Quilt of many colours provides plenty of green Events – An Aug. 11 raffle for a donated quilt raised more than $3,000 for Community Living Lanark County. Standing outside of their Gore Street East location, showing off the beautiful quilt on Thursday, Sept. 5 are, from left, Tania Burns, facilitator with Community Living, client Jackie Barr, quilt winner Anne Munroe, and Anna Cornel, outreach coordinator for the Lanark County Quilter’s Guild. About 40 people worked on the quilt in total, and Munroe had a chance to try out the quilt the night before, when the temperature dipped down to the single digits overnight.

Middleville Fair welcomes visitors for one-day agricultural adventure

Events – If you’re looking for something to do on Saturday, check out the Middleville Fair. One of the longest-running agricultural fairs in Lanark County, the gates open at 10 a.m. on Sept. 14 and welcomes hundreds of visitors through to about 8 p.m. “We have some new and exciting things this year,” says Audrey Kostaszek, the secretary-treasurer, who has been with the fair board for five years now. Prior to this, she spent 18 years with the Almonte Fair, a three-day event. “This (Middleville Fair) is a lot of fun, and even though there are no rides, we do have a lot of children’s activities like games and crafts,” she says. “It’s a total agricultural experience.” This year’s pumpkin theme is encouraged to be adapted to entries in the home crafter’s exhibits. Kids are also going to have fun with pumpkin races, adds Kostaszek. “We have a new event this year called the veggie races and we encourage kids to put wheels on a pumpkin and race it down a ramp,” she explains. “It should be a lot of fun.” About 10 vendors will be on site so visitors can help support local farmers by purchasing produce

and crafts. Demonstrations of rope making will be taking place, as will sheep shearing, blacksmithing, and a farrier demo. “We will have a gentleman on site doing horseshoe demonstrations, which is new this year. I think that’s much more interesting than watching a horse running in circles around a track,” she says with a laugh. The popular children’s scavenger hunt will take place again this year with cash and prizes for the top three finishers. A kids’ teddy bear picnic is another popular attraction. A pet show will be on tap at 11 a.m. along with judging of cattle, pigs, chickens and sheep. The hall will be open to check out the exhibitors. Musical entertainment will be performed by Barry and Jude with special guest, Ray Adams. And what fair is complete without some good eats? The always-popular ham and bean luncheon will be on tap at 11 a.m. and a turkey dinner will begin at 4:30 p.m. “It’s a great little one-day fair,” says Kostaszek. “You can learn a lot, see a lot and see your friends.” For a detailed events’ listing, visit www.middlevillefair.ca

News – Just as everything changed on 9/11, so too did everything change quickly for Derek Needham, the new detachment commander for the Lanark County OPP, just last week. On Wednesday, Sept. 4, the then Staff Sergeant sat before an interviewing committee as one of the candidates to replace outgoing Insp. Gerry Salisbury, who had been the detachment commander for 16 years before announcing his retirement. By the next day, an OPP press release went out announcing that Needham was to be Salisbury’s replacement. Needham was still on vacation, and would take up his position on Monday, Sept. 9. And you thought you had a lot of work waiting for you when you got back to the office after vacation. “I was thrilled to have the confidence and support of the staff,” said Needham of the decision. As one enters Needham’s office, the first imposing image that meets one’s eyes is a blown up, mounted image of the front page of the 9/11 edition of The Record from Bergen, New Jersey, of three emergency workers raising the red, white, and blue at Ground Zero on the afternoon of Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2001. “It’s a reminder of the reasons why we do some of the things we do,” said Needham, settling down in a seat beside the iconic image of that terrible day 12 years ago this week. “It represents a turning point in a lot of ways, to law enforcement, to how we do business.” Needham had only been on the job as an OPP officer for a few years at that point, and the memories of that day still stick with officers who were on the job that day. A native of Kanata, he first served in Morrisburg for a year, before moving to Arnprior for five years, then a five-year posting as a sergeant in Kirkland Lake, before moving to Perth in May of 2009. Looking back over his elementary school records now, he

Derek Needham, new Lanark OPP detachment commander. admits that it was not surprising that he chose policing as his career. “I was about five,” when he knew, he said during an interview this past Monday. “‘Policeman’ was (written) there quite often,” as his career of choice, even after other boys and girls had abandoned the notion. But, unlike others for whom policing is their life’s dream, he did not act on the idea until he was in his 20s. “I wasn’t 20 or 19 coming out of high school,” said Needham. Instead of taking police foundations, he went to Carleton University where he studied economics, before applying to the OPP and taking up police training. Once he graduated, “Dad was pretty proud,” even more so since no other family members had sought out a career with the police. While never taking anything for granted, Needham admitted that Salisbury had succession planning on his mind for some years before his retirement. “You have to make sure that when you walk out the door that there was someone competent to take over,” said Needham, who would often accompany Salisbury to police service board meetings across the county, or even act in his stead when Salisbury was away.

segment on CTV’s Regional Contact, that was rebroadcast a few times, and that’s brought in a lot of new customers, not only to our store, but to Smiths Falls,� adds Brandum.

For Brandum though, some of the real satisfaction comes from how the REAL Deal has touched and helped people, and created local jobs in the environmental field. “We’re very proud

that we have hired from the ranks of our volunteers, and that a number of our volunteers have gained confidence and life and work skills at the REAL Deal and have ‘graduated’ to regular jobs in the community,� she says. The REAL Deal is on Facebook where it regularly posts pictures of new items, its monthly silent auction, special sales and repurposing ideas. The store also keeps a Wish Book, calling customers should their particular item come in. And, it keeps some customer comment books. “Those are so gratifying to read,� says Brandum. “One customer commented that we were ‘busier than Walmart,’ another that she had found her youth here, yet another that the REAL Deal is the best used store in eastern Ontario, and another who found a set of dishes that reminded her of when her children were young – it’s those stories that really touch you.� The REAL Deal Reuse Store is located at 85 William St. W., in Smiths Falls and is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Call 613283-7999 to check if they can take your donations or to find out if they have a certain item.

News – The REAL Deal Reuse Store is celebrating its fifth anniversary with a storewide 50 per cent off sale. It’s a way of thanking the thousands of supporters who understand how important it is to keep good stuff out of area landfills – and who have consequently helped the REAL Deal to grow. “Between donors and buyers, we now have 10,000 visits a year,� says Susan Brandum, executive director of the REAL Deal. The REAL Deal is a project of the Rideau Environmental Action League, a 24-year-old environmental charity based in Smiths Falls. The store, which is a social enterprise, receives donated goods from householders and renovators, and sells the goods, putting the proceeds into its other environmental projects. It carries kitchenware, decorative items, art, books, sports and recreation goods, jewelry, collectibles, antiques, furniture, small appliances, lighting, hardware, doors, windows, renovation materials, flooring, bathroom vanities, sinks, gardening supplies, pet supplies, craft materials, cds and kids videos, cards, and numerous other things. With the initial support of Guy Saumure & Sons, REAL launched the REAL Deal seven years ago, in the old Parks Canada building opposite Drummonds Gas. But that building had to be torn down, and the REAL Deal was in limbo for a year until it moved into its current location at 85 William St. West, an old municipal works building no longer used by the Town of Smiths Falls that is opposite the Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario. “Just those few years ago, not a lot of people understood what we were about. But that has completely turned around. People get it now. They’re happy to buy used when the item is available, and they’re really happy their old stuff finds a good home. Today, we’re diverting about 35 tonnes each year from area landfills,� says Brandum. In the five years at their current location, they estimate they have diverted about 140 tonnes from landfills. And the REAL Deal has been something of a model for a few area municipalities that have set up their own reuse centres at their dumps. New customers at the REAL Deal often ask why their purchases are weighed before they leave, and why the clerks ask for their municipality. That’s because the operation collects the weights on goods donated, purchased, and sent to its free tables, to other non-profits, to recycling and to garbage, so it can report those numbers to the municipalities that help support it. Those include Smiths Falls, Drummond/North Elmsley and Montague. Those municipalities in turn get a little extra revenue from Waste Diversion Ontario for the diversions. (Experienced customers occasionally remind the clerks to weigh, if, in a rush, the clerk has forgotten!) The REAL Deal has two part-time paid staff, manager Tracy Thomson, who has a particular passion for collectibles and antiques, and assistant Don Harvey. But it would not function without its incredible group of volunteers. On any given day, from four to eight volunteers are busy on cash, receiving, pricing, cleaning and sorting. About half volunteer the full three days the store is open, meaning they put in 18 hours a week. Over the course of a year, about 35 volunteers contribute to the REAL Deal, and put in an impressive total of 4,500 hours. The REAL Deal is also now a tourist

My Town’s Got Talent showcase coming to a high school near you this month Community – It’s September – time once again for My Town’s Got Talent auditions – where we look for the best talent in Lanark County to showcase at the finale. This year, the event will take place in Carleton Place on Oct. 25. Auditions for this year’s show will take place during the last week of September, with the judges stopping from 4 to 9 p.m. at St. John Catholic High School in Perth on Sept. 23; Smith Falls District Collegiate Institute on Sept. 24; Almonte District High School in Mississippi Mills on Sept. 25, and Carleton Place High School on Sept. 26. The goal: to select the 15 semi-finalists for the show. At the finale, presented by Metroland (EMC) and Town and Country Chrysler, along with Lake 88.1, our celebrity judges, with help from fans in the county through an on-line poll, will select the five finalists. Once again, the evening will feature the audience voting for the overall winner from those five finalists. “The finale in Perth last year was outstanding,� according to Christy Bindhardt, artistic director. “We had an incredible variety of talent, from dancers to solo singers to trios to a guitar instrumentalist to a slam poet.� If you can dance, do poetry, drum, do comedy, or are the best entertainer in whatever you do, then we want you out at our auditions! “All of the details for auditioning are on our website,� noted Bindhardt. The website is www.mtgt.org, where you can also see photos of last year’s

show, which was won by Alexander Cox from Carleton Place. In addition to the auditions for performers, there are also two new categories for youth to participate in. “We wanted to give more youth an opportunity to participate, so this year we are having a Host Competition and a Logo Design Competition,� said Bindhardt. “For the hosts, we are looking for actors, comedians, or youth who just love to talk, to try out to be part of the finale event. The semi-finalists in this competition will each host a athird of the first part of the evening, and then the winner will host the exciting final five portion of the night – and again, the audience will vote for the host with the most!� In addition, there will be a contest for the budding designers in Lanark County who think they are able to create a new logo for My Town’s Got Talent. “We have had the same logo for two years, so it is time to create a new one – and what better way than to have the youth of the county design one for us,� said Bindhardt. “The audience will see all five semi-finalists work at the finale, and will select the winner as well. It’s an opportunity for even more youth to become involved in My Town’s Got Talent!� The venue for this year’s Finale show is the Cafetorium of the Carleton Place High School. “Following tradition, we are moving the Finale to another town again,� said show producer Fraser Scantlebury of the United Way, “and this year, it is Carleton Place’s turn to shine on Oct. 25 at 7 p.m. After the excellent

reception we had in Perth last year, and before that for two years in Almonte, we look forward to strong support from the folks in Carleton Place for this year’s show. We will be going all out to make the finale a professional and fun event for everyone – both the contestants and the audience.� “Once again, this year’s event will feature the ability for fans to vote for their favorite act by donating online to the United Way Lanark County,� continued Scantlebury. “These votes will be combined with the judges’ choices to select the five finalists, who will then perform once more for the audience, who will then vote for the winner. Audience members receive one ballot each, and when the five performances are over, we count up the votes immediately to see who wins. It’s a fun-filled, action packed night, where fifteen hopefuls battle it out to be in the final five, and then go on to try and bring back the title of best in Lanark County to their hometown!� As in previous years, the event is in support of the United Way Lanark County annual fall campaign. All donations at the door for the finale will go towards the United Way’s youth initiatives in Lanark County, supporting the United Way’s five youth centre member agencies. “This is an excellent opportunity for the county to see what our youth member agencies do for the young people in their communities,� noted Johann Ramsaran, chair of the board of the United Way Lanark County. “All five – Carleton Place Youth Centre, Lanark Highlands Youth Centre, YAK Youth Centre

SMITHS FALLS KINSMEN in conjunction with ‌

in Perth, Smiths Falls and District Youth Centre, and Take Young People Seriously (TYPS) Youth Centre from Mississippi Mills – will be helping out at the auditions and the final show. At the finale, community members will have the opportunity to meet youth from each centre, and learn about what their local youth centre is doing in their community.� An event such as My Town’s Got Talent takes the generous support of the community, and the United Way would welcome any local businesses or organizations that want to help out and

sponsor the finale. Please contact Emily Danaher, fund development officer, at the United Way Lanark County office (613-253-9074) for further details. “Once again, it’s now up to the youth of the County to come forward and sign up for the auditions,� said Bindhardt. “We have the judges getting ready – and we want to see the best in the county at the auditions. Just go to www.mtgt.org for all the details, or contact the United Way at 613-253-9074, and we will see you there!� Submitted by the United Way of Lanark County.

