New funding provides the Table with opportunity to expand program offerings It is the time of year when nature is bountiful in its fruits, and thanks to funds from the Government of Canada, the produce shelves at the Good Food Bank in Perth will be more fullystocked and able to offer more fresh fruits and vegetables to community members.

At The Table Community Food Centre we are excited to announce that thanks to new funding from the Government of Canada, we will be able to expand our programming and carry on with services previously funded by other programs. Through a Homelessness Partnering Strategy — Rural and Remote grant facilitated by the United Way of Greater Simcoe, the Table Community Food Centre has received just over $50,000 in funding to support three different program components up to March 2018.

The first program change is a pilot project in the Good Food Bank (GFB). Grant funds will be used to increase the amount of fresh produce available and eliminate the cap on how much fresh food community members could take home. Instead, Good Food Bank participants will be encouraged to take what they can use. From the moment it started, the new “take what you can use” rule in the GFB at the Table has been a success. While a primary objective of the project is to increase the amount of fresh food available to low-income households, another important benefit of this 10-month pilot program is

A grant through the Homelessness Partnering Strategy - Rural and Remote of more than $50,000 will allow the Table Community Food Centre in Perth to offer more fresh fruit and vegetables to community members accessing its Good Food Bank. The funds will also help enhance the services of its Peer Advocacy Office and offer training for Lanark County and Smiths Falls residents. the dignity of choice in accessing an essential need.

GFB manager Wendy Quarrington says she wishes she could film the reactions of community members as they begin to truly shop for what their household can use from the wellstocked produce rather than just what they are allowed to take. Thanks to

the grant funds, our ongoing generous community and corporate supporters, and to the generous donations from local farmers and gardeners in this season of bounty, there is a plethora of produce available through this pilot program.

The second component of the grant will provide funds to enhance

the services of our Peer Advocacy Office. We will be able to continue offering a fourth day a week of support in the Peer Advocacy Office, offer transportation support to those who need to travel into Perth to access our services, and training opportunities to the advocacy team. The training will increase the advocates' effectiveness at serving the folks who come through the office seeking support with a variety of challenging situations, including accessing the energy cost rebate programs available to people living on low incomes. The Table will be able to open our fall 2017 Community Action Training to community members from across Lanark County/Smiths Falls because we can offer transportation assistance to community members to attend the trainings.

New pastor, new name for growing Franktown church Just three months after taking over as the new lead pastor at Harvest Community Church, Chad Monaghan is shaking things up in Franktown with a name change for his church.

Harvest will now be known as Move Church, starting on Sunday, Sept. 10, at 10:30 a.m., capping off a seven-year journey that saw him go from hating religion to loving Jesus, from leading a church in Franktown to, just over a year ago, not even knowing how to find Franktown on a map.

Early days Monaghan was born in Peterborough, and he has a sister, Kristy, who now lives in London, and has a child of her own. She works for the department that handles scholarship applications at the University of Western Ontario. His mother was a stay-at-home-mom, while his dad worked for Sysco Foodservices Inc. They will have been married 40 years this month.

He attended Fleming College, where he graduated with a three-year diploma in computer security investigating. Afterwards, he worked at the local Sears department store outlet as a loss prevention manager for several years. He later transferred to a Sears store in Ottawa, a move that would change his life. It was at Sears that he met his wife Kate, in 2009, where she worked as a counter

manager at the cosmetics counter. (Kate is from the Quebec side of the Ottawa River, near Hawkesbury.)

The two were married on Sept. 17, 2011, and they have a four-year-old daughter, Aria.

(He now works for Ikea and the family lives in Kanata.)

Born again Monaghan came to Christ on one of the most auspicious dates for Christians - Good Friday.

It was 2010, and Monaghan freely admits now that he attended services that morning to please his wife, who was more open to Christianity than he was.

“She knew. She would say she loved Jesus, but she knew very little of faith,” he said.

That Friday morning, she “convinced me to go. I went to make her happy.”

Growing up, his parents were not greatly religious, but felt that “they wanted us o have a background of faith.” They attended a mainline Protestant church but “it didn’t mean anything…(It was) not my favourite time. Not my favourite church.”

Sitting in the pews, “there was a lot about God. He seemed far away and boring.”

“I hated religion. I hated church,” he added. “I wanted nothing to do with God. I would say I was agnostic,” feeling, at that time, that “there was probably something,”

out there.

He laughs when he looks back on that period of his life now.

“If you grow up hating church…it makes you a perfect candidate to be a pastor!” he said with a smile.

They walked into the Lifecentre church in Orleans, where Joseph Anderson was singing.

“He had such a joy about him and a connection about what he was singing,” said Monaghan of the man who has since become a spiritual friend and guide. “It softened my heart. Made me pause.”

Pastor Jason Boucher was leading the service, and it made his words also penetrate Monaghan.

“It’s all about what Jesus did on your behalf,” said Monaghan. “I’ve never had this before. He (Jesus) was dying for my sins - I should probably take a moment to figure this out. By the end of the service…it just hit my heart.”

Boucher asked those who had not given their life to Christ to put their hand up, to signal that they believed which Monaghan did.

New faith, new direction Monaghan began studying the bible the very next day - he would need it in the coming years. He served as a youth pastor for two years at the Lifecentre, and organized small group See CHURCH page 4

studies. He also did a three-year diploma course through the Ottawa School of the Bible.

“I felt the call to pastoral ministry, very soon after I came to faith,” said Monaghan.

But in time, he began to realize that it was time for something else. He actively prayed for direction, and “I heard Him say, in prayer, ‘Go to Franktown.’ But we didn’t know where Franktown was! (We) couldn’t find it on a map.”

But Franktown kept coming up.

The couple had a Sunday morning off, so they decided to check out some new churches.

They did a Google search, and came upon the Harvest Community Church, and, after looking over Harvest’s beliefs, found that they aligned with their beliefs. Just before they hit the car though, they realized, “we’ve got to figure out where this (church) is.” There, at the bottom of the page, was the church’s address at Calvary Christian Academy (CCA) - located, lo and behold, in Franktown.

“We lost it!” said Monaghan, beaming.

When they arrived in Beckwith Township, however, they

soon quickly realized that the church had a more modest attendance than their old church.

While Lifecentre could see 700 people at one service, when they pulled into the CCA’s parking lot just over a year ago, there were a grand total of seven vehicles in the parking lot.

He spoke to Harvest’s thenpastor, Scott Ridenour. The American missionary had founded the church in Carleton Place, arriving in 2011 with his family from the American South. He emailed Ridenour after attending that first service - and Ridenour emailed Boucher “to make sure we were not crazy.”

At the same time as Monaghan said he was feeling the call to Franktown, Ridenour said he was being called away elsewhere.

“Our stories just aligned,” he said.

In the coming months, Ridenour took up a position with a new church, Fellowship Pickering, east of Toronto, this past June, while Monaghan was unanimously approved by the church membership as the new pastor of the church.

Now that he was in charge of the church he recognized something - that the Harvest name was fairly common. In fact, oth-

Pastor Chad Monaghan prays before the start of the last service of the Harvest Community Church in the gym of Calvary Christian Academy in Franktown, Beckwith Township, on Sunday, Sept. 3. The church will re-launch next Sunday, Sept. 10, as the Move Church. er churches in eastern Ontario had the same name, and it was confusing for people who came to visit, looking for a home church, who left confused, or turned off, expecting one thing, and finding another.

So, Monaghan began to seek a new name for the church - and the writing was on the wall,

literally.

On the couple’s bedroom wall, they had tacked up pages with different names, and they kept being drawn to one name in particular - Move Church.

“It just felt like He gave it to us,” said Monaghan.

The church was founded in 2012 as the InSpire Church, and later changed its name to Harvest. Now, it will officially change its name to Move Church during the weekly 10:30 a.m. service on Sunday, Sept.

10, at CCA. And he promises that “this is it,” that there are no more name changes planned.

He is polling his membership about what new international charities and/or missions they would like to support, as well as what local endeavors they can support. The church, for example, has taken part in Love Carleton Place, visiting senior citizens in a home, as well as taking part in the Santa Claus Parade in the past. One of the church’s most well known annual events has been the Easter egg hunt at Riverside Park. Monaghan said he would like to see the egg hunt continue, though it might not “exactly” look the same as it has in the past.

Though he has only been called to Christ these past seven years, his faith journey has

Rural Schools of Montague book launches Sept. 10 at Lanark County Harvest Festival After years of work by many volunteers of Archives Lanark, Rural Schools of Montague is finally published.

The book launch will be at the Lanark County Harvest Festival on Sunday, Sept. 10 at the Beckwith Recreation Complex on 9th Line.

Since Montague is the featured township this year, Archives Lanark will have a sales table as part of its display in the Coverall.

As in the previous eight books in the series, the hardcover book sells for $45 (no tax) and only 150 books have been published. The previous books only covered the one-room schools until the amalgamations took place in the late 1960s. A few months ago, though, it was decided to include the Harper Condie and Montague Central schools since they were opened long before the newest school was built and still served the rural area. The latest photo of students used was in 1980 but there are still many unidentified students, which someone will be able to name.

In addition, Archives Lanark has been given the copyright to Doorways of the Past, the comprehensive history of North Elmsley published last year by four authors, so it is being reprinted and will soon be available too.

Exciting times for the archives as the volunteers have been quite busy serving people visiting from all over North America. It's truly rewarding to see the joy on their faces when original documents bearing their ancestors’ names are found. The archives is open every Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. until Thanksgiving weekend when we revert to winter hours

Amateur astronomer Frank Hitchens to speak at local Science Literacy Week events In his 1996 book, The DemonHaunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, the late Dr. Carl Sagan stated, in part, the following: “We have created a global civilization in which most crucial elements — transportation, communication, and all other industries profoundly depend on science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster.

We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.”

Sept. 18 to Sept. 24 is Science Literacy Week in Canada.

All across the nation, museums, schools, libraries and other venues will be hosting a variety of events with a view to engaging the public in the wonder and thrill of scientific discovery.

CDSBEO director of education announces retirement William J. Gartland, director of education for the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO), has announced his retirement from the board. He will leave the board starting in January 2018.

Gartland has served as teacher and administrator in Catholic education for the past 32 years. He has held the position of CDSBEO director of education for the past 11 years, and previously held the position of superintendent of human resources with the board prior to becoming director.

During his distinguished career, Gartland has also held positions as principal, viceprincipal and teacher with the Ottawa Catholic School Board, where he also served as assistant to the director and manager of corporate affairs.

As director of education, Gartland has overseen many initiatives within the CDSBEO, including the development of several notable mental health initiatives, for which the board was recognized by the Mood Disorders Society of Canada with two awards.

