Many Canadians want to emulate Terry Fox’s courage – but would rather do without the cancer that cost him his leg.

However, the parents of one young woman told the crowd gathered for the annual Perth Terry Fox Run at Conlon Farm on Sunday, Sept. 17, that their daughter, Emery Vanderburg, now 21, found out that she discovered that she had osteosarcoma.

The same type of cancer Fox battled in the early 1980s, two days after she turned 17. She was able to beat cancer through aggressive chemotherapy, but, like Fox, she too had to have part of her leg amputated.

With his wife Rhena by his side, Emery’s father Tony thanked organizers, runners, and walkers.

Days like the Terry Fox Run are not just for cancer survivors, said Tony, but “it’s also for the caregivers and the community.” He called cancer a foe many fear, but he was adamant that “we can defeat it … if we can all work together.”

While his daughter may have lost a part of her leg, “she has taken that struggle and found a new passion to live,” said Tony. He added that the “research and development dollars we are all bringing to the table today are so, so important.”

Another prominent cancer fighter was on hand at the run. “Austin’s Army” rallied behind 18-yearold Austin Ritz, a well known musician who often performed at charity concerts, was that morning backed up by a whole battalion of marchers who walked and/or raced the route to raise money for cancer research.

According to organizers, as of Monday, Sept.

18, the annual event has so far raised about $28,336 in donations.

Ontario Festival of Small Halls kicks off with memorable shows Live music is energizing rural spaces with history and heart across eastern Ontario, as the Ontario Festival of Small Halls kicked off last week and continues this weekend.

The festival is getting hands clapping and toes tapping this month as it

welcomes an inspiring combination of big names in music and local opening acts to treasured local small halls until Oct. 1.

The festival hit local stages at Stonefields Heritage Farm in Beckwith and the Chaffey’s Lock Community Hall

to start the 2017 events last weekend, before creating more memorable experiences at halls in Athens, Morton, Balderson, Tamworth, Almonte, Dunvegan and Winchester.

The Ontario Festival of Small Halls expanded to include more than 30 ru-

ral locales this year, paying tribute to cherished small town spaces. National and international musicians still coming up on the schedule include Ashley MacIsaac, The Abrams, Leif Vollebekk, Old Man Luedecke, Dave Gunning, Rosie and the Riveters, Birds of

Chicago and more. All are ready to share small stages with opening acts which are local to each community.

“It’s so special to witness audience reaction to seeing these big names in music in intimate venues,” said Kelly Symes, general manager for the Ontario Festival of Small Halls. “Seeing these artists in a setting which allows you to relish the music and connect with local community is such a unique experience.”

This month, the Ontario Festival of Small Halls also announced community events surrounding several of the small halls shows. From a celebration of local food to markets and tapas, Symes said the events in conjunction with the Festival celebrate community and further showcase authentic spaces.

Find out more about the remaining Small Halls schedule and upcoming community events at www.ontariosmallhalls.com and be sure to connect with the festival on social media for updates! Tickets can be purchased online or by calling 613-402-1425.

More than 50 people came out to participate in the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust’s third annual Walk on the Wild Side at High Lonesome Nature Reserve Sept. 10. The walk was led by naturalist Michael Runtz.

Runtz keeps crowd spellbound during third annual ‘Walk on the Wild Side’ On Sunday, Sept. 10, the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust (MMLT) held its third annual Walk on the Wild Side with “naturalist Supremo” Michael Runtz at High Lonesome, its 200-acre property near Pakenham with its delightful mix of rich wetlands, forests, and meadows.

Runtz is one of Canada’s most highly-respected naturalists. The 50 participants were

held spellbound by his insights about plants, insects, birds, and, of course, beavers as he transformed a simple walk along the High Lonesome trails into an amazing adventure in the wild.

To date, MMLT has legally protected more than 2,400 acres of sensitive lands in eastern Ontario. MMLT believes that nature experiences provide numerous benefits that contrib-

Police taking aim at pocket dials, unintentional 911 calls with new campaign Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has received more than 142,130 911 calls from Jan. 1 to June 30 of this year and 299,100 in 2016. In 2016, the OPP was able to confirm more than 2,000 pocket dials; however, over 30,000 remained as unknown wireless calls.

Ontario's unintentional calls have decreased over the last few years, but more work needs to be done. OPP is launching the #KnowWhenToCall campaign this fall to further educate the public on unintentional calls, including pocket dials, to 911. They continue to urge the public not to call 911 unless it's an emergency, and not to let children play with mobile phones or tablets.

"Everyone needs to remember that 911 is to be used only when the safety of people or property is at risk and requires immediate assistance such as a fire, a crime in progress, or a medical emergency.

Avoiding pocket dials helps ensure our officers are able to respond to real

emergencies. We encourage everyone to be part of the solution to prevent accidental 911 calls,” stated Superintendent Kari Dart, Director — Provincial Communications Operations — OPP Communications and Technology Services Bureau.

As of Sept. 14, the OPP will be using its social media platforms to launch a public education campaign to remind the public to be careful about unintentional or 'pocket dial' calls to provincial communications centres, and what to do if they accidentally call 911. Included in the campaign are posters, poster cards, and short videos also available for use by schools and community partners to help get the message out. The campaign will run over a three-week period with the first release aimed at youth returning to school, followed by two more releases in the following weeks.

The campaign products will be available to the media and public on the OPP website (www.OPP.ca) un-

der the 911 page.

Pocket dials happen when a mobile device carried in a pocket, purse, backpack, or other piece of clothing accidentally activates the keypad, causing the emergency call. Many calls still occur when young children are given cellphones and smartphones to play with as toys.

Even old, inactive devices with the SIM card removed can be used to dial 911.

For every unintentional call or pocket dial received, an emergency communicator must determine whether a real emergency exists and if police, fire, or paramedics should be

dispatched. With every unintentional call received, precious seconds may be taken away from someone who really needs help.

If you place an unintentional 911 call, stay on the line to let the emergency operator know it was a pocket dial/unintentional call. Every 911 call is taken seriously. When a 911 caller doesn't respond, that could be a sign of trouble — a possibility an emergency responder can't ignore.

"For every 911 call the OPP receives, regardless of whether it is a real emergency or an accidental pocket dial, there is a

cost to the municipality,” explained Don Sherritt, chair of the North Grenville Police Services Board. “Our residents are encouraged to work with us and the OPP to help reduce the non-emergency calls to 911, which frees up officers to respond to actual emergencies and saves taxpayers' money.

The North Grenville Police Services Board supports this collaborative, province-wide campaign because we know it works."

You can prevent pocket dials or unintentional 911 calls by: • Using the keypad lock feature. Keypad locks, some of

Ryan Jacobs to serve as Indigenous trustee for Upper Canada District School Board The Upper Canada District School Board is pleased to announce that an accredited teacher and community leader from the Akwesasne Territory will serve as Indigenous trustee with the school board.

Ryan Jacobs, a sitting member of the Mohawk Council, will be sworn in on Sept. 13 at the first school board meeting of the new school year. He will replace former Indigenous trustee Peter Garrow, who retired on Aug. 31 after more than a decade of dedicated service on the board of trustees.

The 36-year-old community leader serves in the education portfolio with the council, acting as a liaison with the director of the Ahkwesahsne Mohawk Board of Education (AMBE) to ensure the education system best serves the needs of students in the territory. Trustee Jacobs is one of 13 chiefs on the Mohawk Council.

Jacobs says he looks forward to his new role.

“I think it’s a great opportunity to work with the outside communities,” he stated.

“The more I can learn about how everything

works in the outside territories, in addition to the knowledge I already have from serving the AMBE, it will benefit the community where I come from. I hope to ensure we get more services and equivalent services. I think that in building those bridges we can all

work together.”

Jacobs is a graduate of the School of Education and Professional Studies at the State University of New York Potsdam. He served as a teacher in academic support for students in AMBE, and also worked for the Massena Central School

District. Despite a busy schedule, Jacobs also finds time to organize a softball league in the territory and coaches minor lacrosse.

“We are very much looking forward to working with trustee Jacobs in the important role our board has in educating

Indigenous students within our district,” said chair Jeff McMillan. “As an educator and member of the Mohawk Council, trustee Jacobs will bring a unique and qualified perspective to the role.”

Georgette Fry brings her sound back to Station Theatre Sept. 29 Georgette Fry is coming to the Station Theatre in Smiths Falls Sept. 29. Tickets are going fast because once Fry gets in your head, it’s hard to pass her by.