Runciman to post detailed expense reports on website News – Senator Bob Runciman announced recently he will soon start posting his expenses on his website. “The Senate, as an unelected body, should set the gold standard for public access to spending practices,� Runciman said. “I will post details of spending for travel, hospitality, expenses while in Ottawa for Senate sittings, and other details of my office and research budget.� Runciman said he will follow the lead of Senator Doug Black, of Alberta, who earlier this year became the first member of the Senate to post detailed expenses on his website. Black made accountability a major plank in his 2012 election campaign for the Alberta Senate seat. “I’ve always believed we have an obligation as Senators to be as transparent

as possible, and recent news about Senate spending has only reinforced that belief,� Runciman said. “This is taxpayers’ money and they have a right to know how we’re spending it.� Runciman noted that he was part of the Mike Harris cabinet that implemented the sunshine list in Ontario, requiring the annual disclosure of salaries above $100,000 in the province’s broader public sector. “I think that’s the type of transparency that the public wants, and deserves,� he said. Runciman said he hopes to have the reporting system up and running, with details posted at www.bobrunciman. com, before the Senate resumes sitting this fall.

REGIONAL NEWS

Hope 4 Hope to host ball tournament Sept. 21-22, benefit dance Oct. 12 Community – Hope 4 Hope is a group of family and friends who have rallied together to raise money for a dear family member and a dear friend. Last year, Hope (Wilkinson) Healey, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. After a 12hour surgery, she was told she was cancer free. She continued to be sick for a while, but then began to feel better. Unfortunately, the cancer is back and doctors have told her there is nothing more they can do for her. Hope 4 Hope understands all of the unique challenges Hope and her family are and will be facing. Our goal is to fundraise to be able to provide Hope with some comfort and peace of mind knowing that there is and will be some sort of financial assistance from all the en-

deavours of her family and friends. Beginning in July this year, Hope’s mother and aunts held an online auction with proceeds used to send Hope and husband Joe to Niagara Falls for a well-deserved peaceful and private get away. While visiting Niagara Falls, Hope and Joe were overjoyed with all the generosity, kindness and support they received. Since then Hope 4 Hope has had a yard sale and is continuing with selling of Hope 4 Hope wrist bands. We also received an incredible offer from Walmart (Smiths Falls) to allow us to sell wristbands and have an ‘In Kindness’ donation jar. Walmart (Smiths Falls) has generously offered to match all money collected dollar for dollar. Upcoming events are a Mixed

Slo-Pitch Ball Tournament and a benefit dance. The ball tournament will be hosting 12 teams in Lanark on Sept. 21 and 22. Once again tremendous support and hard work by organizers will be raising support and funds for Hope. The tournament has received donations of some equipment for the tournament. Organizers Dan Wilkinson and Julie Nagle continue to collect donations for raffle items and will also be selling wristbands to help cover costs of barbecue items. All of the proceeds of the tournament are going to Hope 4 Hope. Also coming up on Saturday, Oct. 12 is a benefit dance which will be held at Smiths Falls Civitan Hall. We have been very fortunate to have two live bands with us for

the evening. Royale with Cheese and rukkus have generously offered their musical talents to play great dancing tunes for our guests. The evening will begin at 5 p.m. with a barbecue available for guests to have a bite to eat before the dance begins at 7 p.m. We will also be offering door prizes, raffle draws, a 50/50 draw and a light meal will be provided later in the evening. We are continuing to canvass local merchants, family and friends for contributions of door prizes and raffle items. Anyone interested in contributing in any way, contact Sheila Beaupre at either 613-283-9266 or sheilabeaupre@ripnet.com or Christine Brown at kianraylin@ gmail.com. Submitted by Hope 4 Hope.

Community – The storms that day could have knocked the power out, but it wouldn’t have made any difference. North Bay’s Matthew Hendry, in Smiths Falls for work, got a real kick out of peddling to produce power for the REAL-sponsored Tune Your Ride show Aug. 22. Once the rain finally stopped that day, musicians and singers Jessica Moore, Abigail Lapell and Dana Sipos put on a concert for about 25 people and boaters in Victoria Park. Tune Your Ride peddled from Toronto to Ottawa.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

No safe time to drink alcohol when pregnant DEAR EDITOR: For the first time ever, Canada has one national set of low-risk alcohol drinking guidelines. These guidelines, intended for Canadians of legal drinking age who choose to drink alcohol, aim to provide consistent information across the country to help Canadians moderate their alcohol consumption. The new guidelines outline standard drinks sizes, limits for men and women, recommendations for youth and when zero is the limit. Specifically, guideline 4 recommends that the safest choice for those who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant or are breastfeeding is no alcohol at all. Alcohol exposure in pregnancy can cause birth defects and brain damage to your baby. This lifelong disability is called Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder and it does not go away as the child ages. For more information and resources, call the health unit or visit our website. The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit kicked off a “No safe type, no same time, no safe amount” campaign Sept. 6 and 7 in Smiths Falls and Perth. This message refers to the recommendation that there is no safe time (or trimester) during a pregnancy to drink alcohol, no safe type or brand of alcohol during pregnancy (including coolers,

beer, wine and spirits) and no safe amount of alcohol consumption during pregnancy. Information was available at any of our partners’ locations in Smiths Falls and Perth: Rob Roy’s, Red Fox, The Golden Arrow, Fiddleheads Bar and Grill, and O’Reilly’s Pub. Fifty per cent of pregnancies are unplanned, so it is possible you drank alcohol before you realized you were pregnant. If this is the case, stop drinking immediately and contact your health care provider. It is important to maintain your health throughout your reproductive years, even if you aren’t planning to have a baby any time soon. This includes monitoring your drinking and living a healthy lifestyle. Remember, if you are not actively preventing pregnancy with a reliable method of birth control, you are planning a pregnancy. A great alternative to drinking alcohol at any time is to substitute alcoholic drinks for non-alcoholic cocktails, also known as “mocktails.” Mocktails are a delicious and fun way to have a drink without the effects of alcohol. For mocktail recipes, visit www.healthunit.org/alcoholdrug/ alcohol/mocktails.htm. Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit

COMMENTARY Time to show off your talents Editorial – Dust off those tap shoes and grab your microphone! Fall is just around the corner and the United Way of Lanark County is once again busy planning its My Town’s Got Talent event. This year’s event will be held in the Carleton Place High School cafetorium on Oct. 25, but there’s still plenty of time for local youth to take part. In addition to the traditional categories (dance, comedy, poetry, etc.), there is also a host competition and logo design competition component to this year’s My Town’s Got Talent. The semi-finals get underway throughout the county during the last week of September, from 4 to 9 p.m.: Sept. 23 at St. John Catholic High School in Perth; Sept. 24 at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute in Smiths Falls; Sept. 25 at Almonte District High School; and Sept. 26 at Carleton Place High School. During the finale, fans throughout the county will select the five finalists, along with help from celebrity judges. This initiative is a great opportunity for the youth of our communities to showcase their special skills, have fun while doing so and raise much-needed funds to continue the efforts of the United Way. All donations will go towards the non-profit organization’s fall campaign and support its youth initiatives in Lanark County, which includes five youth centres. Those looking to lend a helping hand through sponsorship can contact the United Way at 613-253-9074.

Fall fair left a lasting impression for Mary this one year Lifestyle – Weeks had passed since the Renfrew Fair. But I couldn’t get the picture out of my mind. It haunted me when I lay in bed at night, and many times during the day. Had not Uncle Lou sent Mother money in an envelope with the sole purpose of taking us five children to the Renfrew Fair, there is a good chance we may not have gone that year. Mother said money was scarcer than hen’s teeth, and that year we may have to miss the fair. It would be the first time ever, and how Uncle Lou knew of our situation is beyond me. But he always seemed to be there with a helping hand when we needed it most. So crisp bills came...not American, even though Uncle Lou lived in New York, but Canadian money simply sent in an envelope in the mail, with a note scrawled on a piece of note paper saying “enjoy the fair”. So we were going after all. The usual preparations took place. A big lunch packed in an 11 quart basket... shards of ice from the ice house in a glass jar of iced tea...sugar cookies,

and a bowl of sliced cucumbers, radishes, and green onions...there was no such thing as plastic containers, or saran wrap back in the 30’s. A couple blankets to throw down on the grass, and we were all set. Mother had doled out Uncle Lou’s money to each of us to spend as we wished. Audrey said she was sure she had kept back a bill or two, and we kids would never see it. It would go right into the sugar bowl with Mother’s egg money! The three brothers vanished into the crowd at the fairgrounds almost before Father brought the old Model T to a stop. They were told not to spend their money on food...there was plenty under the blanket on the grass! Mother would go to see the embroidery work and the baking, and Father would head for the livestock. My sister Audrey was saddled with looking after me, although there was no danger of a youngster of my age wandering off alone in those days. I knew where the blanket was, and I would be perfectly safe to come Vice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount mmount@perfprint.ca 613-283-3182, ext. 104

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

and go as I pleased. Audrey said she would give me one half hour, and that was it. Then I was on my own. I told her I would like to just walk around…and wander in front of the big tents where the side-shows were, knowing perfectly well going inside was forbidden territory for me. But always out on the platform was a look of what a quarter would get you inside. I was fascinated at one stage where a little monkey sat on a chair eating a banana. I have no idea what was in the tent, but Audrey assured me it wasn’t suitable for the eyes of a sixyear-old! We wandered on, me holding tightly to Audrey’s hand, passing one tent

after another, all looking very forbidding to me. Then we came to the last tent in the row. A man, who looked like hadn’t seen bath water for a year, was honking through a horn affair inviting people in to see what he called “the oddities of mankind.” I had to ask Audrey what oddities meant, and she said just to look up on the stage. And there stood two little people. Their hair had been cut close to their heads, and they stood just a few feet tall. Their faces were wrinkled, and even at my young age, I saw such sadness and despair in their eyes as they scanned the crowd around the stage. They looked so frightened, and the man kept yelling out to the people in front, that for a quarter...“just twentyfive cents” he said, go into the tent and have a closer look. My heart went out to those two little people on the stage, in the blinding sun, and unbearable heat, and I wanted to climb up the steps and yank the horn out of the man’s hands, and go to the little people and put my arms around them.

I wanted to tell the people who were willing to part with a quarter, to turn away, look the other way. And I started to cry. My eyes connected with one of the little people, and her face, I thought softened, and I smiled in her direction. But the man was already shooing them off the stage and into the tent where those who had paid could get a closer look. I asked my sister why people would pay for this, and I told her I wanted to go to where our blanket was and sit for a spell and try to get the picture out of my mind. That year the rides didn’t seem as much fun, and the candy floss not as sweet. The picture stayed with me long after the Renfrew Fair was over. Like two lost souls, they were. When I went to bed at night after that day at the fair, when it came time for what Mother called our “silent prayers”, I remember the two little people, and I prayed that someone would rescue them from the man with the horn, and the hot tent, and the eyes of strangers. • Advertising rates and terms and conditions are according to the rate card in effect at time advertising published. • The advertiser agrees that the publisher shall not be liable for damages arising out of errors in advertisements beyond the amount charged for the space actually occupied by that portion of the advertisement in which the error occurred, whether such error is due to negligence of its servants or otherwise... and there shall be no liability for non-insertion of any advertisement beyond the amount charged for such advertisement. • The advertiser agrees that the copyright of all advertisements prepared by the Publisher be vested in the Publisher and that those advertisements cannot be reproduced without the permission of the Publisher. • The Publisher reserves the right to edit, revise or reject any advertisement.

CRUISING Community – On Sunday, Sept. 8, the annual Mike Bowes Memorial Cruise-In at the Perth Civitan drew a large crowd despite the cold wind. People from all around the Ottawa Valley brought their cars and enjoyed coffee, barbecue and the craft show. Above Michael Giroux stands with his 1962 AustinHealey, which has only been on the road for one year after he spent over 14 years renovating it. To the right, Bert Brennan shines his ’51 Pontiac, which he restored himself, after the drive to the show.

What to ask when choosing a realtor? Considering taking in renters? Read this first Lifestyle – When it comes to choosing a professional real estate team – from a realtor to a lawyer and home inspector, what do you need to know before selecting who you are going to work with? While there are a number of variables – if you’ve worked with the individual before, if they come referred by someone you trust and how much time you have to spend interviewing – there are some questions that you should ask before making any decisions, says Phil Dorner, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association. “For starters, there are over 55,000 realtors in Ontario so narrowing down your search can be a challenge! Look for someone whose knowledge and expertise best suit your needs by doing your research first and asking lots of questions,” says Dorner. Here are some specific

questions to ask realtors, lawyers and home inspectors, courtesy of the Ontario Real Estate Association: What to ask a realtor: • Registered in Ontario and a member of a real estate board? • Credentials, background and references? • Years of experience and area of focus? • Recent sales and listings in the neighbourhood? • Track record for getting list price? • Knowledgeable about the market and financing options? • Opinions on marketability of the home? • Types of services on offer to assist with the buy/sell process? What to ask a lawyer: • Real estate experience? Number of real estate transactions handled? • Availability outside working hours?

this week in

• Fee structure and services provide for fee? • Estimate of all associated legal costs? • How/when will you be alerted, should costs appear likely to exceed estimates? • References? What to ask a home inspector: • What does the home inspection cover? Not cover? • If further inspection is required, what then? • Experience and qualifications? • Cost of the inspection?

“The right real estate team will help guide you through the nuts and bolts of the transaction and really simplify the process – but be sure to ask all your questions up front and choose your team carefully,” says Dorner. Submitted by the Ontario Real Estate Association.

