Bats cause false alarms

A Perth welcome for Ottawa Senators

Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Bats in the attic were the culprits behind the false alarms at the Perth Museum. The Perth police services board (PSB) meeting heard on Thursday, Aug. 27 that the museum, situated at the old Matheson House, 11 Gore St. E., had received its second false alarm notice, but the town’s chief administrative officer, John deRosenroll pointed out that “historically, that’s just bats,” setting off the alarms in the attic. The notices have made the museum staff take notice and “they understand what it needs to do,” and they have committed “to eliminate it on an ongoing basis. They would not be doing this without that notice,” said deRosenroll. Steps are being taken to plug up holes that allow bats to access the museum’s attic. The PSB also heard that there have been about 36 calls to 911 so far this year, compared to a total of 82 last year and 69 in 2013. There have also been 30 alarm calls so far this year, compared to 52 last year, and 65 in 2013. “Notices are going out,” said Insp. Derek Needham, the detachment commander for the Lanark County OPP. “We’ll be seeing some results in the near future.”

County to undergo planning department review akulp@perfprint.ca

Lanark County has gotten the ball rolling on a comprehensive review of its planning department, expected to be completed in April 2016. The matter was discussed at the Aug. 26 meeting of the county’s economic development meeting in Perth and county council voted to allow staff to begin the request for proposal (RFP) process. According to report prepared by deputy clerk Leslie Drynan, the review was prompted by questions raised of the planning department during the 2015 budget process “specifically relating to fees, budget levy and administrative support.” From that, a motion was passed at the May 25 county council meeting that an outside consultant undertake a review as soon as possible. “We’re hoping that if there are no issues, we can move forward with it and have the RFP closed by Oct. 5 and back to county council for approval Oct. 11,” Drynan said, with a review completion date of no later than April 29, 2016. The review will require the consulting firm to look at the delivery of existing services, work with county staff, report on findings and make recommendations for ways to improve the department’s efficiently and provide information to council for possible restructuring to do this. As stated in the draft RFP, the county “has the authority to approve consents (severances), plans of subdivision and condominium, condominium exemptions, part-lot control bylaws, local Official Plan amendments and local Official Plan five-year reviews.” Coun. Brian Stewart (Lanark Highlands mayor) wondered what the costs were to undertake such a review. “I’ve never heard of other municipalities doing such a thing, so I’m curious as to what it might cost,” he said. “I personally don’t have an idea, but I know full administrative reviews can cost $50,000, but this is just one department,” Drynan answered. “...Since the majority of the work would be done in 2016, there’s the option that (the cost) be included in the draft 2016 budget or funded through reserves,” she

added. Coun. Jane Torrance (Mississippi Mills councillor) wanted to make sure none of the consulting ﬁrms the planning department regularly deals with was involved in the review. “I’d be uncomfortable with that,” she stated. “But they are just stating pros and cons, strengths and weaknesses, they’re not telling us exactly what to do,” Coun. Richard Kidd (Beckwith reeve) pointed out. “This (review) will just be recommendations of what we can do and that decision will be left up to us. We will have input then.” Noting the member municipalities that make up Lanark County each have unique needs, Coun. Louis Antonakos (Carleton Place mayor) questioned how the review would incorporate that. “...Respective municipalities might have unique experiences and I don’t mean that in a negative way... but in terms of what they need from the planning department at county,” he said. “Where do Perth’s or Carleton Place’s experiences or challenges ﬁlter up to the consultant on this... they’ll just be looking at the county but we are part of the county with our own individual needs.”

The county’s chief administrative officer Kurt Greaves indicated that the county could ask the consultants to contact individual municipalities for input. “That will be part of the process, I’m sure,” he stated. “Whatever we do the flow has to avoid duplication to the lower tier,” added Coun. Shaun McLaughlin (Mississippi Mills mayor). “I’m concerned for what both tiers are doing, so I’d like to see that in the scope, if possible.” Evaluation team In Drynan’s report, the evaluation team for RFP submissions would be made up of Greaves, a financial analyst, Drynan and deputy treasurer Jennie Bingley, who would bring recommendations back to the economic development committee on Oct. 21. However, Coun. Sharon Mousseau (Beckwith deputy reeve) said she felt it was important to have more representation from the council table on the evaluation team. “I think at the very least, I’d like to see the chair of the economic development committee (Bill Dobson, Montague reeve) be part of that (team) and maybe one other council member,” she said. “For me, it’s not that staff can’t do this adequately, but it’s

The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) remind motorists that school buses are returning to area roads next week. Motorists should be aware of the expected increase in pedestrians, cyclists and school buses, and give themselves extra commuting time. Students will no doubt be excited and may forget many of the safety rules required for safe travels. “Please be aware of our children as they return to school in the coming days. That extra attention you provide will help us keep our children and roads safe,” said Chief Superintendent Daniel Redmond Commander East Region OPP. Motorists encountering a stopped school bus that has its overhead red signal-lights flashing shall stop before reaching the bus and shall not proceed until the bus moves or the overhead red signal-lights have stopped flashing. (Section 175(11) of the Highway Traffic Act). The minimum fine for failing to stop is $400. This applies whether you are meeting or following a school bus, and includes multi-lane roads. (The only exception is to traffic when driving on a road with a median traffic coming from the opposite direction is not required to stop.) Drivers should also be prepared to yield to student pedestrians and cyclists. Parents of students who will be walking or cycling to school are encouraged to speak with their children about the rules of the road that apply to them. Safe travels for students and motorists every day is our desire. Do your part to help us achieve this.

backup... it should be a given on anything like this.” “I’ve always been told to separate the procurement process from the political process, but it’s council’s decision,” Greaves stated. A motion was put on the ﬂoor to appoint the economic development committee chair and an additional member of county council to the team, but it was defeated. “This is somehow out of the ordinary,” said warden Keith Kerr (Tay Valley reeve). “Now we’re second guessing staff’s ability to do their job.” “I’m OK with any member of council being on this group. I think it’s a good thing and helps with the process,” Antonakos said. Another motion, for just the economic development chair to be included was passed. “When the RFP comes back and we choose the company, we can take a look then at who’s going to update us as we go through,” Kidd said. “I really think there should be two or maybe three councillors getting that information... so it’s the ﬂow that council wanted.” The recommendation for awarding the contract is expected to come to county council for approval in November.

Michael Barrett, a councillor in Edwardsburgh/Cardinal, was among the well-wishers at Tim Hortons. The prime minister stopped to pose with Barrett and his family before boarding the bus. Barrett said it meant a lot to him as a

voter in the Leeds and Grenville area that Harper would stop here. “We’re thrilled to have the prime minister in Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes,” he said. The federal election is Oct. 19. R0013425522_0903

Gord Brown received a special birthday greeting on Monday afternoon. The Conservative candidate in LeedsGrenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes welcomed Prime Minister Stephen Harper to the Tim Hortons outlet in Gananoque. Accompanied by his wife Laureen as well as party ofﬁcials and security, Harper shook hands, gave out free coffee with Brown and posed for a few photos during the 20-minute visit. The prime minister was greeted by dozens of local residents as well as several mayors and council members and Senator Bob Runciman who had gathered in front of Tim Hortons for the scheduled 12:45 stop. The visiting contingent arrived about 15 minutes early. After being welcomed by Brown, Harper shook hands in front of the restaurant and then entered through the front door. He made his way behind the counter and was greeted by Tim Hortons staff. The PM and Brown stood at the main cash and handed out numerous cups of coffee while chatting brieﬂy with customers. Before the prime minister left the counter, a chorus of “Happy Birthday” could be heard as Brown’s wife, Claudine Courtois, delivered a box of donuts with birthday candles. Brown, the Leeds-Grenville MP who turned 55 on Monday, said he had found

Paramedics take to the streets to raise funds for national monument Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

A few local paramedics will be trading in their uniforms for bicycling shorts this month when the annual 2015 Paramedic Ride comes through the region. The ride will be making its way from the Royal Brock hotel in Brockville on Monday, Sept. 21 through the village of Merrickville and the communities of North Grenville before moving onwards to Ottawa City Hall where a closing ceremony for the four-day ride will take place. The ride is organized by a not for profit group of paramedics and cyclists who are focused on raising funds to build a national memorial monument in Ottawa that will honour fallen paramedics who have died due to their occupation. It was just last summer when Mat Popplewell, a Lanark County Ambulance Service paramedic died due to the job. “The troubling memories of this still lingers with many of us today,” writes Lanark County paramedic, Dale McCabe in an email interview. He, along with many in the industry, feels strongly that having a monument where friends, family and the public can go to pay their respects will help those left behind. “Having a monument with Mat’s name on it would be a fitting way to honour him,” McCabe said. The drive to create a place of honour and remembrance for these community heroes is shared by fellow first respond-

ers like police and fire who also have their own monuments in place. Paramedics as a profession are fairly young when compared to services like police and fire. Jeff Carss, Deputy Chief of the LeedsGrenville Ambulance Service said the formal structure of the profession was put in place in the early 1970s with today’s local focus on service only taking hold in the early 2000s, which may have contributed to the lag in national recognition. “That comes with the growing pains of things,” Carss said. Paramedics are continually exposed to stressful situations and often in their home communities. According to McCabe, statistics show only five per cent of paramedics finish their career at a pensionable age. The remainder leaves for a variety of reasons. Not all are lucky to move on. According to the event website (www.paramedicride.ca), 39 Canadian paramedics have lost their lives since 1988 due to their occupation. The ride will take place from Sept. 18-21 and will travel from the YongeDundas Square in downtown Toronto to Ottawa City Hall and will include a number of paramedics from all areas. “The experience sticks with you and changes you in so many different ways,” reads a portion of the ride website. If you see the Paramedic Ride rolling through your community this fall be sure to encourage the riders as they go. For further information on the ride, please go to www.paramedicride.ca.

Ema Lee Fashions is not your typical ladies clothing store. The store is located seven kilometers north of Perth Ontario on Hwy. 511 in the quaint hamlet of Downtown Balderson. Upon entering Ema Lee Fashions, the staff greets you and offers their friendly help. Then you stand in awe as you realize the size of the store which is filled upstairs and down with ladies apparel. But it’s not like your usual Big Box clothing store, with row upon row of the same clothing showing up in every store! This store now carries a total of 35 different lines from sizes 6 to 3X. Besides ladies clothing they have the largest collection of bathing suits in the Ottawa Valley year round, consisting of four name brand lines sizes 6 to 34. They also carry five brands of men’s shirts: Berkham, Black Ice, Platinum, Sergio Loui and Scala Milano. Regular sizes small to 2XL. For the big and tall, sizes L to 7XL and also a good selection of men’s polos “with pockets”!

Emily Desjardine and Gerry McSweeney are the owners of the store. They both have a sincere commitment to the business and their customers. It’s hard work, but they both enjoy supplying their customers with different, unique, quality clothing at reasonable prices. In order to accomplish this goal, they travel twice a year to Las Vegas and Los Angeles and choose what U.S. lines and styles they think their customers would enjoy. They also travel to Canadian Manufacturers and now carry five main Canadian Lines. The hard work has paid off because the results have been outstanding. Customers have

Both Emily and Gerry agree that it is most rewarding to see people feel good about themselves in what they have chosen to wear from their store. This Labour Day weekend from Thursday to Monday, they are having their twelfth anniversary celebration which will include many “in house” specials. Ema Lee Fashions is open 7 days a week, Monday to Saturday from 9:30 a.m. till 5:00 p.m. and Sunday 10:00 a.m. till 4:00 p.m.

The Terry Fox Marathon of Hope marks 35 years this year and will take place in various communities on Sept. 20 – but not in Smiths Falls. Last year, the run was reinstated after a five-year hiatus, but Carrie Heffernan, who organized the event last year, said she had to give it up this year due to other commitments. “We were really hoping that we could do it, but we had so many other commitments that came up that we had to let it go for this year,” she told the Record News. Heffernan said she had conversations with the Terry Fox Foundation to find another person to take the reins, but that didn’t pan out. “We just didn’t have the time to prepare for it.” She did add that she would consider it again for next year, though. “It’s been put on hold for this year.”

Almonte In Almonte, register at the arena at noon and prepare for a 1 p.m. start. You can take part in a 5km or a 10km route by bicycle, rollerblade or wheelchair. Please note, that wheelchair and rollerblade access is available for the 5km route only. Delta In Delta, registration is taking place at 8 a.m. at the fairgrounds. There are routes available for 1 to 10km walkers/ runners/bikers/rollerbladers and even for those in wheelchairs. There will be a barbecue for those hungry participants following the event. Elgin In Elgin, register at 9 a.m. for the 4km or the 10km events.

Connections receives 339 back to school kits for local kids Connections would like to thank all volunteers and financial contributors for their generous time and donations this year. Staff and volunteers assembled 339 kits which included such items as backpacks, lunch kits, pencils, pens, rulers, paper, markers, binders, pencil sharpeners, highlighters and pencil cases. Joane Morin, co-ordinator of the back to school program for Connections said “the reason this program is so successful is because of all those who donated, there is no core budget.” Generous donations came in from Bently, Telus, Carleton Place/Perth/Almonte Civitan Clubs, Rotary Clubs for Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills, Staples, Full Deck luncheons, IODE Captain Hooper Chapter, Costco, Dollarama, Wayne Drummond and many individual community members. The Carleton Place Food Bank and Staples store partnered to host barbecues and raised a generous cash donation. Special thanks to JACK FM for promoting and attending the barbecues in Carleton Place. When the Connections staff received a donation from Bentley last winter it was so exciting. Ninety-three backpacks, 68 lunch kits and 30 pencil cases arrived. Later in the year, Wayne Drummond called and said to give him a list of items needed, we did and he dropped off everything on the list in July. Telus gave us 25 individual packs loaded with back to school supplies. Staples, Costco and Dollarama gave generous gift cards. Cash donations were accepted on behalf of Civitan clubs, IODE, Full Deck and Rotary. Individuals dropped off backpacks filled with school items on behalf of their families. All monetary donations went to the purchase of

items still needed. What an incredible community! The program started in 2002, backpacks were provided to Connections families for their children going to junior or senior kindergarten. This year children and families received a back to school kit, appropriate to the grade attending, from junior kindergarten to grade 8. High school students received school supplies, next year we hope to give backpacks to all our high school students as well. Back to school can be a stressful time for parents and for children. Pressure to have the right school supplies, new shoes, clothes and sporting equipment can take a toll on families. Parents are thrilled when they receive their packs, they are excited to give them to their children. One child, attending grade one, opened her new bag and said, “Oh my goodness, my own markers!” She gave a big hug to Joane, our co-ordinator, who responded, “This work is so worthwhile”. Connections is a community based program serving families in Lanark County. Our goal is to provide a continuum of support to families who are pregnant or have children age 0-6. We provide a Birth Companion program, prenatal Good Food for a Healthy Baby groups, parent/child playgroups, a home-visiting program and parent education groups throughout Lanark County. If you are interested in supporting our back to school program next year, please give Joane a call at 613-2572779 ext. 106. Again, thank you to this wonderful community for all the support given to our back to school program. Submitted by Connections.

