Mayor seeks to divert rail work to off-season Desmond Devoy

Bouquet of ‘roses’

Community – It was an exceptional year for garlic, and for visitors to the 17th annual Perth Lions Garlic Festival. With 84 vendors this year, the largest to date, the weekend provided sunny and warm temperatures to entice visitors to the area. Brent and Linda Bistrisky sell some of their 8,000 bulbs of garlic this year. They say it is a great garlic-growing year with the perfect amount of sun, rain and warmth this season. They are from Hilltop Homestead farm of Killaloe. This is their second year at the festival, fifth year growing garlic.

News – No amount of extra policing could have prevented the traffic disruptions that followed the maintenance work on the railway crossing at Wilson Street. Perth drivers faced two days of traffic chaos at the end of July, and “we had to call the OPP twice to direct traffic,” said Coun. Jim Boldt during Perth town council’s committee-of-the-whole meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 5. He added that he had received numerous complaints about the delays from constituents during the period. While he was off at the time, Insp. Derek Needham, detachment commander of the Lanark County OPP, had to contend with the traffic delays himself when he was in town running errands on the first day of construction. He told council that he noticed the traffic levels peeking around 1 p.m. that day, even as a police officer directed traffic at the intersection of Drummond and Harris. Southbound traffic on Drummond was backed up to Highway 7 at some points. There was another officer also helping direct traffic, but a backlog of cars on Harris Street made the situation worse. Needham pointed out that inattentive drivers were also part of the problem, with some drivers simply disregarding the detour and warning signs. Northbound traffic on Wilson Street was be-

ing directed to turn left on to Sunset Boulevard, towards Glen Tay – but some drivers were disregarding this and turning right on to Harris, then trying to turn left onto Drummond, which was already laden with vehicles, thereby creating a bottleneck. Another incident saw a westbound driver on Highway 7 turn on to Wilson Street. When confronted by the “Road Closed” signs, she did not let that stop her, driving up on the curb and around the signs, circumventing the blockade. There were all manner of signs and warnings about the blocked off street: “I’m not sure what was missing apart from a tank,” said Needham, hastening then to add that the local OPP does not have, or have plans to acquire, a tank. “That small per cent can derail your best plans,” said Needham, admitting that it was a “bad pun.” He added though that there was little more the OPP could have done. “There is not a lot you can do (even) if you have six ofﬁcers directing trafﬁc… it wouldn’t have made a darn bit of difference one way or another,” said Needham, who was frustrated himself as a driver about this type of work being done on a main thoroughfare at a peak travel time in Perth, when, with the addition of cottagers to the roads, puts maximum demands on area roads.

West Ottawa Ladies’ Chorus seeking more members to join group Community – The following was written by Jacqueline Sanders – resident of Carleton Place and one of the founding singers of the West Ottawa Ladies’ Chorus. Three years ago, in the spring of 2011, I received a call from my sister telling me she had joined a choir in Stitttsville and did I want to attend a practice. Just to check it out. She knew I had been “checking out” choirs for several years, but had not found a good ﬁt. I was immediately swept up by the enthusiasm of Robert Dueck, the director, by the atmosphere created by the music he chose, and by the fun all the ladies were having. This was a good ﬁt, and before I really knew it, I was a member of the West Ottawa Ladies’ Chorus. We perform two full concerts each year, one at Christmas, and one in the spring. For me, one of the best things about the choir is our rehearsal spaces, two seniors’ residences in Kanata and that each term we perform several singouts at other seniors’ residences. So many seniors have choir experience, or have considerable musical knowledge, and they love it when we sing for them. We have performed twice at The Waterside, and this past spring, we sang a

practice. Thank goodness for Google! It’s part of what makes me look forward to each practice, Wednesday and Sunday afternoons. Singers are asked to attend one of the two weekly rehearsals with many singers wanting to participate at both. We sing secular and sacred music ranging from contemporary madrigals to Gershwin, Canadian and European folk songs, and classic nostalgia hits to lighter novelty numbers. The majority of songs in our growing repertoire are lovely story/poem lyrics set to a contemporary style of music and

arranged for a traditional three or fourpart ladies choir. In addition to providing entertainment as a community choir, we also learn to recognize each other’s skills and aptitudes as members of the chorus, have fun, and laugh a lot. If you are interested in joining our choir, contact Robert Dueck at LadiesChorus@Bell.net. Listen to chorus perform a variety of songs by searching the West Ottawa Ladies’ Chorus YouTube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQxjr0Td5BL5eNxTNVr9Fpw. R0012841076_0814

Enjoy the Ride.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Number of ‘move over’ law charges highest since 2010: OPP DEAR EDITOR: After ten years of education efforts, which includes more than 11,000 charges on record since the law came into effect, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is dismayed to see a slow but steady increase in the number of “Move Over” charges it has laid against drivers since 2010. The OPP will be looking to Ontario drivers to help them reinforce the importance of Ontario’s Move Over law by setting a good example and observing this important law this summer. In Ontario, Section 159 (2)(3) of the Highway Trafﬁc Act (HTA) requires drivers to slow down and proceed with caution when passing an emergency vehicle parked on the side of the highway with its lights activated. If the highway has more than one lane, the law requires the driver

to move over and leave one lane between their vehicle and the parked emergency vehicle if it can be done safely. Failure to do so can result in a fine of $400 to $2,000 plus three demerit points. There were 1,502 Section 159 (2)(3) charges last year (2013) and the number has increased steadily since 2010 when the OPP issued 1,067 such charges against Ontario drivers. The increase suggests that many drivers may be unaware of this important law aimed at keeping police and other emergency responders safe on the roadside. Since 1989, five OPP officers have been killed as a result of being struck while doing their job on the roadside and many more have been injured. Ontario Provincial Police

COMMENTARY Rich plowing history Editorial – The ﬁelds have been primed and a sure sign that summer’s end is approaching are the annual plowing matches. Locally, the Lanark County Plowmen’s Association will hold the annual Lanark County Plowing Match at the farm of Jim Tim, west of Almonte this Friday and Saturday (Aug. 15 and 16). Following up on that is the Ottawa-Carleton Plowing Match Aug. 22 to 23 in the Munster area; and the Grenville County Plowing Match will dig up some ﬁelds Sept. 27. This event will be hosted by Maitland Meadows Farms Ltd. near Merrickville. The International Plowing Match will be held in Simcoe County Sept. 16 to 20. These matches celebrate the rich agricultural history Lanark, Leeds and Grenville has and throughout Ontario they have been held for more than a century. Originally designed to provide farmers with an opportunity to show their prowess with a walking plow or horse-draw plow, advancements in technology over the years have seen the addition of tractors and larger implements. Those traditional classes are still practiced and featured at today’s plowing matches and are quite a sight to see. In addition to plowing, many of the matches feature special exhibits, musical entertainment and a chance to see municipal leaders climb atop a tractor and try to plow a straight furrow. It is more challenging than it looks. A plowing match is a great opportunity to get a better understanding and appreciation of the true art of farming. So often we forget the work that goes into the profession and it shouldn’t be overlooked.

Our feet barely hit the ﬂoor as we tore outside to see what had happened. Well, there was Emerson, smart enough to be well away from the scene of the crime, with his face covered with ash, and two dead hens beside him. They had been hit head-on. What was left of the outhouse, lay on its side, with the two holes pointing westward, and the big stone beside it smashed to smithereens.

had long since said she was going to have Old Herman, an authority on outhouses, build a new one as soon as she could afford the new lumber. Until that happened, the two holes alone would be uprighted, and would have to do as an outhouse. Fortunately, they were well hidden in a cluster of cedar trees. Father was harder to deal with. Apart from the danger, a point he barely touched on, he lamented on the loss of the two sticks of dynamite that had been wasted on a building that had served the Haneman family for three generations.

ronto region. But I didn’t give it much thought! More than two hours later we were cruising along and all was good. Then the pilot came on the public address system with an ominous message. “There are severe thunderstorms around Toronto Pearson and we may have to divert to our alternate airport, North Bay (Ontario).” Heather and I looked at each other. We were both thinking the same thing. “Oh no, not a flight delay. Not with the baby!” We crossed our fingers but only minutes later the pilot said Pearson was closed due to the severe weather and we would be changing course and flying to North Bay. “We will refuel and hope to be on our way to Toronto as quickly as possible. I’m sorry for the inconvenience.” Who says babies are too little to know what is happening? Because just after the captain made his announcement Lily and the other youngsters on the plane (there were several) all started crying in unison. It was uncanny! “Oh, oh,” I thought to myself. “Now we’re in trouble!” Those with flight connections in Toronto, including our seatmate, were extremely displeased of course. “At least this plane is eventually going on to Ottawa. We’ll be OK,” I told my daughter reassuringly. So, on we flew to North Bay. As we came in for the landing Lake Nipissing glistened in the afternoon sunlight. It was totally clear there. To make a long story shorter we were in the small, northern city for 90 minutes or so. Another large aircraft was also di-

rather in the auxiliary power unit which keeps large planes partly functional when they are on the ground. The fire trucks came but it was relatively minor and, finally, the other plane pushed back and we got our gate. This time we were advised to leave the aircraft, take a break and re-board when the Ottawa portion of the flight was called. That turned out to be a good move. We were able to use the facilities, have a cold drink and stretch. Lily was incredibly good which really helped. It was 9:45 p.m. (we were originally due in Ottawa at 7:30) before we took off for the 50-minute flight to the nation’s capital. This time all went well but we were more than three hours late arriving. As we were about to leave the plane we heard “Happy Birthday” playing over the PA. There was a chorus of singing and clapping. On the way out I asked if it was a crew member’s birthday. As we suspected, it was. The chief steward grinned and pointed to a flight attendant who had assisted us during our long and trying day. “It’s your birthday,” I said. “It’s mine, too!” Yes, it was my birthday and I had been on a plane for eight hours plus. The young lady in question high-fived and hugged me. “Happy Birthday,” she beamed. As I walked along the jetway into the airport terminal, with my daughter and my beautiful little granddaughter at my side, I thought that despite the trials and tribulations this had been a very special birthday indeed. At that moment just being with them was all that mattered. If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers.com.

verted to North Bay and that meant refueling took longer than anticipated. The small airport isn’t used to handling heavy jets. One break though! The airport did not have a portable stairway high enough to reach our plane. Otherwise we would have had to deplane. Unloading and reloading a full passenger jet is a lengthy process. Kind people Lily was tired, hot and bored. The air conditioning was off while we were on the ground and it was stifling inside the plane. But when she did cry, which wasn’t often, our predicament sparked sympathy and not annoyance among our fellow passengers and the airline crew. We had lots of offers of help from very kind people! Airborne for Toronto again we experienced yet another delay in landing because so many flights, which had also been diverted due to the airport shutdown, were now converging on Pearson. The worst was yet to come! When we landed, 30 minutes later than the pilot first predicted, we were forced to wait on the tarmac for nearly another hour because there was no gate available. By this time everyone on the plane was thoroughly fed up. We were already over three hours late and some passengers’ connections were in jeopardy. The plane was also stinking hot. We were tired, uncomfortable and grumpy. I felt so sorry for Heather as we struggled to keep her little girl happy. It was rapidly becoming a losing battle. Lily was just as hot and tired as we were. To further complicate matters the plane ahead of us experienced a small fire. It was not in the aircraft itself but

some of the myriad of clothing and materials necessary to support a baby for a month. I had an uneventful flight to Saskatchewan and spent three days there. The Friday before the Civic Holiday we headed for Regina International Airport. We flew Canada’s second airline on this occasion and no complaints there. They were very good to us. Hauling Heather’s checked bag into the airport building was the first hurdle. With apologies to those whose name I am taking in vain, I quickly dubbed the suitcase “Big Bertha.” It is massive, it was packed to overflowing and it was very heavy. We also had to check the base for Lily’s car seat. The seat itself and the baby’s stroller went onto the aircraft with us and were stored by the crew. Juggling act If you have ever gone through airport security with a baby and all of their associated paraphernalia you won’t soon forget it. Heather and I could have used four hands each to juggle Lily’s stroller, formula bottles (all liquids are carefully screened these days) and the remainder of her extensive carry-on kit. Despite the tight quarters I was looking forward to sharing my granddaughter’s first flight. We never flew when our children were young so this was a first for me too. The aircraft was scheduled to fly from Regina to Toronto’s Pearson Airport, the largest in the country. I was late booking and missed the one, daily direct flight to Ottawa. We took the next best option. The plane was scheduled to land in Toronto to discharge and pick-up passengers. We would not have to get off before the same flight continued on to Ottawa. We were flying on a Boeing 737 which has a seat configuration featuring three seats on each side of a centre aisle. We settled in for the three-hour first leg to Toronto. Lily was good and partway through Heather said “once we get to Toronto I’m not worried. It’s such a short flight to Ottawa from there.” I watched the TV screen at times, mainly tuning in the daily news and sports. I noticed when the Calgary CTV affiliate showed the national weather that thunderstorms were predicted for the To-

