Kilt Run signs give town chance to ‘brag’: Boldt

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

The Perth Jr. B Blue Wings open season with a pair of tough losses.

— Page P18

News – Highway 7 motorists will now know that Perth is home to the World’s Largest Kilt Run. Perth’s committee-of-thewhole voted on Tuesday, Sept.

10 to approve the signage, on Highway 7 and near the Perth Farmers’ Market, after a request was put in from the Perth Kilt Run committee and the Perth

Running Goat Club.

However, Coun. Beth Peterkin cautioned that the decision might lead to unintended consequences by setting a precedent.

“We’re opening the door to (signage proclaiming) the World’s Biggest Cheese,” she said, referencing the eye-catching monument near the Crystal Palace.

“If someone else comes forward, we can say no,” said Dep-

uty Mayor John Gemmell.

The signage costs about $1,500 each, about $3,000 in total, and will read “Perth – Home of the Biggest Kilt run in the World,” after the times it has beat Perth, Scotland. Down Under, Perth, Western Australia, has also been offered the chance to challenge Perth, Ont., for the title.

Shellee Evans, the town’s director of community services, stated that the familiar blue and

white Ministry of Transportation attraction signs rent for $200 a year and are intended for fixed attractions only.

“I am not sure that a claim would be part of it,” she said.

Coun. Jim Boldt thought that the sign was a great marketing opportunity for the town.

“The more things we can brag about, and be proud of, all the more reason to put signs,” Boldt said.

News – The anticipated savings from merging the old Perth Police Service (PPS) with the OPP are off by $50,000 because of severance costs.

“We didn’t anticipate our severance costs as being as high,” said Lang Britchford, the Town of Perth’s treasurer, during a report to the Perth police services board meeting on Thursday, Sept. 12. “(But) I’m still holding firm on that number of $750,000,” in the future, he promised.

“It has held its own, (my) initial messaging,” he added.

In the spring of 2012, “I was asked to project out 10 years or so,” as to what savings would be had from merging the two forces.

He anticipated about $750,000 per year, over 10 years.

“There are still some minor variables that are unknown,” said Britchford. Now, that anticipated number stands, conservatively, as only $700,000 per year, on average.

However, there were some pleasant surprises to be had that have actually helped the bottom line. The former PPS building at 1881 Rogers Rd. was expected to remain empty for three years after any merger. Now, a campus of T.R. Leger school is resident there, meaning that rental income is now flowing, after only three months of vacancy.

Also, OPP costs were lower than anticipated. They had been slotted at $2.5 million, but actually came in at $2.1 million.

Further to this, not as many officers went over to the OPP from the PPS as had been expected, with former Chief Pat Capello settling a severance deal with the town, and Insp. Glen Dewey retiring before the transfer.

News – Ontario Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak has fired local MPP Randy Hillier as the Tory labour critic.

The decision came suddenly in a phone call between Hillier and Hudak on Thursday, Sept. 12. “I had an arranged phone call with Mr. Hudak,â€? said Hillier during an interview on Sept. 16. “It was a different sort of phone call than what I was expecting. I was given an ultimatum. I was accused of doing things that I have not done. I was given an opportunity to retract statements in the media‌ that I know were honest and accurate.â€?

If he did not do as was expected of him, “I would be banished to the back benches.�

To this, Hillier told Hudak, “it’s a cost I will wear. I am disappointed. It was not what I expected the conversation to be about.�

The next day, Lambton-KentMiddlesex MPP Monte McNaughton was promoted to Hillier’s old job.

Hudak accused Hillier of not being a team player, after a series of emails from Hillier were leaked to the media, exposing rifts within the party.

According to a leaked email made available to the Toronto Star, written last May, and published by the daily earlier this month, Hillier wrote to other members of the Progressive Conservative caucus at Queen’s Park, stating that the party was “walking on thin ice,� by supporting a bill that would free construction giant EllisDon from a closed-shop union agreement signed in 1958.

Hillier confirmed during the Sept.

9 interview that while the email “was not sent from me� to the Star, it was his email, and his words. “We do have a problem with brown envelopes here at Queen’s Park,� said Hillier in the interview.

In a now-ironic statement, Hillier said that if he had any more comments or criticisms within the party, “I probably won’t be putting it in an email.�

In the email, Hillier wrote that, “in caucus, it was stated quite explicitly that following a successful EllisDon fundraiser for Tim (Hudak), our party would continue to benefit financially with the advancement of this legislation.�

He also feared that such action would contravene the Legislative Assembly Act, which makes it illegal for MPPs to benefit, directly or indirectly, from legislation. Further to this, he pointed out that supporting the legislation might also play into the hands of their political rivals, that, by helping one company, “that we are only fighting unions to make big business richer.�

Hillier has not revealed the identity of who made these remarks in caucus.

While Bill 74 has passed first and second reading – with PC and Liberal support – in a rare move, Hillier joined with the union-friendly New Democrats in voting against the bill. “It doesn’t happen too often,â€? he said. “You can count on one hand‌ how many times people have voted against their party.â€?

Hillier said that his email was part of his job as labour critic, to offer

for the top job against Hudak back in 2009. “I can represent them (my constituents) best by having convictions and principals,� he said. Now that he is no longer labour critic, “I have less constraints to advance public policy.

There is no longer the obligation to advance legislation on behalf of the party.�

When he arrived home from Toronto, “the home phone was pretty full up with messages,� he said. At his Perth constituency office this past Monday, the mood was the same. “A great number of people (are) coming in to wish me well and to congratulate me,� he said.

Lanark County establishes first-ever LGBT Civitan Club in world

By ASHLEY KULP akulp@perfprint.ca

News – History was made Monday evening (Sept. 16) in the Smiths Falls Civitan Club hall.

The LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) Lanark County Civitan Club was officially formed during a charter night celebration at the hall, earning Lanark County the distinction of having the first LGBT Civitan Club in the world.

“History has been made here tonight,” LGBT Lanark County Civitan Club president Penny Kelly noted as the audience erupted in a cheer. “...This is a very proud moment for the LGBT community and we are very excited and honoured to be members of the Civitan Club.”

Sponsored by the Smiths Falls Civitan Club, the evening get underway with refreshments and hors d’oeuvres followed by words of welcome by Smiths Falls Civitan Club member and current Canadian District East governor Bryan Wiltsie. Bryan

and wife Julie serve as the club builders. He said talks to establish the new club began back in May with LGBT Lanark County, an organization dedicated to support and education within the LGBT community, which was formed in October 2010.

Upon taking up his term as district governor a year ago, Bryan said he wished to promote growth within the region. “I took this task very serious and created a contest to challenge the presidents and their clubs to increase membership,” he stated. “By doing this I knew I had to lead by example…”

He credited his wife Julie with the idea to approach LGBT Lanark County. “By doing this I knew I had to lead by example and with the encouragement, support and direction of my wife Julie, this charter is taking place tonight,” Bryan continued. “Julie, thank you for always standing beside me and for your wonderful idea to approach Elizabeth Snyder (founding member) of the LGBT Lanark County group.”

Big support Showcasing the fellowship Civitan International is known for worldwide, a number of area clubs came out to lend their support to the new LGBT Civitan Club, including Perth, Carleton Place, Almonte, Pakenham, Lanark and District, as well as Pembroke, Cobden and hometown Smiths Falls. Special guest for the evening, who performed the initiation for the new club’s charter members was 2013-2014 Civitan International president Bob Robinson.

Those visiting clubs welcomed the new group with open arms, many of them providing gifts of small donations to help them establish themselves.

“We hope this (donation) will give you a running start for the future,” said Almonte Civitan Club’s Ross Munro, who also presented Kelly with a coloured flashing pin in honour of the occasion.

“We’re thrilled that you have joined us,” added Doris Rankin of the Pakenham Civitan Club,

which was formed nine years ago. “We’re one of the new kids on the block so if you need advice, give us a call.”

“These gifts, know that they are a foundation for you, but we hope you feel the love when you open these cards. Know that it comes with a lot of love and encouragement,” Rankin continued.

Local municipalities backed the initiative, with dignitaries such as Carleton Place mayor Wendy LeBlanc, Smiths Falls mayor Dennis Staples, Drummond-North Elmsley reeve Aubrey Churchill, Lanark Highlands mayor Peter McLaren, Beckwith reeve Richard Kidd

and Montague Township reeve and Lanark County warden, Bill Dobson.

“I must say that tonight really is about pride and I think in Lanark County, we have an awful lot of pride,” Dobson said.

Staples said the Smiths Falls Civitan should be commended for helping “take this very important step” and offered the full support of the Town of Smiths Falls and council.

“You’re the first club in the world and hopefully not the last to continue on,” McLaren added.

Smiths Falls Police Service community services officer, Constable David Murphy, was also there in support of the partner-

ship the police have with LGBT Lanark County. “I’m in schools all the time and it’s a tough go, but it’s great to see that everyone digs their heels in and does what they need to do,” he said.

The Smiths Falls club was particularly excited to be serving as sponsor for the group.

“I welcome you into the Civitan and let you know that we’re here for help and support. All you have to do is ask and we will do what we can to help you out,” Smiths Falls Civitan president Carolyn Trenholme said. “I want you to know we are proud to be your sponsor and I can speak for See CIVITAN page 6

Community – Imagine a field full of sunflowers, golden yellow blooms all at attention, all following the sun. Introduce a group of artists and photographers, each with their own talent, their own vision of the sunflower field and the result will be a collection of works captured by their collective eyes, all to be sold to benefit The Table Community Food Center in Perth.

This all started with a question posed

by Dale Horeczy and Brad Daily of Kricklewood Farm in Frankville: “How can we share the amazing beauty of the sunflower field with others?�

Kricklewood Farm, eastern Ontario’s first producer of cold pressed sunflower oil, planted their second year’s crop earlier this spring and began to ponder this question. “The flowers are in bloom for such a short time, so how can we take it a step further beyond inviting people to come and see it for themselves?�

The answer was to invite area photographers and artists to come to the farm and capture the beauty of the field using their own medium of choice. They could come to the farm in the morning, in the evening, all according to their individual preference for light and time of day. They could spend as much time as they wanted, create as much as they could with only one condition: to donate one piece to a group show and sale with proceeds to go to The Table Community Food Center, (www.thetablecfc.org) a welcoming space where people come together to grow, cook, share and advocate for good food.

The show will be held at the Herb Garden (3840 Old Almonte Road) Sept.

22 to 29, with an opening reception Sept.

all of our members.”

Of Civitan, Trenholme acknowledged, “...it’s work, but it’s fun and that’s what makes the club great. We work hard but we have fun.”

As Robinson conducted the initiation of charter members, he likened Civitan representatives to heroes due to the community service projects and fundraisers they perform within their communities.

“It’s truly an honour for you to be charter members of the LGBT Lanark County Civitan. You will be heroes to people in different communities as well as those who follow in your footsteps in this club,” he stated as he lit three candles symbolizing the three main purposes of Civitan (fellowship, knowledge and service), which date back to 1917 in Birmingham, Alabama. “ While he slipped Civitan ribbons around each charter member’s neck, he encouraged them to “commit it to memory and live it each and every day.”

After a standing ovation and congratulations from visiting clubs, the club’s officers were inducted: Kelly as president; president-elect Beth Schilling; secretary Dorothy Grooms; treasurer Kari Cunningham; and directors Cathy Blaine, Karen Britton-Reid, Lorrie BrittonReid and Shelley Montreuil.

Bryan and Julie then presented Kelly with the official charter (number 4042), symbolizing the establishment of the club, followed up with Trenholme’s president-to-president gift of gavel and bell to Kelly,

as well as a candlelight ceremony where each club officer was given a candle.