Two Rivers Food Hub makes call out to canners for first contest Enter to win the first annual ‘Yes… you “Can”!’ Food Contest. Calling all picklers, canners, bakers and value-added product makers… do you make a relish, jam or cookie (or any other value-added local food product) that is the best? Are you ready to see if everyone else agrees? The Two Rivers Food Hub is happy to announce the inaugural Yes… you “Can”! food contest. The competition closes Friday, Sept. 11 and winners will be announced as part of the Lanark County Harvest Festival on Sept. 13 at 3 p.m. at Beckwith Park. Home canners, farmers, and professional food processors are invited to enter for a chance to win a five-hour food-production experience at the Two Rivers Food Hub in Smiths Falls. This includes full access to our inspected fully-equipped commercial kitchens and consulting time with the food hub staff on how to take your product to market. Compete in any of three categories: sweet preserve, pickle or other (this can include any local food based value-added product including dried, fermented, baked, etc.); one winner will be chosen as the overall winner, taking home the grand prize. The staff and board members of The Two Rivers Food Hub will carry out judging for the three categories with the ‘Best Overall’ winner being selected and awarded by a panel of Harvest Festival volunteers. Entrants must be from the counties of La-

nark or Leeds Grenville and have a product which incorporates local ingredients, and which they are interested in taking to market. Products must be delivered to one of the following locations no later than 4 p.m. Friday, Sept. 11, 2015, to Two Rivers Food Hub, Gallipeau Centre, Smiths Falls; Lanark County Administration Building on Sunset Blvd. Perth; or, The Granary, located on Bridge Street, Carleton Place. “This contest provides a great opportunity for local food makers to expand their current production and share their amazing product with new markets. The Two Rivers Food Hub makes it easier to grow beyond a small, home based business, increase production and introduce your food to a network of consumers that want local products. The demand for local food has never been greater,” said Marie White, Lanark County tourism manager. “We hope to introduce more producers to the equipment and facilities newly offered by the Two Rivers Food Hub,” Bruce Enloe added, “and encourage local producers to grow and expand in order to meet the demand for local food.” For more information, contact Bruce Enloe, Two Rivers Food Hub general manager, bruce@tworiversfoodhub.com.

With a theme like Sheep and Goats, there wasn’t a baad time to be had at the 133rd Annual Maberly Fair on Saturday, Aug. 29. The day started with a parade, running from the new fire hall to the fairgrounds, and featured antique farm machinery, goats, youngsters in costume, fire trucks and more. Above, the Gibson brothers came dressed for the occasion, from left: Osten, 11; Sawyer, 6, and Tyson, 8.

For more than 40 years our community has benefited from the care and medical expertise at CHEO. While some of us have thankfully never had to use CHEO, others have for minor or sometimes more serious issues. The one commonality we all share is a great respect and appreciation for CHEO. We want it to be here for our kids, our kids’ kids and beyond that. That is what Forever CHEO is all about!

Ontario strengthening penalties for distracted driving; protecting cyclists As of Sept. 1, 2015, the rules of the road have been updated to help keep Ontarians safe. Changes include tougher penalties for distracted driving, new rules to protect cyclists and measures to ensure the safety of tow truck drivers and children riding school buses.

“Ontario’s roads are among the safest in North America, and we want to keep it that way. We will continue to work hard to curb distracted driving, protect cyclists, and improve the safety of tow truck operators and children riding school buses,” said Steven Del Duca, Minister of Transportation

Getting Tougher on Distracted Driving Penalties for distracted driving will include an increased set ﬁne of $490 (Fines as listed include the Victim Fine Surcharge and Court Costs) and three demerit points upon conviction. Novice drivers will receive a minimum 30-day suspension for the ﬁrst conviction and longer suspensions for subsequent convictions.

Keeping Cyclists Safe The “dooring” of cyclists will carry an increased set fine of $365 and three demerit points upon conviction. New rules will also require drivers to leave a onemetre distance where possible when passing cyclists, or they may face the penalty of a $110 set fine and two demerit points. Cyclists who don’t use the required bicycle lights and reflectors face a higher

set ﬁne of $110. Staying Alert Around Tow Trucks and School Buses Drivers must now leave a safe passing distance between themselves and tow trucks stopped on the roadside to provide assistance. Failing to slow down and move over for a tow truck can result in a set ﬁne of $490. School buses will be more recognizable — they will now be the only buses permitted to be chrome yellow. Ensuring Ontario’s roads and highways are safe is part of the government’s economic plan for Ontario. The four-part plan includes investing in people’s talents and skills, making the largest investment

in public infrastructure in Ontario’s history, creating a dynamic, innovative environment where business thrives, and building a secure retirement savings plan. If current collision trends continue, fatalities from distracted driving may exceed those from drinking and driving by 2016. Research indicates that a driver who uses a cell phone is four times more likely to be in a crash. A novice driver is one with a G1, G2,

M1, M2, M2-L or M2-M licence. An estimated 1.2 million Ontarians ride a bicycle on a daily basis. Drivers failing to stop for a school bus can be fined up to $2,000 and six demerit points for a first conviction. A bike must have a white front light and a red rear light or reflector if you ride between half-hour before sunset and halfhour after sunrise, and white reflective tape on the front forks and red reflective tape on rear forks.

Driver, vehicle licence fee increases Driver and vehicle licence fee increases come into effect Sept. 1 in order to help maintain Ontario’s road safety, support key services and improve crucial transportation infrastructure. Feeds for driver licences, renewals, replacements and commercial permits are among those increasing: new driver’s licence renewals will go from $80 to $81.50; commercial vehicle validation, personal use (southern Ontario), from $98 to $108; passenger vehicle licence validation (southern Ontario) from $98 to $108. These changes support the recommendations of the Commission on the Reform of Ontario’s Public Services to cover the rising costs of maintaining provincial roads, bridges and highways, enhance cost recovery for the delivery of driver and vehicle licensing services and to support quality public services Ontarians rely on every day. In November, fees will increase for driver’s licence replacement, vehicle number plates, bus validation, driver instructor licence replacement and oversize/overweight permit replacement.

Minimize rabies risk

ust like providing the necessary food and water, vaccinations are all a part of taking care of your pets. That includes rabies vaccinations and the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit, along with local veterinarians and municipalities, are making it easier for dog and cat owners with a series of rabies clinics this month. Did you know that it’s the law to have your dog or cat vaccinated against rabies? It’s also particularly important for hunters to vaccinate their dogs against rabies. While out in the bush during hunting season, dogs have a bigger chance of interacting with wildlife who might be carrying the virus. However, those who think that because their cat remains entirely indoors and doesn’t need the vaccination are wrong. Should they run away or get loose from the house for a period of time, they could come into contact with an animal with rabies. Rabies affects the central nervous system and is deadly to dogs and cats, as well as humans (approximately 60 per cent of human exposure to rabies is due to contact with rabid dogs or cats) if it isn’t treated. There is

no treatment for rabies once the symptoms appear. Symptoms of animals suffering from rabies includes foaming or heavy salivating at the mouth, as well as agitation, trouble swallowing, slight or partial paralysis. The most common species to carry rabies in Ontario, according to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, are raccoons, foxes, bats and skunks. The health unit vaccination clinics are set for Sept. 6 and Sept. 19. Sessions run from 2 to 6 p.m. at veterinary services and municipal facilities in Almonte, Carleton Place, Lanark, Pakenham, Smiths Falls, Perth, Kemptville, Merrickville, as well as Chantry, Westport, Elgin and Elizabethtown. Dogs and cats must be on a leash or in a carrier if they are brought to clinics and the cost is $20 (cash only, tax included) per animal. For a complete list of all locations, visit www.healthunit.org. It’s all about education. If you take on the responsibility of owning a pet, protecting them from unnecessary illness isn’t something to be taken lightly – $20 is a small price to pay for peace of mind for man’s best friend (or feline).

Mary tries her hand at hatching her very own chicken

here was no doubt about it; my pet chicken wouldn’t be a chicken much longer. I wasn’t smart enough to figure out that you didn’t have pets on a farm. They eventually ended up at the market or hanging in the smoke house behind the house. I refused to accept this, so I had a pet lamb, a pet calf, and Biddy, my pet chicken. The reason I adopted Biddy, was that she stood out from the crowd. She didn’t have a feather on her body, unless you could call the little ring of white fuzz that circled her between her neck and her wings, feathers. And Biddy grew, as I knew she would. And then one day, she was nowhere to be found. I wouldn’t dare ask what happened to her, but I strongly suspected,

since I fed her myself and she grew bigger and fatter than any other in the flock, she was the perfect candidate to be taken into Renfrew with Mother’s other wares to be peddled, and the few pennies added to what was called her ‘egg’ money. When Biddy went missing, I knew what I had to do. I had to get an egg out of the hen house, and somehow turn it into a chicken. Surely, if I had hatched my very own chicken, it would never be hauled off to Renfrew, or put in the big granite pot on a Sun-

day. And I knew just how to do it too. Hadn’t I seen Mother stock the incubator with eggs, keep it warm with coal oil lamps or lanterns and lo and behold in due course, there would be a batch of little golden chickens? So the first thing I had to do was find a spot that was not cold. Well, this time of year, that could be just about any place in the house. The upstairs was like we had moved the Findlay Oval to the top floor! And so, without being noticed, I went to the henhouse, looked over the eggs waiting to be brought into the house and picked the biggest one I could find. I tucked it gently into the leg of my flour bag bloomers so no one would notice it, and headed right upstairs to the little washstand I shared with my sister Audrey.

In my half of the top drawer, which Audrey had divided with a wood ruler from Scott’s Hardware, I moved my underwear around and made a dent in one of my pairs of flour bag underpants, and gently put the egg in the folds. Then I covered it with more underwear, a vest, and three pairs of ankle socks. It was well hidden, the washstand took the full blast of the sun all day long and I figured I would soon have a replacement for Biddy. I knew it was important not to touch the egg while it was hatching and so I used only the underpinnings on top of it. And the long wait for the egg to hatch began. I had no idea how long that would be, but every night I went to bed and silently prayed it wouldn’t pop open when we

were asleep, and start to peep, sending my sister Audrey into a state of hysterics! Well, the wait went on. Days passed and turned into a couple of weeks. And then one day my sister Audrey, who could hear a leaf drop and who had a nose that could pick a scent two miles away, so good were her senses, announced to Mother one morning that there was a vile smell coming from our shared bedroom. It was a Saturday, so Mother told her to work especially hard at doing our usual chores, making sure to dust mop thoroughly, and use a bit of lemon oil on the furniture. She blamed the smell on the heat wave we were having. By the next day, I too could smell whatever it was that was fast eliminating the sweet scent of clean sheets and the lemon oil

that was used only in the parlour! And that was the day my secret incubator was no longer a secret. “The stink is coming from our wash stand,” Audrey bellowed, as she ripped open the little drawer. Well, the smell just about bowled me over too. You didn’t have to be a university graduate to know what had happened to the egg. In the heat, in the closed drawer, it had rotted beyond belief! My explanation did little to impress Audrey. She ordered me to wrap it in a pair of my underpants and take it outside and throw it as far away from the house as I could. I did as I was told, sad beyond belief that my try at hatching my very own chicken was a complete and total failure. See MARY page 9

Team Canada has record success at Pan Am/Parapan Games Athletes from Ontario and across Canada have delivered exceptional performances to crown the largest, most successful Parapan Am Games ever. Team Canada won a record 168 medals at the TORONTO 2015 Parapan Am Games. Ontario athletes made a major contribution to this showing, with 63 medals, and helped Canada finish second overall. This outstanding achievement capped off an incredible summer for Ontario that began with the resounding success of the Pan Am Games. The Parapan Am Games were also a success in many other ways: • More than 90,000 tickets were sold for the 445 events in 15 sports -the most events ever at a Parapan Am Games. Events were held in 11 venues across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area. • These were the most accessible Parapan Am Games ever, leaving a legacy of inclusion that Ontarians and visitors of all abilities will continue to benefit from. • A record 2,600 athletes and officials from 28 countries and territories participated in the Parapan Am Games. • This year, the Parapan Am Games were televised live in Canada for the first time, raising the profile of parasports and athletes with disabilities. More than five million Canadians tuned in to TV coverage on CBC and RadioCanada. • More than 1.4 million people at-

tended Parapan Am and Pan Am celebrations at seven sites, including PANAMANIA Live at Nathan Phillips Square and Ontario’s Celebration Zone. Ontario’s Celebration Zone hosted more than 500 performances and presentations over 38 days, including live music and culinary showcases -- and Ontario’s first accessible zip line. • More than 23,000 volunteers welcomed visitors from around the world to the Pan Am and Parapan Am Games. • Ontario showcased itself to an international audience at the Parapan Am Games, adding to the exposure it enjoyed in July through the highly successful Pan Am Games. In total, the Games are expected to create 26,000 jobs and boost Ontario’s real GDP by $3.7 billion from 2009 to 2017. The Games will leave behind a legacy that will enrich Ontario for decades. For example, work will begin in September to transform the highly successful Athletes’ Village into the Canary District. It will include a range of housing options, including accessible and affordable units, and has transformed a former brownfield site into a vibrant and diverse new Toronto neighbourhood that people will move into beginning next spring. As well, the new and renovated sport and recreation venues built or upgraded for the Games will serve as sites for training and competition, home bases for national and provincial sports organizations, and world-class facilities

for community and public use. “It has been wonderful to see people from across Ontario getting behind the Parapan Am Games, helping to make them the best ever. I want to thank the athletes, guides, officials, volunteers and other participants for everything they have done to make this year’s Games such a great success story. I also want to thank the entire TO2015 team for its outstanding work to make this a summer to remember,” stated Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne. Supporting the success of the 2015 Pan Am and Parapan Am Games is part of the government’s plan to build Ontario up. The four-part plan is investing in people’s talents and skills, making the largest investment in public infrastructure in Ontario’s history, creating a dynamic, innovative environment where business thrives, and building a secure retirement savings plan. “Throughout these Games, we have been inspired by the talent and determination of Parapan athletes, who showed us that there is no limit to what we can achieve. These were the largest and most accessible Parapan Games ever, and we are proud of their legacy, one that will benefit Ontarians of all abilities for generations to come,” said Michael Coteau, Minister Responsible for the 2015 Pan and Parapan American Games

guides on Team Canada, 74 (or 34 per cent) were from Ontario. • Team Canada won 50 gold, 63 silver and 55 bronze medals at the TORONTO 2015 Parapan Am Games. This compares with 13 gold, 22 silver and 28 bronze at the 2011 Parapan Am Games in Guadalajara. • Ontario athletes won 14 gold, 23 silver and 26 bronze medals for Team Canada. • All 15 sports this year were quali-

fiers for the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Quest for Gold has provided Ontario athletes and coaches with more than $90 million in support since the program began in 2006. More than $26 million was provided in 2014-15 to promote participation and excellence in sport across Ontario. • More than 1.1 million tickets were sold in total for the TORONTO 2015 Pan Am and Parapan Am Games.

