Perth celebrates ‘heroes’ at Homecoming Desmond Devoy

Military tattoo
Perth was founded as a military settlement for veterans of the Napoleonic Wars in Europe and the War of 1812 too. So, it was fitting that a military tattoo be held at the Millennium Gates in Stewart Park during the Homecoming Weekend festivities on Saturday, July 23. Above, Junior dancers from the Shaw School of Dance put their best feet forward during their routine. To the left, shots ring out over Stewart Park as re-enactors from the 100th and 104th Regiments of Foot fire rounds during a demonstration.
Perth has never been without its heroes. Nor has it been remiss in honouring those worthy of the name. Which was why two of the dignitaries who were scheduled to attend the opening ceremonies for Perth’s Homecoming Weekend on Saturday, July 23 – Ontario’s Lt. Gov. Elizabeth Dowdeswell and MPP Randy Hillier – were unable to be in Stewart Park. They were in Kingston for the funeral service for Patrick Pidgeon, 45, a firefighter, former prison guard, and Canadian Forces veteran, who served two tours of duty in Afghanistan. On Saturday, July 16, “he faced the blaze that took his life,” said Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston MP Scott Reid, of the fallen firefighter. “These are the kinds of risks they take… sometimes they pay the ultimate price.” Reid sent greetings and regrets from Hillier and Dowdeswell but added that he had been in contact with Dowdeswell’s Queen’s Park office, and “she very much regrets that she cannot be here. She understands the importance of this. She very much wanted to be here.” Reid took the occasion to honour the “heroism of apparently ordinary people.” He drew the only spontaneous applause of the morning by echoing lines from the end of the First World War – that we must “make this a nation fit for our heroes to live in.” (Reid, a former teacher of history himself, was quoting from British Prime Minister David Lloyd George, (18631945), who asked, during a speech in Wolverhampton, See HEROES page P7

Armed with a giant pair of golden scissors, owners Stephanie BrownMalenfant and Steve Malenfant opened the space, cutting a burlap and lace ribbon, which captured the style the pair wanted to create with the venue: rustic elegance with a flair of French country. The project undertaken by Ian Jackson and his business Sonder Group Inc., which involved the conversion and restoration of a local barn, began just after Thanksgiving weekend last October. It has long been a dream for the Malenfants, ever since they purchased the centuries-old farm property on the 9th Line of Beckwith six and a half years ago. “…We had the goal of turning this gorgeous farm into Stonefields Event Destination,” noted Stephanie. “After Ashley Kulp/METROLAND hosting weddings and events in a big Stonefields Event Destination in Beckwith held the grand opening for its new rustic loft reception and white tent in this exact same location event space, which involved the conversion and restoration of a local barn, on July 20.

Health unit: We all play a role in reducing risk of West Nile Virus The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit would like to inform our citizens that we have started our mosquito surveillance program once again. This program started the last week of June will be carried through until the end of September. Should you see one of our traps in your neighbourhood, please do not disturb it. These traps are not mosquito control units, so they have no value to property owners, but they are important in identifying mosquitoes and providing a warning that disease causing mosquitoes are present in a given area. We all play a role in preventing West Nile Virus (WNV) infections, and when we all do our part we will reduce the risk of this disease in our community. • Each homeowner has the responsibility of removing standing water that provides breeding areas for mosquitoes on their property. Most mosquitoes do not
travel large distances and thus those breeding within your space are likely to bite you. • The municipality is charged with the responsibility of ensuring proper drainage on municipally owned lands and public ditches. The roads departments have the knowledgeable staff and proper equipment to ensure this is achieved. Additionally it is a municipal responsibility to address complaints regarding standing water on private land within its jurisdiction, using applicable property standards bylaws. Should positive mosquito pools be identified in a municipality, it is also the responsibility of council to take the necessary control actions as recommended by the medical officer of health. • The health unit has the responsibility of assessing the risk for WNV within the three counties each year. This is accomplished by conducting mosquito

Leashed dogs a requirement, not an option says conservation authority Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) is reminding all pet owners to be responsible when visiting conservation areas with their dogs and ensure they are leashed at all times as per Ontario Regulation 120, R.R.O. 1990. Unfortunately, not everyone is obeying the rules. “We are receiving an increasing number of complaints from the public including responsible pet owners about unleashed dogs on our trails,” said MVCA community relations
co-ordinator Shannon Gutoskie. “MVCA is committed to ensuring the safety of all of our visitors, human and animal alike, and dogs off leash may pose a threat to others.” The Mill of Kintail, Purdon and Morris Island Conservation Areas welcome leashed pets. However, the length of the leash must not exceed two metres or the animal will be considered at large. Invisible leashes are not permitted. Owners are also reminded that cleaning up after their pet is a must.
MVCA’s regulations officer will be conducting random visits to the conservation areas in an effort to control the issue. The cost of not abiding by the regulation? About $100. “We want everyone who visits our conservation areas to have a good time and enjoy the wonderful features they offer. If everyone uses common sense and follows the site rules which are clearly posted, then this will be achieved,” said Gutoskie. If anyone witnesses inappropriate
behaviour on conservation authority area property, they are encouraged to call the MVCA office at 613253-0006. MVCA is one of 36 conservation authorities in Ontario. Formed in 1968, MVCA’s mandate is to manage the watershed’s resources in
partnership with our 11 member municipalities and the province of Ontario. For more information, visit www. mvc.on.ca, follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook. Submitted by the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority

Last chance to see Neil Simon comedy London Suite
They say that word-of-mouth is the best advertising, and the word on the street this week is that you simply must see London Suite, the sparkling Neil Simon comedy that wraps up this weekend at the Studio Theatre. London Suite is really four different stories that happen on different days in the same elegant suite of an English Hotel. Here, actors Jennifer Pfitzer and Jerry Logan star as a young couple visiting London to see the Wimbledon tennis matches. First they discover they’ve misplaced their tickets, then a slipped disk puts the disastrous finishing touches on their vacation. Neil Simon’s comedy London Suite, directed by David Parry, finishes this weekend with performances July 29 and 30 at 7:30 p.m., and a Sunday matinee at 2 p.m. on July 31.

COMMENTARY
Sports will win out
I
t’s always easier to by cynical than to expect the best of a challenging situation. And the upcoming Olympics in Brazil is certainly a challenging event. The threat of the Zika virus is prompting some athletes to drop out. There are questions about security. And the thought of Russian secret service agents creeping around in the dark, replacing little bottles of tainted urine with little bottles of clean urine is laughable. That’s no way to boost the image of international sports or celebrate the spirit of honest competition. Despite all the bad news, the stories of the individuals who work hard for a chance to take on the world is what really matters. Athletes from here in Lanark County and across the country are getting ready to head south to Rio, including Perth’s Amy Millar, daughter of Canadian showjumping legend, Ian Millar, who will be participating in equestrian – jumping competitions. Smiths Falls golf phenom Brooke Henderson will be on the links as well. And when the moment comes, when the competition begins, they will inspire us.
The look of enthusiasm and pure joy on the face of Rosie MacLennan, Canada’s flag bearer at the Olympics, momentarily outshines any negative aspects of the international competition that now features all the angst revolving around banning Russian athletes for illegal drug use. MacLennan’s efforts and emotions – along with the determination and commitment of her fellow Olympians – will cross the finish line way ahead of the intrigue and frustration caused by a scandal that athletes have been complaining about for years. Honest athletes can look forward to finally being vindicated and compete in the Olympics the way they want to. The Olympics, throughout history, have featured everything from a showcase for a blossoming Nazi Germany in 1936 to a glimpse of modern terrorism tactics in the Munich massacre during the 1972 Summer Olympics. The human spirit has been forced to wear one worrying set of clothes after another, but through all of the costume changes the individual still manages to wear their own colours when their time to shine arrives.
Emerson decides to test out Mary’s dislike for mud pout My dislike for fish, I was sure, would last me a lifetime, and it all had to do with my fear of the many catfish, which we called mud pout, found in great abundance in the Bonnechere River. They were the ugliest creatures I had ever clapped eyes on in my life, and often found their way to our supper table, where, when laid out on the platter, I wouldn’t dare cast an eye, knowing perfectly well, I would be sick as a dog at the very sight. Mother knowing how I hated mud pout, always let me have a boiled egg and toast instead. My three brothers would wander down to the river this time of year, and about once a week, would bring these ugly fish to the chopping block behind the silo, and would have

a pail full, ready for Mother to cook up for supper. Emerson knew how I hated mud pout. If I was anywhere near the chopping block, he would hook his finger into the gill of one, and wave it in my direction, smacking his lips and yelling, “Still alive and kickin’, see Mary?” And then he would add, “Can’t wait to sink my teeth into this one.” My stomach would do a flip-flop as I pictured Mother’s big black iron fry pan, and vision the fish, which to me, seemed to squirm while being cooked. Emerson said the reason they moved in the pan was because they were still alive, which distressed me even further. The day my hate for mud pout was stretched to the limit was when once again,

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
a big catch was ready for the fry pan. The brothers had cleaned them and Emerson brought them to the kitchen in a pail. I ate my boiled egg and toast with my eyes half closed, dreading the look of the platter of fish in front of Father’s plate. I couldn’t wait until supper was over, the kitchen redded up, and the table cleared. The smell of fried fish hung in the air like gossamer clouds, and the kitchen was beastly hot as well, to add to my misery.

They always wanted to stay up for just a few minutes longer, but that night, we all climbed the stairs early, hoping to escape the blistering heat of the kitchen. I wasn’t long crawling into my bed, which I shared with my sister Audrey. And then my feet touched something...wet and slimy, and I flew out of bed as fast as a bolt of lightning, threw the sheet back, and there, right where my feet landed, was a dead mud pout. I screamed bloody murder; Emerson was rolling on the floor in hysterics, and my sister Audrey was
yelling for Mother to come upstairs to see what was causing the uproar. Well, you didn’t have to be a brain surgeon to know how the fish got in my bed. Emerson was still laughing his head off when Mother reached the back bedroom door. She grabbed Emerson by the ear, hauled him downstairs, and ordered him to sleep on the couch in the kitchen and told him to get rid of the mud pout first. It didn’t sound like much of a punishment to me, but Emerson was at least a good foot longer than the couch, it was rock hard, and the kitchen was still as hot as a furnace. I asked Audrey
to change the sheets, even though they had been put on fresh that day, and I vowed, even then I could smell mud pout. I finally went to sleep. My dreams that night were of the chopping block, and the ugly mud pout. And long into the night, I thought I could hear Emerson downstairs in the kitchen, laughing his head off!

