Hillier hopes Hudak leadership vote will clear the air By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Randy Hillier says he did not want his ruminations about Tim Hudak’s continued leadership of the Progressive Conservative party to be made public. But, made public they were, in the guise of a letter sent to the party’s president, Richard Ciano, and copied to other members of the party executive, on Aug. 6, in which he expressed his hope that another leadership vote would clear the air for Hudak. “It was the unexpected release of this confidential letter to the Toronto media that brought my position on the matter to public light,” wrote the Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington MPP in an email exchange with this newspaper on Friday, Aug. 23. “My position, although occasionally distorted and torqued by some in the media and political circles, is expressed with clarity in my original correspondence with the P.C. Party…This letter is the best clarification or comment I can provide you, as it speaks directly and completely to my position.” The party will meet later this month in London, Ont., for its annual policy convention. Tory leaders in Ontario only face a leadership review in the months after a losing election. Hudak, who defeated Hillier for the party leadership in 2009, won his leadership vote in February of
2012 with 78.7 per cent support, after losing the provincial election the previous Oct. 6. The calls for a new look at Hudak’s leadership came after the party only picked up one seat out of five by-elections held on Thursday, Aug. 1, where it had been leading in polls in at least two other by-elections that day before the polls closed. “Despite making tremendous gains in the last general election and winning a seat in Toronto for the first time in nearly two decades, there are party members and media pundits who have come out against Tim’s leadership, in particular since these last by-elections,” wrote Hillier to Ciano. “This proposed amendment is evidence of that. Historically, publicly-expressed doubts, when they are left unattended, have proved most damaging to our leader’s image and our party’s morale.” Hillier charged in his letter that “that continued, unaddressed criticism of Tim will subject him to a death by a thousand cuts. To me, our party and leader deserve more than that.” He urged that the board allow for the proposed constitutional amendment to be debated in London, since, from his point of view, “anything less will be viewed as procedural manipulation and raise further suspicion and ire… Giving the party an open forum to discuss this matter will shut the door once and for all on our leader’s detractors.” By not allowing this, Hillier charged
that it could very well hurt the party’s chances at the next election. While scheduled for the fall of 2015 under the fixedelection date law, with a minority government at Queen’s Park, it could come at any time. It appears as though Hillier got his wish last week when Ciano announced on Aug. 26 that he, the party executive, and constitution committee, had voted unanimously to allow for a debate over a new leadership review process. This comes despite the reported protests of Hudak. After a debate, a show of hands will be used to vote on the motion during the Sept. 20 to 22 meeting. According to the Toronto Star, the motion states that “party members should be able to trigger a leadership review no sooner than 14 months after the previous review…and no later than six months before a scheduled province-wide election.” “The party executive was of a similar mindset to myself and followed through with the right course of action,” said Hillier during a telephone interview with the Courier on Friday, Aug. 30. “It’s always important, in my view…that people have a time and place to speak, whether you agree with them or not.” Until now, Hillier charged that party members only had “one avenue, one process,” to deal with leadership questions. If approved, “this creates a secondary process,” though he noted that it would require a two-thirds majority of delegates

in London – and he hasn’t even seen the wording of the amendment yet, one of nine proposed constitutional amendments. “I promised I would never vote on something that I had not read. It would be jumping the gun,” said Hillier. “Never was it a case of…a leadership review. I have confidence in people to weigh the arguments. I feel people should be more engaged in democracy.” Hillier had not intended for his letter to be made public, and said “I was absolutely surprised,” when it hit the Toronto media, and by the stir it caused. He said that allowing members a process to be able to challenge a leader’s grip on power has “merit to the concept,” and that he did not want to see a situation like occurred in Australia, where Labour leader Kevin Rudd swept to power in 2007, before being ousted by Julia Gillard in 2010 – only for Rudd to wrench power back from her this past summer, in the lead up to a federal election this Saturday. “The membership was not consulted at all,” said Hillier of the internal Aussie tussle, which makes the Tory dispute seem tame in comparison. “You certainly don’t want to get into (a situation like) that.” Hillier was unsure whether he would speak to the party constitution amendment in London later this month. “I don’t necessarily speak to every amendment,” he said, having spoken in favour, and against, amendments at party get-togethers in the past.

News – Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps (RCSCC) Lanark Petty Officer Daniel Vincent, of Almonte, recently returned from a five-week trip aboard the Canadian Coast Guard Ship Henry Larsen, where he spent the summer touring Canada’s arctic. Vincent was one of two cadets selected from across Ontario, and one of only four from across Canada to represent the cadet organization on this once in a lifetime trip. During his time away, he got to visit places most people didn’t even know existed. He experienced such things as endless days with no darkness, helicopter flights and boat excursions through iceberg fields, and even curious polar bears checking out their ship. Vincent even had a chance to chip an ice chunk off an actual glacier to cool down his drink. As a result of the trip, he has achieved certificates of competency that are recognized outside the cadet program. Another routine part of cadet training is attending summer camps at various locations in Canada. As part of each camp’s training program, proficient cadets are awarded for their efforts. During this year’s summer training at HMCS Ontario in Kingston, two Carleton Place cadets were fortunate enough to receive awards for their efforts. Cadet Leading Seaman Isabelle Bourget was awarded Top Cadet on completion of her general training course, while Cadet Master Seaman Ella Wiggins was awarded Most Improved on completion of her basic seamanship course. RCSCC Lanark accepts new members between the ages of 12 and 18 during the first few weeks of September. If you are interested in learning more about the cadet program, please come see us on Wednesdays between 6:30 and 9 p.m. at the Navy League building at 137 John Street.

Walk to ease the lives of ALS sufferers at upcoming Sept. 14 fundraiser By HOWAIDA SOROUR hsorour@perfprint.ca
Community – Walking to raise awareness and funding for the research and care of ALS – Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis also known as Lou Gehrig disease – sufferers has become something of a tradition for Judy Lavender. However, last year Lavender found herself abroad on Walk for ALS day. Loath to miss it, she approached the tour group. “We were in Florence [Italy] and we were going to do some walking that day, so I told them it was ALS Walk day. I didn’t know any of the people before the trip but everybody thought it was a great idea, so I gave them all purple ALS bands, which I happened to have,� said Lavender. That meant a lot to Lavender. Her husband was diagnosed with the debilitating and fatal disease 20 years ago. The Walk for ALS is fast approaching again this year, and the local walk, takes place on Saturday, Sept. 14 and raises funds for the Lanark, Leeds, and Grenville region. “There are 28 walks taking place across Ontario (94 across the country) and 60 per cent of the funds raised go to client care and 40 per cent supports research directly,� said Lianne Johnston, regional manager ALS Canada. The care aspect of the funding is crucial to anyone struggling with ALS. “ALS is considered a fatal rapidly progressive neurological disease. About a 1,000 people in Ontario have ALS; 80 per cent of those afflicted will die within two to five years,� said Johnson. In those short years those afflicted will need a lot of tangible support just
to cope with the disease progression, and that’s where ALS Canada comes in. “ALS Canada will do home visits and assess the needs and connect families with available support,� said Negin Neghabat-Wolthoff, director marketing and communications at ALS Canada. “They also donate equipment, such as assistive devices, communication aids, wheelchairs, and specially equipped hospital beds.� Due to successful funding, Canada is also at the forefront of ALS research and exciting things are happening this year according to Neghabat-Wolthoff. “(The year) 2013 has been an unprecedented year in ALS research breakthroughs. Recent clinical breakthroughs and recent discoveries of genes associated with ALS are expected to change the landscape of ALS treatment,� said Neghabat-Wolthoff. Last year, the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville 5 km walk or 10 km run out of Smiths Falls raised $39,000 and the goal this year is to raise $42,000. The walk starts from the Smiths Falls Legion, Branch 95 on Sept. 14 at 9 a.m. “The 9 a.m. start is so participants can get registered, then the opening ceremonies start at 10 a.m.,� said Sandra Burson, who has been organizing the event in Smiths Falls for the past 15 years. Registration is $20 and can be raised through pledges. There is no minimum pledge amount. Every dollar counts, according to Burson. Not only that but ALS Canada offers participants various rewards for their fundraising efforts. The break down works like this: $100 – cool purple T-shirt; $250 – T-shirt and ball cap; $1,000 – T-shirt and picture frame;

Council formally adopts slogans Council approved a recommendation by the economic development committee to ratify two slogans for tourism promotions. The county has been actively promoting the region as “The Maple Syrup Capital of Ontario” and the “Maple Syrup Capital” for many years, which has been a successful messaging tool to distinguish Lanark County as a tourism destination. Slogans are not usually protected by copyright, however, and the ratification of these two serves to formalize the county’s use of this messaging in public documentation. The tourism department may consider developing other new slogans or taglines related to maple syrup and maple experiences. County receives AEDs Lanark County has received 13 Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs) as part of the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care’s funding program in conjunction with the Heart and Stroke Foundation. As a
result, the county is continuing to increase the number of recreational and community facilities and schools that now have this life-saving device. Each year the county identifies potential sites and applies for the funding. The implementation of and training for the devices are coordinated through the Lanark County Ambulance Service. Since the program began in 2007, the county has received 48 AEDs, which have been located in local public facilities and schools across the county. Rick Hannah, the county’s emergency services coordinator, says the AEDs combined with CPR have proven to save lives. “This is just one more tool to be able to help someone. The use of CPR with AEDs improves one’s chances in a major way,” he said. Transition funding allocated Council has approved a recommendation allocating funds for local initiatives through a one-time grant made available by the Ministry of Community and Social Services. The $340,000 grant is designed to assist with the county’s transition to the new Community Homelessness Prevention Initiative (CHPI), which consolidates some existing programs and eliminates others. CHPI aims to help people experiencing homelessness to obtain and retain housing or to help those at risk of homelessness to remain housed. Lanark County Social Services developed a 10-year Housing and Homelessness Plan through community consultations to determine gaps, identify goals and objectives, and to develop or expand programs to identify issues. The funding is allocated to six short-term initiatives to improve affordable housing in Lanark County, including hiring a housing support worker for two years, financial support for community partners to attend the National Conference on Ending Homelessness, development of a two-year pilot program to fund residential space with the Susan Shirley Program (a non-profit maternity home and parent training centre), rental supports in partnership with Lanark County Interval House for two years for those fleeing domestic violence, funding for the Renovate Lanark Home Repair Loan program to help those applicants on a wait list and funds to expand the rent support program for two years.
County receiving gas tax allocation Council has authorized the county to enter into an agreement with the province for the Provincial Tax Gas Funding. The 2013 allocation of $429,000 for the county was announced by the Ministry of Transportation in July. The funding was first announced in 2004 to provide investment in public transit. Funds must be placed in a separate reserve and any costs related to public transit
capital and growth in service can be funded from the reserve. Upcoming meetings County council, Wednesday, Sept. 25 at 7 p.m.; economic development, Sept. 4 at 5 p.m.; public works, Sept. 4 (following economic development); community services, Sept. 18 at 5 p.m.; and corporate services, Sept. 18 (following community services). Submitted by the County of Lanark.

News – The following are highlights from the regular Lanark County Council meeting held Wednesday, Aug. 28 at the county administration building in Perth. The inaugural Lanark County Harvest Festival is set to go on Sunday, Sept. 8 in beautiful Beckwith Park, 1319 9th Line Road in Beckwith Township, just 10 minutes west of Ottawa. The event runs between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. and features local producers, food seminars, musical entertainment and children’s activities. “There are eight seminars,” said warden Bill Dobson, “so not only will you be able to buy great local food, but it’s going to be an educational day.” In additions to dozens of local food vendors, seminars include foraging for edible wilds, garlic, herbal remedies, permaculture, apples, maple syrup and plants. The festival is a collaboration of several groups, including Lanark Local Flavour, Lanark County farmers’ markets, the Lanark County Agricultural Committee, Lanark County and the Township of Beckwith.

Perth man raises more than $4,000 for cancer society through fundraiser akulp@perfprint.ca
Community – Bruce Raby’s recent kayaking trek along the Rideau Canal has given the local Lanark, Leeds and Grenville unit of the Canadian Cancer Society a $4,400 infusion. The Perth man successfully completed his second annual Kayaking to Beat Cancer fundraiser, paddling 115 kilometres over three days, from Aug. 10 to 12. For six years prior he kayaked from Kingston to Ottawa and has raised more than $25,000 total. “It was fantastic,� Raby said of the voyage. “It makes me feel good that I can do this. I can make a little difference and as I get older, I’d like to believe that you can make a difference for somebody or someone in life and this is just a way I feel I can make a little difference.� “I’m doing something that I really enjoy. I got to paddle with my son, which is tremendous, and I paddled alone the last day but I’m doing it for a cause that is so terrible,� he continued. “People are suffering and dealing with cancer and it makes me feel guilty that I enjoy doing this, but it’s one way I can help...Hopefully it’s (funds raised) able to do some good for some people.� Accompanied by his son Andrew, Raby started out bright and early from Last Duel Park on Aug. 10 and they made their way to Kilmarnock before stopping at a bed and breakfast for the night. After taking time out to drop off a Japanese student his family hosted for a few weeks, Raby and his son were back on the water and made it to Pirate Cove Marina in Kemptville before setting up camp for the night. On the final day, Aug. 12, Andrew headed back to work and Raby opted to complete the rest of the trek alone. “I got up quite early and was on
the water by 8 a.m. and I wanted to see how far I could get on my own and it took me two hours to get to Hurst Marina,� he said. “I was feeling pretty good and just kept paddling.� “...For eight hours non-stop I paddled. I pulled out a sandwich while I as waiting to go through the locks, but I never got out of my boat until 4 p.m. when I made it to Dow’s Lake,� Raby added. He said the weather was “great� for paddling over the three days and he relished the time spent on the water. “I enjoy the quiet and serenity and the feeling of being alone (on the water),� Raby said. “It lets your mind and body get in sync with what you’re doing.� In the past, Raby has attempted to enlist more people to paddle with him in the fundraiser, but said he likes keeping it a small and intimate fundraiser. “I would like to have lots more people paddle with me because I could raise a lot more money, but one of the advantages (of keeping it small), is that you don’t have to worry about other people,� he explained. “I can paddle as fast as I want, as long as I want and I can stop when I want to. And I’m able to be in sync with myself while paddling.� Raby collected just over $100 on the water while on his trek and said he heard “some good and some bad stories,� and received encouragement for what he was doing. Generous sponsors Another aspect that has made his Kayaking to Beat Cancer initiative so successful is the support Raby has received from local businesses and the generous public. “The support people have given me means quite a bit,� he remarked. “It helps me get the message out there that I am on the water and trying to raise money.� Barnabe’s Independent Grocer in Perth, Steve’s Independent Gro-
cer and Walmart in Carleton Place allowed him to set up a booth to fundraise for donations. Walmart also matched monies raised, dollar for dollar. Hinton Dodge Chrysler, G. Tackaberry & Sons Construction, A&B Ford, Perth Motors, G. Tackaberry & Sons Construction, all contributed to the cause, as well as LCBO stores in Smiths Falls, Merrickville, Kemptville and Manotick, which allowed Raby to collect funds through their coin box program during the month of July.
“I need to have businesses supporting me as well and I think that’s important. Some of these organizations do their own big fundraisers for whatever causes they’re supporting, so it’s still nice when they find a way to support me, one individual, doing this,� Raby stated. Raby also appreciated the media publicity from the EMC, as well as Lake 88.8 and the Lanark Era. He also received complimentary lock passes from Parks Canada. To thank those who made donations of $20 or more, Raby, also
an amateur photographer, entered names into a draw for one of his nature and landscape prints. The lucky winner was Donna Doelman of Kingston and Bennett Lake. Even though he finished the fundraiser nearly a month ago, Raby is already busy thinking about next year’s event, which he said might include a few changes. “What’s going through my mind now is next year to extend the length of the paddle up the Rideau system more and start at maybe Westport,� he said. “Why not?�

