Where’s everybody going? The cast of BarnDoor Productions’ Lysistrata call down a blessing on their show in the opening number of the brand new, 2,400-year-old musical comedy which runs Aug. 11 to 20 at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre.
'Lysistrata' blows away 2,400 years of cobwebs If you want funny, if you want tuneful, if you want straight up zany entertainment, then Perth's Full Circle Theatre is the place to be this week and next, and Lysistrata is the musical you want to see. It's 411 B.C. in sunny Athens, Greece, but gone are the days when Greeks stood shoulder-to-shoulder to keep back the Persians (as told recently in the 300 movies). Athens has been at war with Sparta for more than 20 years and life for Athenian housewives is tough. All the husbands are off to war and, as one women laments, there's no one left "who's old enough to do it — or still knows what to do." Along comes Lysistrata, a typical Athenian housewife, who gets an idea of how to stop the war: all the women have to do is to renounce ... you know ... sex ... until the war is settled. She enlists all the women of Athens — and even of Sparta, too. They take over the Acropolis and, from "the high place,” commence their strike. It's hard for them, but not as hard as it is for the men. Lysistrata is a brand-new, 2,400-year-old musical. The original play was written by Aristophanes, a Greek who is credited with creating "New Comedy" — basically, he invented comedy as we know it today. Nearly two-and-a-half millennia later, we can still laugh out loud at his plays. BarnDoor Productions' new musical adaptation of the story is snappy, sassy — sexy! — full of fun music and, guess what?, has a subtle little message that's just as in-your-face today as it was back then. It's also BarnDoor's biggest production in a long time, with lots of music, lots of dancing, lots of colourful costumes and lots of laughs. The show is a crazy mix of chorus girls singing jazzy numbers, a traditional Greek chorus intoning in iambic tetrameters or some such, bawdy jokes, smart jokes, physical humour
and more than a hint of politics. With numbers like Shut Your Mouth where the women explain how they'll run the country now; Baby, I'm Not Saying I Don't Love You as a newlywed teases her husband into a state and then sends him away to conclude a peace before they ... you know; and the opening number Athens, which mixes Broadway with a lesson on Greek history, the score is jazzy, fun and toe-tappingly hummable, but it also includes a couple of numbers that are based on some of the most ancient melodies that exist — one of them going back to 450 B.C. It's a show unlike anything you're going to hear, or see, anywhere else — at least this summer. BarnDoor Productions has never
backed away from the controversial, and Lysistrata has plenty of that: the combination of subject matter and the very frank way the Greeks looked at it might be shocking even today. That, of course, is half the fun of the show and it is fun, and funny, indeed. Lysistrata is the final show of BarnDoor's 22nd season. It will run Aug. 11, 12, 17, 18, 19 at 7:30 p.m. and Aug. 13 and 20 at 1:30 p.m. at the barrier-free, air-conditioned Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig St., Perth, near Last Duel Park. Tickets are just $20 reserved, $22 at the door, students $10. No credit cards are needed; cash at the performance is requested. For more information or ticket reservations, call 613-267-1884 or visit www.barndoorproductions.ca.

Lanark County Crime Stoppers seeks new board members The Lanark County Crime Stoppers (LCCS) board is actively seeking new members. The board is seeking individuals who would enjoy contributing their time and talents to a successful organization that works with local law enforcement to help solve and prevent crime across the county. Crime Stoppers was established in the eastern sector of Lanark County in 1992 and was initially called Carleton Place/Almonte Crime Stoppers. Later, the area of operation was expanded and the name was changed to Mississippi/Tay Crime Stoppers. Along the way, the board joined forces with Lanark County Wildlife Crime Stoppers and most recently took the name Lanark County County Crime Stoppers, which better reflects their area of responsibility within the provincial Crime Stoppers network. The board of directors is currently comprised of eight members who carry out the various programs and duties of a Crime Stoppers board of management. The board is supported by
a dedicated police co-ordinator, a member of the Lanark County detachment of the OPP. In addition, the board employs a part-time, civilian public co-ordinator, who works in conjunction with the board members and police coordinator. The LCCS board meets one Wednesday a month at the Carleton Place OPP station to review monthly progress, which includes tips, payouts, finances, public awareness projects and other relevant business that needs to be discussed. LCCS participates in various activities across the county, including public awareness booths at fairs and programs
run in high schools (including video and poster contests). County ‘Crimes of the Week’ news releases are prepared and distributed to local media. Each summer, fishing lures are purchased by Crime Stoppers with the logo and 1-800 number printed on them. They are passed out by the hundreds on the waters of the Mississippi River and lake system by OPP marine unit officers. Sponsorships include county bike rodeos and LCCS partners with Circle K (former Mac’s Milk). LCCS maintains public awareness signs on most major county roads. Members enjoy participating in a number of public activities, and hand out hundreds of balloons at community events and festivals annually. The public co-ordinator continues to offer presentations at schools across the county on how to identify and report crimes. LCCS members attend provincial and regional conferences, and the Lanark board hosts certain activities in an effort to keep informed about

Canadian Safe Boating Council, OPP team up to reduce impaired driving on waterways 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 Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is partnering with the Canadian Safe Boating Council (CSBC) to launch year five of an initiative called Operation Dry Water. Its goal is to discourage the dangerous practice of boating while impaired by alcohol. With the summer boating season in high gear, it is the perfect time to remind Canadian boaters about the risks of impaired boating. Combined with sun, wind, waves, and the rocking motion of the boat, the effects of alcohol on the water can be greatly
increased. Through this initiative, the CSBC and the OPP would like to bring attention to the issue of boating under the influence. While the responsibility of law enforcement on the water falls on police, the responsibility to ensure our waterways are a safe place to work and play is shared by all boaters. Alcohol and drug impairment continue to be a factor in boating deaths and injuries and, similar to the efforts on our roadways, we all have a role to play. Operation Dry Water focuses on the potential risks of impaired boating and opportunities to discourage it. Being charged with impaired operation of a vessel carries the same consequences as impaired operation of a
motor vehicle, and in Ontario that includes a suspension of your vehicle driving privileges. Upon conviction, a judge may prohibit operating a boat for a period of time and the repercussions of a criminal impairment conviction can go far beyond the initial incident.
In Ontario, no alcohol can be consumed by anyone on board while a boat is underway. Only boats with permanent sleeping, cooking, and washroom facilities on board may permit consumption, but only when docked or at anchor. Never boat under the
influence. Operation Dry Water's target is to reduce the number of alcohol-related incidents and fatalities on the water while fostering education and discussions that promote and create a visible deterrent to alcohol use while boating. The
end goal ... a safer and more enjoyable experience on the water for everyone. For more information, visit the CSBC website at www. csbc.ca under CSBC Safety Campaigns. Submitted by the Ontario Provincial Police

COMMENTARY Move over
L
eading into the start of a campaign planned for the August Civic holiday weekend, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) were offering some disconcerting stats. Officers in OPPpatrolled areas laid 2,443 charges in 2016 against drivers who allegedly failed to slow down and/or move over for emergency vehicles, as is required under the Highway Traffic Act. The yearly totals for provincial police have risen steadily since 2011, which an OPP release asserts is “ ... a clear sign that many drivers still fail to consider the well-being of the roadside emergency workers the law aims to protect.” It’s not just police cars, fire trucks, and ambulances with the flashing lights that are covered by the provincial statute; the law was amended in 2015 to include tow trucks that are parked on a roadside and have their amber lights flashing. At least 11 OPP vehicles that were stopped for an emergency were struck last year, according to the release. It’s not just the threat
of a $490 fine and three demerit points, plus much more severe penalties for repeat offenders; the so-called move over law is intended to protect the men and women whose job it is to protect the rest of us. And, on a related note, this could also serve as a reminder to those of us who live in or drive through small towns and rural areas served by volunteer firefighters. Although the flashing green lights in firefighters’ cars, pickups, and vans do not carry the same regulatory protection granted to red-light emergency vehicles and tow trucks, the same principle should apply. Whenever possible, slow down, pull over, or yield to the vehicles with the green lights. Those men and women are responding to fire and collision emergencies as well as a growing number of medical assist calls. It’s more of a courtesy than a compliance issue, but the rural reality is that flashing green lights are as important as the other colours of the emergency services rainbow.
Thrashing time on the farm was like a holiday for Mary Aunt Lizzie called it “threshing,” but everyone I knew called it "thrashing.” Father said his sister got highminded when she moved to Regina and left the farm at Northcote behind, and sometimes he had no idea what she was talking about. Anyway, it was thrashing time and to me it was like a holiday ... just like the Saturday night card parties, only there was no music. Early in the morning, farm neighbours would start to arrive, and they would stand around the barnyard, smoking their pipes, waiting for Mr. Briscoe to bring the big thrashing machine, pulled down our long lane by his tractor. There was nothing to do until that boozer of a ma-