Lifestyle – Anyone who has experience traveling by air will have their own “horror story” (or stories) to relate. The more you fly the more likely you are to have some negative experiences related to delays, diversions, tight seating, overbooking, lost flight data, annoying passengers and a host of other things. It goes with the territory! I know some of you will smirk and say “that’s nothing” when you read the story I am about to relate. But anyone who has flown with a young child in tow will relate to this. In fact I’m sure most seasoned fliers will shake their heads knowingly. Because when it comes to flying, sometimes getting there can be half the battle. In March our daughter Heather and her partner Indy were blessed with a new arrival. Her name is Lily and she is the first grandchild for my wife Kathleen and I. The entire family is delighted including my parents who now have a third great-grandchild. Lily will be five-months-old next week and right now we are in the midst of a month-long visit with the baby, her mom and dad. Not just us of course. They are staying here but also in Montreal with Indy’s family and with our son Craig in Ottawa. Not surprisingly everybody wants a piece of the action. Lily is a little doll – not that we are prejudiced or anything! Indy is an engineer working for an Ottawa-based company in Saskatchewan. So they are living in Regina which is where our granddaughter was born. Until this visit the only people from our side of the family to meet Lily were Kathy and I (we traveled to Regina the week after she was born) and Craig who spent a week in the Saskatchewan capital in June. Every summer my mother’s side holds a family get-together on Civic Holiday weekend. Although her daddy had to stay behind for several days in order to complete a work project, Lily and her mom wanted to attend the reunion. But Heather needed some assistance to travel. Therefore I volunteered to fly to Regina, stay for a couple of days and then accompany them on the return flight to Ottawa. I traveled light, leaving extra room in my checked bag and my carry-on for

With 84 vendors this year, the largest to date, the weekend provided sunny and warm temperatures to entice visitors to the area. Above, Al Cowan of Arran Hill Garlic Farm shows some garlic braiding just inside the gates a the Perth Lions Club. Right, Evan Ruzycky of Toronto shows his garlic chop invention. It’s a clever set of tools used to peel and chop garlic, without getting one’s hands covered in garlic. The kitchen tools were selling like hotcakes.

Kids create ‘little world in a shoe box’ at Perth Library summer workshop Community – Did you know that monsters live in condos? They do in the summer programs at the Perth and District Union Public Library – in the world of dioramas that is. Participants were busy at work getting lost in their own little worlds of their own creation on Wednesday, July 23 and, like more modern theatrical productions, they needed to break down the fourth wall – in order that their hands fit in. Pipe cleaners, feathers, clay and crayons were all utilized for scenes of peace and dog-walking for the hour-long event last week. Left, Grace Noonan looks warily at our photographer, not wanting to do her ‘big reveal’ too soon. Below left, tutor Eli Hansen uses hit teeth to straighten a pipe cleaner before trying to work it through the side of a shoebox.

Imagine.. the best of both worlds!

Special review: Dial M for Murder a hard act to follow Arts – Many audience members who attend Dial M for Murder (presented as part of Perth’s Classic Theatre Festival’s Fifth Anniversary Summer Season) will have previously seen the 1954 Alfred Hitchcock movie of the same name. Although the screenplay was excessively wordy and the plot extremely convoluted, Hitchcock resisted the urge to ‘open the film up’, and mostly confined the action to one set, he still managed to produce a classic. So, even though this slightly dated movie was stage bound, the Classic Theatre’s presentation embraced the play’s theatrical origins, and the professionalism of the actors elevated the results into a gripping, enthralling presentation. Not so much a whodunit, but more of a will-he-get-away-with-it, the action starts in a 1952 London apartment where Margot Wendice (Jennifer Valance) is reminiscing with former boyfriend Max Halliday (Scott Clarkson) about their affair. Even though it is obvious that they still harbour strong feelings for each other, they decide, for the sake of Margot’s marriage, not to reignite the flames. Enter Margot’s husband, Tony Wendice (Greg Campbell), whom the former lovers mistakenly believe is unaware of the affair. Tony is a suavelycharming rogue, who married for money, and is now so enraged by his wife’s affair that he is plotting to have

her murdered, which would enable him to inherit her fortune. Tony blackmails a former classmate, the con-artist Captain Lesgate (menacingly played by Richard Gelinas) into agreeing to murder his wife, while he attends a nearby club the next evening with Max, to furnish himself with an alibi. The plot goes terribly wrong, resulting in the death of Captain Lesgate, causing Tony to improvise desperately, in order to link Margot with the Captain. Walking a tricky tightrope, he must outwardly appear to support his wife, yet manipulate events in such a manner that Margot is charged with murder. Greg Campbell plays the two-faced cad to perfection, and even elicits our sympathy on occasion. Like Erich Von Stroheim from the 1920s through the 1940s, he is ‘The Man we Love to Hate’, and even somewhat guiltily admire, due to the sheer breathtaking audacity of his undertaking. Because of the unrelenting intervention of Inspector Hubbard (Clyde Whitham), and the strategic placement of a number of latch-keys, the plot is finally resolved satisfactorily. As the former lover, Scott Clarkson as Max is effectively besotted by Margot, and bewildered by events. Playing an early-1950s’ crime-writer in the then much-derided medium of television, he presents Tony with an unintentionally humourous series of possible scenarios

The relationship between Margot Wendice (Jennifer Valance) and Max Halliday (Scott Clarkson, in tux), right, provides one of the keys to solving the crime in the Classic Theatre Festival production of Dial M for Murder, on until Aug. 31 at 54 Beckwith Street East in Perth. which, though implausible, come close to replicating the true nature of events. Jennifer Vallance portrays Margot as a strong, yet trusting, woman

caught up bizarre plot, by today’s calms her

in a bewildering and who amazingly (judging sensibilities) continually nerves by smoking a

series of cigarettes. Great care was taken by David Magladry (set and lighting designer) to give the single set an uncluttered, authentic appearance.The period lighting, subdued or heightened as needed, added greatly to the many different moods of the play; the 1950’s furnishings brought to life home-decorating periodicals of that era. Congratulations are due also to Renate Seiler (costume designer) for her evocations of fashions, which were quite formal, compared to today’s lax standards. The play’s director (and founding artistic producer of the festival), Laurel Smith, noted during pre-performance introductions that the festival’s mandate included highlighting popular plays from the 1920s through the 1970s-thus assuring, no doubt, the presentation of a series of interesting and challenging works which would be welcomed by discerning audiences. If Dial M for Murder can be viewed as being truly representative of this endeavour, then Smith has succeeded admirably. Desmond Peter Devoy is a London, Ont.-based writer and photographer who was visiting the Perth area this week. His writings have appeared in Irish Connections Canada and the Toronto Irish News. His photographs have also been published in the EMC and Horizons magazine. This submission was a special submission.

DREAMS FOR SALE - CHOOSE wISELy… CHOOSE Connected to Your Community - 22 - Thursday, August 14, 2014

Lifestyle – Sometimes the cats we write about for this column get adopted before publication. If you plan to come to LAWS for a speciﬁc cat you read about in the paper, please contact the shelter to ﬁnd out whether he/she is still at the shelter. LAWS is currently accepting donations of gently used treasures for the next garage sale fundraiser at the shelter on Aug. 23. Please contact Wendy at 613-283-9308 or email shelter@lanarkanimals.ca for more details. For more information about our adoptable animals or events visit www.lanarkanimals.ca or visit us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/lanarkanimals.ca.

Hello everybody, remember me? I was in the paper before way back in March. Nobody came to see me yet and I wonder why. I am a very cool black and white cat with stunning long white whiskers, I purr on command and get along well with my cat buddies. I am still young, just over three years, and still full of energy. I love to eat and it’s starting to show. The ladies at LAWS tell me, once I am in a loving home, I can’t pig out all day anymore. I think that’s a good thing, I want to remain that handsome boy you’ve been looking Pepper for. Please make an effort Pepper was a surrender as the life- to meet me, I am a real gem style of the previous owner changed and unfortunately she could not care for Pepper anymore. Pepper is a lovely female tabby cat of about 1.5-years-old who keeps to herself. She is around other cats and doesn’t mind, but she does not actively seek a buddy to play or sleep with. She’s quiet and content where she is at the moment, but we all know, she’d be better of in a loving home.

This Week’s Pets

R0012843998_0814

This week’s featured pets Diablo He’s playful and fast, about four months young, loves to play soccer with his buddies, has a shiny tuxedo coat. Diablo loves treats and loves attention. Diablo is an escapee…when you leave the door open he might explore the outside. He’s curious, as most young cats are and he’s very ready for his next chapter: his forever home.

NEW

Dutchess Dutchess has been proﬁled before. She’s another very affectionate female tabby cat, the same age as Pepper we think; about 1.5 years. She’s quiet but loves to be handled. She sort of quietly watches days go by, buddies gone and she’s still here. Inside she hopes to be the next one to be picked but she’s not pushy enough. She’s deﬁnitely worth the trip to LAWS please come to check her out.

Hunter

Oreo He’s as sweet as the name may suggest he’s only 2.5-years-old. Thin build with a beautiful ﬂuffy black tail, that makes him special. Oreo likes being with other cats and is looking for that special lap to sit on. A sunny windowsill would do too, as often you see him balancing between the scratch pole and the window, trying to catch a glimpse of the outdoors he’s longing to explore.

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue

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

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23

Aries, you may have to make a few minor changes to your original plan, but other than those minor adjustments there is nothing standing in your way this week.

A small disappointment has you out of whack, Libra. Don’t let it get to you for too long. Family members will help pull you out of a brief funk and get you on your feet.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

Home improvement projects continue to pile up, Taurus. Use this week as an opportunity to get everything in motion and on the path to completion.

Scorpio, you may be ready to make some really big changes. Forge ahead with the plans you have created, and you will be glad for having done so.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

A few more tweaks and your master plan will be complete, Gemini. Now you just need a few able-bodied volunteers to work with you through some of the hard labor.

Financial issues come to the forefront of a relationship, Sagittarius. Keep arguments from escalating by being open and honest about all purchases. Things can be worked out together.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

Cancer, a late-summer trip makes the perfect finale to a few good weeks of recreation. A little adventure is in your future, so make the most of this opportunity.

Few things can wipe away the smile on your face this week, Capricorn. You are in an eternally good mood, and your positivity is intoxicating to others around you.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

Leo, once you have your mind made up, it is extremely difficult to sway your opinion. Others will try this week to get you onto their side. But you’re just not feeling it.

Aquarius, you will have an enormous sense of accomplishment when you finish a task you thought above your skill level. Always believe in yourself.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Virgo, whether you have been lucky or unlucky in love as of late, this is the week for some romantic surprises. Your entire perspective could be turned on its head.

