Police seek witnesses to Perth hit-and-run

News – OPP are on the hunt for the driver of a vehicle who hit a 25-year-old male just before 3 a.m. this past Saturday. The stretch of Gore Street West between D’Arcy and North Streets was closed off from early that morning until after 7 p.m. as police conducted their investigation. The investigation, according to eye witnesses, appeared to centre around 19 Gore St. W., with the sidewalk on that side of the street being cordoned off for many hours, and even the back staircase to the upstairs apartments covered in police tape. As of Monday morning, Aug. 25, a spot of blood was still

visible between a driveway and a parking meter on the road where police centred their investigation. The Lanark County OPP responded to a call of a pedestrian having been struck by a vehicle at 2:50 a.m. on Aug. 23. The victim was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The investigation is ongoing, under the direction of the OPP’s Acting Det. Insp. Dave Robinson, of the criminal investigation branch. Anyone with information is asked to contact Lanark County OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

News – Should it come as any surprise that a town that boasts five independent book stores should be home to a disproportionate number of writers? Not really, and that reality was very much in evidence at the inaugural Pertharea writing contest awards, held at the Crystal Palace on Friday, Aug. 22. This was the very first event of the Ottawa International Writers’ Festival – Perth Chapter. For the past several years, the festival’s organizers had been “talking about getting out of the city and doing some rural outreach,” explained board member Lee Ann Eckhardt Smith in welcoming the award winners to the event. But the question then became where in eastern Ontario could such a spin-off event be successfully held? “Let’s do Perth first,” was the unanimous reply from the board. “Yeah, we can do it,” she said. “There is great writing going on here.” Everything just seemed to fit – including having local authors sell their wares at the Perth Farmers’ Market the next morning. “I love the idea of getting locallygrown produce and locally grown writing,” joked Smith. As for the awards themselves, “this is one of the first things

we wanted to do here in Perth. This is (also) a first for the Ottawa International Writers’ Festival. We have never had a writing contest before.” With so much to organize at venues that were new to them, they were able to lean on the talents of the Perth Writers’ Guild to act as judges on the works of fiction and non-fiction, which had to fly in under 1,500 words. “Us writers, we talk in terms of words,” explained Smith, adding that that would be about six pages, double spaced. They were further divided down in to adult and student sections, and they received a surprising 30 entries. In the adult, non fiction category, the winners were: First place: Mary Zintel for “The Grey Ghost.” Second place: Louise McDiarmid for “What Kind of Legacy.” In the adult, fiction category, the winners were: First place: Gena Gibson for “Letters to Cara.” Second place: Joan Sonnenburg for “The Best Is Yet to Be.” In the student, fiction category, the winners were: First place: MacKenzie Green for “Paper, Glass, and Smoke.” See AUTHORS page P12

Community – The tranquil grounds of Angel’s Roost Organic Spa provide the perfect backdrop for the latest Lanark County Interval House (LCIH) fundraiser Saturday, Sept. 6. The spa, located outside of Carleton Place, will be the setting for the ‘Loving You’ Personal Wellness Day, enticing visitors to take a spiritual journey for the day. From 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., enjoy an abundance of activities, including yoga sessions under the shade of trees and lush grass, have a spiritual reading done in the enchanted orchard, take in a self-defense class or chat with a personal trainer about how to improve your fitness regimen. Reiki demonstrations will be offered and guests can venture inside the spa to treat themselves to a mini-massage, foot pampering or reflexology. “It’s becoming a journey of wellness for us and it’s so inspiring to be able to showcase the types of services,” noted Heather Whiting, LCIH’s fundraising and volunteer co-ordinator. “If you walk around, there’s beautiful lush, green grass, the orchard, ponds and garden. It’s a journey like the journey the women and children we serve go on.” “(The event) has really taken on an energy of its own,” she continued, adding that the day isn’t just for women, but women and children as well. “Everyone’s so enthusiastic and we’ve added a bit of special flair and services to make it a wellness day.” According to Kathy Blair, owner of Angel’s Roost Organic Spa, located at 1731 Seventh Line Road in Beckwith Township, the work LCIH does in the community needs to be supported. “It’s a really important organization to be able to support,” she said. “A lot of people weren’t even aware we had this type of organization (LCIH)...We just really want people to get involved in the awareness of Interval House and that it’s there for anybody who needs it.” Blair said that for the past two years at her previous location on the Seventh Line, she partnered with Ann Gratton on a special tarot card reading event for the organization, but this year, they chose to take it a little further. “This year, it’s really taken off and all of the proceeds will go to Interval House,” Blair stressed.

Ema Lee Fashions: 11 years and counting

Advertorial

It was a hot June night in 2002 and everything was quiet in the small hamlet of Balderson. No one knew that in one house, there was a deal going down! Two men sat facing each other at the kitchen table in Mr. George Myers’ home. The conversation was quick and right to the point. Would Mr. Myers sell his old general store or not? That was the question. The sun was going down. The clocks on his wall ticked to their own tock. The silence had been broken. Finally a deal had been made on the back of a cigarette pack. The transformation began on the old general store and eleven years later Ema Lee Fashions is still a thriving, successful business. It is located seven kilometers north of Perth on Hwy 511 and open seven days a week. Gerry McSweeney and Emily Desjardine had no idea that the business would become such a huge success. “We are known all over for being the largest ladies clothing store in the Ottawa Valley and for being a destination shopping spot” Desjardine said. “The store is also known for it’s plethora of ladies apparel, swim suits, purses and men’s shirts”. KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE TEMP!

Adjoining Ema Lee Fashions in the “Downtown Balderson Complex” you will find Balderson Fine Foods, well known for its homemade ice-cream and the Anne and Vanessa’s Bakery. Since their last anniversary Emily and Gerry are very happy to announce and welcome the new proprietor and trained Chef Adam Porter of the Balderson Café. Adam’s theory: “Our philosophy is simple freshness is our commitment”. The Café is open from 10:00am to 5:00pm and the response from all of the customers has been extremely complimentary and positive. Emily and Gerry highly recommend that you drop in for lunch and don’t forget to try his homemade desserts…you won’t be disappointed! Come and discover Downtown Balderson!

Helping sister out According to the LPGA site, Brooke is helping out her big sister Brittany out in California this week. Brittany, who has worked as Brooke’s caddie in a number of big tournaments this season, will have her sister on her bag as she competes in LPGA Qualifying School. Her final event of the summer will be representing Canada at the World Amateur Team Championships in Japan. She will be leading a strong Canadian squad that includes Augusta James of Bath, Ont. and Brittany Marchand of Orangeville, Ont. Asked what it will be like to return home after such a successful summer, Brooke she’s excited to return to school where she will be completing Grade 12 at SFDCI. “It’ll be cool and nice to see my friends again and get back to Smiths Falls. It’ll be nice,” she said.

The Smiths Falls native opened the championship at the London Hunt & Country Club with a two under-par 70 on Thursday and followed that with an equally impressive one under 71 on Friday to make the cut by a comfortable margin. After another 71 on Saturday, a round during which she played with LPGA star Lexi Thompson of the United States, she entered Sunday’s final round in a tie for 41st at -4. Playing that day with long-time LPGA veteran Laura Davies, she opened with a rare double bogey on the first hole. But Henderson bounced back to play even par the rest of the way, recording two birdies and two bogeys – to go with 13 pars – over the next 17 holes. Her four-day total of 286 (-2) was the best of the field of Canadians in the tournament. It was two strokes better than Jennifer Ha, the only other amateur to make it to the weekend, and one ahead of two-time defending champion Lydia Ko. In an interview posted on the LPGA website (www.lpga.com), Henderson said she’s pleased to have made the cut in all four LPGA Tour events (including two majors) in which she’s played this year. “… it’s a huge learning experience and you learn so much being able to play the weekend because it’s different than the first two days, and you get to play with the best players. It’s a great experience and I’m very grateful to have been in the position.” The winner of the 2014 Canadian Pacific Women’s Open was So Yeon Ryu of South Korea. She shot four rounds in the 60s and finished at 265 (-23), two shots better than Na Yeon Choi.

