Parents urged to record CAS talks Desmond Devoy

trustee who lost his battle with cancer in August this year. “It was an emotionally charged day,” said Lori McMunn, from Finnegan Insurance Brokers in Perth, the organizing body for this event. “It was amazing… we raised $27,700 this year and we’re still taking money up to Sept. 30.”

A vocal critic of the Children’s Aid Society (CAS) is recommending that parents videotape or audio record all of their interactions with the organization. Vernon Beck, of Canada Court Watch (CCW), made a presentation, “Your Rights, Your Children’s Rights,” outlining “your rights when dealing with a Children’s Aid Society,” at His House church, 40 North St. in Perth, on Thursday, Sept. 17. “I will be telling people how to secretly record… (to) record the whole incident,” Beck said during a pre-speech interview at the former home of the Salvation Army’s thrift shop. Allan Hogan, executive director of Family and Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville, was asked later, during an interview at his Herriott Street office in Perth, on Monday, Sept. 21, if he was OK with his workers being filmed during interactions with families. “We…” he began saying, before pausing. “People do have the opportunity to record or videotape us. While we don’t have anything to hide in terms of the stuff we do,” he did raise concerns about where the videos would end up, like YouTube, and that his workers’ actions may be taken out of context, “which may or may not reflect the work that we do.” He also had concerns that some of the children involved in the investigation may be identified if the videos are put on a public file-sharing site. “These are private matters,” Hogan added. Hogan said that parents videotaping interactions with CAS “is more frequently occurring… across the province. We need to do some more work on how we address that.” Beck stressed that it was his group’s goal to “bring

Meet Brooke and Brittany Henderson at Mike Fair’s drive for the United Way known as the road to the LPGA. As part of the meet and greet, in conjunction with General Motors, Mike Fair’s is holding its annual Drive for the Cause fundraising event, in which GM will contribute $25 for each vehicle test driven, and Mike Fair’s will match that contribution. It is an opportunity for potential buyers to test-drive a new vehicle, while supporting the chosen charity, in this case United Way Lanark County. As well, the community will have a chance to enjoy a charity

barbecue, play some fun golf games, and enter a draw for a trip, all courtesy of the community-minded dealership. As a long-time supporter of United Way Lanark County, Mike Fair’s president Kristine Fair explained, “We are known for our fair deals and outstanding service and our commitment to building strong, long lasting relationships in our community. United Way and its partners – Big Brothers Big Sisters Lanark County, the county youth centres and Community Home

Support – also have a commitment to making our community a better place to live. Helping youth, seniors, and those in need, is something everyone can support.” The local dealership’s commitment to United Way Lanark County has been going on for more than ﬁve years through employee payroll and corporate donations. “This year, we decided our Drive for the Cause would support the United Way, to celebrate this successful year for the Henderson sisters,” continued Fair, “and we invite everyone from Smiths Falls and the surrounding areas to come out, do a test-drive, and have a great time for a great cause – the United Way Lanark County.” “We are thrilled to have an event like this to help us kick-off the United Way Lanark County 2015 campaign,” said Fraser Scantlebury, executive director of United Way Lanark County. “This year, we want to change 8,500 lives in Lanark County and Smiths Falls. One in eight people in the county need the services provided by our partners, who last year helped 1,851 youth with

mentoring, skills development, nutritious meals, access to sports, housing support, and a safe space to be. Nearly 600 children received Christmas gifts, snowsuits and had access to daycare. These vital services and supports are critical to giving our kids the necessary tools to succeed. We have great success stories in Smiths Falls and Lanark County, like the Henderson sisters, but there are many more that have yet to begin.” The meet and greet will run from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Mike Fair dealership located at 199 Lombard Street, Smiths Falls. The event will include autograph signing, a charity barbeque, a draw for a trip, and golf games for the whole family courtesy of the Smiths Falls Golf & Country Club. “Come out and enjoy the fall and support our homegrown talent, and your community!” added Fair. For more information, please contact the United Way Lanark County at 613-257-9074 or go to www.lanarkunitedway.com. Submitted by the United Way Lanark County.

One limp at a time: New Democrat John Fenik’s unlikely 2015 MP candidacy desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Editor’s note: This is the second in a series of LanarkFrontenac-Kingston candidate profiles running in the weeks leading up to the federal election Oct. 19. The afternoon canvass was over before it began. Bounding up Gore Street West, Perth, from the local radio station after an interview on the afternoon of Wednesday, Sept. 2, John Fenik, the New Democratic Party’s candidate in Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston, is beaming. He rounds the corner and launches into his campaign office. The fact that the NDP even has a campaign office is telling – such a prominent, storefront presence was missing in 2011 when Doug Smyth was the party’s candidate, running under the late Jack Layton. Party operatives from Ottawa are working on the campaign, there is a high-visibility office in downtown Perth. Party leader Tom Mulcair dropped by for a visit at the Crystal Palace on Aug. 7, so far the only party leader to visit Lanark County during the campaign. Within seconds of entering the office at Gore and Foster streets, there is another tip off that the party thinks they can win this riding – Donna Silver. Perth voters will remember her as a candidate for council

in the last municipal election. And Ottawa voters will remember her as an assistant to former downtown councillor and mayoral candidate Clive Doucet. Fenik looks like he is on a natural high, as he races towards the electoral maps of the riding on a far wall, and begins updating Silver on his recent journeys. He had met a supporter earlier in the week when he was canvassing in Perth. “Oh, I’m on South Street, I support you,” he recalled the man saying to him. That Fenik has support in Perth, where he has been mayor since 2006, should not be surprising. But, to hear him talk, he is building support in unlikely areas far from his bailiwick. “Blakeney is all done,” he said of the village in Mississippi Mills, an area just added to the riding after the electoral map was re-drawn. “A lot of NDP support in Blakeney.” He picks up some campaign literature and bounds out the door again. He is making a beeline for Drummond Street, where he hopes to get some canvassing done. It hasn’t been the straightforward path to a nomination that a politician would have wanted. Fenik’s candidacy to be this area’s MP has been an ongoing stop-and-start momentum. First he mulled running for the Liberals in late 2013, but, after attending a party convention in Montreal in February of 2014, decided to run for

friend’s cottage in July, and so, after the election was called on Sunday, Aug. 2, and he stepped aside temporarily as mayor later that same week, he had to do his ﬁrst leg of canvassing, so to speak, in Glenburney, with the aid of crutches. (It turns out to be a “torn meniscus.” He canvassed half of Pakenham but was unable to do Appleton, he told Silver, because “my leg is acting up.”)

He was ultimately acclaimed and, in the interim, backed Kingston-area candidate Phil Archambault over Liberal activist Phil Somers. Archambault won the nomination but, early in 2015, the two men had some manner of falling out, and Archambault ﬁred Fenik. Fenik then bolted for the New Democrats, both because R0013380385/0910

Act two Late in the afternoon of Wednesday, Sept. 9, kids are just getting off of their second day of school, and parents and other caregivers are heading home too to get dinner on the table, a time of day he calls “the sweet spot of canvassing.” At doors, questions are more directed to make some manner of connection with voters beyond the political. “What’s the cat’s name?” he asks at one door.

my lawn,” says the driver. Another vote appears very receptive. “I like NDP,” she says chirpily. “That’s what we need, change. We need a change, big time.” They get to talking about the Syrian refugee crisis in Europe and Fenik states that Harper “could step up a little bit more, leadership wise,” on the issue. His grandparents and father left what was then Czechoslovakia, now the Czech Republic, before the start of the Second World War, and his father often told him “how blessed I was to be a ﬁrst-born Canadian.” Not all of the houses are sympathetic to Fenik’s message. He

drops off a leaﬂet at one house as the homeowner holds back his German shepherd. Fenik is short on the chitchat, does a truncated version of his stump spiel and then leaves. “Tory blue. I’ve got my sixth sense,” he said, after knocking on so many doors. Another house initially looks a little hostile, but it turns out to be more an example of catching a family in mid-crisis over home repairs. Seeing that the family has children, Fenik launches into a pitch for the party’s $15 a day daycare proposal. Daycare is the party plank he ﬁnds himself talking up the most on this visit. A woman running a home-based day care gets a version of the pitch: “You might be pretty excited about

our plan,” he says as he hands her the leaﬂet, as kids wheel around her on the driveway. As our tour of Merrick Street, Smiths Falls, draws to a close, he tells an anecdote that seems to sum up the tough, uphill nature of his candidacy, Fenik’s humour, and a joke told half in jest, that is also whole in earnest. The story goes, as Fenik tells it, that he knocked on a door and was met by a couple of Jehovah’s Witnesses, who politely informed him that “we believe in God and we don’t vote.” “I totally respect your spirituality,” said Fenik. “But, do me a favour and say a prayer for me. I need all the help I can get.”

This reality hasn’t ended but in an effort to extend our hand and help these women and their children reach their goals, LCIH is happy to have hosted their eRACE Violence walk/run/cycle event at the Middleville & District Museum in Lanark Highlands Sunday, Sept. 13. Sixty-three pre-registered runners, bikers and walkers, joined by some 13 intense souls who came out to register the morning of, braved the elements and took to the roads with smiles (or perhaps grimaces) but still all in support of the work of Lanark County Interval House. Despite the rain, the wonderful team at the Middleville museum, along with the dedicated community volunteers, made this event a true success, helping LCIH raise almost $3,000 in funds. These funds will stay right here in Lanark County to help local women and children flee violence. The success of this first race event highlights this community’s commitment to the issues facing many women and their children in Lanark County – thank you. The event also included baked goods provided by the museum staff and the Sunflower Bake Shop in Perth, with amazing coffee from Perth’s Coutts & Co. Coffee. Draw prizes came in from many generous local businesses, including Perth Blue Wings Hockey; Father & Son Barber Shop; Tay River Reflections Medical Spa

Election in the air

all is definitely in the air. The recent cool evenings and even crisper mornings are an indication of that, but also with the awakening of communities after a sleepy summer. Soon the farmers’ markets will close up shop for the season and thoughts will turn to Thanksgiving and Halloween and of course, the upcoming federal election Monday, Oct. 19. The buzz in the air over this election (and its long campaign period) can’t be ignored and in our local ridings, we have arguably, one of the strongest groups of candidates that we’ve seen in a long time. It’s important, as always, that people make an informed decision when they head to the polls in October. How you cast your vote is just as important as voting itself. Last week, this newspaper began running candidate profiles for the two ridings we serve which will both undergo name changes this year: Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston (incumbent Conservative

Scott Reid, Liberal Phil Archambault, NDP John Fenik and Green Anita Payne) and Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands & Rideau Lakes (incumbent Gord Brown, Liberal Mary Jean McFall, NDP Margaret Andrade and Green Lorraine Rekmans). The profiles offer readers a chance to find out more about the candidates and the platforms they offer. More election information can always be found online at our website: www. insideottawavalley.com. It’s easy to get lost in all the information and spin political parties can put on during a campaign. Make your own choice. Do your research. Visit their websites, take in an all-candidates meeting or two and find out if they represent the ideals of a person you’d like to have as your Member of Parliament. Elections can be an exciting time. Whatever party you support, the most important thing to remember is to get out and vote. You can’t make a difference if you don’t show up to the party.

Getting ready for winter on the farm took much preparation Even though it was still hot as blazes, I knew summer would soon disappear. Signs were everywhere. Mother had started to set out the clothes we would be wearing when summer turned into fall and then into winter. The big trunk that sat in the upstairs hall had on it neat piles of warmer underwear, the long beige stockings I loathed, and sweaters to wear until we changed into our heavier coats. Downstairs in a corner of the kitchen, the old Singer sewing machine would stay opened up, as Mother sewed ripped seams and hemmed trousers and turned collars on my brother’s shirts. Buttons would be checked to make sure they were secure, and by the time the cold weath-

er set in with a vengeance, we would be ready. I knew the season was changing too because our fields were bare. The hay was in the mow in the barn, the harvesting was done, and Father had already started the fall plowing in the back fields. Bags of grain stood in the farthest corner of the cow byre, and as he did every fall or late summer, windows in the barns were made secure, and any broken panes replaced. The barns had to be ‘tight’ as Father

called it, to help keep out the cold blasts of winter. While the days were still warm, Father and my brothers got the ice house ready for the days when fresh blocks would be brought up from the frozen Bonnecherre river. The sodden sawdust would be shoveled out and spread behind the little black building to dry, and then it would be hauled out of the yard down towards the gravel pit. The ice house would be ready for new and dry sawdust brought from the saw mill after the big blocks of ice had been stacked inside. Our stock of roasts of pork, hams and sausages was just about depleted after summer eating and feeding the droves of relatives who came over the summer months, and the smoke

house was being made ready for the new batches being readied as fall came about. Hickory, Father’s favourite wood for the smoke house, would be neatly piled outside the smoke house to augment the piles of cedar and maple logs that would

smolder until the meats were ready for the table. Proof that the summer would soon be gone were the rows of preserves, jams, and pickles that filled the swinging shelves in the dug-out that passed for a cellar under the house. Mother

had worked, often into the night, to ‘put down’ jar upon jar to feed us over the winter months. A sure sign the summer season was coming to an end, was See MARY page 9

Elizabeth May brings Green Party message to students Desmond Peter Devoy

Editor’s note: This is the third part in an ongoing series in which our occasional columnist, London, Ont.-based freelance writer Desmond Peter Devoy, meets federal party leaders in the run up to the Oct. 19 election, his ﬁrst as a Canadian citizen. After attending rallies for federal Liberal Party leader Justin Trudeau in January and New Democratic Party leader Thomas Mulcair in July, Devoy has changed gears slightly to attend his ﬁrst platform plank unveiling, courtesy of federal Green Party leader Elizabeth May, last week. Federal Green Party leader Elizabeth May is promising students a tuition-free future. On Wednesday, Sept. 16, May promised, during a visit to the University of Guelph, that, if elected, her party would attempt to abolish tuition fees by 2020, and place a $10,000 cap on student debt, forgiving any amount larger than this. She lamented that students leave university with an average debt of $25,000. Even though her education platform had been unveiled the previous week, May decided to bring the message directly to campus. In front of hundreds of students, she spoke from the front porch of picture-perfect Raithby House, once a private residence, built in 1882. She exhorted her student audience, whose voter turnout is notoriously low, to “change the direction” and “alter the country for

better, and forever.” She added that the “most powerful tool of political change” is that “stubby little pencil in a small booth.” May was on the second day of a stopover in Guelph, mainly to support the her party’s local candidate, Gord Miller, Ontario’s environmental commissioner from 2000 to 2015, seen as one of her party’s star candidates in Ontario. May lauded Miller for his solid grasp of environmental policy, the economy, and human rights. During the gruelling 78-day pre-election-day campaign, May has been crisscrossing the country, drumming up support for Green Party candidates, hoping that enough Greens would be elected to inﬂuence the environmental policies of the ruling party. The previous afternoon she had attended a street-corner rally at one of Guelph’s busiest intersections, Stone Road and Gordon Street, where a small park leads onto the university grounds. This exuberant meeting of supporters reminded me of a late 1960s phenomenon, The Happening. This term was ﬁrst coined in 1957, and usually referred to performance art. By the late 1960s, the meaning was broadened to include any celebratory event. The street-corner rally was this kind of ‘Happening’, and was much less structured than most political town-hall meetings, which tend to be staid and predictable. This gathering was a great photo-op for all major participants: Eliz-