chine was situated, and the daylong work began. As many as 15 neighbours would be there, and that meant they would have to be fed their noon meal, as the thrashing could go on until late in the afternoon. Mother and my sister Audrey would be up before dawn, and the old Findlay Oval would be fair hopping by the time the first few neighbours had arrived. That year my best friend Velma came across the 20 acre field. With the wild rush to have dinner ready at the stroke of 12, Mother and Audrey had no time to bother with the likes of me ... barely seven years old. And so Mother said I could have Velma over to play.
Alec was there too, as were a couple of her older brothers. The wonderful smell of roast pork and boiled turnips drifted through the open window, and Velma, far more adventurous that I was, We sat in the grape arbour in the two-seated swing, and could hear the kitchen sounds coming through the opened window. The clatter of dishes as the big table was being set, the bake table used, and another make shift table made of planks on two ‘sawhorses,’ covered with flour bag sheets, all needed to feed the neighbours who had come to help with the thrashing. Of course, Velma’s father, Uncle

digging into their pies. And so we sat it out until Velma took a peek in through the window and said the pie was on their plates. It didn’t take long for the men to clean their plates and head out the door to the job at hand. Velma and I went into the kitchen, where Mother and Audrey had collapsed onto two chairs with their plates in front of them at the old pine table. We grabbed two plates off the bake table, and loaded them with what was left of dinner, which wasn’t much. There wasn’t a scrap of pie. It looked like Mother and Audrey were all in. It didn’t take long for me to realize we had walked right into a pile of work. Mother said we could fill the dishpan with hot water from the reservoir, and start into washing up, and Velma could grab a clean tea towel. Well, that certainly wasn’t what either of us had in mind! Mother made sure we had everything in order for the job at hand, and then she and Audrey took their loaded plates out into the grape arbour, and it wasn’t long before we could hear the sound of the swing seats gently going back and forth.

ma wanted to know how we got into cleaning up the dishes. I didn’t have an answer. I took a peek out the kitchen window. The swing had stopped moving. Audrey was asleep in one seat, and Mother in the other. My friend and I had no choice but to dig into cleaning up the dishes. Just when we thought we were finished, Mother said I was to get a pail of fresh water from the pump, and chip off shards of ice from the icebox, take a tin cup out of the cupboard, and take it out to the workers in the barnyard. There was no time left in the afternoon for Velma and me to play, and right then I decided when it came time for the thrashing machine to go to her farm, I would stay home. Spending a whole afternoon cleaning up the kitchen after more than a dozen farmers had eaten a full meal, was not my idea of a fun time. The last I saw of Velma that day, she was heading across the 20 acre field with her head down, and every step an effort. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

greenhouse gas emissions. These are hard to do things, but we all can make the effort to reduce these even if we do not give them up altogether. Government action is also required but the political will has to come from us, the residents of Canada. Elected officials are always looking to the next election. Will their actions in government make it more likely or less likely that they will be re-elected? Our Prime Min-
ister and Members of Parliament need to know that we support their plans to curtail greenhouse gas emissions to prevent the worst impacts of climate change. Citizens Climate Lobby, now a global organization, is dedicated to promoting carbon fee and dividend. It is a simple, market based mechanism that will reduce carbon pollution and reduce poverty at the same time. A fee is collected on fossil fuels at their
source or entry into the country and rebated in full to Canadians on an equitable basis. The fee will drive energy efficiency and conservation and boost Canada’s innovative clean technology sector. The dividend will help middle and lower income Canadians deal with increased costs: about a third will get more money back than their increased costs and another third will break even.

empowers people to have personal and political breakthroughs. Consider joining us. It is very uplifting and empowering to speak directly to our elected officials to encourage them to ensure that we have a livable world for ourselves as well as to leave to our children.

Noble efforts to ‘Save the Bees’ may do the exact opposite Recently the world has been abuzz with attention on saving the bees. While this is a noble undertaking, doing so may in fact lead us in the opposite direction. The bee issue has been poorly defined in many cases, leading to efforts that may not offer true solutions and relief for our pollinator pals. Honey bees are an introduced species, native to Europe and Africa. These bees were brought to North America hundreds of years ago to provide honey and beekeeping opportunities for settlers. Nowadays, honey bees are touted as the most important and dominant of agricultural pollinators. While the latter is true, the first point may not be. There are more than 850 species of bees in Canada. These bees are responsible for pollinating our wildflowers, trees, and agricultural crops as well. Canada’s wild bees range from tiny solitary mining bees, which live in the ground, to the fuzzy bumble bees that clumsily bumble from flower to flower. The portrayal of the bee crisis in the mainstream media has been less than accurate. A sort of pandemonium has accompanied the crisis, causing people to react with actions directed as saving the bees. There are some issues with this. Honey bees are not native, and are not at risk of decline in the same way that our wild bees are. Their generalist

diet and large colony size has allowed honey bees to become dominant in agricultural and wild ecosystems in southern Ontario (and much of North America). In fact, honey bees have been found to decrease the number of wild pollinators that are able to survive. Who cares? Well, our wild bees have unique characteristics that allow them to be successful pollinators and key players in our ecosystems. It is not yet understood what the contribution of wild bees is to agriculture, however, it is known that wild bees are often better pollinators of agricultural crops than honey bees are. On a beeper-bee basis, bumble bees are able to carry more pollen than honey bees. They are also able to buzz-pollinate,
which means they contract their flight muscles while on a flower, causing the flower to release pollen. Without buzzpollination, certain species of flowers could not reproduce. In agriculture, bumble bees are used in greenhouses for their ability to buzz-pollinate tomato plants, increasing fruit set and size on the plant. Honey bees are wrongfully portrayed in the media as the face of the bee crisis. While there are various threats that honey bees may face, such as decreasing colony sizes, our wild bees are facing much more intense threats. In fact, what used to be one of the most abundant bumble bee species in Ontario, the rusty-patched bumble bee (Bombus affinis), has not been seen in the province since 2009. Land-
use changes, climate change, pesticide use, and disease are commonly referred to as the largest threats faced by wild bees. The bottom line is, offering protection to an introduced and managed species of bee does nothing to protect the vibrant and varied assemblage of bees that we have in Canada. Science has yet to understand what role these pollinators play in the environment. Before biologists are even able to understand the ecology of a bee, they are faced with developing conservation strategies to manage and increase their populations. This is backwards. Efforts to save the bees may do the opposite. By introducing a honey bee hive in your property, you increase the competition for resources with the wild bee population. Honey bees have been found to decrease the number of different species of wild bees, as well as their population numbers, when they are present in the same habitat. Avoiding the introduction of a nonnative species that causes stress on the native species, is usually a good idea. One of the most common efforts to save the bees is by planting a pollinator garden. Planting flowers that were grown with the use of pesticides introduces wild bees to increased potential challenges, as certain pesticide have been found to cause death in some species of wild bees. Further, when planting a garden, many people do
not consider that the plants should be native to their area. Without this consideration, plants are planted that the bees do not feed on in the wild, which means that the bees are likely not consuming adequate nutrition. It also increases the chance of introducing an invasive plant that may take over the natural environment. While efforts to save the bees are noble and necessary, it is not just the honey bees that need our help. The beautiful abundance and diversity of native bees that we enjoy in Canada must be protected as well. It is up to us to do so. Plant organically-grown, native flowers. Plant flowers of different colours and shapes, that bloom at different times during the season, giving wild bees a season-long supply of food. Don’t introduce honey bees, and if someone else does, perhaps let them know that they might want to plant some extra flowers to support the wild bees. The bee crisis is urgent and action is needed, but don’t forget to do your homework. There is an incredible amount of information available online and with local naturalist groups that will break down everything needed to be a true friend to the bees. Let’s ensure that efforts to ‘Save the Bees’ do just that! Shelby Gibson is masters student and pollinator conservation activist from Almonte