News – Randy Hillier (MPP for Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox & Addington) is pleased to once again be a participant at the Institute for Liberal Studies’ Canadian Property Rights Conference. Hillier, who has made a career of defending the importance of property rights in Ontario, will be on hand at the Second Annual event to further promote the importance of enshrining property rights in the Constitution, an effort he and his federal counterpart MP Scott Reid have attempted in the past. Last year, Hillier spoke twice at the conference, held
annually in Ottawa. This year’s Canadian Property Rights Conference will take place Sept. 13-15 at the Lord Elgin Hotel in Ottawa. Headlining the conference with the keynote address will be former Leader of the Official Opposition and Federal Cabinet Minister, the Honourable Stockwell Day. Other speakers include Sun Media’s John Robson, the Cato Institute’s Randal O’Toole, the Manning Foundation’s David Seymour and many others.

So Long Summer Hello Fall R0012289323/0905
News – Nominations for the Bill Thake Memorial Award for Economic Development Leadership in Leeds Grenville are now open. This annual leadership award recognizes an individual who has volunteered his or her time to improve the economic growth and vitality of the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville. Presentation of the award will be at the annual United Counties Economic Development Summit on Nov. 22 at the North Grenville Municipal Centre. The deadline for submissions is Sept. 27. All nominees will be honoured during the luncheon portion of the summit. “We are fortunate to have so many residents who volunteer their time for the benefit of the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville,” United Counites warden Ron Holman said. “It’s an honour to recognize their commitment.” The award’s namesake, former Westport mayor Bill Thake, passed away in June and is greatly missed, Holman said. “He contributed so much to our communities over the years. The leadership award is aptly named in his honour and now becomes a memorial award,” he said. During his extraordinary lifetime, Thake was recognized as being the longest-serving mayor in Canada. He was first elected to the Westport council in 1961 and later became mayor in 1969. He was a mentor to many. He worked hard to develop a strong economy in his village and communities across the United Counties. Thake’s municipal experience spanned more than half a century with 52 years of service. He was United Counties warden for four terms, including 2011 when this award, also called the Warden’s Award, was first introduced.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR
Underfunding First Nations education a costly mistake DEAR EDITOR: While the Conservatives have spent the summer talking about their forthcoming First Nations Education Act, they continue to ignore the elephant in the room: the federal government dramatically underfunds First Nations students’ education. For a country like Canada, it’s shocking that only a third of high school students on reserve graduate each year. And while the reasons are complex, one stands out: the federal government, which is solely responsible for financing First Nations education, only funds First Nations students two-thirds of the average funding per student that the provinces provide to other schools. This financing gap contributes to lower test scores, stunning drop-out rates and a failure to equip students with the tools they need to compete and succeed in the modern workforce. It’s a big problem, especially since more than a quarter of the Aboriginal People in Canada are under 14. This is a huge loss for our economy. Canada is coping with a lack of highly skilled people in the workforce, a problem which is projected to
worsen. The Canadian Chamber of Commerce and other business leaders say higher investments in Aboriginal education are needed to employ this generation. One study found that by increasing Aboriginal education rates to the same level as non-Aboriginal Canadians could add $160 billion to the economy over the next seven years alone. Sadly, nothing is being done, government spin notwithstanding. Despite the Conservatives being in power for almost eight years, the Auditor General found the government cannot demonstrate any progress in closing the First Nations education gap. Their record of neglect is shameful. And they continue to deny there is even a problem. Giving all children a high-quality, relevant education and an equal opportunity to succeed is a core Canadian value. It is the right thing to do, and it’s also good for economic growth. It’s high time we closed the gap. Carolyn Bennett, MP Liberal Party of Canada Aboriginal Affairs Critic
COMMENTARY Back to school Editorials – Those big yellow school buses returned to local roadways this week with a flourish. Summer is over and school is back in session and it wouldn’t hurt for motorists to take a refresher on road safety. The Ontario Provincial Police and CAA take back to school road safety very seriously and now that school has begun again, motorists should adjust their commutes to work accordingly. By Ontario law, vehicles travelling in both directions must stop completely when approaching a school bus with its red lights flashing. Due to steep fines, drivers who fail to do this will only do it once as first offenders could be forced to shell out between $400 and $2,000 and lose six demerit points from their licence. The fines increase for repeat offenders with the possibility of facing up to six months in jail. School bus zones, posting speeds of 40 km per hour are also there for a reason. Drivers should exercise caution and beware of exceeding the limit. Those who drive 16 to 29 km per hour over the limit in these designated zones could pay a fine and lose three demerit points. If you feel the need for speed and drive 50 km per hour over the posted school zone limit, be prepared to be handed a fine of up to $10,000 and a suspended licence. To avoid these situations, motorists should educate themselves on the rules of the road and get in the habit of watching for school buses and zones, and always stopping for school buses with flashing red lights. If driving within a school zone, watch for children crossing the street and adjust your driving accordingly. There’s no such thing as being too cautious when it comes to road safety.
First day of school was always a special occasion Lifestyle – We thought nothing of the three and a half mile trek to the Northcote School. There were others who walked much further. And if, for any reason, we had to make a stop at Briscoe’s General Store, that meant at least another mile, as we had to walk the Rink Road to get there, bypassing Plaunt’s road which was our usual way of getting to and from school. When we got to the end of our long lane, and onto the Northcote Side Road, we would meet up with the Thoms, our next-farm-over neighbours. And Velma and I, best friends, would hold hands all the way to the school. My three brothers wanted no part of we younger ones, and they would tear ahead of us, leaving us behind, as if we had the plague! It was a dirt road all the way, and by the time we got to school, even our socks were covered with dust, and our shoes looked like they had been through a war! I was in boys brown brogue laced shoes that had come in the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie in Regina, and I secretly prayed that the hateful shoes would fall apart
one day, and I could wear my Sunday-go-to-church shoes, which were just marginally better than the boys’ brogues. This time of year, my three brothers, who every year Mother swore had grown a foot over the summer, had new running shoes to wear that first day back to school. They covered their ankles, and laced from the toes to the tops, and had thick black soles. If Mother didn’t order them from Eaton’s catalogue, they were bought in Renfrew where Mother bargained for the best price, paying the princely sum of .98 cents a pair. And the stores in Renfrew weren’t too happy about trading a couple chickens or fresh eggs like Mr. Briscoe did at the general store in Northcote. The boys were well warned to be careful with the running shoes, because they would be the only ones they would be getting. Even if they fell apart, Mother warned! “No scuffing along the side road,” she would bellow, as we all headed out the lane that first day back to school.

shoes, the brothers would have to resort to wearing their gum-rubbers, which made their feet sweat. If enough boys were in their gum-rubbers all at the same time at school, the whole place smelled to high heaven, causing Miss Crosby to fling the windows wide even on the coldest fall days! And so it was, that first day back to the Northcote School, the three brothers in their new running shoes which they weren’t allowed to put on their feet until that morning, me in my boys brogues that had been shined with bacon fat, and our lunches in clean brown paper bags, we headed off. At the end of the lane, Velma waited for me. The Thoms boys and my three brothers raced off down the dirt News Editors: Laurie Weir, Joe Morin, Ashley Kulp REPORTERS: Howaida Sorour, Tara Gesner, Desmond Devoy, Kelly Kent, Jennifer Westendorp DISTRIBUTION: Lori Sommerdyk, 613-284-0124 ,ext. 27 CLASSIFIEDS/REGIONAL ROUNDUP: Fax: 613-283-5909 Judy Michaelis Email: jmichaelis@perfprint.ca Lee Ann Gilligan Email: lgilligan@perfprint.ca Jennifer Coughlin Email: jcoughlin@perfprint.ca

road. Boys never carried their lunch bags openly. They tucked them inside the front of their shirts, which did nothing to keep the sandwiches in one piece. We girls put our lunches in our book bags, in with our new scribblers, and whatever books Mother had to buy at the drug store. And always we girls carried a freshly laundered handkerchief, neatly folded, tucked in our book bag as well. If Kleenex had been invented back then, we certainly didn’t know about it! Mother always tried to have my sister Audrey and I wearing something new for that first day back to school. Not store-bought of course. Something she would have made from a leftover from the hand-me-down box, or from a well-bleached pair of flour bags. Mother favoured making blouses. Simple blouses, with little round Peter Pan collars, and she would search through her sewing basket until she found pieces of rick-rack braid which she would sew around the cuffs of the puffed sleeves and the round collar. Very clever, was my Mother, I thought back then.

Even though we had seen the neighbourhood children many times over the summer, at church picnics, ball games, and family get-togethers, on that first day back to school, it was as if we hadn’t laid eyes on them for years! There would be the Briscoe twins, in identical dresses. My little friend Joyce, always with something brand new that had probably come out of Walker Stores in Renfrew, and of course, bad Marguirite would have had a new permanent wave in her drug-store bleached Shirley Temple curls, and she would be in shiny black patent leather Mary Jane shoes, and little white socks with lace around the tops. And there would be our same teacher...Miss Crosby...in the same dress she had worn on the last day of school two months before. And she would still smell of lilac talcum powder, and her black laced shoes would be so shiny, you could see your face in them.

Lifestyle – Western society has struggled for years trying to come to terms with how to manage marijuana. Is it safe? Should it be legalized or decriminalized? What will the ramifications be if public use of this drug, commonly called “pot” is given equal status with public consumption of alcohol in the eyes of the law? Cannabis, the official name for the plant from which marijuana is derived, is big business in North America. Marijuana is now being sold legally (for medical use) as well as illegally. Health Canada now allows individuals to apply for a prescription for medical marijuana following a set of rules and procedures. The drug is favoured for pain control with respect to certain medical conditions. That is one of the factors advocates cite when calling for an end to the current laws against growing, selling and possessing marijuana. Despite the fact so many Canadians now view marijuana use as “no big deal” challenges to the current laws in the federal courts have failed to achieve results. The various pot-related sections and subsections contained in the Criminal Code of Canada and Controlled Drugs and Substances Act remain in effect. In general terms it is still against the law to grow, sell and possess marijuana. It is for that reason that controversy erupted recently when newly elected Liberal Party of Canada leader Justin Trudeau publicly admitted he has “puffed” on marijuana cigarettes since he became a Member of Parliament. Trudeau is now viewed by many as a hypocrite because in the House of Commons in 2009 he voted in favour of Bill C-15 which outlines mandatory minimum sentences for pot. The same year he also made anti-marijuana comments. But last November he told a high school audience in Prince Edward Island that he favours decriminalization of pot. Now he has admitted to smoking it since becoming an MP. Official Liberal Party policy by the way advocates legalizing marijuana in order to keep it out of the hands of children. I don’t think many people would view Trudeau’s actions as particularly troublesome if he had admitted to inhaling pot while he was a teenager for example or perhaps during his university days. Telling the world that you have used marijuana since being elect-
Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE
ed to Parliament and yet voting in favour of mandatory minimum sentences makes his position on the subject rather unclear. I think it shows extremely poor judgement on Trudeau’s part and it underlines my personal feeling that he is unfit to hold high office, let alone serve as an MP. But that is the wonderful thing about democracy. Even poor candidates win elections. Consider Toronto’s mayoralty! Against the law The biggest surprise for me in the wake of Trudeau’s ill-advised admission is the public reaction to it. Based on the polls I have seen, the majority of Canadians couldn’t care less. The reality is that possessing marijuana is a crime in Canada and by flouting the law then surely someone in Trudeau’s position is sending the wrong message no matter how liberal (pardon the pun) his own views may have become. Justice Minister Peter MacKay is among those who criticized the Liberal leader. At the same time he reiterated his government’s position. They have no plans in the works to legalize or decriminalize marijuana. MacKay was immediately pilloried by some for his remarks. One of his critics, a University of Ottawa law professor, disagrees with the minister’s statement that “it’s currently against the law to smoke dope.” The prof contends that while the courts in Canada say it’s against the law to possess marijuana, it is not a crime to smoke it. Surely he is splitting hairs? If you’re smoking pot then you must also be considered in possession of the stuff. A silly argument I feel! And yet such a comment points to how muddled the whole situation surrounding marijuana use has become. Yes, it’s against the law but it seems the courts treat simple possession with such leniency that it is hardly worth pursuing by the authorities. That situation was highlighted last month when the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police voted overwhelmingly in favour of re-
forming drug laws in this country. But only to a point. Police chiefs want officers to have the ability to ticket people found in possession of 30 grams of marijuana or less. The chair of the association’s drug-abuse committee says police currently have two choices: turn a blind eye or lay down the law to its full extent. Officers can caution an offender. Otherwise they have to lay formal charges resulting in what the committee chair calls “a lengthy and difficult process.” If proven the individual would have a criminal conviction and a criminal record. The police chiefs argue that ticketing offenders for possessing small amounts of pot would be “far less onerous and expensive.” It sounds similar to how police currently treat consumption of alcohol in public places. On the other hand police chiefs made it clear that, like the federal government, they don’t favour legalization or decriminalization of marijuana. Those who are licenced to grow and sell marijuana legally for medical use say the ticket system proposed by police amounts to decriminalization. There’s no question such a program would tend to diminish the seriousness of the offence which is why it is controversial. MacKay, on hearing of the chiefs’ proposal, repeated his government’s position. Although he had no immediate follow-up on the recommendation, the justice minister did say he appreciates the input. Which direction? Many American states have moved to decriminalize or legalize marijuana. But US federal laws remain unchanged. So, which is the best way to go? Driving while impaired is just as dangerous whether alcohol or drugs are involved. That fact has been recognized in Canada’s criminal code for many years. But while motorists impaired by alcohol can be given a spot check, determining impairment by drugs (including marijuana) is more complicated. Blood may have to be drawn and tested. Police are increasingly concerned about productive use of available resources. Therefore they are looking for ways to cut corners and prevent officers from being tied up for lengthy periods
on cases which have a marginal bottom line. Simple possession of marijuana (small amounts) is not dealt with severely in most cases. On the other hand is the matter of how much money the illegal growth and sale of marijuana generates for the criminals involved. The return on investment is huge which is why organized crime is involved in trafficking marijuana. I can honestly say I’ve never tried marijuana. First and foremost it is against the law to possess pot. But I don’t smoke and I have zero interest in marijuana or any other drug. Pain reduction aside, I don’t see any other practical use for marijuana. Opponents of pot say it leads many users to look for a bigger high and therefore leads to addiction. Proponents of legalization say marijuana use is harmless. However, the most recent study results I saw – last week in fact – warn of the risks of smoking marijuana, especially for teenagers. The Canadian-America probe concludes that “the nature of the teenage brain makes users of cannabis among this population particularly at risk of developing addictive behaviours and suffering other long-term effects.” A review of more than 120 studies, as well as original research by the authors, strongly suggests consuming cannabis during adolescence interferes with natural brain development and may hardwire some teens to develop addictions in adulthood. The research makes a strong connection between marijuana use and mental health problems along with addictive disorders. Worse still, the review warns marijuana could be considered “a gateway drug” to highly addictive heroin and cocaine. The study disputes what the authors call “the growing perception, particularly in adolescents and young adults that cannabis is harmless, especially compared to other abused substances like nicotine and alcohol that are legal.” This kind of scientific data is alarming and supports the Canadian government’s position that marijuana use should not be legalized or decriminalized. I am very interested in readers’ views on this controversial subject. Please share your opinion with me. Your thoughts may even lead to a follow-up column!