“The spirit of Civitan is like the light of this candle. If I try to keep it all to myself, it does not shine very far. But if I share it with another it doubles in value,” explained Bryan.

“Notice that by sharing I spread the spirit but it does not diminish my light one bit.”

Making history Kelly acknowledged that the road from October 2010 to Monday evening had been a long one for LGBT Lanark County. “(When it formed) we couldn’t know what the future would hold, we just wanted to create a way for LGBTs to socialize in their own communities and we wanted to come out and dance!”

Those initiatives, known as ‘Come Out and Dance’ have become signature events within the group since the first dance in November 2010 at the Perth Civitan.

“I thank you (Civitan) for treating us with decency and respect,” she said, noting that 90 people from areas including Smiths Falls, Perth, Carleton Place and Merrickville attended. “Some were gay, some were straight and some weren’t quite sure, but young people were excited they had a place where they could just be themselves.”

“And you, the members of Civitan, stood by our side that night as you have every day since,” Kelly added.

Since then, LGBT Lanark County has held three successful Pride days

have also made it their mission to combat the bullying of LGBT youth within local schools through their ‘Enough is Enough’ campaign. It was spurred on after the suicide of gay teen Jamie Hubley, of Ottawa.

“We knew we needed to do more to prevent tragedy,” Kelly said, which resulted in the launch of ‘Enough is Enough’ in 2011, a bracelet and education program that also sees LGBT Lanark County representatives visit schools. “We teach that it’s okay to be different. It’s okay to be LGBT. We’ve been there. We’re here for you and it gets better.”

In thanking the Wiltsies for their support, Kelly presented a rainbow flag to Bryan, pointing out that the colours represent life, healing, sunlight, nature, harmony and spirit.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

CPHC reflects on success of recent telethon DEAR EDITOR: Community and Primary Health Care and TVCogeco held its fifth annual Reason to Rock telethon, which took place Sept. 7. The event was broadcast live on TVCogeco across Lanark, Leeds and Grenville and Kingston.

Donations were received during this special program, which allowed a number of CPHC staff, volunteers and community partners to highlight the breadth of services available through CPHC to the community.

The focus was on raising awareness of services available within the community and increasing funds available for direct service for those in need. Several programs are either partially funded or not funded at all; many CPHC clients cannot afford the service, and thus the services are subsidized by CPHC.

All proceeds from this fundraiser were designated for CPHC Community Support Services in the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville area. These services include Caregiver Support and Services, Meals on Wheels, Client Intervention, Diners Clubs, Foot Care Clinics, Friendly Visiting, Home Help/Homemaking, home maintenance and repair, transportation and telephone reassurance, or the donors program choice.

The event raised $70,716. The goal was to raise $75,000. These donations assist individuals in remaining in their home: reduce visits to emergency departments, reduce admissions to hospital beds and delay admissions to nursing homes.

COMMENTARY Civitan breaks ground Editorials – The county is abuzz of late with the announcement of the first-ever LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) Civitan Club being formed in Lanark County.

The historic event took place Monday evening at the Smiths Falls Civitan Club, which served as the newly-established LGBT Lanark County Civitan Club’s sponsor.

Judging by the full hall and attendance from Civitan clubs as close as Perth, Almonte and Carleton Place and as far away as Pembroke and Cobden, support for this initiative is evident. What’s equally impressive was the large showing of local municipal leaders, including those from Smiths Falls, Montague Township and Lanark Highlands, who pledged to assist the club as they continue to grow. Let’s hope this encouragement continues long after the celebration ends.

Through the three tenets of Civitan (fellowship, knowledge and service), LGBT Lanark County hopes to continue its efforts to offer support and education programs to people as they have done through their Pride days, regular dances and ‘Enough is Enough’ bracelet and education campaign to combat bullying of LGBT youth. They have been New club president Penny Kelly remarked how Civitan has treated LGBT Lanark County with “decency and respect” and have stood by the group’s side since its inception in October 2010. The international organization should be commended for inviting people of all ages and walks of life to experience the true spirit of what Civitan has to offer.

Twenty-acre field held many precious memories Lifestyle – It was always called the 20-acre field. And yet Father said it was far more than 20 acres. He said if you counted the bush at the north end, you could add another couple acres to it. But we always called it the 20-acre field.

It separated our farm from our neighbours, the Thoms. Although they were no relation, we always called them Uncle Alec and Aunt Bertha. Children back in those days never called an adult by their first name, and so the parents of our best friends in Northcote were always called Aunt and Uncle.

The 20 acres was always a hay field. Father said the soil was best for hay, and other crops were planted on the fields beyond the West Hill, where there was rich black loam, ideal for wheat, barley and oats.

For reasons unknown, all of the farms in that part of Northcote were laid out in long narrow strips, and on our side, there were no exceptions.

Father always said you could spit across our fields, they were so narrow, but our farm ran from the Northcote

Side Road, straight south and across the Bonnechere...this long narrow piece of farmland that had seen three generations of Father’s family live and die.

But the 20-acre field was more than just a field. When the hay had been taken off, you could see the path where dozens of times, we had walked, rode horseback, or taken the buggy in the summer and the cutter in the winter, over to the Thom’s homestead.

When the hay had yet to be harvested, we walked close to the fence that was in constant need of repair, but both Uncle Alec and Father could see no reason to fix it. “We don’t need a fence to tell us where our land lies,” Uncle Alec would say whenever the subject came up to prop up the bentover posts, and maybe replace the wiring. And so, most of the time the fence was either lying flat on the ground, or so bent over, you could step across the wiring without touching a shoe to it.

If I was on my way to my friend’s farm, across the 20-acre field in the summertime, I walked close to the falling fence. I was sure if I walked Vice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount mmount@perfprint.ca 613-283-3182, ext. 104

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

through the hay; I would get lost and never see my mother again, because the crop, by mid-summer was far over my head. Being the meek child that I was, when I started out across the 20acre field to visit Velma, I would ask Mother to stand by the grape arbour, so that I could turn every 10 feet or so, wave to her, and make sure if any danger befell me, I could run for home.

Only when I went through the gate, also badly in need of repair and never, ever did I see it closed, but always hanging open on one hinge, I left the 20-acre field behind me, and I would breathe a sigh of relief that I had once again made it safely.

Coming home presented a problem though. My little friend Velma knew I

was frightened of my own shadow, and so she would walk with me half-way through the field, and stand there as I ran as fast as my legs could carry me home. And as soon as I would reach the grape arbour, I would turn and wave to Velma and she would return to her own home. I marvelled at how brave was my little friend Velma.

In the wintertime, when the hay had long since been taken off, and only stubble remained, I would wait for the snow to come and cover the field with a white blanket. The field looked bigger then, I thought. As soon as there was enough snow to make the field passable, Father would take the team of horses, hitch them to the big flat-bottomed sleigh and make many trips back and forth across the field to make a path. It would be as straight as a die. Leading from our yard at the side of our house, and right over to the opening in the fence where the gate hung by a hinge.

My very favourite time for crossing the 20-acre field was in the dead of winter. When the air was crystal clear, and bitterly cold, and the full

moon overhead hung like a huge lit lantern. Going across the field to the Thoms was a special treat at any time, but in the winter, on a cold night, was my very favourite. It would take about 20 minutes to cross the field, all of us bundled up like mummies on the flatbottomed sleigh.

And from under the blankets covering us, keeping out the cold, the 20-acre field looked like an immense white bedspread. After a fresh snow, the field sparkled like millions of diamonds, and I felt the utmost joy and peace. I thought how blessed we were to own that special tract of land. It was supposed to separate the two farms, but in fact, it tied us together.

Today, decades later, the 20-acre field is still there. There still isn’t much of a fence, and its ground is rutted from hundreds of sleighs, wagons and horses using it as a way of getting from one farm to another. And through a child’s eyes, so many years ago, the 20-acre field was a symbol of the times linking neighbours, creating a bond, like a good and warm handshake.

Mississippi Mudds Youth theatre group presents Othello this fall Arts – The Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre are back again this October, with 15 local youths bringing Othello, Shakespeare’s tragedy of jealousy, misunderstanding, and murder to the Carleton Place Town Hall theatre.

Yes, the acting company that brought you Much Ado About Nothing last year, and Macbeth the year before (along with many

of the actors from last summer’s Almonte Valley Players’ production of Hamlet) and a number of talented newcomers will be presenting the classic tale of the noble warrior driven mad by the whispered lies of a false friend.

The story is a simple one – General Othello has passed Iago over for promotion, favouring instead his friend Cassio. In re-

sponse, the sinister Iago plots revenge – using innuendo, lies, and manipulation – that will destroy Cassio and drive Othello mad with suspicion that his blameless wife Desdemona has betrayed him.

Othello has, from the time of its first performance in 1604 (for Queen Elizabeth the first), been one of Shakespeare’s most popu-

lar plays, and it has never fallen out of fashion, with major productions being performed every decade or so since then.

Many of the world’s greatest actors have been drawn to perform one of the plays two main adversaries: Othello and Iago.

Paul Robeson, Laurence Olivier, Laurence Fishburne, Anthony Hopkins, and Patrick Stewart have all played Othello, while

Ian McKellan, Bob Hoskins, and Kenneth Brannagh have all taken on Iago.

Just as with previous Mudds’ Shakespeare performances, the play will be presented in the round, with the audience close to the action, surrounding the performers. Veteran Shakespearean director Mark Piper is back for another production, as well.

So mark your calendars – the

Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre brings Shakespeare’s Othello to the Carleton Place Town Hall on Oct. 20, 25, and 26.

Tickets will be sold at the Carleton Place Chamber of Commerce Visitor Centre, 132 Coleman Street (613-257-1976). For more details, please visit mississippimudds.ca.

A team of 10 Ontario Public Service employees passed through Perth Sept. 12, bound for Toronto during the Bike For United Way (B4UW) initiative, above right. Above, the riders included, in no particular order: captain Peter Makula, Marcus Brunnmeier, Béatrice Cardin, Ari Caylakyan, Dwight Couchman, Doug Flegel, Jamie Fligg, Jennifer Keyes, Ian MacNeil and Melissa Miller.

The team is one of three donating their vacation time and expenses with the goal of raising $75,000 in support of the annual United Way campaign. The funds raised will go towards the various United Way organizations along the route, including the United Way of Lanark County. Above, the group with United Way of Lanark County executive director Fraser Scantlebury, far left, Foodsmiths owner Claire Smith, sixth from right, and fund development officer, Emily Danaher, seventh from right. Left, biker Melissa Miller reaches for a sandwich prepared by Foodsmiths during the stop.

But – if you invest your inheritance in joint names with your partner or in a family home or cottage, or use the funds to pay down debt on jointly held property and then separate, the assets may become fully sharable. You may want to keep property and other investments separate from other family investments/ assets.

What you do with your inheritance is up to you, but to be sure your decisions fit your unique situation, talk to your legal and professional advisor first.

Improving service key to Canada Post’s survival Reflections

BY JEFF MAGUIRE

in place before the move to sell stock. RM has answered saying it will consider such an arrangement “for a set period.”

The UK postal corporation has some impressive statistics to fall back on however.

After a dramatic and alarming slide in revenue in recent years, Greene and her staff have not only halted the plunge they appear to have reversed it. RM’s operating profit more than doubled (to £403 million) in the year to March 31, 2013.

Greene says the increase has been spurred by growth in Internet sales and parcel delivery revenue. Overall sales have advanced five per cent to reach £9.8 billion.

So, what about Canada Post?

This country’s postal monopoly is losing money at the same time as public complaints about poor service are on the increase.

