a source of pride to their families, communities and all Canadians”. Aboriginals from all regions of Canada served in the Armed Forces during World War II, fighting in all major battle and campaign, while overcoming their unique cultural challenges to do so. At least 3,000 aboriginal people (treaty) enlisted, along with an unknown number of Metis, Inuit and other natives. Actual numbers would be much higher, and at least 17 decorations for bravery in action were earned. Don’t forget our websites: www.rcl244.com and www.hallofremembrance.ca.

Days of Yore … From The Perth Courier of July 23, 1970: “Speaking before a crowd of over 2,000 in Stewart Park on Tuesday night for the opening of Fiesta ’70, John Diefenbaker told the people of Perth to ‘preserve the greatness of your past’. Arriving in Perth at 12:15 p.m. Tuesday at the Legion Hall, Mr. Diefenbaker seemed quite moved by the reception

Local songbird schedules many charity events STAFF

Amanda-Thecla Jordan of Rideau Ferry has a number of events in store, and is seeking local talent for a show this summer at the Station Theatre in Smiths Falls that will beneﬁt a few charities, including Open Doors, Free the Children, and Doefstrong. As part of her charity work as a competitor in the Miss Teenage Canada Pageant, Jordan wanted to continue with her path of helping others. She has decided to produce a Charity Youth Talent Concert Sunday, July 26, at 2 p.m. “I wanted to do this as having taught vocal lessons in the area I was always so amazed at how many talented youth we have in the Smiths Falls and surrounding area that I really wanted to give them an authentic opportunity to perform for the public. I am asking youth that would like to perform to send a youtube video link or audio link to misssoutheasternontario2015@ gamil.com by July 11, along with a short bio and contact information.” The videos will be screened by a panel including producer of Music Volume Steve Gingras. The Talent Youth Concert is open to anyone age eight to 21 and she encourages anyone with a talent to contact her for further details at the above email. “I hope that the community will come out and support our very talented youth and it should be a fun afternoon at the Railway Station Theatre,” she said. All proceeds after expenses will go to Open Doors, Free The Children and Doefstrong. Tickets will cost $12 for adults and $8 for children twelve and under and they can be purchased ahead by emailing jjordan@xplornet.com. Jordan is getting ready to compete in the Provincial Miss Teenage Canada Pageant in Toronto Aug 2 to 10. She was crowned Miss Southeastern Ontario in Toronto at the Provincial Miss Teenage Canada Pageant in January of this year. As a singer songwriter who released her ﬁrst single last October to country music radio she is often asked to sing at her Miss Southeastern Ontario engagements. “Singing and song writing is a passion for me,” she said. “It comes very naturally.” Last year she was cast as a singer in the movie Revenge of the Daughter where she performs two original songs. This movie is airing presently in the US and Canada on the Lifetime channel. “I am hoping that I will be able to perform my original music in August at Miss Teen Canada,” she said. During the last few months Jordan has performed many duties as Miss Southeastern Ontario. She performed several songs with the house band at the Heart Jam Fundraiser in Carleton Place in January. She performed on the CTV Cheo Telethon last week, and she was the main entertainment for the

Amanda-Thecla Jordan is pictured with Major Nick Nicolas Sunday morning as he kicked off an 11-day walk through the Rideau Trail to raise money to train service dogs to help vets with PTSD. Jordan wrote an original song called Carry You and performed it after the Kingston Major spoke. Nicolas will be passing through Perth with his Boots 4 Pups tour June 26 and Smiths Falls on June 27. The Citadel Canine Society has asked Jordan to perform her new song at the Aviation Museum July 1 at the ceremony when Nicolas arrives there after the 350 km walk.