New report shows Ontario leads country in road safety Lifestyle – The Ontario Ministry of Transportation recently released their latest Road Safety Report (2011) and it provides some interesting insight to the status of our driving skills and road corridors. The report analyzes trafﬁc collisions from every jurisdiction in the province and provides break-outs and statistical data on fatalities, injuries, pedestrian and cyclist events, types of vehicles involved, and basically all the who, where, how, when, what, and sometimes why. First the good news: in terms of surviving our roads, Ontario has the second lowest fatality rate per 10,000 licensed drivers in North America (Northwest Territories beat us) at 0.53 per 10,000. This is the 13th consecutive year that Ontario has been rated number one or two. Measured by distance driven our overall collision rate has dropped steadily from 3.2 per million kilometres in 1988 to 1.4 in 2011. If you’re an extra cautious sort, you stand the greatest risk of dying in a motor vehicle collision on an early Friday evening in July in Toronto between 6 and 7 p.m. with good light and visibility conditions and clear roads if you’re a driver between the ages of 45 and 54 (over 75 if you’re the passenger). Pretty amazing that winter’s worst can’t do us in as easily as good roads and clear skies. Drinking was still the number one cause of collision deaths in 2011 at

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

23.3 per cent of the 466 victims but inattentive drivers were the cause of 14.3 per cent of those fatalities. The Ministry of Transportation didn’t differentiate between electronic distractions and others such as eating or drinking or reaching for something in the back seat. And yes, excessive speed was responsible for almost 20 per cent of deaths on our roads according to this report. The complete report is worth the read and can be found at www.ontario. ca/orsar. “Dear Brian, Just want to thank you for the great article on ignition switch concerns recently. Unfortunately, we are experiencing the exact same problem as mentioned. The ignition has turned off suddenly while driving our 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan. It has happened three times now since we bought this van second-hand last September from our local dealer. As a matter of fact, tomorrow we are taking it back to the dealership whereby a technician is going to take it for a test drive to see if he can “ﬁnd” the problem.

It’s very frustrating and a complete waste of time as we had told them, as it only happens randomly and without warning. We will persevere until they replace/fix the ignition, especially since we also purchased the extended warranty. Any suggestions or advice on how to proceed further would be greatly appreciated.” Sincerely, Eric The problem is most likely related to the ignition switch on the dash and if the switch is just loose, a foam bushing that was developed by Chrysler can be installed at a reasonable cost to improve the tension on the switch to keep it from moving to the off position if jarred or bumped. However, a number of these switches had to be replaced to resolve this issue and their cost is around $460 for the part alone. If the dealer finds the switch is defective and can’t help with the cost if it isn’t covered by an extended warranty, I’d suggest getting in touch with Chrysler Canada’s consumer line to see what can be done. Eric followed up with me recently with this note: “FYI...the dealership finally replaced the ignition switch module with a new set of keys last month. This was covered under the extended warranty we had purchased (After all this time!) Thank you for your much appreciated advice.” On Saturday, Aug. 16, the fifth annual Nepean Kiwanis Club Charity Car

1958 Chevrolet Impala hardtop found in Alberta Lifestyle – Ken Hunter of Arner, Ont., was born in 1943 and at age 21 purchased a 1958 Chevrolet Delray in Picton, Ont. At the time, he really wanted a ‘58 Impala, which first came out that year. Forty-six years later, he bought one, and it’s a real beauty! Here is the story. The first owner lived in Texas and kept this Oshawa-built car at his cottage near Red Deer, Alberta. He later sold it to a teenager, who took it to a body shop for some restoration work. When he couldn’t pay the bill, the body shop confiscated the car and kept it for the next 20 years, often driving it in parades and at weddings. The fourth owner was a geologist in Calgary, who unfortunately parked it outside and mice got into it. He finally put it up for sale in 2010. Ken saw the ad on the internet. He phoned his two brothers in Alberta and asked them to look at the car. One brother phoned back and said: “You better buy it! And if you don’t, I will!” The car had not been driven in 10 years, and one of the brothers said the gas in the line had turned to shellac. But it was well worth buying. A truck company told Ken the car was too big and so he shipped it by rail. Door to door was $1,600. The 2-speed

Powerglide transmission was leaking. Ken took it to World-wide Transmission in Windsor and an older man was called out of retirement to ﬁx it. The automatic transmission has now been completely rebuilt. The car came with a 283 V8 and 2 bbl. carb which Ken has now replaced with a 4 bbl carb and Edelbrock intake from Performance Plus in Blenheim. The car has been repainted in the original Caribbean Turquoise and Arctic White by “Top Gun,” a body shop in Harrow. The car has bias-ply wide whitewalls, AM radio, heater, windshield washers controlled by a button under the dash, fender skirts, and a factory-installed continental kit. Ken added the outside rear view mirror and also replaced the interior side panels and headliner. The seat covers are original. Ken’s grandchildren love sitting on the pull-out arm rest in the middle of the back seat. I’m always looking for more stories. Email billsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O.

Laura Scott of Oxford Mills and Derek Oliver of Rideau Ferry picked up their cheques on Aug. 6 from the Smiths Falls Town and Country Chrysler dealership owner, Brad Kyle. “Congratulations to both of you and the work you do with 4H,” Kyle said. “We are proud of you and proud to be able to present these scholarships to the two of you who are so close to Smiths Falls.” Scott was all smiles as she accepted her scholarship, saying it would ease the financial hardship somewhat. “It will help me purchase books,” she said. Scott, 18, is a graduate of North Grenville District High School with plans to attend Guelph University in the fall for a bachelor of arts degree in food, agriculture and resource economics. “I’m not sure which forte yet,” she said. “I like the marketing aspect of it, and I’m excited to see what fits… what I like.” She’s been a 4H Club member for eight years, and she enjoys showing cattle at a various fairs and festivals. The best part about farming on her parents’ 1,000 acre cash crop farm with Limousin cattle is “being outdoors,” she said. “I love being out with the animals… the early-morning part I had to train myself to be a morning person, but for the most part, I love it outside… except when it’s really cold.” Scott added that she was “thrilled to be one of the 100 recipients across Canada to win this award.” For Oliver, 17, the bursary will also be used for schooling. He plans on attending MacDonald College (McGill University) in Montreal. “I will be taking farm management and technology,” says the Perth and District High School graduate. “It will teach me basic farm management and

business concepts… how to take care of crops.” Oliver’s family also has a 1,000-acre dairy farm with 200 head of cattle. They milk 70 Holstein cows. He says he has been a 4-H Club member for eight years and enjoys meeting new people and judging various competitions. “I like judging fairs, and take part in the Lombardy and Perth fairs,” he says. Ontario Federation of Agriculture’s Ruth Vogel of Rideau Lakes Township says it’s important to keep the next generation invested in farming. “It’s tough these days,” Vogel said. “It’s very expensive, so scholarships like these are important. It’s really exciting to see two local young people receive these scholarships especially when 100 of them were awarded across Canada. That’s exciting.” Vogel added that it is important for youth to reach their goals and their full potential, and the OFA is always encouraging that. “OFA is interesting in kids reaching their full potential and it’s important for the future of agriculture,” she says. The Ram Canada scholarships recognize 100 scholarships for 100 years of 4-H in Canada, totaling $100,000. According to 4-H Canada, the opportunity allows 100 deserving 4-H members to further pursue their post-secondary education in September. There were some 200 members who applied for scholarships. Scott Westlake of 4-H Canada was at the presentations on Wednesday afternoon. He is from the Ottawa office. “We are thrilled to be able to deliver these scholarships,” Westlake said. “There are 25,000 kids now across Canada in 4-H, so this is really an indication about how these top 100 members are exemplary. Their resumes are outstanding and they have to be in good standing in 4-H as well as have good academic studies to be considered for the scholarships.” The Chrysler Foundation made the scholarships possible. This is the charitable arm of Chrysler

Fire Safety Basics for

Student Accommodation A parent’s guide to finding fire-safe accommodation for students attending college or university

Parents have many issues to consider when seeking suitable accommodation for a daughter or son attending college or university . The following information will help to determine if potential accommodation make the grade when it comes to fire safety.

Smoke Alarms

It is the law in Ontario to have working smoke alarms on every storey and outside all sleeping areas. The law applies to single family, semi-detached, townhomes and apartments (including basement apartments), whether owner-occupied or rented. Rooming houses have specific regulations about smoke alarms or fire alarm systems. In addition to smoke alarms within each unit or suite, apartment buildings and student residences operated by the school may also have a building fire alarm system. Make sure the landlord, administrator or superintendent identifies and explains the fire alarm and detection features in the building and unit.

Exits

It is important to consider how people will escape from a room or apartment in an emergency. Every room or apartment requires adequate exits that will permit unobstructed escape from the building. Make sure to ask the landlord or superintendent to identify all of the designated exits. All windows and doors should open fully and easily. Stairways and hallways must not be used for storage as this can pose serious fire safety hazards. Furniture and other obstacles can physically block exits and may fill hallways or stairways with smoke if they catch fire. This practice must be strictly avoided. R0012843289_0814

See the Advertisement beside for valuable fire safety information that every student should know before moving away from home.

For more information:

Contact the administration offices of the college or university. They will frequently maintain a registry of available accommodation for students. Call the local fire department to determine if the building has been inspected for Fire Code compliance. Electrical safety tips and information about common electrical hazards can be found at the Electrical Safety Authority website at: www.esainspection.net Fire safety tips and information can be found at the Office of the Fire Marshal website at: www.ofm.gov.on.ca

Student Accommodation When young people attend college or university, they will often be living away from home for the first time. This can be a concern for parents as they try to ensure their children will be safe when they’re not living under the same roof. The following is important fire safety information that every student should know before moving away from home. Parents should discuss these basic fire safety rules with their kids before dropping them off at their new dwelling.

Speed bumps or humps slated for Mill Street traffic control desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Speed bumps or humps will be the latest feature to be added to the Mill Street redevelopment this summer after a chorus of concern from residents. Staff will ultimately make the final decision on which type of traffic calming will be best utilized to slow down traffic, while also accommodating municipal vehicles like snow plows. “We truly appreciate the work that has been done on Mill Street this summer,” said Carole-Anne McNeil, speaking on behalf of residents at the town council’s committee-of-the-whole on Tuesday, Aug. 5. With Stewart Park on one side, and a children’s park on the other side of the street, the area draws in a lot of young families. But along with strollers and tricycles, McNeil and her neighbours also noticed a lot of trucks and jeeps rushing up and down the street at high speed. “The trucks roar up to the top of the hill, turn around (at the cul-de-sac), and roar back down, past the toddler park,” she said. If bumps in the road were not enough to slow down speeding

trucks before the start of construction, “we can only image what it will be like when there is a nice, smooth surface,” after construction. While she encouraged parents and guardians to be diligent when out with their children, “it is only a matter of time before a tragedy occurs,” she warned. She admitted that, already, “we have wonderful signage there,” but that it was not enough. She added that she would like to see even more policing on the street. Coun. Jim Boldt agreed that speeding has “always been a buga-boo of mine,” and that he too had suggested a speed bump for Drummond Street – before being told that, as a major thoroughfare that was the go-to route for ambulances, this was not possible. But he shared her concerns. “I shake my head when I see how people drive in this town,” he said. He has seen such reckless driving for himself on Mill Street, when his daughter lived there. “I have always been a big supporter of speed bumps.” Coun. Judy Brown agreed that traffic calming was an issue, but “I think that this goes beyond Mill Street.” She used to live at Foster and Gore streets and saw similar speeding concerns, where vehicles would “gun their en-

gines and let everyone know how loud their muffler was… (I am) not sure what the motivation was there.” Coun. Beth Peterkin, however, urged caution before making too rash of a move. This staged approach was endorsed by the staff report by Grant Machan, the director of environmental services. “I would like to see the staged phase… than just putting them in right away,” Peterkin said, with speed bumps getting “chipped and damaged,” by snow plows. But she did tell McNeil and her fellow Mill Street residents, “thank you for your patience as we do this work over the summer.” The staff report had recommended that: - The base course of asphalt be completed this summer, along with new signage. - Evaluate traffic patterns and speeds in the corridor in 2015. - Look at alternative methods, including traffic enforcement, education, amended zone painting and asphalt texturing. But for Mayor John Fenik, Mill Street stood out as different from other streets. “That particular area of town has always been an issue,” Fenik said. “Let’s do it now rather than

waiting another year.” Coun. Ed McPherson did not discount the concerns on Mill Street – but was frustrated at what he saw as that street jumping the line ahead of his own street, Mather. “It’s called the Mather Speedway, where there is the beer store on the one end, and (the road to) Christie Lake on the other,” McPherson said. “I don’t know how to tell other taxpayers… that their concerns are not as valid as those on Mill Street.” But Machan reminded council that Mill Street had been identified in a traffic plan as being a prime location for traffic calming. For Coun. Jim Graff, whose grandchildren use the toddler park, that playground, and its entrance’s proximity to the road, made it a priority. “Mill Street hosts more visitors than the average street would,” said McNeil. “I’ve seen too many close calls from my window.” The report stated that the installation of signage and asphalt per speed bump would be between $2,000 and $3,000, and chief administrative officer John deRosenroll pointed out that speed humps were “lower and

bump, however, “makes the vehicles also come to a stop,” but “they tend to be less agreeable to snow plows.”

