Hugh Colton is gearing up for the six-week Build a Mountain of Food campaign that services food banks across Lanark County and into Leeds Grenville.

With a new title sponsor, Hinton Auto Group, the 11th annual running of this colossal fundraising effort will kick off early next month with the official launch in Perth.

Colton has been busy lining up his stops and touching base with the hundreds of people who make this work.

“I couldn’t do this without the huge amount of support that I get,” he said from Smiths Falls Nissan, one of the four dealerships under the Hinton Auto Group umbrella.

The other three dealerships include Smiths Falls Ford, and in Perth, Hinton Dodge and A & B Ford.

“We’re really looking forward to this event,” said Kevin Hinton from Smiths Falls Nissan. “This is a great opportunity for us to be able to work with Hugh on this — whatever he needs, we will be there.”

Hinton said it was also a great opportunity for the Hinton Auto Group to get even more involved in the community and to work alongside those volunteers at filling the food bank shelves.

Colton said the campaign will start in Almonte and Carleton Place on Nov. 4, at the various grocery stores involved. Then they will break for a week to honour veterans and families on Remembrance Day. “We won’t be doing a collection on Nov. 11, which is a Saturday this year, so we can honour our vets,” Colton said. “We will pick it up the following week, Nov. 18, in Lanark and Perth.”

Then it’s off to Smiths Falls on Nov. 25, then into Elgin and Westport on Dec. 2, Portland and Merrickville on Dec. 9, and will finish in Athens and Delta on Dec. 16.

“We’ll also be recreating the float for three parades this year,” Colton said. “We’ll be in Carleton Place Nov. 25, Perth Dec. 2 and Smiths Falls Dec. 9.”

And something a little extra special this year will be an event in Portland during the drive weekend there.

“On Dec. 15, we’ll gather together for a Portland Community Christmas and have a family night,” Colton said.

“This night is dedicated to him.”

This is to honour Doug Good and Mike Carty, who were instrumental with Build a Mountain, and many other activities in their community. The former Rideau Lakes councillor Good, and his friend Carty, died in March this year when crossing the Big Rideau Lake in a vehicle that subsequently went through the ice. Both men drowned.

“Doug did a lot of work with me,” Colton said. “He was my go-to guy. Anything I needed, I just asked Doug and it all worked out. He was a great community volunteer and a good friend. Both men contributed to Build a Mountain, and in their community."

Over the past 10 years, the Build a Mountain of Food campaign has garnered over 720,000 pounds of food and $372,000 cash for the 11 food banks in this community.

Last year, the drive collected 164,695 pounds of food and nearly $109,000 in cash donations. That’s a far cry from its humble beginnings in Perth only where $3,200 cash was collected along with about 5,000 pounds of food.

“I’m humbled by the amount of tremendous community support that has happened from year one,” said Colton.

“People are so generous during this campaign because they know their donations will stay right in the community where it was given. People care. They understand there is a need and continue to fill those shelves every year.”

Please watch a future issue (or www.insideottawavalley. com) as more details about dates, places and times will be revealed, as we talk about the launch in a few weeks.

Actions for economic development plan coming The team leading the county-wide economic development strategic planning process is set to update stakeholders throughout the region at a meeting Oct. 5 at 1 p.m. in Lanark County Council chambers.

Valley Heartland Community Futures Development Corporation, Lanark County and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs are leading the process, and the leadership team is ready to provide a progress report and to see the draft action plans that have come from data analysis, local knowledge and stakeholder input. All economic development stakeholders throughout the region are invited to attend.

“We are well over the halfway mark in the process of developing the strategic plan,” says Stacie Lloyd, Regional Economic Development Officer for Valley Heartland. “The collaborative process began in May, and we are on track to have the plan completed in November with a roadmap to guide activities and help make decisions on future economic development programs and services for the county.”

All local municipalities have been taking part and driving the process through leadership teams and working groups consisting of more than 40 local business owners, retired business owners, hospital board members, politicians, municipal staff, economic developers and entrepreneurs. Broader participation has included interviews and an online questionnaire with community and economic development stakeholders throughout the region. More than 338 questionnaire responses were received from business owners, residents, a few students and more than 30 economic development/service or-

ganizations representing an even larger number of respondents.

“In addition to sharing their ideas of what makes Lanark County a great place to live, work and play, stakeholders provided excellent comments on areas to improve and ways to help Lanark County thrive,” Ms. Lloyd said. “The four dedicated working groups have been very engaged throughout the process, with the latest working group established to analyze stakeholder input and develop the evidence-based action plans for the plan.”

Common themes include support for entrepreneurs, business retention and expansion, planning for growth and investment, and foundational community economic development, with many areas of overlap and interconnectedness.

“We appreciate the thoughtful input from all respondents and the municipal leadership teams,” Ms. Lloyd added. “Their feedback has helped to identify strengths to build on, our competitive advantage, areas to focus efforts and common themes.”

“The input and collaboration of everyone involved in this process will go a long way to ensure we have a strong economic development strategic plan,” said Warden Bill Dobson (Montague Reeve). “I encourage stakeholders to come to the meeting on Oct. 5 to further contribute to the draft action plans for a strong economic future for our county.”

Updates on the strategic planning process can be found at http://valleycfdc.com/strategic-planning/. For more information, contact Ms. Lloyd at 613-283-7002 ext. 106 or e-mail EcDev@valleycfdc.com.

What if … you could produce your own power and sell it to the grid on a 20 year Government Contract for a profit? You can with the Ontario MicroFIT program which ends Dec 28, 2017.

This is the last chance to get paid actual cash for generating Solar electricity with the MicroFIT program. New customers need to apply by December 1, 2017 and get approved by the end of the year. Installation will be in the spring of 2018 in time for the summer’s sun.

If you have a large roof that is relatively shade free you could earn as much as $300 per month with a cost as little as $160 per month if amortized over 20 years.

At the end of the MicroFIT program you would own a solar energy system that is generating free electricity for your home.

October is Child Abuse Prevention Month

October is Child Abuse Prevention Month. On Tuesday, Oct. 24, communities across Ontario will dress in purple to break the silence and show their commitment to children’s rights to safety and well-being. On Dress Purple Day, we acknowledge that it takes a village to keep kids safe. Everybody in the community plays a role in supporting children’s rights.

Children’s aid societies will be working collaboratively during October for Child Abuse Prevention Month and Dress Purple Day with boards of education, key partners in supporting the safety and well-being of children and youth. Schools play an important role in keeping children safe and in helping families that may need support to help keep their children safe.

Family and Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds, and Grenville (FCSLLG) has invited all elementary and secondary schools in Lanark, Leeds, and Grenville to participate in Dress Purple Day on Oct. 24. We have asked school staff and students to dress in purple, talk about children’s rights to safety and well-being, and tweet a photo of the school/classes dressed in purple with the hashtag #iBREAKtheSilence.

On Oct. 24, FCSLLG will host a Dress Purple Barbecue event at both our Brockville (438 Laurier Blvd.) and Perth (8 Herriott St.) office locations between 11:30 and 1 p.m. FCSLLG staff, foster parents, school board personnel, and the media are invited to share a barbecue lunch together in support of Child Abuse Prevention Month.

About Family and Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds, and Grenville Child safety is our top priority. FCSLLG protects children so they can grow up safe from abuse, including physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, as well as neglect.

FCSLLG is a non-profit organization that serves children and families in the counties of Lanark, Leeds, and Grenville and their surrounding areas. We are commonly referred to as a child welfare services agency or a children’s aid society.

We have a role under the law.

We support families when they need it and, when required, take the necessary steps to make sure children are protected. We carry out our work under the Ontario Child and Family Services Act, which requires us to investigate possible abuse or neglect of children and ensure the safety of those who need protection.

SMITHS FALLS KIA

Presence of West Nile virus found locally in mosquitoes The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit has been actively monitoring mosquitoes for West Nile virus this season. Recent sampling has identified positive mosquitoes that carry the West Nile virus. Earlier this season, neighbouring health units including Ottawa, eastern Ontario (Cornwall) and KFLA (Kingston) Public Health have identified positive mosquitoes.

This virus is spread to humans by the bite of an infected mosquito. For most people, the risk of illness from West Nile virus is low. However, it can cause serious illness in others.

With the recent warm temperatures mosquitoes have remained active late in the season. The Health Unit recommends that you take the necessary precautions to protect yourself and your family from mosquito bites.

The following measures can help reduce the risk of West Nile virus: Apply insect repellents sparingly to exposed skin. Effective repellents contain Deet or Icaridin. Be sure to follow directions and use age appropriate concentrations. DO NOT USE

RECYCLE!

personal insect repellents on children under two years of age.

Wear light-coloured clothing, long pants and long sleeves, as well as shoes and socks during peak mosquito times to prevent mosquito bites.

Avoid being outside at dusk and dawn, as mosquitoes are most active at that time.

Use netting when sleeping outdoors or in an unscreened structure and to protect small babies from insect bites.

Repair or replace old and torn screens in doors, windows, and vents that no longer prevent mosquitoes from entering your home.

Consult your health care provider if you suspect that you have an insect transmittable disease such as West Nile virus.

More information regarding this disease and its symptoms can be found on our website http:// www.healthunit.org/westnile/. You can also call 1-800-660-5853 or connect with LGLHealthunit on Facebook and Twitter.

Challenge, change and conquer the message behind Take Back the Night

BY ASHLEY KULP

akulp@metroland.com

Lanark County Interval House (LCIH) executive director Erin Lee may be discouraged, but she’s not about to give up fighting for women and children in abusive situations.

Lee spoke during the organization’s annual Take Back the Night vigil and march in Carleton Place’s Town Hall Square Sept. 21. The event, a fixture in the town for 10 years, drew a large crowd who gathered to reflect on lives lost due to violence and protest harassment, sexual abuse and assault.

“Tonight, I reflect on what has happened since the 2015 Wilno murders, the murder suicides, the missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls and the most recent Ashley Kulp/Metroland attempt murder in Almonte on Sept. 20, 2017,” Lee said.

But things are starting to change, according to Lee. People are beginning to bring the topics of rape culture, protest unity, truth and reconciliation into the light by talking about them. “But more importantly, we’re taking action,” she said.

LCIH has taken action through partnerships to create mixed housing options in Lanark County for safe and affordable housing for women and children, as well as an upcoming video project with Algonquin College. Another successful initiative is the See it, Name it, Change it campaign launched by the organization and agency partners this past May.

Breast cancer causes and risk factors

Research into breast cancer has shown that its origins include a variety of potential causes and risk factors. Although many of them are biological and non-preventable, some others can be eliminated, prevented or controlled by changing certain lifestyle habits.

You can reduce the risk of developing breast cancer by changing some of your lifestyle habits.

Non-preventable causes The physical causes of breast cancer that have been identified are as follows: • Age (increased risk after the age of 50) • High breast density • A personal or family history of breast or ovarian cancer • Genetic mutations associated with the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes • Taking the postmenopausal hormones es­ trogen and progesterone • A history of benign breast disease (cysts, hyperplasia) • The early onset of menstruation or late onset of menopause

Preventable factors

On the other hand, some causes of breast cancer are closely related to personal lifestyle choices.

Here is a partial list: • Alcohol consumption • The use of oral contraceptives for several years • Physical inactivity (a sedentary lifestyle) • Excess weight and obesity in adulthood • Smoking and prolonged exposure to second­ hand smoke • Late pregnancy (after the age of 30) Please note that these risk factors are not all equally weighted. Get all the information you need about your particular circumstances before changing your lifestyle. It’s always a good idea to consult a health professional as well.

is simple – when you see an act of violence, speak out.

Lee noted the idea came about as a result of lives lost across three different counties in rural eastern Ontario. “…We teach our kids about fire and we tell them they’ve got to ‘stop, drop and roll,’ and it seemed to have worked in a lot of cases,” she elaborated on the reason behind the campaign’s name. “We need something to feed our kids. We need something to feed our aging communities and our elders. We need something to feed people to talk about at the dining room table, in our faith groups, on our streets…”

Only by naming an act or comment, can change be made.

