Lanark County hosts annual Truck Roadeo in Carleton Place

W S NO EN AY OPURD T

Enjoy the Ride. Tiffany Lepack/METROLAND

Lanark County Public Works hosted the 21st annual Association of Ontario Road Supervisors Provincial Safety Truck Roadeo at the Neelin Street Community Centre in Carleton Place Sept. 9. The event saw 28 competitors from across the province drive snowplows through an obstacle course in the parking lot. Above, Mississippi Mills driver John Gleeson won first place in the event with a score of 448/474. He went on to represent Lanark County in the provincial event the next day. Gleeson has competed at the provincial level eight times, finishing in the top three each time and winning once. Here, he stands beside a truck from Mississippi Mills that was used by drivers to do a circle check on before they went on to drive the snowplows. Above right, Brian Slattery from Haldimand Norfolk Public Works was the first driver on the course. Here, he works his trucks through a diminishing obstacle and it started with a clearance of eight inches on each side, finishing with only two inches. improve government efficiencies, two county council meetings will be held each month, immediately preceding the two committee of the whole evenings. A new meeting schedule was implemented in January in an effort to increase efficiency and effectiveness of staff and council’s time by reducing the number of meeting nights from three to two per month. On the second Wednesday of each month there is a county council meeting at 5 p.m., followed by community services and corporate services. On the fourth Wednesday, a council meeting will now precede economic development and public works, which is expected to further improve governance efficiency and provide a faster turn-around time for recommendations from committees. Having two council meetings may also reduce the need for special council meetings being called as frequently. The amended schedule has already cut staff overtime hours in half from January to July.

News – The following are the highlights from the special Lanark County Council meeting held Wednesday, Sept. 17 at the county administration building in Perth. Lanark County Public Works hosted the annual Truck Roadeo at the Carleton Place Arena on Sept. 9, followed by the Association of Ontario Road Supervisors Provincial Safety Truck Roadeo at the same location the next day. The events give public works staff (DZ-qualified equipment operators) and opportunity to demonstrate their prowess in three scored elements: a written test, an operator’s pre-test (circle check) and a practical tandem truck driving course. Officials included Lanark County Public Works staff, local municipal staff, suppliers and other members of the Lanark County Road Supervisors Association. First place in the county event went to John Gleeson, Town of Mississippi Mills, who qualified for the provincial Truck Roadeo. Second place went to Brian Richmond, Township of Drummond/North Elmsley, who also qualified. Third place went to Steve Herns, Lanark County. The provincial roadeo began in 1994 and each year the top three drivers are awarded trophies, plaques and cash prizes and the Minister of Transportation presents the winner with the roadeo trophy at the Ontario Good Roads Association/Rural Ontario Municipalities Association Convention in Toronto. Congratulations to all participants over the two days.

Upper Rideau Legion branch learns about veterans programs

News – For the past seven years, Carleton Place has been host to one of the most well-attended rural Take Back the Night Marches in Canada. Even on the soggiest of nights, local residents turn out with their banners and noise-makers in record numbers – all to demand the right to walk our streets safely be upheld. This year’s event will be held tonight (Thursday, Sept. 25). The gathering begins at 6:30 p.m. in the park behind Carleton Place Town Hall, with the rally and march set to begin at 7 p.m. The march will follow the traditional route through town on Bridge Street and over to Reads Book Shop’s new location where there will be refreshments and celebration. Everyone is invited and it is a very family oriented affair so bring the kids.

Community – Legion Branch Upper Rideau #542 recently hosted Lesley Lehman, partnership development coordinator – Canadian Forces (CF) Appreciation Program, under the arm of the Canadian Forces Morale & Welfare Service (CFMWS). She brought with her a wealth of information concerning services available to veterans and their families as well as military currently serving in the armed forces. The program she talked about was the CF Appreciation Program which was launched to offer a variety of discounted services to the military community in recognition of their sacriﬁce and dedication. This program began in 2005 as the ofﬁcial military discount program endorsed by the Canadian Armed Forces community it represents. No public dollars are used to manage the program. It offers discounts within the following categories: Accommodations, attractions, entertainment, dining, recreation, shops, services, travel and transportation. The Bank of Montreal offers special discounted services. Recent corporations to come on board offering discounts were Petro-Canada, Sobeys and new business are coming on board monthly. There is assistance available for family members with special needs. She said the military community is one million strong. Last year, the CFOne card was introduced and it has been used as the card to access programs and services delivered by CFMWS. Lehman went on to point out that there were already 100,000 members on board. This card is used to give members access to all discounts in this program. G2 Zone Commander Ray Gilroy

Celebrating those who give time to volunteer income tax program Community – A celebration dinner was held at Lanark Community Programs at the end of August to honour the 2014 income tax volunteers. In appreciation for their

diligent work, the sponsoring agency, Lanark Community Programs, provided a delicious meal, certificates of appreciation, and numerous wonderful gifts to the 11 volunteers. This

festive occasion was completed with a meaningful and sincere thank you from Donna Davidson, agency director for Lanark Community Programs. The volunteers completed

more than1000 tax returns at no charge to the taxpayers in the 2013 tax season. These helpers provided tax clinics in Perth, Smiths Falls, Carleton Place, Lanark and Pakenham during the tax seasons of March and April. Their assistance to taxpayers with low income was very much appreciated in the communities. Many taxpayers do not know how to prepare their income tax return themselves. The Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP) is a program

organized by Canada Revenue Agency to train volunteers to provide this important community service to taxpayers who have low to modest income and a simple tax situation. Lanark Community Programs will continue to co-ordinate this free volunteer income tax program and is looking for volunteers who may be interested in volunteering their time. Volunteer income tax filers are needed as are volunteers who could assist clients during our free income tax clinics. Free training

begins in February for all volunteers, clinics run from March through to April 2015. Some volunteers will still be needed through the summer months to help community members get caught up on past income tax years. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, please contact Maureen Hampton at Lanark Community Programs, 613-257-7121 or 1-800-6672617 ext. 104 for more details.

Leeds and Grenville with greater marketing opportunities at fair market value for goods produced, and to provide buyers with a steady yearround source of healthy local foods at a one-stop location. The decision follows a presentation by the food hub in June, at which point the economic development committee requested a business plan be provided and that the proposal be referred to the Lanark County Agricultural Advisory Working Group for comment. The working group recommended support for the food hub as it provides a socio-economic driver for agriculture and food services throughout the county. It also recommended Lanark Lodge and other county-related food procurement consider purchases from the hub. In a report to council, the economic development committee noted the project meets 21 objectives in Lanark Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OfďŹ cial Plan, as well as four out seven goals in Lanark Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vision 2025.

Young Pakenham singer/songwriter to perform at Carp Fair Sept. 27 Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Community – Pakenham singer/songwriter Delaney Grant will hit the Carp Fair stage on Sept. 27, with her signature country sound. Having performed twice at the fair last year – on Thursday evening and Saturday afternoon – the just-turned 18year-old moved up to the evening slot this year, performing with Ottawa band Sidewinder and American multi-platinum selling artist Joe Diffie. “They enjoyed her so much they gave her a call this spring,” said Grant’s mother Nancy Ziebarth.

Grant, who recently performed an acoustic set with Charlie Major at the Perth Fair, is in her first year of music at Bishop’s University, in Sherbrooke, Que. and was unavailable for comment. Her sister, 15-year-old Maeghan, will sing back-up vocals during the Carp set. “This is our home, the Carp Fair,” said Ziebarth, adding she was proud of her daughters. “It’s a great confidence builder for them.”

Pakenham singer/ songwriter Delaney Grant is set to perform at the Carp Fair for the third time Saturday, Sept. 27. The 18-year-old recently performed an acoustic set with Charlie Major at the Perth Fair.

terest in singing out and writing.” Her family took her to Nashville last spring, where Grant was coached by Renee Grant-Williams, a vocal coach who has worked with a number of country and pop artists. She also attended a by invitation only song-writing camp. “She’s always had music in her,” said Ziebarth. “We’re trying to work locally, just getting her out, getting people to listen to her.” Grant is a past finalist in the Ottawa Idol competition, as well as the Hoedown Showdown held in Toronto. She plays guitar, classical violin and fiddle, as well as the piano. She also works with Models International.

Paramedics cycle throughout area to honour fallen colleagues Darryl Fleming, who helped organize the stop with Dale McCabe and local emergency responders. Fleming said that a paramedic is just like anyone else, who gets sick, pays bills but also “stands taller than most men and when all is on the line, dedicates himself to the community.” “It’s a serious life because they’ve seen much death,” Fleming continued. “There’s a divine peace and satisfaction in a job well done.” After observing a moment of silence for Popplewell, his wife Lisa, also a paramedic, and sons

Sam and Luke were presented with Paramedic Ride ﬂags and a commemorative jersey. “All of us at the Lanark County Paramedic Service and CUPE 4480 are proud to have been here to sponsor this truly awesome cause, a national paramedic memorial monument, a place where our nation can come and honour the ultimate sacriﬁces of Canadian paramedics,” Fleming stated. “We’d like to thank Lanark County for allowing us to share in what we do,” noted Norm Robillard, on behalf of the Paramedic Ride.

COMMENTARY

Unmasking the silent killer

Editorial – It’s a gas that you can’t smell, see or taste, but it’s all around us. According to the Canadian Cancer Society, radon is responsible for approximately 2,000 lung cancer deaths in Canada each year, but exposure is preventable. The cancer society is hoping that with the Oct. 27 municipal election fast approaching, candidates decide to tackle some health-based agendas. While the link between lung cancer and smoking is widely known, radon is actually the second-leading cause of lung cancer behind smoking in Canada and in Ontario alone, the Canadian Cancer Society estimates it results in 850 deaths a year. Radon is the most dangerous in high concentrations, when it accumulates in buildings through piping and cracks, but exposure can take place over a long period of time. The cancer society believes municipal leaders can play a strong role in reducing radon levels simply by adding more measures to mitigate the release of the gas. In 2010, restrictions were added to the National Building Code regarding radon, but this code is optional for Ontario builders. Municipalities can take it one step further by passing their own resolutions asking the province to harmonize codes. If further lung cancer deaths can be prevented, isn’t it worth a try?

would hold what passed for an ironing board. It was nothing fancy like the ones you could buy at Scott’s hardware...ones that sprung up and locked in place. No this ironing board was a smoothed off piece of lumber, wrapped in many layers of well-used ﬂannelette sheets and topped with one or two opened-up white ﬂour bags, well bleached beforehand of course. It was set on the backs of the two kitchen chairs and then everything was ready for what would take the better part of Mother’s Tuesday. Of course, much of the laundry had to be dampened. So Mother brought a small basin of water to the ironing board, and dipping her hand into the water, she sprinkled each piece royally and then rolled it into a tight sausage shape.

were the pieces of clothing that had to have the wrinkles ironed out, and there they sat like little logs until ready to be ironed. These damped pieces would be hankies, the dress shirts Father and the brothers wore to church, the little Peter Pan collars that adorned so many of our dresses in those Depression years, bringing a bit of relief to our very plain wardrobe and the hand-embroidered pillow cases. Even the hems of the ﬂour-bag sheets would be ironed. When we went off to school, Mother would already be bent over the ironing board. At one end of the board was a saucer, and here Mother kept a block of wax, and occasionally I would see her pass the hot iron over this wax. But I never knew the purpose of the exercise. All I knew was it was a part of that Tuesday’s ritual. When we came home from school on ironing day, you could still smell the sweet scent of freshly ironed clothes. The board would be gone from the backs of the two chairs and tucked behind the door out in the summer kitchen, where it would stay until the next Tuesday.

And hanging on the back of the kitchen door would be spanking clean aprons at the ready. The iron bases would be sitting on tin pie plates cooling off so that they could be put away until needed again. Mother would be dead tired that night...having stood most of the day over the ironing board. My sister Audrey would be given the job of putting all the clothes away and when I helped her, I couldn’t resist pressing my nose against the clean pillow slips, capturing that fresh smell of the outdoors. And I would wonder, but never dare to ask, why we didn’t change our bedding on Tuesdays instead of on Saturdays, by which time that wonderful scent of freshly ironed linens would be gone.

Retired Tay Valley teacher marches on Washington for climate action Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – A Tay Valley Township woman can truly call herself a fellow traveller with the likes of Al Gore and Dr. David Suzuki. Anita Payne, a retired high school teacher at St. John Catholic High School, who calls Black Lake home, is rejoining the Great March for Climate Action this month, from Chicago to Washington, DC. “There haven’t been as many people on the march as organizers had hoped,” said Payne, during a recent interview. Part of the reason for this is because another similar march, the People’s Climate March, is also marching from New York, and is drawing a lot more attention and publicity. The march kicked off on March 1, in Los Angeles, and Payne marched all the way to Arizona. At the very start of the march there was a big crowd but “most of those people walked with us for the first two-anda-half miles,” she said, before they melted away. But during that initial flush, “it was really awesome.” The starting venue was deliberately chosen – right beside an oil refinery on the L.A. waterfront, which, organizers claim, has created a lot of respiratory problems in the neighbourhood. While California is in the midst of a dreadful drought, on the morning of the walk launch, the heavens opened up and let down a torrential rain. It was not enough to soak her spirits – though the papier-mâché polar bear was a little worse for wear after the first 17 miles. “We were not really prepared for the downpour that happened,” she recalled. As the Californian rain began to fall on the parched earth, and her, she thought back to the events that had led her to be marching off down the road towards the desert. After her retirement, Payne had gotten involved with several causes, including Fair Vote Canada, but in June of 2013, a friend asked her to come with her for climate reality training in Chicago – where former US vice president Al Gore would be speaking. While there, and after hearing Gore speak, and deliver his now famous slide show on climate change, made popular in his documentary An Inconvenient Truth, she heard about the march. But she admits that, at first, she was not entirely convinced it was for her. “I was glad the Americans

were doing something,” she said. “But I was not too interested.” That is, until she got an email from another conference attendee, a “spry old woman,” who was walking the entire 3,000 kilometres of the march. If she could do it, why not her? “I can’t do the whole eight months out of my life,” she thought. “The heath would have been too much on the prairies.” So she decided to march the first 500 miles and the final 500 miles of the walk. She walked from Los Angeles to Phoenix this past spring, not only walking, but driving the break truck and other duties when called upon, “being able to make sure that others can do the walk.” Along the way, she and her fellow walkers have gotten a mixed reaction from people. “Some people thought we were crazy,” she said. Some were skeptical, but polite. Upon hearing why they were marching, they would simply say, “well, good luck with that.” Others were more supportive, telling her “I am glad you are doing this,” while others “would rather sit on the fence.” She also came face-to-face with real life climate change deniers. “It is amazing that some people can still be in that camp,” she said with great indignation and incomprehension. At one point in the walk, while she was riding a bike, her Canadian flag sewn on to her backpack, “some man in a pickup truck rolled down his window and yelled, ‘Go back to Canada, ya dumb ass!’” To that, she thought, “OK, we’ve hit a nerve. I laughed it off.” Besides, she was getting plenty of supportive honks along the way. “We want to bring the conversation out,” she says, and she makes no apologies for being a Canadian marching on the American capital. “I, as a Canadian, am going down (to) the US since I don’t think my government is going to take any action,” and she feels that president Barack Obama might be more likely to lend a sympathetic ear. While she said she clearly believes in climate change and wishes others would take it seriously, she also believes that some of her fellow travellers take it far too seriously. “Some of the scientists are saying we’re screwed,” with mass human extinction possible in the next two decades. But that pessimistic world view is not shared by Payne.