Clearly the same technological advances which cut a path of destruction through Europe’s postal systems are also impacting negatively in Canada and North America. One year ago I read a story saying the United States Postal Service, which traces its history back to 1775 and is one of the few government agencies authorized by the U.S. Constitution, was losing over $42 million a day (yes, every 24 hours) in fiscal 2012. There has been no dramatic reversal of fortune south of the border that I am aware of.

As a newspaper writer I recall when door-to-door mail delivery service arrived in Carleton Place where we live. It was the 1970s and Canada Post had the mail market to itself.

In recent times the corporation has been reducing door-to-door delivery here and across the country. Group boxes are erected in every new subdivision and

this week in

Canada Post, faced with ever declining revenue, is looking for ways to cut its losses. Rural delivery routes are also being abandoned in favour of the so-called “superboxes.”

Still, a full one-third of Canadians still get their mail at home. Group boxes have created a two-tiered system which is patently unfair in my opinion.

Hand-in-hand with service reductions are increases in postage costs which are, frankly, ludicrous. For example, have you mailed a card or letter to the UK recently? We do quite often and have done for years. But my wife is now balking saying the rising cost of stamps makes sending items through the post impractical. At the same time the cost of sending larger parcels overseas has reached a ridiculous level.

I read a recent column critical of Canada Post in which the writer noted that “a monopoly that loses money is a remarkable feat.”

I disagree to some extent. With email and texting rendering letters to the point

of impractical, along with the proliferation of courier services who will take packages virtually anywhere very quickly (for a price of course) the linchpin of Canada Post’s success has been pulled.

Better service I believe Canada Post should be following the models which are showing remarkable success in Europe.

It’s true that technology is hurting postal services. But for some people, particularly the ever expanding numbers of seniors who are comfortable using the mail, letters remain a viable option.

If Canada Post improves its flagging efficiency that is! In this day and age no one is going to put up with lengthy delivery delays. Most people will pay more to obtain faster service.

It is a big issue but I think it’s high time our postal corporation closely examines its questionable practices and moves into the 21st century.

Lifestyle – I hate to see anyone put out of a job, especially in this day and age when cuts to the work force in so many businesses is commonplace. But in the case of Canada Post and the union which delivers our mail I believe the handwriting is on the wall unless changes are made.

As its counterparts in so many other developed nations have already experienced, Canada Post is rapidly losing customers. Naturally that trend eventually turns to red ink on the balance sheet and Canada Post losses continue to mount. In fact the Ottawa-based Conference Board of Canada, which researches, analyzes and makes predictions about economic trends, is projecting annual losses of $1 billion for this country’s postal corporation by the end of the decade.

It’s a trend which has already claimed postal monopolies in other countries, notably European nations such as Germany and the Netherlands. New Zealand was a forerunner in this regard. Mail service on the island nation was privatized nearly two decades ago.

Now the government in the United Kingdom has confirmed it will sell a majority stake in the venerable Royal Mail (RM) which has served the British Isles for an incredible 360 years. A public offering will be made.

In this case staff will get 10 per cent of the shares free on condition they hold them for three years. Retail investors will be offered stock on the same terms as institutional buyers. The plan is expected to raise at least £2 billion ($3.2 billion CDN).

British media sources say the sale of RM will be the biggest UK privatization since the then government turned British Rail over to private enterprise in the 1990s. From my point of view allowing private companies to run the trains in Britain appears to have worked quite well, although some of our friends and acquaintances there would give me an argument.

I have commented on Royal Mail’s declining market previously in this space.

The reality is that with surface mail volume in the UK down dramatically, due to the influence of email and other electronic services, something had to give.

The chief executive officer of Royal Mail is Moya Greene, a former Canadian businesswoman. She welcomes the public offering proposed by the government which she hopes will make the operation much more competitive.

RM has already adapted its former letter-focused network by zeroing in on the more lucrative package shipping market.

Privatized services such as Deutsche Post of Germany have already achieved major success in that growing market. Deutsche Post and Austria Post have also achieved amazing results with letter delivery in recent times. They now deliver over 95 per cent of letters the next day according to RM data given to Parliamentarians in London.

Greene heralds the current plan. She recently told Bloomberg News, “Our employees will have a meaningful stake in the company and its future success. The public will have the opportunity to invest in a great British institution.”

Critics weigh in However the business spokesperson for the opposition Labour Party has criticized the plan saying RM is being sold “on the cheap” to raise needed cash in the wake of the failure of the government’s economic plan for the corporation.

Not surprisingly the union which represents British postal workers says it will fight the plan. They have already threatened strike action unless “legally binding assurances on terms and conditions” are

Clark criticizes OPP works to combat government’s teen victimization energy policies

themselves.

NeedHelpNow posters are being distributed by OPP detachments for schools to display, to help raise awareness. The OPP is also distributing a business card with information in communities across the province to promote this program.

“As a public safety organization, we have great concern for the safety of any teen victimized by the distribution of photographs on the Internet and we will provide support in any way we can. The OPP will use every avenue available to promote NeedHelpNow. ca as a potential resource for teens,” said OPP Commissioner Chris Lewis.

“Teens need to realize the short and long term risks of sending out inappropriate or illegal photographs.

Those who distribute such photos also need to be aware of the possible criminal ramifications of doing so. The OPP strongly supports any initiative to enhance awareness of this issue, and possibly prevent tragic outcomes in the future,” commented Inspector Scott Naylor, OPP Child Sexual Exploitation Unit police advisor to the Canadian Centre for Child Protection.

News – The Wynne government’s green energy folly reached a new low this week when it was revealed wind turbine companies are being paid not to produce power, said Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark.

“This sums up what a debacle and an utter failure the McGuinty-Wynne energy policies have been,” said Clark. “If the mess they’ve made of the province’s electricity sector weren’t sending people’s hydro bills through the roof and costing us goodpaying jobs, it would be a joke.”

Through a process known as “dispatching,” the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) now has the ability to turn wind generation on and off, but Clark noted the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) has confirmed producers will be paid even when turbine blades stop spinning.

“Remember, these turbines were forced onto communities against their will. The expensive subsidies paid to renewable power generators are crippling our economy and wind power is unreliable and unavailable when demand is highest,” said Clark.

“Now, on top of all of those problems, we find out that producers will profit even when their turbines are idle.”

Clark said affordable energy is essential if we’re going to rebuild Ontario’s economy, particularly the manufacturing sector, and he again called on the government to scrap the Green Energy Act. “Soaring electricity rates make it harder for Ontario manufacturers, including those in Leeds-Grenville, to compete. Continuing these policies is nothing short of economic suicide,” stressed Clark. “Affordable energy must be a top priority, but it isn’t for this government.”

Earlier this year, Clark met with representatives from area industries to talk about the negative impact of soaring energy rates.

“Businesses from Gananoque to Cardinal, from Brockville to Kemptville are being contacted regularly

by New York State to move their businesses to the other side of the St. Lawrence River. And cheaper power is a prime message in those enticements,” said Clark.

The situation has grown even worse since those meetings, explained Clark, as the Global Adjustment surcharge – where expensive renewable energy subsidies and the cost of the gas plants cancellation are recovered – nearly doubled to 8.72 cents per kilowatt hour in September.

“The Auditor General and several independent studies of the government’s green energy policies have come to the same conclusion: it’s a costly failure,” said Clark. “Paying someone for nothing is just more evidence that this government has no idea what it’s doing.”

In contrast, Ontario PCs have outlined a detailed affordable energy plan in a Paths to Prosperity discussion paper released last year. It can be viewed at ontariopc.com/policy.

News – Young people who create and send sexual images through social media can often find themselves overwhelmed by the circumstances.

Teens can experience fear, despair and victimization after engaging in self-peer exploitation or ‘sexting’ and cyber bullying.

A website has been developed to help young people manage the helplessness they feel when they realize the negative consequences that can occur when they create and send sexual images through social media.

The Canadian Centre for Child Protection (CCCP) has created a web-based, bilingual resource at www.

NeedHelpNow.ca.

This website is a place where teens can turn to find out how to regain control over what can quickly become a frightening and overwhelming experience.

The website provides young people with practical advice and helpful information to manage the harassment they might feel over what they may have done online.

The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is supporting this important initiative to enhance safety and help reduce fear and despair among young people.

NeedHelpNow.ca provides strategies to empower youth to take action to protect

Getting slapped in different ways from your car turer trying to reduce engine weight by shortening the skirt on the pistons (the sides of the pistons that extend pass the point where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re attached to the connecting rod).

If the engine is not consuming oil or experiencing performance problems due to loss of compression, and the noise is simply piston slap, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d leave an eightyear-old motor alone rather than going to the major expense of an overhaul.

Predicting how long the engine will last requires my crystal ball which is in the shop right now. Avoid using thicker engine oil as it may worsen the problem if it further gums up the piston rings.

While web chat rooms and owner forums might have some number of discussions on this topic, as a rule the Acura power-train of this era had few major internal problems. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hi Brian, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve owned my 2013 Subaru Outback 2.5l for a year now at 15,040 km. I brought it to the dealer for its biannual service (12 months/20,000 km) which, according to the original warranty/maintenance booklet is type B service. Type B service includes: â&#x20AC;&#x153;remove, inspect and service front and rear brakesâ&#x20AC;?.

However, an updated Subaru maintenance schedule suggests B servicing at 30,000 km with only an oil change, etc. (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aâ&#x20AC;? service) at 20,000km. The difference in cost is approximately $250.

It was suggested that my somewhat low mileage means the brakes arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t being cleaned by typical braking action. However, it seems counterintuitive to take my vehicle out for a drive every two or three days just to keep the brakes scoured because other factors would come into

play: for example, unnecessary use of gas, wear and tear on other parts, etc.

It is certainly more convenient and perhaps less expensive just to pay for brake servicing every year...Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m left with some questions and hopefully you can shed some light on this topic.

Does brake servicing at 15,000 km seem reasonable given a maintenance booklet suggestion of either 20,000 or 30,000 km and what happens if such servicing is declined â&#x20AC;&#x201C; does it lead to premature brake wear? Does a drive every few days (and for how long?) require some hard braking to clean the brakes and does this increase wear on other parts of the brakes.

Most of my driving is on highways and rural roads to find paddling/kayaking spots rather than around town with

Any routine maintenance to the brakes should be determined by a physical inspection by a qualified technician. These check-ups take very little time and most service providers offer them at discounted package pricing with seasonal oil changes or winter tire changeovers.

Following this method means spending hard-earned money only when necessary and keeping you and your passengers safe. If your vehicle is stationary for more than a few days at a time, make sure itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parked on a well drained surface or under cover to reduce the amount of rust that forms on brake rotors or discs.

50 per cent (a guess) of mileage occurring in the summer.â&#x20AC;?

Many thanks for your input, Brian.

Stephen There are always hairs to split when it comes to the topic of vehicle maintenance. On one side the automakers try to promote the lowest costs to make their products more appealing. On another front, dealership service personnel are trying to ensure their customers get the most out of their vehicles, and in the other corner is a sometimes befuddled customer, confused by mixed messages.

First, while your mileage may be below Canadian averages, putting on over 15 km in just a year is enough driving to exercise every area, component, and system on your Subaru including the brakes. Wheel-brake components for all their technological advances are still prone to the ravages of Canadian winters and our appetite for asphalt salt.

This leads to the need for cleaning and lubrication services.

While car makers may have designed a lifespan or maintenance schedule into every part of their vehicles, sometimes it boils down to common sense over blind adherence to a strict set of guidelines.

Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hi Brian, I have a 2006 Acura TL (168,000 km) that I recently took back to the dealer for some routine service, including timing belt, when I was checking I mentioned that I thought the engine had been sounding somewhat noisy lately (ticking sound) and maybe the valves needed adjustment, they agreed to have a look.