“I know you see it. When you see it, I challenge you to name it and it’s hard. I had a conversation with one of our local politicians before the vigil started and it’s hard to know what to do, but we need to err on the side of safety. We need to err on the side of preservation of life. We need to take those chances and we need to take a stand.”

Since the launch, billboards have

$625

been erected in Lanark County, Lennox and Addington and Leeds-Grenville, a Facebook page has been created, along with radio ad spots and bumper stickers.

With all the positives, Lee said more needs to be done and “we must re-establish ourselves as a movement” and go forward with a unified voice.

“We need to forge ahead consistently and decide to navigate as ‘we,’ not ‘me’ and to invest in ‘us,’ not ‘you.’

We need to be an unstoppable movement with an insatiable appetite to challenge, to change and to conquer,” she commented. “When we listen, we can also be heard. When we speak united, our voice echoes further…and when our force becomes an army of courage, only then can meaningful permanent change happen.”

Attending the Take Back the Night march is one way to fight for women’s equality rights, but Lee said that alone isn’t enough. People must challenge themselves and ask what they desire their legacy to be.

“I speak to you tonight as a bi-racial woman who is a mother, a partner, a daughter, an auntie, a leader and an advocate,” she stated. “…Together, we must speak for those women currently

living in abusive situations, respect their fear and for crying out loud, can we just embrace it like it’s our own?

We need to recognize as friends and family and community members that when we know better, we do better.”

How can change happen? Lee said by challenging the systems and working alongside government leaders progress can be made. And LCIH will be there every step of the way.

“We must be shaken, we must be outraged and we must unite and work together if we’re going to make anything different,” she stressed. “I promise you that Lanark County Interval House, as long as I’m the ED, will remain vigilant in the fight to end all forms of violence against women and their children. We may encounter many defeats, but we must not be defeated. Alone, we are strong, but together we are unstoppable and united and I believe that we will never be defeated.”

In addition to a march down Bridge Street, the evening paid tribute to area women who lost their lives due to violence with a vigil that involved local residents and politicians placing flowers of remembrance in the Mississippi River.

COMMENTARY

When winning is losing

A

recent report from provincial police in Quinte West serves as a reminder to use caution when someone visits your home and is unknown.

We'd like to think that the vast majority of visitors/strangers do not have criminal motives, but it pays to be prepared for the exceptions.

An elderly homeowner reported to police that she had received a call from an unknown female who claimed the homeowner had won a $500 gift card, and that a representative would deliver the card.

An unknown male showed up later that day and presented a gift card, which police determined later was counterfeit and had no value. The homeowner reportedly overheard the male talking on his phone and saying that the residence has a lock box containing a key. The male then left the home.

The OPP release includes a description of the male and the vehicle he was

driving.

Anyone in this newspaper’s coverage area who receives a similar call might want to keep this story in mind and to resist any urge to welcome a stranger bearing gifts that are false.

Call provincial or municipal police in your community and share your experience to reduce the risk that others could become victims.

Even if you are not asked to pay in order to claim a prize (which is a red flag), allowing a stranger to visit your home to deliver something of which you had no prior knowledge might be an attempt by a criminal to "case the joint" and come back when you're not there to steal anything of value that is noticed during that initial visit.

There is something to the saying about some things being too good to be true.

As much as we like to win, there are some alleged prizes that just aren't worth it and that could end up costing a considerable amount in the long run.

other said I was old enough. There were many little chores I was already doing, like keeping the wood box full, and making sure the pan under the icebox didn’t overflow.

And now Mother said I was old enough to make butter! I was both delighted and annoyed. Delighted because this was a very important job, and annoyed because we always churned on Saturday morning, and this new chore was certainly going to cut into my playtime.

My sister Audrey, who up to then, was in charge of the churning, was more than happy to give it up. I certainly didn’t have to be taught how to do it. Goodness knows I watched

Audrey every Saturday, and to me, all I had to do was sit on a chair, with the churn between my knees, and plop the plunger up and down in the cream until I made butter.

It was an early Fall day when Mother announced that was the Saturday when I would take on this new chore.

The churn had been rolled into the kitchen, very carefully, because it was half full of cream, and a chair put in front of it. I was ready to begin. But Mother said I would have to put on a big pinny, and it didn’t take me long to find out why.

I had watched Audrey often enough to know that you simply grabbed the plunger with both hands and pumped until you could feel butter forming

and since I was so much shorter than Audrey, much of it hit me square in the eyes, and the front of the pinny was soon covered too. Audrey said going faster did nothing to hasten the butter. She was right... in the bottom of the churn. So I pulled up a chair, wrapped my bony knees around the churn, and began. Plop, plop, plop.

I speeded up the pace, figuring the faster I went, the sooner I would be finished.

The lid on the churn had a hole in the center big enough to give the plunger lots of room.

It didn’t take me long to find out why I had to don the big flour-bag pinny. The cream splashed up through the hole,

going to keel over in a heap on the kitchen floor.

And then it happened. The plunger was no longer splashing cream out the opening in the lid. It got heavier and heavier to pound, even Mother and Audrey who were doing other things in the kitchen, knew that the moment had come. They could tell by the sound! My arms felt like lead. Mother came over and lifted the lid, peered inside, and said, “Well, good for you, Mary. You have made your first batch of butter.”

The rest of the job would be up to my sister and Mother. With a big flat wood scoop, the butter was moved to the largest bowl we owned, and without measuring, Mother tossed in some salt. The butter was mixed and mixed until it was to Mother’s liking, and then pressed into the butter mold. Packed down until it was a solid mass, the butter was then released from the mold onto waxed paper. Audrey said it was exactly a pound when it came out.

It would be wrapped and put in the ice box, some of it peddled door to door in Renfrew, and the rest of it used on our own table.

I had never been so tired in my life. I went over to the creton couch by the stove, and stretched out, aching from top to bottom. I figured it was too soon to try to barter with my sister to change back to her making the butter, and me doing something that didn’t wear me down to a dishrag. Mother could see the state I was in, but instead of giving me sympathy she said, “each Saturday it will get easier. You’ll see.” I didn’t believe her for a minute.

And I wondered how long it would take for that feeling of accomplishment for a job well done that Mother always talked about, would hit me.

LETTER

Boating in the fall offers colourful vistas, quiet anchorages and excellent fishing but it is not without its challenges that necessitate self-sufficiency and taking some additional precautions to keep from running into trouble.

Before heading out, be sure to check the weather forecast. The mixing of warm and cold air can quickly spawn high winds and waves making it treacherous for small boats. Fog, too, is an issue at this time of year making visibility difficult. Should boaters find themselves in a fog bank, they should proceed slowly and sound their horn at regular intervals to alert other boaters of their presence.

Well into October, daytime temperatures can occasionally be balmy but dressing for the water temperature will help slow the onset of hypothermia should the unexpected happen and the boater find himself in the water.

Accidental cold water immersion can be shocking, but they shouldn’t panic. It may take a minute or so to get their breathing under control after the initial shock but they will have at least 10-15 minutes, even in very cold water, to affect self-rescue before they start to lose muscle control in their arms and legs. This is where an approved lifejacket, either inflatable or inherently buoyant, is an essential part of a

boater’s wardrobe to keep them afloat after they can no longer swim.

In the fall, there are fewer boats on the water to offer assistance, if needed. Boaters should be sure to leave a float plan with a responsible person on shore who will know what to do if they’re overdue. A marine radio or cell phone will allow them to call for assistance should the need arise. Having a few tools and spare parts aboard will also allow them to fix minor problems that might otherwise cause them to be stranded out on the water.

It’s important that boaters ensure that their boat and engine are in good shape and mechani-

cally sound. Ethanol-based fuel can allow water contamination in the tank. The use of a fuel additive prevents water in the fuel line from freezing which could cause the engine to chug to a halt. Fuel sold at marinas is ethanol free. If the boat has portable fuel tanks, it’s a good idea to have a spare on board as a reserve.

“Spectacular colours, peaceful solitude and the crispness of the air make boating in the fall a wondrous experience,” says John Gullick, chair of the Canadian Safe Boating Council.

campaign that has taken off from there. (See on YouTube: “Lyle Dillabough-Proud Canadians-studio version 2000”).

While doing an interview recently on a valley radio station the idea came to me to ask folks from all across the country to send in copies of their favourite photos, certificates, ticket stubs, documents, memorabilia, letters, stories and basically anything that can be copied, so we could compile it all into a book entitled, Proud Canadians – A People’s Perspective of Canada 150, or something to that effect. This would be a real reflection of Canadians, authored by Canadians, for Canadians.

What do you think?

We are also presently contacting local museums and historical societies across the nation seeking their assistance as well. And the response so far has been very good. Perhaps we could make this project a partial fundraiser for a national or several local, charity/charities?

Before I became ill, my travels throughout the country revealed that, in spite of all the advances in technology, many feel more isolated and powerless then ever before in their lives. They feel they no longer matter and everyone and everything is talking down to them.

A undertaking such as this (though small as it might be) serves to remind us all that it is the “every day people” who do the work, pay the taxes, fight the wars, care for one another and basically, “make it all happen.”

So please do send in your contributions. Remember, the item that you might think is not valuable is likely the very one that we are looking for.

Many homes do not have space for guest rooms, kids’ play areas and home theater lounges that are possible in homes with substantial square footage.

But they may not be missing out at all.

While large homes remain popular, many people are embracing the benefits of smaller residences. Small homes help homeowners save money, require less maintenance, have smaller environmental impact, and reduce the temptation to accumulate “stuff.”

Fall Edition 2017 One · Colour Scheme Are you looking for something light or dark?

Understated or with bold character? Choose the colour that best matches your decor from a wide variety of colours available in each species. For uniform hue and a clean look, opt for either “Select & Better” or “Premium” grades. If you enjoy more pronounced colour variation and wood with more character, you may prefer “Antique” or “Classic” grades.

Two · Species No other flooring option delivers the splendour, warmth and value of natural wood. Today there are countless colours available to choose from as well as different species, each with their unique characteristics. No matter the decor style of your home -- modern, contemporary, zen, rustic or urban -- today’s hardwood flooring manufacturers have something for every style and taste. Here are four key steps to consider, to create a unique centrepiece hardwood floor that’s custom tailored for any interior space from country home to urban loft.

Sustainable flooring options abound Flooring manufacturers and designers are embracing the green design and remodeling movement. Today there are many beautiful and sustainable eco-flooring options. Here are some of the more popular materials.

Bamboo Contrary to popular belief, bamboo is not a wood, but a grass. It is a fast-growing grass, and that makes it a smart choice in many design applications. Also, unlike wood, which will absorb moisture and can warp, bamboo repels water and can be used for flooring in areas where one wouldn’t think to put wood, such as in bathrooms, entryways or mudrooms. Bamboo is naturally very light in color, but can be stained in many different hues to give homeowners more options.

Cork Growing in popularity, cork is a material harvested from the bark of cork trees found in the forests of the Mediterranean. The bark grows back every three years, so it is a handy renewable resource. Cork boasts fire-retardant properties and may naturally repel insects. It can usually be stained to suit various color schemes.

Other options for green flooring include Rubber, Reclaimed Wood, and Green Carpeting. Eco-friendly flooring materials continue to evolve and can be smart choices in today’s homes.

From Red Oak, Hard Maple, Yellow Birch, White Ash, White Oak or Brazilian Cherry, each wood species has its own personality and distinct look (grades and width) that comes across in its maturity, hardness, and durability.

Three · Gloss Depending on the species, you can choose between a matte, semi-gloss and satin finish. A matte, semi-gloss finish tends to project a more formal atmosphere; whereas the natural look of a satin finish will feel more casual and better disguise wear and tear.

Four · Widths and Textures Wider planks, which are becoming increasingly popular, tend to create a more casual rustic appearance, while narrow planks are more formal. Manufacturers, are now offering 6-1/2” and even 7-1/4” boards in certain species. This is part of the emerging trend of the last few years where consumers are seeking more rustic looks for their hardwood flooring choices. Along with wider boards, another way this is achieved is with the latest use of different textures to give wood either a distressed look of barn wood, prominent knots or the natural lines of boards planed the old fashioned way.