Flanked by party faithful, candidates and students, federal Green Party leader Elizabeth May announces that tuition fees would be abolished by 2020 under a Green government, at Raithby House at the University of Guelph on Sept. 16. abeth May, Gord Miller, and Ontario Green Party leader Mike Schreiner. When I arrived at the intersection, I wondered if the gathering had been can-

celled, for no green shirts were in sight. Then I noticed a sea of green across the road, just inside the small park, which had a large sculpted animal guarding

the entrance. (My ﬁrst ﬂeeting impression was that I was looking at an oversized rat. This erroneous impression was quickly corrected, when I heard a youngster exclaim: “Oh, look at the gryphon!” the university mascot.) About 50 Green supporters moved to the nearest street corner, hoisting banners and waving at passing, honking motorists. One of them gently chided me for not wearing a green shirt, but I explained that the only green shirt I owned bore the invitation: “Kiss me, I’m Irish!” The Green volunteers fanned out, as small groups moved to each of the intersection’s corners. One passing car belched black smoke from its exhaust, causing many of those present to joke that the polluting car was likely not owned by a Green voter. After some minutes Elizabeth May arrived, and she instantly energized everyone present. She has a direct, open quality about her, which is markedly different from the carefully scripted persona adapted by many politicians. Homeward-bound drivers and passers-by were likely intrigued to see a national political party leader engaging openly with citizens on a busy street, waving at cars, glad-handing, and apparently having an enjoyable time. May’s daughter, Cate May Burton, told me that her mother is “happy for others to take the ideas of the Green Party, but she also wants to help See GREEN page 12

so used to dealing with issues that concern only Ontario, that when the attention switches to national affairs, he must realign his focus.) The Greens, Schreiner added, are the one party ”that’s willing to take on the tough issues, like the climate crisis, and won’t tie itself to one issue, like the tar sands.” I was reminded of his words, the following day, by a slogan that had been marked in chalk on a University of Guelph wall. “Elizabeth May,” Schreiner said, “was the first party leader to take on Bill C-51, the Harper government’s attack on our democratic rights and freedoms.” He was encouraged by the “Green wave in Guelph,” and added that “more Green MPs are needed in Ottawa, to work with Elizabeth, to bring forward the agenda that the Canadian people want.” The Greens, Schreiner believes, “is the party that’s on the right side of history.” Before the rally wrapped up, dozens of Green volunteers gathered around and upon the gryphon statue, to pose for a group photo. By this time I’d learned that the mythical gryphon is the symbol of the University of Guelph’s sports teams. First conceived in 1956, the bronze statue cost $300,000 to build, and was unveiled in 2014. One boisterous celebrant, waving a large placard while perched precariously on one of the gryphon’s wings, was warned: “Be careful you don’t fall down from up there!” The following day, during May’s appearance at Raithby

irrespective of political affiliation, and will eventually affect every living thing on this planet. One voter had already gotten the message, spelling out his or her feelings in bright, bold chalk on a nearby campus wall: “Climate Change is the Real Issue of this Election.”

House, the question of strategic voting was again raised. May recalled what some voters in her coastal British Columbia riding of Saanich-Gulf Islands had told her: “‘I voted for you in 2011. I think you’ve done a wonderful job. This time, though, I think I’ll have to vote strategically.’ I’ve heard it so often, that I don’t think it’s funny anymore. Strategic voting tells people: You can’t vote for who you want elected, and it undercuts the opportunity to actually elect who you want.” Asked if she hoped the other parties would support some of the Green’s ideas, such as tuition-free education, May answered: “The short answer is ‘yes’, but every one of the big and bold new ideas in this election has come from the Green Party. The other parties are duking it out for the turf at the cutting edge of the status quo.” May added that all Green MPs elected will be at liberty to vote freely, as there will never be a whipped vote in the Greens. May derided the first-past-thepost electoral system. “It injects toxicity,’ she said. “ It poisons the well of democracy, when you can’t say out loud: ‘I like other parties’ ideas.’ Cross-party cooperation is constantly undercut by this perverse voting system. Any proportional representational system would be better. The present system is enhancing and increasing and encouraging a hyper-partisanship, which is so insane that it should be classified in the DSM,” she said, referring the psychiatrist’s bible, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of

them to be less partisan. In an election campaign, that doesn’t happen, but between election campaigns, there’s really no need for the kind of ‘elbows-out’ strategies in politics. In between elections, it should be collaborative.” Burton will accompany her mother for 72 days of her campaign, and has been by her side since Aug. 6, the day of the Maclean’s debate. “It’s very exciting”, Burton continued. “We get so much energy from supporters, wherever we go. That part of it is fantastic.” Here she struck a cautionary note, explaining that while she completely supported the Green campaign, she was also personally dedicated to ensuring that her mother received adequate rest and nutrition. “It can be very exhausting as well, so part of my job is to make sure that she stays alive, because she can’t take care of herself and try to run an election campaign.” Back on the street, the rushhour traffic intensified. Green supporters were finally warned not to continue crossing from one corner to another, out of concern for their safety. “We don’t want Green mixing with red,” one wit muttered. A modified tricycle, decked out in Green colours, pulled up, and was dubbed “The Limo-Green.” May was delighted with the young child resting comfortably in the bicycle’s enlarged seat, calling her “our youngest supporter.” Many Green voters had come to Guelph from across the country to help Miller with his campaign. One such dedicated supporter was Arleigh Luckett, from Gravenhurst, Ont., about 227 km to the north. “Gord is a terrific candidate,” she told me. “I believe in what the Greens stand for, and if you don’t vote for what you believe in, then how do you ever expect to get it?” In her home riding of Parry SoundMuskoka, her Green candidate is schoolteacher Glen Hodgson who, although still teaching fulltime, is presently ramping up his campaign. “Greens try to stand together,” Luckett explained, “to make things work. If we can get one Green MP elected in southern Ontario, I feel certain that a lot more Green voters will come out of the woodwork, because they’ll know that what people have been saying—that it can’t work—is wrong.” I also spoke with Mike Schreiner, leader of the Ontario Green Party, who said that his movement “is the one political party that has a vision to create a fair, prosperous future for Ontario.” After a split-second pause, he added: “…and Canada.” (Schreiner confided that that he’s

Change of artist for first Blues on the Rideau show this Friday Unfortunately we just learned that Danny Brooks and Lil’ Miss Debi are unable to make it to Blues on the Rideau at The Cove Inn in Westport this Friday, Sept. 25 as originally planned due to last minute, unforeseen issues with U.S. immigration. However, as much as we are saddened that they can’t make it we are pleased to announce that The Memphis Brothers are still coming with Bucky Berger on drums, Dennis Pinhorn on bass and Papa John King on guitar – all multiple Maple Blues Award win-

ners/nominees. And the lovely and talented Miss Robin Banks (a three-time Maple Blues Award nominee for Best Female Vocalist) will be joining them on lead vocals. Robin has played The Cove several times in the past and everyone who has seen her knows what a great voice she has and what a terriﬁc show she puts on, so it’s still going to be a great night of blues to kick off the 2015/16 BOTR season! If you are reading this and have made a reservation for Danny Brooks and decide you need to cancel or reduce

your numbers because he isn’t going to be there or if you want to come and see Robin and the band now that you know she’s coming, call The Cove at 613-273-3636 or 1-888-COVEINN as soon as possible and let them know. Dinner and show is only $65 and runs from 7 to 11 p.m. Pro-

ceeds from this night go to support Westport in Bloom. There are still tickets available and a couple of rooms. We look forward to seeing you there on Friday. We apologize to anyone who may have been inconvenienced by this unforeseen situation. We hope to get Danny back in the future (next year) after

his immigration hassles have been sorted out. Visit www.BluesOnTheRideau. ca for more details on the 2015/16 lineup including photos of the bands, links to their websites, Facebook pages and YouTube videos. Blues on the Rideau is produced

by Choose the Blues Productions in co-operation with The Cove Inn, Westport (www.coveinn.com). Follow Choose the Blues Productions and The Cove Inn on Facebook and Twitter to keep up to date on upcoming shows. Submitted by Choose the Blues Productions.

Be safe this hunting season

The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, in partnership with the OPP, is encouraging all hunters to be-

come familiar with all safety rules and resources that are available to them so that they have a safe hunting season. “Safety needs to be a top priority for hunters as they head out this season. I urge everyone who takes part in this outdoor activity to know and follow the safety rules,” said Bill Mauro, Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry. According to the ministry, hunters buy approximately 600,000 licences to hunt in Ontario annually, generating approximately $26 million in revenue. To report unlawful night hunting or any other illegal and unsafe hunting activity, call the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry tips line at 1-877-847-7667 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.

With hunting season getting underway, Ontario is reminding hunters that safety needs to be their first priority. There are a number of ways hunters can keep themselves and those around them, safe. These include: • Telling someone where you will be hunting and when you will be returning • Wearing hunter orange • Handling firearms with care and attention at all times • Never shooting unless you’re sure of your target and what lies beyond • Carrying a survival kit and a small first aid kid with you at all times • Never drinking alcohol while hunting

‘Remember – Green bus good, Red bus bad’

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.

FALL SERIES

Green, not red One of the best ways to see a new city is to take a hop-on, hop-off bus tour. You can purchase tickets for one day or a pass to cover several days. Make sure to take the full tour ﬁrst. Afterwards, when you see a place that interests you, get off and have a closer look. Return to the stop and another bus will whisk you to the next objective. It’s the ideal way to get around a city you aren’t familiar with. Hop-on, hop-off tours are available in major cities around the world including Canadian centres. After four visits we’ve become familiar with Central Dublin. We bought hop-on, hop-off passes anyway. That’s because the buses go to all the major attractions and offer a much more direct route than regular public transit. We rode the buses on and off for six days and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We met people from around the world and visited a number of locations we had not been to previously. Along the way we had the beneﬁt of hearing the tour highlights from a number of different drivers. Most of them were good but some were far better than others. Instead of playing the canned (recorded) tour highlights, a few drivers prefer to give you their own narration. It was one of those operators in particular who provided us with some of the best laughs we had during our stay in Dublin. The man was absolutely hilarious.

The Arvic Group

The day before an obviously excited Darren reminded us about the big game. “The match starts at 5. You’ll have to be in the pub by tree-tirty if you want a seat,” he advised. The Irish drop their H’s which gives the language an interesting lilt! We followed his advice and had a thoroughly enjoyable evening in a jampacked pub in Temple Bar, drinking Guinness with some of the most enthusiastic sports fans I have ever seen. Dublin staged a second half comeback to win, making Darren and a few hundred thousand others very happy. They earned a berth against County Kerry in the All-Ireland ﬁnal which was played in Dublin Sunday afternoon. Dublin captured the 2015 title with a three-point victory over Kerry on a rainsoaked pitch. Darren will be delighted. The day before we departed for England Darren gave us his card and very sincerely said, “Come see us again soon. And send anyone else you know to see me. I’ll look after dem.” The Irish sometimes drop their T’s too!

We really enjoyed our recent visit to Ireland and for us what helps enhance any overseas vacation is some of the characters we meet along the way. Believe me, Ireland has more than its share of unique individuals and we’ve been fortunate enough to rub shoulders with some of them during our travels across the island. During this stay we were based in Central Dublin at a hotel that quickly became our favourite European hostelry of all time. The staff was exceptional, the room was modern and well-appointed and the food was first rate. Topping off the experience was the presence of the funniest concierge we have ever encountered. Darren is his name and he was hilarious. He’s the energizer bunny of the concierge profession. A short, wiry, high energy lad who I judged to be in his late 30s. Darren has fiery red hair and a bit of a Leprechaun’s look about him. From the moment he assisted us with our luggage on arrival, we took an instant liking to him. I think he’s the kind of guy everyone likes. The man simply couldn’t do enough for us and with the exception of one day he was on the job the entire week we were in the Irish capital. Darren had a joke for us every morning. He also invited any questions and was ready and willing to assist us and every hotel patron. During the week he called our room twice to make sure we were happy and to offer his services whenever we might need him. One afternoon we headed out the main doors on our way to the nearby Jervis Street Centre, a large and modern shopping complex in the heart of Dublin. Suddenly Darren rounded the corner. He was helping push a large cart stacked high with suitcases. When he saw us he feigned exhaustion, wiped his brow and said, “Oh, I hope this doesn’t fall over. Someone could be badly injured sir – and it could be me!” We all had a good laugh. Early in the visit he saw the jacket I was wearing which bore the logo of my favourite football (soccer) team. “Arsenal is it sir. Well I’ll forgive you that if you cheer for Dublin in the big match Saturday.” Darren was referring to the Gaelic (Irish) football semi-final replay between County Dublin and County Mayo, played at Croke Park in Dublin on Saturday, Sept. 5. The teams tied the previous weekend, setting up a winnertake-all showdown in front of more than 83,000 rabid fans. Outdoor activity in busy Dublin virtually stopped during the two hours the teams went head-to-head. If they weren’t at the game Dubliners jammed every pub or stopped at home to watch the contest on television. If you’ve never seen a game of Gaelic football it is a rough and tumble combination of soccer, rugby and Australian Rules Football which is pure entertainment from start to finish.