Delighted to return to the “wonderful, intimate” space of the Station Theatre after her visit last year, she admits she finds big venues impersonal. As she’s not much of a talker and likes to move from one song directly to the next, she finds small spaces with good acoustics suit her best.

For the last 40 years, she has been singing in that “grey area” between blues and jazz, and that’s where her gritty, gutsy voice entices and excels.

“I love the wonderful melodies of the older music — Aretha Franklin and Etta James. The new music is boring,” she laughingly confides. Her era is “early jazz, ‘40s, more obscure blues”.

And she’s not averse to the audience getting up and dancing. “It’s kind of hard to see toes tapping when people are sitting,” so if you want to dance, she says, get up and dance.

Backed up by “her guys” — a five-man group of “phenomenal musicians”, some of whom have been with her for a while and some brand new — she admits she’s only as good as her band. There’s Ken Hall on keyboard, Duncan Holt on drums, Zak Colbert is the bassist, Bunny Stewart playing tenor sax and other horns, and newbie Matthew Wray on guitar. Singing and working with them is like “walking around in slippers” — just plain comfortable. She considers herself a member of the band, not the front. It’s a symbiotic relationship, she adds, and a lot of fun.

There was a period in her life when she wrote songs as well as sang (although she admits she’s not much of a songwriter) and “maybe someday” she’ll get back to writing, but for the moment her 24 Shout Sister choirs take most of her time.

Who knew, she asked, that the people for whom she started the choirs would turn around and nominate her for a Meritorious Service Medal. It was “surreal” getting the call from the Governor

COMMENTARY

W

Feeding the tax habit

ith the provincial government’s recent announcement about Ontario’s framework to manage federal legalization of cannabis, we are once again wondering about the extent to which bureaucracy will grow in order to manage legal weed and ensure that governments receive their share of revenue from its sale.

In noting the time and effort that law enforcement spends dealing with existing laws prohibiting the use and distribution of small amounts of pot, police will now have to prepare for whatever new regulations are put into place to ensure that government-sanctioned sales through standalone cannabis stores and an online order service overseen by the LCBO can be maximized.

It will be interesting to see how enforcement will work; it would only be legal to use recreational marijuana in private residences, according to the approach put forward by the government last week.

We don’t take issue with the province’s proposal to set 19 as the minimum age to use, purchase or possess recreational canna-

bis; it matches the legal drinking age as well as the sale of tobacco. And at least Ontario appears to be ahead of the pack, as it is the first province or territory to make public its approach to marijuana oversight. We also acknowledge the quotes from cabinet ministers about protecting communities and roads (consumption inside a motor vehicle would reportedly be prohibited) as well as young people and so-called “vulnerable populations” in terms of public health and harm reduction.

It’s another example of the balancing act that governments must conduct with adult behaviour. Make an effort to mitigate the harmful effects of a product or experience by way of public awareness campaigns or addiction treatment funding, but continue to reap the benefits. We see it with cigarettes and alcohol and gambling, and marijuana will soon be added to the list. The long-term health costs might cancel out the gains in the context of the big picture, but governments tend to develop a reliance on the revenue.

Audrey’s essay leaves Mary feeling grateful for her sister You didn’t have to guess what grade Miss Crosby was talking to in our one-room schoolhouse.

She had only to look down from her desk and cast her eyes on those she wished to speak to, and the rest of us were expected to keep ourselves busy.

That day she told the Senior Fourths, my sister and brothers' grade, that she had a special lesson for them. They were to write an essay on all the things that made them happy and grateful. It was their homework, and Miss Crosby gave them a week to do it in.

As often happened when my sister Audrey was doing her homework at the kitchen table at night, she would take a piece of paper and hand me a pencil, and she would print simple words,

and I would have to copy them to improve on my printing. I had yet to learn to write.

She would do the same with simple arithmetic sums, and I was never sure if what Audrey did was because she was anxious that I keep up with those in my grade at school, or if she was practicing to be a teacher, which was what she dreamed of being when she was finished at the Northcote School.

And so when she was working at the table that night on her essay, she seemed very deep in thought. She kept looking my way, and once she even patted my hand and smiled. I thought this all very odd, but then, it was pretty hard for me, so much younger than Audrey, to second guess what was on her mind.

It was getting close to bedtime, and I asked Audrey if she would read to me what she had written. She said she had a lot more to write, and besides, she didn’t think Miss Crosby would want anyone else to read it before she handed it in. I certainly wasn’t going to question my sister, but I would sure have loved to hear what made her happy and grateful. And I wondered if she dared to write that when Mother bought her her very

first bra at Walker’s Store, she said she was never as happy in her whole life! Gone were the strips of flour bagging that she tied around her chest!

Could that be what she was writing about? No, because it wasn’t unusual for Miss Crosby to read what a pupil had written if she thought it deserved it.

And that would mortify my shy sister Audrey!

Well, every night Audrey got out her scribbler and wrote, erased, wrote and erased some more. My brothers had finished long ago, and had already handed in their essays to Miss Crosby. And then just the day it was due, Audrey gave it one final read, and put it on the corner of the teacher’s desk. I thought I would never know what had

taken Audrey so long to write.

And then the day came when Miss Crosby had read all the essays, and handed them back. I saw that my sister had three gold stars on the top sheet. One star was a real honour ... but three stars were right up there with getting top honours in the spelling bee! Audrey quickly tucked the sheets into her book bag. It was many weeks later when my best friend Velma was over to play that I found Audrey’s essay in the back of her washstand drawer, and I asked Velma if she would read it to me. Velma was in one grade higher than I was, smart as a whip, and had long since learned to write instead of print, and could also read. Well!

made her happiest was when she read to me at night before we went to bed. She said just watching me, her little sister, smile, and sometimes laugh, or stay perfectly still as the story unfolded, brought her the utmost happiness, and then she finished her essay by saying she was grateful she had a little sister like Mary! I didn’t let on to Audrey that I knew what her essay was about, but I knew I too had something to be both happy and grateful for, for a very long time to come.

Better public transit opportunities on the way for Lanark County residents Lanark County residents who aren’t able to drive a car, can’t afford one, or want a greener alternative (and aren’t able to use the few public transit options currently available), will be delighted to know that a Lanark County transit advisory committee is making great progress in exploring solutions for getting around.

It’s difficult right now to get around the county or commute to work if you don’t drive a car. Consider the logistics. Lanark County covers an area of 3,034 km2 criss-crossed by over 2,000 km of roads, and its 66,000 residents vary in population density from 5/km2 (Lanark Highlands) to 1,110/km2 (Carleton Place).

Add to this the proximity to Ottawa of Carleton Place, Mississippi Mills and Beckwith. From Carleton Place alone, about 5,000 people commute to Ottawa, and Carleton Place’s current population of 10,000 is expected to double in the next 10 to 15 years. Elsewhere in Lanark County, Mississippi Mills, Carleton Place and Beckwith could double their populations to a combined total of 30,000.

Here’s what Lanark County is doing to improve the current transportation picture.

First, a bit of background.

Just over 10 years ago, a group of concerned residents formed a group, Lanark Community Transit, to address the commuting issue.

They worked diligently to research, analyze and promote a commuting service, as well as public transit within the county. Of all the municipal councils they contacted, Carleton Place Council were alone in agreeing to fund a commuting service, resulting in Leduc Bus Lines setting up a weekday commuting route there. Although Carleton Place later withdrew their funding, this bus line still operates, and is now linked up with Classic Alliance Motorcoach, which operate the commuter bus (http://www. octranspo.com/routes/rural_ partner_routes) from Arnprior, Pakenham, Almonte and Carleton Place.

Lanark County already provide a certain level of public transit owing to the Lanark Transportation Association (LTA), a communitybased, not-for-profit personal transportation service that has been serving the residents of Lanark County and the

Town of Smiths Falls since 2001. The LTA’s 15 vehicles, including four wheelchair-accessible vehicles, are used to provide transportation related to medical appointments, hospital discharges and mental health services.

The LTA have recently expanded their mandate to include “life-enhancing” services or appointments, such as visits to loved ones at hospital, attendance at weddings and funerals, and social outings for residents in long-term care facilities. Transportation is also provided for job interviews and training, but not for people to get to and from work. Most LTA clients have disabilities and other health issues, and are registered with provincial programs such as Ontario Works, Ontario Disability Support Program, SMILE (Seniors Managing Independent Life Easily), and WSIB (Workplace Safety and Insurance Board). These provincial programs provide funding for the medical transportation required by these clients.