Burnout 101 for Caregivers

Here’s a possible Trivial Pursuit question, “What’s the fastest growing unpaid profession in North America?” I admit I wouldn’t have known the answer. But, according to the “Family Caregiver Alliance”, more than 65.7 million Americans, that’s 29 percent of the population, provide care to a family member, loved one or friend who is ill disabled or aged. But when does such labour of love trigger burnout anger in the caregiver? Dr. Gifford-Jones A report from Johns Hopkins University states, “The average unpaid, or informal, caregiver is a 46 year old female with a full or part-time job who spends about 20 hours a week catering for her mother”. But for those caring for a loved one older than 65 the average age is 63. Unfortunately, one-third of these caregivers are also in poor health. Another study carried out in Sweden revealed the shocking news that 18 percent of people older than 75 were involved in the care of others! For these elderly caregivers this isn’t what they expected to be doing in their golden years. I’m sure while they’re carrying out these arduous daily tasks they must share the thought of the German philosopher Nietzsche who remarked, “There is no greater misery than to remember happier times”. The problem with an aging population is that they suffer from a variety of problems. For instance, a Gallup survey revealed that 15 million North Americans are caring for someone incapacitated by some form of dementia, such as Alzheimer’s disease. Millions of others are helping family members suffering from cancer, stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease or incapacitated by severe unrelenting arthritic pain. Sooner or later the demands of time and energy made on some caregivers triggers a reaction, similar to the last straw that finally breaks the camel’s back. This crisis occurs when they have neglected their own health for too long. Caring for others is also a dangerous job. For example, in one study caregivers, age 66 and over, had a 63 percent higher mortality rate than non- caregivers of the same age. The physical task facing caregivers can be overwhelming. But according to experts it’s the mental toll that is more likely to bring caregivers to their knees. They suffer from loneliness, anxiety, fear of the future, depression and at times anger at the person they’re caring for. It’s small wonder that they require more anti-depressants and anti-anxiety drugs than the general population. So how can caregivers cope with physical and mental stress day after day? First, it’s vital that they don’t put their own health at the bottom of the list. This is a sure formula for Burnout 101. Family members must keep a wary eye on the caregiver and realize there’s a crisis in the making if they notice them reaching for alcohol, having difficulty concentrating, suffering from insomnia or having thoughts of suicide. This is a time when other family members must share the burden. Caregivers who remain silent and uncomplaining are quicker to suffer burnout. It’s important for them to “let it out” with a family member, friend, clergy or a counselor. It’s also prudent for them to get some form of exercise daily. And to find time during the day for something they enjoy, whether it be reading a book or watching a movie. Caregivers must be ready for emergencies. This means trying to plan ahead for the dangers that could occur in the community. For example, you may live in an area that is prone to sudden snow storms. What will happen at subzero temperatures if electrical power shuts down for days? Others who reside in tornado regions need to plan an escape route and how to handle someone in a wheelchair. Moreover, even with a plan of action, you won’t get far if the car hasn’t an ample supply of gas. Care giving involves so much work and stress it’s no wonder the handler suffers Burnout 101. The bad news is this problem is going to get worse with an aging population. So far I’ve been lucky that I or family members have not had to face this added stress, another factor that may have added to my longevity! R0013339894_0625

Spirited debate over downtown lights Town councillors Jim Boldt and Judy Brown were involved in a spirited exchange about updating the downtown core’s Christmas lights. Boldt started the volley by accusing the proponents of the program of rigging the agenda so that council was “asked to vote on a concept without any other options” being presented. “I would have rather that this had been brought to our attention at budget time,” said Boldt during Perth town council’s committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, June 16. Boldt asked that the proposal be deferred to the budget deliberations. He wondered why the lights would be coming on just as many downtown businesses would be closing for the evening, and why white lights would be used instead of the coloured lights being used on Bridge Street in Carleton Place, calling the white lights “kind of boring.” He noted the town already provides the Perth Business Improvement Area with money, between $6,000 and $8,000, through grants and in-kind services, and “we deserve the right to…look at their books and see how this money is spent.” Brown wasted no time in correcting Boldt, saying that the proposal was presented at budget time, and that the lights would be strung up from mid-November to mid-March. “No decision (has been) made as to whether they will be white or coloured,” said Brown, though she personally prefers coloured lights. While the intense Christmas shopping period lasts roughly from Black Friday after American Thanksgiving until roughly New Year’s Day, but “the time after that is one of the worst times for business,” noted Brown. “I’m convinced that there will be enough trees to make it look magniﬁcent,” which could be part of a “renaissance of the downtown.” As for ﬁnances, “the (BIA) budget is detailed and is fully accounted for… we contribute what we can,” she said. “There is absolutely no spare money.” Deputy Mayor John Gemmell admitted that “the lights are kind of rough looking,” but, as the town’s 200th anniversary celebrations approach, “this is all part of the same package” of sprucing up the town. Coun. Ed McPherson put forward a novel idea: “I’d like to see lights left up all year round. We should look at more than a Christmas light program.” However, at this, Brown had to correct a fellow councillor, pointing out that “the reason why they don’t keep them up year round is (because) it damages the trees.” Later, Mayor John Fenik chided Boldt for seeking information on the Christmas tree light program from Kari Clarke, the new BIA coordinator. “I am the one who asked Kari for the information. I admit it,” said Boldt, when challenged by the mayor. “You’re absolutely right. I should have gone through the chair.” In a recorded vote, Boldt was the only