Assessing voice problems in children
Kemptville welcomes Dollar Tree Business – Dollar Tree is one of the latest businesses to open its doors in Kemptville. On Aug. 31, a ribbon cutting was held to officially open the store. From left: North Grenville councillor Tim Sutton; Dawn Whitmore; councillor Barb Tobin; store manager Lorrie Briggs; general manager Paul Reynolds; and Ashley Willan.
Lifestyle – Some children have harsh or raspy voices. They may have a voice problem. Some voice problems in children are because of breathing or reflux issues, or the child may have some undetected nodules or polyps in their throat. Some voice problems are present at birth and some may develop later. All children with voice problems must be seen by an ear nose and throat specialist to determine the cause of the problem. Voice therapy with a speechlanguage pathologist may also be needed,

Symptoms of voice problems that may develop: • Weak cry (in infants and toddlers) • Hoarseness or frequent laryngitis • “Scratchy” throat complaints or want water to soothe their throat • Breathy, airy speech • Trouble being heard or understood, especially in school or group settings What parents can do to help their children have healthy voices: • Rest the voice. Have quiet time and let your child do something fun like reading, crafts or playing a game. • Reduce noise. We all speak louder when we are around other sounds, such as the TV, music, or other conversations, so try to keep outside noise to a minimum. • Have a meaningful conversation with your child every day. This will lessen attention-seeking behavior, like yelling, when your child has your attention. • Take turns in conversations. This allows for conversations without people raising their voices to be heard. • No yelling! Discourage yelling in the house. Instead of yelling from one room to another, walk to the room where the person is that you want to speak with. If your child shows any of the symptoms above or if you are concerned, please see your family doctor. Your doctor will be able to help you to take the next steps in helping your child. (Information taken and adapted from DukeHealth.org article, “Voice Problems in Children”.) If you are concerned about your child’s speech and language development, call the Language Express Preschool Speech System at 1-888-503-8885/613-283-2742. A speech-language assessment can identify your child’s strengths and needs, and can help you prepare your child for success in communicating, reading and writing.

CDSBEO introduces new spiritual board theme for 2013-2015 school years Catechism of the Catholic Church, 15 prayer services, and more than 50 references to the Catholic Graduate Expectations. In addition, the elementary curriculum expectations are drawn from a newly developed Religious Education Policy document. Summer literacy and numeracy learning project For the past four summers, the CDSBEO has had the opportunity to participate in a summer learning program for students in the primary grades, that focuses on building literacy and numeracy skills while integrating physical activity, the arts, recreation and rich field experiences. The Council of Ontario Directors of Education continues to coordinate and provide leadership for these summer programs, which are funded by the Literacy and Numeracy Secretariat. Children attended full days for one or both of the threeweek sessions which were offered to grade one, two and three students, between July 2 and Aug. 9. Program teacher, Sarah Nielsen, and tutor, JoséeAnne Couture, presented to the board an overview of the experiences of the 95 participating students, who were from six CDSBEO elementary schools in Cornwall, and three elementary schools in Brockville. The sessions, which were hosted by Immaculate Conception Catholic School (Cornwall), and St. John Bosco Catholic School (Brockville), were taught by qualified teachers and tutors. The program focus was to support students in acquiring the essential Ontario curriculum literacy and numeracy expectations and to sustain or
increase their individual skill development. Strong evidence supports that summer learning loss affects nearly all young people, and summer learning loss results in long-term, life altering consequences for some learners. A high quality and engaging literacy and numeracy program, which needed to be different from typical schooling, was planned by the summer learning team. Students also had the opportunity to participate in a variety of other learning subjects, including art, music, dance and physical education. Several experiential learning opportunities were provided through swimming, tours of local ambulance stations/fire halls, and also visits to a local bird sanctuary, to help deepen the opportunities and skills of children, while also capturing their interest. Plant and maintenance project overview for 2012-2013 Over the course of the last year, the CDSBEO plant and maintenance department has worked diligently toward the completion of an extensive number of upgrades within schools, and board facilities. Manager of plant and maintenance, Bernie Kehoe, presented to the board an overview of the considerable number of projects completed in 44 board facilities, including more than 5,200 work orders, and 120 projects. Classroom additions and renovations were completed at four schools to accommodate new full-day, every day kindergarten programs. Additions/renovations were constructed at the following facilities: St. Finnan’s Catholic School, Alexandria (one classroom renovation),

News – The following are highlights from the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) meeting held Aug. 27 at the board office in Kemptville. The CDSBEO’s unveiled the new spiritual theme which will be the religious focus for the next two school years. “Witnesses to Hope – Remembering, Celebrating, Believing” is linked to scripture through 1 Peter 3: 15-16a, which reads, “In your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord. Always be ready to make your defense to anyone who demands from you an accounting for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and reverence.” Superintendent of school effectiveness, Marg SheaLawrence, outlined to the board, they ways in which the theme will translate throughout CDSBEO schools via the religious education program, as well as integrated features for other curriculum areas. A school resource package with key learning objectives structured around the themes of hope, remembering, celebrating, believing and witnessing, provide staff and students with prayers and activities which will be integrated into student learning opportunities. Intermediate and senior classroom activities around the theme will be taken from resources provided by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, which integrates subjects such as poverty, social justice, the environment, and religious freedoms. Additional features of the package include more than 100 daily prayers for announcements, more than 80 scripture references, more than 60 references to the
St. Anne Catholic School, Cornwall (two-classroom addition), St. Gregory Catholic School, Carleton Place (three classroom addition), Holy Cross Catholic School, Kemptville (four classroom renovation), and J.L. Jordan Catholic School, Brockville (one classroom renovation). These new classrooms will be ready to accommodate students for the 2013-2014 school year. In addition to the four major construction projects, a myriad of additional facility upgrades were carried-out un-
der various government grant initiatives. These upgrades include: painting, replacement of flooring and window coverings, asphalt and improved drainage upgrades, flag pole installations, ODA (Ontarians With Disabilities Act) compliant projects, roofing replacement, washroom upgrades, and HVAC, water system and electrical improvements. Playground and gymnasium equipment was also inspected at all schools, and repairs were completed over the summer months. Kehoe also reported that
several projects are currently in the design phase, including a 12 classroom addition at Notre Dame Catholic High School in Carleton Place (completion September 2015), a four-classroom addition at St. Mary-St. Cecilia in Morrisburg (completion September 2014), and one-room additions and renovations at seven schools to accommodate full-day kindergarten (completion September 2014). Submitted by the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario.

DEATH NOTICE
KOLYNCHUK Patrick “Pat” James January 18, 1957 Saskatoon, SK August 24, 2013 Calgary, AB
It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden accidental passing of Pat Kolynchuk on Saturday, August 24, 2013 at the age of 56 years. Pat was born into a very musical family in Saskatoon, SK where he took up the love of drums at a very young age. In the 1970s, Pat and his brother Ken formed a band called “The Collins Brothers” and they played professionally for fifteen years. Besides music, Pat’s other passions were flying and scuba diving. Pat was also known for his ever positive approach to life, his smile and his wicked sense of humour. Of course, coming from Saskatchewan, Pat was a huge Riders fan and was looking forward to seeing his Riders win the Grey Cup this year at Mosaic Stadium – “Go Riders Go!” Pat is survived by his loving wife Bonnie Mulville; sister Linda Kolynchuk; brother and best friend Ken Kolynchuk; mother-in-law Bernice Mulville; sisters and brothers-in-law, Beth Mulville (Rick Johnston) and Berna Saul (Dave); nieces and nephews, Amber Johnston, Aaron Johnston, Stuart Eales (Daylyn), Michael Saul and Andrew Saul; and his faithful furry companion Kalo. Pat will also be sorely missed by his family, his dear friends, especially Linda Nagel, Dave Klein and their family, and by Drs. Jit Gohill, Arun Lakra and their staff and patients at the Calgary Ophthalmology Centre where he enjoyed working as a licenced optician for the past eighteen years. Pat was predeceased by his mother Josephine (1968), father John (2007), father-in-law Barry Mulville (1999), and niece Stephanie Saul (2010). As per Pat’s wishes, a private family service will be held at a later date. Forward condolences through www. mcinnisandholloway.com. If friends so desire, memorial donations may be made to a charity of the donor’s choice. The Kolynchuk/Mulville family would like to thank Constable Bulford of the Waterton RCMP Detachment and the A/ Sgt Barker of the City of Calgary Police for their professionalism and support during this time. In living memory of Pat Kolynchuk, a tree will be planted at Fish Creek Provincial Park by McINNIS & HOLLOWAY FUNERAL HOMES, Fish Creek Chapel, 14441 BANNISTER ROAD S.E. CALGARY, AB Telephone: 1-800-661-1599.

CARLSON John Macdonald
John passed away peacefully on Tuesday, August 27, 2013 at the age of 86. He is survived by his loving wife Margaret and his caring daughter Mary. He is also survived by his sons Jamie and Peter and their families. Blessed with a kind heart and a quick wit, he loved to entertain friends and family with reminiscences from his days on the Iroquois in the Canadian Navy, of working in the mining industry in northern Quebec, of learning the art of horticulture in Ottawa South, and the adventures of farming in Oxford Mills. Although he loved travel, he was happiest at home in his garden. He will be remembered for his way with words, his intelligence and his ingenuity, but most of all for being loveable Old John. John was a non-conformist who preferred to leave this world quietly, which he did. At his request, there are no plans for a funeral. Friends and neighbours may stop by at his home on Saturday afternoon, September 7th for a celebration of his life and a glass of Irish whiskey. Donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society or Kemptville District Hospital Foundation.

MOORE, Lorna June 3, 1939 September 7, 2009 Our lives go on without you But nothing is the same We have to hide our heartaches When someone speaks your name. Sad are the hearts that love you Silent the tears that fall Living our lives without you Is the hardest part of all. You meant so very much to us Your heart was kind and true And when we needed someone We could always count on you. The special years will not return When we were all together But with the love within our hearts You will walk with us forever. Sister Joyce (Ron), Brother Preston (Kay)
FERGUSON - In loving memory of our mom and granny Doris “Dodie” Ferguson, September 01, 2011 Miss you every day Love Dave, Theresa, Jacob, Ethan and Chelsea. I’m Free Don’t grieve for me for now I’m free. I’m following the path God laid for me. I took His hand when I heard Him call. I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work, or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way, I’ve found that peace at the close of day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow: I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life’s been full I’ve savored much, Good times, good friends, a loved one’s touch. Perhaps my time seemed all to brief, Don’t lengthened it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me free. -Author: Unknown

DAMON McCAMON JR. February 11, 1983 – September 7, 2012 It’s been one year since we lost the most wonderful man and Daddy I know. They say there is a reason. They say that time will heal. But neither time nor reason will change the way we feel. Cause no one knows the heartache we try so hard to hide and no one knows how many times we’ve broken down and cried. We cannot bring the old days back when we were all together. The family chain is broken now but our memories live forever. Our house is empty without your laughter but I know you’re in heaven watching over and looking after us. I didn’t see this coming. It hit me by surprise and when you left this world a big part of me died. Your smile could brighten anyone’s day no matter what they were going through, and I know everyday for the rest of our lives we will be missing you. Love forever Donna, Anthony and Addyson XOXOXOXO

Association members considered other ways of supporting the 2015 edition of the plowing match before determining that the cookbook with its back cover ad for the Seed Growers and their annual Ottawa Valley Farm Show provided the highest profile opportunity available. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of our mandate,â&#x20AC;? said new OVSGA president John Roosendaal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We use some of the proceeds from the farm show to support worthy agricultural causes in our region.

