RIDING THE WAVE AT THE RIDEAU REGATTA
Timmy McNamee, of Len’s Cove Marina in Portland, demonstrates wakesurfing on the water at the Rideau Regatta this past weekend. McNamee’s moves were not the only action on the water this weekend, with hydroplanes from as far away as Australia shooting out over the water. For more on the regatta, and its first-ever visit to Perth, please see pages P18 and 19.
News – Area MPP Randy Hillier is one of the leaders of a push to get provincial Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak to face a leadership review in London, Ont. next month. While Hudak faced a mandatory leadership review after losing the 2011 provincial election, Hillier, along with NewmarketAurora MPP Frank Klees, is urging the party to amend its constitution to make Hudak once again face party faithful at a policy convention after it took only one of five seats in a series of by-elections held on Thursday, Aug. 1. The Tories took only the Toronto riding of Etobicoke-Lakeshore, their first win in the city since 1999. They had been polling well in London West and Ottawa South, but those seats were taken by the New Democratic Party and the Liberals respectively. Scarborough-Guildwood stayed Liberal, while WindsorTecumseh shifted from the Liberals to the NDP. Hillier was unavailable for comment as he was on a fishing vacation last week, and attending the Association of Municipalities of Ontario conference in Ottawa earlier this week. But the Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington MPP did tell the Toronto Star earlier this month that a leadership review was necessary and that “to suppress peoples’ opinions only amplifies them,” he said on Thursday, Aug. 8. Party loyalist Mark Hardwick, along with his friend Brett Bell, helped set up a web site called lettimlead.ca, designed to show support for Hudak’s leadership. Asked if he wished that Hillier and Klees had kept their dissatisfaction with Hudak’s leadership an internal matter, Hardwick would only say that “I don’t have an opinion on that. I know Mr. Hillier. I have had him down in my riding,” in Welland, Ont., he said during a telephone interview from his home. The former provincial riding asso-

ciation president, who helped the Tories with their social media strategy in the 2011 vote as a volunteer, added that “I can’t comment on what Mr. Klees and Mr. Hillier want to do.” As for the leadership review itself, “we’re not about getting signatures or stopping any leadership review. This is not about fighting other people’s views. It is about fighting the enemy, which is the Liberals. The support (for Hudak) is ramping up, as we expected it would. There are a lot of people who feel that Tim should be the next premier. We need to be unified as a party.” Hudak is the MPP for Niagara West-Glanbrook, which borders Welland, but Hardwick stressed that the pro-Hudak web site was not a creature of the party. “This is a grassroots effort… this has nothing to do with the leader’s office,” said Hardwick. As for the party’s poor showing on Aug. 1, when as many as three seats were likely within their grasp, Hardwick was optimistic about the party’s performance in the summer elections. “I am happy with the seat that got picked up, (taking) a safe seat from the Liberals,” he said of the win by Toronto’s Deputy Mayor Doug Holyday. “We are growing. This (leadership review) is just stopping us from growing more.”

UCDSB committed to student learning by providing school supplies without fees
The Frednecks live in Perth Aug. 31 Arts – Country and rockabilly musician Freddy Dixon and his band, jokingly referred to as The Frednecks, will appear Saturday, Aug. 31 at the Golden Arrow in Perth from 9 p.m. to midnight. The Frednecks, consisting of drummer Terry Kitmer, guitarist Brad Scott, bassist Freddy Ducharme and keyboardist Jack Denovan, will be serving up country and old time rock n’ roll. “When I lived in Perth, I used to hang out at what used to be Tinkers, now the Golden Arrow Pub,” recalled Dixon. “It was my first watering hole. Lots of good times and good music.” “It’s here that I met my good friend Dean Batstone,” he continued. “Dean is a rising star, now playing the US coast to coast.” Dixon, an Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame Entertainer of the Year, added, “We’ll rock the house. The Frednecks are a hot band and there will be some surprise guests.” For information, call 613-267-4500 or visit www.goldenarrowpub.com.
opment and training costs. Additional fees may be charged to a student if a school community wishes to offer programming and materials “beyond what is necessary to meet the learning expectations of a particular grade or course.” For instance, if a stu-
dent is building a bench in woodworking class, and wants to use a specialized wood not supplied in the course, the student may be charged for it. However, for those students who wish to build the same bench as part of the curriculum expectations, the board must provide necessary materials to ensure they can

complete the project. Examples of when fees can be charged include when an activity, material, course or program is: • Not required as part of the regular day school program; • Voluntary, and alternatives are offered;
• Non-essential or extracurricular in nature and is not required for graduation by an individual student; or • A voluntary upgrade or substitute of a more costly material to the material provided for course purposes. Submitted by the Upper Canada District School Board.

News – Parents frantically shopping for pens, pencils, binders, back-to-school clothing and other supplies as September approaches are reminded that the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) protects them from unwarranted school fees. Under terms of Policy 452, passed in March 2012, the board guarantees that all students have the right to attend school without payment of fees for essential learning materials, supplies, activities and textbooks. The policy applies to essential supplies required to meet the terms of the curriculum, and not materials for enhanced programs or optional programs and activities. “The board passed the policy last year because we believe that all our students – whatever their economic circumstances – have the right to attend school without their families having to worry about paying for materials essential to their learning,” said UCDSB director of education, David K. Thomas, on Aug. 13. “Returning to school is a cause for celebration. It should not be a financial burden on any family,” he added. This means the board will provide items such as textbooks, workbooks, and science supplies, offering parents some financial relief at a time that for many is already straining their pocketbooks, said Thomas. Materials used to supplement a student’s educational experience and that are not required under the core curriculum – such as expenses for yearbooks, graduation gowns, optional field trips not curricular in nature, school dances, and student recognition programs – may be subject to fees. Under the policy, schools are prohibited from charging: • Registration or administrative fees for regular day school programming; • Fees for guest speakers or presentations where material presented is a mandatory element of the subject or course; • Extra charges for learning materials necessary for completion of the curriculum such as science supplies, lab material kits and safety goggles; and • Fees for learning materials funded through the allocated budget of a school board and which are necessary to meet learning expectations such as computers, workbooks, textbooks, and staff devel-

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County 40th anniversary dinner Sept. 14 to others in their age group. Currently, more than 400 children are involved in the agency’s programs. At a recent celebration, Little Brother Jason spoke about the impact his Big Brother has had on his life. “In the time Randy and I have been paired I’ve dramatically changed for the better in so many ways. For one, he’s definitely made me think about things more,” he said. “My self esteem and social life have had a huge boost and I’ve learned so many life lessons from the experiences with Randy. I know now that there is much more to life that I thought there was before meeting him.” To celebrate this special anniversary the agency is planning an anniversary dinner on Sept. 14 at the Smiths Falls Civitan Club. There will be special pre-
sentations, live music and a chance for the community to pause and celebrate the mentoring that has happened and continues to happen throughout the county. Tickets are $25 per person and must be purchased in advance through the office. Special guest Paul Frazer will be in attendance, speaking about the power of the Big Brothers Big Sisters story. Paul is a Perth area speaker, whose programs revolve around world class excellence. He believes that when you learn more about yourself and your team you can create greater success and a greater story or legend as individuals and as an organization. Also speaking at this event is a Little Sister from the agency who recently received a $40,000 scholarship from CIBC

Annual Merrickville Artists’ Guild Studio Tour Sept. 28, 29 and Oct. 5, 6 Arts – Artists in the quaint village of Merrickville know that when the leaves begin to turn, the time has arrived to throw open their doors to the public during the annual Merrickville Artists’ Guild Studio Tour. This year it is set for Saturday, Sept. 28 and Sunday, Sept. 29 and again the next weekend Saturday, Oct. 5 and Sunday, Oct. 6. It will be held from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. both weekends. For 29 years, this free self-guided tour has become a tradition welcomed by the artists, while art lovers from eastern Ontario, western Quebec and beyond mark their calendars in anticipation. Using a full colour glossy brochure (available in most stores and studios in the village), visitors of all ages are able to create their own tour
at their own pace, based on their own interests. All participating studios are designated by distinctive signage. The picturesque village of Merrickville and its surrounding countryside form the backdrop for the tour. Its heritage buildings, quaint shops, 19th century charm and rural vistas have attracted artists and craftspeople of national and international renown to the area for decades. In all, there are 22 artists and craftspersons, including painters, mixed media artists, sculptors, potters, a photographer, a glass blower, a gourd artist, a fine press printer, textile artists, an iron founder and a maker of rustic furniture – something for everyone. What better way to spend a weekend than talking to
the artists and craftspeople of Merrickville about their work? Enjoy exploring their studios and galleries and leave with an original. New artists this year: • Jayne Couch (Thou Art
Gallery & Studio), exhibiting gallery quality sketches and oil paintings, lifestyle ‘realist’ portraits, in her converted Methodist church in nearby Burritts Rapids. • Mike Venables offers

Classic Theatre Festival veterans play romantic couple in marriage comedy Arts – Toronto’s Scott Clarkson and Rachel Jones have appeared in numerous Classic Theatre Festival productions, but until this summer, they were never in the same play. That’s changed with their starring roles in the comedy The Marriage-Go-Round, currently playing in Perth until Sept. 1 at the Full Circle Theatre at 26 Craig Street. It’s the kind of play that has women completely relating to one of the characters and men with the other, with plenty of couples elbowing each other during moments of recognition. The veteran actors play the husband and wife at the heart of the story, college professors who, set up on separate sides of the stage, provide lectures on a topic that was not publicly discussed very much in the 1950s, when all appeared to be well behind America’s picket white fences. Their discussions on the state of marriage, monogamy, and infidelity are frank and often funny, and they frequently go in and out of lecture mode as they enter the real story of their lives, one that often draws verbal comments, oohs and ahs from audience members, some of whom have actually talked back to the characters on stage given how realistic the story becomes. Reflecting on the role of Content Delville, Jones says “getting to play a strong, intelligent and funny woman is wonderful. Last year I played Mary in Mary,
Mary, a different character who also had those same characteristics. What’s interesting about this play is it’s 1958, and so her reactions to some of the marriage strains is perhaps different than how a modern woman might react. But you also see her progression from her trying to keep everything pleasant and smoothing things over to the anxiety
she experiences.” Jones especially loves a scene in which she confronts the young Swedish bombshell who wants to borrow her husband in order to father the perfect child, one that would combine their high IQs with the young woman’s perfect physical form. As the Dean of Women, she is used to calling young girls into her office to lay
down the law, but not when it involves someone tempting her husband. Playing her husband is an actor who for the past two years starred in two-character plays, both as the man who ages over 35 years in a marriage in The Fourposter and as a lawyer dealing with divorce in Two for the Seesaw. Scott Clarkson says the role of professor Paul Delville is a very different one for him. “I often look at who originated the roles, and in this case, it was Claudette Colbert and Charles Boyer, and I loved a lot of his work in the past. So part of the excitement is stepping into his shoes and trying to recreate or imagine something that someone
you admire has already done,” he said. “Having some French background myself, I have channeled one of my uncles in developing the role as well.” There are moments of pure panic because “Paul is a moral character who prides himself on being the Rock of Gibraltar, but he is also a man who is faced with great beauty and youth that wants to be with him, so there is a big conflict of being the upstanding moral citizen and being the man of understandably baser instinct. When those two worlds collide, it gets a little messy, but also very funny,” he said. Playwright Leslie Stevens was perhaps inspired to write The Marriage-Go-Round in
partial answer to what would happen if someone like Albert Einstein and Marilyn Monroe got together and had a baby. The writing has a timeless quality to it, and as JACK-FM radio host Wayne Cavanagh commented, “The strength of Leslie Stevens’ writing and his view of relationships remain strong and relevant even 55 years after the play’s first opening. If you only have one night out this summer I strongly recommend you take the time to see this laugh-out-loud play.” The Marriage-Go-Round runs until Sept. 1, and tickets are available online at www.classictheatre.ca, 1-877-283-1283, or at Tickets Please, 398 Foster Street.