Tipping in restaurants, service charges are an eternal issue News that a Vancouverbased restaurant chain has decided to introduce a socalled “hospitality charge” at its newest location in downtown Calgary, while at the same time eliminating customer tips, got a lot of publicity recently. Some of the news stories made it seem like this is something brand new. In fact this issue migrates and has done so for years. Every now and then it raises its head somewhere, creating a flap among diners and bar patrons and finding its way into the media. It’s the eternal issue in the hospitality industry where servers in particular often work for low wages but hope to augment their rather meagre income with tips. People who work in the industry get to know which restaurants and bars attract the biggest tippers and, not surprisingly, the competition for jobs in those premises is keen. My own daughter worked as a server and later as a bartender during her college days and for varying periods afterward to supplement the income from her vocation. Heather is a hard worker and she sometimes worked two or three part-time jobs in the hospitality trade. Besides Ottawa, the fourth largest metropolitan area in Canada, she has also lived and worked in our three largest cities Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. Based on her experience I can quote chapter and verse about the issue of tipping, hospitality and service charges – whatever you want to call it. For wait staff in particular, tips are considered vital if they are going to continue to do what is, most often, thankless work. Before I go any farther however, just in case you missed it I will give you a little detail about the Calgary situation which triggered this column. The west coast restaurant chain Earls opened its 67th location in Calgary on July 8, right during the annual Stampede. Appropriately and simply it is called “Earls.67.” Customers quickly discovered that wait staff do not expect tips. Instead there’s a 16 per cent surcharge added to every bill. Earls’ management calls it “a pilot project” and says if it proves popular with staff and customers it could be introduced at other

locations. A company spokesman told the media their research tells them there will be no tipping in Canada in five to seven years. The firm claims a no tipping trend is currently growing in New York City, Europe and Australia. Frankly I seriously doubt that no tipping is coming here to stay. My opinion isn’t due to my daughter’s experience. It’s based on personal experience! My wife Kathleen and I are long-time travelers and we have spent more than 20 years criss-crossing the United Kingdom, Continental Europe and Ireland, not to mention North America. Before heading to a new destination we always do some research and that includes tipping practices, something that’s very important if you are going to be staying in hotels and eating in restaurants or pubs for days on end. Practices vary In terms of tipping, practices vary from country to country and from city to city. In England, for example, bartenders and waiters don’t generally expect tips. Mind you that varies depending on the quality and reputation of the restaurant. Of course quality doesn’t necessarily go with reputation! One afternoon, during our first independent visit to London in the 1990s, Kathy and I felt the need to escape the scorching heat. Contrary to what you might read or hear London can be very warm indeed in summertime. For anyone who hasn’t visited England, the protocol in most pubs is to go to the bar, order your drinks and/or food and pay for it right up front. Beer, wine and liquor is dispensed immediately. Tables are generally numbered and staff members deliver food orders to the appropriate table. We love it because it’s so straightforward. No interminable waits for staff to deliver the bad news after you’ve eaten. Anyway, even as a novice in
an English pub I knew I had to order my pint and Kathy’s wine at the bar. The bartender was a very pleasant young chap and we chatted about the usual subjects, the hot weather, where we were from and so on. He promptly served up the beverages and I produced a £10 note to pay him. Today that amount wouldn’t cover the drinks I dare say. I automatically pushed a 50p (pence) coin in his direction. He starred at it oddly and pushed it straight back. I wondered if I had insulted him with a small gratuity. “Thank you sir, but there is no tipping here,” he stated. We soon discovered that “here” meant all of England. Bartenders and restaurant staff don’t expect tips and the English generally don’t offer them either. Considering the cost of everything over there I can understand why! Not that we adopted the local custom with respect to gratuities however. I have given tips in restaurants and pubs many times over the years and staff gladly took the money. When we are with our Yorkshire friends he won’t allow me to tip. “Put the money back in your pocket Jeff. We don’t tip for bar service here,” Martin has told me, and quite sternly too. Despite those lessons my tendency is still to tip for good service. After all, that’s what we do here. In Canada or the US we always tip wait staff although admittedly our gratuities are based on the quality of service. If the service is bad or the staff member is rude, no tip! I think that is more than fair actually. We never blame waitresses or waiters if food quality is poor. It’s not their fault. Admittedly wait staff always hear about bad food. That’s just an unfortunate fact of life in their line of work. I’ve now tipped my hand on automatic gratuities, hospitality or service charges. Call it what you like. But I don’t think the majority of people want to see an automatic surcharge on their bill. Sure some people in this country are cheap and refuse to tip period. As for me – and I hope this applies to most restaurant and bar patrons –

From page 10
I almost always tip and the rare exceptions are due to bad service. As for the current Calgary restaurant plan, I think it is all part of an ongoing cycle and it has many incarnations. Automatic gratuity Let me take you back four years, to a tempest in a teapot that developed in Toronto in January 2012. At that time local newspapers reported that two new restaurants were adding an automatic 20 per cent gratuity to their bills, whether you liked the service or not. The owners explained it very differently however. They said the 20 per cent was only included on bills paid via handheld electronic terminals. They said it was not automatic, but optional. “It isn’t compulsory,” one restauranteur told the National Post. “It’s an option and it is up to diners whether they OK that amount while completing the transaction.” That practice spread and it continues at certain restaurants in Canada, the US and elsewhere to this day. Still, in my experience people don’t like to be faced with an automatic surcharge. Instead they want to make a positive or negative statement about the restaurant and the service. The best way to do that is by tipping accordingly. In worst case scenarios some people refuse to pay for bad meals. I think that in extreme cases that is justified. Stories on the automatic tip situation in Toronto in 2012 did note that at that
time 15 per cent was the commonly accepted, but obviously unwritten, gratuity standard in Canada’s biggest city. I still feel that’s a fair tip today actually. But in Calgary for example, in 2012, diners were generally tipping 18-20 per cent and even as high as 25 per cent. Calgary and Alberta was flush in those days. I wonder what the standard is now after the fall on the oil patch? From all accounts Australian restaurants tend to pay servers well. Canada and Europe is somewhere in the middle. In the US hourly wages for wait staff can be truly terrible as we have discovered on our travels. Therefore American waitresses and waiters are far more dependent on gratuities. That’s why I don’t believe tipping is falling by the wayside in New York City. Serving staff in the ‘Big Apple’ have traditionally been poorly compensated. My information is that they earn less than half the hourly rate paid to wait staff in Toronto. I believe tipping will continue, but in many different ways. The Calgary restaurant is just one venue in a city with hundreds upon hundreds of dining choices. People decide where they will eat for a variety of reasons. Tipping is just one of the considerations. Tipping goes far beyond restaurants and bars of course. Because we are in the middle of the summer travel season I intend to explore this subject further in my column next week.

Stay safe on the waterways this long weekend Drinking and boating accounts for approximately 40 per cent of boating-related fatalities on Canadian waterways. To raise awareness and reduce alcohol related deaths, the Canadian Safe Boating Council (CSBC) is launching year three of an initiative called “Operation Dry Water.” Its goal is to discourage this dangerous practice. With the summer boating season in high gear, the Aug. 1 long weekend is the perfect time to remind Canadian boaters about the risks of drinking and boating. Combined with sun, wind, waves and the rocking
motion of the boat, the effects of alcohol on the water can be greatly increased. “The CSBC, its partners and sponsors would like, through this and our other initiatives, to raise attention to the problem of boating under the influence and to remind boaters not to drink and boat,” stated John Gullick, chair of the Canadian Safe Boating Council. “Operation Dry Water will focus on the potential risks of drinking and boating, and remedies that are currently in place to discourage it.” Federal statutes dictate that,
whether or not your craft is motorized, you can be charged with Impaired Operation of a vessel under the Criminal Code of Canada if your blood alcohol level exceeds the .08 threshold. This means you can be charged even if you are impaired while operating a canoe and a judge is able to, upon conviction, suspend your boating privileges. But that’s not all; it can get worse. Some provinces have enacted legislation where drinking and boating can affect your automobile driving privileges. In Ontario, for example, Bill 209 amend-

ed the Highway Traffic Act to also apply to “anyone operating or having the care or control of a vessel.” As such, anyone found boating with a blood alcohol level above .05, faces an on-thespot automobile drivers’ license suspension. Should the person’s blood alcohol concentration exceed .08, upon conviction, an additional suspension of up to one year can be applied. During the Aug. 1 long weekend, a number of police agencies will be offering the media the chance to ride along while they conduct on-water vessel safety checks.

LOMBARDY FAIR July 29th to August 1, 2016
Lombardy Fair is 150th celebration of agriculture and heritage Laurie Weir ljweir@metroland.com
The 150th anniversary of the Lombardy Fair is shaping up to be the biggest and best one yet, as it’s set to take off Friday, July 29 and run through Civic holiday Monday, Aug. 3. This agricultural fair has deep roots in the community, including that of the board president Melanie Chisholm. “I was three when I showed my first calf here,” said the local dairy farmer with three young daughters. “I would get my $5 for showing the calf then go spend it at the fair.” Now, Chisholm said she enjoys being able to take a deep breath after all the planning and organizing, and just enjoy the fair. She is quick to give credit to the fair board and many volunteers who help pull it all together for the community. This year’s 150th is being recognized with a special bronze plaque, installed at the front of the agriculture hall. This is thanks to the efforts of Kincaid and Loney Monuments Ltd., in Smiths Falls. “They wanted to do something for us and this is a wonderful way to recognize the fair’s 150th anniversary,” Chisholm said. The plaque was installed on Monday, July 18 – just in time for the fair. Speaking of sponsorship, the fair would be as fun or successful as it is without the ongoing support of the sponsors. “We couldn’t do some of these events without their financial support,” Chisholm said. For Kristine Fair of Mike Fair Chevrolet Buick GMC
Cadillac Ltd., Smiths Falls, she’s been financially boosting the event for the past five years. “Who doesn’t love a good fair,” she said, adding that she attended for the first time with her niece back in 1991. Fair’s donation helps support the horse shows. For Dan Andress of Andress Your Independent Grocer, his donation helps support Saturday night’s entertainment, Doubleback. This band was so popular at the agricultural society’s barn dance that they brought them back to the fair, Chisholm said. Andress, who is from Lombardy, said he loves the old fashioned family values of the event. “It brings people together, and it’s always a good time. The traditions have been carried on through generations.” Smiths Falls Hyundai owner, Steve LeBlanc, also a long-time supporter, said he enjoys this “great community event, and it brings families out for a good time.” LeBlanc, who comes from a harness racing family, living in Rideau Ferry, said he’s been supporting the fair for 15 years. His donation will help pay for the tractor pulls – both the antique and lawn tractor sorts. Dr. Michael MacPhee and Associates is another supporter behind the scenes. Dr. MacPhee’s sponsorship helps pay for the costs associated with the baby show. With four young children, he said he will be sure and pop into the fair this year. “We want to keep the kids busy, so I’m sure we’ll go check out the fair this year,” he said. And for Scott Fleming of
Rideau Home Hardware and Building Centre, his sponsorship will support Saturday entertainment in the park. He too has a history of attending the fair. “Grandma (May Wright) was on the fair board, and my dad and uncle were also involved,” he said. Fleming said he enjoys the fair as it’s a “good community event… and a strong one for going 150 years.” In front of the camera is Hugh Colton of Town and Country TV. “I wouldn’t be able to do these live hits without the support of my boss, Brad Kyle at the dealership,” said Colton. “He supports these events and the community driven weekend Wrangler.” Town and Country Chrysler has also been one of the long time supporters of this agricultural fair. The fair opens Friday, July 29 as the gates open at 3 p.m. Friday features the Mini King and Queen contest and the Demolition Deby. Saturday’s opening ceremonies will be held on the main stage at 7 p.m. followed by the band Doubleback. Throughout the weekend, there are so many things to do you won’t have time to be bored. If you’re looking to get into the fun competition with the home crafts, it’s not too late to get making your crafts. All you need to know is listed on the user friendly website. Go to www.lombardyfair. ca for a list of entry deadlines, musical entertainment, kids’ activities, agricultural shows, midway rides, and more. Don’t miss the 150th Lombardy Fair.

LAWS on the road to financial recovery d n e k e e W This Week’s Pets The 2015/2016 fiscal year had a steady financial improvement starting November 2015. We still need to be vigilant with cost cutting measures but the future is looking brighter. We really need more volunteers to help with the cats and kittens and for those who cannot make it to the shelter, we need help with fundraising events. We are running a bit short on storage space at the shelter, so for the time being, we have sufficient dog treats and do not have room to store any more bleach. What we do really, really need is Friskies Pate cat food. The cats are not fond of the Friskies Chunks with Gravy and prefer the Pate. Go figure.