William J. Gartland, the director of education for the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario, has announced his retirement. He will leave his post at the board in January 2018.

He has made tremendous contributions to improved student achievement, and strengthened and expanded community outreach through the development of new partnerships and co-ordinated re-

sponse initiatives.

Over the 11 years, he has been director of education, Gartland has served on many provincial committees including his role as vice-chair of the English Catholic Committee of Directors of Education.

In addition, he has been an active member as the executive of the Committee of Directors of Education and has served on provincial negotiation teams on behalf of the Ontario Catholic School Trustees’ Association. He has also been a mentor to new Catholic Directors of Education, and has been involved in the community through various swimming and alpine skiing youth competitions.

Gartland has also served two consecutive years as the cochair for the Canadian Educators Conference on Mental Health.

“I have enjoyed my vocation as an educator during these past 32 years,” noted Gartland.

“Of course, it is difficult to leave, and I will miss the people from all parts of our board. We are a great Catholic community and I leave

with a spirit of appreciation for all the blessings I have been given over the years. It has been a tremendously rewarding career.”

CDSBEO chair Todd Lalonde noted that Gartland has guided the board with a great vision for positive growth that has resonated throughout CDSBEO schools.

“We are most grateful to Bill for having accepted the challenge as director some 11 years ago,” he said.

“Under his guidance, the CDSBEO has continued to excel as one of the most highly regarded Catholic boards in the province. We wish him a long and healthy retirement.

The board will miss his leadership.”

The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario operates 40 elementary and 10 secondary schools across eight counties.

The CDSBEO offers excellence in Catholic education through provincial-leading programs to approximately 12,800 students.

COMMENTARY

More attention needed

T

he Ontario Provincial Police commissioner appeared to sum up the situation well in a recent release when he stated that distracted drivers take a tremendous toll on public safety. Stats show that distraction was cited as the primary cause in 6,360 collisions investigated by the OPP since Jan. 1; speed was listed as the main cause in 4,700 crashes, followed by alcohol or drugs at 1,158.

Distracted driving was the focus of the Labour Day weekend traffic initiative.

The problem is not restricted to people who talk on their cell phones or send text messages; distracted driving can be anything from fumbling around to find a CD to trying to take a sip of that double double or finish that breakfast sandwich.

Although drivers are responsible for their actions, passengers have a role to play in addressing the unsafe behaviour. "By ignoring the problem, you are contributing to the problem," an OPP release states.

"As a passenger, speak up and voice your

concerns about your safety when travelling with a distracted driver."

The fact that it is back to school time provides an opportunity for provincial and municipal police services to challenge public complacency and remind motorists that there has never been a greater need to pay more attention to the road. Those of us who are quick to call out other drivers for using their cell phones but aren't adverse to looking down to see who just called or texted should practice what we preach and keep that device out of sight or pull over to a safe location if we really need to know who it was. We need to set a better example to the young drivers and not just assume that they are the only ones to whom the distracted driving message applies.

As OPP Commissioner Hawkes noted, this year's collision data are compelling; inattentive driving causes more crashes than speeding and impaired driving combined. We can do something about it.

Back to school time was yet another reminder of Depression times

etting ready to go back to school after the summer was over, was no big deal. Smart’s Drug Store put out long tables of the school books we would need, and what couldn’t be traded or handed down from an older brother or sister, had to be bought.

That meant more chickens, eggs and whatever else could bring in a few dollars would have to be peddled door to door by Mother to pay for what we would need in school supplies.

For me, unlike bad Marguirite, there would be no new clothes. What I had worn before would be washed and starched if needed, and any missing buttons sewn on. If I

was lucky, I might get a new pair of store-bought bloomers to wear in place of my flour bag ones I wore every day. But I would be allowed to wear them only for the first day back to school. As if anyone, other than me, would know I even had them on!

It was a Saturday. A week before school was to start. We were on our way into Renfrew, just Mother and me.

The back seat of the Model T was loaded with what Mother hoped would sell so that we could buy our house supplies, and have enough left over to buy what books we needed for school.

There’s no use in asking, I said to myself. But I mulled

it over in my mind, and thought, just maybe Mother would listen.

“Do you think I could have a new pair of store-bought shoes this year?” I paused for a moment and then added, “Just once I’d like to have a pair that someone else hadn’t worn first. And not boy’s shoes.”

Mostly, my shoes came in the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie in Regina

How I longed for a pair of girl’s shoes. Mother didn’t even answer, and I wondered if she heard me, so I asked again if she thought there

might be enough money to buy me a pair of shoes. “They don’t have to be fancy...as long as they are girl’s shoes,” I said again, barely whispering.

United Way to host inaugural Mix & Mingle event in Smiths Falls Sept. 21 United Way Lanark County is pleased to announce its partnership with Tweed Inc. in hosting the inaugural Mix & Mingle Fall Social in Smiths Falls.

The networking event, held on Thursday, Sept. 21, will take place in Tweed’s lobby at 1 Hershey Drive between 5:30 and 8:30 p.m.

Mix & Mingles bring together young business professionals, entrepreneurs and Lanark County’s best and brightest. This event gives Lanark County and Smiths Falls attendees a chance to get to know Tweed and its employees, network with other young professionals, and how to get involved with their community.

The featured speaker for the evening is Jeff Kohl, Executive Director of YAK Youth Services, a United Way partner.

YAK Youth Services provides opportunities, support, resources, information, training and encouragement to youth in Perth and the surrounding areas.

In addition, youth will share their personal expe-

Again, Mother didn’t answer for the longest time.

“Mary, I know you’d like new shoes, but by the time we get the books the five of you need for school, and the supplies I need at home, there will be no money left. I even had to go into the sugar bowl to take out some of my egg money today.” She was almost whispering, and I could hardly hear her. Her voice sounded so far away.

a fundraising perspective, we appear to be doing well. As the months have gone by, however, I have realized my idea of “success” has changed. Yes, it still takes money. But it is so much more than that.

Will more people with Parkinson’s come forward to join support and exercise programs and start to believe that they will have more control over their future health? I have heard far too many stories of people, (predominately

riences on using YAK programming.

Mix & Mingle attendees will learn about the importance of this program in our community and other innovative opportunities to prevent and reduce youth homelessness in Lanark County.

“At Tweed, we believe strongly in supporting our community and allowing young people in our community to get to know Tweed and our desire to drive change in an innovative industry,” commented Jordan Sinclair, director of communications with Tweed.

“Hosting this Mix & Mingle event gives us an opportunity to engage with the community to understand the real issues facing youth in Lanark County and Smiths Falls, and how we can all work together to find solutions.”

“Tweed has been a strong partner over the last few years, starting with holding their first Day of Caring in May 2015, and have since held another four this spring and summer, where their employees vol-

unteered to assist our partners on multiple projects,” said Fraser Scantlebury, regional director of United Way Lanark County. “We are beyond grateful to work with the amazing staff and leadership of Tweed who see the value of investing in their community, and would like to thank them for sponsoring and hosting our very first Mix & Mingle event.”

“We want to empower our young people to collaborate and drive change,” continued Scantlebury.

“These types of events and initiatives, allow young people to learn about the needs in their community, volunteer their time, and put their dollars to work where they will have the greatest impact,” he went on to add.

The event is catered by Perth’s very own Stone Cellar restaurant, home of chef Nick Valliquette, Chopped Canada champion.

Appetizers will be included with admission, and refreshments will be available for purchase. Attendees must be 19 years of age or older.

shoes again and the night before the first day of school, I saw Mother try to shine the ugly brogues. She was using goose grease and a piece of flannelette, and I saw her rubbing the shoes as if she hated them as much as I did. She took out the laces, and put in a brand new pair she got at Briscoe’s General Store on the way home from Renfrew. “Put them on my bill please,” she said. She didn’t have the nine cents to pay for them.

When I went to bed, the

brogues were sitting beside the chair with the school clothes I would be wearing.

My pillow was still damp when I woke up the next morning.

I was never more aware of what it meant to be a child of the Depression.

men) who, I believe, are depressed (a result of changing brain chemistry due to PD).

They may see a doctor, and even take Parkinson’s medication but they have basically given up, believing that there is little they can do that will make a difference. I want to get the message out that they can continue to live healthy and active lives. But I hesitate because I know that we do not have enough support and exercise programs that are appropriate and helpful for them. And finally, can we

get access to a specialist in or near our own communities without having to travel great distances to get the help we need?

Right now, in Canada, 25 people a day are being diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. Within 15 years, that number will double to 50. Are we ready? The “success” of the SuperWalk will help determine that. Hope you will be part of that conversation.

Enjoy Spielberg science fiction classic on big screen OPEN HOUSE Weekend MOVIE: Close Encounters of the Third Kind (40th Anniversary) STARRING: Richard Dreyfuss, François Truffaut, Teri Garr and Melinda Dillon DIRECTOR: Steven Spielberg RATING: PG These last two weeks at the movies have been pretty quiet. I'd say if you're planning on going to the movies go see Wonder Woman again. On the other hand if you're looking for something special might I recommend Close Encounters of the Third Kind. It's the 40th anniversary, and if you haven't see it in a while, or haven't had the chance to see it on the big screen, or haven't seen it at all you're in for a treat.

All over the world there have been mysterious happenings. Long missing planes appearing in the Sonoran Desert. A missing tanker ship is found in the Gobi Desert. In India they chant a tune they heard coming from the sky.

UFO's are being sighted all over, and at each scene Claude Lacombe (Francois Truffant) is there trying to put the pieces together.

In Muncie, Indiana Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss) has his own encounter. During a blackout affecting

My Take

MARK HASKINS

his whole town he sees things he can't explain, and it changes him forever. He becomes obsessed with trying to make sense of it. He loses his job, and his wife Ronnie (Teri Garr) takes their kids and leaves him.

Just outside Munice Jillian (Melinda Dillon) has her own encounter. UFOs attempt to get into her home trying to take her son Barry (Cary Guffey). She desperately tries to keep him safe, but Barry crawls out the doggie door and is taken.

Both Roy and Jillian have visions of a place. It almost drives Roy mad until he discovers his vision is of Devil's Peak.

He goes there, drawn to it, as does Jillian. Lacombe and the military are already there preparing for something.

Together Roy and Jillian are determined to be there for what happens next.

When it was first released in 1977 Close Encounters was ground breaking. Forty years later and it's still just as moving, just as powerful, and just as mesmerizing. It's a showcase for Spielberg as a storyteller. His ability to craft the perfect visual for each shot. The way he tells Lacombe's story and how events effect to world. The way he makes it personal with Roy's struggle to understand, and how he beautifully brings both together.