Children truly are the gift that keeps on giving—in love, happiness, satisfaction and spending your money to support and nurture them. In Canada, the cost of raising a child to age 18 is $243,6601! And then off go your youngsters for expensive years in college or university. With a bit of financial family planning, you can take advantage of tax savings and other programs that will reduce your child-raising costs and provide additional financial support when you need it. Your planning starts here: Take full advantage of tax deductions, credits and benefits. There are certain eligibility conditions that must be met but look carefully at these tax-reduction and income opportunities: • Child care expense deduction for an eligible child care provider, day nursery school, day-care centre, or an educational institution that provides child care services. For a child not claiming the disability tax credit, the maximum child care expense amount is $7,000 for each child under seven at the end of the year. • Eligible dependent tax credit can be claimed by an
unmarried person not living in a common-law partnership and a person who is married or in a common-law partnership but not supported by their partner. The amount of the credit is reduced by income earned by the dependent. • Children’s fitness and arts tax credits allow you to claim up to $500 per child for prescribed programs of physical activity and artistic, cultural, recreational or developmental activity. • Canada child tax benefit which is a non-taxable amount paid monthly to eligible families to offset the costs of raising children under 18. You must apply for this benefit. • Universal child benefit of a taxable $100 a month to families for each child under six. You must apply for this benefit unless you already receive the Canada child benefit. • Maternal/paternal Employment Insurance (EI) benefits when on maternity/ parental leave of approximately 55% of average insurable weekly earnings to a yearly maximum of $47,400. You
can apply for this benefit before giving birth and actually start receiving it during the eighth week before your due date. If you are adopting, benefits are paid starting from the date the child is placed with you. The benefit spans 52 weeks but can be divided between both parents for a maximum of 35 weeks. Raising children is wonderful but can also be expensive. To do so as economically as possible and to realize all your other financial dreams, talk to your professional advisor. 1 The Real Cost of Raising Kids by Camilla Cornel, moneysense.ca 2011 This column, written and published by Investors Group Financial Services Inc.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR
Conservatives must reconsider cuts to social housing DEAR EDITOR: When the job market is still recovering, we should be working to ensure that more Canadians have a roof over their head. Yet the Conservative government is moving in the complete opposite direction: they are reducing federal support for affordable housing for the most vulnerable Canadians. The instability in people’s lives that comes from homelessness has a tremendous cost on the rest of society. It makes it harder to rejoin the labour force, and causes declines in physical and mental health. For taxpayers, the costs of emergency services and shelters for the homeless are more expensive than providing them a place to live. An estimated 150,000 to 300,000 Canadians are homeless, and many more can’t afford housing with enough bedrooms for their family. It’s a major problem that strikes at the core of what our country stands for.
Yet the Conservative government is phasing out federal support for affordable housing in co-operatives that put the cost of housing within reach of low-income Canadians. In Ontario alone, 4,530 households go to bed each night wondering where they will live when the government cuts off funding. That’s not right. The federal government should be at the table with cities, provinces, churches and others who are trying to address the challenge of homelessness. Investing in affordable housing will help the most at-risk Canadians live healthy lives and contribute to the economy. Everyone else gets it. Let’s hope the Conservatives will too. Mauril Belanger, MP Liberal Party of Canada
COMMENTARY An excuse to get your ‘art’ on Editorials – Summer is nearly over and will soon give way to fall, but there is still plenty to experience in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville and the Ottawa Valley. When the summer festivals are long gone and the agricultural fairs have been packed up, local artists, artisans and craftspersons will open their doors for popular studio tour events. First up is the annual Discovery Tour of North Gower and Kars Sept. 14 and 15. The 17th year for this event, it features the works of 34 artists at 13 stops all within an eight-kilometre radius of North Gower. Artists ranging from jewelry makers, potters, painters and sculptors will be present, or tour an alpaca farm or pumpkin patch. A few weekends later, the Merrickville Artists’ Guild will host its popular studio tour in the village, Sept. 28, 29 and again on Oct. 5 and 6. This comprehensive tour showcasing local artists and artisans has been going strong for 29 years and this year, 22 participants are on the schedule, including: a gourd artist, photographer, fine press printer, just to name a few. There’s also the Crown and Pumpkin Studio Tour to check out on Thanksgiving weekend where Mississippi Mills and area artists will open their studios to visitors. These tours are a wonderful way to fully explore the talents of those right in our own backyard and best of all, many of the events are free of charge, so there’s no excuse.
Year gave some hope during the Dirty Thirties Lifestyle – It seemed to me we lived in a constant state of anxiousness. Mother and Father so often wore worried looks that sent a pall over the entire household. The egg money in the blue sugar bowl never seemed to be enough to cover our needs. Frivolity, like a few slices of bologna from Briscoe’s General Store, or a package of Cracker Jacks after our Saturday peddling of Mother’s wares in Renfrew, was out of the question. And then, one summer, everything changed. It was almost like someone had lifted a roller blind in a darkened room, letting in sunshine. And it didn’t happen suddenly, but it came as the summer wore on. The season started out like any other. Father planted the fields, Mother raised hens from chickens, packets of seeds arrived in the mail and were planted. But that year, as spring rolled into summer, I knew in my heart, that year things were going to be different. For one thing, there were no frosty days or nights to kill what had been planted. But one season blended into the other, as if by some magic plan, there
was nothing to halt the natural growth in the fields and in the ample garden. And that year there were no heavy rains to flood the seedlings, or leave big pools of water in the low-lying fields. The rain came as often as was needed. Soft wonderful rain, and often, as if led by some outside hand, during the warm nights, so that Father was able to spend the days tending to the crops. The rain barrels, empty at night, sitting at the corners of the back of the old log house, would be filled in the mornings from the runoff of the eaves as we slept in our beds. Wonderful soft rainwater which Mother put to good use. And that year there was no drought. Gone were the cracks in the soil at our back stoop that in other years we saw after weeks of a dry spell; parched ground, crumbling under our bare feet, and burning the soles. That year, when everything seemed to change, the ground was moist to the touch. And I would see Father walk the back fields. After the morning chores, and often after supper, he would go over to the West Hill, cross the Bonnechere and look...just look...and he would come Vice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount mmount@perfprint.ca 613-283-3182, ext. 104

back to the house, and I could see a spring in his step that in other years was so often missing. Sometimes I would go with him. Father was not one to talk idly, so we would walk in silence. And I would watch him stop at the alfalfa field, and pull at a few stacks, and rub them between the palms of his hands. The buckwheat field, the last to be planted, was already starting to turn to a golden brown. To me it looked like a large velvet carpet. I was too young to know why we planted certain grains or crops, but I knew, if they thrived, we would be saved for another year on the farm in Northcote. I was old enough to know that.

the fields, and many loads had already been taken to the barn and hoisted up into the loft. Unlike some of the farmer’s hay fields in Northcote, there were no fancy bales in our fields, just hand-piled hay, gathered with a pitchfork. The smell of the newly mowed hay filled my nostrils, and I often went into the barn and climbed the little ladder just to look at the hay mound, and I would be filled with contentment, knowing our livestock would be well fed over the coming winter. Our barnyard held fat cows, sheep shorn of their wool, pigs contentedly rolling in the dirt. And I knew our smoke house would be filled to take us through the long winter months ahead. Mother’s garden that year, seemed to be spared the onslaught of crows and wild animals that often had their fill of the vegetables she had planted. For reasons unknown, our garden overflowed with produce...much to be peddled in Renfrew, and much to be canned in glass sealers to give us an ample table over the winter.

crop, and already we had our fill of pies, crisps, and applesauce. Already, the shelves in the crawl space under the house that served as a root cellar and a place to store Mother’s preserves and pickles, were filled with jars of raspberries and chokecherry jam. And so that year, the pall of anxiety that usually filled our house, was gone. We sang joyously at night before we went to bed with Mother on her mouth organ. Father still fell asleep in the rocking chair with the Family Herald and Weekly Star spread out on his knee, but I thought the lines in his face were lessened...still bone-tired was he, but with a look of contentment on his sleeping face. It was the only year I remember when the Depression wasn’t choking the blood out of our veins. All around us was the miracle of life. It would be replaced, as sure as death and taxes, the next year with the struggle for survival that marked that time in life, when every day was a challenge. But that year alone, there was hope that we would last to see another year of that era known as the Dirty Thirties. • Advertising rates and terms and conditions are according to the rate card in effect at time advertising published. • The advertiser agrees that the publisher shall not be liable for damages arising out of errors in advertisements beyond the amount charged for the space actually occupied by that portion of the advertisement in which the error occurred, whether such error is due to negligence of its servants or otherwise... and there shall be no liability for non-insertion of any advertisement beyond the amount charged for such advertisement. • The advertiser agrees that the copyright of all advertisements prepared by the Publisher be vested in the Publisher and that those advertisements cannot be reproduced without the permission of the Publisher. • The Publisher reserves the right to edit, revise or reject any advertisement.

Lanark Wild Food Club inspires younger generation at recent aquatic walk By PETER FISCHL
Lifestyle – On July 27, the Lanark Wild Food Club met at the Perth Wildlife Reserve as arranged and hosted by Chris Delage, one of our founding members. The event was planned with our junior members in mind and they were not disappointed, nor were the adults who accompanied them. Chris talked about the aquatic community and the diversity/web that we seldom think about. The inquisitive, enthusiastic children in attendance were a delight to all. As well as “critter dipping,’ Chris also demonstrated the proper handling of a snake and after our excursion, he gave the children a written test he had prepared. This was an exceptionally effective, hands-on learning experience for the children. Chris had obviously put a lot of thought and preparation into this outing and we sincerely appreciate all of his effort. On June 23, Erik Kaffrissen hosted 15 food club members beginning with a foraging hike adjacent to his resident on Cedar Rapids Road during which he discussed many wild edibles including herbs and mushrooms, some of which were not ready for harvesting. We did harvest gooseberries, wild mint, clover, milkweed flowers and cedar that were later turned into a luncheon feast with Erik making everything seem quite effortless. Our foraging was rewarded with a chutney made with clover, wild gooseberries and mint, which was served with tourtiere, steamed milkweed flowers and cedar tea. Erik also whipped up some cedar vinegar which he bottled
for everyone to take a sample home. Thank you Erik for your gracious hospitality. Unfortunately, Erik has resigned from the leadership of the LWFC. As a founding member, his knowledge of wild edibles, culinary expertise and his contagious enthusiasm have been huge assets to our group and he will be sadly missed. As you move forward with your many businesses and personal interests, Erik, we wish you all the best. Upcoming events Aug. 24: Reading in the Woods (10 a.m. with 9:30 a.m. registration). This walk will be led by Tony Durant. Tony plans to draw from his traditional native and scientific background to teach people how to read nature from the heart, to interpret it and to discern such things as what’s edible and what’s not, intuitively. As is tradition with our group, everyone is encouraged to contribute and use their own discretion at what they take away with them. To get to Tony’s place, follow Roger Stevens Drive east out of Smiths Falls and turn left (north) on Code Road. Tony’s residence is at 609 Code Road. Sept. 14: Wild Food and Nut Tree Walk. Mark this walk in your calendar. Kat Eliott, an arborist, will lead a guided tour of wild edibles and medicinals. More details are to follow. Other upcoming events include a session on Old Growth Trees and Edibles with Peter Fischl on Sept. 21, and Ted Mosquin will speak about honey mushrooms at a date in October. To register for any LWFC events, email peterfischl@mail.com. Please register early as participation in some walks

is limited. Everyone is welcome and the suggested donation is $10 per person or $20 per family per walk. Milkweed pods wanted We are in need of someone who is willing to go out on their own and collect baby milkweed pods right now. This is the common milkweed which we see everywhere with the mauve flowers and oval leaves. The pods are in season now and should be about ¾ of an inch long. If you can get some, please drop them off at 55 Wilson Street East in Perth after Aug. 13. The pods should be blanched and frozen. November dinner This year’s fundraising dinner has been confirmed for Nov. 16 and will be held at the Lions Hall in Perth. Please note the change of venue from our previous notices. Specific information for ticket costs and further availability of tickets will be advertised in our next update. Those of you who have already reserved tickets will be notified once they are printed. Anyone interested in volunteering for set up, serving or cleaning at this event can contact Barbara Gibson at marleyhank@gmail.com. The club is also still in need of canning jars, seals and lids, vacuum sealers and any other preserving equipment that might be available for donation. The Lanark Wild Food Club is a group of wild food enthusiasts sharing their expertise, enjoying the out of doors, meeting new friends and exchanging ideas from their varied backgrounds.