These sizzling summer days, there’s nothing quite like sitting back and letting cool breezes wash over you. Of course, a breezy play with refreshing characters can have the same effect, especially in an airconditioned theatre. Premièring at the Studio Theatre in Perth on Thursday, Aug. 17, it’s Bernard Slade’s oh-so-light-hearted Romantic Comedy — a breath of fresh air for anyone who simply wants to laugh and let go on a summer evening. While you may not know the name Bernard Slade, you surely know his work. In the 1960s and ‘70s, Slade was the force behind such television classics as Bewitched, The Flying Nun and The Partridge Family, before turning his talents to the Broadway stage with hit shows like Same Time Next Year, Tribute and Romantic Comedy. In the Studio Theatre’s production of Romantic Comedy, directed by veteran actor/director David Parry, Hugh McCulloch stars as sarcastic, self-absorbed Broadway playwright Jason Carmichael. As the play opens, Jason is having a life-changing day: his longtime writing partner has just announced that he’s retiring and Jason is getting married in a few hours. Enter Phoebe Craddock (played engagingly by actress Annie West), who is Jason’s biggest fan and a talented scribe in her own right. The two soon become successful writing partners, whose timing — it turns out — is perfect on stage, but amusingly out of whack in their love life. Jason and Phoebe produce hit after hit for 10 years, until inevitably, their luck runs out. Needless to say, the situation is ripe with comic possibilities. Also starring in the show are stage veterans Lucas Tennant as newspaper reporter Leo Janowitz; Jennifer Jasiak as pushy Hollywood actress Kate Mallory; Shiela

Lack of information makes for uninformed public We are living in a very different world in the 21st century. Things are happening so quickly that it is hard to keep up. Despite the emergence of Facebook, Twitter and socalled “instant news” I think people today are far less informed than they should be. Certainly the fall of what was once the mainstream media and the steady decline of daily newspapers in particular has contributed to an information vacuum which instant news is unable to fill. When I was young the daily newspaper was the backbone of the news business. Most homes received a newspaper delivered to the door, every day except Sunday. In fact
most families had one or more children who delivered the newspaper during their formative years. It was often the first “job” young people had and as I recall the majority of carriers were very serious about the responsibility they had taken on. Delivering news and advertising to paying customers was, after all, a very serious business! In those days, along before the arrival of cable television and the explosion of all news channels such as CNN, the daily newspaper was the closest thing we had to instant news. Rival papers competed voraciously in major markets including Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Ottawa and Ed-

monton in this country. In Canada the advent of ‘The Sun’ newspapers in the 1970s and 1980s heralded the arrival of the “tabloid press” complete with garish headlines, while entertainment and sports stories often bumped national and international news from the main pages. Many males of the species looked forward to their daily peek at the now passé “Sunshine Girl.” Not that I was
among them of course. My goodness, how things have changed though! A period of sales and acquisitions marked the arrival of a new era in journalism. Since then the fittest have gobbled up the minnows in the marketplace. That trend has failed to stabilize the daily newspaper industry which, so far, has not dealt with the explosion of internet news and advertising. Dailies are in a readily apparent state of freefall. The emergence of the “commuter newspaper” has also failed to stem the tide. Today, instead of newspaper carriers going door-todoor after school with the daily paper, an ever shrinking

market for such products means our newspaper is now dropped off by a gentleman in a truck in the wee hours of the morning. We’re among a mere handful of people in our large and established neighbourhood that still receive a daily newspaper. Fortunately there are survivors in the newspaper industry. You are currently reading one of them! Community newspapers, delivered to every door once a week, have found their niche and are now the dominant force in the business. I realize the odds against newspapers in general are growing. But like many faithful readers I am hopeful print media will continue to have a place on the information highway. Loyal readers I realize I am preaching to the converted here. If you see this column then you are likely among those who regularly read a newspaper, either in hard copy form or online. Thank you for your ongoing patronage! As a career newspaper person I am certainly pleased there is still an audience. I’m hardly arrogant enough to think that if you don’t read a newspaper you are uninformed. News comes in so many ways today, more than ever before. However, based on what I am seeing and hearing these days I’m alarmed at how uninformed many people are. I think that is especially true of young people. Most never see a newspaper and many seldom listen to the news on radio or watch news on television. I’ll be challenged by some for what I am about to write. But I truly believe that an uninformed public led to the election of Donald Trump who, like it or not, is busily trying to rewrite the political landscape south of the border. He’s had limited success to date. Still, his mere presence has dramatically changed the political picture in the world’s most powerful nation. I also wonder how
many Canadians really know what is going on, politically speaking that is? Currently our federal scene is dominated by a good looking, young Prime Minister. But I think it is now clear that he’s far better at posing for selfies than he is at providing worthwhile “news bytes” for those of us who follow politics every day. Popular and trendy, but badly lacking in experience and substance! Another major concern for me, as a news junkie, is how many people I hear saying, “I get all my news on the internet!” I’m concerned because I know that’s not possible. The usually small bytes available on the world wide web leave me wanting in most cases. That is particularly true of local news. Without a newspaper such as this one, or the few radio stations that still provide good local news, how can people possibly know what is happening in their own community? To me the most important political news for anyone in this country is what is happening at the municipal level. That’s because municipal decisions affect us more than those made at any other level of government! Newspapers, including this one, remain the best source for local news presented in a comprehensive way. With radio veering away from news and television stations cutting staff and local content, the internet simply doesn’t provide enough detail for anyone to reach a decision on what is happening in their community or their country. Vital things such as who to vote for at election time! Lack of information is a massive problem when it comes to making important political decisions in this and every developed nation. Given the fall of the news media I fear for the future. Because uninformed people make bad decisions!

Fort Hemlock opening night at Station Theatre barely two weeks away Lines are memorized, costumes fitted, last minute stage directions given and now it’s full rehearsals until opening night Aug. 18. Fort Hemlock starts at The Station Theatre in Smiths Falls in a little over two weeks. Laughs and energy fill the small theatre three nights a week in preparation for the world premiere performance. Watch for Hailey Besharah and Wil Lackie (who play Isabella and Will), two kids out to foil the bad guys from killing off turkeys before they get to market; keep an eye out for the MacDonald brothers – John, James and Joseph (Nathan Matthews, Justin Lemoine and Taylor Gilligan) – who are ticked off because they can’t get their goods to market fast enough, and then there’s old lady Dolan who uses an ear trumpet and only says “Eh?” This is a perfect summer play – locally written, superb sets (Rideau Queen at the front of the theatre), familiar place names, humour, and a ‘Girls Rule’ theme. As an added attraction, the theatre is partnering with the pub and eatery of the same name – Fort Hemlock, 32 Beckwith St. S – to provide a

Classic Theatre's Candida draws high praise from leading theatre reviewers While audiences are very much enjoying the current run of the warm and witty Shaw play Candida – the Classic Theatre Festival's production runs until Aug. 13 at 54 Beckwith Street East in Perth – the show's producers are also thrilled to see the strong notices from some of Canada's top theatre reviewers. Jamie Portman, who has distinguished himself as one of the finest theatre critics in the country, currently reviewing for the Capital Critics Cicle and Postmedia, wrote last week: "One of the pleasures of an Ottawa Valley summer is Perth’s Classic Theatre Festival, which has an impressive track record for mounting quality fare. Its current production of Candida is no exception." Iris Winston, a longtime reviewer and writer with the Ottwa Citizen, Variety magazine, and Metroland Media, praised Candida as "breezy and fast moving," and while both have heaped praise on the set, costumes, direction and lighting design, they also had much to say about a strong ensemble that includes Toronto performer Jeffrey Aarles, who plays the role of the conflicted minister Rev. James Morell. Aarles first played the role at Toronto’s Shaw in the City series, directed by Laurel Smith. Teaming up with Smith again in Perth
has been a great experience, tough, as he explains, also a new one. “A play is all about human interactions: change the humans, and you change the interactions,” he says. “Add to that the different venue, different stage management, different designers, different everything. A play is a communal effort. It isn’t like a painting that is completed and framed and remains more or less static for the course of its existence; every production is blessed with many minds, and will emphasize different elements of what the playwright consciously or unconsciously included.” Aarles is especially fond of Shaw’s language, full of wit and wisdom. “What's most amazing about Shaw is that he finds ways to make the political the personal for his characters,” he says. “He wraps his words around ways that people see the world, and he lets those perspectives be presented honestly, and without it feeling at all pedantic, and he somehow manages to do this while retaining great respect for each of them. Shaw creates a framework Photo courtesy Jean-Denis Labelle that doesn’t allow for ‘bad Jeffrey Aarles plays a conflicted husband and minisguys’.” Indeed, Aarles continues, ter in the warm and witty Shaw classic Candida, playin a Shaw play like Candida, ing at Perth’s Classic Theatre Festival until Aug. 13. “Everyone is honest to his or her own standards, whatever the other characters (or Prices Never Seen This Low the audience) might think of them.

their dignity and a kind of honesty, even if we consider the character a total hypocrite. This is what makes Shaw so wonderfully contemporary; the audience will KNOW the characters they meet in his plays. They may speak in unfamiliar ways, but they aren’t strangers. They live next door, or run the corner store, or are in the news on a regular basis.” Aarles came to performing because, as he recalls it, one of his acting teachers used to say that “people choose acting because they like to feel. That now feels like kind of a generalization, but there’s truth in it for me anyway. A character presents opportunities to explore not only one’s own feelings, but to attempt to step into a stranger’s skin and understand the world from his perspective, which is often going to be quite different from one’s own. To feel and react to events not as oneself, but as someone else – doing that makes one look at the whole world a little differently.” Candida has certainly provoked a

good deal of discussion about Shaw’s worldview. It’s also provided an entrée into a world not so different from today’s contemporary gender relations. As part of a storytelling tradition, Aarles says he is pleased that a special connection can be made with each audience member, “It’s a very intimate responsibility, this theatre thing,” he adds. “Most audience members will only come once, and so each performance, we have just the one opportunity to tell this story to this very particular group of people who have come to hear it. I love that responsibility.” Candida runs Tuesday to Sunday at 2 p.m., with 8 p.m. shows Wednesdays and Saturdays. It is followed Aug. 18 to Sept. 10 by the mystery thriller I’ll Be Back Before Midnight. The festival’s historic walking plays continue to run seven times weekly throughout August as well.