Spielberg also allows his cast to do what they do best. These are some of the most honest and real performances in film. You can't help but empathize with the frustration, pain and anguish of Garr's character. When Barry is taken Melinda Dillon's performance breaks your heart. Francois Truffaut gives Lacombe not only his intelligence, but also his sensitivity and sense of wonder. Then there's Richard Dreyfuss. He's our everyman. He's the one who makes this story real, and Dreyfuss is brilliant.

I remember watching Close Encounters when I was a kid in the family recroom and loving it. Getting to see it on the big screen was a real treat.

Volunteer hospice visitors needed in Lanark County Volunteer Hospice Visitors are needed in Perth, Lanark, Carleton Place, Smiths Falls and surrounding areas to support people living with a life-limiting illness through to end-oflife care.

Volunteers provide confidential and non-judgmental support, often in the form of a weekly visit up to four hours in length.

If you are a sensitive and caring person with some time to spare, come out and join a compassionate team of volunteers!

Testimonials Julie says, “As a hospice volunteer I have been honoured to share the most intimate experiences of dying that have humbly altered how I interact with others and the world around me.

Yes, indeed there is heartache when you feel the loss after accompanying someone through their final days of life but it can never surpass the joys and the gifts that endure long after.”

Volunteer hospice visitors with Community Home Support - Lanark County are currently needed in the areas of Perth, Lanark, Carleton Place and Smiths Falls to support those living with life-limiting illnesses and end-of-life care.

File photo

Kathy says, “Why I became a volunteer is because I lived too far from my mom to go visit her when she could have used a visit. I got to thinking maybe someone could use a visit with a family that is too far away to visit them. I still volunteer and look forward to the days I visit someone, whether it is so their caregiver can get out for a few minutes or because

they live alone and just need to know someone is going to visit or call. I could not buy the joy it gives me playing cards with someone or sitting at a bedside of someone sick. It makes me realize I have made this world a better place for someone today even for just a few moments.”

Trish says, “As a volunteer, I've enjoyed wonderful visits and conversa-

tions with clients. Sometimes chitchat is the order of the day - a distraction from their disease. Being there as a non-family member has also lead to the sharing of worries and concerns.

It is an honour to be there in those times for the client. It hurts to say goodbye. I've come to care deeply about those folks I've visited, but I know I've made a difference, albeit

sometimes a small one, during a difficult time. That's good enough for me.”

Shirley says, “The volunteering is very rewarding, meeting great people in need of support and loving kindness.”

Donna adds, "You could be a critical link between comfort and sanity.

You could be the difference between feelings of rejection or belonging.

You could be the one who keeps the glue from dissolving. And it's all because you are there. How could you not offer your time and your smile?

Do it. You won't be sorry you did."

One of the benefits of being a Hospice Volunteer is free Hospice Palliative Care Training. There is an online training program that can be accessed immediately. Another training option is The Core Fundamentals of Hospice Palliative Care training course.

I have long been an advocate of teaching more Canadian history in our schools, especially with relation to our country’s important role in two world wars. I have deplored the fact that, at the secondary school level, history has become an optional subject in so many jurisdictions.

It means many of our young people learn very little about the important history of their own country.

I’m not sure who coined the term?

But whoever first asked “if you don’t know where you’ve come from, how can you know where you’re going” said a mouthful in my opinion!

We live in an era of political correctness, something I find annoying on occasion. But I have come to accept it as a fact of life in the 21st Century.

However, another issue that is raising its head far too often in my opinion is “revisionist history.”

There are some among us who feel the most distasteful parts of history, in Canada and around the world, should be altered or even removed entirely.

History is recorded and available to us so that we can learn from the accomplishments of the past and, hopefully, not repeat the mistakes (some of which are considerable) that have occurred throughout world history. By revising history it is possible to distort the true record and make certain events appear more or less favourable, or worse perhaps, cast them in a particularly bad light.

A recent proposal in Ontario has elements of both political correctness and revisionist history tied to it.

The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario is proposing that the name of Canada’s first Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, should be stripped from several elementary schools which are currently named after one of the nation’s founding fathers. Macdonald was arguably the most prominent person connected to Canadian Confederation and his political career spanned nearly half a century.

At its recent conference the elementary teachers’ federation passed a motion which says a school renaming process should be considered “in recognition of his (Macdonald’s) central role as the architect of genocide against Indigenous people.”

There’s no question that the Scotland-born Macdonald held views on Canada’s Indigenous population that are downright disgusting by today’s standards. He called Indigenous people “savages.”

Macdonald had no more respect for the Chinese who he wanted out of Canada because he said they took white jobs and would create a “mongrel race” in British Columbia and threaten the “Aryan” character of the nation.

It is also undeniable that our first PM is among those responsible for the Indian Act and the truly deplor-

able residential school system which is currently a huge topic in this country. There are other skeletons in his closet too.

Pivotal role But there’s no question it was Macdonald who played the pivotal role in the making of our country.

He engineered a series of compromises which brought together the former colonies of Canada. Without his political skill it is arguable that there would be no Canada.

Macdonald also played a major role in the planning of the Canadian Pacific Railway which brought western Canada into the national fold.

If it weren’t for the railway, which effectively linked east and west, it is likely the Prairie provinces and British Columbia would have become part of the United States.

I could go on and on with his accomplishments because they are many.

However I want to offer my opinion on the school renaming proposal. I think it is completely wrongheaded and for all of the reasons I have outlined above. Macdonald’s name, his accomplishments and his significant mistakes are important, if sometimes unpalatable, chapters in Canadian history. We need to teach that history, along with so much more from Canada’s past so we learn from it. Hiding inconvenient truths is not the way to educate ourselves or our children.

There have been many points made by columnists and political commentators in the wake of the teachers’ union proposal relative to Macdonald. Chief among them is this. If we are going to remove the name of our first Prime Minister from schools (there are nine named specifically for him in Ontario) then

where do we stop? Macdonald certainly isn’t the only leading figure in Canadian or world history with skeletons in their closet.

I read an excellent, related piece in the Ottawa Citizen outlining what, by today’s standards in particular, are the questionable attitudes and the clearly documented misdeeds of a long list of Canadian and international figures. Among them are Queen Victoria, Winston Churchill, explorers Samuel de Champlain and Jacques Cartier, Mohawk chief Joseph Brant and Métis leader Louis Reil who, by the way, is related to me on my father’s side.

The writer’s list also contained several past Canadian politicians including Prime Minister’s Sir Wilfred Laurier, Lester Pearson and John Diefenbaker. Not even the ‘Famous Five’ escape scrutiny for what the writer notes were questionable points of view.

All of the above have buildings, bridges, lakes, rivers and even airports named after them. Their statues are prominent in Ottawa and other Canadian communities.

Making comparisons is always a bit of a minefield of course. But to me the point is that judging people from past centuries by today’s standards is often complete folly.

Prominent politicians past and present, including Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne and former Conservative cabinet minister John Baird, were quick to say they believe Macdonald’s name should not be removed from schools or any other places.

Next week I intend to examine a similar situation which is currently playing itself out south of the border.

In closing I will revisit my main point. History is an important part of our past, something that should be taught to present and future generations so that we can all learn from it. Rewriting history or worse yet altering it to meet current standards is simply unacceptable!

Walk Your Paws for LAWS fast approaching Sept. 24 in Smiths Falls After months of TLC at LAWS, Robin has opened his heart to the staff and volunteers. He now comes to meet visitors to his run, rubs around their legs, enjoys being petted and even being held for a bit of a cuddle. Come and see the new and improved Robin.

He deserves a lovely home where he can enjoy the comforts of indoor life.

He is a fairly large, well-muscled lad about two-years-old with beautiful silky grey and white fur.

She does need a fenced in back yard because she will try to chase any little critter she sees. Holly is good with other larger dogs but should not be placed with smaller dogs.

BEING A GRANDPARENT IS SUCH A GIFT. THROUGH THEIR FAMILY FOUNDATION, DAVE AND ANN TRICK ARE BRINGING SOME MAGIC TO THE LIVES OF CHILDREN AT CHEO. Dave and Ann Trick are so proud of their nine grandchildren. Over the years, many of the Trick’s grandchildren have visited CHEO for everything from broken bones to tests and treatment for various health issues. Dave and Ann are grateful that today, they all are healthy!

But that wasn’t always the case.

GRANDPARENTS DAY IS SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2017.

A gift to CHEO’s Grandparents Program, either as a grandparent or to honour special grandparents, will transform your gratitude into specialized care for all families who need CHEO.

In 2011, their youngest granddaughter Emily suffered a stroke in-utero. She spent two weeks in CHEO’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Thanks to their interventions, and continued care through CHEO

and OCTC, Emily is thriving. For the Trick family, supporting CHEO was an easy choice.

Dave and Ann established their foundation with one clear goal in mind: “We wanted to inspire philanthropy within our own family,” Dave explains.

“We are delighted to help provide an excellence in care that all grandchildren deserve,” says Ann.

Please support the Grandparents Program

Dust has yet to settle as new season rolls into Perth's Full Circle Theatre The dust hasn’t yet settled from last season at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre, but the new one is already rolling. It’s BarnDoor Productions’ (BDP) 23rd season — and their seventh at Full Circle Theatre — and it will offer variety, fun and drama.

Already in rehearsal is BarnDoor’s season opening comedy. A Perfect Likeness is based on a “what if” that might have been. It’s known that Charles Dodgson (better known as Lewis Carroll, author of Alice In Wonderland) once obtained Charles Dickens’ home address from Dickens’ publisher. Playwright Daniel Rover Singer has put together a speculation of what might have happened had those two diametrically opposed personalities come together.

It features David Bird, one of BarnDoor’s stalwart performers from their very first production; and Connor Submitted photo Williamson, a young man who has been part of a number of BDP shows already and has also performed with the BarnDoor Productions’ 22nd season ranged from classics like Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol (seen above) to the latest Classic Theatre Festival for two seasons. from Broadway to all-original shows. Their 23rd season aims to kick it up a notch or two with fun, laughs and drama.

With the idea that Dodgson invites Dickens to his home to sit for a photograph (Dodgson was an avid shutterbug), Singer has created “a perfect likeness” of these two literary giants that is comic, surprising, intense and very entertaining. The show runs from Oct. 13 to Oct. 22.

Coming back to Sept. 11, BarnDoor is holding open auditions for two shows at once: their December offering is a fairy story, Cinderella, while their February 2018 show will be a backstage murder-mystery comedy called Panto Can Be Murder.

Why are these two shows being auditioned together? with every used vehicle purchase!* Because each shows the flip side of the other. Cinderella is straightforward (but all-original) English panto-style children’s entertainment — with one or two surprises and a lot of laughter. Panto Can Be Murder is all about what was happening behind the set of the Christmas show.