Project enhances fish habitat on Dalhousie Lake News – Several conservation partners are working together to enhance fish habitat on the Mississippi Watershed. Thanks to $39,424 in funding from Fisheries and Oceans Canada, along with partner support, two walleye spawning beds will be enhanced and fish habitat structures in the form of tree/brush bundles will be placed in Dalhousie Lake. As well, 10 shoreline properties will be stabilized where runoff, erosion, vegetation removal and nutrient loading have affected fish habitat. Numerous volunteers are participating in the project, and partners include the Centre for Sustainable Watersheds, Lanark County Stewardship Council, Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority, Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, Dalhousie Lake Association and Lanark & District Fish & Game Conservation Club, along with cooperation from Lanark County, Lanark Highlands and landowners around the lake. “The project will lead to improvements to Ontario’s recreational fisheries and water quality by naturalizing shorelines and providing fish habitat,” explained Barbara King, Centre for Sustainable Watersheds’ (CSW) executive director. “Lakes in this area are characterized by a loss of native fisheries and declining quality of warmwater sport fisheries, most importantly the walleye, northern pike and bass fisheries. Waterfront development has played a role, and our goal is to restore shorelines and

enhance fish habitat and spawning areas.” Native species planting is planned for Dalhousie, Canonto and Patterson lakes, with shoreline vegetation to provide shading and a runoff buffer to promote spawning and rearing habitats and increase productivity for warmwater fish species such as walleye, smallmouth and largemouth bass, northern pike, yellow perch, crappie and panfish. “We plan to enhance two existing walleye spawning beds by adding appropriate rock material on Dalhousie Lake to increase walleye productivity,” said Wendell Crosbie of the Lanark & District Fish & Game Conservation Club. “The club is assisting in the spawning bed improvements and we’re working with the lake association to monitor their use. Work on the spawning beds is tentatively scheduled for Friday, Sept. 12 at the Lavant Mill Road Bridge at the west end of Dalhousie Lake. With the cooperation of the Lanark Highlands Township and their road superintendent, Dave Ennis, the bridge will be closed for the day. On Saturday, Sept. 13, the southbound lane of the bridge at County Road 8 at the east end of Dalhousie Lake will be closed. A large crane will be used at both bridges to lift buckets of river stone (160 tons) to enhance the walleye spawning beds. Cottage development has resulted in loss of water structures as cottagers remove debris from in front

of their properties. “Later in August we will create brush/tree bundles that will be sunk and anchored at depths that won’t impede boat traffic,” said Franziska von Rosen, Lanark County Stewardship Council co-chair. “These in-water structures, often called ‘fishsticks,’ provide excellent nursery habitat for many fish species and for invertebrates that are essential for a healthy aquatic ecosystem.” “Dalhousie Lake is a popular fishing destination and shoreline development has put pressure on the fish population,” said Judy Hall, Dalhousie Lake Association president. “Project partners are working with willing landowners to restore their shorelines. It will benefit our lake by increasing the quality of fish habitat for numerous species and their prey fish in order to maintain or enhance the sport fishery here.” Eight properties have been identified for restoration and have had a habitat assessment completed, and two more are needed. Property owners interested in getting involved should contact CSW at 613-264-1244. CSW is a federally incorporated non-profit organization and registered Canadian charity committed to providing programs in communities across the country to engage and help shoreline owners enhance and protect the health of lakes and rivers.

Allison Shannon speaker at Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society’s Sept. 3 meeting Lifestyle – The Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society invites you to its Sept. 3 meeting, featuring Allison Shannon of Sun Harvest Greenhouses, who will speak on old and new vegetable varieties and trends in growing vegetables. Sun Harvest is Kingston’s leading independent greenhouse and garden centre. Allison, with husband, Greg, graduated from the University of Guelph’s Agricultural Sciences program and started out with a small mixed farming operation. In 2002, after two years of research, they began growing pesticide-free tomatoes hydroponically. Their vision was to be a local grower of great tasting, fresh produce, sold directly from their greenhouse store and supplied to local grocery stores in the Kingston area April through December. They believed they could grow a better tasting tomato and market it locally – a risky decision, considering that the food business is a fiercely competitive, global marketplace, and “local

food” at that time was a relatively new concept. Since 2002, Sun Harvest has become known throughout southeastern Ontario for their tomatoes. Seasonally, they also offer cucumbers, corn, raspberries, asparagus, lettuce and potatoes. They have also expanded their product line to include annuals and perennials, and have become container garden specialists in the process, offering gardeners unique specimens. Join the society on Wednesday, Sept. 3 at 7:15 p.m. at the Portland Community Hall, 24 Water Street. The meeting is free to society members, however, membership is only $15 a year, for eight meetings, April to November. Admission for non-members is $5. For more information on the Sept. 3 meeting and other upcoming events of the society, check out its website at https://sites.google. com/site/rideaulakeshorticultural/.

Letter to the Editor

Historian seeking help with Almonte Lawn Bowling Club history DEAR EDITOR: The Almonte Lawn Bowling Club is trying to fill in the gaps in its 103-year history. Established in 1911, there is unfortunately, very little written or pictorial documentation of the club’s past century of play. Many people have bowled at the club since its beginning and we appeal to anyone with any form of documentation or pictures to help us capture the past. Perhaps you have your own information or know friends or relatives

who may have information as they once bowled at the club. Anyone able to assist is requested to contact Al Jones at 613-2569997. Documents and pictures may be copied for the club’s history album and the originals retained by their owner. Your assistance is most appreciated. Al Jones Almonte Lawn Bowling Club historian

Commentary

Soon the bells will ring Editorial – By this time next week, area students will be just about to finish their first week back at school. It’s hard to believe that two months of summer vacation has flown by so quickly. It seems as if it was just yesterday, students were donning their caps and gowns to participate in graduation ceremonies. It probably doesn’t help that there’s been so much inconsistency in the weather this summer. Whatever the case, September is a few short days away. And just as parents ready their children for back to school by venturing out on shopping trips to stock up on new clothes and supplies, it wouldn’t hurt if we all had a refresher course in safety when it comes to school buses. The Ontario Provincial Police are reminding motorists that buses will be back on the road Sept. 2. Although it shouldn’t take reminding, many motorists fail to remember that it is against the law not to stop when a bus has its red light signals flashing. Perhaps the fact that the minimum fine is $400 will be enough of a deterrent. Pedestrian traffic will be increased in community safety zones as well, as many children walk to school. Be sure to slow down in those zones where signs are posted and be on alert for children darting out between parked cars, as well as leave for work five to 10 minutes earlier to account for the extra presence of buses on the road. Just as children have to make an adjustment going back to school after two months off, motorists also have to adapt their schedules.

Mother hardly gave the idea a moment’s consideration (she was busy cooking dandelion greens, a favourite dish of Aunty’s), and said she saw no reason at all why the couch couldn’t be moved into the main kitchen.

the wire couch into the coolest room in the house, and we hauled in the thin felt fold-over mattress. We didn’t even bother with sheets, so glad were we to have someplace to sleep other than the narrow creton couch! And a cool place at that! The walls of that old house were paper thin. And before we fell asleep, Audrey and I heard Aunty get up several times to use the chamber pot, walk across the floor to the window, and let out long and purposeful sighs. She also had the habit of talking to herself...almost whispers, but loud enough that we could hear her from our couch downstairs. “Whew..hot...boy... whew,” we heard long into the night. When Aunty came downstairs in the morning, she didn’t look at all happy. The house had been cleared of Father and the boys, and Mother was bustling around the kitchen, already thinking of the next meal for the table.

And she was fanning herself with a copy of the Renfrew Mercury. “Sure is hot upstairs,” she said. “Not a bit of air anywhere...hardly slept a wink.” Mother, Audrey and me were in the summer kitchen getting into the day’s work. Audrey who was already clearing up the breakfast dishes, and setting out the dish pan of hot soapy water on the table, while Mother bustled about filling a soup bowl with porridge for Aunty, gave me a poke while passing me, “I’ll give you a nickel if you tell Aunty that’s what we call character building in this here house.” Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Scotland’s independence vote rapidly approaching on Sept. 18

By Jeff maguire

majority of Scots, the gap is narrowing. There is relentless pressure from “Yes” campaigners who believe Scotland will flourish economically and politically if they can emerge from the large shadow cast by Great Britain. Unlike the still smouldering debate in Canada over Quebec separation, the situation in Scotland is not about language. Although Gaelic is still spoken by some people in Scotland there has been a sharp decline in the number of Gaelic speakers over the past 50 years. English is the language of choice, although listening to Scottish nationalists it is clear Scotland and England are divided by a common language. Obviously as visitors we stay out of

the independence debate when we are in Comrie. It is their issue not ours. Still, I have been party to several discussions on the matter during our many visits. It is clear loyalties are divided. I vividly remember standing at the bar of a Comrie public house one day a few years ago, savoring a pint of nut brown ale with a friend. He in turn introduced me to a younger fellow who slid his glass along the bar and joined our conversation. At one point I made the mistake of using the term “UK” which my friend, a nationalist, didn’t like. “I hate the term UK,” he spat. “But Jimmy, we are in the UK,” his younger friend replied, giving me a sly wink. I quickly changed the subject! Last week, in an email exchange with our Comrie friends, I conducted my own mini poll. It is anything but scientific and my correspondents will remain nameless to protect the innocent! Based on my many discussions with people in the Highlands over the years I was surprised to discover the majority of our friends and acquaintances in Comrie

favour the longstanding union with Great Britain. I thought most backed Alex Salmond, the First Minister of Scotland and the leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP). Salmond is the leading proponent of Scottish independence. I wasn’t surprised by the position put forward by a lady friend of ours. She is from England but married a Scot and has lived in Comrie for many years. She will be voting “No.” But she’s concerned the vote will be a close one. Like so many of us today she is skeptical of big government but feels the current system remains the best option. “I hope that it’s a ‘No’ vote,” she wrote. “I’m afraid that for me it’s a case of ‘better the devil you know than the devil you don’t’. I like the slogan ‘Proud to be Scottish, Delighted to be United.’ That just about sums it up for me,” she outlined. A major concern going in to the referendum is how an independent Scotland would fare economically when matched against the “heavy hitters” in Europe? The 2011 census revealed the See COLUMN page 19

Are you new to the neighbourhood? Had a baby? Planning a wedding?