The LTA also receive money from Lanark County, the Town of Smiths Falls, and funding through the provincial gas tax program. As an illustration of LTA’s ridership, 23,500 rides were provided last year to all seniors, and to younger people with disabilities.

In Mississippi Mills, Mills Community Support (MCS) provide a similar function for most residents. (Pakenham residents who meet the requirements for this type of transit are basically covered by the LTA, not MCS.) In recent years LTA have started to provide transportation based on financial need, to ensure that all those who need to get to a medical appointment, but who have no other access to transportation, will get there. Anyone within Lanark County or the Town of Smiths Falls can make use of this service, if s/he can provide proof of financial need. The amount of the subsidy available from LTA is based on family income. LTA, who heavily subsidize this service, try to ensure that they can serve as many people as possible for as many trips as possible. At the same time, LTA are very conscious that their transportation service needs to be financially sustainable, meaning that they need to recover at least 40 per cent of their operating costs from fares.

Now, a look at the latest developments.

A few years ago, Jane Torrance and Shaun McLaughlin (Mississippi Mills representatives on Lanark County council) promoted county transit as part of Lanark County’s strategic plan, and were able to get this item put at the top of the Lanark County agenda. In response to this, Lanark County agreed to provide funding for a report on public transit. The consultants selected to prepare this report, Nelson Rogers and Robert Leitch, reviewed existing public transit within Lanark County and proposed some feasible solutions.

(For an overview for this report,

see www.county.lanark.on.ca/AssetFactory.aspx?did=7102.) Following acceptance of this report late last summer, Lanark County struck a committee, named the Transit Advisory Group (TAG), to assess the report’s recommendations over the course of six meetings, with the aim of making recommendations to Lanark County on how to move forward. The members of TAG are comprised of representatives from organizations that provide community transportation within the county, residents with an interest in this issue, and county staff and elected officials.

A number of exciting initiatives

are in the works.

TAG are hoping to increase the ridership of Classic Alliance Motorcoach by helping with their marketing. If ridership does increase as a result, it will make this bus service even more viable.

Lanark County is planning to add a section to their website that will provide information and links to specialty transit and commuter transit, and update it as necessary, to make it easier for people to find transportation that meets their needs.

Lanark Transportation Association are currently implementing a new software program that will build service capacity and assist

with last-minute requests (normally they require a week’s notice to book a trip).

In addition, LTA will be starting a pilot program in the future that incorporates a fixed route service.

For updates on TAG’s initiatives, check out www.lanarkcounty.ca/.

If you’re as enthusiastic as I am about all the great possibilities that TAG’s initiatives offer to our county, please encourage your councillors to support our TAG representatives in this new and exciting foray into improving public transit.

PERTH POWERSPORTS AND MARINE

The Tomorrow Box women: connecting to characters “He spends more time talking to the cows than he does to me,” laments Maureen Cooper, matriarch of the uber-patriarchal Cooper clan whose Century Farm has been passed along from generation to generation for over a hundred years. In Studio Theatre’s upcoming production, The Tomorrow Box, a play by awardwinning Canadian playwright, Anne Chislett, it turns out that the lack of attention from her husband is just the beginning of Maureen’s problems. Husband Jack, son Joe, new daughter-inlaw Alice and Alice’s sister, Lisa, all have high stakes in this humorously poignant drama about family, heritage, power and upheaval.

The Tomorrow Box opens Sept. 28 at Perth’s Studio Theatre. It is a delightful, heartwarming, and provocative play set in rural Ontario and a not-sodistant past (1979-80) that nevertheless seems far removed from today. It is a character-driven tale of how change affects five very real people in a world that is, at once, both familiar and illusory.

Carolee Mason, who is nothing less than a local and Ontario-wide theatre icon, directs the production and is admittedly attached to it, having taken a work-

Carolee shares that “unlike the Cooper family, mine had only girls to inherit the farm. While the neighbours and my grandfather all joked that I should go off to study at Guelph, meet a nice

'American Assassin' fills Bourne/Bond movie void MOVIE: American Assassin STARRING: Dylan O'Brien, Sanaa Lathan, Michael Keaton, Shiva Negar and Taylor Kitsch DIRECTOR: Michael Cuesta RATING: 14A In the absence of a new Jason Bourne or James Bond film I suppose American Assassin will do. It isn't as good, but if you've already seen Atomic Blond then I guess this is all you have.

The beginning of the movie lays it on thick. Mitch (Dylan O'Brian) is on vacation at a Spanish beach resort with his girlfriend. He proposes, there's applause from the onlookers, and everyone is happy. Then the gunmen show up. Bullets fly, bodies drop and the beach is bathed in blood. The scene ends with a wounded Mitch staring into the eyes of his dead fiancée.

It may lay it on thick, but I suppose it's needed so we, the audience, are prepared to jump down the emotional rabbit hole with Mitch. Eighteen months later and Mitch is not the same person. He's been training in martial arts, weapons and Islam. His plan is to infiltrate the terrorist group responsible for

My Take

MARK HASKINS

killing his fiancée and kill them all.

It almost works. He manages to get face-to-face with the leader of the terrorist group when the Navy Seals burst in.

They kill everyone and take Mitch back home. Mitch winds up at the CIA where assistant director Irene Kennedy (Sanaa Lathan) makes Mitch an offer.

She wants him to join her secret team of CIA assassins.

Mitch is given to Stan Hurley (Michael Keaton) to be trained.

Mitch is skilled, gifted even, but he has issues taking orders.

Nonetheless when someone starts to put together a nuclear bomb Mitch is put on the team to stop those responsible.

Things go wrong quickly, and Mitch finds himself up against one of Stan's former students.

He calls himself Ghost (Taylor Kitsch), and he has his own agenda.

American Assassin is one of those films where there's noth-

ing particularly awful. It's shot well. The action is well executed. The acting is decent, and the story is believable enough to maintain suspension of disbelief … kind of.

The violence goes to a level of graphicness I’m not sure is necessary, though that does play into how badly this film wants to be taken seriously. The problem comes from the fact this is a typical spy versus spy movie. It's formulaic and predictable. There's no surprises, and nothing really new.

Cast wise there isn't a lot to say. Dylan O'Brian does a fair job as the brooding action hero.

Sanaa Lathan, Shiva Negar and Taylor Kitsch play their roles well even if they are playing stock characters. The brightest spot is getting to watch Michael Keaton do what he does. When he commits to a role he commits mind, body and soul.

I get the sense that Michael Cuesta is working hard to create a serious, intense and dramatic action film. He pulls out all the stops to get you emotionally involved in the story and the characters, but he's hamstrung by the movie's predictability.

Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

Welcome back to another year with Children’s Resources on Wheels (CROW)!

Thank you to everyone who attended the Sprinkler Party in August. It was a glorious day and a resounding success! As most of you saw, our new format includes more nature based and child led play where children can follow their curiosity in the outdoors and learn where their heart and sense of wonder takes them. We would love to hear about your family’s experience. Send us a message, comment, suggestion or picture via our Facebook page (Children’s Resources On Wheels) or email us at reception@crowlanark.com.

For those of you dealing with kids starting or returning to school this fall, take a look at their classroom and activities and look for the same attributes that we incorporated into the Sprinkler Party. You’ll see more natural materials, lots of opportunity for child led play, open ended materials that allow your child to follow their sense of wonder and curiosity into inquiry based learning.

What if … Why … How about …?

Talk to your kids about their day, how they felt about it, what they did, their relationships with kids, adults and the environment. Yes, the environment! Did you know that we have relationships with spaces, materials, time, even the emotional climate? All of these things affect how we act and learn.

One of the most important factors in learning is the sense of belonging (part of a relationship).

It relates to how we feel with other people and the places we are in. Whether in the classroom or at playgroup, being welcomed in, seeing familiar things, having a caring relationship with the people there and sharing a part of ourselves (art work, bringing something from home to show, saying hello, playing with others) all help us to have a sense of belonging. It gives us a sense of wellbeing that allows us to open up to the experiences around us.

The same is true at home. Parenting can be tough at times. (You knew I was going to get around to parenting somehow didn’t you?).

If we have a foundation of belonging and a positive relationship within our family we will get through the tough times. We have lots of workshops coming up this fall to help on both of these fronts. “Bounce Back and Thrive” (one of my favourites) is a resiliency workshop that helps us be more positive, assertive and caring as parents. It helps life be less stressful too. “Tips for Twos” is help for parents dealing with kids 18 months to three-and-a-half year olds. Delve into the toddler brain

and tweak your parenting skills so they work!