Texting and driving is an ever-increasing problem among young drivers

BY CHRISTINE PEETS

This is another in a series of articles by Christine Peets, the writer in residence for the Upper Canada District School Board Parent Involvement Committee.

According to the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), Ontario has some of the stiffest penalties in Canada for drivers who choose to use their hand-held cellphones or other mobile devices or engage in other activity that distracts them while driving. And yet, texting and driving is an increasing problem. Are the tough penalties a deterrent?

Dr. Christine Wickens, an inhouse expert on distracted driving at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) doesn't seem to think so. An article published on the CAMH website states: "Dr. Wickens believes that despite all the public education about the dangers of distracted driving, and the recent introduction of stricter new laws, many Ontarians are still not getting the message."

The article quotes Wickens: “When we talk about the history of drinking and driving, decades ago that was still considered socially acceptable to a point. There certainly wasn’t the same kind of social disapproval there is today.

But has that translated yet to texting and driving? No I don’t think so. One group we really worry about are younger drivers who report much higher use of cell-

phones for texting purposes and social media. Certainly among younger drivers, we’re not getting to that level of social disapproval for this kind of behaviour.”

Carleton Place resident Johanna Button has a different take on the social disapproval of texting and driving among young drivers. She frequently drives from Carleton Place to Ottawa, where she attends Carleton University.

She said that among her friends, no one uses their phone while they are driving, and they all watch out for each other to not be texting behind the wheel.

"I think there is more awareness about this among my friends, and if your friends heard that you got a $300 fine for texting and driving, they'd pay attention," Button said. "We also notice the bumper stickers that people have on their cars to Stop Texting, and if more people see those, then they are going to pay attention to that."

Texting and driving, or other forms of distracted driving, which include reading from a screen, watching a video, eating or drinking, personal grooming, adjusting music selections or having music playing too loudly, or turning to talk to someone in the back seat, are all subject to fines, demerit points, licence suspensions, and possible jail terms, depending on the conviction. Yet, drivers are constantly exhibiting these risky behaviours.

Novice drivers who are still under the Graduated Licensing

System are subject to escalating sanctions that could lead to them being removed from that system, meaning that they will not become fully licensed drivers. Cst. Greg Streng, a Community Service Officer (CSO) with Lanark County OPP welcomes the chance to discuss these issues with the public.

"CSOs are often invited into schools or community centres to present this information about distracted driving, especially texting and driving, and welcome opportunities to engage with the public," Streng said.

In the past five years, there have been a number of assemblies at high schools in the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB).

In March 2012 students at North Dundas District High School were given orange thumb rings that said "Texting kills" after signing pledge strips not to text and drive. The strips were formed into a "chain of life" that was hung in the school cafeteria. There were also presentations done by Ontario Students Against Impaired Driving (OSAID). Distracted driving is considered by many to be as dangerous, if not more dangerous than driving while impaired under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

A similar talk was given in April 2012 at Athens District High School by Constable Luc Poirier, an Accident Reconstruction specialist with the OPP. He explained the process used to determine causes of accidents, and he focused on the dangers of texting

and driving. At the time Poirier was also the parent of an OSAID member, which made the presentation a little more relevant for the students.

Button remembers some of those presentations being done at her high school, but said that she thinks more teens and young adults pay more attention to Twitter, so messages on social media are more likely to have an impact.

"If kids see those messages on Twitter, they may pay attention, and share them, so that more people get the message about how dangerous it is to text and drive," she said. "But it still goes on, although there are some new messages coming out on Snapchat, because so many people are snapping and driving. So there is a Snapchat app that has a way of knowing how fast you are going, but it can't tell whether you are the passenger or driver. Still, you get a message that says, ‘Don't Snap and Drive.’"

Johanna's father Ross thinks that it is very progressive for a media site to take on that social responsibility. He also thinks that parents have to take responsibility and be good role models for their kids when it comes to distracted driving.

"How are parents using their phones?" he asked. "Are they putting away the phone when they're driving? Are they sending messages to their kids when they know the kids might be driving? If you know someone is driving, then

don't send that text. We all need to be good citizens about this."

Parents could also watch one of the many videos about texting and driving like this one, http://tinyurl. com/y8peaw3j, and then talk to their kids.

Johanna said that everyone just needs to ignore their phone when they are driving. Better still, she suggested, turn off the ringer so you don't even hear it. Then you won't be tempted to answer right away.

"Whether it's drinking and driving, or texting and driving, it's all dangerous driving," Ross said.

"We all have a responsibility to make sure we are paying attention to our driving."

"Yeah, you don't want to have an accident over a stupid text," Johanna added.

Horejda commands Classic Theatre stage in gripping mystery thriller A performer with frequent film and television appearances on shows such as The Handmaid’s Tale, Nikita, Beauty and the Beast, and The Fourth Plague has been commanding the Classic Theatre Festival stage as a woman fighting for her very survival in the mystery thriller I’ll Be Back Before Midnight, which plays until Sept. 10 at 54 Beckwith St. E. in Perth.

Born and raised in Saskatchewan – “they call it the land of living skies for good reason and believe me, it more than lives up to its name,” she says – Lauren Horejda plays the role of Jan, a woman who, recovering from a nervous breakdown, has been brought to a spooky old country farmhouse by her sometimes less than sensitive husband, Greg (Lindsay Robinson). What follows is much like a Hitchcock film, a combination of humour and horror in which the esteemed Capital Critics Circle says Horejda “delivers a fine multi-faceted characterization that balances fragility and determination.”

Horejda recalls her first performance was as an angel in a Christmas pageant, and while she cannot say exactly what drew her to acting, “I can say it always felt right where I was supposed to be.” After completing an honours undergraduate degree, she studied at some of the

Lauren Horejda’s character Jan ponders her next move as she struggles to survive in the critically acclaimed Classic Theatre Festival production of I’ll Be Back Before Midnight, which plays in Perth until Sept. 10 at 54 Beckwith St. E. Tickets at classictheatre.ca or 1-877-2831283.

world’s leading theatrical training academies, including the UK’s Bristol Old Vic and Guildhall School of Music and Drama.

Among some of her favourite roles along the way have been playing Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler (Horejda is a major Ibsen fan) and Mercutio

in The Deliverance of Romeo and Juliet. She’s also picked up best acting nominations two years in a row from My Entertainment World for her performances in Hamlet and The Changeling.

Playing Jan in I’ll Be Back before Midnight is a demanding role, as she

is onstage for almost the whole show in an experience that many audience members describe as akin to a rollercoaster ride, providing thrills followed by anticipation and constant building of tension. Horejda says the role actually requires “decompression over preparation once the lights

are dark and the audience has gone home. Jan is such a vessel of love and hope within the play. She wants nothing but the best and to take care of those she cares about, but she is put through so much within the play.

So, it's mostly checking in with myself and shedding the after-effects of Jan and everything that she has to go through that needs the most attention – shaking it off.”

Horejda is fond of Jan’s “unshakable faith in those that she loves. It's incredibly admirable, especially living in a world where people write each other off so frequently over so little.”

The Toronto-based actor says she’s loved her time in Perth this summer. “It’s been a beautiful place to come and relax and work on this fabulous play with a lovely and warm cast, a brilliant production team, and a wonderfully talented, thoughtful and insightful director. It's been such fantastic experience for me to ride this ride with these beautiful souls.”

Those wishing to catch the final performances of I’ll Be Back before Midnight (playing Tuesday to Sunday at 2 p.m., with 8 p.m. shows Wednesday and Saturday at 8 p.m.) can get tickets at 1-877-283-1283 or classictheatre.ca.

OPP reveal overwhelming response to Nation River Lady social media campaign In early August the OPP launched a successful social media campaign in an effort to reinvigorate a homicide investigation that has been ongoing since 1975.

The remains of a female, which came to be known as Nation River Lady, were discovered in the Nation River by a local farmer, south of the Town of Casselman on May 3, 1975. OPP investigators wanted to reintroduce this case to the public in an effort to identify her and identify the person(s) responsible for her death.

Since the media launch on the morning of Aug. 1, the OPP has received and is following up on more than 18 new tips so far from the public. The total number of impressions or times the content was displayed on Facebook in English was 28,016 and French was 65,374. Videos posted to the OPP's Facebook account in both languages received a total of 21,098 views. Twitter was equally successful with the

content being viewed in English 32,048 times and French 7,274. As well, many news agencies broadcasted the information.

With advances in technology and the OPP forensic artist, the social media campaign contained numerous photographs of the items located on or with the Nation River Lady at the time of discovery and released a video of the three-dimensional clay facial reconstruction of Nation River Lady's head and face.

Under the direction of case manager Det. Insp. Dan Nadeau, of the Criminal Investigation Branch and Missing Persons and Unidentified Bodies Unit (MPUB), police continue to followup on all information provided and thank everyone who has called or provided information via email. Anyone with new information on the case can call the dedicated missing persons hotline toll-free at 1-877-9346363 (1-877-9-FINDME) in Canada only; or 1-705-330-

The OPP are following up on more than 18 tips they have received since the Aug. 1 launch of a social media campaign on the Nation River lady, an unidentified female found dead in 1975. Left, the 3-D facial reconstruction completed on the woman.

Background Nation River Lady is described as being a Caucasian woman, age 25-50 years old, between five-foot-two and five-foot-eight in height, average build, approximately 100 pounds with brown hair that was dyed a reddish blond.

Her body was wrapped with two pieces of green cloth, two towels — one depicting 4144 from outside Canada.

September starting to heat up at the Station Theatre in Smiths Falls Whew! Fort Hemlock is over; it was quite a show – a world premiere to boot! The few days downtime this last week saw everyone at The Station Theatre catch their breath…and now it’s on to the October Who Dunit? comedy-mystery directed by Katharine Coleman.

This story first ran in Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine, and later was a hit on Alfred Hitchcock Presents. It asks the question – what happens when a famous mystery writer is murdered, goes to heaven and discovers that not even St. Michael knows who murdered him?

There’s only one answer: Saint Michael sends him back to earth to relive the past twenty-four hours of his life

in order to solve the murder before it is committed. Unfortunately for him, the writer discovers everybody he knows has a good reason to kill him!

The plot thickens as he asks himself if he’s just going to let it happen a second time?

Or will he take on both the murderer and the Archangel Michael…

Who Dunit? runs Oct. 1322. Tickets go on sale Sept. 5.

In mid-September, movie nights return with a one-two John Wayne Western weekend of classics. On Sept. 15, watch The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, and Sept. 16, True Grit. Shows start at 7 p.m.