Hunting trophies What would an authentic cottage home be without game trophies on display? Decorate your walls with faux animal mounts (deer, moose, bear, bison, etc.) made out of wood, cardboard, metal or plaster for a perfectly rustic look and feel.

Macramé design:

With the arrival of fall and its chillier days, the desire to remain bundled up at home often starts to take over. Do you wish to transform your interior into a comfortable and cozy space? Get inspired by cottage-style homes to infuse a touch of rustic appeal and warmth into your décor!

the 70s décor trend is back!

Varied textures To create a cozy nest, opt for throw pillows made of felt, faux fur or wool. Natural fabrics like linen and cotton are equally suitable.

Furthermore, choose hardwood furniture and accessories to create a look that’s 100 per cent authentic. When it comes to your walls and floors, don’t hesitate to mix concrete, wood and stone. Finally, pattern-wise, plaid and jacquard are perfect for achieving that cozy cottage feel.

In vogue since the 1970s, macramé is making a remarkable comeback in the interior design world. Today, this traditional practice of braiding and hand-knotting rope to create accessories for the home is being revisited to create trendy bohemian- and vintage-inspired designs.

Whether you make them yourself or scout for them in local artisanal shops, macramé designs are all unique in their own right. Eager to add a touch of macramé to your interior? Consider these potential creations for inspiration: • Lampshades • Potholders • Table runners • Pillows • Wall decorations ° Tapestries ° Dream Catchers • Headboards • Hanging baskets • Hanging mirrors

Soft lighting Warm colours For a soft, soothing atmosphere that will make your home more inviting, opt for neutral shades inspired by nature. Prioritize muted tones like white, beige, light grey, pewter or even black for your walls, accessories and furniture. Additionally, consider including hints of forest green, burnt orange or dark red to add depth to your décor.

Indirect lighting — fixtures that direct light upward to bounce off the walls and ceiling (e.g. sconces) — is the key to achieving a cozy ambiance reminiscent of faraway ski chalets. Make sure you install dimmers to be able to adjust the brightness of the room to your liking. You can also add multiple candles — opt for fragrant varieties that smell like pine, cranberry or pumpkin, for example — and scatter strings of lights around your fireplace or windows to bring a festive touch to your interior.

How to use chalkboard paint around the home

unfinished walls

However, an unfinished wall doesn’t necessarily equal a neglected décor! On the contrary, the rough aspect of the wall’s surface serves as the perfect backdrop for a space worthy of trendy loft apartments or prestigious ancestral homes.

Adding a coat of chalkboard paint is an easy way to refresh a space and give it personality without breaking the bank. Here are three rooms in the home where you can let your creativity run free!

THE KITCHEN

Apply chalkboard paint to the walls, the refrigerator or the pantry. Feel free to write out the week’s dinner menu, your grocery list, a delicious recipe or an inspiring quote!

THE OFFICE

Are you self-employed or in school? Chalkboard paint can help you keep your workspace organized. How? Create a giant calendar, record your appointments or make a list of daily tasks, for example.

THE PLAYROOM

Chalkboard paint is ideal if you wish to decorate your children’s playroom in a fun and original way. Paint an entire wall or trace big shapes and let your toddlers colour to their heart’s content!

kitchen designer?

The Butcher’s Block:

Whether you’d like to create a functional and elegant kitchen from the ground up or renovate your existing one so that it better meets your current needs, enlist the help of a kitchen designer. This renovation expert has more than one trick up his or her sleeve!

Kitchen designers are creative and detail oriented professionals with extensive knowledge of various industries and trades, including architecture, woodworking, plumbing, carpentry, electricity, masonry and, of course, interior design.

Thanks to the expertise of these talented individuals, you’re guaranteed a beautiful and functional kitchen tailored to your specific needs and style preferences. Why not take advantage?

a kitchen staple

With their sleek, satiny finish, black stainless steel appliances harmonize well with numerous materials and add a contemporary touch to virtually any style of décor. They’re especially perfect for adding character to modern, industrial and contemporary kitchen designs.

What’s more, many black stainless steel appliances are stain-resistant and therefore camouflage the appearance of unsightly fingerprints. They’re also very easy to clean: a quick wipe with a dry or damp cloth is enough to restore the surface’s shine!

A butcher’s block is a thick slab of solid wood that’s usually installed on a kitchen counter or island. Elegant, robust and durable, this versatile work surface can serve as both a cutting board and a serving platter. Contrary to what its name may suggest, a butcher’s block isn’t just for preparing cuts of meat!

A layer of finishing oil with antibacterial and stain-proofing properties is the key to maintaining a lustrous wooden butcher’s block. Carefully wash this handy piece of kitchen equipment after each use, and regularly apply a protective cream or oil according to the manufacturer’s recommended frequency.

A quality butcher’s block is a valuable tool to have in any home kitchen. Visit a local business that either sells kitchenware or manufactures wooden furniture to find the perfect butcher’s block!

Make a splash with

bold paint colours

Painting is one of the easiest and least expensive ways to transform the look of a space. Paint colours can dramatically change the mood and the design of a home. And depending on a homeowner’s goals, paint can make a statement or blend into the background.

Many people are now looking to bold colours to make spaces stand out. But choosing a paint colour can be challenging.

Homeowners looking to update walls and complement decor may want to look at some of the more impactful colours that Pantone indicates will be popular for the 2017 season. Primrose Yellow, Lapis Blue, Flame, Pink Yarrow, and Greenery are some of the more eye-catching selections. Once colours are selected, consider these guidelines for using bolder colours in room designs.

Decide how big an impact you want to make

Stick to boldness on interchangeable items

Are you looking for colour overload or just a small focal point of vivid colour? Remember, using bold colour doesn’t mean every wall must be lathered in that hue.

Instead, select one wall to serve as an accent point and use that spot as your bold colour display. Otherwise, rely on bold colours to dress up otherwise mundane areas, such as the back wall of a cupboard or mouldings and trim.

Those who like to experiment with colour may find that they like to switch out the colours now and again. Instead of having to repaint every few months, use decorative items in bright shades to make swapping out colour that much easier.

For example, replace area rugs, throw pillows and draperies.

Paint over terra cotta flower pots when the mood strikes.

Try bold in a small space Many people are surprised at how well bold colours work in small spaces. Powder rooms can be an ideal spot to experiment with paint colours. Try deep colours that can make the area seem intimate and even exotic. Dark, bold hues can be toned down by different accents, such as neutral coloured fixtures and towels.

Establish balance Rely on neutral furniture, rugs, mouldings and baseboards if you decide to take bold colours up a notch. This will help create a sense of balance in the room.

Go bold in the kitchen Incorporate a splash of colour in the kitchen without going overboard. Try an appliance or design fixture in a bright shade. Or paint the inside of the cabinets in your favourite colour and install glass inserts in the cabinet doors so that everyone gets a peek of the colour beyond.

A neutral kitchen also can be brightened up with the use of silverware, dishes, pots and pans, and other kitchen items featured in bold hues.

North America’s Roll Shutter, Awning and Shade Specialist

The fun part…

Center template onto plaque. Keep paper taut and start hammering nails into alternating points of the starburst. Continue adding nails approximately half an inch apart all around the outer edges of the starburst and letter.

Use household tweezers to help remove paper template from plaque. The tweezers will help with any tiny paper scraps that are caught in between nails.

Applying the string (heavy thread). To start, tie string in a double knot to the point of one nail. Trim excess string from the end. Keep string taut and start wrapping around nails, making sure to not cross over any negative space within the monogram. Once you feel that you have covered the surface of your art with enough string so the letter is nicely defined, you’re ready to finish. To do that, pick an end point, preferably one on the outside of the project, then tie a tight knot around the nail.

TIP: Make sure it’s tied nice and tight so your project doesn’t come unraveled.

MEMPHIS DESIGN Is your home décor in need of a drastic change? If you’re a fan of the extravagant 80s, then Memphis design may be just the cure for your drab interior. Read on to discover the secrets of this eccentric décor trend that’s making a big comeback.

What is Memphis style?

Introduced in 1981 by the renowned designer Ettore Sottsass and his Memphis Group — an Italian design and architecture collective that brought together the decade’s most prominent visionaries — this style is anything but bland. Characterized by bold, colourful furniture and accessories, Memphis-style interiors push the boundaries of eclectic design to create a truly unique aesthetic.

Here are some tips to help you transform your home into a playful space where Memphis design is in the spotlight: • Choose bright colours that will give your home personality. Opt for canary yellow, electric blue, cotton candy pink, scarlet red and lime green when it comes to your cushions, tables, carpets, lamps and accessories, for example.

• Prioritize stripes, polka dots, abstract designs and zigzags. Choose accessories, furniture and wallpaper with bold patterns and designs.

• Incorporate a variety of geometric shapes: squares, rectangles, circles, polygons, triangles, etc. These details are key elements of the Memphis trend, and they also confer structure and rhythm to your interior.

• Vary textures and materials to highlight the whimsical quality of Memphis design. Include plastic, wood, marble or metal to add depth to your décor.

Four things to consider when It’s all about the copper! shopping for bar stools In the market for bar-style seating for your kitchen’s island or peninsula? With so many different models available on the market, making the right choice can prove quite difficult. To find the perfect stools for your specific needs, consider the following criteria.

One · The height

Four · The style

To avoid having to lug your bar stools back to the store because they’re either too high or too low, make sure to have the exact measurements (height, width and depth) of your counter or table on hand.

Knowing the size and configuration of your space will make choosing the right height a lot easier. Don’t forget to leave some wiggle room — approximately 25 centimetres — between the counter and the stool.

Opt for bar stools that complement your existing décor. If your interior is cozy and rustic, choose stools made of wood or other organic materials. On the other hand, if your home’s design is modern and minimalist, opt for bold, colourful plastic seats. Finally, prioritize brushed steel and synthetic fibres for a more industrial look, and artificial leather or quilted fabric for a more sophisticated appeal.

Two · The seat Do you prefer bar stools with or without a backrest? As you consider your options, keep in mind their intended use. If you have children and anticipate using your bar stools on a daily basis, seats with a backrest are undeniably more comfortable. On the other hand, seats without a backrest can easily slide under the counter or table and are thus less cumbersome — a positive feature if you have limited space.

A versatile metal, copper is widely used in numerous industries (agriculture, transportation, telecommunications, healthcare, architecture, art, design, etc.). Equally popular in interior design, copper is favoured for its authentic character that can be either minimalist or glamorous in style. Read on to find out how to bring this sophisticated metal into your home!

Furniture and accessories Copper (or copper alloy) is used in the manufacturing of countless décor items and practical household objects. By visiting speciality retailers in your region, you can find light fixtures, mirrors, clocks, potholders, kitchen utensils and office equipment, among a myriad of other items, that feature the metal with varying prominence. In terms of furniture, your options are just as varied. Copper-accented Since copper has a tendency to tarnish end tables, chairs, shelves and with time, your favourite décor items may stools, for example, add warmth become discoloured as the years go by. to any interior. Are you crazy for If you like the old-fashioned look of vintage copper? Opt for copper handles designs — which happen to be in vogue this on your bathroom or kitchen year — then all the better! However, if you’d cabinets, and install a faucet prefer to restore your copper accessories’ with a matching finish. original lustre, simply sprinkle a lemon wedge with salt and gently rub it against your tarnished items. Rinse well with lukewarm water, and you’re done!

Lustrous or oxidized?

Three · The base Bar stools generally fall into one of two categories: stools with four legs or stools with one central leg. The first option is very popular as it provides excellent stability; however, you can generally adjust the height of the latter, which makes it equally practical and stylish.

Cabin temperatures can affect electric vehicles' driving range “Hi Brian, I'm by no means a car girl, but I do enjoy your column.

In all the discussion about electric vehicles, one subject I've never seen/ heard mentioned is how much cabin heating or AC affects mileage. Perhaps your resources can fill us in.”