A few hours later I received a call from the service rep and he informed me the valves did not need adjustment and the ticking noise that I was hearing was something called piston slap, as he described it as piston banging against the cylinder wall. I asked what it would take to repair this problem and he said a costly upper engine overhaul and that it would better just to drive it as is as to invest a lot of money into the engine. I was not impressed.

I â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Googledâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; the problem and there seems some history with 2005 and 2006 Acura TL engines with piston slap.

My questions: What is the cause of piston slap? How long will the engine last? What happened to quality Honda engines?â&#x20AC;?

Regards Bruce First, piston slap is found to some degree in just about every internal combustion engine. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s caused by lateral or sideways movement of the piston in its cylinder. True piston slap noise will match the engine speed in terms of frequency and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usually loudest on cold starts and lessens somewhat at the engine warms up. Sometimes piston-rings that have become stuck in their grooves due to carbon build-up can cause this noise, but usually itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s due to a manufac-

UCDSB awards honour legacy of late Ted Kennedy last year in honour of Kennedy, a veteran superintendent and principal with the Upper Canada District School Board.

Kennedy was the founder of the board’s Terry Fox Staff Challenge fundraising relay and held the cause of Terry Fox close to his heart. Kennedy passed away in 2011.

“We thought this award was a fitting tribute to Ted’s passion for the Terry Fox Foundation and cancer research,” said Coombs.

Due in large part to Kennedy’s dedication to the cause, UCDSB schools have raised more than $600,000 for the Terry Fox Foundation over the past 10 years. Last year alone, UCDSB staff and students raised more than $75,000.

South Crosby Public School principal Monique AntoineHartley said it is a great hon-

our for her school to win the award, which was accepted by Antoine-Hartley and teacher Amy Whalen.

“It is with great pride that the South Crosby staff, students and community accept

ing our students to give back to the community. Cancer has touched so many of the South Crosby community that the dream of eradicating this horrible disease is a strong motivator.”

The award was accepted on behalf of the high school by teachers Karl and Chantal Armstrong.

LCBO raises Don’t be fooled, The Family is a mob movie funds for VON

My Take MARK HASKINS

It’s a task they have a hard time with. Which makes federal agent Robert Stansfield’s (Tommy Lee Jones) job that much harder. Of course it can be the smallest of things that trips you up.

I’ll give Luc Besson credit for pushing the envelope. The Family attempts to push those boundaries that define what a mafia movie, a family movie, and a comedy are. It’s an edgy film that’s hard to describe and even harder to wrap your head around.

It has its funny moments.

They’re disturbingly funny, but funny none-the-less. It has its heartwarming moments. It also has its violent moments, and it’s a brutal remorseless violence.

Personally I enjoyed The Family because of its edginess and dark humour. I’m not sure what it says about our society where we can accept a family of psychopaths as empathetic characters, but I liked the movie.

With a tricky film like this you need a talented cast.

Robert De Niro could play a gangster in his sleep. His ability to go from loving father to violent sociopath is astounding. Michelle Pfeiffer captures the hard-core mafia wife and the understanding mother perfectly. Tommy Lee Jones is the quintessential federal agent and John D’Leo gives a breakout performance.

The real standout for me though is Dianna Agron. Her character really defines what this film is about. Belle is every inch the mafia princess, and she is unquestionably her father’s daughter, but she’s also looking to escape this madness. Agron captures it all in a spellbinding performance.

A lot of people would have gone to The Family expecting a comedy thanks to a misguided advertising department that didn’t really understand the film. The Family is not a comedy. It’s a mob movie. An odd mob movie, but a mob movie just the same.

Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

News – Starting Sept. 15, the public can support the Victorian Order of Nurses (VON), Canada’s leading national home and community care charity, by making a donation at any of the 635 LCBO stores throughout Ontario.

Donation boxes for VON will be displayed at LCBO checkout counters until Oct. 12.

“There is no other national not-for-profit organization like VON,” according to John Gallinger, president and chief executive officer (CEO), VON Canada. “We are so pleased that the LCBO is partnering with us to raise the funds that enable VON to provide professional nursing services and community programs that make such a difference in the lives of so many Canadians.”

Gallinger added, “LCBO’s province-wide store network and supportive staff help us to raise significant funds and increase public awareness of VON’s programs. We appreciate the support from LCBO, its employees, and especially from its customers who are committed to helping their own communities.”

VON assists people by enabling them to return home from the hospital sooner. We help keep patients in their homes as long as possible, to live independently, or to die with dignity. VON’s 5,000 staff and 9,000 volunteers work in communities across the country making an important impact on the lives of people.

Some of VON’s programs include: Meals-on-Wheels, adult day programs, palliative visiting, Neighbours Helping Neighbours, specialized senior exercise programs to build balance, reduce falls and increase health outcomes, and many more.

“As a good neighbour, LCBO is pleased to partner with VON and support this worthy cause,” says LCBO president and CEO Bob Peter.

“Through the generosity of LCBO customers and staff, we help improve the lives of countless Ontarians and make a difference where we live and work.”

The Victorian Order of Nurses is one of 28 provincial and numerous local charities that will benefit from LCBO’s provincewide donation box program in 2013. In 2012, LCBO raised a total of more than $6.6 million for charities through special programs and initiatives, of which $6.1 million of this was raised through in-store fundraising. In addition, LCBO’s annual dividend transfer to the Ontario government, which totaled $1.7 billion in fiscal 2012-13, excluding taxes, supports a wide range of important government programs, services and priorities, including health care and education.

VON thanks the public for its support when shopping at their local LCBO store from Sept. 15 to Oct. 12.

MOVIE: The Family STARRING: Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer, Dianna Agron, John D’Leo and Tommy Lee Jones DIRECTOR: Luc Besson RATING: 14A Arts – I’ve notice a strange phenomenon of late. Movies, TV shows and books are being produced where we the audience are made to feel empathy and even sympathy for a violent psychopath. The Family is that kind of story.

The first thing you have to know about The Family is it’s a mob film. It isn’t a comedy, though it has funny moments.

It isn’t an action film though a couple of things get blown up. From its characters down to its dialogue, The Family is a mob film.

Giovanni Manzoni (Robert De Niro) is a major player in the mafia until he turns evidence and goes into witness protection with his wife Maggie (Michelle Pfeiffer), daughter Belle (Dianna Agron) and son Warren (John D’Leo). His name has been changed to William Blake, and he’s been moving around the south of France trying to stay ahead of the hit men hunting him.

It’s late at night when they move into the next sleepy French town. William and the rest of the family have to try to fit in and avoid being noticed.

SAFETY TIPS

Candles: If you use candles, make sure you keep them away from all combustible materials. Never leave them unattended and place them out of reach of young children.

Candles should be placed in solid, secure candle holders and protected by a glass chimney.

Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An Ontario Tour of Irish Palatines, sponsored by the Special Interest Group of the Ontario Genealogical Society, arrived in Mississippi Mills on Sept. 11. Members of the group, many with Irish Palatine roots in this area, come from across Canada and the United States. Also on board were several from the United Kingdom, the County of Limerick in Ireland, as well as Laureen Harper, an Appleton Teskey descendant and wife of our Prime Minister. Other family names of the Irish Palatine pioneers to Ramsay and Pakenham include the Comba, Frizell, Lowe, Millar and Switzer families. The tour, with George Stewart, a descendant of the Comba/Millar family, as their local guide visited Appleton, Almonte, Cedar Hill area and Pakenham village. The owners of the Joseph Teskey house received the group into their home and Almonteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s River Walk oďŹ&#x20AC;ered an enjoyable stroll and photo opportunity for many. Next stop was the Cedar Hill Wesleyan Methodist Cemetery where the Palatine pioneer families are buried and ďŹ nally Pakenham village, home to two of Lanarkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seven wonders. The ladies of St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s provided a hearty lunch in the church hall where exhibits of artifacts, photographs and family histories from the Regional Museum of North Lanark (Appleton) and Archives Lanark ( Drummond Centre) were on display. Above, the tour group is pictured here at Pakenhamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 5-span stone bridge before their return to the Nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital. Mrs. Harper left shortly before this picture was taken as she was hosting the group for tea at 25 Sussex Drive later that afternoon. The group visited other points of interest in eastern Ontario before returning to Toronto Sept. 15.

Competing visions for future of Darou farm

Golden Helmets on parade in Perth News – The Ontario Provincial Police’s Golden Helmets precision motorcycle team was in Perth on Saturday, Sept. 14 for a spectacular show of riding skills marking their 50th anniversary. Above, Ret. OPP Commander Gerry Salisbury gets the final salute of the event, as Stephanie Gray, police services board chair, and Mayor John Fenik look on. The Golden Helmets team was formed in 1963 and each year they tour Ontario giving exhibitions at fairs, festivals and parades.

The 20-member team, comprised of OPP officers on regular patrol duties, consists of the ride master, commentator, the motorcycle technician and 17 riders.

News – Study it, tear it down and rebuild it, or repair it and live in it.

Those were the three proposals put forward for 2845 Rideau Ferry Rd. at the Perth committee-of-the-whole (COW), making the old stone farmhouse and barn suddenly a hot property for debate, with competing visions for the property on Tuesday, Sept. 10.

Warren Hollis was the first up with his proposal to take down the buildings on the property, brick-by-brick, and move them to his property in Lombardy.

“I feel that my proposal is the most viable,” said Hollis, who noted that he would be getting expert help from students and teachers at Algonquin College with taking apart and reassembling the structures, though he is still only in “informal talks” with the college over this. His 10-year vision for the Lombardy property would be to “develop my property into a destination property,” specifically turning it into a commercial level vineyard, with a tasting room in the stone farm house, and turning the barn into a banquet hall.

“We have no rush,” he said.

“For them (the college) to be involved, it would have to fit in with their curriculum.”

The college would likely mark and disassemble the pieces in the fall, and reassemble the pieces in the spring, likely making for a two-year project window.

Jamie Silversides, however, urged that the town put out a request for proposals for a conservation plan for the property, noting that it has only spent $8,000 on the buildings since they purchased the property in 2004, and that was mostly to remove the silo, and board up windows and

doors at the farm house.

“This will put the details of the building on permanent record,” said Silversides, while also outlining the work that needs to be done. However, he already knows that work will need to be done on the house’s roof, and that the barn needs a serious spring cleaning.

“For the Town of Perth to consider any action on the Darou farm property, without properly documenting and fully examining all options… will minimize all the efforts of many citizens,” said Silversides.

However, he refused to be drawn on just how much rehabilitation costs could be.

“I don’t know,” he said. “If I said $10,000, I might be off by $10,000.”

Hugh McCullough knows a fixer-upper when he sees one, and has fixed up several area houses himself, like Jack Walker’s old house in Port Elmsley.

“It scared off anyone who would think of doing anything with this property,” he said of the Walker house.

But McCullough did express concerns for the continued viability of the circa 1900 farmhouse if nothing is done to fix its existing problems.

“Another winter or two, we are not going to be discussing if it can be restored,” said McCullough. “It will be lost… What it is now is slowly turning into a ruin. And that’s the entrance to Perth.”

He proposed one way in which the whole property could be made viable again would be as the host of an endangered tree park.

“It’s an eye catcher,” he said of the tree park. “It won’t disturb the heritage property.”

He also respectfully disagreed with Hollis’ request to move the structures from Perth.

“I don’t agree with moving it,” he said. “Where it is is perfect. I would restore it to its full potential. A lot of lipstick and rouge, you can bring it back to its potential. Once you move a heritage house, it loses its magic.”