Even if you’ve seen them, it’s time to see them again.

Less than two weeks later, Sept. 28, come back to the

theatre for a romantic-comedy Their Finest, a Film Night International movie at 7 p.m.

And at the end of the month, sit down for an evening of music by Georgette Fry and her back-up band, the next performance in the Station’s Music Series. Tickets are on sale now.

Tickets are available at Special Greetings, smithsfallstheatre.com (PayPal/Visa/ MasterCard), by phone at 613-283-0300 (Visa/MasterCard), at the door, if available, a half-hour before performance (cash only). Find the theatre at 53 Victoria Avenue, Smiths Falls. Hours for the Station Theatre are Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

The Tomorrow Box: An uplifting and illuminating family comedy-drama Where do you go when your beloved farm and matrimonial home of 40 years is sold out from under you and without your consent? This is one of many intriguing questions under consideration in The Tomorrow Box, a humorous and heartfelt look at the nature of family and the individual, by award-winning Canadian playwright Anne Chislett. Carolee Mason, director of Studio Theatre Perth’s upcoming play, invites theatre-goers to discover what happens when the history and traditions ingrained in the very fibre of a family property are threatened by changing hands, changing times and changing values.

Many Perth area residents will relate to the issue as it pertains to a family cottage. In The Tomorrow Box, set in 197980, the property in question is a farm that has been passed down through generations of the Cooper family for over 100 years. The play tells the poignant and humorous story of a farmer’s wife as she discovers her true value. It touches on themes of feminism, the rural urban divide and the search for self-worth.

Jack (Rob Glas) and Mau-

Maureen Cooper (C.Lee Bates) shows off the treasures she has discovered in a farm auction “Tomorrow Box”. Her city-raised daughter-in-law Alice, right (Courtney Mason) and Alice’s sister Lisa, left (Tracy Noonan) are unimpressed. The Tomorrow Box is an upcoming Studio Theatre production that will premiere Sept. 28. reen Cooper (C. Lee Bates), now in their sixties, are the current owners and stewards of the farm. Their eldest son, Joe (Mitch Waugh), has given up his career as a university professor to return to his roots in rural Ontario and carry on in the family tradition. He has recently married city gal, Alice (Courtney Mason), who is about to become a lawyer and is also following in family footsteps — those of her lawyer mother and older sister, Lisa

(Tracy Noonan). Radical feminist lawyer Lisa’s visit to Joe and Alice’s temporary quarters in a trailer — while they await possession of Jack and Maureen’s farm — upsets the apple cart when the sisters discover that Maureen is the only member of the family unaware of the sale of her home to Joe and Alice.

Herein lies the dramatic tension of this compelling, thought-provoking and thoroughly engaging play that ex-

amines traditions, gender roles and the larger narrative of family members under siege as each struggles with the part they play in a deeply moving, authentic — and frequently humorous — family conflict. Jack believes he has made the right plan, to retire and surprise his wife with a new opportunity for them to enjoy in their “old age.” After all, she’s trusted him with the decisions for 40 years.

What Jack hasn’t counted on is the heartbreaking and iron-

ic revelations of a woman he thinks he knows who, like so many others of the time, settled into gender roles that are no longer viable in the modern world. Jack’s miscalculation backfires, threatening his place in the world — as the head of a household, a community member, a farmer and as a man. For Maureen, her whole way of life is in danger of disintegrating.

Joe is torn between allegiance to both parents and to his new wife who is stunned and angered by the turn of events. Alice shares her angst with Lisa, as she struggles with her own conflict about this man she thought she knew and knows she loves. “I thought I was marrying a professor of agriculture,” she laments, “not a farmer.” For her part, Lisa’s interest is in the feminist angle and legalities, wanting to ensure that Maureen doesn’t get “victimized.”

Carolee Mason hopes that the complexity of the conflict is both unsettling and engaging for the audience. “If people leave the theatre talking about the play and having their assumptions altered by what they’ve seen and heard, I will be gratified. For Perth and

DEATH NOTICE

STEPHEN KEITH GORDON MAXWELL June 20, 1955 - August 26, 2017 Stephen was born in Montreal, Canada first born child of Beverley and Shirley Maxwell.

Stephen and his sister Lynn were army brats and moving around a lot as children made the family very close. He had wonderful memories of playing with his cousins on the farm.

He had a lifelong love of learning, a degree in Biology from Queens University, and was definitely someone you wanted on your team for trivial pursuit. He loved to read and shared his extensive library with family, friends, and friends of friends. In 2014 he read 151 books.

Stephen loved genealogy and traced his family tree back to the 17th century. He was a computer nerd before it became popular. He was our geek squad. He loved music and movies and had extensive collections of both.

He enjoyed birding, nature, and loved animals.

There was never a shortage of cats and dogs in his home. Stephen worked for The Ministry of Natural Resources, DuPont and the City of Ottawa. He had licenses for both Stationary Engineering and Water Treatment Processing.

He loved cooking foods from around the world and travelling. Being a proud Scotsman, he loved a good single malt. Stephen met his wife Penny Hoy in 1990 and they married in 1992. They had two beautiful children Selena, in 1995, and Connor, in 1997. They lived in the country in Oxford Mills. Stephen spread love and kindness where ever he went. There was no personal space where Stephen was concerned. If you were one of his peeps, you were getting a big hug and a kiss. He was most happy surrounded by family and friends.

The bond of love Stephen had with his mom, dad and sister was so strong, when I (Penny) first met Stephen I was worried where I would fit in, but I need not worry, I was quickly taken into the clan as one of their own. In the last year he had much time to reflect on his life, he was so happy to have found love and his children were his pride and joy, his greatest achievements, he often said he never thought he would have so much love in his life. The last year has been a difficult one. Stephen was diagnosed just over a year ago with colon cancer, a brave blue warrior, he fought long and he fought hard. If everyone reading this can convince 10 people to get a colonoscopy at 50 and they convince another 10 people and so on then maybe just maybe we can bring this nasty disease to its knees. To our friends and family who rallied around us throughout this difficult year, your presence, love, soups, curries, texts, and phone calls made those days a little brighter. He looked forward to them. All the Facebook comments after each chemo from family and friends gave him the strength to carry on. One of Stephen’s last reflections caught me by surprise, “Why are we always waiting for the weekend? Why are we always waiting for a vacation?” I asked him if he had a dream he said no. Those words may mean something different to everyone, but to me it means live now.

IN MEMORIAM

IN MEMORIAM

IN MEMORIAM

CRAIG (Somerville) - In loving memory of our dear Mom, Grandma and Great Grandma Mary Elizabeth Sept. 5, 2011.

She never looked for praises, She was never one to boast.

She just went on quietly working, For the ones she loved the most.

Her dreams were seldom spoken, Her wants were very few.

And most of the time her worries went unspoken too.

She was there - a firm foundation, Through all our storms of life, A sturdy hand to hold onto.

In times of stress and strife.

Forever in our hearts Love Connie, Cynthia, Candace and families

FICKO, Jean - In loving memory of a dear mom, who passed away September 11, 1997 Twenty years have come and gone, And still the pain of losing you lingers on.

We do not need a special day, To bring you to our mind.

For the days we do not think of you, Are very hard to find.

Our hearts still ache with sadness, And silent tears still flow.

For what it meant to lose you, No one will ever know.

Forever loved Shirley and Art

DOBSON, Archie; September 3, 1990 In loving memory of a Husband, Father, Grandfather; If we could visit heaven, Even for a day, Maybe for a moment, The pain would go away.

We’d put our arms around you, And whisper words so true, That living life without you, Is the hardest thing to do.

No matter how we spend our days, No matter what we do, No morning dawns or evening falls, When we don’t think of you.

Forever and always – Fran, Tammy, Shannon & Douglas

MOORE, Lorna - In loving memory of a dear sister who passed away Sept. 7, 2009.

Although we smile and make no fuss, No one misses you more than us, And when old times we often recall, It’s then we miss you most of all.

We think about you always, We talk about you still, You have never been forgotten, And you never will.

We hold you close within our hearts, And there you will remain, To walk and guide us through our lives, Until we meet again.

Always loved, never forgotten Sister Joyce Laming and Ron Brother Preston Laming and Kay

WEBB – In loving memory of Bill Webb who passed away two years ago on September 3rd, 2015.

It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone.

A part of us went with you, The day God took you home.

If tears could build a stairway, And heartaches make a lane, We’d walk our way to heaven And bring you back again.

In life we loved you dearly, In death, we love you still.

In our hearts you hold a place, No one could ever fill.

Deeply loved and missed by loving Wife Betty, Daughter Debbie, Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren.

Diabetes won’t stop these kids from summer camp memories

BY DESMOND DEVOY

keeping it local and canadian for over 40 years

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Look on one side of the cafeteria, then the other, at Camp Opemikon.

Notice a difference?

No. Because there is none. On the surface. Which is the point.

“You would not notice anyone eating anything different,” said Christina Bonner, manager (Ontario) for DCamps with Diabetes Canada, during an interview on Tuesday, Aug. 1.

But there is still one thing dividing the kids on one side of the cafeteria from the other. On one side, Scouts are having dinner. On the other side, are the campers with diabetes.

This past summer, Scouts Canada once again shared their facility on the shores of Christie Lake, near Maberly, Tay Valley Township, with Camp Banting, run by Diabetes Canada.

The camp has attracted about 70 kids this past summer who are dealing with diabetes. There are doctors on site, as well as nurses and dieticians.

“It’s very much run like a hospital,” said Bonner. “Diabetes is 24/7. We test kids at night.” It is necessary, “especially here, where they are super active,” she said, with kids being tested at 11 p.m., 1 and 3 a.m.

But even with disrupted sleep, there’s no stopping the fun.

“We have a high return (rate),” with many campers returning, and later on, coming back as counsellors.

Part of what keeps them coming back is that they are told “you can do anything,” which is a welcome change from their regular, day-to-day lives.

“So much of these kids lives (they) are told that they can’t do this, can’t eat

At the camp, “we really focus on eating well,” Bonner said, on eating “what you and I (without diabetes) should be eating. We have to carb count everything.”

The activities are almost identical to a regular camp – canoeing, swimming, archery, rock climbing, and high ropes. The only catch, for example, is logistics. Campers are told, before ascending to the treetops in

the high ropes, to keep their insulin pumps on the ground, lest the chords get caught in the ropes. “‘Oh, where do I put my pump?’” a camper will ask, said Bonner. “Those are the nuances.”

There are many integrated programs run with the Scouts on site, and “where there is an opportunity to integrate, we do,” she said. Having seen the campers herself, Bonner said she is amazed at “how inspirational these

children are. I draw inspiration from that,” since they “live their life in a way I never had to.”