He replaces Kinburnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bruce Hudson who shepherded the farm show through its move from Lansdowne Park to the Ernst & Young Centre. Roosendaal praised his predecessor for successfully completing â&#x20AC;&#x153;the toughest job for any president.â&#x20AC;? In filling vacancies, lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Orignal farmer Cecil Cass moved up the executive ladder to first vice-president, while David Blair of Pakenham was elected second vice-president.

Recreational Fisheries Conservation Partnership Program. The program was launched in June by the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans and will provide $10 million over two years to help local groups fund conservation
projects that support the protection, restoration and rebuilding of recreational fishing habitat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fishing is enjoyed by more than two million residents and visitors to Ontario. The provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 250,000 lakes and innumerable rivers and
streams offer unbeatable fishing opportunities, and the variety of species available is second to none,â&#x20AC;? said OFAH executive director Angelo Lombardo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fishing in Canada is big business and contributes over $8 billion

Will Bellamy, 11, on the links at the Royal Mayfair Golf Club in Edmonton last month, where he won the CN Future Links Junior Skills National Championship.
Perth pre-teen wins national golf skills title By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
Sports – A Perth youngster has won the CN Future Links Junior Skills National Championship. Will Bellamy, 11, son of Perth and District Collegiate Institute’s sports director Kevin Bellamy, explained that his son is “the national skills champion for boys aged nine to 11,” when he won the event in Edmonton, Alta. The competition involved three drives off of a tee, three shots onto the green, six putts onto the green, and three chips on to the green. About 3,200 children from across Canada took part in local tournaments in May, June, and July. The winners were entered into a national database and the top five youngsters from across the country were invited to the Albertan capital to participate at the Royal Mayfair Golf Club.
“He has to stand up and compete against those other people,” said Bellamy. “It’s not like a round of golf, where you have 18 holes. He won it with his iron play and his chipping. It was very close and very tense. He is a very happy young man.” He not only won a glass trophy, but a $500 Titleist golf package, which includes a sand wedge and a coveted Scotty Cameron putter. CN Rail also kicked in $500 to cover travel expenses. The competition was held on Aug. 20, and the next day Will got to caddy an LPGA player. Golf Canada’s women’s team even held a clinic for Will and the other qualifiers. “We spent two days amongst the LPGA tour stars,” said Bellamy. “They were so good to the kids…(and) watching how hard the pros do it will improve his work ethic. It looks glamorous
when you see it on TV,” but up close, both were able to see the long days of training that go in to making each and every shot. “It’s not easy to hit a ball,” said Bellamy. Will entered the local round of the competition in Halliburton, Ont. in July. “He just hung in there to have fun,” recalled Bellamy. “We found out later that we had been entered into a database and he was fourth place. We’re very proud of him. It’s neat and fun. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing. He didn’t set out to go into this.” This accolade will now not only help Will with his golf game, but other games as well, like hockey. “Pursuing excellence is something we will encourage,” said Bellamy. “He has skill and talent.”

Bike for United Way to stop in Perth Sept. 12 Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Sept. 12 is the start of the second annual Bike for United Way, or B4UW, which will be arriving in Perth at the Foodsmiths parking lot at 106 Wilson Street West for a noon rest stop. The ride brings together a group of 35 staff from 15 Ontario government ministries who are volunteering their vacation time, expenses, and energy to cycle from one of three cities to support the United Way fall campaign and promote healthy living. Three teams will leave from Ottawa, Windsor, and North Bay on a five-day cycle ride to Toronto with all riders meeting at Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park on Sept. 16. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are so excited to have the opportunity to be part of B4UW,â&#x20AC;? says Emily Danaher, fund development officer at the United Way Lanark County, â&#x20AC;&#x153;as the ride takes place just before the start of our
own Fall Campaign in Lanark County. It is a great way to show support for the United Way, and we want to invite everyone out to cheer on the Ottawa team as they ride through Lanark County.â&#x20AC;? Led by Peter Makula, a Kingstonbased employee with the Ministry of Transportation, the Ottawa team will be making its way through Perth on Sept. 12 between 12:45 and 1:30 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are so fortunate that Claire Smith and the staff of Foodsmiths are generously providing a healthy lunch for the team of 10 riders, and allowing us to use their parking for the noon-time rest stop. It is such a great example of the spirit of helping the United Way that is here in Lanark County,â&#x20AC;? commented Danaher. This year, the riders hope to raise awareness and $75,000 for United Wayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s network of member agencies and programs, which ensure that hundreds
of thousands of Ontarians have access to vital social services when and where they need it most â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in their community. Last year, Ontario government employees raised $55,000 during the first annual ride, which was from Thunder Bay to Toronto. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Community members who wish to support the riders have the choice of contributing to our United Way, which will ensure that funds stay within our community, or to a specific rider in
which case the funds will go to United Way Toronto,â&#x20AC;? notes Fraser Scantlebury, executive director of United Way Lanark County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope that people will show support for Peter, his team, and the United Way, as they pass through our community. To make online donations, community members should visit our website at www.lanarkunitedway.com and look for the B4UW logo. We will also have a donation basket out during the rest stop
at Foodsmiths.â&#x20AC;? For more information on the B4UW rides, including routes, rider profiles and other options on how to donate, visit www.b4uw.ca. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope to have a strong show of support on Sept. 12 for the riders,â&#x20AC;? says Danaher, â&#x20AC;&#x153;so plan to drop by on Thursday, grab a healthy lunch from the great folks at Foodsmiths, and cheer on our riders!â&#x20AC;?

Group brings seniors together News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Perth Tay Seniors Club invites anyone aged 55 years-plus to become members of our club. We meet at the Lions Club hall on the second Wednesday of each month, from September to June at noon, to enjoy lunch followed by a short business meeting and then entertainment (musical and/or speaker). Outings can include visiting other seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; clubs or enjoying nearby musical entertainment as well as attending a yearly Spring Strawberry Social. We usually car-pool to attend these events. As in the past, the annual catered Christmas dinner will be held at which time members may choose to donate non-perishable food items to the The Table Community Food Centre. In February, there will be the pancake-and-sausage meal held before our meeting. In March, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our special Irish Stew lunch. Another time, a scalloped potato and ham dinner is prepared by members of the executive. Usually on the last Saturday in May, a fun-filled day-away rally for all area United Senior Citizens of Ontario (USCO) clubs takes place. Since 1965, the Perth Tay Seniors Club has been a member of the USCO. The USCO is the largest and oldest organization that has representatives to
speak to and work with all levels of government on behalf of, and for the benefit of, all seniors. Already theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been successful with many improvements and/or changes with policies made in favour of seniors. On a national level, the USCO is affiliated with the National Pensioners and Senior Citizensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Federation. They in turn, represent and work on behalf of seniors through all of Canada, presenting their issues and concerns to the federal government. Primary concerns have been to secure improved health care and drug plans for seniors, property and sales tax rebates for seniors, a bill of rights for residents of nursing homes, improved seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; housing, seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; independence to remain in their homes, improvements to the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) and Old Age Security, the Canada Pension Plan, and much more. On the fourth Wednesday of each month games of bridge and euchre are held for our members and non-members alike, with lunch provided by our club. This is a fund-raising event for our club, thereby allowing us to give money to the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital, The Table, and other local organizations.

Syria: Hurry up and wait E
ditorial – What does it take? In years to come, if we do nothing in Syria, what will our children, or grandchildren say? What did we do as people died, foaming at the mouth, convulsing in agony, suffocating to death? Why did we just stand idly by as evil was allowed to run amok? Our lack of action appears as validation, despite yet more empty words. If the various rebel groups are finally able to coalesce and push the evil Syrian President Bashar al-Assad from power, they will be able to say that the west did nothing while the Syrian people suffered, while they, and their Islamist allies, actually did the heavy lifting and saw Assad out the door. Failing to act now may mean we have to contend with an Islamist state in years to come, partly of our own making, a breeding ground for terrorism against a west that did sweet nothing in their hour of need. The cost of doing nothing is too high, and we will never forgive ourselves in years to come if we don’t, when some other dictator uses chemical weapons. We need to be part of rebuilding Syria, once that day comes, but in order to do so, we need to get rid of Assad. The Syrian people will not know a day’s peace if he continues in office. And his Aug. 21 chemical attacks on his own people in the Damascus suburbs show that he no longer has the moral leadership to govern. Now, Obama is in an odd position – a Nobel Peace prize winner who opposed the invasion of Iraq, and doubled down on Afghanistan, is now poised to walk down the same road as Bush the younger: launch military action against a brutal
Middle East dictator who has gassed his own people, without a mandate from the United Nations. We are convinced that military action is needed, in a narrow, limited way, to degrade Assad’s capabilities to gas his own people with sarin, or other deadly gasses. France, America, NATO, and preliminary UN reports link the Assad regime to the chemical attacks last month. They are the only group with the capability of carrying out such attacks. Because of obstruction from Russia and China, the United Nations route is simply not an option at this time. Diplomacy has not worked during the last two years. Former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan tried and failed in his efforts to bring peace. All diplomacy will do now is buy Assad more time to kill more of his enemies. Clearly, he does not care if he kills or makes refugees of half his country, so long as his administration survives. NATO will have to take this on, and, already, their secretary general Anders Fogh Rasmussen said this week that to not respond firmly would “send a dangerous signal to dictators,” that they can, essentially, do whatever they want. What is needed is a no-fly zone over Syria, a blockade, if possible, of arms from Russia and other countries, to Assad’s forces. Turkey, the only Muslim NATO member, needs to take a leadership role in this, so that it is not seen as solely a military action from the west. There are no easy answers in this conflict, and no clear good guys. But the proper thing to do is to pick a position, side with the Syrian people, and do the right thing.

ifestyle - I figure that since I started the summer off with a column heralding the arrival of the season and a list of wonderful things I would do with the kids to make it awesome, I should end it with a “What I Did on My Summer Vacation” piece. (Yay!) As such, I asked the kids to rate their summer out of 10, with 10 being the best and zero being the worst. Girlchild gave it five. (Phooey on her, though.) Boychild said seven, and then quickly amended it to eight. (That’s my boy!) Apparently the thing that would have made it the Best! Summer! Ever! would have been to take a longer trip farther afield. We stuck closer to home, in part, to get some painting done. I could probably rank it about the same as Boychild and for the same reason but, really, giving it an eight instead of a five has do with one big, important thing that made all the difference (for me): I chilled out and tried to have more fun with the kids. There is flexibility, but it’s not always easy to drop everything and go play when you work from home. It’s great to not have to get child care all summer, but one still has to work, which means sometimes the short ones have to (egad!) entertain themselves. This usually involves screens. This year, though, everyone is a year older and that means a couple of things: 1. I didn’t hear the word “Maaawm!” every 10 seconds for things requiring my sage input (it was more like every minute and a half, which is a HUGE improvement. 2. When I said: “If you give me peace and quiet this morning, we should be able to do something fun mid-afternoon,” it worked for a change!

I was actually able to walk away from the computer and go to the beach or the pool or organize a playdate or go on an excursion or whatever! (I know. It’s kind of sad that I consider this an accomplishSTEPHANIE GRAY ment. I am the antithesis of fun.) This means I didn’t end the summer feeling guilty for not doing the things I said I was going to do! (At least as far as the kids go. I was reminded, as I tried to squeeze into the Sizzler ride at the Perth Fair on the weekend, that I really didn’t do so well with any sort of plan to eat better and exercise more, as per usual. But I digress….) July was filled with visits to cottages, the beach, Murphys Point events and activities with friends. In August we spent almost a week at a cottage (recall our house-painting adventures) followed shortly after by a weekend in Toronto visiting friends (where, you might have heard, there is traffic). It was all topped off with the fair, visits with friends and a trip to the beach. We also started a new aquarium (there will likely be more on that later) and experienced the magic of nature by raising a gypsy moth from caterpillar to pretty winged creature. (Sorry foresters. I promise not to raise any emerald ash borers.) All this and we’re almost done the painting, too! As I write this, the first day of school is only two sleeps away. I haven’t missed the nightly lunch bag preparation nor the morning rush, and I’m sure that first morning will come awfully early for my late sleepers. In some ways it will be nice to get back to the routine, but I definitely look forward to trying to out-do ourselves next summer. I’ll be aiming for a 10.

amongst other things, more than 1,500 boil-water orders across the country last year, we also support continued investment in our municipal systems. Where we draw the line with the council and CUPE is their misguided and misleading attempts to ban the sale of bottled water in public facilities. Bottled water does not compete with tap water. More than 91 per cent of bottled water drinkers consume both. They consume tap water at home and bottled water on-the-go for proper hydration and better health. Purchasing bottled water does not impact much-needed investments in Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water and sewer infrastructure. Canadians pay local, provincial and federal taxes with the expectation that a portion of those funds will be invested to properly maintain their municipal water systems. They spend their disposable income on a myriad of consumer items, including bottled water. Perth council should be commended for exercising critical, independent thinking in the face of an overly-simplified, factually-incorrect, feel-good resolution prepared by the council and CUPE about complex matters that either eliminates future viable policy alternatives or extends well beyond the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current legislative authority. We remain hopeful that the bottled water implications of this matter, once reviewed by staff after consultation with the Canadian beverage industry and other interested stakeholders, will be received by council for information with no further action taken.