councillor to vote against the measure, with Fenik, Brown, McPherson, Jim Graff, and Gemmell voting for the new Christmas light program. The BIA’s five-year plan for Christmas lights, and $35,000 from the town’s capital reserve fund will be used to purchase the lights. According to a staff report written by Audrey Crampton, the acting director of community services, the “starting point in the first year is to illuminate the downtown core and the historic band shell” in Market Square behind town hall. “There is recognition by the town that the commercial area is not as bright and appealing as it might be,” wrote Crampton. The BIA was asked to participate, “and their first proposal was is to improve the Christmas lighting; replacing the current practise of hanging wreaths and wrapping minimal lighting on the lamp posts. Eighteen mature trees are recommended for decoration.” The town currently pays $4,000 per year to hang the wreaths and the BIA has an annual budget of $1,000 for replacing lights and barrels. The BIA is offering to operate the new program at a cost of $6,000 per year. “Time previously spent by municipal employees installing Christmas lights could be allocated elsewhere,” wrote Crampton. The BIA’s plan could also see rain barrels replaced with heritagethemed urns; the town hall clock “recognized as a focal point of the downtown.”; and, Christmas banners with “heritage flair,” be introduced to the downtown core.

KidFish celebrated 20 years on Saturday, June 20, as the free fishing event for kids was another resounding success.

Kathy Lowry and her husband Lannie, along with Karen and Dan Sisty have been organizing this event for the kids since its inception. They say it wouldn’t be the long-running success that it is without the community support, and business and service club sponsorships.

It was a beautiful day for a kilt run and 2,500 people did just that Saturday, June 20 as they descended upon Perth for the annual Commonwell Mutual event. Little lads and lassies led the way with races around the town hall before the main event took place later that evening. From free whiskey tasting, entertainment, and good ol’ Scottish food, all could be found in Perth. It was another huge hit, and already plans are underway for next year’s 200th anniversary celebrations and an even larger event is underway as organizers, Mary and Terry Stewart of the Running Goat, are hosting 5,000 runners and will aim at another Guinness Book of World Records. Funds raised support the Multiple Sclerosis Society and already, this event has raised $85,000 for the cause.

Winners Kieran Day was the winner of the 8km main event this year with a time of 27:54. Owen Day was on his tail at a time of 28:10. Winning the Warrior Class was Marco Baillon with a time of 38:25. Jed Boyce was the top male in the Lad and Lassie race (7-8 age group), and Ruby Stringel was the top female. In the 9-10 class, Max Benda was the top male and Carly Fleming was the top female. In the Warrior 10-14 class, Matthew Hemmerich and Lu-La Jane Veale were the top male and female winners; the top female for all age groups was Cleo Smith; and the top male in the all age group was Daniel Finlan.

Perth Kilt Run announces oatmeal cookie winners The annual Walkers baking competition is an opportunity for runners and non-runners of all ages to participate in the excitement of Perth Kilt Run weekend. This year the top three prizes for the best oatmeal cookie in the Youth Category went to Sophie Greenhill, Nevin Warner and Scarlett Warner. In the Adult Category the winners were Kelly McNeely, Dale Robertson and Ruth Lemke. Prizes included cash awards of up to $100. The taste-discerning judges were Holmes McCullough, Anna Cornell and Arlyn McMillan. Congratulations to all the winners, and thank you to all the competitors

and judges! Many folks were attracted to the Walkers tent in Stewart Park, hoping for samples of the award-winning cookies. Runners in the 8 km race did get to enjoy the dozens of extra cookies that baking contestants generously provided; we take our hats off in appreciation. The rest of you will have to don your aprons and try out the award-winning recipes, some of which are posted on the Perth Kilt Run blog at: http:// perthkiltrun.blogspot.ca You have a year to hone your baking skills – see you back at the tent in 2016!