Council votes down e-car recharging station

Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News - Electronic car drivers will have to charge up somewhere else after Perth council decided against investing in an e-car recharging station. Mayor John Fenik had been pushing for the idea, possibly in partnership with Algonquin College’s Perth campus. A motion was put forward on June 24 of this year to study the proposal, but Jim Connell, the director of protective services and chief building ofﬁcial for the town, presented a report at the Aug. 5 committee-of-the-whole recommending that the town “maintain the status quo and leave the provision of (an) electric vehicle charging station service to the private sector to develop.” Fenik asked that the motion be deferred since he needed “some additional information on this,” he said. Connell delved into some of the research he had used to reach his conclusions, including speaking with Dave Donaldson, the then-dean of Algonquin College’s Perth campus, who has since returned to his former duties running Algonquin’s business school at the main Woodroffe campus in Ottawa. The Woodroffe campus has one charging station, home to 50,000 students, compared to Perth’s 400. “The reception I got from Donaldson was that it would be a long time before Algonquin would consider it (for Perth),” said Connell. In fact, during an 18-month period, the Woodroffe station was used about 100 times. “Anecdotally I got that ﬁgure,” said Connell. “I got Dave Donaldson saying he could not re-

member seeing a car parked there,” at the Ottawa charging station. However, Connell’s report found that while the Best Western hotel chain is looking at adding such charging stations as one of the services they offer their guests, when Connell spoke to Pat Wiseman, general manager of the Best Western Plus Parkside Inn and Spa in Perth, “they had done some research on it, but they couldn’t see the business case for it. If there was a business case to be made, (they) would have done so.” Connell also noted that there are probably more than 10,000 electronic vehicles across Canada, and that they tend to be situated in larger urban centres, but Fenik remained undeterred. In other communities that have such charging stations, “they were subject to vandalism and maintenance costs were being incurred.” Also, due to lack of use, “they were a white elephant,” but Connell hastened to add that “I don’t say that they will not be used in the future.” Fenik reiterated that he wanted Perth to set a good example, and Coun. Jim Graff agreed that it was a necessary move to prepare for future changes in the auto industry. Graff told council he was speaking to a friend who ran a hockey rink in Georgetown, Ont., northwest of Toronto. The rink had four such charging stations. “We built this for the future,” Graff’s friend told him, after he had asked how often they were used. “(But) I think that a private company, like Canadian Tire, that is where I think you will see electrical outlets and charging stations,” being located. Connell’s report did single out locations like the Tay Basin parking lot, Last Duel Park’s camp-

Right now, the nearest charging station is at the Mike Fair Chevrolet Buick GMC Cadillac dealership in Smiths Falls. Connell wrote that the cost of a two outlet station, serving two parking spaces, was estimated at between $8,000 and $9,000, or, $4,000 to $4,500 per parking spot. If there was revenue generated from the station, “it could be sufﬁcient to pay for a charging station in ﬁve to seven years.” As of Jan. 1, 2013, the provincial government “has offered a rebate for electric vehicle charging stations. The rebate offered is $1,000 or 50 per cent of the total purchase and installation cost, whichever is lower,” according to Connell’s report.

“Try and get it done in an off month,” said Needham. “(Not) when we have double and triple the trafﬁc volume.” Boldt agreed, wondering “why can’t they do it at night? People in Perth are used to being able to get across town in four minutes.” Mayor John Fenik said he had received “a lot of angry emails” about the problems,

some of them valid, others ill-informed. “People from Perth are courteous drivers,” he said, but this may have also exacerbated the problems at the intersection of Drummond and Harris. He promised that he would be trying to arrange a meeting with the railway company to see if regular rail maintenance can be done at off-peak periods.

COUNCIL MEETING SCHEDULE Council Tuesday, August 26th, 2014 at 7:00 pm

CENTENNIAL COMMEMORATION OF THE GREAT WAR One hundred years ago this month, in August of 1914, Canada followed England into WWI – a war that was originally seen as a bit of a lark but which would eventually cost the lives of more than 60,000 young Canadians and leave nearly 200,000 of them wounded. On Saturday, August 16th, from 1 to 4 pm, the Middleville Museum will present a picture of what the war meant to the small towns in Eastern Ontario – in a very different world than the one we know now. Come and enter that world; we’ll even have a tasting of a (freshbaked) ‘War Cake’ the recipe for which was urged on Canadian households to save on sugar, eggs, butter (and practically everything else). Enjoy! Middleville and District Museum, 2130 Concession Road 6D, Middleville, ON K0G 1K0. For more information, phone (613) 259-0229

OPINION O

The day the laughter died

pinion – Why is it that a man who gave the world so much joy, so much laughter, whose smile and manic goofiness was unable to make himself smile? As it almost always is with suicides, Robin Williams’ apparent suicide on Monday, Aug. 11, in the San Francisco Bay area, leaves behind not only heartache and grief, but too many questions for his family, friends and fans. It doesn’t make sense. Why does the death of Robin Williams hit so hard? Because he could make you laugh. Because he could make you forget about your problems for an hour or so. Because it was a delight to witness so much talent exploding, joke-after-joke raining down in rapid-fire on the audience. In a statement, Williams’ widow, speaking of the loss of her “best friend,” said that “it is our hope (that) the focus will not be on Robin’s death, but on the countless moments of joy and laughter he gave to millions.” His publicist told The Hollywood Reporter that Williams had been battling severe depression. Some of his more dramatic, or subdued roles, proved to be his most personally revealing. It is interesting that he played a psychiatrist in1997’s Good Will Hunting, for which he won a Best Supporting Actor nod. But a bravura performance as a psychiatrist did not, in the end, translate into him getting a handle on his own demons. How many of us rented, or downloaded, Mrs. Doubtfire on Monday night, or slipped in a CD of his old comedy routines, like his 1986 stand-up routine, Live at the Met? Facebook that night had countless odes to the Walt Whitman poem “O Cap-

tain, My Captain,” which Williams helped bring to life in his 1989 movie, Dead Poets’ Society. He was also one of the few comedians who could make something like the Vietnam War funny in Good Morning Vietnam – no easy task. In one of his more serious roles, 1998’s What Dreams May Come, he played a husband who lost his wife to suicide. Another aspect that makes this so sad is that he was part of childhood for so many of us, whether it was playing Steven Spielberg’s version of Peter Pan in Hook (1991) or as the voice of the genie in Disney’s Aladdin (1992). When he died, a part of our childhood died with us. It’s interesting that some of Williams’ comedy idols, like Richard Pryor and Jonathan Winters, also battled depression and mental illness. The list goes on with comedians seeming to attract people who have deep emotional problems for which comedy provides a catharsis, but not necessarily a cure. He spoke to ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer about his alcoholism and, in a chilling foreshadowing, said, “It’s the same voice… you’re standing at a precipice and you look down, there’s a voice and it’s a little quiet voice that goes, ‘Jump.’” But you don’t have to. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem, and you can get help.

The awesome adventure of ‘Outside’

ifestyle - Last week we had a few days’ vacation at a cottage. There was only limited television and no Internet, so you know what that meant? We went “outside”! A lot! The weather was beautiful, too, so there was no excuse to stay inside. There was one day I probably should have retreated from the heat and sun for a little break (which has been kind of a rare thing to say this summer – or even this year, for that matter), but other than that it was absolutely delightful to just exist in the fresh air and sunshine. I absolutely love watching Boychild and Girlchild enjoy the outdoors. It’s something I have lamented about forever because ‘Kids Today’ just don’t go outside like we did in the olden days. When I was a kid we went outside, uphill both ways, until either a) the street lights came on or b) Mom calling us turned into one large bellow

from Dad (and then we knew time was up for real). These days, crowbars, cajoling and threats of “lost privileges” are often required in order to get the short people out the door. Probably it happened, but I honestly don’t remember having to be persuaded to go outside. Usually it was the opposite. “Come in for your bath – your feet are black!” I was lucky enough to grow up not far from a river, so when I wasn’t busy playing a variety of creative pretend games with the throng of girls on my street, I was off with my brother exploring shorelines and swamps, catching frogs, snakes, turtles, tadpoles and fish, or sneaking up on families of groundhogs to take pictures, peering under rocks to try to find crayfish or looking for turtle eggs. We set everything free, although that part didn’t always go smoothly. One time my father insisted my brother and I return a pail of baby

bullheads to the exact spot we found them, which happened to be in a golf course. We snuck back and crept to the river. While I released the fish, little brother captured a ball. I was alerted to this by a woman shrieking at him. We did some running that day. At the cottage, Girlchild spent a lot of time looking for critters and capturing them with a camera. One favourite subject was the school of giant, well-fed sunfish loitering near the deck looking for treats. They were like pets – and even kiss (taste) toes and fingers if you patiently wade amongst them.

Every day at dusk, a pair of brown bullheads came in to feed. We saw a huge, dinosaur-like snapping turtle (and a smaller one), who cruised by and scattered the fish. There was a pretty resident watersnake or two and, consequently, only a smattering of frogs. We also spied a mink, a barred owl, loons, a buck, osprey, heron and many other birds. We got in the canoe at least once a day to paddle through the marshy area at the end of the lake to visit “Turtle Log,” where we hoped to get close to the two or three painted turtles that routinely sunned there. We also checked out the schools of tiny fish that darted through the water plants in the shallows. One day we were treated to a boat ride out into the lake by our neighbouring cottagers and we stopped a few times to swim in the deeper water. As I jumped off the boat I realized how

nice it felt to swim without the water shoes we are so often forced to wear thanks to zebra mussels in our lakes and rivers here. That particular freedom reminded me of childhood, when a sharp rock was probably the biggest threat to our tootsies. Then again, our feet were pretty tough because who wanted to wear shoes in the summer anyway? And remember not having to worry about the sun? OK, granted, my generation should have been worried about the sun and we’re paying for it, but there was a certain joy in not having to get slathered in sunscreen and/or bug spray (for ticks) or wear light colours or layers or water shoes. It was nice to just… go outside. My kids don’t really know any other way, though, so it’s “normal” to them. I wonder what “normal” will look like when they reminisce in 30 years. I sure hope “outside” is still an awesome adventure.

A graveside service for Patrick J. McManus took place on Tuesday, Aug. 5, in Elmwood Cemetery, Perth. In the photo, Bill McKenzie on the left, and Eric Devlin, ready the Legion wreath and flags at the grave site.

Legion members pay tribute to decorated war vet Community - Decorated World War II veteran Patrick J. McManus was put to rest in Elmwood Cemetery here in Perth on Tuesday, Aug. 5, witnessed by a small gathering of close family and Perth Legion members. He had passed away on June 13, in Gibsons, BC. The graveside service for the former Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) bomber pilot was conducted by Fr. Brian McNally of St. John’s Roman Catholic Parish. McManus was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC) for actions taken as the captain of a Halifax bomber during an attack on German shipping off the Norwegian coast in October, 1944. His aircraft was shot down, and

both McManus and his co-pilot were captured by the Germans. His experiences about the attack and time spent as a German prisoner of war are detailed in a book he wrote titled “Her Last Trip”. A second book titled “The Rideau Canal - A Site To See”, was published recently, and will soon be available locally thanks to a generous donation of book copies by the McManus family. The DFC Medal Citation reads: “Flight Lieutenant McManus was first pilot and captain of aircraft and Flying Officer Lyttle was second pilot of an aircraft detailed for an attack on enemy shipping in the Skagerrak. Intense anti-aircraft fire was encountered and the air-

craft was so badly damaged it was forced down onto the sea. From the moment the aircraft was hit till its final plunge into the sea these two officers remained at their posts and by their calm efficiency inspired the other members of the crew with confidence. Although badly cut about the head, Flight Lieutenant McManus continued in a rough sea to look to the safety of the others. In these difficult circumstances these two officers displayed cool courage and devotion to duty and averted disaster and saved the lives of all nine members of their crew.” Not a man to rest on his laurels, McManus went on after the war to found the Rideau Valley Conserva-

tion Authority (RVCA) and served for 13 years as its chair. He also was partly responsible for maintaining the historical integrity of the Rideau Canal by ensuring only one lock station was ever electriﬁed, and he won the Pioneer of Conservation award from the University of Guelph, and Conservation Ontario. The RVCA honoured him with the naming of the Patrick J. McManus Interpretive Centre. A remembrance gathering for McManus is planned for Sunday, Sept. 7, at the Foley Mountain Conservation Area’s Interpretive Centre from 2 to 4 p.m., and parking fees are waived for this event.