EMC Lifestyle – For homeowners, renting out a room in your home, a basement apartment or purchasing an investment property can be an appealing way to help with the mortgage, utilize extra space or make a real estate investment. According to Phil Dorner, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association, beyond the additional income, a rental property can be a valuable asset to your investment portfolio, as well as useful for family needs (including housing an aging relative or perhaps as a home for collegeaged children close to campus). “While there are clear benefits, before you consider becoming a landlord, make sure that you have a good grasp of what getting into the rental property business really entails,” says Dorner. Here are a few tips for pro-

spective landlords to get started: • Read the Residential Tenancies Act: Know your rights and responsibilities as a landlord. Understanding the act will help protect you as a landlord and also provide clarity on the roles of landlord and tenant. • Screen tenants: Choose your tenants carefully. Make sure that you have prospective tenants fill out an application, check their references and finally, carry out a credit check through a credit bureau. • Talk to your insurance company: Make sure to notify your home insurance company to avoid liability. • Ensure your rental suite is legal: Make sure your suite complies with municipal bylaws. If the suite is not up to standards, you will not be able to get insurance. • Learn from other landlords:

Do your research and talk to successful landlords who know the lay of the land. Tapping into the expertise of successful and experienced landlords is invaluable for first timers. Understand the responsibility and time commitment necessary in being a landlord and, if you are considering renting out a room in your home, make sure that you are comfortable making concessions in terms of your personal space and privacy. “It is also important to keep in mind that whether your rental suite is in your home or another property, the onus is on you to be available for dealing with anything that goes wrong – from a flooded basement to a broken toilet, you will need to be on call to deal with these situations if and when they should arise,” says Dorner.

Lifestyle – With another school year quickly approaching, it’s a great opportunity for students living away from home for the first time to develop good energy saving habits to reduce electricity bills and save money. To help students become more energy efficient throughout the school year, Hydro One has a handy list of tips: 1) Find out whether your electricity usage will be included in your rent or whether you will be billed separately. 2) If you will be billed separately, check whether Time-of-Use (TOU) pricing applies to you. This pricing plan will help you determine when the cost of electricity is lower throughout the day to better manage your electricity use habits. If you prefer studying late at night, you’re in luck as the lowest charging rate of electricity is at this time. To track your TOU electricity use, sign up for My Account today. 3) Turn off lights when they are not needed, especially if you know you are going to be out for the day. 4) Turn off your computer at night and use built in energy savings standby and hibernate functions when you are not using it throughout the day. 5) Be sure to turn off your television when not in use. LCD and LED models are the most energy efficient so be aware of older, hand-me-down television sets that could be draining your energy usage. 6) Air conditioning can use up a lot of electricity. In order to save money, open windows and consider using a fan, especially during peak hours. 7) Unplug your electronic devices when they are not in use to avoid what is known as phantom power. Phantom power is described as energy consumption that is still being drawn from household gadgets, electronic devices and appliances while they are switched off but plugged in. Plugging your appliances into a power bar can reduce unnecessary power use. 8) During the winter months, keep doors and windows closed, dress warmly, hang thick-lined curtains to keep the heat in and install weather stripping around the doors. This will allow you to minimize the use of electric heaters which use up a lot of energy. 9) Find out how your hot water is heated. If your unit uses a hot water heater, the amount of hot water you use will impact your electricity bill. Although you may enjoy taking long hot showers at home, you will find these showers quickly add up when paying your bill. Also ensure that you have your landlord fix any leaking taps to avoid sending extra money down the drain. 10) If you have a washing machine in your unit, try washing your clothing in cold water and during off-peak hours. Clothes dryers also consume a lot of energy so try and air-dry your clothing over a balcony or in the washroom if possible. Drying clothing during off-peak hours can also help you save money. 11) If possible, install compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs) or LED lights which use significantly less energy than incandescent bulbs. Also consider using lamps to light your work area instead of lighting the whole room. 12) If you’re heading home for the holidays be sure to turn off your lights and unplug electronics before you leave. Submitted by Hydro One.

Arts – Fifteen young, local actors, aged between 12 and 17 have been rehearsing this summer to present the Shakespearean tragedy, Othello. It’s a story of love destroyed by manipulation, betrayal and jealous rage. Come and join the young actors of the Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre in the round at the Carleton Place Town Hall as they present the first show in the Mississippi Mudds 2013-2014 season theatre line-up. There are two matinee performances at 2 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 20 and Saturday, Oct. 26. Evening performances at 8 p.m. are Friday, Oct. 25 and Saturday, Oct. 26. All seats $10. You know the story of Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol, and very likely you’ve seen it more than once, indeed perhaps have seen two or more versions of it. Even so, it’s an odds-on bet that you’ve never seen a version like this! Alistair Clinton has taken Dickens’ classic and played mischievously with the characters and dialog to turn it into a comedy

Kept simple, roundabouts can be very useful tool most cases. Those weren’t my first thoughts on encountering a roundabout in England however. Instead it was a worried “which way do we go here?” Because in Britain the largest roundabouts provide multiple options and it can be extremely confusing, especially the first time around. And around and around! I will readily admit it was roundabouts that cured me of the temptation to drive in the United Kingdom. My best advice? Use public transit and leave Britain’s roundabouts to the British! Driving on the left hand side of the road is confusing enough. Throw in some huge traffic circles and you have to pry my fingers off the steering wheel at the end of the journey. Still, I will readily admit these complex installations usually work very efficiently. The first circular junction in England opened in 1909 at Letchworth Garden City in the county of Hertfordshire, just north of London. The Letchworth roundabout was intended for the “modern automobile” but also to provide a central island for pedestrians. In Great Britain the modern roundabout really hit its stride in the 1960s and since has evolved into the “beast” I referred to earlier. Sorry, too busy and confusing for me in many cases! Common in Europe However, roundabouts need not be so intimidating. They are in widespread use in Europe. During a visit to Germany and France in 2011 (our friends were driving thankfully) we traveled through countless circular intersections. In most cases drivers had three choices. Go around to

the right (yes, they drive on the right hand side of the road in Continental Europe) and remain on the same road. Exit to the right and take an intersecting artery or circle the island and proceed along a route on the left hand side of the circle. Reasonably straight forward. In fact I’m sure I could manage those kinds of roundabouts! In 2010, the year before our visit to the Black Forest and the Alsace, France could claim more than 30,000 roundabouts. I’ll take the ones in the Alsace over those in Paris however. A Parisian roundabout is a synonym for “hell” based on what we witnessed in the French capital back in 1995. When in Paris stick to public transport, that’s my opinion! Despite my misgivings with respect to certain roundabouts I have seen the light in more recent times. I quite like the ones which are popping up in communities across our region, most notably in Ottawa where many more are slated for development. The reason I have warmed to roundabouts is mainly related to traffic flow. Certainly there is a calming effect involved because drivers are forced to slow down in order to navigate a traffic circle. Very different than in Canada and the United States where motorists are con-

stantly trying to beat traffic lights. Redlight running is a dangerous epidemic. The real advantage though is in keeping traffic moving. Red lights and stop signs force cars and trucks to come to a halt. On busy roadways the resulting back-up of slow moving vehicles (tailbacks as they are called in the UK) can be very time consuming and therefore extremely frustrating for drivers, especially during morning and evening rush hour. Traffic circles evolved early in the 20th century in the US but didn’t particularly catch on until the 1990s when roundabouts came into limited use in parts of the country. Circular intersections met with opposition from Americans who, like me when we first traveled in Britain, knew nothing about them. In fact Americans’ inability to exit roundabouts has been mocked on film. Do you remember Chevy Chase in that hilarious scene from ‘European Vacation’? He became trapped in a London roundabout. Priceless! As we move farther into the 21st century, traffic planners in Canada have discovered the usefulness of traffic circles. I can recall when the only one of significance in Ottawa was at the intersection of Queen Elizabeth Driveway and Prince of Wales Drive, near the Arboretum at the Central Experimental Farm. Now there are a number of them in the nation’s capital, although the only ones I have encountered are in quiet, suburban parts of the city. As I mentioned, many more are on the drawing boards. Kemptville, in our readership area, has at least three that I am aware of. Almonte

has a rather impressive roundabout on its eastern boundary. Last Wednesday I drove our daughter to Ottawa airport to catch a flight to her new home in Regina. I thought we had lots of time. But to avoid all of the construction I was already aware of in Ottawa’s west end I took a more southerly route, hoping to skirt around the trouble spots. I wasn’t the only one! When I reached the intersection of Fallowfield Road and Old Richmond Road the line-up of traffic ahead of us was depressing. We literally crawled from that point until we cleared the busy Barrhaven community. For a time I feared Heather might miss her required check-in time. The reason for the long, slowing moving string of vehicles? Traffic lights! There are three or four in quick succession which caused a back-up on the twolane road that stretched for at least two kilometres. As we inched forward in frustration I broke the silence. “Roundabouts! That would make a big difference here,” I told Heather. “There wouldn’t be a tie-up like this if there were roundabouts at the intersections instead of traffic signals.” I realize roundabouts have their limitations which I’m sure some of you will point out. I would like to see it kept simple here. Roundabouts with half a dozen exits are no fun at all! On average however I think their time has come in Canada and particularly in our largest urban centres.

Lifestyle – I can well remember the first time I encountered a roundabout. When you are driving in England and you come to a roundabout it is not something you soon forget! The highways and byways of Great Britain are notoriously crowded. Try heading to an English seaside resort on August Bank Holiday and you will see what I mean. Roundabouts are another matter entirely. These European highway fixtures have very quickly come into vogue in Canada and eastern Ontario in particular in recent times. But in case you have yet to experience one – which is entirely possible – roundabout is just another word to describe a traffic circle. To further explain, these transportation marvels are circular junctions where traffic is slowed but never really stops. Instead vehicles flow in one direction around a centre island and the driver has a choice of several exits which merge with intersecting roads. When approaching a modern roundabout motorists must always yield to vehicles which are already in the roundabout. Once the lane you plan to enter is clear you can proceed around the circle and either continue on your present route or exit directly onto an intersecting roadway. There are lots of descriptions and diagrams on-line if my explanation fails to suffice! There’s no question roundabouts are safer than traffic signals because they eliminate red light running and the possibility of so called “T-bone” crashes which can be so deadly. They also keep traffic flowing at a much better rate in

Going up! Studio Theatre celebrates a dream come true By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

News – The Perth Studio Theatre received uplifting news when they were awarded a Trillium grant in excess of $100,000 to help with accessibility issues – namely, an elevator. On Friday, Sept. 6, that elevator project that was some three years in the making, opened with much fanfare and praise of those who made it possible. Bruce Neil, president of the Perth Theatre Project, was all smiles as he opened the doors to the community, politicians and news media alike. “It’s very exciting,” he said, as he welcomed those present. “This has been a long time coming and so many people are responsible for making it happen. We couldn’t have done it without all of you – from our town council, to the Trillium Foundation and the volunteers at the Studio Theatre.” Mayor John Fenik said he was impressed with the productions that take place at the theatre throughout the season, which will be kicking off this week with the opening of “Old Love” by Norm Foster on Thursday, Sept. 12, and continue through the weekend with 8 p.m. performances. Sunday’s matinee will be performed at 2 p.m. and the show will continue next weekend as well. “I’ve never seen such gifted performances from the heart,” Fenik said. “This (new elevator) means that for those who didn’t have access to these rich and diverse performances will now be able to enjoy them. This will enrich so many people’s lives and open doors to the magic that Perth has to offer.” MPP Randy Hillier also expressed his gratitude, especially on behalf of his mother, whom

he said will now be able to enjoy the shows. “Mom has visited the Studio Theatre but couldn’t make it up the stairs,” he said. “This will be a big plus for her… to be able to see those colourful characters of Perth. And we’re looking forward to many more colourful plays at the Studio Theatre.” Gord Munroe, special guest from the Trillium Foundation, was also on hand to express his accolades to the people behind this elevator project. “There is a great demand for communities to rebuild and update their facilities and one-fifth of the applications are successful,” he said. “We felt that there

renovation will be finished on budget.” Neil said the Studio Theatre is a true community showplace, a not-for-profit registered charity run entirely by volunteers. “Everyone – actors, directors, sound and lighting crews, set designers, construction teams, ushers and snack bar people – works tirelessly without financial compensation, purely out of community spirit and love for the theatre.” Although the bulk of the renovation is now complete, there are finishing touches still to come, particularly in the new foyer, where a full bar and other enhancements will soon come to

was great support of the people of Perth on this project and it was their third time to apply for funding. This project received $107,000 to help with the accessibility issues, including the elevator.” Neil added that the total budget was about $150,000. “Thanks to a grant from the Trillium Foundation, generous support from our community and the building’s owners, and the efforts of our volunteers and theatre friends, we were able to begin construction early this year,” Neil said. “As with any major effort, the project took on a life of its own, eventually including a new barrier-free washroom, extensive renovations to the existing washrooms, and the creation of a spacious new foyer. Thanks to the efforts of our main contractor, Chris Saumure, the entire

life. The Studio Theatre’s exciting 2013/2014 season of plays and concerts is currently underway, featuring productions of such classics as The Wonderful Story of Mother Goose, The Lion in Winter, Little Women - The Musical and much more. On Oct. 5 the theatre welcomes legendary Canadian showman Gordie Tapp, and as the season unfolds there will be a series of concerts co-produced with the Stewart Park Festival, and many other outstanding events. If you haven’t yet discovered Perth’s theatrical gem in the Tay Basin, now is the time to come and see how hard work and commitment have transformed the Studio Theatre into a brighter, more accessible showplace than ever.