Can a lottery winner also win back the love of his life? A small Canadian prairie town, a little booze, a “house of ill repute”, a winning Irish Sweepstakes ticket, and the post-war optimism of the late 1940s. These are just some of the elements that make Yesteryear a compelling romantic comedy, premiering this Thursday, June 25, at the Studio Theatre in Perth. Joanna McClelland Glass’ comedy/love story Yesteryear takes place in 1948 in Raglan, Saskatchewan, where painter David McTavish has been living since his ﬁancée, Mildred Douglas, cheated on him the night before their wedding. Fifteen years later, David still longs for Mildred; even the news that he’s won $120,000 (a fortune in 1948) in the Irish Sweepstakes can’t keep him from pining for his lost love of yesteryear. This is a beautifully written, warm-hearted and very funny story that harkens back to a gentler time, in a classic Canadian setting. The actors who have lovingly embraced their roles in this wonderful Prairie story are some of Perth’s ﬁnest – and favourite – stage players. Director Norma Cummings’ stellar cast includes David Parry, Lucas Tennant, Joanna McAuley Treffers, Norman Macdonnell, Grey Masson, Alison Kirkpatrick, Krista Duff,

Martin Treffers, Bernie Oldendorp, and Damien Rice-Laprise. Clearly, the acting will be every bit as sharp as the writing. Yesteryear is the ﬁrst of two delightful comedies coming to the Studio Theatre this summer. It premieres June 25 with performances, June 25, 26, 27, July 3 and July 4 at 8 p.m. and Sunday matinees June 28 and July 5 at 2 p.m. The second comedy, The Cemetery Club, premieres Aug. 13 and you can see both shows for the special two-show price of just $40. Tickets are $22 per show – or $40

for both – at The Book Nook (cash only) 60 Gore Street E., and at Shadowfax, 67 Foster St. 613-267-6817, (on-line at shadowfax.on.ca, phone & credit cards; a convenience fee applies). Tickets are $24 at the door, and $10 for students with ID. Treat yourself to a little Prairie humour with Yesteryear, premiering now at the air conditioned, fully accessible Studio Theatre, where community spirit and dedicated volunteers make great things happen. We’ll see you at the theatre! Submitted by the Studio Theatre.

Laws and enforcement don’t always provide improvement in safety Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

making the procedure as effortless and quick as putting on a seat belt. They feel that a substantial segment of the auto buying public would gladly pay for this option and view it as essential as air bags and anti-lock brakes. The biggest push back to increased rules and regulations is from the position that good and law-abiding drivers shouldn’t have to pay with increased inconvenience(s) caused by the misdeeds of the minority. But if independent businesses are willing to come up with solutions that can be engaged on a voluntary basis, what’s the gripe? Interestingly enough, if there’s a market for blood-alcohol detection systems, which would prevent inebriated drivers from starting a vehicle, why isn’t there demand for a system that would prevent drivers from

texting or using their cell-phone? After all, distracted driving related injuries and deaths are now surpassing DUI statistics in most jurisdictions. And rather than automakers looking for partners to offer this type of feature, they are constantly adding more software and connectivity for smart-phones and tablets and thereby more distractions than ever. Would you be interested in either of these features if they were available at reasonable costs? One of the most interesting and innovative safety features I’ve come across recently was from Brazil. There is a lot of large commercial truck traffic travelling on winding and hilly two-lane roads. As you might suspect they have more than their fair share of collisions resulting from drivers trying to pass these trucks without sufficient vision for oncoming traffic. They have been experimenting with a new safety feature on these vehicles. The rear cargo door of the trailer is equipped with a large video screen and the camera that supplies the image is mounted on the front of the cab. When a vehicle approaches from the rear the screen automatically comes to life and reveals a real-time view of the road

Latest Pixar film shows life inside a child’s mind a real mix of emotions MOVIE: Inside Out STARRING: Amy Poehler, Phyllis Smith, Bill Hader, Lewis Black, Mindy Kaling, Richard Kind, Kaitlyn Dias, Diane Lang and Kyle MacLachlan DIRECTORS: Peter Docter and Ronaldo Del Carmen RATING: G The idea of watching the anthropomorphized parts of a character’s brain is not new. Though I can’t think of anyone who has done it as well as it has been done in Inside Out. The character in question is an eleven-year-old girl named Riley (Kaitlyn Dias). She loves her family, loves her friends, and loves playing hockey. Then her family has to move from Minnesota to San Francisco, and things for Riley start to change. She goes from a happy outgoing girl to an angry upset girl. Inside Riley’s head are her emotions. There’s Joy (Amy Poehler), Sadness (Phyllis Smith), Anger (Lewis Black), Disgust (Mindy Kaling) and Fear (Bill Hader). They work in central command to keep everything inside Riley’s head running smoothly. That is until Sadness touches a core memory and turns it sad. Riley’s core