“Triple P” is an all-round parenting course that builds a positive relationship with your kids while tackling the tough situations with a detailed game plan!

Do you deal with an anxious child? “Kids Have Stress Too” will help you see the different forms that stress and anxiety can take in children. That sense of belonging

‘Excuse me. Could you turn that down 100 decibels!’

I can’t help but laugh at the television commercial featuring the guy who is so excited about purchasing a particular “little pill” which is supposed to assist with a very personal male problem. I will leave exactly what that problem is to your imaginations.

I’m sure you’ve already figured it out!

The chap in question is so happy about acquiring the “expected cure” that he shares the news with everyone else in line at the pharmacy. Not surprisingly his fellow customers are caught off guard.

The advertisement is an exaggeration of course. Who after all would share their personal health issues with strangers in a line at the drugstore?

Well, I thought that TV commercial was exaggerated. But based on some of my recent experiences now I’m not so sure?

People today say the strangest things and in the oddest places.

They also deliver their “news” at an incredibly high amplification. Try

150 decibels!

We had overseas visitors here this summer and my son and I are home after 12 days in Ireland and England.

During this busy period we’ve spent more time than usual in public places including bars, restaurants, stores and airport waiting areas.

The man in the pharmacy commercial has nothing on some of the people I’ve encountered on my travels.

It is obvious to me some individuals operate on the theory that everyone within an area encompassing roughly three city blocks is interested in them and what they are talking about.

That’s not the half of it though!

The late Canadian-born radio and television personality Art Linkletter — yes, he was born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan believe it or not — hosted the show House Party on CBS radio and TV in the U.S. for a quarter century. Linkletter, who died in 2010 at the ripe old age of 97, was particularly well known for interviewing children.

Reflections

BY JEFF MAGUIRE

He did kids’ interviews on House Party, but much more famously on the comedy television series Kids Say the Darndest Things. Interestingly the latter series, which began with a special in 1995 and later ran for several seasons ending in June 2000, was hosted by another well-known person.

Someone who has been in the news a lot recently — disgraced comedian Bill Cosby.

Children of course are famous for being brutally honest and no one was better at bringing that out than Art Linkletter. Kids Say the Darndest Things had a question and answer

format. Here are a couple of examples from the show.

Linkletter asked a young boy, “What’s the first thing a fireman does when he hears the four-alarm bell ring?”

“Pull up his pants,” the lad replied.

Sage advice The popular personality had this question for a little girl. “What’s the first thing you’d do if you were president.”

“Keep my mouth shut,” she stated emphatically.

Some sage advice and something I think the current occupant of the Oval Office would do well to consider.

Still, some of the adults I have heard talking in public places recently also said the darndest things and within easy earshot of many people who they clearly didn’t know from Adam, including me.

I was in a popular area restaurant a short time ago. Our party of four

was sitting two tables away from a large group of ladies who were clearly having a good time. They were drinking wine and engaged in a grand old tongue wag which, in a roadhouse setting is pretty common. When you go to this particular place you expect it to be noisy, especially on a night when specials are on the menu.

We weren’t paying much attention to them actually, immersed as we were in our own four-way conversation.

Every now and then though their voice levels rose and we could hear every word that was being said. Again, no big deal. They were loud, but so what eh!

Then an occupant of the large table suddenly announced, “Well, I need a pee!”

Yes, P-EE. Not P-EA. OK, so it’s a natural bodily function. But did she really need to tell half the restaurant?

MAGUIRE

From page 16

Some of the things I have heard lately in public would make a sailor blush. In fact the chap in the TV ad with ED is on the low end of the scale when it comes to “graphic details.”

Bars, restaurants and airport lounges are hotbeds of loud, brash, even personal conversation. Loud talk is to be expected.

But when you are in a hospital waiting room, awaiting a minor procedure as I was a few weeks ago, you don’t necessarily expect to hear two people discussing intimate details of their lives. And loudly enough that the “restricted” subject matter was more than obvious.

Honestly!

In the grocery store one day recently I was party to what I would call “an over the top performance” by a proud grandmother showing off her grandchild. I’m not sure if the baby was a boy or girl? He or she was tiny and dressed in neutral colours.

kin, peeled and cut into 1-inch (2 cm) pieces 1-1/2 cups (375 mL) coconut milk 1/4 cup (50 mL) fresh lime juice 2 tbsp (25 mL) packed brown sugar 2 green onions, thinly sliced 1/4 cup (50 mL) chopped fresh coriander leaves

Add pumpkin and stir to coat. Stir in coconut milk and bring to simmer. Cook, uncovered, for 8 minutes.

Add chicken to skillet along with any accumulated juices and simmer uncovered for 25 minutes.

The sauce will begin to reduce and pumpkin will soften and melt into sauce.

Preparation instructions: Add lime juice and Curry Paste: In a small sugar and cook for 3 minfood processor, pulse together garlic, shallot and ginger until finely chopped. Add jalapeño pepper, turmeric, coriander, cumin and coconut milk; purée until mixture is smooth.

Rendang: In large deep skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add star anise and cinnamon and cook, stirring for 2 minutes.

Add chicken in batches and cook turning once, until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Remove chicken to plate.

Add curry paste to skillet and cook, stirring and scraping the bottom of skillet for 2 minutes.

Well, I’m a proud grandpa myself. But it would be a frosty Friday in July that you’d see me going on — and on and on — the way this lady did in the middle of the fresh fruit and vegetables section. Cooing, babbling and whispering sweet nothings in a voice that could be heard. Well, I’m sure you could hear this grandma in the pharmacy at the opposite end of the store.

Proud only goes so far in my opinion!

To sum up, my suggestion this week is that people should consider their surroundings — and their audience — when they decide to say personal things at a volume high enough that strangers can’t possibly miss a word.

The cute little girl, responding to Art Linkletter’s question about becoming president, hit the nail on the head I think!

Music, dance and drama in Carleton Place as Mississippi Mudds unveil new season The time is upon us. That exciting time full of new things, new promise.

And we in the Mississippi Mudds are raring to get going on new things for our 2017/2018 44th season.

Have you ever or never seen a Mudds show? Are you a regular patron? Whatever your answer, this is your year to explore the live theatre scene in Carleton Place. Brochures for our new season are popping up all over town. But in case you don’t have one yet, here is a quick guide to help you mark your calendar.

We are calling it a Season of Classics to Celebrate Family, Friends and Lovers.

First up is Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. A dozen or so local actors aged between 13 and 18 are already in rehearsal for this comedic take on romance. This is the eighth Shakespeare production mounted by Mudds teens and young adults. As the brochure explains, “This is the one with the girl who’s in love with the boy who’s in love with the other girl who’s in love with the first girl because she thinks

he’s a boy.” Are you confused yet?

Well just be assured this one is full of comedy, laughs and apparently yellow socks too.

Show opens Friday, Oct. 20 with the first of five performances over that and the following weekend. Tickets for this evening of Shakespeare in the round are $10.

Anne of Green Gables The Musical, our number two main stage show, is perfect to usher in the Christmas season. Adapted by Don Harron from the novel by L.M. Montgomery, this heartwarming show is full of great songs such as Ice-cream and Open the Windows.

Our spirited, red-haired orphan girl with the amazing imagination will touch your hearts as she touches those of everyone in Avonlea and Green Gables. As Anne would say, “Looking forward to things is half the pleasure of them,” so mark your calendars now for this rousing musical tribute to Canada’s famous and beloved heroine. The show opens Friday, Nov. 24 at 7:30 p.m. In total you

have four matinees and two evening shows to choose from over two weekends. Reserved seating tickets are $20.

The Little Mermaid Junior by Glen Slade and Doug Wright swims into town on Feb. 23, 2018, with seven performances slated between opening and closing on March 4.

Another treat from our vibrant youth theatre group this one is destined to be a hit with all ages. Based on Hans Christian Andersen’s classic fairy tale, this one has all the music and characters you loved in the Disney version.

Guys and Dolls by Swerling, Burrows and Loesser, presented over two weekends in May 2018, will close our main stage series with a bang. This Broadway golden-era classic is always popular in revivals and promises to be so in Carleton Place too. Great songs such as Luck be a Lady, Bushel and a Peck, If I were a Bell will get your toes tapping and put a smile on your face.

So there you have it. Four wonderful shows. Try to see them all. For

more information pick up a brochure, check our website www.mississippimudds.ca or look for our Facebook page. All tickets will be available at Carleton Place Visitor Centre, 170

Bridge St., or call 613-257-1976.