Letter To the Editor: I read with interest the article that appeared in the Aug. 23, edition of The Perth Courier entitled, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Council hears youthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal to adopt Blue Communities project.â&#x20AC;? Perth council has referred the Blue Communities Project resolution put forward by the Council of Canadians and the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) to staff for a report. In taking the cautious approach that it did, it appears that council fully recognizes this resolution for what it is: a Trojan horse-like treatise developed solely to encourage Canadian municipalities to ban the sale of bottled water in their facilities under the guise of human rights and infrastructure management. While Kingston student Robyn Hamlyn is to be commended for her commitment to environmental sustainability, the Blue Communities Project is not an environmental initiative - itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a political campaign being waged by CUPE against the Canadian beverage industry and its 13,000 employees across Canada. CUPE national president Paul Moist acknowledged this in recent correspondence in the Owen Sound Sun-Times, Toronto Sun and Waterloo Chronicle when he wrote, â&#x20AC;&#x153;NestlĂŠ spokesperson John Challinor is partly right about CUPE's joint work with the Council of Canadians on bottled water. The Blue Communities Project is absolutely a political campaign. What could be more appropriate than grassroots activism that invites our elected local representatives to have a democratic, public debate about how scarce municipal tax dollars should (to) be spent.â&#x20AC;? We agree with the council and CUPE that water is a human right. And given that Canada has a $31 billion water and sewer infrastructure deficit resulting in,

Lifestyles - A fortunate find combined with a stroke of luck led to a considerate donation to next weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Terry Fox Run here in Perth. Two weeks ago, Mariposa Design owner Susan Storie happened upon a hearing aid. Her friend found it located outside her shop on Foster Street. Not knowing the rightful owner, the friend brought it into Storieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s store. Storie then began her quest. She called Town Hall and OPP, verifying whether someone had reported a lost hearing aid. With no luck, she kept it in her shop and hoped its owner would return to Foster Street. Sure enough, he did. A 90-year-old man walked into Mariposa and explained how he lost his hearing aid. She smiled at him and replied, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have it here.â&#x20AC;? Wanting to thank her, the man started to pull out his wallet, but Storie immediately denied any monetary reward. As an alternative, the man suggested giving a donation to a charity of her choice. Storie selected the local Terry Fox Run. The man gladly provided a donation as he explained to Storie that Fox ran by his house on Highway 2 in 1980 when he tried to write a cheque to hand to Terry, but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it quick enough. He has now made his donation to the Marathon of Hope. Soâ&#x20AC;Ś are you ready for the Terry Fox Run?

Bringing back the bees to a garden near you desmond.devoy@metroland.com
News – Nature always has a plan bee. But there is no plan B if there are no bees around to pollinate the county’s fruit crops, like the apples which will soon be ready for picking. Bees are essential to the production of our food – in fact, according to a University of California study, one in three bites of our food comes as a result of pollination by both wild and domestic bees. However, bee populations are on the decline. “I think most people are not surprised because there has been so much press about the collapse of the bee population,” said Susan Moore, who is helping coordinate an upcoming daylong workshop in Perth on bringing bees back. “People are becoming a lot more aware. In the last year, it has become a crisis.” The seminar on how to attract bees back to one’s property will be held on Sunday, Sept. 15, from 9:30 a.m. to
4 p.m. at the Perth Civitan Club hall. Peterborough’s Susan Chan, program manager of Farms at Work, and author of A Landowner’s Guide to Conserving Native Pollinators in Ontario, will be the featured speaker. Her presentation will be followed by a question and answer session, as well as a roundtable discussion by four authorities on subjects ranging from beekeeping to botany. The seminar will conclude with a visit to a local farm where Chan has created a bee plan for the land. “It’ll be fairly wide-ranging,” said Moore of the presentations. “It’s of such intense concern for people that they are willing to travel.” The decline in the bee population is so widespread now, according to Moore, that no one area of the province, or even country, has it any better or worse than anywhere else. “I can’t definitely say if it is worse in the Lanark County area,” said Moore. “I
think it is overall.” Chan has been working with Peterborough-area farmers “turning marginal farm land into bee habitats. There probably are lots of otherwise marginal land that could be used for bee habitats,” Moore said. Disease, parasites, habitat loss, chemical use and poor over-wintering are not the only things that have caused a decline in the bee population – last year’s drought also played havoc with bee numbers. “That certainly is all part of it,” said Moore. “It was such a wide-spread drought. That is a continuum factor in this.” While bees making honey is well known to people starting with nursery rhymes, bees are integral to the development of fruits and berries as well. “Certainly fruits is one of the biggest things they are involved in pollinating,” said Moore. A decline in bees could see
the decline in local fruits, like apples. “It makes a big difference if you have active bees to pollinate your crop. It affects everyone,” she said, adding that it impacts especially on people who wish to eat locally. When a problem appears to be global in scope, some people feel apathetic about it – until the global becomes local. “People get upset when the problem is in their area,” said Moore. By creating bee-friendly areas, local landowners create a base for bees to then go forth and pollinate. Moore already does this on her property in Tamworth, near Kingston. “We already do have a butterfly/bee garden,” she said. “It’s easy to do. You just look up a plant list,” of plants that attract bees. In her own garden she grows milkweed, which is good for attracting bees, and a butterfly bush which, as the name suggests, attracts butterflies. While children have returned to school, and the days will soon get
shorter and colder in a few weeks, Moore encourages those who want to see more black-and-yellow specks flying along to get planting as soon as they can. “Start planting now,” she advises. “October is a good time to start planting. The sooner the better. Fall is a good time to put plants in.” Not only does it get their winter dormancy out of the way, come springtime, “they take hold better.” There is a $10 charge to attend the meeting, and pre-registration is required. Reservations can be made by emailing the Lanark Stewardship Council at lanarkstewardship@gmail.com. Organizers ask that you indicate your area of interest (ie. Gardener, farmer, woodlot owner, professional or amateur ecologist, etc.) The event is sponsored by the Stewardship Councils of Eastern Ontario.

Events – Singer-songwriter, beatbox harmonica, hip-hop blues, spoken word, Canadiana, gypsy jazz, Dixieland, Klezmer, vaudeville, ragtime, stride and boogie-woogie piano, instrumental, world music, country blues, feminist historical, fingerstyle guitar, urban folk... These are just some of the musical genres that will be presented in the 2013-2014 Sunday Schoolhouse Concert Series at MERA Schoolhouse in McDonalds Corners. The first threeconcert segment of the series features beat-box blues poet CR Avery, the Yukon-based duo of Kate Weekes and Grant Simpson and Canadian-songcollector Corin Raymond. “What they all have in common is that they’re good music,” says Danny Sullivan, the MERA Director who designed the series and spearheaded the campaign to fund it. “My objective is to put on a great musical event once a month – the same time every month – so that people can count on coming to the Schoolhouse on a regular basis and know that they are going to see something good, even if it’s an act or an artist they haven’t seen or heard before.” The first nine concerts are scheduled as afternoon matinees on the last Sunday of each month, beginning in September. For the past year, Sullivan and a number of MERA volunteers have been hosting fundraising events, negotiating with artists, agents and managers and forging partnerships with local businesses and community groups to support the series. “In the long run,” says Sullivan, “we expect the series to support itself though ticket sales. But, to get the whole thing off the ground, we wanted to be able to invest in marketing and audience development campaigns. We were fortunate to receive a small grant from the Ontario Arts Council to help defray some of those costs. Having this funding also allows us to present a wider variety of musical genres.” MERA Schoolhouse has been the venue for a number of concerts presented on a one-off, ad hoc basis over the years, but these have tended to mostly focus on solo singer-songwriters. “That’s just a matter of economics. It’s a small venue, and we’ve never been able to offer guarantees to artists, so for one person to travel to McDonalds Corners to perform for a relatively small potential fee makes more sense than, say, a four piece Klezmer band. For this series, we’ve been able to offer fees that enable us to present duos, trios and quartets as well as solo acts. The concert series is divided into three segments of three-concerts each, beginning September 29, with CR Avery; October 27, Kate Weekes & Grant Simpson; and November 24, Corin Raymond. In the winter and spring segments, the series will present Evalyn Parry, Terry Tufts, The Boxcar Boys, Garnet Rogers, Trent Severn and others. Tickets will be available in three-concert packages and for individual shows, and MERA members will be entitled to a discount on admission to all concerts. CR Avery is a one-man hiphop, beatbox, blues, harmonica, Americana iconoclast. He began playing music professionally at the age of 17 when he toured from the nation’s capitol to the far interior of Vancouver Island. Fifteen albums and seven operas later, Avery has played almost every major Canadian folk festival, headlined his own tours across Europe and opened on two major tours for Billy Bragg and BUCK 65. He has performed extensively throughout North America and Europe as a beat-

Concert Series at MERA kicks off with beatboxing fun forerunners. CR will get the MERA concert series off to a bang on Sunday, Sept. 29, 2 p.m. at the Schoolhouse in McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corners. Kate Weekes & Grant Simpson Based now in the Yukon, Kate Weekes is no stranger to audiences in Eastern Ontario, having grown up in Smiths Falls, Ottawa and Perth. Her musical pairing with Grant Simpson can only be described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;inspired.â&#x20AC;? Weekes and Simpson have spent the past few years building a repertoire that blends folk and swing as they toured together in B.C., performed at the 2010 Nanjing International Jazz Festival in China and on numerous tours of the Canadian prairies. The discography from this duo includes Simpsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s solo piano CD Stride & True (2004)
and Born 40 Years Too Late with New Orleans North (2006). Weekes released her self-titled album in 2007 which made her the recipient of the Mac Beattie award for songs dubbed â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;quintessentially Canadianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. She released an album of northern fiddle tunes with Yukon band Home Sweet Home in 2011. Simpsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s background in traditional jazz, stride piano and vaudeville theatre mix with Weekesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bold guitar playing and strong sweet voice. Together they deliver an upbeat show with smart lyrics, catchy melodies and tight arrangements. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be at MERA Sunday, Oct. 27, 2 p.m. Corin Raymond After two successful solo albums Record Lonesome Night (2005), the US Folk charting No. 5 album There Will Always Be A Small Time (2009) and numerous albums and appearances as part of the duo, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Undesirablesâ&#x20AC;?, Corin Raymond has released a
live album with his all-star band, The Sundowners. Corin is no ordinary singer-songwriter, and Paper Nickels is no ordinary album. The Globe & Mail hailed it as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a live album that couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be more â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Made in Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; if it was scented with maple syrup, shipped by beavers and came with thimbles of Stompinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Tom Connorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; blood.â&#x20AC;? Not only did Raymond collect and polish 20 songs by other Canadian artists and record them in front of a live audience, the whole thing was paid for with Canadian Tire money, in what Corin himself calls the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tire Caper.â&#x20AC;? To top it all off, the resulting double CD set was released inside a 144page hardcover book, with 57 photos, the lyrics and chords to all the songs, the story of where he found the songs and his experience of the artists who wrote them, and of course the story of how his friends, fans
and total strangers helped him collect over $7,300 in Canadian Tire money, landing him on The National, As It Happens and This Hour Has 22 Minutes, as well as in the pages of the Globe and Mail, the Toronto Star and the Wall Street Journal. Raymond brings the magic of his unique blend of vulnerability, a high-energy personality
and an extensive repertoire of Contemporary Canadiana to McDonalds Corners to round out the first three-concert segment of the series, Sunday, Nov. 24, at 2 p.m. Tickets for the Sunday Schoolhouse Series are $55 for three concerts. Single concert advance tickets are $22. MERA members are entitled

Perth Business Referral Network seeks members By MONIKA S. WALKER Bright Mingle Media
Business - Why does it matter if a business thrives? The answer may seem obvious, but the truth is we don’t always know the true value of a business and all it offers our community without reflection. And the open secret? Businesses that thrive recognize their own value. The Perth Business Referral Network (PBRN) is a small and growing group of local business owners who meet weekly to network and learn to communicate their business value, developing referrals and cultivating the best quality product or service they can to offer the Perth community. “PBRN can give people who are new to the community a place to plug-in,” says Denise Carpenter-Ducharmes of Reiki Associates, a founder of the PBRN. “Friendships develop, and the group gets along as a group.” PBRN members seem eager to attend, despite the meeting’s early start. More than an enjoyable social gathering, however, the PBRN has been supporting both new and established local businesses to grow steadily in success through their participation as members. Cheryl Sinfield joined the group in March of 2012 with two new businesses: as an artist and sculptor handcrafting “faery houses” and mystical creatures, and a cleaning business called “The Cleaning Faery”. The latter has been so successful that she now has a client waiting list, and she just finished hosting the third annual Faeryfest this past June 2, which featured her art, a thriving local event with a record number of vendors attending. “If I hadn’t had the PBRN, I wouldn’t have this success,” Sinfield enthuses. “They all came through referrals - word of mouth - and now I often have to turn people away!” Economic Development Coordinator for the Town of Perth, Casey Buchanan, recognizes the value of PBRN to Perth, explaining, “It’s impor-
tant for us to retain small businesses. We need the support both financially and to meet the needs of our town’s ever-changing and diverse market.” Created in 2009, the PBRN began as a small collective of business people from each industry who met with two objectives: to learn about each others’ businesses and to create business and referrals. The group evolved slowly out of a national business network model, forming a structure focused on local, community-involved business, and governed internally with a relaxed meeting format. The hope was to maintain business objectives while opening a more personal rapport within the group; to function as a supportive community. “Your reputation is our reputation,” says Paul Warman, custom contractor and design consultant, with the group since 2011. As members become familiar with and even hire each others’ services, personal endorsement and accountability lend strength to the integrity of the group. Rising early for a 7:30 a.m. start, every Thursday at Grandma’s Lunchbox on Gore Street, the group gather early to chat and order breakfast. As the one-hour meeting progresses, the “business of the week” delivers a 10-minute presentation, enlightening the group on their product, service, or current events. “There is so much practical, handson information gleaned just from attending,” says Carpenter-Ducharmes, “It’s proved valuable so many times!” Next, each member presents an “infomercial”: a punchy one- or two-minute business pitch, crafted weekly with fresh inspiration. “I can’t believe how much confidence I’ve gained in myself and what I’m doing,” says Monika Walker, a writer with Bright Mingle Media who joined last year. “My entire business has been born from this group.” The meeting closes with gathered referrals and testimonials, members smiling as they go. Business definition, motivation, accountability,

The group also invites speakers in to discuss local networks and business grants and training. Group fees are 60 dollars twice yearly plus breakfast; well worth the time and effort given, according to Carpenter-Ducharmes, “It always pays for itself.” In addition to those mentioned, current mem-
bers include Mary Lou Brankin, certified general accountant, Rebecca Wissler, broker, Re/Max Riverview Realty Ltd., Sébastien Bacharach, web design, Patrick Reith, Reith Financial Services, and Allan Brown, JA Brown Consulting (marketing).