Cheers, Ruth Thanks for the kind words and readership. Yes, electric vehicles’ (EV) HVAC systems can reduce driving range. It’s hard to put an accurate figure on it, because it depends on the driver’s preferences for cabin temperatures and fan speeds. As their heat sources don’t use engine coolant (as traditional vehicles do), they supply much drier air, reducing the amount of condensation on the interior of the windshield, rear and door glasses.

EV heaters are also very efficient and provide almost instant warmth when they’re switched on. Their AC systems, however, are much like gasolinepowered vehicles.

From EV drivers I’ve met and spoken with at various EV shows, you can expect to lose about 15 to 20 per cent

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

driving range in winter — partially because of heater use and mainly because of the operating temperatures of the drive batteries.

If you want maximum winter range with an EV, then dress for the occasion (warmly), so you can keep the heater use at a minimum. The same applies in summer for AC use.

A customer concern came across my desk recently that highlights some of the misconceptions and risks involved in certain vehicle modifications. Apparently an off-roader recently purchased a new SUV from an authorized dealership and arranged to have a vehicle lift kit installed (at that same retailer) to improve ground clearance and allow for larger-than-

original-equipment tires.

This is a common modification that a lot of truck and SUV owners have performed on their rides to convert them from ‘soft-road’ to true ‘offroad’ utility vehicles. The problem with this particular case was that the kit was incorrectly installed, leading to brake line and exhaust pipe damage. As well, the installation kit made no allowance for the change in angles of the driveshafts connected to the SUV’s transfer case. And the steering geometry and settings were far from perfect. According to this consumer, the dealership refused to complete the needed repairs, leading to them looking to the appropriate Ontario industry council (Ontario Motor Vehicle Industry Council) for redress.

Vehicle lift kits come in a wide variety of configurations, with the most popular falling in the two-inch to fiveinch range. On most SUVs, if a kit with any more than three inches to 3.5 inches is installed without making allowances for driveshaft angle changes, the amount of stress placed on the transfer case may quickly reduce it to scrap due to bearing failures. A good

quality kit from a credible manufacturer will include components to accommodate these angles to ensure long life and reliability (when properly installed).

The most common misconception that consumers have in cases like these is that if it’s supplied and installed by an automaker’s authorized dealership, it won’t have any effect on the vehicle’s warranty. Nothing could be further from the truth. All carmakers include clauses in their warranty documents to consumers that deny coverage on any component or system when the failure can be directly attributed to the installation of a nonapproved part, regardless of who supplied and/ or installed it.

This leaves the customer to deal directly with the auto retailer or the kit supplier and seldom is this an easy or satisfying experience.

Even if either of these two parties supplies their own written guarantee, if it’s not properly backed in financial terms and/or comes with an arbitration mechanism when things go wrong, it’s not worth the paper it’s written on.

Ireland’s Newgrange ancient is an engineering marvel My son Craig and I are just home after spending nearly two weeks in Ireland (south and north) and England. This was our second father-son overseas getaway in as many years although this excursion was far busier than our 2016 junket to England.

The morning after our arrival home I was in the kitchen brewing tea. I could hear Kathleen asking her son about his experiences overseas.

“If you were going to choose the best thing you did during the trip what would it be,” she inquired.

Craig didn’t have to think about it.

“The visit to Newgrange. That was my favourite,” he quickly replied.

Unless you are into Neolithic history it is unlikely you have ever heard of Newgrange. It is a so-called “passage tomb” that was constructed in what is now County Meath in the Republic of Ireland. The prehistoric monument stands high above the River Boyne some five miles (eight kilometres) west of the City of Drogheda. By road it is an hour north of the Irish capital Dublin, where we were staying.

Newgrange is the best known among the numerous passage tombs in Ireland which also include nearby monuments called Knowth and Dowth. Other sites located in the Boyne Valley are Fourknocks, Loughcrew and Tara. The latter, located high atop the Hill of Tara near the Town of Navan, was also a stop on our tour the

Reflections

BY JEFF MAGUIRE

day we visited Newgrange. It’s a much smaller tomb but the impressive views from the Hill of Tara, which according to tradition was the seat of the High King of Ireland, were spectacular on a clear late afternoon.

Newgrange, along with Knowth and Dowth, are UNESCO World Heritage sites. Newgrange stands out because of its age. The structure dates from 3200 BC meaning it predates both Stonehenge in England (which Craig and I visited last year) and the Egyptian pyramids.

Knowth and Dowth, although impressive examples of this type of construction, date from between 2500 and 2000 BC. Ireland has more than a thousand Megalithic tombs which fall into four different categories. It is really quite remarkable and attests to just how long people have inhabited the island.

Most incredible of all is the construction capabilities and engineering skills of those ancient people. Using what we today would consider rudimentary tools, combined with brute

strength and endurance, they have built monuments which are impressive by any standard.

The scale of Newgrange, which over the course of many centuries became buried in the Irish countryside, is awe inspiring. It was rediscovered in 1699 by a land owner who had ordered his farm labourers to excavate what, at the time, appeared to be a large mound on the hillside.

Site restored Over the course of more than 200 years and culminating with major excavations led by Irish archeologist and professor Michael J. O’Kelly in the 1960s and early 1970s the entire structure was revealed and the front restored. The large mound is approximately 80 metres (262 feet) in diameter.

It’s believed the original mound stood 11-13 metres high. The base is surrounded by 97 large “kerb” stones.

The most impressive of these is the highly decorated entrance stone. The site is also ringed by a wider stone circle. In total the mound contains an incredible 200,000 pounds of material. The only open sections are the entrance passage and the inner burial chamber.

Because we took an organized tour from Dublin, Craig and I and our fellow passengers were actually able to enter the massive structure. Just 24 people at a time are permitted inside

due to the close confines. We entered in single file amid cries of “mind your head” from our tour guide. If you’re claustrophobic Newgrange isn’t for you. The long passage isn’t only low, it is also very narrow. One place is so tight that you have to turn sideways to get through. People of ample dimensions are advised to remain outside.

Electric lights were added in the 1950s to allow visitors to find their way along the passageway.

Excavations have proven Newgrange was a burial place. But sadly because it was wide open for so many years (the site wasn’t formally protected by the government until 1882) much of what was originally inside the chamber was carried away by souvenir hunters.

There were 43 people on our tour and we were in the second group to enter the more than 5,000 year old structure. In typical Irish fashion, what had been a sunny day suddenly turned nasty. The wind carried a sharp shower across the green, rolling, rural landscape. Our rainwear and umbrellas were put to good use. We were glad to be summoned inside.

Once we navigated the passageway and stood in the chamber our guide, with the very Irish name Mary Ryan, demonstrated what archeologist O’Kelly discovered in 1967. He uncovered the so-called “roof box” which is perfectly aligned so that at the time of

the Winter Solstice in December the light of the rising sun enters the roof box and penetrates the passageway, shining onto the floor of the inner chamber. The sunlight illuminates the chamber for just 17 minutes.

Our demonstration was done using electric light but it was intriguing none the less.

Studies completed in 1972 revealed that the Winter Solstice orientation of the site was so sophisticated that Newgrange could be used to determine the exact day of solstice.

The roof box is built in such a way that it maximizes the accuracy and length of the light beam entering the chamber.

Similar to Stonehenge in England the large stones used to complete Newgrange came from many miles away. It’s believed they were floated on rafts using the country’s river system and then hauled bodily to the site.

It has also been determined construction of the mound would have taken a workforce of 300 people up to 30 years to complete.

Little wonder my son was impressed! Newgrange and many other burial mounds in Ireland are truly remarkable examples of ancient engineering skill and construction methods. They are well worth a visit.

Catholic School Board trustees hear of Summer Learning Program For the past eight summers, the CDSBEO has had the opportunity to offer a Summer Learning Program for primary students in a number of our schools. The program focuses on building literacy and numeracy skills, while integrating physical activity, the arts and recreation, as well as coding and robotics instruction, which was added this year.

The Council of Ontario Directors of Education (CODE) continues to co-ordinate and provide funding and leadership for these summer programs.

Principal of Curriculum, Brent Bovaird, along with teacher Paula Hart, presented an overview of the benefits of the Summer Learning Program to the Board of Trustees.

The program is intended to support students in the primary grades who would benefit from engaging and interactive literacy and numeracy instruction during the summer months.

In conjunction with the summer learning program, a significant research study is in place to examine the factors that minimize summer learning loss, and close the achievement gap.

Key components of the program included opportunities for students to: increase their literacy and numeracy skills, develop social skills through small peer group interaction, and enhance leadership and mentorship skills.

“The programs provide continuity and supported literacy, numeracy and school readiness,” explained Mr. Bovaird. “The learning environment is fun and positive, with low teacherpupil ratios and engaging materials such as field trips and experiential opportunities, classroom guests, computer technology, manipulatives, and

varied text forms.”

Each year, students in the Summer Learning Program complete STAR testing, which measures their reading and numeracy level upon entering the program. Students are then revisited by board staff in September to complete the testing again which allows for an analysis of how well the program helped students to retain academic skills over the summer months.

The program was held at five CDSBEO school locations, with 173 students from grades 1, 2, and 3 participating for four weeks during the month of July.

“Students had the opportunity to learn about self-regulation, breathing techniques to help manage emotions, and elements of spiritual meditation through weekly yoga classes,” noted teacher Paula Hart. “The experiences offered through the program also helped to engage learners with community experiences, Indigenous teachings, and history through handson opportunities.”

Information and Communication Technology Update The CDSBEO has invested heavily in capacity, reliability and equipment relating to Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Through a strong partnership with Microsoft, ICT has established a solid infrastructure where students and teachers seamlessly integrate cloud tools in the classroom to help meet curriculum expectations. This infrastructure has allowed the Board to leverage cloud technologies, such as Microsoft Office 365.

James Proulx, manager of ICT, presented an update to the Board on all of the recent progressive and innovative changes taking place with

regard to Board technology, partnerships and recent upgrades.

One of the Board’s largest partnerships is with Microsoft, whose software helps to manage more than 7,000 devices, 150 servers, and 100 software titles for nearly 15,000 users in schools and administrative offices.

“Microsoft has a complete ecosystem from the back end all the way to the desktop,” explained Mr. Proulx.

“These tools help to control our infrastructure, such as malware tools, business systems, video conference, and desktop software including office 2013 and 2016.”

“Our partnership with Microsoft has also streamlined the migration to Microsoft cloud based storage, software services, and infrastructure services.”

In addition, CDSBEO provides office products including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote to students and teachers in the cloud via Office 365. Students and teachers have access to five free downloads of Office 2016.

In 2013, the CDSBEO and the KPRDSB (Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board) submitted a proposal to the Ministry of Education and COSBO (Council of Senior Business Officials) for a provincial cloud based software delivery solution for schools.

The proposal led to a pilot of eight school boards that participated in a three-year pilot program which received $700,000 provided by the ministry and COSBO. The pilot has now expanded to 30 participant boards and over 400 software titles. The solution, which is now self-sustaining, is currently overseen by the shared technology services

advisory committee, which has been chaired by James Proulx since July 2016.

“We have internal partnerships with our departments, and these partnerships allow for the technology to be successful in our schools,” noted Mr. Proulx.

“We have also worked diligently to ensure adequate internet access at all sites, and we are about to deploy new firewall to make this service even better.”

The CDSBEO is currently piloting Windows 10 at three school sites. The implementation of the newer operating system will allow schools to offer students seamless Office 365 integration.

CDSBEO Appoints Director of Education The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario is pleased to announce the appointment of John Cameron, as its new Director of Education for the Board, effective Jan. 1, 2018. Mr. Cameron, who was appointed to the position on Sept. 19 by the Board of Trustees, is currently the Associate Director of Education, with responsibilities that include supervision of Catholic schools in the Cornwall area.

Board chair, Todd Lalonde says that Mr. Cameron has a long-standing career in Catholic education. “Mr. Cameron’s dedication to Catholic education cannot be questioned. He has demonstrated for many years, his dedication to ensuring that students have the opportunity to flourish in a faith-filled learning environment. He is a strong advocate for our beliefs and values and I look forward to working closely with him in this new role.”