The new elevator at the Studio Theatre in Perth had a workout on Friday, Sept. 6 as it was opened to the public for the first time. The three-year, $150,000 project was a collaborative effort between the Ontario Trillium Foundation, the Town of Perth, the owners of the building and the members of the Studio Theatre who raised money over the past three years.

New Queen Elizabeth VP stresses technology for classrooms By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

she supports students in the classroom by getting them hooked up with the technology that will most likely help them have that ‘ah-ha’ moment, whether that be a laptop computer or use of Smart boards. Sometimes, projects are even done on iPads. “They try and meet individual needs,” she said. “It’s the same skills (being learned.) It’s still reading and writing. It’s an exciting time to be in education. There is a lot of technology coming. We’re not sure what we are preparing the students for. But we’d better teach them the tools that they will need.” But she hastens to add that teachers have not abdicated their obligation to teach to Google. “You have to teach them about Wikipedia, why it is not a good source,” she said, and to then teach them, “what is a good source, what is it, why you don’t cut and paste, why you put it in your own words.” Teaching math can also be aided by technology, she feels, to exercise “the mental capacity to do math…to use all of the technical tools available to them.” The way she is teaching today’s kids is different from even how their parents

were taught, turning the image of teaching on its head, in many ways. “It’s not top-down teaching any more, standing at the top of the class, (as) the arbiter of all wisdom,” said Stairs. “The children are expected to be involved.” Her own children have gone on to post-secondary education. Her daughter, Samantha Murphy, was on a three-year track scholarship at the University of Illinois, but has just switched to the University of Oregon to study kinesiology. Her son, Brayden Murphy, is studying business at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. Teaching certainly runs in the family, with her husband, Patrick Murphy, teaching heritage carpentry at Algonquin College’s Perth campus, though having teachers for parents certainly was not appealing to her children growing up. “I’m sure my kids would not say that that was fun,” said Stairs with a laugh. “They would say, ‘You always take the teacher’s side.’ They weren’t allowed to complain about homework.” As she embarks on her new role, she thanked the community for their support and added that “I’m really happy to be at Queen Elizabeth school.”

News – Beth Stairs has one foot in the vice principal’s office, with her other foot still planted firmly in the classroom. The new vice principal at Queen Elizabeth School, she also serves as a learning resource coach. “It’s only part time,” she says of her VP duties. “It’s not much of a change for me,” since she has served as the principal designate when the regular principal is away before. “They needed someone to step in and fill the VP role,” she added. “I am quite comfortable dealing with students and parents.” Part of the reason for the added VP duties was because of the school’s growing population. When she started at the school five years ago, there were 130 students in attendance. Now, that number is at about 380. Stairs served as a teacher for 19 years at Maple Grove Public School in Lanark, before coming over to Queen Elizabeth. “It was sad to leave there,” she said of her time in Lanark Highlands Township. “I still keep in touch. It was my first job.”

Reared in Nepean, she attended Confederation High School, and got her undergraduate degree in human kinetics at the University of Ottawa. She earned her teaching certification at the University of Western Ontario in London. Her many years of teaching will, she says, help her in her new role: “Once you get that many years in you, you get comfortable doing anything.” Being drawn from the teaching ranks to suddenly be in a position of authority with her colleagues is also not a problem, she insists. “I don’t feel I am coming in to be the boss. They (fellow teachers) knew me already and knew my strengths,” said Stairs, though the demands are certainly different in the VP’s office. “There are a lot more emails and decision making on the spot.” One of her areas of classroom expertise is as a reading recovery teacher for 10 years, as well as work as a literacy resource teacher, plus experience in the tech world – something that, with today’s wired world, is seeing literacy skills needing to meet up with technical skills. In working with children one-on-one to get their reading up to the class level,

Derek Needham is new OPP commander OPP From front page

“Gerry had given me lots of opportunities over the last four years to be ready for it,� said Needham. “There are a lot of meetings that go with this job.� While taking nothing for granted, Needham applauded the selection committee for choosing from within the Lanark County ranks. “It makes it easier to lead the transition,� said Needham. “I’m already up to speed with what the issues are and who the people are.� While Salisbury certainly left his mark on the detachment, Needham does not foresee a huge shift in the way business is done at the Highway 7 offices. “There won’t be any huge changes. We run a pretty well run detachment here,� said Needham, though he admits that there are “minor adjustments that we have to make,� with the Perth Police Service’s amalgamation, which occurred last April. “(But) I’ll make changes if we have to,� said Needham. In his spare time, he enjoys cycling and martial arts. “I love cycling. Lanark County has some beautiful roads,� said Needham. As for his martial arts, he likes to mix it up a bit, pursuing both karate and mixed martial arts.

“The karate is great for the mind and the body,� he said. “It is a great way to unwind. It’s a great hobby.� As for mixed martial arts, he has only been in one competition, an exhibition ring fight – which he lost on points, but which he also called, “a good experience.�

Needham is quick to stress that he truly enjoys working in Lanark County, and an experience that very morning in the grocery store across the road drove that point home to him. As he perused the produce, an old lady noticed his police uniform and told him, “make sure you pick something healthy.� “Now, where else would you get that, except Lanark County?� he asked with a smile. “Because we (our officers) are plugged into the community, people are not hesitant to approach us.� For any of the community events going on in the county, usually sports, he boasted that “chances are I have at least one officers involved in that. They (the public) get to know officers, personally, and not just in uniform.�

Jumping into the deep end on Welcome Back Sunday By CANON CHRISTINE PIPER Religion Today

News – “Whoever comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and even life itself, cannot be my disciple.” (Luke 14:26) On Welcome Back Sunday, which for us at the Anglican Church was last Sunday, we were confronted with this ‘in your face’ Gospel! This was certainly no call to take baby steps. Rather, it was a “jump into the deep end” kind of message. Jesus, it seems, was not into accepting followers who could not stay the course. It’s like he says to them, “Whoa! Being my disciple is no rose garden! It’s going to involve

hating one’s family!” What we don’t realize is that those who were into public speaking in Jesus’ time had tricks of the trade that were expected by their listeners. One such used technique was called hyperbole: using the trick of exaggeration to make a point. What Jesus was trying to do in saying that to be a disciple one needs to hate one’s family was to make a very real point about priorities; those who follow him are called to put him first - before family, home, hobbies and animals. Just reading the book of Acts and Paul’s letters shows us that many early Christian disciples left family and home to be on the road witnessing to the good news of

the Kingdom. And of course, Jesus speaks indirectly of what he himself is doing, preaching and acting out the Gospel of Love as he journeys into Jerusalem. He is entering a hornets’ nest to go into that city where the religious and civil authorities would despise and be threatened by his counter cultural call to accept all those who were lowest on the totem pole of his society. As he challenged the social and religious purity codes of his time, Jesus was putting his life out there into the balance. And it helps to remember that Luke wrote his Gospel several decades after Jesus’ death on the cross when the per-

secution of Christians was happening throughout the Roman Empire. This won’t be a rose garden, Jesus warns, you may be called to lose your life! This surely gives us pause to reflect that following Jesus isn’t some ‘nicey nicey’ middle class reality. It isn’t a cultural adaptation. Rather, it can turn our lives upside down; we can find ourselves facing the most wrenching actions and decisions. So what am I saying to folks in this new season? I’m saying that being a Christian, to try to love as Jesus loves, can be a deeply demanding call ... it can challenge us to the depth of our being.

This is Blue Wings country E

ditorial – If last Friday night’s pre-season game was any indication of what this hockey season will be like in Perth, then get ready for a ride of a lifetime. More than 400 fans clambered for a seat, and not just any seat, but a former NBL stadium seat, to watch the new Perth Blue Wings take to the ice against the Athens Aeros in an exhibition game. Well done Michael McLean – and the rest of the people behind the scenes who pulled off this major coup in Perth. McLean, who purchased the Jr. B Blue Wings earlier this year, has never had any doubt that his plan wouldn’t fly – some $300,000 later. He got town council on board – Mayor John Fenik has even got his season’s tickets in hand and plans to bring out the neighbouring mayors this week to have a look at the newly revamped arena, and possibly take in Friday’s opener, which will see some fun happening in the parking lot with a tailgate party and barbecue. McLean has been diligent in his marketing strategies – from the controversial Hansen Brothers advertisement a few months ago looking for a few good men to put on the foil – to his own blood, sweat and probably tears, as he watched the transformation with the giddy excitement of a child at Christmas. A recent tour of the Perth arena showed off all he’s done for this community. He’s got the backing of sponsors showing financial support; he’s got a great team behind the bench, including his former trainer, Rusty Graham, who was with McLean when he was the coach of the Smiths Falls Jr. A Bears. Now, players from other teams have been

trying to solicit the Perth skate man to put an edge on their blades. McLean’s also got a great team of marketing specialists and now, he’s got the players… albeit the final roster hasn’t been chosen yet, but he had some 50 guys from whom to choose. Anyone who steps one foot inside the arena now is ultimately hooked – not just on the light show or the new boards or seating, but on the atmosphere. There is something in the air that certainly yells, ‘This is Blue Wings Country,’ to which the laser light show will attest. But these new and old players, both rookies and vets, haven’t even stepped foot inside the new dressing room yet. Not until they’ve made the team, says their assistant coach, Colin Glenn. The boys have to show their commitment – be that from the sidelines in their shirts and ties as they cheer on their teammates, during practice upon practice, drills and more drills, or on the ice as they bust a sweat to crack the lineup. The dressing room, which is about four times larger than their former cramped quarters on the ground floor of the arena, is now a sprawling space of importance on the second floor, overlooking the ice surface. It’s where mental training will take place, new friendships will be formed, food will be consumed with great vigor, plays will be formulated, video replays will be pored over and boys will become men. It’s in this space that the newly revamped Blue Wings will gel as a team, and as friends. The Perth arena will be a place where greatness is made. Who doesn’t want to watch this soon-to-be-the ultimate season unfold? See you at the arena.

Welcome back, Will Power Lifestyle - That’s it. I am never eating again. OK…that’s silly and irrational. A person has to eat. How about this: I’m never snacking again. I had to go shopping for some clothes. It seems, similar to my predicament in the spring, my autumn wardrobe has also shrunk. I hate that. I really must get that closet adjusted. There is something so darned annoying about outgrowing clothes when you are in your 40s. Outgrowing clothes, in my humble opinion, is only supposed to happen to children and pregnant women. I should not, at this stage, be wishing for those stretchy maternity waistbands, and yet I find that I am. One of the nicest things about those waistbands, aside from the obvious comfort factor, was the fact you could also tighten them up after the baby was born and while you were still shedding those pregnancy pounds. Now I am faced with the ridiculous non-pregnancy-related predicament of staring at my closet and having to decide whether to purge the things that don’t fit so well anymore so that I have more room for the larger-sized replacement items or keep everything and work hard to fit into it all again. (The latter ensures that finding something to wear will be a daily search-and-rescue operation as I attempt to shoehorn items in and out). Sigh. In my quest for some pants that don’t cut off circulation from the waist down (Ha! As if I still have a waist!) I encountered size ranges I have never had to try. How did this happen? Well, one can only say “Tomorrow I will start to eat better” so many times before it becomes meaningless. I know exactly the kind of food I should be eating, but I am too easily tempted by things I know I shouldn’t have.

Similarly, one can only say “Tomorrow I will exercise” so many times, too. I think I have used up every excuse in the book, now. Time to get moving. I know how to move. I have evidence of a STEPHANIE GRAY collapsed foot to prove it! Once again, I point the Finger of Blame at my old friends Meta Bolism and Will Power. (Because why would I blame myself? Isn’t that what we are supposed to do these days? Blame everyone but ourselves?) Meta Bolism still appears to have packed up and left town, and the only way I can see to find her is to get up off the couch and run/walk/cycle/swim/ etc. after her. Oh, and eat foods that won’t weigh me down while doing so. To accomplish this, it will be nice to have my buddy Will Power by my side. Will’s the one who stands around and yells at me. “Don’t eat that!” “Get your hands off those potato chips!” “No, you don’t need to order pizza, you need to make salad!” “Now go for a nice, long walk!” Regular readers may recall Will Power and I were going to get up early every day to exercise back in the spring. That worked pretty much as well as I figured it would. (Fail.) Will disappeared again over the summer, but I found him today while trying on clothes in a dressing room with mirrors showing front and rear views. As I stepped into a skirt bearing a size bigger than anything I have ever worn before (new territory, folks!), Will Power was right there behind me, mouth open just like in Edvard Munch’s painting, The Scream. A picture is worth a thousand words. I think I’ll use The Scream as the wallpaper on my phone and computer and, perhaps, on the inside of my cupboards and fridge.

Turtle struggles after being hit

Reader warns of Cato Institute’s bias The Cato Institute is opposed to public education, public transit, public health care (especially our universal health care), Social Security (Canada Pension Plan/Old Age Security here in Canada). And the list goes on and on. The Cato Institute is so far out of the mainstream of public policy groups in the United States that it has to fund many conferences there and around the world in order to spread its toxic messages. It is perhaps reasonable to assume that there is a major financial involvement of the Cato Institute in the conference in Ottawa. One would hope for better judgment on the part of our elected representatives. Doug Phillips Smiths Falls

To the Editor: Not long ago, while driving north on Highway 511 north of Perth, I could see a large object in the middle of the road ahead of me. Approaching, I saw that it was the size of a large platter. I pulled over and when clear, I crossed to see a large turtle on

its shell, claws out and moving. I turned it over to see a huge deep gash in its shell. Obviously, it was in great distress. A passing driver stopped and with her shovel, we moved it onto her car mat and onto the roadside. We knew it was in pain and near death. Luckily, there was a veterinarian close by. We took it there

and he told us she had probably laid her eggs and in the great heat, was migrating. He kindly euthanized her, without fee. We, as drivers, should be alert to these great, quiet marsh creatures, that are just trying to fulfill their ecological cycle. Susan Wilkes Perth R0012269585_0822

One of the speakers is from the Cato Institute – an American libertarian “think tank�, initially funded by one of the infamous Koch brothers. The Cato wing-nuts have never met a regulation that they like. They are opposed to any attempt to provide for clean air, safe drinking water, controls on any financial institution, legal protection for minority groups, science-based public policy.