From page 14

His name was John and he definitely has his own style, something we appreciated very much during the 90 minutes or so we rode on his coach. We were passing through expansive Phoenix Park on a typically dreary and cool Irish morning. As we drove along it suddenly brightened and John said, “Ladies and gentlemen if you look to your right, over the Dublin Mountains, you’ll see that a very bright object has appeared in the sky. “That is the sun and you are in luck because today it is making its annual appearance over Dublin. Make sure to enjoy it while you can. This won’t happen again until next September.” All kidding aside John wasn’t far off. Ireland experienced one of the coldest, wettest summers in its long history this year. The mercury topped 20C on only three occasions according to our informants. Great craic Still, the funniest part of our intrepid driver’s patter was reserved for passengers of a rival firm. There are at least three hop-on, hop-off companies plying their trade in Ireland’s capital. The Dublin buses we rode are green. Their main competitor operates red vehicles. John had a field day with them! He wears a microphone so his words can be heard over the PA throughout the huge, double-decker vehicle. At the St. Patrick’s Cathedral stop he said, “Oh no, here’s a sorry looking group. They must be on the red bus.” After several of our passengers exited, John spoke to a man through the open door. “Are you waiting for the red bus sir?” Evidently the chap, who was standing with a woman and a young man I took to be his wife and son, answered in the affirmative. “Oh Missus,” he said to the lady. “You’ve made a terrible mistake. You’ve booked the red buses. You could be stood

here for hours. Tut, tut. The red buses – they never seem to come do they.” Meanwhile John’s passengers, including ourselves, were enjoying the “craic” (fun) as they say in Ireland. “Are you goin’ to the Guinness Storehouse,” John continued. “What are there, tree of ya? Hop on. I’ll take youse. No, no bother at all. Climb on – I’ll take youse. If you wait for the red bus you’ll be here for hours.” The trio appeared uncertain. The gentleman slowly climbed the steps and peered inside. When he saw all the smiling faces he knew they’d been had. But he motioned for the others to follow him and they climbed aboard. So, three red bus passengers got a free ride to Guinness brewery on the green bus, courtesy of wisecracking John. This went on throughout the trip and rather than being repetitive he made it highly amusing. Always at the expense of red bus passengers of course. Many of the hop-on, hop-off stops coincide which makes it easy for him to ply his particular brand of comic relief. Everyone within earshot hears John’s ongoing admonishment. “Green bus good, red bus bad!” Enroute to our destination we were treated to loads of his humour. “Look here on the left,” he exclaimed at one point. John gestured toward a small square between two busy streets. “They’ve put a sun dial in the pavements there. Can you see it? “A sun dial in Dublin. Deary me. “You’ll also notice it’s in the shade of six oak trees. We have no need of it when the sun shines one day a year!” Kathleen and I were bound for a tour of notorious Kilmainham Gaol (jail), a place I will write about in a future column. We reached the stop and as we exited the coach John started to say, “Remember sir…” I ﬁnished the sentence for him, “Yes – we know – take the green bus, not the red bus!” If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers.com.

It’s all shaping up to be the most exciting season yet at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre (FCT). With nearly 110 events on the books so far for 2015-2016, Perth’s only ground-level, barrier-free theatre is lining up another season of surprising, varied entertainment. By the time you read this, Film Night International will have already kicked off the fall (their fifth season at Full Circle) with a special free screening of A Brilliant Young Mind – a screening they were awarded by the Film Circuit for their achievement in audience development and audience participation. Their next event, and the official beginning of their fall series, will be Sept. 30, at 2 and 7 p.m. with Learning To Drive, featuring Ben Kingsley. All the information is at http://filmnightinternational.blogspot.ca/. Oct. 3 at 7:30 p.m. is a special performance of a show that has been a big hit, including performances at the NAC in Ottawa. Tess McManus brings Tales She Tells to FCT, a one-woman show, assisted by Susan Toman on the Celtic harp, of stories and music from Ireland. “Tess McManus is a delightful performer and the script is funny and engaging,” says the Fully Fringed blog. “Charming, honest, and with a memorable performer at its heart.” says Kevin Reid of The Visitorium blog. You can see a preview of the show here: http:// www.tessmcmanus.com/littlegreenhat/ taleshetells/. Tickets are $22. Contact www.tessmcmanus.com. BarnDoor Productions’ 21st season opens on Oct. 16 with the delightful comedy, My Old Lady by Israel Horovitz. The show has been a major hit across the continent and in Europe and was recently made into a movie featuring Kevin Kline, Maggie Smith and Kristin Scott Thomas. That movie was so well received that Horovitz rewrote the play around the movie script in 2015 and BarnDoor’s staging of it will be the first Canadian production of the newly revised script. It’s about a down-on-his-luck man who inherits an apartment in Paris – and finds that he has also inherited the old woman who lives in it. The show runs Oct. 16, 17, 22, 23, 24 at 8 p.m. and Oct. 18 and 25 at 2 p.m. Oct. 30 is another special musical/ dramatic evening as Charles MacPhail Productions presents Davy, The Punk, a story of gamblers and the Mob and Toronto The Good. Performed by veteran performer, songwriter and playwright Bob Bossin, it was called “Fascinating... amazing and sometimes hilarious” by Michael Enright of CBC Radio. A preview of the show can be found at http://www.davythepunk.com. With movie event like the premiere of The Story of Perth, Part Two and the first production of Snowed Under, a comedy for the holidays based on a 1936 movie scheduled for November, lots more music – including some ultrasecret plans that may bring one of the biggest names in Canadian entertain-

Thanks to my Assist2Sell Realtor for all her hard work. This was not an easy deal to put together but she got it done. As a former Realtor I am very picky…and I would recommend her to anyone in the Lanark County area. She is very thorough... and charges a flat rate to sell. I saved thousands in real estate fees!!

Walkathon thank you

A huge shout out to all those who came out to our Walk Your Paws for LAWS on Sept. 19. It was windy and it did rain near the end of the day but wow, did we have fun! So many dogs and a lot of laughing – we are very thankful for everyone’s support at our fundraiser as well as those who donated online via Canada Helps. Also a huge shout out goes to our sponsors Waggs ‘n Whiskers as well as Hinton Dodge Chrysler. Thank you to Starbucks for bringing coffee for everyone, to mayor Louis Antonakos for serving at our barbecue and thank you to Carleton Place Inde-

pendent for donating the barbecue food, and to the volunteers who came out to hand out water along the waterfront as well as our face painting volunteers and booth volunteers. Also a thank you goes out to Natural Pet Foods as well as Marshall’s Dog Rescue, Purrdy Paws and Sit With Me for attending this event. Great work team! This week’s featured pets Jesse Meet Jesse. He is a very handsome gentleman with a noticeable character who wandered in off the streets after losing his way home. Jesse arrived unneutered but a pussycat all the same and what a love bug! He is good with other cats and children as he is quite soft natured. If you are looking for a handsome addition with lots of pizzazz – Jesse is your man.

Dijon Dijon is looking for a home that will allow him space. He really does not like being the centre of attention nor does he like life in a box. Dijon will want to go in side and outside and he will ﬂourish in this type of environment. If you have a safe country home where Dijon may wander in and out of the barn and to socialize with other animals, he would be one happy cat!

Honey Honey loves the snow almost as much as she loves the water. With another winter coming, it would be nice to see Honey ﬁnd her family. Great with people, Honey is not pet friendly and that’s the reason she remains at the shelter. Honey will make a great companion and sense of security except she really is a push over. If you are familiar with dogs and wish another loyal friend, please consider Honey. Thank you for your continued support.

CHiP program returns to Smiths Falls Sept. 26 A missing child is every parent’s worst nightmare! Ontario had the highest proportion per capita of missing children. Child Find Ontario’s caseload of missing children consist of runaways, parental abductions, stranger abductions and children who have become lost or separated from their families. Did you know that most parents do not have identifying items ready to help law enforcement quickly recover their missing child? Stop and ask yourself that question right now? Are you prepared? Lori Lawrence, health care professional and owner of Smile Sensations in Smiths Falls says she enjoys being involved in community endeavours. “A few years ago I had a wonderful opportunity to volunteer at a CHiP (Child Identiﬁcation Program) event during an outdoor summer festival. Knowing how important this event is to our children I offered my dental hygiene clinic to our local Mason group to use for the “free” CHiP event. It is my pleasure to be able to help promote this

amazing program to everyone in my hometown of Smiths Falls and surrounding communities,” Lawrence said. When the children arrive, the parents are given Child Information Kits. Each child moves from station to station to complete their kit. Stations include height and weight, ﬁngerprinting, digital still photos, teeth imprints, DNA swab, and a video interview that captures the appearance, speech, mannerisms, and important personal characteristics of a child. All of the information that is taken is given to the parents in the form of a paper copy plus a CD to take home. No information about any child is kept by the event providers or volunteers. Parents are reminded to take the package on trips or vacations and to make multiple copies of the CD to leave with family members. Better yet, copy the CD onto a jump drive and keep it on your

key chain. “I cannot stress enough how much this is a vital community service for children and their families,” Lawrence said. “We are very fortunate that the Masons have developed the tools, management skills and volunteer network needed to provide one of the most comprehensive child recovery and identification programs on the continent. This Child Information Kit is a valuable resource for law enforcement officers to aid in the recovery of a missing child,” she added. “Protecting as many children in our communities as possible is my goal; I am honoured to be able to offer my office to host this free event on a yearly basis,” she added. Bring your children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews on Saturday, Sept. 26 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., 34 James St., Smiths Falls. For more information, call 613-205-0555.

LAWS humane education program gears up for another year in local schools After thee successful years, Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) is once again offering school based lesson plans to all schools/community groups in Lanark County and the surrounding area via their humane education program. “Our pilot year was very well received. It’s amazing how much interest there has been for the program. I met just over 2,200 children in the last year alone so I hope we made an impact on the importance of compassion towards animals,” says Beth Searle, OCT, the Humane Education director for LAWS. Compassion is the key with each visit. The humane education program not only talks about how to treat your animal at home but also focuses each and every visit on how to greet unknown dogs. Her furry friend Bentley – a nineyear-old Chocolate Labrador – helps each child learn how to greet him if they so wish. “So many children do not know how

Beth Searle, along with furry friend Bentley, a nine-year-old Chocolate Labrador, above, will be visiting schools and community groups once again this year through the Lanark Animal Welfare Society’s (LAWS) humane education program. This is the third year for the initiative, which teaches the importance of compassion towards animals.

to greet a dog properly. This can result in children developing fear towards dogs which in general can be avoided very easily if taught the proper methods. Most dogs love children and will happily greet them but to keep both the dog safe and the child safe it’s important every child knows how important it is to greet a dog properly. We also talk about why sometimes children shouldn’t greet dogs and how to respect the animals’ space when out in public,” she says. With every visit Searle delivers a school-based lesson to the class. As a former teacher, her lessons run from JK/ SK up to grade 12. “I have met some amazing high school kids who already understand the importance of compassion towards animals. We expanded on that with handson activities both in class as well as at the shelter,” Searle says of previous visits. The lessons offered in the humane

education program are often incorporated into units for literacy, math, social studies and art. The program over the last two years has expanded to also include community groups. Searle visited with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County after school programs, as well as Beavers and Girls Guides, along with some Sunday schools who requested a visit with Bentley. “Although this is a school-based program, there is always room for expanding this further wherever there is a need or a desire for us to be there,” Searle says. “LAWS is a fantastic animal rescue shelter. I’m very proud to be a part of LAWS and to be bringing this program out in to our community.” With the new school year started, classrooms and community groups will be treated to engaging school lessons that according to Searle, “encourages See EDUCATION page 30

sion, a sense of justice and a respect for the value of all living creatures. It provides knowledge to resolve conflict situations and make responsible choices with regards to animals at home and in the community, as well as fostering a sense of social responsibility. The students learn how to make good choices that reflect their own personal beliefs and to take action to defend those beliefs. Caring for themselves and all other living creatures, and developing a strong sense of self is at the root of what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to achieve with this program. In the long term, we hope that this will encourage the next generation to not only

become responsible animal owners, but help them some day to become confident, determined, responsible and passionate adults.â&#x20AC;?

Fall Colours Nature Walk on Blueberry Mountain set for Oct. 4 renowned conservationists such as John Muir or Grey Owl. For this occasion however, Howard will draw on his rich professional background in mental health and child development. He will provide researched evidence and stories from his own personal experiences that have convinced him that exposure to nature is by far the best means to enhance our wellbeing as well as the best gift that parents can give to their children. In so doing Howard will debunk many of the myths that have held back this generation of parents from reaping the unfathomable riches that nature has in store for those who partake.

Symphony Senior Living, a company renowned for its leading-edge memory care, soon be expanding their Moments® memory care program for seniors living with Alzheimer’s or dementia at Carleton Place Terrace. Those with memory loss are often most comfortable in the “here and now”, so the staff for the Moments® program help residents and their families live fully in the present and treasure each “moment”. This is a very unique approach that really helps to minimize confusion, agitation and frustration, hence the name “Moments”. With Moments®, staff take a highly personalized approach to each resident’s care and support. Each individual brings a unique set of experiences, abilities, preferences and needs. Lisa Brush, founder of Symphony Senior Living says “It’s important to gain a deep understanding of every resident’s background, so the focus is on what they can do, rather than what they cannot”. The approach to wellness is proactive in this program. Each resident receives a comprehensive assessment before joining the program. The wellness team then customizes a

care plan based upon a detailed health history, which allows them to work closely with each resident. This enables staff to quickly identify even small changes in behavior or routine that may signal the need for an adjustment to their wellness strategy. This keeps residents stronger longer and crises at bay. In Symphony’s Moments® program, each resident has a dedicated caregiver at each time of the day, not several people. These members develop a deep personal knowledge of the resident, becoming like family and learning their histories, interests and preferences. As well, team members wear clothes that you would see in your home, not scrubs or medical uniforms to frighten or remind residents that they need extra help each day. At night, as a natural cue that it’s time to rest, caregivers don cozy pajamas. This helps increase comfort levels, so residents feel calmer and at ease. Through the innovative Moments® program, Symphony Senior Living offers a whole new approach to memory care for families in Carleton Place.

Bring a picnic lunch, bring your family and enjoy the sense of renewal that comes from the annual Fall Colours Nature Walk to the top of Blueberry Mountain, hosted by the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust (MMLT). Nature seems to respond to our deep need for beauty. It’s as if the outer layer of green, relaxing, healing colours has been dropped to reveal what has always been there, but hidden from the naked eye. Take this opportunity to rejoice in the explosion of riotous colours that splendidly display the beauty that no artist can match. During this annual nature walk, owner Howard Clifford often provides a dramatization of the life of well-

Strong cast makes this film more than poor man’s Hunger Games My Take

Mark haskins

Though things are never simple. It turns out the runners haven’t been rescued. They’ve been harvested. Thomas with the help of another runner, Aris (Jacob Lofland), discovers they’re still in WICKED’s control. WICKED is taking the runners and draining them to make a cure for the flare. With the truth revealed Thomas and his friends escape. They’d rather take their chances in the Scorch than with WICKED. The Scorch however is not an easy place to survive. Unless they can reach a safe haven they’ll either end up dead or back with WICKED. Even without reading The Scorch Trials I still had the feeling there was a lot missing, or things glossed over. This isn’t unusual in movies based on books, but a movie should always be able to stand on its own. It shouldn’t rely on people already knowing the book to fill in the holes in the character development, and the plot of the movie. Still, The Scorch Trials is a decent action film, with its own spin on a broken world. It has some interesting plot twists

for those who haven’t read the book, and things move at a quick enough pace that you don’t notice the holes too much. I do like the cast. Dylan O’Brian is very good as the conﬂicted hero. Kaya Scodelario also plays that role really

well. I like Ki Hong Lee and Thomas Brodie-Sangster, but disappointed to see them have lesser roles. Rosa Salazar and Giancarlo Esposito are nice additions to the cast, and Patricia Clark and Aidan Gillen have no trouble taking on the role

of villain. The Scorch Trials may be a poor man’s Hunger Games, but it isn’t without its own charms. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

MOVIE: The Scorch Trials STARRING: Dylan O’Brian, Kaya Scodelario, Ki Hong Lee, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Rosa Salazar, Giancarlo Esposito, Patricia Clark, and Aidan Gillen DIRECTOR: Wes Ball RATING: PG Does anyone else ﬁnd it disturbing that post-apocalyptic dystopias are such a popular genre amongst our youth? I love a hopeless struggle in a broken world as much as the next person, but there does seem to be an awful lot of these stories these days. In that vein we have the latest instalment from the Maze Runner series which falls squarely into that category. The Scorch Trials isn’t a sequel, but a continuation of The Maze Runner. We pick up right where we left off with our surviving Gladers including Thomas (Dylan O’Brian), Minho (Ki Hong Lee), Newt (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) and Teresa (Kaya Scodelario) getting rescued from WICKED and whisked away to a safe facility. It’s there they meet all the other maze runners who’ve been rescued from all the other mazes. We’re also brought up to speed on the world. It turns out the sun has scorched the Earth and unleashed a virus called the ﬂare that effectively turns people into zombies. The whole purpose of the mazes was to develop a cure. Of course with the maze runners freed that’s no longer possible.