Plot twists will sprain your brain in fun spy flick, Atomic Blond MOVIE: Atomic Blond STARRING: Charlize Theron, James McAvoy, Sofia Boutella, Eddie Marsan, Toby Jones and John Goodman DIRECTOR: David Leitch RATING: 18A Before walking into Atomic Blond you should do a checklist. Do you like 80s music? Do you like spy films? Do you like brutal violence? Do you like a lot of brutal violence? You're good? Perfect. Enjoy. Just before the Berlin Wall comes down an MI6 agent is killed. Lorraine Broughton (Charlize Theron) is then sent to clean up the mess. A list detailing every spy currently working on both sides of the cold war has become available. Lorraine has to navigate the cesspool of intrigue and deceit that is Berlin in order to get the list, and uncover a double agent. The entire mission is a mess from the beginning. Lorraine is made al-

most immediately by the KGB. Her contact in Berlin is a man named David Percival (James McAvoy) who seems to be single handedly running the Berlin black market. She's being followed by French agent Delphine Lasalle (Sofia Boutella), and what's worse, some Russian goon is trying to sell the list. There's no one Lorraine can trust. She's playing a deadly game of spy versus spy. A game where the rules keep changing, and no one's sure which side the players are on. Atomic Blond was like a loud and
violent 80s music video. Which isn't a bad thing if you're interested in making a movie with more style than substance. What the film lacks in depth it makes up for in intensity. Most action films have a chase scene here, a fight scene there, but will then give the audience a chance to catch its breath. Atomic Blond, not so much. To be sure the action sequences are gripping, but even the quiet scenes like Lorraine's debriefing, her conversations with Percival and her encounters with Delphine are dripping in tension. You're constantly on edge awaiting the next twist and betrayal. Then there's the violence. A certain level of violence is to be expected, but with Atomic Blond there's a realism that's off-putting, a brutality that's shocking, and an intimacy that's disturbing. You feel every blow and every wound. It's exquisitely choreographed, and at the same time brutal and bloody.
I've often said if you're going to do an action movie do it with quality actors. Even if your film is lacking in depth of character, good actors can raise that bar. This is certainly true here. With the likes of James McAvoy, Sofia Boutella, Eddie Marsan, Toby Jones and John Goodman you have a cast that can make the shallowest of roles appear deep. Then there's Charlize Theron who delivers the must righteous of butt
kickings. I'll say this for Theron, she knows how to commit to a role. From killing enemy agents, to making out with Boutella's character, Theron held nothing back. With a killer 80s soundtrack, wicked violence, Charlize Theron kicking butt, and enough plot twists to sprain your brain Atomic Blond is a fun spy flick. Mark Haskins column is a regular feature.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you see the wisdom in someone else’s idea and you are willing to go along for the ride. Express your support and your utmost confidence in this person and his or her idea.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you might have your mind set on a vacation to an exotic location. If that is your ultimate goal, work toward making it a possibility in the near future.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, it is unwise to make any impulsive commitments or decisions right now. Too many things are in flux, and you have to work through all the scenarios for a little bit longer.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, even though you know what needs to get done, you may experience difficulty adhering to a schedule. Look to a friend to get you back on course.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 The key to creating some spark in your love life this week is through your social life, Gemini. Spend time with an eclectic group of friends who can offer a new experience. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, exercise patience in regards to a financial situation in the coming months. Patience may pay off if you can simply wait things out. Lean on a loved one for support.

Helpful tips to keep cool in your ride during hot summer days Our summer heat can take its toll on just about any vehicle and its airconditioning system. There’s nothing worse than jumping in a sweltering vehicle and flipping on the AC switch only to be rewarded with hot air. Here are a few tips to help you keep things cool. When you’re experiencing a stretch of warm weather, don’t forget to shut the AC off when parking your ride for the day. This ensures that there won’t be any sudden load on the engine during the next startup. Once the engine is started and reaches its normal idle speed, then you can punch the button and enjoy some cool air. Always open the door windows or the sunroof for the first few minutes of your drive to let cool air from the dash vents push out the hot stuff. If you dread getting in a sun-baked car on a hot day, pop one front or rear door open and then open and close the opposite door a few times (with the windows closed). This will pump a surprisingly large amount of hot air out before you take your seat. All vehicle AC systems have a max setting. This shuts off all outside air from coming in and keeps the compressor on full time. It should only be used for the first few minutes of a drive and then turned back to the open-air setting for improved cabin air quality and fuel mileage. After the cabin has cooled down a
bit, turn your car’s HVAC fan setting down to one or two speed below max. This gives incoming air more contact time with the AC evaporator core to lower the dash vent temps. If you’re getting a musty smell of mildew coming from your car’s HVAC system in the hot humid weather, you’re not alone. The evaporator core lives in a very dark, warm, and humid environment; a perfect spot for mould or mildew to grow. You can pay dearly to have professionals access and treat this core with an antifungal agent or you can do it yourself with just the turn of a few controls. Simply set the HVAC settings to full heat with the fan set at one speed below max and roll down the windows for one or two tours of at least 15 to 20 minutes. The dry hot air will kill the mould and mildew and it won’t cost you a thing (except a few beads of sweat). If this musty smell is reoccurring regularly it may be caused by a blocked condensation drain. All auto AC systems have such drains and they’re the cause of the water dripping out from under the vehicle when the AC is running on a hot day. The drain hose is usually located on the engine side of the firewall and can be difficult to access with the vehicle on the ground. Most shops charge little to clear any blockage of these lines. If the dash vent temps on your vehicle’s AC system seem cool enough

but the air flow isn’t optimal, check to see if your vehicle has a cabin air filter (they’re more common than you might think). Swapping one out with a fresh clean one may be all it takes to keep you and your passengers comfortable. This weekend you can get your fill of chrome and much more at the Auto-Show Gatineau being held in Parc des Cedres in Aylmer.

Increase in ransomware attacks affecting many people BY DESMOND DEVOY
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
Area computer companies are seeing a huge spike in virus attacks on business and personal computers. Roger Dupuis, who runs Apollo Computers in Smiths Falls, said that in 2016, there was an average of 10 machines brought into his shop per week with ransomware – the latest generation of computer viruses. In the first seven months of 2017 alone, he has seen anywhere from 30 to 100 computers brought in each week. “We are seeing an increase in ransomware,” said Dupuis, during an interview in his store on the morning of Thursday, July 27. “(It is) more scams than anything.” Just last week alone, he has been dealing with major ransomware breaches at a business in Perth and one in Smiths Falls. “They lost all of their business data,” said Dupuis of the Perth business, with their files locked down. Industry-wide, Dupuis said that there was a 175 per cent increase, this year, in such attacks, and it is estimated that there will be a 500 per cent rise by 2018 in such attacks, because “as people get infected, they infect their friends.” Personal attack Perth resident Chris Whitaker knows all too well now how quickly someone can become a ransomware victim. Whitaker was on Facebook recently when he came across what he thought was an interesting link on American politics.