She is pinning her hopes on what is called a “lame duck” session of Congress, where, essentially, defeated and retiring politicians return to DC after the November elections and continue on their work, getting one last kick of the can, before the new congress is sworn in January. Payne and some of her fellow marchers will be breaking off from the main march in Indiana to head up to New York City by bus on Sunday, Sept. 21, for the People’s Climate March to show her support for their common goal. On that day, Christian denominations across the world, and in Canada, will be participating in some manner of climate action. The march is being tied in with a climate change summit hosted by UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon being held that day. Submitted photo “Canada has been involved Anita Payne, a retired high school teacher at St. John Catholic High School is walking in in trying to stop the progress of the Great March for Climate Action this month. climate talks,” she said. “It’s so shameful.” “I don’t want to be in (that) camp,” she said. “It’s not too late. But nobody knows. We need to take drastic action.” During her break in between walking, she took up the challenge of the Citizens Climate Lobby group, which lobbied the Canadian and American governments in both Ottawa and Washington, DC back in June on climate change. She has also done two climate action presentations and hopes to do more. One initiative she would love to see the Harper government adopt, is one that did not go over so well in the 2008 federal election and was recently scrapped by the new Australian government – a carbon tax. “(Yes), essentially a carbon tax, but we try not to use that terminology,” she said. “Because of the spin the Harperites keep putting on it, as a ‘job-killing carbon tax.’ Yes, there will be jobs lost. But even more jobs will be created.” She pointed to British Columbia’s carbon tax where, she says, “people are happy with it,” though she conceded that “it does make every thing a little bit more expensive.” She joined up again with the walk in Chicago on Saturday, Sept. 6, with the walk likely to end up in DC on Saturday, Nov. 1, just days before the Nov. 4 mid-term elections. She hopes to be able to get a Republican senator or congressperson to put forward legislation on climate change because, with the partisan rancor in DC, “if a Democrat put if forward, no Republican will support it.” R0012907919 Connected to Your Community A/CP/K/P/SF - 9 - Thursday, September 25, 2014

Changing trends make newspapers best alternative Reflections By Jeff maguire

sult some staid old dailies have fallen by the wayside. The Rocky Mountain News in Denver, Colorado is one example. The paper, the oldest in the state and a fixture in Denver since 1859, published its last edition in February 2009. The very next month the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, which was founded in 1863, reverted to an online edition only. No hard copy newspaper from the Seattle P-I. The list goes on! The Detroit Free Press and Detroit News, once bitter rivals in the Motor City, long ago joined forces under a joint operating agreement. That has evolved into what is called “the Detroit Media Partnership.” From what I have read the Free Press in particular is experiencing rapid digital growth these days. The sale of hard copies is far less practical, not only in Detroit but across the continent. A good example is our own neighbourhood in Carleton Place. My wife and I are among the few people who receive a daily newspaper from Ottawa every morning. When we first moved here, 23 years ago, every second house got the same newspaper daily. Yes, things have changed dramatically. At one time people could count on the nearest daily paper to cover their district. The daily was supplemented by the local community newspaper, such as this one, which for most of my tenure in newspaper management were paid circulation products. Now the majority of community newspapers (they were once called “weeklies”) are controlled circulation or, as they are more commonly called “free distribution” products. In other words they are delivered to every door in the community free of charge or are available in boxes placed in central locations. Radio and television has been around for a long time of course and over the years those mediums have also changed significantly. Years ago when we wanted an immediate news fix we would turn on the radio or TV. That’s not as easy to do now. Radio news is a thing of the past on many stations and others have cut their news and public affairs content considerably. As for television the slant today is clearly toward entertainment programming. News is being left largely Old papers fall to the “big boys”, networks such as Still others have totally failed in FOX or CNN. their attempts to stay afloat. As a reIn Canada the CBC and CTV net-

works offer all-news channels on cable and Global is also a big player on the news side. Locally I have been surprised by how much television news has changed. Recently I was shocked when I turned on a popular channel to watch “the news” only to discover the ﬁrst story of the evening was about the death of comedienne Joan Rivers. Admittedly I was never a big fan of hers. But seriously, was that story the “top news story” of the day – or any day for that matter? With apologies to Joan’s loved ones, I think not. Certainly not in Ottawa, at least. Increasingly I have found myself turning to the aforementioned news channels if I want to see and hear about the major stories of the day. As for the daily papers in this region I can’t say they do a good job of reporting the news in the district surrounding Ottawa. Budget cuts have forced newspapers to retract and cover city news, not district news. I hope that changes obviously. I would love to see a return to the days when Ottawa dailies covered the Ottawa Valley like a blanket. That is highly unlikely given the shift in how news is being covered and presented. But I feel newspapers in general still have a strong role to play. Given the mass media shift away from indepth news coverage, that is where newspapers win. That includes community papers such as this one. Newspapers vital If I want in-depth stories I have to read a newspaper. Those who aren’t bothering to pick up their community newspaper or a district daily are missing a lot. That’s really unfortunate because there is so much more to the news than what you see or hear capsulized on the Internet, social media, radio or television. For example, the only way I could really keep up with last week’s Scottish referendum, something that really interested me, was to read the daily newspaper. The little snippets in the mass media were mere teasers. They didn’t satisfy my appetite with respect to a story I was so interested in. By the way I am glad my prediction, made a few weeks ago in this space, came true. The NO side’s triumph is good and in so many ways! On the other hand when I want to be brought up to date on what is happening with respect to the municipal election in Carleton Place, where we live, this is the newspaper I read. Community papers are the only good alternative left when it comes to news, sports, information and advertising in smaller communities such as ours. Thank goodness for the community newspaper. Without it we would be left completely in the dark on so many important subjects. To be fair I have to give local ra-

dio some credit. But as I have already written, if you want the story behind the story you have to read the community newspaper. I’m often asked if I think the days of hard copy papers are numbered? People know about my long tenure in this business and they are interested in my opinion. Many feel that given all of the changes, newspapers could go the way of the Passenger Pigeon. I don’t think so! Certainly not in the foreseeable future at least and I hope that over the course of time there will

be something of a return to hard copy products, including daily newspapers. Obviously the world changes more and more each day. But newspapers have always managed to ﬁnd a way to survive and even thrive. If the powers that be continue to react positively to the changing marketplace then I am conﬁdent there’s a strong future for newspapers. I certainly hope so!

Lifestyle – I have been in the newspaper business all of my working life. I don’t think I have ever written anything in defence of newspapers over the course of 43 years. But there is always a first time and for me this is it! What prompted me to write this particular column is the ongoing criticism I am hearing regularly about newspapers in general. It’s amazing how many people think newspapers are headed for extinction. I respectfully disagree. Newspapers need to reinvent themselves in many cases, no question of that. If newspapers move with the times their future is unlimited. That’s because newspapers still lead the way when it comes to news gathering. And reporting is the most basic and yet the most important aspect of the news business. Needless to say I have been disappointed to witness the steady decline in the daily newspaper industry in Canada and across North America. The United Kingdom and Europe seem to have resisted the trend to some degree, although the newspaper landscape overseas is also very fluid at present. The rise in the popularity of the worldwide web (Internet) was the first big blow for the dailies. The more recent impact of so-called “social media” has delivered an even bigger hit. People are depending more and more on their hand-held devices, tablets, laptops and desktop computers to access news, sports, weather and in particular entertainment alternatives of all kinds. I totally get it. In our plugged-in world, people now expect to receive information immediately. I feel the newspapers, especially the brain trusts responsible for the big dailies, badly underestimated what the Internet and social media was going to do to them. They reacted very slowly and for some well-known publications that has proven disastrous. Some big names have already fallen and others are hanging on for dear life. The truth is that some newspaper companies have reacted faster and they have done a better job of putting together websites that are proving more and more popular with people who won’t spend the money to purchase a newspaper or won’t take the time to read one. Digital media is the trend and with it comes numerous advertising options. Advertising of course is the lifeblood of this business. The advantage newspapers have is that they have staff in place that are plugged in and can use the various platforms available to the news media today. Some are doing it more effectively than others obviously.

Lineup announced for annual Westport Writers Reading Oct. 4 Community – The Westport Arts Council’s seventh annual Writers Reading at the Westport United Church from 1 to 5:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 4, features award-winning authors Terry Fallis, Charlotte Gray, Ian Hamilton and Diane Schoemperlen. Terry Fallis’ very first novel, The Best Laid Plans, won the 2008 Stephen Leacock Medal for humour. Brazenly undeterred, Fallis went on to write three more bestsellers: The High Road, Up and Down, and his current hit, No Relation. The Best Laid Plans was later chosen winner of CBC’s 2011 Canada Reads (“essential Canadian novel of the decade”), and produced as a six-part television mini-series airing twice this year on the CBC network to wide acclaim. His second and third novels, The High Road and Up and Down, were also finalists for the Leacock Medal. Up and Down debuted on the Globe and Mail bestseller list and won the 2013 Ontario Library Association Evergreen Award. The same year, the Canadian Booksellers Association awarded Terry their Libris Award for Author of the Year. Fallis’ fourth novel, No Relation, has had a solid three-month run on several national bestseller lists since publication in May of this year, and is his first book to be translated for foreign publication. After completing an engineering degree, Fallis worked in provincial and

This year’s lineup features, from left, award-winning authors Charlotte Gray, Diane Schoemperlen, Ian Hamilton and Terry Fallis. federal politics (reflected in his first three books), and later in communications and public relations. In 1995 he co-founded Thornley Fallis, a full-service agency with offices in Ottawa and Toronto. He lives in Toronto where he is already working on his fifth novel. Charlotte Gray is the first writer to make a return appearance at Writers Reading, having first read in Westport in 2008. A widely acclaimed master of literary non-fiction, she is the author of nine books, including her latest, The Massey Murder, short-listed for the RBC Taylor Prize, and one of the Globe and Mail’s 100 Best Books of 2013. Earlier this year, an adaptation of Gray’s 2010 bestseller, Gold Diggers: Striking it Rich in the Klondike, was

broadcast in the US and Canada as the Discovery Channel mini-series Klondike. A PBS documentary adaptation of Gold Diggers is currently in production. Gray’s previous books include Sisters in the Wilderness: The Lives of Susanna Moodie and Catherine Parr Trail; Reluctant Genius: The Passionate Life and Inventive Mind of Alexander Graham Bell; and Flint & Feather: The Life and Times of E. Pauline Johnson, all national bestsellers. She is a member of the Order of Canada, an Adjunct Research Professor of history at Carleton University, sits on the board of the Ottawa International Authors Festival and is a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. She is a popular radio and television commenta-

tor and celebrated magazine journalist. Born in England, Gray moved to Canada after studies at Oxford University and the London School of Economics. She lives in Ottawa. Ian Hamilton’s first two books were published forty years apart. His first in 1968 – a non-fiction look at the Trudeauera Company of Young Canadians – was a Canadian Book-of-the-Month Club selection. His second, the first of what is already a six-book series, introduced the resourceful and unorthodox forensic accountant, Chinese-Canadian heroine Ava Lee. The Water Rat of Wanchai won the Arthur Ellis Award for Best First Novel, and was chosen a Top 5 Fiction Book of the Year by both the Toronto Star and

Quill & Quire, an Amazon.ca Top 100 Book of the Year and Top 100 Editors’ Pick and an Amazon.ca Mysteries and Thrillers Pick. Subsequent books in the series have fared equally well, reaching bestseller status and securing worldwide rights in Spanish and French and international rights in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Holland and Germany. Film options are being considered. Other titles include: The Disciple of Las Vegas, The Wild Beasts of Wuhan, The Red Pole of Macau, The Scottish Banker of Surabaya, and The Two Sisters of Borneo. A seventh novel in the series, The King of Shanghai, will be published in February 2015. Hamilton’s See WRITERS page 28

The theme for MVFN’s annual Canoe Camp is ‘Seeing Nature from the Water’s Edge’. This year’s adventure, held at Charleston Lake Provincial Park, was organized by Sheldon Scrivens, shown in this photo taken during the canoe camp.

haunting late evening wailing, barred owls which took great delight in jolting the campers out of a peaceful sleep with their loud “Who-cooks-for-you-all” calls, osprey soaring the air currents in search of an unsuspecting lake trout, a whip-poor-will heard off in the distance and very noisy red-shouldered hawks and pileated woodpeckers, heard right at the campsite. In the animal world, the group noted that whenever the barred owls called out at night, a family of coyotes would respond with howls and yipping. Several large painted turtles were discovered sunning themselves on rock surfaces

and two species of snakes were found. Two black water snakes were swimming in a quiet bay and a rare black rat snake was found curled along a stick at the water’s edge. The rat snake is on the endangered species list. Also found along the shoreline were many beautiful displays of bottled or closed gentian and turtleheads. The latter is a member of the snapdragon family. Many members of the aster family were discovered by the group, including one clump of the very beautiful New England aster. The MVFN annual canoe camp is part of a summer-

long program of canoeing and kayaking trips to explore nature and its beauty in and around our many lakes, rivers streams and wetland areas. The ﬁnal event of the year will be the MVFN annual Fall Colours Paddle, to be held this year at the west end of White Lake on Sunday, Sept. 28. For more information on MVFN’s canoe program, please contact Sheldon Scrivens at 613836-0309 or sheldon.scrivens@ sympatico.ca.