Tickets for each show will go on sale four weeks before it opens.

Slightly smaller Ontario apple crop volume this year, but quality will be excellent Ontario’s apple crop volume will be slightly lower this year compared to last, but the fruit will be larger, juicier, and more colourful.

That’s what Ontario’s apple growers are seeing as they prepare to harvest the 2017 crop along the shores of Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. It’s the drought that struck many of the province’s apple growing regions in 2016 that is causing Ontario’s fresh market apple crop to be approximately 20 per cent less than last year.

“Our trees suffered from extreme drought last year and they haven’t had a chance to recover,” says apple grower Charles Stevens, who farms near Newcastle.

“All the rain we’ve had this year, though will mean larger, juicier apples with great colour because cool weather creates colour. And we’ll have plenty of apples available throughout the season for

Ontario Apple Growers says that this year’s crop volume will be slightly lower than last year, but apple lovers can enjoy fruit that is larger, juicier and more colourful. Above, be on the look out for Ambrosia apples, the sweetest variety grown in the province.

Ontarians to enjoy.”

Consumers may see some apples with small dents, which were caused by hail earlier in the summer, but those don’t take away from the flavour or the juiciness of the fruit. Some early varieties are already available and most growers will begin the bulk of their apple harvest in early September, just in time for back to school.

Stevens encourages Ontarians to keep an eye out for the Ambrosia apple this year, a relatively new variety that was discovered by chance by a Canadian apple grower who found it growing in his British Columbia orchard. It’s a large, juicy fruit that is ideal for eating fresh.

“Ambrosia is the sweetest apple that we grow in Ontario and it’s truly Canadian, made by Mother Nature herself,” Stevens says. “As we celebrate Canada 150 this year, there’s not a better time to try this new, Canadian-born apple.”

There are approximately 15 different varieties of apples grown on 15,000 acres in Ontario. The farm gate value of the Ontario apple crop is approximately $60 million, which includes sales to fresh and processing markets as well as onfarm/pick-your-own.

The Ontario Apple Growers represents the province’s 200 commercial apple farmers. Visit www. onapples.com for recipe ideas and grower profiles, or follow Ontario Apple Growers on Twitter, Instagram (@ontarioapples) and Facebook (facebook.com/OntarioAppleGrowers).

horoscopes ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, when an opportunity comes your way, resist the temptation to pass it up thinking something better is on the horizon. There are no guarantees, so make the most of this chance.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Many things around the home need your attention, Taurus. But you may be having trouble finding the motivation to tackle them right now. Get a partner to lend a helping hand.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, make a concerted and sincere effort to focus on family for the next few days. It’s time to reconnect with everyone in the house, and you will enjoy the time at home.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, slow down a little because moving faster will not get the job done right. It may only lead to sloppy mistakes that will take even more time to handle.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 It can be challenging to find initial support for your ideas, Leo. However, once you explain all of the specifics, there’s a good chance others will climb on board.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, focus on something new for a while rather than a problem that has been bouncing around in your brain. Frustration will get you nowhere, so let it go for now.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Risk can sometimes have a large payoff, Virgo. Just make sure you time your jump right or you could miss an opportunity to really shine.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, even if you take some time off from work, things will go on as planned. Although you are a key member of the team, others can temporarily fill your shoes.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, if you push yourself a little harder this week, you will be happy with the results. Even though it may be an uphill battle, the summit will look pretty nice.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, just when you think you can lie low and escape the week without any excitement, something pops up that requires all of your attention. Hunker down for now.

Remember to do proper testing before swapping out car parts has to be done is a search of the harness wires, connectors, and components between the switch and the rear lamps to find the short.

The first thing a shop tech would do is to eliminate all the rear bulb sockets as culprits by looking for any signs of corrosion and repairing/replacing them as required. Then, armed with a wiring diagram and a circuit tester he or she would divide each of the related circuits in half to check each section for the short. Once the guilty section is known, then that half would be divided in half again and so on until the short is located. Tail lamps receive their power signals from various sources such as the headlamp/signal switch and brake lamp switch, and emergency flasher switch.

Some of the more popular areas to look would be any spot where the wiring travels through a bulk-

www.heartandstroke.on.ca

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

head or where the wiring is exposed to any exterior elements. On a car of this Pontiac's age, it really could be anywhere. A lot of this wiring runs under floor carpeting where years of slush from boots can soak and corrode wiring and connectors.

Most shops can't give an estimate for this type of work, only charging the tech's straight time at their labor rate. You can reduce some of this work yourself by checking the lamp sockets and clearing out the interior to reduce the amount of time a tech will have to spend in their search.

As well this Vibe is equipped with a tail-lamp relay, which might also be at fault.

Our Vibe do-it-yourselfer wasn’t deterred after I forwarded the response above, I received this email later…

“Hi again, I hope you don’t start charging $100 per hour, if

you do, then I’m out of luck!

I got the lights to work and I don’t know why. I removed the new switch assembly and reinstalled the old one, put in a new fuse, and thought that while I’m at it, also put in a new fuse marked OBD, to my amazement, everything worked tail lights etc. Beaming with pride, I went for groceries and found it wouldn’t shift out of park! I looked in the manual and it said to remove the shift-lock override cover from the console and insert a small flat tipped tool and press down and sure enough I could shift, but I have to do this every time!

Again can you help me out, the manual says to have this fixed ASAP. Have what fixed? They don’t say what the problem is!”

The auto transmission shifter on this Vibe has a safety mechanism that won't let it come out of park until the brake pedal is depressed. There is a small electronic device located in

the floor console just ahead of the shifter that does this. When it gets an electrical signal from the brake pedal, it releases the lock on the shifter.

The brake lamps need to be checked to see if they’re actually working. If they're not working the problem with the shift lock may be related to that same circuit.

If the brake lamps work, then the problem is either in the shift interlock device or the wiring to it (this may have been the problem all along). A connector or wire may have been disturbed swapping out the lamp switch or replacing a burnt fuse or it may be something unrelated.

The moral here is don’t swap out parts to solve an electrical problem unless you do the proper testing first.

Very few (if any) parts stores will take

“Hi Brian, You’ve solved a problem for me before, and here’s another one. I have a 2003 Pontiac Vibe, and found the taillights not working. The fuse was blown; I replaced it and replaced the rear bulbs, the fuse blew again. Instead of bothering you, I asked around, and the consensus was that the head light switch/signal lights arm assembly was faulty. After much searching I finally got a new one for $200, plus tax, and installed it. Same results; after one try of the lights, the tail light fuse blew again. I’m at my wit’s end.

Do you have any suggestions for me?”

BM This Pontiac probably has what's known as a 'short to ground' where a power feed is being grounded causing the blown fuses. As the switch has been eliminated (if properly installed) as a possible cause now what

Mel’s Farm receives $5,000 to alleviate sting of vet bills

keeping it local and canadian for over 40 years

•local produce •local dairy •local honey •local cheese •local flowers •local vitamins

BY LAURIE WEIR

ljweir@metroland.com

Melanie Young says she never looks at a veterinary bill. She doesn’t want to be alarmed with the amount owing.

Mel’s Farm and All Animal Rescue and Sanctuary is an all-animal rescue operation that certainly has its perks, as Young and her foster families have saved countless lives; but it comes with a cost — big vet bills.

“Ya, they just fold the bill over because I don’t want to see it,” she said, “and slide it across the counter.”

But thanks to a $5,035 cheque presentation on Thursday, Sept. 14 from Dale Horeczy and Brad Daily, that vet bill may have a bite taken out of it at the very least.

The cash infusion came from the men’s Sunflower Festival held at their Kricklewood Farm near Frankville Aug. 6. Despite it being a late season for the sunflowers, and not many showing their faces that day, the fundraiser was still a huge success.

“We had lots of visitors, and it was a wonderful day,” Daily said.

Horeczy agreed that the only downside was lack of sunflowers.

But the field blossomed about two weeks later and the men opened their farm for guests who wanted to take a walk through the field.

The Sunflower Festival has been a popular summer day-long event on Kricklewood Farm with food vendors, crafters, musical entertainment, silent auction, a tasting alley, pet photos, and more.

In the past few years, the event has raised more than $15,000 for the cause.

Melanie Young accepted a cheque for $5,035 from Brad Daily and Dale Horeczy of Kricklewood Farm after hosting the Sunflower Festival in August. The proceeds will help pay vet bills for foster animals in the care of Young and Mel’s Farm All Animal Rescue.