Perth-area resident Chris Whitaker stands with his ransomwear-infected computer in the basement of his home on the afternoon of Monday, July 31. Once he clicked on the link, he was taken to another page, where “a very large picture” made up of “a lot of bytes, slowly filled the screen.” There was a triangle in the middle of the screen and he unfortunately clicked on it. Once he did that, “you’re done,” he said. “Your computer starts to lock up. It starts to lock your files.” With all of the files locked, and the rest of the computer on a type of

virtual lock-down, “basically, you’d only be able to get this one server.” He received a message and “there was a number on it” to call. He was informed that he would be given a $400 discount off of his ransom if he was timely about calling the number provided. “I guess they would give you your computer back,” said Whitaker. “But there is no guarantee.” The criminals, however, will not
likely be getting one red cent from Whitaker. “There’s no darn way I was paying it,” said Whitaker during a telephone interview on Wednesday, July 26. “Firefox and Facebook owe me a new computer,” he added with a laugh. But the joke may well be on the criminals, as “I’ve (got) two other

Last Duel Park murder case headed for September trial The Last Duel Park murder case will continue on Thursday, Sept. 7, at 12:15 p.m., after the preliminary hearing wrapped up ahead of schedule. The hearing was supposed to take place over a day-and-a-half, but instead wrapped up early in the afternoon of Wednesday, Aug. 2 at the Perth courthouse, 43 Drummond St. E. Andrew Kravchenko, 23, appeared at the hearing, wearing a white, short-sleeved shirt, and grey dress pants. He was charged with second-degree murder in connection with the death
of 45-year-old James “Jake” Laverdure, who died at the Last Duel Park campground on Aug. 7, 2016. Kravechenko was arrested by the OPP on Dec. 18, 2016. His case will now stand trial in September. During the hearing, court heard testimony from OPP Det. Cons. Tom Kohls, and saw video of Kravchenko’s interrogation by OPP officers last December. The hearing was covered by a publication ban. These charges have not been proven in court.
Police lay three impaired charges Ontario Provincial Police, Lanark County report three impaired charges laid recently. Marianne Smith, 48 of Mississippi Mills was charged on Tuesday, July 25 after being spotted in the Mac’s Milk parking lot on Bridge Street in Almonte.

BE SEEN TO BE SAFE! Riding a bicycle without bright clothing is not only dangerous, but not a smart move. A cyclist’s shirt, above all else, needs to be bright and clearly visible. Wearing black or dark clothing does not give a motorist the same visibility of the cyclist, and the split second it takes to notice the biker may be critical. Three broad reasons when a cyclist definitely needs to be seen by a motorist are: • time of day: dawn or dusk, when visibility is not the best and definitely during night riding. • weather conditions with fog, bright sun shining in motorist’s eyes, rain. • Road conditions: narrow road, paved or gravel, hills and curves, wet from rain. Along with these conditions, bright shirt, strong flashing rear red light (even during the day and by law during night cycling), strong front light at night, you want to be seen regardless of road conditions or any other factor which could cause disaster to a cyclist. Bike safely, using common sense, the rules of the road and, above all, everyone young or old, wear an approved helmet.

AUXILIARY
From FRONT page
“Being a part of the auxiliary unit has some big benefits to it,” he said. “It allows you to give back to your community. It allows you to see the inside role of policing, so it’s great for someone who is not entirely sure they want to do this as a career.” Needham said it’s a big commitment to apply and go through the training to become a police officer, “and if you’re not 100 per cent sure if that career path is right for you, this is a way to explore that.” There are two types of people who become auxiliary constables, Needham said: those gunning for policing as a career, and those who would like to give back to their communities in a meaningful way. “We have folks like Dale who want to give back to their community in a unique way that interests them,” Needham said. “Sometimes there is crossover.” Auxiliary policing Dale Visneskie is the auxiliary unit’s acting inspector. He’s been a member of the Lanark County unit for three years. This is the Ottawa man’s 11th year with the program. He commutes from Stittsville to Perth when he’s on the auxiliary clock – sometimes up to 20 hours a week. “My schooling is in electronics engineering and my law enforcement experience came from the RCMP. I stayed more on the technical side,” Visneskie said. “I was going to go into the direct force but when I came on it was during the Oka Crisis, so they needed to do fly-overs and get proper mapping done but they didn’t have a technologist.” The Oka Crisis was a standoff between Mohawk protesters, police and the army that lasted from July 11 to Sept. 26, 1990. A proposed expansion of a golf club and development of condominiums on disputed land that included a Mohawk burial ground was the major dispute. When Visneskie left the RCMP, he started his own company making law enforcement equipment, like radar units. While doing a ride-along with a police officer, Visneskie said he was encouraged to become an auxiliary constable. Visneskie volunteered more than 1,000 volunteer hours last year – well above the requirement. There is no real advantage taking the auxiliary route to become a police officer … “you’re just more aware of what’s going on when you get to police college,” Visneskie said. A day as an auxiliary officer is twofold. There is the patrol aspect, where the auxiliary officer would make arrangements with a police officer to go out on the road. “You pretty well follow their lead. You’re a second pair of eyes,” Visneskie said, which is his favourite part about he position. "I like being asked my opinion about things, too," he said, as he and the inspector will often have conversa-

tions about situations. There is a power to arrest, but only if given that authority by an officer. “Often we’re asked to assist in an arrest – an impaired driver,” or bar scuffles, Visneskie said. The second part of an auxiliary constable’s time with the force is training. “Our use of force options are batons and handcuffs,” Visneskie said. They also do selfdefense and firearms training – just in case they are required to use firearms. Auxiliary officers don’t, however, carry a gun. They just need to be aware of how to store, and use them safely. Needham said when he was on front lines, he enjoyed having an auxiliary officer along on patrol. “They want to be part of their community – we have stringent requirements when hiring auxiliaries as well,” Needham said. “We have very good people in the program. We make sure we get the best applicants.” The recruitment Jennifer Tenbult of Kemptville (columnist, and former reporter, with Metroland Media) is in the process of becoming an auxiliary officer. “I made the decision to apply for the OPP auxiliary program
because my kids are growing up in this community and I wanted to contribute to the good work the OPP does every single day,” she said in an email exchange. “I'm currently waiting to do the training portion of the program, which will be an amazing learning opportunity for me. I definitely recommend joining up if you are physically able and have the time to volunteer. There is nothing more gratifying than volunteering in your community.” Tenbult will apply to the Leeds-Grenville auxiliary unit when she finishes her training. The length of the process to become an auxiliary officer is beneficial, she said, which she started over a year ago. “It gives you time to get into shape and also ensure you are committed to becoming an auxiliary officer. The time is basically a buffer for serious reflection.” For Tenbult, becoming an auxiliary officer is her opportunity to give back to her community. She has no plans to become an OPP officer at this time. “Maybe I'll feel differently after volunteering with the OPP, but right now I'm just interested in helping out where I can.” If auxiliary policing sounds
like an option for you, check out the eligibility requirements. * Be at least 18 years of age; * Be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada; * Have a valid driver’s license; * Have completed an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent; * Have completed Standard First Aid and Basic Rescuer (level C) CPR courses; and, * Are of good moral character and are mentally and physically able to perform the duties of the auxiliary position. Once you have been selected, the process continues with testing; interviews will be held by a panel of three people; an aptitude and psychological test will then take place, followed by a background investigation, medical and vision test. If you successfully pass, a one-week orientation will follow. “This entire process has taken up to two years in the past, but we’re trying to get people through faster,” said Visneskie. “It takes about a year now.” Auxiliary officers then apply to the detachment for a position – normally that’s where they live, noted Needham. Once hired, a year’s probation follows. “We will have recruiting sessions throughout the year,” noted Visneskie. “We’ll have an open house – come on in and check it out.” Needham added, “The Lanark County detachment values our auxiliary unit. We are actively looking for community minded individuals who want to make a difference.” For more information on the OPP auxiliary program, visit www.opp.ca and click on auxiliary policing to start your application process.