He agreed with Silversides that the roofs needed attention, and he would move to stabilize them – at a cost of between $25,000 and $50,000. He also pointed out that, by his observation, there are about seven “spongy rafters” that need to be replaced. Thankfully for him, “I have nine other buildings that are full of lumber. I’ve got every kind of barn rafter that you can think of… I would start researching roofs right away, before the winter. Right now, you need to seal the two buildings.”

He promised that, within a two-year window, he could have both the barn and farmhouse refurbished. He was also aware of the challenges on that particular property.

“Perth’s not ready to send water out that far. I understand that,” he said. “That has always been a stumbling block…

(Also), what would it be like to live next to a landfill site?”

“This is a real different vision for the project,” said Mayor John Fenik, who recommended that a committee be struck to examine the future of the Darou farm site, and that it report back to the November COW meeting. “That building should not be dissembled. This is not preserving heritage, even if it is resurrected somewhere else. It is still tearing it down.”

“We need to move on and make a decision,” said Coun.

Judy Brown, but chastised the mayor for his comments. “I find it premature to lean one way or the other at this time.”

Deputy Mayor John Gemmell noted that the property was not even part of the town until fairly recently, and that it was only brought within its boundaries out of necessity.

“That became part of the town as part of a buffer around the landfill site,” Gemmell said. “Heritage was never part of it.”

Coun. Ed McPherson had financial concerns about just how much this would all cost the town’s taxpayers.

“This is not going to be inexpensive,” McPherson said.

“What is it going to cost?”

Fenik agreed that “we need some dollars attached to this.

We can’t have cloudy stuff.”

Tasers to be destroyed

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Insp. Derek Needham may have been considered new business last week, but he was still dealing with old business left over from his predecessor, and his baggage â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so to speak.

While tasers are a controversial weapon in the modern police officerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arsenal, the Lanark County OPP doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want the Perth Police Serviceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old tasers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobody wants â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em,â&#x20AC;? said Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Deputy Mayor, John Gemmell, during the Perth police services board meeting on Thursday, Sept. 12. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are too old to use,â&#x20AC;? said Needham, the new Lanark County detachment commander. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can destroy them for you.â&#x20AC;?

While Lanark-FrontenacLennox and Addington MP Scott Reid has been busy doling out defibrillators across the county on an annual basis, the police service boards in Carleton Place and Perth have asked the OPP to familiarize themselves with just where in the county those devices are located.

Needham confirmed that local OPP cruisers do not carry defibrillators. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that there is an issue with battery life in the cars,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will look into it.â&#x20AC;?

Needham also clarified for council just which events qualified for paid duty officers at their events, and which would be considered volunteer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it is any group other than a municipality, it is almost always paid duty,â&#x20AC;? said Needham, following a query about the policing bill sent to the annual Kilt Run. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not expecting

these fees,â&#x20AC;? said Shellee Evans, the Town of Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of community services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has to be paid duty for that type of event,â&#x20AC;? said Needham. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Santa Claus parade is not a revenue-generating event, so far as I know. We try to move officersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; shifts to accommodate that. We have no problem accommodating Remembrance Day ceremonies, Remembrance Day is never an issueâ&#x20AC;Ś(But) any group doing it as a commercial venture, it is paid duty.â&#x20AC;?

The Rideau Regattaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s powerboat display in the Crystal Palace parking lot last month did have a police presence, but it was pointed out that they were given a one-time freebie since it was their first time. The Stewart Park Festival has also budgeted for private security.

As for the Kilt Run, about 16 auxiliary officers were dispatched, but Needham was quick to point out that â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deploy them on their own, and I am limited in what I can send them to,â&#x20AC;? he said. They also cannot be used in lieu of paid officers.

Deputy Mayor John Gemmell had a concern about racers of a different sort in the downtown core. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people insist on letting us know how souped up their cars are,â&#x20AC;? said Gemmell.

Some parts of town also feel the reverberations of the Fast and the Furious wannabeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worse than others, like the intersection of Gore and Foster Streets, said PSB chair Stephanie Grey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like an echo chamber,â&#x20AC;? she said of the area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is not a decibel rating in the Highway Traffic Act,â&#x20AC;? said Needham. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see it being a prolific issue here in Perth.â&#x20AC;?

News – Enbridge may have some money to burn, but it’s making sure that it, along with your house contents, don’t burn, by donating $5,000 to two area townships.

“We applied for a grant for fire prevention and materials,” said Chief Greg Saunders, at the start of the Drummond/ North Elmsley, Tay Valley Fire Rescue board meeting in Perth on Monday, Sept. 9, of the donation by Enbridge Gas Distribution.

“Helping the community is our pleasure,” said Daniel Chenier, Enbridge’s regional customer connections manager, based in Ottawa. “We’re honoured to be here and to partner with the fire marshal’s office.”

The board chair, DNE Reeve Aubrey Churchill, stated that the training money was “a big help to a small fire department like ourselves. This money will be well spent” on things like DVDs, books, and other training materials.

“Firefighters face a myriad of demands,” said Tawnya Roberts, a fire protection advisor from the Ontario Fire Marshal’s office. “Training materials have become such a significant issue. I am sure it will go a long way in helping your community.”

BBD&E station chief Paul Cameron agreed, stating that “we’ll spend it on good training materials and staff to train our members,” all 55 of them.

RVCA works to rid the Tay of frogbit weed

By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

News – Marilyn Devolin said she had no idea the water plant in the Tay River in front of her home on Harvey Street was an invasive species.

In fact, it looks just like water lilies – only smaller.

European frogbit is an aquatic plant that is a free-floater. Its roots don’t find the bottom of the river bed, but float, causing oxygen depletion of the native plants, fish and wildlife.

“I didn’t know it was an invasive species at first,” said Devolin, who became aware of it through Friends of the Tay. “Chris Stone (chair of Friends of the Tay) told me about it,” she added. “So I called the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority and they helped get rid a whole lot of it.”

It was the end of August that Devolin said the RVCA was able to help them harvest the frogbit weed. They raked it out of the water, deposited into large paper leaf bags and transported it in a half ton to a waste management facility.

“It was marvelous; we had neighbours helping and we were able to get rid of a lot of it,” she said.

According to Sarah Macleod with the RVCA, European frogbit is quite common throughout the watershed.

“It was introduced as a possible ornamental plant to the Central Experimental Farm in Ottawa in the early 1930s and was found in the Rideau Canal in 1939. Since its introduction it has spread to many local lakes and RVCA provided a small boat, rakes, and the help of three summer students for the day to aid in the removal of this invasive species,” she said.

“Plants were removed by hand pulling and raking where appropriate, (and the) removed material was disposed of at area waste facilities.”

On Saturday, Friends of the Tay were at Crystal Palace where resource technician, Dustin Robert, explained a bit

more about the way in which to control improper disposal by water gardeners the population of this water weed. and by clinging to watercraft, trailers and equipment. It can displace native species and deplete dissolved oxygen “Since its introduction it levels, impacting fish and wildlife. It has spread to many local spreads naturally as pieces of the plant off and the water current moves it lakes and RVCA provided break downstream.

That’s the premise behind the first ever business symposium that is taking place at the Best Western Plus Perth Parkside Inn and Spa on Wednesday, Sept. 25.

Creating better cash flow will be discussed by Roy van der Mull of VDMA Training and Consulting Inc., who will show us how to create this by applying strategies on how to double sales and an HST technique.

Hillier makes principled stand Editorial –Now Randy Hillier is on the outside, looking in.

The Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington MPP was unceremoniously dumped by Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak last week as the party’s labour critic for, essentially, speaking his mind.

Just what was Randy’s crime?

Hudak said that Hillier leaked an internal Tory email to the media, in which he chastised the party for supporting a private members bill being put forward by Lambton-Kent-Middlesex MPP Monte McNaughton.

By doing that, he would have broken caucus confidentiality.

The only problem is that Randy still insists he didn’t leak the email to the media.

In an interview earlier this month with The Perth Courier, Hillier noted, half in jest, whole in earnest, that if he ever had any more concerns to bring to the attention of his fellow Tories, he would think twice about voicing them in an email.

Now, Hudak accuses Hillier of not being a team player.

If we take Hillier at his word that, in both cases, he did not leak the emails, then, his original intent was more helpful than hurtful. Hillier did want to keep any concerns within the family, and it was only because of constant leaks that these concerns got out.

“We do have a problem with brown envelopes here at Queen’s Park,” said Hillier.

Also, if Hudak is criticizing Hillier for what he said in his email about McNaughton, why is he only taking him to task now, when the email was sent out in May?

Hillier took a principled stand by voting against McNaughton’s bill for two reasons.

Firstly, and most importantly, by making a bizarre sight of standing with 15 New Democrat MPPs against the bill, Hillier was making a point he has made all along – that rules cannot be made for one group of people, and not another. Agree with him or not, but on issues like the Algonquin land claim and unionized workers, and in other areas, he has at least been consistent in this.

By giving construction giant EllisDon the freedom to no longer have closed union shops – essentially, allowing this one company to hire non-unionized workers – this bill gives them an advantage over other construction companies. It would make more sense, and would be in keeping with the party’s free enterprise mantra, to ask that all of Ontario’s construction industry be allowed to hire non-unionized workers.

The second reason he was right to vote against this bill was because of his allegation – unproven, mind you, with so far no other corroborating proof to back it up – that it was implied during a Tory meeting that, by voting for it, EllisDon would reward the party with donations.

But, if Hillier’s accusations are real, what message does it send to Ontario voters that Hudak has promoted McNaughton to Hillier’s old job?

Hillier may frustrate his critics with what he says, and how he says it. But he is consistent in what he says. By promoting McNaughton, and demoting Hillier for calling it like it is, Hudak seems to be pouring cold water on people who speak up, and encouraging support not for business as a whole, but, unfathomably, only for certain businesses instead.

Have you walked 7,000 steps today?

Lifestyle – OK. So you know how last week I said that Will Power was back thanks to a horror movie experience in a dressing room while buying pants?

Well, if you will permit me to beat a dead horse, I’ve got to tell you the latest.

Long-time readers may recall I have a friend in Calgary who routinely motivates me. We have similar stuff going on. We’re about the same age.

We both worked as gate attendants at Murphys Point Provincial Park. Back then we were both dark-haired, tall and thin. Now we’re both darkhaired, tall and...er...not quite so thin. We both have office jobs, two kids and all the body issues that can go with it.

A few years ago she introduced me to running, which was great until my foot went on strike. She continues, however, to have neat ideas to help get people working on fitness and nutrition goals.

A while ago she invited her friends and family to join a group on Facebook where we can set goals and motivate each other. For a while we were reporting in on what exercise we had done for the day. Some of my reports were short.

Things kinda slacked off (as they are wont to do). Summer sped by. Crickets could be heard chirping outside and on the Facebook site.

Never fear, though, my Calgary friend was ready with a new task: a Fitbit challenge.

A Fitbit is a little gadget you clip or strap on or stick in your pocket and it measures things like how many steps you take, the distance you travel in a day, the number of flights of stairs you take and how many “very active” minutes you complete as opposed to “moderate” or “light.” (It’s very picky about what it considers to be “very active” time.

You’ve really gotta hustle.)

You can also keep journals of the food you eat

Past Deadline STEPHANIE GRAY

and it measures how many calories you burn and tracks your weight. You can even monitor how well you sleep.

What’s that?

Unfortunately it doesn’t do dishes, but apparently you can log activities such as housework and it counts for

something.

So my friend’s challenge at the beginning of September was for everyone to log 7,000 steps per day, which is actually 3,000 less than the recommended daily minimum (recommended but someone important, obviously).Anyway, you gotta start somewhere right?

I did not own a Fitbit or a pedometer or an app I liked, so I played along by going for walks/runs and tracking my mileage through the Map My Run website.