Company pushes throw away culture To the Editor: Perth Council has been asked to ban the sale of bottled water in municipal facilities. Nestle Waters of Canada, a major seller of bottled water, has responded (letter, Sept.5) by saying that water is a complicated issue and, therefore, Perth Council should take no action. It’s actually pretty simple even

though Nestles is trying to muddy the waters. Bottled water and, indeed, all sugared water is a significant source of global warming and environmental degradation as distributing heavy bottled water uses a lot of energy and our landfills and oceans are filled with plastic bottles and bags. We have to conserve our resources and use less energy if we are to live sustainably. In its

letter, Nestles completely ignores these issues as it tries to maintain a business model which contributes to our throw away culture. If we are to be a sustainable society, the use of throw away plastic bottles must be limited to special situations. They should not be in general use. Wolfe Erlichman Godfrey

New Stewart VP hopes for return of extra curricular activities By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – The Stewart School’s new vice principal is hoping to have most of the cancelled extra curricular activities back for the new school year. “We’re trying to bring back all of the things we didn’t do last year because of the labour relations issues,” said Kali Greene, during an interview in her new office on Friday, Sept. 6. Specifically, she has an eye towards returning the sports teams, as well as the Terrific Kids program supported by the Kiwanis Club, which promotes character education. A teacher for the past 18 years, Greene was caught by surprise at her promotion. “I was a little shocked,” she admitted. “I had looked at administration…but my own children are small, six and eight, so I was wary of the time commitments.” But while she is still settling in to her new office, having been picked from within the ranks of her fellow teachers at the school, certainly has its advantages. “It’s a good transition to have been a teacher in the school,” she said. “You know all of the students, you’ve built all of your relationships. You know the parents, which is huge. You know the community. They know you, you know them.” Her new role is not completely foreign to her either – she has acted as prin-

cipal pro tem in the past. “There were a lot of congratulations when I got the spot,” she said. This is Greene’s fourth year at the Stewart School. She spent 10 years at Drummond Central School in Drummond/North Elmsley Township. A native of Sudbury, Ont., she did her undergraduate studies at Laurentian University with a B.A. in psychology, and a certificate in gerontology. She attended teacher’s college at Nipissing University in North Bay. Greene already has a plan to make her mark as VP – marking and celebrating her students, her school, and the community, often through costumes. “My big thing is celebrating,” she said with obvious glee. “I love celebrating kids…I like big celebrations, dressing up.” She is already warning parents, kids, and teachers: “Get ready to celebrate! You have to have fun. If the staff doesn’t have fun, the kid’s won’t have fun. If the staff don’t want to be there, the kids won’t want to be there.” Her love of dressing up knows no bounds – she often dressed up as the Drummond school’s mascot, a bee, but she is unsure if she can pull off a stallion costume for good news assemblies. Regardless, “I won’t wait for Halloween!” Along with celebrating, and delving in to her own tickle trunk,

she will also be pushing students to espouse a positive attitude. “When you say something positive, it fills someone else’s bucket,” as well as your own, she explained. “When you say something negative, it empties someone else’s bucket, and your own.” These lessons are something she has tried to bring to each of her classrooms,

having taught grades one through eight, as well as special education work in Sudbury too, where her parents still live. However, her mother is from the Snow Road area, and so she still has family nearby. Another lesson that she is hoping to impart in the school is character education, rewarding students who may not

get top marks, but exhibit behaviour that makes life a little better, a little easier for everyone. “A caring student may not always get their homework done,” she points out.

ROSBOROUGH, Margaret (Currie) – November 2, 1936 - September 16, 2012. One year ago today we lost the most significant woman in our lives - treasured mother, mother-in-law, nanny, great nanny, sister, sister-in-law and mistress. No one knew when she went into the hospital in late August she would never return to her beloved family and home. She fought a hard battle but she just wanted to go to sleep - knowing in her heart she would be reunited with her “Johnnie”. Oh how she missed Dad. They say time heals but the pain of loss is as strong today as on the day we lost her. Mom lives on in all of us and we thank God we did have her for as long as we did. Loving and missing you always, Debbie, Cindy, Michael, JoAnne, Monty and Families

Since you’ll never be forgotten, I pledge to you today, A hallowed place within my heart, Is where you’ll always stay. Love your Fairy Godmother Corny

REGIONAL NEWS

Connected to your community

Stepping into the spotlight at recent MERA concert changed, its great to see live music now available at The Golden Arrow Pub & Eatery (previously the Crown & Thistle) in Perth. We’ve caught a couple of

father and son together but this evening brought not only father Chris on pedal steel, harmonica, guitar and trumpet but sister Jenny providing some vocals on a few and brother-in-law Joey Wright on mandolin and guitar throughout. Close family friend, Melwood Cutlery joined in on a George Jones song ‘She Thinks I Still Care’. Like I said, it was a rare occasion. Now Dan is a shy, quiet guy. He tends to speak through his instruments and in that light he filled the room all night. Whether on mandolin, guitar, vocals or harmonica he excelled. Playing a Willie P. Bennett song, ‘Country Squall’, opened the show followed by Charlie Sizemore’s ‘Really Gone’. Joey and Dan smoked the place with a mandolin duet of one of Joey’s ‘Big Baby’ and then ‘Tennessee Blues/Liza Jane’. I took a seat in the front row just so I could get a glimpse of the fingers at work and between Dan, Joey and also Chris on pedal steel I’ve got to say much was a blur. It was spellbinding playing. You could feel Dan’s shyness at the beginning but as things moved along and the comfort of the room and family swaddled him, his most inner self was exposed through his picking and harp blowing. He was definitely in the spotlight and he shone. Wonderful versions of ‘Wino The Clown’ by George Jones and Jenny joining on vocals of Chris’ song ‘Take Your Time and Do It Right’ kept the show in the stratosphere. Jenny also joined Dan on ‘Halls of Folsom’ and a spine tingling a cappella duet of the gospel tune, ‘Willin’ To Try’. Dan shared he’d played in a jazz band with his dad for 10 years and together they played ‘Nearness of You’, a Hoagy Carmichael tune with Dan playing Chris’ sweet sounding Joe Pass Signature hollow body guitar which added a vintage, classic sound. I’m sure the venue mystique only added to the offering of such timeless, well played tunes. Thanks everyone who made this evening a memorable one. Check out MERA’s website (www.meraschoolhouse.org) for some more great upcoming shows. Though the name has

Lifestyle – It was like stepping back in time as we ran from the dryness of our car through the pouring rain and stepped, like the thousands before us over the years, into the security of MERA (McDonald’s Corners/Elphin Recreation and Arts) run historic McDonald’s Corners Schoolhouse, built around 1860. Rural community buildings like this were used for all sorts of gatherings of the local populace besides the educational origins and it was for one of these noneducational but enchanting evenings of music that we scurried into the schoolhouse, welcoming its dryness and seeping history as well as the camaraderie of others organizing and attending. You can’t help noticing the well-worn hardwood floors throughout, wood panel walls, chain hung lights and a large wooden spinning wheel perched in reverence atop an ancient upright piano overseeing the concert room. Historically themed quilts and weavings grace the walls as we settle to take in a rare occurrence. We often become familiar with music groups via their front performers, rarely hearing much of the backing musicians. Multi-instrumentalist Dan Whiteley is one of those “behind the scenes� or usual backing sidemen who share their talents to make someone else sound just that much better. A member of one of Canada’s most notable musical clans, he is multiple Juno awardwinning Jenny Whiteley’s and Toronto keyboardist, Jesse’s brother, blues veteran Chris Whiteley’s son and blues/gospel balladeer Ken Whiteley’s nephew. Growing up in a musical household he got an early start recording with his sister Jenny on Raffi and their father Chris and uncle Ken’s discs before Jenny and Dan formed the 1998 Juno nominated bluegrass group Heartbreak Hill whom I had the privilege of seeing at Festival of Friends in Hamilton on a couple of occasions. Over the years, Dan has played “behind the scenes� for Fathead, Prairie Oyster, Amy Milan, Luther Wright, Jenny Whiteley, Joey Wright (his brother-in-law) to name but a few. I point out the “behind the scenes� usual location of Dan because that’s what made this evening even more special. Dan was stepping into the spotlight to promote his new CD aptly titled “Out of the Spotlight�. Even more special was Dan’s guests as it’s not often we get to hear

Explore Alpha program this fall in Lanark Village News – The churches of Lanark Village are co-operating in their sponsorship of the Alpha Program this fall in Lanark Village. Alpha courses have been attended by over 22 million people in 169 countries around the world. The study lasts for 10 weeks and includes the Alpha dinner followed by a video and a small group discussion of the evening’s topic. The Alpha course is your opportunity to explore the Christian faith. No question is too simple, too tough or too out-there. Over 10 weeks you can expect relevant topics, relatable hosts,

and a relaxed environment. Each session begins with a meal, providing an opportunity to get to know others in a casual setting. This is followed by a short video talk, which examines a different aspect of the Christian faith each week, then open discussion. Some of the questions we’ll explore are: Is there more to life than this? How does God guide us? Who is Jesus? Why and how do I pray? How can I develop a relationship with God? What about the Church? Alpha is an established global ministry, engaging people wherever they are on their journey. The course will run for on Tues-

day evening for 10 weeks with one Friday evening and Saturday as well. You don’t have to come to the whole course – pop in for the first night and see what you think. No pressure. Come and share Tuesday evenings this fall, starting Sept. 17 at 6:30 p.m. The course is being held at Providence Point, 67 Paul Dr. in Lanark Village.

Teacher trained to present climate facts News – This summer 101 Canadians were nominated to take part in a formal training offered by Al Gore, former Vice-President of the United States, and Nobel Laureate through The Climate Reality Project. The Canadian delegation joined over 1,200 volunteer presenters from 77 countries, on July 29-August 1, in Chicago, Illinois. Lanark County resident Anita Payne was excited to be nominated and accepted for the training. Payne is a recently retired high school science teacher who has moved back to the area after living and working in Stratford, Ontario for over a decade. She is encouraged by what she learned during the training and inspired by the diverse group of people that took part. The climate trainees come from all walks of life and all ages. Each one has their own reason for becoming a climate crusader. Their stories range from experiencing the severe heat wave in Europe in 2003 that killed 35 000 people to parents and grand-

parents coming to realize that we are not passing on a world that will be kind to our children and grandchildren. Climate change is already happening. We are experiencing more and more heat waves, droughts, massive fires, severe storms and floods. In short we are experiencing an unprecedented number of unprecedented weather events. However we can still be optimistic; there is still time to prevent or mitigate the worst effects of climate change. The Climate Reality training included three very full days with experts in communications, business and of course climate science. This provided the trainee presenters with the tools necessary to deliver informative and motivating presentations on the impacts of, and solutions to the climate crisis. Each presenter has committed to deliver a minimum of 10 free presentations on climate change in the next year. Anita Payne is available to give presentations geared to businesses, municipalities, community

groups, schools and anyone else who is interested. Contact her at 613-267-0881 or payanita@gmail.com. About The Climate Reality Project Besides training presenters, The Climate Reality Project has a number of initiatives to inform everyone about the reality of the climate crisis. Put the Heat on Denial provides the scientific facts to refute claims made by climate deniers. This year will be the third 24 Hours of Reality event. Last year this was a series of video interviews from around the world during a 24 hour period illustrating dirty weather. These are still available on the website http://climaterealityproject.org/. This year 24 Hours of Reality will be on October 22 with the theme “The Cost of Carbon: Make Polluters Pay”. The I Am Pro Snow initiative involves top winter sports athletes as climate ambassadors who speak out on how shorter, milder winters are affecting their sports and the businesses that depend on

snow. What I Love is a soon to be launched site that will show viewers how things in their everyday life are being affected by climate change. About The Climate Reality Project Canada Climate Reality Canada is a non-profit organization that serves as the Canadian component of a global movement of more than 6,000 dedicated volunteers. The Canadian Climate Reality presenters have already reached over 500 000 people. This success is due not only to the dedication of the presenters but also to the support of Climate Reality Canada’s partners. These include BLJC, CN, Desjardins General Insurance and the Government of Quebec. In addition, a strategic partnership with the David Suzuki Foundation, a like minded organization committed to raising awareness on climate change issues, has enabled Climate Reality Canada to achieve many goals.