The cause Mel’s Farm has been around a few years now. This foster-based rescue has seen a gamut of animals, birds, and reptiles come through its virtual doors.

Young takes in the sick and the unwanted — or the feral. She even rescues senior animals who have been displaced due to circumstances beyond their owners’ control, such as a death or illness that results in hospitalization and there is no one to take care of the animals.

She said it’s not about the money — even though she struggles to pay the vet bills — but the animals.

Up the banner: Foster Street banner fees reduced, new changes afoot

BY DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Town hall is making several changes to the Foster Street banner policy.

“We have had a lot of requests for banners to go up and we have (had) to turn a lot of them down,” said community services director Shannon Baillon, during Perth town council’s committee of the whole on Tuesday, Sept. 12. These changes, she promised, “give people more options,” and may well see more banners going up across the street.

According to her report to council, her department “will begin accepting requests for … next year’s Foster Street banner poles on (Sunday) Oct. 1 of the current year. Each event can initially book a one-week time slot that will be confirmed on a first-come, first-served basis,” she wrote.

Previously, applicants could apply for two consecutive weeks.

Additional weeks for the same event “can be booked beginning two calendar months prior to that event and must be non-consecutive.” Additional fees will be subject to the new fee of $110 per week, which is down from $150.

Mayor John Fenik said that the changes would “create an even playing field.”

“These banners are incredibly popular,” said Coun. Judy Brown.

There was another change to the policy, in that “local groups who run events that have proven to be substantial tourism events will con-

A banner is stretched across Foster Street in the evening twilight of Tuesday, Sept. 12. tinue to be given the opportunity to book one week before their event,” wrote Baillon. Further to this, “any single event is allowed a maximum total of three weeks.”

Surge pricing?

Coun. Riq Turner suggested that ‘surge pricing’ could be utilized, to charge more during peak times.

“Is that possible? Supply and demand,” said Turner.

Fenik replied that many of the banners are for “feel-good, community events,” like the recent Parkinsons’ SuperWalk. What good would it be, wondered Fenik, to have “all of these good organizations,” have to “set up a bidding war. It doesn’t sit right with me.”

Baillon added that the changes were not meant to generate more revenue for the town, but rather “to support more events and get more events up there,” on the pole.

The report was carried unanimously.

Perth council has no plans to take over Highway 7 from province

BY DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Perth could take over Highway 7 from the province if it wanted to — but Mayor John Fenik really does not want to.

During Perth town council’s committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 12, Coun. Riq Turner asked if such a thing was possible, considering the Ontario Ministry of Transportation’s (MTO) foot-dragging on issues such as an advanced green turning signal at the intersection with Drummond Street.

“It’s possible,” replied Fenik.

“You’d certainly want to do a full economic evaluation (beforehand). It wouldn’t be cheap.

MTO would love to download that.”

Fenik further cautioned that running that stretch of the highway would cost millions, and that some municipalities that saw similar provincial highways downloaded onto them in the 1990s found that they “can’t afford their highways.”

The question arose during a debate about the town’s transportation master plan (TMP).

The TMP had originally been tabled with council back in June, but its receipt by council was

Desmond Devoy/Metroland

A car makes a turn from North Street onto Gore Street West at the intersection on the evening of Tuesday, Sept. 13. This intersection has been identified by the Perth police services board as an area of concern. It is also an area where the town will be improving truck signage. delayed over the summer to allow time for councillors to read through it more thoroughly.

Turner’s question stemmed from another question Coun.

Ed McPherson had asked: “How come Highway 7 is not included (in the TMP)?” McPherson has long been a proponent of turning signals at the Drummond and Highway 7 intersection, and he was concerned that the problem areas along the highway were not dealt with under the TMP. As is so often the case in Canadian politics, it all comes down to a matter of jurisdiction.

“That (the highway) is under the province,” replied Eric Co-

sens, the director of development and protective services.

However, McPherson argued that adding the town’s concerns about Highway 7 into the TMP document should “give us more credence,” in dealing with the province. “We ignored a major issue in the Town of Perth,” said McPherson.

“It is intended to be a living document,” said Cosens, and it is expected that it will be “evaluated in a timely manner,” and that it is “a snapshot of what it (town transportation issues) look like in 2015, 2016.”

While the plan outlines short, medium, and long-term goals,

Fenik stressed that “these timelines are not set in stone.” If, for example, money suddenly became available for a certain project, that may move it up in the priority list.

“You can’t predict what will happen,” Fenik said. “In a perfect world, if we had $49 million, we would have a perfect TMP.” But he stressed that “we can’t ignore a TMP because of money.”

Cosens agreed with Fenik, saying that “it’s a list of action items. Priorities can change.”

Later in the meeting, Coun.

Jim Graff, chair of the Perth Police Services Board (PSB), noted that the PSB had concerns about

the intersections of Drummond and Craig streets, as well as Gore Street West and North Street, and requested a three-way stop at the intersection of Victoria and Boulton streets, across the road from Perth and District Collegiate Institute.

Graff noted that these areas were already recommended in the TMP and were backed up by statistics from the OPP. Details Though the TMP was not officially tabled until September, three items from the report were moved with immediate effect, including:

Wilson streets; • Installing heavy truck signage on the truck routes, and; • Researching crosswalk costs for the 2018 budget.

The report updates the last TMP from 1991, and brings 25 issues and policy review items to light. The matters raised in this report, wrote co-authors Cosens and environmental services director Grant Machan, “will involve transportation investments and additional projects that will proceed, subject to the priorities of council in future budgets and long-term capital plan• Line painting at the ning for larger scale infraintersection of North and structure projects.”

Solar panels proposed for Perth's fire hall, water treatment plant

BY DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Solar panels on the roof of the Perth fire hall could provide all of the building’s power needs — and then some.

That was the assessment of a renewable energy company that is seeking to partner with the Town of Perth to install solar panels on the roofs of town-owned buildings.

Janice Ashworth, general manager of Ottawa Renewable Energy Co-Op, during a presentation to Perth town council’s committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 12, also said that the roof on the water treatment garage could be utilized, with 140 kilowatts supplying about 25 per cent of the facilities’ energy needs, at a lower cost than hydro electricity. Ashworth said that this would result in a savings of about $300,000 over 30 years at the garage.

“That’s one of your largest electricity-consuming sites,” she said.

In her presentation, Ashworth said that the province’s FIT (Feed In Tariff) for big and medium-sized buildings were already “done,” but that the micro FIT program would still be available until the end of December.

Otherwise, when it comes to FIT, “that is all done. There are no more contracts being offered under that program,” Ashworth said. With the rising cost of hydro electricity, and the declining costs of solar power, “you can generate power on your own roof,” at roughly the same price as you can buying it off of the grid, or for even less.

“You can keep that money in your community, rather than sending it out …(to) Hydro One’s nuclear facilities,” she said. “The cost of panels is coming down.”

To create an economy of scale, Ashworth said her company would like to do a large number of installations in Perth all at once, and might like to include other notable buildings in town, such as the Algonquin College campus, Perth and District Collegiate Institute, the pool, the arena, as well as three potential sites for groundmounted solar fields like Darou Farm, the town landfill, and the lagoon.

The only downside, highlighted in Ashworth’s slide presentation, was that the pool and arena had suitable roofs, but were partially shaded by trees. However, portions could still be used.

She also noted that, if, in future, the town The co-op has 700 members across eastern Ashworth. “The town cannot be a voting memwanted to, it could buy out the company, and Ontario, with $7 million raised from their mem- ber,” but she added that “joint revenue sharing” own and operate the solar panels themselves. bership. They have worked on 17 projects in the could be discussed.

Mayor John Fenik called the proposal “a area, and generated 1.7 megawatts of power.

The proposal was accepted by council, unaniwonderful plan, a fabulous idea”. He proposed “Members can only be individuals,” explained mously. that the idea be pitched at his regular “Mayor’s Breakfast,” for local businesses, scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 24, to see if any businesses want Celebrating 113 Years to sign on to the deal. A more rounded proposal will then be given to Perth town council’s committee of the whole meeting in November. The next steps would involve a roof and grid assessment and an RFP (request for proposal) for a Sunday September 24, 2017 solar power provider.

Please note special time: 10:00 am “The Renewable Energy Co-operative would Anniversary Speaker own and operate the solar equipment and would sell that power to Perth at a locked-in, low rate Reverend Christine Jerrett for 30 years,” Ashworth said. The rate would Light Lunch after the Service be locked in at today’s solar prices, allowing for ******************************************* about 2.5 per cent to cover the rate of inflation, All You Can Eat which, she said, is far lower than the rising rate Anniversary Turkey Dinner of hydro electricity over the past decade.