I started off okay, but then I got a headache that lasted for three days and did not inspire much movement except to the medicine cabinet. After that I got a hangnail. And then the planets weren’t properly aligned, and then the dog ate my homework or something and etc.

Yeah, that’s how I roll. At least I was eating well thanks to a copy of Edvard Munch’s painting “The Scream” (deterrent!) taped to the inside of the cupboard where the “munchies” are kept. (Groan.)

Then, out of the blue, a friend who was aware of the challenge and who had upgraded to a newer Fitbit gave me her old one. Holy smokes! What fun!

I still have tonnes to figure out in terms of what the Fitbit does, but so far it has been a cool way to motivate me to get moving despite hangnails and planet alignment issues.

Incidentally, I’m doing very well on the number of floors I climb. I’m certain having the bathroom on the second floor really helps!

Alexander Fraser gets his plaque Support Small Business Lifestyle - Lieutenant Alexander Fraser will finally get what he deserves: a plaque commemorating his involvement with the Battle of Stoney Creek.

The woman behind this effort for Fraser’s recognition is Irene Spence, who has lived in Fraser’s former home for the past 65 years. Spence submitted a request to the 1812 Gravesite Project, asking that a graveside marker be installed at Fraser’s gravesite, located at the Old Burying Grounds on Craig Street.

The Gravesite Project a non-profit group that has come together to ensure the War of 1812 veterans get the recognition they deserve, not only in the defense of Canada, but also for their dedication in building the foundation of the Canada that we live in today.

Spence recently heard back from the committee with the good news that a plaque will be installed at Fraser’s grave.

The commemoration will officially occur with a public ceremony, which Spence says will take place in early October. As soon as the details have been confirmed, I’ll keep you posted.

For more information about the Graveside Project, visit the website at 1812veterans.com. Word of warning: you could easily spend an entire day reading about the gravesites and those who have been recognized.

Private “I” CATHY JAMES worry about when it comes to fears about shutting down operations.

Nearly 300 participants ran, walked, cycled or scootered (I’m confident that’s not a word) the 5or 10-km trek throughout town.

The shotgun start was the right choice as it made for an exciting launch as families and friends took part together. The best part? Participants more than doubled last year’s earnings, raising more than $23,000.

Terry Fox once said, “Even if I don’t finish, we need others to continue. It’s got to keep going without me.” I think it’s safe to say the Marathon of Hope will continue in Perth for years to come.

Walks with Tux A good source for this column suggested I look into the number of local shop owners who bring their pups to work each day. As Tux is somewhat of a Private I mascot, these canines have certainly become staples at each shop. If you know of a shop owner who brings their pup into work and ultimately making it an authentic experience, send me a note and we’ll chat about it in the next column.

Terry Fox Run doubles up on funds Recent news reports have surfaced outlining how Terry Fox Runs across Canada have dwindled in numbers over the past few years. The media outlets attributed this event fatigue to the lack of volunteers who have made this event so successful over the past three decades.

Know of a canine companion? Have another After experiencing Perth’s Terry Fox Run last Private I story for me? Please send me a note at Sunday, it’s clear Perth doesn’t have anything to cathyjames@live.ca

Politicians lack judgment with Tea Party speaker To the Editor: Many thanks to letter writer Doug Phillips (Reader questions politicians’ judgment regarding conference, Sept. 12, 2013) for following the money and connecting the dots linking Randal O’Toole, the Cato Institute speaker at the Property Rights Conference, to the notorious Koch brothers.

These American petroleum billionaires, in the name of “free enterprise,” fund and promote institutions and politicians to further their project of increasing oil profits, suppressing any and all opposition that arises from citizens impacted by the environmental, health, civic and social costs of such singleminded activity.

Naturally, this position makes perfect sense to politicians who subscribe to Stephen Harper’s equally short-term view of what’s best for Canada (or perhaps, Alberta, or maybe just Calgary. OK, maybe the members of the Petroleum Club).

What such people think they will do when the air is no longer fit to breathe, the water unpotable (that’s our well water, folks!), and the land poisoned, thanks to bitumen trainwrecks and flooded fracking terrain and tar sands, one can only wonder. Good luck to them in their “private property” fortresses.

Those of us who are committed to finding real solutions together for the challenges facing our neighbourhood and region can gather at Perth Legion, Thursday, Sept. 26 from 6 to 9:30 p.m. for the “Let’s Talk Resilience” (http://transitionperth.ca/event/lets-talk-resilience) meeting, sponsored by the Town of Perth. Resilience is defined as “the ability to respond constructively to changes in our world.” Topics include energy, environment, food security, health, housing, and employment. All are welcome.

What a pity we cannot expect to see Mr. Hillier and Mr. Reid there. How reassuring it would be if we could trust them to actually listen to our concerns as constituents.

LAWS seeks return as animal control contractor

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – The Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) wants to return as the Town of Perth’s provider for animal control services.

Currently, that role is carried out privately, but Robert Wilkes, representing the Perth chapter of LAWS, told the town’s committee-of-the-whole meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 10, that “LAWS is in a position to enter into an agreement with Perth” when the current contract ends on Dec. 31. He urged council to begin talks with LAWS for “entering into a new agreement with LAWS,” which used to provide the services to the town.

Wilkes admitted that there were problems with upper management at LAWS, but that there are new bosses running the

show.

“LAWS has come very close to closing in the last two years,” said Wilkes.

“If LAWS closed tomorrow, we would be up to our armpits in animals. This has been changed with new management…

A lot of the original problems were with the original management.”

He pointed out that at their facility in Drummond/North Elmsley Township they have added on to their building, and to deal with overflow situations, they have expanded their fostering program.

For example, during a recent overflow situation two weeks ago, 17 puppies showed up, and were fostered out. Wilkes and his wife also foster animals.

Jim Connell, director of protective services, reported to council that the town’s current provider has a one year

contract with the town until the end of the year, with the possibility of a oneyear extension.

“We are going to have to find a long term solution to this issue,” said Connell.

Public docks could be open by month’s end

10.

The docks were sold to a private buyer in 2004

by Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Shortly afterwards, public boat access to Rideau Ferry was terminated. By 2008, more than 1,000 signatures had been collected seeking public access to the waterfront.

The township purchased property from Parks Canada in May of 2013 at a cost of $17,000.

The new public docks will

be open to kayaks and canoes, with restrooms included, along with tourist kiosks and benches.

At 180 feet, “we will be replacing the exact length that was there before,” said Cameron. He added that while it was important for the docks “to create a sense of community,” they were also an important economic engine not only for the village but the township as well, giving Rideau and Tay canal boaters plying the waters between Portland and Smiths Falls access to stores like the LCBO, and services to patrons of the biennial Rideau Regatta.

“It’s a long way between Smiths Falls and Portland,” said Cameron. “Rideau Ferry is right in the heart.

Historically, it was a place to stop so we will bring that back.”

To help cover the cost of the docks, the township

secured $66,000 in funding from Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario, as well as a grant of $31,800 from the Valley Heartland Community Futures Development Corporation for “beautification.” DNE picked up the remaining $200,000. The regatta also donated $5,000 towards the project this year. While most of the money was accounted for, following public consultations, DNE Reeve Aubrey Churchill noted that there is still work to do.

“We are seeking $5,000 from the Town of Perth to support us,” said Churchill.

“The extra costs came from the washrooms and we didn’t have that in there (the budget)…we should’ve had it in there.

It (the docks) will be a dig destination. We will make sure it will look great.”

Perth Mayor John Fenik agreed that “it is a win-win for everybody. I will be supporting this. We are going to benefit from this.”

The request will now go in to the town’s budget process.

Figuring out purpose of life is one of our biggest challenges Lifestyle - Every human craves purpose. It is precisely this craving that causes us to ask questions like: “Where did I come from?”, “Why am I on planet Earth?”, and, “Am I an accident or is there some bigger reason for my life?”

Usually we define our purpose in relation to our station in life. For instance, if we have children, we conclude that our purpose is to be a mother; if we are students, we conclude that our purpose is to study; if we are retired, we conclude that our purpose is to enjoy a well-deserved break from work.

The problem with defining our purpose in relation to our station in life is that, eventually, we will change stations in life. Eventually, the children will grow up, the studies will be completed, the mortgage will be paid, and so on. This often leaves people adrift as they search desperately for a new purpose or “raison d’etre” in life. In the words of Thomas Carlyle: “The man without a purpose is like a ship without a rudder—a waif, a nothing, a no man.”

The ideal is to figure out a purpose for our lives that is not dependent upon our station in life; a purpose that holds in our 20s as well as in our 90s. So how do we figure out our life-long purpose?

A few guidelines might be helpful.

STEP 1: YOU ARE NOT AN ACCIDENT

Religion Today REV. JULIET SCHIMPF

To arrive at our purpose in life, it is helpful to embrace the fact that we are designed (or wired) by God on purpose.

Colossians 1:16 says, “For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible… everything got started in God and finds its purpose in Him.” This means that no one on the planet is an “accident.”

Isaiah 44:2 says, “I am your Creator.

You were in my care even before you were born.” Even atheists like Bertrand Russell admit that, without a Creator, lives can become meaningless and purposeless. Russell once said: “Unless you assume a God, the question of life’s purpose is meaningless.”

Once we understand that we are not an accident, we can then embrace the fact that life is a “temporary assignment.”

The key word here is “temporary.”

David once prayed, “Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be.

Remind me that my days are numbered, and that my life is fleeing away!”

SAFETY TIPS Home Escape Planning: If you are aware of someone living alone nearby, check with them to make sure they are safe.

(Psalm 39:4) To live a life of true focus, determination, and purpose, one must appreciate that one’s life is fleeting.

When we start to believe that we are immortal, we tend to coast through life without much intentionality.

STEP 2: YOUR PURPOSE IS GREATER THAN YOURSELF Often people define their purpose in relation to their personal goals or dreams. I often hear comments like: “My purpose is to become successful in my career.” In reality, all humans have been created with a purpose that extends far beyond their life-spans. As Proverbs 16:4 states, “The Lord has made everything for His own purposes.”

Rick Warren’s book, The Purpose Driven Life, is useful in figuring out our eternal purposes. In it, he writes, “You weren’t put on earth to be remembered.

You were put here to prepare for eternity.”

In order to prepare for eternity, we need to think about a “vertical” purpose and a “horizontal” purpose. Our vertical purpose is to look upward, heavenward, and to enjoy God. We don’t hear much these days about enjoying God but, as John Piper puts it, “The chief end of man and woman is to glorify God by enjoying Him forever.”

Our horizontal purpose is to look outward and to serve others. In the words of 1 Peter 4:10, ”God has given each of you some special abilities; be sure to use them to help each other, passing on to others God’s many kinds of blessings.”

STEP 3: CREATE A LIFE-PURPOSE STATEMENT FOR YOURSELF Billy Sunday once said that “More men and women fail through lack of purpose than lack of talent.” Without establishing a life-purpose statement for ourselves, we run the risk of wasting a lot of time and energy in the wrong areas. As it is, so much of our time is taken by trivial activities. Studies show that, in the average life-span, we spend six months at stop lights, four years doing housework, and six years eating.

We simply cannot afford to waste any more time in the wrong areas because, as Henry David Thoreau once pointed out: “As if you could kill time without injuring eternity.”

I’m a big fan of life-purpose statements. A wise mentor helped me to write mine a decade ago. Here it is: “To share the truth, the relevance, and the urgency of the gospel of Jesus Christ

PARK IT! Leave your car at home for a day, week or a month!