This week’s featured pets Monty Hi, my name is Monty. I am a six-month-old beagle/ spaniel cross. My previous family had to give me up as they were no longer able to care for me. I am a happy, very handsome, bundle of energy. I love to travel in the car and I get excited for the first 5-10 minutes, then I calm right down and enjoy the ride. I am quite proud of myself because I am still very much a puppy, but I have learned to sit on command, come when I am called, and if told to “stop” doing something – I stop right away. I may start again, so I guess I need some calm, positive reinforcement. I will need continued training for sure but I know I have so much potential. I have met a few cats and am intrigued with them. I would like to get to know them better but I get so excited. I would love to become part of an active family. A fenced yard, where we could play so I could drain some of this energy, would be a dream come true. I learn better after a good play session. Is there anyone out there who loves to jog and play fetch? I would love to meet you. Please call LAWS

Summer storytelling at nature reserve with children’s author Jan Andrews Aug. 7 Summertime is never better than seen through the eyes of children – or a children’s author perhaps. It takes a unique talent to really fire the imaginations of young people with a good story. So, just imagine what it would be like to listen to a great storyteller and nature lover speak about the experiences of summer, all outside in a beautiful wilderness setting. On Sunday, Aug. 7, local children’s author Jan Andrews will be at the High Lonesome Nature Reserve to read from her popular book, The Twelve Days of Summer. This whimsical and beautifully illustrated story is based on the popular Christmas carol and guides the listener through the life cycle of plants and animals commonly seen in the summer in this area. It’s aimed at children from pre-school to grade 2, but appeals to the child in all of us. If ever there was a book that grew out of our landscape it is this one. In fact, that song sparrow nest that appears at the beginning, those three ruffed grouse that strut their stuff, the seven moles a-digging, the ten crows a-cawing, along with all the other inhabitants of the tale’s unfolding, are inhabitants of Jan’s own backyard. Jan lives down the end of a road on a Mississippi Mills lake and loves it. She spends her working days by a window looking out over the water. In that lovely venue she recently created the young adult novel, The Silent Summer of Kyle McGinley, and a folktale collection, When Apples Grew Noses and White Horses Flew. Tales of Ti-Jean, was the winner of the Ontario Library Association’s Forest of Reading Silver Birch Award. She’s also known for such classics as Very Last First Time, The Auction and Stories at the Door. Jan delights in meeting young readers and sharing her books with them; letting them into the secrets of the stories’ creation, adding fascinating details to enhance the words on the page. She also happens to be one of Canada’s bestloved storytellers. The High Lonesome Nature Reserve, conserved forever by the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust (MMLT), is the perfect location to meet with Jan. Surrounded by 200 acres of woods, meadows and

Oswego, NY team becomes first US club to capture Gil Read tournament Jeff Maguire
Caleb Keeshig capped an MVP performance, hurling a shutout in the championship game as CPI Classics from Oswego, New York won the ninth annual Gil Read Memorial Fastpitch Tournament in Carp on Sunday. Oswego edged Micksburg Twins 1-0 in the final as Keeshig outdueled veteran Twins’ pitcher Joran Graham. In the process CPI Classics (they are named for their sponsor Cutro Professional Inspections) became the first team from the United States to win the nineyear-old Gil Read competition. Catcher Greg Casbeer drove in the game’s only run with a double in the second inning. Past winners of the tournament include six teams from Ontario and two from Quebec. The fastball showdown is staged at Carp Fairgrounds in rural west Ottawa each July. CPI Classics are currently
ranked 21st by the International Softball Congress (ISC). They, along with No. 18 ranked Kingston Axemen, were considered the pre-competition favourites. The final victory was the Oswego team’s second, one run triumph of the weekend versus Micksburg. They also defeated Twins, who play in the Greater Ottawa Fastball League (GOFL) 2-1 in round-robin action Saturday. That win too was behind the strong pitching of Keeshig. Last July, in their first appearance at the Gil Read, the New York State side lost 8-4 in the semi-finals to eventual tournament winner Kanata Storm. This year, behind the power pitching of Keeshig and an offence that rang up 29 runs in six games, they came away with the trophy and $1,800 in prize money. Keeshig went the distance on the hill in the semi-final and final, ringing up a remarkable
14 innings of work in back-toback contests. He was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player. Keeshig is the second winner of the Joel Langford Memorial Trophy. In their opening playoff contest Sunday CPI defeated the Quebec Juniors 6-2 while in the other semi-final it was Micksburg hammering Kingston 9-0 with Graham earning the pitching win in the onesided tilt. Jordan MacDonald absorbed the loss on the hill for Axemen. Earlier in the quarter-finals Quebec Juniors doubled local favourites, West Carleton Electric, by an 8-4 count. MarcAndre Villeneuve was the winning pitcher with veteran hurler Brad Porter taking the loss in relief of starter Andy Barber. The other quarter-final match-up saw Kingston pound Ottawa Valley A’s from GOFL 10-3. Jamie Thompson was the winning pitcher in that one while Trevor Lahey absorbed
the loss. Undefeated record Oswego was undefeated in the round-robin portion of the nine-team competition with a 3-0-1 mark. Their final preliminary game was a 5-5 tie with
Napanee Intermediates from the other side of Lake Ontario on Sunday morning. Jeffrey Mayer of Oswego and Napanee’s Ian Wallwork were the hurlers of record in that fixture. CPI was a perfect 3-0 in round-robin action Saturday.

of ISC heavyweights. Workhorse pitcher Keeshig earned two wins and a save in Saturday action. Oswego topped the round-robin standings with their undefeated record. Micksburg and Kingston tied for second with 3-1 marks. West Carleton was the fourth playoff seed with a solid 2-1-1 record while Quebec Juniors and Ottawa Valley A’s were both an even 2-2. The three teams who failed to qualify for the playoffs were Napanee at 1-2-1, Ottawa Broker4 Tickets 0-3-1 and northern Quebec entry Chisasibi Comets who finished 0-4. Hometown favourites West Carleton of GOFL opened the competition Friday night with a 4-1 victory over league rival Ottawa Valley A’s. Steve Cavanagh earned the pitching win. In Saturday action Electric was shocked 8-3 by eventual tournament winner Oswego before bouncing back to blank Chisasibi 7-0 with Porter the winning hurler. Saturday night’s game against Valley A’s ended in a 6-6 draw. Barber and Porter were the pitchers of record for West Carleton. Hands down winners of the “longest drive to the tournament award” goes to the Chisasibi Comets, from the Cree community of the same name in northern Quebec. Comets had to drive 18 hours from their village, located on the La Grande River

near the eastern shore of James Bay, just to reach Carp. The 18 hours is straight driving time and doesn’t include breaks. Their on-field results were disappointing as Chisasibi came out on the wrong end of four one-sided contests. They lost to Micksburg Twins Friday night and the Quebec Juniors, West Carleton Electric and Ottawa Valley A’s (in that order) on Saturday. Comets did manage one run against the A’s after being blanked in their three previous outings. The four defeats knocked them out of the competition. “Chisasibi came here with no illusions of winning,” says tournament organizer Chris Read. “They just
wanted to compete and they were great entrants. They’re good guys and they participated fully in the weekend.” Read, who along with his cousin Al Read, heads the 10-member organizing committee said Monday the event was once again a financial success. “We haven’t tallied it all up yet of course. But we made more money this year in every category than we did last year. That much I do know!” Chris says good weather was a key factor in the success of the ninth annual competition. “We had a one hour delay Friday night because of lightning. Other than that it was smooth sailing
Great final He was pleased with the level of competition and especially the final contest. “It was great to have a close championship game. It was very entertaining, with only a few hits and one run scored. So after a couple of lop-sided results it was great to have such a competitive final,” Chris observed. “Caleb (Keeshig) and Joran (Graham) were both lights out.” He also had words of praise for Adam Brown and Cory Morrison, the committee members who recruited teams and organized the actual competition. All proceeds from the tournament go to the Gil Read Memorial Foundation. The organization assists underprivileged youngsters who wish to play organized sports, but otherwise would not have the funds necessary to take part. Since the tournament moved to Carp six years ago the organizing committee has been able to increase the amount of proceeds donated to the foundation in each successive year. The tournament is held in memory of Chris Read’s father Gil, a long-time men’s fastball coach who died tragically in 2007. As mentioned this year’s MVP award for the tournament was presented in memory of Joel Langford. He was a highly skilled Ottawa fast-
ball player, who died unexpectedly I June of 2015 at the tender age of 26. The first ever Gil Read memorial tournament was played at Carlington Park in Ottawa in 2008. The second event was held at the same venue the following year. Rising costs prompted organizers to seek another location and in 2010 they settled on the expansive Carp Fairgrounds site in the quaint village in the West Carleton section of Ottawa. The venture has been held there ever since! As mentioned CPI pocketed $1,800 while the runners-up Micksburg took home $700. The losing semi-finalists, Quebec Juniors and Kingston, each received $250. The tournament’s namesake, the late Gil Read, led three men’s teams to the Canadian championship in 1993, 1995 and again in 1999. He also coached Team Ontario to gold medals at the 1997, 2001 and 2005 Canada Summer Games. “Next year is the 10th (annual) so we will be holding some special activities in relation to that,” Chris stated. Anyone interested in the Gil Read tournament or those wishing to make a donation to this very worthwhile cause can reach Chris by telephone at 613-292-7379 or contact him by email at: chris@canadiandad.com.

A lot of money is spent on the energy needs of our lifestyles, but did you know that Ontarians spend the majority of their energy dollars controlling the temperature of their home? In the summer, this means keeping it cool, so before cranking up the air conditioning, try a few alternatives first. Even if you’re using air conditioning, you’ll use less and that will lower your electricity use. Here are some helpful guidelines from Hydro One: • Draw the curtains on heat – In the morning, open windows to let cool air in. Then close them, and draw your blinds or drapes during the day. Your home will retain much of the cool morning air. • Let fans move the air – Ceiling fans help cool down your home. They don’t use much electricity and can help reduce the need for air conditioning. Make sure ceiling fans blow air downwards in summer. • Cool down your menus too – One of the easiest things you can do to conserve energy and keep your house cool is to avoid using appliances that heat up the home. In the summer, use the barbecue and include more cold foods and salads in your menu. Try not to use major appliances in the middle of the day. • The real problem may be humidity – Humid homes feel hotter. Use exhaust fans in kitchens, bathrooms and laundry areas to expel the air directly outside (not into walls or attics). Avoid air-drying clothes in the home and don’t store firewood inside. • Check around the house – Examine the caulking and weather stripping around your windows and doors. People tend to think this is a winter preparation, but it is just as useful in the summer to ensure that you keep the cool air in. If you have a window air conditioning unit, clean or replace the filter monthly. Dirty filters may restrict air flow and reduce efficiency. • Turn it off – Lights, appliances and home electronics use a lot of power and give off heat. During the summer, it’s more important than ever to turn them off when you aren’t using them. You’ll save energy twice. Additional tips are available at www.HydroOne.com/SaveEnergy.