LCBO stores across Ontario raise funds for Jennifer Ashleigh Children’s Charity causes,� says LCBO president and chief executive officer, Bob Peter. “Through the generosity of LCBO customers and staff, we help improve the lives of countless Ontarians and make a difference where we live and work.� The Jennifer Ashleigh Children’s Charity is one of 28 provincial, as well as numerous local charities, that will benefit from LCBO’s province-wide donation box program in 2013. In 2012, LCBO raised a total of more than $6.6 million for charities through special programs and initiatives, of which $6.1 million was raised through in-store fundraising. In addition, LCBO’s annual dividend transfer to the Ontario government, which totaled $1.7 billion in fiscal 201213, excluding taxes, supports a wide range of important government programs, services and priorities, including health care and education. The Jennifer Ashleigh Children’s Charity thanks the public for its support when shopping at their local LCBO store from Aug. 18 to Sept. 14. Submitted by the LCBO.

Donation boxes for the JACC will be displayed at LCBO checkout counters until Sept. 14.

JACC’s mission is “Improving the quality of life for seriously ill children and their families‌when love is not enough.â€? Three-year old Logan, diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, is featured on this year’s donation box backer card. “During this difficult time in our lives, it helps to know there are people sending their love, support and prayers our way.

agrees, but he has no idea the trouble he’s walking into. Wyatt and Goddard are ruthless businessmen who will do whatever it takes to get what they want. Adam is just a pawn in their game, and if he makes one misstep it will be his last. Paranoia is one of those films where all the pieces are there, and they all fit, but it’s like they’ve been put to-
some real talent and proves that by holding his own next to some movie legends. Amber Head, who plays the film’s love interest, doesn’t hurt the film. Embeth Davidtz is fantastic as Judith a psychologist who helps mold Adam so he’ll fit into Goddard’s world. I also really like Richard Dreyfuss who plays Adam’s father. He’s got wonderful sensitivity and delivery, and had great chemistry with Hemsworth. Then there’s Gary Oldman and Harrison Ford. They

gether with a sledgehammer. The cast is great, the characters are interesting, the story is relevant, but there was no finesse in the telling. There wasn’t enough development of the characters or the plot. The filmmakers seemed to assume the audience already knows who these characters are, and what they’re doing so there’s no need to go into any depth. It was a real clumsy attempt at story telling. I really did like this cast though. Liam Hemsworth has

If nothing else Paranoia is an interesting look into what we as a society consider a cathartic fantasy these days. Adam (Liam Hemsworth) is just another cog in the machine at a huge telecommunications giant. He’s smart and ambitious, but he’s stuck with no way to move up the ladder. His only shot is to impress his boss, Nicholas Wyatt (Gary Oldman) with a killer presentation. Unfortunately Wyatt isn’t impressed, and fires Adam and his entire team. So

Tilbury-made 1935 Hudson Eight: Where is it today? Lifestyle – Robert Whitmore of Calgary, Alberta, writes to ask my help in finding a car he sold about fifty years ago. In 1959, when he and his family lived in Toronto, Robert’s younger brother Gary started his first job and needed a cheap car. They heard of an older gentleman in the ‘Beaches’ area who had an old car in his garage that he might sell. “It was a rust-free 1935 Hudson with a straight eight engine,” recalls Robert. “He said he kept a little oil in the cylinders and turned it over regularly. But he didn’t think it too appropriate for a young guy like my brother. Sometime later, we visited again and I asked if he would sell the car to me, not my kid brother. He saw my ’49 Chrysler on the street, which I always kept like new. He sold me his car for $75. “My older Uncle Wilfred and I pumped up the tires, which held air, and jacked up the car to remove the blocks. Then we towed it with a chain to my brother Bill’s
I lived in Toronto. No garage, and on a beginner’s salary. I advertised it for sale, I believe, in the Toronto Star. Two men bought it and I recovered my $75.00. “I was very sorry to see this car go.

I still have “After a thorough cleaning, it looked like new. After checking and topping up fluids and installing a battery, we tried to start it. Brother Bill towed it with a new Plymouth while my late Father drove the Hudson, with me as co-pilot. After some tire-shuddering jerks in gear, the Hudson let out a cloud of smoke and started up. It sat idling like it had run every day. “I stored the car there for over a year. Then the house was being sold and I had to move it.

Walking beneficial for anyone no matter where you are Lifestyle – I have long been an advocate of walking. Ever since an episode of atrial fibrillation a dozen years ago, I have been walking regularly. My doctors suggested it and soon I was walking every day. The more I walk, the more I enjoy it. I don’t for a second pretend to be a picture of health as a result! I am battling that all too familiar North American malady sometimes referred to as “middle age spread.” That’s just a nice way to say that like so many Canadians, I need to lose weight. Anyway, to help counteract the process I try to keep active. I still mow the lawn (our property is reasonably big for an in-town lot), rake the leaves in the fall and shovel the driveway in winter, unless there is a major storm. Heavy snow sees us hire an acquaintance who uses his snow blower to clear our lane and walkway. No point risking a heart attack! Above all, however, I walk. And I walk and I walk and I walk! I rarely miss a day and I do at least four kilometres (approximately 2.5 miles) along a planned route through the downtown area of Carleton Place where we live. I regularly cover that distance twice a day (Kathleen often walks with me). Either that or I follow a five km route which starts and stops at our home. That’s the thing about walking. Once you have established a routine for yourself I believe it is far more likely you will stick with “the program.” Pick a time, a route and walk it regularly. You may find you want to add more distance as time goes on. I meet a number of other regulars of all ages on my daily sojourns. Most tell me they started slowly but now do between five and 10 km every day for fitness purposes. In contrast to some people, I walk year round. The only exception is freez-
ing rain and lightning storms. If weather intervenes I ride an exercise bicycle instead. I miss very few days. If you dress for the conditions and wear the right footwear, there are few times during the year when walking is ill-advised. I will admit that on certain days I have to push myself out the front door. Who wants to leave the air conditioning to sweat through a four or five km walk on a sweltering summer day? Venturing outside in -25C weather to walk into a stiff breeze and with ice pellets peppering your exposed skin isn’t much fun either, but I do it. Ultimately it’s about having the right mind-set. You have to be motivated to be a daily walker. People often ask what keeps me walking every day. In other words, what is my motivation? My first answer is always, “If I didn’t I would weigh 800 pounds.” An exaggeration of course, but it makes a certain point I think! But as a career journalist I am a keen observer of life in general. I also enjoy talking to people. There is no better way to see any community, anywhere than by walking through it. Up close Walking allows you to see places and things up close. It provides a wonderful learning experience you will never get if you drive everywhere. On foot you can check window displays, chat with passersby, read historic plaques or street signs and study the changing landscape. A river (Canada’s Mississippi River) runs through our town. What better way to study the effects of the changing seasons than by watching the ebb and flow of the river and being on the lookout for the fish and other wildlife which inhabit it. I particularly enjoy crossing
Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE
the bridges here and studying the river closely. In my “mature years” I have also become interested in birds. Walking outdoors is the best way to bird watch. I regularly mention my love for travel. Kathy and I do even more walking when we travel. Our regular travel companions are also avid walkers. We take nature treks and explore the sights and the history of the communities we visit. True, we are often footsore at the end of the day. But we’re almost always satisfied after a day spent on the ankle express! We have been fortunate enough to walk through some of Europe’s great cities and view them up close. I know London, England so well now that I feel confident I could lead any group on a comprehensive walking tour. But I am also thinking about our visits to Paris, Strasbourg, Cologne, Rotterdam, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dublin and Belfast to name a few of our most enjoyable travel destinations. Recently I have heard from some readers, either by email or in person, about some of their international travel experiences. Among my correspondents are people who travel to Europe specifically to take a planned walking expedition. The route I hear about most frequently is a well-known walk in northern Spain. The 500-mile pilgrimage from the French side of the Pyrenees Mountains to the Cathedral of Santiago THE EMC - 25 - Thursday, August 22, 2013
de Compostela in Galicia (northwest Spain) is arguably the most famous walk in the world. For pilgrims it is an opportunity to walk to the famed cathedral which is said to be the burial place of the apostle Saint James. For most people the Camino de Santiago, or the ‘Camino Trail’ as it is commonly referred to in the English-speaking world, is simply a great way to see the many sights the long trek offers. Not to mention the obvious fitness benefits of such a lengthy hike. From what I have read the Camino experience can be good or bad depending on your objectives. For those who prefer a wilderness experience, for example, this is not the walk for you. Much of the trail passes through communities or over paved surfaces. The Camino Trail, like many religious pilgrimages, has also been highly commercialized. Based on my research, if you want an easier walk which does not require you to sleep in tents and pack food with you, the Camino Trail is a good option! Of course you don’t have to go to Europe to find interesting and challenging walks. If you are really ambitious there are some great opportunities in North America. The Appalachian Trail (AT), which winds its way along a mainly wilderness and mountainous route from Georgia to Maine (it passes through 14 states) is an astounding 2,100 miles long (that’s nearly 3,400 km). It takes months (four to six months on average) to walk the often challenging and rugged length of the AT. And there are very few opportunities for a warm bed or restaurant meal.
The Continental Divide (CD) and Pacific Crest (PC) trails are both longer. The CD, which runs from Mexico to Canada, following the Rocky Mountains, is an incredible 3,100 miles (nearly 5,000 kilometres) in length. The PC runs from California into southern British Columbia and its distance is listed at 2,663 miles (4,285 km). Together the AT, CD and PC are referred to by dedicated hikers as “the Triple Crown of walking” in the continental United States. In Canada a cross-country trail will eventually eclipse all three of the America trails combined. The Trans Canada Trail, which remains under development in a few areas, will eventually stretch an unbelievable 14,000 miles (22,500 kilometres). If you want to read some great travel books, especially about walking, turn to the work of Iowa-born writer Bill Bryson. His books will take you on a hilarious but highly informative journey across England and Europe as well as along the Appalachian Trail. I am currently reading his delightful 1997 book ‘A Walk in the Woods’ which is about his experiences walking the AT. I intend to explore parts of the Appalachian route in Vermont and New Hampshire myself in the near future. Of course you don’t have to trek hundreds of kilometres to have an enjoyable walking experience. You can pick out sections of all the trails I have referred to and have an equally satisfying adventure. In conclusion this week I am proud to say I walk on a section of the Trans Canada Trail almost every day. It runs along Mill Street, right beside the historic Carleton Place Town Hall. If you have any comments or quesTriple Crown The AT isn’t the longest walking trail tions for Jeff Maguire he can be reached in North America though.