Over his 26 year career as an educa-

tor, Mr. Cameron has held positions including secondary teacher, viceprincipal, principal, superintendent and most recently Associate Director of Education. His career began at St. Joseph’s Catholic Secondary School in Cornwall where he taught religious education. During his time as an administrator, Mr. Cameron has gained experience overseeing the Religious and Family Life Education Department, the International Education program, the Adult and Continuing Education program, and the Student Success portfolio.

He has acted as a mentor and guide for the CDSBEO Catholic student trustees, and as key facilitator for the CDSBEO parent involvement committee. Mr. Cameron earned his Masters of Education from the University of Ottawa.

Director of Education, Wm. J. Gartland expressed his confidence in the appointment. “Our Board has benefited greatly from Mr. Cameron’s participation in planning for the needs of our system in his current capacity as Associate Director of Education. I know that he will bring that same level of passion to this new position.”

Mr. Cameron expressed his gratitude. “I am honoured to have been given this opportunity. Our Board has seen much success under the direction of retiring Director of Education Wm. J. Gartland, and I look forward to building on those successes as I take on this exciting role. Over the years, I have enjoyed working with the Board of Trustees in my capacity as superintendent and associate director, and I look forward to continuing to work with them to nurture the hearts, minds, bodies and souls of our students.”

More Fire Prevention Tips!

• Get your central heating system cleaned, inspected and serviced by a certified HVAC (heating, venting and air conditioning) contractor every year before using it.

• Wood burning stoves should be examined and the flue and chimney checked for creosote buildup.

• Remove fuel from lawn mowers before storing them for winter.

• Don’t store cardboard boxes, paper or other flammable materials in the backyard. These materials provide ready fuel for a fire and all it takes is one spark.

• Testing and maintenance requirements that apply to smoke alarm now apply to CO alarms For more helpful tips visit: www.mcscs.jus.gov.on.ca/ english/FireMarshal/OFM_main.html This message was brought to you by the

Chase scenes that defy the laws of physics and reason. A maniacal villain with a diabolical plan, and Sir Elton John.

This is how you do a larger-than-life spy flick.

Eggsy (Taron Egerton) has a run-in with Charlie (Edward Holcroft). Back from the dead and with a cybernetic arm Charlie attempts to kill Eggsy.

Eggsy escapes, and the whole thing looks like simple revenge until every Kingsman facility, front, and agent is blown up in missile strikes. Leaving only Eggsy and Merlin (Mark Strong).

With no other options Merlin and Eggsy open the doomsday vault. Inside is a bottle of Statesman whiskey, and a clue that leads them to Kentucky. There they find their cousin organization The Statesman. They meet agents Tequila (Channing Tatum), Ginger Ale (Halle Berry), Whiskey (Pedro Pascal) and their leader Cham-

No longer the hero in training, now just the hero.

I must admit Colin Firth is my favourite. He's so far removed from Hollywood's stereotypical action hero, yet he's so smooth and natural in the role. I could watch him teach manners all day.

The Golden Circle is all kinds of fun. A must-see film for sure.

BarnDoor Productions 23rd season opener, A Perfect Likeness, teams David Bird (left as Scrooge in BDP’s December 2016 A Christmas Carol) and Connor Williamson (right as Last Duel survivor John Wilson in BDP’s June 2016 The Last Deadman) as Charles Dickens and Lewis Carroll. All of the details are at www.barndoorproductions.ca.

Laughter, fun and fireworks create 'A Perfect Likeness' Combine a vibrant new script with a talented and experienced cast and you're going to get interesting results.

Make it a two-person play about two of the most important writers of all time and it's going to be memorable.

Make it a show from Perth's BarnDoor Productions and real entertainment is going to happen.

A Perfect Likeness is a new play

by Daniel Rover Singer. Singer is one of the three writers of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) which was a huge hit for BarnDoor Productions several years ago — a 90-minute romp through all of Shakespeare's plays, culminating with a high-speed backward version of Hamlet.

A Perfect Likeness is a different beast from the madcap Complete Works. It finds its laughs (and there are lots of them) in the minds of its two characters: Charles Dickens and Charles Dodgson. If Dickens is "the man who invented Christmas," then Dodgson might as easily be known as "the man who invented childhood" — in the form of his alter ego Lewis Carroll. Between the two of them, they created our mind's-eye vision of what Victorian England was all about.

Singer's play is a fiction. Taking the two known facts that Dodgson was an avid photographer and that he once asked Dickens' publisher for his home address (they had the same publisher), Singer has created a fast-paced, fiery story of what might have happened had Dodgson requested that Dickens visit to sit for a photograph. From there, it's an exploration of the characters of each of the famous authors, with lots of surprises and turns on the way.

The show, which started in a workshop production in Winston-Salem, N.C., has garnered praise as it has gained reputation. "The power of the play is in the fireworks that fly," said the Los Angeles Theatre Review.

Broadway World (Los Angeles) said it was "suffused with joy, laughter, love of language and the spirit of fun," while the Winston-Salem Journal said

it was "so lovely and entertaining that you want it to be true."

To successfully bring these two giants of literature to life, BarnDoor Productions has paired two of the area's strongest performers, and their energy, even in early rehearsals, is infectious. Connor Williamson is a young Perth performer who already has two summers of experience with the Classic Theatre Festival, as well as roles in a number of BarnDoor shows, behind him. David Bird is a stalwart whose history with BarnDoor Productions goes back to their first production. Bird has become the area's premiere performer of Dickens, especially of A Christmas Carol, and now, he gets a chance to play Dickens himself.

A Perfect Likeness is just the first show in BarnDoor Productions' 23rd season. The December production, Cinderella, and the February production, Panto Can Be Murder, are the front- and backstage versions of the same performance: see the first with your kids for lots of laughs (including laughs for adults), then see the second to find out the dark secrets happening backstage. Then, in April, another new play, The Taming by Lauren Gundersen, takes a pair of jagged scissors to American politics, beauty pageants and Shakespeare.

BarnDoor is also lining up their 2018 summer series, with the classic farce Charley's Aunt set for June and, in August, Willm Shaksper, a new play about the life of the man who became the Bard of Avon, with a yet-to-beannounced play for July.

All of the details of BarnDoor's 23rd season are online at www.barndoorproductions.ca, along with ticket reservations and info on season subscriptions, as well as information on all the events at Perth's Full Circle Theatre.

A Perfect Likeness runs Oct. 13, 14, 19, 20, 21 at 8 p.m. and Oct. 15 and 22 at 2 p.m. at Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig St., Perth, near Last Duel Park.

There is no better place in Lanark County to witness the panoramic spectacle of fall colours than from the summit of Blueberry Mountain.

This singularly beautiful display of nature remains central to our upcoming event on Sunday, Oct. 1, but it will be enriched this fall by the opportunity to learn about the ancient plants and geological features that made cliffLAND special.

Ecologist Dr. Paul Keddy recently visited Blueberry Mountain and added to our understanding of its history.

Nearby Flower Round Lake is known to have been formed 9,500 years ago with a surrounding terrain of postglacial herbaceous plants and small shrubs, followed by pine and spruce forest, and then some 7,500 years ago deciduous trees such as maple, beech and oak had moved in to form our present day forests.

But on Blueberry Mountain and similar large high ridges where trees cannot grow, those postglacial cliff and rock barren plants can still be found — such as bearberry, bristly sarsparilla, rusty weedsia fern, bastard toadflax, pinweed and cowwheat. These plants are part of an ancient ecological community hearkening back so many centuries.

On Sunday, Oct. 1, at our annual Blueberry Mountain Fall Colours Walk, you are invited to join the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust not only for the spectacular views of a brilliant vista of colour, but also to learn about the unique features that define this geographic location. Registration is at 10 a.m. A donation of $10 per person is requested and children 12 and under are free. Children under 12 will be awarded certificates for making the climb. Refreshments will be served after the walk.

Blueberry Mountain is located at 502 Hills of Peace Rd. near Flower Station in Lanark Highlands. Drive north of Lanark on Highway 511 to Brightside. Turn left on to the French Line Rd. Drive toward Flower Station and watch for the right turn when

Wildlife in your woods: 50 Million Tree Program offers site visits to landowners Want to see more wildlife on your land? Since 2007, Forests Ontario has been helping landowners to attract more “nature” to their land with the 50 Million Tree Program. Over the life of this program, more than 22 million trees have been planted on private land, and most landowners have cited the attraction of wildlife as their prime reason for signing up with the program. Landowners with a minimum of 2.5 acres (one hectare) of plantable land may be eligible for this generous tree planting incentive program.

“Many trees provide pollen and

nectar for bees and other pollinators early in the spring before fruit trees and plants flower. Adding trees to my land was beneficial for my bees, and trees are also important because they provide homes for nesting birds and animals,” says Forests Ontario green leader Karin Tomosky.

Animals large and small can benefit from the presence of trees, which provide a potential food source, as well as protection from predators and severe weather. Expanding the tree cover on a property can create habitat for wildlife — and can quickly start to attract birds, small mammals and pollinators.

Fall is prime time for the planting partners to visit landowners to evaluate their properties for the 50 Million Tree Program. Interested landowners should act now to set up a site visit.

This allows time for site preparation before trees are planted in the spring.

Plant trees on your land — give wildlife a leg up — and help Ontario plant 50 million trees by 2025. To find out more about the 50 Million Tree Program and to submit an application, please visit forestsontario. ca/50MTP. For additional questions, contact the forestry outreach co-ordinator,

As well, forested riparian (shoreline) areas are important for their combination of improving water quality, reducing stream-bank erosion and providing cover to a host of land and aquatic creatures.

Through the 50 Million Tree Program, landowners are able to access funding support of up to 75 per cent of total planting costs as well as ongoing forest management assistance.

A local planting partner — an experienced forestry professional — will work with you to create a plan that suits your property’s unique needs and help improve the value of your land.

About 50 Million Tree Program Forests Ontario administers the Ontario government’s 50 Million Tree Program, part of the United Nations Billion Tree Campaign. The United Nations' goal is to plant one billion trees worldwide each year. Ontario is committed to plant 50 million trees by 2025. The 50 Million Tree Program is designed to reduce the costs to landowners of large-scale tree planting and thereby increase the number of trees planted across the province.

Second rocky ramp coffer dam suffers ‘full failure’

keeping it local and canadian for over 40 years

BY DESMOND DEVOY

& so much more

The coffer dam at the second rocky ramp experienced a “full failure” on Friday, Sept. 22, resulting in a sudden deluge of water down the Tay Canal.

“It completely failed,” said Grant Machan, the Town of Perth’s environmental services director, during an interview at his town hall office on the afternoon of Monday, Sept. 25. “The coffer dam failed. A full failure.”

Machan believes that there was a “sudden rip or tear” in the dam, which occurred about 5:10 p.m.

Shortly afterwards, “an eight foot wall of water went over the old Haggart Dam,” he said, calling it “a large deluge of water.”

“Our municipal staff responded right away,” said Machan. Town staff notified the town’s contractor, and “we started to fill up the void … to drive up the water levels.”

They were finished their work around 10 p.m. that day.

The burst “stirred up sediment in the river,” so a call was placed to the Spills Action Centre in Toronto, who, in turn, contacted the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and other relevant bodies.

So far, according to Machan, “we are not aware of any damage,” downstream, and he hopes to “get the project back on line. Our interest is to finish this second rocky ramp this fall.”

He added that “we are investigating and the manufacturer (of the dam) is involved.” The dam itself was used before in the creation of the first rocky ramp dam at the end of Thom Street, and both times “it was installed as per manufacturer’s specifications,” he said. “The bag was actually built for this side,” of the river, he said. “We started the project early,” so he anticipates that it will be completed within a month’s time of work resuming, and there should be no adverse financial costs to the town for the delay.

All of the material has been left on site, and in the water, for further investigation.