Dr. Bernard Thébaud, a regenerative medicine researcher at the CHEO Research Institute, is a world-renowned scientist and pediatrician.. He has dedicated his career to helping some of the most medically fragile patients breathe on their own.

More recently, Dr. Thébaud and his research team were the ﬁrst to discover that stem cells from umbilical cords not only prevent lung damage but can rescue already damaged lungs. This discovery was made right here in Ottawa!

Premature infants, those born earlier than the usual 37 weeks of pregnancy, are a major focus of his research given that half of all babies born prematurely suffer longterm lung damage. Dr. Thébaud garnered international attention earlier in his career after publishing promising results in an experimental model of premature lung injury.

Now, using the knowledge he has gained by studying the mechanisms of lung development, illness, and repair, he is ﬁne-tuning the new treatments he designed to treat incurable lung diseases. With his ambitious research program and with your help, he hopes to bring these safe and effective cell-based therapies into the clinic within the next two years.

Car write offs create questions Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

2010 Kia Soul. It was declared a write off. I had no problem with that, or the $1,000 deductible as I had chosen this to lower my premiums. My question pertains to the fact the insurance company pays me the calculated value of the car minus the deductible, then keeps the car and sells it for salvage. As they are recouping some of their cost (which they would not with a repair) should there not be a waiving of all/portion of the deductible? I seem to recall a class action suit pertaining to this subject. Thank you for your thoughts” Ron I’ve not heard of any classaction(s) regarding this but the insurance company will only receive a percentage of the current wholesale value of the vehicle from a salvage company. Depending on the popularity of the vehicle and the subsequent demand for used parts and the amount of damage this can range anywhere from 25-75 per cent of the wholesale value of the vehicle (in an undamaged state). So if the Soul had a wholesale value of $8,000 and the insurance company was paying out $10,000 as a market value to you and a salvage yard was only paying them $4,000, their net loss after the $1,000 deductible would be $5,000. While it certainly would be more expensive for them to repair it, you agreed to the deductible in a contract, so they aren’t obligated to do any more.

Remember, when it comes to a write-off settlement you don’t have to take their ﬁrst offer. They have to demonstrate that you can purchase another 2010 Soul (same equipment, mileage, and condition) for what they are offering you. So when you get their offer, do some research and don’t be shy about asking for a better deal if it doesn’t measure up. “Hi Brian My insurer took my total loss vehicle to an undisclosed location without advising me ﬁrst and without my ownership. We do have personal items in that vehicle. Can they do that?” Jen They still need you to sign over ownership to them and provide you with convenient access to the vehicle to retrieve personal items. You can always call your agent or the claims adjuster and ask about including reimbursement in your settlement for missing items (that might wake them up and get things moving faster). You also shouldn’t have to travel hours to some salvage site to retrieve them because they jumped the gun to have the vehicle taken away; they should offer to courier the items to you. If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, [By email to emc@perfprint.ca or directly to bjoeturner@hotmail.com listing ‘Question for the Car Counsellor’ in the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 65 Lorne St., P.O. Box 158, Smiths Falls, ON K7A 4T1]. When using regular mail, please supply a phone number if you seek direct contact (due to volume, I can’t always promise replies).

Under the Highway Trafﬁc Act, any person travelling in a motor vehicle who is at least 16 years of age must occupy a seat with a seatbelt. Parents are reminded that passengers under 16 years of age must be properly buckled up in a car seat, booster seat, or seat belt, whichever is appropriate for their age, height, and weight. The Ministry of Transportation’s (MTO) website has comprehensive information about properly restraining your child, including proper car seat installation.

So far this year 42 people have been killed on OPP-patrolled roads who were not wearing a seat belt in comparison to 34 people last year for the same time period. The most recent OPP statistics are even more alarming; during the week of Sept. 7-13, seven people were killed in motor vehicle collisions in Ontario – six of those people were not wearing a seat belt. “Adult seat belt use is the

“Hello Brian, I am a regular reader of your column in this paper and have a few questions. My son in law recently purchased a 2005 Toyota Sienna Van from a local independent used car retailer. The minivan is in exceptional shape with 105,000 km on it. He was shown the Car Proof report, which seemed complete without any gaps. Is the engine on this vehicle an interference or non-interference type and what should the timing belt change interval be? We are getting a lot of conflicting info about these two questions from the internet and even the mechanic that our retailer uses. Also in July I bought a new Hyundai Elantra from an authorized dealership and if I followed their service schedule I would be back there every 6,000 km. I downloaded a schedule from a US dealer and am going to follow that (e.g. the first service is at 12,000 km). This seems to be in line with the manufacturer’s schedule for “normal” service while my dealer seems to follow the “severe” schedule? Brian thanks for your attention to these queries. Best regards” Jack The 2005 Sienna’s engine is an interference type, which means if the timing belt breaks while the engine is running; you will be looking at replacing the engine. The Toyota recommended interval is 144,000 km and I wouldn’t skip this service. Yes, most Hyundai stores suggest the severe service schedule for Canadian vehicles and I would agree with them. Our climate and operating conditions fit that description. “Hi Brian, Hello, my son just totaled our

Perth hospital officially opens palliative room to honour beloved granny Desmond Devoy

From left, Glen Tay residents Libby Ladd, Katie Ladd, the late Valerie Beechey’s granddaughter and daughter respectively, sit on the sofa of the new palliative room at the Perth hospital during the grand opening ceremony on Sept. 15. Valerie’s grandson, Quinton, tries out the adjustable chair, watched over by his grandfather, Valerie’s widower, Roy Beechey.

At the end of life, for those looking to say goodbye, the greatest gift of all can be the gift of time. Away from nurses hustling nearby, just doing their job. Away from other patients. A place to talk about things that should have been talked about years ago, those things you always meant to say, but could never ﬁnd the words, or time, or strength, and now get said because the sands in the hour glass are running preciously low. Now, palliative care patients and their families have just such a place in Perth. On Sept. 1, 2014, Valerie Beechey died in room 202 of the Great War Memorial Hospital campus of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital. A year later, following a $25,000 donation from her family, the Perth hospital has its own palliative care room, done in Beechey’s honour. “The original plan was to renovate the room that Valerie passed away in,” said her widower, Roy Beechey, during an interview in the room, shortly after the grand opening on Tuesday, Sept. 15. Margot Hallam, director of the Great War Memorial Hospital of Perth District Foundation, suggested something else – a palliative care room. “Let’s do something in honour of a wonderful woman, a fourth-generation nurse,” said Valerie’s daughter, Katie Beechey, to create a space where the family can “close the door and have your time.” “We were very happy to help make it happen,” agreed Roy. In the weeks leading up to her death, there was “just not a lot of space” for all of the family members who had come to Valerie’s bedside. Katie recalled how she longed for “a space not to step on each other’s feet,” she said. During her ﬁrst stretch at the hospital, Valerie was in a semi-private room, but she was later moved to a private room. “It turned out to be a long stay,” said Roy, longer than anyone had anticipated, spreading out over four months. Even so, “the staff were just wonderful,” said Katie. “You all want to bring your family member home and that wasn’t going to happen,” said Roy of the family’s realization that this was it.

One of the aspects of the new room that she loves the best is the large window looking out onto the hospital’s front lawn running parallel to Drummond Street. “It’s not an institution,” she said of the view. “It’s beautiful Perth. It reminds you that you are still alive.” Earlier in the morning, just before the ribbon-cutting, Susan Roberts, the hospital’s patient care manager, said that the final days of a patients life “is often a difficult time. We know that this room is of great significance to you,” Roberts said, indicating the family. Hallam agreed, telling them that, together,

Perth donates space for women’s monument

Roy Beechey, left, joins Doug Burt, chair of the Dignity House Hospice’s board, in cutting the ribbon to officially unveil the new palliative room at the Perth hospital on Sept. 15. Desmond Devoy/METROLAND

PALLIATIVE Dignity House bows out “This may well be one of the last public events that Dignity House may have,” said Doug Burt, the chair of the house’s board. “We’re winding down.” Some of the ﬁnancial support for the room was provided by the residential hospice fund of Dignity House, which has since been absorbed into Community Home Support Lanark County, and has moved to their ofﬁces on Sunset Boulevard from McMartin House. Before the merger, the Local Health Integration Network “were trying to rationalize palliative care,” said Burt. They recommended that the house “merge with other people in the area,” which they recently did. “We’re turning over fund we’ve raised over the years,” said Doug. “We’re happy those funds (were kept) separate.” Once they heard word about the palliative care room at the Perth hospital, “we jumped at that. It respects the wishes of the donors… We hope that there

are more rooms like this in the hospital.” The group had estimated that it would take between $500,000 and $600,000 of an initial fundraising effort to get a hospice built for this area, with $150,000 needing to be raised annually to keep the hospice going. “There are so many good programs in Perth competing for the same dollar,” said Burt. While the provincial government is moving to get patients who do not need to be in hospitals either back home, in long-term care facilities or retirement homes, the fact remains that, “a lot of good people can’t look after their loved ones in the last two, three weeks.” On a more emotional level, for those already starting the grieving process, even before their loved one dies, having a room like this, gives family members who will be remaining in this world a chance to “talk about all of those things they should have talked about 10 years ago,” he said. This room, he said, looking around, can give “a happy ending, as happy as it can be,” under the circumstances.

Marble pieces to represent each woman who has been murdered by violence in Lanark County in the past 20 years. One stone will be placed for all women. This includes survivors and those who have been murdered in past years that have not been acknowledged publicly. With grants from the Town of Perth and the REAL Deal in Smiths Falls, a tree will be planted on the site and a plaque will be incorporated on the podium that outlines the purpose of the site. The statement of the plaque was created using the voices of female survivors from across the county. By using input for the statement, survivors that are not a member of the committee have been able to contribute to the project. With great support, Don Hanam of ‘Custom Stonework’ has been working closely with the committee to design a vision for the site while also successfully seeking out donations of stone. Volunteer Masonry student Ben Hendry and others will be supporting construction of the site. All parties have contributed ideas for the ﬁnal design of the site with the intention of starting the project in within the season. Submitted by the Lanark County’s Sexual Assault/Domestic Violence Advisory Committee.

Members of the public may choose gather in solidarity to show respect for women murdered in Lanark County. Discussions and awareness on the topic may educate groups on the affects of abuse/violence and how it touches the lives of so many individuals in our community. Just as importantly, the monument will offer a ﬁrm message to survivors that they are not alone and that they are valued and supported. During the process of raising funds, working with artists, other coordination of the project, Lanark County Interval House has shown great support and encouragement through the process thus far. Generous donations from local businesses and organizations have displayed how as a community, we can work together to raise awareness on violence against women. Many have already contributed to this project. Limestone for a bench has been donated by Kiwi Landscaping while stone for a podium has been donated by Tackaberry Sand & Stone Ltd & Algonquin College.

Lanark County will soon have a new, quiet space in which to reﬂect and ﬁnd peace thanks to the efforts of a small group of dedicated women. The Town of Perth has donated a space to allow the Women’s Monument sub-committee of Lanark County’s Sexual Assault/Domestic Violence Advisory Committee to move forward with creating a stone monument to honour female survivors and victims of violence. Being a charity that consists solely of female survivors, all members have contributed towards the many stages of this project. As survivors from all different walks of life, these women have joined forces with like-minded, strong women to show that voices will be heard regarding the topic of ending violence against women. In 2013, over 2, 700 services were accessed by local women and children through Lanark County Interval House. Although this high amount of services accessed states the presence of violence in Lanark County, women who did not seek support are not included in this sum. With numbers only increasing, the time to step up as a community and end abuse is now. Violence against women is not only a challenge that affects the women directly, but family, friends, and

Ontario Provincial Police officers from the Lanark County Detachment continue to investigate the theft and recovery of refrigerated delivery truck and its load of ice cream products Sept. 17. The truck was parked in the lot of Donaldson’s Shell Gas Station at the south end of the Town of Perth while the driver made deliveries to the business. At 9:28 a.m. the driver called 911 to report he had just seen his truck stolen. Officers responding to the call and searching the area and local roads, found the truck traveling on Wilson Street West, Perth. The vehicle eventually stopped at a

quarry (“pit”) east of Perth on Highway 7. A 24-year-old female from Rideau Lakes Township is charged with one count each of motor vehicle theft, flight while pursued by police, possession of property worth more than $5,000 obtained by crime, and failing to comply with conditions of an undertaking. All the offences are contrary to the Criminal Code of Canada. The female appeared for a bail hearing. Anyone having any information regarding this offence is asked to contact the Crime Unit of the Lanark County Detachment using the OPP toll free number 1-888-310-1122 or the confidential TIPS line of Lanark County Crime Stoppers, 1-800-222-8477.

The event raised about $1,000 more this year, which McMunn attributes to the fact that the day was dedicated to McNally, who has deep roots in the community. “Everybody had a story of their own,” she said. “It was a rewarding and emotional day.” McMunn said they were most thankful for those who donated prizes for the silent auction as “they were all so generous.” As well, she was appreciative for the donated food from local grocery stores. “We could hardly keep up with the barbecue,” she said. Already McMunn said they are looking at next year’s event. Plans include reaching out to nearby communities where Terry Fox runs were held in the past – like Smiths Falls, Carleton Place and Lanark – and enticing those volunteers to join Kelly Kent/METROLAND forces in Perth. “We’d like to make it bigger and better next Cancer survivor Megan McLenaghan smiles before the run year than ever,” McMunn said. “And we’re with husband Luke and kids Sianna and Reid. looking at some other fun things to do.”