Community comes together News – Mark your calendars for Thursday, Sept. 26. Transition Perth is very excited to be hosting a unique community meeting at the Perth Legion, 26 Beckwith St. E. Sponsored by the Town of Perth, the evening will focus on building resilience in Perth and area. Resilience is our ability to respond constructively to changes and challenges in our world. Imagine everyone being secure, even if oil becomes too expensive to use excessively or if economic uncertainty affects us on a larger scale. Imagine everyone being healthy, even if the cost of food continues to increase or changes in our climate become more pronounced. Imagine everyone being happy, even in light of current downsizing trends or some forms of employment becoming scarcer. Potentially we could create local sources for energy, food security, trans-

portation, and meaningful employment. We could choose to respond constructively to many of these changes and challenges, and celebrate together how our community adapted! Each of us holds parts of the knowledge, skills, vision, and enthusiasm to secure the future of our community. Together, Let’s Talk Resilience on Sept. 26 at the Perth Legion! Everyone is invited to participate in this engaging and interactive evening. Mix and mingle, and light snacks at 6 p.m. Meeting officially starts at 7 p.m. Let’s share some food, exchange ideas, and explore some potential action plans toward building resilience in Perth and area. Let’s Talk Resilience is hosted by Transition Perth and sponsored by the Town of Perth. For more information on the event, e-mail us at contact@transitionperth. ca, or call Jennifer Martine Druker at 613 267-9949.

News – From grandmother to grandmother, despite an ocean in between, the Grassroot Grannies, one of more than 250 different granny groups across Canada, believe in supporting other grandmothers in need. “We feel so fortunate to live in Canada,” said Nancy Hough, a group member. The group supports the Grandmother to Grandmother campaign, which was started by the Stephen Lewis Foundation. The campaign helps African grandmothers who have buried their own children because of HIV/AIDS and then struggled to raise orphaned grandchildren alone. Hough said she sympathizes with the grandmothers the group supports because she knows how much energy it takes to care for a young child. She said taking her grandchildren for a few days is nice, but then she gets to send them home to their parents. The grandmothers in need don’t have that option. The Grassroot Grannies believe in maintaining solidarity amongst grandmothers. “As we get older, we have more time to give back,” said Hough. The reason the group supports the foundation is because 90 per cent of the funds raised go to the projects, meaning there is very little overhead. Since 2003, the foundation has supported over 300 projects in 15 countries. One of the members, Lina Woods, went to Africa last year to volunteer in the Hillcrest AIDS Centre. “I was able to see that the money we send benefits the people,” said Woods. Woods said there were sewing machines at the centre, purchased with money from the foundation, being used to make school uniforms for children. She said the grandmothers were also being taught to knit, cook, garden and do bead work. “Their philosophy is to create income-generating projects, not just to give money,” said Woods. Woods said there is so much stigma surrounding AIDS. “I had all kinds of nice experiences while there,” said Woods. She said it is rewarding to see the

African grandmothers, as they become stronger themselves, begin to help other people in their own communities. “Unfortunately, some of the grandmothers are dying and kids are becoming the head of the household,” said Woods. “We have it so good here.” The group raised about $43,000 for the foundation by doing a three-day bike tour fundraiser, called the Ride to Turn the Tide, which stopped in Merrickville on Sept. 5. People have been donating to the cause since July by going to www. grassrootgrannies.com. “The vision for this ride came from a granny group out West that does a similar ride,” said Hough. “My husband and I met two women from that group while vacationing in Cuba. That’s where I got the idea to start a ride of our own.” The event consisted of 22 cyclists, all members of the group, although not all grandmothers. Each participant paid for their own accommodations and food during the trip, so all fundraising proceeds went to the foundation. This is the fourth year the group stopped at the Merrickville United Church, where all the members were served lunch, during the ride. The tour began in Kanata on Sept. 4 and passed through Ashton, Appleton and Almonte. The group spent the night in Perth, after cycling 95 kilometers. In the morning, the group left for Merrickville and continued on to Metcalfe, completing the longest leg of the trip, totalling 115 kilometers. On Sept. 6, the group travelled from Metcalfe, back to Kanata, finishing off the remaining 55 kilometers of the tour. The ride had four corporate sponsors; realtor Joan Smith, funeral home owner Brian McGarry, financial advisor Renaldo Saikali and owner of Bushtukah in Kanata Bob Laughton. A volunteer of the Merrickville United Church, Lee Davidson, said they are always happy to see the Grassroot Grannies rolling through town for a good cause. “It’s wonderful to see them come in,” said Davidson. “We get to know each of them a little better each year.” If you wish to donate to the cause, please visit the above mentioned website to do so.

Young talent embraces every opportunity By HOWAIDA SOROUR hsorour@perfprint.ca

News – Lombardy resident Amanda Jordan, just 17 years old, made it into the top 10 at Ottawa Idol, and now gets to work with her fellow top 10 contestants on a concert that will be performed at a major venue in Ottawa in the spring. “She will be starting to rehearse with our Idol band for our Christmas Concert and our Red Carpet in May, this makes all the vocalists into real singers when they get to rehearse with a band and perform in our concerts,” said Eldon J. Fox, founder and executive producer of Ottawa Idol. The Canterbury High School vocals student will also be appearing in a Rogers TV series which airs in the next couple of weeks where she and seven other performers sing their original works and are interviewed in half-hour shows. “Amanda was very prepared for our show and delivered an excellent performance,” said Steve Gingras, Rogers Community Television producer and show creator. “Her interview segment also went well.” Jordan says she started singing when she was just three years old, and has never stopped. Now she takes every opportunity she can to audition and perform. “It’s really fun, and you really learn from the exposure,” says Jordan. To enter the Ottawa Idol competition, Jordan had to sing one a cappella song, and one with instrumentals behind her at Merivale Mall. Three days later she had made the top 22 and a week later had to

perform again for the second round of cuts for the top 10. “Once I made it into the top 10, the next day was the next elimination round for the top five, I didn’t make it,” said Jordan. As nerve racking as the auditions can be, Jordan highly recommends the process. “I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to perform,” she said. “Even though it’s scary to audition, taking the risk helps you get over your nerves and if it’s what you love to do then you need to take the risk to become a better performer.” It’s that attitude as much as her talent that gets Jordan noticed. Her willingness to learn and work at her craft is getting her the attention she needs to keep growing. “Amanda will be a different person this time next year as far as performing on stage and bringing out her great voice with a lot more confidence,” said Fox. “She is a beautiful young lady, with great physical appearance on stage, always dressed for the song she is singing, much like Taylor Swift.” Although Jordan is mostly focused on singing and performing she also writes some of her own songs. “I occasionally write songs when something really hits me,” Jordan said. Something certainly moved her, when she met the Curvy Girls, a scoliosis support group for teenagers in 2011. Jordan had just performed a song for the CTV CHEO telethon, and the Curvy Girls were one right after her, apparently the meeting left quite an impression on

Jordan. “She said she wanted to write a song for us, and she performed it at one of our support meetings,” said Andrea Lebel, adult leader with Curvy Girls. The song “Got your Back” was so well received by the Curvy Girls, they asked Jordan to perform it at the scoliosis annual awareness walk in June 2013. Submitted photo “We’d also like to invite her to the Curvy Girls International Scoliosis Con- Lombardy’s Amanda Jordan, (centre with guitar) is pictured with the vention to be held in June 2014 – but Curvy Girls, a scoliosis support group for whom she has written a song. we’re still fundraising for that. Our goal She was recently named in the top 10 of the Ottawa Idol competition. is to have Amanda share her song with all our scoliosis members,” said Lebel. She might not write a lot of songs, but the ones she has written so far are garnering positive reviews. “The quality of her song writing abilHeritage TravelPlus ity is amazing for her age. The Rog80 Dufferin Street, Unit P, Perth ers producer we worked with was also impressed with her song writing,” said www.travelplus.ca/1038 Gingras. A wonderfully articulate young lady, she knows that music will always play a role in her life but at 17 she’s not entirely sure just how much of a role yet. “I might be studying music at Ottawa invite you for an University when I finish school,” said Information Night Jordan. “I mean, I love music but I’m also interested in psychology.” September 24 - 7:00 p.m.

Former Perth police cruiser donated to Algonquin College Old car gets new home

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Whenever a police cruiser shows up, it’s seldom for a happy reason. But when a former Perth Police Service cruiser arrived at the Perth campus of Algonquin College on the first day of school, it was welcomed with open arms by students and staff. The Town of Perth and the town’s police services board donated the cruiser to the college as it was disposing of the assets of the former police service, which was amalgamated with the OPP in April. Back when news of the merger’s approval was spreading, Brian Duffy, then coordinator of the police foundations program at the Perth campus, wondered “What are they going to do with all of their excess cruisers?” Little did he know that they would be the beneficiary of the dispersed assets. “The purpose of the car is (for it) to be used as a resource, experiential learning, to have an experience with a real life cruiser,” said Gerry Salisbury, the former detachment commander for the Lanark County OPP who oversaw the merger, and who is now the police foundations coordinator for the Perth campus. “It still has lights, (and)

a radio that we will hook up to the Algonquin system,” he said of the 2007 Dodge Charger. Salisbury promised that the cruiser would be available for the Santa Claus parade and Maplefest, when his students help the OPP with crowd control and patrolling. “(It’s) a teaching tool, and as a marketing tool for us,” said Duffy, now the acting academic chair, during a joint interview on Monday, Sept. 9. “It’s a visibility tool because it is a new program.” Had it not been for the town’s donation, the college may have had to raid the scrap yard, or repurpose an old taxi. So, to see a cruiser that had been on the road, on active duty, as recently as earlier this year, now being used by his students, is quite the sight to see for Salisbury. “I don’t know if surreal is the word,” he said. “It is exciting. The officers will be excited to see it being put to good use.” Although he is teaching a new generation, being back in a college classroom for the first time in many years as part of the learning process, Salisbury admitted, with his trademark smile, “I’ve been learning a lot,” as he sat, dressed in a sweater and pants, an odd look for a man usually seen in his police uniform.

Sports – Deer in the headlights‌ that’s what the rookie Perth Jr. B Blue Wings looked like – according to their assistant coach Colin Glenn – Friday night when they opened the doors on a new Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League season with a weekend of exhibition games. As the boys warmed up on the ice – in front of some 426 fans, a number practically unheard of in Junior B hockey – those who weren’t on the night’s roster, watched from the sidelines. As the Zamboni quietly chugged around the ice surface, a laser light show pierced the darkness highlighting the fact that this was Perth Blue Wings Country, while music flowed from the new sound system – not a crackle to be heard. Most of the new seats were filled with fans as they got a “tasteâ€? of what will be unveiled Friday night, when the Blue Wings host Renfrew in their home opener. “They were so nervous,â€? Glenn said of the rookies Friday night, who added that it took the boys about two periods to calm their nerves as they played host to the Athens Aeros of the Rideau/St. Lawrence Division. Perth ended up on the losing end of the 8-6 rally. “We’ve got a lot of rookies in the lineup right now. Friday night we went with a bit of a mix – veteran/rookie team,â€? Glenn said. Saturday was a little better showing, as the Blue Wings were in Westport for an afternoon match against the Rideaus. “Surprising Saturday, we went with a lot of rookies – a rookie netminder, and we came out on top,â€? Glenn said, as Perth earned the 4-3 win. Sunday, it was another mixed bag of players on the ice, and another loss to the Aeros, this time, 7-6. “We’re putting guys in different situations. Now’s the time to play around a little bit to see what you have,â€? Glenn said. “It would be nice to win all three, but it’s just the way it worked.â€? Now the bench boss can see what’s shaking out on the ice. Glenn controlled the team on his own during pre-season, as owner/head coach Mike McLean awaits the home opener on Friday night against Renfrew Timberwolves to make his appearance. “They’re working hard. Unfortunately, we can’t keep them all. We have had some guys who have not reported yet due to work commitments. It will be about three weeks before we have solidified the lineup.â€? Glenn said they have cut 11 players in total, but he can’t let anything out yet as to who has made the team so far. There were 52 out for camp at the end of August, and they are now down to about 30. “Perth’s been around for a long time, but this year it was just like staring over. We wanted to go with a clean slate this

year. We went with a couple trades here and there. I don’t think we are ever going to be totally happy. If we see or hear of somebody, we want to see how they play,â€? he said. “We changed our game plan a little bit too on Saturday,â€? Glenn said. “Maybe we expected too much on Friday night and were too aggressive, but on Saturday, we toned it down a little bit and it seemed to work.â€? As for the fans, Glenn said they gave everybody a little taste of what home games are going to be like last Friday night. But they are going to get the full flavour on Friday at the home opener (Sept. 13). “I don’t want to say too, too much, but it’s going to be exciting,â€? he said. “We won’t have a final lineup but we do have a lineup for Friday. I expect with the weekend, there will be a bit of at trade frenzy going on. But if I get an offer and we can tweak the lineup a little bit, then I will,â€? Glenn added. The assistant coach says he’s optimistic and excited to see the new season unfold. “I see us pushing hard, once the boys buy into our system, it will be exciting to see the outcome. No one wins a championship in September.â€? And none of the boys have seen the new dressing room yet. “No one has earned that right yet,â€? he said. “They have to make the team first, but come Friday night, when they walk into that dressing room, there will be a lot of oohs and aaahs because that dressing room is pretty spectacular.

The Perth Jr. B Blue Wings tangled with two top Rideau Division teams in pre-season action last weekend, including two games each against the Westport Rideaus and the Athens Aeros (pictured here from Friday, Sept. 5 at the Perth arena). The Blue Wings recorded one win but were able to see some mixes and matches on the ice and how well the speciality lines were working. Friday is the home opener, 7:30 p.m. against Renfrew, and fans are encouraged to enjoy a tailgate party starting at 4 p.m. with a barbecue and prize giveaways.