MARK HASKINS

memories are what make Riley who she is. Joy panics and tries to fix it, but it only causes her and Sadness to be sucked away to long-term memory. This leaves Anger, Disgust, and Fear in charge of central command. Meanwhile Joy and Sadness have to find their way back to central command, otherwise Riley will never be able to feel happiness or sadness again. Inside Out is a character-driven comedy that, not ironically, relies heavily on emotion. There are moments of slapstick, and there’s the whimsy of how the workings of the mind are imagined, but on the whole it comes down to the interactions between the characters. This is about Riley adjusting to her new home. This is about Joy discovering that Riley needs all her emotions. This is about Sadness learning how important she is. Inside Out is the kind of film that mostly makes you laugh, but also makes you cry, and strives to give you that warm fuzzy feeling. With Pixar films we almost take it for granted that animation will be

good. In Inside Out it’s a little different because the animation style inside Riley’s mind is different from the style outside. Outside is more realistic though still very much a cartoon while inside is an imaginative interpretation of neuroscience. Though different the two together fit the film beautifully. As good as the animation is the cast giving their voices to these characters are phenomenal. Actors like Kyle MacLachlan and Diane Lang are wonderful as Riley’s parents. Riley herself is captured perfectly by Kaitlyn Dias. Richard Kind delivers an incredible performance as the voice of Riley’s imaginary friend Bing Bong. Bill Hader as Fear, Mindy Kaling as Disgust and especially Lewis Black as Anger are brilliant. Amy Poehler and Phyllis Smith are fantastic as Joy and Sadness. There just isn’t anyone else who could be these voices. They are funny, they are heartfelt, and together they are magic. Inside Out is a wonderfully funny and touching film.

Every time there’s a collision with tragic results, there’s often an accompanying cry for more legislation and more rules and more road safety measures to try to prevent senseless injuries and loss of life. But laws and enforcement don’t always provide an improvement in safety. Take for example, our current distracted driving rules. Texting and cell phone-engaged drivers have reached the top of the gripe list surpassing tailgating and aggressive driving. Yet we have some of the most stringent and punitive rules on the books for this type of transgression. Now there’s a group of automotive electronics producers working on a blood-alcohol detection system that they’re proposing as an optional safety feature for all vehicles. Rather than the blow-and-wait breathalyzer systems that convicted DUI drivers must use, this technology would passively sample the breath of a driver via headliner mounted sensors, or take a biometric reading by means of a specially coated starter push-button. The designers and engineers feel that they could effectively collect and process these samples in a matter of seconds,

Summer comedy scores with audiences at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre BarnDoor Productions’ 101st show has scored with audiences on its opening weekend at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre. “Lots of great laughs,” said one patron. “The two of them work so well together,” said another. “The two of them” are BarnDoor Productions’ producing directors David and Janice Jacklin, who are taking the stage together for the first time since 1992 in Assisted Living, a two-person, four-character comedy by Winnie Holzman (author of the musical Wicked) and Hollywood character actor Paul Dooley. Holzman and Dooley, married themselves, debuted the show in 2013 to rave reviews, and the Jacklins are carrying on the tradition of strong performances in this “charming comedy”, as another opening weekend patron described it. Assisted Living is the story of two pairs of characters: an aging soap opera star and his live-in makeup artist, who are facing a crisis both on-screen and in real life; and an ardent soap opera fan facing problems in her own life, including dealing her aged father. The two stories each have their own extended scene in the first act, before being brought together in the second act. We also get a chance to hear some snippets of the fictional soap opera in question, the long-running Search For Our Lives, and we gain some sympathy for the actors who have to make drama from drivel on a daily basis. Frank Maxwell, David Jacklin’s first character in the play, has been playing Doctor Dan