Try walking or biking. If work is too far away to walk carpool.

in word and deed.” If you’re interested in sitting down to write a life-purpose statement for yourself, here are some tips. First, make sure that your purpose statement won’t “expire” as you move through the seasons of life. David had a purpose that was relevant throughout his entire life: “I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress.” (Psalm 17).

Second, a life-purpose statement should be relational in meaning; that is, it should be all about people (not simply money, careers, cars, etc.). Jesus had a relational purpose statement. He said, “The Son of God came to seek and save those who are lost.” Third, a purpose statement should be short enough to memorize.

Mary K provides a good example. Its purpose statement is simply, “To enrich women’s lives.”

Lastly, your purpose statement should reflect your unique, Godgiven S.H.A.P.E. (spiritual gifts, heart, abilities, personality, and experiences).

No two purpose statements should be the same because no two humans are the same. As you set out to discover your unique, God-given purpose, feel free to give me a call any time. “Only one life, ‘twill soon be past; only what’s done for Christ will last.”

Stashick tied the score with his second of the game, assisted by Zac Rodier with about a minute and half to play.

Sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win a hockey game sitting in the penalty box â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just ask the Perth Jr. B Blue Wings who sat for more than an hour in two games played to kick off the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win games in the penalty box,â&#x20AC;? said Colin Glenn, the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assistant coach and general manager, as they recorded two tough losses against the Renfrew Timberwolves Friday night, and the West Ottawa Golden Knights on Sunday afternoon.

On Friday, the Blue Wings had 34 minutes in penalties. Sunday, they added another 38 minutes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Half the game in the penalty box? No, no, no, noâ&#x20AC;Ś and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to address that in (this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) practice,â&#x20AC;? Glenn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no way you can have any success sitting half the

game in the penalty box.â&#x20AC;?

All was not lost however, as Glenn said they will use the experience as a measuring stick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had them (Friday) with minutes to go, we were up 1-0 (over Renfrew). We made a few mental mistakes which cost us... Everything is within our control. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all correctable.

We have to be smarter.â&#x20AC;?

He said he is not looking to have a tough team, but they do want the boys to be physical and finish checks.

Not using excuses like poor refereeing, Glenn said the team had â&#x20AC;&#x153;11 opportunities (to score). We were right in front of the goalie, all we had to do was bury it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you can get even three or four of those opportunities into the netâ&#x20AC;Ś there you go.â&#x20AC;?

Algonquin College Perth launches fall Continuing Education program This is an eight-week credit course offered through the Woodroffe campus and can be used toward several programs including Business Administration, Human Resources Management, Applied Management, Business Marketing Management and more.

Students will be introduced to all of the human resources management specializations including the role of human resources within organizational and strategic contexts, human resources planning, employee recruitment and selection, training and development, performance assessment, compensation and benefits, employee relations and labour relations.

Furthermore, students are introduced to occupational health and safety, international human resources and relevant legislative framework.

“We have reached out to the residents and asked what courses they would be interested in taking for professional development,” explains Carter-Rose.

“We consistently heard Human Resources Management, so we’ve brought it to our campus. This will give locals a real classroom experience for a credit course without having to make the drive into Ottawa.”

The continuing education courses are open to anyone over 18 years of age (with the exception of the typing for teens course) and registration is now open!

Ready to register? Visit the Algonquin College Perth Campus website at algonquincollege.com/ perth Remember, it’s never too late to go back to school and learn a valuable skill. Even if you have a slight interest in a subject, learning more about it can be beneficial.

News - Whether it’s learning how to turn on a computer or deciphering the wines of France, community members can now register for the Algonquin College Perth Campus Continuing Education fall courses.

With more than 30 courses on the program roster, individuals can hand pick which area of interest they’d like to explore.

“We’ve really extended our list offering and considered every member of our community,” says Algonquin College Perth Campus Dean Shelley Carter-Rose. “We have a typing course for teens, photography courses for shutterbugs, a woodworking course for the craftspeople and everything in between.”

New classes this semester include Spanish classes, a chair repair course, a one-day meditation workshop, a stress reduction course and more.

Since the Perth Campus re-launched its continuing education program last fall, the response has been overwhelming.

“We have welcomed hundreds of community members to our campus this past year and that’s exactly what we wanted to do,” explains CarterRose. “We want to open our doors and allow the community to use our new facility and learn at the same time.”

Human Resources Management Credit Course on offer While the programs on offer through the Continuing Education program has been non-credit, general interest courses, the college has expanded its reach to accommodate Lanark County residents.

This October, the college will offer a credit course in Human Resources Management.

Four bestselling, award-winning writers to read in Westport Events – The Westport Arts Council’s sixth annual Writers Reading at the Westport United Church is fast approaching with an impressive lineup of performers on the bill.

Slated from 1 to 5:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 5, the event features authors Wayne Grady, Elizabeth Hay, Andrew Pyper and Merilyn Simonds. Merilyn Simonds is a highly regarded editor, anthologist, magazine writer, gardener, columnist, arts administrator, non-fiction author and novelist.

Her freelance writing covers a vast range of topics from gardening to art, and war to architecture. She published her first non-fiction book, The Convict Lover, in 1996, to rave reviews.

A national bestseller, it was nom-

inated for the Governor General’s Award for Literary Non-Fiction, translated into Japanese, Chinese and German, and adapted for the stage in 1998. Merilyn published her first novel, The Holding, in 2004, to equally strong reviews.

It became another bestseller, and a New York Times Book Review Editor’s Choice. Merilyn served as the 2012-13 chair of the Writers’ Union of Canada, and writes a monthly column, AboutBooks, for a daily newspaper. She is the artistic director of the Kingston WritersFest, now in its fifth year.

Grady is the acclaimed author of 14 books of nonfiction, including Breakfast at the Exit Cafe, which he co-authored with his wife, Merilyn Simonds. He has been the editor of Harrow-

smith and Equinox magazines, and has translated the works of such writers as Antonine Maillet, Yves Beauchemin, and Louis Hamelin. His translation of Maillet’s On the Eighth Day won him a Governor General’s Award. In total, Grady has published more than 40 books, receiving many awards and other acknowledgements in the process. His most recent book, his first novel, Emancipation Day, is a fictionalized retelling of his father’s difficult journey of self-discovery.

The couple lives near Athens.

He teaches online in the creative writing MFA program at the University of British Columbia.

Hay is an award-winning, much anthologized short story writer and novelist. A former

CBC broadcaster, Hay has traveled widely and lived in, among other places, the Northwest Territories, Winnipeg, Mexico, Toronto and New York City. A published author for almost 20 years, Hay received the Scotiabank Giller Prize for her second last novel, Late Nights on Air, a major bestseller. Her previous books, including Small Change, A Student of Weather (a finalist for the Giller Prize), Garbo Laughs (a finalist for the 2003 Governor General’s Award for Fiction), were highly praised.

Her latest novel, Alone in the Classroom, achieved the bestseller list in both hardcover and paperback, and was included in the Globe and Mail’s Best Books for 2011. Hay lives in Ottawa.

Pyper is a writer with a growing list of bestselling novels to his credit, the most recent of which is this spring’s The Demonologist. Chosen one of Amazon’s Ten Best Books of the Year So Far, a Book-of-the-Month Club Selection, and the recipient of many other awards, The Demonologist will soon be available in more than a dozen foreign language editions. Film rights have been sold to Universal Pictures.

His other titles include Kiss Me, a collection of short stories, and the novels Lost Girls, The Trade Mission, The Wildfire Season, The Killing Circle, and The Guardians, four of which have been optioned for film. Pyper holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in English Literature

from McGill University, and a law degree from the University of Toronto. The spectacular success of his first novel, Lost Girls, winner of the Arthur Ellis Award for Best First Novel in 2000, allowed him to write full time from his home in Toronto. He has never practiced law.

Tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for seniors and students, including refreshments and are for sale around Westport at Murphy's Barber Shop, 5 Church St. (613-273-2145), at The Cove, 2 Bedford St. (613-273-3636 or 1-888-COVE-INN), and Stillwater Books, 29 Church St. (613-273-4625), or at the door, if available.

Boldt pushes for paper ballot option at 2014 municipal vote desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Coun. Jim Boldt would like to see the return of at least one paper ballot poll in time for the next municipal election. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want this new-fangled technologyâ&#x20AC;Ś and I want to mark an X, I can go to the town hall,â&#x20AC;? said Boldt during the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s committee-of-the-whole meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 17.

Deputy Mayor John Gemmell agreed that bringing back the oldfashioned ballot may help boost the chronically anemic turnout for municipal elections.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you brought the ballot back you might get some people back,â&#x20AC;? said Gemmell, though he admitted that it was good to get people to â&#x20AC;&#x153;switch overâ&#x20AC;? to internet and telephone voting.

Coun. Beth Peterkin also relayed the concerns of senior citizens about the safety of their personal information online. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of our older population donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trust giving personal and private information online or over the telephone,â&#x20AC;? said Peterkin.

But town clerk Lauren Walton insisted that the telephone and Internet would remain as the

only two ways to let your voice be heard in 2014, just as it was in 2010 and 2006. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be a room set up with a telephone and a number of computers,â&#x20AC;? said Walton, town staff on hand to offer their help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They (senior voters) were very nervous about the process,â&#x20AC;? said Walton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we talked them through it.â&#x20AC;?

When a voter would ask, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now what do I do?â&#x20AC;? she would often respond with, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it?â&#x20AC;? came the reply from behind her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes,â&#x20AC;? she would say.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, I couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done this from home!â&#x20AC;? the voter would reply.

Mayor John Fenik pointed out that the virtual voting system â&#x20AC;&#x153;was originally designed for the elderly,â&#x20AC;? though he admitted â&#x20AC;&#x153;we had a little bit of a glitch last time.â&#x20AC;? Across the Valley, voting was delayed in 2010. In Missis-

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Perth Mayor John Fenik is backing a union petition to get operating hours on the Rideau Canal restored to 2011 levels.

The petition also calls for fees to be restored to where they were two years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been a disastrous season across the canal,â&#x20AC;? said Fenik during the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s committee-of-the-whole meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 10. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The feds (federal government) have made a mess of it.â&#x20AC;?

He alleged that businesses along the canal route will likely close before next season.

Walton estimated that it would cost about $30,000 to hold a traditional paper ballot election. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I found out later that that was a low estimate,â&#x20AC;? said Walton. Instead, the last election cost only $19,000.

Fenik pushes for CCTV cameras downtown

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Hey, vandals, you’re on candid camera.

Or, at least, you will be, if Mayor John Fenik has his way.

“I want people to know that, ‘Smile, you’re on Candid Camera,’” said Fenik during the town’s committee-of-the-whole meeting on Tuesday, Sept.

10. “If you are wilfully destroying town property, you will be filmed. I want these people caught and brought to justice to the full extent of the law.”

Fenik proposed that cameras be trained on the band shell between town hall and Stewart Park and on Gore Street.

“I don’t care if people consider this Big Brother,” said Fenik, referencing George Orwell’s classic novel 1984. “If I have a tape of vandalism being done on town property, they (the police) will follow up with this. The only way to do that is with evidence. If I had a business, I would be using CCTV cameras.”

The idea was supported by Coun. Jim Boldt, who stated that closed-circuit television cameras “should be a deterrent. If there were a camera, maybe there would be a chance to catch them.”

Boldt pointed to a recent incident on Gore Street East, where a criminal hurled a brick through the window of a car, and stole a purse, in broad daylight, as an example of the brazen attitude of some criminals.

At left, not-so-private eyes, they’re watching you, or, they will be, if Mayor John Fenik gets his wish to train closed-circuit television cameras on the band shell behind town hall and on Gore Street East. Here, a sign outside of a Smiths Falls business warns people that they are being recorded, around the clock.