Escaping to that musical wonder in the woods Lifestyle – My last column highlighted the incredible community spirit of Perth’s Stewart Park Festival which I experienced working behind the scenes. Our little burg really shone. Two weeks later I revisited, after a 30-year absence, the “enigma� of all summer festivals and was again blown away by what a community of music lovers have developed for their own pleasure, out in the woods. I say ‘enigma’ because, where most festivals struggle each year to break even, this festival, without publicity, owns its own property, the multi-genre line-up is a secret until just before the event, yet it sells out every year with a long waiting list. It is held in the middle of nowhere, people come from everywhere and all walks of life. This “under the radar�, private festival (which respectfully will remain nameless), celebrated its 40th anniversary this year and is attended by multi-generational attendees (approaching four generations for some families) still attending together. Run entirely by a core group of volunteers throughout the year and literally hundreds more on the weekend, it doesn’t take long to pick up on the amazing “community� energy that’s everywhere; the love of live music being its nucleus. I was there for the 10th anniversary in 1983 when we drove my school bus camper onto the rustic site. We enjoyed watching our then two and a half-year-old daughter enjoy the kids’ area. We took in the workshops where we still talk about the sufi dancing we tried. Dancing to the main stage shows at night under the stars, dealing with the perennial rain and the camaraderie throughout has never left my memory. The jamming around campfires into the wee hours was legendary as most camped onsite. They are very fond memories. Having twins with health issues, being involved in other festivals and family festivities kept us away for the next 30 years but as I strolled in with my buddy to set up our camp along with the throng of attendees, the same real sense of “community� re-emerged. Other than a growth in attendees, little had changed and it was all still feeling good. It’s not for the squeamish. Classy outhouses are the order of the day. It takes a hearty soul to tromp into the woods and set up your living space for the weekend. The empty, cleared camping meadows become transformed into active habitats, clustered with long-established and ever evolving groupings of tents and dining areas, nestled side by each, sometimes sharing tent pegs, where family and friends who often only see one another yearly there, together, create functional villages that would defy most urban planners. It seems to always rain at some point which only brings forth the creativity of what can be done with tarps to keep people dry. Vehicles are not allowed onsite and parking is a good jaunt away so carts are used to transport your gear to your site. New since I was there last is hydro power to run the main stage sound system, potable water and ice available onsite and nifty solar-bag showers. Composting, re-
cycling and reusing are highlighted and practiced as people try hard to minimize their footprint. The world could learn a lesson from the incredible voluntary infrastructure that is apparent. Tickets are limited and available via a lottery system. Those who volunteer and get involved as part of one of the many structured committees (i.e.: security, recycling, water detail, First Aid, parking, and, as printed in their program, “keeping our lovely loos smelling oh so sweetâ€?) gain some privilege in securing tickets for the next year. It gives you a fresh sense of faith in your fellow man as you walk around seeing young guys and gals volunteering alongside people who could be their grandparents and obviously enjoying one another’s company. People actually pick up after themselves, share and offer assistance. Everyone attending takes pride in what they are lucky to be part of, each proudly doing their bit. And the musicians‌WOW! Firstly, they all willingly stay in tents and enjoy the rustic facilities. There were no egos. They often are presenters in workshops that take place daily and are seen in the wee hours sitting around a campfire, sharing their musical gifts and stories. Canadian folk/blues icon Ken Whiteley played at the first and many subsequent years and not only led an inspiring gospel set but also led an memorable workshop on stories of the late, great Jackie Washington, whom he toured with for years. Owners of world renowned, local Canadian luthier, Oskar Graf instruments, brought their “Oskarsâ€? to a workshop and shared their delightful sounds which was well attended. There was much sharing and the relaxed mood they all presented was intoxicating. There were workshops for everyone, from yoga to raising backyard chickens, theatre, square dancing, belly dancing, instructionals, to name a few. A who’s who of mostly Canadian talent was
highlighted with US veterans Trout Fishing in America making a repeat performance and David Ross MacDonald of Australia also welcomed back. A production of evalyn parry’s theatrical performance entitled ‘Spin’ was a nice touch. So many amazing scenes‌kiddies running around smiling and playing with their friends with very few of them entering into the vocal unhappy camper mode. Gatherings throughout of folks bringing out their varied instruments and joining
in with newbies and veterans alike around campfires, under tarps when it rained, throughout the night playing which added a wide variety of soundscapes as I wandered around, taking the magic all in. Early morning sunrise treks to the loo (as old guys like me need to do) where entire fields of multi-coloured tents covered in dew, literally radiated in the early morning sun’s rays created quite a memorable image... and that was when I was heading to bed after a night of wandering, storytelling and appreciation for the musically gifted throughout! The beauty of the multitude of so many stars was visible up there without external lights around; the packed hillside in front of main stage each night with no one crowding in or standing in front of you like some festivals I’ve been to; the colourful throng of dancers off to the side, let-
ting the music move them in their own varied, unique ways. Seeing Kate Weekes, now from Whitehorse, play with her trio on the same main stage she grew up in front of, with her mom Carolyn Stewart smiling proudly nearby was a sight. Watching David Francey getting to play locally for a change. The pride and joy evident on every face of the annual choir members (thanks Andy Rush and Jack Hurd), the respective Fiddle Orchestra (thanks Cindy McCall) and Ukelele Band members (thanks Eve Goldberg), also and who could forget the annual Sunday Morning Parade? Running into and getting caught up with so many friends in such an accepting atmosphere, it was a magic, musically inspired world for a weekend. Oh, and did I mention the Blue Skies? Support live music everywhere.

province only a very small percentage of test centres have been reprimanded for improper tests. Evaporative system faults on older vehicles can be a pain to trace and repair as dried out and cracked hoses can cause small, hardto-find leaks. A good tech won’t skip any steps in this type of diagnosis by simply installing a new part. Often a visible vapor has to be introduced to the evap system under pressure with a specialized shop tool, and then the various lines, fittings, valves and components can be checked for leaks. I’d drive the vehicle to see if the check engine light reappears. If the evap system still has a problem, the light will come back on and if repairing this was part of the purchase agreement, you should be able to hold the retailer liable for repairs within a reasonable time and mileage limit.

Lifestyle – “Hi Brian, I just purchased a used 2002 Pontiac Grand Am from a small garage/used car dealer. Upon first inspection of the car on the lot the engine light was on and I did an OBD2 scan which gave me a code about a leak in EVAP system. They promised to safety and fix any problems to pass the Drive Clean test. When I went to pick up the vehicle the man said it didn’t need anything for the e-test that he just reset it and drove it to the test facility and it passed. I retested it with my scanner and the code is gone but the EVAP monitor is still yellow (not ready). How can he sell it to me with a passed e-test when it hasn’t finished all the internal tests? He didn’t drive it enough to finish the drive cycle and the testing facility only did one test.� Chris A little explanation for the rest of us might help first. The OBD2 scan Chris refers to stands for the vehicle’s On-Board Diagnostic system, version two. The leak he refers to was in the car’s EVAPorative control system, an emission device which is designed to prevent the venting of raw gasoline fumes into the atmosphere. Under the new Ontario emission test rules (which came into effect on Jan. 1 of this year) a vehicle will not pass an emission test if the check engine light is on. If a retailer tries to simply reset the car’s computer to erase the trouble code(s), this would be detected by an e-test station and the car would fail and it would have to be driven long and far enough for the onboard computer to run its own tests to see if everything was okay, (referred to as a readiness drive-cycle) or if not, the check engine light could be relit. If the retailer reset the light and completed a drivecycle run to ready the vehicle for another test, it’s possible that the vehicle could then pass, even though the onboard computer hadn’t finished monitoring the EVAP system because the new emission test can ignore up to two monitors if the rest pass. It’s also possible the vehicle received a conditional pass if it failed two consecutive e-tests over at least two days for readiness faults. Then the station could supply a certificate if an old-style tailpipe sampling indicated no excessive emissions. It’s also possible, but unlikely, that a test station fudged the results by testing another car. The Ministry of the Environment takes a dim view of those practices and will suspend or revoke a test station’s license for such things. As much as many of us detest emission tests, since their beginning in this

News – Diane Dewing, an occasional teacher with the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) and president of the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) Upper Canada Occasional Teacher Local, was reelected to the executive of ETFO Aug. 13. Speaking to more than 800 ETFO members at the federation’s annual meeting in Toronto, Dewing spoke to the need of maintaining ETFO’s strong identity as a leader in elementary education. “With the economic pressures exerted on public services, we need to protect the rights of teachers and educational professionals, and the integrity of public education,� she said. “ETFO can and will continue to defend democratic rights, and remind all governments that while privilege may be withdrawn during times of austerity, rights must always be respected,� she continued. Dewing, who has served on the provincial executive since 2007, began her teaching career in 1982, and became an occasional teacher in 1993. She has taught Core French at all levels, French Immersion for grades 5 to 8, and has worked with special needs students. She was also a specialist teacher, teaching Morals and Ethics for grades 7 to 11. Dewing was elected to the Upper Canada Occasional Teacher Local executive in 1998.

About 20 issue paper points to ponder for Tay Valley official plan priorities By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
News – There’s no shortage of things to worry about in Tay Valley Township. So, in order to stop worrying, and start planning for their next five-year official plan, the township has come up with about 20 ‘issue papers,’ which are “an attempt to put issues in layman’s terms and not in ‘planning speak,’” said Malcolm E. Morris, chief administrative officer for township last week. The 20 topics were chosen to “reveal the breadth of what municipalities deal with. We’ve tried to break it down.” For Morris, two issues that he has heard a lot about already are water quality and environmental protection. “Protecting the lakes, safety and maintenance of property, and how the township supports economic development,” were top issues, said Noelle Reeve, planner for the township, when asked what concerns she had heard from residents. The issue papers include: * UNESCO World Heritage site designation of the Tay Canal * Wetlands * Low impact development * Dark skies * Significant wetlands * Climate change * Waterfront buffer * Local food * Economic development * Business park * Home-based businesses * Hamlet expansion * Secondary suites * Property and occupancy standards * Mini-dwelling size * Affordable housing * Safe routes to school One of the more contentious papers is about climate change,
an issue Morris believes that the township needs to prepare for and take seriously. “There is a recognition that climate change is not only a global matter but a local matter. We feel the effects…the very real impacts of climate change,” said Morris. He pointed out that ‘winter control activities,’ used to average about 20 ‘winter events’ every season, like snow storms. Now, there are about 38 events during an average winter, and they tend to be more along the lines of freezing rain and ice. Those types of events “consume more resources,” which the township has to account for. “We are a participant whether we want to be or not,” said Morris. Reeve added that it was important to update the official plan every five years because of shifting public priorities. Five years ago, for example, “there wasn’t a lot of a concept about healthy communities,” Reeve said, nor much discussion about walking and biking paths. “That’s what we want to hear,” she said. “It really does lay out clearly where the township can reach out and turn its attention to,” through exercises such as this. While some may question the need for a municipal government to be involved in some issues, Reeve explained that, with the official plan, “it’s all tied to land use. It all comes down to the different uses of land. It actually affects people’s lives.” The official plan open house was held in the Tay Valley Township council chambers in the afternoon and evening hours of Tuesday, Aug. 13. “We view this as a starting point to get an official plan approved,” said Morris. “This is one of many steps in our out-
reach effort.” Taxpayers can still have their say online into next month, before all of the verbal and written comments are brought together in a report that will be brought before council sometime in October or later in the autumn. Another public meeting is planned for this fall. It is expected that a draft official plan will be presented to council for discussion in April of 2014. “It’s an aggressive schedule, but we think it is doable,” said Morris. He added that it was the township’s intention to get “a good cross-section of seasonal and regular residents. The needs and wants of those two groups can be somewhat different. We need to reach out to the seasonal population, as they are significant (to the township).” Lorne Hooper, a member of Pike Lake’s association, was already taking exception to two of the items on the issue paper list: climate change and waterfront protection, questioning the very notion of climate change. “Now we are in a 20 year cooling period. That’s what the scientists say,” Hooper told Morris. “The sun is not constant.” As for the matter of waterfront protection, for him, it all comes down to landowners’ rights, and his belief that the township may be overstepping its powers. “Our main concern is the shoreline preservation bylaw… telling people what they can’t do with their private property,” said Hooper. “I value freedom. It was won at a high cost. If some guy wants have a lawn, so what?” He also cautioned municipal staff about putting too much stock into the word of cottagers associations. “You can’t make the assumption that they speak for all of the landowners,” said Hooper.