Last December, however, an agreement was finalized between the government of Scotland and the government of the UK which will see a vote on Scottish independence take place next month. The referendum is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 18. National unity in Great Britain faces its sternest test in modern history. Scots will be asked a straight forward question. “Should Scotland be an independent country?” Yes or no. It remains unclear how things will play out, should there be a “Yes” decision in September? But proponents of independence say it’s the only way Scotland will secure the powers it needs. Based on what I have read and heard the “Yes side” is rather vague about how such an arrangement will work.

Lifestyle – A few days ago an acquaintance called seeking advice on travel in Scotland and in particular some details on what to see and where to stay in Comrie. The village, on the edge of the Scottish Highlands, has been twinned with Carleton Place where we live since 1992 and the relationship continues to flourish. I am very familiar with Scotland and in particular Comrie. My wife and I have visited the country numerous times and we love it there. Kathleen and I are both members of the Carleton Place Sister City Committee, which I currently chair. During our time on the committee we have become even more knowledgeable about Scotland and we have also been fortunate enough to establish close friendships with a number of people in Comrie. In 2012 we were part of a local delegation, headed by Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc and her husband Frank that took part in ceremonies marking the 20th anniversary of the Carleton Place-Comrie twinning. It was a very special event. Many of the first settlers in our part of Lanark County emigrated from the Perthshire Region of Scotland (including Comrie) early in the 19th Century. When my friend called recently asking for travel information, I asked how long he and his wife will be in Scotland. “We’re going for two weeks. We leave Sept. 13,” he replied. “You’ll be there for the referendum,” I observed. “That’s right,” he said excitedly. “I hadn’t even thought about that, Jeff!” I have referred to Scotland as a “country.” Although most Scots are fiercely patriotic about their ancient land the reality is that Scotland, like its near neighbours Wales and Northern Ireland, is a province of the United Kingdom. The centre of government for the UK is in London. While Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, is also home to the Scottish Parliament the real power base for the region remains in England’s capital city.

But just as Salmond says ‘Oh yes we will.’ Montreal residents decided the

last Quebec referendum in 1995, people in Scotland’s two main cities, Glasgow and Edinburgh, will no doubt determine the outcome of next month’s vote. As I mentioned recent polls show the majority in Scotland favour the status quo. That is partly due to the economic climate in Europe which is so unpredictable. The Brits resisted the move to join the common currency (the Euro) and stuck with the GBP. That has left them in a better position than most European Union countries as the Euro continues to teeter. Standing alone I feel Scotland, with such a small population, would be a lightweight on the world scene. That concern has even patriotic Scots wondering if independence is the right road for their country. Other Scottish politicians are doing their best to convince their restless countrymen that

the Act of Union (circa 1707), which created modern Britain, is worth preserving. Using a non-threatening approach they are emphasizing the positive points of the linkage, including of course the likelihood of increased economic clout within a united Britain. The old adage “there is strength in numbers” is being trotted out regularly during the current campaign. It is true that Scots are a highly intelligent people. Have you read the book, “How the Scots Invented the Modern World?” If not you should. Arthur Herman’s book makes compelling reading. Personally I think Scots are smart enough to do the right thing next month and remain in a union that, while far from perfect, has too many good points to push aside.

LAWS plans gigantic bake sale Sept. 20 at Carambeck Community Centre

This week’s featured pets Spike Not so long ago, Spike walked along with one of the dogs and a LAWS dog walker on Glenview Road and happily walked himself in the door at our shelter. Spike chose himself a comfy cat bed at the reception area and here he was; our newest Casanova boy. Spike is charming everybody who meets him with his cuddles, good looks, spectacular eyes and special fur marking on his back. He’s so very loving and is loved back by all of whom he meets. He holds no grudges to whoever tossed him out of the car (witnessed by one of LAWS neighbours) as, apparently, he was no longer wanted. Spike is about five-yearsold, a larger breed boy and is now available to be taken to his forever home.

Deanna Hello there, Deanna here. Just noticed a write up about my kids. My son Diablo already found a loving home and my Dina and Derrick went to a pet store to be placed up for adoption. It would be my dream to see them go together. As for myself, sigh, I am still here at LAWS keeping myself pretty. I am a tiny one-year-old brown/black white cat. They say it’s hard to believe I already have three babies. Well that’s not going to happen again, the vet took care of that. I love people as they like to cuddle with me, and all the belly rubs you get when they pick you up. Can’t wait for more, please come and meet me soon, I am worth the trip! Fluffy Let me introduce myself to you: I am a woolly, very hairy white female cat. I guess that’s why they named me Fluffy. I was used to having a very loving home but upon

the arrival of a new baby who suffered from me being around, I had to be sent to this place. I think they say I am at LAWS the animal shelter in Smiths Falls? Whatever, here I am with two other cats in a large run sort of snoozing the day away. What else is there to do if you’re already a senior cat. I am 12-years-old, healthy and still full of life. Sir Charles A very handsome Russian Blue mix with stunning eyes.

With his slim build and 2.5years he’s a funny character. He’s picky as to whom he chooses to be his friend, cats as well as people. They say he’s unpredictable at times. Therefore a family with no other cats and no small children would be preferred for Sir Charles who can be very loving, too. He’s a polydactyl cat, meaning he comes with extra toes, that’s makes him more special. He’s been at LAWS since March and it’s time for him to find that special home.

Honey Come and play with me! I love it! This honey of a Labrador/Retriever mix matches her name honey – sweet and gorgeously sleek. She’s a strong and powerful girl who still needs to learn more about her basic commands on as well as off leash. She’s a large heavier girl and in her excitement, when being taken for a walk, will jump and might push you over if you’re not strong enough or small build. That’s why we think she needs a leader with a firm hand who has the time and the patience to continue to train her. She’s somewhat reactive to other animals, therefore a home with no other pets and no small children would be best for Honey.

News – Lanark County is the Maple Syrup Capital of Ontario, and now it is home to a number of maple businesses that have been designated as customer service leaders in the region. Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization’s OHvation Customer Service Designation Program gives businesses an opportunity to make a commitment to providing excellent customer service. Earlier this year, 13 local maple businesses achieved the designation. “Customer service plays an integral role in building a competitive tourism industry, and OHTO is committed to improving the quality of service delivery across the region,” explains Stephanie Hessel, OHTO’s tourism development and industry relations coordinator. Lanark County is within one of six regions that make up Ontario’s Highlands which, in turn, is one of 13 regional tourism organizations created by the provincial government as a way to increase tourism to Ontario. OHTO covers a large part of eastern Ontario, including the counties of Frontenac, Haliburton, Hastings, Lanark, Lennox and Addington, and Renfrew. “OHvation gives participants a framework to build a culture of service excellence into their businesses and become designated and recognized as a customer service leader,” Hessel explained. The program provides training and access to helpful resources, includes a self-evaluation tool and gives the opportunity for designation through a mystery shop evaluation. The maple businesses earning the OHvation designation include Balderson Fine Foods, Coutts Country Flavours, Dorian Heights Maple Products, Fortune Farms Maple Sugar Bush, Ottawa Valley Fudge (The Cheddar Stop), Paul’s Maple Products, Providence Point Maple Syrup, Stead’s Maple Syrup, Stone Cellar, Swallowtail Farm & Pottery, Thompsontown Maple Products, Village Treats, and Wheelers Pancake House and Sugar Camp. “Achieving the OHvation designation is just one more way our local maple producers and retailers can enhance the wonderful experiences our visitors to Lanark County already receive,” says Marie White, Lanark County Tourism manager. “We extend our congratulations to these businesses and thank them for their commitment to customer service.” Tourism-related businesses interested in the OHvation program can apply online at http://ohto.ca/initiatives/ ohvation/ to receive a resource kit and, if interested, a complimentary mystery shop. Submitted by the County of Lanark.

Freeman says she has been welcomed with open arms by locals and tourism operators in the region, who have introduced her to true rural spirit and played an integral part in suggesting which small town treasures and hidden gems to explore. “Each community I visit offers something unique, has a different pace of life, a distinct culture and a new story to tell,” she says. “I encour-

age everyone in Ontario’s Highlands to show their small town pride by suggesting new places that I can share with travellers from the city.” Suggestions can be made by using #OHletsgo on social media. To participate in the road trip and promote Ontario’s Highlands, the OHTO also asks tourism operators to share the hashtag with their summer visitors, who can enter to win a GoPro HERO3+ camera by sharing their travel photos and Ontario’s Highlands experiences using #OHletsgo. Visitors can also enter to win one of three “Great Escape” road trips by visiting ohletsgo.ca and voting on their favourite rural escape before Aug. 31. About OHTO The Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization (OHTO) is a not-forprofit organization mandated by the Province of Ontario to increase tourism within the counties of Haliburton, Lanark, and Renfrew and portions of Frontenac, Hastings, and Lennox and Addington.