Dad, played by David Jacklin, and Heather, played by Janice Jacklin, find common ground in a box of memorabilia and the characters from a soap opera in a scene from BarnDoor Productions’, Assisted Living. It’s a delightful summer comedy and the first time the Jacklins have appeared onstage together since 1992. The show runs June 19 to 28 at Full Circle Theatre in Perth. on the soap for 36 years, but he now faces failing ratings and conspiracy on the set. His character has been relegated to a straight-jacket in a padded call, which he sees as an attempt by his co-star to ease him out of the show. His live-in girlfriend, Emily (played by Janice Jacklin), has only a limited amount of patience with his childishness and paranoia. Pointing to a huge pile of fan letters, she says “Just think what these letters represent!” “A waste of paper” he replies. “You couldn’t be more wrong and I’ll

show you,” she says, opening a letter at random. “This one’s is in crayon.” With tensions between Frank and Emily at a breaking point, the audience get to listen to a scene from the latest installment of Search For Our Lives, while the scene, and the actors, change. The second scene centres on Heather (Janice), a Search For Our Lives fan whose letter Frank reads in the first scene, as she deals with her failing father (simply called Dad) and her own physical and emotional troubles. The transformation the two performers achieve in the short

interval between the scenes is remarkable, and the characters in the second scene are completely different from the first. “Oh, a wheelchair!” says Heather. “Now we can go for a walk.” “Okay”, says Dad, “but I’m not strong enough to push you.” “You haven’t mentioned the weight I’ve lost,” she says. “Lost? Or re-arranged?” is the comeback. Just when it looks like the two will never come together, they find unexpected common ground in Search For Our Lives. The second act brings Frank and Heather together, a year later, after the soap opera has been cancelled. Frank is out of work and trying to contact his daughter, who won’t return his calls. A transformed Heather comes to his door, to deliver a fan-written script she and her father had written. She tells Frank that his reply to her fan letter has changed her life and put her on a new track, then apologizes for intruding on his busy life. “I’m not busy,” he says, “I’m…what’s the opposite of busy?” Through Heather’s fan script and her enthusiasm, Frank slowly begins to find some ground for a transformation of his own. This “charming play” ends just like that: charmingly, as both Frank and Heather find new purpose. After a special 20th anniversary winter season of some intense drama, including the Pulitzer Prize winning plays

August: Osage County and Death of a Salesman, BarnDoor Productions has turned to some deliberately light fare for the summer season. Assisted Living is a funny, light comedy with just enough thought to make it memorable and enough laughs to make it worth a couple of hours time. It doesn’t pretend to be great drama, but it is entertaining and diverting and it offers its two-person cast, who together number about 75 years of every aspect of theatre experience, a chance to stretch out with diverse characters and a real acting challenge. The final piece of the picture is that Assisted Living was mounted with directorial assistance from a young man still in theatre school, but who is appearing all summer long with Perth’s Classic Theatre Festival this year. Sean Jacklin was just two-years old the last time his parents appeared together on stage, but his directorial eye has helped shape Assisted Living for them, making the show a real family effort. Assisted Living concludes its run this week, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 1:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 reserved, $22 at the door and can be reserved by calling 613-2671884. No credit cards are needed; cash at the performance is requested. Students are just $10. The performances are at the air-conditioned, barrier-free Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig Street, Perth, near Last Duel Park. Submitted by BarnDoor Productions

From Newfoundland to Ontario Ross Murphy writes from Port Dover, Ontario: “Hi, Bill. I grew up in Port Dover and summer weekends in the ’50s attracted many street rods that went cruising along the beach area. The Summer Garden dance hall was bustling with excitement with Ronnie Hawkins as a main event, and a great time to be a teenager! That’s when my addiction to old cars began and continues today. “At 17, I bought my first car, a 1956 Meteor convertible from a friend. I installed an Edmund intake manifold with three Stromberg 97’s and progressive linkage on the 292 cubic inch power plant, which didn’t help the horsepower much but sure drew attention at the gas station when they checked my oil. I built and rebuilt several street rods through to the ‘90s. “Last June, I purchased my 1935 Ford Deluxe coupe from a man who owned a fish processing plant near Corner Brook, Newfoundland. The car originated in

California and the former owner did a meticulous frame-off restoration. All bright work was sent to Cambridge Custom Chrome for plating and buffing. The engine and transmission were sent to The Guild of Auto Restorers in Bradford, Ontario, for rebuild. In addition, a custom Lebaron Bonney interior kit was installed. The Dupont “Autumn Red” paint was applied by Budd’s Auto Body in Newfoundland. “It’s a fun nostalgic driver that makes for good conversation at all the car shows. And here’s an interesting item passed onto me by a classic car dealer when the car passed through his hands. My ’35 Ford was in a movie called ‘Sea Biscuit’ starring Jeff Bridges. I have yet to see the film but this info was passed on to me.”