Studio Theatre’s Crimes of the Heart has it all ATTENTION

Submitted photo

The Studio Theatre is getting set to present to kick off the fall season with its production of Beth Henley’s Crimes of the Heart, opening Oct. 9. Above, Babe (Mary Ann Majaury), one of three sisters, plays her saxophone. pense, silliness and above all... hilarity!” Barb has found herself a stunning cast. Gina Tremaine plays Lenny, the eldest who cares for an ailing grandfather and tries to keep a lid on her other two explosive siblings. Mary Ann Ma-

jaury plays Babe who is out on bail for shooting her husband (it seems he deserved it), and Tracy Noonan is Meg, who tries to make everyone believe she has a successful singing career. Into this mix of personalities comes the gossipy cousin, Chick Boyle (Patti Greer) and Barnette Lloyd (Andrew McDougall), a young lawyer who tries to keep Babe out of jail. Scott Duncan, plays Doc Porter a former boyfriend of Meg’s. Three disparate sisters, each with her own “crime of the heart” with which she must come to terms, plus a volatile mixture of minor characters, skilfully handled by a brilliant playwright. As the director describes it, “…the telling is so true and touching and consistently hilarious that it will linger in the mind long after the curtain has descended.” Barb’s production crew is no less impressive, with the Silberhorns, Penny and Reiner, constructing and dressing the set, Patricia Parry, ably assisted by Loree Tannett, taking care of costumes, Yogi Sepp managing the lighting and sound design, Jean Cooke taking care of props, and Jane Stott, the invaluable stage manager,

overseeing the production. Crimes of the Heart opens at the Studio Theatre, 63 Gore Street East in Perth, on Thursday, Oct. 9 and continues Oct. 10, 11, 17, 18 at 8 p.m. and Oct. 12 and 19 at 2 p.m. There is an opening night special with $5 off regular price tickets at all outlets and at the door, Oct. 9 only. Tickets are available in advance at The Book Nook, 60 Gore Street E. for $22, cash only and at Shadowfax, 67 Foster St., Perth. Tickets can also be ordered by phone at Shadowfax (613-2676817/1-800-518-2729), online (shadowfax.on.ca); and at Tickets Please 613-485-6434 (ticketsplease.ca). A convenience fee applies to these latter two outlets. Tickets are $24 at the door, and students with ID pay just $10 at the door on show night. For further information call the Studio Theatre box ofﬁce at 613-267-7469 (please note this number does not take ticket orders) or visit the website at www. studiotheatreperth.com.

Arts – Three has always been considered a mystical number – three fates, three furies, three wishes. It is classic in literature beginning with the fairy tales we heard as children – three little pigs, three blind mice, three billy goats gruff. Macbeth was confronted by three weird sisters; Portia had to choose between three suitors who had a choice of three caskets – gold, silver or lead; Chekhov wrote about “three sisters.” So when Beth Henley wrote Crimes of the Heart, she chose to involve three sisters as well, but these so very different from Chekhov’s characters. Barb Guthrie, who directs this prize-winning play, explains what ﬁrst appealed to her about the story. “I loved its quirkiness and humour and its ultimate optimism in the face of sad and troubling situations,” she muses. “I also enjoyed the way the story unfolded in surprising ways. Just when you think you know what is happening, something unexpected arises. It is a story that has it all: love, sex, attempted murder, jealousy, insanity, depression, joy, hopefulness, sus-

Calculate the EER by dividing the unit’s cooling capacity (BTUs/ hour) by its energy requirement (watts). An EER of 10 or more is very good, and 6 or 7 is fair. Remember to buy the smallest capacity unit or system that will meet your needs.

Lanark County municipal candidates asked for views on climate change News – The Lanark – Climate Action Network (L-CAN) is surveying all candidates running for municipal office within Lanark County for their views on actions that can be taken locally to address climate change. “We want voters to know whether their candidates are taking seriously climate change and its effects on our community,” said Peggy

Land, coordinator of L-CAN. L-CAN organizations supporting the survey are ecoPerth, Friends of the Tay Watershed Association, Lanark County Stewardship Council, National Farmers Union-Ontario, Louis Gaudreau (Plant Manager, OMYA Canada), Paula Stewart (Medical Officer of Health for Leeds, Grenville and Lanark), REAL, Transition Perth

and The Seventh Generation Initiative. L-CAN is asking all candidates in the Lanark County municipalities of Lanark Highlands, Tay Valley, Mississippi Mills, Beckwith, Carleton Place, Perth, Drummond North Elmsley and Montague, and the separated Town of Smiths Falls, to complete the three-minute survey by Sunday, Sept. 28.

L-CAN will then post the results on a website so everyone can see what their candidates think should be done to address climate change, and its effects on human health, the environment and the economy, locally. “We’re asking voters to contact their candidates and encourage them to complete the survey,” said Land.

Fall at Full Circle Theatre: Venus is out, but laughter is in Arts – There is no doubt that BarnDoor Productions’ planned opener for their 20th anniversary season, David Ives’ Venus In Fur, is the hottest play on the continent. So much so, in fact, that the play has been picked up for a third run by a Toronto-based professional company, playing both Toronto and Montreal through the end of the year. What that means for local audiences is that BarnDoor Productions’ (BDP) rights to perform the show have been superseded by the professional company’s extended run, leaving the Perth-based community theatre to find a replacement show fast. Digging in to their box of available productions, BDP have decided to revive a show that has been a big hit elsewhere, but which has only played for one performance in Perth. Mark Twain’s Patent Scrapbook is a one-man show that takes its audience on a funny, heart-warming and informative tour of the life

Twain’s most successful inventions, a patented “self-sticking” scrapbook. The items in this scrapbook include ramblings about Twain’s birth and life on the Mississippi in the 1830s, the famous story of The Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, a reading from Huckleberry Finn, his adventures in the Old West and through to his late life musings on death, heaven and hell. Even 100 years after his passing, Twain continued to cause con-

and works of Samuel Langhorn Clemens, better known as Mark Twain, one of the most influential authors and successful humourists of all time. Mark Twain’s Patent Scrapbook is performed by BarnDoor Productions’ producing director, David Jacklin, well-known in eastern Ontario for his more than three decades of producing, writing, performing and more in the region, although the show actually goes back further than that – Jacklin first brought the show to life 37 years ago, when he was 21-years-old! And “life” is an appropriate word, here. Audience members at previous performances dubbed the show “a tour de force!”, saying “it needs to be seen!” Jacklin’s performance received high praise, with one audience member declaring that they “quickly forgot that it wasn’t actually Mark Twain up there.” Mark Twain’s Patent Scrapbook takes its name from one of

Survey asks: Are you septic system savvy? News – More than a million Ontario households rely on septic systems to treat their wastewater. If yours is one of them, congratulations – it’s Septic Smart Week, time to think about this important but often neglected element of your home. Fill in a quick online survey at www.tinyurl.com/ septicsurvey for a chance to win $500 for system maintenance. An estimated 25 per cent of septic systems across the province are beyond their 30-year design life and are failing to protect ground and surface water, the source of our drinking water. As noted by Terry Rees of the Federation of Ontario Cottagers’ Associations, “Septics are certainly a key piece of infrastructure for Ontario’s 250,000 waterfront property owners.”

Working with provincial partners, Green Communities Canada is conducting a survey to identify the types of systems in use, how they are used, maintained, repaired, and replaced, and how people make decisions about their systems. Meanwhile, you can take action during Septic Smart Week to make sure your system is in good order: • Have a licensed technician inspect the system, pump out the tank, and install an effluent filter; • Remind your household to avoid putting anything down the drain that may interfere with the system (e.g. coffee grounds, food scraps, tampons, applicators, flushable wipes, condoms, antibacterials and solvents); and

• Remind everyone to conserve water – large volumes can overload the system and cause failure Septic system construction is regulated under the Building Code, but maintenance, including pumping and inspection, is a homeowner responsibility. Some regions have mandatory septic inspections every ﬁve years by the municipality or conservation authority, and some have grants to help property owners conduct necessary repairs and upgrades, but these are variable across the province. The survey, the ﬁrst of its kind ever conducted across Ontario, is funded by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs and will only be available until Sept. 30

is discovering an artist’s work that really rocks your world. Great tours like ours have a wide range of makers and breadth of expression even within a particular medium. Affordable price points: Feeling flush or feeling strapped? There’s something on the tour ‘menu’ to suit all pocketbooks including a free outdoor public art gallery called Fieldwork (www.fieldworkproject.com). In our studios, you’ll see price tags ranging from $5 to $5,000. Integrity and community: Who doesn’t like supporting businesses that are fueled by good intentions and community support? Whether using local, organic food in your menu, or supporting local efforts that benefit the larger community (or both in our case), doing good for others while doing your own good work is simply a good thing. The Perth Autumn Studio Tour has this aspect covered in spades. Lunch at Brooke Valley School raises money for its cool one-room school and sales of Empty Bowls (www.emptybowls. ca) supports food security initiatives in our area. Great, welcoming service: Your interest and patronage in our work make us happy. A big smile and an upbeat attitude will reward you for your attentions. Our tour is your opportunity to ask all the pressing questions you’ve been dying to ask us.

Passion: Really this should be numero uno. Great chefs and great artists should love what they do. When passion is brought to one’s work it can be tasted, felt and seen. The Perth Autumn Studio Tour brings together a spirited bunch of artists and makers who love what they do and want to share their talents and passions with you. With seven beautiful studios nestled along the meandering roads of Brooke Valley, the Perth Autumn Studio Tour offers art lovers and nature seekers alike a great way to get a taste of our gorgeous autumn landscape and to purchase work from 24 noteworthy artists and makers. Five new artists as well as many popular returning guests, will complement the wide range of work our studios present. Clay, wood, stone, glass, ink, chocolate, photography, paper and textiles will be formed into items as varied as sinks, jewelry, paintings, prints, bags, canoes, clothing, sculpture, tableware, furniture and mosaics.

Community – Surprising as it may seem, assessing the merits of a restaurant can be remarkably similar to assessing the merits of a studio tour. The Perth Autumn Studio Tour is coming up this Thanksgiving weekend (Oct. 11 to 13) and the list that follows should help you determine why you won’t want to miss getting a seat at our ‘table’! A great chef is like a great artist. They need to know what to do with their ingredients. Even the best ingredients can look and taste like hell without a highly skilled maker at the helm. Craftsmanship and expertise are basic fundamentals to a great tour. Our juried tour features dedicated, skilled, and award-winning makers. As the saying goes…You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. Great food and great art experiences start with quality ingredients. You can’t make a great dish that will leave lasting impressions with second-rate ingredients and you can’t create an enduring studio tour without quality participants. We’ve been around for 22 years and have a ﬁvestar reputation. Imagination: Taste buds like to be pleasantly surprised don’t they? Great chefs and artists put their personal ‘signatures’ on their work and aren’t afraid to surprise. A distinctive environment: Whether this means a funky décor or the

Jack Hurd returns to PDCI music department as new choir director Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Community – Jack Hurd is back in his natural habitat. After retiring as the music teacher at Perth and District Collegiate Institute, Hurd is back as the new choir teacher, back at his old piano, in his old classroom at PDCI, where the sound of music could be heard coming down the hallway last Friday afternoon. And it being a Friday afternoon, you knew that the kids wanted to be there. After months of travelling, living in France for a time, Hurd returned, and his manic delivery in front of a class, from behind his piano, remains undiminished. “Do we know this inside and out?” he asks his pupils. Survey the confused stares that greet him, he replies quickly, “No?! OK, we’ll pretend we do.” His facial mannerisms, and flailing style, contrast with his laid-back, hippie-like persona. “We don’t worry about mistakes,” he says, scanning the room. “You just keep grooving. If you are in the groove, you can’t make any mistakes.” Before starting into another song, where another choir master would focus solely on breathing, Hurd adds another element: “Feel the energy of everyone around you.” The next song on the list is the old folk standard, “Where Have All The Flowers Gone?” which they are already practicing for the school’s Remembrance Day ceremony in November. Hurd leads them through the intricacies of the song, pointing out that each

room, and his actual residence. After travelling around so much, he said he was glad to have a place to put down roots for a while. “It’d be a good idea to stay in place until at least Christmastime,” he says. Hurd was in discussion with the school’s principal, John Gow, last spring, and then more recently, about him returning to the school in some capacity. The school had some vocal

classes, but there had not been a formal school choir for some time. So, Hurd took up the challenge. “He has a lot to offer our students,” says Gow. The choir is unique in that it welcomes not only high school kids, but also the Grade 7 and 8 kids. “We have some keen sevens and eights.” Hurd says he enjoys being back in front of the class, but with only choir to concern him, and since he is not a full-time teacher, he gets to enjoy his class time, “minus a lot of headaches,” and paperwork which bedevil full time teachers. Instead, he is “doing the really fun part, working with kids who really want to do music.” He chose Friday since, operating as an artist in the midst of a sports-minded school, there was always the chance of conflicting with practices of a more athletic nature. While the nature of students, in some regards, do not really change from one decade to the next, in his tenure, he has seen students come and go and some former students are still in his choir, while far younger members would never have known him as Mr. Hurd, the music teacher. “They’ve grown a lot and changed a lot,” he says of his returning students. In an era where white boards and smart boards are the preferred tools, the music room is a bit of a throwback in that the list of songs is still scribbled in chalk on the blackboard. Some of the songs are of a certain vintage, but, a good song is a good song. See HURD page P2

From page P1

“You spend a huge amount of time and effort finding stuff that really works,” he says. The kids may not be familiar with the older stuff, and he admits that “teenagers like to have new stuff.” While it may have an immediate pay off doing Top 40 hits, he has, in the past, “put a lot of work into new stuff that became really old, really fast,” he says. On this year’s playlist, the most “recent” songs are at least three years old. “It’s a losing game if you want to be completely current.” But a good arrangement can make even an old song eternal.