Kudos to historians, citizens, politicians of Perth I am a resident of Ottawa and have several times, over the past couple of years, had the pleasure which grows with each visit, of spending time in Perth to attend special events, to shop, and to simply enjoy the experience of being there. I am so impressed with the diligence and foresight it must have taken on the part of historians and politicians and interested citizens in preserving the heritage of this wonderful little town, especially given its small population. Somehow, you have managed to nurture and promote Perth’s history and its heritage.

So many beautiful old structures have stood the test of time and have avoided the builders’ blight. This is admirable. And what is especially amazing to me is that Perth has managed to support and promote a magniﬁcent, diversiﬁed and thriving downtown core. What fun it is to shop in Perth! Really, when you think about it, the number of downtown businesses is extremely large in proportion to the population of the town. So, I can only infer that Perth attracts many people from beyond who go there for the uniqueness and pleasure of shopping in what is fast becoming a bygone experi-

ence in most of our communities. It appears, for the most part, you have managed to keep out big box stores and insensitive businesses. One of my favourite places is Niagara-on-the-Lake (NOTL). I place Perth in that same category and with time and work I am convinced Perth can achieve the same respected prominence. While Perth may not have the huge events of history and geography that NOTL has, it has a strong and formative history in the development of this part of Ontario which I am sure mirrors the experiences of settlements in many other places in Canada.

Most importantly, it appears Perth has the mindset to further enhance its unique identity by continuing to celebrate its history and its beauty. I think that the historical, cultural and tourism potential of Perth is huge if you continue to have the foresight, diligence and discerning oversight to fully recognize nature and promote this potential. This is truly an exciting prospect. Thank you for giving us the gift of history, heritage, culture and beauty. I am a fan. Melodie Levitt, Ottawa

Community – It was an exceptional year for garlic, and for visitors to the 17th annual Perth Lions Garlic Festival. With 84 vendors this year, the largest to date, the weekend provided sunny and warm temperatures to entice visitors to the area. Above, volunteer festival committee members are Gail Sawdon, Sharon Bennett and Sandra Hill who sport this year’s T-shirts and hats for sale.

Family farms to be recognized by local townships at 200th Community - The farm sector’s critical role in the founding and development of our area will be recognized in a program announced recently by Tay Valley and Drummond/North Elmsley townships. The Legacy Farm Program is one of many activities planned to celebrate the area’s 200th anniversary of settlement. Farm properties that have been in the same family for 100 years or more will be acknowledged with the presentation of an attractive property sign and anniversary certificate. In announcing the Legacy Farm Program, Drummond/ North Elmsley Reeve Aubrey Churchill said, “The establishment of our farm sector 200 years ago provided the economic foundation for this area and a community structure that remains the strength of the region to the present day.” Keith Kerr, reeve of Tay Valley Township, which was also founded and developed by the farm community, agreed, “It is appropriate that the agricultural sector be recognized for its major contribution.” Three categories will be used to designate properties: a bronze sign for farms that have been in the family for 100 years, silver for 150 years, and gold for 200 years. To qualify, farms need not be in production nor completely intact. Application forms are also posted on the township websites at www.tayvalleytwp.ca and www.dnetownship.ca. Watch for many more ways to celebrate the area’s 200th anniversary in 2016. Plans are afoot, led by the four participating municipalities: the Town of Perth, Drummond/ North Elmsley Township, Tay Valley Township and the Township of Beckwith.

Perth offers tentative support to seeking Ottawa police coverage costing Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Less than two years after trading the Perth Police Service for the OPP, Perth town council has voted to support a Lanark County motion to seek costing estimates from the Ottawa Police Service (OPS). Deputy Mayor John Gemmell, who sits on the Perth Police Services board (PSB), and is himself a former officer, explained to the committee-of-the-whole on Aug. 5, that the county was seeking the information “to provide a costing for Lanark County. We want

to know if Perth is interested or not.” While the proposal passed with somewhat lukewarm support, Coun. Judy Brown wondered if the same protection to officers’ jobs that was afforded during the OPP transfer would be offered if the switch was made to the Ottawa force. Gemmell admitted that he was unsure. “It’s very preliminary, just to see the numbers,” said Gemmell. “It by no way ties us into this.” Mayor John Fenik, who also sits on county council and the PSB with Gemmell, reiterated

this point. “We are at the beginning of a very long journey,” said Fenik. “I don’t know where it will go.” Coun. Beth Peterkin wondered if the arrival of OPS would mean a wholesale takeover of policing from the OPP in the county, or would it happen on an individual, municipality-bymunicipality basis. Last July, Lanark County Reeve Richard Kidd told this newspaper that it would be done individually, with interested areas having to border on jurisdictions already patrolled by Ottawa. For example, Missis-

sippi Mills, Beckwith and Montague townships border Ottawa, so, if, say, Montague signed up for OPS policing, Drummond/ North Elmsley could sign up, then Perth, in a domino effect – if they so chose. “In order to make a decision, you need all of the information,” said Fenik. “I am not sure if Ottawa is interested in doing this. They have enough to do.” Fenik reiterated that there had to be unanimous consent from all of Lanark County’s municipalities about making this request of Ottawa.

“Moving forward with this will cost the Town of Perth nothing,” he said. With the new police costing formula due to be presented this fall, with implementation likely this coming January and police contracts due to expire, Fenik noted that “the OPP are not the only people in town,” and that they are looking at all options. However, Coun. Ed McPherson took Fenik to task for his assertion that the costing process would not cost the town anything. Having already gone through a similar process in 2012 with the OPP, McPherson said

that “it’s more staff and time. I support your idea…but someone has to do the labour,” said McPherson. CAO John deRosenroll told council that “in order to create a competitive market, we have to start somewhere. It’s a form of leverage.” Coun. Jim Graff, a long-time opponent of bringing the OPP in to police Perth, admitted that he was in a unique position. “I fought to keep the OPP out,” Graff admitted. “Now, I want to do everything…to make the OPP what the Perth police was.”

Perth, Middleville mark 100th anniversary of The Great War’s beginning

Citizens’ Band plays tragic tones of war’s opening act Community – When the boys went marching off to war 100 years ago, the Perth Citizens’ Band was there to provide the music. This past Thursday, Aug. 5, the same soundtrack to what was then called “the war to end all wars,” was brought back to life, as well as artifacts from both the band and the war, during the band’s summer concert series at Stewart Park. The Hall of Remembrance military museum at the Perth branch of the Royal Canadian Legion and the band both had tables set up with relics from the 1914 to 1918 conﬂict.

War cake, oral history at centre of Middleville Museum war exhibit

Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – The Middleville and District Museum will be hosting two participants of an oral history project of the First World War this weekend. Norval Wilson of Hopetown and Gerald Tennant, who lives east of Rosetta, will be on hand at the museum on Saturday, Aug. 16, to answer questions about the war that was to end all wars, with the centenary of the war’s beginning being marked this month. While the two men did not live through the wartime period themselves, they “remember hearing the veterans talking about what happened overseas,” said curator Alice Borrowman. “We want to get these kinds of things recorded.” The organizers of the exhibit’s grand opening, taking place this Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m., decided to dispense with both men giving speeches since “we are ﬁnding the speech aspect is frustrating,” with visitors walking in on the speech halfway through. The exhibit is a revamping of their current First World War collection, and will be on permanent display until 2018 – when the artifacts from the war’s end are taken out of storage, to mark the commemoration of the war’s end. While there will be refreshments, Borrowman admitted that she will not take it personally if there is no line up for seconds for what is being called the ‘war cake.’ During the war, eggs and milk

were rationed, and “you were strongly discouraged from using sugar,” she said. Looking at American recipes from that era – with the U.S. not taking part in the war until 1917 – Borrowman said she was shocked at some of the measurements. “My Lord, there is a lot of sugar in those cakes,” she said. Canadian bakers had to rely, instead, on flour, sugar and fruit. For guests who do partake of the ‘war cake,’ “I am sure they are going to think the war cake is pretty dry.” Because of the major role agriculture played in the area at the time, that determined the part the area played in the war – and who was sent to the western front. “They (Britain) wanted foodstuffs first and people second,” said Borrowman of the demands on Canada at the start of the war. Even when conscription was enacted in 1917, exemptions were made for men who were involved in running “major farm production.” The museum will display exemption papers that were drawn up for a local cheesemaker. While the boys were fighting overseas – with one of the first major battles, the Battle of Mons, taking place on Aug. 23, 1914 – the women were also mobilizing with Women’s Institutions doing everything from fundraising, and knitting socks to making maple sugar which, as thank-you notes from the front attest, were enjoyed greatly by Canadian troops. In fact, the museum discovered

that a prized part of its collection had a stronger connection to the First World War than they had first thought. Looking back over women’s institute meeting minutes, the museum staff discovered that a fundraising quilt was made and auctioned off to raise money for the war in 1918 – and that was the real history behind a quilt in their collection. “We didn’t connect the dots of what it was,” she said of the quilt. But it is items like these that are important for a local museum to have, sharing our local stories. “We have these items because they belong to people in the community,” she said. “We (also) found a Union Jack, 10 feet wide, that used to fly at the Middleville fair grounds,” she said. “We don’t know how far back it goes,” she said but added that it likely pre-dates the Second World War, which was fought under Canada’s “red ensign.” In looking over the collection from the 1914 to 1918 era, she was intrigued to discover how quickly the perception of conflict changed in those four years. “(In 1914) a lot of them considered it to be a bit of a lark,” said Borrowman. “But then they started to see what it was like.” One of the big attractions for signing up, according to a poster Borrowman saw, was the draw of “pay starting immediately.” The museum’s genealogist is also working on looking up the names of men who served in the war, in the whole area from Watson’s Corners to Clayton to Middleville as a special project.