Folksinging star David Francey returns home Events - On Thursday, Sept.19, singer songwriter David Francey returns to this area for a fundraising concert for the arts organization MERA, located in MacDonald’s Corners. He will be just returning from a three-week concert series in Ireland, where he is a revered poet/ singer/songwriter. Now living in the Lanark Highlands, David Francey is a Scottish-born Canadian carpenter-turned-songwriter, who has become known as “one of Canada’s most revered folk poets and singers,” according to the Toronto Star. Since his smash hit album, Torn Screen Door, in 1999, David has released ten albums, won three Juno Awards. He also had the honour of receiving the prestigious SOCAN Folk Music Award, as well as taking home the Grand Prize in both the International Acoustic Music Award and in the Folk category for the John Lennon
Songwriting Award. Born in Ayrshire, Scotland to parents who were factory workers, he moved to Canada when he was twelve. For decades, he worked across Canada in rail yards, construction sites, and in the Yukon bush, all the while writing poetry, setting it to melodies in his head and singing it to himself as he worked. In concert, David is a gifted singer and storyteller. His wry humour and astute observations, combined with his openhearted singing style have earned him a loyal national and international following. In Perth, he will be debuting his latest album, So Say We All, and will be accompanied by his current band, Mark Westburg, Chris Coole and Darren McMullen. Tickets are $25, available at Tickets Please at 39 Foster St., in Perth (Jo’s Clothes), online at www.ticketsplease. ca or by phone at 613-485David Francey comes home to perform 6434.

Former Blue Wing says ‘auf wiedersehen,’ to Canada
LEARN TO SKATE... FOLLOW YOUR SKATING DREAMS!
Brett Madigan, two-season player with Perth, signs with top German team pect to play anywhere.” Though he was born and reared in Barrhaven, he would commute to Perth for home games, and after the 2012-13 season ended, two agents approached him with the offer of trying to take him pro. “If you want to work with us, we can get you some training,” Madigan remembers Mike Pritchard and Adam Landrieu saying just a few short months ago. “They found a spot over in Europe. It was a good fit. They did a lot of work for me.” He will have his own apartment in the village, which is located in western Germany, in the state of North Rhine-Wesphalia. “It’s about as west in Germany as you can go, near The Netherlands and Belgium,” he said. “It’s about as far left as you get and still be in Germany.”

Sports – How do you say “defence!” in German? Or hustle? Well, Brett Madigan is going to have to find out very soon. (For the record, it’s verteidigung and hektik, respectively.) That’s because, on Saturday, Aug. 17, he signed on to play for one year with a German hockey team, Grefrath Pheonix, which plays in the Oberliga West division. He left Canada yesterday, Wednesday, Sept. 5, with his training camp set to start on Sept. 15. He played two seasons with the Perth Blue Wings, and before that played for the Ottawa West Golden Knights and Cumberland Grads. “It kind of came out of nowhere, to be honest,” said Madigan during a telephone interview on Friday, Aug. 23. “I didn’t ex-
His contract with the Germans runs until April. After that, “longterm plans, I really have no idea.” If he is not picked up to play in Europe again, at least “I’ll have one more year of hockey than I thought I would.”

Brett Madigan may not be wearing number 24 for the Perth Blue Wings anymore, like he is in his head shot, top photo, but may be wearing number vierundzwanzig (24 in German) with his new team in a town near the German/Dutch/Belgian border. Above, Madigan in action against the Stittsville Royals.
Professionally, he just finished a three-year accounting program at Algonquin College, and has taken a sabbatical from working at the Barbara Ann Scott arena in Ottawa. “There’s always someone who needs numbers done,” he joked of his new accounting skills.

Madigan admits that he does not know a lot of German – yet. “I should be (learning). I haven’t yet,” he said sheepishly. “I haven’t learned many German words yet. That’ll be task number one. I’m hoping for some Englishspeaking teammates.” Even more daunting for Madigan is that he has never before travelled to Europe – and now will be living and working there. “It’ll be a lot of new stuff,” he said. “It’s definitely exciting.” It is not uncommon for different countries to use different styles of play in all sports, even hockey. He knows already that the format of German hockey will be different from what he is used to at the Beckwith Street arena. “I know that they play on a bigger ice surface, Olympic-sized ice,” said Madigan. “They’ve got some good skaters.” His former Canadian teammates are also happy for him – for the most part. “They’re excited. Everyone I talk to is excited, slash, a little bit jealous,” said Madigan. “Everyone wants to do this in hockey.”

Runners knock off the block in race to Glen Tay
R0012271335_0822
Sports – The annual Glen Tay Block Race was held this past Thursday, Aug. 29, with local high school runner Thomas Somerville placing in the top three. Somerville attends Perth and District Collegiate Institute, and proudly wore his school colours as he crossed the finish line with a time of 54 minutes, 55 seconds, in front of the Perth Museum, the very place where the race had begun around 6 p.m. Second place went to Tommy Des Brisay, of Kanata, an autistic run-
ner whose father accompanied him on the circuit by bicycle. Des Brisay clocked an impressive 53 minutes, 11 seconds. Des Brisay is no stranger to Lanark County running, having run in the Where’s Franktown? Run this past spring. First place was captured by Adam Richardson of the Ottawa Lions Track and Field Club, who crossed the line at 50 minutes, 28 seconds. Text and photos by DESMOND DEVOY

Perth welcomes service dog, handler in fundraising effort By TERRY O’HEARN
Events - With 31 days “in the bank” and beginning to feel the effects of a grueling schedule, Captain (Ret’d) Medric “Cous” Cousineau and his partner Thai continued the “Long Walk to Sanity”, on Sunday, Sept. 1, in the small village of Marmora, located approximately 60 kilometers east of Peterborough. Thai is a specially trained yellow Labrador, and she can detect minor changes in her master’s behavior which could lead to a recurrence of PostTraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms. The psychiatric disorder can be so overwhelming, it has been described as “like having a compound fracture ripping through our souls”. Cousineau was injured while serving as a tactical coordinator on an Armed Forces Sea King helicopter in 1986. In spite of his injuries, Cousineau managed to rescue two Americans from a fishing vessel several hundred miles off the coast of Newfoundland, and was later awarded the Star of Courage by then Governor General Jeanne Sauvé. He started suffering from PTSD soon after the dramatic rescue mission, with flashback and exaggerated startle response among the symptoms displayed. A downward spiral occurred over several years, and the effects of PTSD had taken hold so firmly that Cousineau was forced to leave the military. “Paws Fur Thought” was an idea for an initiative born in 2012, after Cousineau and Thai completed their training and certification in Kansas, and started appearing in Cousineau’s home province of Nova Scotia to advocate for the pairing of other injured veterans with their own service dogs. Thai was made possible by Caen Branch 164 of the Royal Canadian Legion in Eastern Passage, NS, through the Legion Benevolent Fund. The walk to date is on track to surpass the 1,000 kilometer mark, averaging close to a half-marathon each day. The Perth segment will start at the Great War Memorial Cenotaph at sunrise, 6:43 a.m., and
continue along a route with various points of interest in the town and surrounding area. A reception and lunch takes place at Branch 244 Legion starting at 5:30 p.m. to cap the day. Only three days later, the walk will end in Ottawa, and hopefully enough funds will have been raised in the 50 day walk to purchase 50 service dogs for 50 suffering veterans. While taking a brief respite in a canopy shelter at the Marmora Fair, Cousineau confessed to feeling tired. “Our biggest enemy has been the heat,” he admitted. With the humidex exceeding 40 for many of the past few days, it has at times been difficult to keep him and Thai hydrated and fuelled during their steady march. Not far away from the partners, wife and number one supporter Jocelyn keeps a watchful eye. She rejoined the walk on Thursday, August 15, and has been part of the daily activities since then, including about 30 percent of the walking, despite a painful knee problem. For most of us, it is impossible to imagine 50 back-to-back days with an arduous schedule each day of half-marathon walks; meeting with news media; giving talks to various groups and individuals; attend Legion events and services; and many other items on the agenda both mundane and inspiring. Cousineau has a ready answer for what keeps him going: “The second veteran that we paired with a dog contacted us for help after the police had intervened. If they had of been slower, he would have been a statistic. That’s what keeps you focused for 50 days.” Even if successful in meeting his expectations, Cousineau will not be resting on his laurels. He plans to build a team of dedicated volunteers to continue the mission of support for PTSD stricken vets, and to return home to Eastern Passage, NS. There he will pursue his numerous hobbies and, as he says, try to “Keep Calm and Walk the Dog.” To obtain more information, or to support “Paws Fur Thought”, visit pawsfurthought1.com.

Kudos aplenty for Perth Fair supporters at summer’s crescendo Events - The 168th annual Perth Fair was held from August 30th to Sept 2nd this year. The whole weekend was stuffed full of events to watch and participate in. Even though the weather was unsettled and sometimes downright wet throughout the weekend, crowds were out in good numbers for most of the time. First of all the Fair Executive would like to thank all the hardworking volunteers who make the fair successful. We have hundreds of people putting in thousands of hours to create a fair that has something for everyone. Each event has their own volunteer committee who are busy behind the scenes, I hope our visitors at the fair can appreciate all the energy it takes to make an event happen. Next I want to recognize all the businesses that support our fair. We are so grateful for our Corporate Sponsors who are there for us year after year, as well as our first time sponsors. And a huge thank you to the businesses and people who donate the use of their machinery, prizes and time to the Fairs events. Friday kicked off at noon with the traditional Robertson Amusements midway which offered rides and games for all ages and stages in life. Throughout the afternoon patrons enjoyed the Goat show in the Cattle Ring, which was followed by the local 4-H Sheep Club achievement. The
official opening at 7 pm was followed by the extremely popular Demolition Derby. This year there were 45 entrants and they put on a show that was worth sitting through a downpour for, as far as the crowd was concerned. Saturday was a busy day with poultry, multiple horse and cattle shows to please 4 legged enthusiasts. For those who prefer 4 wheeled power, we had the lawnmower races and the antique tractor pull mid way through the day. There were many events for the children from the pedal pull to Little Rays Reptiles show, both of which are very popular with the families. Saturday evening featured some of the best entertainment to be had with Little California and Brett Kissel. Little California once again provided excellent music with lots of energy to start the night off right. Alberta born Kissel, who currently has the number 1 song on the Canadian Country Music charts (It Started With A Song), is a performer who gave the crowd a show which far exceeded the price of fair admission. He has a wonderful voice, and a wide range of cover songs and his original work. He is a personable young man, who really appreciates the support of his growing fan base and no doubt we will be hearing more and more of him on country radio.

Community – The arrival of September brings thoughts of digging up dahlias, harvesting the last of the vegetables or planting spring bulbs or worse yet, memories of school. But at the Perth and District Horticultural Society, we don’t plan on letting our summer gardens disappear quite so easily. We are going to take a tour “A Walk Down the Garden Path” with our speaker James Graham, current president of the Ontario Horticultural Association. Join us on Tuesday evening, Sept. 10 at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium of the Perth and District Collegiate Institute, where we will take a virtual stroll along with an expert gardener pointing out the beauty of clematis, dahlia, hosta, various shrubs, numerous other perennials, annuals and vegetables of all sorts, along the way.
In addition to being the newly elected president of the Ontario Horticultural Society, Graham is a life time member of the Waterloo Horticultural Society and past district director of District 19. There isn’t much he doesn’t know about gardening having been a passionate gardener since the age of five! In his garden at home, he gardens 2/3 of an acre with naturalized space within the city as well as five community garden plots. Some of us, like this writer, can barely manage the small plot we do have! Please join us – all are welcome. Non-members are asked to pay $3 at the door. Since an annual membership is only $10 per year, why not consider joining? We have monthly speakers, social occasions, a beautiful year book, plant exchanges and an extensive lending library. It’s the best bargain in town. Submitted by Perth and District Horticultural Society.
Household Hints Are you baking potatoes for a large group? Place them in a muffin tin and then into the oven. They’re removable in one fell swoop and you won’t get burned trying to reach for the stray one that rolled to the back of the oven.