It has since been replaced, and that new roof “might very well have addressed the issues,” said Ashworth.

Chief administrative officer John deRosenroll said that 18 months ago, Perth was part of a countywide consortium that went in on a joint FIT application — which was turned down.

“What you are seeing today … is a risk transfer,” said deRosenroll. “The risk is transferred to the co-op.”

But Coun. Jim Graff wondered if there was still some risk in projecting down the road 30 years. Graff was concerned that hydro prices might eventually even out, and might again be cheaper than solar power.

“I want to be darn sure before going into a 30-year contract,” Graff said.

“There are some ways we can build that (price protection) in,” said Ashworth.

Now entering this century

W

hile Girlchild and I were away for a week at a gymnastics competition in the United States this summer, Groomboy took it upon himself to install a dishwasher.

I know. You’re shocked. Yes, for reals, we did not have a dishwasher — and never have. Well, actually, we did: Me. You might think Groom-boy waited until I was out of the country to do this because he wanted it to be a lovely, happy surprise (which is partly true), but it was also because I have been known to be somewhat fanatical about my opposition to having one, so he had to be sneaky.

OK. Maybe not fanatical. Determined? And maybe not quite so determined in recent years as people got bigger and ate more and messed up more dishes more frequently. (Not to mention the endless stream of small, plastic containers we use in lunches.)

Groom-boy has long been a proponent of getting a dishwasher. He likened it to “getting out of the Dark Ages” and made many references to the clothes-washing machine we have that means we don’t have to go down to the river and beat our clothes on a rock anymore, either.

Looking back at the many arguments I have made against getting a dishwasher in the past, I have come to realize how much I have changed.

Primarily, I believed dishwashers were costlier to the environment in terms of electricity and water use, especially since we air-dried our dishes. Even the most energy-efficient models, I contended, still cost money in terms of manufacturing and delivery.

OK. So probably there are statistics that disprove this. You can find anything you need for arguments on the fantabulous Interwebs. And one could also argue there are costs associated with manufacturing sinks and taps and dishcloths, too, so it can all get a little silly.

As time passed, my chief concern switched to space: Small house, small kitchen, limited cupboard space. The place where the dishwasher would go was also where all the storage containers (i.e. the aforementioned small, plastic containers), mixing bowls, measuring cups and cookie tins live.

Groom-boy argued lots of stuff in various cupboards could be moved to our (yucky, unfinished, 1840s) basement, but I maintained there was no flippin’

way I was going down those stairs every time I needed a large salad bowl or the crockpot or the blender, etc. This was especially true after I became creakier.

My other main argument centred around child labour. By gum, I said, once the Short People (who aren’t so short anymore so I need to come up with a better collective term) are old enough, they will do the dishes just like I was forced to do as a child.

That truly would have solved a lot of things, if only I had followed through on my conviction and had done a better job at instituting chores. I know, it’s not too late, and I’ll keep you posted about when I have reached the point of sitting around eating bonbons with my feet up whilst the minions do all the chores.

(Har.) So far, I have had some success in having them occasionally empty the dishwasher at least.

I am pleased to report my hydro bill does not appear to have risen exponentially with the addition of this new appliance. Not sure about the water bill yet (it’s coming soon), but unless it doubles or triples, I doubt we’ll be reverting to the sink.

I have found the dishwasher to be somewhat liberating, and I am learning to live with the guilt of abandoning my (possibly misguided) principles. I didn’t overly mind spending time at the sink gazing into my pretty backyard, but I’m OK with the fact I no longer have to do it for hours and hours (and hours) every week.

I am also pleased to report Groomboy did a good job of reorganizing and relocating the storage containers, etc. Some appropriate purging took place, but all of the critical items are still within reach, and the rest was reorganized in a way that does not require trips to the (yucky, spooky) basement.

So nobody died when I got home (except possibly my aforementioned (debatable) principles). There were no temper tantrums. I may have even smiled. And there are still a few things that need to be washed by hand, so I can stare out the window just enough.

Welcome to the 21st century, I guess ….

I can’t ... not - try!

luffy, squishy, pudgy, thick, a little on the round side: these words have been used to describe me for as long as I remember.

So have these words: “she’s got a cute face”, “she’s so tall”, “too bad she’s so fat, she could be really attractive.”

I don’t know what’s worse – some moron calling me fat, or a friend calling me squishy.

Over the years, I’ve let it slide, but I have let myself slide into an even deeper realm of the fat world.

I have no one to blame but myself.

I can’t blame my grandparents for force feeding me from the horn of plenty during family gatherings at the farm. I could have pushed myself away from the trough.

been on several bandwagons (Don’t get me started on the Blue Jays!)

I thought I was at my wit’s end recently when I asked my GP to sign me up for a weight loss surgery. To create a pouch of a stomach would be called gastric bypass, or to have my football-sized stomach “sleeved” into a banana-sized one is another option.

A third option is a band around the stomach but that didn’t appeal to me much, and it seems that surgery is being replaced by a sleeve or bypass.

To prepare myself for this, I’ve been researching it non-stop. You have to get right with food (psychologically) before this procedure will be successful. There are several medical tests I will need to undergo first before being approved for surgery. This may sound like the easy way out, but trust me, it seems more difficult than just dealing with the food issues that got me here in the first place.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Thanks for a successful Maberly Fair DEAR EDITOR,

The Maberly Agricultural Board and members wish to thank all the volunteers who made our fair on Aug. 26, 2017 an outstanding success. From our barbeque slingers, popcorn makers, booth workers, parking people, computer programmers, musicians,

firemen and more, we could not have put on a fair like we did. We even had help from above as it was a remarkably sunny day in this rainy summer.

Kudos to our community for coming together and helping us have a successful day.

Until next year.

COLUMN From page P8

Weight loss surgery cons outweigh the pros – at least for me. There could be hair loss, gallbladder issues, malnutrition, loss of teeth, loss of lean muscle mass, or vitamin deficiency.

That’s just a few of the complications.

I joined a few Facebook groups that are supportive of this surgery. I have seen and heard many success stories, but have read too many horror stories to go any further with this plan. I do know a few close friends who have done this procedure, but they aren’t that far out from their surgery to see if they have success with it or not.

Sure they are losing the weight, but are their minds healthy with this way of life?

The more I research, the more determined I am to do this without invasive surgery, but I can’t do this alone. I need help. The first part of getting help is admitting I have a problem. Like an alcoholic with booze, or a junkie with cocaine, I am addicted … to sugar! The sugar I get from those foods mentioned above, are what will kill me. The high I get from them are equivalent to what other people gain with their drug or alcohol addictions.

I’m plucking information from many of my former healthy eating plans, and I have taken up with a dietitian at the health unit in town.

Jana knows her stuff and she’s very encouraging.

I have also enlisted the help of a personal trainer. Amber at Industry Fitness in Perth is a gem. She assessed me to see what my physical fitness level was before designing a plan just for me. I’m pleased to report that my plank has gone from non-existent, to 31 seconds. This is a huge NSV (nonscale victory) for me.

I have given up sugar and nonessential carbs (no flour, potatoes, rice, or breads.) I admit, I thought I was going to die that first week. I suffered from irritability (more so than usual) and mood swings, as well as headaches.

A food app on my phone called “Lose It” helps me keep track of my food intake, and I’m walking with Lexi at least 3km a day. Every morning she’s waiting for me at the front door and if I’m not ready to go by 6:15 a.m. she lets me know what time it is. I have ordered a Fitbit to help me keep track of exercise.

It’s a work in progress, but I can’t not try.

McMunn found out about her big win when validating her ticket at the store. “When the clerk put my ticket in the terminal it made a funny noise and then shut down. When I saw the amount on the slip, I burst into tears,” shared Faye, while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to claim her prize.

She shared the news with her son and daughter upon returning to the car and then drove immediately to her husband’s work. “I jumped out of the car and then literally jumped up onto him. I screamed out that I won a million dollars,” laughed McMunn.

She said she plans to use some of her windfall to make one of their family’s dreams come true. “We’ve always talked about building a house on a new property. Now it’s something we can consider.”

No Relation winning Terry’s second Leacock Medal for Humour in 2015.

Up and Down debuted on the Globe and Mail bestseller list and won the 2013 Ontario Library Association Evergreen Award. The same year, the Canadian Booksellers Association awarded Terry their Libris Award for Author of the Year.