My penalty was taking everything out of the wash stand, washing it with a bar of Lifebouy soap, used only by Father or the boys when they had to get rid of a bad smell, and tossing everything into the Monday’s wash.

Sept. 24 all-candidates night in Beckwith focuses on agriculture Mark your calendars for Thursday, Sept. 24! The Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the Lanark Federation of Agriculture is excited to present an all-candidates event for contenders in the riding of Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston. The event at Brunton Community Hall, located next to the Beckwith municipal office, begins at 7:30 p.m. As a local chamber, we are involved in making

business issues matter on the election trail – in our own riding and with each candidate. “We want to give our members and the community at large the opportunity to ask candidates the questions that are important to them,” Donna MacDonald, chamber president, said. The Lanark Federation of Agriculture feels the same way. They represent the voice of Lanark farm families and work with 52 county federa-

All candidates’ meetings have been a standard practice in Canadian elections for generations. Typically, these have consisted of presentations by the party candidates regarding their personal and party positions on the election issues. These presentations have then been followed by questions to the candidates from the attending public. A new approach is being taken by the Citizens Democracy Forum in collaboration with Fair Vote Canada to up-coming All-Candidate meetings, starting with three they are sponsoring for the new riding of Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands & Rideau Lakes. Candidates from the four major local parties have been invited. It is intended that similar meetings will be held subsequently across the new riding of Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston. The first three meetings are as follows:

Portland: Wednesday, Sept. 9 at 7 p.m. at the Community Hall on Water Street; Gananoque: Friday, Sept. 11 at the Carveth Care Centre, 375 James Street. Brockville: Tuesday, Sept. 15 in the Large Community Room in the 1000  Islands Mall.   What is new about these meetings is that they will consist almost entirely of questions from the attending public interspersed with questions from the Citizens Democracy Forum, members of which come from all four political parties in the geographic area between Kemptville and Sharbot Lake, and between Carleton Place and Kingston. The CDF questions will be given to the candidates before the meetings and will be publicized ahead of time in the local media. Submitted by the Citizens Democracy Forum

Down payment downside It may be that ‘child’ of yours is getting married or that you simply Manage Your Money want to pass along some of the wealth you have worked so hard to accumulate during your lifetime. Either way, you want to help them buy a home. So, your first thought is to give your child money – perhaps tens of thousands of dollars – for the down payment on his or her new home. But there is a downside to giving your child cash for a down payment. When your child marries, the assets brought to the marriage or acquired afterward usually become shareable – so if your son or daughter later separates from their spouse, the cash down payment you provided is included in the total valuation of the house, which becomes a shared asset. If you want to protect your funds, consider structuring the transaction as a loan, not a gift. You can do this through a promissory note that includes and loan agreement and security, usually in the form of a mortgage on the home. In many cases, your child will not be expected to make payments against the loan during your lifetime, but the amount of the loan can then be offset against the amount to be inherited by that child. And as long as the loan is in place, you will have a much stronger argument that those funds must be repaid

before any remaining equity in the home is divided between spouses (or common-law couples, in some jurisdictions). It is vital that this type of arrangement is properly documented and signed by all parties to minimize the possibility of someone denying the existence of the loan at a later date. If your child is not making regular payments of interest and/or principal, it may also be necessary to ‘refresh’ the loan from time to time to ensure it does not become statute-barred (that is, when a lent sum cannot be recovered by a creditor through legal action because of a time limit imposed by federal or provincial limitations acts). Be sure to speak to a lawyer to be sure the funds will be treated as a loan and everything is documented. And to be sure your ‘gift’ is in line with your financial and estate plans, also discuss it with your professional advisor.

A new project to celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary will marry colourful tartans with the beauty of the Lanark County landscape. Mary Stewart of the Running Goat and the Perth Kilt Run was on hand at Lanark County economic development committee’s meeting Aug. 26 to speak to council about the Tartans on Barns project. In addition to being a visual way to mark Canada’s anniversary, Stewart said Tartans on Barns will “promote and build a deeper understanding of Canada’s roots, its people and what it means to be both a rural Canadian and a settler of this area and recognize and promote an exceptional Canadian district that shaped our province and country,” she stated. “We had an idea that there needed to be a tartan tour in Lanark County... so I’ve been out cycling around and taking pictures of barns,” Stewart said, noting that Lanark County’s agricultural advisory committee and Tay Valley Township suggested they approach the county for funding. Stewart said she hoped the project would serve as a legacy and act as a vehicle for tourism and economic development within the county. “We envision people driving around and every 10 kilometres or so, they would happen upon a tartan and it would be in any name the landowner would like,” she added. At this stage, Stewart said she was

Lanark County has been asked to financially support a new tourism opportunity and Canada 150 project known as Tartans on Barns. A decision on whether to support the project financially or not will be coming back to a future economic development committee meeting. seeking county involvement. For $2,000, it would allow for the creation of an exhibit/photos, promotional products and materials and media advertising. But a bigger ask of $20,000 would allow the Tartans on Barns initiative to expand that into the production of 100-plus banners for each of the farms, with research and tartan pattern and

professional fees for project research, co-ordination and implementation. Tartans represented would include those of the Scottish, English and Irish culture. The economic development committee has yet to make a decision on whether they will provide funding for the project.

Eliminating debt takes time and dedication for Canadians: CIBC A recent poll by CIBC finds that, on average, Canadians expect to be debt free by the time they are 56-years-old although some Canadians see themselves carrying debt well into their sixties. In addition, nearly a third (29 per cent) say they have no debt while 13 per cent say they will never be debt free. Highlights of the poll include: • 56 is the average age Canadians expect to be debt free; • 21 per cent say they will be stuck with debt until they are over 65-years-old; • 29 per cent say they are completely free of debt today; and, • 13 per cent say they will never be debt free. “While Canadians expect to be debt free by age 56 on average, not everyone will hit that goal, which means a significant number of Canadians will still be carrying debt during retirement,” says Christina Kramer, executive vice-president, retail and busi-

ness banking, CIBC. “As debt repayment goals push closer to retirement age, it puts an added strain on your ability to save for retirement and manage your cash flow after you retire.” The poll found that over half of Canadians aged 65-plus say they still carry some form of debt today, with credit card debt and lines of credit as the most common types. This group also said they didn’t expect to have their debts paid off until they are 70-years-old on average. “Cash flow becomes a top priority in retirement, and having to make debt repayments out of your income will create a drag on your finances and your ability to have the retirement you want,” adds Kramer. Canadians 25-34 years of age have ambitious plans for debt repayment. This age group on average expects to be debt free by age 47. However, a closer look at those currently carrying debt

suggests this may be an optimistic goal, as more than 68 per cent of Canadians 45 and over still carry debt, including 31 per cent who still carry a mortgage. “What people need to remember when attempting to shorten the road to debt freedom, is that paying down debt is just one part of a broader financial plan that needs to include saving for retirement, managing day-to-day expenses and maintaining an emergency fund,” Kramer says. Of all Canadians with debt, 32 per cent say they have made sacrifices or cut spending to better manage their debt this year and 25 per cent say they have made at least one lump sum payment towards their debt on top of regular payments. This aligns with a CIBC poll conducted last December that found that paying down debt was the top priority for 2015. Becoming debt free takes time and dedication. It’s best to have a

clear plan that outlines the steps that should be taken each month to get closer to goals over time. Here are a few tips for putting plan on paper: Step 1: Assess your debt. Make a list of everything you owe, who you owe and when the payment is due. Be sure to note the interest rate and monthly payment amount, separating out how much goes towards interest as opposed to principal. Next, add up the individual debts to find your total outstanding balance, and how much you

are paying each month in interest to service those debts. Talk to a financial advisor about possible ways to structure your debt and potentially lower your interest costs. Step 2: Set priorities. It’s essential to make at least the minimum payment due on each debt to avoid penalties and to keep your credit rating intact. Beyond the minimum, focus your attention first on the debts that are costing you the most – those with the highest interest rate. Step 3: Establish a timeline.

Health Canada taking new action to improve acetaminophen safety, reminds about safe use Health Canada is taking additional steps to minimize the risk of liver damage and improve acetaminophen safety. This action is in light of a Health Canada review that assessed acetaminophen and liver injury in the Canadian context, a summary of which is available on Health Canada’s website. Acetaminophen is an ingredient found in a wide range of non-prescription and prescription products, including headache and pain remedies, allergy medicines, cold remedies, and narcotic pain relievers. With hundreds of different products available and more than four billion doses (e.g., tablets) sold each year, it is one

of the most commonly used pain and fever relievers in Canada. While it is used safely by a vast majority of consumers, acetaminophen – like most health products – has risks, especially if too much is taken or if it is taken for longer then directed. Effects can include liver damage and, in severe cases, acute liver failure, which can be fatal. Acetaminophen is the leading cause of serious liver injury in Canada and in other countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia. Of the more than 250 cases of serious liver injury each year in Canada involving acetaminophen, over half involved accidental overdose.

In 2009, Health Canada added stronger warnings to the labelling standard for non-prescription products on the risk of liver damage. Health Canada will be taking additional steps in the coming months to further improve acetaminophen safety. Specifically, Health Canada will strengthen the acetaminophen labelling standard for non-prescription products. What you should do • Always read the product label and follow the instructions. Know if the product contains acetaminophen, the amount to take, how frequently to take it, and when to stop. Never exceed the

training and documentation. They also provide training for all fork lift operations (mobile lifting devices), overhead crane, and tractor & excavator operations to chain saw safety. All this is done at the employers site and tailored to the needs of each business, this is done to minimize disruption to the workplace and to be site specific. HHSTC will meet with company owners and management to discuss and assess their health and safety needs. They can conduct everything from risk hazard assessments to a gap analysis and workplace inspections. As well, they can assist you with your safety board development, safety documentation, manuals, and development of operating procedures. Mike Hannah, owner and lead trainer has been making safety his passion for more than 25 years. He is a highly profes-

sional individual with numerous years of experience in health and safety in the workplace. His experience ranges in many different environments from corporate, municipal, agricultural, industrial, heavy construction, to forestry and mining in both union and non-union workplaces in Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia. He is recognized for his ability to work well and collectively with owners and workers alike, as well as with various government agencies. Hannah’s reputation precedes him and his teaching techniques are engaging and informative.

Submitted by Hannah Health & Safety Training Consultants.

• Talk to a health professional if you have any questions about acetaminophen. Talk to a health professional before taking acetaminophen if you have risk factors that increase your risk of liver damage, such as liver disease or drinking alcohol regularly, as

the amount of acetaminophen you can safely take may be less than what is recommended on the label. More information for consumers on acetaminophen safety is available in Health Canada’s website: www.hc-sc.gc.ca.

LAWS shares Happy Tails story of adopted dog HAPPY TAILS Update on Bonnie Hi again, just wanted to update you about Bonnie. The kids were not home when Bonnie moved in. They’ve been home a couple of weeks now. I can’t tell you how happy we are to have Bonnie in our lives. She is a perfect fit for this family and has formed a special and unique bond with each of us. She and the cat (Brownie- another LAWS adoption) are buddies. She protects the chickens and chases the squirrels and raccoons. We love her to the moon and back. Thank you all so, so much!

Nermal Featured FELINES Meet Nermal. He may not be a kitten but he sure is cute!

Stella is one of Callie’s kittens

R0023442849_0903

Your support helps save lives

Bonnie Meet Honey – She is a people crazy Labrador cross that is seeking a home in the country. She is not suited to dog parks but requires lots of exercise and hence the reason she hopes to find a rural or country setting. Honey will need work to be housed with another dog as she wants to be the centre of attention. Honey has been at LAWS a long time as her social behaviours improved. She walks well on a leash, enjoys our little pool and spending time with her handlers and volunteer walkers. If you have room for this very beautiful Labrador cross please contact make an appointment to visit with Honey 613 283 9308.

www.heartandstroke.on.ca

Callie

Diana is Callie’s other kitten.

Next we have Callie. She arrived at the shelter with her two kittens Stella and Diana. Callie is a very clean cat and despite that she had lived outdoors. Her kittens are truly adorable and are now ready for adoption. If you would like to meet Callie or one of her offspring please attend the shelter at 253 Glenview Road, Smiths Falls.

Gizmo If your looking for someone different, Gizmo is your man. Striking a new pose with every flash of the camera, he truly is handsome. Maybe Gizmo is aware that his picture might win your heart and himself a home?