A Taste of Ireland August 17 featuring Sharlene Wallace on the Celtic harp On Thursday, Aug. 17, Perth Manor will be presenting their annual Musical Dinner Evening – this year featuring the food and music of the Emerald Isle! The multi-course menu will include Irish favourites: “Cockle” and Mussel chowder, Guinness glazed halibut, Irish lamb stew, Gaelic boxty and an irresistible Chocolate Guinness cake with Irish whiskey ganache and Bailey’s Irish Cream icing to name just a few! The evening will begin with hors d’oeuvres and cocktails on the terrace, with Irish pub tunes in the background, and then will move indoors for dinner service. Between courses, while “Chef Gordon” is busy preparing the next dish in the kitchen, guests will be captivated by the sounds of award winning Celtic harpist, Sharlene Wallace, performing Irish favourites and
some original compositions as well! Sharlene has been featured at The Manor before on our Chamber Music Series and we are thrilled to have her back for this year’s dinner event! After a trip of a lifetime with her mother and brother back in May, owner Linda Craig came back from ‘the old country’ knowing what this year’s dinner theme was going to be! We are really looking forward to the evening – it will be very special! The cost is $80 plus HST per person for the dinner and the show, bar service will be available at extra charge. Advance reservations are required and the event usually sells out, so call soon to reserve your ‘spot at the table’! And remember – don’t eat lunch that day – you’ll want to be sure to save room for dessert! Submitted by Perth Manor
Sharlene Wallace will play the Celtic Harp tonight (Aug. 17) at the Perth Manor. Enjoy food, music and Irish favourites. Submitted photo/ Kevin Kelly

High costs hamper expansion of Perth library’s ebook buying program BY DESMOND DEVOY
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
Don't expect the Perth library to stock up on ebooks any time soon — they simply cannot afford it. While ebooks are cheaper now for you to purchase online, than the old dead-tree variety of literature, they are not cheaper for libraries to buy. “Ebooks for libraries cost us significantly more that for the public,” said Erika Heesen, chief librarian and CEO of the Perth and District Union Public Library. She was speaking to Perth town council’s committee of the whole meeting Tuesday, Aug. 1. "We are seen more as a threat by the publishers of ebooks,” though she disputes this, saying “people who read, both borrow and buy.” For example, one e-copy of American author James Patterson’s new book would cost her library $105, meaning that while she wishes to expand her library’s ebook collection, they can only afford to add four or five titles a month. “Ebooks are significantly less for individuals,” said Coun. Judy Brown. Referring to famed Canadian academic Marshall McLuhan’s oft quoted “the medium is the message,” Brown said that “if you don’t have the right medium, or media, you don’t get the right message across.” Heesen also told committee that the number of visits to the library was “excellent” (see below), and that, overall about 10 per cent of the library’s circulation came from e-circulation
formats. Back in December, the library closed for two weeks to allow for extensive renovations, and a re-plotting of the layout, “to serve the communities needs, so that it works the best for everyone,” said Heesen. The new digital media lab is now up and running, which includes not only computers but also a digital green screen, which is getting good use. It was even put in use during the library’s 20th anniversary party for the Harry Potter books July 31. The library’s “How To" Fair," was also a success, allowing participants to learn everything from how to fix a bike to how use chopsticks. The children’s literacy program is also still popular, not only in terms of improving young people’s reading skills, but also in letting children know that reading is something that is “fun and exciting,” said Heesen. The program also helps young people see that “the library is not a scary place.” The library also conducted a poll that drew more than 400 responses. Among the top requests was that the library have “longer and more standardized hours.” Mayor John Fenik commended the good work being done by the library, and noted that “traditional libraries are not traditional libraries,” he said, pointing to a library in northern Canada that lends out ice fishing equipment. "I encourage people to read to their kids every day.” Coun. Jim Boldt said that he had recently moved house, and found him-
self with a long-forgotten collection of National Geographic magazines. He wondered if the library would be open to a donation. “We do receive a lot of book donations,” said Heesen, and while they are grateful for them, they do limit donations to a box or two. She politely declined Boldt’s offer, saying that “not a lot of people are interested in old National Geographic” editions, though she admitted that they can be “fascinating.” By the numbers For the year 2016, the library saw: • 118,954 items borrowed; • 125,451 visits; • 4,828 people attending programs; • 7,946 questions answered (from “Where’s the washroom?” to “How do I learn Spanish?”); • 15,885 ebooks downloaded; • 68,962 electronic uses; • 11,890 computer sessions; • 2,550 Perth residents have a library card, about 43 per cent of the population; and, • Perth residents are 42 per cent of overall library users. Further to this, the average Perth library cardholder borrows 19 items per year. Other services offered by the library include: • Museum passes (that is the Canadian Museum of History); • Digital books and magazines; • Research and language learning; • Britannica Library; • “How To” Fair; • Tax clinics in partnership with La-

The return trip curse
ast week I wrote about getting ready to travel with the Saltos Athletics team to Phoenix, Arizona for the International Aerobic Championships. You didn’t know I’m an aerobic gymnast, did you? (Hahaha. Ahem. Not me. Girlchild.) Anyway, as someone who seldom travels far, I described my personal learning curve and declared that getting there was the hardest part. This was mostly true, except for a weird little phenomenon in Phoenix that happened so often our group started to anticipate it. It turns out return trips to the hotel – or our rooms – were even harder. The first instance of the phenomenon happened when we checked in. We arrived a couple of hours before official check in, but there was then a further delay for a few of the rooms. Normally I can take this sort of thing in stride, but I had been awake since 2 a.m. EST and by 5 p.m. Phoenix time (which would have been 8 p.m. at home) I was frazzled. Thankfully the room, once we got it, was beautiful and we had a great sleep. The resort was gorgeous and offered a few restaurants on the grounds. In an effort to be thrifty, however, many of us wanted to go to a grocery store to get things for breakfasts and lunches. The nearest store was several blocks away. It was close enough to walk to it, but too far to lug heavy grocery bags in 110-degree Fahrenheit heat. The resort offered a scheduled shuttle to a big nearby mall, but not to the grocery store. It was fairly easy to get a cab from the hotel, but getting back was always a weird ordeal. On our first trek, our cabbie said he would come back. He gave us his personal number, which he then didn’t answer. We never saw him again. The local cab companies seemed strangely disinterested in answering their phones. Thankfully, as we stood in the parking lot in the dark and considered bribing a local for a ride, another group from the resort pulled up and we took their cab back. When I was a kid, I had a recurring nightmare about trying to telephone for help. This was in the pre-9-1-1 days when we had seven-digit emergency numbers and rotary phones. In my dream, I would continually dial the wrong number and panic. This dream seemed to be coming

true a little during the trip – except it usually involved trying to call a taxi (and there was less panic). It made me think of the line from “Hotel California” by The Eagles: “You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.” Although we eventually checked out and left with no problem, there seemed to be a force field preventing us from leaving other places. Another grocery run a couple of days later was the same. It was like my childhood dream – except instead of dialing the wrong number, no one ever answered. The lady at the courtesy counter who supplied the cab numbers was prepared to drive us back when her shift ended, but we were saved yet again when another group showed up in a taxi. (I think the resort could make a fortune with a shuttle to the grocery store.) A couple of times we went as a group for dinner off-site. We had a schedule, but gave ourselves lots of time. Everything went swimmingly until it was time for the bills, and then wait staff seemed to be trapped in quicksand. In one case, we knew we could catch a shuttle back, but some had to sprint and hold it while the rest of our party retrieved bills from the quicksand. On our last day, we took a magnificent 12-hour tour from Phoenix to Sedona and the Grand Canyon. We left on time and hit all the stops on schedule, but as we re-entered the city limits at the end of the journey, we encountered bumper-to-bumper traffic thanks to flooding from a storm and some accidents. That last half hour seemed like four days, but we could only laugh. It was the curse. We were doomed to never get back to the hotel. Perhaps it was a force field to discourage us from leaving in the first place? That would have been fine. The pools and palm trees were nice. It was no surprise, then, that the last leg of our flight home was delayed by about half an hour ...

Sunflower Festival benefits the animals Kricklewood Farm in Frankville hosted the annual Sunflower Festival on Sunday, Aug. 6 to benefit Mel’s Farm All Animal Rescue and Sanctuary. Farm co-owner Dale Horeczy, the goat whisperer, is pictured with his animals. They were a bit shy during the goat yoga early in the day as they stayed inside the barn while participants were practising moves in the barnyard. Hundreds of people took in the event where they enjoyed a tasting alley, lots of vendor options, a barbecue and some photos with the animals.
The Legend Lives On: Lightfoot in concert
H
e walked onto the stage with no warning, no fanfare. How Canadian of him. The afternoon’s host had said that Gordon Lightfoot would be out shortly. And then, there he was. He almost seemed to delight in catching the audience unawares, as ripples of “That’s him!” ran through the crowd, while he gave everyone the thumbs up. It was Sunday, July 23, at the Kemptville Live music festival at the old Kemptville college campus. For all of the frustrations that come with this job, there are great compensations too – such as covering a concert by Gordon Lightfoot. Now, to be fair, another member of my family, my Uncle Mike, himself a musician, had met Lightfoot during a visit to Dublin. It was a meet-thefans event, in which Lightfoot was very gracious with his time, but their meeting was a fleeting “Nice to meet you,” blip. Legend has it that my mother saw Lightfoot perform at a nightclub in Harcourt Street, Dublin, back in the ’60s. Music is fantastically universal, as
DESMOND DEVOY Des Says my Uncle John, also a musician and children’s author (while not at work with Irish Rail), reminded me recently, telling me in one of his recent letters, that, back in the 1970s, Lightfoot’s music would fill the Devoy house in Dublin, as John and some of my aunts would listen to the strains of this balladeer from the Frozen North. My eldest daughter, Michaela, however, as a major Ariana Grande fan, is slightly less impressed by Lightfoot. Driving to Carleton Place one day this past winter, I had Lightfoot’s 1967 Centennial-yearinspired song “Canadian Railroad Trilogy.” The song is certainly longer than anything on Top 40 radio these days, and I could tell she was growing restless in the back seat. The song has a circle-back moment, where he repeats the opening lyrics in the final stanza: “There was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not run/