News – Perth town council likes the idea of a local food hub, but is not yet ready to support it financially. Supporters of the proposal approached town council’s committee-of-the-whole on Tuesday, Aug. 5 about getting budgetary support for the proposal – while admitting, at the very start of their presentation that they knew that their request was being made outside of the regular budget process. The idea for a food hub came from a meeting on local food held by Eco-Perth about 18 months ago. They envisioned an openconcept facility, with community shared agriculture, as well as food processing, distribution and storage facilities on site. A survey was done of local, interested parties, and 12 Perth restaurants let their views be known. “All 12 said they were interested in buying more local food,” said Sarah Mackenzie, who sits on the governance board of the Two Rivers Food Hub, the not-for-profit group which would be operating the facility, likely at the Gallipeau Centre, the former Rideau Regional Centre, in Smiths Falls. She anticipates that the hub will house two community kitchens, rentable for the full or half-day, cold storage, distribution, and food processing facilities. They would likely use the lower basement, below ground, which measures about 90 feet by 40 feet. But the survey also found that there were several barriers between the farm gate and the restaurant plate, including: seasonality, cost, consistency of quality, distribution and traceability. “This was an idea whose time had come,” said Mackenzie. On a larger scale, she pointed to the Ontario Food Terminal in Toronto, set up by the provincial government, home to about 100,000-squarefeet of cold storage, so, “there is a model you can go by.” The project is being overseen by the Rideau Community Health Services in Smiths Falls, and could cost between $200,000 and $250,000 in start-up fees, though they anticipate being self-sustaining by year three. While the start-up costs are considerable, Mackenzie warned that not investing in a food hub, municipalities may be missing out on possible culinary cuisine. In fact, one third of the restaurants surveyed believed that having such a hub in the area could help the restaurant market. “It is a good economic tool,” she said, adding that the group is in the midst of drafting a business plan. “There is currently no way of

distributing local food,” said Mackenzie, with individual business owners having to call individual farmers and wholesalers and even supermarkets to see what produce is available, which can be very time consuming, taking up as much as five hours a week that could be better spent elsewhere. “We are not going to be a retail outlet,” explained Mackenzie. Using this hub method, as a restaurant owner, “I can just put my order in,” and carry on. She also pointed out to Coun. Jim Boldt that the food sent to the hub would not be food that otherwise would have gone to a farmers’ market. Coun. Judy Brown wondered if the hub could be tied in to the town’s emergency planning, as food could be set aside in a time of crisis. “This could be a resource in that instance,” said Brown. “I could see this as a great resource.” “No one has really brought that up to us before,” replied Mackenzie. While The Table Community Food Centre has put some of its overflow food into storage at the old prisoner cell at the old Perth Police Service building on Rogers Road, Mackenzie lamented that “no food bank in this region has cold storage that could hold potatoes over the winter,” she said. Mayor John Fenik expressed his support for the concept of “new and innovative ways to bring fresh produce to (the) public.” However, his support did come with a caveat. “You are looking for venture capital for something in Smiths Falls,” Fenik said. “Part of this is for profit,” he added. The issue had been discussed at Lanark County council, and Fenik reiterated the concern expressed there that a business plan was not yet ready, though it was in the composition stage. Also, in his estimation, “it is more of a county thing.” Mackenzie refuted the mayor’s assertion, pointing out that local tourist attractions, like the annual Kilt Run, are supported by the town government, but do benefit private businesses. However, Fenik remained hesitant to support a non-Perth proposal. “If it was a food hub in the Town of Perth, we would pony up some dough,” said Fenik. “But this is regional. (But) I think that the concept is absolutely fantastic.” He also lamented that the proposal was being made outside of the regular budget process. “We allocate a very small amount for non-profits,” Fenik said. “This year, we are all locked in. It (the request) would have to

should be self-sustaining by year three and that “in our business plan, we have not projected any government subsidy,” apart from start-up costs by way of municipal donations. “We would like to spend this winter planning,” rather than hunting for money, she said.

Be Aware Coalition set to battle pornography Community - The White Ribbon Against Pornography campaign is gaining momentum as it continues to fight the pandemic that is pervading our society; ruining lives, destroying families and threatening the welfare of our children. Much has been achieved during the past number of years in terms of bringing this issue to the public’s attention and yet so much more remains to be done. The Be Aware Coalition which has evolved from the White Ribbon Campaign is a community and inter-church organization in Perth whose purpose is to raise awareness of the proliferation of pornography and its devastating effects on our society. In an effort to educate the public on the harms of pornography and provide tools for support the Be Aware Coalition will launch the Be Aware Porn Harms campaign in October, 2014. Efforts to combat the pandemic of pornography have expanded to include other churches, PDCI, St. John High School, YAK, other community organizations and concerned citizens. The purpose of the Be Aware Porn Harms campaign is not to preach morality but rather to promote awareness and safety in recognition that pornography, especially its availability on the internet, poses real and significant dangers to us all. Plans are well underway for the 2014 Be Aware Porn Harms campaign which is part of a national and international movement that has been gaining momentum, and is having an impact on many sectors of society including government, corporate,

entertainment and most importantly, the world of electronic technology. Small successes have been gained and yet we may feel daunted by the almost over-whelming task at hand. There is no doubt that a “porn pandemic” exists; that it has invaded and taken a firm grip on our society and poses a serious threat to the stability of the family unit, the well-being of women and the safety of our young people. International research has shown that the possibility of addiction to pornography increases with prolonged exposure to graphic images readily available on the internet. Electronic technology with all of its benefits also makes available a world of unspeakable horror in the form of extreme pornographic images depicting real life molestation, rape and torture of children, adolescents and women. These images are only a mouse-click away and the effects on those who have been abused in their making and on those who view them can be devastating. Pornography is not a polite word, nor a subject that we wish to talk about; however, if we choose not to address this issue we do so at our peril. Knowledge is power and is especially important for parents and educators to have when communicating with young people. There are disturbing facts that need to be known and tools that are available which are essential in order to safe-guard adolescents as they navigate the electronic world. A number of events will take place in October designed to provide the necessary information for the entire community with special focus on the family and young people. A public presentation will

be held on Oct. 9 in Perth with several high profile experts who will provide the latest information and research on this subject. Resources will be available to take away. The Be Aware Coalition invites all those interested in decency and the well-being of every person to join our efforts in this year’s Be Aware Porn Harms campaign. Every one of us has the power to make a difference, however small, in combatting this issue. No experience is required other than a desire to be a part of a movement that defends the dignity of every person. For information on how to participate in this campaign please call 613-264-0007. “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens File photo can change the world; indeed, it is the only thing The White Ribbon Campaign is hoping that that ever has.” Margaret Mead.

Bookworms delight at Perth edition of the International Writers Festival

Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Entertainment – Get ready to dip your quills into inkwells of creative juice for the first-ever Perth edition of the Ottawa International Writers Festival. Weather forecasters cannot see so far in advance to determine if it will be a “dark and stormy night,” or, day, for that matter, but organizers are certainly hoping that it will be “the best of times,” rather than, “the worst of times,” for the Perth off-shoot of the Ottawa festival, that you will find yourself saying, “It was love at first sight.” That would be better than starting your diary entry for that day, as you sit by candlelight, writing, “This is the saddest story I have ever heard.” And like many first editions, this one is sure to become a collector’s item. (For those bibliophiles of you keeping score, the above quotes, in order of appearance, were opening lines from novels Max Clifford by Edward Bulwer-Lytton (1830), A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens (1859), Catch-22 by Joseph Heller (1961), and The Good Soldier, by Ford Madox Ford (1915). The offshoot of the Ottawa festival comes to Perth next week, and while there are big name writers in attendance, it will also celebrate local writers who could well prove to be your next beach novel this summer. Be sure to bookmark the date Friday, Aug. 22, at 6:30 p.m. since the festival starts at the Crystal

Palace with the inaugural Perth and Area Writing Contest Awards (a free event). The evening’s highlight is a one-on-one interview with author Terry Fallis at the Crystal Palace, at 8:30 p.m. Fallis’ work has a strong connection with Perth, with the made-for-TV movie of his political satire Best Laid Plans being filmed in town last summer. The newest novel by the former staffer to former Prime Minister Jean Chretien, No Relation, was published this past May. Tickets are $20 in advance, $15 for seniors and students, and tickets at the door are $25. Conversations with great writers continue the next day, Saturday, Aug. 23, with a Book Fair, featuring local, self-published authors, at the Crystal Palace from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Writers will also be taking part in writing workshops throughout town, including:

site at a grocery store is really cutting edge.” Dargie said it’s that kind of dedication that could prove essential to saving lives. “As awareness grows in terms of how lifesaving they can be, more community organizations, municipalities and now retail spaces are jumping on board,” he said, noting that the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville is aiming to create a map which showcases the location of all defibrillators in the region. “We aim to make these as popular as fire extinguishers.” He points to an incident earlier this year in Brockville, when a man was saved by use of a defibrillator after he collapsed at a local arena. Dargie said as people become cognizant of how effective the Public Access Defibrillators can be, the St. John Ambulance Brigade is seeing an increase in people getting equipped and trained for their use. Distributing the defibrillators is only a small part of what the St. John Ambulance does in the community. Celebrating its 55th year in 2014, St. John Ambulance Brigade of Leeds, Grenville and Lanark offers a full range of first aid, CPR and even marine medical first responder services. In addition, it has training, therapy dog services, youth services, and car seat safety services.

Kudrinko’s has PAD installed thanks to St. John Ambulance Brigade News - Kudrinko’s Ltd. got a special delivery recently – one that could save lives. A Public Access Defibrillator is now installed at the independent grocery store in Westport, from the St. John Ambulance Brigade of Leeds, Grenville and Lanark. Owner Neil Kudrinko said the machine was an investment into the safety of the store for its customers, which makes sense when considering the sheer number of people who shop at the local business. “We estimate that about 10,000 people per week walk through the store in the summer months,” Kudrinko said. “We’ve had a few instances where someone is in medical distress in the store, so we wanted to be proactive and make this extra commitment to our customers.” The St. John Ambulance Brigade provides community service and training, which improves the health, safety and quality of life for residents of the Brockville, Smiths Falls, and 1000 Islands area. David Dargie, Caring for Our Community Capital Campaign co-ordinator with the local St. John Ambulance Brigade, said that having a defibrillator at a retail space is exceptional. “That’s progressive,” he said. “Having a defibrillator on

Fenik endorses Archambault in local Grit nomination race

Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Perth Mayor John Fenik has endorsed South Frontenac Township management consultant Phillippe Archambault in the race for the LanarkFrontenac federal Liberal nomination. Fenik had been mulling a run for the nomination himself earlier this year, but opted out, running for re-election instead. However, he planted his flag in the Archambault camp at the town council committee-of-the-whole meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 5. “I am supporting Phillippe in his bid to become the next federal Liberal candidate,” Fenik said, before promising to push for help for infrastructure funding from all levels of government. “I know there is a debt we need to tackle… but we need to work in tandem with the federal and provincial governments on small town infrastructure.” Archambault, a Montreal-born MBA-holding management consultant, lives north of Kingston with his young family. He had been living in Britain when the Great Recession hit and, soon after, he convinced his Welsh wife, “let’s move back to Canada and have a better life.” Not only did he know that, economically, Canada offered more opportunity, but linguistically as well. Back in Britain, his daughters were being educated in Welsh as their second language and while “it’s a beautiful language… it wouldn’t help them internationally,” the way a French education back in Canada would. When he settled in eastern Ontario, he became involved in politics, working on the campaigns of former Kingston and the Islands MPP John Gerretsen and, later the area’s new MP, Ted Hsu. After

seeing the inner workings of the campaign office for himself, he thought: “I would like to try it myself.” But first, he had to win over the support of his wife, which he won, albeit a bit tentatively. “She said, ‘You are crazy. But go for it.’” His current job is working as a project manager doing data analysis, having worked in the past for the CCAC (Community Care Access Centre) in Kingston as well as the University Health Network in Toronto. He laid out his concerns and priorities for the coming 2015 race. “As a Canadian, I see where the federal government should support the provinces,” he said. “We should all work together for the greater good. We should all try to solve the problems together.” Like former provincial candidate Bill MacDonald before him, who travelled the length and breadth of the riding speaking to various municipal councils, he was treading the same path, since “I am keen to learn what are the issues in this riding.” One issue that has already come up repeatedly was affordable housing. “I know it is an issue everywhere,” he said, with health and mental care also being top-of-the-line issues. “There are not many (mental) services between Kingston and Ottawa.” Archambault talked up about the lack of bus services in the county, and recalled being able to work in Paris and live in London, thanks to high speed rail, something he would like to see connect Toronto and Montreal. “Those are the big projects that the government needs to support,” he said.

Community - We know what you’re probably thinking...“Not another educational-family-folk-classical music duo/trio where the performers play oboe, steel-string guitar, Celtic harp, autoharp, ukulele, mandolin, electric bass, bodhran, djembe, banjo, English horn, tin whistle and bagpipes, plus stepdance, dramatize original stories set to music, and do a whole bunch of humourous songs as well as lots of music.” The concert is on at the MERA Schoolhouse, Aug. 24 at 2 p.m. Well, if that’s the case, you’d be wrong, because honestly, this group is different! Versatile musicians whose goal is to bring Celtic-rooted music, song, dance, drama, stories and culture to audiences of all ages, the Rathskallions have a special focus on working with schools and within communities, and have earned kudos for their concerts, workshops and collaborations. If you’re a lover of all types of Celtic Music, join Wendy Moore and Arthur McGregor performing as the Celtic Rathskallions, an Ottawa-based duo who have entertained and impressed Celtic music lovers across Ontario and around the world during their more than 1,200 performances. This concert is presented by MASC from Ottawa, which has received support for the activity from an anonymous donor.