TERRY FOX

NDP’s Margaret Andrade aims to strengthen her riding in multiple ways While health care is a provincial matter, Andrade said she is passionate about the need for the federal government to increase its transfer payments to the province. Three years ago she battled cancer and was required to wait five months before she could have surgery to remove the disease form her body. The wait was extremely difficult to bear. “I found that really, really offensive. I don’t want anybody to be going through that,” Andrade said. The Brockville resident has been active in politics for much of her life. For 30 of those years she identified as a Liberal, but recently changed her colours after doing her own research on what each of the political parties were offering. Submitted photo Andrade has met many people like

Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

Editor’s Note: This is the second of our profile coverage on candidates running for the MP position for the LeedsGrenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes riding that we will publish over the coming weeks. Creating a strong community is no easy task, but it’s one that Leeds-Grenville 1000 Islands and Rideau Lakes NDP candidate, Margaret Andrade said she feels the NDP party can do best. Her first priority will be to support small- and medium-sized businesses so they are in a position to add to their staff. She supports Tom Mulcair’s plan to decrease the tax rate for these businesses to nine per cent, while increasing taxes for big business. “You can’t afford anything if you don’t have a job,” Andrade said. “It’s time to work for the normal every day person.” Part of this would be increasing the employment insurance percentage to 66 per cent She said she agrees with the majority that manufacturing isn’t returning to the area the way it once was, but sees great opportunity for the area to attract research and development companies by promoting the blend of quality of life and affordable development lands. “Canadian innovation has not been encouraged for 10 years and I think it’s time we do it again,” Andrade added. “It just goes through every sector of our economy.” Providing meaningful work for the region’s adult population will once again make available part-time work for its youth who are struggling to find jobs in an environment where adults are working two and three jobs to make ends meet. Andrade is equally passionate about bringing the appropriate support to her farming constituents. “We will do everything we can to continue to create an environment where good quality fresh Canadian food is produced for Canadians. We have to protect our food supply,” Andrade said. Specifically, she is supporting the NDP’s plan to make it easier for families to succession plan on the farm. They are also pledging to protect the supply management system in future trade agreements. Supporting the farming community means creating an environment where farming is profitable. Andrade said she feels strongly that her riding needs to have a regional food hub created. Like the Food Hub in Smiths Falls, this facility would provide offer industrial kitchen facilities where farmers can bring their harvest and have it made into value-added products that can be sold in stores. “We need fresh thinking,” Andrade added. “We have to work together.” Working together can be done in any field, including the creative economy where the region’s artists can be found. Andrade said she is excited to have received positive feedback to her idea of

Leeds-Grenville-1,000 Islands and Rideau Lakes New Democratic Party candidate Margaret Andrade. creating an Artisan’s Trail through the riding. This mapped out trail would guide drivers to various artist studios and farms where they can see professionals at work, ask questions and purchase products on site. Branding the region as an artisan experience will improve tourism and assist farms and artists in moving their products without leaving home. A balanced budget The NDP platform, which was struck in 2013, provides supports to virtually every age group of our society, but insists it will present a balanced budget to Canadians. The secret, as Andrade explained it, is to spend only what you have and spend it wisely. “It’s a matter of taking funds that are not effective for Canadians and redirecting them so all Canadians benefit,” she said, and added there’s “so much waste in the current government that it’s unbelievable.” By doing this the NDP plan to introduce a cap to daycare expenses across

Canada. Mulcair’s plan includes capping the daily fee at $15 and creating one million childcare spaces for parents struggling to find quality care so they can be contributing members of the nation’s economy. Andrade said she decided to stay home and raise her kids because the price of day care didn’t leave her with enough to make the challenge of balancing work and home life worth it. She wants to fight for families to have a real choice by implementing the price cap for day care. “We can be fiscally responsible but you can be socially responsible at the same time,” Andrade added. “We need to start taking care of each other again. We leave nobody behind.” This includes our senior residents. Mulcair is pledging to lift 200,000 seniors out of poverty by increasing the Government Insurance Supplement (GIS). Andrade also highlighted the fact that the call to do away with income splitting will not impact senior couples.

herself over the last three months of the campaign who have consciously changed their political stripes this election to reflect their own values. “I’m just giggling because it’s just great,” Andrade said. She reminds voters that this riding hasn’t always been painted in blue. According to Andrade, it has voted in Conservatives for the last decade, but was consistently Liberal the decade before. Andrade feels good that this election will be one that the NDP moves from its previous position in second place to the top of the pack.

Tea celebrates Queen Elizbeth’s long reign

The Connections program (part of Lanark Renfrew Health and Community Services) and Children’s Resources on Wheels (CROW) are proud to announce presentations by Dr. Sian (pronounced Sea-Ann) Phillips. Phillips will be presenting two seminars one for parents and one for professionals at the Gallipeau Centre in Smiths Falls on Oct. 7. The presentations are Engaging Children and Families to Help Build Positive Relationships and Engaging with Children: How to parent with purpose. Phillips is a certiﬁed Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) psychologist, consultant, and trainer in private practice in Kingston. Dyadic means ‘something about two people’. This word was used because this therapy helps peo-

ple with their relationships with other people. She uses the PACE method (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity and Empathy). PACE is a way of thinking, feeling, communicating and behaving that aims to make the child feel understood, conﬁdent, and secure. It is based upon how parents connect with their children. She consults with local agencies helping them develop more attachment focused perspectives and treatment. She is an adjunct professor at Queens University, providing clinical placements for students who wish to study trauma and attachment issues. The ﬁrst presentation for professionals with Phillips: Engaging Children and Families to Help Build Positive Relationships, on Wednesday, Oct. 7 at 12:30 p.m. She will present ways

accountability and transparency,” to the CAS system. “There is no accountability, no oversight.” Part of the reason for this, as he sees it, is that the CAS system is different here than almost anywhere else in the country. “They are private corporations,” Beck said. “Everybody thinks of them as being part of the court (system)… (but) they are a non-profit organization, not unlike the Girl Guides or Boy Scouts.” Hogan was aware of Beck’s meeting that night, and his decades of agitation against the CAS’s across Ontario, and he actually agreed with Beck on his first point: “Yes, we are a private corporation… we are a non-profit, private corporation. We are funded by the government,” Hogan said. “While we are private corporations, we have regulations, and standards. We contract with the ministry.” Some provinces, like Manitoba, provide children’s services through their respective ministries. In fact, the Prairie government has been under fire for the placement of First Nations children in its care into motels. For parents who have been the subject of a CAS investigation, the process can be intimidating. “Everybody thinks they are all powerful. But they have no more power than you or I,” said Beck. CAS has “no legal authority to question or detain,” or go into people’s homes. R0013472252_0924

Vernon Beck

Allan Hogan

For Hogan, bringing the police along on a CAS call is a last resort, as he prefers to “get support within the community,” to deal with the situation before involving the police at the investigation stage. While they do have a “duty to report,” if they suspect child abuse or neglect, “we can’t walk away from a family that has been referred to us. We will do everything we can to gain that trust… We don’t like bringing the police in unless we don’t see any other way in.” Hogan also contends that there is far more oversight and regulation going on than Beck may see. “It’s not like we can go in and apprehend and no one can look at our work,” said Hogan. For example, within five calendar days of a child being taken by CAS, the matter has to appear in court.

“The court serves as a powerful part of that oversight,” Hogan said. “We can (also) ask for a children’s lawyer.” Hogan’s CAS also has to contend with a program supervisor, based in Kingston, and, as part of their contract with the province, they have a certain “accountability with the province.” On Tuesday, Sept. 22, the CAS was having its annual general meeting, and a notice had gone out for members and to elect board members. “We solicit the community when there are vacancies on the board,” Hogan said, providing another set of eyes and ears on the CAS activities. “We get our annual performance review from the Ministry of Children and Youth Services.” The CAS also had a foster care and Crown ward review too. Another point of contention for Beck was the allegation that “they (CAS) will

Join Legion

go into a school (and) secretly interrogate a child.” Because “everybody thinks they are all powerful,” when a CAS worker shows up at a school, the principal and staff believes that they “have to do as they are told,” by the CAS worker. “They haven’t got the foggiest idea of our rights and freedoms.” Further to this, once the child is brought from their classroom, “the teacher is asked to leave.” Asked if CAS workers do indeed meet privately with students, Hogan replied, “we do,” when appropriate, but they almost always let the school know that they are coming beforehand. In fact, very often, it is the school itself that has contacted the CAS about concerns over a child. “The school needs to know why we are there. There would be notification that we would be there,” said Hogan. A teacher can be present, or a worker helping the child. “We would want that person to facilitate the child talking.” But just by the CAS showing up at the school, Beck countered that that “labels them and their parents as bad.” Beck also alleged he had heard of incidents where the CAS had advised a principal not to release children back to their parents. But Hogan responds that “once we apprehend, then the focus is on the organization… to work whatever plans are necessary for the safety of the child. The agency can act and respond when there is imminent risk to the child. We don’t need a court order to do that. We

could identify to the school that we have apprehended this child.” Beck himself went through a divorce about 20 years ago in which his local CAS became involved. “The Children’s Aid Society screwed up,” he said, calling it an “abuse of power and authority. Some of it is due to arrogance. (But) a lot of kids are getting messed up.” Beck said he gets between three and four calls per week, and, 20 years ago, before he got to know CAS as a parent under investigation, “I would’ve never believed it,” then, what he is saying about them now. One of the key components of any CAS investigation involves a visit to the child’s home. The CAS showed this newspaper a step-by-step system used “in the family-based investigation.” It tells workers to conduct “direct observation of the child’s living situation – if information is obtained that the child’s living conditions are hazardous and/or that is suggestive of neglect, the entire home is seen and in particular the child’s sleeping area.” Not allowing a CAS worker access to one’s home will not end an investigation either, Hogan added. But Beck alleged that these visits are really CAS workers “on a fishing expedition.” “We need to keep families together, wherever possible,” Beck said, who further charged that “parental conflict See CAS page P7

(is being used) as a reason to take away a child from a parent.” Hogan said there are certain avenues parents can take if they feel their case has not been handled properly by the CAS. The Child and Family Services Review Board can, according to their website, “conduct reviews and hearings on a number of matters that affect children, youth, and families in Ontario,” including, “a children’s aid society’s decision to remove a foster child… from a foster home,” if the child has lived there for more than two years, and “certain complaints related to services provided by children’s aid societies.” There is also the Office of the Provincial Advocate for Children and Youth, described online as “an independent voice for Ontario’s children and youth who are either ‘in care’ or on the margins of government care.” Even at this, however, Beck said young people looking to take matters into their own legal hands are being stymied. “I’ve got kids who go over to the courts (and) lawyers will not sign their affidavits,” Beck charged. He understands the law to be that if the youngster is “old enough to understand an affidavit,” and what it is, then, a lawyer “can sign it.” Beck often records his own interviews with children who have been in CAS care, and has helped teenagers compile affidavits that can be as long as 30 pages. As any driver who has ever received a speeding ticket has heard from his or her friends who have also received one, there is always the belief that the police have a quota of traffic tickets they need to meet each month. Beck believes it is the same with the CAS; that they need to have a certain number of open files in order to maintain their funding.

“If they want to keep their jobs, they need to intrude into people’s lives,” Beck said. “Small problems are being blown out of proportion.” At this, Hogan stated, three times in fact, that “there is no quota” at his CAS. “We base our involvement on the eligibility spectrum, not on funding,” Hogan said. “The pot (of money) does not change. We’re no different than any other sector. What we’ve got is what we’ve got. What’s there is there. By Beck’s calculations, only about two per cent of CAS workers are registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers, as required by the Social Work and Social Service Work Act of 1998. To this, Hogan contends that “if we were to present ourselves as social workers, we need to register with the college.” But registration is voluntary, and since his workers do not present themselves as social workers, “are we required to be registered? No, we are not.” There is a training system that is set up for CAS workers, but, unlike social work, it is not offered through universities or community colleges. “It is offered within the sector,” said Hogan, specifically, the Ontario Association of Children’s Aid Societies, in collaboration with the provincial government. “It’s very different work than any other type of social service,” said Hogan. “It’s difficult, complex work… It is draining.” At the end of the interview, Hogan said he wanted to reiterate that “my hope would be that if people have concerns… that they follow through with the complaint pamphlet” that is handed to parents during the process. Hogan even extended an olive branch to Beck, pointing out that the two men actually share common ground: “Keeping children safe. That’s the common thread” between their two groups. The only difference is in agreeing on execution.

Despite the overcast skies and threats of rain, nothing could dampen the spirits of the enthusiastic crowd that packed EcoTay Centre on Saturday afternoon to mark the kick-off of Tay Valley’s 200th Anniversary celebrations and launch of At Home in Tay Valley. The opening ceremonies were led by Lanark County Warden, and Reeve for Tay Valley Township, Keith Kerr, who officially declared the launch of the 200th Anniversary and introduced Her Honour, Elizabeth Dowdeswell, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, representing Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in Ontario. Her Honour congratulated the “comprehensive community efforts of everyone who took the time to collect stories, do interviews, and explore all the research for this wonderful book, At Home in Tay Valley.” At Home in Tay Valley editor, Kay Rogers, commented that the book was “the result of a writing bee, an interviewing bee, a photography bee, and a behind-the-scenes supporting bee … if everyone who contributed to At Home in Tay Valley could be here today, there would be well over 60 people on the rafters – a terrific demonstration of community collaboration.” “I’m excited to inform you that the net proceeds from the sale of At Home in Tay Valley will be directed to an annual history scholarship for a student graduating from either the Perth and District Collegiate

Nerves of steel(ish)

life lesson I have learned but seem destined to repeat is this: Anticipation is the hardest part. I think part of the problem is my active imagination. Once upon a time I wrote a lot of fiction, and I think because I don’t do that as much as I used to my brain has to find new outlets in order to compensate. As such, it finds ridiculous things to worry about. I’m better than I used to be. A big turning point came when I took part in the Polar Bear Plunge in 2009 on behalf of the Friends of Murphys Point Park. I was a bit (a bit!) wound up before that event. I was fairly certain I would die by plunging into freezing Tay River. Because I was the president of the organization at the time, though, I had a strong sense of duty to the cause. So I got a grip. After I did it (I did it!) and emerged quite unscathed, I realized the worst part of the whole thing was the anticipation of it. Jumping was darned cold, but it really wasn’t such a bad thing. And I didn’t die. I might even do it again sometime. You know how you hear stories about women who have babies (omigod...is she going to talk about child birth?) and they go through labour and all of that yelling and come out the other side saying, “I’d do that again”? I totally didn’t buy that hype at first. I read the books and watched the video and there was just a wee bit of anxiety around it when it was my turn. It all worked out in the end, and I became one of those women who called it “magical” and Boychild eventually got a sibling because the brain magically forgets some things. I tried to remind myself of these examples last week as the day of my very first karate tournament loomed. Regular readers may recall I literally stumbled out of my comfort zone in July and Girlchild and I decided to take up karate. It was kind of a big deal since I’m not into group sports (okay...any sports) and am disconcertingly uncoordinated. When we joined, the senseis kept referring to a tournament coming up in September. It seemed really far away and kind of like a bad dream. One of the voices in my head said, “Oh...you can just watch this time.”