When the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun.” In the back of the car came my daughter’s irritated voice: “He just sang this part!” Nearly 50 years later, a far older, slightly drawn Lightfoot stood before me. His voice was not as powerful as it once was, but he made light of the severe health scare that nearly killed him several years ago: “Rumours of my death are greatly exaggerated!” he said, with a mixture of defiance and mirth. “We love the work.” I heard a woman mutter that “I can die happy now,” when she heard him perform his 1976 hit “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” though this was an updated version of the song in which he corrects a line or two about how the ship may have actually gone under the waves of Lake Superior. Yes, I did find myself singing along as I took my photos. Joy is a word not often synonymous with journalism – but in this moment, it was. (A year before, I had sang along with Bruce Cockburn, also at Kemptville Live, as he sang “Lovers In A Dangerous Time.”)

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Summer haters unite against heat DEAR EDITOR,
I can’t begin to tell you how thrilled I was to read Evelyn Harford’s column, from July 27th issue, “Summer: Cut to the chase, I hate it.” What a delightful treat! After years of hearing everyone around me rave about the hot, humid, summer weather, I have finally found someone who feels the way I do. I have found another summer hater! Yeah! All of your arguments against summer and its many inconveniences make perfectly good sense to me. As a matter of fact, as I am writing
this, it is a scorcher outside and I am cooped up inside, windows closed, air conditioning turned on. Not only does the heat prevent me from enjoying the outdoors, but over here, the bugs are absolutely ferocious. They will eat you alive. I simply cannot wait for fall and then winter! For me, summer is just a prelude to be tolerated until those crisp, frosty days – and the beautiful snow! Lise Balthazar Sheridan Rapids Road Lanark
Take time to reconnect spiritually BY LEWIS MASSARELLI
Glad Tidings Pentecostal Church
Last year we celebrated our 200 year settlement anniversary. This year it has been Canada’s 150th birthday. Perth and all it has to offer during the summer months is pretty cool with the many ‘fests,’ add on top of that, family visiting and weddings you must attend. With all the activities during the summer, it can go by rather quickly. You may find that the only selfie you’ll have taken will be blurred with the captioned “Summer 2017.” In all that busyness, don’t forget about yourself. While you are busy going, doing, running around … stop. You can get drained quickly and before you know it, your attitude can sour. People just become items on a check list, activities become a chore, events become a waste of time. Stop—you need time for yourself. Stop–breathe in slowly.
Over 80% of energy used to wash clothes goes to heating water. Switching your temperature setting from hot to warm will also save you and cut a load’s energy use in half.

Summer can be a great time to regenerate yourself. You can steal away time for yourself up at the lake, cottage, camping, while strolling through Stewart Park, or just sitting and watching your grass grow.

COLUMN Not sure how professional that was, but, it did not really care, and I got my photos. Some of the songs were unfamiliar to me. I guess they were his later tunes. But while there was a catch in the throat, followed by a standing ovation for “Edmund Fitzgerald,” for many in the audience, I was deeply moved by his song “Race Among The Ruins.” I cannot tell you how much that 1976 song helped me through many sad days in the winter of 2000-2001. My romantic life had taken a significant detour, and it was the saddest I remember ever feeling at that point, including when my dog died when I was 12. “Sometimes you must feel blue,” sang Lightfoot from my CD player as I stared at the ceiling of my room in Brampton. The lines “You make the best of each new day/You try not to be sad,” really helped, as did the lines “So take the best of all that’s left/You know this cannot last.” It didn’t, I’m glad to say. A month later, I began to pull out of the funk. And as the song said, I eventually did “Wake up to the promise/ Of your dream world comin’ true.” A girl I went to school with, Chantal Gagnon, was a big fan of the late, great Leonard Cohen, another famous Canadian singer/songwriter. When she told me that she was nearly in tears at seeing him in concert, I did not really understand. Having seen Lightfoot in concert, I now understand. That next Thursday morning, July 29, I had

RANSOMWARE
From page P1
computers exactly the same.” Whitaker said he has been using computers since 1982 – in fact, his first computer was on an old Vic20. He buys all of his computers refurbished, so this does not come as a major loss to him, but “I feel a warning needs to go out,” so that others, who do have valuable information stored on their computers, do not lose everything. Because traditional viruses are not cost effective for criminals they now more often resort to using ransomware. This requires a person whose devise has been infected to pay a fee in order to get their information back. This allows criminals to recover costs from developing the ransomware making it a profitable venture. “Years ago, we used to say ‘You need anti-virus software,’” Dupuis said. But creating viruses can be costly, so, for criminals, “they are not cost effective.” There are different kinds of methods used online, like adware, which “we’ve all seen,” said Dupuis, mostly annoying pop-up ads. “It’s a nuisance.” There is also malware, where software is downloaded onto your computer, often without your knowledge, which can do something damaging to your computer. He calls ransomware “the worst,” with criminals often asking for three bit coins (a form of online currency) as ransom. But, if you pay the ransom, “there’s no guarantee. You’re making a deal with the devil, and hoping he keeps his end of the bargain.” Corey Crabb, owner of Perth PC first started seeing ransomware cases locally about 18 months ago, but now “we’re starting to get quite a bit more.” He agreed that the criminals “don’t want to be paid in dollars any more. They want bit coin.” Some victims he has spoken to were able to catch the toxic software as it downloaded, halfway through the process, and save some of their files. “I’d never recommend paying the ransom,” said Crabb during an interview in his store on the afternoon of Friday, July 28. “The more you pay, the more they do it.” He agreed that backing up your files is a good “line of defence,” but that even “cloud-based” systems like Google Drive “can all get infected.” He recommends three back-ups – one in the cloud, one at home, and one offsite (for example, on a portable hard drive not connected to any network.) Dupuis said he often refers people affected by these issues to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police’s (RCMP) Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, which can be reached at 1-888-495-8501. You can also contact them online at http://www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca/index-eng.htm. However, the RCMP’s website advises that “if you are a victim of fraud and it is not related to identity fraud, contact the police service of jurisdiction in your area.”
“They (the RCMP) are always ready to help you out,” Dupuis said. A lot of the data lost through ransomware attacks could easily be survived by doing a data back-up. He advises home computer users to back up their files once a month, and for businesses to back up “nightly,” plus, having a back-up to their back-up, secured off-site or in a safe on-site place. For home users, using Google Drive, Apple iCloud, or Microsoft’s OneDrive, are good cloud-based back-up solutions. One of Dupuis’ own employees was held ransom about two years ago, but
eventually got his data back – a year later. Dupuis extols the virtues of the computer security company Kaspersky, who worked on his employee’s case with Interpol, to retrieve the information. He also advises computer users to access protection software at malwarebytes.org, to keep your machine clean. Superintendent Craig Abrams, OPP East Region Command Staff, speaking at the Lanark County association of police services boards meeting on June 28 in Carleton Place, confirmed that there are “criminals that are using technology to prey on peo-
ple,” and that cyber fraud was “just going to grow. Internet-based crime is growing. My own family has fallen victim to it … There will be more and more victims.” The RCMP web site advises people who have not lost any more and have not provided personal or financial information (relating to a fraud or scam), and “you simply want to inform the appropriate organizations, report it to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre,” at the number listed above. “If you received a fraudulent email soliciting personal or financial information (phishing scam), you should
also advise the financial institution or other agency whose name was used.” Further to this, the RCMP advises that “if you are a victim of fraud or if you unwittingly provided personal or financial information (identity fraud), follow the steps in our Victim Assistance Guide,” which can be found online at http://www.rcmp-grc. gc.ca/scams-fraudes/victims-guidevictimes-eng.htm For more on this story, visit InsideOttawaValley.com Perth Courier