For the sake of animals

Community – It looked like a shipwreck last weekend, as a two-day yard sale took place at the Shipwreck Restaurant in Rideau Ferry to benefit Mel’s Farm, All Animal Rescue, which by all reports, was a “huge success.” People came from all over with their own donations to drop off for the event, then shopped along the shore of Big Rideau to get a bargain of their own. Pictured are some of those early-morning shoppers from Saturday.

Street basketball tournament a great success for Naismith association Laurie Weir

the community has been tremendous with its support in prizes for all levels. There are even two huge trophies for which the men and women’s teams vie. “Did you catch the size of those trophies?” Lee asked. “They’re some of the largest trophies awarded for basketball… there is a real competition for bragging rights.” There are also some great prizes for such friendly competitions as a slam dunk show and a three-point competition. Prizes included tickets for NCAA games provided by Ottawa and Carleton Universities. “The hard work and dedication of our volunteers and the support we received from the Town of Mississippi

Sports – For 22 years, the Naismith 3-on-3 basketball tournament has been gaining momentum as one of the best street ball events in Ontario. This year, there were even more teams registered for the action with 44 entries coming from as far away as Toronto. “We’re thrilled with the turnout this year,” said co-chair Kevin Lee as he watched from the sidelines under the blistering sunshine on Saturday, Aug. 9 as at least a dozen games were running in succession on Bridge Street. From novice to men’s and women’s competitive teams, the tournament has always been touted as a self-monitored street game. “Sportsmanship, leadership, physical activity and enjoying the game for years to come…that’s what James Naismith (the inventor of basketball who happens to be from Almonte) has taught us,” Lee said. This tournament, which is hosted by the Naismith Basketball Association in Almonte, promotes this type of street ball… where the players referee themselves. Sometimes though, scorekeepers have to step in and make a call as a referee. Lee, who co-chairs with president of the association, Kevin Hickey, says

Mills and local businesses cannot be stressed enough,” Lee added. Kevin Bellamy, who spearheads a similar program in Perth called the Perth Tigers Basketball Camp, took a contingent from the area to take part in the action. “This is the second year in a row we’ve had a team from Perth in this tournament,” Bellamy said. “It’s been great.” Winners included: Bank Shot, novice boys; E3M, atom girls; Arnprior Aces, atom boys’ The Hoopers, bantam girls; Jamieson Hood Rats, bantam boys; Carleton Place Supersonics, high school boys; At The Buzzer, women’s open, and the Smiths Falls Bricklayers, men’s open.

Local man cycles from China to Canada in support of education Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

News – Last month, Mark Quattrocchi of the Smiths Falls area decided to continue helping those in rural china learn in a very unique way - by literally raising funds to build a classroom for this September’s classes. On July 7 Quattrocchi got onto his bicycle in Sanya, China where he’d been teaching for two years and began his three-year trip home to Canada. He packed up his belongings from his life teaching kindergarten for the last two years and began cycling what would be 100 kms that day. His goal is simple - to help rural Chinese communities break the cycle of poverty through access to education. “If the children have access to an education that is safe, they will be more likely to stay in school and have more options if they so choose to pursue them in the future,” Quattrocchi wrote in his email. Work to build the new one-room schoolhouse is already underway. Quattrocchi’s goal of $10,000 is to build a second room onto the blockstyle structure. As of the writing of this article, Quattrocchi has raised almost $7,000 of his goal and couldn’t be happier with everyone who has helped him realize this dream so quickly. “To be honest, I never thought the goal would be in the headlights this quickly,” Quattrocchi added via an email interview. “I thank everyone for their kindness. Every little bit helps.” The Canadian charity, Free The Children will receive all the funds to build the new classroom in Guang Ming, China. Since going into China to work with the people in 2002, Free The Children

has learned that more than five million children that are out of school are working in child labour situations to help feed their families. Quattrocchi has learned that the existing school in Guang Ming was deemed unsafe and is too small for the number of children in attendance. He said sometimes the school will hold class outside, but it doesn’t address the long-term problem. “For some children this means walking two hours through the mountains to the neighbouring community where there is enough room for them in the classroom,” Quattrocchi said. The young man has his Bachelor of Education from Trent University, but his passion for education is something he comes by honestly having grown up in a home where education was highly valued. His mother, Dorothy Quattrocchi has recently retired from her education career. Her final post was as the principal at St. Joseph School in Toledo. The Quattrocchi family learned of Mark’s plans last summer, after a year of planning, and have been working with him ever since to share his story and support him through this physically and psychologically challenging experience. “It’s something he feels he needs to do right now,” Dorothy added. “We’re 100 per cent supportive of him.” The family encourages all area residents to join them in supporting Mark by reading his blog diary and sending messages of support via his website (www.oneadventureplease.com). “As he said, he can’t do this alone,” she noted. Quattrocchi traveled 300 km up hill and through incredible heat his first week on the road. After his first week he has now gotten off Hainan Island,

his home for the last two years. Currently, his planned route will take him from China across into Turkey, Iran, Egypt along the coastal countries to South Africa before crossing the water into Argentina and moving up the Americas home. Discovering the good The diversity of these communities and the political landscape they currently reside in means this route isn’t carved in stone. Safety is always on Quattrocchi’s mind as he must find a place to sleep, food to eat and ensure his limited belongings are secure. When asked about his security, Quattrocchi is confident that won’t be an issue. In fact, he plans to record every act of kindness and act of unkindness along his journey as a kind of social study project. “I am an optimist about the behaviour of people,” Quattrocchi then said. “This is what I am trying to show people. That the majority of the world is a good place, full of kind people.” Quattrocchi’s past travels on his motorbike alone to many cities that appear on the nightly news, including Dhaka and Bangladesh have taught him to that the world is full of kind people proud of their home and willing to talk about it. The One Adventure Please trek will likely take Quattrocchi three years to complete, but that’s not to say there won’t be breaks. This October the area traveler will be back on Canadian soil to perform his duties as the best man at his friend’s wedding. After this well deserved rest Quattrocchi will travel back to his last stop on the route and continue on. To learn more please visit the One Adventure Please website (listed above).

Studs win Ryder Cup Staff

Sports - The Thursday morning senior men at the Perth Golf Club have been conducting a Ryder Cup style of competition for the past 11 years. Each year, a committee selects about 20 golfers to form a team designated the

“Studs” and another 20 designated the “Wannabees”. A & B Ford sponsors the event and the two teams battle over two days for bragging rights and to have their names recorded on the Fred Hassler Trophy. This year the Studs were vic-

torious, having won 6 of the 10 doubles matches and 9 of the 19 singles matches (3 ties). Hassler’s daughter Lisa was on hand at the victory luncheon to present the trophy to this year’s winning team.

Bryan Greer is named Perth Jr. B Blue Wings’ new assistant coach, GM Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

Sports – The final piece of the puzzle is in place for the Perth Jr. B Blue Wing franchise, with the appointment of a new assistant coach and general manager. Perth native Bryan Greer, the current president of the Perth Lanark Minor Hockey Association, will be helping the newly installed bench boss, Colin Glenn at the helm. Greer will become the team’s assistant coach and assistant general manager. “I’m pretty excited,” Greer said. “It’s the next step in my coaching career to coach guys of this level. I’m ready to go.” Greer has been involved with the PLMHA for 13 years, the past four on the executive. He says the time commitment won’t be a challenge for him. “It will fill a bit of a void because my son will have graduated from minor hockey,” he said. Greer has been a coach in the minor hockey league all through his son’s career, from novice up through midget. “This is my son’s last year and I have a two-year term as president, so this will be a busy year, but I’m looking forward

Bryan Greer is the Perth Jr. B Blue Wings new assistant coach and general manager. to it.” Last year, the team’s owner Michael McLean asked Greer to step up to help out on the ice with the junior team in a variety of capacities, said Glenn. “We had him out with us a few times last year, and he’s got the same philosophy… work hard, move your butts and good things will happen.”

Greer has a son, 17, and daughter, 14, lives in Perth and works as an insurance broker with McLean Insurance. “I’m looking forward to the challenge,” he said. “And making the next jump up.” The Blue Wings will be opening camp on Aug. 23 and 24 in Smiths Falls. “We’ve heard from about 50 guys who have showed interest in coming out for camp,” Glenn said. “And about 13 returning players. We’re going to be jumping right into practice and going at it hard because after the Labour Day weekend, we’ll be right into the season and except for the Christmas break, there won’t be a break until the end of the season.” Glenn said everyone is “chomping at the bit” to get into the arena. “We’re looking forward to a great season,” Glenn said. “We’re going to be working with an older group of guys this year. Last year, we had a young team of 17-year-olds and this year, we’re looking at a nucleus of 18- and 19-year-olds.” Check out the team as it comes to life at the Smiths Falls arena at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 23 and again on Sunday, Aug. 24 with inter-squad games taking place from 2 to 4 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday.

An Ideal Husband: The more things change, the more they stay the same Arts – A public figure involved in scandal. An influential person implicated in bribery. A bureaucrat using his office for personal advancement. A highly respected man lying to his wife and friends to cover his misdoing. Sound familiar? But no, it’s not Canada’s own political scene. It’s the plot of Oscar Wilde’s play, An Ideal Husband, opening tonight (Aug. 14) at the Studio Theatre. It seems the more things change, the more they stay the same. Except in this case, we are meant to laugh. The theatre darkens; the lights come up on the Chiltern’s opulent dining room, superbly recreated by the talented Reiner Silberhorn. Lord and Lady Chiltern, played by Mark Francis Daley and Krista Duff, are presiding over a gathering of London’s most affluent and respected people. Along with the Chilterns, we find Lord Goring (Lucas Tennant), a congenial, dandified bachelor who is interested in Lord Chiltern’s sister Mabel (Alison Kirkpatrick); the malevolent Lady Cheveley (Meredith Millman) whose mischief nearly brings the Chiltern marriage tumbling down; two typically silly Victorian ladies, Mrs. Marchment (Joanna McCauley) and Mrs. Basildon (Carell Allen); plus a querulous society matron (Norma Cummings). And all is kept running smoothly by the two indispensable butlers, Phipps and Mason (Paul Joyce and Alfred von Mirbach). The party is congenial until Lady Cheveley drops the bombshell to Lord Chiltern that she has a letter proving that Photo courtesy of Penny Silberhorn some years ago, he had made his fortune illicitly selling cabinet secrets on the The cast of the Studio Theatre in Perth’s latest production of Oscar Wilde’s play, An Ideal Husband: from left, building of the Suez Canal. This, she will Norma Cummings, Krista Duff, Lucas Tennant, Alison Kirkpatrick and Meredith Millman. It runs Aug. 14, 15, disclose unless he supports her fraudu- 16, 17, 21, 22, 23 and 24.

lent scheme to build a canal in Argentina. He agrees, but when he tells Lady Chiltern of his decision, she is mortified. An “ideal husband” must be counted on to keep his word. At that point, whole Victorian fabric of proper society begins to unravel. And just to complicate matters, Lord Cavershan, Lord Goring’s father (Brian Tannenbaum) issues the demand that his son marry the perfidious Lady Cheveley. How Lord Chiltern resolves the problem and remains the “ideal husband”, you will have to see for yourself. (Which he does, by the way, with much hilarity as only Wilde in the hands of a veteran director like David Parry can create.) You’ll miss the laugh of the season if you don’t see this classic of the theatre. An Ideal Husband opens at the Studio Theatre, 63 Gore Street East in Perth, on Thursday, Aug. 14 for eight performances: Aug. 14, 15, 16, 21, 22 and 23 at 8 p.m., and Aug. 17 and 24 at 2 p.m. Tickets are available in person at The Book Nook, 60 Gore Street E. for $22, cash only. Tickets can also be ordered at Shadowfax, 67 Foster St., Perth, by phone, (613-267-6817 / 1-800-518-2729), or online (shadowfax.on.ca ); and at Tickets Please (39 Foster St., Perth, 613-4856434 or online at ticketsplease.ca. A convenience fee applies to these latter two outlets. Tickets are $24 at the door, and students with ID pay just $10 at the door on show night.