He was a fan of the first season of the teen drama Glee, about a high school choir, but though he enjoyed it, he was ever mindful that “they were professional artists pretending to be non-professionals.” Movies like The Commitments (1991), the movie about the making of a Dublin band, based on Roddy Doyle’s 1987 novel of the same name, and The Beatles’ 1970 documentary movie Let It Be, showed how the creative process really works. “It’s more interesting if they show warts and all,” he says.

While John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison had a deserved reputation as songwriters, with some of their initial efforts that they dragged into the Abbey Road studios in London, “some of them were laughably bad,” he said. With The Commitments too, “it’s pretty rocky at the beginning,” as the band finds its feet. Another aspect that sets his class apart is how it ends, with the musical stacking of chairs, which he calls “an amazing way to end a class, a relaxed way to end the class.”

Two cell towers for Tay Valley, despite calls for moratorium Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Despite calls for a moratorium on cell phone towers, Tay Valley Township has given “concurrence” for Rogers Wireless to establish two new towers. The council has voted in favour of a new tower at 2934 Narrows Lock Rd., and another at 230 Crow Lake Rd. The township’s planner, Noelle Reeve, in a telephone message to The Perth Courier, reported that construction is due to begin on both towers shortly and that, during the public comments period, she had received no comments against the erection of the towers. In fact, she said, there had been a number of comments seeking better cell phone coverage in the township. Council noted that the Crow Lake Road tower would be given permission, on the understanding that the “access will be from Bolingbroke Station Road, a seasonal road that is only maintained from June 1 to Oct. 31,” according to the agenda for the Aug. 5 committee-of-the-whole meeting. The Township of Madawaska Valley have been circulating a request for support to place a moratorium on the installation of cell phone towers and antennas this past summer but the proposal has not been gaining a lot of traction

Two new cell phone towers, like this one just outside of Port Elmsley, Drummond/North Elmsley Township, will be added to the skyline of Tay Valley Township soon. in this part of the province. The motion did not even make it to Tay Valley. “We don’t think that… a moratorium

would be what the residents want,” said Reeve. “They (residents) have expressed their wish that they would like increased reception for computer and cell and wireless.” This issue has also come before Perth’s town council, at their committee-of-the-whole meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 5. In reading the information provided by Madawaska Valley, Coun. Jim Boldt said, “I wasn’t aware that cell towers had these effects.” But he wondered about the source of their information. “Where is that coming from?” Boldt asked. “This is the ﬁrst I am learning of it.” With the town expanding Wi-Fi coverage throughout the downtown core and beyond, Mayor John Fenik stated, “New telecommunications expansion has to occur… I am not sure we can support this type of moratorium.” Boldt added that he had far greater environmental concerns – interestingly, from something billed as a boon to the green energy movement. “I am concerned with the effects on human health and wildlife of wind turbines, more than cell towers,” Boldt said. The Township of South Frontenac has endorsed the proposal, while Renfrew County has refused to back the motion.

Perth development charge set to rise by five per cent desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Business â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Perth is looking at an increase of five per cent in development charges. The rates were last adjusted in 2009, with the money going to fund capital projects that go along with increased development. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a vital source of financing,â&#x20AC;? said Glen Tunnock, the consultant who prepared the report on the issue, when it came before Perth town councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s committee-of-the-whole on Thursday, Sept. 9. Without it, the taxpayers of Perth would have to shoulder an additional $10 million in taxes, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think your taxpayers would be very appreciative of that,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It reduces the pressure on general taxes.â&#x20AC;? However, Eric Cousens, the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of planning, pointed out that the charges â&#x20AC;&#x153;do not cover 100 per cent of the costs. They are discounted.â&#x20AC;? The ongoing wrangling between the Town of Perth and Lanark County continues over population estimates in their respective official plans, which does impact on the development charge, but Perth Mayor John Fenik told council that, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am

very confident that we will have a mediated settlement.â&#x20AC;? As for the increase in the charges, Fenik said that â&#x20AC;&#x153;if they want to live in paradise, they have to pay.â&#x20AC;? Developers, however, while agreeing with living in paradise, did not feel that the increased fees were less than heavenly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These feesâ&#x20AC;Ś are very real and are definitely felt in the community. The rates that are being charged are unreasonable and irresponsible,â&#x20AC;? said Luke McLenaghan, president of the Lanark Leeds Home Builders Association, when he spoke to the council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Residential construction in the housing sector, it is a critical part of the economyâ&#x20AC;Ś A lot of people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that they (development charges) exist until they go forward to build own home.â&#x20AC;? And, unlike more visible taxes like, say, the HST, â&#x20AC;&#x153;there is little pushback,â&#x20AC;? with these charges, said McLenaghan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only people who come for a building permit (who notice). Then, it becomes a matter of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Well, do you want to build or donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? However, Tunnock replied that, in his estimation, â&#x20AC;&#x153;there really is no proof,â&#x20AC;? of

development charges stifling development. McLenaghan added that younger people, who are graduating from postsecondary education with increased debt loads, and job prospects that make home ownership less likely than it was for their parents, are having an impact on his industry. As a result, the young people â&#x20AC;&#x153;are feeling more pressured to leverage themselves.â&#x20AC;? He did acknowledge that the charges were necessary, that â&#x20AC;&#x153;growth should pay for growth,â&#x20AC;? but that just because provincial legislation dictated that they needed to be addressed every five years or so, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean we need to increase it every time,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is a real threat to your residential sectorâ&#x20AC;Ś Our concern is the erosion of affordability.â&#x20AC;? He also questioned the transparency of just where the money is spent, and that there was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;lack of trustâ&#x20AC;? in that regard. However, Cousens countered that Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development charge was, by comparison, â&#x20AC;&#x153;will be less than Carleton Placeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s,â&#x20AC;? and that that town also has a water

hook-up charge that Perth does not. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like that we are spreading the costs evenly,â&#x20AC;? said Coun. Jim Boldt, noting that new, and needed, infrastructure, like a new bridge, an extra water tower, and other items, will need to be paid for someway. But he too was not entirely happy with the five per cent rise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel we should stay the course, to send the message to

developers that we are open for business,â&#x20AC;? said Boldt. However, Coun. Beth Peterkin stated that, in her opinion, â&#x20AC;&#x153;there are minimal increases in there,â&#x20AC;? and that money needs to be collected â&#x20AC;&#x153;to be proactive,â&#x20AC;? to get money for future infrastructure.

A bounty of collaborations emerge at The Table

Participating in The Table’s popular fundraiser over the past two years has been instrumental in helping owner, Kyle Woods, connect with local growers and food artisans when he put down roots in town. Sharing food with your farmer has been a bit of a theme this summer at The Table. Earlier in the season, Tosh, a community garden volunteer, teamed up with Laird, an elderly widower with a sunny yard begging for a veggie patch. The two joined forces to create an informal yard-sharing project which has kept them both well

aren’t costly and they’re introducing each other to new places this way.” And finally, completing the trifecta of producer connections emerging from The Table this summer is a story from the Community Action Network (CAN), our social justice club. Joe Cowen, a peer advocate and mover and shaker in CAN, was so inspired by all the work happening at The Table that he planted a large garden in his own backyard (conveniently across the street from The Table) and regularly invites food bank participants over to help themselves to the harvest. Joe’s aboveand-beyond volunteer effort means people who could really benefit from more fresh produce are able to access it. And they’re getting to spend some time garden-side while they’re at it. The connections being made between locals – be they farmers, chefs, neighbours, or program participants – are heart-warming signs that The Table is helping to grow a more robust and inclusive community. With programs that aim to build connections and empower participants, The Table is sowing seeds of hope.

While Laird’s a self-proclaimed “meat and potatoes kind of guy”, he’s trying new things with Tosh’s encouragement. “Both sides benefit from this equation,” explained Tosh, who is eager to expand the plot next year. According to April Mallett, The Table’s community garden coordinator, Tosh and Laird have become friends through their collaboration.

Community - Many a friendship has been forged over food. And with harvest at its peak, it’s prime time to meet your farmer, or share a meal with someone new. In the case of those involved with The Table Community Food Centre, there is a lot happening on both counts – and often at the same time. At our recent fundraiser, Barns Farms and Wicked Chefs for instance, our community chef, Judy Dempsey, worked hard to ensure that guests got to meet their food makers – the esteemed chefs and farmers – who made this region’s local flavours come to life. One such talented kitchen was Fieldhouse, a new catering company in Perth. For the event, they created a mouth-watering mushroom, leek and Tomme croquette with a fennel and apple slaw. Mushrooms came from Tristan’s Gourmet Mushrooms, the sheep’s milk cheese from Milkhouse Dairy, and the leeks and fennel from Waratah Downs Organic Farm. The Masonry Restaurant on Wilson Street in Perth, used exclusively local producers to create their pork meatloaf sandwich served with pickled beet aioli, Bonnechere cheese, and corn relish – ingredients that all hailed from nearby Waratah Downs Organic Farm, Back Forty Artisan Cheese,

Perth wins five blooms, advances to national beautification contest

Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Perth has always been pretty, and now we have blooms to prove it. After returning to the Communities in Bloom competition for the first time since 2001, Perth astounded the judges who visited this past summer, winning us five blooms, the equivalent of a fivestar review, as well as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;unprecedentedâ&#x20AC;? ranking of 86.4 per cent. Back in 2001, Perth got four blooms. Now, Perth will be going on to the national competition, with national-level

judges set to visit us in 2015. Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Communities in Bloom committee met with community development director Shellee Evans for a celebratory lunch on Wednesday, Sept. 17. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re absolutely thrilled,â&#x20AC;? said Evans of winning not only the five blooms, but also for winning the heritage conservation criteria award for Ontario, fitting for a town that bills itself as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heritage Perth.â&#x20AC;? Communities can apply to be judged on six out of nine separate criteria. Both accolades came with separate framed certificates.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It truly was a community effort,â&#x20AC;? said Evans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was one of those things you couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win without community involvement. It is quite an achievement.â&#x20AC;? The judges noted in their assessment that they were pleased to see that the beautification efforts were not led by the municipality, but rather were supported by them. There was a long waiting period from the time when the judges arrived in Perth, and when the committee got the word in an email this past weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You show them everything, they smile at you, and then they leave,â&#x20AC;? said

Evans. But it was worth the wait. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The judges were very complimentary. They were indicating how difficult it was to find areas for us to improveâ&#x20AC;ŚTheir verbal comments were very impressive. They were very kind about what they had to say about Perth.â&#x20AC;? The only major recommendation being made to Perth for next year was to bring forward the tree-planting program for Highway 7.

ditorial - Signs, signs everywhere are signs… They are popping up all over the landscape like dandelions in the spring. The 2014 municipal election is in full swing if you haven’t already guessed by candidates’ signs that are jockeying for positions on every corner of the map. Some signs are vibrant in colour, design and message, not to mention in size; others are plain and simple on a much smaller scale. No matter the size, or message, colour or non-colour, one thing is the same – keep it legal if you are campaigning. Many do not know there are legal ramifications about erecting election signs – the biggest infraction being permission. Contrary to popular belief, size doesn’t really matter when it comes to an election sign, just as long as it’s not more than 40-square feet. According to law enforcement agencies, as well as the Elections Act, there are several laws, rules and regulations to which to adhere. So before candidates go off on a whim, wielding a mallet and a truckload of signs, please make sure you have permission to do so, first of all. This will be an exciting year for voting and changes in the municipalities that this newspaper covers. There are several newcomers and veteran politicians out in full force soliciting your vote. This brings forward a new challenge in that we welcome letters to the editor, but not ones endorsing candidates. To be fair to all, we have been providing our readers with information about the various candidates in our readership area – some 500,000 people strong. In the next few weeks leading up to Election

Day, Oct. 27, we will fill our pages with even more candidate profiles when space allows, then we will recap before voters go to the polls, just who is up for election… or re-election in some cases. Being prepared to vote is also an important issue. If you are 18 or older, a Canadian citizen, and you reside in one of these local municipalities, (and you’re not prohibited from voting under the Municipal Elections Act, or otherwise by law) then it’s your given right to cast a ballot. This year, we can vote electronically – by Internet or by telephone in Montague, Perth, Tay Valley and Mississippi Mills. Be assured you will receive a voter information letter in October with a PIN number that will allow you to cast your ballot between Oct. 20 and 27 (available 24 hours a day). Electors in the Township of Lanark Highlands, Rideau Lakes and the Town of Smiths Falls will be voting by mail. A voting package that includes a ballot, a secrecy envelope and a return envelope along with a voter’s declaration will be mailed. For traditionalists in Beckwith Township, Drummond-North Elmsley, the Town of Carleton Place and Westport, electors will be notified of polling stations in early October. Carleton Place will use electronic ballot counters to compile the vote on Election Night. To vote in these areas, you must attend your polling station on Oct. 27. An advance vote will be available in these areas as well. Contact your municipal office if you have not received your voting package by Sept. 30. No matter what your option is, exercise your right to vote and make your voices heard.