Mudds plan exciting live theatre in downtown Carleton Place this season Have you seen the newest mural in Carleton Place? Walk along Mill Street from the town hall towards Beckwith Street, glance to the right and you can’t miss it. It is colourful, entertaining, artistically clever and thoroughly engaging. Just like the theatre group it is honouring. It is a perfect tribute to the Mississippi Mudds, of Carleton Place, your local community theatre group. The mural has been completed by artist Shaun McInnis with perfect timing to draw your attention to the line up for the Mudds’ 42nd season of live theatre. All productions will be presented in the historic town hall, just across the street from the mural. Mudds members of all ages have been hard at work over the summer, planning and rehearsing. As with each new Mudds season there will be something for everyone. A Shakespearian tragedy in October, a musical murder mystery presented cabaret style for adult audiences in December, and two family-friendly musical classics in February and April 2016. Opening on Oct. 16, our youth members bring you their latest “in the round” Shakespeare offering, this time with a unique twist. Director Mark Piper writes this summary of the production entitled Drama Club Romeo and Juliet: 15th century Verona, Italy, is in chaos: street violence between rival families threatens public order. Friar Laurence has a plan to stem the bloodshed: secretly marry Romeo, the son of the head of the powerful Montague family, to Juliet, the daughter of the head of the rival Capulet family. Fate, however, has other plans.

But 21st century Carleton Place is also in chaos. The young Shakespeare group is rehearsing Romeo and Juliet with a female Romeo that hates the part, a Juliet who gets anxiety attacks in social situations, a Friar Laurence who is trying to set a record for world’s fastest monologue, a jock who hates wearing skirts playing the Nurse, and two nine-year-olds who want to have a swordfight. The stage is set for “a most excellent and lamentable tragedy” to engage your hearts and mind. Closer to the holiday season you might be looking for a different kind of “night out”. Your date night or office Christmas party is planned for you. Opening on Dec. 4 and running for two weekends, The People Versus Mona is described as a “musical murder mystery so funny it’s a crime!” This adult Off-Broadway entertainment will tickle your ears as well as your thinking cap. The citizens of the Frog Pad bar in small town Tippo are waiting to find out if the bar owner Mona did indeed murder her husband, C.C. Katt! And as the story unfolds, the lawyers wrangle and the witnesses are called, they will entertain you with original music that borrows from gospel, rock and pop. With well-known Blues and Jazz musician Peter Brown in charge of the Frog Pad band the music will surely be lively and fun. You have the choice of seeing this one as an evening show with bar service and nibbles, or a matinee with traditional afternoon refreshments. Or if you choose the second weekend you will enjoy a full dinner theatre package with show and three-course meal

provided by Leatherworks Catering. Once you start marking up your 2016 planner you should make a note to bring the whole family to see Disney’s Beauty and The Beast Junior, another delightful musical play mounted by Mudds Youth. Opening on Feb. 26 and running over two weekends the moral of this timeless classic story is of course “Never judge a book by its cover.” This version gets the full “Disney” treatment with musical numbers by Alan Menken, Howard Ashman and Tim Rice, book by Linda Woolverton and a cast of fantastic and imaginative characters. And to wrap up this exciting season, watch for the opening of Peter Pan on April 22. Embark with the Mudds on a magical musical journey with the beloved boy who never grew up and his gang of Lost Boys, the children of the Darling family, a wily Crocodile and a bunch of Pirates led by the wicked Captain Hook. This family friendly show will be a full Mudds production featuring actors and singers of all ages, and a live band. Tickets for each show go on sale four to six weeks before opening night and can be purchased at Reads Book Shop (135 Bridge Street, 613257-7323). Information and details about this entire colourful, clever, entertaining and engaging season of live theatre are in the new Mudds season brochure (available soon at many local businesses) or visit www.mississippimudds.ca.

DO YOU KNOW A LANARK COUNTY CITIZEN WHO… Has made a significant and/or extraordinary contribution to Lanark County in one or more of the following categories?

The Barra MacNeils all set to win new fans in Smiths Falls They grew up in a town the size of Smiths Falls, and make a point or playing rural communities whenever they can. They are the Barra MacNeils, one of Canada’s most enduring Celtic bands and they will be kicking off their fall Ontario tour at the Gallipeau Centre Theatre on Thursday, Sept. 10. “Playing small towns is a deliberate choice for the Barra MacNeils,” said Andre Bourgeois, the band’s manager for the past 10 years. According to Bourgeois, the MacNeils who grew up in Sidney Mines, Nova Scotia enjoy playing to rural communities that they can more easily relate to, even after years of playing large venues like Toronto’s Massey Hall. The family band is made up of five but sometimes four siblings who have played together for more than 27 years. “They [the siblings] get along remarkably well, I think partly because they’ve played together most of their adult lives, “ said Bourgeois. An innate respect for each other’s talents and the lack of a band hierarchy have no doubt contributed to their longevity. “There’s no band leader, no single lead vocalist, there’s more than one composer and three lead vocalists of equal caliber, and no one person decides for the group,” explained Bourgeois. The MacNeil siblings all started their musical careers as children in a home that encouraged live music. “My parents had the first piano in

town, so there was a real house party atmosphere, it was where everyone gathered, and we were all encouraged to play various instruments,” said Stewart MacNeil, the third of the brothers. The two oldest boys started playing in public at a very early age. “Sheumus and Kyle were both teenagers when they started playing bars and dance halls, actually Kyle was just 14,” said MacNeil. A few years later when they formed the Barra MacNeils, first Stewart and then Lucy the fourth in line joined them – when Lucy was just 10-yearsold. Today the band is made up of four brothers and a sister, Kyle on vocals, guitar, violin and mandolin; Lucy on vocals, bodhran, Celtic harp and fiddle; Sheumas on keyboards, piano, bodhran, fiddle, bouzouki and vocals; Stewart on vocals, accordion, tin whistle, flute, bouzouki and guitar; and Boyd on mandolin, fiddle, guitar, banjo and percussion. All incredible musicians in their own right they’re also joined by Jamie Gatti, one of, if not Canada top session bassists. “Jamie’s really part of the family now, he was born on the east coast but he used to live in Ottawa and play with the RCMP band, he’s been with us for more than 20 years now he’s an incredible jazz bass player,” said MacNeil with genuine warmth and admiration. A multiple award-winning musician Gatti has also recorded four CDs, all solo bass themed, with many original tunes and some rearranged standards.

The upcoming concert in Smiths Falls will feature a medley of music from the band’s entire career, including their famous family harmonies, and their ever-popular toe tapping jigs and haunting ballads. “When people hear the words Celtic music they tend to think, fiddle, fiddle and more fiddle, but that’s not the case with this band,” said Bourgeois. While they are touted as Canada Celtic ambassadors and they are steeped in the East Coast Gaelic tradition, they also bring their own unique flavour to their music with jazz and rock influences. “We’ll be playing music from our whole career and some new stuff. We’ll definitely feature family harmonies and Lucy who sings the ballads is singing better than ever this year,” said MacNeil, who says the band is also recording a new album this year. Not only does the show promise to be great musical entertainment but it will also incorporate some intricate step dancing, as at least three of the family members are accomplished dancers. So plan for a great evening of entertainment on a Thursday night. Tickets for the show are just $30, tax included, parking is free and there’s a canteen and cash bar open before and during the show. For tickets call the Gallipeau Centre at 613–205-1493 or purchase your tickets online through the gallipeaucentretheatre.com or through ticketpro.ca. Submitted by the Gallipeau Centre Theatre.

Lanark Highlands area is part of the Festival of Small Halls Community members in the Lanark Highlands region are setting the stage to welcome Gordie McKeeman and his Rhythm Boys and the Fortunate Ones, with local openers, Long Sault Trio and The Noisy Locomotive in September. The music is part of The Ontario Festival of Small Halls, which melds local music with big Canadian bands while showcasing rural halls with history and heart. The McDonald’s Corners Agricultural Hall and Mississippi Mills’ Union Hall will be the focus of the evening of toe-tapping, finger-snapping chords and beats. Both rural halls are at the heart of their communities. The McDonald’s Corners Agricultural Hall is the backbone of the community, hosting all types of community gatherings in addition to the fair each year. Similarly, Union Hall in Mississippi Mills has been used continuously for more than 150 years as a common place to celebrate community. That celebration of small-town life

Gordie McKeeman and his Rhythm Boys (pictured here) with the Fortunate Ones, with the Long Sault Trio and the Noisy Locomotive will appear in Lanark Highlands this month. and big music continues on Saturday, Sept. 19 when the space at McDonald’s Corners welcomes Gordie MacKeeman and his Rhythm Boys. Union Hall will fill with music on Friday, Sept. 25 when

the Fortunate Ones play live. Festival organizers are excited to announce that local openers will also grace the stage. The Long Sault Trio is staying close to home, opening the McDonald’s Cor-

ners show. Formed in the heart of Lanark County, the lively group is comprised of Linda Marie Grenier, Dave Tilston and Victor Maltby. Their eclectic mix of original songs and tunes borrows influence from folk, blues, jazz and traditional music. Noisy Locomotive is sharing the stage with the Fortunate Ones at Union Hall in Mississippi Mills. Trevor Pool and Ben Nesrallah offer up a unique blend of original and traditional string band music that brings to mind an oldtime kitchen party. Fiddle, mandolin, banjo, guitar, and their signature harmonies unite to bring that down-home show you’ve been hankering for. The festival focus on community and showcasing treasured halls, while also supporting hometown musicians, is exciting host communities across eastern Ontario. “Supporting the local music scene is important to the festival, so we’re proud to showcase the talent in each community,” said festival co-ordinator,

Kelly Symes. The entire community is jumping on board in McDonald’s Corners, with a community supper from 5 p.m. to before the show. This includes a $15 buffet dinner with dessert and tea or coffee. Show and dinner tickets are available at The Hill Store in McDonald’s Corners and from Dragon Moon in Perth, or from Sally Andrews at the McDonald’s Corners Farmers’ Market on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. To reserve online, email sassiboers@storm.ca. A dinner is also preceding the show at the Althorpe Bolingbroke Community Hall on Sunday, Sept. 27 at 3 p.m. Beòlach with local opening act, Jessica Wedden, will bring big music for a memorable matinee concert! A $10 buffet-style supper will follow the concert. In addition, the East Pointers with local opening act, The Unspoken Rests, will enliven the Maberly Community Hall on Sunday, Sept. 20 at 4 p.m. For more information, please visit www.thefestivalofsmallhalls.com.

An eventful, and event full, season at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre It’s been a hectic year at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre. From Labour Day 2014 to Labour Day 2015, the space will have hosted 144 events or one event every two and a half days. There were even two weeks that featured 10 events in seven days. The estimated total number of people who came into Full Circle’s doors is one-third greater than the total population of the community. The variety of events on offer was astonishing. From vaudeville to choral groups, from rock music to classical, from professional touring musicians to local homegrown talent, from sold-out international film to the premiere of a film about Perth itself, the range was broad and the events unique. There was entertainment for children and entertainment by children; professional theatre and a high school drama festival. Professional performers at the theatre came from the Maritimes, the United States, the Prairies and B.C., from Scotland -- and from, quite literally, around the corner. Not only was Full Circle Theatre used to premiere film, it was used to shoot film for two different productions. We celebrated the 200th anniversary of a major world event in film and the 100th anniversary of FCT’s seats with a joyous evening of vaudeville and burlesque. A seven-year old singing “Climb Every Mountain” stole our hearts and a woman whose voice had helped open the Winter Olympics astonished us with “Ave Maria”. And Rhapsody Blue opened our

The new season at Full Circle Theatre starts rolling on Sept. 16. eyes to the artistry of the burlesque. Along the way, of course, there was rehearsal, rehearsal, rehearsal for the seven extraordinary community theatre productions that marked BarnDoor Productions’ Twentieth Anniversary Season. From Shakespeare to hot off Broadway, Perth’s original community theatre went from strength to strength this past season. “This is the best show you’ve ever done” said an opening night patron at BDP’s 100th production, Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman. “The best show you’ve ever done?” said another, “It’s the best show I’ve ever seen!” The superlatives continued to mount as the

season went on. So, now, it’s on to a new season at Full Circle Theatre. Film Night International returns for a fifth season at FCT, beginning with a special, free pre-season screening of A Brilliant Young Mind on Sept. 16 for their loyal Perth audience, which was awarded to the Perth group by the Film Circuit, a part of the Toronto International Film Festival Group. Their full fall series (their 12th overall) begins on Sept. 30. Last season was a record-setting one and the new season is every bit as exciting. Go to www.filmnightinternational. blogspot.ca for full details.

The Academy of Music Theatre returns in the fall with another series of workshop productions for young people. The fall offering is Disney’s Aladdin. The Academy will be back again for a winter/spring workshop and in the summer of 2016. All the details are at www. musictheatre.ca Oct. 3 is the first touring event of the season when Little Green Hat brings Tales She Tells from Ottawa to FCT. Performed by Tess McManus, with accompaniment on the Celtic harp by Susan Toman, it’s a collection of music and stories from Ireland. The Winnipeg Free Press gives it four-and-a-half out of five stars and the Fully Fringed blog says “McManus is a delighful performer . . . funny and engaging.” Tickets are $22 and the performance begins at 7:30 p.m. BarnDoor Productions’ 21st season opens on Oct. 16 with Israel Horovitz’s My Old Lady. It’s the story of a man who inherits a Paris apartment - and the old woman who lives in it. A recent movie featuring Kevin Kline and Dame Maggie Smith, it’s a show that has been a huge hit the world over. It’s a delightful, thought-provoking comedy and it runs Oct. 16, 17, 22, 23, 24 at 8 p.m. and Oct. 18 and 25 at 2 p.m. That’s followed at the end of November by the premiere production of a new “holiday farce,” Snowed Under; then in February by David Mamet’s A Life In The Theatre; and, in April, Under Milk Wood, the final masterpiece by Dylan Thomas.