Ross’s 1935 Ford coupe has a flathead V8 engine with 221 cubic inches cranking out 92 horsepower at 3900 rpm. Two series were available: Standard and Deluxe for a total of thirteen variations with Windsor factory list prices ranging from $645 for the 2-passenger business coupe up to $830 for the 5-passenger Deluxe Touring Fordor Sedan with built-in trunk. The Canadian version of Ross Murphy’s 1935 Ford 4-passenger Deluxe coupe with rumble seat had a list price of $750. Slightly less in the U.S. and worth far more today! I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, Ont. N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in my column will receive a free autographed copy of my book: “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURITE STORIES, 1925 to 1965.”

Wedding favour ideas for your guests Your guests have honoured you with their presence and it’s now time to thank them. Ideally, your wedding favours will include the names of the bride and groom and the date you exchanged your vows. Here is a selection of ideas to give your wedding the perfect finishing touch. GOURMET FAVOURS Chocolates, sugared almonds, or other treats will delight those with a sweet tooth. You can personalize your assortments by adding your initials or an illustration that represents you both. For a winter wedding, a hot chocolate mix is a comforting gift that your guests can enjoy to their heart’s content. FAVOURS FROM MOTHER NATURE Nature lovers, this gift is for you: a pretty box ﬁlled with potting soil and some tiny succulents so your guests will leave with some genuine greenery. Or, opt for seeds to symbolize the beginning of your new life

together. SCENTED FAVOURS Scented candles are perfect for most weddings, as they’re available in all shapes and colours. You could also consider giving bath salts or shell-shaped soaps for a nautical theme, or rose potpourris for a vintage wedding. DECORATIVE FAVOURS A magnet for the fridge, coasters, photos, or snow globes: think traditional souvenir trinkets. They’ll feature a photo of you both that your guests will treasure. LUXURY FAVOURS Be warned, small budgets should steer clear of this suggestion. Some brides and grooms go all out in order to impress their guests; if that’s you, why not offer a box of cigars, a small item of jewellery, or a bottle of good wine. This is especially suitable for smaller weddings. PHOTO: Buccina studios / THINKSTOCK

Don’t let your guests leave without a little favour to thank them for joining you.

free to invite only certain guests to the party following the ceremony; specify the theme, dress code, location, and menu choices) IT’S A GO! Send one invitation per address, whether it’s to a single person, couple, or family. Invitations should be mailed at least three months before the big day. If you’re inviting your guests to join you abroad for your wedding, or if some of your guests live outside the country, try to send your invitations as early as eight months in advance. Keep a few spare invitations, just in case. NEED SOME INSPIRATION? When it comes to invitation design, it isn’t always easy to transform your ideas into reality. You can turn to websites or wedding magazines for help. If you’re not very artistic, choose a template or hire a graphic designer to create a unique wedding invitation.

An invitation styled according to your wedding theme will give your guests a hint of what’s to come.

Creating atmosphere is the secret to your reception What makes one wedding more fun than another? There’s no need to look far: the secret is in the atmosphere. Here are some tips on how to organize a memorable wedding reception. THE THEME Begin by choosing the theme that will be the foundation of the wedding. This will guide you through your clothing and decorating choices, and it will even determine the wedding favours you offer and the meal the caterer serves. The theme can be a colour or combination of colours, an era or a season, a country or a culture, an object or a shared passion. Above all, it should reﬂect both your personalities.

fun at your own wedding. You’ll both be able to circulate amongst your guests, and there won’t be any uncomfortable lulls. A good DJ is a facilitator who can adapt to the age and tastes of the guests and keep the momentum going. Just be sure that anyone you hire can entertain according to your theme. SOME IDEAS FOR SURPRISING YOUR GUESTS • Plan a unique arrival at the reception. • Set up a photo booth with wacky accessories. • Provide a guest book that can be a decorative item in your home after the reception. • Work out a dance routine to perform together or with your wedding party. • Have a karaoke machine for later on, at the reception. • Release disposable lanterns into the sky when it gets dark, or plan some ﬁreworks. • Hire a magician, a croupier with casino tables, or a caricaturist to entertain your guests. • Serve custom cocktails, poured by a professional ﬂair bartender who can juggle bottles and do some spectacular bartending tricks.