The week that was

ifestyle - Sometimes we take life one day at a time. Other times, we step it up a notch and go a whole week at a time. I particularly remember this to be true during pregnancy when paying attention to developmental milestones. It was also quite relevant immediately postpartum. All the books said the first six weeks were the toughest, and everybody got into some sort of rhythm after that. I remember this milestone. There seems to be a milestone week for college semesters, too. I’ve been teaching long enough to know that, in my experience at least, the first three weeks are nutso bananas as everyone gets used to each other and their new schedules. After three weeks, we all get into a rhythm. Like babies. Sort of. Hopefully with a lot less crying and fewer poopy diapers. Sometimes you start off a week thinking you’re “going to get ahead,” only to end it wondering “what the

heck happened?” When this becomes the norm it is called the “week-to-week planning cycle.” I like to think it’s a form of “living in the moment” with an occasional twinge of panic thrown in. I mean, why prepare a lesson plan weeks in advance and miss the chance to incorporate some new, up-to-theminute punctuation invention, right? Some weeks feel more like a month. And that’s how last week felt. Monday was a busy day. I changed hats so many times I started to forget who I was. By noon I was already wishing for Friday (because the weekends are always sooo restful). Tuesday featured a trip to the orthodontist with Boychild for a regular check-up related to his braces. He went into the exam area, only to return a few minutes later. “They want to see you,” he said, a huge grin on his face. “It turns out I have a mutant, freakish tooth.” “Well of course you have a mutant,

freakish tooth,” I thought. Long story short, in place of the lovely, large eye tooth we were waiting for to fill a big gap, a tiny, conical tooth has appeared. Our orthodontist says it’s only the second one she has ever seen. She called it “special” and “rare,” but we think “mutant” and “freakish” is more fun. It could also turn out to be “expensive” and “annoying,” but I’ll get back to you on that. Wednesday featured a full day at one job followed by many hours at another and capped off with the emergence of a nasty, sinus headache.

“Is this week over yet?” I asked. When I woke up on Thursday, I still had the headache, which made leading a field trip with some of my students quite delightful. Part way through that day, while dining with my students, it dawned on me I had forgotten to give Boychild some lunch money. Fortunately, I had packed him some snacks and juice boxes, and he now entertains his friends by puncturing the little hole for the straw by using his mutant, freakish tooth. It’s rare and special, for sure. On Friday the headache kept me company through all of my classes. I’m pretty sure my students weren’t too alarmed by the fact my right eye was red and watery and looked like it might fall out. I’ll know if they don’t come back to class this week. (Mutant? Freakish?) On Friday night I went to bed early, again, missing the opportunity to mock the late news (a favourite pastime)

three nights in a row because of said headache. Finally, it was the weekend. And even though I woke up with the headache on Saturday morning, it didn’t linger all day. Things were looking up! The headache didn’t even return after I came home from running errands in the afternoon to find the wind had uprooted the patio table’s umbrella, tossing it against a chair and tearing the fabric. And it didn’t return after the glass table shattered while I was trying to put the umbrella back in place. I sat down in a chair, surveyed the very sparkly scene and thought, “Well of course my patio table just exploded.” The good news is I think I have managed to pick all the pretty little glass chunks out of my pockets. Apparently patio season is over at my house or, at least, any activities involving a table. I’m ready for a new week, please.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Show some class when breast feeding in public: reader DEAR EDITOR;

I just read another news article on a North Bay woman who was standing in line at Tim Hortons in Tweed, Ont., breastfeeding her baby and was asked to cover up. Now she’s gone to the Human Rights Commission because her rights have been trampled on. The next day a group of ladies all sat outside Timmies breastfeeding their babies. Ladies, show some class and respect your fellow man. She wasn’t asked to stop, she was just asked to cover up – really, what about all the other people’s rights who didn’t want to see her. Yes, it is legal and you can do it and so is walking down the street without a shirt on. That doesn’t mean you have to do it. Before you get your shorts in a knot, I breast fed my children and sometimes I did it in public. I didn’t hide in a washroom, although if it was nice I did, because it was my private time with my baby. I didn’t hide in my car, I just discreetly sat down and fed the little one. I was never asked to leave or cover up or even bothered by anyone, and that was 20 years ago. Your baby is only a baby for a very short time and when breastfeeding you should sit, cuddle and speak sweet (nothings) to baby. That is mommy time and only mommy time with baby, spend it wisely. It is gone way too soon. If you are so busy and have to multi-task

and it is absolutely necessary that you need to stand in a snack line while breastfeeding then maybe you need to rethink your priorities. If baby needs feeding go sit, and I don’t care if it is in the center of the room, just go sit and spend those precious minutes with the wee one. That baby is not just one more thing you have to deal with and fit into your schedule, that baby is precious and needs your attention. Also be aware of your fellow man, some people just don’t want to see it and as a person, respect that. Why should one person, just because it’s legal, make everyone else deal with it? There are other ways of dealing with situations without offending your fellow humans and you don’t have to hide to do it. As for sitting in front of a store en masse, show some class and don’t use a baby for your political agenda. A baby is to be protected, not used as a pawn to get the point across that you can breastfeed in public, legally. If you wish to expose yourself for the entire world to see and show you can breast feed in public and get yourself on the front page of a newspaper then go for it, but I say show some respect for yourself, your baby and respect the ones around you and be one classy lady.

Sole Sisters lace up for second annual run for cancer sroy@perfprint.ca

Community – On Oct. 19 the rubber (of running shoes, that is) will hit the road in Smiths Falls as supporters of the second annual Sole Sisters run for cancer sets off to support research efforts to put an end to this disease. “Research is so important because without it how are we ever going to find a cure,” said Sheila Coutts, co-organizer of the event. The race will begin at Lower Reach Park at 8 a.m. Both Coutts and her co-chair, France Murdoch are hoping to double last year’s turn out of 100 participants of men, women and children of all

Volunteers welcome An event of this size can’t be undertaken without the help of many dedicated volunteers. The run offers a variety of volunteering experiences from setup to assisting runners and more. Volunteers would be needed from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. on run day, and everyone is welcome to lend a hand. “I’m happy to sign volunteer hours for high school students,”

said Murdoch. Murdoch is the original volunteer. She set out planning a half marathon run from Perth to Smiths Falls in 2012 for her and her friend, Coutts. At the time, the pair was unable to attend a planned race weekend after Coutts was diagnosed with cancer. This first run ended with a party with friends and was a complete surprise to Coutts. “The fight goes on,” Coutts reports, but emphasized the race isn’t about her cancer journey. “Everybody thinks about that one special person in mind. That’s what it’s all about; getting out there for that one person,” Coutts said. Join them this year in taking steps to end cancer in all its forms.

Organizers stress there is no time limit to complete the race, wishing instead to focus on beating back cancer with fitness. “It’s a healthy way to get rid of something that’s not so healthy,” Coutts said. This year the 2km and 5km routes will be joined by a new 10km offering for those who are hoping to challenge themselves even further. Registration is open now at: http://solesistersrun.weebly.com.

Community What a week the Spartans have had. Last Tuesday JAC had its very first meeting. All students are/were welcome and we encourage everyone to consider joining this fabulous group. They are very active in the school and do all of the fund-raising for important things like the Hoops for Heart fundraiser last year that helped us raise money for people suffering with strokes and heart attacks. The Terry Fox run was a blast and we managed to raise close to $2,357.05. Congratulations Spartans! We’d like to thank all who participated in this noble fundraiser and we would also like to thank all who helped set the fundraiser up, for without you there would be no Terry Fox run. We would like to make a special shout out to Tim Horton’s for providing us with free Timbits and orange juice for all the students after the Terry Fox Run. It was greatly appreciated! Last Friday was a spirit day and we were glad to see so many people decked out in black and green and white, ready to show their school spirit. Last Friday was the senior and junior football teams first games. They dominated the field, both teams winning against Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute. The seniors came away with a 32-8 victory, with a stellar performance in the defence led by Joe Trick, limiting the SFDCI offence players to eight

points, and an excellent offence performance lead by Noah Noonan. The juniors came also came away with a win, this time 29-8. Offence players Alex Strong and William Froggatt brought us three rushing touchdowns, and quarterback Jeret Jordan teamed up with Scott Seguin to create and passing play for yet another touch down. What a game! The defence led by Travis Donovan was outstanding limiting the SFDCI offence to only eight points. We definitely got our green on! Our senior and junior girls basketball teams begin their season on Tuesday, Sept. 23 against Notre Dame and on Thursday they host Perth and District Collegiate Institute. On Thursday, Sept. 25 the St. John’s football team have another chance to show their green! The senior team will be playing against PDCI at 1 p.m., at home. The junior team will also be playing at St. John Catholic High School but they will be playing against Arnprior at 3 p.m. The junior and senior boys volleyball teams have a game coming up on Sept. 24. Their games will be tournament format. They will be playing at Smiths Falls at 12 p.m. We encourage anyone who wishes to come, to come on out and support our team!

Federal Liberal critic on aboriginal affairs speaks in Maberly on Sunday Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – If you have something to say about Canada’s native peoples, now you have a place to say it. On Sunday, Sept. 28, from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m., Lanark-Frontenac Liberals will be meeting at the Maberly Hall, 172 Maberly-Elphin Rd., just north of Highway 7, in Tay Valley Township, to host the second of four such free conversations hosted by the riding association. The first was held on the issue of water in Carleton Place back in May. This coming November, former longestserving speaker of the House of Commons, Peter Milliken, former MP for Kingston and the Islands, will speak on the state of democracy in Canada, and the fourth will be on youth unemployment. The conversation on Canada’s native peoples will be looking at the report by the United Nations’ Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous

Peoples, James Anaya, and the relationship between the federal government and First Nations people on issues like housing, water, health, land rights, treaties, and the plight of missing and murdered aboriginal women. The guest speaker will be Dr. Carolyn Bennett, the Liberal Party’s critic on Aboriginal Affairs and MP for the downtown Toronto riding of St. Paul’s. “It’s just a devastating report, that we are not taking care of people in our country,” said organizer Annie Peace-Fast, of Anaya’s report. She noted that when it comes to many of these issues, “I don’t think we are experiencing the same thing here,” with our native population, or at least not to the same level of difficulty, but it remains a matter of concern for all Canadians nonetheless. “The present government has such a disregard for things that are so important to other people,” she said. Asked what she felt the most prevalent issue affecting First Nations peoples in eastern

Ontario was, she replied that it would likely be the residential schools scandal, from which there is “still a lot of pain and discomfort from,” as well as natives “not being respected nation to nation. That’s what I’ve heard in conversations (when) planning this.” In recent weeks, former Prime Ministers Joe Clark (1979 to 1980) and Paul Martin (2003 to 2006), a Progressive Conservative and a Liberal respectively, have joined a group espousing greater cooperation between native and nonnative communities. “I would hope that we would get a conversation going,” said Peace-Fast in applauding Clark and Martin’s move. “It really is important to all of us if we want to have a Canada that we are all proud of.” She pointed out that during his time in office, Martin worked hard on the Kelowna Accord with Submitted photo Canada’s native peoples, and that he “has been Dr. Carolyn Bennett, MP, is the Liberal Party of Canaworking on First Nations education since his da’s critic on Aboriginal Affairs. She will be speaking retirement from politics.”

All-terrain vehicle use on Leeds-Grenville roads defined in bylaw News – The following are highlights of the regular United Counties of Leeds and Grenville Council meeting held on Thursday, Sept. 18. Counties council has passed a bylaw which specifies sections of Leeds Grenville roadways which can now be used by all-terrain vehicles (ATVs). The Thousand Islands ATV Club requested approval for ATVs on portions of the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville road system which connects up a series of private land trails that are being developed. The request was reviewed by the Committee of the Whole and input from Leeds County OPP officials was received. The sections of roadway where ATVs are allowed include: County Road 2 from Jenkins Road to Civic Address #1633 east of Mallorytown; County Road 34 from Kyes to Modler Road; County Road 34 from Haid to Lexx Road; County Road 32 one kilometre south and north of South Lake Culvert; County Road 3 from one kilometre south and north of the bridge at BlackBridge Rapids; County Road 3 from one kilometre north and south of Long Point Road; County Road 3 one kilometre north

and south of Outlet Road, and County Road 40 from Beales Road to the hamlet of Charleston. A previous bylaw was repealed. Two housing units designated as seniors only Counties council has approved a recommendation from the joint services committee of Leeds and Grenville to designate two social housing buildings as seniors-only facilities. A bylaw was passed Thursday has designated 80 Water Street, in Brockville, and 43 Centre Street, in Lansdowne, as seniors-only housing. The Housing Services Act (2012) allows for such a designation if supported by the population, future demographics, and demand in the local area. The Brockville and Lansdowne buildings were formerly “seniors only” until the 1990s. The United Counties reviewed the current public housing portfolio, non-profit housing mandates, and public housing of other consolidated municipal services managers in eastern Ontario. Reviews of the current composition of tenants and the applicants on the social housing waitlist were also completed. Following the analysis it was

determined these locations have a higher proportion of seniors already residing in the units and a significant number of seniors awaiting a unit at these locations. Seniors will be defined as 65 and older. Tenants under the age of 65 can continue to reside at the locations for the remainder of their tenures. Those wishing to relocate to a non-seniors building will not be charged a transfer fee.

food can be collected, stored and prepared for distribution to restaurants, schools, and others wishing to use locally grown products. The idea of a food hub in this area is supported within the Counties Integrated Community Sustainability Plan. A food hub ties in with the development of a Food Charter earlier this year.