Mayor John Fenik money,� said Fenik. Fenik says he’s been thinking a lot about this issue and is coming to realize that he’s becoming more disenchanted with the fact that he has to pay for water if he’s thirsty. “We have an abundant supply of water and we should make that readily available with refillable stations for people who need it,� he says. “I think Robyn hits the nail on the head – that water is a basic human right. That’s a resource that should be unlimited and available at no charge to everybody.� Although, Fenik adds, “it costs for treatment of water, but it’s one of things that everybody should have access to it.� What it’s really all about, Fenik says it’s engaging and supporting young people in these endeavours, like their proactive stance on water protection. “Whether it’s water or saving trees or participatory democracy, every time I see a young person come into the chambers my spirit is lifted. They’re going to be the future, and she’s pretty special for sure.� Staff was asked to prepare a report on the issue. OTHER NEWS In other council news, Stewart Park Festival organizers reported a good festival on all fronts. “Overall the Stewart Park Festival was good this year,� said Fenik. “They generated a profit which was nice, because it’s a free festival and the contribu-
tions at the gate were up and the music was great, so it was pretty good.� Festival intern, Rachel Morgan, whose contract was to end after the festival, may be kept on a little while longer – at least that’s Fenik’s hope. “She is definitely an asset and as far as I’m concerned, we need Rachel full time on that festival,� Fenik said, as they are seeking more grant funding to extend her contract. “When you look at festivals in Ottawa, they have professional people year-round doing the planning and organizing and logistics – they charge a lot of money to do that, but the festivals generate a lot of money to do that. Our (free) festival is different in that we have to rely on grants to hire somebody. But I’d love to see her back, for sure.� CBC will be filming a miniseries in Perth, based on a book Best Laid Plans, by Terry Fallis. “When I heard CBC was looking at our community to do the miniseries shoot, I was quite happy,� said Fenik. Fenik said he chased after the producer to encourage him to come to Perth, and added that it will be great for national exposure. “From what I understand, the series will be shown in January and Perth will be noticed as one of the scenes for the shoot, so I’m looking forward to that.� CBC began shooting in town on Wednesday, Aug. 21.

News – A young advocate touting the importance of drinking water as a basic human right captivated her audience on Aug. 6 during Perth’s committee-ofthe-whole meeting. Robyn Hamlyn of Kingston is just 14-years-old, but already she has presented her Blue Communities Project to city and town councils across Ontario. “Robyn presented a very clear and concise report to council,� said Mayor John Fenik in a phone interview with The Perth Courier last week. “She was passionate in her speaking about becoming a blue community and the whole bottled water, right-to-water issue.� After the meeting, Fenik said he pulled her aside and expressed interest in looking into the matter. “I told her that council is very on side with adopting a blue community with town-owned operations,� he said. “She’s got a lot of runway ahead of her – a special path. If she’s advocating for this type of thing at age 14, I think that whatever she intends to follow in life she will be successful. If she was living in Perth, and running for mayor, I’d be worried.� Fenik says council is interested in doing the whole refillablewater concept, but right now, they have a contract with Pepsi, where they are bound to supply bottled water. “But our contract is up in January, so we are going to renegotiate that piece. But we’ve asked for a report to be generated to see what we can do to pass the resolutions to move us to a blue community,� said Fenik. It’s a matter of installing a set of pumps with a reservoir of water for a filling station, he says. “I don’t think it would be that cost prohibitive. These filling stations are probably quite cost effective and if we look at the cost of using a refillable aluminum or plastic bottle at these stations, in the end we’re going to save our environment a lot of pain and suffering and we’re going to save

Lanark Highlands council considers Middleville subdivision questions By AMY HOGUE
News – Following the outcome of an Aug. 6 committee-of-the-whole meeting in Lanark Highlands, it appears that another public meeting may be in the cards for the Middleville subdivision. Margo Fulford, representing an ad hoc group of concerned community members, made a presentation to the committee, outlining her group’s concerns for the proposed development. “We wish to make it clear that we are not trying to stop the subdivision from happening,” Fulford said, reading from a six-page document presented to committee. “We want to be assured that when this subdivision happens, it is the best that it can be for the community and all procedures
are correctly followed.” The subdivision has been proposed for a 108 acre parcel of land located east of the hamlet of Middleville. The applicant, Jeff Jackson, submitted his subdivision proposal to divide the property into 40 lots between two and four acres in size. Neighbours and members of the community concerned about the proposed development first attended a public meeting in March of this year to learn more of the development. Since the application was submitted to Lanark County, the proposal has been circulated among commenting agencies and the Township of Lanark Highlands for comment. Fulford listed off the main concerns of her group, namely concerns with the following of procedures,
adherence to the township’s official plan and the overall expense of the development versus additional taxation revenue. Fulford suggested the municipality undertake a detailed cost-benefit analysis to determine if the development would result in any additional tax revenue for the township. Another concern raised by Fulford was the developer’s offer of cash-in-lieu of public space. Subdivision developers have the option of offering monetary compensation as opposed to leaving a section of the divided property for community use. Fulford pointed out the current lack of community areas in the Middleville area. “The developer is offering cash-in-lieu of public
space, in an area that has no playground, no ball-field, no public trails. Under these circumstances is council prepared to accept cash-in -lieu?” she asked. Fulford went on to point out that if a public space is granted within the subdivision, a safe sidewalk should also be provided to allow safe travel between Middleville and the development. “Will there be another public meeting to address these concerns?” Fulford asked the committee in closing. Rob Wittkie, planning administrator/deputy clerk, confirmed the information provided to the committee by the delegation and the answers to their questions would be available to the public by contacting him or
checking the website. Deputy Mayor Brian Stewart said he felt the questions and answers should be made available to the public in a more accessible format. “I’ll definitely be supporting another meeting,” Stewart said, adding that he’d like to see a report containing the questions and responses that have been submitted to date. “I’d like to see that report come back to the committee-of-the-whole for further discussion.” Wittkie suggested that once all information is received it could be made available to the public at another committee meeting or at a public meeting held in the evening. Following Fulford’s presentation, Tracy Zander, planner for the developer, addressed the commit-
tee. Zander explained that a recent MDS recalculation necessitated the redrawing of the subdivision plans, requiring the restructuring of the lot sizes and locations, but did not alter the design significantly. Zander provided the committee and those present at the meeting with a sneak peak at the new, revised plans. The new plan features one entrance and exit and a circular interior road, but the number of lots remain unchanged, although some of the lot sizes have been resized.
Zander told the committee that the last two months had been spent doing fieldwork and working on the hydro-geological terrain analysis that will then be re-circulated to commenting agencies. “Everyone wants answers now but those who have been through the subdivision process know it can take a shocking amount of time,” Zander told the committee. “All the answers are coming but I can’t give you a timeline.”

Sports – The Perth Kilt Run has been voted as one of the top 10 themed runs in all of Canada by a well regarded online magazine. The Huffington Post’s Canadian edition recently featured a column by writer Marissa Schroder, on Canada’s top themed running events. The article also ran in Get Out There magazine, and proved to be welcome news for run co-organizer Mary Stewart. “It’s incredible,” said Stewart. “There are lots of themed runs out there. I believe we are the best one!” She added that not only is the ranking a good boost of publicity, it also
promotes Perth as well. “It’s actually a little mini festival,” Stewart added, with vendors, caber tossing, and, of course, the Canadian haggis throwing championships. The 2014 run will also likely feature a “Wee Warriors” kids class competition, allowing the younger set to dress up like warriors. The run’s, well, run of good luck against Perth, Scotland also continues, with the Canadians again besting the Scotsmen, and ladies, for attendance. “They were really trying,” said Stewart. “And they are a big city. Both years we were hoping that they would beat us so as we could then beat them.” Not content to only challenge our
cousins across the Atlantic Ocean, the Stewart family looked across the Pacific as well, down under, to the edge of the Indian Ocean, and the Western Australian capital of Perth, to throw the gauntlet down for them too. “We challenged Perth, Australia,” said Stewart. “We had a couple of Aussies from the Australian High Commission in Ottawa and they ran in the race and, afterwards, we presented them with a challenge.” This past June, more than 1,800 runners put on their kilts to take part in the 8 km race. “A lot of runners have said that this year was the best ever,” said Stewart. “I don’t know why!”

OPINION
Connected to your community
Time to abolish the senate Editorial – More and more Canadians are coming to the realization that the Senate doesn’t work for them; that successive governments have done nothing more than promise to fix it; and that the only way to convince national and provincial politicians to closing the upper house is by demanding a referendum. Allow Canadians to vote on it and may the majority get its way. That’s how democracy works. Plenty of academics, public intellectuals and elder statesmen have kept the Senate alive for far too long. They remind us that its existence is guaranteed by the Constitution. They appear to value their knowledge of the law more than the spirit of good sense. They tell us that only by opening that dreaded can of worms can abolition occur; as if the country would split by following the will of the majority. They ask: How can we convince senators to kill their own jobs, let alone convince all five provinces that enjoy over-representation in the upper house to agree? Easy. Show them the referendum results. Those that choose to ignore them do so at their own political peril. There are many reasons why the Senate should be abolished. At the very top is its inherent elitism. It began as an institution for rich landowners to
protect themselves from the revolutionary masses that swept over many countries during the Age of Ideology. It remains so to this day, with party faithful entering the red chamber on little more than cocktail-party credentials. Each is paid $132,300 a year. Taxpayers pay $106 million a year for it, not including pension plan contributions. No less than 14 advanced countries have abolished their upper houses, many citing the unelected aspect. (Canada has numerous examples of unelected senators blocking legislation proposed by elected members of parliament.) But others noted the under-representation of minorities and women; the slow-moving process of legislation due to upper house scrutiny; and long or unlimited terms in office reminiscent of monarchism. The constant defence heard of those who sit in the senate is that of the “sober second thought.” This is a thinly veiled plea to meritocracy. Only that argument fails when one points to just how partisan the environment on Parliament Hill has become. It is time for all politicians to follow the NDP lead, and admit that filling an entire second level of government with their friends – in 21st century Canada – is profoundly undemocratic. Sober second thought follows the will of the people.

Painters, you are safe
ifestyle - Those of you following along are, undoubtedly, sitting on the edges of your seats and waiting with bated breath and every other cliché for an update on the painting at our house. Last week I mentioned that Groom-boy got the stairs and floors painted while the kids and I were ensconced at a cottage. This was crucial, as the stairs lead to the only bathroom in the house. But...we’re not done. This year’s painting project has been a big one. It started with ripping up the carpet on the stairs and upper hall, as well as the ancient (surprise!) runner on the stairs and 90 billion or so nails and staples, followed by scraping, sanding, and cleaning. In addition to painting the stairs and upper hall floor, we’re also doing the walls in the front entry, stairwell, and upper hall, including my office area. Did I mention the miles of trim? Groom-boy got the major walking surfaces done and some of the walls in the upper hall, but much awaited when we returned from the cottage, including the risers on the stairs. With the volume of work left to do I joined the painting team, which is usually the domain of Groom-boy. I was highly motivated by a burning desire to try to restore my office to its rightful location in the dormer window of the upper hallway. After all, the contents of said office have been dispersed throughout the house. I’m working in the kitchen. There are files in the dining room and in our bedroom, along with a set of drawers. I’m sure Boychild won’t miss my book case, file cabinet, and office chair in his room. It’s enough to leave one feeling...scattered. After I painted the trim, Groom-boy finished
office walls and I returned to the stairs. The adhesive used for that aforementioned ancient (surprise!) runner was pretty much gone from the treads, but proved cantankerous on STEPHANIE GRAY the risers. Even though we scraped and sanded the risers smooth, our paint didn’t like the remnants of the adhesive. My father-in-law had some dandy sealant that did the job. After kneeling to do two coats of that and three coats of paint, I felt as if I were at Saint Joseph’s Oratory, but with less prayer. Last time I did any amount of painting of consequence was in 1996 when Groom-boy and I moved into our first apartment. I remember working on the walls – nice, big stretches of blankness – and enormously wide baseboards. Risers and trim require...precision. I’ve never been great at staying within the lines when colouring. Probably I failed scissors, too, but that has improved immensely. I was able to successfully cut the painters’ tape – which also helps one to stay within the lines. I got my running music ready to go and turned up the volume. That playlist has proven to be immensely helpful for things like painting, tearing up carpet and removing nails and staples. Someday I might even use it for running again. Despite the tape, newspaper, a wet cloth and a voice in my head screaming at me to be careful and not drip or slop, I dripped and slopped. I wiped and apologized and redoubled my efforts on the second coat, but dripped and slopped some more. Then I shrugged, turned up the volume and resigned myself to the fact that next week I will be going around with a palette and little brush in order to dab and touch up and make pretty. Or maybe I will leave that to Groom-boy.