Staff at the Perth Royal Bank of Canada branch on Gore Street East gather round to donate a cheque for $750 to the Perth splash pad committee on Friday, Sept. 6. They were joined by Casey Buchanan, the town’s economic development coordinator.

Sports – If you wondered why staff were away from their desks at the Lanark Highlands Township municipal offices on Friday, Sept. 6, they had taken to the Timber Run Golf Club for an afternoon of golf. Terry Donaldson, parks and recreation manager for the township, gives it all he’s got as he drives off into the wild blue yonder.

Silver screen dollars donated back to splash pad By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Business – Why do you go to a bank? Because that’s where the money is. Erin Borthwick of the Perth splash pad committee and her felPhotos by DESMOND DEVOY low members knew this, which is why they were to be found at the

Royal Bank of Canada’s Perth branch on Friday, Sept. 6, to accept a donation for $750 towards the Conlon Farm splash pad. RBC was one of several in-town filming locations for an upcoming CBC mini-series last month. The production company paid the bank for use of its location that day, and

the bank chose to donate that money to a local, worthy cause. Another Perth financial firm, Edward Jones Investments, was given money as well, for turning its offices into a make-believe reelection headquarters for a sitting MP. They will also be donating the money back to the community in

the near future, according to Casey Buchanan, the town’s economic development coordinator. When the mini-series, Best Laid Plans, airs this January, look for Janet Eckersley, holding the cheque on the left.

News – It wasn’t back to school time for everyone last week. Members of the Lanark District Retired Teachers group marked the start of the school year with their annual “To Hell With the Bell,� brunch at the Timber Run Golf Club, Sept. 3. The former teachers marked their departure from the classroom with the ritual ringing of a traditional school bell. At left, Jane Dugdale, a newly-retired kindergarten teacher at the Queen Elizabeth School in Perth, passes the bell to Irene Kirkham who, at 95, was the most senior member present.

Wick Witch Candle Co. crafts up fragrant creations in Merrickville Business – Rather than the eye of newt and bat whiskers found in a traditional witches’ brew, a new sorceress in Merrickville is cooking up a different combination using fragrant oils and soy wax. Lianne Kulp-Aultman is the face behind Wick Witch Candle Co., which recently opened a new location in the heart of Merrickville within the historic Aaron Merrick building at 108 St. Lawrence Street. The block also houses the Yellow Canoe Café, Mirick’s Landing Country Store and Unraveled. Previously situated in Perth from May until August of this year, she made the move to the small village on Aug. 26. Wick Witch Candle Co. specializes in producing small batches of hand-poured 100 per cent all natural soy wax candles whose fragrant concoctions are an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional candles, right down to the stylish reusable containers. A creative soul who enjoys refinishing antique furniture and thrift shopping, this business seems like anything but a job to Kulp-Aultman. “It’s arts and crafts every day for work and that’s not work at all,” she commented. No stranger to Merrickville, having called it home a few years back, Kulp-Aultman jumped at the chance to return. “This space became available and I thought it would be a great opportunity to have a lot more exposure and traffic,” she said during a recent interview. “The locals in Perth were so supportive but I was missing out on tourist traffic from the main streets. It was too secluded a location.” And she has been welcomed back with open arms. “The reception has been good so far. Word is getting out and it’s still pretty new, but all of the

One of the newest businesses to open in Merrickville is Wick Witch Candle Co., which specializes in 100 per cent, all natural soy candles. Owned by Lianne Kulp-Aultman, the store is nestled within the historic Aaron Merrick building in the village. Above, Kulp-Aultman displays her eco-chic teacup candles. Above right, the interior of the shop transports customers into a vintage setting. businesses in the building have been really supportive as well,” KulpAultman remarked. Stepping into Wick Witch’s intimate boutique, customers are immediately transported into a vintage

setting, complete with whimsical lighting antique fixtures which proudly display the lovingly crafted candles, available in 14-ounce apothecary style, eight-ounce rustic mason, six-pack tealights and

flameless wax melters, as well as individual votives. One also can’t miss the wall of antique teacups in store, one of the most unique aspects to Wick Witch. Due to the low burning point of soy wax, the fine bone china of the treasured teacups makes the perfect vessel for an elegant candle. KulpAultman offers pre-made up-cycled teacup candles or clients can bring in their own (or a treasured jar) and have it paired with their favourite smell. “I like doing (custom candles) in a customer’s favourite teacup, jar or container because it personalizes it. I think that people also enjoy being able to interact with the crafter making the product,” KulpAultman stated. “It’s not from some big warehouse, you can see it being made onsite and it’s positive for the environment.” Those teacups also take on another life as a garden candle on a copper tube, which can also be purchased in store. Kulp-Aultman uses a natural citronella scent to keep bugs at bay and once it has finished

burning, the cup can be wiped clean with soapy water and transforms into a bird feeder. Kulp-Aultman said she has perfected an abundance of 21 scents and there’s something for everyone. There’s no question that the bestselling fragrance is Wick Witch’s signature Bad Witch, a sensual and spellbinding aroma featuring patchouli, sandalwood, musk, amber and sage, mixed with the fruity clementine and mango. “I have to pour Bad Witch almost every day to keep up with demand,” she said. Its sister scent is the lighter Good Witch, a romantic infusion of citrus tones, violet flower and sweet grass. Other popular fragrances include Ginger Lime, Clementine & Green Tea, Woodland Willow, Maple Sugar, Orange Pekoe, Warm Vanilla Sugar and Minty Green. She recently unveiled her fall 2013 scents: Chutney Spice, featuring pumpkin, apple and clove; Ginger Nutmeg, reminiscent of a See WICK WITCH page 38

OPP seeing steady drop in Labour Day weekend traffic deaths

ginger molasses cookie; as well as warm and inviting Cinnamon Cider. Kulp-Aultman said she is also currently preparing her Christmas line which will feature mistletoe and peppermint smells. Long road In six years, the Toledo native has come a long way from making candles just a few short blocks away on Lewis Street to opening her own business. “I was selling candles off my front porch on the weekends when I lived here in Merrickville,” Kulp-Aultman commented. “I’ve had people come up to me and say that they’d been searching for me and can’t believe that I’m back in Merrickville.” Her passion for soy candles developed while working as a flight attendant with Zoom Airlines. “When I was flying around with Zoom, I fell in love with a brand on the west coast and when I came back to Ontario, I couldn’t find it or anything like it,” she recalled. So she did the next best thing and decided to make her own. “I started by ordering five pounds of (soy) wax at a time, experimenting and trying to make my own, now I’m up to ordering 500!” She decided to turn it into a business when, after six years with the company, Zoom went

While taking small business courses, perfecting her scents, candle blends and packaging, Kulp-Aultman was a regular on the local craft show circuit. “You make a lot of bad candles before you make a lot of good ones,” she joked. She has a passion for the candle making process and providing a product that is also environmentally responsible was important to her. There are many benefits to choosing soy candles, she pointed out. “I really like that soy is clean burning, lasts twice as long and is from a sustainable, renew-

able resource,” Kulp-Aultman explained. “The oils, wicks, everything is all natural and the candles are dye-free. There are no scary ingredients that you can’t pronounce.” “There’s the education aspect too. People still aren’t sold on soy because they don’t know the benefits of soy over traditional paraffin wax,” she added. “I’m trying to change that.” Wick Witch Candle Co. is open seven days a week, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, visit www.wickwitch.com or look for their page on Facebook.

News – With a busy 2013 Labour Day Long weekend behind them, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) reported three fatalities in OPP jurisdiction over the weekend, but they are relieved to see a steady decline in the number of Labour Day weekend traffic deaths. As part of their ongoing efforts to save lives, the OPP stepped up enforcement on highways, waterways and trails over the weekend and particular attention was being cast on motorists who were caught driving distracted. Sadly, a 16-year-old male died after being struck by a motor vehicle while he was skateboarding. A 41-yearold woman died in a motor vehicle collision after being ejected from the vehicle and another man (age unconfirmed) died when he lost control of his off-road ve-

hicle (ORV). “Despite the tragic loss of three lives this past weekend, when we look at the last five years, I am encouraged to see a 23 per cent decline in Labour Day weekend fatal road crashes in OPP jurisdiction and a 100 per cent drop in marine fatalities on OPP policed waterways,” said Chief Superintendent Don, Bell, Commander, OPP Highway Safety Division. “In contrast, Labour Day weekend ORV fatalities are up 25 per cent over the same five-year period and I encourage the ORV community to work with the OPP to reduce these numbers,” added Bell. “It was disappointing to see distracted drivers continue to pose a risk to road users this past weekend, with our officers laying 397 distracted driving charges compared to

107 impaired driving charges,” said Deputy Commissioner Larry Beechey, Provincial Commander, Traffic Safety and Operational Support. According to Beechey, aggressive driving continues to be a significant problem on long weekends and the Labour Day weekend was no exception with 6,078 speeding charges and 64 street racing charges being laid (for driving 50 km/h or more over the posted speed limit). Various other charges were laid, including 535 seat belt charges and a total of 87 Warn Range suspensions were issued to drivers with a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) in the 0.05 to 0.08 range (or 50 to 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood). Submitted by the Ontario Provincial Police.

In the next five months, preparation and planning for this campaign launch will take place. The chair of the ‘Caring for Our Community’ campaign is Richard M. Dumbrille of Maitland. He is joined on the campaign team by Sandra Lawn (Prescott); Craig McQuitty (retired Colonel – Canadian Forces, Ottawa, ON); Jim Fairfield (Brockville); Doug Labron (Brockville); and Margaret Wicklum (Brockville); with Jodi Wallace (St. John office administrator) and David Dargie (campaign coordinator) as support staff. “We have a strong campaign team that will be supplemented by the members of our brigade and our many friends and supporters throughout Leeds-Grenville and Lanark counties,” said Dargie. “We will be announcing our honourary R0012224644_0725

News – Jeff Shaver, (retired Lieutenant Colonel – Canadian Forces and former Commanding Officer of the Brockville Rifles), who is chair of the board of directors for the St. John Ambulance Branch of Leeds-Grenville & Lanark announced Sept. 6 that preliminary work has begun on a $350,000 capital campaign that will run from February 2014 to September 2014. The ‘Caring for Our Community’ capital campaign has a goal of raising $350,000 to be used for dissolving the current mortgage on St. John House and building an enclosure on the Abbott Street property to protect the brigade’s service vehicles from inclement weather. “By eliminating the debt on our home base – St. John House in Brockville, we will free up resources that can then be used for our operating costs,” Shaver stated. “Similarly, our building project will help our service vehicles be better prepared for deployment during the winter months and help to ensure a longer life for the vehicles.” Since 1959 the St. John Ambulance Brigade has been caring for the LeedsGrenville & Lanark communities. St. John Ambulance is a volunteer organization that receives no direct government funding. The local brigade has been honoured provincially two years in a row for their volunteer efforts, leading all Ontario St. John Ambulance branches in the number of volunteer hours per person. The local brigade provides: First Aid, CPR & AED training; medical first response services; therapy dog services; youth services; and car seat safety services. Shaver had previously announced that David Dargie has been appointed as campaign coordinator for the ‘Caring for Our Community’ capital campaign. “David Dargie has a deep history of fundraising in the local area, as well assuming leadership roles in large events such as the Ontario Senior Games, the Canada 55+ Games and The Great Waterway Classic,” Shaver observed. “His extensive network of people and organizations, plus his work in the local media as host of several cable television programs, will help raise our profile in the local communities.”

chairperson and the role that person will play in our campaign later in October. At the Valentine’s Day launch, we will reveal plans for a large scale event that will give many people a chance to enjoy themselves and in turn help support our capital campaign. Many opportunities to get in involved in our campaign will be offered to our local communities. Watch for more announcements later this fall!” Submitted by the St. John Ambulance Branch of Leeds-Grenville & Lanark.

Studio Theatre’s Old Love offers challenges to actors and laughter to audience edy couching a thought-provoking message about the human condition. As Tennant puts it, “What I like most about this play is how genuinely it reflects some relationships. I hope people laugh at the humour, but also walk away with a different perspective as to someone else’s relationships.� As for Grey Masson who plays Bud, he has his own reasons for liking this play. He says, “It’s very funny, very touching – and I get to kiss a girl.� Old Love runs Sept. 12, 13, 14, 20 and 21 at 8 p.m. with matinees Sept. 15 and 22 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance, from the Book Nook in Perth, $22 at the door or at Tickets Please (credit cards accepted).