News – Last summer, the environmental issues committee (EIC) of the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) conducted a campaign to increase public awareness of the environmental damage caused by single-use plastic shopping bags. They were concerned about how in Canada alone, between nine and 15 billion shopping bags are generated every year. Most of those bags end up in landﬁlls, waterways and ﬁelds and cause great harm to wildlife over the many hundreds of years that it takes for these bags to break down. So EIC and MVFN decided to do something about it at the local level. Headed by EIC chairperson Theresa Peluso, MVFN members hosted information booths at various festivals and stores in Mississippi Mills to spread the word about how harmful these plastic bags are. They also asked the merchants in Almonte, Pakenham and Clayton about their awareness of the issue, their store policy about providing plastic bags and alternatives, as well as their ideas on how to reduce plastic bag consumption. Next, they got the youngsters involved by organizing a contest in local schools. The contest consisted of designing a poster illustrating the damage caused by plastic bags. The winning posters were then copied and distributed to nearly every store, municipal building and church in Mississippi Mills. For various reasons (small number of stores selling items requiring a bag, change in store personnel in past year), the follow-up survey was limited to data from 10 stores. For these 10 stores, there was a reduction of nearly 103,000 bags, which represents a decrease of about 19 per cent over the previous year. Last year, these same 10 stores reported using 539,850 plastic bags; this year, 437,070 bags. One merchant, on realizing how much was being spent on plastic bags, decided to sell cloth bags printed with the store’s logo with the provision that custom-

ers using the bags for their purchases would receive a discount on their purchases every time they used the bag. A few more stores now wait for the customer to request a plastic bag and promote the reuse of single-use plastic bags. MVFN attributes the decrease in plastic bag consumption in large part to their plastic bag reduction campaign held last year, including the impact of the student posters which were visible everywhere. Municipal initiatives, such as increasing waste diversion options, may have also contributed indirectly to the drop off in plastic bag use. MVFN and EIC extend many, many thanks (on behalf of the animals and plants that share this planet) to all the students who participated in the poster contest, to the merchants who are trying hard to reduce the use of plastic bags, and to the public who are changing their bag habits to help the natural environment. What can be done to reduce this number further? Using plant-based biodegradable plastic bags is a good option for situations where plastic bags are the best solution (e.g. for dog feces, litter, baked goods, and bulk food items). Putting up eye-catching signs to remind people to bring their own bags would help. Simply put, ways need to be found to encourage more people to develop the habit of always using alternatives to those throwaway bags. MVFN’s next objectives are to source low-cost plantbased biodegradable bags, as well as cloth bags that can be printed inexpensively with a store logo, for Mississippi Mills, to continue efforts to increase public awareness of the plastic bag issue and to get support from municipal councillors to reduce plastic bag consumption (perhaps by printing signs for stores to display). Reducing plastic bag consumption by nearly 19 per cent is a huge achievement – but perhaps Mississippi Mills residents can top that. Submitted by the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists.

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks 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

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23

Aries, your thoughts are spinning and it’s pretty difficult for you to get a hold of any one thing. Take a step back and try to clear your head before proceeding.

Libra, staying the course may be a challenge this week. You have too many things pulling you in different directions. But you’ll be successful if you can get a foothold in one thing.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

Taurus, don’t let your nerves get the better of you this week. Find someone who can calm your nerves and help you realize you have nothing to be nervous about.

Work associates may not be holding up their end of the deal, Scorpio. You’re content to help out once in a while but not take on the work of everyone else.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

Gemini, you have plenty of motivation to get a project started. All you need is some help to get things off the ground. Others will be inspired by your enthusiasm.

Use your charm to win someone over, Sagittarius. This is an influential person who will be good to have in your corner. You never know when you might need a good ally.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

Cancer, others seem to spend time in the spotlight, but you’re more comfortable spending time in the shadows. Make the most of this time for quiet reflection.

Capricorn, if certain ideas didn’t work in the past, give them another try. All of the components may fall into place this time around, and you’ll like the results.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

Leo, you may be anxious to try a new hobby this week, but just don’t know which direction to go. Get some recommendations from friends about what keeps them busy.

Aquarius, the coming weeks may be ideal for some rest and relaxation. Plan for some downtime and make the most of this chance to recharge your batteries.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Sometimes it is difficult for you to talk about your feelings, Virgo. You want to present a brave front, but you’re only human and should let others in this week.

Pisces, expect things to flow much more smoothly this week than they have in recent weeks. You may find you have more free time.

We wish to extend our heart-felt thank you to all those who expressed their condolences on the passing of our dear wife, mother and grandmother, Margaret (Peggy) Bennett. Thank you to the staff at Lanark Lodge for their kind and loving care of Mom. Thanks to David Scotland and Roger Merkley at Scotland Funeral Home for ensuring that the arrangements were done professionally and with grace. Special thanks to Father DiRocco for his comforting words. It meant so much to see the CWL Honour Guard at the church and to hear the hymns that were dear to Mom being sung so beautifully by the choir. Thank you to Kevin Goligher for offering solace to our family by playing the bagpipes at the grave side. Mom wore her Scottish heritage proudly. The luncheon served by the Westport Legion was also much appreciated. Thank you to the pallbearers: nephews Dave Willis, Dave Craig, Doug Craig and grandchildren Teri Cota, Adam Cota and Nicole Bennett. Over the past few years, many neighbours were always there whenever help was needed, in particular, Ronnie, Dave, Roger and Julia who tended Mom’s flower beds. Sue brought sunshine into Mom’s last few months on the farm. Thanks again for all the kind thoughts, words and prayers from family, friends and neighbours. God bless you all.

Your heart can be empty because you can’t see him Or you can be full of the love that you shared, You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember him and only that he is gone Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on, You can cry and close your mind be empty and turn your back, Or you can do what he would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

a demand for locally-grown garlic, but only the occasional local grower in eastern Ontario. Thanks to the efforts of people like him, the Garlic Growers Association of Ontario now lists about 100 members. Yet, despite Canadians’ appetites for garlic and the movement across Canada to grow local, Pospisil says that still only five per cent of the garlic consumed in Canada is grown in this country. The rest, imported from China and Mexico, is chemically treated to preserve it for its long journey to Canadian supermarkets, and often bleached to make it look bright white. Pospisil describes the 200 varieties of garlic he’s tested as a drop in the bucket, given there are about 700 varieties of garlic cultivated around the world. He’s published

multiple reports on his findings and is proud to say that he has the only organic growing trials for garlic in Canada. His passion for garlic rests on its health benefits and medicinal properties. As well, chefs of all stripes prefer locally-grown garlic due to its more intense flavour and higher sugar content. You too can sound the depths of Pospisil’s knowledge on garlic growing and use at the Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society’s Oct. 1 meeting at 7:15 p.m. at the Portland Community Hall, 24 Water Street. Admission is free with membership or $5 for non-members. And rest assured – there will be no vampires in the house!

Playing duplicate bridge has many benefits for this local couple Community - Playing duplicate bridge has many benefits especially for seniors because it not only is an excellent opportunity to exercise one’s brain but is also a good way to spend your leisure time and to meet new friends. Jerry and Ruth Browning have been playing for 52 and 63 years respectively. Jerry began playing duplicate bridge while in college in the mid ’50s. He and Ruth began playing duplicate bridge together in 1962 when they moved to Kenora, Ontario. They saw an ad in the local paper for a duplicate bridge club. They soon were not only playing but became the club manager for 10 to 15 tables each week. They also took on the challenge of running sectional

tournaments sanctioned by the American Contract Bridge Club (ACBL) . Ruth has the most master points because Jerry started directing tournaments for the ACBL so he played duplicate bridge mostly in club games. Ruth not only played club games but also played in most of the tournaments with various partners during those 34 years. Jerry has managed bridge clubs almost continuously from 1962-2007 and directed during that same period until now. Jerry also directed tournaments for the ACBl from 1960 to the present. When asked what is the best advice they can give to players who are starting to play they advised them to learn to play with as few conventions as possible and only add conventions when they feel

comfortable doing so. They should also play in open events as much as possible. If you always play in limited events you will never improve beyond the level

you are in. Work on your defensive game because 50 per cent of the game is defense while bidding and hand play constitute the remainder. Bidding contributes only about two per cent so regardless of your bidding system or your conventions variations in bidding will only effect two or three per cent of your result. When asked about the most positive changes that have affected the playing of duplicate bridge over the years they concluded those are the banning of smoking, computers for scoring and the use of bidding boxes and bridge scoring machines. They are also pleased that the ACBL has implemented a “zero tolerance policy” so the main goals of playing duplicate bridge is to play

fair, be nice and have fun. . The policy should be administered with discretion and with fairness, The directors ruling on the proprieties of the game are also important in the achievements of a pleasant game atmosphere. The Brownings concluded that the Smiths Falls and Perth duplicate bridge clubs are good examples of playing bridge as a relaxing and friendly way to spend the evening. Most of the players are learning from their experiences while enjoying the company of friends and newer players to this wonderful game. They invite you to come play duplicate bridge-be nice, be fair, have fun and maybe even earn some master points. Submitted by Mike Selig.

Perth, Scotland votes to stay with UK

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Despite early party polling that showed the Yes side in the Scottish independence referendum winning Perth, the No side managed to win a convincing victory in our namesake city in last Thursday’s vote. On the question of whether they wanted Scotland to become an independent country, the riding of Perth and Kinross voted 60.19 per cent No, to 39.81 per cent Yes. Turnout was an impressive 86.9 per cent. The city has long been a stronghold of the Scottish National Party, represented at the Westminster Parliament in London by Perth and North Perthshire MP Peter Wishart, who had predicted a Yes victory in the city. In nearby Clackmannanshire, part of the riding held by Ochil and South Perthshire MP Gordon Banks of the pro-union Labour Party, the No side also carried the day at 53.80 per cent, to the Yes side’s 46.20 per cent. Turnout there was pegged at an astonishing 88.59 per cent. Across the country, Scots voted 55.30 per cent to 44.70 per cent to stay in the United Kingdom. Turnout nationally was 84.59 per cent. While many Scots stayed up through the night, the vote also drew the attention of many right here in Perth, including, Tish Giroux, owner of The Irish-Scot-Tish-Shop on Gore Street East, who was watching the vote with intense interest. Her son Nathan is studying for his masters in physiotherapy at Glasgow Caledonian University, and he was even eligible to vote – though he missed polling day as he was flying back on the 18th. “My heart says Yes, and my mind, at the same time, says, if they were to separate, could they carry on economically?” admitted Giroux, echoing the sentiments heard from many undecided Scottish voters in the run-up to the vote. But in the end, her heart won out. “I’d love to see them separated,” she said. “I am so glad it was so close.” She did not place a lot of faith in British Prime Minister David Cameron, “and all of his promises,” made in the heat of the final two weeks of the campaign. “We’ll see if he (Cameron) comes through with it,” said Giroux, who, unlike political junkies, did not stay up all night watching the results from across the

water, but, rather, waited until the morning. “(I was) a little bit disappointed when I woke up this morning,” she said. The Monday before the vote, she had a customer in from Glasgow who had voted in the advance polls, and another voter came into her shop to pick up a St. Andrew’s belt buckle, which he intended to wear when he voted at the polls set up at the British High Commission in Ottawa. Back in Scotland As Giroux’s customer made his way to Ottawa to cast his ballot, voters were lining up at their polling stations in Perth, Scotland. One of those voters was Rachel Fellows, who works as a constituency assistant to Wishart. She voted that morning and, in an interview just hours before the polls closed, said that the mood was “so exciting,” and that it was a historic day for her and her country. “I shed a wee tear when I put my X in the box,” she said of her ballot. Unfortunately for her, not enough of her fellow countrymen and women followed her example. Clackmannanshire posted the first result of the night, and “it was nothing more than I expected,” said Banks. “It wasn’t a relief...People listened to what we had to say, instead of the white noise.” Banks was glad of the high turnout since “that’s what makes the result even more authoritative,” and that issue of separation is now “behind them.” While internal SNP polling had predicted a Yes victory in Perth, Wishart conceded that he had underestimated the strength of the considerable Conservative vote in the riding, which was almost exclusively No. Scottish Tories in Perth were able to mobilize their vote. “We felt we could carry Perth,” he said during a telephone interview on Tuesday, Sept. 23. “We felt we had a magnificent campaign. We didn’t think that they would get their vote out like that.” Even though the vote did not go his way, Wishart still found a silver lining in the results. “It was a fantastic exercise in democracy, no matter which side you were on,” he said. Standing in the vote count centre in Perth, in the dead of the night, Wishart got a sense

early on that the vote may not go his way. “You get a very early sense of how the evening will roll out,” he said. With all of the ballots being counted, and boxes being emptied out onto tables, he knew to look for clues, including looking for how strong the returns were from areas where the SNP had done well in the past. He started to notice that in areas where they were expecting a good result, “we were not getting the results we wanted…You’re always hoping things will change, that another box will arrive,” he said with a laugh. In fact, for about five minutes, the Yes side did lead, slightly, when Dundee and North Lanarkshire voted yes. Glasgow, Scotland’s largest city, also voted Yes, but the jubilation was short-lived. “All of my political life I have fought for my nation’s independence,” said Wishart. “We came so close. We have been on a bit of an emotional roller coaster.” For the two years of the campaign, he said he woke up in the morning with the sole intention to “try to work myself out of a job.” Now, in what must be an odd turn, he will be fighting to keep his job at Westminster, vowing to run for reelection next May. He kept his cool on referendum night, but the next day, when his party leader, First Minister Alex Salmond, the man who had invited him in to political life, resigned, “I almost totally lost it.”

Religion Today

Major Malcolm Cameron

Lifestyle – A happy wife makes for a happy husband. So they say. It does make sense. You know, time tested attitudes have an element of truth to them. Henpecked husbands are not happy campers. Let it be clearly said: men are sensitive creatures. They quickly react to the mood of their wives. If there is a history to this reaction, it kicks in without so much as a thought. For example Bob says to Suzie; “Su, have you read this article on Mayor John Doe traveling again out of country? Who pays for that?” Bob ducks while Suzie rolls her eyes and yells, “No politics at breakfast. Is that all you can talk about! Next thing you know you’ll be barking up the Harper tree.” Bob says no more. Silence! I wonder what Bob and Suzie would have evolved on political views if Su had been willing to engage, showing an interest in Bob’s concerns, letting him express his feelings. Likewise, if Bob had said, “Your right, Su. Morning is too early for politics. Let’s say grace, eat and talk on something

else. We can do this one later.” Someone has to kick-start the change in mood. Who might be the best one to do that; the one who rules the roost of course! Happy wife, happy husband There is something about Jesus that accentuates the positive. Even when he was knowingly heading toward conflict, he managed to charge the air with dignity. To have heartfelt prayer for one’s enemy as he did raises the eyebrows. To weep with tears of sorrow for those who rejected his love is clearly a mood-changer. Entering Jerusalem in that fateful week ending on the cross, Jesus wept with tears of sorrow for those who would reject him saying; “How I long to gather you as a hen covers her brood with her wings.” Now Jesus did not rule the roost in little Israel. So, there was not much he could do to kick-start a change in mood at that moment. Looking back on an event allows for some hindsight and reflection. Many of us have noticed a change in mood that accentuates the positive when reflecting in hindsight on Jesus’ response to events.