Latest Star Trek film goes ‘beyond’ and then some MOVIE: Star Trek Beyond STARRING: Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana, Simon Pegg, John Cho, Anton Yelchin, Sofia Boutella and Idris Elba DIRECTOR: Justin Lin RATING: PG The first thing I have to say is that Star Trek Beyond has the best use of The Beastie Boys’ Sabotage ever. Ever. The second thing is Simon Pegg writes a great Star Trek movie. At the edge of known space the U.S.S. Enterprise docks at Federation star base Yorktown to resupply. While there an alien arrives seeking help for her crew who crashed on a nearby planet. Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) readies his crew for a rescue mission. The Enterprise heads into uncharted territory only to be lured into a trap. A swarm of alien craft overwhelm The Enterprise, and tear her apart. The crew abandon ship, but only a handful make it to the planet without being captured. Kirk, Spock (Zachary Quinto), Bones (Karl Urban), Chekov (Anton Yelchin) and Scotty (Simon Pegg) eventually find each other with the help of another stranded alien named
My Take
MARK HASKINS
Jaylah (Sofia Boutella). Jaylah agrees to help them, and offers her ‘house’ which just happens to be an old Federation ship named The Franklin. Meanwhile Sulu (John Cho), Uhura (Zoe Saldana) and the rest of the crew are being held captive by Krall (Idris Elba). While Scotty attempts to get the Franklin to fly Kirk and the rest mount a rescue mission. It won’t be enough to just free the crew. Krall has plans that go beyond attacking one ship. He has eyes on destroying the Federation starting with Yorktown. There’s nothing like being in the movie theatre and being completely blown away. To be carried away on the wild ride is what movie magic is all about. Star Trek Beyond is exactly that. The sights and sounds are so incredibly real it’s impossible to imagine special effects getting any better than this. The plot is a high-stakes adventure
that will have you gripping your armrest. Yet the dramatic is delicately balanced with inspired moments of humour. It is fast-paced action that never loses sight of the characters and what motivates them. It is everything that was and is great about Star Trek. The cast is riveting to watch and have such a natural chemistry with each other. Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana, Simon Pegg, John Cho, and Anton Yelchin have taken these icons, and managed to remain true to what the original actors did while making these characters their own, and making them fresh and new. New to the crew is Sofia Boutella. She offers the perfect combination of physical prowess and emotional empathy. On the other side Idris Elba has this strength of presence, and a sense of inevitability that makes Krall an implacable force. It’s the kind of performance that sends shivers down your spine. I’m often asked if a movie is worth seeing in the theatre. Star Trek Beyond is the reason movie theatres exist. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature

Baby Everley receives special piece of equipment thanks to local donor STAFF
A recent gift for Baby Everley, a child who suffers from a rare genetic disorder affecting only 1,000 people in the world, solidifies the fact that there really are angels among us. Everley, daughter of Sarah Patterson and Jordan Yolkowskie, was born Jan. 14, this year. She suffers from Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome (CCHS), which affects the body’s autonomic function of the respiratory drive. According to the national rare disorders organization, people with CCHS take shallow breaths during sleep, resulting in inadequate oxygen and a build-up of carbon dioxide in the blood. Ordinarily someone would breathe more deeply or waken, but people with CCHS require mechanized support to maintain breathing patterns. Everley has a tracheostomy and is life dependent on a ventilator when she is sleeping, fatigued, or sick. Since Everley’s birth, Patterson and Yolkowskie have spent much of her young life at CHEO, with the most recent admission being five weeks. “We still have a long road ahead of us with continued investigations and treatment plans,” Patterson said. Everley was also diagnosed with another rare disorder, Glucagon Malfunction, causing her to have critical episodes of hypoglycaemia. Both the baby’s conditions are so rare it makes finding answers or treatments extremely difficult. Patterson and Yolkowskie are both self-employed as personal trainers, and have been forced to reduce time spent working to provide support for Everley throughout her hospital stays. Patterson remains at the hospital with

Baby Everley Yolkowskie will receive a gift from a donor that will enable her parents to monitor her while she sleeps. The gift of a medical piece of machinery costs nearly $10,000 and was made possible by donor Vera Lima and the Lanark Veterinary Clinic and the Carleton Veterinary Services. Everley while Yolkowskie tries to maintain as close to normal a workload as possible while travelling back and forth to CHEO to visit his family. A family friend, Breanna Bedor runs a website for the family www. everleysangels.com on which a journal of sorts logs the family’s journey. There are options for supporters to
offer financial support. A few weeks ago, there was an enquiry from Vera Lima regarding special equipment that the baby may need in the future. The family is hoping to purchase a piece of equipment to help Everley breathe through the night. This machine, the Nellcor N-85, costs about $10,000.
After unsuccessfully obtaining a medical distributor to donate the monitor, Lima didn’t let that deter her. She donated the finances needed to purchase the machine outright. “These parents should not have to worry about anything but their baby and if this alleviates stress and helps them sleep at night when they all come
home, then I’m glad,” Lima said. The Nellcor N-85 is top of the line technology for children and adults diagnosed with CCHS. It’s the best of the best. This technology monitors oxygen levels and constantly paints an accurate picture of respiratory stats. At the first inkling of respiratory distress, Everley’s parents will be alerted. They will be able to detect precisely when to ventilate the baby and they will be able to rest easier and have peace of mind. “When you can’t find the words to appropriately express your thanks and gratitude. You cry, get on your knees and thank God for all the beautiful, selfless, caring, loving people who have graced your life. Thank you to each and every one of our Angels who helps us day and night,” Sara said. “Thank you Vera and family. This is going to help us provide Everley with the precise care she deserves. It’s going to give us peace of mind always, so we can optimize her ventilation requirements. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.” The machine will arrive in a few weeks. Lima said she was only too happy to make it happen. “It is beyond a pleasure to actually be able to make this happen. I truly thank God for this opportunity and making it possible. I also want to thank Sarah Hunter for helping me in finding and tracking down the right contacts. We will soon be posting an official post at the clinics’ page.” Special thanks are sent to Lima and to the Lanark Veterinary Clinic and the Carleton Veterinary Services for their generous donations.

Foodsmiths store celebrates 40 years in business in Perth Laurie Weir
ljweir@metroland.com
It was a homecoming weekend for many in Perth on Friday, July 22, including those who helped Don and Claire Smith celebrate 40 years in business at Foodsmiths The Good Food Store on Wilson Street. “We had woman stop in who told us she had come to our store 40 years ago when it was in Claire’s parents’ shed on the farm,” said Don. From its humble beginnings “back of Lanark” as a place for draft dodgers, hippies and those living off the land to pick up their bulk natural food supplies, to its thriving location on busy Wilson Street in Perth, Don and Clair Smith have stayed true to their customers with good old-fashioned service, by just being nice and helping people as best as they can. “It came naturally in the beginning and now it’s a focus in retail,” Don said about their values. Their entire staff is on the same page. Providing healthy choices, and always thinking about the environment are what keeps the Smiths motivated.
The Smiths support many local initiatives and are always giving back to their community. For instance, Erika Heeson, the head librarian and CAO at the Perth and District Union Library was on hand to help barbecue sausages and hamburgers as a fundraising effort for the library. “It’s wonderful that they chose the library,” Heeson said as she flipped burgers during the rush hour – having a hard time keeping the pace for the demand. Fran Arthur is the public relations coordinator at Foodsmiths, who said the Smiths always keep it local when choosing a charity to help and the library is a great one “because it serves so many people of all ages.” The Smiths have also been big supporters of the Empty Bowls project which helps feed the hungry in Perth and Lanark County. For a $25 fee, local potters provide beautiful hand-crafted bowls and homemade soups can be purchased. Thousands of dollars are raised annually through this effort. There is also a big old fashioned dog-wash which benefits the local animal shelters and the Smiths also offer the BYOB days where custom-
ers are encouraged to bring their own bags to receive discounts. As business leaders in their community, the Smiths have received several accolades over the years including Business of the Year honours from the Perth and District Chamber of Commerce. They have also won several Readers Choice Awards from The Perth Courier, and environmental awards from Lanark County. Nationally, they have been recognized with awards from the Canadian Health Food Association. Claire expressed gratitude to customers over the years

“We’ve had great support right out of the gate,” she said. “It’s fun to have those memories to share and we couldn’t do what we do without our loyal staff and customers.” Friday’s celebrations included a fundraising barbecue, free samples from the store’s suppliers, an anniversary cake to sample and “much love” as staff members donned their best outfits from the 1970s – the decade in which they were established.

Perth churches come together for Sunday worship at Crystal Palace The Psalmist cries out, “Behold how good and pleasant it is when God’s people come together in unity!” Recently, the eight churches in Perth, (Anglican, Baptist, Methodist, Pentecostal, Presbyterian, Roman Catholic, Salvation Army, United) came together to offer a joint worship service in Stewart Park as part of the 200th anniversary celebrations of the Perth Military Settlement on the July homecoming weekend. A good crowd gathered on a sunny afternoon to worship together after being welcomed by First Nations representatives Larry McDermott and Mireille LaPointe who reminded us there is still reconciliation work to be done and that together we must care for creation for the sake of the generations who will follow us. Hymns were sung. Prayers were offered. Brief histories of those eight denominations’ work in Perth were published in the order of service and each church had a few minutes to speak about some work it had pioneered in Perth over the last 200 years. We were reminded that churches and schools were established quickly with the arrival of those first settlers. The Catholic, Presbyterian, and Anglican missions were already in place by 1820. Stories were shared of assistance for education and families and web resources for this day and age. Global missions were well sup

and to love one’s neighbour as oneself. We were encouraged to continue that welcome, work, and witness of olden days into the future. An offering was taken to support two high school student bursaries (one at each high school). The ministerial, through these eight churches, has offered this gift to graduating stu-
dents for over 20 years now. Two hundred years ago, there would not have been the unity across the denominational divides that is possible now. This unity truly, truly is good and pleasant and Perth has much of which to be proud in its Christian heritage and present ministries.
ported and now, we receive the benefit of that work with ministers whose families have come from abroad to bring the gospel message back to Canadians. Skateboarders are welcomed in one of our church buildings. The weekly community dinners were started as an outreach ministry of the churches as was the local foodbank whose work is now organized by The Table. The Salvation Army offers the Thrift store and ministries for those in need. Social justice issues (environmental, women’s equality, gender justice and a welcome to all sexual orientations, ecumenical cooperation and interfaith peacebuilding including discussions with our own First Nations peoples) have been part of our efforts. The sponsorship of two Syrian refugee families to Perth has happened because of the support of the churches. All this is the result of the gospel imperative to love God with heart, soul, mind, and strength
Pastor is fisher of men - fish, less so Rev. Michelet Dormeus First Baptist Church Perth
In my last article, I wrote about this sense of wonder that we experience when contemplating the creation around us. I said that this feeling is trustworthy because God uses his creation to reveal who he is. In that article, I shared some of my personal experiences of amazement from nature. One of them was my recent introduction to fishing which opened my eyes to numerous and beautiful species of fish. After going fishing many times already, I’m still enjoying learning about fish, but this is not so true about fishing itself. The new hobby hasn’t really worked out for me. All I’m getting when I’m getting something are small fish that I don’t even want to catch. I tried fishing with a bobber and some worms, waiting patiently that some bigger fish would get hooked, but those attempts were unsuccessful. I tried different kinds of spoons and went to different lakes and rivers, casting my line again and again for hours only to wonder if or when I will ever be rewarded for my efforts. My unfortunate fishing experiences led me to think of some folks in the Bible who had a worst experience than I have had because they relied on fishing to make a living. In Luke 5:111, when Jesus saw Simon Peter and his fishing buddies, he said to him: “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.”
Simon replied: “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything.” Simon and his companions were very discouraged and tired. They were cleaning their nets before they could get some rest and hopefully some courage to try again. But there was Jesus, inviting them to try again with the promise that they will be successful. Simon Peter made the right choice. He tried again. He put into deep water and let down the net once more. He and his buddies were rewarded with a great catch. Sometimes life seems to not be working out! Our efforts can seem worthless. The doors at which we knock are not opening. We are not selected for the position. Our husband, wife, partners do not see how hard we’ve tried to make the relationship work. Once again, the firm didn’t choose us for the project. The doctor hasn’t yet found a cure. Our child misbehaved again and we have to go to the school… But in those times, like Jesus did with Simon Peter, he can show us the way to go. He knows how to give us hope for today and tomorrow. He knows how discouraged we can be and how much we can bear, but he also knows how to lead us into the deep waters for a great catch. Jesus spoke into the fishermen’s lives and they listened and they tried again with him. Today Jesus can speak to your life, your reality, your struggle, your hopelessness. He knows how to reward you if you place your trust in Him for a new way, a new direction, and a new perspective.