Fight cancer, yes, but not at expense of earth, ears
To the Editor: Re: “Motorcycle Ride for the Cure rolling through county Aug. 25,” The Perth Courier, Aug. 8. Raising money to combat breast cancer (or indeed, any illness) is a worthwhile undertaking. However, using an illness to justify riding around on motorcycles that produce an absurd amount of air pollution and noise is hypocritical. A very conservative estimate suggests that the projected 80 bikes will burn off about $2,000 worth of gas to run the 300 kilometers. The average
motorcycle (and Harleys are NOT average) produces at least 90 times more pollution per mile than an SUV, meaning the event will produce the pollution equivalent to some 7,200 SUVs bumbling around the countryside. And let’s not get into the racket that these machines make – anyone living within a kilometer of one of the “bike routes” can attest to the disturbance these machines make. Given how much the riders will spend on “pit stops” and lunch, they could easily raise more money to combat breast
cancer if they just stayed home and gave the gas and lunch money to the Breast Cancer Society of Canada. Surely, to raise money and awareness for a health issue, there has to be some healthier, more efficient, and quieter way that has less impact on the environment and the community. We all know that bikers are going to thunder about the countryside anyway but please, don’t portray it as a community-spirited activity.

World Youth Day on Brazil’s Copacabana Beach By FR. BRIAN McNALLY
St. John the Baptist Catholic Church
Editorial – When music fans hear of Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, they often think back to the one million people gathered there for a concert by Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones a few years ago. Now, and in the future, when people think of that legendary three-mile stretch of sandy beach with its storied and often less-than-edifying history, they will recall not The Rolling Stones and their “Sympathy for the Devil” hit tune, but Pope Francis and his message of renewed faith in Jesus Christ. That message was recently proclaimed to three million youth - three times the previous record number - on that same beach during World Youth Day (WYD) this past July. Church leaders and the public, including thousands of journalists covering the event and millions following the week’s gatherings on television and online, were moved and inspired by the presence of this sizeable congregation of young Catholics. They came together joyfully and enthusiastically around the successor of Saint Peter, the new Holy Father, Pope Francis - the first Pope from the Americas. Many people I have talked with, including those who do not regularly practice any religious faith and/or do not know much about Catholicism, think that Pope Francis is wonderful! What is it about this pope that attracted so many people from around the globe, mostly youth between the ages of 16 and 35, to World Youth Day 2013 in Rio? And what is drawing such favourable attention, even from the secular media, to this Argentine Cardinal, Jorge Bergoglio? Part of the answer seems to lie in the fact that he comes across as a man of deep compassion, simplicity, and love who touches people’s hearts very deeply. Francis has captured the imagination and attention of all generations in a way similar to that of John Paul II during his years as Holy Father (1978-2005). At WYD Rio, the 76-year-old Pope Francis showed his energy, his relevance, and his compelling vision of Jesus and the church. To the youth, Francis spoke in a language they understand - direct, simple and related to the realities they experience. “Let Christ be your strength; don’t get drunk on other things,” he told them during the papal reception. “Stir things up,” he urged the young people, exhorting them to challenge clericalism and complacency. One commentator described World Youth Day in this insightful way: “While at times the large international event resembled a huge but wholesome rock concert, World Youth Day is essentially an encounter — with the successor of Peter and the church, through the gathering of bishops, priests and religious and the celebration of the sacraments. Further, it’s an encounter with other young people, who are galvanized by a meeting with so many others who share their faith. Ultimately, it’s an encounter with Jesus Christ, who calls everyone to be transformed by his love and mercy.” See YOUTH page P11

reach the loading dock on Hogg Bay. The mention of water reminded Johnny of another story, about taking a break from working all morning to go down to the water and spear a few fish for lunch. Johnny displayed a three pronged spear tip, commonly used in the area for fishing. Turns out Johnny isn’t the best of fishermen and ended up on his backside after slipping on a rock. The group then set off to the mica mine, the most anticipated stop on the journey back in time. Upon reaching the entrance to the mine, people could immediately feel how much colder it was. The group descended into a cavern, which lies 60 feet below the earth’s surface. The true depth of the mine is
140 feet, but the tour did not involve spelunking. The underground cavern was quite a sight to behold, and fortunately too cold for bats to take up shelter in. Brock explained that the entire mine was drilled out by hand, which must have been incredibly tedious work for the miners. Black powder was used to assist in the breaking apart of rock, which is actually more dangerous than dynamite, due to its unpredictable nature, especially when exposed to moisture. However, no one has ever died in the mine. It is just one of 35 mines in the region. After exploring the mine, the group set out for the bunk house, which is where the min-

“Ultimately, it’s an encounter with Jesus Christ …” – that’s the heart of the entire WYD event, the prism through which we can understand what was happening there. If the young people are inspired by Pope Francis, it’s because they know and experience the fact that, beyond his human qualities and limitations, he is the Vicar of Christ and shepherd of His people. World Youth Day is about Jesus and His Church. The Holy Father directed people’s attention again and again to Jesus, and encouraged them to tell
others about the love, joy, and hope they find in Him. “Go and make disciples of all nations,” he proclaimed during the closing mass, explaining: “The best evangelizers are other young people. If we are truly in love with Christ and if we sense how much he loves us, our heart will ‘light up’ with a joy that spreads to everyone around us.” If Jesus and his friend and vicar, Pope Francis, can draw millions of young people from all over the world to an event like this, is Christianity really in its twilight years? Will the next generation really be godless and secular?

ers used to live and the final stop on the historical voyage. The group was served a delicious dinner of stuffed tenderloin, garlic mashed potatoes, and green beans, which was generously provided by the Fall River Restaurant in Maberly. The entertainment, a band called Cratur, did a marvellous job of providing background music to the hungry time travellers. When it was time to head back down the trail, participants were provided with lanterns to light the way and a guide, some of whom enjoy telling scary stories to heighten the senses.

News – Travelling back in time isn’t just done in a DeLorean. Sometimes, driving 45 minutes in a less futuristic-looking car can lead you to a historical adventure. The Friends of Murphy’s Point are excellent guides in the time travelling process. The volunteer- based group put on a lovely event on Aug. 14, entitled “Tunes, Tales and Rusty Relics.” “Our mandate, and Ontario Parks’, is cultural interpretation,” said Beth Peterkin, a volunteer. The event was part of Heritage Mica Days, which runs from June to October at Murphy’s Point Provincial Park in Tay Valley Township. “It started four years ago as a oneday event to celebrate the Silver Queen Mine and the history of mica mining in the former North Burgess township,” said Peterkin. The group decided to focus on 1908 for their historically-oriented events, which take place at least once a week, because that was when the mica mine was in its heyday. “Heritage Mica Days is one of the ways we do cultural interpretation and bring history to life,” said Peterkin. The mica from the Silver Queen Mine was used in many things, including windows in French Navy ships. According to Peterkin, regular glass was too brittle to withstand being tossed about on the waves, so mica was used instead, due to its pliable nature. The guests gathered at the Lally Homestead, which is across from the trail leading to the mine. Two unique actors, posing as local characters from 1908, were introduced to the group as Ms. Whitfield and Johnny Russell, both of whom had a tendency to interrupt the poor Ontario Parks interpreter, named Brock. Brock began by explaining the itinerary for the night, which would eventually take the group through the mica mine, after a few stops along the way to check out some regional relics. Johnny was quick to cut Brock off, in order to tell a story about a young Irish couple’s journey in a ‘coffin ship’ across the ocean to Canada. They were referred to as ‘coffin ships’ because of the number of people who died during the voyage in the cramped, unhygienic, and food deprived conditions in the 1840s. At the end of the harrowing tale, Johnny reveals that the young couple were in fact James Lally’s parents, who did indeed travel from Ireland to Canada to seek a better life during the potato famine years in the 1840s. The homestead, upon which the group stood, was where James established himself. The group set off from the homestead
towards the trail leading to the mine. After a brief walk, Brock stopped the group in front of a large rock off to the side of the trail. Brock explained that when the Murphy family came to Canada, they built their home on what is now the main beach in the park. The Murphy family tried to farm the land, only to discover giant rock deposits. Ms. Whitfield jumped in to tell a story about rock picking as a girl. She said that picking rocks certainly wasn’t a fun activity, but it was necessary to avoid sheering the tips off of their plows. At the end of the story, Brock noted that most farmers in the former North Burgess township had to find other ways to supplement their income, such as operating sawmills. The group then travelled further down the trail to another small clearing. Brock said that every year professional archaeologists, in conjunction with the Friends of Murphy’s Point, and Grade 5 students, come to the area to search for relics. He then displayed a beautifully carved clay pipe, which was found in the park. Seeing the pipe reminded Johnny of another story about one of the Lally brothers, in which the older boy thought it would be funny to trick the younger one into continuously breaking off bits of the stem of the pipe, and then telling him to take a long, hard drag, causing him to burn his mouth. After much laughter from the group, Brock explained that it was common for people to break off bits of their stem when it got clogged, leaving treasures for archaeologists to find. The group set off again, this time stopping in front of a rusty bucket off to the side of the trail. Brock picked up the bucket and said that when archaeologists were surveying the area, they noticed a deep trench filled with rocks, which they determined functioned as a rudimentary furnace for boiling sap. Ms. Whitfield interrupted Brock’s explanation with a story about hauling sap buckets as a child. She was quite traumatized once by picking up a sap bucket, only to discover that a poor, helpless squirrel had drowned in the sticky liquid. The story had a happy ending though because every once in a while, after hauling the sap buckets, she would be rewarded with a line of sap in the snow, which every Canadian knows is a sweet treat. The group proceeded on to the ore wagon, which is a beautiful display featuring a wagon filled with barrels of ore, being pulled by two very realistic looking horses. Brock explained the historical display was created by the Friends of Murphy’s Point, at the base of the actual trail ore wagons would have travelled to

Donna Margaret (nee LeRoy)
James Kenneth
Passed away peacefully on Saturday, August 17, 2013 at home with her family, husband Nick, daughter Andrea and son Eric by her side. Donna was 55 years old. Donna was born in Grimsby, Ontario in February 1958, the youngest daughter of Cecil and Dorothy (Cox) LeRoy. At a young age, she moved to Bells Corners, Nepean where she grew up and attended school, graduating from Bell High School in 1977 and Sheridan College in 1979. After marrying and starting a family, Donna and Nick built a home in Ramsay Township (now Mississippi Mills).The Cox family’s love of music got Donna involved in singing in choirs throughout her life, starting in a children’s choir at the Fourth Avenue Baptist Church. In her twenties she joined the Ottawa chapter of the Sweet Adelaide’s, singing with the chorus and in a quartet. Donna was a strong voice in the church choir at Almonte United with her beloved mother Dorothy for many years and in the Folk Choir, and in the choir at Guthrie United in Clayton. She rounded out her enjoyment of singing with the Wolf Grove Singers community choir. Donna took great pride in the guidance she provided to her daughter, as Andrea blossomed into an accomplished piano player and a confident young music teacher. Donna also took pride in seeing her son Eric, turn into a fine, caring, responsible young man, confident he will succeed in whatever challenges he might pursue or experience in his life. Donna thoroughly enjoyed the time she was able to spend with her children while homeschooling and seeing them develop into responsible young adults. Donna was also active in the community, from running a play school group, starting and co-ordinating a local Food Co-op, leading many 4-H clubs, to serving on the Lanark 4-H executive. This was all extra to her main career as Domestic Engineer, where she successfully ran the household and home schooled the children. She still found time for her passion to do sewing, make crafts, plan several family vacations in great detail and plan family reunions. The family would like to thank all the support staff, nurses and doctors at the many hospitals that were involved in Donna’s journey and a special thanks to the nurses, Jen and Sarah, of St. Elizabeth. Friends may call at the Almonte Chapel of Tubman Funeral Homes, 154 Elgin Street, Almonte, on Friday, August, 23, 2013 from 7 to 9 pm. Funeral service will be held on Saturday, August 24, at the Guthrie United Church, Clayton, Ontario at 11 am. For those wishing to make a donation in memory of Donna, please consider Guthrie United Church or the Almonte General Hospital.