Past Deadline

Stephanie Gray

Another voice said, “But that’s all you’ve ever done when it comes to sporty stuff, moron. Step up.” (Sometimes the voices are harsh.) I’m not afraid to put myself out there when it comes to things like teaching or making presentations or chairing meetings, but ask me to get my body to do something in a coordinated way and it’s a different story. So, as the tournament date got closer and it became clear students in the club were kind of sort of deﬁnitely expected to take part, I took a deep breath and signed up to do an individual kata. Then I hoped that, somehow, in the few weeks before the tournament things would magically start to sink in and I would somehow pull it off. (Alakazam!) The senseis worked hard to help prepare us. In addition to learning the moves, they taught us what to say to the judges. It’s funny how I can teach a communications class for two hours, yet stumble when practising the three sentences we need to say when presenting our kata. (Probably because I don’t usually break into a series of karate set-ups when teaching communications. Usually.) I did my best to prepare. There was a lot of kata practice happening in the living room. It always went a lot better there than the kata I did in front of the class at the dojo. Tournament day dawned and I was as ready as I was going to be. When my gut twinged a little I remembered the polar bear plunge and how I totally didn’t die that day. Not even close. I told nervousness to go home, and it mostly did. You know, usually all of the things you imagine could possibly go wrong simply don’t. Almost always, the things that seem the scariest to do also turn out to be the best. I did my kata. It was fun. I remembered to breathe and I totally didn’t die. I might even do it again.

Enjoying the changing of seasons

ver take a road tour through this area in the fall? It’s the most wonderful time of the year – to me, anyway. It beats the heat of summer, and the chill of winter and the dampness of spring. Fall brings about changes. The colours are spectacular and we’re lucky enough to live among those beautiful maples with those hanging canopies of colour that are truly unique. Soon, I will be heading out on a vacation and won’t be in the ofﬁce for a three weeks. My guy and I are taking a bit of a road tour and I’ll be sure and catch the brilliant colours of fall from a number of spots along our route – wherever that may take us. But the fall is not just about the changing of the leaves or road tours extraordinaire. It’s about the changing of... sports! If you’re a sports fan (seriously, who isn’t?) there is an abundance of super sports happening all around us. Football, volleyball and basketball at the high schools, BASEBALL! (Go

LAURIE WEIR Weir View Blue Jays, Go!), and Canada’s favourite – hockey. Local arenas have some of the best up-and-comers on skates. The Smiths Falls Bears, and the Perth Blue Wings are going to be contenders this year and you won’t want to miss a minute of action. Their home games are normally Friday nights – what’s not to love about that? Perth currently sits on top of their division, while Smiths Falls is just two back of the leaders at this early stage of the game. This year, I will be excited to watch a super star in the making in my family. My young niece, Sophie, who is five, has donned the hockey skates for the first time. Her dad (my bro) and his wife have enrolled her into the game for the first time. I swallowed a lump

of pride when I saw photos of her in her giant jersey, sporting a hockey stick in a menacing way. The highlight of that outfit was her bright pink and dearly loved Crocks. She told her mother that she didn’t like hockey as she spent way too much time on her butt. That girl has patience and perseverance… she doesn’t get that from her aunt, as I have none. She didn’t get her love of playing hockey from her father, either. When Mom and Dad suited him up to play in the old barn in Smiths Falls at about Sophie’s age, he cried. He wanted no part of it. Brother was more into the music scene. As for sports, he was a golfer and he tried to play fastball. I say “tried” as he would never compare to big sister on that field. Ha!

MH 370 mystery may leave legacy of improved airplane tracking desmond.devoy@metroland.com

So just what exactly happened to MH 370? “If we knew that answer, we’d know exactly where to look!” replied Greg Holbrook, a pilot and former inspector with Transport Canada. Holbrook, along with colleague Dwayne Price, manager, field operations, information management, at NavCan, had just concluded a presentation on the history of air navigation at the Probus Club of Perth’s monthly meeting at the Royal Canadian Legion hall on Wednesday, Sept. 2. Holbrook continued that while what

of a social life than I do. During the summer, Mom had a copy of Sophie’s schedule. Light red days were for visits with her one set of grandparents; dark red was with Grandma W; yellow was gymnastics; purple was at day care; blue was soccer; green was family day(s); orange… well you get the picture. Each coloured square had a time slot, and there was a legend of phone numbers. Holy guacamole – and ask that child where she was supposed to be on any given day of the week, and she’d tell you without a moment’s hesitation.

exactly happened to the flight remains a mystery, “all of these systems work on cooperation. They either failed or were turned off so the navigation went away.” While pieces of wreckage from the flight, presumed to have crashed in the Indian Ocean, have washed up on the shores of Reunion Island, a French territory, Holbrook said that some good may have come out of this tragedy, which took the lives of 239 people sometime after it disappeared off of radar screens on March 8, 2014. “That accident has put a greater push for satellite trafficking of all commercial aircraft,” said Holbrook, which could

I love that her parents are willing to accommodate our wee girl who wants to try new things. Sophie is getting a great start to organized sports, and she loves school. She is a kind child; she adores her parents, her “bad dog,” Cooper, and her extended family.

lead to the creation of “a system of global satellite tracking systems (which) will track all air-borne aircraft. Hopefully, the fix is already there.” He added that, hopefully, “eventually, we will find something.” (The two men took pains to make clear to the audience that they were not speaking on behalf of their employers, past or present.) The men were also asked about whether terrorists could hack into an airplane’s operating system and hijack it remotely. Holbrook dismissed this, since those systems are “not connected to the Internet.” However, he did concede that there was always room for improvement. For example, on 9/11, the Global Positioning System went down. “It was a tremendous learning opportunity,” said Price. Because of the potential for oncein-a-lifetime disasters like 9/11, “most countries will retain some manner of ground-based navigation systems.” Similar air tragedies in the past have led to technological improvements to make the airways safer. On Sept. 1, 1983, Korean Air Lines flight 007 was flying to Seoul, South Korea, having left Anchorage, Alaska, for a fuelling stop. Somewhere near the Kamchatka Peninsula on Russia’s Pacific coast, Soviet fighter jets shot down the civilian aircraft, killing all 269 people on board.

“skill of dead-reckoning” was developed, using a type of eye-glass pointing down towards the earth’s surface – the lens of which looked like a big roulette wheel – which used time, direction, and speed calculations to determine how far they had traveled, where they were, and if they were on course. Only 11 years after the Wright Brothers took to the skies, with their plane powered by a combustion engine, planes were used in a major way in the First World War, first for observation, then for actual fighting, either with bombings or dog fights. By the time peace arrived, with so many surplus airplanes around, some were put into active air mail duty in the United States. The first air mail delivery route, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, was set up some 60 years after the pony express had closed. Back in 1920, “pilots needed to eyeball their way across the USA,” said Price. In the beginning, bonfires would be lit on the ground to light the pilot’s way, as part of a civilian navigation system. These were eventually replaced by beacons every 10 miles, all the way from New York City to San Francisco. One of the, literally, outstanding features of these beacon sites was a bright yellow arrow painted on the ground, visible from the air, pointing the correct way. While the technology has grown more advanced, Holbrook said “the mathematics necessary to navigate has not changed.”

brook, “the most likely scenario was a data entry error by the crew in Anchorage” was made. “It took them into Russian air space and they were shot down.” As a result, “you want something that updates and corrects itself,” he said. A new system, ADS B was developed and is “automatic. It requires no pilot input. The situational awareness is amazing,” said Price. History of air navigation That planes carrying hundreds of passengers can slice through the skies thousands of times a day, making their way halfway around the world, as the world’s safest form of travel, would once have seemed the work plucked straight from the minds of the most creative science fiction writers in the Victorian age. But “air navigation did not start with the Wright Brothers,” at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, in December of 1903, said Holbrook. In the very early days of balloon travel, aviators would use roads, rivers, railways, and other land markers visible from the air, for navigation. This required a clear view, so, night flying and flying in poor visibility, was a nonstarter. In time, the so-called German Hindenburgs began giving Atlantic ocean liners a run for their money, pioneering airmail service between North America and Europe. Now that they were carrying passengers and cargo, “the need to accurately navigate became essential,” said Price. On the German airships, the

Only women 55 years or older can participate in the Victoria ride, whereas the Ride to Turn the Tide is open to both genders of any age. “This is the sixth year I’ve been riding,” said Ormerod. Her husband was born in Africa and they both worked there, until leaving in the 1970s. “We went back in the ’90s and saw the Aids pandemic ﬁrsthand,” said Ormerod. “This is a cause that’s near and dear to our hearts.” To donate to the Ride to Turn the Tide, visit www.grassrootgrannies.com.

The Grassroot Grannies Ride to Turn the Tide can’t be categorized as a fundraiser – it is so much more than that. Inspirational. Enlightening. Courageous. As of Sept. 10, the Grannies had raised roughly $53,000 for the Stephen Lewis Foundation (SLF). Since the Ride to Turn the Tide’s inception six years ago, the Grannies have raised over $200,000 for the foundation. There were 23 riders who took part in this years’ ride and four support people, who drove two vans to assist the riders. “There are about 10 grannies in the ride this year,” said Sue Cousineau, one of the founding members of Grassroot Grannies. “We also have some younger riders and a few men. “This is our 35th year riding together,” said Cousineau of herself and the other founders of the group, which started out as group of women who cycled together in Kanata.

She explained the SLF was founded following its namesake’s envoy for HIV in Africa. “He lived in Africa and when he came back, he said he couldn’t just walk away without doing something about it,” said Cousineau. She explained HIV and Aids devastates African communities. “The grandmothers are left with the children,” said Cousineau. “The middle generation was affected by HIV and aids. The mothers die and the children are left. At our age, to go back and parent is a real challenge. It’s a devastating scene.” She explained conditions are improving with the anti-viral drugs to help treat HIV, preventing it from turning into Aids, which is a death sentence. “We are starting to see progress,” said Cousineau. “Many people are still contracting HIV, but there’s a big push for education.” She explained this is the 10th year of the Granny Movement, which has seen grandmother groups band together to fundraise

John Inglis, councillor for Ward 3, said, “In an area with the natural beauty of North Frontenac, trails not only enhance the outdoor life of residents, but make the area attractive to visitors as a weekend and vacation destination. As such, trails offer a potential contribution to the local economy.” The trails are colour coded with line of sight markings making it easy to reach either of the two summits the Lakeview and Vista Lookouts. Maps along the way make navigation very convenient. The trails start from the dam between Palmerston and Canonto Lakes being approximately 4.5 km down the Canonto Road from Highway 509. “When the community and the municipality work together, sharing

On Tuesday evening Oct. 13, the Perth & District Horticultural Society welcomes speaker Lana Taylor-Mills to our public meeting when she will share her passion for peonies. Treasured by gardeners of all types, peonies can be depended upon to offer up dreamy early summer displays of large fragrant blooms year after year, decade after decade. Stunning photographs of these iconic garden plants highlight this informative presentation on Peony Choice, planting and care. Lana and her husband Gordon Mills are owners of Peonies from the Field (www.PeoniesFromTheField.com). As growers of over 300 varieties of herbaceous peonies at their nursery in Morganston, they take orders year round online and from the nursery during bloom time. The bare roots are shipped in the fall to customers across Canada and the northern United States. Please join us for this event Tuesday, Oct. 13 at St. Paul’s United Church, 25 Gore Street West at D’Arcy. Please only use the D’Arcy Street entrance to the church. Also note that food and beverages will be available starting from 7 p.m., with the meeting beginning at 7:30 p.m. So plan to come a few minutes earlier to chat and enjoy the refreshments. Everyone is welcome. Note that membership in the Society entitles you to discounts at local nurseries and garden centres and is only $10 per year; visitors pay $3. We look forward to seeing you there! Submitted by Perth and District Horticultural Society

in not only deciding what needs to be done, but also in the actual doing of the work, it is amazing how we can together make the community better,” according to Bruce Moore, who coordinated the effort. Moore reported that “24 volunteers contributed 194 hours toward putting the trails back into good walking and snowshoeing condition. If this had to be paid for the cost may have made this project prohibitive.” Calling this a partnership cannot be understated. The Township of North Frontenac invested signiﬁcant effort in this project from coordination to developing and installing GPS- based coloured map located at the starting points and along each of the trails; to ensuring the amenities, including outhouses were restored. According to Corey Klatt, manager of community development,

“the re-opening of the PalmerstonCanonto Trails network is an example of the spirit of cooperation that makes it possible for a Township, known to have limited resources, to do so much more for itself, its residents and visitors, when we all work together.” Come walk the trails on Saturday, Oct. 3. Walks will begin at the Palmerston-Canonto dam. Drop by between 10 a.m. and noon and one of the volunteers will happily introduce the trails network and set you off for a walk or accompany you if you would like them to join with you, your friends and family. Trail walks will be continuous through this time, so when you get there you will not need to wait – just get walking.