HEROES From front page
England, on Nov. 24, 1918, “What is our task? To make Britain a fit country for heroes to live in.”) The Welsh politician was speaking 13 days after the end of the First World War, a war in which Canadian troops, then under the supervision of Britain, had started to come into its own as a nation on the battlefields of the western front. Many of those key battles, like Vimy Ridge and the Battle of the Somme, took place 100 years ago, in 1916. In the Somme, for example, the Newfoundland Regiment was almost entirely decimated. Going back to the very beginning, 1816, Reid noted that Ontario’s lieutenant governor at the time, Major Francis Gore, was not well-liked, but “he did give his name to Gore Street,” Perth’s major thoroughfare. Gore is perhaps best remembered for dismissing Upper Canada’s parliament in 1817 over the issue of land grants. Had this action occurred a year earlier, it would have been far more difficult for Perth’s European settlers to have claimed their land. The year before, a major volcanic eruption in Indonesia – reportedly the largest since Roman times – deposited 41 cubic kilometres of ash into the atmosphere. It led to the so-called ‘year without summer,’ in 1816, the year the settlers were arriving in the Perth military settlement area. “There seemed to be a dry fog that year… the sky was perpetually yellow,” said Reid. There was snow in August, and a frost in July, making planting and harvesting difficult. “It was a difficult year,” said Reid. “None of the first years were easy.” It was also a difficult time for the Algonquin peoples as well. While the land in and around Perth was given out as a type of reward for British veterans of the War of 1812 and the Napoleonic Wars in Europe, for the Algonquin peoples, who had fought on the side of the British, “their reward was to have some of their land granted (to Europeans) without permission.” Larry McDermott, representing the Algonquins, had spoken earlier in the morning. A member of the Shabot Obaadjiwan First Nation, he observed that more indigenous soldiers died fighting in wars like the War of 1812 and others that preceded it than all of the British, American, and Canadian troops combined. McDermott, a former municipal politician, and a commissioner on the Ontario Human Rights Commission, recalled a wampum belt being sewn to show the friendship between French, British and Indigenous peoples, which Chief William Commanda showed to students at Perth and District Collegiate Institute in the 1980s. The belt was reflective of the 1763 royal proclamation from King George III about the special relationship between the British and indigenous peoples. “He (George) needed to work closely with indigenous people,” McDermott said. Just as there were the makings of a “respectful” relationship
more than 200 years ago, a year like 2016 offers an opportunity to “celebrate” the “hard work” done by all of our ancestors, being mindful that “we need to polish our relationship.” Speaking more generally, Mayor John Fenik said that 2016 would be “a fantastic point in our history.” Back in 1816, the settlers “knew they needed buildings that would stand the test of time.” Celebrating history does make note of architecture, he said, but “it’s about the people,” too. Fenik made a thinly veiled reference to businessman Donald Trump, the Republican Party’s nominee for president in the United States. The party had just held its convention earlier in the week in Cleveland, Ohio, and Fenik stated that “sometimes, politicians to the south look to the dark side of things,” he said. Here in Canada, though, and especially in Perth, he wanted to see citizens “seizing each day like it was your last,” and by “focussing on the positive.” While Gail Code is the deputy reeve of Drummond/North Elmsley (DNE) Township, she is also this year’s Lanark County warden, and she brought greetings from the rest of the region. “This has been an incredible year in Lanark County,” she said, of the celebrations in four areas – Perth, DNE, Tay Valley and Beckwith Townships. “We have seen how this settlement evolved… We are fortunate that so many worked so hard before us.” The region has “always evolved and grown, but never (forgets) where it came from.” Perth’s sister cities were represented as well. Bob Band, deputy provost of Perth and Kinross, Scotland, was in attendance, as was Yukihiro Kakio, education superintendent for the city of Asago, Japan. “I would like to extend my warm wishes and congratulations to all of your and to continue the warm relations between our two cities,” said Kakio.

Two hundred years of gears
W
ow. What a weekend! You may have noticed that this has been a big year around here – with the Perth Military Settlement (Perth, Beckwith, Drummond/North Elmsley and Tay Valley) celebrating its 200th anniversary and all. There have been signature (and other) events in all of the birthday municipalities throughout the year. Perth’s biggie – Blast from the Past Homecoming Weekend – just happened and featured reunions, parades, ceremonies, a tattoo, a stone carving festival, the BBQ block party, Blue Rodeo – to name a few things! Despite the fact Mother Nature has, of late, offered little more than the hot breath of heck in these parts in terms of precipitation, Perth looked beautiful for its birthday party. I attended the “Raisin’ the Devil” Perth & District Collegiate Institute Reunion on Friday night and saw many former teachers and classmates and many generations of Blue Devils. It’s interesting enough to be part of a homecoming weekend when you still live in the homecoming place. It must be an entirely different experience to “come back from away” and wander the halls of your high school and see all the changes. For me, I can safely say I was there just a few weeks ago – attending Boychild’s Grade 8 (eeeep!) graduation. So I was already quite familiar with the renovations made to accommodate the intermediate students at the high school, as well as the changes to improve accessibility (since that school has a kabillion different levels). It was neat, though, to stand in the hallways with old friends and remove the parent hat and try to remember where everyone’s lockers were and reminisce about that time we...well... never mind. I should probably try to retain some semblance of role modelling here. (We were, by the way, shocked that the hand-washing fountain no longer exists in the girls’ washroom on the second floor. It was a true centrepiece.) There were, of course, a lot of unfamiliar faces in the crowd amid the known ones. It’s funny to think that, for all the people who you know went away, there is a very large number who stayed or came back after a bit (like I did). Perusing the memorabilia and seeing the names of graduates or reunion attendees, it’s cool to see how many remained/returned to become community builders. It makes me smile because I know

there was a time – near the end of high school – when I could think of nothing I wanted more than to leave this place. I hadn’t ruled out coming back someday, but I was certainly keen to get out of Dodge. I landed back here sooner than I imagined I would (and, apparently, stayed). I quickly learned that once you experience your home town as a “grown up,” it becomes a much different place. You see how things work. You understand the gears, and you can choose to become one of them. One of the biggest things you learn about “how things work” is that it takes people to make a community. Buildings, institutions and events are part of the structure, but you need the people behind them to make this a good place. So if you stop for a moment and think just about the Homecoming Weekend and all of the associated events that were part of it and the number of volunteers and partners and sponsors it took to make it happen, you realize what a lot of wonderful people we have here. Members of our community are doing good things every day. When I moved back home as an employed adult, I remember being astonished by the sheer number of things that happen here (and everywhere, really) that wouldn’t happen without someone saying, “Our community needs this. I believe in it. I’m going to do it.” And then people step up to help. This is in addition to the people who simply live and work here and make things go – the gears. They are business owners, municipal workers, doctors, nurses, police, firefighters, teachers, elected officials, bankers, car salespeople, factory workers, cashiers, cooks, cleaners – everyone. When we have an event like Homecoming Weekend, it’s an opportunity to showcase how beautiful our town and townships are and to display how it has changed and grown. It’s also, of course, a chance to commemorate our history while celebrating who we are at this moment. I daresay we’re a pretty nice group of people who know how to make things go. Happy 200th!

Brexit: Paradise Lost, or Independence Day?

ympna took one look at the paperwork and likely sighed. As a recently-graduated teacher, she knew all about paperwork and educational bureaucracy. It was 2006 and “wee Dympie,” as my father called her, had just finished her teachers’ college studies at Nipissing University in North Bay, Ont. She was sitting in an office that hooked recent graduates up with teaching positions in Great Britain. While she was looking forward to living and working abroad, her eyes must have glazed over at the papers spread out before her. As the official began his talk about what papers needed what signatures for her to work as a Canadian in Britain, a light popped on in her head. “But, I have an Irish passport,” she said, her hand reaching into her

Why didn’t you say so?” way, and he swept all the paperwork aside – save for one sheet, which she would need for a British social insurance number. As the ad says, that was easy. It’s been more than a month now since the Brexit referendum, and quite a few voters woke up with some serious regret on the morning of June 24. The referendum that was supposed to solve everything instead opened up

a whole new can of worms. The man who would be king, or, prime minister rather, Boris Johnson, the former London mayor, was stabbed in the back by the now-former Justice Minister Michael Gove, who launched his own leadership bid behind his friend’s back. The duo who had won the Brexit referendum – and then admitted that, no, they had no plan for the morning after – quickly turned on each other. Johnson had to abandon his leadership bid on the morning nominations closed. But, karma being what it is, Gove went on to lose – badly – and now Britain has its second female prime minister, former Home Secretary Theresa May. Johnson is now the Foreign Affairs minister, and Gove is on the back benches.

COLUMN From page P8
So much for the summertime being the “silly season” for news! Late into the evening of June 23, I watched CPAC’s rebroadcast of ITV’s coverage of the referendum results, with that sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. I felt sad to see this happen. For all of the EU’s faults – and what multinational bureaucracy, from the United Nations to NATO is without them – the organization did usher in an era of peace and prosperity seldom seen in Europe. The United Nations is rife with cronyism and ineffectiveness, but it also does a lot of good. Reform can only come from within. And here’s the irony for my wife. Her best friend from college, Ania, now lives and works in Brussels for a Polish MEP (Member of the European Parliament). Bureaucrats are people too (and she’s a great friend too – Ania talked me up to Stacey at college, nudging her to date that boy with the glasses from Brampton. Hooray for Ania!) People in the Ukraine can only look on and wonder at what the Brits did. They would love nothing more than to be in the EU. Growing up in Brampton, there was a large contingent of Portuguese kids in my class at St. Joseph Catholic elementary school, many from the Azores Islands. It was not unusual to hear Portuguese on the playground, and for first cousins to be in the same class. I can still remember the Portuguese kids – many of whom had come over with their families in the late ’70s and early ’80s after their homeland’s dictatorship was overthrown in 1974 during the Carnation Revolution – being happy that Portugal joined the EEC (European Economic Community) in 1986. “It’s like if you have a stool with only three legs,” said one kid, explaining it to the class, how Portugal’s economy was teetering. Joining the EU, he said, would be like adding a fourth leg. It would bring stability to Portugal’s economy, and their extended family back home. The vote against Europe was not without merit. Brussels may have overstepped itself in regards to its parliament and courts superseding those of sovereign nations, and it is understandable that a country would want to have controls over its own borders. We in Canada welcome the world, but we too have a set number, that fluctuates, but is still there. We also have criteria immigrants have to meet. Imagine a pan-North American body with its own court system that superseded Canada’s, as well as a parliament and bureaucracy in, say, Kansas City, that dictated how many immigrants Canada had to take in.
It would grate. In some ways, my family has an AngloIrish strain to it. My mother and father lived in England from 1967 to 1970. My sister Wilhelmina was born at what is now the Sussex Maternity and Women’s Hospital in Brighton, and two of my uncles are from England. My cousin Jason has been able to use his Irish passport to work in Malta doing animal research. My brother studied at an acclaimed Irish dancing school in Brighton and worked for a human resources company – run by an Irish fellow and his South African wife. My aforementioned sister Dympna worked as a teacher there – and, interestingly, one of her first classes was “British Citizenship.” “Oh yeah,” she joked later. “Give it to the Canadian girl just off of the plane.” The benefits of sticking together are many, and it goes beyond free stuff, like the museums my father and I were able to sail into in Spain in 1997, as they were free to EU citizens. In 1998, I took a ride with a friend of the family, a young man named Peter. He enjoyed racing stock cars on the weekend, and as we bombed down a back country lane in County Longford, it showed. As my brother and sister cheered each tight turn and acceleration in the back seat, I, seated in the passenger seat, held on to the door for dear life. I called into the back seat, “Does anyone remember the words to the ‘Act of Contrition?’” fearing I may meet my maker on these roads. His girlfriend at the time, now his wife, my Aunt Bernadette, called out for him to slow down. I was lucky to have a good driver at the wheel. Others are not so lucky. Living in Ireland myself in 2001, it made for sober reading to enter a county and see a road sign saying, “Welcome to County Clare,” with a smaller sign underneath: “66 people killed on County Clare roads last year.” During my last visit back in 2012, my cousin Darren was in the car with me as we passed through Ballinamuck. He looked out the window as I prepared to turn onto a new road, the R198 that had just been built with EU money. He pointed down and said, “that used to be the old road.” There it was, the very same old, twisty twolane road I had driven in down from Dublin with my mother and father as a child, now cracked, and overrun with weeds and vegetation. As always, sure doesn’t it bring to mind a song? For some reason, down at my old “haunt,” The Galway Arms in Toronto, the jaunty old song “On The One Road,” would always precede, and sometimes slide seamlessly into the Irish national anthem, “A Soldiers Song,” but the lyrics are, I feel, appropriate for an era
in which – to echo Pope Francis from earlier this year – we need to be building bridges, not walls. “We’re on the one road, sharing the one load/We’re on the road to God knows where,” it begins. “We’re on the one road, it may be the wrong road/But we’re together now who cares? Northmen, southmen, comrades all! Dublin, Belfast, Cork and Donegal/We’re on the one road, swinging along, singin’ a soldier’s song.”