Arts – If you’ve ever done any acting, you’ll know it is as demanding art. On top of memorizing pages of lines, the actor must put his own personality aside and try and inhabit the skin of another person for several hours. Not an easy undertaking. So imagine what it is like for the actors in the Perth Studio Theatre’s opening production of Old Love who must be two or more characters during the course of one play. On the surface, this story by Norm Foster seems straightforward enough. Bud meets Molly, the boss’s wife, falls in love with her, but for 25 years is forced to worship from afar. He marries, but is eventually divorced. Then Molly’s husband dies and the door is open for Bud to renew his romantic pursuit. Seems like an uncomplicated plot. But hey, we’re talking Norm Foster here, the playwright whose quirky sense of humour has made him a favourite of theatre companies and audiences across Canada and the US. The story is told through a series of flashbacks, meaning we see Bud and Molly at various ages along with a parade of characters from their past: Arthur, Molly’s now dead husband; Kitty, his ex-wife; Arthur Jr., his son; Kendra, Arthur Jr.’s wife; a sarcastic secretary, and three girlfriends from Bud’s post marital past. So where does Foster start Bud’s renewed pursuit of Molly’s affection? Why Arthur’s funeral, of course. Foster allows the cast to be made up of two, four or seven actors. Veteran director David Parry has opted to use four actors. Grey Masson plays Bud Mitchell, who used to work for Arthur until Arthur sold the company. Bud stayed on and is now the boss of the company. Jennifer Pfizer plays Molly Graham, Arthur’s wife, now pursued by Bud. Lucas Tennant plays Arthur, Molly’s philandering husband, and also, Arthur Jr., Arthur and Molly’s son, a shy fellow, married to Kendra. While Juli Heney doesn’t play one of the main characters, she makes up for it in quantity and variety of minor characters. She plays not only Kitty, Bud’s ambitious, social-climbing wife, but Kendra, Arthur Jr.’s domineering wife; Shirley, Arthur’s and Bud’s secretary; and Claire, Delores and Sandra, Bud’s girlfriends. A challenge? Definitely. Says Jenny Pfitzer who plays Molly, “Depicting

The Studio Theatre in Perth is getting set for its opening production of the season, Norm Foster’s Old Love, which will run from Sept. 12, 13, 14, 20 and 21 at 8 p.m. with matinees on Sept. 15 and 22 at 2 p.m. Above, Lucas Tennant and Juli Heney rehearse a scene. the passage of time clearly and credibly is as interesting as it is challenging. Over a span of over 30 years, we will see Molly and her relationships evolve as the various vignettes are played out. She will run through a virtual rainbow of emotions and attitudes. She will be happy, sad, sarcastic, wistful, scared, brash, sardonic, angry, caustic and gentle... to name but a few.� The others agree. Lucas Tennant (Arthur and Arthur Jr.) finds the change in personality of his characters particularly challenging. “One is

a self obsessed business tycoon who believes he’s suave but really it’s his money that makes him desirable,� he said. “And the second character is so much a push over he has to ask others what it is he should be feeling. It’s incredible fun to explore the depths each one will sink to as they interact with others. I’m actually looking forward to being hated as the first character,� Tennant added. Like most Foster plays Old Love is a delightful mixture of hilarious com-

Sons of Anarchy star Charlie Hunnam to visit Hawkesbury Harley dealership Sept. 14 By THERESA FRITZ theresa.fritz@metroland.com

Community – It will be 50 shades of anarchy in Hawkesbury Sept. 1415. That’s when Charlie Hunnam, star of the FX television show Sons of Anarchy and newly named to play Christian Grey in the movie adaptation of E.L. James 50 Shades of Grey, visits Goulet Motorsports HarleyDavidson in the eastern Ontario community. Hunnam’s first time visit to the community follows sold-out visits from former Sons cast member Ryan Hurst (Opie) in March and current cast member Tommy Flannagan (Chibs) in June. Hunnam, 33, will be at Goulet Motorsports Sept. 14 from 5-10 p.m. for a meet and greet, autograph signing and dinner under a big tent outdoors. The cast visits to Hawkesbury are a partnership between Goulet Motorsports and Full Throttle Events. Full Throttle is a promotions company based in Lachute, Que. organizing exclusive meet and greet events with stars of the show. “It was an idea that I had when I first met the cast (of Sons of Anarchy) in Texas…they were excited about it,” explained John Younkie of Full Throttle Events. “And then we expanded it nationally. We travel all over Canada.” Younkie, who buys his motorcycles from Goulet Motorports, said the partnership with his home dealership was a natural thing. From there, the

Sons of Anarchy start Charlie Hunnam will be meeting fans at Goulet Motorsports in Hawkesbury Sept. 14 then he and two other castmates will be leading a fall motorcycle ride Sept. 15. VIP meet and greets expanded to other Harley dealerships across Canada. And the events attract patrons willing to pay anywhere from $125 to $250 for the chance to rub shoulders with their favourite television outlaws. “We have nothing but great reaction to these events,” Younkie said.

The events draw not only local residents, but also fans from Ottawa, Montreal and beyond. “They are a huge draw. This time, we have people coming from New York, we have a couple coming from Alaska, a couple from Boston…it is quite something,” Younkie com-

Sunday’s triple bill And while the Sept. 14 event is sold out, fans of the show need not despair. As a special add on, Hunnam’s castmates Flannagan and Mark Boone (Bobby) will join him Sept. 15 for a fall motorocycle ride. The ride cost $25 and will include a breakfast. Kickstands will go up at 11 a.m. for the scenic ride with the three actors riding as grand marshals for the event. After the ride, participants as well as the public are welcome back to Goulet Motorsports for lunch. The event will be licensed and music will be provided by Texarillo. Around 1 p.m. Hunnam and company will be available for photo sessions on a first come, first served basis. Younkie said this will mark the first time the three Sons stars are in Canada at the same time. The sixth season of Sons of Anarchy begins Sept. 10 with Hunnam reprising his role of Jax Teller, president of the outlaw motorcycle club’s Redwood Original Chapter. Boone is the vice-president of the club and Flannagan is the sergeant-at-arms. “We expected around 125 or 150 to take part in the ride. We have 580 people taking part,” he said. “All three (actors) will be onstage. Imagine the president, VP and secretary of SAMCRO (Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club Redwood Original) will be together. They will be there until 4 p.m. and then we have to get them back to the airport.” Goulet Motorsports is located at 189 John St. in Hawkesbury.

Rebuilt 1949 Hudson street rod on the road again! Lifestyle – Our phone rang. It was Eugene Barna calling to let me know that his son Peter was on his way from his home in Atikokan, Ontario, to Leamington, where he grew up, and he was driving his newly completed 1949 Hudson street rod – and would I like to see it when he rolls into town? “Yes! Yes! Yes!” was my reply. I had met Peter about three years ago when he rolled into town behind the wheel of his yellow street-rodded 1934 International pickup truck. At that time, he mentioned that he was working on a 1949 Hudson, and I said I hope to see it down here someday. That day arrived near the end of June 2013 when I drove over to his parents’ home here in town. The Hudson was parked in the driveway and facing the street. What a beauty! The gleaming Ruby Mica Pearl (’08 Sub-

aru colour), dazzling chrome, and big wide whitewall radial tires made the car look like a picture right out of a glossy magazine. I was treated to a drive around town as Peter told me the story behind the car. Another resident in Atikokan had purchased the car some time ago in Pinawa, Manitoba, a small town northeast of Winnipeg. It had been off the road for several years and was complete but needed a total rebuild. It was the Super Six model and still had its original flathead six engine. Peter purchased it and the fun began. He disassembled the

The body work proceeded and included new inner fenders custom-made with a ’76 Nova front clip. The engine compartment now is a dream to look at. The engine is a 454 big block Chevy with 4-bbl Edelbrock carb and intake. A serpentine belt from Billet connects the alternator, A/C compressor, water pump, and power steering pump to give the engine a superclean design. The master brake cylinder is under the dash to further enhance the clean design of the engine compartment. The trans-

mission is a 700R automatic with a 9-inch Ford rear end from a ’76 Bronco. Peter had to search far and wide for a rear end with the proper width to clear the rear tires and found one near Oshawa. The only piece still missing is the stainless trim for the rear window. With Peter’s perseverance, we know he’ll find it! I’m always looking for more stories.

From engine noises to tinting – car counsellor covers variety of topics “Hello Brian, Just an update on something I sent earlier. This past weekend I saw a car, in Orleans, with the driver’s/front passenger’s window so dark that the driver had to put his windows down about 6” so he could make a U-turn. At least he knew he had restricted vision and didn’t just ‘go for it’ like some drivers.” Lorne Facey I don’t know why this is still a grey area in Ontario. In BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia, applying aftermarket tinting to either of the front door windows is illegal. In Manitoba, the law spells out the amount of light that tinting must allow in or out in terms of percentages. These regulations allow less tinting on the front door windows than rear glass. The reasons from these jurisdictions for limiting tint range from reducing vehicle collisions, lowering risks to pedestrians, to improved police officer safety. Tinting is still a very popular option for new and used vehicles alike as drivers appreciate the improvement in air-conditioning performance, reduced glare inside the vehicle, and increased privacy. The Ministry of Transportation regulations leave enforcement pretty much up to the attending officer’s judgement. So there’s really no such thing as ‘Police Approved’ tinting. Until there’s a collective cry for more regulation or an increase in collisions caused by dark tinting, I’m not holding my breath to see things changed here. But if

Lifestyle – “Hi Brian, My 2006 Chevrolet Impala has valve lifters that are making noise. Should I add (an engine oil) supplement or not. It has over 500,000 km on the odometer.” HB If the lifter noise goes away after start up, the hydraulic lifters may be ‘leaking down’ and losing their ability to react to valve-train movement. If the noise is there even after warm up, one or more lifters may be collapsed altogether. Either way, an additive that would thicken the engine oil enough to resolve this, may to more harm than good by blocking small oil passages. At 500,000 km there may be other valve-train components that are causing the noise. There are a variety of additives on parts stores’ shelves that can help a tired engine without increasing the risk of creating a sludge problem. But be aware, there’s no such thing as a mechanic in a can. Excessive valvetrain or upper engine noise usually means something has worn past the point of maximum tolerance and replacing a part(s) is usually the only way to rectify the situation. As this type of job can easily approach or exceed $1,000 it would be wise to consider the vehicle’s overall value before proceeding. Oil additives are relatively cheap and easy to try and if they don’t work out, then an oil change is all it takes to get rid of them. You might want to consider trying one of the high mileage engine oils at your next oil change.

world could you live with enormous protected wetlands on the edge of town, great blue herons on the side of the river, hackberry trees lining the waterfalls, and large tracts of deciduous forest just outside the town? Sounds great. But just what is living in those wetlands and forests? There is much more than just deer and bears. The theme of this year’s public talks is about exactly this – connecting with and appreciating our natural surroundings and understanding how they are linked to big picture nature conservation. So how did Caroline fall in love with nature and come to connect with Ontario Nature? Discover this, know about nature in your backyard, care about the boreal forest, and forge connections to nature in distant places you may never visit by attending Caroline Schultz’s talk ‘From Our Backyards to the Boreal Forest and Beyond’ at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 19 at the Almonte United Church (106 Elgin Street). All are welcome ($5 fee for non-members). For further information, please contact MVFN’s program chair Cathy Keddy at 613257-3089. Submitted by the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists.

polar bears flying south. But certainly most of the birds are on their way. Geese, grebes, loons, herons, cranes, grosbeaks and blackbirds will be passing through soon. Thus our backyards matter – whether they are measured in square feet or square kilometers. Nature-friendly gardening and land stewardship can provide resting areas for migrating birds and can help pollinators such as native bees and butterflies. We can plant trees, protect our forests, leave the shoreline at the cottage natural, or plant native shrubs to replace lakeside lawns – there is something each of us can do to make Lanark County better for wildlife. The cumulative effects of such simple actions are very powerful when thousands of people do them. This will help to ensure that Lanark County not only keeps its natural beauty, but increases it in the future. Working to ensure that municipalities have robust natural heritage systems in their Official Plans and opening the doors to the wonders of nature, especially to our youth, are also vital for ensuring that we protect the biodiversity that sustains us. But, our backyards are connected beyond the boreal! Everything we do here in Ontario has an impact beyond our borders. This ranges from the importance of sustaining vital migratory or breeding habitat for birds to minimizing our carbon footprint to sustaining our freshwater systems that are part of the global hydrological cycle. Everything is connected. Imagine, we have responsibilities as global environmental stewards and we should be proud of this. But Ontario has the fourth highest ecological footprint compared with 60 countries around the world. Canada has the eight highest. We need to earn the right to be proud as proactive environmental leaders. Lanark County is a beautiful place to spend the year, but life is always more enjoyable when you know enough about your surroundings to appreciate them. Where else in the

Lifestyle – The goldenrods and asters are turning our roadsides yellow and blue again. The grackles have already left, and the goldfinches are preparing to leave. The bears are fattening up on a bumper crop of acorns. Yes, it’s autumn. And one of the regular events of autumn is the start of the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists’ (MVFN) new lecture series, this year entitled ‘Knowing and Caring Connect Us With Nature.’ MVFN is very fortunate to have an outstanding speaker to start the season. In her presentation, ‘From Our Backyards to the Boreal and Beyond’, Caroline Shultz, executive director of Ontario Nature and conservation biologist, will speak about the enormous boreal forest (half of Ontario’s land area) which is just to our north, how it is connected to our backyards, and how our backyards are connected to nature beyond the boreal. The boreal forest is the land of conifer forest, home of the woodland caribou, and a vast nursery for songbirds and waterfowl. Many of these visit Lanark County each spring, on their way north, and each autumn, on their way back south. Songbirds that breed on the very edge of the tree line near Hudson Bay may very well rest in a tree in your own backyard on their way back to the rain forest for the winter. As well, the boreal forest has vast wetlands – the Hudson Bay lowlands region is one of the ten largest wetlands in the world. Its extensive peatlands store massive amounts of carbon keeping it out of our atmosphere where it could do great damage to our climate. Its vast freshwater ecosystems play a major role in global hydrological cycles. Boreal forest conservation further ensures an abundance of wild forest and freshwater foods and sustainable livelihoods for northern residents. Many of wild the boreal inhabitants are about to move south in the coming month. Not the polar bears or caribou of course. At least, no one in the field naturalists has yet seen flocks of