News – When Carly Freeman signed on to become a social media brand ambassador in Ontario’s Highlands, she knew the job would put her in some wonderfully unfamiliar situations. But the Humber College Public Relations graduate and self-proclaimed city slicker didn’t anticipate that she would find herself high-fiving other tourists after completing a nerve-jangling walk across a suspension bridge nestled high in the trees; swimming through a perfectly calm lagoon while dressed in a shining gold, spandexlike mermaid tail; or paddling a 34foot replica Voyageur canoe next to a couple of guides dressed from head to toe in beaver fur, just like 1800s fur traders. “I am having a blast exploring the unexpected, quirky and surprising in Ontario’s Highlands this summer,” says Freeman. “Coming from Toronto, I never imagined that I would encounter so many jaw-dropping moments right in my backyard. My arm hairs have literally been standing up on ends since I began this adventure.” Freeman has been on the road since May, taking part in a “Great Escape” road trip across Ontario’s Highlands, which spans from the Halibur-

Perth challenges Smiths Falls to ALS ice bucket challenge Desmond Devoy and Stacey Roy

Community – A Perth business owner is challenging fellow businesses, and the whole community, to challenge Smiths Falls for ice bucket bragging rights. Sharon Cavanagh, who took the challenge on Monday, Aug. 25 in front of her Wilson Street store, Trichology Stylists, is calling on all members of the community to meet at Stewart Park on Sunday, Sept. 14, at 1 p.m. to try to beat the record attempt being made the day before in Smiths Falls, at 11:30 a.m. at Lower Reach Park. Smiths Falls is hoping to set the world record for the most ice bucket challenge participants doing their icy diligence at the same time, which will then be posted on YouTube and Facebook, with a challenge going out to neighbouring municipalities – something Perth is taking up with glee. While Smiths Falls may hold the record for about 24 hours, Perth will be ready and waiting to snatch it away. In fairness to Smiths Falls, by Monday, approximately 60 people, from politicians to business leaders and regular residents, had confirmed that they would be taking part in the Sept. 13 challenge. That date was chosen because it folds in nicely with the annual ALS fundraising walk, taking place that same day, at the same location. Already, Perth Mayor John Fenik has gotten an early lead over his Smiths Falls counterpart Dennis Staples. Fenik was dunked by Lake FM news director Bob Perreault this past Monday, while Staples will not be getting an early bath until 10:30 a.m. on Sept. 13. Whether you are rooting for Smiths Falls or Perth, in all seriousness, both events support research into ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. All participants are asking to collect pledges or make a donation. You can call Sandra Burson at 613-284-1241. The overwhelming reaction to the Ice Bucket Challenge has surprised many in the ALS community, including ALS Canada who has recently taken their website down in favour of a site focusing exclusively on the challenge. “It’s unbelievable. It’s really, really taken off,” said Lianne Johnston, ALS Canada regional manager of the Champlain region, told the Smiths Falls Record News. The Ice Bucket Challenge has meant an additional $1.2 million in funds raised in just a two-week period (as of Aug. 21) for the national not-for-profit. The overall challenge goal in Canada is set at $3 million.

Community foundation lets Merrywood artistic dreams fly Desmond Devoy

Lifestyle – A little green has helped create a rainbow of colour, craft and arts for students with special needs at Camp Merrywood. The camp, just south of Port Elmsley in Drummond/North Elmsley Township, received $3,500 from the Perth and District Community Foundation to help set up its art program, which kicked off this summer. “This is the first year we’ve offered it,” said camp director Barbara Craig during one of the classes on Tuesday, Aug. 12. The sky may have been unloading what felt like a month’s worth of rain outside, but inside the arts cabin, junior painters and their assistants were busy with bright colours, making their mark – quite literally. “Every day we have a different artist come in and offer a workshop,” said Craig, with two artists pulling double duty the day before. The children signed up especially for this program, which

is offered in the mornings, followed by swimming or other activities in the afternoon, and a more camp-like craft in the evening, like those rainbow looms that the kids are crazy for these days. “We had this week (available) and I had some bed space so I was looking at something to do,” said Craig, which led her to think that “it would be fun to have an art camp to focus on different types of art.” The camp applied for foundation funding before Christmas of 2013, as they had helped out the camp’s good work before. Craig made sure, in her application, to point out that the program would itself give back to the community, since it would use local artists, from Perth, Port Elmsley and other local art hot spots. But of particular help was the Riverguild artists shop in Perth. “The people from the Riverguild arranged for them (the artists) to come in,” said Craig. The camp also offers a sports camp at the same time.

Perth Brewery: For all they do, this award’s for you Desmond Devoy desmond.devoy@metroland.com

The brewery had seven brands on display, but Steeves heard that there was a “strong following,” for a flavour that sits at the very heart of Lanark County’s identity – Temple Sugar Bush Maple Ale. “It was very well received,” Steeves said.

THE TownsHip of Lanark HigHLands

MUNICIPAL MAtters

www.lanarkhighlands.ca

Township of Lanark Highlands adds materials to blue box recycling program and expands waste management promotions for residents. The Township of Lanark Highlands is making it easier for residents to identify what materials can be recycled. Residents can decrease their waste management costs by separating materials for recycling, especially at waste disposal sites where tipping fees are charged only on those materials going to landfill. When the Township held a focus group last fall to get residents’ feedback on waste management, one of the main requests was for better promotional information about waste diversion, including better signage at the waste sites. The promotional campaign includes: • A new WASTE MATTERS brand and newsletter. Residents will receive the first newsletter by mail this month or as a hand-out at their local waste disposal site; • New signage at the waste sites detailing what materials are accepted at the waste sites & how to separate materials for recycling; • An increase in print ads in local newspapers resulting from the pooling of in-kind advertising resources with neighboring municipalities; • Annual reporting to Council and the community on progress made toward achievement of the township’s waste diversion goals. Funding for the expanded promotional campaign comes from the Continuous Improvement Fund, Stewardship Ontario and Ontario Electronic Stewardship. Several new materials are now accepted in Lanark Highlands’ blue box recycling program (both curbside collection in Lanark Village and depot collection at the waste disposal sites): • all plastic bags (including zip lock bags) • plastic film wrap (kitchen shrink wrap) • paper coffee cups (e.g. Tim Horton’s) • plastic plant pots and trays • rigid plastic containers (E.G. Tupperware) • blister packs. A municipality’s ability to accept different materials for recycling

is determined by the sorting capacity of the materials recovery facility (MRF.) A MRF (pronounced “murf”) is a specialized plant that receives, separates and prepares recyclable materials for marketing to end-user manufacturers. A new transfer station in Beckwith Township serves as a collection point for area recyclables. Revenues from the sale of recyclable material helps off-set waste management expenses and are an important source of revenue for the municipality. The sale of blue box materials reduces the disposal cost of those materials, which includes e-waste, used tires and scrap metal. The Township contracted with a new waste management company for curbside collection in Lanark Village starting in January 2014. The two-stream truck used by TOPPS has raised questions among Village residents. Public Works Assistant Cathie Green said “We continue to get calls from Village residents asking why the curbside collection staff are throwing recyclables into the garbage truck. Residents were accustomed to seeing the contractor make two rounds of the village, collecting garbage on the first round and recycling on the second. The new contractor collects both garbage and recyclables in a two stream truck that has two rear compactors side by side. Garbage goes into one compactor and recyclables go into another. The recyclables go to the MRF in a single stream and are sorted at a later stage of the recycling process. The result is a more efficient curbside route completed in half the time with a single vehicle.” Changing to a single stream curbside collection, along with improving promotional information for residents are two ways Lanark Highlands is working to control waste management costs.

OPINION

Real need for missing women’s inquiry

Editorial – Just call the inquest already. How much more “I don’t care,” attitude can our native population take? If this was any other group of women, there would be a national outcry – and rightly so. Yes, this editorial is angry because we’re fed up with the indifference of this government towards our fellow Canadians. Because the police can only do so much. Because there is clearly so much, much more at play here. Because the government is afraid that maybe, just maybe an inquiry would point out the obvious – that it is criminal that now, in 2014, that our native people continue to live in third world conditions. This week, the Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger called out Prime Minister Stephen Harper, saying he was missing the point in not calling for an inquiry into murdered and aboriginal women. This issue has come to the fore yet again this month with the death of 15-year-old Tina Fontaine, whose body was found in a bag in the Red River in Manitoba on Aug. 15. One of the top priorities of any government is the protection of its people. Speaking in Moncton, New Brunswick, as that province heads into an election campaign, federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau said that Harper is “just out of touch with Canadians on this issue,” and added, for good measure, that he is “also on the wrong side of history.” But Harper, being the partisan that he is, will dismiss these calls from the Liberals and NDP. However, all provincial and territorial premiers

Editorial - I’m told summer is winding down. It has been hard to tell by the weather. If you were to gauge things like seasons by weather, as we Canadians are wont to do, then I think Summer 2014 took place during the first full week of August. Happily – and luckily – that was also the week we were away at a cottage. Then the monsoons of “Augtober” came. Roads washed out. Rivers rose and currents strengthened. Flooding forced the cancellation of outdoor events. We donned sweaters and slickers. It was awesome. Okay. Not awesome. Mostly, I spent the month of August glancing furtively over my shoulder at the wall calendar and saying things like: “Omigosh! Is it THAT weekend already?” and “Omigosh! Is THAT due tomorrow?” and “Omigosh! WHERE is my clone?” and “Omigosh! You have to be WHERE tomorrow, Girlchild?” Where did the time go?