Council looks at pros, cons of bottle ban

Perth Plant

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – The debate over banning bottled water from town-operated facilities is now overflowing with information.

“There has been a lot of correspondence on this issue,” said Coun. Beth Peterkin at Perth’s committee-of-thewhole meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 10.

Following a presentation by a campaigner seeking to ban bottled water sales at town facilities this past August, the town’s environmental services division is looking into the issue, and will present a report to council in November.

After reading The Perth Courier’s coverage of the presentation, and a subsequent letter to the editor, a representative from Nestle Canada drove from Guelph, Ont., drove to Perth to meet personally with Mayor John Fenik for an hour-long meeting.

“There are definitely two sides to every story on this,” said Fenik.

Coun. Jim Graff reported that Kingston and London are looking at banning bottled water sales at their facilities, but that their respective health units are opposed to the bans because “it will initiate more pop and fruit juices (sales) which is probably less healthy,” than water.

Cloudy water situation no clearer on McLean Boulevard

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – There is no clear solution for making McLean Boulevard’s water supply clear again.

“The staff can’t seem to put their finger on what is happening,” said Coun. Ed McPherson, during Perth’s committee-of-the-whole meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 10.

“There is a problem with the water on McLean Boulevard.

It (the problem) would go away, (then) it comes back.

I think we owe the people on

McLean Boulevard.”

However, McPherson hastened to add that, “I don’t blame town staff. They are trying their best,” and have been trying to flush out the water pipes, to no avail.

As such, McPherson asked that McLean Boulevard be moved up the line for water pipe rehabilitation, from the four-year wait they are now looking at in the line-up.

“The street wasn’t built properly,” said McPherson.

“It was built by a private contractor in 1965.”

Even if the water was still

safe to drink was beside the point for Deputy Mayor John Gemmell.

“Whether you can drink it or not, it is still coloured,” said Gemmell.

Environmental services director Grant Machan told the committee, “we haven’t looked at it, at the financial level, yet,” for moving the project up the list, since places like Boulton Street are also having problems with their water. Mill Street is also having problems with its small diameter drain, to the point where, if a tap is being run, it

means that the house’s toilet cannot be flushed. “(But) McLean is definitely on the list and there is flexibility,” said Machan.

Church Street is another problem street, which Mayor John Fenik said he has driven down, though “I wouldn’t even call it a street.” He called for a discussion on how to “expand the public works budget.”

Town staff were directed to submit a report to council Photo by DESMOND DEVOY

LAWS sees success with pilot humane education program Lifestyle – Back in January 2012 Beth Searle, OCT was a stay at home mum who was then five months pregnant with her second child. A beautiful Siamese cat found its way on to her wooded property in Almonte and was sitting on her porch staring her down through the window.

As Searle is deathly allergic, she called LAWS (Lanark Animal Welfare Society) to pick up the poor thing that had clearly been dumped on her property.

Upon meeting with the staff from LAWS that day, Searle opened her mouth and said “is there any way I can help?”

Skip forward 18 months and Searle is now the humane education coordinator for LAWS. Having taught for several years in Ottawa as an elementary school teacher, Searle and her husband decided to move to Almonte as they both wanted a rural life for their children. After that meeting with the LAWS staff and a phone call later, Searle offered to help develop a humane education program for LAWS. Over the next several months and one child delivery later, a program was written. The board of directors for LAWS met and reviewed all of the material, lesson plans and resources pooled together and written by this former teacher and gave their seal of approval. This past fall was the pilot program of the LAWS humane education program, and Searle was a proud mama to be representing LAWS. “It was wonderful stepping back in to the classroom as it is what I am trained to do, but to get develop and implement a program for our community while promoting the importance of animal welfare for LAWS was pretty much the perfect volunteer job,” says Searle.

Searle volunteered for the humane education program all of last year under the supervision of LAWS’ board of directors. This past July, the board decided to hire Searle as a contractor to continue the humane education program.

You may wonder what the programs entail. Searle brings her temperament-

Last year’s Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) pilot humane education program was so successful that its co-ordinator Beth Searle, above with her eight-year-old Chocolate Labrador Bailey, has been hired on as a contractor. Under the program, Searle

visits schools across the Upper Canada District School Board along with Bailey, to help children from junior kindergarten up to Grade 12, foster an appreciation for living creatures and develop compassion and a sense of justice.

trained dog Bailey (an eight-year-old Chocolate Lab rescue dog) in to the classrooms all across the Upper Canada District School Board and Catholic Board, from junior kindergarten up to and including Grade 12. Every lesson plan Searle developed is “age and classroom appropriate; all lessons focus on assisting the children in developing compassion, a sense of justice and a respect for the value of living creatures.”

The program also boasts of fostering a sense of responsibility on the part of children to make choices and act upon their personal beliefs via the lessons either Searle delivers in the classroom or provide for the teachers to deliver themselves (as some lessons are written to be delivered over the course of a week).

It is worth mentioning that this program is offered to our community free of charge. LAWS is a not-for-profit, nokill shelter and as such do no charge any fee for the humane education visits and programs offered. Donations are always appreciated though.

This month, Searle will be contacting every school in our region to see if they would like to participate in the humane education program. Teachers and principals (and family members, too!) are encouraged to visit the website for more details. If you would like your children’s school to have a presentation simply let your school know.

“We were very busy in our first year; our community gave this program so much support. I hope this coming year we will be able to visit even more school aged children and get the message out on the importance of humane education in our community,” says Searle.

For more information please visit www.lanarkanimals.ca/humane_ed.html where you will find more details about the lesson plans offered for teachers to use and or for Searle to present to your class, as well as photos taken over the last year of visits in the classroom.

Paul Wilson’s first car: A 1969 Plymouth Fury III “With gas prices climbing, I sold the car back to my dad and bought a ’73 Ford Pinto in 1976. My brother drove the Plymouth for a few more years while attending the University of Guelph. We sold it talked me out of it, saying the insurance would kill me if the car didn’t. I had been working three part-time jobs at a machine shop, supermarket, and school library, and managed to save $1,000.

“Soon after graduation, Dad came home one day and told me a guy at work was selling a ’69 Plymouth Fury III for $900. It was a beauty. It was bright red, four-door, 318 V8, automatic, black interior, 90,000 miles and no rust. I bought it. That summer I was on cloud nine. We made trips to the beach, the drive-in, the drags, dances, you name it.

The car was a land yacht by today’s standards but per-

formed well. I even ran the car at the drags at Cayuga and it consistently ran the quarter mile at 17.60 seconds and 76 mph. I won eight times that summer.”

“In the fall, we started Conestoga College. I car pooled and had three girls who paid me five dollars each for gas.

I could fill the tank back then for $15. One night coming home from the races, a small Ford Cortina ran a stop sign in Cambridge and T-boned us.

No one was hurt and I got a new paint job out of it! Another night returning from the US, I lost all my dash lights.

We fixed that with a rolled up foil from a pack of cigarettes.

in the early ‘80s and never saw it again.”

Lifestyle – Paul Wilson lives in Kitchener, Ontario, and is very active in the local chapter of the Model A Ford Owners Club. His first car was a lot faster: “Certain things are monumental in everyone’s life and things happen that you will never forget. The year 1974 was one such year for me as I had passed my driver’s license on November 2, 1973, and was finishing my last year of high school at Cameron Heights. I was 18, college would be starting in the fall, and weekend trips with buddies and girlfriends were becoming more common as we spread our wings.

“Like all young guys, I was eager to get wheels but ran into roadblocks with my parents over money, kind of car, insurance, etc. As a drag racing fan, I had my eye on a ’67 Camaro my neighbour was selling but my parents

IN MEMORIAM

IN MEMORIAM

COADY, Sean Douglas In loving memory of our dear son, who tragically was taken too soon, September 16, 2006.

Every day our hearts are filled with sorrow, Wondering how we will make it through tomorrow.

Our time with you was precious, And the memories we have are too.

The love we share together keeps us close to you.

Maybe we cannot touch your hand or see your smiling face, Maybe we cannot hear your voice or feel your warm embrace, But, there is something we will always have, Tucked safely in our hearts, Our love for you… your love for us… will never let us part.

“Those we love stay with us always, locked in our hearts as long as our life remains.”

Love, Mom and Dad

“WE REMEMBER” Just inside the main entrance of the C.R. Gamble Funeral Home is a book of remembrance. Each day we turn a page in the book. The names of those we have served are inscribed on that date along with the year in which they passed away.

It is our way of honouring and remembering a life that was lived. It is also our way of

IN MEMORIAM

COADY, Sean Douglas Remembering my fun and loving brother… my best friend… who left this earth, much too soon, September 16, 2006.

Seven years have passed...

Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you and wish for one more laugh, one more hug.

Time passes… the grief remains, but I know that you would say…

Keep my memory with you, For memories never die.

I will always be there with you, When you look up in the sky.

When your heart is heavy And you feel you are alone, Reach deep down inside yourself For your heart is now my home.

I will always be there with you I will never go away I will live on within your heart Each and every day.

“In my mind I see you and in my heart I keep you…”

Love, Erin

G N I N N I W U O ISE RYEALITY IS, YOUR’RE HELPING CHEO

TH

My sister Shannon suffered from a congenital heart disease, a condition that made it difficult for her to eat, breathe or move. She was so fragile that she spent the entire first year of her life at CHEO, so I ended up spending my days at the hospital with my parents and my sister. CHEO became my second home: it was where my family and I spent most of our time, where my sister went to preschool and where I made friends.

B M E V O N , Y A D I R F

I remember that the staff at CHEO always made time for me whether it was by saying hello, giving me a hug or taking me to the playroom, while my sister underwent various procedures. The nurses, especially, were my heroes; it was their caring words and gentle touch that carried my family through some very difficult days.

WITH SO MANY GREAT PRIZES IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE THERE’S MORE!

Unfortunately, two weeks before her fourth birthday, Shannon passed away. Her strength and resilience throughout her illness were exceptional and she always had a smile for me.

But, lottery organizers are excited to introduce an incredible addition to the lottery

At three months of age, Ava was admitted to CHEO where she was diagnosed with failure to thrive, severe acid reflux and several food allergies. Failure to thrive is a condition that can have serious repercussions on a child’s stature, emotional and behavioral development.

Ava required a hypoallergenic formula via continuous nasogastric feeds (a feeding tube placed in the nose) and a few medications to help settle her stomach. After a five week stay at CHEO, she was transitioned to thickened bottles and we were finally able to bring her home.

Following her discharge, Ava continued to thrive with outpatient support from CHEO, and although she was smaller than most kids her age, she seemed to be on the upswing.

But one morning I found Ava sweating, trembling and difficult to arouse. That day Ava had the first of a few ambulance rides back to CHEO where she was recently diagnosed with ketotic hypoglycemia, a rare but serious form of Little did I know then that my husband and I would return to CHEO once we became parents. low blood sugar.

Our daughter Ava was born prematurely and Despite all of these challenges, and with jaundiced, but looked like a happy, healthy baby. continued support from CHEO, Ava has grown into the sweet, smart and high-spirited threeyear-old girl she is now.

The nurses, especially, were my heroes; it was their caring words and gentle touch that carried my family through some very difficult days.

”

In order for CHEO to thrive and grow with us, they need financial support from our community.

Please help support CHEO so that they can continue to change lives… as they did mine.

Several years later, inspired by the amazing nursing staff at CHEO, I became a nurse—and funnily, as part of my training in the Bachelor of Nursing, I worked on the same unit where my sister had been treated.

Unfortunately, once at home we noticed that something was wrong. Ava would have projectile vomiting after every single feed. No experience or education could have prepared us for the stress associated with having a sick child.