Local food tastes good. Local food is sustainable. Local food promotes community.

Blue Wings face roster shakeup after double loss over the weekend Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

Sports – The Perth Jr. B Blue Wings are still searching for that elusive first win of the EOJHL season after a pair of weekend losses to Stittsville and Ottawa West. But now, the bench bosses are looking to replace a few players. “We’re reducing the roster,” said Colin Glenn, head coach and general manager. “We’re getting rid of the weakest links.” Friday night, the Blue Wings hosted the Stittsville Royals in front of a decent crowd of 400, where they dropped a 7-1 decision. “Too many soft goals,” Glenn said. “It’s not even nerves anymore. It’s absolute brain farts. Five goals… costly mistakes.” The coach admitted that some of these guys are stuck in minorhockey mentality. “Some haven’t even been coached before,” Glenn said, as he is struggling to teach them some simple systems that they should already know. “When I ask them what they did in their (minor hockey) practices they said they would just shoot some pucks around.” The coach wasn’t impressed with the team’s losing streak,

Pictured are scenes from the Spartans two home games against the Smiths Falls RedHawks on Friday, Sept. 19. The seniors claimed a 32-8 victory in the lead-off game, led by Noah Sullivan who ran for three TDs (pictured middle right side in a third-quarter sprint). In the junior game, the Spartans were victorious over the RedHawks, 29-8.

Double-header wins for Spartans Sports - On a picture perfect day for football, the St. John Catholic High School Spartans snatched a double-header victory over the visiting Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute RedHawks. In senior action, Noah Noonan’s three touchdown runs capped off an excellent offensive performance by the Seniors. The defence led by Joe Trick was stellar as they limited SFDCI to just eight points as they claimed a 32-8 victory. The juniors followed with a win of their own. QB Jeret Jordan teamed up with Scott Seguin on a beautiful passing play for a touchdown. Alex Strong had two rushing TDs and William Froggatt capped off the day with another rushing TD. The defence was led by Travis Donovan which was outstanding again limiting the SFDCI offence to eight points in the 29-8 victory. The Spartans will host PDCI in the senior match at 1 p.m. on Thursday and the juniors will host Arnprior Redmen at 3 p.m.

Experience Canada’s wilderness through pictures and song Sept. 27 in Almonte Rick Scholes

Community – On Saturday, Sept. 27, nature/wildlife photographer Bill Pratt and musician/composer Ian Douglas will team up to present Canada Wild at the Almonte Old Town Hall. The beauty of Canada’s wilderness will be celebrated in an evening of audio and visual entertainment. Photographs taken by Pratt in Algonquin Park, the Yukon, and across the Arctic will be presented in three ‘pieces’, each accompanied by an original musical score composed by Douglas, and performed live on stage by the Raintree Earth Ensemble. Pratt’s A/V shows date back to the 1990s when he became what he calls a “Canada promoter”, prompted largely by the 1995 Quebec referendum. He took a positive approach to national unity by capturing and sharing the beauty of our land. Since retirement from Parks Canada in 2010 he has pursued his passion for photography full time, approaching his second career with professional dedication and drive. The idea for Canada Wild was conceived a few years ago, although some of the seeds were sown as far back as childhood. Both men grew up in the “wilds” of Toronto and enjoyed summer adventures in Algonquin Park. “Returning from canoe trips, I always felt sad to leave such a beautiful place,” says Douglas. “The impressions from those trips have certainly stayed with me and so it’s very natural for me to write music for this sort of collaboration.” After meeting about ten years ago and discovering their mutual interests

Photos courtesy of Bill Pratt

Nature/wildlife photographer Bill Pratt and musician/composer Ian Douglas will team up to offer Canada Wild at the Almonte Old Town Hall this Saturday, Sept. 27. Pratt chose 300 photos he has taken on excursions over the past 15 years, including this one of snow-capped mountains (above), to be set to Douglas’ music. Right, another closeup image of a bird. and complementary talents, Douglas began recommending recorded music for Pratt to use in his A/V shows. This continued for many years until finally they realized that a more tailored approach would be both a challenge and a way to enhance their art. Pratt plans expeditions specifically to gather images from exotic and remote landscapes. These trips are usually solo, often involving chartered planes and helicopters and pre-dawn liftoffs to catch those evanescent moments at sunrise, for example. Such adventures come with a significant amount of discomfort and danger. To get a clean image, a photographer usually avoids shooting through a window. Imagine, then, your feelings whilst your pilot “Googles” the question of whether or not his plane can be safely flown with its door removed. Or your horror, after leaning out of the

banking plane’s door to get a shot, upon discovering that the banging noise you heard was your unbuckled seatbelt flapping against the side of the plane. At times, he has endured Arctic temperatures as low as -56°C. Camera batteries last about 10 minutes at that extreme. And it’s not possible to change batteries while wearing gloves – frostbite risk is all in a day’s work. Trips are expensive, so he will typically shoot over 1000 DSLR images per day. A three-week trip might yield 6,500 images processed from RAW to final form. Regarding the collaboration for this project, Douglas explains: “For a number of years, Bill and I have been working jointly to find soundtrack music for his slide shows. Last year, we decided it would be a creative challenge to compose and perform original music that was directly inspired by the images.”

Using sample images from previous shows, Douglas began to compose a score. Once a rough score was written, Pratt carefully selected 300 photos taken during various trips over the past 15 years. The two have jointly assembled the images into the equivalent of three coffee table books and figured out the full score requirements. Ian spent many more hours iteratively fine tuning the music at home at his piano. Finally they aligned the images with the score so that the musical and photographic emotions tell the same story. The results are exceptionally pleasing. Performing the music live on stage will be the Raintree Earth Ensemble, led by Douglas (piano, percussion), and including Steve Smith (cello), Kelly Sloan (voice), Neil Saungikar (hand-drums),

and Steve Reside (drums, percussion). The musicians have been chosen for their intuitive abilities, and so will augment the written score with inspiration from the images that unfold during the show. They will be positioned so that they can see the screen and be fully visible to the audience at the same time. The ensemble has been assembled specifically for this one-time event. “There will be lots of energy – the images and music will enhance each other. And it’s always been a Raintree theme to use images in our shows,” says Douglas. Doors open at 7:30 p.m., show starts at 8 p.m., with one intermission. The artists will briefly introduce each segment of the show. Tickets are $20 at raintreemusic.com.

Powerful performances keep Atom Egoyan thriller on track MOVIE: The Captive STARRING: Ryan Reynolds, Mireille Enos, Rosario Dawson, Scott Speedman, Alexia East and Kevin Durand DIRECTOR: Atom Egoyan RATING: 14A Opinion – Most psychological thrillers are fast paced in order to keep you at the height of tension. The Captive spans eight years as Atom Egoyan explores the trauma, suffering, and perseverance of his characters as they deal with an unimaginable horror. When she was eight Cass (Alexia East) was taken from the backseat of her father’s pickup truck. Matthew (Ryan Reynolds) had stopped at a truck stop after Cass’s skating practice. He was gone ﬁve minutes, but it was ﬁve minutes too long. Matthew and his wife Tina (Mireille Enos) are plunged into a

OVER

nightmare. The police, led by detectives Nicole (Rosario Dawson) and Jeffery (Scott Speedman), are searching, but they keep coming back to Matthew as the prime suspect. For eight years Matthew never stops looking. For eight years Nicole and Jeffery continue to investigate pedophile rings on the internet. For eight years Tina continues to hate and blame Matthew. For eight years Cass lives with her abductor, Mika (Kevin Durand), and for eight years he uses her to entice other children. The Captive takes the psychological thriller, and puts it on a slow boil for eight years. It’s eight years of anguish. It’s eight years of pain. It’s eight years of suffering, and Atom Egoyan explores every inch of it. He takes you inside this horror. He makes it real in a way that’s both

My Take MARK HASKINS

hard to watch, and fascinating. He does it by avoiding any graphic displays, and instead relies on the depth of emotion from his actors. In this regard The Captive is an incredible piece of movie making. However, Egoyan tells his story in a non-linear fashion. It jumps around from so many different points within those eight years it’s hard to know when things are happening in relation to other events. It can be effective to watch a story unfold from multiple points within the story, but in The Captive there

seems to be no rhyme or reason for it. It just seems like Egoyan is trying too hard to make his ﬁlm into art. As a collection of actors this cast is nothing short of brilliant. Egoyan relies on them to make the horror of this event real. He relies on them to make their characters seem like real people, and they succeed beyond any expectations. Scott Speedman, Mireille Enos, Rosario Dawson and Alexia East are fantastic. Kevin Durand proves himself to be a true chameleon as he becomes

this intelligent and creepy monster. Ryan Reynolds gives one of the best performances of his career. I was astounded by his portrayal, and found it remarkably convincing and incredibly powerful. The Captive has great performances. It’s a uniquely fascinating story. It’s ﬁlmed with such realism it almost borders on the surreal. Yet the manner in which it is told is bafﬂing. I’m all for art, but sometimes simpler is better. Mark Haskins’ column appears on a regular basis.

ENERGY TIP! Check doors for proper insulation. Place your hand against a door from the inside. If it feels cooler than the inside walls, it might be time to install a door that’s better insulated.

Anti-lock brakes, cross-country shipping and changing your mind Lifestyle – “Good morning, Brian! I’ve read your column for a while now and it suddenly dawned on me that I have had an automotive question that no one seems to be able to answer and that I should write to you. I have a 2007 Toyota Yaris and a while ago the brake light and ABS light went on. I had it checked at a Toyota dealer and they gave me a report that indicated I needed to replace the right hand side hub, bearing and wire. It would cost a little more than $500. I did a little research online and found others complaining about the same problem. They talked about a sensor that needed to be replaced. My question is – Is this an item that needs to be ﬁxed? What are the consequences of not ﬁxing it? Does it just disable the ABS system? Your thoughts would be extremely valuable to me. Thanks for your time and the important work that you do!” G With a defective wheel speed sensor (located in the hub/bearing assembly on your Yaris) and the anti-lock brake system (ABS) warning light on, your vehicle’s ABS system will not function as intended. It likely won’t operate at all in a panic stop when one or more wheels loose traction. This is a critical safety feature on

your vehicle and I would advise to get it repaired as soon as possible. “Hi Brian, I hope all’s well. A family member wants to purchase our Kia Rondo and have it shipped to their home – The Okanagan. They live in Penticton but Kelowna would work also. I have a concern about sale price, licensing and taxes in BC at time of licensing. What about certiﬁcation? I also am not sure of the best way to ship an auto-rail or truck and I hope you can give me some insight or refer me to a source of information. I realize this is not maintenance related but is auto related. Thanks in advance for your assistance.” G The vehicle will require a British Columbia safety standards inspection and registration in the BC provincial insurance plan and will be subject to BC tax. The Insurance Corporation of British Columbia has some great and easy to navigate information on this on their website at www.icbc.com. There are several auto carrier and shipping companies operating in Canada and all have websites where you can get quotes by email. Shipping by rail may take longer based on a carrier company having

to wait to accumulate a full load before getting their rail-carrier on the main track. Sending a vehicle by truck doesn’t present any greater or lesser risk. Based on destination fees I see here at work, I would expect something between $2,000 and $2,500, but use the shippers’ websites to get accurate figures. Depending on the value of the car, someone’s time and airline seat sales, it might be more cost effective to drive it out and fly back (and a great way to see the country to boot!) Change your mind? On my side of the service and parts counter we run into this scenario from time to time; a customer drops off their vehicle for a service and inspection for one or more specific symptoms. The technician completes the checkover, an estimate is prepared and the customer is contacted to review the required work and costs and to get authorization to proceed or not.

OPP reminds anglers to be safe this fall News – Duck hunters and anglers should take extra care in making sure they have all the proper boating safety equipment plus extra survival gear. Everyone needs to remember that lifejackets and other safety equipment are still required at all times when boating. More clothes and equipment in boats make it all that much more important to remember to have a lifejacket that will ﬁt over heavy clothing or better yet, wear a ﬂoater jacket or survival suit. Always tell someone where you will be going and when you are expected to be home. If you are going to be out before sunrise or after sunset make sure you have proper navigation lights as required by the Canada Shipping Act. Remember: every one requires proof of competency on board all motorized boats. Off-road and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) Safe riding rules to remember: • Always wear an approved helmet. Fluorescent orange helmets are available for hunters. • Never operate an ATV when consuming alcohol.

• Always read the instruction manual and follow manufacturer’s recommendations, i.e. Obey warning labels and stickers on the ATV. • ATVs are permitted on the shoulders of some approved roads; however, operators must possess a minimum G2M2 drivers licence and obey all the rules of the road and the Off Road Vehicles Act. Check with the local municipal ofﬁce or police to ensure what roads are approved. • Make sure your off-road vehicle is registered, plated and insured and you carry all the documents (driver’s licence and insurance must be originals). • If operating on an approved roadway, the speed limit for ATVs is 50 km/h where the speed for cars is over 50 km/h and 20 km/h for ATVs where the speed for cars is 50 km/h or less. • ATVs are motor vehicles and guns must be unloaded at all times when on them. • Passengers are not allowed on ATVs when operated on roads.

tering a warn on an approved screening device not only applies to motor vehicles, but all vessels and off-road vehicles as well. The best rule of thumb is if your operating any motor vehicle, vessel or off-road vehicle, don’t drink and drive. The penalties for registering a “warn” are: • First-time: three-day driver’s licence suspension • Second time: seven-day driver’s licence suspension and required to take remedial alcohol treatment program. • Third time: 30-day driver’s licence suspension, required to take remedial alcohol treatment program and have ignition interlock device attached to your vehicle for six months. If you are over the legal limit of 80 milligrams of alcohol, police may suspend your driver’s licence for 90 days and you may face criminal charges. “Only you can ensure your own safety,” said chief superintendent Daniel Redmond, regional commander, East Region. “Make a plan before you go out and stick to it. Your family, friends and the police appreciate it.” The administrative driver’s Submitted by the Ontario licence suspension for regis- Provincial Police.