and leaders have also endorsed calls for a national inquiry. So that means right-wing premiers like Christy Clark in British Columbia, Alberta’s Dave Hancock, Saskatchewan’s Brad Wall, Quebec’s Phillipe Couillard, Tom Marshall of Newfoundland and Labrador, and David Alward of New Brunswick are all on side with this inquiry. So, are they too wrong, Mr. Prime Minister? Harper has called these murders and disappearances a “crime,” rather than a “sociological phenomenon.” So, in other words, bad things are happening, yes, but in no way are they tied together, rooted in anything like poverty, substance abuse, and family dysfunction afflicting a people. Harper, you say that the police are dealing with the issue. But, clearly, it is not being dealt with. It is still continuing at an unacceptable rate. It is something that, as Selinger said, affects communities across Canada. So, say, the Regina police force can only take care of what is happening within its borders. Ditto some officer working on a reserve in remote northwestern Ontario, or a cop walking the beat on Vancouver’s east side. The concept of the Hub model of policing could help. The Hub model may not answer all of the problems, but, by working in concert, the police and social service agencies can address problems before they go along, unchecked. We need national leadership on this. This is a time when the provinces cannot handle this issue all on their own. What more evidence do you need to see that there is a need?

Uhm...did summer just happen?

Yes, it was one of those best-laidplans kind of summers, when busy schedules and bad weather conspired to make it difficult to randomly get to the beach. It was, at least, the first summer in a long time that I didn’t count the days until the kids went back to school. Okay, well, there was that one time when they fought for half an hour about whose turn it was to use the computer and it was pouring rain and we were cooped up and I had a deadline and...well...nobody died. A phrase I have found myself using more and more as the kids get older is “work it out.” It is usually preceded by: “Maaaawm! [Insert sibling name here] is doing [something ridiculously trivial] to meeeee! Make [him/her] stop!” “Work it out,” I holler (we holler here), “because you won’t like my solution.” Separation played an integral role in surviving a rainy summer. Girlchild

Past Deadline

Stephanie Gray

seemed to be signed up for everything going. It meant I had to be her taxi driver, but it kept her busy and left Boychild to do stuff without little sister bothering him. It definitely kept the squabbling to a minimum. Of course the kids are SOOOO excited to be going back to school. They are so thrilled that I thought I would share with you their “Top 10 Reasons To Be Happy About Going Back to School” list. Ready? Okay. Number one: [cue sound of crickets]. Well, never mind about all that. Don’t worry. I happen to have a “Top

Three Reasons I Am Glad School’s Coming” list I can share. And before you feel gypped about it not being a Top 10 list, remember that Top Three Lists are much more concise. Plus I am running out of space here. First, obviously, is the learnin’. It’s absolutely fantastic that everyone is going back to school so they can expand their precious minds and absorb knowledge like sponges. Or whatever it is they do. Regardless, they will be gone all day doing it, which means the home office will be a tiny bit quieter. Second is lunches. It will be nice to not have to stop part way through the day to present lunch menus and take orders (or deal with the complaining when options are not presented). Besides I just LOVE preparing lunch bags. Love it, love it, love it. Do you suppose if I repeat that often enough it will be true? The thing is, the excitement of preparing lunches wore off about seven years ago – and that was

before Child Number Two even started school. Okay. For real. Here’s a good thing. Number three: routines. I love routines – and I don’t mean song and dance numbers, although they’re okay, too. Once we get back into a normal schedule it will be easier to, for example, stick to that wonderful food plan I’m on. Vacations and road trips and enablers being home make it pretty darn difficult to avoid food challenges, such as Timbits (for the road trips), barbecues, ice cream, s’mores, chocolate left over from the s’mores, etc. I need to get back on track so I can go bathing suit hunting in earnest next year. First, however, I need to work on bedtime routines, because they seem to have stretched later into the evening. That could mean a rather rude awakening for a fellow who has to start going to school an hour earlier this year. So thanks, summer, or whatever that season was. It has been...something!

News - Congratulations to Michael Johnstone of Perth who is the latest winner of a $100,000 top prize with INSTANT JACK$ ARE WILD. “I was doing my regular routine. With my coffee in hand I went to the gas station and bought my winning ticket,” recalled Johnstone while at the OLG Prize Centre where he claimed his winnings. “I got three little pigs in one box so I asked the store clerk to validate my ticket and the machine said BIG WINNER!” Johnstone called his son and told him he was going to pick him up. “My son asked ‘what for?’ and I said, ‘because I won $100,000!’” The pair drove down to the Prize Centre that afternoon to pick up Johnstone’s winnings. “Things are starting to sink in now,” said the winner who has plans to share some of his prize money with his children, invest and pay off debt. “That is a huge relief. Paying off debt will be life changing. Thank you OLG!” INSTANT JACK$ ARE WILD is available for $5 a play and the top prize is $100,000. Odds of winning a prize are 1 in 3.86. The winning ticket was purchased at Heritage Convenience on Gore Street in Perth. OLG is a provincial agency responsible for provincewide lottery games and gaming facilities. Since 1975, OLG has provided nearly $38 billion to the province and the people of Ontario by supporting health care; education, research, prevention and treatment of problem gambling; amateur sport through the Quest for Gold program; and local and provincial charities.

Reader asks what are the real election issues carefully and respectfully managed. The provincial government gives us tools to do this work and take on this responsibility. They are called Official Plans enabled by zoning by-laws. My community has three official plans and too often competing by-laws. Would we not better respond to respecting and thriving within this watershed with one Official Plan? Collectively we are not! Collectively we are shrinking in population and aging very quickly. The highest income earners and the younger live outside our business, cultural, health care and educational centre, yet we seem to want the older and less affluent to pay more and more for services we all benefit from. Collectively we need to address our economic future. Collectively we are not! It is particularly of interest to me: In the area of education, where the province has taken control, the mill rate for this service is the same throughout my community. We all pay the same, even though there are five schools in

our centre and only one in the west, one in the east and one in the south of our community. We all pay for school busing service, even those whose children walk to school in the centre of our community. We all pay for education, even those with no children and we further benefit from the seasonal residents who pay property education taxes and do not use the educational system at all. In the area of county government, where the province has taken control, we all pay the same mill rate even though there are many multiples of more kilometers of county maintained roads outside the centre. We all pay the same for social services, ambulance service etc. Time after time we are presented

with examples and dilemmas within our community that are not resolved or advanced because of how we have chosen to continue to administer ourselves and respond to opportunities. This past weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s example is a significant injury to a much loved teenager driving on an unpaved potholed road that should not exist. This road is in a flood plain and goes to a significant health care centre that is used by the entire community. It should at best be a walking path or recreational trail. It is a road between two of our segregated parts. We are about to enter the height of our municipal election four-year cycle. Are campaigns going to be dominated by discussion of building and com-

Or simply who is the most fiscally responsible, will deliver the lowest taxes, complain most effectively at county or provincial levels and ensure that their borough get their fair share (or more) of diminishing resources?

Umm, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not so sure! Sincerely, Richard Schooley Resident of Tay Valley Township

DEAR EDITOR: Enough Already! Your weekly paper again features information surrounding community policing costs and how they get allocated and your editorial suggests that yet again, our Premier has not thought through the necessity of addressing the unconscionable difference of policing costs amongst us. Maybe the problem is not with Kathleen Wynne, maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for our community to take some responsibility for how we administer ourselves! I live in a community of +/- 18,000 people, we have three municipal governments. If the city of Ottawa had the same ratio of elected officials to population, our municipal council would comprise 800 members. We are the principal occupants of a marvellous piece of geography, a true ecological gem, the Tay Watershed (Yes, we also occupy part of the Mississippi and the Tay is part of the Rideau). Watersheds to be valued must be nourished;