We can’t believe you’re really gone, We still can’t accept it, Just the thought of you makes us cry, We never even got the chance to say goodbye. Every picture, every letter, We don’t know if it will ever get better. So many things we never got to say, We never imagined you’d ever be so far away. You were our brother, And we loved you like no other. In our hearts you’ll always be, You’ll be our guide and help us see. We miss you with all of our hearts, We wish we never had to part. We know you’re always by our side, Forever, Cheryl, Brian, Randy and Susan

BULLOCK, Steven Wayne – In loving memory of a dear son who passed away August 22, 2012. I can’t forget that fateful day, You had to leave, you went away. A sadness filled me up inside, Emotions that I could not hide. Tears they came, sadness too, All my emotions just for you. Time will heal so I was told But time could never fill this hole. Here in my heart there is a place You’re always there, keeping me safe. It’s filled with love and happy times It’s never dark, your light it shines. In Heaven now you do reside, To watch over me with love and pride. I know one day we will meet again, Until we do just know how much I miss you, and LOVE you Always and forever. Mom and Dad and Family
PEPPER, Louanne (Donahue) – In loving memory of a beautiful wife and mom, August 22, 2011. Our lives go on without you, And nothing is the same, We have to hide our heartache, When someone speaks your name. Sad are the hearts that love you, Silent the tears that fall, Living our lives without you, Is the hardest part of all. You did so many things for all of us, Your heart was kind and true, And when we needed someone, We could always count on you. Those special years will not return, When we were all together, But with the love within our hearts, You will walk with us forever. Love and missing you always Love Ace, Sarah and Ace Jr.
STEVEN BULLOCK August 22, 2012 One year ago my love you went away I really wanted you to stay I pray and pray that you hear me now I have made so many mistakes without you holding my hand. If I could have just one more chance to hold you, to kiss you, To say to you “I MISS YOU BULLY” “I LOVE YOU BULLY” And always will. You’ll never be forgotten and every day I shed a tear. My heart is full of memories with great pride I speak your name. Life goes on without you, It will never be the same. You gave me everything that my heart desired. You left me your most precious gift. The one I will treasure the most. I see you in Rory’s eyes and the actions that he does. You will always be in my heart Steve Kerri ––––––––

MacDONALD - In memory of Janice Arlene MacDonald (nee Rutherford). Dear wife, mother, grandma, loving sister and aunt, who was taken from us August 23, 2012. Jan was to follow into sleep to the call of God’s clear voice, One year has passed, even though our grief remains. You can shed tears that she is gone Or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back. Or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left. Your heart can be empty because you cannot see her, Or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live the yesterdays, Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of the yesterdays. You can remember her and only that she’s gone, Or cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, Be empty and turn your back Or you can do what she’d want Smile for Jan, open your eyes, love and laugh for her She would want your life to go on. Rest in peace dear soul Never to be forgotten. Forever in our hearts Bill, Kimberly, Bradley, Lisa, Aaron, Kristin, Lauren, Sarah, Kayla, Cassandra and Alyssa

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.

Sadly missed Husband Elmer and daughters

He put His arms around you And lifted you to rest, God’s garden must be beautiful He always takes the best. He knew that you were in suffering, He knew you were in pain, He knew that you would never Get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb, So He closed your weary eyelids And whispered, “Peace be thine.” It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you The day God called you Home. Forever loved and missed by mother Mae, wife Louise, sons Steven and Michael and families

PEPPER (nee Donahue), Louanne – In loving memory of a dear daughter who passed away August 22nd, 2011. Also remembering your father Carl James Donahue, August 20, 1977. We are sad within our memory, Lonely are our hearts today; For the one we loved so dearly, Has forever been called away. We think of her in silence, No eye can see us weep. But many silent tears are shed, When others are asleep. Love mother Katherine
IN MEMORIAM MARTIN, William “Henry” Oct 8, 1931-Aug 25, 2012 Dad it’s been a whole year since you left us It doesn’t seem that you’re gone A Dad like you can never be replaced. Your memories are always there and never erased. They say time heals but it’s not the same Just memories, a picture and a smile that can’t be replaced. The emptiness of you not being here with us all is a sadness that will always remain in our hearts. We miss you and love you Lovingly and Always Susan, Cathy and Kevin

OBITUARY
OBITUARY
MARSHALL ALEXANDER CROWE B.A., LL.B., L.S.M. April 14, 1921 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; August 16, 2013 Son of William Johnston Crowe and Georgina Gertrude (nĂŠe Gammon). Predeceased by Doris Mary (nĂŠe Scanes), beloved wife of 61 years, his classmate at United College and energetic and devoted collaborator. Marshall and Doris were predeceased by their infant son William. Also predeceased by his parents and siblings, Gertrude Cochrane, Elliott, Ruth, Georgina , Florence Christiansen, John and Harry. Marshall was born on his parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; farm near Rossburn, Manitoba and died of congestive heart failure at his own farm near Portland, Ontario with his family around him. He is survived by his dear friend, Glenna Roberts and his and Dorisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; children, Tom, (Allison Shaw), Alison, Helen (David Pollard), Sheila (Brian Fukuzawa) and Abigail (Ron Sly, also deceased). His grandchildren: Jessica (Taro Murata), Caleb Yong (Juliana Ramirez-Herrera), Susan Crowe (Radek Zlamal) , David Berry (Samantha Robdrup), Catherine Crowe, Adam Berry and Ben Fukuzawa. His great-grandchildren: Jadyn and Isabelle Berry, Charlie and Lily Murata and Caroline Zlamal. Over the years, our parents opened their hearts and home to new Canadians whom we are proud to call family: Lawrence Le (Ping), Nick Ho (Irene), and Seumien Chen (Nobuo Sasaki) and their children and grandchildren: Innie Chen (Jordan Melzer and their son Emet), Yuli ChenSasaki, Jonathan and Rebecca Le, Ariana and Ashlyn Ho . Marshall attended Daniel McIntyre Collegiate in Winnipeg, obtained a B.A. in history and economics at United College, Winnipeg and an LL.B. at the University of Ottawa. He served in the Canadian Army during WW II and after the war as a Foreign Service OfďŹ cer, Department of External Affairs, including postings to New York (United Nations) and Moscow in the 40â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and 50â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. He resigned from the Foreign Service in 1961 and worked as the Economic Advisor, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. He returned to Ottawa in 1967 as Deputy Secretary to the Federal Cabinet, serving Prime Ministers Lester B. Pearson and Pierre Elliott Trudeau. He was later President and Chairman, Canada Development Corporation; Chairman, National Energy Board; President, M.A. Crowe Consultants; Director, Gulf-Mark Offshore; Counsel to Johnston and Buchan LLP and to Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP and a Bencher of the Law Society of Upper Canada. Marshall had many mentors in his career. He and Doris were both students of Arthur R.M. Lower and Arthur Phelps at United College. Marshall was guided as a junior Foreign Service OfďŹ cer by John Watkins and John Holmes. He never forgot his debt to these men and to the many colleagues and friends he was privileged to know over his life and career. Marshall and Doris raised cattle at the farm in Portland, partnering with good friends, Larratt and Paddy Higgins, Ross and Marion Stone and Eric Lawlor and were among a group of breeders who introduced the Dexter breed to Canada. They were also active in the beginning years of the Toronto French School; Marshall served on the Board of Directors and Doris helped to establish the ďŹ rst TFS school library. No words can adequately express our gratitude to the many wonderful caregivers, who supported Marshall and family. Thank-you Gloria, Susan, Penny, Faith, Linda, Kelly, Sheila, Elaine, Cyndal and Steven. Your gentle kindness, compassion and professionalism made it possible for us to keep Marshall at home, safe and comfortable and correcting our grammar until the end. We would like to express a special thanks to Susan Blue, for her kindness and devotion to both our parents over more than 20 years. Finally, we owe a great debt to the many physicians who assisted Marshall, including Dr. Susan Wilkinson and Dr. Kathy Wickens. A visitation is planned for Sunday, August 25, Scotlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Funeral Home, Elgin Ontario, 2-5 pm. (613) 3595555, www.scotlandfuneralhome.com, followed by an open house Sunday evening at the farm, 4421 Old Kingston Rd., Portland, (613) 272-2561. A memorial gathering will be held in Ottawa at a date and place to be announced. Donations in Marshallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory may be made to Friends of the Rideau, 1 Jasper Ave., Smiths Falls, Ont., K7A 4B5; (613) 283-5810, info@rideaufriends.com â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have neither eyes to see nor tongue to speak in this place but as the House is pleased to direct me, whose servant I am here.â&#x20AC;?

New Perth childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s librarian caps off busy summer of 4,000 books desmond.devoy@metroland.com
News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; While teachers and kids may be off in the summertime, for Rachel Warren, summer is prime time. Though Warren started as the Perth and District Union Libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s librarian on Jan. 1, she is just today (Aug. 22) wrapping up the end of a very hectic summer schedule, with a big party at the library. One of the biggest hurdles of the summer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which she is delighted to report she has cleared â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is the goal set by the summer reading club of 4,000 books. In fact, the goal was reached in early August, about three weeks ahead of schedule, though the tally continues to rise, with books still being counted. The summer programming has also been evolving, seeing magicians and scientists brought in to round out the books and crafts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Elizabeth Goldman (the chief librarian) thought of that,â&#x20AC;? said Warren, giving credit where it is due. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got plenty of arts stuff.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? By far one of the biggest attractions has been the visit from a parrot sanctuary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wow, that was wild,â&#x20AC;? she said in obvious amazement, still reeling from the memory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was amazing. They did a good showâ&#x20AC;Ś(those) people who rescue parrots,â&#x20AC;? and brought their winged friends in, as a way of
publicizing their new sanctuary at the old Rideau Regional Centre in Smiths Falls (now the Gallipeau Centre.) As though summer was not busy enough though, come fall, there will be supplemental school work help to provide. While the library does not have a homework club, it does have a 7/12 Club, which meets once a month, after school, which allows kids to engage in activities of their choice, like a Lego corner, craft corner, Wii games, reading corner, and even board games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can see the kids de-stress after school, like adults do after work, when they go somewhere fun,â&#x20AC;? she said, a departure from the image of an austere, silent setting, with musty old books. Using the 7/12 Club model, it will â&#x20AC;&#x153;provide the library experience for reading and for fun.â&#x20AC;? Warren had been working at the library for about three years before her ascension on New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, starting as a page, then a library assistant, then, last fall, job sharing with her predecessor, Susan Snyder. Warren was born in Peterborough, but moved at the age of one, because her father was an OPP officer. She moved around this great province quite a bit, to Barrie, Port Dover, KitchenerWaterloo, Kingston, and, eventually, Perth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like being an army brat,â&#x20AC;? she joked.
She attended St. Lawrence Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kingston campus where she studied to become a behavioural science technician. She has always worked in education, taking Early Childhood Education/resource teacher studies at St. Lawrence again, with an emphasis on people with special needs, and later getting her B.A. in psychology from the University of Waterloo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started out my career as an education assistant, then a counselor for adults with mental handicaps,â&#x20AC;? she said. After this, she moved to teach at the college level at St. Lawrence, before becoming a student support worker at St. John Catholic High School here in Perth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is always the shifting of gears, but, looking back, I see the continuum,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am the type of person who tends to change roles every decade.â&#x20AC;? She remembers thinking, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What do I want to do next?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Well, it happened that, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am a life-long lover of booksâ&#x20AC;Śthat was already there personally.â&#x20AC;? After looking at other employment options, â&#x20AC;&#x153;that was the one I really wanted to pursue.â&#x20AC;? On the practical side, her decision to move on was made easier, if you will, by the public boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announced downsizing. Her final course came through Mohawk College in Hamilton, Ont., when, through distance education, she earned a library
$10,000 in free upgrades throughout August. t. Our New Design Centre
technician diploma. While colleges and other schools usually house a library of some sorts, it was still a significant change of career for Warren. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a place where all of the people can come,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Information literacy will be another form of literacy. Libraries will play a role in that.â&#x20AC;? One way in which to get the
community involved is through outreach, and by â&#x20AC;&#x153;building on my predecessorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success. Her start was the early literacy program. That was her legacy. We want to build on that legacy.â&#x20AC;? Already, though she is only just entering her ninth month on the job, she is seeing changes on the horizon, which her educational background has prepared her for.