Coordinated outfits for the bride and groom One thing is certain about your wedding: the bride and groom are going to be the centre of attention all day long. So be sure to think colour and style coordination when making your fashion choices. THE BRIDE On your big day all eyes will be on you. Even though the pure white wedding dress remains a classic, many brides break with tradition by opting for a more colourful outﬁt. No matter what your preference, be sure to choose a dress that enhances your ﬁgure and is comfortable to wear. THE GROOM Even though the groom isn’t supposed to see the dress before the ceremony, he should at least know its colour so that your out-

ﬁts are somewhat harmonized. A light or a dark suit goes well with a white dress, while a light-toned suit (yellow or ivory) is suitable alongside a dark dress. Whatever the case, choose a suit made of top quality material, such as lin-

en, wool, or raw silk. ACCESSORIES Accessories add the ﬁnishing touch to both your outfits. For the bride: choose a veil (or head accessory), jewellery, shoes, and a bouquet that enhance your dress. Don’t forget to have something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue. For the groom: choose between a tie, cravat, or bow tie. And to look like a perfect gentleman, dare to wear a hat, vest, cufflinks, and pocket square. You can leave out the matching cummerbund, though; alas, they belong to another time. And don’t forget, the bridal party’s suits and dresses should harmonize with the bride and groom’s outﬁts.

you want when it’s your wedding. So the aim is to find a unique way to arrive that reflects your personalities and the theme of the festivities. Here are a few suggestions. • For a waterfront reception, arrive on a boat to cause a real sensation. • You prefer to stay on terra ﬁrma? Join your guests on two wheels, making your appearance on a motorcycle or scooter. • You like a bit more comfort? Show up in a classy limousine, race car, or vintage car.

who plan to invite guests via email or online invitations can skirt the cost of postage. But many couples still prefer traditional paper invitations, which include return envelopes that tradition suggests should also be stamped. Save-the-date cards have grown in popularity as well, and these cards must also be stamped and mailed. Depending on the size of your guest list, postage can cost several hundred dollars before you mail your last invitation. And don’t forget to save some money for postage to mail thank-you cards once the big day has come and gone. • Overtime: Overtime fees for reception hall staff and additional outside vendors are typically written into contracts, but few couples imagine needing more than the predetermined allotment of time noted in their contracts. But it’s better to be safe than sorry, as unanticipated events such as a misplaced wedding license or heavy traffic on the way to the venue can force the party to start late and thus extend past its deadline. Set aside some money for overtime so you don’t find yourselves scrounging for dollars or charging the extra few hundred dollars on your credit cards. Weddings are expensive, and even more so when hidden fees start to make their presence felt. Couples who build such fees into their budgets will find it easier to avoid breaking the bank than those who don’t.

In the days of yore, the responsibility of paying for a wedding fell to the bride’s parents. But that tradition has largely fallen by the wayside in recent years, when more and more couples have used their own savings to finance their weddings. Few couples enter the process of planning their weddings unaware of just how expensive weddings can get, but costs can easily begin to escalate if couples are not careful. Couples know that certain wedding expenses, such as the cost of booking a reception hall, will eat up a large portion of their budgets. But there are some hidden expenses that couples must build into their budgets to avoid finding themselves in debt as they walk down the aisle as husband and wife. • Taxes: Sales tax might not seem so significant when you’re buying everyday items, but the taxes add up quickly when paying for a wedding. Before signing contracts with any vendors, couples should get the price including sales tax written into their contracts, as failing to do so may result in a several thousand dollar surprise when the time to pay up arrives. • Gratuities: Gratuities are another potentially hefty expense that often takes engaged couples by surprise as they start to plan their weddings. Some reception halls build gratuities for staff into their estimates, and these tips for the staff can be as high as 25 percent at some venues. But even if gratuities for reception hall staff are already accounted for, don’t forget to include tips for additional vendors the day of the wedding. Couples may be expected to tip the florist, photographer, band or deejay and even the reception hall maitre d’ if his or her gratuity is not included in the aforementioned staff tip. Brides-to-be typically tip their hairstylist and makeup artist on the day of the wedding as well. • Postage: Couples