Perth and District Collegiate Institute enjoys 60-year class reunion This past weekend, a remarkable event was held in Perth: the reunion of the 1955 to 1959 graduating classes. The idea was sparked when Perth and District Collegiate Institute (PDCI) held a 50-year reunion for the graduating class of 1957. Head girl and head boy, Josie (Rubino) Roberts and John Quigley, of the 1957 graduating class attended this event with many of their classmates and the idea of a 60th anniversary was hatched. In February 2017, Josie called John for a brunch on a Sunday morning to chat about the fun of all at the 2007 reunion, and that the 60th reunion had to be on — as neither would bet on the viability of a 70th anniversary reunion. And so, the organizing committee was formed and co-chaired

by Josie (Rubino) Roberts and John Quigley,

with Joan Peckett, Gwen Caswell Forrest, Bob Parks, Mary (Rubino) Tysick and Betty McLellan as members.

This time, the committee decided to expand the invitations to include other graduating years, which allowed others to attend from that era with three things in common — all are over 75 (excluding spouses), went to PDCI in the ‘50s and are coming to reminisce and party. And, the result: 15 of the 20 graduates of the 1957 graduating class are attending — three from the west coast. In addition, many others from the era decided to come as well. As a result, overall, there were 85 participant’s over the whole weekend attending one or more of the events.

The meet-and-greet at the Parkside Inn on Friday was attended by many, coming from

all across Canada. On Saturday afternoon, there was an open house at John and Wynn Quigley’s on Otty Lake, with munchies and boat rides for all. Three boats took a variety of tours around this historic lake. This was followed by a dinner at the Stone Cellar, called Harry’s Café in the participants’ youth. A very popular spot to gather in the olden days.

This was a great gathering of the “elders” of our generation; people who came from the Perth area, with many of their parents active as merchants, farmers and leaders in Perth and the surrounding townships. Can you remember Rubino’s IGA, Quattrocchi’s Fruit and Vegetables, Thornbury’s and Girdwood’s Apothecaries, Barr’s Esso, Perkin’s Motors, Drysdale Dry Goods, as well as our

industries — Jergen’s, Perth Shoe, Code Felt, Wampole’s, Taggart Transport — and many other businesses too numerous to mention? Can you imagine the conversations the participants had, and the memories and insight they brought to one another, as they gathered together over the weekend?

Blanket exercise puts students in the middle of First Nations history

BY DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

If her students did not “relate” before, Amanda Ford was adamant that her Grade 11 English students would be able to do so this year.

Last semester, Ford included Indigenous authors on her class reading list at Perth and District Collegiate Institute, but “the kids could not relate to the native issues,” she said during an interview on Tuesday, Sept. 12.

Following their participation in the blanket exercise that morning, she said she hopes they will have a deeper understanding of the role of Canada’s First Nations peoples in our history, and their ongoing struggles.

Danka Brewer, the main narrator for the exercise, pointed to the blankets which covered the floor of the learning commons, and explained that “this is going to represent Turtle Island,” the name native people gave to what we now know as North America, but, “today, it is going to represent Canada.”

Home and native land Brewer is an indigenous knowledge facilitator, and an elder from Shabot Obaadjiwan (Sharbot Lake). She was a fifth generation descendant of Francis Sharbot, one of the founders of what is now Sharbot Lake, and her family has called this area home for about 200 years.

“My family has lived in Sharbot Lake before Canada became a country,” she said. “I want you to think about that.”

Brewer was joined by another indigenous instructor, Bill Montgomery, from the Haida Gwaii people of British Columbia.

“If you’re not on the blankets, you’re drowning,” Montgomery joked.

The students were divided up into several native groups,

including Montgomery’s own Haida people, the Anishnaabe (which includes the local Algonquins, Mississaugas, Odawa, and others), the Inuit, and the Beothuk people.

Brewer encouraged the students to look about them, to feel that, as representatives of just five of Canada’s 500plus indigenous groups and nations, “this is your land.

This is where your family came from. We can go back in time” for centuries before European contact. “It’s not always a pretty picture,” she admitted, as there would come a time when the first peoples were “pushed aside.” But this exercise was to “better understand” native history, and Canada’s obligations to people like her.

For Montgomery, his ancestry on the west coast goes back tens of thousands of years.

“It’s been scientifically proven that we have lived on that area for (more than) 14,000 years,” he said of his Haida people. But, “we know it has been longer” that they have lived there. “Science is just catching up to Indigenous stories.”

Derek Haime also stood in as a narrator. Holding an eagle feather, he read that “the land gives us what we need,” and that, if they have more than what they need, the people can trade among themselves. The students spoke among their groups, deciding what food, shelter, tools, and culture, to share, in exchange for what they needed. As with any trade deadline, there were ups and downs.

“One trade, that’s all we get?” was overheard at one group, before their trader was sent back out to get a better deal. “Get us some culture.”

Then, the Europeans arrived, and could pick and choose who to trade with. Knowing that the native peoples wanted guns, Europeans would stand their muskets on their ends and say, “We will give you this gun. You

Perth schools struggle to beat the heat in classrooms with no A/C The Stewart School Parent Council is requesting that the school board make sure students do not have to sit in sweltering hot classrooms when the warm weather returns next year.

In an email received by The Perth Courier Friday, Sept. 22, Mark Wheeler, who sits on the school’s Parent Council wrote that “some of the classrooms at The Stewart School are just sweltering. The classrooms with a southern exposure have been recording temperatures in the mid-30s this week,” he wrote. “Every time the weather is warm like this it is a problem … The windows of the southern exposure classrooms look directly onto the paved schoolyard where there are no shade trees. This paved area creates a virtual hotbox of the classrooms.”

As a result of this, Wheeler promised that the parent council “is planning on raising the issue with the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB)" in hopes of some mitigating solution.

In a telephone interview with this newspaper on the morning of Monday, Sept. 25, principal Dean Fournier said that the office, library, and computer lab areas of the school do have air conditioning – but that the air conditioning in the office areas has not been working for more than a week, and that, as he spoke, he was seated in front of a fan, in common with other areas of the school.

Fournier reported that there were about 40 box fans, some brought in by staff, in classrooms and other areas throughout the school. He stressed that The Stewart School is not unique in dealing with a lack of air conditioning in classrooms, and that many schools in the area have no air conditioning at all.

“It really is not just a Stewart

School problem,” he said.

To beat the heat, Fournier said that the custodial staff does open the windows in the morning, to let some of the leftover cool night air into classrooms before students arrive. There are also roll-down blinds that are being drawn to deflect the sunshine. Classes are also being offered the chance to rotate through the library and computer lab, so that they can avail of some air conditioning. Students are also being reminded of the need to keep hydrated.

There has been a rumour going

around that the school has been designed to accommodate an air conditioning system but, because of budget concerns, this project was not seen through to completion. Fournier said that he had heard of the rumours, but could not comment as he was not present when the building was constructed.

“We will take note of the temperatures outside at lunch recess,” said Fournier, to determine if students should go out in the afternoon, or if they would be cooler inside. “It’s the

back classrooms along the pavement that are the hottest.”

Fournier said that some parents may be “surprised” that there is no air conditioning in classrooms, because “they think of it as a newer school.”

According to the Environment Canada forecast for today, the temperature should soar to 32 C this afternoon, with a Humidex of 40, up from 22 degrees at 9 a.m. Showers are expected in the area on Wednesday, with some relief coming this Thursday, with an expected high of a more

seasonal 19, and then down to 14 on Friday.

Dog day afternoon Later in the day on Monday, Sept.

25, Wheeler met up at the home of fellow parent council member LoriAnne Bond.

Wheeler has two girls who attend The Stewart School, while Bond has one child who attends the school, and other who now goes to Perth and District Collegiate Institute.

may be hotter than others,” Wheeler said.

In speaking with her high school daughter, who used to attend The Stewart School, her child said that PDCI “is hot, but not as hot as at Stewart,” said Bond.

For several years, Wheeler’s daughters attended Queen Elizabeth school, where there were “huge maple trees lining the south side of the school,” he said. With about 400 student bodies in The Stewart School, and the large cement pad that is a magnet for the sun’s rays, Bond wondered why the school could not just “rip up part of the tarmac and put in trees,” she said. While “air conditioning would be the best case scenario,” she said, there are other ways that the parent council could look at cooling down the building.

“It seems to be an architectural design

flaw,” of the school, said Wheeler, which makes Stewart a little bit hotter than other schools. “The rest of the school, it’s hot like every other school,” said Wheeler, but the south side of the school bears the brunt and is, by his estimation, hotter than the rest of the school.

Bond said that the parent council has already written up a letter to send to the school, which still, as of this writing, needs to be signed off on by all members of the council.

“The issue has been raised for several years now,” said Wheeler. “It’s been raised so many times.”

“It’s usually raised at the end of the year,” said Bond, in the warmer months of May and June.

“You always get the same response,” said Wheeler. “What makes us different is the design.”

Even in the cooler evening hours, the school still feels hot. Wheeler said that during the meet-the-teacher night on Wednesday, Sept. 20, “even at 7 p.m., it was still hot and muggy in the classroom,” said Wheeler.

“Some parents kept their kids at home (Sept. 25),” added Bond. “It’s not a good learning environment.”

When asked about the 40 fans in the school, Bond said that that solution “just blows hot air around.”

Later that afternoon, The Perth Courier spoke to Bond’s daughter Holly, aged 10, who said that she drinks, on average, a litre of water per day. But these past few weeks, she has been downing two bottles of water, roughly two litres per day.

“Just sitting there, you get sweaty,” Holly said of sitting in her classroom. Last week, her class did go to the library for some relief, and sometimes the windows are kept open.

MPP Hillier under investigation by Tay Valley

BY DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

MPP Randy Hillier is under investigation by Tay Valley Township for allegedly harassing two of its employees.

Hillier said last week that the week previous he was contacted by the investigator hired by the township to conduct an investigation, for allegedly contravening a township bylaw.

During a telephone interview on the afternoon of Friday, Sept.

22, Hillier said that the investigator gets to act as “judge and jury” and that the bylaw is “similar” to new “unreasonable customers” bylaws enacted in Perth and Smiths Falls. Hillier said he was sympathetic to municipalities bringing in laws to deal with, say, “an irate constituent comes in using profanity or (using) physical intimidation,” he said, with the bylaw being used as “a means to limit that person’s access,” to town hall. “There is an expectation of courteousness,” on both sides.

The alleged harassment by the Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington MPP stems, he believes, from a letter he sent to all elected members of council this past January, and from a

delegation he made to a special committee of the whole meeting Monday, June 26, as well as follow-up emails to town staffers after that presentation.

“It all centres around my conversations and correspondence with the township,” said Hillier.

The Progressive Conservative MPP alleged that he has received a “disproportionate number of complaints (from constituents) … in regards to the implementation of provincial laws” in Tay Valley. There are 15 municipalities that make up Hillier’s riding, but he charged that in Tay Valley, there was an “inability to find a solution or resolution to these complaints. It’s very seldom that we find a resolution with Tay Valley Township.”

He called the investigation an “abuse of process,” and asked rhetorically, “where does it go from here? I don’t know.”

However, he remained hopeful that “the concerns raised (in June) … get addressed.”

Township response In a brief interview with The Perth Courier on the morning of Monday, Sept. 25, Tay Valley Township’s Deputy Reeve Brian Campbell confirmed that “yes, there is an investigation and Randy Hillier is part of it.” Beyond

that and a statement released by the township on Wednesday, Sept. 20, Campbell said “I can’t respond,” beyond what the release said.

Tay Valley Township Reeve Keith Kerr also spoke to this newspaper later on the morning of Sept. 25, and also confirmed that “there is an ongoing investigation. It’s confidential.”

He also confirmed that there are still interviews ongoing.

When asked about Hillier’s press release on Sept. 20, he said that, “I would say I was a little upset,” with Hillier going public.

Kerr also called the release “in poor taste.” He noted that there is no time frame for the investigation. “We want to make sure it is done right.”

The investigation is ongoing, according to the release, and it did make mention of Hillier’s press release earlier in the day for bringing the matter to the public’s attention. The release stated that since it “relates to confidential personnel matters, therefore, the township will not provide any further information other than to confirm that an investigation is taking place.”

The township confirmed on its website that it “is currently engaged in an investigation of

Weather in moderation, SVP

I

like the “everything in moderation” thing, and the weather this year ... yeesh. Oh, the weather.