Students rocket-launch science component into Perth library summer program By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Where others would see a bunch of university students, last week, five lucky youngsters got to meet a real-life rocket scientist â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and a polar explorer, just for added measure. As part of a program from Carleton University called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Talk Science,â&#x20AC;? which brings the thrill of scientific discovery to young people, four students descended on the Perth and District Union Library on Thursday, Aug. 15, to take the young people to a galaxy far, far away â&#x20AC;&#x201C; alright, more like Mars. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still pretty cool. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to go on an adventure to Mars today,â&#x20AC;? said Adam Vigneron, who, along with Libby Sprigge and Sasha Zemskova are second-year graduate students at Carletonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. Their classmate Chris Nicol is a PhD candidate in the program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are students who like to talk to other students about science,â&#x20AC;? he explained to his young charges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I work on rockets and satellites,â&#x20AC;? added Vigneron. His friend Sasha had an equally cool job â&#x20AC;&#x201C; literally. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am a polar explorer, everything to do with cold,â&#x20AC;? said Zemskova.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s from Russia, so she loves everything cold!â&#x20AC;? joked Vigneron. With homeland pride, Zemskova told the children about how her fellow countryman, Yuri Gagarin, became the first person in space in 1961. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stay there a long time,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He went for one turn around the earth and he came back and it is lucky he was able to come back alive.â&#x20AC;? Upon returning to earth, Gagarin said that, â&#x20AC;&#x153;our earth is so beautiful. We have to do our best to share it.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The next place that we are looking to go is Mars,â&#x20AC;? said Vigneron. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a lot further away (than the moon.) We are sending robots there. Last summer, a robot landed on Mars. If robots land on Mars, they can send us back pictures.â&#x20AC;? The students then proceeded to tell the children other ways in which they are trying to get pictures of the red planet, and other colured planets too. Pointing to a picture of the Hubble telescope, Vigneron explained that â&#x20AC;&#x153;that telescope is the size of a school bus. When these things are that massive, we get really good photos.â&#x20AC;? The libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summer reading club has been expanded this summer beyond books, arts, and crafts, towards incorporating science â&#x20AC;&#x201C; explained at an age appropriate level, and with a bit of

humour thrown in. Detailing how the Mars Rover had to be parachuted on to Mars, with air bag casing surrounding it, hitting the surface of the planet at the speed of a car on the highway, Vigneron joked that, if you were inside the craft at the time, â&#x20AC;&#x153;you would need a barf bag.â&#x20AC;? The event ended with a demonstration of how long it takes messages to get from NASA control on earth to the Mars Rover, and back again. Using maps drawn by the children, a child would be sent out into the library to tell a student to move several paces in any one direction â&#x20AC;&#x201C; driving home the frustration of sending out directions that can take hours to be received and acted upon. While waiting back for word from Mars â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in this case, word from a student and university friend out in the upstairs books section â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Zemskova asked the kids about another aspect of space travel: aliens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you believe in aliens, in UFOs?â&#x20AC;? she asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know there are aliens out there! There are some people who claim that they have seen UFOsâ&#x20AC;Śwe donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know. (But) we want to send them messages, that we want to be friends with them, that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want them to attack us.â&#x20AC;?

This cat should have been spayed.
Spaying/Neutering prevents the births of cats and dogs for whom no homes can be found. In Canada, tens of thousands of cats and dogs are put to death annually in pounds and shelters because there are not enough homes for them. And how many more die on the streets from sickness, injury and starvation? PLEASE SPAY AND NEUTER YOUR ANIMALS.

Miss Canada IV steals hearts, Midnight Miss brings thunder from down under
Photos by DESMOND DEVOY
Advance Australia Fair: At left, Australian Graham Coddington proudly stands at the front of his boat, the Midnight Miss. Above, A couple stand hand-in-hand, in thrall with the raw wooden power of the Miss Canada IV. At right, Andrew Leaver, 6, emerges from the deep seats of the Miss Diablo 3 ship. Sports – The Rideau Regatta headed northwest last week, extending its festivities by a day, to visit Perth, a place which, in years gone by, once hosted its own regatta. “This basin hosted an annual regatta, the highlight of which was to win the coveted rowing trophy,” said town crier Brent McLaren in a booming voice in the parking lot of the Crystal Palace on Friday Aug, 16. In 1897, the Rideau Regatta started up, and continues to this day. While there were many guests from all over the continent, and as far away as Australia, there was one Canadian icon standing right behind McLaren who, despite her years, still holds up well – the Miss Canada IV, a craft which, “in 1950, shattered the 200 mile per hour speed barrier and earned its place in Canadian boat-building history,” said McLaren. Speaking more generally of the engineering marvels arrayed around him in the parking lot, McLaren said that “we salute a symbol of our country…(powerboats which are) powerful, innovative, majestic, and ready to take on the world.” Coun. Jim Graff, whose own craft was on display, had been helping to organize not only the Perth portion of the event, but the regatta itself, since last October, along with the regatta’s commodore, Scott Cameron, and their volunteers. “This is the first time we are doing this with the Rideau Regatta,” in nearby Rideau Ferry, said Graff, speaking on behalf of town council, and Mayor John Fenik, who would be helming Perth’s entry into the cardboard boat race the next day. The Miss Canada IV was one of the big draws on the day, giving spectators a chance to come closer to the hull than they would in the water. “We’re going to do a great show for you this weekend,” said the craft’s res-
toration coordinator, Jamie Smith. “It’s a thrill for all of us to be participating in this event…to be here right now.” Smith explained how the craft returned to the waters near Gravenhurst, Ont., on July 9, 2011, after it had been removed from the Cheese and Agricultural Museum in Ingersoll, Ont. on June 25 of that year. While the craft hit more than 200 miles per hour in Picton, Ont., back in 1950, “we will not do that tomorrow,” Smith said with a laugh. “We are still in the testing phase. You can never tell what will happen,” following years of ongoing reconstruction and renovation on the craft. “This wonderful Canadian icon, is a part of Canadian history,” Smith added. While Miss Canada IV certainly won the hearts of the hometown crowd, Graham Coddington of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, brought some thunder from down under with his craft, the Midnight Miss, certainly a crowd favourite. “Of all of the boats that are there, this black rocket from Australia…(is something) to see shooting across the water. You’ll see some speed and some turkey tails (from this craft),” said Graff. The boat spent two-and-a-half months being shipped from Australia, and arrived in North America on July 5. Its first event was in Valleyfield, Quebec, for that town’s 75th annual regatta, before heading to Waterford, Michigan. Perth is its third stop, before making its way to Salina, Ohio, and then ending in Wheeling, West Virginia. “It was very well received up there,” said Coddington, who had travelled here with his wife Kerry, and his sisterin-law. “It’s just a little different (from other boats). Not sure if it is the colour or what.” The boat will stay in dry dock rather than return to Australia as the Coddington’s are looking to sell the vintage hydroplane, which was built in America in 1972. It went down under in 1985 where it was bought by Peter Knight of New
Zealand. The boat was later bought by Gina Campbell, the daughter of the late Sir Donald Campbell, who set seven world water speed records between 1955 and 1964, according to the Daily Mail. She renamed the boat Bluebird, the name of her father’s boats, and set the world water speed record for women in the craft in 1990. In later years, though, the boat fell into disrepair, sitting in a shed for about a decade. In 2003, the Coddingtons’ bought it and embarked on 10 months worth of restorations, renovations, and repairs, with the help of family friend Ian Dobbie. “We made it strong, to being a very safe boat,” said Coddington. When they took ownership of the boat, it had no engine, and was simply a bare bones outline with a trailer. They even had to rebuild the gas tanks. Once the boat was water-worthy again, they were able to race it in Queensland, until 2010, when the Australian power boating authority ruled that “every hydroplane had to have a fully-enclosed driver’s cockpit and, for a vintage craft, we couldn’t do that.” Hence their decision to bring the craft back “home” to North America. The boat will be held in dry dock at the Rideau Regatta’s sister town, Clayton, New York. Coddington added that “we’ll probably come back,” to the Perth area. While the Miss Canada IV and Midnight Miss were known for setting world records, and winning competitions, Ian Bruce admits that his boat just can’t compete – but it stands out regardless. “It’s a little different,” he admitted, of his 100 per cent electrical boat. “There’s so much battery involved, I can’t have a hatchback,” for extra passenger seating. But he still believes that while his boat can only go a maximum of 44 km/h, while other boats in the parking lot could easily go between 50 and 100 km/h, his boat is the wave of the future. THE EMC - P18 - Thursday, August 22, 2013
“There are many, many lakes now, specifically in Quebec, but all over, like Switzerland and Austria, (where) you can’t put fossil-fuelled boats on lakes,” he said. “I’m a sail boat builder, all my life, and we did it as a sideline. It’s all
we do now. I’m hoping that it will catch on.” While his craft may be slower, “this boat does everything a gas boat does. I can water ski behind it,” he said.

Mother Nature entertains menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s night golfers Sports - The Aug. 13 Tuesday Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Twilight Golf league was sponsored by A & B Ford. Brad Hasler represented A & B and brought many great prizes for the 78 golfers. Mother Nature was playing with us again. She started the night with a couple of thunder claps and lightening, but came through with a very nice evening after the initial teasing. The format was teams of four playing best ball, which means each golfer plays their own ball and only the best score is recorded when the hole is completed. There was a 3 under par 33 on the front by Rob Geroux, Jim Buker, Long John Campbell, and Steve Dowdall. Robâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dad, Larry Geroux, was along to keep them company. Jim Buchanan, Fred Parks, Scott Blair, and Richard
Crowe scored a 2 under 34 on the back. Long drives in the various age categories were by Craig Wormald, Ray Kilpatrick, Mike Creighton, Phil Aston, Kevin Kinch, and Cory McNamee. Closest to the pin prizes were picked up by Wane Johnson and Richard Crowe. Lanark Landing donated a gift certificate for closest to the pin on #15 each week. Burns Jewelers has a draw at the season-ending tournament for a $500 watch and the closest to the pin on #8 each week earns an entry to the draw. Burns Jewelers also sponsor a $500 gift certificate for anyone who aces #8 during Tuesday Twilight. Pierre Hofstadder and Canadian Tire sponsor a $500 gift certificate for a hole in one on No. 3 during the Tuesday Twilight. Submitted by Bob Burtch