Maybe the Remain campaign should have gotten a band together (Darren on accordion, my uncles Mike, John and aunt, Maria, who also used to be in a band themselves) to tour Britain with this song.

Blue Rodeo played to a sold-out crowd in Perth on Saturday, July 23, during Homecoming weekend. It was a busy one for the Lanark County town as folks were lining up with their lawn chairs long before the popular Canadian band took to the stage. Jim Cuddy (above right) and the band were also in Kemptville Friday night for its live outdoor concert. By all accounts, the Blue Rodeo shows were amazing!

Young volunteer shines at award ceremony
The Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital has another great reason to celebrate its people. On May 30, 2016, Lucie Bingley received the “Ontario Medal for Young Volunteers” at a ceremony held at Queen’s Park in Toronto.The ceremony was followed by a reception and dinner hosted by the Lieutenant Governor, the Honourable Elizabeth Dowdeswell. The “Ontario Medal for Young Volunteers” was established in 1998 and honours youth between the ages of 15 and 24 who have given a large amount of their time to a charitable or not-for-profit organization. The medals are presented by the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario. At the ceremony this year, 10 youth received this wonderful distinction. “It is a privilege to volunteer at the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital. I hope I can make a difference,” said Lucie Bingley, award recipient. At the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital, Lucie can be found supporting the dialysis and laboratory departments with activities and events or offering a kind word or smile to any visitor, patient or hospital team member. She is well-known for her thoughtful demeanor and quiet support and is truly an asset to the hospital. “Like all volunteers who support the hospital, Lucie is
extremely dedicated and always goes above and beyond her duties. She does so much for patients and she is also a wonderful ambassador for our organization,” said Bev McFarlane, president and CEO. Lucie joined the hospital through St. John Catholic High School co-operative education program and worked in both the dialysis department and clinical laboratory. She continued to volunteer and assist both areas once her co-op placement concluded and regularly volunteers four to five days a week.

Sackmann followed the Martins for 24 months to get the material for his book. “After two years of following them, I feel that their objectives and methodology haven’t changed. I’m impressed by how deeply they delve into the lives of the families they touch. And they don’t let go. Yes, they’ve had some disappointments but their net of hope just keeps growing.” Interwoven with accounts of their experiences are candid descriptions of the areas in which they work, along with ancillary information about school systems, socio-economic conditions and life styles. Sackmann explains that the surroundings are important in making judgments on value and effectiveness of their work. He gives readers a fly-on-the-wall view of the Martins in action. “Learning about just one kid – never mind the myriad of children they help – who has become a teacher or skilled technology specialist is special. The sense of achievement experienced by supporters who have enabled so many achieve their dreams is personal and real.” Along with the school supplies Tom is taking to Uganda is a wheelchair. It is for a severely disabled orphan who Helping Cope Through Hope scooped up and enrolled in a special needs school. His sponsors are now giving him more independence with a chair sized specifically for him. Sackmann is scheduled to be signing books at Knox Presbyterian Church in Westport, Aug. 7 from 12:30 to 3 p.m. His book is also available on-line from Chapters and Amazon. Sackmann said the book puts the Martins and their work into context, explaining how they raise money, how they are positioned in the charity world, and it describes the areas in which they work. “Of course the anchor is the personal stories of individuals,” the author added, “including their interactions with the Martins.”

Tom and Cheryl Martin are packing books, clothes and computers for children preparing for college and university, just like other parents in Canada, except that Tom will be delivering the supplies in August to the heart of Africa. Their kids are 15 students in Uganda who have been guided through school by the Martins’ charity Helping Cope Through Hope, and who now are on the verge of post-secondary education on the way to careers most have never thought possible. Some are entering university, while others will be in college or vocational schools. They are in the vanguard of more than 200 young people in Africa and Peru that the Martins count as “their family” and who are being steered into school through the Martins and North American sponsors The evolution of their unusual mission, which began more than a decade ago, is the subject of a new book by Westport author Allen Sackmann, entitled Following the Martins: a Story of Bringing Hope in Peru, Zambia and Uganda. He follows the retired Napanee couple from the days of an idea through the early stages of a mission where emphasis is on children, many of them orphans, who need help to go to school but only after they have some food to eat. Sackmann said the Martins have an impressive mission project with many unusual characteristics. “They pay all of their own expenses,” he said. “Of their 350 and growing number of supporters, 25 percent have travelled, also at their own expense, to help with projects. Donations last year were about $240,000, double the amount from 2013… They do not overtly appeal for donations.” Sackmann introduces some of the children and tracks them through the school system, introduces parents and nominal caregivers where they exist, with side trips to the markets, hospitals and churches. “What really fascinated me is that theirs is such a go-it-alone enterprise,” Jackman said. “No apparent structure. They pay their own expenses. All money donated by their growing circle of supporters goes to children and families they have identified. In 2013-14, that amounted to about $120,000 and has grown to $240,000 in 2016.” Sackmann said the Martins’ priority is to get extremely needy children into school. “They support and guide them, if the kids are diligent, all the way through high school and college or university,” he said. “The emphasis is on education and self-sufficiency. They work side-by-side with the locals to instruct and help them gain meaningful employment or to be selfreliant.”

Perth Skate Church raising funds for week-long Road Rage trip The Perth Skate Church ministry is holding a fundraising event Friday, Aug. 5, in support of Road Rage. It’s not what you think. This type of road rage is different. Road Rage is the name given to an annual event that brings skateboarders together for a week of skating, travel, and fun. Billed as the “best week in a skater’s life,” Road Rage is a week-long skating road trip which is a combination of contest, camp, and film festival. A team of skaters travel to scheduled stops all across Ontario, creating a video of their journey along the way. At the end of the week, the various teams create a video montage of their trip, and the videos are then screened and judged, with prizes going to the winning video. A team from Perth Skate Church is hoping to participate in this year’s event, and is raising funds to cover costs associated with the trip. From humble beginnings only six years ago, Perth Skate Church has grown in size to the point where there could be up to 50 kids or more visiting the church basement at St. James Anglican Church on any given Friday evening. So much so, that according to organizer Roman Kowalewski, that they’ve had to split the skaters into two different age groups. “We have the
eight- to 16-year-olds skate from 6 to 8 p.m., while the older kids skate from 8 to 10 or 11 p.m.,” says Kowalewski. This program is unique in our area, and because of that, draws skaters from a wide area including Perth, Smiths Falls, Brockville, Carleton Place, and beyond. But Perth Skate Church is more than just skateboarding… it’s also grown into a positive mentorship and support program that’s made a difference in the lives of the skaters and volunteers alike. “Perth Skate Church is a safe alternative,” says Kowalewski, “a safe place for kids to go and hang out on a Friday night.” And, doing something they enjoy. However, there will be no skating on this fundraising night. With the ramps put away for the Submitted photo summer, this night will be all about the music! Perth’s Skate Church is gearing up for fundraiser Aug. 5 in support of Road Rage trip. With a great lineup of talented local performers from across the region, you’re invited to enR0012465537_1219 joy this night of live music in support of Road Rage 2016, and the Skate Church Ministry.

Attendance is free. “Thanks to the generosity of Derrick Du Toit, we will be displaying two original James Krenov creations. In addition to the jury prize, we will again have our people’s choice award, based on the votes of everyone attending the opening night wine and cheese,” said Conference Chairman Wayne Richardson. Conference participants as well as the general public can also visit with selected commercial vendors in The Emporium. “The Woodworks speaker line-up is an allCanadian cast of some of the best furniture making talent in the country,” said Richardson.

Perth is historic, beautiful and offers many attractions and activities in addition to the conference.” Attendees will be able to attend seminars, meet and mingle with each other, take in the furniture exhibit and browse the wares of selected commercial vendors.

One-two finish for Ian and Jonathon Millar in $10,000 horse show
Father and son, Ian and Jonathon Millar, of Perth, battled it out for victory in the $10,000 Karson Modified Grand Prix on Saturday, July 23, at the CSI2* Ottawa International Horse Show in Ottawa. Ten-time Canadian Olympian Ian Millar emerged the victor while Jonathon finished second and third in the international show jumping event taking place at Wesley Clover Parks. From a 19-horse starting field, four entries jumped clear over the track set by 2016 Rio Olympic course designer Guilherme Jorge to advance to the jumpoff. Of those four jump-off contenders, three had the last name Millar, with Ian qualifying Baranus and Jonathon qualifying both of his entries, Cobalt and Caprice. First back for the jump-off, Jonathon moved into the lead with Cobalt, having stopped the clock in 48.78 seconds, before Ian took to the expansive grass grand prix field aboard Baranus. Known as ‘Captain Canada’ to his fans, Ian did not disappoint the crowd at Wesley Clover Parks, galloping to the fences and slicing the turns to come home in a time of 45.25 seconds, more than three full seconds faster than his son. “I wanted to go in and lay it down a little bit because I had another horse at the end,” said Jonathon, 41, of his jump-off strategy with his first horse, Cobalt, a nine-year-old Oldenburg gelding (Check In x Contendro I) owned by Jim and Judith Chapman. “Cobalt jumped great. His strong suit is to gallop all over the field, so I used that a little bit to my advantage, and then it was just sort of a waiting game after that to see where we ended up.” “Jonathon’s first horse, Cobalt, is just learning to go fast, so I had a pretty good idea of what Jonathon was going to do with that one, and he did,” said Ian, 69. “Unfortunately for the next rider, she had rails Photos by Ben Radvany Photography down so it definitely was going to be a Millar win today!