Along the way, and especially all summer next year, BDP will be mounting a series of special productions to celebrate the 200th Anniversary of Perth and the surrounding townships. Oct. 30 is another touring event, as Charles MacPhail Productions presents Bob Bossin in Davy, The Punk, a musical story of bookies, the mob and Toronto The Good. Charles MacPhail’s shows have been turning into regular sell-outs, so early booking is advised. Tickets will be available at www.shadowfax.on.ca Looking well ahead, Nov. 21 is the date for the premiere of The Story of Perth, Part Two, a documentary by Robert and Sharon Newton. The first part, telling about Perth’s first century, debuted at FCT last June to great appreciation -- the second part brings the story up to date. Tickets at www.ticketplease.ca That’s just the beginning of the story of Full Circle Theatre’s fifth season, as bookings through August of next year are already coming in and Perth’s ground-level, barrier-free theatre is looking to exceed last season’s remarkable numbers. To find out all the latest information - including information on season subscriptions and auditions for BarnDoor Productions’s shows – go to www.barndoorproductions.ca If life comes full circle at Full Circle Theatre, it’s going to be another hectic season.

During our time together the four of us discovered and discussed so many common points of interest. All that can do is lead to even more involvement with one another. It was a very special weekend. To me our nostalgic visit to Haliburton County, including a stop in my Dad’s boyhood village of Tory Hill, has opened yet another chapter in our lives. One we intend to expand upon in future. I think it is something everyone should consider. It seems our lives today are so busy that we often forget or push aside some of the things that are most important in our lives. Too often that includes family. It’s a circumstance that we at least are determined to rectify!

known, married Howard Balfour Maguire, my grandfather. Tory Hill My father Howard was the fourth of eight children and the oldest of five boys. He was born in 1930 at Harcourt in Haliburton County. When he was very young my Dad’s family moved to tiny Tory Hill where his father was employed as a teamster in the lumber camps that dotted heavily forested Haliburton County. Dad grew up in Tory Hill and had many fond memories of the place. Little wonder my father’s politics were always Conservative! Anyway, you can see my point. Tracing family history, as my great aunt Margaret and eventually my father did, is a very worthwhile exercise. I am delighted to have so much family information at my fingertips. It is contained in the 82-page book my father wrote and published about his own life in 2003. Needless to say that manuscript (it was printed strictly for family) is among my most treasured possessions. Two other things about our family I also want to share. My great-grandmother McNeely was a Riel. They pronounced their surname “Reel”. The name is actually pronounced “Ree-El”. We are related to Louis David Riel a Canadian politician, founder of the province of Manitoba and spiritual leader of the Métis people of the Canadian prairies. Yes, the same Louis Riel who was hanged after being found guilty of treason in the summer of 1885. Riel led two resistance movements against the Canadian government, one of which is popularly known as “The Riel Rebellion.” I have much more research to do on yet another family relationship. But this one is really intriguing. A branch of the Riel family moved to Richmond, Virginia and one member of their extended family eventually married an Ohio man named Jesse Grant, a tanner by profession. Among their children was Hiram Ulysses Grant. He later changed his name to Ulysses Simpson Grant (Simpson was his mother’s family name). Of course U.S. Grant is the famous American Civil War general who led the Union to victory in 1865 and eventually became the 18th President of the United States (1869-1877). So we have some very interesting family connections to say the least! Some of what I have just related came up during what turned out to be a nostalgic visit my wife and I made to my Dad’s native Haliburton County a few weeks ago. Kathleen and I accepted a long standing invitation to visit my cousin Connie Wood and her husband Rick who live just outside Haliburton. Connie is the

often, but I also learned so many things about our family, where they are now, what they are doing and some additional history as well. It was a productive experience and a thoroughly enjoyable one. Of course I seized the opportunity to take dozens of photographs and those will be passed along to my immediate family as well as interested members of my mother’s family and close friends. Everyone there pledged to meet again soon for a similar get-together and we will be inviting even more family to take part next time. In the wake of my parents passing family has become even more important to me. My cousin Connie and I spent time together as youngsters but when we began working full-time, married and had children of our own our relationship slipped and for several decades we saw each other only occasionally. Her mother’s death was the catalyst for us to renew our relationship. The fact we both have young grandchildren is

youngest child of my father’s oldest sister Lillian Henry (nee Maguire) who died in 2013. Connie is a career RN who currently teaches nursing at Trent University in Peterborough. Rick is a land surveyor. We had a wonderful visit and on the day we left for home, a Sunday, Connie invited many relatives who reside in that area to a family brunch. Among those in attendance were two of my father’s three surviving brothers. My Uncle Milford Maguire and his wife Rose live in Lindsay, my Uncle Phillip Maguire is from Bobcaygeon (his wife Gloria is currently recovering from a badly broken leg and could not attend). Also among the attendees were many of my cousins, of all ages, including one I had not seen for over 40 years. Connie and Rick’s two children and their two young grandchildren were there too. It was a truly wonderful few hours. Learning experience Not only did we renew acquaintances with family members we don’t see very

I wrote a column recently about the day my brother and I and our two sisters sorted through our parents remaining possessions and the emotions the experience elicited. My father died last November and our mother passed away just seven months later, in early June. Writing about personal matters is something of a balancing act for a newspaper columnist. You have to pick a topic that, although personal in nature, offers something other people can relate to. Evidently I chose the right topic in this case because the response from readers has been quite incredible. Thanks to all of you who took the time to email or stop me on the street to say how much you enjoyed that particular column. Buoyed by that success I will offer something this week that I am certain many of you will identify with as well. The older we get the more likely it is that we will begin to reflect on our past and on that of our family. Genealogy is a huge subject area. There is an endless number of websites dedicated to the topic. In fact when I Googled the word “Genealogy” there were more than 86 million results. Incredible! Fortunately for me I will never have to take to the long and winding road that so many are forced to follow if they want to gain insight into their family history, their roots. Members of the Maguire family, including my father, have already done the job. We are fortunate to have an amazing amount of information on the Maguire clan, the family origins in Northern Ireland as well as the relocation of so many relatives from Ireland and the United Kingdom to Canada. The Maguire name was first recorded in 956 and by the 14th century it had become the most prominent in the province of Fermanagh. Maguire and the many variants of the name (McGuire, MacGuire etc.) remains very common in Ireland and not surprisingly people with our spelling are widespread in Northern Ireland where the name originated. For the purposes of this article I will go back only as far as Jeremiah Maguire my great, great grandfather. He was born in Enniskillen, County Fermanagh (pronounced Fur-Man-Ah) on March 10, 1823. At the beginning of the great potato famine, in the 1840s, Jeremiah immigrated to Canada and Ontario. He was twice married. The first union produced three sons. His second wife, Mary Jane Balfour, had eight children with him. Jeremiah and Mary Jane went west in the early 1900s. He died March 30, 1906 and is buried near Neepawa, Manitoba. Many of their offspring remained in Ontario and our family tree also includes the names McNeely and Kirkpatrick. My great-grandfather was Alexander McNeely. He was born in Omemee in what is now called the City of Kawartha Lakes (formerly Victoria County) in south-central Ontario in 1872. Alex married Florence Riel in 1896 and the fifth of their eight children was my father’s mother Mary Pearl McNeely. In January 1923 Pearl, as she was

Gary Miller’s 1954 Buick Special 2-door hardtop full of iconic styling The massive vertical-tooth grille makes this car recognizable as a Buick from half a mile away. The headlights and parking lights are housed together in a downward pointing oval. The wraparound windshield was the beginning of a styling fad that swept through the industry from the mid to late ‘50s. And the raised portion of the rear fenders foreshadowed the tailfin craze that dominated the rest of the decade. Note also the wide whitewalls, the full wheel discs with red rims, the sweep-spear side trim, and

portholes on the sides of the front fenders, a Buick trademark since 1949. And under the hood of the 1954 Buick Special was a hot new V8 engine with 264 cubic inches and 150 horsepower, replacing the straight eight engine in Buicks since 1931. The bigger Buicks had received a new V8 in 1953 and now the Buick Special had one. Gary Miller of Miller Shell service station just west of Leamington bought his Buick Special about ten years ago from a man in Jordan Station, Ontario, and the deal included a very rusty 1954

Buick Skylark convertible, so rusty in fact that the frame was almost broken in two. That car donated its power steering unit to Gary’s ’54 Special and the Skylark later went to a collector in Sudbury who had six of them! The original 264 cubic inch V8 in Gary’s car has now been replaced by a 322 cubic inch ’56 Buick engine with 4-barrel carb that had been stored in a barn near Dorchester after being taken out of a ’47 Mercury hot rod 40 years ago. The engine had been very carefully stored and the skeleton of a mouse was found behind the water pump housing. After replacing the occasional gasket, Gary was able to fire it right up. The Dynaflow transmission was rebuilt by a shop in Windsor.

The car was apparently repainted once and the interior is like new. There was no evidence of rust anywhere and no body work was required. Gary repainted the black wheel rims red as a finishing touch. The odometer shows around 60,000 miles, and judging by the car’s amazing condition, that mileage could very well be accurate. I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, P.O. Box 255, 25 John Street, Leamington, ON N8H 3W2.

Clayton Area Bus Tour planned Oct. 3; tickets now selling until Sept. 12 The Lanark County Genealogical Society is planning a narrated Historical Tour of Clayton Village and surrounding area for Saturday Oct. 3. We are excited to highlight the very interesting past of what was a very important village in the early days of Lanark County. The beginnings of the area around Clayton village date back to the early 1820s when three main groups of people settled this part of the county. They were the Peter Robinson settlers, unassisted settlers and the Lanark Society settlers. The Peter Robinson settlers were mainly Irish Catholics, the unassisted settlers were mainly Irish Protestants and the Lanark Society Settlers were Scottish.

It made for an interesting mix of people who came together in a land where there was nothing but bush with a few trails and the waterways that provided transportation routes and the potential for water power to run mills. The land had the potential to be farmed after it was cleared. And so these folks arrived to daunting conditions with lots of hope and of necessity, drive to succeed. Our tour will highlight some of the accomplishments of these early settlers as we look at the village through the eyes of what used to be there. We will visit the pioneer farm of the Coulter family with a family graveyard, the Munro line where the early Munro

families pioneered, a native burial ground and the other cemeteries in the area. We will also make a brief stop at the Tatlock Marble Mine and then return to the village for a catered lunch and a short program. We have space for 45 people but tickets must be reserved by September 12. Tickets are $30. The bus tour alone is $20 and the lunch is $10.

Norm Foster, Canada’s most-produced playwright, is probably best known for his portfolio of breezy comedies. But it’s easy to forget that he’s just as adept at pulling our heartstrings as he is at tweaking our funny bones. Foster’s Kiss The Moon, Kiss The Sun, which opens at the Studio Theatre on Sept. 17, is a fine example of his versatility as a playwright, and proof that a touching dramatic tale can be told with a smile. Kiss The Moon, Kiss The Sun is the poignant story of a bond that grows between two special people wrestling with very human problems. Robert is a mentally challenged 35-year-old man, and Holly is the young woman he encounters by chance at a bus stop, pregnant and alone. Their connection forms the heart of the play, but Norm Foster has a canny way of layering his very accessible stories with tiers of meaning and relevance to our own lives. The title Kiss The Moon, Kiss The Sun, we learn, comes from a piece of framed needlepoint that graced Robert’s bedroom wall when he was a child. “Before this glorious life is done, I shall kiss the moon and kiss the sun.” As his mother, Claire, says, “It’s about trying to get the most out of life, but Robert and I have a different meaning for it: I’m the moon that watches over him at night, and he’s the sun who brightens up my days.” Ultimately, this is a story about relationships born of hardship, and of people finding the nerve to take responsibility and persevere against the odds. Director Barb Guthrie has assembled an extraordinary cast to bring this wonderful piece of

Non-emergency encounters Call the toll-free Bear Wise reporting line at 1-866-514-2327 (TTY 705-9457641) if a black bear is: • Roaming around, checking garbage cans • Breaking into a shed where garbage or food is stored • In a tree • Pulling down a bird feeder or knocking over a barbecue • Moving through a backyard or field but is not lingering. This line operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week from April 1 until Nov. 30. Trained staff can provide advice about black bear behaviour, how to avoid human-bear conflicts, and how to remove attractants from property. Reducing the chance of encounters Even if they’re not causing a threat to public safety, black bears should be discouraged from staying in populated areas. Visit ontario.ca/bearwise for tips and to learn about bears. Everyone must work together to keep black bears in the wild where they belong.

R0013428198_0903

The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry is working collaboratively with the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and local police services to protect public safety and educate communities across Ontario about black bear behaviour. Black bears that come into a populated area aren’t always a threat to public safety. This fact sheet explains who to contact about encounters with black bears. Emergency situations Call 911 if a black bear poses an immediate threat to personal safety by exhibiting threatening or aggressive behaviour, such as: • Entering a school yard when school is in session • Stalking people and is lingering at the site • Entering or trying to enter a residence • Wandering into a public gathering • Killing livestock/pets and is lingering at the site. Police are the first responder for any emergency situation. At the request of police, during daylight hours the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry will respond to emergency situations to assist.

Recently, Erin O’Toole, Minister of Veterans Affairs, announced national standards will be set for service dogs which assist Veterans with mental health conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The announcement was made during a visit to the National Service Dogs House and Training Centre in Cambridge, Ontario, where O’Toole met with veterans’ groups and members of psychiatric service dog training organizations. National standards will help to ensure consistency across the country for psychiatric service dogs. The Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB) will lead the development of the standards in consultation with veterans’ groups and psychiatric service dog training providers. “We expect this work will confirm what veterans have been telling us about the benefits of psychiatric service dogs – how these dogs have improved their quality of life. The Government of Canada is committed to supporting research to achieve better outcomes for Veterans with PTSD and other mental health conditions,” O’Toole stated. During the visit, O’Toole provided an update on the work being done to better serve Veterans and their families who are living with mental health conditions, including groundbreaking research into the effect of psychiatric service dogs on veterans with PTSD. The minister also highlighted the extensive network of mental health clinics and service points to assist veterans from coast to coast and the 24-hour hotline providing immediate psychiatric assistance for all veterans and their families.