Nurturing our national nature in Canada’s National Parks By MARY ROBINSON
Lifestyle – Éric Hébert-Daly, national executive director of the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS), recently addressed the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) at their 25th anniversary Spring Gathering in Almonte on May 16. In his keynote presentation, ‘Looking Back and Looking Ahead: Nurturing Our National Nature,’ Hébert-Daly revealed three key shifts which have taken place in the approach to conservation in Canada’s National Parks: i) a shift in focus from visitor experience (or tourism) to ecological integrity; ii) a shift from unilateralism to multilateralism in planning; and iii) a shift from parks as isolated spaces or ‘islands’ to networks. Shift to focus on ecological integrity In discussing the first shift, Hébert-Daly referred to Canada’s first national park, established 127 years ago at Banff. When the government heard about the wonderful hot springs discovered by railway workers there, they realized this ‘wild’ natural wonder would be a great attraction for visitors, especially Europeans. The wilderness with its untouched natural beauty represented the country’s ‘soul’ and could be used to showcase Canada. This was the primary reason the National Park program began. In time, more parks were created and activities such as camping, hiking and canoeing became synonymous with Canada’s parks. People loved them and came from all over the world. However, infrastructures to support the cars, campers, food and waste

Right, Éric Hébert-Daly, right, national executive director of the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society, with Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) board member Iain Wilkes, in Almonte for MVFN’s Spring Gathering, inspired with his “Nurturing our National Nature” talk which focused on historical shifts in approach to conservation in Canada’s national parks. had to be created. Eventually we began to lose sight of the ecological values of our parks, and the wildlife that people were coming to see began to disappear. CPAWS came into existence in 1963, to help monitor and save nature within the parks and to preserve it for future generations. In the 1980s and 1990s CPAWS and local partners in Banff pushed hard to prevent Park encroachment by developers of the Banff town site. This led to a national panel on the ecological integrity of our national parks. Scientists and conservationists recommended that ecological in-
tegrity become the first priority in park management and the National Parks Act was changed accordingly. Scientists were hired by Parks Canada, and ecological monitoring and measurement became a reality. However, looking forward, this priority is being challenged. Parks Canada has suffered massive cutbacks and as a result, ecological monitoring in Canadian parks is hard hit. Developmental pressures in our parks are being felt again as illustrated by Hébert-Daly in a slide he showed of the Jasper Discovery Walk – a massive
glass-bottom platform, overhanging a cliff in Jasper National Park. The intent was to offer visitors an unobstructed view of wildlife, however, animals such as mountain goats will not migrate into areas with such overhangs. Another challenge to ecological integrity in the national parks is that wildlife such as caribou or moose do not recognize park boundaries. Therefore, we need to protect not only what is inside the parks, but we need to consider the impact of development outside the parks as well. With a photo of Gros

Morne National Park as a backdrop, Hébert-Daly talked about the proposed oil fracking just 100 metres outside the park. Clearly, we need buffer zones around the parks so the entire ecosystem will remain healthy and survive. Shift to multilateralism in planning national parks The second big shift around conservation efforts was a shift from a unilateral approach in planning and decision-making to a multilateral one that includes all stakeholders. In the early 1900s the creation of na-
tional parks was done on a very ad-hoc basis. Later, in the 1970s, a look at the ‘big picture’ led to plans to create national parks representing each of the 39 distinct ecoregions in Canada. Presently there are 42 national parks representing 26 eco-regions. Also, in the past, local residents, including First Nations communities were ignored in the creation of our national parks. Hébert-Daly related a story from the 1970s, about a small Lutsel K’e Dene First NaSee MVFN page 38

is becoming increasingly diverse, with immigrants arriving from places which did not offer experiences of wilderness such as are found in our National Parks. Canada is fortunately taking interesting approaches to ensuring that everyone can get ‘back to nature’. This includes creating some ‘island’ parks again which are not connected to others, but which will nevertheless serve a vital purpose. Rouge National Urban Park, in the middle of Toronto, is a new park which will be Canada’s first
national urban park. It cannot be held to the same ecological standards as other national parks, but it will be of great value in providing access to nature for the huge population at its doorstep. Hébert-Daly concluded by acknowledging we have established some amazing protected areas in Canada over the last 127 years. However, we will need constant vigilance in the future to establish and maintain the ecological integrity of our parklands and waters. We cannot act unilaterally to protect places without
inhibiting our future success. We are all inter-connected with our natural environments, and our public natural areas need to be planned and managed at a broader scale than in the past. The Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists natural history lectures will resume with a new series beginning in September. Details will be released to the media in early September and posted at mvfn. ca. Mary Robinson is a member of the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists.

tion community on the East Arm of Great Slave Lake accessible only by boat or plane. Officials from Ottawa made an unannounced visit to inform the community of plans to develop a national park there. They were listened to and then escorted back to their plane. From then on Hébert-Daly said, to the people of that First Nation community, the word ‘park’ became a ‘four-letter’ word, as the community feared for their land rights and the conversion of their home lands into a public campground. The approach to conservation at that time was clearly unilateral and many ‘bridges were burned’. In more recent years, consultations have involved everyone who will potentially be impacted. For example, the same Lutsel K’e Dene First Nation community is now in negotiation with Parks Canada to create a national park where residents will be the interpreters of their own land and will lead the eco-tourism initiatives. A new 30,000 square kilometre park to be named Thaidene Nene (Land of the Ancestors) is to be announced soon. It will be a fully co-managed national park and an economic model for future generations.
tect natural areas on their own. However, there needs to be interconnectivity between protected wild spaces to maintain the ecological integrity of entire ecosystems. Creating a Caribou Recovery Strategy, for example, is a good first step in caring for the species, but we need to take care of much more to maintain traditional migration routes of these animals, to permit adequate mixing of individuals within the different geographic populations, and to ensure forestry and logging operations do not negatively affect the herds. We need to look at the bigger picture, says Hébert-Daly. Land-use planning, which some may find ‘boring’ is a critical tool for carefully examining the potential of the landscape as a whole, with all relevant players at the table deciding on the best possible use of land. We also need to re-examine what we value in our culture and how to pass this on to the future. We tend not to attribute an economic value to two of our most important resources: clean water and air – the very things that keep us alive and healthy. CPAWS is supporting David Suzuki and his 30 x 30 Nature Challenge for Canadians to get outside in nature for 30 minutes for 30 days in May. This is increasingly important when approximately 80 per cent of Canada’s population live in the cities. Not only that, Hébert-Daly pointed out, our population

Grand Prix Race Weekend September 6–8, 2013
Federal government highlights continued support for small businesses surance (EI) premiums by crediting up to $1,000 on their payroll account. As of Aug. 2, more than $209 million has been credited to over 549,000 eligible employers. “Our government is continually working to improve business conditions in Canada, and one of the ways to do this is by keeping taxes low for jobcreating businesses,” said Braid. “Measures like the Apprenticeship Job Creation Tax Credit and the Hiring Credit for Small Businesses help reduce the tax burden on employers and make it easier for companies to grow. In an uncertain global economy, our government’s tax initiatives for jobs and growth is working and serving Canadians well.” This tax relief builds on the support provided to apprentices through the Apprentice Incentive Grant provided in budget 2006 and the Apprenticeship Completion Grant, which was introduced in budget 2009. The Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) program is a federal tax incentive program administered by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) that encourages Canadian businesses of all sizes and in all sectors to conduct research and development in Canada. The SR&ED program allows Canadian-controlled private corporations, to earn a refundable Investment Tax Credit (ITC) of 35 per cent on up to $3 million in qualified SR&ED expenditures for SR&ED carried out in Canada. The ITC is fully refundable on qualified SR&ED current expenditures and 40 per cent refundable on qualified SR&ED capital expenditures. For more on the Hiring Credit for Small Business, go to www.cra.gc.ca/ hiringcredit. Additional information on the Apprenticeship Job Creation Tax Credit, and other investment tax credits can be found at: www.cra.gc.ca/smallbusiness and select “Investment Tax Credit.”

News – The Honourable Kerry-Lynne D. Findlay, P.C., Q.C., M.P., Minister of National Revenue, and Peter Braid, Member of Parliament for Kitchener, participated in an event and roundtable discussion Aug. 28 in Kitchener with high-tech industry business owners at Communitech Hub to highlight the important tax relief and other measures available to Canadian small businesses. These incentives help small businesses across Canada to create jobs and economic growth. The Apprenticeship Job Creation Tax Credit (AJCTC) is one of the Harper Government’s key measures aimed at providing support to Canadians, including programs and services for those entering the labour market and those looking to upgrade their skills and training. The AJCTC provides businesses a maximum credit of $2,000 per year for the first two-year term of hire for each eligible apprentice. The government also recognizes the importance of supporting the job creation capacity of small businesses by giving them additional incentives to hire new apprentices in eligible trades. As of Oct. 1, 2012, approximately 13,250 employers used the credit to deduct more than $108 million on their income tax returns for the last tax year. “Our government has made real progress in offering tax relief measures that support a more skilled and educated workforce. These initiatives are helping Canada build a strong foundation for future economic growth and job creation,” said Minister Findlay. “Through tax relief measures, grants and support for training programs, we are encouraging apprenticeships and careers in the skilled trades.” Economic Action Plan 2011 introduced the Hiring Credit for Small Business (HCSB). The HCSB stimulates new employment and supports small businesses, while providing relief from the employer’s share of employment in-

Lifestyle – Jean-Claude and Lucille Marcoux of Mt-St-Hilaire, Quebec, are the proud owners of a spectacular piece of automotive history, a 1954 Nash Ambassador Custom Country Club Airflyte two-door hardtop. This turquoise beauty was built in the Nash factory in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and purchased new by a couple in Kamloops, British Columbia. It was the only car they ever owned! The husband died ten years before his wife, who stored the car till she passed away at age 84. Their family sold the car to an elderly man in Vancouver, who soon fell ill and decided to sell the car. Jean-Claude tells the story: “A man living near Hull, Quebec, across the river from Ottawa, bought the car sight unseen and had it shipped by rail in November 2002. We went there to look at a Studebaker Avanti he had for sale, but when my wife and I saw the Nash we just fell in love with her. It didn’t hurt that Italian designer Sergio Pinin Farina had something to do with her special beauty. Lucille has baptized her ‘Palazzo’ in keeping with her Italian-inspired design.” “We wrote the man a cheque, and were soon on the road heading east. The ride was fantastic – quiet, smooth, and powerful. On that day, I drove her through the 38,000 mile mark. Our Nash was brought to a good mechanic who took her through a complete inspection, tune-up, and minor repairs. He discovered that our new antique was not equipped with fuses but had breakers! Just like in a house…imagine! In 1954! Then our beauty got a brand new paint job. She still had her original turquoise paint that needed some ‘freshin’ up.’ Also, the back bumper was re-chromed. The interior is original except for the front seat recovered with material shipped from Oregon.” “During the last ten years, we’ve been travelling all around Quebec, accumulating thumbs-up and trophies, oftentimes also in the US, even winning First in Class in the 2007 Nashional held in Boston (also featured in Collectible Automobile magazine as part of their coverage of Nash). She’s a knockout and people just love her! I can’t tell you how many people approached us asking if she was for sale (she’s not!).”

Acoustic Blue Monday sees Vancouver duo rock The Cove Inn Arts – The Harpoonist & The Axe Murderer from Vancouver, made up of musicians Shawn Hall and Matt Rogers – one of the hottest blues duos in Canada these days – delivered a fabulous show Aug. 26 at Acoustic Blue Monday (ABM) at The Cove Inn, Westport. Coming off a dynamite performance at the Limestone City Blues Festival in Kingston Saturday night, Aug. 24, in front of thousands of people they brought the same great repertoire and energy to the intimate setting of The Cove. The audience absolutely loved them. In fact, one table last night came up from Kingston to catch them again after seeing them for the first time Saturday night. It was not a full house though, unfortunately – about 75 per cent – a bigger crowd than the two previous ABM shows at The Cove this summer but still disappointing for promoter James Doran of Choose
The Blues Productions who puts on these shows. “Look at the quality of artists that we have brought in for this series – some of the best in the country,” he said. “And consider that guests get a sumptuous Cove buffet dinner along with the terrific entertainment – plus some great door prizes – all for only $45! You can spend that much on dinner alone in many restaurants. I just can’t understand why we aren’t sold out for every show. Hopefully we’ll get a big turnout for the last show of the season with Suzie Vinnick to help decide whether we will do this series again next summer or not. I would hate to have to end it but it’s use it or lose it.” Those who did attend weren’t disappointed. “Great music; a wonderSubmitted photo ful evening,” said first-time attendee The latest Acoustic Blue Monday was held at The musicians Shawn Hall and Matt Rogers.

St. James of Jerusalem Anglican Church in Jellyby bids farewell Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a church in the valley by the wildwood, No lovelier spot in the dale; No place is so dear to my childhood, As the little brown church in the vale.
The words of this old familiar hymn come to mind when one envisions St. James of Jerusalem Anglican Church, Jellyby, located on Concession Nine, ElizabethtownKitley. This despite the fact that the church in question is a beautiful red and yellow
brick house of worship having â&#x20AC;&#x153; a central tower with a soaring spire and adorned with pointed windowsâ&#x20AC;? and features an exterior painted clock face on the tower, possibly intended to remind people of the service time and may, in fact, have been intended to
be replaced, in time, with an actual clock. The simple interior with its stunning stained glass window above the communion table features Christ crucified with a medieval knight kneeling at the foot of the cross. This window was a gift of friends in England of the Rev. John Stannage, clergyman in charge of the Mission of North Augusta at this time. As well, while not located in a vale, but rather amid flat farmland, the sentiment of the hymn is undoubtedly accurate to all those for whom this church has been dear throughout their lifetime.
After families, such as the Jelly family, arrived in Canada from Northern Ireland, via United States, and after worshiping in nearby North Augusta for a time, a decision was made on Dec. 1, 1863 to make their dream a reality and build their own neighbourhood church with Mr. John Jelly, Esq. and Mr. Joseph Godkin â&#x20AC;&#x153;appointed church wardens of the intended churchâ&#x20AC;?. The location was considered ideal with it being so close to Jellyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Station, on the Ottawa and Brockville Railway. Under the guidance of the Rev. John Stannage, on a site
given by Mr. John Jelly, with an acre of land set aside for a graveyard and with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;very liberal subscriptionâ&#x20AC;? from John Jelly, the church of St. James, Jellyby was built. From The Canadian Churchman dated Jan. 18, 1865 issue: â&#x20AC;&#x153;A new church to be called St. James was opened for divine service on New Years Day, on the Tenth Line of Elizabethtown. The mercury was down to zero, that is 32 degrees of frost, but this did not hinder an immense concourse of people from assembling from all See CHURCH page 45