Report what you see in the water with Citizen Water Watch Community – Noticing green algal blooms or excessive aquatic plant growth in your lakes or rivers? You can now easily report it! The Citizen Water Watch website (www.citizenwaterwatch.ca) allows recreational water users to report any observations of green algal blooms or excessive aquatic plant growth to a central data base. These observations will help to better monitor green algae and aquatic plant growth in eastern Ontario lakes and rivers. Whether you are an angler, boater, paddler, swimmer or any water en-

thusiast, we are asking you to report what you are seeing on the water that you use. Information about when, where and how often algal blooms and excessive aquatic plant growth are occurring will help develop future research on the causes of green algal blooms and excessive aquatic plant growth in local lakes and rivers. This information will also help us gain a greater understanding about the algae and aquatic plant growth in the waters that we cherish. The ﬁrst phase of the Citizen Water Watch website has been created as a

part of The People, Aquatic Plants and Healthy Lakes: Finding the Balance in Eastern Ontario’s Lake Country Project. This project, being done by a collaborative group consisting of Friends of the Tay Watershed, Carleton University, Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority and Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, is being funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation. Algae and aquatic plants are a part of a healthy aquatic ecosystem but in excess they can put stress on other organisms in our lakes and rivers.

Ninja Turtles film falls short of original MOVIE: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles STARRING: Megan Fox, Will Arnet, William Fichtner, Tohoru Masamune, Pete Ploszek, Johnny Knoxville, Alan Ritchson, Noel Fisher, Jeremy Howard and Tony Shalhoub DIRECTOR: Jonathon Liebesman RATING: PG Arts – Could someone please tell me why Michael Bay is determined to ruin my childhood? I was so excited when I heard the Turtles were coming back to the big screen. Then I heard who was making it. New York is under siege. The Foot Clan is behind a crime wave that has the city’s police helpless, and its citizens cowering in fear. It seems no one will stand against The Foot, and their leader Shredder (Tohoru Masamune). That is until four vigilantes rise from the shadows to face The Foot. Luckily reporter April O’Neil (Megan Fox) is there to capture the vigilantes on ﬁlm. Unfortunately, the Turtles aren’t keen on being caught on camera. The Turtles catch April and wipe her camera, but after getting up close and personal with four six-foot talking turtles April is left with more questions than answers. No one believes April when

My Take

MARK HASKINS

she claims there are ninja turtles fighting The Foot. Undaunted, April continues to look for answers, and soon finds herself in the sewers. She meets Leonardo (Johnny Knoxville), Raphael (Alan Ritchson), Michelangelo (Noel Fisher), Donatello (Jeremy Howard) and their master Splinter (Tony Shalhoub). Together they uncover The Foot’s plan to destroy the city, and decide it’s time to stop hiding, and time to become heroes. The good news is Michael Bay didn’t actually direct this film. The bad news is his fingerprints are all over it. The special effects are outstanding, the fight scenes are dazzling, and the action is mind bending. Of course much of the film doesn’t make sense, and the story is rushed as they commit the cardinal sin of telling the audience instead of showing the audience. So what didn’t make sense? Let’s start with it’s summer time

in New York, but winter at the villain’s lair in the mountains surrounding New York. Did I mention there are mountains surrounding New York? We also have Shredder’s Iron Man suit. Shredder is already a dangerous and cool villain. The suit doesn’t make him more dangerous and cool, it makes him lame. There’s more, but I only have so much room. The cast is okay. I don’t buy Tony Shalhoub as the voice of splinter, but Meagan Fox is a decent April O’Neil. Will Arnet’s character seems to be there just to drive April around. I like William Fichtner as Eric Sacks, and Tohoru Masamune could have been a great Shredder if they hadn’t gone with the CGI battle suit. The Turtles themselves are a team effort consisting of motion capture performers, voice actors, and a lot of CGI. All in all the Turtles look and sound great, it’s just too bad they are treated like special effects instead of fully ﬂeshed out characters. The ﬁrst Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie is still the best Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of this newspaper.

Many local recreational water users have noted an increase in algae and aquatic plant growth, despite little observed change in nutrient concentrations which are often the cause of algal blooms and excessive aquatic plant growth. Reporting observations of algae and aquatic plants will help us better understand the excessive plant growth and ﬁnd ways to improve aquatic environments. To report a sighting go to www.citizenwaterwatch.ca, create an account and click on the “Report a Sighting” tab, ﬁll out the form and hit submit.

Knowing the name of the waterbody and nearest town where your observation took place as well as a picture will be helpful information to include.

Rob passed away on Sunday, August 10 at the age of sixty-eight, at his home on Otty Lake after a brief illness. He will be greatly missed by his wife of forty-four years, Sue, his two children, Beth (Heiko) and Will (Cat), as well as his three grandsons, Colin, Tom and Andrew. He left with his loving family close by and his trusty dogs, Emma and Sophie, at his side. Rob was born in Montreal and moved to Perth via Toronto in 1985, having turned away from the city for the country life he had always dreamed of. It was the job of Manager of Shaw’s of Perth that first brought him to the area, which was followed by nearly ten years in financial planning, before retiring in 2005. Rob enjoyed every moment of his retirement. An avid outdoorsman, he loved trout fishing, partridge hunting, canoe tripping, kayaking and snowshoeing. He has camped and kayaked in Georgian Bay with Sue, paddled some of Canada’s remote and wild rivers with Beth and Will, and fished in Northern Quebec with his friends. In recent years, Rob delighted in sharing his passion for fishing with his eager and admiring grandsons. Throughout his adult life, Rob took pleasure in restoring and repurposing antiques, such as turning windows into mirrors and wagon wheel hubs into lamps. Just last year, he completely transformed a neglected 1950s era wooden boat into a working masterpiece. Rob was the essence of resourcefulness, making the old new again, repairing almost anything and finding ingenious solutions to everyday problems. His core values of integrity, truthfulness and reliability have been passed along to his children and grandchildren and the greatest impression he could leave, was the courage and grace he exhibited during his devastating illness. A private celebration of Rob’s life will be held at a future date. In the meantime, those wishing to salute Rob are asked to raise a glass of fine single malt scotch in his honour. Reflecting his lifelong love of the outdoors, donations to the Canadian Wildlife Federation or the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS), would be appreciated.

McMULLEN, Loretta August 13, 1999. In memory of a loving wife and mother. We watched you suffer, We heard you sigh, But all we could do, Was just stand by When the time came, We suffered too, For you never deserved, What you went through. God took your hand, And we had to part, Eased your pain, But broke our hearts, You left beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide, And although we can’t see you, You are always by our side. Sadly missed Husband Elmer and daughters

Professor Emeritus November 15, 1929 - August 7, 2014 Peter Sutterlin, 84, passed away softly at the Hilltop Manor Nursing Home in Merrickville, Ontario. Peter leaves his wife of 60 years, Ann (Woodley) Sutterlin; his daughter Linda SutterlinDuguid (Terry); son Paul Sutterlin (Lorrie); grandchildren Molly, Nora, Holly and Phillip; twin sister Inge Kolberg and brother Walter Sutterlin; extended family and many close friends. Born in Hamburg, Germany to Helen and Walter Sutterlin, Peter was raised in Galt (Cambridge), Ontario.

Peter’s talent for research and teaching led him to the University of Western Ontario, CANMET (Ottawa) and later to Wichita State University where he taught for 16 years and became Director of General Education. Anyone who spent time with Peter knows how important music was to him throughout his life. He was an appreciative listener and enthusiastic bass singer with many vocal groups, performing everything from classical to barbershop, and everywhere from local nursing homes to Carnegie Hall. After retirement, Peter shared his leadership abilities with his community through active participation in the Heritage Merrickville Foundation and the Merrickville District Community Health Centre. Peter will be best remembered as a devoted husband, father, Opa, brother, mentor and friend. His family wishes to thank the staff of Hilltop Manor for their compassionate care, and to express their heartfelt gratitude to all the special friends who graciously offered help and support in so many ways throughout Peter’s illness.

Loving and devoted mother of Kent Jefferys (Kate), Jay Jefferys (Mary) and Jane Kendall (Lionel). Cherished grandmother of Jessica, Jennifer, Evan, Alex, Amy, Holly and Kate. Time speeds on, one year has passed Since death its gloom, its shadow cast Within our home where all seemed bright, And took from us a shining light. We miss that light, and ever will, Her vacant place there’s none to fill. Down here we mourn, but not in vain, For up in Heaven we will meet again. Dearly loved and never forgotten by all her family

GILLIGAN, Garnet Grant July 8, 1942 - August 13, 2013 Those special memories of you Will always bring a smile. If only we could have you back, If only for a while. Then we could sit and talk again, Just like we used to do. You always meant so very much, And always will do too. The fact that you’re no longer here, Will always cause us pain. But you’re forever in our hearts, Until we meet again. Love: Kathy, Kerri, Geoff and families

We have you in our hearts and we miss you so, so much. Love always, your sons Chris (Sonja) & Bruce (Anne), grand-sons Tom, Nathan, Tijan, and Justin; grand-daughters Christie-Dawn (Cam), and Tijana, and great-grandchildren Emilea, Tiara and Kiella

MILLAR, SCOTT JOHN – In memory of Scott John Millar December 17, 1969 - August 16, 2006 It has been eight very long years without you. We look at your pictures in the frames, memories are all we have now. Memories are still so bitter-sweet. God knows how much we miss you. God knows I got mad at you for dying. You promised you would always be there to protect us. Forgive me for being mad. It was that even when life wasn’t perfect, I knew as long as we were together, things would always turn out great. I am so sorry that you died! You deserved to be a Daddy, longer than only two years. I am so sorry that you never got a chance to fulfill your promise. Someone once told me that, you and I complimented each other in everything we did. We were meant to be! I miss that! Thank you for being who you were and sharing your everydays with us. For paying attention to what makes us happy. For knowing no gestures were ever too small. I often think, what would we be doing today! I wish heaven wasn’t so far away, we could come and visit each and everyday. You’re my best friend forever, without a doubt! I love you not because you were perfect…but because you were perfect for me, my perfect! Our son has blonde hair, good sense of humour, great heart, great friend to have and getting taller everyday. He gets that from you! We miss you Scott and Daddy! We try not to cry because it’s over, but smile because you happened. Love never forgets, Always our Love, Sharon and Wyatt XXXOOO XXXOOO

WarWick, Brian Stafford - August 18 2013. In loving memory of a dear husband, father and grandfather. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone.

In life we loved you and in death we love you still. In our hearts you hold a place no one could ever fill. Forever missed and loved. Heather, Pam, Chayce, Brad, Crystal, Kori, Trai and William

TV’s Survivorman joins Nature Canada in contest to get Canadians outdoors Lifestyle – In honour of our upcoming 75th anniversary this September, Nature Canada – Canada’s oldest nature conservation charity – is launching our 75th anniversary photo contest to encourage Canadians to take advantage of the summer months, get outdoors and connect with nature. Until Aug. 31, amateur photographers and nature enthusiasts can enter their best nature photos for a chance to win a variety of prizes ranging from an unlimited National Parks season pass to Vancouver Aquarium tickets to bungee jumping. The grand prize is an impressive multi-day hike from Copper Cayuse Outfitters. A panel of celebrities including Olympian Michael Tayler, award-winning photographer Michelle Valberg and Les Stroud, better known as TV’s Survivorman, have generously agreed to judge the contest.

The contest is a simple way for youth and families to explore nature whether nearby in their NatureHood, at their cottage or during their summer vacation. “As Canadians get outdoors and start exploring, Nature Canada thinks people will inevitably start to connect with nature on a deeply personal level. We think this is the first step to ensuring the health and well-being of both nature and, frankly, of ourselves too,” said Jodi Joy, director of development for Nature Canada. Contest submissions can be made through Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, email, and regular mail. For details on how to submit and for the contest’s rules and regulations, please visit our website: naturecanada. ca. Submitted by Nature Canada.