Some sort of balance between what we experienced last summer (drought) and this past summer’s offering (floods) would be kind of nice.

As I write this, Autumn is only a couple of days old, but you may have noticed it felt more like the height of July. The weekend, in fact, almost reminded me of Phoenix, Arizona in the monsoon season – with a “feels like” of a kabillion degrees or so. I know that after the miserable rainy summer we had it is a bit of a sacrilege to complain, but it’s just weird.

I like being able to sleep with the air conditioning off and the windows open with fresh air coming in.

Moderation would be nice, although beggars can’t be choosers, I suppose.

This isn’t to say I haven’t enjoyed the warm, sunny stretch, but it was strange (and expensive) to have to run the air conditioning day and night for such a long period so late in September. Usually at this time of year I can sit at my desk at home and enjoy the fresh air and the view of the changing leaves because we have pulled out the window air conditioner and packed it away until next year. Maybe soon.

The cat also very much appreciates the open windows. He has been woefully deprived. Poor kitty.

Local farmers have had a pretty tough time this year due to the crazy amount of rain that fell. A story in The Ottawa Citizen by Tom Spears earlier this month (“Summer 2017: When it wasn’t raining, it was chilly”) points to record-setting rains in June and July. In an analysis of weekend weather, between June 1 and September 6 there were only two weekends that were totally dry. Of the 31 weekend days (including holiday Mondays), that meant 18 days of rain, and of the 13 remaining dry days “only four reached the normal temperature for the time of year.”

Thought so.

Only six days reached 30 C, and five of them were in May and early June. (I’m actually OK with that. I’m a mid-20s kind of girl.)

In 2016, we had 29 days above 30 C. Usually we get about half that – at least that has been the trend since 2010. And when it rained this summer it really rained. Seldom did it sprinkle

– it seemed to constantly deluge.

I also saw on the news that some of the usual sources for local pumpkins have had to resort to importing the gourds because their crops failed not once, but twice.

I know our own vegetable garden suffered. In part this was due to a late planting because I was laid up with knee surgery right around sowing time. Weeding has also been a bit tricky this year – between finding the time to do it and regaining the ability to kneel (still not quite there).

Definitely the weather has not helped. My lettuce was stunted and not abundant, and the carrot tops have been hard to find – partly due to their size, but also due to the flourishing crop of crab grass and the aforementioned lack of weeding. Crab grass, apparently, doesn’t mind rain at all.

Most telling has been our raspberries. We have a batch of ever-bearing canes that consistently deliver a blurp of berries (about a handful) near the end of July, with the main crop kicking into gear around mid-August and continuing right through until we get heavy frost.

Usually we have to water them a bit in the summer. This year they were screaming for a sun lamp.

We got the July blurp as usual, but there has been very little since.

Just last week, during the hot sunny spell, I harvested a half-dozen berries. There are quite a few on some of the canes, but most are small and still very pale – not even close to ripe.

We may be very lean on our raspberry jam haul this year, sadly.

The Spears article went on to include various predictions for the coming season, which I tend to ignore because I find Mother Nature to be, at best, moody and slightly annoyed with humans.

I do wonder, what our part of the world will look like if we get as much precipitation in the form of snow this winter as we did rain this summer.

Keep your shovels close, peeps!

You’re an odd looking horse!

t was a journey.

I started with a flat tire and ended up with a broken jack, twigs in my hair and a mailman, turned mechanic and impromptu rescuer.

I woke up on Tuesday last week (our production day at the paper and busiest day of the week), got ready for work and proceeded to race to work. Unbeknownst to me then, my Subaru had a flat tire. I got down the driveway and onto the road before I noticed (our driveway is gravel and pretty uneven). Once I realized that I wouldn’t be able to drive my car to work, I turned around and headed back home.

No big deal, I thought. We have three vehicles just for situations like this.

I loaded my camera, notebook and lunch into our 2002 Jetta. It’s pretty sketchy these days, but it drives.

I turned the key, and a puff of black smoke jetted out the back.

EVELYN HARFORD View From Here Yikes, I thought.

I headed out of the driveway and got a couple kilometres down the road before realizing, in the chaos of shifting everything from one car to the other, I’d left my phone behind – not a good move when driving a car on the verge of death.

So, for the second time that morning I turned around to get it. Better safe than sorry, right?

I rushed back, got my phone and, again, got on the road. Isn’t the third time supposed to be the charm?

All was well (I thought). I might have been a bit sweaty, but at least I was going to make it to work to type up some outstanding stories from the

council meeting the night before, and get caught up and ready to put the paper together. I normally get into the office around 7 or 8 a.m. on Tuesdays.

But, that wasn’t in the cards last week.

I got about 10 kilometres away from home when I realized that something on the Jetta was dragging on the ground.

Scrreee … the sound made.

I tuned into a side street and the noise stopped. OK, I thought. Maybe it’s gone away. And it did, for a bit. I drove another six kilometres down the road and the noise started again.

Scrreee … the sound made again.

Except this time the noise, and whatever was causing it, started to affect my steering.

So, I pulled over, put the hazards on and checked it out. Sure enough a huge piece of plastic covering the undercarriage had come loose.

Taking time for yourself this fall?

This may sound a little ‘woo woo,’ and perhaps it is. But after undergoing back surgery last year and having the back pain creep up on me again this fall, it made me realize a significant trigger: stress.

When I’m putting in longer work hours and mix it with little sleep and exercise, it’s a fine brew for back issues. It’s a personal thing, for sure.

Because of that, I’m working on my fall schedule to integrate more balance and wellness into the mix. I’ve got Pilates and swimming on the radar as well as signing up for a breathing class from the Yoga Connection. It’s these little things you do for yourself that go so far.

So, if you’re back at the autumn routine and minimizing more and more time for youfocused activities, then this is my public service announcement to ensure you integrate those into your schedule. It’ll do your body (and mind) good. *steps off soapbox* Ladies, ‘80s, and crimped hair If your teenage years included Madonna tapes, a lot of a hairspray and some pleated jeans, then you’re gonna want to pay attention: the Great War Memorial Foundation is hosting its annual Sip + Social event Nov. 10, and this year’s theme is Bright and Tight: ‘80s

COLUMN From page P8

Laying on the ground on the side of the road, I pulled off the big piece of plastic and realized that the car might not be safe to drive.

I turned around again, called my fiancé and asked for help.

“You can change the tire on the Subaru yourself,” he said. “I’ll talk you through it over the phone.”

After a five minute argument over whether or not I was actually capable of changing the tire, I finally decided to give it a shot.

I mean, after all, how hard is it to change a tire?

So, when I got home, I grabbed my cordless phone – yes, a landline, because we live in the middle of nowhere and don’t have cell reception.

Step one: Get the tire, he said.

OK, should be simple enough, I thought.

Wrong.

After heaving one of my winter tires out of the back of the garage, I started to roll it out the door of the garage and down the stairs. But stupid me, thought the tire would stop once it left the garage. Well it didn’t. Instead, it started to roll down the hill in front of our house. It rolled about 200 metres with me chasing behind, pin wheeling my arms, and into the forest that lines our property.

With twigs now in my hair, I started the long journey of rolling the tire back up the hill and next to the car so I could start step two, jacking up the car.

Again, it should be simple enough, I thought.

Once I found the jack and a place to put it, I started to lift up the car. It was hard – too hard.

I asked my fiancé, who was still dutifully on the phone with me, why it was so hard.

He wasn’t sure.

“Are you turning the handle? Is it lifting?” he asked.

“Yes,” I responded. “But not that well.”

DEAR EDITOR;

Owner Angie Gilchrist of Shadowfax has her very artistic choice of colours, orange, green and purple down pat. Not only that, they are in perfect proportions, harmonizing with the store’s soft, reddish brick borders.

It’s a breath of fresh air. On the bleak days of winter this welcome facade will brighten our spirits.

Do you have a private idea for me? I’d love to hear from you! Please send me a note at cathy@ catscovecommunications.com.

“Well, just keep going,” he said.

And I did. I lifted the car, was able to get all the nuts off and remove the problem tire.

I was centimetres away from getting the winter tire on, when the car crashed to the ground.

Vuumpp!

“Ahh!” I screamed.

The jack had broken. It had bent in half because I had put it under the car upside down.

I learned this hours later after the picture of the set up I had sent my fiancé actually came through via text message because of our shoddy cell reception.

“What happened?” he asked.

“The jack broke,” I responded, and heaved the tools and tires crying angry tears.

“Why can’t I do this!?”

No one knew.

So, once my angry tears had finished, I realized I should have called CAA all along.

Once I called, I knew my saviour would be there soon.

But before CAA could get there, our mailman arrived.

“What’s going on?” he asked.

I explained the situation and he told me he could help.

“Great,” I said. “Thanks a million.”

The mail guy changed my tire and finally, after the emotional rollercoaster, I was on my way.

But the experience got me thinking. Why isn’t simple car maintenance or repairs part of learning to drive? I mean, we’ve all be there, scratching our heads wondering what the heck to do when we get a flat or when the car just won’t start.

Some of us learned, but most people – especially in Toronto where I’m from – don’t know how to change a tire let alone repair their own vehicle.

We rely on mechanics, or in my case the mail guy.

Now I’ve learned – but it took a few tears and a broken jack to do it.

Horticultural Society presents small Early bird membership renewal ends water features for residential properties soon at Royal Canadian Legion

Now that our growing season is slowing down, we have leisure to examine our properties and think about what we may want to add or change for the next growing seasons.

Hardscaping is always a long-term consideration and a water feature is one of the most satisfying additions we could make to our outdoor leisure space. At the next Perth and District Horticultural Society meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 10, Richard Inchley will discuss “Small Water Features for Residential Properties.”

Based in the Ottawa valley, Richard Inchley’s Ponds and Aquaria supplies the Ottawa region with water garden and landscape services. Originally from the UK, Richard studied fish farming, leading to a successful 25-year career in the water garden and landscape industry. Richard has also been a keen pond and aquarium hobbyist for over 35 years.

Ponds and Aquaria was established in 2002 and specializes in the construction and installation of water gardens and garden landscaping.

Coupled with a strong desire for quality and value, the long-term success of each project is Richard’s main concern. As well, Ponds and

Aquaria commercial water plant nursery and pond fish distribution facility offers a complete range of water garden livestock for projects.

Days of Yore …

From the Perth Courier dated Nov. 27, 1975. “Two longtime subscribers to the Ottawa Journal found their single-minded devotion to a newspaper paid $450 when each won last Week’s JOURN-O contest jackpot. Neither Thomas H. Booton, Perth, who has taken The Journal for 50 years, nor Vernon M. Clarkson, Ottawa, a 25-year subscriber, had even won anything so much as a ‘teaspoon’ before. Mr. Booton, a retired felt carder and a 50-year member of the Royal Canadian Legion branch here, said it had been quite a year of happenings, for he and his wife had celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in April.”

HEREFORD, JOHN HENRY “HARRY”

Evelyn passed away peacefully at Valley Stream Retirement Home, Nepean, on Tuesday, September 19, 2017. Evelyn was in her 95th year.

She was born in Cardross, Saskatchewan to the late Stewart and Frances Traill (nee Burns).

Ev was predeceased by her loving husband, Alexander John (2005), her grandson, Alexander John (2008) and her dear brother, D’Arcy. Evelyn will be missed by her son, Alexander “Bud” and daughter, Frances Elin, both of Oxford Mills, Ontario. She was a grandmother to Tanya Lee, and great-grandmother to Bradlee and Alexandria “Allie”. She is survived by her dear sister, Dorothy “Dot” Ackerman, and her brothers, Vern, Les, and Edward Traill. Ev’s childhood dream was to become an airline stewardess; she began her career with the Royal Canadian Air Force, stationed in Manitoba. It was during this posting that Evelyn met her future soul mate and husband, Alec. Married life with Alec would take her and their children all across Canada and Europe as they pursued his military career. During these hectic years, Ev managed to carve out time to develop favourite pastimes and hobbies, such as oil painting, knitting, crocheting, gardening, and ceramics. By 1983, after completing their final posting in the nation’s capital, Ev and Alec were very excited to share their retirement years in a well-appointed home on Buckshot Lake. Evelyn took over Alec’s designated office space to create her own art studio, where she could devote hours to creating her oil painting masterpieces, which she loved to share with family and friends.