Lainy Hodgins (right) will be honoured with a Fire Safety Award for her heroic efforts after Laurie Weir/METROLAND getting four people safely (including herself) from a house fire on Aug. 11. She’s pictured with Perth fire Chief Steve Fournier (centre) and fire prevention officer Peter Echlin. She Ryan Hodgins, one of four people his sister, Lainy Hodgins saved from a house fire on will be presented with her accolades, along with nine other people across the province, Aug. 11, sits inside the pumper truck at the Perth Fire Department.

Fire chief offers young heroine trip to Toronto for her life-saving moves Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

Lainy Hodgins will be honoured for her lifesaving heroics at a special allexpense paid trip to Toronto. Hodgins, 11, was one of four people inside a home on Elliot Street in Perth when it caught fire on Aug. 11. She remained calm in the face of adversity and managed to get everyone outside, including the home’s tenant, Bev Regan, who has mobility issues and needed

help escaping the blaze. When speaking with Perth’s fire Chief Steve Fournier about the fire a few weeks later, she was able to relay the late afternoon’s fire without much hesitation. She said she’d discovered the fire in the cord of the home’s air conditioner, then bolted upstairs to get her friend out of the shower, and find her brother. After coming back downstairs, she and Regan managed to get outside to safety.

EMPLOYEE PRICING IS ON!

The fire started in the air conditioner – an overloaded circuit, noted the chief, who pegged the damage at more than $150,000. Regan had content insurance, but there have been issues with locating the building’s owner. “We can’t seem to find him,” Fournier said, but they have cleared the home, so the tenants have free rein to salvage what they can. Lainy, however, is suffering from side effects of the fire. “I still have a bit of a sore throat,” she

said of some smoke inhalation. Lainy’s mom Keri-Lyn Fletcher admitted that she’s been obsessing with sharing personal safety lessons with her children. “We have six fire alarms in our home,” Fletcher said. “And Lainy won’t sleep with her door closed anymore.” Fletcher has been the go-between for Regan and the home, trying to retrieve what personal belongings haven’t been smoke or fire damaged. “The kids (Lainy and her younger

Graff discovers his regatta ‘parade’ was not really a parade Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

If your parade or event shuts down town streets, you will need to pay for on-duty police. That was the message from the OPP to Coun. Jim Graff this week after he made queries about the parade that preceded the Rideau Ferry Regatta preview at the Tay Basin on Friday, Aug. 14. Two years ago, just after the switch from the Perth Police Service (PPS) to the OPP, Graff told a meeting of the Perth Police Services Board (PSB) that the OPP had provided an escort for the arrival of the boats through the town for free. “It was good promotion for the OPP,” said Graff at the Thursday, Aug. 27 meeting. “This year we did not rely on that… we couldn’t afford it,” Graff

said. “We had our old fire truck escort us through town.” Graff said that he understood that the OPP “can’t provide that service for nothing,” but that “a lot of these organizations (i.e. Service clubs) are trying to keep costs down.” However, the Town of Perth’s chief administrative officer, John deRosenroll, informed Graff that his parade was, in actual fact, not an official parade after all. The fire chief, OPP detachment commander, and community services director, would have all had to sign off on such a parade, like the Santa Claus Parade or the Kilt Run. “(The regatta parade) would have happened with or without a police escort,” said Insp. Derek Needham, the OPP detachment commander for Lanark County. “It wasn’t so much a parade as it was boats being towed in… I wouldn’t

even call that regatta (parade) a parade. That’s just slowing things down.” Paid-duty OPP officers would only be brought in if street closures were required – like at the Glen Tay Block Race, being held that very evening, on the street just outside the window, Gore Street East. Needham noted that an aboriginal protest in Carleton Place last year kept to the sidewalk, so there was no need for an OPP escort. He did note that there were times when officers were on duty, helping out, but not as an official part of the event, like directing traffic onto Scotch Line Road as traffic streamed out of Conlon Farm after the Canada Day fireworks. Under that scenario, officers are not essential, but are there anyway. Some parades, like motorcycle rallies, also do not require police escorts, as they continue moving down town

Desmond Devoy/METROLAND

Members of the OPP were on hand to close down Gore Street East between Herriott and Foster streets on Aug. 27, for the beginning and ending legs of the Glen Tay Block Race. streets. However, some motorcycle events do take matters into their own hands. The recent Ride for the Cure, on Sunday, Aug. 23, left the parking lot of the CIBC branch on Highway 7. A cement mixer truck, painted in white and pink breast cancer awareness colours, blocked the westbound lanes at the inter-

section from the Mews’ parking lot onto the highway, while two motorcycles blocked the eastbound lanes until all of the motorcycles left together, bound for County Road 511. This all occurred a short distance from the Lanark County OPP’s headquarters.

HOME FIRE SAFETY TIPS FOR FALL: With the upcoming fall season approaching us, the urge may present itself for you to throw a log into the wood stove or start up the furnace to take the chill off the morning air. The Perth Fire Department recommends that all home owners have their heating systems maintained well before the heating season begins. Faulty furnaces not only waste energy, but they pose carbon monoxide and fire hazards. Gas, oil, propane and wood burning appliances as well as all chimneys should be inspected and cleaned by qualified contractors, to ensure all components are in good working condition. Squirrels or birds may have built nests in your chimney over the summer months and that could pose a real hazard when you start up your heating appliances. Do not pile boxes, papers or any other combustibles around your heating appliances. Test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors monthly. Batteries in detectors should be changed in or around the end of October to coincide with the changing of Daylight Saving Time to Standard Time. Smoke detectors are required on all levels of your home. Carbon monoxide detectors are required outside all sleeping areas. Fire extinguishers are your first line of defense in a fire. Buy one today and contact us if you require advice on operating and maintaining it. Fire extinguishers are date coded and most have a 25-year shelf life. For any inquires related to home safety, please contact the Perth Fire Department at 613-267-5574. Remember to use 911 in an emergency only.

ANIMAL CONTROL IN PERTH PARKS ASSISTANCE OF PARK USERS REQUESTED NEW REGULATIONS AND FINE: PERTH PLAYGROUND SITES AND SPLASH PAD The Town of Perth has beautiful parks and facilities that are for the beneﬁt of all. To ensure the enjoyment and to protect the health and safety of all park users, in particular small children and others in playground areas, the Town has established regulations for the control of animals. Park users need to be in control of their animals at all times. In the interest of Public Safety and animal welfare, pets (most often dogs) are not permitted to roam off leash. In addition, to ensure adequate control, leashes are not to be longer than three (3) metres. In response to recent concerns of park users, the Perth Parks and Facilities By-law #3849 now requires that pets be kept a minimum of 9m (30 ft.) away from all active playground areas, including the Town’s new splash pad. The potential for children to be bit or scratched by an unattended dog or other pet in a playground is evident, but there are also health concerns that arise from the presence of animals in play areas. There can also be dangers for the animals, particularly small dogs and cats, when children are engaged in vigorous, active play. The surface of a splash pad is not designed or intended to withstand exposure to hard, sharp objects. Damage to the painted surface by sharp objects or animal claws can result in damage requiring resurfacing or other repairs that cost thousands of dollars. The splash pad is not intended as a play or washing area for pets. The Town of Perth has recently posted signs indicating that pets must be leashed and kept 9m from play structures. The public is requested for their assistance in ensuring the parks remain safe for all users. Park Attendants are asked and expected to ensure that users are aware of and respect the regulations for animals in the parks. In the event a pet owner refuses to follow the regulations, a ticket with a ﬁne of $75.00 can be issued. Connected to Your Community - P3 - Thursday, September 3, 2015

Rideau Ferry United Church looks to open sermon topics to the community

Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Allowing lay people to suggest what they would like to hear in the Sunday sermon – and giving as much as three weeks’ notice about upcoming sermon topics – are just some of the ways a local United Church congregation is looking to make itself more relevant. “We need to ask our neighbours what they can be helped by,” said Lt. Col. The Rev. (retired) Dennis F. Dwyer, a former chaplain in the Canadian military, during his sermon on the future of the wider church at Bethel United Church in Rideau Ferry, Drummond/North Elmsley Township, on Sunday, Aug. 23. “God works through us, make no mistake.” He pointed to an example from a Roman Catholic church in rural Saskatchewan, which was on the verge of closing. They decided that, since they had nothing left to lose, they went out into the greater community “had all (the) subjects you would like the church to talk about, locally. They did this.” The community became “more and more interested” and, within a year, they had gone from attendance of about 20 to between 210 and 220 people. Dwyer suggested that this idea, of opening up, and previewing, the Sunday sermon, is an idea Bethel United should consider implementing. Not only are there competing visions for the future of the church, but there are also challenges facing the church as at-

tendance continues to dwindle. “We are not the same country we were 50, or even 30, years ago,” said Dwyer, filling in for the vacationing Rev. Elizabeth Tucker. “What has happened to us in the last 60 years? What is our future?” In the early 1960s United Church membership stood at more than two million people. While still Canada’s largest Protestant denomination, there are now more Muslims living in the Greater Toronto Area alone (450,000), by way of comparison, than there are United Church members across the country (about 420,000). Since Canada’s population has about doubled since then, these numbers show a “catastrophic decline.” “Whatever it is, it is not working,” said Dwyer. “Figures don’t lie.” Dwyer is no stranger to the divisions found within his church, which are common to many faiths, the struggle between more modern and traditional elements. He left St. Paul’s United Church in Perth in 2011 following a disagreement over the direction of that congregation. The church’s 42nd General Council met in Corner Brook, NL, and elected Saskatchewan Rev. Jordan Cantwell, its second openly gay leader. Dwyer described her as having “a passion for social justice. It looks like the liberal, social justice wing of our church is still very much in charge.” While the church of old could count on healthy coffers and a large pool

justice, or saving the whales, “we don’t need them (head office) to speak for us. We can speak for ourselves.”

Desmond Devoy/METROLAND

Lt. Col. The Reverend (retired) Dennis F. Dwyer speaks passionately to the congregation at Bethel United Church on Aug. 23. of volunteers, “we’ve now since run through most of those volunteers,” and cash, Dwyer said. He criticized the central church leadership for being detached from the grassroots. “That future is in our hands. We can’t wait,” said Dwyer. “We can and we will lead ourselves… In our Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook world, we no longer need to be motivated by head office. We can think for ourselves, you and I.” He pointed to that day’s reading from scripture, Matthew 22: 34-37, where Jesus answered a question that followers should, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and

with all your mind,” with special emphasis on the mind part. “We are called upon to think,” he said, pointing to the reading. One way in which he seeks to lead by example is helping neighbours in their personal and spiritual development. He used The Table Community Food Centre in Perth as an example, which grew from being a food bank to spreading out into the fields of advocacy and teaching cooking, “something we are doing locally as social justice.” The United Church has been to the fore amongst Canada’s Christian churches about being socially progressive. But whether talking about ecology, or social

Voice of Youth Aidan Williamson, a two-year attendee of the church, was called upon by Dwyer to deliver a youth perspective about changes he wanted to see in the church. “I feel there is some room for revision,” said Williamson. “I still believe in the presence of a pastor,” he said, but added that the services need not always be held within the four walls of the church building itself. While acknowledging “the church indeed has a wonderful setting,” he recommended a park or even in the field or home of a congregant. Williamson personally favoured the field or park idea, “being a nature lover.” “Music is extremely important,” said Williamson. “It is quite literally the voice of the soul.” However, while some of the older hymns can still be stirring, they are “a little outdated,” and he suggested modernizing the music list, to “keep things more modern.” Further to this, “prayers should be brief and non-repetitive,” and by “using more normal, modern words.” In an increasingly secular society, he urged that the United Church not place itself as being superior to other Christian denominations, since “they are all (from) the same religious roots. We are all God’s people.”

This will be the fourth year for this popular, free After School Program for children in Perth and area schools. It is always an exciting time when the raucous roar of children enlivens the centre again. Children will experience and share a variety of activities in a welcoming group setting. Coral Sproule, After School Program Coordinator, and her team of volunteers will guide children through a curriculum that includes cooking, gardening, nutrition, learning where our food comes from and how it gets to our tables. Not only do the children get to learn a valuable set of skills, and become excited about helping in the kitchen, they also come away with new friends and positive changes to their relationships

She will attend the luncheon with a member of the fire department as well. This is a “prestigious event that always attracts lots of media attention and will provide positive recognition for the recipient and the fire department,” the notice reads from the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services. The Perth Fire Department nominated Lainy for this award. “It was very heroic to have done what you did,” Fournier told her.

us at school,” Lainy said of the former Lanark Highlands fire chief during fire prevention week. Knowing how to get out of a burning building is what fire prevention officers are teaching children in schools, noted Peter Echlin, Perth’s fire prevention officer. “Each October we go out to the schools, or wherever we are invited, and speak about fire prevention planning,” Echlin said. “We also want to ensure there are working smoke alarms on every floor and people know three ways out of every room.” Fournier suggested to Lainy and Ryan, during their personal tour of the fire station last week, to get to know their surroundings. “Every time I go into a store, like Canadian Tire, I look to see where my exits are,” Fournier said. “It’s a force of habit. Not only is it part of my job, but it’s part of my life.” This year’s theme for Fire Prevention Week Oct. 4 to 10 is Hear the beep where you sleep. “Smoke alarms need to be outside all sleeping quarters,” Echlin said.

Perth and District Sports Hall of Fame seeks nominations process. The nomination period runs from September 1 to November 30. Zander acknowledges that the three month nomination period will provide plenty of time for nominators to complete their nomination forms. Nominations for induction can be made in three separate categories. The categories are athletes, builders (coaches, officials, administrators, etc.) and teams. All inductees will have made a significant contribution to sports. Not only is the Perth and District Sports Hall of Fame accepting nominations for potential inductees but it is also accepting nominations for the The Rusty White Award for Sportsperson of the Year in Perth and District. The Rusty

White Award recognizes a current individual or group who has made a significant contribution to sports in the previous year. The Rusty White Award will also be presented in 2016 but will recognize an athlete or team for their contribution to sport in 2015. The Rusty White Award is named for Ronald “Rusty” White who was a long-time athlete, coach and administrator within the local community. With the nominations from the public, the Perth and District Sports Hall of Fame Selection Committee will select the recipient of the Rusty White Award and select those who will be honoured in the Sports Hall of Fame for the inaugural induction. Nominations for the Hall of Fame that are not successful in 2016 will be kept on file for future

consideration. Zander says the board has come to an agreement with the Perth and District Union Public Library to use the library’s lobby to house the Sports Hall of Fame’s plaques acknowledging the Honoured Members and the recipients of the Rusty White Award. Nomination forms are accessible on line at www.perthanddistrictsportshall offame.com and also at the following locations: ZanderPlan in the Factory building on Sunset Boulevard, Fathers and Sons Barber Shop on Gore Street and at the Perth Library.