Saturday, Oct. 3 will mark the dedication of the renewed walking trails of the Palmerston Canonto Conservation Area. These seven trails ranging from 300 meters to one kilometer in length have been well trodden by area residents and visitors over generations. As the trees, bushes and grasses grew the trails became more difficult to pass and the disappearance of earlier signage made some people nervous about finding their way. In response, community volunteers and the Township of North Frontenac formed a partnership to not only restore the trails but maintain and monitor the close to five kilometres of paths. Originally established by the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority, the township has undertaken a responsibility for the trails, a responsibility that is considered to have be-

Westport Writers reading lineup announced The Westport Arts Council’s 8th annual Writers Reading at the Westport United Church, features award-winning authors Frances Itani, Eric McCormack, Ken McGoogan, and Alison Pick. The event takes place 1 to 5:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 3. Frances Itani’s 2003 novel, Deafening, was an early success in a muchhonoured international career that has produced 16 books, including novels, poetry, short stories and children’s books. Deafening received a Commonwealth Writer’s Prize for Best Book, and was shortlisted for the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award and the William Saroyan International Award. It subsequently won the Kingston Reads Award, and in 2006 was selected for CBC’s ‘Canada Reads’, both English and French. It has been optioned for ﬁlm and translated into some 17 languages. Remembering the Bones, her second novel, was also an international bestseller, shortlisted for a Commonwealth Writer’s Prize. Her novel Requiem was published in Canada, U.S.A., Bulgaria, Germany and in 2012 was chosen by the Washington Post as one of the top ﬁction titles in the U.S. She is a double winner of the Ottawa Book Awards, and three-time winner of the CBC Literary Award. Her collection Poached Egg on Toast won the 2005 CAA Jubilee Award for best book of stories published in Canada. Her reviews, stories and essays have appeared in a wide variety of publications across North America. Frances has been Writer-in-Residence at several universities, taught at the Banff Centre, and conducts workshops in Canada and Europe. She has lived in England, USA, Switzerland, Italy, Croatia, Germany, and has travelled extensively. She has a bachelor’s degree from the University of Alberta and a master’s from the University of New Brunswick. She studied nursing at the Montreal General Hospital, did graduate work at McGill University and Duke University, and practised and taught nursing for eight years while beginning to write. She studied with both W.O.Mitchell and Rudy Wiebe. Her latest novel Tell is set in 1919 and is a follow-up to Deafening. Tell was shortlisted for the Scotiabank Giller Prize, and was published in New York in January 2015. Frances is presently working on a new novel, continuing the storyline of Tell. She lives in Ottawa with her husband, Tetsuo (Ted) Itani, a Canadian Red Cross international consultant and volunteer. Historian, novelist and journalist Ken McGoogan is the author of a dozen books, the latest of which, Celtic Lightening, is due out in late September. His four groundbreaking volumes about Arctic exploration: Fatal Passage, Ancient Mariner, Lady Franklin’s Revenge, and Race to the Polar Sea, individually and collectively, received the Writers’ Trust of Canada Biography Prize, the Canadian Authors’ Association History Award, the UBC Medal for Canadian Biography, the Pierre Berton Award for Popular History, the Drainie-Taylor biography prize, and an American Chris-

topher Award for “a work of artistic excellence that affirms the highest values of the human spirit.” He has also written three novels, and the celebrated bestsellers How the Scots Invented Canada and 50 Canadians Who Changed the World. A university teacher and popular lecturer, Ken gives presentations across the length and breadth of Canada, including recently in the high arctic as a lecturer on board Adventure Canada sailing the Northwest Passage and northern coastal waters. Ken holds a bachelor of journalism from Ryerson University in Toronto and a master’s degree in creative writing from the University of British Columbia. Before turning to writing books full time, Ken worked as a journalist for two decades. He teaches in the Continuing Studies program of the University of Toronto and the MFA program at King’s College, Dalhousie University, Halifax. He lives in the Toronto Beaches with his artist-wife, Sheena Fraser McGoogan, with whom he has two adult children. Widely celebrated for his unique imagination, novelist Eric McCormack has been described as “a master stylist” by The New York Times Book Review, and “a spellbinder, an ancient mariner with a glittering eye” by The Globe and Mail. International best-selling author (and Writers Reading participant in 2013) Andrew Pyper has described Eric’s writing as “mysterious and beguiling.” Last year’s release of Cloud, his first novel in ten years, was anxiously awaited by an audience of international fans of his often macabre and quirky novels, including previously The Dutch Wife, First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women, The Mysterium, Paradise Motel, and Inspecting the Vaults. A finalist for the Governor General’s Award for English-language Fiction, the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize, and the People’s Prize for Fiction, Eric turned to full-time writing after retiring from a thirty-year teaching career at the University of Waterloo. Born on the outskirts of Glasgow, Scotland, Eric taught high school there before immigrating to Canada where he received a PhD from the University of Manitoba. From a boyhood in the dark days of WWII, and early exposure to the works of Robert Louis Stevenson, Sir Walter Scott, H. Rider Haggard, and other pioneers of imaginative literature, Eric naturally leans to the enigmatic, the macabre, and the unsettling, in his choice of language and themes. Eric and his wife, Nancy McCormack, a Queen’s University law librarian, have lived in Kinston for ten years. Alison Pick’s 2014 memoir, Between Gods, recounts her discovery of her family’s Jewish roots in pre-WWII Czechoslovakia, and her complicated search for self-identity and love as she struggles with her wish to convert to Judaism. The CBC and the Globe and Mail included Between Gods on their Top Book of the Year list, and it was shortlisted for the BC National Award for Canadian Non-

Fiction. The Toronto Star said “Pick’s writing ability and keen intellect ensure she’s able to navigate such delicate, complex subject matter with compassion and clarity.” U.S. and U.K. editions of Between Gods will be released this fall. Her 2005 novel, The Sweet Edge, was a Globe and Mail Top 100 Book, and was optioned for ﬁlm. Her second novel, Far to Go, was nominated for the prestigious Man Booker Prize; won the Canadian Jewish Book Award; named to both the Globe and Mail and NOW Magazine Top 100 book list for 2010; and also optioned for ﬁlm. Alison received the 2002 Bronwen Wallace Memorial Award for Poetry, and the 2003 National Magazine Po-

? !

etry Award. She holds a BA in Psychology from the University of Guelph and an MPhil from Memorial University in St. John’s. She is currently on the Faculty of the Humber School for Writers, the Banff Centre for the Arts, and the Iceland Writers Retreat. Alison is a judge for the 2015 Scotiabank Giller Prize. She lives in Toronto with her husband, Degan Davis, and their daughter. Tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for seniors and students, including refreshments.

In Europe, Nobody Chides “We Know Where You’re Going” Have you ever heard of UTI (urinary tract infection) Drops? I doubt it, as these natural herbal drops have just recently been imported from Europe to treat troublesome, acute and chronic E Coli urinary tract infection. UTI Drops have been used successfully in Europe for over 20 years and have now been approved by Health Canada. So why are these natural herbs so effective in combating E Coli, the bacteria that’s responsible for most cases of bladder infection Dr. Gifford-Jones (cystitis)? Every year 30 to 50 million North Americans, mostly women, the elderly, and those with compromised immune systems, suffer from cystitis. Few ever forget the first attack of severe pain on urination, fever and the constant rushing to the bathroom, or the chronic worry about the next attack. Then, the sheer terror if blood appears in the urine. Urinary infections can be due to a variety of causes. Some are the result of a fallen bladder due to difficult childbirth which leaves stagnant urine in the bladder. Others result from the ring around the bathtub. Or the shortness of the female urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside) makes it easier for E Coli to enter the bladder. And sexual intercourse is another factor. So how do you prevent friends from chiding, “Ha! We know where you’re going.” One good prevention is to take showers rather than baths. And to urinate following sex. Don’t ignore your Mother’s advice. For years, doctors “poohpoohed” her theory that cranberry juice prevented UTI. But Harvard researchers proved she was right. They discovered that E Coli bacteria have hair-like projections that enable them to stick to the bladder wall, thus allowing them to multiply. Cranberry juice has an anti-sticking factor that prevents this so E Coli are flushed out during urination. Dr. Michael Weisspapir, Medical Director of Eastgate Pharmaceutical, says UTI Drops are more effective than cranberry juice because, in addition to the anti-sticking factor, it has antibacterial and antiseptic properties, and also forms a protective layer on the walls of the urinary tract to prevent further bacterial growth. Weisspapir explains that many remedies have low bioavailability. This means they do not absorb well and a high dose must be used to make them effective. But when the higher dose is required, there’s greater risk of side-effects. Eastgate technology overcomes this problem by a process called “self-emulsifying composition” and “Nano technology”. This technique increases solubility and produces a final extract 200 to 1,000 times smaller than the human red blood cell. This makes UTI Drops highly absorbable so patients receive a low but still effective dose. UTI Drops are also preferable to antibiotics which often kill good bacteria and cause troublesome side-effects such as irritating yeast infections or allergic reactions. Today antibiotics have been so overused to treat recurrent urinary infections that they have become less effective. The recommended dose of UTI Drops is 40 drops diluted in a quarter of a glass of water, mixed well and drunk three times a day. It does not contain dairy products, wheat, gluten, yeast, corn, sugar or artificial colouring or flavouring. It should not be used if you are pregnant or have severe kidney disease. There’s an old saying that, “if you don’t go when you gotta go, by the time you go, you’ve already gone!” UTI Drops should end this problem and fewer people will hear the chiding words, “We know where you’re going!” UTI Drops will also ease the frustration of doctors who have patients returning for recurring urinary infections. The longer I practiced medicine the more I realized that natural remedies were safer than man-made prescription drugs. Every year 100,000 North Americans die from prescription medication. Another 700,000 are admitted to emergency departments for drug complications. Today, it makes sense that this natural herbal remedy, tested by time should be tried before drugs are prescribed. UTI Drops fills this need. Moreover, this remedy fulfills two important rules in medicine. First, do no harm. Second, keep it simple. UTI Drops at the moment are not available in the U.S. R0023465421_0924

Blue Wings clipped by Packers in shootout; tame Lumber Kings on the road Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

The Perth Blue Wings played a hard-fought battle Friday night in CCHL 2 action when they hosted and lost to the Arnprior Packers in a shootout front of 311 fans. But Sunday, they put on a brilliant performance against the Stittsville Rams, winning that game 8-3 and giving the team a boost to the top of the standings at this early stage of the season. Michael McLean, the team’s owner and head coach, said it “feels great to be in first place this early in the year. “We are happy for our players who have been working very hard these past three weeks and have earned their place at the top of the conference. Stittsville is a very strong team - with players who have won a division championship.” Outshooting the packers 49-28, the Blue Wings lost this one in a shootout, after holding the lead well into the third period. After a scoreless first, the Blue Wings got on the board when Lucas Driscoll-McKinnon scored

at 3:51 from Dylan McNamara. McNamara then scored one of his own with help from Danick Genest and Campbell Schoular at the 7:58 mark. Arnprior got one back when Zack Elliott got past Kevan Dumouchel with 11:31 left in the second period. Just under two minutes into the third, McNamara scored his second of the game with help from Driscoll-McKinnon and Genest. The 3-1 lead held up until the 14:56 mark when Liam Poirier closed the gap. “I felt our goaltending, discipline and effort was better than theirs,” McLean noted. “We can NOT beat that team without outworking them and playing smart. You should never give up a 3-1 lead at home in the third period.” The Packers tied the game with 17:20 on the clock as Elliot scored his second of the game. A scoreless overtime period resulted in the exciting shootout finish. Both first shooters were able to score for their respective team. Dallas Farr had the Arnprior See BLUE WINGS page P19

The Perth Blue Wings hosted the Arnrpior Packers in a tough CCHL2 row on Friday night at home, losing 4-3 in a shootout. The Blue Wings are sitting in third place of the Richardson Division with a record of 2-1-1. Stittsville and Westport are just one point ahead in first place. Laurie Weir/ METROLAND

Highlands Hunt fundraiser Oct. 3 helps seniors in the community Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

Fun and adventure await those who are brave enough to conquer the rolling landscape of the Lanark Highlands, all for a good cause. The Van Noppens are hosting their annual Highlands Hunt for the Perth Enrichment Program (PEP) on Saturday, Oct. 3 from 1 to 6 p.m. Drs. Bob and Beth-Anne Van Noppen open the gates of their farm, located at 647 Rosetta Rd. in Lanark, to the masses hoping to enrich their program for seniors living in the community. Last year, the event raised about $3,000. In its inaugural year, they had 60 people take part under sunny skies, and raised $1,500. “We had 120 people last year,” said Bob Van Noppen. “I don’t know how many to expect this year.” Advertising through social media, newspapers and via word of mouth has enticed folks from as far away as Ottawa, as well from local communities, to take part in the scavenger hunt. It takes participants through some 200 acres of Lanark Highlands finest countryside in search of clues, treasures and ultimate prizes at the end of the race. The trick is to find each of the five stations that are hidden in the fencedin, wooded area that is bordered by the Clyde River and roadways. At each station, participants will be asked to take

part in a skill testing challenge and if successful, they will receive an arm ribbon. Collecting all five ribbons and crossing the finish line is the ultimate task. To do so while behind hunted by men and women on horseback – some six to eight volunteers – is the tough part. “There will be about eight people on horses who will be chasing the participants, trying to take their ribbons from them,” said Van Noppen. Those volunteers on horseback will also help direct folks if they get lost. Some people have jumped into the river to evade the horses. That doesn’t work, assured Van Noppen. You can use a compass, a GPS, or phone… but you will probably be most successful just using your own orientation, Van Noppen said. “It’s the orientation aspect to navigating that will help you most,” he said. “So far, we haven’t lost anybody.” All participants will be given a map to use for reference. “We have been planning since last year and have set up even more fun this year,” he said. “ There will also be a children’s hunt for those nine years of age and under, who are accompanied by a parent. These guys are free to take part. For adults, there is a $25 fee for those in groups of four or more, or a $35 fee for individuals. There will be a barbecue for lunch or dinner options (hotdogs and

Prizes are being donated by local business owners who have been generous with their support. To register, you can just do so at the farm on the day of the event. Cheques or cash are welcome, and if you need cash, you can stop in Lanark at the Scotiabank.

said programming and support has increased from just two days a week to five. “There is something going on every day now,” she said. For the senior set, PEP helps those who are living with chronic illnesses to have a more active, meaningful life. “It allows them to be in their home longer,” said Van Noppen. “Depending on their needs, it’s tailored to individuals.” From music and art therapy, to rehabilitation therapy, “the goal is to support Perth Enrichment Program what is weak so they can stay at home The Perth Enrichment Program has longer,” Van Noppen said. increased its numbers significantly since Their client base stems from Perth to it began just a few years ago. Smiths Falls and Merrickville. Executive director Pauline Fitchett The day program has two main func-

tions: to help or maintain the functioning level of the client in a physical, social emotional or cognitive way, and to help provide respite, encouragement and education for family and caregivers of those participants. Falls prevention classes, social therapy, and even community luncheons are also offered. One day a week is even designated for those suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Fundraising efforts like the golf tournament in the summer and this upcoming Highlands Hunt helps offset the cost of programming for the clients. “We have an option for businesses now if they would like to sponsor a client,” Fitchett said. They are hoping to appeal to the human side of fundraising by putting a face to the sponsorship. “There could be connections to the client by the businesses or vice versa, said Van Noppen. They’re hoping this type of sponsorship takes off. “We have capacity for 12 people per day,” Fitchett said. “Right now we’re operating at about 80 per cent.” Transportation is available for those who require it. The program was provided with transportation from Town and Country Chrysler for this particular need. For more information, please call the office at 613-201-7172, or visit www.morepep.ca

goal and Genest responded positively for the Blue Wings. The Packers needed number-six shooter, Elliot, to complete the win for the visitors. “We had 50+ shots but many were right at their goaltender,” McLean said. “We needed more trafﬁc in front of the net. It was a frustrating shootout loss.” The Blue Wings were hit with 14 minutes in penalties on three infractions. The Packers were whistled for six infractions for 20 minutes in the sin bin.