His fourth novel, No Relation, had a solid run on several national bestseller lists after publication in May 2015 and was Fallis’ first book to be translated for foreign publication. One Brother Shy achieved immediate bestseller status on release in May, staying at or near the top of many lists since. As a bonus for fans of his humour, all of Fallis’ books are available as episodic podcasts. He is also a much sought after speaker.

After graduating with an engineering degree, Fallis worked in provincial and federal politics (reflected in his first three books), and later in communications and PR.

St. Paul's church bells return Sept. 30 The changing of the seasons has been heralded for centuries by festivals, fairs and gatherings celebrating the passage of time and the reaping of the harvest. What better way and what better place to celebrate this fall than at the Perth Farmers' Market on Saturday morning, Sept. 30.

“Why?” you might ask. The answer is that the Bells of St. Paul’s (St. Paul’s United Church Handbell Choir) will be back for a return engagement at 10 a.m. that day to add a taste of the “ethereal” to the always bustling and delightful Saturday morning at the market. There will be twelve ringers not only playing English handbells, but also ringing the glorious new Malmark chimes that were purchased this summer.

If anyone in an audience were to ask one of the twelve handbell ringers why they play, I'm sure there would be twelve different answers. Could it be the blending of the harmonies in the upper register? Could it be the rich, sonorous sounds of the big bass bells forming a solid foundation for the chords? ... Or could it be that each piece and/or arrangement still has that ability to “take-your-breath-away”?

Whatever the answer, one could easily find out just by stopping by and listening. When the program is finished, there would be an opportunity to find out!

Reconciliation dinner treats full house A reconciliation dinner, held Friday, Sept. 15 at the Perth Civitan Club, was a huge success, with a full house of guests in attendance.

Indigenous dishes included local venison stew, Three Sisters soup, sumac tea and a wild rice dessert, catered, in part, by Algonquin chef Tim Cota.

Tim Johnson, acting director of the Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C., followed up the meal with an excellent talk on the theme of reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities in Canada, illustrated with examples from his own work in community-based reconciliation projects that he has worked on in the Niagara Peninsula.

Traditional Algonquin birch bark canoe builder Chuck Commanda engaged attendees and answered questions about the canoe built

by him and community volunteers this summer as part of our project.

Opening and closing the event and keeping everyone moving was the talented Algonquin drum group Still Waters, who were also the host drum for the 2017 Silver Lake Pow Wow. The event wraps up an amazing year of events under the umbrella of The Valley of the Kiji Sibi: Celebrating our Shared Histories and Futures, a year-long reconciliation project in light of Canada’s 150th anniversary in 2017, with the twin goals of community education and reconciliation between Indigenous and nonIndigenous communities in Lanark County.

This event was made possible by the community fund for Canada’s 150th, a collaboration between the Perth and District Community Foundation, the government of Canada and extraordinary leaders from coast to coast.

Let’s talk about forgiveness

New reverend for Smiths Falls church The council and congregation of Trinity United Church in Smiths Falls would like to announce that Reverend Christopher Ryan has accepted the call to become the new minister.

Ryan has spent more than 20 years as a chaplain with the Canadian Armed Forces, most recently as the 4 Canadian Division/Joint Task Force (Central) Chaplain, being responsible for Army Chaplain Services and Chaplains in the Ontario Region.

Prior to his military service, he served as the Minister at several churches in Nova Scotia.

“Trinity United Church has a real and deep concern for the community and the congregation is seeking to connect, inspire and serve the Smiths Falls area,” said Ryan. “I always knew I would return to civilian ministry and I saw Trinity United as a wonderful opportunity.”

Ryan started his services at Trinity United Church on Sept. 10, 2017.

Services are held at Trinity, at the corner of Russell and Market streets, every Sunday morning at 10:30 a.m.

SHELLEY ROBERTS

ered eventually that the most effective response to this treatment was to hold her regularly and often in prayer. I did not pray that she would change. I did not pray that bad things would happen to her.

(That sounds a lot like a country music song!) I simply prayed for her wellbeing.

Praying changed my attitude to her and erased the tension and stress that I had been experiencing.

Eventually, her own bitterness did her in. I think she learned from that lesson for she moved on and was later quite successful in her own right.

In my work and my life, I have found often that not offering forgiveness harms the victim more than the perpetrator.

Harboring bitterness, envy, malice, thoughts of revenge, anger, jealousy or hatred burns a big hole in the heart of the one so possessed. When one’s heart and soul is thus consumed, it is much more difficult for the love and peace of God to enter.

The Bible teaches us that we are not to be overcome by evil. Instead, we are to overcome evil with good. Is that possible?

It opens up some interesting conversations.

Forgiveness is a touchy issue.

Whenever the news brings us the horror of a serial rapist, pedophile, or terrorist who mows down dozens of innocent victims there is always at least one voice in the crowd loudly proclaiming, “Just give me the opportunity.

I’d be happy to throw the switch or administer a lethal injection. In fact, those deaths are too nice for such villains.”

Forgiveness is difficult.

As followers of Jesus, we are called to forgive as we have been forgiven. It is ironic really that the church as an institution is not recognized for its marvellous ability to forgive but, more often known for its tendency to judge.

That’s a pity for the call in the gospels is quite clear.

Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.

How many times should I forgive?

Is seven times enough? Jesus replies seventy-seven times (or seventy times seven depending on your Biblical translation).

That’s a lot of forgiving. You should be merciful as God is merciful. Why do you see the speck in your neighbour’s eye but not notice the log in your own eye?

Revenge belongs to God. We are called to feed our enemies when they are hungry and provide drink when they thirst.

Many years ago, I had a work colleague who was jealous of my abilities.

She lied about my work.

She belittled my successes. She trumpeted her own efforts even when we worked in collaboration. I discov-

Perth Blue Wings split weekend games in CCHL2 action

BY LAURIE WEIR

ljweir@metroland.com

The Perth Blue Wings picked up their first win of the CCHL2 season on Saturday night in Char-Lan but it didn’t come easy.

The Blue Wings scored a huge OT win after the teams battled back and forth for a 5-5 deadlock after regulation.

In the extra frame, it was Jordan Currie on the power play who flipped in the winner with assistance from Nicholas Vala and Tyler Murphy. The goal came at the 2:57 mark as the Blue Wings notched their first two points of the season.

Perth led 2-0 and 4-2 at the period breaks.

Char-Lan fired back three straight in the first five minutes of the third to take a 5-4 lead.

Joel Driscoll evened the score for the Blue Wings with 9:03 showing, assisted

by Marc-Andre LeBlanc and Dan

Hennessy.

Rebels goals were scored by Mathieu Sabourin with two, Dylan Seguin, Liam MacDonald, and Jason Cossette.

The winning goalie was Johnathan Peacock with 20 saves. The Blue Wings outshot their opponents 46-25, while serving four minor infractions. Char-Lan had 16 minutes in the sin bin on eight minors.

Game stars were Currie for Perth, Saboutin for Char-Lan and LeBlanc for Perth.

Home opener The Blue Wings honoured their graduating players on Friday, Sept. 15 at their home opener. A red-carpet welcome to the graduates included the official puck drop against the Brockville Tikis.

Honoured for their contributions over the years for the Blue Wings were: Gabriel Laurin,Dallas Farr, Karson McCartney, Austin McKinty, Scott Leboeuf, Mark

Vanderzyde, and Corey Chaplin.

Perth had a tough go of it against the Tikis. The home team – in front of 370 fans – held a 2-0 lead after two periods of play on goals from Mack Miller and Ethan Vaslet in the first and second periods respectively.

Assists on those markers were credited to Dylan Sharpley, LeBlanc, Vala and Nathan MacKenchnie.

Brockville stormed back in the third with three unanswered goals for the win.

Scoring were Noah Fraser, Zachary Matyasik, and Alex Lauzon.

The winning goalie was Nicolas deAntonio with 30 saves, while Cameron Scott took the loss. Both teams had three minor offenses.

Game stars were Ben Davy for Brockville, Matyasik for Brockville, and Laurie Weir/Metroland Miller for Perth.

The Blue Wing will host Richmond Brockville’s Hunter Schipclark tries to keep Perth’s Suraj Bali Friday night at 7:30 p.m. and will travel off the puck in second period CCHL2 action Friday, Sept. 15 in to Renfrew on Saturday night.

Perth. The Tikis won this one, 3-2 after a third-period surge.