The camp is not free, but there is about $250,000 in subsidies available for kids across Canada. There is also a tiered fee structure, for “what they (the family) can best pay.”

She added that “the cost of living with diabetes is astronomical,” and that “insulin isn’t free.” Also, insulin pumps can cost as much as $6,000.

Council members head to Tay Canal shores for rocky ramp 'walk-around'

BY DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Perth town council members will be making a field trip to the shores of the Tay Canal on Tuesday, Sept. 5, to make sure they get the second phase of the rocky ramp project right.

Town staffers and councillors will meet with area residents that day, starting at 4 p.m. at the small rocky ramp, on the Thom Street side, followed by a 5 p.m. meeting near the second, larger rocky ramp site on the Harvey Street side.

Finally, following this excursion, there will be a special council meeting back in the council chambers at 6 p.m.

The three-part meeting decision came after more than an hour of debate at the regular council meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 29, which heard not only from the company hoping to work on the second phase, but town staff, councillors and area residents.

It also meant that the motion to hire Matrix Solutions Inc. to act as the project managers, to the tune of a budget deviation of $23,962, was deferred until the Sept. 5 meeting. The first stage of work on the second rocky ramp was due to start on Sept. 12.

“I’m a very visual person,” explained Mayor John Fenik in proposing the site visits. “We need to have a walk-around.”

Steve Braun, senior water resources manager with Matrix Solutions Inc., who was joined by his co-presenter, Matthew McCombs, a water resources engineer, presented their vision of what the second, larger, rocky ramp would look like.

Braun said they hope an

The current Haggart Island dam, at the end of Mill Street, as seen from the old swimming hole, downstream, on the evening of Tuesday, Aug. 29.

80/20 flow split “will be restored” between the two channels of the Tay, which go around Haggart Island, where Stewart Park is located -- though he admitted “it is difficult to do it perfectly for every flow event.”

But Braun added, “We are fully confident of the numbers,” although surveys will still be carried out in the fall of 2018.

As the main flow of the Tay reaches the end of Mill Street, there are “quite a bit of deposits” that have formed in a swampy area off to the side, near the Harvey Street bank, just before the current dam, said Braun.

He hoped to implement a plan to “ensure this area will remain free of organic material in the future,” he wrote in his overhead presentation.

The current deposition comes from “poor circulation and disconnectivity within the channel,” wrote Braun. (McCombs called the area a “dead zone.”)

He proposes the “removal of existing nutrient-rich material in this area” and using “native material fill” to ease the transition.

One feature of the new rocky ramp will involve “making the

channel skinnier” so that the “flow will be moving at a better pace,” Braun said.

But there have already been lessons learned from the first rocky ramp over by the Rainbow Bridge, with a desire to see “embedding the rocks more than they were,” said Braun. There will be a more gradual, terraced appearance to the second ramp than the first, with “walleye spawning material…(in) gravelly pools,” said Braun.

Council reply Coun. Judy Brown said there remained “concern about the look and the number of large boulders” at the first rocky ramp site. And Braun conceded that “esthetically, we understand” the concerns of local residents.

“It’s designed for maximum flow,” said Brown.

Fenik agreed with several residents that at the first rocky ramp “esthetically, it’s terrible. It looks like a moonscape,” he said.

When the water levels are high, the current rocky ramp does not look too bad, he said, but “when it’s not flowing, it does not look good...I’m nervous about the second rocky ramp going in,” Fe-

nik said.

However, he added that “we feel we have enough (wa“I think we should fix the ter) flow to naturalize the rocky ramp” in a way that is first one before the second one “low cost and fairly achievable.” goes in,” he said, adding that the For more on this story, visit “worst possible situation” would be for both ramps to look the InsideOttawaValley.com same.

Perth Courier Coun. Jim Boldt said that his “biggest disappointment” was that the artistic rendering did not match the reality on the ground.

“I was of the impression that we would have a babbling brook effect,” Boldt said.

Smiths Falls youth, Nick Nadeau awarded 2017 Water Guardian Bursary The Friends of the Tay Watershed have announced the recipient of their annual Water Guardian Bursary for 2017. On Aug. 19 in a ceremony at the Association’s Watershed Discovery Day, at Perth Farmers’ Market, the $1,000 Bursary was presented to Nick Nadeau, of Smiths Falls & District Collegiate Institute.

Nadeau was one of six exceptional applicants of this community, whose applications to the Bursary demonstrated a passion for, and dedication to, our environment.

The nomination committee was im-

pressed by his part-time work with Parks Canada on the Rideau Canal, and his volunteer work this spring assisting with additional duties related to watershed flooding: measuring flow discharge rates, assessing erosion/washout damage, and reading water levels in Bobs and Christie Lakes. His experience with the Tay watershed made him an outstanding candidate for the Water Guardian Bursary. Nadeau has been accepted at Trent University, where he will enter the Environmental Science and Resource Management program in the fall.

Every year, since 2011, the Friends of the Tay Watershed have extended an invitation to students at local high schools, and, recently, university students who attended a local high school, to submit applications for this bursary. Candidates wishing to apply should watch for notices from the association next February in local papers and high schools for application requirements.

The Water Guardian Bursary is made possible through the generosity of Graham Beck and the Little Stream Bakery.

Local youth choir set to launch in Perth in September

When Maura MacDonald first joined a youth choir in her Nova Scotia hometown, she knew she was part of something special.

For years, she built on her musical skills while connecting with a new group of youth outside of her regular school setting.

It was her place.

“I always felt at home when I went to choir practice,” says Maura. “It’s where I felt as though I truly figured out who I was, and had a great new group of friends who I connected with each week. I’m still tight with these same friends today.”

Now, 15 years later, Maura is going to help bring that same opportunity to the Perth area.

Working with The Music Circle’s owner, Taisha Lesser, Maura will act as the Omnes Youth Choir artistic director. Maura says they wanted to bring this idea to life for many reasons.

“We know there’s a lack of music education in many elementary schools, and local high schools don’t have choral programs, so we want to fill that void while making it financially accessible,” Maura explains. “We also know just how beneficial it is to a youth’s well-being.”

So, they’re launching the Omnes Youth Choir.

Set to begin at the end of Sep-

“We’re welcoming all levels, and that’s where collaboration and teamwork become such an amazing element to the choral experience,” says Maura. “I know how much it did for me, and

A new youth choir will be starting in Perth in September. tember and running out of St. Paul’s United Church in Perth every Monday, the Omnes — which is Latin for ‘all’ — Youth Choir will be open to youth from grades 2 to 12. They’ll be broken up into two groups: grades 2 to 4 and grades 5 to 12. Each week they’ll do a warm-up, teambuilding activities, full-group singing and some social time, too.

The first session begins Sept.

25, while the second session

launches Jan. 15. Each session will wrap up with a live concert for the community.

More than Music While The Music Circle staff offer private lessons to students in Perth, Carleton Place and Almonte — both in school at the Perth-based studio — Taisha says they wanted to bridge out to make the connection between music and community.

“This is more than music,” explains Taisha. “Omnes is going

we can’t wait to share this program with the community.”

In fact, a recent study from Oxford University revealed that singing in a choir can boost your mental health and outlined greater benefits than playing on a team sport or singing alone.

OPINION

Connected to your community

I shall not speak of this again?

I

have found myself saying “touch wood” a lot lately and, I am here to tell you, it doesn’t really work in terms of warding off bad luck. Or at least not every time.

(Also, buying lottery tickets isn’t always a good Plan A. But I digress.)

The whole “touch wood” – or “knock on wood” – thing has me thinking about superstition, which Oxford defines as “a widely held but irrational belief in supernatural influences, especially as leading to good or bad luck, or a practice based on such a belief.”

I like to think I am not prone to this, but my “touch wood” spate of late might indicate otherwise. I also look warily at black cats crossing streets, I’ve been known to throw salt over my left shoulder when I spill it and I have stared in absolute horror at the sight of a broken mirror.

As well, I avoid walking under ladders, but that’s mostly because I think that superstition can be explained by the fact most people don’t want something to drop on their heads from on high – such as paint. Or shingles.

Maybe there’s hope for me yet.

Multiple sources say the touch wood/knock on wood superstition has been around since before Christianity and is believed to be a way to avoid tempting fate after saying something favourable or lucky. That’s a British interpretation, and there are similar variations in other cultures.

These same sources point to a belief in pagan times that supernatural beings or deities lived in trees (and trees were worshipped), so knocking on wood was a way to thank them for good fortune or to stop them from taking it away. Other interpretations include a connection to the wooden Christian cross, as well as a children’s game.

Anyway, the reason I am thinking about this can be blamed on my new hearing aid, which I got about a week ago. I am going to write about that at some point, but right now it’s a work in progress. Besides, it could be bad luck to switch gears in a column. You never know.

When I mention I have a hearing aid, people usually ask why. I say I’ve lost a lot of hearing on one side and explain I have something called Meniere’s. They either say, “What’s that?” or tell me about someone they know who also has it, which invariably leads to a discussion about vertigo.

Past Deadline

STEPHANIE GRAY

Oh, vertigo.

It is surprising, and a little alarming, that so many people I’ve talked to have had experiences with vertigo. I don’t mean plain, old dizziness, either – I mean the kind of thing that makes the world spin crazily and then you walk like you’re drunk and, if you’re like me, end up spending quality time lying very still and quietly on the bathroom floor or somewhere more comfortable – with a bucket.

It. Is. No. Fun. For some people with Meniere’s (or who have vertigo for whatever other reason), it can be debilitating. Crystals in your ear get all out of whack and it takes some maneuvering and/ or medication and such to get things stabilized.

Here’s the touch wood part: I’ve been lucky in terms of the frequency and duration of episodes. Really, really lucky in comparison to many other poor souls.

I tell people this and I tap my head and say, “Touch wood!” if there is no actual wooden furniture or trees near me. And then I worry I will be struck by some sort of vertigo lightning and end up on the floor.

Sure enough, it happened on Sunday. Serves me right for talking about my good fortune so many times. Some little wood nymph somewhere must have gotten sick of it.

That was the first episode I’ve had since late January, when the OPP Detachment Commander, who had been doing a guest-speaking stint for my communications class in Police Foundations at the Perth Campus of Algonquin College, kindly escorted me out of the school. Vertigo crept up on me partway through class.

Afterwards he (all decked out in full uniform) helped me as I staggered along the sidewalk, and he made sure I didn’t fall down and that I got home OK. Wasn’t a lot of fun, but it makes for a good story! (“Drunk” teacher escorted from school.)

Call me superstitious, but I think I am going to avoid talking about how great my vertigo is from now on.