Perth 8 Stittsville 3 It was a big 8-3 in in Stittsville on Sunday, as the team “showed plenty of character and determination,” McLean said. “I like the way our guys bounced back Sunday.” Stittsville held a 2-1 lead after the first period with Anthony Scattolon scoring the Blue Wings only marker which was sandwiched by Stittsville’s Ryan DiMillo and Troy Hass, who each scored in the frame. In the second, Perth put on the gas and scored four unanswered goals by Genest and Labrosse, both on the power play, then Alexandre Ferraton and Labrosse closed up the period with two more as the Blue Wings then held a 5-2 lead. In the third, Dylan McNamara scored one on the power play with 4:19 showing, but DiMillo had his second of the game with his goal at 5:44. Perth put it away with an empty natter from DeriscollMcKinnon at 19:16 then Jakab Erwin backed that one up with his goal just 36 seconds later for the 8-3 final. Perth outshot the Rams 51-41 and credit goes to Johnathan Peacock, who picked up the win, turning away 39 shots. We feel very confident in both goaltenders,” McLean said. “Peacock has been outstanding. Dumouchel is a proven winner.” The coach noted that outworking teams is “critical for us… also team discipline staying out of the penalty box.” McLean said they despite lots of work to do, the team has had a good start to the season. Next up, the Blue Wings host Char-Lan Rebels on Friday night, 7:30 p.m. and on Sunday, the team is on the road to take on the Clarence Beavers in a 2:15 match up.

In partnership with

Teens in Canada are stressed, Kids Help Phone national survey finds New insights about teens in Canada from Kids Help Phone’s landmark survey Teens Talk: A Report on Youth Issues learned that 42 per cent of teens are stressed, and the number increases to 50 per cent among older teens (age 18). “For over 25 years, Kids Help Phone has directly supported young people through our phone and online counselling services. We know their needs have evolved and we need to

continuously adapt,” said Sharon Wood, president and CEO, Kids Help Phone. “For the first time, we surveyed teens in Canada directly to hear what’s on their mind. The insight we gained will help us better serve young people and to shape the public dialogue on help seeking.” As a leading charity dedicated to young people, Kids Help Phone conducted the survey with two goals: to broaden and build on its understand-

ing of teens across the country and not just teens who contact Kids Help Phone, and to share the learning with parents, educators and other youthserving organizations to better support the young people in their lives. More than 1,300 teens age 13 to 18 were surveyed across Canada. Aside from getting good grades at school, which is the number one cause of stress for teens (49 per cent), the results showed some

significant trends: Close to 30 per cent of teens are concerned about physical and emotional bullying. The issue is a vicious cycle; those that are bullied have a 50 per cent chance of bullying as well. Body image concerns affect more girls than boys. A third of 18-yearold girls say they have body image issues. The need to discuss their concerns is critical. Young people who said

they did not have someone to talk to are also 200 per cent more likely to be victims of violence at home, have suicidal thoughts and experience emotional differences. Peer support is critical among teens. Fifty-five per cent share with their best friends when they are ready to talk. Other findings include concerns See STRESS page 43

where they can find it,” said Wood. “Twenty per cent of the respondents express concern that they have no one to confide in. With 2.25 million teens in Canada, some 450,000 may be in need of counselling. Parents, educators and youth service providers can all help by checking in regularly with the young people in their lives and let them know help is always available.”

In May 2015, Kids Help Phone surveyed 1,330 teens from across the country between the ages of 13 to 18. The respondents were recruited using online opt-in panels where they filled census proportional quotas for province of residence, age, gender and language.

Fixing lunches can be a family affair. The more involved the children are in choosing and making lunches, the more likely they will be to eat them. Try to give them several healthy options to choose from and, as you well know, they will be watching to see what you put in your lunch bag. You are their greatest influence. Allow children to help by putting snacks into containers, stuffing pitas, or stacking sandwiches. They will start to learn food skills that will last a lifetime. Check out the familykitchen.ca website for age-appropriate kitchen tasks. Preparing food together provides an opportunity to chat. You might even have a conversation about food and food marketing with your children using food packaging as a place to start. Older children can learn to read labels. Check out http://healthycanadians.gc.ca/eating-nutrition/label-etiquetage/understanding-comprendre/ interactive-tools-outilsinteractifs/label-etiquetteeng.php. Food skills also include safe food handling skills. So role modelling can really help them learn. For example: • Always wash hands before handling food and use clean food containers and work surfaces. • Wash all fruit and vegetables – even the products marked “pre-washed”. • Reheat hot foods in the morning then keep them hot in a thermos. • Keep cold foods cold using an insulated lunch bag and a freezer pack or a frozen container of water. • If perishable foods come back home, foods like meat, fish, poultry eggs or milk products, do not reuse them, throw them out. • Learn about your school’s food allergy policies. • Go to www.healthunit.

Nutrition Tips org and search for the food safety resource entitled “Pack a Safe Lunch for Your Kids”. Lunchtime nutrition and kids Lunch is one of the main eating times of the day and what’s in the lunch bag can be a very important contributor to healthy growth and development. Snacks are an extra opportunity to build on healthy choices. Lunches and snacks are a source of energy needed to concentrate, to learn, to play and to socialize. We all need lunch and snack foods from a variety of food groups, whole vegetables and fruit, whole grain cereals, crackers and breads, milk or fortified soya beverages, cheeses, yogurts and other milk products, and protein sources like eggs, meat, fish, poultry, nuts, seeds and beans. This variety provides us with a balance of vitamins, minerals, protein, carbohydrate, fat, fibre as well as calories for energy. Looking for foods lower in added salt and sugar is another wise choice. These wise choices then become everyday foods like choosing water instead of 100% juice to quench thirst. Check out http://healthycanadians.gc.ca/eating-nutrition/label-etiquetage/understanding-comprendre/ interactive-tools-outilsinteractifs/label-etiquetteeng.php for interactive information on reading labels. To speak with a registered dietitian at no cost, Ontario residents can call, toll free 1-877-510-5102. For more nutrition information go to www.healthunit. org and www.eatrightontario.ca. Marie Traynor is a registered dietitian and public health nutritionist with the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit.

1980 Camaro Z28 considered a blast from the past Terry Ford of Mountain, Ontario, writes: “I saw this Camaro at my next door neighbour’s house for about four years. We came to a deal with a very reasonable price around 2013 and I hooked it to my tractor and brought it home. Many parts came along with it. My mom had passed away a year before and left me a little money. This was the only way I could take on this project. “I borrowed a welder and went to it. It took about two hundred hours of welding spread across four months to weld in a new floor from the dash to the trunk along the frame rails, also new springs, bushings, ball joints, steering box, brakes all around, and much more in the end. “It passed its safety test and I started driving it. I discovered the motor to be a bit lazy so I pulled it out and rebuilt it with a new crank, cam, Edelbrock intake, Holley carb, headers and so on. “Now I enjoy spinning the wheels and going to car shows and cruise nights. I’m 56 now and this car brings me back to my youth. It also means a date night with my wife. I’m having lots of fun. I attended the Father’s Day car show in Kemptville, where 1500 cars came that day. I also enjoy Wednesday nights at the Rideau Carleton Raceway. As many as 300-400 cars show up on a good night.” The Camaro dates back to 1967, when GM launched it in response to the astonishing sales success of the Mus-

tang, which appeared in April of 1964. The Camaro styling was just right with a long hood and short rear deck, and could be bought with a thrifty six cylinder or several choices of V8 engines. A hot performance package option was the Z28, which won 18 of 25 Trans-Am races that year. Only 602 Z28s were produced for 1967, making this the rarest of the rare. Production quickly climbed to 7199 for ’68 and 19,014 for ’69. The second generation of Camaros arrived in mid-1970 with sleek lowslung styling and plenty of horsepower. The name was dropped for two years (’75 and ’76) and then revived in 1977. The emphasis was now on handling and not just acceleration, perhaps prompted by the oil crisis of the mid-70s. The ’77 Z28 arrived mid-year, making this model somewhat rare with only 14,349 built. Sales took off the following year with 54,907. Terry Ford’s 1980 Camaro Z28 is one of 45,137 built that year. I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, P.O. Box 255, 25 John Street, Leamington, ON N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in my column receives a free autographed copy of my Submitted photo book: “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURITE STORIES, 1925 to 1965.” Terry Ford’s 1980 Camaro Z28 looks like it’s going 90 miles an hour even when it’s standing still!

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

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!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Hasty reactions can lead to unnecessary problems, Aries. Instead of making assumptions, wait until you get a clear picture before you come to any conclusions this week. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, others are impressed with your analysis and ability to get the job done at work. Don’t be surprised if you soon find yourself in line for a promotion. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 There is nothing wrong with trying to make special moments last as long as they can, Gemini. If you want to linger over a romantic dinner or keep the party going, do so. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Try to find a balance between your need for connection and a desire to be alone, Cancer. This week you may have to do some juggling, but it is nothing you can’t handle. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you may feel free and adaptable right now, but in reality your plans are much more fixed. You may not want to stray too far from what’s expected. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, the depth of your feelings this week may come as a surprise to you. Everything makes you feel a bit more emotional than usual. It is okay to spend some time in thought.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, your mood begins to lift as you find many reasons to celebrate this week. The simplest things can bring you happiness. Don’t forget to share joy with others. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you can’t quite figure out if you are happy or sad, because each new opportunity seems like an emotional roller coaster. Enjoy the ride and appreciate the good times. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you can appreciate all the little details that come with tasks this week. You may see things that others don’t because you are paying extra attention to your surroundings. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Right now you aren’t very happy about having to deal with someone who isn’t always honest with you, Capricorn. Just maintain a neutral attitude and you will find happiness. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you appreciate all the positive feelings coming your way, especially in a week as challenging as this one. Make the most of all of the positive vibes. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, you may have a hard time distinguishing between fantasy and reality the next few days. But enjoy the extra time to daydream. 0924

Barbara Jean Schonhoffer-Thompson

November 2, 1950 – September 14, 2015 In the early hours of September 14, 2015, my dear wife, Barbara, lost her struggle with cancer. She died peacefully and without distress in the company of those she loved. We were married for forty-six years, husband and wife, lovers, best friends and soul mates. She was the proud and loving mother of Elizabeth (Brent) and Matthew (Shelly) and through them the doting Grandma of Riley, Brody, Emma, Grace and Avery. Barbara was the second child and first daughter born to Jeanne and Herb Schonhoffer of North Bay, a sister to John, David (Donna), Donald (Kim), Virginia (Hal), and Karen (Colin). Upon marriage she became the beloved daughter-in-law of the late William and Rene Thompson of Manchester, England, and sister-in-law of Christian (Roxare). She is also survived by her nieces and nephew; Terri (Chris), Sandy (Shayne), Mitra, Emily (Zack) and Michael (Brooks) and all of their children. We came to Perth in 2008 and Barbara’s talent for making friends came to the fore as she became an active member of the community. She belonged to the Canadian Federation of University Women, the Lanark County Quilters Guild, the Loonie-Tic BMW Riders and volunteered at The Table and the reading programme at Maple Grove Public School in Lanark. She also made many friends in her fitness group. Barbara loved her family and family parties, grandchildren and small animals, bargain hunting with friends, motorcycle rides and murder mysteries, garage sales and old cemeteries, Medecins sans Frontieres, her book club, theater-going and music in Stewart Park. In a final selfless act, she has donated her body to the University of Ottawa medical school for research and education. A celebration of her life will be held in a few weeks. If you wish to make a donation in her memory, she would be happiest if it were to Medicins sans Frontieres or the Canadian Cancer Society. Together with our children, I would like to thank the doctors, nurses and support personnel at the Irving Greenberg Family Centre, Ottawa, the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital and the Bayshore Clinic. Their skill and compassion never failed us. I would also like to thank our friends for the love and kindnesses they have given so generously to us at this awful time. Anthony Thompson

IN MEMORIAM

In Memoriam for Francis Robert Conners (Frank) 1929-2015 Frank was the eldest of three children born to Jake Conners and Alice Bissonette of Smiths Falls. His daring parents had eloped in order to marry across the English/Protestant and French/Catholic divide. The marriage ended tragically just a few years later; when Frank was only seven, Alice died. Jake’s parents, Jacob and Josephine Conners, took the stricken family in. At the outbreak of WWII, Frank’s father enlisted as a firefighter and was assigned to London, England. While there he met and married Bee Bullen. She arrived in Canada in 1945 and became beloved Auntie Bee to her three teenage stepchildren; they accepted her with open arms. In his teens and twenties, Frank was a talented goalie for the Smiths Falls Bears. During this time, he courted Carlton Place native Audrey Drummond, and the couple married in 1950. The couple welcomed daughter Beverley in 1958. Frank spent his working life at CPR during the glory days of trains. He also had a passion for antique cars and owned a beautiful 1930s Model A Ford, which he toured around town for many years. Frank and Audrey celebrated many happy wedding anniversaries together. Frank delighted in his family and in the eventual arrival of grandson Kyle. Frank’s final years were spent at Broadview Nursing Home. Thanks to all who attended the funeral and reception. His sister Jean Hasler, Nephew Ken Hasler and great niece Jennifer Godward attended but sister Mary Winning, half-sister Jennifer Anne Conners and family were committed to a family wedding in St Catharines.

McLAREN, Andrew – In loving memory of a dear son, brother and uncle, who was tragically killed 19 years ago by a drunk driver. October 19, 1977 – September 28, 1996. May the winds of love blow softly, And whisper for you to hear, That we still love you dearly. And wish that you were here, We hold you close within our hearts And there you will remain. To walk beside us all our lives until we meet again. Forever in our hearts and loved and missed every day. Dad and Mom

GIFF, Ronald Clarence, “Butch”, “Uncle B” In loving memory of a dear brother and uncle who passed away September 28, 2006. We little knew that morning, That God was going to call your name, In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone; For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, Your love is still our guide; And though we cannot see you, You are always at our side. Forever loved and always in our hearts Your Family

BEAMISH – In memory of a wonderful son, brother, uncle, and friend, Jonathan W.R. Beamish, September 28, 2006, who left us all too young. They say there is a reason, They say that time will heal, But neither time nor reason, Will change the way we feel, For no one knows the heartache, That lies behind the smiles, No one knows how many times, We’ve broken down and cried, We want to tell you something, So there won’t be any doubt, You’re so wonderful to think of, But so hard to be without. Till we meet again.. Love Mom, Herb, Jason, Jamie, Stephanie and your nephews Grady and Darren.

Stonefield’s Charity Giveaway has big impact for area kids For the second year in a row, Stonefields’ Event Destination has chosen a local charity to win an all-inclusive event on their heritage farm. On Aug. 16 Big Brothers Big Sisters hosted a Heritage Garden Party on the local property and were able to raise more than $6,200 for local mentoring programs. Stonefields and their vendors covered all the costs. Stephanie Brown and Steve Malenfant own and operate Stonefields with pride, passion and commitment. Their shared love for the beauty of rural life led them on a journey to create the perfect country wedding and event destination. They spent two years searching the Ottawa Valley for the perfect location. They wanted history. They wanted scenery. They wanted a place that said ‘romance’. They found it in a picturesque pre-Confederation farm they now call Stonefields. Stephanie and Steve worked to bring their vision to life. Together, they turned this historic homestead into a stunning setting for weddings and events. Established in 2010, Stonefields has become home to many ‘happy ever afters’–hosting weddings and celebrations for families from Ottawa and around the globe. It has quickly established its reputation as AUCTIONS