Historic walking tour wraps up successful season this weekend in Perth

Special to the Courier

Entertainment - Mark Twain once said that the game of golf was a good walk ruined. However, if you’d prefer a good walk enhanced, you would be well advised to participate in Perth Through The Ages, which is billed as a Theatrical Historic Walking tour. Running from Wednesday through Sunday at 11:00 a.m., the tour gives audience members a cardiac workout while they wander through historic Perth, accompanied by talented actors portraying actual key characters from Perth’s past. This play-on-the-move is entitled The Preacher and the Lady. We first meet the two central characters in the drawing room of the Matheson House Museum, where the tour starts. Both have been mysteriously transported from their own ages: Reverend William Bell (played by Sean Jacklin) from the year 1850, and vaudeville player, Mary BellMarks (Jasmine Bowen) from 1915. (Reverend Bell wrote a life-long diary, a copy of which is kept at the Matheson House Museum; Mary Bell was already an established New York vaudeville entertainer before she married one of the seven Marks brothers, her beloved Robert.) They walk outside to survey the alien landscape and discover from a newspaper that they have somehow ended up in August 2014. They set off, followed by their audience, to discover how their town has changed over the years. In order to preserve continuity, speed up proceedings, and maintain the fourth wall between actors and audience, there is no interaction between both parties during the approximate 75-minutes of the presentation, although there is a question and answer session afterwards (Both the Walking Tour leaflet and a Museum guide explain that the historical characters cannot “...see or hear modern people”). This arrangement works very well, as it heightens the drama, and renders it either humourous, dramatic or poignant, at appropriate moments. During the performance I attended, the Preacher and the Lady commented on the many changes that had occurred on Gore Street east. The Lady noted that a home furniture store had been erected where the Balderson Theatre had once stood, and added that she’d appeared there with the Marks Brothers (not to be confused with the madcap Marx brothers, who also started out in vaudeville). Reverend Bell was horrified by the noisy metal contraptions that sped along the street, but Ms. Bell-Marks

remarked that the auto-mobile had existed in 1915, but was now greatly changed. (A minor, frivolous rant: the historical characters could ‘see’ everything in the modern world, except for people. Granted, a suspension of disbelief is required while attending any theatrical performance, so the rant can be justifiably and instantly dismissed.) The historical duo made their first stop at the offices of The Perth Courier (established 1834), an esteemed and venerated newspaper, where they observed the actions of two office workers from the year 1918. An officeboy (Bobbie Cordrick) swept the floor listlessly, while an excited reporter (Meaghan Brackenbury) breathlessly enthused about the coming enfranchisement of women. (These two talented actors, along with the equally gifted Madison Reid, play multiple roles during the presentation. The two principals are extremely convincing and charismatic.) The walk continued beside the Tay River, where reference was made to the 1832 Navigation Company Scandal, with its alleged misappropriation of

funds. It was humourous to observe the shocked reactions of the Preacher and the Lady, when they inquisitively examined a public restroom and recoiled in horror at the “...public privvy!!” Close by was a truly ‘mammoth’ sight: a full-scale replica of a 22,000 pound cheddar cheese, made especially for the 1893 Chicago World Fair. The Mammoth Cheese stood six feet tall, contained the equivalent of one day’s milk from 10,000 cows, and was a technological marvel in those pre-refrigeration days. The Big Cheese crashed through the floor of the exhibition room, where it was first displayed. Moving on to the Royal Canadian Legion, the next exchange between historical characters recreated a poignant farewell between two young lovers. The year was 1914, and the same scenario was doubtlessly repeating itself, many thousands of times, all across Canada. The young girl was heartbroken that her boyfriend was going to volunteer to fight in the Great War, but he reassured her that the fighting would be over soon, that he’d be home by Christmas.

Outside the Perth Curling Club, a 1940 mother and daughter debated the advisability of the daughter engaging in factory work, making boots for Second World War soldiers. Dressed in ‘Rosie the Riveter’ style clothing, the young girl convinced her mother that her wages would greatly aid the family ﬁnances, her work help the war effort, and that her soldier father overseas could possibly end up wearing boots made by his own daughter. As this scene ﬁnished, May Bell-Marks (transported from 1915) sadly remarked that the Great War had not been, after all, The War To End All Wars. The presentation ended outside St. James’s Anglican Church where the Preacher encountered Elizabeth Hughes, whose honour

had allegedly been tarnished by 20-year-old Robert Lyon. (The last fatal duel in Canada took place in Perth on June 13, 1833, when 26-year old John Wilson defended Elizabeth’s honour, and fatally shot Lyon. Wilson was acquitted of murder, and married Hughes two years later.) In 1833, Reverend Bell had been acquainted with many of those involved in this affair, and had written about these events in his diary. The two principals had exchanged shots, had both been unharmed, and had decided to proceed no further. However, Henri Lelievre, Lyon’s second, egged on the duelists, and more shots were ﬁred, resulting in Lyon’s death. In the play, the Reverend apologized to Elizabeth for not being more

supportive of her after the duel, but he was assured that he had been most kind and attentive. And so ended a whirlwind tour of Perth’s turbulent past and presented in a unique and entertaining way. The actors gathered on the church steps, bowed to welldeserved applause, and answered questions from the audience.

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23

Aries, exercise caution when expressing your needs. It can be difficult to stop when you are drumming up so much excitement. Now is not the time to take a risk.

Err on the side of caution with regard to spending this week, Libra. You have to save up for a bigger purchase that’s on the horizon, so try to save as much as you can now.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

Taurus, you may have overextended yourself this week. You didn’t realize you had taken on so much until it was too late, but there is still time to backtrack.

Scorpio, only now do you realize how much you have on your plate. Think about postponing a getaway until your schedule is less packed and you can enjoy the trip even more.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

Gemini, committing to a daily routine can have a strong impact on your overall health. Consider tailoring a new routine for yourself, and you’ll reap the healthy rewards.

Sagittarius, turn work into play and things will move along that much more quickly. Split up the tasks at hand with a friend or colleague, and the week will fly by.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

Take things slow with a budding relationship this week, Cancer. You don’t want to go too fast and find yourself in over your head. Let things develop gradually.

Capricorn, even though you don’t have much time for yourself, you feel compelled to spend more time with others. Make some time for yourself as well.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

Leo, carefully consider any offer that seems too good to be true this week. While the person making the offer is not ill-intentioned, you still must exercise caution.

Aquarius, you secretly enjoy when others come to you for advice. Think carefully before making any suggestions, and your friends will be more appreciative because of it.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Big ideas sweep in this week and leave you with a lot of inspiration, Virgo. Don’t get too lost in fantastical ideas, though. Wait a little bit before finalizing plans.

Now is the time to further your studies, Pisces. Figure out how to finance a return to school and make the most of the opportunity.

In loving memory of Gary Bron October 1, 1945 - September 1, 2013 We knew little that morning, That God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us precious memories, Your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, You are always by our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one… The chain will link again.

News – With 26 motorcycle fatalities on record so far this year and at least two more months of the motorcycle season remaining, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is concerned that 2014 motorcycle deaths could reach a seven-year high. As of Aug. 18, 25 motorcyclists and one passenger have died in motorcycle crashes within OPP jurisdiction this year. The high number has prompted the OPP to share some facts and dispel some myths relating to the fatal motorcycle collisions it investigates in an effort to raise awareness about motorcycle safety. Earlier this month, OPP Aircraft Enforcement Patrol (AEP) clocked a motorcyclist travelling at 210 kilometres per hour, charging him under Ontario’s stunt driving law. The AEP airplane conducts patrol throughout the province and is highly effective at spotting motorcycles and other vehicles travelling at high rates of speed. “Other than a careless few that we come across during our enforcement operations, the OPP believes that Ontario motorcyclists in general recognize that they are a vulnerable road user and demonstrate safe, defensive driving. We are relying on motorcyclists and the motoring public to work with us and join in our efforts to keep motorcycling safe. The solution is simple: ride and drive within the law,” said OPP Deputy Commissioner Brad Blair, Provincial Commander, Traffic Safety and Operational Support. The following data reflect motorcycle fatalities within OPP jurisdiction: Myth: Young, inexperienced motorcyclists are the most vulnerable, at-risk riders and account for the largest number of victims who die in motorcycle crashes in Ontario. Fact: From 2008 to 2014 (as of Aug. 18), only 16 of the 175 motorcyclists who have died on Ontario roads were under the age of 25. The age group with the highest rate of fatality is the 45-54 year group, which comprises 48 of the 175 victims. The second highest age group is

the 55-64 year group, with 39 victims in that category. Combined, these two age groups account for almost half of the fatalities (87). Myth: Those who die in motorcycle crashes are doing something wrong at the time of the incident. Like other drivers, motorcyclists can avoid crashes if they drive properly and within the law. Fact: Between 2008 and 2014, for 50 of the 175 motorcycle victims, the driver of the motorcycle was driving properly at the time. Far too often, the actions of another driver are a causal factor in motorcycle crashes. Motorcycles are much harder to see than other vehicles. As a rider, it is important to wear high visibility equipment and put yourself in the proper lane positioning to increase your chances of being seen by other motorists. As a motorist sharing the road with motorcyclists, you need to maintain a keen awareness of your surroundings and always be on watch for motorcycles, especially in blind spots before changing lanes. Myth: Motorcyclists are at far greater risk of crashing when riding on wet roads. Fact: While true that riding on wet roads places an additional risk on riders, 158 of the 175 motorcyclists who have died between 2008 and 2014 (to date) were riding on dry roads. Other facts relating to the 175 OPP-investigated motorcycle fatalities from 2008 to 2014 (as of Aug. 18): • 168 of the victims were the driver, seven were passengers. • 156 of the victims were men, 19 were women. Top contributing factors (on the part of the motorcyclist and/or other driver(s) involved in the collision): • Speed: Factor in 43 of the deaths. • Lost control: Factor in 29 of the deaths. • Alcohol: Factor in 21 of the deaths. • Fail to yield: Factor in 20 of the deaths. • Inattention: Factor in 18 of the deaths. Submitted by the Ontario Provincial Police.