Welcome to Brookeville!

elcome to Brookeville. It was something her dad said two years ago during the Cambia Portland Classic when Brooke Henderson shot a whopping 21-under par in 2015 – when she was still an amateur – to win the tournament for the first time.

Dave Henderson (Brooke’s dad) was asked how his daughter managed to stay so low when driving to the green through the final round (and was able to stay out of the trees.)

“Welcome to Brookeville,” he said.

Fans of the Smiths Falls LPGA superstar have certainly gotten the grand tour of Brookeville as of late.

She’s heating up the links in just her second full year on the tour. Already, she cheekily referred to retirement in a recent interview.

What? You’re thinking of retiring?

She certainly stunned the gaggle of media present – that was during the CP Women’s Open in Ottawa at the end of August.

She said she’d like to win a few more majors, but when it comes right down to it, she hopes to inspire more young people to take up the game.

Already our Miss Brooke (I can

LAURIE WEIR Weir View say “our Miss Brooke” as this entire region has adopted her as their own) has made close to $3M on the tour – and that’s just from the tournaments themselves, not to mention her sponsorships and endorsements.

Why not retire and go back to school?

Two of her BFFs are doing just that this week. Neil Doef has made his way to Princeton University on a hockey scholarship, and Bailey Andison starts her third year at the University of Denver on a swimming scholarship.

Maybe Brooke is feeling the nostalgia of going back to school this week.

She openly talked about going to the University of Florida on a full golf scholarship two years ago, but decided to go pro instead. Who can blame her? It was a great choice for her and she’s developed a following like no other Canadian on the tour.

What she has done for the sport of women’s golf has been incredible.

If you had the opportunity to get to the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club last month, you would have been swept up in the sea of red and white.

Kids and adults alike donned their “Brooke Brigade” T-shirts and followed her from hole to hole.

I had the opportunity to be one of the followers – that sounds a little creepy, but it was actually quite exciting. I took my colleague and friend, Cheryl with me on the Friday afternoon. I think the entire Town of Smiths Falls was there, making some people crack jokes that the Smiths Falls had shut down for the day. Heck it was closed for the weekend! Seriously.

Anyway, Cheryl and I plunked ourselves at the 15th tee. Brooke had already teed off at 1 p.m. from the back nine so we got there just in time to jockey for position – elbowing and poking people out of the way – along the front of the clubhouse. We were in the rough, on a wicked slant and holding on to the rope for dear life.

VIA Rail trains from Peterborough, via Perth, could be pulling into this station as soon as 2019.

Reader not convinced that VIA’s plan is the right one for the Town of Perth DEAR EDITOR,

Re: Perth council votes support for VIA Rail’s proposed rail link to Peterborough, Smiths Falls I am a loyal VIA Rail customer.

I take the train several times a year to visit family and friends in eastern Ontario and Quebec. Like many fellow passengers, and VIA Rail management, I am concerned by delays caused by freight trains and the state of its rolling stock. I am pleased to see that VIA president Yves DesjardinsSiciliano is working on plans for new rail cars, and a dedicated passenger line. It is also nice to see Perth town council’s support for improved passenger rail.

Yet, I am skeptical of VIA’s proposed route along the old Canadian Pacific Railway line through Peterborough and Perth. One hundred years ago, CP built a new mainline through

COLUMN From page P8

We walked back and forth from the 15th tee to the 9th green, which was just behind us. So we had the opportunity to see many golfers putting out and coming off the links.

Then we saw the red and white wave and knew Brooke was on her way.

The crowds that lined the back of the green parted to make way for her police escort and Brooke appeared.

Cheryl grabbed my arm, “There she is!”

“I see her!”

OMGoodness, are we kids, or what? It was just pretty cool to get caught up in the thrill of it all.

She stepped onto the tee and Cheryl hollers, “Smiths Falls loves you, Brooke!”

I saw it. Brooke smiled from ear to ear, but it was a fleeting moment as she was down to business. She had to make the cut on this day and she was teetering on the edge.

As luck would have it, Brooke did make the cut and blistered up the

Belleville to avoid the slow curves, landslides, and swampy terrain that VIA is now proposing to build its principal rail corridor along.

The route misses large population centres like Kingston. Between Peterborough and Perth, there are no urban areas with populations larger than 4,000.

If Perth was even to get a station on this line, it would likely only see one or two departures a day, as the main priority will be to speed passengers between Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal, rather than serve local communities en route.

I would like nothing more than faster, more reliable passenger rail service in Ontario and Quebec, but I have yet to be convinced that VIA’s plan for reviving the old CP railway corridor is the right one.

Thank you, Sean Marshall Toronto

greens the following days with the low round and course record 63 (8-under) to win the Sandra Post medal for low Canadian.

She finished tied for 12th – two spots higher than last year.

It’s got to be tough on her - the pressure from the fans, the media, and the sponsors.

She golfed on Friday with Christie Kerr, who said in an interview that she encouraged Brooke to dig deep and find it in herself to fight for the cut.

Brooke said she was digging.

“Dig deeper,” Christie, the 20-year veteran of the game, told her.

She dug.

Brooke said she appreciated playing with Christie and the advice she received from her.

“She’s a role model, I look up to her,” said Henderson of Kerr. “To play with her three days this week really helped me. Just things like that, letting me walk up on to 18 and soak in the crowd and all those cheers, that was just really a class act.”

You too, Brooke, are a class act.

Ms. Warren’s new profession: Glen Tay principal

BY DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Glen Tay Public School cannot boast of icebergs outside of their windows.

It is perhaps the one thing that the school cannot provide for their new principal, Krista Warren.

But then again, she’s already had that experience, following a supply teaching stint in Canada’s easternmost province.

“I’ve never seen an iceberg,” Warren told her class in Torbay, NL, during her time there a few years ago.

Little did she know “the icebergs had been rolling in,” and her students were quick to point out the window to the bay.

“Miss, there’s one right there!”

And lo and behold, an iceberg floated by in the waters of Torbay Bight.

“I had an accent, for them,” said Warren, sitting in her new office in Tay Valley Township on Monday, Aug. 28.

Her time in Newfoundland means that she has lived on both Canada’s Atlantic and Pacific coasts.

Almonte boomerang Though she was born in Almonte, her family very quickly moved to Duncan, B.C., on Vancouver Island. After four years, they moved back to the area, settling in Carp, where she attended Huntley Centennial Public School. In her high school years, she attended Earl of March Secondary School in Kanata, and Bell High School in Nepean, before graduating from Almonte and District High School (ADHS).

She attended Carleton University in Ottawa for her undergraduate psychology BA, and

a masters in psychology. She later attended the University of Ottawa for teachers’ college, earning her bachelor of education, and later her masters in education.

Her first school as a teacher was what was then the Almonte and Carleton Place Alternative School, now the T.R. Leger alternative school. She shuttled between the two campuses, dividing up her week.

She then moved up to the high school level, teaching at ADHS, before picking up duties at Rockland District High School for three years. She returned then to ADHS to teach math, then became a student success teacher and guidance counsellor.

Warren’s career path changed slightly when she moved on up to administration to become the vice principal at Naismith Memorial Public School.

You are probably noticing a bit of a theme here — that Warren keeps returning to ADHS. Well, that’s exactly what happened next - she went back across town to become the vice principal at ADHS for three years.

Her next move, at the Upper Canada District School Board’s behest, was to become the vice principal at the North Grenville District High School.

By now, she was contemplating a break, and took a year off, to travel to England and Ireland and the aforementioned Newfoundland, where lived for nine months.

Upon her return home to eastern Ontario, the school board had a hard job for her to handle — vice principal at Carleton Place High School (CPHS).

Not that there is anything

wrong with CPHS, but, as she explained with a laugh, “I’m an Almonte girl. What are you doing?”

She adds that once she arrived at CPHS, “I quickly got over it. Now I’m both a Thunderbolt and a Bear.”

After her time in Carleton Place, she took up her latest role in Tay Valley.

Welcome to TV Warren made her first appearance at Glen Tay this past June during the school’s fun fair.

“There were hugs and welcomes,” she said. “They didn’t even know Steve (Ferguson) was retiring,” she said of her predecessor as principal.

During her most recent high school posting, she focused on the Grade 7 and 8 students, which will come in handy at Glen Tay since “I know where I want our Grade 6 (students) to be,” she said. “The work that the elementary schools do is vitally important.”

One area of importance for her will be making sure those students are “math-ready,” going into intermediate level grades. She has seen the success that “messy math boxes” can have, “to help (students) see what they are learning for our kinetic learners.”

She would also like to get some learning done herself, specifically “to find out where the gaps (in math) are, to close those gaps.”

She wants to do a similar study on literacy, “to find out where everybody is on that. It’s all about closing gaps.”

Hobbies In her spare time, Warren enthuses that “I love spending time outside,” and that her hobbies include hiking, canoeing, and travelling.

Since she will be spending more time in this end of Lanark County, she has also taken to exploring the area as a tourist would, having visited Perth’s Ribfest back in early August.

She also has a daughter,

aged 27, who is a graphic designer, and Warren has a Maltese dog at home.

“I’m very excited to be here,” said Warren, who adds that she “loves kids and working with the community.”

Lanark Archives received big donation from Commonwell Mutual

Archives Lanark has benefited in a big way from a Canada 150 decision to support heritage causes.

The Commonwell Mutual Insurance Group, which has a Perth division, is celebrating Canada's 150th anniversary by supporting heritage causes in the Ontario communities that the home, farm and auto insurance company serves.

Archives Lanark is one of six Ontario organizations to receive a donation.

Tim Shauf, President and chief executive officer of The Commonwell Mutual Insurance Group commented that "As a community-based

business celebrating our own legacy of 122 years, we recognized Canada 150 as a perfect moment to step up and specifically help these organizations in their important work to remember, recount and re-enact our shared history for future generations."

Archives Lanark, located at Drummond Centre, is a central repository of documentary material pertaining to the historical heritage of Lanark County.

“ Why do I hear but not under stand? ” If you struggle to understand, you’re not alone, in fact 47% of Canadians over the age of 60 have hearing loss. Your hearing difficulties could be caused by damaged hearing hair cells inside your inner ear (cochlea). When damage occurs in the high-frequency areas of the cochlea (where consonants are heard), speech may sound garbled and comprehension may become difficult. The right hearing aid could help you improve your comprehension.

Perth council votes support for VIA Rail’s proposed link to Peterborough, Smiths Falls

BY DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Perth town council has passed a motion supporting VIA Rail Canada’s plans for a new train route from Peterborough to Smiths Falls, via Perth — even if Perth does not

appear on the Crown corporation’s proposed route map.