After close to 150 years, St. James of Jerusalem, Jellyby held its final service on Sunday, Aug. 18.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Easyâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;simpleâ&#x20AC;? decisions donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always add up to the right financial/estate planning answers. Here are a few â&#x20AC;&#x153;because I canâ&#x20AC;? decisions to consider just a bit more carefully. I will add an adult child as the joint owner of my investments or property because it will make the distribution of my estate easier. While there are certain situations in which joint ownership of assets can be a sound strategy, you need to look at it from many angles: â&#x20AC;˘ Are you willing to give up control of the asset(s)? â&#x20AC;˘ If your child separates or divorces, do you want the asset(s) potentially divided between your child and an ex-spouse? â&#x20AC;˘ What happens if your child goes bankrupt? â&#x20AC;˘ Are you okay with disinheriting the children of your child, if your child dies shortly before you do? â&#x20AC;˘ Do you intend that your joint owner should share the asset(s) with other beneficiaries (including your other children) in your will or has no obligation to share? If the joint ownership contract between you and your child is not explicitly worded, it could lead to expensive sibling infighting that could eat up the assets. Why go to the expense of retaining a lawyer when all I need is a Will Kit? For starters, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have
Manage Your Money access to expert advice about whether your clause selections are appropriate to your situation. A simple â&#x20AC;&#x153;kitâ&#x20AC;? program wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask key questions about your family and estate structure, such as: â&#x20AC;˘ Is yours is a blended family? If so, you could inadvertently disinherit children from a previous relationship â&#x20AC;˘ Is a beneficiary disabled? If so, it is usually advantageous to establish a discretionary trust in your will to protect that beneficiaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to receive social assistance payments. If the beneficiary is mentally disabled, then a trust will also allow you to choose someone to manage the beneficiaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inheritance. â&#x20AC;˘ Is the charitable organization you wish to leave your estate to properly registered with the CRA as a charity? If it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a tax credit. Nor will a â&#x20AC;&#x153;kitâ&#x20AC;? program provide tax advice or assess the different tax liabilities each beneficiary could face, leading to an inequitable distribution of your estate. In addition, when a lawyer prepares your will, the lawyer has certain obligations under the law to make a basic assessment of your capacity, which could become important evidence later on, if some family members want to challenge your
will. I will give significant sums of money to family members during my lifetime. Whether the money is â&#x20AC;&#x153;giftedâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;loanedâ&#x20AC;? to your children for whatever reason, without the proper advice and direction, there could be a minefield of problems down the road. For example, if the arrangement isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t properly documented, it could be argued that it was, indeed, a loan or may result in one child receiving a significant gift during your lifetime that unfairly reduces anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inheritance. What you should or shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do in situations like these isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always clear. Your legal and professional advisors can bring clarity you need to every aspect of your financial life. This column, written and published by Investors Group Financial Services Inc.

parts of this and the adjoining townships, thus showing the interest they take in the work of God’s Church. The building will accommodate only 200, but 300 at least crowded into it on this occasion, many standing and filling the aisles and the porch, and the old school house nearby had to be warmed to receive those that could not find entrance into the church and who, otherwise, would have been frost bitten.” Another interesting point from this same issue recounts “Cold as the day was, one of the North Augusta choir took the harmonium from that church in his sleigh, over the snow banks, for the pleasure of helping the music in the new church on that occasion, and for that purpose he had to travel eighteen miles, while Miss [Eliza Ann] Checkly, a young lady of 12, who played the harmonium at North Augusta, was only too happy to do the same at the opening of the new church. Let us hope and pray that this Church may be the means of propagating and keeping up the truth of God’s Pure Word in this place to the latest generation.” And with the dedication, faithful efforts and Christian devotion of those early families - with family names of Gilpin, Berry, Walsh, Pritchard, Moorehouse, Jelly, McLean, Steacy, Greaves, Cosgrove, Bell, Godkin, Tackaberry, Colborne, Chamney, Connor, Langtry, Sutton, Stinson, Davis, Rowsome, Quinn and Payne and the many, many later families - “the little brick church in the glen” lived on serving the community as a place of worship, a place for baptisms, marriages, celebrations of special church events as well as funerals for 150 years. And now we arrive at the year 2013 and reality is dictating changes in the way we worship, the places in which we worship and the number of Submitted photo places that can be sustained in a twenty-first century world.

in 1864, albeit with a somewhat different sentiment, we must look to the future remembering the words of the prophet Jeremiah, “ ‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord. ‘plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’” Jeremiah 29:11 On Sunday, Aug. 18, a Ser-

In the Sportsman portion of the Ogilvie’s Auto and Fleet Triple Crown Shane Pecore and Doug O’Blenis started on the front row with O’Blenis getting the early lead into turn one. O’Blenis would lead the opening four laps until defending track champion Chris Herbison took control of the race and would open up a full straightaway by lap 10. On lap 13 Tristan Draper spun off turn three bringing out the yellow. When the green flew Herbison was able to keep the top spot but Jon Mills, Dylan Evoy, Shane Pecore and Ryan Poole were starting to make a run. Mills was fresh off a win last week and was working on Herbison but the defending track champion stepped up the pace and pulled away from Mills by the halfway point. With Herbison well out in front of the field the best battle on the race track was for the second spot as Dylan Evoy tried several attempts to get by Mills as they put on a great side by side battle over the next 10 laps. On lap 28 Tristan Draper spun in turn two. On the restart Herbison had clearly the fastest car on the racetrack as he pulled away from the field with Mills, Evoy, Shane Pecore and Steve Barber charging hard in the top five. Chris Herbison has had a season of struggles but he put it all together on this night scoring his second win of the season and in the process wrapped up the Ogilvie’s Auto and Fleet Sportsman Triple Crown. Mills settled for second with Dylan Evoy, third and Shane Pecore locked up the title by taking the green flag and closed out the year with a fourth place run. Jonathan Ferguson rounded out the top five. The Rookie Sportsman were set to close out their season as Scott McGill and Riley Gill led the field into turn one with Gill taking the top spot away.

On the restart Gill continued to lead but Jasmine David was starting to put the pressure on. David made several attempts at the lead as the laps wound down but Gill was able to hold off all challenges. On lap 11 however Gill’s great run came to an end as he slid off turn 2 handing the lead to Jasmine David. From there on it was no contest as Jasmine David closed out a great rookie season by taking her second win of the year by a full straightaway. Richard Raison came home second with Chris Bakker finishing third and in the process claimed the Rookie Sportsman title. Scott McGill and Riley Gill rounded out the top five. The Street Stocks were ready to go and the points battle took a major turn before the start of the race.

Sports – Track titles and bragging rights were on the line this past Saturday, Aug. 31 at the Brockville Ontario Speedway (BOS) in all division plus the final points in the first ever Ogilvie’s Auto and Fleet Triple Crown for the 358 Modified and Sportsman divisions. The Modifieds were set for 50 laps of racing and with the heads up start format Lee Ladouceur and Jeff Sykes led the field to Gary Vandermeer’s green flag. Sykes was able to use the outside groove to take the lead away as Ladouceur, Danny O’Brien, Brian McDonald and Pat O’Brien completed the top five spots. Sykes was on rails in the opening laps as he held a six-car length lead working the outside lane to perfection until the first caution flew on lap 12 for defending track champion Kyle Dingwall spun in turn four. When the green flew Sykes continued his great run with Danny O’Brien, Brian McDonald, Pat O’Brien and Jason Riddell making up the top five. Danny O’Brien was in pursuit of the lead on lap 20 as Sykes began to enter into lapped traffic. Five laps later, Danny used a slick move in turn three to take away the spot using the bottom side of the speedway. On lap 28 the yellow flew for Luke Stewart who slowed with a flat tire. On the restart Danny took command of the lead but behind him Lee Gill was having quite an adventure. After a near flip in his heat put him 15th on the starting grid Gill tried at will to keep pace with his championship rival. After surviving contact with the wall and dodging several race cars along the way Gill was able to break into the top five by lap 30. On lap 36 the yellow flew again for Joe Banks who spun off turns one and two. When the green flew Danny had the fastest car on the track and despite two late race cautions he would cruise on the his sixth win of the year and clinch the Ogilvie’s Auto and Fleet 358 Modified Triple Crown with older brother Pat coming home second. Lee Gill came home third sealing up his fifth career

things, but it should never be boring. How boring is it? Well in one of the many chase scenes the director decides to shoot it from the perspective of a camera on the hood of Brentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car. So all you see is the hood of Brentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car chasing the tail gate of the bad guyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car. It goes on so long I began to think Ethan Hawke and Selena Gomez had quit, and this was the only way the director could finish the film. Frankly the rest of the film
isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much better. To be sure a lot of cars get wrecked, but it just goes on and on and on and it never seems to go anywhere. They could have done more with the main characters to make the film interesting, but they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even bother to name two of the four. As far as casts go Voight and Budig are barely worth mentioning as theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re barely in the film. I thought putting Ethan Hawke and Selena Gomez in the close quarters
of a fast car and a tense situation might be interesting. I was wrong. They play stock characters and give stock performances. Gomez manages to look the part of the bratty rich kid, and Hawke manages to look like he knows how to drive, and that is about it. If you need to see a film with one long car chase, get a copy of The Blues Brothers because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how you wreck a bunch of cars.

Children’s entertainers team up New trapping program to provide with conservationist for new album recreational and outdoor benefits to youth Arts – Award-winning Canadian children’s entertainers and stars of Treehouse TV, Splash’N Boots, along with leading Ottawa-based conservationist, Little Ray (director of eastern Ontario’s largest exotic animal rescue, Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo), have teamed up to bring you a brand new album, “Keepin’ It Green”. Dedicated to conservation, the new album will feature 10 original Splash’N Boots songs that will keep kids of all ages dancing to its infectious melodies, all while educating listeners about a variety of endangered species found across Canada. Available Aug. 30 at Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo locations across Canada and at www. splashnboots.com, a portion of all proceeds from “Keepin’ It Green” will help support conservation initiatives in your community. “We are so excited about this collaboration with Little Ray,” says Nick Adams, the group’s ‘Splash’. His partner, Perth native, Taes Leavitt is ‘Boots.’ “Conservation is an important topic today, so we are happy to help educate our fans through our music.” “This Splash’N Boots album is a great vehicle to further educate kids and parents alike about endangered species and conser-
vation,” says Paul “Little Ray” Goulet, Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo’s director. “We are thrilled that visitors at our zoo will be able to listen to this album at home and continue learning after leaving our facility.” Based in Ottawa and founded in 1995 by husband and wife team Sheri and Paul Goulet, along with the addition of the zoo’s curator, Matthew Korhonen, in 2000, Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo is proud to have the largest and most diverse animal education outreach program the country has to offer. Annually, they tour coast to coast, from Newfoundland to British Columbia, presenting and performing at museums, fairs, festivals, schools, and more. Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo is partners with the SPCA and Humane Societies across Canada, as well as provincial and federal authorities for the placement of unwanted and confiscated reptiles and amphibians. Crowned Canadian Children’s Group of the Year at the 2012 SiriusXM Indie Awards and with several music videos on heavy rotation across the country on Treehouse TV, Splash’N Boots have seven CDs and two full-length DVDs under their belts, as well as more than 1,500 international festival and theatre performanc-
es. Never showing any signs of slowing down, the breakthrough duo recently released their sixth album, “Coconuts Don’t Fall Far From the Tree” which shot up to number one on Bandcamp in its first week. In the fall of 2011, the cuttingedge duo sold-out 2,000 seat theatres in 11 cities across Canada with Treehouse LIVE for the Roll Play Live Animal Party tour – based on Treehouse TV’s award-winning show Roll Play. Subsequently, the breakout pair landed an additional four music videos as well as four half hour episodes of Roll Play that aired nationally in the summer of 2013 on the popular children’s network. Splash’N Boots are constantly connected to their fans via social media channels. With a growing following on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, the two have a lot in store for 2013, including several more Kitchen Jam appearances at Sick Kids Hospital; an organization they continually support, recently donating $1,000 after selling their first 1,000 copies of their “Back in Yellow” CD. For more information on Splash’N Boots or Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo please visit www. splashnboots.com and raysreptiles.com.
News – The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) and the Ontario Fur Managers Federation (OFMF) congratulate the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) for introducing a youth trapping program in the province. The announcement was made at the OFMF annual general meeting held in Napanee over the Sept. 24-25 weekend. “Trapping is a heritage activity and by providing an opportunity for youth to be involved, it will enhance their appreciation for the outdoors and instill a lifelong dedication to conservation,” said OFAH executive director Angelo Lombardo. “The OFAH is pleased that the MNR recognizes that a youth trapping program will not only provide recreational and outdoor benefits, but also pass along knowledge of an activity that is part of the cultural fabric of Canada.” Beginning this fall, youth between the ages of 12 to 15 will be eligible to obtain a trapping license. The license
will permit youth to possess, prepare and sell pelts commercially. To qualify, youth must successfully complete the Fur Harvest, Fur Management and Conservation Course (FHFMCC) and be accompanied by a licensed trapper 18 years of age or older. The FHFMCC provides training with an emphasis on safety, humane trapping techniques and sustainable wildlife management practices. “The Ontario Fur Managers Federation has worked closely with the MNR to make this program a reality, and we are delighted that the government has agreed to move forward on this vital and timely initiative. The introduction of a youth trapping program will allow us to teach young people about the rich history associated with trapping in Ontario, and ensure that future generations understand the key role that trapping and trappers play in terms of conservation, sustainability, wildlife management, protection of crops and livestock
and public safety,” said OFMF president Karl Lindstrom. “Trapping is considered an activity of significant historical, social, cultural and economic value in Ontario for centuries, and one that results in economic benefits to the communities and individuals. Ontario trappers have worked tirelessly for many years towards a program like this which will guide youth to be safe and responsible trappers,” said Minister of Natural Resources David Orazietti. For more information, including how to apply, visit www.mnr.gov.on.ca or www. furmanagers.com. The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters is Ontario’s largest, non-profit, fish and wildlife conservation-based organization, representing 100,000 members, subscribers and supporters, and 710 member clubs. To learn more, visit www.ofah.org. Submitted by the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters.

Community – The second annual Live Man Auction to benefit the United Way of Lanark County is set for Oct. 5 at the Carleton Place Curling Club. Last year’s event raised close to $7,000 for the organization. Above, Ed Merkley, former manager of the Carleton Place LCBO, upped his bid at last year’s auction by strutting his stuff to the song “Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)” by country music duo Big & Rich. Merkley offered two hours of physical labour and a gift basket. Men wishing to take part in the event should call 613-912-1959.

News – Two recent fatal off-road vehicle (ORV) incidents in one day and a spike in preventable ORV fatalities have the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) issuing an important reminder about the dangers of riding impaired and not wearing a helmet. On Aug. 12, the OPP investigated two separate fatal incidents involving ORVs, bringing the total number of lives lost in OPP investigated ORV incidents to nine for 2013. According to the OPP, the two most common factors noted in 2013 fatal ORV investigations are not new to collision investigators. Of the nine fatalities this year, alcohol consumption was a factor in five of the incidents and six of the nine victims were not wearing a helmet.