Major Royals baseball team makes it to Summer League final

Hard-working Perth squad faces The Glebe after defeating South Ottawa and East Nepean Pinecrest Eagles Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Sports – The Perth Major Royals have made it to the finals of the Ottawa Summer League. The final game against The Glebe in Ottawa occurred on Tuesday night, (Aug. 26), after press deadline, but coach Richard Brown was still on an emotional high after the team defeated the East Nepean Pinstripe Eagles by a score of 6-5 in a tight game on Monday night, Aug. 25. The game was tied in the

sixth inning when “one of my kids…he stole home on his own accord,” and won the game, said Brown. “We took a piece out of the other team. I’ve never seen the kids so proud of themselves and they carried themselves with such pride…It was pretty emotional last night. There were a lot of good vibes.” They are not taking anything for granted, going up against The Glebe, which defeated the team from Orleans, which Brown called a “powerhouse” team. Tuesday’s game will be

the third time Perth has taken on The Glebe this season – having won a game against them, 13-4, and lost a game, 9-6. “(But) they want the big one,” said Brown. Building on win over South Ottawa Five runs in both the third and fourth innings last Friday helped the Perth Major Royals advance to the next playoff round past the South Ottawa Blues. “The kids are starting to gel,”

said Brown after the 11-4 victory at Conlon Farm on Friday, Aug. 22, which helped the team advance past the quarterfinals stage playoffs. “They want it.” So far this season, they have suffered only one blowout, and that was against the top team in the league – whom they later returned to beat. Brown has also seen the team’s pitching and hitting improve in later innings as the season has progressed. “We didn’t know what we would be getting ourselves in for,” said Brown of his decision,

along with his friends, to take up leadership positions with the team at the start of the season. Part of the reason for the team doing better than expected was because of the kids themselves on the co-ed team. “We’ve got a lot of comments from other teams about the class of our kids on and off the field,” he said of the 11 to 13-year-olds on the roster. But the kids cannot do it alone. “We’ve had a lot of parents to help us out,” he said. “Every father has come out onto the

team to help out. Some mums too. The parental support, without that, we don’t play.” “I think it’ll be a tough game,” he said of the Ottawa games. “Any of the Ottawa teams, they have a strong program. They start really early… (and) they have the pick of the crop.” But he felt good about their chances going forward since they had beaten South Ottawa and “that team was hungry for a win. Now it’s an uphill battle. It’s anybody’s game.”

Chamber golf tournament spirits not dampened by the weather Sports – The rain stopped and the sun came out just in time for the Dorothy Griffith Memorial Golf Tournament on Wednesday, Aug. 13, as the Perth and District Chamber of Commerce hosted its annual event at the Perth Golf Club. There were 108 golfers this year, down a bit from last year, but that didn’t dampen the spirits of those who took to the soggy links for some golf, some fun games, excellent prizes, an auction and dinner. “It’s been a fabulous day; so glad the rain decided to hold off,” said Pauline Fitchett, chamber manager. “We have had some new and fun things going on this year, including a selfie contest and a mystery contest.” Selfies were encouraged by the golfers, as they were asked to take photos of themselves on the course and send them to the chamber for inclusion in posting online as well as for prizes.

“We also have a neat prize for those who can hit the ball the farthest while wearing oven mitts or hockey gloves,” she said with a laugh. “This is something new. We have had some positive responses, and people are actually trying it.” This tournament is one of the chamber’s largest fundraising events of the year, as it generates several thousands of dollars, however results won’t be available for a bit. “We’ve had some great support from our local businesses and sponsors,” Fitchett said. Jill Campbell, who was helping run the putting contest, is this year’s past president of the chamber. “We couldn’t do it without the many volunteers who help make this tournament a big success,” she said. “It’s been great… thank goodness, the rain held off.”

Area football players lift high provincial championship Sports- Five Perth athletes helped lift high the 2014 Ontario Varsity Football League Bowl on Saturday, Aug. 16. The Ottawa Myers Riders won their second straight provincial championship when they defeated the Essex (Windsor) Ravens 25-24 in the final seconds of the game at Keith Harris Stadium at Carleton University in Ottawa. The team of 17 to 19 year-olds has won 22 straight games, a provincial record, thanks in part to the efforts of Perth players Liam MacDonald (#44), Luke Rawling (#86), Patrick Pankow (#21), Eric Martin (#62) and James Derdzinski (#51). Pankow and Martin attend St. John Catholic High School, while Rawlings and MacDonald attend Perth and District Collegiate Institute. Derdzinski, from Franktown, Beckwith Township, attends Notre Dame Catholic High School. - Submitted photo

Saltos gymnasts compete at international event Sports - The 18-member team of aerobic gymnastic athletes represented Canada at the recent ANAC International Aerobics Championship held in Las Vegas, July 27 – Aug. 1, 2014. Canada sent its largest team of aerobic gymnasts to the event comprised of 13 athletes from Perth Saltos Athletics and five athletes from Hamilton World Class Gymnastic clubs.

Classic Theatre Festival’s fifth season draws to a close this weekend Arts – As the Classic Theatre Festival’s fifth anniversary season draws to a close this weekend with the final performances of the hugely popular murder mystery, Dial M for Murder (which runs until Aug. 31), audiences and cast members alike have had a great opportunity to explore another side of human nature. Indeed, in a story about a man who plots to murder his wife and inherit her riches, bringing out the human side of the plotter can pose a challenge. It’s certainly something that veteran Toronto performer Greg Campbell relishes in the lead role of fading tennis star Tony Wendice, who has gone from the heights of applause at Wimbleton to be a lowly sports equipment salesman. “Tony is someone who as a tennis star has acquired high-end tastes and he is looking for a wife in that milieu, and so he finds Margot, who is attracted to his stardom,” Campbell explains. “He is hard-nosed, knows what he wants and how to get it. But one of his fatal flaws is that he lacks human compassion. He is very out for himself.” While Tony does not sound like the most desirable of roles at first glance, Campbell enjoys the opportunity to play someone who is essentially an evildoer. “I often play the guy next door, the nice guy, and Tony does too in his normal conversations and interactions with other people, but underneath he has all these machinations going on, so he’s really putting all that nice stuff on as a façade. For me the fun is being the snake underneath, the guy who is planning all the time. There’s a contrast between the nice guy and genuine husband and, as soon as he hangs up the phone, you see the real evil guy underneath.”

Tension is in the air when American Max Halliday (Scott Clarkson, discovering his suit is too short) runs into tennis star Tony Wendice (Greg Campbell) and Margot (Jennifer Vallance) in the Classic Theatre Margot is taken on by Ottawa actor Jennifer Vallance, who must play at multiple levels as well, from the doting wife who pastes her husband’s press clippings into a photo album to a woman disappointed in marriage who has had an affair with an American mystery writer, played by Scott Clarkson. “I’m in an awkward predicament at the start of the play of introducing the two men in my life,” she says. “Margot loves Tony for his bedazzling character

Festival production of Dial M for Murder, which runs until Aug. 31 at 54 Beckwith Street East in Perth. For tickets, call 1-877-2873-1283 or visit www.classictheatre.ca.

which is always on display publicly, and they got married quickly, but she also feels that a life with mystery writer Max Halliday would have her loved and cherished. She stays in her marriage to Tony because that’s what people did in the 1950s. She’s doing what her daddy would have told her to do.” Clarkson finds that his character has a “real moral core,” which is why he tries to respect Margot’s decision to try and make the marriage work. “But

it’s a real conflict fighting off his strong feelings to be with someone he really loves but also to do the right thing. But he doesn’t know the true nature of her husband.” Such conflicting emotions set up the dramatic tension at the heart of the play. Tony’s attempt to blackmail Captain Lesgate (played by Ottawa’s Richard Gélinas) adds another level of intrigue, all of which must be sorted out by Inspector Hubbard, played by Clyde

Whitham. It’s a role that follows a long line of British detectives that includes the likes of Sherlock Holmes and his trusty sidekick Watson. Whitham believes Dial M for Murder has true staying power because “It’s a sense of justice. People like to see wrongs being righted and no one wants to see bad guys getting away with stuff. Especially the ones who think they are so clever at first but they always slip up.” Campbell agrees, noting, “Tony thought he had concocted the perfect crime, and for a while everything is going well for him, but when something goes wrong the fun for the audience is figuring out when this guy will get caught, and how. The suspense of watching this take place and realizing this guy actually might get away with it really leaves people on the edge of their seats.” Tickets to the final performances of Dial M for Murder are still available for the show, which runs Wednesday to Saturday at 8 p.m., with 2 p.m. matinees Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. Ticketholders are invited as well to the final Saturday Night Special murder mystery authors reading series, featuring Brenda Chapman and Thomas Curran (starting at 7 p.m. on Aug. 30 at the festival’s new venue at 54 Beckwith Street East (at Harvey). The festival’s youth theatre training project, the Perth through the Ages theatrical historic walking tour, always finishes up Aug. 31 with a final week of performances running Wednesday to Sunday at 11 a.m. Tickets to all festival events are available at 1-877-283-1283 or www. classictheatre.ca.