An approval is given, but an hour or more or less later, the client calls back stating they’ve changed their minds and don’t want to get anything done. In most cases the tech has already commenced disassembling the appropriate components and many customers are surprised and sometimes upset to learn that either the job must be completed as agreed to or at the least there will be labour charges to reassemble the vehicle. It’s understandable that customers are cautious when spending the kind of money that auto repairs sometime entail. And trying to budget household expenses and the costs of the family vehicle can be a challenge in most households. What might be helpful is to have a family discussion before taking the vehicle in for its appointment. Discuss what ﬁnances are available and who will make the decision and make sure this person’s contact information is given to the service counter person when the vehicle is dropped off. Don’t be shy about asking questions at the service counter. Most experienced personnel may be able to offer some ideas of what has to be done based on the age and mileage on the vehicle and its symptoms. It’s never a bad idea to ask what the ‘worst case’ scenario might be. If you know

a larger estimate might involve some time to make financial arrangements or further family conferences, let the shop know when you are presented with the estimate and they can put your vehicle on hold rather than waste time and your money in labour fees. There are certain Pandora’s boxes that can’t be put back together again. If a shop tells you your car’s engine or transmission must come out and be torn down to provide an estimate and you say yes, you’re pretty much committed to either fixing it or getting it back in a basket. When either of these major power-train components are completely disassembled they can’t be put back together without new gaskets and seals and in the case of a transmission that requires an overhaul, putting it back together without fixing it means it may not operate at all. As with most things in life, good communication can prevent and solve a lot of problems.

CDSBEO enrolment numbers increase despite provincial trend

Three-year mental health strategy The CDSBEO has developed a threeyear mental health strategy to establish mental health program priorities for students in the board. Developed in response to the Ministry of Education Mental Health Strategy template, which was distributed to Ontario school boards in December 2013, the plan includes priorities which have been identified by the board’s school

communities. An action plan, which outlines a timeline for the various activities or initiatives included in the plan, has also been developed as part of the strategy. Michelle Neville, mental health lead, presented information about the threeyear mental health strategy, which identifies building student resiliency as a key focus, to the board of trustees. “In developing the plan, the mental health lead was tasked with determining areas of strength in the board, as well as areas which must be given focus for improvement,” explained Neville. “As part of the template, the ministry provided ten conditions for effective school mental health, and asked boards to determine areas of strength and areas which required focus.” These conditions include: commitment, collaboration, shared language, clear and precise vision, school mental health leadership teams, assessment of initial capacity, standard processes, professional learning protocols, ongoing quality improvement, and a mental health strategy and action plan. Through resource mapping exercises, and consultation with members of the Board psychological team, principals, teachers, student support workers, and students themselves, it was determined that anxiety, depression and addiction concerns rank as the top three areas of consideration for students in the CDSBEO. For this reason, the focus throughout the three-year mental health strategy mainly targets these mental health needs, and strives to incorporate community partners as active participants in ensuring the success of the plan. A draft of the plan was sent to the ministry in March 2014, and a final version of the plan was submitted in July, following additional research which included focus groups with secondary students in all board high schools, and an in-depth review of the strategy by the board mental health team. A copy of the plan summary can be

Board graduation rates Each year, the Ministry of Education provides the board with annual Student Success Indicator Data. The data is collected through the Ontario School Information System (OnSIS), and helps to identify areas for success as well as areas where students may need support. The data is shared with school principals, who use it to help guide their school improvement plans, and to identify areas of need for teacher professional development. Superintendent of School Effectiveness, John Cameron, presented an overview of the ministry indicator data report to the board of trustees. The Ministry of Education provides annual graduation rates based on a four-year formula. The board is able to calculate an annual graduation rate based on data from our student information system. “The Ministry calculation is based on a four-year formula which includes students who have moved from the CDSBEO to another system, and did not graduate, as well as students who have left the province and are beyond our ability to track,” explained Cameron. “Our numbers consider the total number of students currently enrolled in grade 12 for that specific cohort, and does not include students who have left the CDSBEO and enrolled elsewhere.” Based on the CDSBEO data, the 2012-13 graduate outcome profile indicates that 92 per cent of learners achieved their Ontario Secondary School Diploma in four years, while

an additional 3.7 per cent achieved it in more than four years. A significant piece of the data includes accumulation rates. In the analysis of board and provincial credit accumulation for 2012-13, results are as follows: • Grade 9 students who attained eight or more credits – 95 per cent (province – 85 per cent) • Grade 10 students who attained 16 or more credits – 90 per cent (province – 78 per cent) • Grade 11 students who attained 23 or more credits – 89 per cent (province – 80 per cent) In addition, averages of credit accumulation are up, over time, for annual cohorts, and compulsory course pass rates, by course type, are also increasing for all levels of students in the CDSBEO, and continue to be above the provincial averages. “Our student success rates can be attributed to the Pathways programs,” noted Cameron. “This includes OYAP, dual credit programs, Specialist High Skills Major programs, and student success and special education tracking and monitoring.” Teachers and school teams closely follow at-risk students, and assistance is being given to these learners to ensure they attain their credits. Principals will continue to review the student success indicator data and graduation rates to help develop school improvement plans, and identify areas of need within the board.

News – The following are highlights from the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) meeting held Sept. 16 at the board office in Kemptville. At a time when enrolment continues to decrease across the province, enrolment in the CDSBEO is healthy, and numbers have increased slightly. The board has more students than projected and enrolment is higher than last year.

1936 Plymouth sedan a delight to drive for Ontario couple Community – An email arrived recently from George Johnson of Wasaga Beach, Ontario: “Hi Bill: We just read your article about cars built between 1931 and 1941. My wife and I own a 1936 Plymouth P2 Deluxe four-door sedan. We have owned the car for about two weeks and we love it! It is for the most part all original on the outside and inside. There are a few missing parts, like wheel wrench, tire iron, etc.” I emailed George and Louise with a barrage of questions about this fabulous looking car and they replied: “We saw the Plymouth P2 Deluxe sedan two weeks ago for sale in Orillia, Ontario. We both loved the car, purchased the vehicle on the spot, and drove it home. We have the build card from the factory in Detroit. The car was built August 18, 1936 and delivered to a dealer named O. E. Stetler in York, D.C. We also have dealer brochures for 1936. “The car has original paint, original interior, all in very nice condition. We will be doing some restoration on all the rubber material and preservation of the rest of the vehicle. Some mechanical issues are evident and will be restored over the course of this winter. Both my Dad and my wife’s father had Cadillacs at one time, a 1949 and

a 1957 respectively. We were really looking for a Cadillac but that was not to be.” I asked George about the first cars he owned (a favourite question of mine): “No, the Plymouth is not my first old car. I had a 1952 Oldsmobile (that’s another story!) and also had a 1956 Ford Fairlane. After we were married, I acquired a 1949 Chev from a friend of mine.” As soon as I saw the photo of their 1936 Plymouth, I opened my copy of the “1942 Used Car Sales Handbook of Features.” This book was put out by GM of Canada for all its sales personnel all across Canada. All cars from 1935 to 1941 are listed (from Auburn to Willys) with specifications for each, and with Canadian prices when new. The Windsor factory list price for the 1936 Plymouth P2 Deluxe fourdoor sedan was $890, and Toronto delivered for $1,038. With the Johnsons’ 1936 Plymouth having been built in Detroit, the factory list price and retail price would be lower than in Canada. The Johnsons’ Plymouth has a flathead six cylinder engine with 201 cubic inches cranking out a very re- George and Louise Johnson with their newly acquired 1936 Plymouth Deluxe sedan.

…and many more!

Canadian actor Robert Bockstael appearing in Carleton Place Oct. 9 Community – Veteran Canadian actor Robert Bockstael will be appearing in Carleton Place on Thursday, Oct. 9. He will hold a question and answer session (a “tell all” about the world of TV and movies) at Temptations Magazine Store (117 Bridge Street) Start time is 7:30 p.m. Bockstael is the typical Canadian actor in the sense that you likely recognize his face (voice) but not his name. Over his 30-plus year career he has appeared in numerous TV shows, movies, radio dramas and stage performances. Included amongst this list are: TV shows such as North of 60, Wind At My Back, Our Hero, Street Legal, Forever Knight, Counterstrike, The Famous Jett Jackson and Nero Wolfe. Movies include: The Day Ronald Regan Was Shot (with Richard Dreyfus), the mini-series Trudeau, animated features such as Robocop, X-Men, Maxie’s World, The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin, Super Mario Brothers, Dennis The Menace, Monster Force, Rupert The Bear and on and

on the list goes. Bockstael is appearing in Carleton Place at the request of longtime friend Lyle Dillabough. They met and became friends at Gloucester High School in Ottawa during the mid-70s and sometimes performed together in the Blue Ridge Waters country/rock band throughout eastern Ontario and western Quebec during that era. He went on to join the Great Canadian Theater Company in the early 80s and from there took on the world. Dillabough and Bockstael have remained close friends over the years in an unusual way. They have only seen each other once in the past 25 years (Halifax in 2006) but have maintained a close bond throughout the years. Both of their sons were born in 1996 (each with serious health issues right from birth that were overcome) and they have shared this and other bonds over time. “We all knew that Robbie was going to be an actor,” Dillabopugh recalls. “He could imitate anyone

(especially teachers) and made us laugh constantly. It’s funny how he went on to play so many bad guys when he was just so comical. Smart too, he was.” Bockstael’s appearance is the first of what organizers hope will be a monthly occurrence at Temptations; a “Once Month Club” (yet to be named) that is a joint effort by owner Alana Rockburne and former Brush Strokes owner Faye Lavergne. The idea is to bring people together to enjoy an interesting presentation, artistic performance, etc. and to share discussions, ideas and fellowship, as well as to raise some money for worthy causes. Admission is only $5 with the proceeds going towards Bockstael’s choice this time of the local autism support charity. This is a limited seating event therefore advance tickets will be available shortly. Those who want to avoid disappointment should pick theirs up early. Call 613-257-7406 for more information.

Corolla morphs into slightly larger and more muscular looking vehicle Lifestyle – The vehicles I road test for these reviews (yes, it’s a tough job, but I’m willing to make sacrifices) come from two main sources: press fleets owned by the Canadian head offices of the manufacturers and local dealerships. I prefer to use dealership units whenever possible because they more closely represent the trim and equipment level that you or I shop for, whereas press fleets are made up of fully loaded higher-end models. If you are interested in learning more about any of these vehicles, check out the manufacturers’ websites or better yet, call your local dealership and speak to one of their knowledgeable staff. It’s the ultimate in interactive information gathering. The 2015 Toyota Corolla I enjoyed for this review came from the friendly folks at Kanata Toyota in Kanata. Since being introduced in 1966, Corolla has quickly become a force to be reckoned with, achieving the best selling nameplate in the world title in 1974. By July 2013, more than 40,000,000 of these compact sedans had been sold worldwide and in this country they are a perennial favourite consistently battling it out for the top spot in sales. In 2014 Toyota released its 11th generation of the Corolla and I had a chance recently to take out an ‘S’ model for a Saturday spin. The Corolla’s entry level CE trim starts out at $15,995. It’s also available

in LE, LE ECO, and S form. A fully loaded LE ECO with all the optionstops out at $27,291. My S level tester from Kanata Toyota came in at $22,100 with options. (All prices quoted come from Toyota Canada’s website and are listed before freight, dealer prep, license fees, taxes, or current incentives.) The room inside this compact sedan belies its classification as a small car. Front seat hip, head, and leg room are all better than expected and rear seat passengers won’t have the front seats anywhere near their knees unless some NBA guards driving and riding shotgun. Unlike many of today’s entries into this class Toyota has not scrimped on sound insulation materials and even though my S tester was riding on some fairly aggressive low-profile 17” performance tires, the road noise was subdued. Power comes from a 1.8 L four-cylinder dual overhead cam gasoline engine with variable valve timing putting out a respectable 132 hp. The transmission choice for the S level is either a manual six-speed or, as my tester was equipped with, a continuously variable transmission with paddle shifters. No worries about buzzing noise from this power plant, it was as quiet as a mouse. With the spot that the Corolla holds in its line up (Toyota wouldn’t necessarily call it a flagship, but it is the face of the company) tinkering with exterior styling is a risky business. The Corolla has morphed into a slightly larger and

more muscular looking vehicle, but the designers avoided the pitfalls of extreme curves and body lines that can drive away more customers than they attract. And of course with Corolla, even something as ethereal as styling must still

follow function, leaving great visibility and ease of operation with the mandate to outlast the car loan that ﬁnanced the purchase. On the road the Corolla is responsive, comfortable, and predictable. While some might think that steering-wheel mounted paddle shifters are a little much for an economy class leader, Toyota ﬁgures you might as well get some enjoyment out of the daily commute and have a vehicle at the end of the week that you still look forward to exploring the weekend with. Fuel economy is rated at 8.2 L/100 km city and 6.2 L/100 km highway (34

and 46 mpg respectively). The 50 L tank should deliver an operating range of over 625 km in mixed driving and run about $56 to ﬁll at $1.25/L. The folks at Kanata Toyota have welcomed a lot of new-to-Toyota customers buying the Corolla. As sales manager Dmitri Senkov puts it, “With its great sporty look and feel and with the latest technologies like LED headlights, backup camera, connectivity, etc., and an outstanding reliability record with great fuel economy, what’s not to like?”

A look at the new 2015 Toyota Corolla. This ‘S’ model is the 11th generation of the Corolla released by Toyota and features sleek lines as well as great function, good fuel economy. Submitted photo