Dangling prepositions are awesomesauce

t was around wine o’clock with friends on Friday when the conversation came up about the newest set of words that has been added to Oxford dictionaries. Each year that branch of the Oxford family releases new words. Because it focuses on modern language, these words tend to reflect the words people are using today, things that come up as part of pop culture or technology and so on. It’s the slang used by kids today, you know. (These are words that aren’t likely to be included in the esteemed Oxford English Dictionary. At least not yet.) The thing is language changes. Shakespeare knew it – he made up stuff all the time. Do you think the Elizabethans really talkedeth thateth wayeth? Not exactly. People tend to be divided on this topic, but the fact is, language can’t help but evolve. As new things are created, they need names. Sometimes nouns become verbs. Remember how Google used to be just a thing and now it is an action? Have you googled anything today? Did you know “Google” is a play on “googol,” which is a mathematical term for the number one followed by 100 zeros? (According to “Google,” it was chosen to reflect the search engine creators’ mission to organize what seems to be an infinite amount of online info.) As hard as it can be to accept, things change. Here’s another example. You know how you were always taught (or should have been taught) in school not to dangle your prepositions? So, for example, instead of asking, “What are you waiting for?” it would be “For what are you waiting?” We all know that sounds overly formal and dumb. If you are in the business of writing things, you might have spent a lot of time and effort going out of your way to avoid even asking a question like that for fear of being accused of rudely dangling parts of speech. (Punishable by a lengthy prison term.) You might have, instead, asked: “Hey! What’s shaking?” or “Are you waiting for something?” Avoid avoid avoid. Well, like everything, it depends on who you ask, but some grammauthoritarians (see how I just made up a word?) now profess that it is OK to dangle those prepositions. Many among us would be thankful. Purists might continue to avoid. Anyway, I digress, because the point of this particular rambling epistle is to make note of some of the “awesome-

sauce” new words that my spell check won’t catch for years and years – if ever. Some of my favourites from the list include the ever-popular “brain fart.” My brain has been farting for years. Now all of us who are experiencing brain farts can feel just a tiny bit more legit. You’ve heard about a “pocket dial” or “butt dial”? That’s when your cell phone comes to life in your pocket and makes random calls – either leaving embarrassing messages with people or launching an expensive emergency response when it’s a call to 9-1-1. (Bad, pocket-dialers. Bad!) It has been added. “Hangry” has been hanging around for a while and represents that phenomenon when you are so hungry that you get cranky. Been there. Some political terminology made the list, too. The Greek economic crisis referring to the possible exit of Greece from the European Union sparked the term “Grexit.” I am delighted to see the word “fur baby” on the list. I was first introduced to this term in the 1990s my editor at the time, Maureen Pegg. Maybe she made it up? If so, way to go! In any event, it finally officially recognizes a person’s dog or cat or other furry pet/baby. Here’s another one that has been around forever: MacGyver – the verb! It’s sort of like Google in that it started as a thing (the namesake of the popular 1980s TV show) and evolved into a verb that means to make or repair something in an improvised way using whatever is handy. “Swatting” is there, and it has gone beyond smacking mosquitoes to refer to yet another expensive emergency response related to hoax calls. (Behave, people.) And don’t forget “manspreading.” I saw a story about it on the news recently where this particular sitting position was becoming problematic on public transit. Love it or hate it, we are creative beings and with new things come new words. I think even Shakespeare would approve. He might even dangle a preposition or two.

The Ottawa Senators Hometown Tour made a stop in Perth on Wednesday, Aug. 26 with 220 fans obtaining autographs from Mark Stone and Chris Wideman. The rain shower didn’t dampen the spirits of those in attendance. The event took place at the Canadian Tire store on Highway 7.

Whither the no-debate candidates?

hy isn’t Justin Bieber ready, Daddy?” My eldest daughter Michaela was standing at the bottom of the stairs, calling up to me this past Monday night. She had just seen the now infamous “He’s Just Not Ready,” Conservative hit-job, I mean, ad, attacking Justin Trudeau on television. “Not Justin Bieber,” I said. Not the boy on her pyjamas, or the boy who sings the “Baby” song. “Justin Trudeau,” I said, emphasizing the last name, which, assuredly, is both a boon and an albatross around his neck. Then, for added emphasis, following up on a joke I’d been making to her about the candidates, said, “Y’know, the guy with the nice hair?” She knew. As a toddler, she had excitedly pointed to the front page of the National Post in April of 2013 when Trudeau was elected Liberal leader. His wife by his side, he was holding his young daughter. She had pointed to the daughter, and asked why the man was so happy. “He got a new job, honey,” I said. And now he’s applying for another

DESMOND DEVOY Des Says one. Her observations on politics, embryonic as they are, underlined something I have been thinking about with the upcoming televised leaders’ debates, and reports that Conservative candidates across the country are being told to avoid debates. In fairness, the Conservative incumbent in this riding, Scott Reid, has always been very good at getting back to me and my colleagues. But then, he’s also running in an area as true blue as they come. Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston is far from a marginal seat.

Ibbitson has also had trouble tracking down Tory candidates. Walkom also found that Vancouver Island Conservative candidate Mark MacDonald (Nanaimo-Ladysmith) has decided to “decline all invitations of debates, positions, and questionnaires during the election campaign.” Here’s the kicker – MacDonald is a former journalist. A Star editorial this week opined, “Conservatives running for office are being ‘advised’ from on high not to attend all-candidates debates or speak to reporters during the entire federal election campaign.” Reporters Robert Benzie and Richard Brennan uncovered this unofficial “edict,” of “no debates, no media.” It appears now that Stephen Harper has all but given up on the old “consortium” debates.

by a journalist with gravitas and attended by the top four major party leaders, journalist and author Paul Wells. (As this is a column, I can safely say that the Bloc Quebecois has, blessedly, become an irrelevancy on the Canadian political scene and good riddance. Their exclusion from the debate was barely even noticed and not missed.) Now, it is true that we in the media may somewhat be in thrall of debates and accord them some far greater truth than they may deserve. There’s always talk of the knock-out punch, who had the best line, who struggled, who succeeded. Each time we go into them believing that they will be up in the pantheon of great debates, like the Lincoln-Douglas debates of 1858. Instead, we are surprised when they devolve into shouting matches with everyone talking over everyone else. Even I, who love politics, can find my eyes glaze over, and will suddenly snap to attention and wonder why they are suddenly talking about bombing Iraq, and then realize that I had just daydreamed the last five minutes away when they had started talking about infrastructure funding. In fact, some debates have become so scripted, with claptrap

lines and talking points littering the evening like a minefield, that former CBS news anchor Dan Rather, in a column posted online, came up with his own take on the old Bob Newhart drinking game. This one was re-jigged for the Republican Party’s debates. For example, whenever a GOP candidate invokes the name of Ronald Reagan, take a shot… (For a Canadian version of this, you can adapt it to whenever Stephen Harper says, “Let me be clear/Let’s be clear,” or whenever Thomas Mulcair forces a smile, or Elizabeth May appears to look off into the top left or right hand corner of your TV screen in exasperation, etc.) Now, debates are important. We get to see if a leader can think on his or her feet, how they respond under pressure, how they interact with other leaders, if they take low blows or the high road. There are cringe-worthy moments, like in 2000, when Canadian Alliance leader Stockwell Day resorted to a cheap trick, a handwritten sign pledging no two-tier healthcare – which former Prime Minister Joe Clark tried to slap out of his hand like an exasperated father trying to control his silly twit of a son – and even coming out from behind the lectern. Those may have told us a lot, for good or ill, about Day

and who he was as a person. When asked, former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney said that anyone who thought that debates were irrelevant need only look at his encounter with then Prime Minister John Turner in 1984 and his now famous “You had a choice,” comment on Liberal patronage, which helped turn the election in Mulroney’s favour.

There will be more debates, but not everyone will be showing up, and not all of them will be general in nature. Here are the upcoming debates, their times, dates, sponsors, locations, and, as of this writing on Sept. 1, the attendees. • Thursday, Sept. 17, 8 p.m. EST. The Globe and Mail and Google Canada co-host a debate on the economy in Calgary. The Conservatives, Liberals and NDP are slated to attend. • Thursday, Sept. 24. The closest we may have to an old-fashioned general debate – in one of our official languages, anyway – will be the French-language consortium debate in Montreal. Sponsored by CBC/Radio-Canada, CTV, Global, and Tele-Quebec, the big three parties, as well as the Greens and Block Quebecois, will debate in Montreal. • Monday, Sept. 28. The Conservatives, NDP, and Liberals, gather at the invitation of the Aurea Foundation in Toronto for a bilingual debate on foreign policy. These are part of the foundation’s regular Munk Debates. • Friday, Oct. 2, 8 p.m. A second French-language debate, also in Montreal, but this one sees private broadcaster TVA go it alone for a general debate. All the major parties, save for the Greens, have been invited.

• Thursday, Oct. 8, 6 p.m. What, in ye olde days of antiquity, would have been the Englishlanguage “consortium” debate, sponsored by CBC, CTV, Globe and Tele-Quebec. The Liberals and Greens are in, the Conservatives have begged off and the NDP has yet to confirm. There are several all-candidate debates planned for our riding of Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston too. While times and locations are still being hammered out, the dates and sponsors are: • Monday, Sept. 21, Perth Civitan Club. Sponsored by the Lanark District Labour Council. Saturday, Sept. 26, Beckwith Township municipal offices. Sponsored by an association of Lanark County farmers. • Wednesday, Sept. 30, Sydenham. Sponsored by our sister newspaper, the Frontenac News. • Thursday, Oct. 1, Kingston. Sponsored by the National Farmers Union. • Monday, Oct. 5, Sharbot Lake. Sponsored by the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario. One of my favourite books is Edwin O’Connor’s The Last Hurrah (1956). Within its pages, the wily old mayor Frank Skeffington tells his nephew that he gets on radio and television as often as he can. From his perspective,

it’s a form of free advertising, after all. So why the wariness from Conservatives to talk to the media? Well, I think it all goes back to 2004. The Conservatives looked set to defeat Paul Martin’s Liberals, when a couple of things happened to help Martin out of his jam. First, the Liberals went negative. Then, enough Ontario voters stuck with the devil they knew on Election Day. But most pivotal, a couple of Conservative candidates started going off script and spouting off about abortion and other hot-button social issues, feeding into the “secret agenda” fears of some voters. It has been a tight ship since then. Now, the Conservatives are trying to spin this as being a tight team, everyone singing from the same hymn-book. A solid team follows their captain, after all. But this game of keep-away, hide-the-candidate, is like a sad version of Weekend At Bernie’s (1989). Yes, local all-candidates debates can be stacked with partisan questioners. You can smell a “plant” at the microphone from a mile away. But then again, didn’t many of these candidates get their nominations by stacking halls themselves?

Vandalism ruined volunteer’s day DEAR EDITOR:

I have been a hard working volunteer at the reuse centre in the Glen Tay Waste Disposal Site for the past two years. For the past several months I have been using an old stroller to haul unrecyclable materials that have been left at the reuse centre’s drop off area. This stroller has proven to be invaluable to me. I have had a bad back so I would just load up this stroller and take it to the dumpsters. The last one I had was stolen. I had hidden it behind a dumpster one day when I was leaving at 3:30 p.m. The site closed at 4 p.m. When I came in at 8 a.m. the next morning it was gone. Needless to say, I was furious. A few months later another stroller was left for reuse. I took it. I bought a chain and a lock. Since then, when I was finished for the day, I would lock it up. This has been working beautifully for several months. People have seen me using this stroller all these months so they were aware that it was for the use of the volunteers. However, on Aug. 22, when I went to the centre and checked on my stroller, I noticed that someone had removed the wheels from this stroller. Unbelievable! The person(s) could not out-rightly steal the stroller as it was securely chained and locked up, so they took the wheels. I have to say this act of vandalism: 1) Ruined my day; 2) Broke my spirit; and, 3) Caused me to lose a whole lot of my faith in humanity. Of all the people who come to the centre, 95

per cent of them appreciate our (free) service and value the hard work we do. But all it takes is one jerk like this to ruin it for all. I want these wheels returned! Anne Nagle Christie Lake Road Perth

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s 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 Conflicting instructions make it difficult to please others this week, Aries. Try your best to meet others’ needs, and look to others for help if the need arises. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, your stubbornness can sometimes be an asset, but don’t let it get in the way this week. Approach a task with a new perspective and don’t hesitate to solicit others’ opinions. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, even though you are reluctant to show your hand this week, others know what’s on your mind. It’s tough for you to remain aloof when you seem like an open book. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 You are full of energy this week, Cancer, so put it to good use. Lend a hand to others who have a lot on their plates and tackle some lingering projects of your own as well. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, don’t take anything for granted this week. A project might go off without a hitch, but you need to be prepared in case it does not. Remain aware. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you may be so engrossed in your own routine that you miss some of the subtle goings-on at work. If suddenly you feel out of the loop, make an effort to be more in the know.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, speak up about a situation that you feel needs to be addressed. Your voice won’t be heard if you remain quiet, but your point of view offers some valuable insight. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, rather than focusing on your own progress this week, see what you can learn from others without making everything a competition. This can be a special learning process. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you may be doing your best to demonstrate your good intentions, but others may not be satisfied with your efforts. Reexamine your approach. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 A big payoff awaits if you work hard and exercise patience this week, Capricorn. Although you may be pushing for immediate results, the outcome will take some time. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Don’t abandon your spontaneity this week, Aquarius. Hang out with others who appreciate flying by the seat of their pants. You will be in for a good time later in the week. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 A sense of self-confidence does not mean that everything will immediately go your way, Pisces. You still need to work hard to have things play out right. 0903

Province nominates Renu Mandhane as new human rights commissioner Ontario has nominated international human rights law expert Renu Mandhane for appointment as the next chief commissioner of the Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC), subject to review by the Standing Committee on Government Agencies. Mandhane is executive director of the International Human Rights Program at the University of Toronto, Faculty of Law, including its award-winning legal clinic. Prior to joining the University of

Toronto in 2008, Mandhane was a practicing criminal lawyer, representing survivors of domestic and sexual violence and federally-sentenced prisoners. “As an expert in the area of human rights and a passionate advocate for freedom of speech and the rights of women, Mandhane will bring invaluable experience to the Office of the Chief Commissioner, and will help solidify Ontario’s leadership on human rights on the global stage. I would also

like to extend my sincere appreciation to interim chief Ruth Goba for her stewardship of the commission over the past several months,” stated Madeleine Meilleur, Attorney General. “I am pleased to congratulate Renu Mandhane on her nomination to be the next chief commissioner of the OHRC. The journey towards achieving the goal of a culture of human rights in Ontario requires frequent renewal and inspired leadership. I know that Renu’s experi-

ence, commitment and passion will provide just that for Ontarians,” added Barbara Hall, former chief commissioner of the Ontario Human Rights Commission A longtime advocate for the advancement of women’s human rights, Mandhane is a member of the Canada Committee of Human Rights Watch, and is an active advisor to PEN International. Pending review by the Standing Committee on Government Agencies,

Mandhane will take over the role of chief commissioner from interim chief Goba in the fall 2015. Previously, the position was held by Barbara Hall, who retired from the post in February 2015 after nearly 10 years of service. “I am excited to work with my fellow commissioners to serve Ontarians through relevant and impactful engagement that addresses the needs of the most vulnerable members of our society,” said Mandhane.

Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo first carbon neutral zoo in North America more wildlife habitat, noise and wind buffers, increased forest cover in Ottawa and lots of plain old peace and quiet. Research shows that our hectic urban lives are soothed and improved, hospital recovery times are shortened and certain common problems such as stress, Attention Deficit Disorder and overwork become more manageable when we are in regular contact with trees, green space and natural lands.

“We are delighted to see more and more local businesses taking responsibility for the emissions they produce,” said Jason Kelly, chair of the Rideau Valley Conservation Foundation. “It means more trees are being planted for a greener, healthier community – now and in the future.” The reptile zoo has the largest and most diverse animal education outreach program in Canada and has trained zoo-

REID, Bob - In loving memory of a dear husband, father and grandfather who passed away September 1st, 2014 We thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday, and days before that, too. We think of you in silence, we often speak your name, Now all we have are memories, and your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake, With which we’ll never part. God has you in His keeping, We have you in our heart. They say there is a reason, they say that time will heal. But neither time or reason will change the way we feel. For no-one knows the heartache that lies behind our smiles, No-one knows how many times we have broken down and cried. We want to tell you something, so there won’t be any doubt. You’re so wonderful to think of but so hard to be without. Remembered always, Love Donna, William, Julie, Nolan, Jessica & Curtis

Legion to host barbecue Sept. 20 for Canada Army Run

Terry O’Hearn

On Saturday, Sept. 12, Legion member and veteran Frank Larabie, along with his “Walky Talkie” team, will host a barbecue at our branch. The barbecue is to raise funds and awareness prior to the Sept. 20 Canada Army Run, when the team will take part in the half-marathon distance in honour and memory of two of his comrades-inarms. Larabie has been taking part in the event for several years, and this year he is walking in memory of Warrant Officer Dennis Brown and Private Travis Bromley. “The mother of Pte Bromley and the widow of WO Brown will be joining and inspiring us on our journey this year,” Larabie said. Supporters can make donations to the “Soldier On” programme, or contribute directly to team expenses. Look for more information on the barbecue in our Facebook group, and a more detailed story will be coming in the near future. The Ladies Auxiliary will be hosting a craft sale on Oct. 24, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. If you wish to rent an eight-foot table at $20 to sell your crafts or goods, please contact Betty-Anne Lawlor at 613466-0628 or e-mail bettyannelawlor@gmail.com to reserve your spot. Regular branch events begin on Sept. 12 with the Saturday Jamboree from 2 to 5

Branch administrator Laina Trevena advises that New Year’s Eve is still available for booking, as well as some weekends for Christmas parties. Please call her soon at 613267-4400 before available dates are all booked up. Days of Yore … From The Perth Courier dated November 8, 1907, on the first race called “Rogers & Nicoll’s Race”, which the next year became known as the famous Glen Tay Block Race: “The honour of winning the first prize, the beautiful silver cup, fell to Mr. Edmund B. Code, who finished the eight miles in the remarkably good time of 52 minutes, 43 seconds. Mr. Code is a son of County Treasurer John Code, and a student of the Perth Collegiate Institute, and is well known as an all-round athlete. His win was a popular one and he received loud and long applause from the hundreds of people who watched the finish.”

Coun. Jim Graff, the new Perth police services board chair, chats with Insp. Derek Needham, Lanark County OPP detachment commander, before the start of the PSB meeting on Aug. 27.

Situation Table hiring committee may grow to five

Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

The Perth Police Service Board (PSB) is looking to expand the hiring committee for its new Situation Table management coordinator from three to five. “We want this very clear, so that the whole process (is transparent),” said Coun. Jim Graff, the new chair of the PSB after the resignation of former chair, and provincial appointee, Stephanie Gray. “This really is an important project for us,” he said at the Thursday, Aug. 27 meeting. Gray resigned last month to pursue an upcoming job opportunity which, had she stayed on as chair, would have created a conflict of interest. The selection committee is so far comprised of Graff, Acting Mayor John Gemmell, and Insp. Derek Needham, detachment commander for the Lanark County OPP. It was suggested that the two new

members could be drawn from service agencies, like the Children’s Aid Society, to widen the breadth of experience on the committee. Needham also suggested that the PSB “start talking about other PSB chairs because they will be involved.” The contract position, according to a job description posting on the Town of Perth’s website, calls for “the services of a contract management coordinator to provide managerial support for the Lanark County Situation Table Project.” Gray has long been a proponent of the Situation Table project, also known as The Hub policing model. The 24-hour per week position pays $25 per hour, and the contract is for one year, with no benefits. Resumes and cover letters are due by Friday, Sept. 4, at 4 p.m. Graff reported that the Situation Table grant applications were in place and “steps are in place to take it to the next step.”

A Pink Pill for Female Sexual Equality????? George Carlin, the American comedian, when referring to God, once remarked, “He, and if there is a God, I am convinced he is a he, because no woman could or would screw things up this badly”. I agree that if more women were in charge, this world would be a safer planet. But a recent medical announcement about female sexuality makes me wonder if women should be careful of what they wish for, like the pink pill, Addyi (flibanserin). It’s Dr. Gifford-Jones just been approved in the U.S., but not yet in Canada. We know that the blue pill has had a major impact on male sexuality. It’s been 17 years since Viagra was approved for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). Since then 25 drugs have been approved to treat male sexual problems and zero for women. But before women went on the war path and demanded sexual equality, it would have been prudent to remember Maurice Chevalier’s remark, “Vive la Difference!”. Male ED was an easier problem to solve. It was simply a deficiency of blood flow. All researchers had to do was increase blood flow TO-YOU-KNOW-What and “Eureka”, the problem was solved. So when women’s equal rights groups scream that scientists ignore women’s issues, they forget that mechanical problems are one thing but the complex issues of female anatomy another. “La Difference” creates a huge obstacle. In 1999 a report in The Journal of the American Medical Association stated that 40 percent of U.S. women suffered from some type of sexual dysfunction. Now Sprout Pharmaceutical claims its pink pill can even the score and rescue women from this predicament. I’m sure they will use prime time TV to spread the merits of Addyi . So why has it taken so long for approval? FDA officials claim that the drug does not have “very robust effectiveness”. For instance, women reported only one extra sexually satisfying event a month. In addition, there are side-effects such as nausea, dizziness, insomnia, drug interactions and combining the pill with alcohol can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. At this point feminists might justifiably counter, “what about the side-effects of Viagra such as visual changes, sudden loss of vision, nausea, sweating, irregular heart rate, chest pain, shortness of breath and swelling of YOU-KNOW-WHAT if it lasts more than four hours? So how come The FDA approved Viagra?” Female criticism appears to be justifiable. But again, let’s not forget “Vive la Difference”. The big difference is that the pink pill is supposed to provide an increase in women’s libido, not by action on pelvic organs, but by changing brain activity. That’s a horse of a different colour. Addyi was initially developed as an antidepressant but never approved. Sprout now claims that it involves three neurotransmitters, dopamine, noreprinephrine and serotonin, all of which affect sexual desire. But Barbara Mintzes, a senior lecturer at the University of Sydney, claims there is no evidence that women with low sexual desire exhibit abnormal brain function. If I were a woman I’d worry that a pill, developed as an antidepressant, is now to be used as a sexual stimulus. Moreover, Viagra is prescribed when partners desire sex. The pink pill is to be used every day. Good sense tells me that altering brain function day after day is a questionable move with possible unintended consequences. I’ve fought for female equality for years and have several scars on my back to prove it. I’d be in favour of the pink pill if it was intended to correct a mechanical problem. But Chevalier was right that “La Difference” makes things unequal. So I believe that history will show that women may get more than they expected with this issue. And that Aristotle was right when he wrote that, ‘The worst form of inequality is the attempt to make unequal things equal”. It may also be the most dangerous. R0013436915/0903

Perth Blue Wings ice new CCHL2 team - showcase weekend Sept. 11 to 13 Laurie Weir

The Perth Blue Wings held its training camp over the weekend, Aug. 29-30, in Carleton Place at the Neelin Street Community Centre. Activities included on-ice skills and drills, team lunch, and blue and white scrimmages. The team opens season next weekend.

ljweir@metroland.com

The CCHL Tier 2 hockey season is kicking off in style for the Perth Blue Wings this week, with some exhibition action in anticipation of the league’s showcase weekend Sept. 11 to 13.

I was very impressed with the players fitness test results – showing many had worked extremely hard this summer to get stronger and faster.

R0013435786_0827

Team owner Michael McLean opened camp for 31 players who were in town on Friday, Aug. 28 at the Best Western Plus Parkside Inn and Spa for a meet and greet, then strength and conditioning testing. “I was very impressed with the players fitness test results – showing many had worked extremely hard this summer to get stronger and faster,” McLean said. The team currently has seven Perth players on the roster, which also includes guys from Smiths Falls, Carleton Place, Almonte, Shawville and Ottawa. “Perth players, Karson McCartney and Jake Erwin have joined our team this season,” he said. Junior A fans may remember McCartney as a former Smiths Falls Bears player for the past three seasons. Erwin was acquired in a trade last week from Gananoque for Brodie Cross. “Our players are excited about the new season and the new league,” McLean said. “They are looking forward to competing against old time rivals like Westport, Athens, Brockville and Prescott.” McLean said there is also plenty of buzz around the grand opening Showcase weekend in Perth next weekend. “We play the very first game in league history - so that is a great honour,” McLean said. The team will be hosting Athens in an exhibition game on Friday night, 7 p.m. followed by two road games. Saturday, they will play at the Smiths Falls arena at 3 p.m. and Sunday, the boys will be in Athens for a 7 p.m. start. (Wednesday, they hosted Westport, but results were not available at press time.) McLean said he will have his roster solidified after this weekend. “Hockey is back!” he said.

With a theme like Sheep and Goats, there wasn’t a baad time to be had at the 133rd Annual Maberly Fair on Saturday, Aug. 29. The day started with a parade, running from the new fire hall to the fairgrounds, and featured antique farm machinery, goats, youngsters in costume, fire trucks and more. Above, Ian MacDonald shows off his 1950 McCormick Farmall. The original price: $1,700. To the right, participants encourage their animal to ‘Say goat cheese!’

Canadian Tire in Perth was the place to be on Aug. 26 as the Ottawa Senators Chris Wideman and Mark Stone visited for about an hour, signing autographs and having photos taken with a slew of fans, young and old. Stone is a Canadian born (Winnipeg) right-winger who is 23 years old. Last season, in 80 games with the Senators, he accumulated 26 goals and 38 assists. Wideman, 25, is from St. Louis, MO, and played last season with the Binghamton Senators in the AHL. He had nine goals and 42 helpers in 73 games. He was drafted by Ottawa in 2009. The visit was part of the Senators Hometown Tour from Aug. 18 to 20 and Aug. 25 to 27, and pit stops were made in 12 communities including Alexandria, Gloucester, Gatineau, Hull, Cornwall, Casselman, Renfrew, Carleton Place, Kingston, Perth, Nepean and Kemptville. Those who wanted an autograph from two players (they were different at each stop along the tour), had to be at the respective Canadian Tire store when it opened on the morning of the afternoon stop to pick up one of 220 bracelets. For Pierre Hofstatter, owner of the Perth Canadian Tire, he said quite a few fans had lined up at 6:30 a.m. Wednesday morning. “We don’t open until 7:30 a.m.,” he

tors gear,” Hofstatter said. “It’s great for the community to have the guys stop here on their tour. We were glad to have them.” The Senators, who were in Kingston earlier in the day, appeared in Perth at 6 p.m. They arrived by RV, and first out of the doors was Spartacat, the Sens’ mascot, followed by Wideman and Stone, who were whisked away to their autograph signing tent/table at the head of the lengthy lineup. It took exactly one hour for the boys to sign the autographs and have their photos taken with fans. Some who didn’t have bracelets for autographs were allowed to get up close with the Senators only after all those who had them had gone through the process. “They’re a class act,” said Deborah Baker from Portland, who brought her granddaughter, Madisyn Peck, to Perth for the action. She didn’t have a bracelet. “They waited for us and signed cards… classy guys.” Fans all ages were sporting their own jerseys, hats, flags, pillows and foam fingers. Many kids took advantage of the interactive hockey games. Fans could also enter to win Sens tickets and even meet the CTV Ottawa and TSN 1200 crews who were broadcasting live. The team’s regular season begins on the road Thursday, Oct. 8 against the Buffalo Sabres.