Reader discovers good things come to those who wait Lifestyle – Some months ago (March to be specific), I ran a letter from a 2010 Mazda 5 owner who was plagued by frequent battery failures. In his original letter he stated he had contacted Mazda Canada’s customer service line but didn’t feel he got the treatment he deserved. Well, someone was reading and shortly after the column ran I got this reply from Mazda Canada: “Dear Mr. Turner, I have just read your article “Running low on current” which is attached to the bottom of this email. I appreciate how you explained both the battery, its operation and maintenance. What disappointed me in the article was that the owner of this 2010 Mazda5 felt that Mazda Canada’s Customer Relations have not been helpful. Being responsible for customer relations here at Mazda Canada I very much want to reach out to this Mazda owner as it is our desire and goal to be helpful to not only Mazda owners but to all individuals who contact us. I am wondering if you would be so kind as to link me up with this reader. I recognize and respect personal privacy so I would be more than happy if you would forward this email to this individual and they can then feel free to contact me at my email address as listed below.

I contacted the original letter writer and asked him if I could pass his contact information along to Steve at Mazda Canada. He agreed. Just this past week, I received this follow-up: “Hello Brian, Yes, it is five months later and Mazda Canada did make a good effort to get to the root of the problem. Steve Weiler arranged for Steve Romano, field technical manager, to conduct a full electrical system test of my car (starting, charging and battery systems) at no charge to me and results were all within spec. “ Thanks for your help on this matter.

Summer always brings trailer towing questions and this season was no different than most. One of the confusing items for vehicle owners is the different classes of trailer hitches and why most automakers don’t refer to them in accessory catalogues or listings. First, a primer on hitch ratings: Class I hitches can usually handle trailers up to 2,000 lb, Class II units are good up to 3,500 lb, Class III are often rated up to 5,000 lb, Class IV’s and Class V’s usually involve weight distributing gear and are designed for loads up to and over 10,000 lb respectively. But it’s important to remember that what a vehicle is rated to tow is the first item of concern over what load a specific class of trailer hitch can handle. So it’s not much use putting a Class III hitch on a compact SUV, only rated to tow a 3,000 lb trailer. To find your vehicle’s towing ca-

pacity you can always dust off the owner’s manual or refer to the manufacturer’s website. For whatever reason, I’ve always found that the US versions of most automaker websites are much easier to navigate when looking for this information than their Canadian counterparts (.com versus .ca). Sometimes these sites will provide multiple ratings for the same make and model based on different equipment levels. An authorized dealership should be able to tell you what equipment level your vehicle has based on its serial number or VIN. Once you know what your vehicle is rated to tow, then you can go shopping for the appropriate hitch. The most common style of trailer hitch is the receiver type that has a square steel opening that a trailer ball mount is slid into and secured with a lock pin. These are great to avoid those painful shin strikes as the ball mount can be removed leaving a hitch that doesn’t protrude past the bumper line or into your legs when loading or unloading gear. A good tip to remember is that if you don’t remove the ball mount when not towing, you may find it permanently seized in the receiver after a season or two. If you plan on using trailer hitch mounted bike, ski, or cargo racks, make sure you get a hitch with a 2” by 2” receiver as most hitch

Oshawa-built 1956 Pontiac carries carload of memories Lifestyle – Richard Marion of Shawville, Que., purchased a 1956 Pontiac 2-door with a 265 V8 under the hood and automatic transmission in 1958. That car is long gone but when he saw an ad recently in “Old Autos” newspaper for a 1956 Pontiac 2-door hardtop, he couldn’t resist. Now he drives a car almost identical to the one he drove as a teenager. His “new” 1956 Pontiac has a 261 cubic inch six cylinder engine with three-speed manual transmission (“three on the tree” we used to say). It is one of only 1,165 built in Oshawa, Ont. The colour code is 2409: India Ivory and Twilight Turquoise. The trim is 901: Charcoal and Starfrost. “After a number of weeks of negotiation,” recalls Richard, “I finally purchased the car in 2011 and have enjoyed the memory of owning a 1956 Pontiac again. My current 1956 Pontiac is different in that it does not have a model emblem anywhere on the car. Most 1956 Pontiacs have a Laurentian or Pathfinder nameplate on the fenders or trunk lid. General Motors of Canada listed this car as Model 2037, 2-door hardtop. “A gentleman from Perth, Ontario, saw my car on the front cover of the March 18/13 ‘Old Autos’ and called to say he has a 1956 Pontiac 2-door hardtop but his Pontiac has the crests on the body. My 1956 Pontiac seems to be rare in the fact that it has a six

cylinder with standard shift instead of a V8 with automatic, and that it does not have any model nameplates on it. I have looked for other 1956 Pontiacs at car shows and in car magazines that are the same as mine and I have found none to date.” A previous owner, Mr. T. McDermott of Bridgenorth, Ont., wrote to the Vintage Vehicle Services at GM in Oshawa in 1995 and was informed that his car is a 1956 Pontiac Pathfinder Deluxe and, like other Canadianbuilt Pontiacs, his car was built on a Chevrolet chassis. Richard’s 1956 Pontiac Pathfinder was built in Oshawa on April 18, 1956 and shipped to an unknown dealer the same day. With this story now published, we might hear from the person who bought it new. Stay tuned. I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico. ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, Ont. N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in this column will receive a free autographed copy of my latest Submitted photo book: “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURITE STORIES, 1925 to This photo shows the 1956 Pontiac 2-door hardtop owned by Richard Marion, Shawville, Que.

Frank Miller’s sinful sequel can’t live up to original can take you to the wrong place. Man I love these films. Like the first film, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For takes us into the underbelly of Basin City by telling a number of stories through the eyes of some of its most hard boiled citizens. It starts with Marv (Mickey Rourke) surrounded by death and mayhem, and unable to remember how he got there. Then there’s Johnny (Joseph GordonLevitt) a gambler who’s come to Sin City to play a high stakes game against the city’s most powerful and most corrupt citizen,

Senator Roark (Powers Boothe). Dwight (Josh Brolin) is working as a private investigator when an old flame, Ava (Eva Green), asks for his help. She’s afraid her husband, and his inhuman bodyguard Manute (Dennis Haysbert) are going to kill her. But Ava is bad news and Dwight knows it. She twists him all up, and then sets him loose, and even Gail (Rosario Dawson) might not be able to help him. Finally we come to Nancy (Jessica Alba). It’s been four years since Hartigan’s (Bruce Willis)

My Take mark haskins

death, and Nancy has been on a downward spiral ever since. She’s on the verge of madness as she plots her revenge on Senator Roark. All the while Hartigan’s (Bruce Willis) ghost watches helplessly. The first Sin City was, and remains, a masterpiece in my opinion. A Dame to Kill For falls a little short

of that. It jumps around in time as well as from character to character. Some of it happens before the original film, and some of it happens after, and the end result feels disjointed. It just doesn’t have that same smooth flow from scene to scene that the original has. All that aside, it was still a visually stunning film that

takes your right back to that town of decadence and decay. It’s dark and gritty. It’s sexy and violent. It’s a work of art, and while it might not be quite as good as the first it’s still really good. Good film noir needs the right cast of sexy villains, dark heroes and damsels in distress. From Mickey Rourke’s psychopath with a heart of gold, to Jessica Alba’s stripper with a score to settle, to Josh Brolin’s hard-

nosed heroics, to Eva Green’s twisted evil, to Rosario Dawson’s dangerous sex appeal, to Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s cocky determination, to Powers Boothe’s total corruption, this cast has it all. Sin City: A Dame to Kill For may have its flaws, but I still enjoyed walking its streets, and seeing its citizens live out their lives in surreal black and white.

Community – The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) is excited to announce that more than 304,000 trees were planted this spring. RVCA and its many partners are well on the way to planting five million trees by 2015! RVCA offers private landowner tree planting programs that help landowners get the technical advice, planting plan and any available incentive funding for reforesting projects. In cases where landowners plant more than 2,000 trees, RVCA works with the province’s 50 Million Tree Program to keep costs as low as $0.15 per tree. “We have numerous communityminded partners who support our tree planting program and reduce landowner costs,” says Scott Danford, RVCA forestry program manager. “Simply, we need enthusiastic stewards to partner

and plant with throughout the Rideau watershed.” Landowners with at least one acre of land who are willing to plant 500 or more trees are encouraged to contact the RVCA at 613-692-3571 or 1-800-2673504 to book a site visit or get more information. Trees improve our land and air by acting as miniature environmental cleaning stations. Rootlets help hold the soil in place to protect against erosion and improve water retention. Leaves absorb CO2 and release oxygen helping to reduce the effects of climate change. In one year, an acre of trees absorbs as much carbon as is produced by a car driven 14,000 kilometres. They also act like natural air conditioners; the evaporation from one tree has the same cooling effects as 10 room-size air conditioners working 20 hours a day.

Tree planting is one the most practical ways to take care of our watershed and the wider environment. Trees improve local biodiversity by providing shelter for birds and wildlife, while at the same time providing us with windbreaks, screening and shade. Forests act as a major filter and cleansing system for water that soaks into the ground and feeds our wells and underground water systems. The newly planted trees take a little tender loving care in their early years, but once they are “free-growing”, they provide all of these advantages for up to 80 years or more.