While the motion was unanimously approved by town council on Tuesday, Aug. 29, moved by Deputy Mayor John Gemmell and seconded by Coun. Jim Boldt, before the vote, Boldt told Mayor John

Fenik that “I looked at that route and I did not see Perth included,” as a stop between Peterborough and Smiths Falls.

“Is it their (VIA Rail’s) intention to stop in Perth?” asked Boldt.

“Yes,” said Fenik simply.

“If the train is going through

Perth, it will stop here,” he said, even though the town does not yet have a station.

He said he supported VIA’s decision to invest in rolling stock and proposed new lines, and he commended the corporation’s president and chief executive officer, Yves DesjardinsSiciliano.

“The more I get to know Yves, (I see) he’s a true visionary,” said Fenik.

“Frequent rail just makes sense, from rural areas to big cities … It is the way of the future.”

Fenik promised that “I will work very hard (at) … chasing down (federal transport minister) Marc Garneau for money.”

Courthouse renovations While Fenik plans to meet with Garneau, he has already met with Attorney General Yasir Naqvi, at the Association of Municipalities of

Ontario (AMO) conference in Ottawa, regarding renovations to the Perth courthouse on Drummond Street. He noted that the original price tag for renovating the courthouse, when it was first proposed in 2007 — the very year Naqvi was

first elected as an MPP, for Ottawa Centre — was between $7 and $9 million.

The renovation costs now would likely be around $20 million.

“What’s $20 million between friends?” Fenik said he joked with Naqvi.

Passengers get on board the evening VIA Rail train between Brockville and Smiths Falls in this file photo from the summer of 2016.

Enjoy your September and take time to reflect This summer has been hectic. I was blessed with people who were able to carry the load at the Drop in and Store so I was able to take five days off. We called it a holiday and I began to look forward to my time away.

What are holidays? I spent the time cleaning, doing loads of washing and rearranging rooms. As I returned to the land of ‘work’ so many have said, ‘so did you enjoy your holiday!’ Life can seem like we are busy and yet when we look back we wonder what have we accomplished.

I think as we come into September we reflect back on the summer and it seems to have flown by. What did we get to enjoy?

Hopefully you will have been able to enjoy the flowers, the rainbows, the bird song, the butterflies and sunshine when it came.

This summer I buried my husband and a friend’s mother, I performed the wedding of a young couple, the young man I had known since he was four years old and what a privilege to be part of this next life stage.

These were some major events.

Religion Today SHIRLEY ABRAHAMSE BRADLEY His House Salvation Army

I also got to go to Montreal to a Blue Jays ball game. Life can take many different turns.

Some fun, some not so fun.

When we get busy we seldom take time to be quiet.

Well in this time out I had I sat outside one day, I was waiting for the ‘Eclipse’ to happen.

So much had been said about it that I wanted to be part of it.

So I set my chair up outside to see what difference there would be in nature.

I sat in silence for about an hour and that hour did better than the whole five days. I sat quietly in the garden watching the bees around the many flowering weeds in my garden. I saw a hummingbird drinking from one of the flowers.

The humming bird was beautiful and a perfect note to my day.

It was only when I decided to take a little time to sit, be quiet and reflect that I could actually

appreciate what ‘holiday’ was all about.

It brought the message from God to me ‘be still and know that I am God’. I had been so busy doing that I had forgotten to be quiet. To rest in the arms of my heavenly Father.

To take time to replenish my soul. Holidays were meant for us to rejuvenate our physical bodies, but we so often make it a time of busy that we forget to rest.

We forget about our Spiritual rejuvenation and find that we are living on very stretched out stressed lives and we wonder why we are not coping. Jesus said to us, ‘Come to me all you who are weary and I will give you rest’.

My lesson from these five days is that even though we make ourselves busy God is saying ‘Be still, Let me give you Rest, Let me take care of You’.

I hope your summer has been a good one, but for those of you who understand the stressors I have spoken of, God is saying.

He is in control and He will give you rest. As you enjoy September and as you reflect on this summer. May the God of Peace be with you.

She will discuss organisms, insects and animals that aid pollination of edibles and flowers and outline gardening practices that contribute to a health garden environment—all beneficial to creating the gardens we want near our home.

PDHS has a wide variety of classes in our judged September Flower Show.

Please check your 2017 Yearbook or our website to find the Horticultural Specimen classes of flowers or vegetables to show and the four Design classes from which you may choose to exercise your creative powers. Please have your entries placed by 7 p.m. to qualify.

from scratch as well as healthy snacks using recipes with new flavours With the help of a nurse, we will track blood pressure and other health indicators at the beginning and end of the program, and provide pedometers so participants can monitor daily steps. A dietitian will be involved in teaching nutritional topics and will be available to answer questions.

“We are excited about running this program because it gives individual participants the ability to set their own goals based on their current health needs It doesn’t assume everyone has the same needs or abilities” says The Table’s Community Kitchen Coordinator, Aisha Toor. She explains that the Foodfit model is designed to re-

spect the limits of people’s individual circumstances, and encourage everyone to “take small steps, and make changes they can live with.”

This program will be free of charge and open to any age. Childcare will be provided upon request. The program will take place on Wednesday at the Smiths Falls Community Health Centre and on Thursday at The Table in Perth. The programs begin on September 13th and 14th respectively.

Priority will be given to community members who self identify as living in a low-income household.

Registration open for new adult volleyball league

BY LAURIE WEIR

ljweir@metroland.com

The new Perth and District Volleyball League is open for registration.

New to Lanark County, it was organized by Hilary Longtin and Kendra Moore over the past several months to generate interest through social media.

Both are volunteer co-presidents, who do not profit from this venture.

“This is our first year running actually,” said Longtin, who is a graduate of St. John Catholic High School. “We had a pre-season tournament in June which we had four teams come out to play for a round-robin single day tournament.”

It was a lot of work to get stated she said, “and we have been working at building our website and social media since March.”

Longtin and Moore – who is a graduate of Perth and District Collegiate Institute – have spoken to a lot of people about the new league and there has always been an interest in the area, “so we really hope that it works out,” Longtin said.

“We hope to keep a relationship going with St. John Catholic High School as I am an occasional teacher for the CDSBEO,” she added.

The league welcomes anyone within driving distance to come out and play. Registration for individuals and teams are open now for the fall/winter season until Sept. 13.

“We may extend registration if people are interested and can't make that date work.”

The league is semi-competitive in a sense that they play for fun, however they have players of all skill levels.

Men are not allowed to spike in front of the attack line for safety reasons, Longtin explained.

There will be an in-house tournament at the end of the season with the teams from the league, as they will use standings from the season to determine the schedule and game play.

Longtin said she’s hoping for at least eight teams.

“We plan on bettering our league and giving back to the community as much as we can with the proceeds,” she said. “We would also love the opportunity to expand (travel, host tournaments for other teams in the area to join, etc.) in the future if things work out.”

The league will play out of St. John Catholic High School in Perth on Wednesdays beginning Sept. 20 from 7 to 8 p.m.

REGISTRATION Team registration is $250 for

eight to 10 players or $35/person but spots are limited.

There will be 15 games during the course of the season with a tentative tournament date on Jan. 20, 2018.

The PDVL is a great opportunity close to home to be active, meet new people and have some fun.

There will be two season per year – fall and winter which runs September to January, and winter/spring which runs February to June.

Teams must have a minimum of eight players to register and are capped at 12 per team.

Each team will have one game a week, either at 7 p.m. or 8 p.m. on Wednesday night.

Henderson finishes T15 at Cambria Portland Classic

BY LAURIE WEIR

“I love this tournament and it’s really been special to me, so hopefully I can go out and make the next two days special too.”

Next up for the ladies is a new tournament in Indianapolis. The Indy Women in Tech Championship presented by Guggenheim from Sept. 7-9. Following that is the Evian Championship in France from Sept. 15 to 17.

Brooke Henderson was on the hunt for her third consecutive title at the Cambria Portland Classic over the weekend, but it wasn’t meant to be as the Smiths Falls native dropped to T15 after a tough weekend.

Henderson was tied for first place after the cut, but shot a 2-over 74 Saturday and slid down the leaderboard. Sunday, she had a strong front nine, dropping three birdies and another impressive eagle shot on the par 5, fifth hole. She ended with a bogey on the turn but was 4-under on the day and down to 13-under for the tournament. Two more birdies, on the back nine eliminated the two bogeys of the day. Henderson had some tough luck on the final hole as one of her shots landed in the water. She ended with a triple bogey on the par-4 and ended her round at 10-under. She earned US$16,830.

The winner – Stacy Lewis of Houston, Texas, won the event at 20-under par and pledged to donate her pay cheque of $195,000 to the flood relief efforts in her hometown. It ended a three-year drought for the U.S. golfer, whose last tournament victory was at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship.

Coincidentally, both Lewis and Henderson tied for 12th place at the CP Women’s Open in Ottawa two weeks ago.

65 on Friday to get her back to the top of the leaderboard.

“It was a little up and down today,” she said. “I made a lot of birdies and an eagle which was awesome. I made a couple of bogeys that I would like to take off the card for the next two days but overall I feel like I have a solid game plan and any time I’m double digits after two days I’m really happy.”

Being tied at 10-under par with Lewis, Henderson said, “Hopefully, I can just continue that trend over the next two days.”

The eagle shot on the par 4, 11th hole, was a really tough shot, she added.

“To see it go in that really made my day and made me happy. I was able to go 4-unThrough the weekend Henderson spoke to media after a blazing der par at that point and that was really im-

portant and helped me get to 10-under par today.”

She said the course played differently than it did on Thursday, as it had really started to dry out. “It was really firm and fast and I felt that Brit (caddie and sister, Brittany Henderson) and I did a really good job of allowing for that off the tee shots and onto the green as well. I’m looking forward to seeing how it’s going to play over the next two days but if it’s like (Friday) you can expect the scores not to be quite as low.”

As the tournament’s two-time defending champion, and being at the top of the leaderboard, Henderson said she wants to keep everything the same with her game.

“It seems to be working so far,” she said.

Triple play appearance by Ottawa Senators stars during Perth visit

BY DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

A top trio of Ottawa Senators players from past and present were autograph favourites during a visit to Perth on Aug. 29.

Ottawa Senators players Mark Stone and Nick Paul, and recently retired defenceman Chris Phillips, were on hand at the Canadian Tire Store in Perth on Highway 7 on Tuesday evening as part of the team’s Hometown Tour series.

Phillips, who retired at the end of the 2015-2016 series as the longest-serving player on the team (starting in 1997-98), signed autographs alongside Stone and Paul, and mingled with fans, amidst a midway of hockey themed games.