Whiskey Jack brings the sounds of Stompin’ Tom to Carleton Place Sept. 8 It promises to be an evening sprinkled with fond memories of a Canadian music icon. Toronto-based Whiskey Jack brings its Stories & Songs of Stompin’ Tom show to the Neelin Street Community Centre in Carleton Place on Thursday, Sept. 8. “Stompin’ Tom Connors is a legend in Carleton Place,” Bob White said. White is one of the show’s organizers. Also helping out is deputy mayor Jerry Flynn. He called Connors “a national treasure.” “Stompin’ Tom was important to our town, and he was important to the Ottawa Valley,” he said. Connors died of natural causes on March 6, 2013. He was 77-years-old. Whiskey Jack has been performing country, roots and bluegrass music in North America since 1977, with four critically acclaimed recordings, nationally charted radio hits and so
In 2013, Carleton Place erected a giant mural of Stompin’ Tom Connors. The mural, painted by Ottawa artist Shaun McInnis, is located on the side of the building next to the former Mississippi Hotel. It features a smiling Connors in a black cowboy hat and with a guitar. Submitted photo
much more. Too, they often backed Connors. Now, through their new show, Stories & Songs of Stompin’ Tom, they pay homage to him. Brockville’s Chris Hum is another show organizer, and White met him through Jamie Law, during the Law and Orders benefit in town on April 17. Hum is known as the Valley Shantyman, and performing 200 shows a year, he is the resident musician at Wilderness Tours Adventure Resort in the Renfrew area. “I do a hecklers and hooligans road show,” he said. “It’s a way to get the rowdies fired up.” Hum first met Whiskey Jack leader Duncan Fremlin last winter. “I was invited to perform with them,” he told the Canadian Gazette. Other members of Whiskey Jack are Bob McNiven (guitar, vocals), See WHISKEY JACK page 46

WHISKEY JACK
From page 45
Howard Willett (harmonica, vocals), Randy Morrison (fiddle), Jen Cook (vocals), Eric Jackson (bass), Al Cross (drums) and Michelle Josef (drums). Fremlin’s job: vocals and banjo. “Duncan has been a great mentor, and I want to thank him for his guidance,” Hum said. “I’m indebted to him and the band.” After the Law and Orders fundraiser, “Chris and I started talking... he really wanted to bring this show to Carleton Place,” White said. Hum is the opening act on Sept. 8. Doors open at 5 p.m., with the Stories & Songs of Stompin’ Tom getting underway in the large upstairs hall at 7 p.m. The seating style is theatre. White noted the event is licensed, and “the bar will be open from 5:30 p.m. until the show starts.” Refreshments will not be served during the performance; however, the bar will be open during the intermission and afterwards. “Law and Orders is handling the food, which will be available for purchase,” White said. “You just know it will be good,” Flynn said. Hum will perform for about one hour. Then, it’s Whiskey Jack at 8 p.m. “The group will play for approxi-

mately 60 minutes before we take a break,” Hum said. “Whiskey Jack is then back for another set.” “I can’t wait!” he said about the show. “It’s going to be an honour for me to join them on stage – again.” Charlie Kitts, a 2010 inductee into the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame, is the event’s emcee. “The one and only Charlie Kitts,” White said with a smile. “It couldn’t be anyone but Charlie,” Flynn added. After the show, Whiskey Jack will be selling CDs, signing autographs and taking pictures. White noted he and Flynn have worked together on a number of Carleton Place shows, “and we always put our heart and soul into it.” “If a show is coming to town, we want it to be successful,” he said. Tickets, which go on sale on Aug. 2, are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. They can be picked up at the following locations: Carleton Place arena; Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce office; SRC Music in Carleton Place; Mark’s Cobbler Shop in Perth; Law and Orders in Innisville; Naismiths Sports Pub in Almonte; and Nicholson’s Sundries in Pakenham. Online sales are available at https://1000islands. snapd.com/#/events/view/969874. “We only have 375 tickets to sell,” White said. “They will go fast.”

The show is general admission. Each ticket comes with a complimentary beer tasting from the Whitewater Brewing Company. To put on a show like this, it takes the support of sponsors and partners – the community. The event’s title sponsor is Law and Orders, and Century 21 Explorer Realty Inc. is looking after the tickets. Hospitality arrangements are courtesy of Generations Inn, and the Whitewater Brewing Company is responsible for the beer. Other show sponsors include Ryno Motors Sales & Service, Topps Environmental Solutions, Motorhouse. com and Alan R. Barker Funeral Home & Cremation Services (John Bowes). “Anyone we approached for sponsorship, it was like a game of poker...everyone was all in,” Hum said. “And when we were looking at dates, we took into consideration the fall fairs,” White explained. “Besides, people don’t mind going out on a Thursday night.” Flynn noted Connors always performed on Thursday nights. White is the senior facility operator for the recreation and culture department. In his 36 years with the town, there have been three Stompin’ Tom concerts. The shows were held on the arena one slab, with Connors getting dressed in the old referees room.
“I remember him drinking 12 warm Moosehead,” White said. Too, when Connors was around, “Alan (Barker) would sit with him behind the Mississippi Hotel parking, chatting and smoking,” the organizer added. “I saw him perform at the Mississippi Hotel in 1967,” Flynn recounted, “and he wore out a chunk of three-quarter plywood.” Spending the good part of the summer in Carleton Place back then, Conners played and stayed at the Mississippi Hotel, which was owned by Lorraine Lemay. He also spent a little bit of time at the Kemptville Hotel, which was also owned by Lemay. Connors penned his hit song about French Canadian folk hero Big Joe Mufferaw at the Mississippi Hotel, and he helped save the building from demolition. Today, Connors is looking out over the former Mississippi Hotel. In 2013, the town erected a giant mural of the icon. The mural, painted by Ottawa artist Shaun McInnis, is located on the side of the building next to the hotel. It features a smiling Connors in a black cowboy hat and with a guitar. Underneath are the following lyrics: “Everyone’ll tell ya around Carleton Place the Mississippi dripped off of Big Joe’s face.” Whiskey Jack continuously sells out shows across the country. In
February this year, they delighted Hugh’s Room in Toronto for Connors’ 80th birthday celebration - sharing the stage with Gordon Lightfoot, JP Cormier and other special guests. Former Governor General Adrienne Clarkson was the emcee. Conners’ songs have become part of the Canadian cultural landscape. Three of his best-known songs – Sudbury Saturday Night, Bud the Spud and The Hockey Song. In addition to plenty of parking, the Neelin Street Community Centre, located at 75 Neelin St., is fully accessible. Watch a future edition of this newspaper for an interview with Fremlin.

‘Tis the season to watch out for other drivers Summer travel season is definitely in high swing and with it comes a collision risk we all need to consider. I got a heart-pounding lesson in this risk recently as I came close to being involved in a multi-vehicle pile-up. While travelling my usual route from work to home recently I noted a mid-sized sedan making a legal U-turn on the two-lane road ahead. There was one vehicle between it and mine and we both had good unobstructed views and were able to slow down to allow the misguided driver to make his/her maneuver. This vehicle was originally travelling in the oncoming lane and obviously missed its turn. Once it completed the U-turn it immediately began executing a left turn to get back onto the missed laneway. That’s when a pick-up truck behind me decided to pass on a doubleline to avoid the slow-down and the turning sedan impacted the truck’s right rear wheel as it went by. You might think that this was just going to be a fender bender, but because of the truck’s speed and the angle of impact, the truck spun out and its driver was lucky to bring it back under control. Oh and I forgot to mention this all occurred on a bridge over a river so hopefully that truck driver went out and bought a lottery ticket because he was smiled upon by a very benevolent spirit. The moral is, never assume any vehicle you share the road with is going to make predictable moves. During our vacation season there are a lot of drivers out there who are unfamiliar with the territory and missed turns, slow-downs, and U-turns increase exponentially. Before heading out on that camping or boating trip with your trailer in tow, check first to see if your vehicle’s wheel jack will work on the trailer and that you have a serviceable spare for it. It’s amazing the number of temporarily abandoned expensive boat and camper trailers we see on the roadside during summer travel season that have a flat. Not only does this leave property at risk of theft, it also creates a hazard to other motorists. Don’t forget to make sure you have a proper lug nut wrench for the trailer wheels. If you’re missing any of this vital equipment, a quick trip to your neighbourhood auto-parts store can easily rectify things without a major expense. And while we’re on the topic of towing, don’t assume you can eliminate an overloaded vehicle
Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER
by simply transferring gear to the trailer. All vehicles have various weight ratings and no matter where the heavy gear goes (whether in the vehicle or the trailer), the auto’s engine and transmission are still responsible for moving it. Check your vehicle’s Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) which will indicate the limits it’s built for in terms of total weight of the vehicle, its occupants and gear as well as the trailer. If you’re near the limit and are towing a boat or other motorized craft, and want to trim some pounds, don’t tow with a full load of fuel on the trailer. Yes, it may cost a few more dollars to purchase fuel at your waterside destination, but that small amount pales in comparison with the bill for a cooked drive-train.

Ghost Stories at Full Circle Theatre: ‘Local’ history becomes real theatre A newcomer to BarnDoor Productions’ rehearsals once watched the group going through the process of shaping their production and commented: “You people do real theatre!” An excellent illustration of that is Ghost Stories, The Legend of Oliver’s Landing, which opens next week at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre. Although based on a local legend, written and composed by a locally-based author and brought to the stage by local performers, Ghost Stories goes well beyond what might be expected of a “local” show. It is, in the words of CBC Radio, “grim, funny, clever . . . thrilling, indeed!” The “musical chiller” is being mounted by BarnDoor Productions (Perth’s original community theatre) as the third in their summer-long series of all-original, all-local productions celebrating the 200th anniversary of the Perth Military Settlement. The Legend of Oliver’s Landing is a story from the very beginnings of Perth’s settlement. In 1822, John Oliver and his wife ran the ferry and a little inn on the shore of Big Rideau Lake, at what is now called Rideau Ferry. The legend says that Oliver was a belligerent, quarrelsome man and that he and his wife were murdered in a dispute involving some of the area’s First Nations people – and that, when their cabin was torn down many years later, human skeletons were found in
Preparing a legendary local show: The company of BarnDoor Productions’ Ghost Stories, The Legend of Oliver’s Landing sing one of the number in their first on-set rehearsal last Sunday at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre. The show is about, by and for the community, but it packs an entertainment punch that goes far beyond its “local” origins. Submitted photo
the cellar. That’s about all of the “fact” that is known – the legend has grown since. Author David Jacklin took the “skeleton” of this story and created a Broadway-style musical about it, one that, in previous productions, has proven to be a crowd-pleasing, crowdchilling piece of entertainment. From romantic lovers to maniacal murderers, Ghost Stories, The Legend of Oliver’s Landing packs a huge wallop of thrills, chills, laughs and excitement into its under-two-hour run-time. Songs range from the comic, like Gelt! where the Olivers’ dream of what it would be like to have the
money that some of their guests have, to the darkly disturbing, like Victims where Mr. Oliver thinks about the things he has done, to the soaringly romantic, like For You where a pair of fleeing lovers pledge their loyalty, to the just plain strange, like Pleasant Little Murders where the company outline the possibilities the Olivers are contemplating before they begin their nefarious careers. It’s a “full-score” musical, with a big orchestral sound. The Brockville Recorder and Times said, “Followers of good theatre can all rejoice! Ghost Stories is bewitching, believable and, above all, blatantly unpredictable.” And, that’s the ex-

citing thing about the show: you may think you know where it’s going, but you’ll have no idea of how it’s going to get there. You can be assured, however, that it’s going to be bumpy ride!” BarnDoor has gathered a company of fourteen to mount the show, with Julie Kevan, who impressed so much earlier in the summer in The Great Perth Temperance Soiree, as Mrs. Oliver, a role that involves both quickness of tongue and stamina, as her two big solos don’t appear until the second act. Author/composer David Jacklin has stepped into the role of Mr. Oliver for one last time, an unplanned excursion which, nevertheless, fits him like a
glove, having played the axe-wielding Oliver back in 1992, that time playing opposite wife Janice, who has moved to the director’s chair for this production. Ghost Stories, The Legend of Oliver’s Landing has proven itself both exciting and memorable. One odd thing about the show is that patrons who have seen the show in the past and are phoning to order tickets to see it again never quite seem to remember the name: “that Oliver’s Landing show” seems to be the usual. Either way, get your tickets and see it. Based on the memories of returning patrons, it’s a show that will stick with you for a long time. Ghost Stories, The Legend of Oliver’s Landing will run for three weekends at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre: Aug. 5, 6, 11, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20 at 7:30 p.m. and Aug. 7, 14, and 21 at 1:30 p.m. Note the summer curtain time is one-half hour earlier than our usual. Full Circle Theatre is at 26 Craig Street, Perth, near Last Duel Park. Tickets are just $20 reserved; $22 at the door. Students are $10 any time. To reserve, simply call 613-267-1884. No credit cards are required; cash at the performance is requested. For more information, including all the events at Full Circle Theatre, go to www.barndoorproductions.ca.