Smiths Falls artist to show work at exhibit on Bennett Lake August 19 BY IRIS WINSTON
Artist Ruth Browning discovered her greatest talent later in life. Some 13 years ago, she joined a painter friend for a vacation in Grenada, and the friend encouraged her to bring some acrylic paint, brushes and canvas with her. “She said it would be a good opportunity for me to try something different,” recalls Browning. To that point, she says, she had never painted or drawn, but she accepted the challenge. “We sat down on the sands of Grenada and I dabbled away painting on my canvas. I really enjoyed what I was doing.” Her friend’s approval of the finished product was the catalyst she needed to continue. “I felt so good when I was painting and somehow I just got hooked.” From this point on, whenever she and her husband Gerry went travelling — and their many trips took them across Canada, to the U.S. and Europe — she sketched and painted the landscapes and seascapes that caught her attention. “I started filling our house with paintings,” she says. “Before I started painting, I had done a lot of photography and had taken photographs on our journeys. Now, my life changed to painting what I saw. And because I didn’t always have time to paint right away, I started working from photographs.” “The lovely part of that,” she continues, "is that I could capture what I had seen and the light stayed the same and light is a big part of painting. The other funny thing is that with photography, I had to wait for people to get out of the way before taking a photograph. With painting, I didn’t have to wait. I just removed them when I painted.” The next stage in Browning’s life as a painter came when a couple visiting her winter home in Florida asked if she would consider selling one of the paintings — a winter farm scene hanging in the guest bedroom — for the price they suggested. “Until then, I really hadn’t thought about
selling my paintings,” says Browning, now 78. “But, from then on, it has just seemed to happen. The friends that bought the first painting have it set up with a light on it and they tell me that people often ask about the artist. I feel very flattered.” Recently, the purchasers of that first painting commissioned her to do a second landscape — this time from a photograph they had taken of a thatched cottage in England — at twice the price they paid for the earlier Browning original. To date, she has sold many of her paintings and still has her walls covered with her favourite creations. One of these depicts a chalet on Robertson Lake. “I love the rock formation and the camera just caught the reflection of the water on the rocks,” she says. “I hate to part with this one, but I can’t duplicate it. I never want to paint the same scene twice.

Perth Golf Course becomes the first local golf club host a NITELINX event Perth Golf Course is proud to announce it will become the first course in Eastern Ontario to host a NITELINX event on Aug. 18. NITELINX is a glow-in-the-dark golf experience unlike anything golfers have ever seen before. Using glow balls and LED lights to highlight tee boxes, greens, bunkers, and water hazards, NITELINX is a whole new way to play golf. “We couldn’t be more excited to have NITELINX come to Perth,” said Perth Director of Golf Mark Strachan. “Although the Perth Golf Course is the oldest golf course in Canada, we’re far from ready to show our age. We are all really excited to host this fun evening that allows participants the unique opportunity to play golf like never before." The evening will include a patio party and barbecue at Perth following by nine holes of golf. Every golfer will also receive an LED-lighted golf ball,
mini flashlight, and LED pin. The first nine holes at Perth will be used for the event, the first of its kind east of Kingston. “We’re committed to having fun, and there’s nothing more fun than playing golf in this new and exciting way,” said Rob Knights, the vice president of TMSI Sports Management, the Ottawa-based management company that oversees operations for Perth Golf Course. “We’re positive NITELINX will bring out a robust crowd, and it’ll set the stage for even more events like this in the future.” Registration is now open to golfers and non-golfers alike. Please contact the pro shop at 613-267-3090 (ext. 2) for more information or to register. The event is open to golfers aged 19plus. The cost is $65 for an individual or $240 for a group of four. Submitted photo The event is presented by Lacey’s Perth Golf Course will host a NITELINX event Aug. 18. This unique glow-in-the-dark event is the first of its Furniture and Mattress Centre and kind at an eastern Ontario golf club. Trick & Trick Holdings.

Unidentified Floating Objects in Tay Canal identified at Perth Outfitters Large colourful floating objects floating the Tay Basin have been catching the attention of bystanders in Perth over the past month. These Unidentified Floating Objects have been identified by Perth Outfitters staff as Corcls. The coracle shaped objects are small floating boats, intended for improving paddling skills and just pure fun. The boat is designed after the Welsh, Irish and Scottish coracle, a fishing boat used centuries ago which was strategically maneuvered by the paddler with one hand in a criss-cross paddling motion known as ferrying. The fisherman would then use his other hand to fish. Perth Outfitters purchased a fleet of over 30 Corcl’s earlier this summer, and the little round boats have been a huge hit. Families are floating the basin in the brightly coloured boats which float on both sides. They can be paddled from a seated position or standing position, and the summer campers have had them spinning circles all summer long! The Corcl train has become a birthday party favourite and all around these boats are just a ton of fun! Corcl is a US based corporation in Baltimore, Maryland and this brilliant idea came from the
Corcl Founder, Carter Brigham. Brigham had this to say about Perth Outfitters jumping on the Corcl train. “Corcl boats confirms Perth Outfitters as a Canadian camp champion. Perth contemplated conforming with just kayaks and canoes but was captivated by circular contraptions. When their campers considered the Corcls, they were charmed. They cheered. They chanted. They chuckled. Regardless of geography, Perth Outfitters is part of Corcl Country now!” Perth Outfitters staff are loving the versatility of the boat, paddlers can enjoy a leisurely float, fill them with water on land for babies and toddlers and even pull older children behind kayaks and canoes to make for a new adventure in paddling. “The interest in the boats has been fantastic,” commented owner Ian Pearson. There is just one month left of summer fun, and we highly recommend adding Corcl’ing to your list of fun activities. Perth Outfitters is a retailer and rental facility of the Corcl boats. Corcl rentals can be made by the hour, half-day, full day or week and are reduced for the month of August. For as low as $15 you can experience the identified floating Submitted photos object for yourself this summer. Submitted by Melanie Ireton, Perth Outfitters It’s a Corcl-ing good time at Perth Outfitters as paddlers have fun on the Tay Canal.

Rideau Ferry singer-songwriter Amanda Jordan to play CCMA showcase BY EVELYN HARFORD
eharford@metroland.com
Amanda Jordan keeps getting opportunities to showcase her talent. This September, Jordan, the local singer-songwriter will be heading to Saskatoon to play in the “Diamonds In The Rough” showcase show at Canadian Country Music Association (CCMAs) Awards. Jordan, 21, was selected along with many other artists from across Canada, to perform at the Radisson Hotel during the week of the CCMAs on Sept. 7. “I’m really excited,” she said in a phone interview. “I’ve worked hard." Preforming at the “Diamonds In the Rough” showcase, organized by
Sirroma Entertainment, will give Jordan the chance to perform some of her latest songs, including Looking Up — a lighthearted song about the importance of doing things you love and helping those less fortunate. Jordan recently returned from Nashville, where she co-wrote with not only Caeland Garner, who writes for Johnny Reid, but songwriters Jason Matthews, who writes for Luke Bryon, and Phil Barton, who was a co-writer on River Town Saints Cherry Bomb. Jordan came back from Nashville with two songs, one being Looking Up and the other, Driving In The Dark. Jordan hopes to release Driving in the Dark in August to radio and Looking Up in the fall — both songs
will be part of her upcoming album. Jordan said she loved spending time in Nashville, with creatives that she could mesh with. “It was really nice to click with such talented people,” she said. “They’re so friendly, great genuine people. “They made me feel at home.” Writing has been something that Jordan has done for a long time, starting with poetry when she was 13. “Writing has always been part of my life, it’s like therapy for me,” she said. But it’s not a selfish passion. Jordan loves to give back through music. “I love sharing stories for those who can’t,” she said. Jordan lives and breathes community and helping people through music. In mid-August, she will be working on a music video for a song she wrote
for Sarah Patterson’s daughter, baby Everley, who lives down her road and is struggling with congenital central hypoventilation syndrome, a rare illness that affects her breathing. The family have been the only ones to hear the song. “Their family has been through so much and they are the strongest, most loving people I know,” wrote Jordan in a follow-up email to the Record News. The recent news coming from Jordan is only part of the story. In June, she was selected by the Country Music Association of Ontario as one of five people to showcase in London, Ont. “It was so much fun,” she said of the London performance, where she signed autographs for the first time; a new, welcomed experience for the young artist.
Sharing her music with new audiences and industry people are equally important, Jordan said. “Music is a part of who I am, it’s all I want to do,” she wrote. “I hope that people connect with my songs and that it will make a difference in some small way.” When Jordan was asked about her most recent successes, the humble artist said, “I’m happy with where I am right now. I’m going to continue to write and make music.” You can connect with Jordan in person at the Perth Ribfest on July 29 at about 2 p.m. People can follow Jordan at www. amandajordanmusic.com or on her Instagram and Snapchat @amandatjordan. For bookings, contact her at 613-485-2663 or email amandajordan494@gmail.com.