Perth Military Settlement 200th Anniversary
Tay Valley Settlers Day: Cultivating heritage at Lanark County Plowing Match On Saturday Aug. 20, the eastern Ontario township of Tay Valley will have a few less untilled fields! That’s because it will be hosting the 2016 Lanark County Plowing Match and Settlers Heritage Day. The annual plowing match will be a picture perfect backdrop to showcase the township’s 200th anniversary celebrations. The tractors will be revving and the furrows will be unfolding from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the heritage Moodie-Cameron Farm located at 2677 Scotch Line/Hwy 10 in Tay Val-
ley, five minutes south of Perth. And best news of all…it’s free! With 200 years of strong rural traditions and culture, Tay Valley Township will be dovetailing a special Settlers Heritage Day with the annual Lanark County Plowing Match as part of its 2016 signature celebratory events. Welcoming families, farmers, visitors, locals and competitors, the day will begin with a pancake breakfast featuring real maple syrup and continue on to showcase Submitted photos sheep shearing, fence Tay Valley Township plays host to the 2016 Lanark County Plowing building demonstrations,

Coinciding with the match, the township is also planning a special Settlers Heritage Day to honour the 200th anniversary of the Perth Military Settlement.

storytelling and a puppet show for the little ones, tractor pulls, First Nations drumming, music by the Bowes Brothers, local food and much more. Tay Valley Township Reeve Keith Kerr says, “With such strong rural roots here in Tay Valley, we felt that the Lanark County Plowing Match would be the perfect venue to host our celebration of heritage. Our wish is to share the natural beauty and genuineness of our region with anyone who wants to experience an authentic rural tradition. As a thank you, we have made admission free so everyone can enjoy.” And of course there’s the plowing! This is where things turn a little more serious. Competitors will be vying not only for first place within their divisions, but to earn points to continue on for qualification for subsequent plowing matches. Not a sport to be taken lightly, judges will be eyeing up the furrows, tallying up points for straightness, cut, uniformity, closeness, packing and a dizzying litany of requirements and
guidelines. Men, women, seasoned veterans and young agriculturalists alike will be out in their literal fields proving their coordination and skill. It is with special pride that this year’s plowing match is being hosted on the farm of a former Ontario Queen of the Furrow winner Trina Code. Trina proudly took the provincial title back to her home Lanark County in 1990. The plowing match continues to be a venue for women to show their skills in the agricultural world celebrating more than 55 years of Queen of the Furrow competitions. Barrie Crampton will be featuring an interactive historical mapping project made possible through the donated work of CGIS Spatial Solutions of Perth. The map shows the original lot boundaries for Perth, Drummond/ North Elmsley, Tay Valley and Beckwith that were granted to European arrivals and disbanded soldiers from the War of 1812, along with various types of land grants (e.g. See SETTLERS page 52

Crown) and information about the original settlers, such as where they were from, how many were in their families and more. Digital mapping is integral in telling the story of the Perth Military Settlement by resurrecting the original maps of the survey done in 1815. The day will also be a venue for local heritage farms to celebrate their 100, 150 or 200 years of family ownership. These qualifying farms will be presented with commemorative “Legacy Farm” certificates honouring their contributions to the area’s development. To qualify for Legacy Farm certification, farms had to meet designation criteria. This meant that direct descendants of the
same family should have owned the farm for 100, 150 or 200 consecutive years; a family member should still own the farm; the farm should still be at least 50 acres in size but does not need to be in active operation; and that incorporated farms and farm properties could be divided among several descendants. Farm owners were invited to qualify for the Legacy Farm project as part of the joint celebration of the 200th anniversary of the Perth Military Settlement. Other displays and presentations will focus on the township’s settler and indigenous history and rural origins. There will be genealogical displays, antique exhibits and heritage crafts, such as weaving. Families, with all their generations, are en-
couraged to come celebrate, with activities for the young and the young at heart. In the tradition of neighbourly visiting, a unique socializing tent will be available where folks and family can catch up on news and conversation or just relax in the shade and talk about this year’s Plowing Match winners and 200th anniversary celebrations. The annual Lanark County Plowing Match is organized by the Lanark County Plowmen’s association. Settlers Heritage Day is presented by the 200th anniversary working group of Tay Valley Township.

Sugarman shines in Classic Theatre Festival comedy Arms and the Man Lana Sugarman is pledged to the boisterous soldier Sergius (Lindsay Robinson, on one knee) but finds herself attracted to a soldier from the other side, Captain Bluntschli (Scott Clarkson) in the Classic Theatre Festival comedy Arms and the Man, playing until August 14 at 54 Beckwith Street East in Perth.

In the Classic Theatre Festival production of George Bernard Shaw’s comedy Arms and the Man (playing until Aug. 14 at 54 Beckwith Street East in Perth), audiences are first introduced at the top of the show to the romantic, young, passionate Raina, played with aplomb by multi-talented Toronto performer Lana Sugarman. This year marks her first season in Perth following three summers with the St. Lawrence Shakespeare Festival in Prescott. A graduate of the stellar Sheridan Musical Theatre program – where the intensive program combines everything from clown and tap dance to writing and playing songs – Sugarman first got bitten by the theatre bug in high school. Although she had seen a good deal of theatre in Saskatchewan while growing up, it was English teachers encouraging their students to memorize and perform monologues, as well as a grade 10 musical, that convinced her that she enjoyed being under the spotlights. Sealing the deal was stepping in at the last minute for a dinner theatre role in the Alan Ayckbourn comedy Relatively Speaking. Once out of school, Sugarman played in Romeo and Juliet and Othello with the Classical Theatre Project (which brings Shakespeare to schools) and then embarked on a seven-month, North American tour with the children’s show Clifford the Big Red Dog. Recent roles playing Shakespeare on the St. Lawrence have included Audrey in As You Like It, Desdemona in Othello, and varied roles in The Merchant of Venice, Taming of the Shrew and measure for Measure. “Playing Shakespeare in the outdoors is great fun and also an adventure, not least when an occasional duck walks into your scene or you have to play dead while being eaten by mosquitoes,” Sugarman laughs. Playing Raina in Arms and the Man is a treat, she says, because “she has so much vitality. She is a petulant dreamer but also someone with a real imagination, a deep thinker, not to mention an only child, something I can relate to,” Sugarman says. She finds that Arms and the Man and playwright Shaw “really cultivate a re-
spect for reality, because he explores the romance of love and war, he questions those ideals, and for Raina, there is a real growth in her character.” Sugarman enjoys playing Shaw “because it’s classical without being Shakespeare,” and while she enjoys the smart and witty language, she
notes that she “really hasn’t been cast much lately in anything written after 1970!” She’s also enjoying her first summer in Perth, especially sitting in Stewart Park and running lines with Rachel Fischer (who plays the servant girl Louka, and who appeared in last
year’s Barefoot in the Park). “I love exploring new places and being in a beautiful town with a strong sense of community,” she says, adding it’s great getting to know the gentleman who is hosting both her and another performer. When not acting, Sugarman, a certified yogini, teaches yoga in Toronto. She finds very close parallels between yoga and acting, from the joy of movement to the sense of inquiry that lies at the heart of both disciplines. “They are both about getting to the roots of things, exploring the self, and a class in voice and yoga are not dissimilar, given their connection to breath, challenging the body, and other related skills that can be transferred one to the other. Both make you feel nourished.” She’s also fascinated by how, as someone who enters the space of another character eight times a week, actors disengage from that character. Indeed, audience members meeting actors after a show are often surprised to learn that the person and the character are different people. To see Sugarman play out her journey in Arms and the Man, tickets can be ordered online at www.classictheatre.ca or 1-877-283-1283. Submitted by the Classic Theatre Festival

Province launches new online shopping through LCBO Ontario is offering a new and convenient way to buy alcohol products by introducing online sales through LCBO.com. As of July 26, LCBO consumers can buy online up to 5,000 different products from across Canada and 85 other countries. Customers can choose to have their order sent to an LCBO store of their choosing for pick up, free of charge, or choose to have it delivered directly to their home, anywhere in Ontario. Ontario beverage alcohol producers will have access to greater “virtual” shelf space, which increases their reach to consumers who may not always have access to their product in their local store. This is the government’s latest step to expand options for buying alcohol, including the sale of beer in grocery stores last December, cider this June and the arrival of wine this fall.
This e-commerce launch strengthens LCBO’s ability to generate revenue for Ontarians and continue to fund key public services such as health care and education. “Online shopping at LCBO.com enables us to offer a convenient customer experience in a changing marketplace. This e-commerce platform draws on our local and international supplier relationships and buying power, efficient supply chain and extensive store network– bringing our customers across Ontario better access to a world of products. This new virtual LCBO store is a natural extension of our in store shopping experience,” noted George Soleas, president and CEO, LCBO. Ontario is expanding access responsibly. In partnership with Canada Post, the LCBO will ensure that online orders are only handled by and delivered to adults
of legal drinking age. Ontario is also developing a comprehensive alcohol policy to support the safe and responsible consumption of alcohol. Supporting more choice and convenience for consumers, while improving opportunities for businesses, is part of the government’s economic plan to build Ontario up and deliver on its number-one priority to grow the economy and create jobs. The four-part plan includes helping more people get and create the jobs of the future by expanding access to high-quality college and university education. The plan is making the largest infrastructure investment in hospitals, schools, roads, bridges and transit in Ontario’s history and is investing in a low-carbon economy driven by innovative, high-growth, export-oriented businesses. The plan is also helping working Ontarians achieve a more secure retirement.
“This exciting launch of LCBO. com gives consumers greater choice and convenience while increasing opportunities for Ontario’s dynamic beverage alcohol producers. LCBO’s new e-commerce platform will continue to maintain a high standard of socially responsible distribution, while helping Ontario’s wine, beer and spirits businesses grow and create good, well-paying jobs in communities throughout Ontario,” stated Charles Sousa, Minister of Finance. Did you know… • Up to 5,000 individual products are now available online, including exclusives beyond the LCBO’s current catalogue. The total could grow to more than 16,000 over time. • Consumers can have Canada Post deliver products securely and responsibly directly to their home anywhere in Ontario for $12 per