For health reasons, a relocation closer to Perth was necessary by 1996; Ev and Alec moved into a model house in the newly developed Perthmore subdivision.

Cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life was held on Saturday, September 23 at 1:00 pm in the reception facilities of the O’Dacre Family Funeral Home, Ltd. Mrs. Evelyn Milne’s arrangements have been entrusted to the care of the O’Dacre Family Funeral Home, of Perth.

Connected to Your Community A/CP/K/P/SF - 47 - Thursday, September 28, 2017

Lanark Lodge undergoes successful annual inspection Council has received the annual Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care inspection results for Lanark Lodge.

Earlier this month, director Deborah Pidgeon presented the 2017 results in a report to the community services committee.

She explained inspectors have a duty to identify all non-compliances found during an inspection in their report. Instances and actions to be taken are then posted in homes, provided to residents’ and family councils, as well as published on the ministry’s website.

Inspections are unannounced and random, and they include protocols on admission processes, dining, infection prevention and control practices, resident charges, quality improvement practices, residents’ council interviews and family council interviews.

The unannounced visit to the

lodge by two inspectors for the annual review began on July 10 for a period of six days. It consisted of a compliance review, as well as a review of three incidents from 2017. The process included structured interviews with residents, family members and staff, direct observations of how care and services are being delivered, as well as specifically targeted health record reviews.

Pidgeon noted the lodge’s resident quality inspection results have been significantly better than the provincial average. The public report has been posted.

“The results of this inspection are a significant accomplishment for our organization and reinforce the high commitment to resident care and services,” Pidgeon said. “Each Lanark Lodge staff member contributed to the overall success of our on-site review and are to be congratulated on a highly successful annual inspection.”

Satisfaction survey completed for lodge Pidgeon presented the results of the resident/family satisfaction survey for 2017 at the community services committee meeting earlier this month, which was then received by council.

The anonymous survey helps the lodge to determine trends and make an action plan for improvements.

Residents and families could choose to complete the survey at computer kiosk, via an electronic link sent to the family distribution list or by using a paper copy; it was completed over four weeks in June. The target rate for completion was 30 per cent and the home achieved a response rate of 31 per cent. Twenty-four per cent of respondents were residents, while the rest were the power of attorney or friends of the residents.

Pidgeon said there is a trend that resident acuity rates are increas-

ing, resulting in fewer residents being able to complete it without help.

Ninety-four per cent of respondents indicated they are satisfied overall with the quality of care and services in the home, which is consistent over the last few years. As well, 98 per cent said they would recommend the home to a friend. Similarly high scores were received for family members feeling welcome, cleanliness of the home, enjoyable activities, meal quality, caring and compassionate nursing staff, communication about issues, meal choices and expressing opinions without fear of consequences. Areas of lower score included satisfaction with communication in the home (89 per cent) and medical care by the physician (84 per cent).

Pidgeon noted two new physicians have been recruited to support the medical director’s caseload and the lodge is also recruiting for a full-time nurse practitioner. “The remarkable rate of satisfaction achieved in overall care and services, as well as the individual ratings in a number of specific domains, speaks to the high level of concerted effort to promote the best care and services for our elders in Lanark County,” Pidgeon said.

Lanark Lodge strategic plan approved Council has approved the Lanark Lodge Strategic Plan for 2017 to 2019.

As the governing body for Lanark Lodge, council is ultimately responsible for the quality and safety of services delivered by the home and plays an important role in enabling an organizational culture that enhances resident safety.

The lodge completed an extensive consultation process for the strategic plan, which included an environmental scan, identification of the longterm vision and a strategy for achieving it.

Consultants Bessant Pelech and associates assisted with the process that included engaging residents, families, staff, community partners, members of its governing body, physicians, volunteers and the leadership team. The home’s strategy includes the pillars of “modelling the way,” “investing in our people” and “connecting with our community.”

There are long-term and shortterm goals, objectives, assigned responsibilities, timelines and deliverable for each pillar.

“The strategic plan will allow Lanark Lodge to put business challenges in perspective and tackle them in a co-ordinated way,” said Lanark Lodge director Deborah Pidgeon. “It will also serve as an effective communication tool to provide regular updates to our internal and external partners on our progress.”

For more information, contact Pidgeon, director of Lanark Lodge, at 1-888-9-LANARK, ext. 7101.

Funds approved for after-school program Council passed a motion approv-

Connected to Your Community A/CP/K/P/SF - 48 - Thursday, September 28, 2017

ing a request to transfer $10,000 in funding previously allocated to the Smiths Falls Youth Centre, which has since closed, to ensure programming for Smiths Falls youth can continue in 2017.

At the community services committee meeting earlier this month, a delegation consisting of Smiths Falls director of community services Art Manhire, Big Brothers Big Sisters executive director Jennifer Miller and Youth Action Kommittee (YAK) executive director Jeff Kohl highlighted their collaborative efforts to deliver an after-school program for Smiths Falls and area youth.

The plan is to ensure youth who were accessing services through the former youth centre have access to after-school resources, and to evaluate opportunities and needs to determine future programming. The town will offer in-kind space three nights per week for the program; YAK is providing the resources and programming; and Big Brothers Big Sisters is providing leadership, training, program oversight, administration and the hiring and management of staff.

Provincial funding through the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport has been confirmed. The reallocated funds will ensure programming until the end of this year and county staff will provide a report to the committee in October regarding the reallocation of the funds that were already designated for the centre in 2018.

For more information, contact Kurt Greaves, county chief administrative officer, at 1-888-9-LANARK, ext. 1101.

Changes made to procedural bylaw Council has approved a bylaw to amend its procedural bylaw, which governs the calling, place and proceedings of meetings.

The procedural bylaw underwent a comprehensive review and rewrite in 2013, but several housekeeping items have been identified. Amendments included the addition of a definition for “New/Other Business,” an update to references to the technology used during meetings, a revision to the order of committee of the whole meetings, the addition of an item indicating delegations cannot address council on policy matters that have been decided within the last 12 months unless council is reconsidering them and an adjustment to references about correspondence circulation.

Council may be discussing changes to the warden nomination/election process at a future meeting. For more information, contact Leslie Drynan, clerk, at 1-888-9-LANARK, ext.

1502.

Upcoming Meetings * County council: Wednesday, Oct. 11 at 5 p.m.; * Community services: Wednesday, Oct. 11 (following county council).

Inattentive drivers causing more collisions than impaired, speeding motorists Inattentive driving is linked to more collisions on Ontario Provincial Police (OPP)-patrolled roads so far this year than speeding and alcohol/drug-related collisions combined.

Since Jan. 1, driver distraction has been reported as the primary cause in 6,360 road collisions.

In contrast, speed was the primary cause in 4,700 crashes, while 1,158 of the incidents involved a driver who consumed alcohol or drugs.

A total of 47 people have died so far this year because of an inattentive driver, up from 39 such deaths this time last year.

"Our collision data is compelling evidence that drivers who text, talk on their cellphone or are distracted in some other way, take a tremendous toll on the safety of those who share the road

with them,” said OPP Commissioner J.V.N. (Vince) Hawkes.

“Public complacency about inattentive driving can be just as dangerous as the behaviour itself. Until drivers, passengers and the general public take a firm stand against this road safety issue, these tragedies are expected to continue in large numbers on our roads.''

With children and other students taking to the streets and being bused to school, the need for motorists to pay full attention to driving — and for others to take a firm stand against drivers who are not — has never been greater.

How you can help • As a driver, keep your cellphone out of sight. If you need to

use it, pull over at a safe location.

• As a passenger, speak up and voice your concerns about your safety when travelling with a distracted driver. By ignoring the problem, you are contributing to the problem.

• Spread the word at your school or workplace about the dangers of distracted driving.

• Highlight the dangers of distracted driving on social media.

• Be a voice in your community.

With the exception of 2012, inattentive drivers have taken more lives on OPP-patrolled roads than speeding and alcoholimpaired drivers since Ontario distracted driving laws took effect in 2009.

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!

Murder case headed for plea, Nov. 17

BY DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

The Last Duel Park murder case appears to be headed for the Perth court on Friday, Nov. 17, at 2 p.m.

Andrew Kravchenko, now 23, was arrested on Dec. 18, 2016, on a charge of second-degree murder. He was charged over the death of James “Jake” Laverdure, 45, on Aug. 7, 2016, at the Last Duel Park campground in Perth.

I am writing about September at Drummond Central School.

The very first day of school a young 13-year-old boy (Zack) came to Drummond on a bike with his stepfather.

They were biking to Ottawa from Barrie and back. He gave all the staff and students bracelets that said, “Zack makes tracks”. We took several pictures of Zack and the students. Speaking of Zack, on Sept. 19 Drummond had a parent teacher night with Law and Orders providing the food. All donations were given to Zack makes tracks.

Thanks to our great parent council and to Law and Orders, we raised $471.50 for Zack.

In other news we had bus evacuation practice on Sept.

14.

On Sept. 22 we had Forest Friday with Laurie Clark and Megan Robinson. At 9:30 a.m. we had an assembly and Megan showed us her amazing hoop dance. Then we went outside and learned how to hoop dance. We learned water dancing, fire dancing, air dancing and wind dancing, all with a hoop.

Later on we made an insect hotel out of cattails, muddy clay, straw, bark, and grass.

The new kindergarten students love Drummond and our other students are looking forward to a great year.

There are some 200 dragonflies and damselflies in Ontario. A typical area has about 100 species. More and more, people who go looking for birds and butterflies are hunting for dragonflies as well, and for their smaller cousins, damselflies.

Runtz says that the species number is not huge, compared with birds and butterflies, so it is easy to remember who’s who. The immature nymphs live only in water but adults can forage into dry forests or fields for food.

Runtz, one of Canada’s most highly respected naturalists, nature photographers and authors, first started observing dragon and

BLANKET From page P4

stack your furs as tall as this gun, and you can have this gun,” said Montgomery. “The guns kept getting taller … they kept taking advantage.”

As for his own Haida people, “we were a little bit more reluctant to trade with Europeans,” in part because “the Haida, we were blessed with natural resources.”

But, as in other parts of the colonial world, where Europeans had learned to pit one ethnic group against another, so that they could hold power while the people warred among themselves, the Europeans employed the same strategy in North America. They would supply rival First Nations with guns, then act as agents provocateurs and first the first shots on either side to set off a conflict.

But some nations got wise to what the Europeans were doing. Three summers ago, there was a potlatch to celebrate 100 years of peace between the Haida and former enemies, after they realized that their warring was “not right.

This is not honourable,” and they put down their weapons.

Native land, Europe’s wars Relations between indigenous peoples and European powers ebbed and flowed as time went on. In 1701, the governor of New France called representatives from 40 First Nations to Montreal for a summit, and, in time, First Nations people were dragged into fighting between the French and English, from Canada down to the Ohio River Valley and elsewhere.

By 1763 however, Britain’s King George III issued a royal proclamation, that First Nations people owned their own land, and that they only way for Europeans to get that land was to sign a treaty with them, to negotiate proper, legal ownership.

However, Brewer explained, First Nations people were “pushed aside,” in the rush for land, as Europeans ignored the king’s words. “Aboriginal people resisted,” she said.

As Europeans began claiming more and more land for themselves, and moving increasingly inland from the Atlantic Ocean seaboard, the First Nations peoples were forced deeper inland.

“You must not stand off of the blankets, even if they get smaller,” warned Brewer.

By 1800, Europeans outnumbered First Nations people in North America. This was done, in part, because large numbers of First Nations people died from diseases like smallpox and measles brought over by Europeans. When smallpox hit Montgomery’s Haida people, they were nearly wiped off of the face of the earth. “It happened so quickly,” said Montgomery, with some estimates showing that the Haida population of between 20,000 and 40,000 dropped to 500, roughly 95 per cent of the population killed off by disease. More startling still, there used to be 12 to 14 Haida villages along the west coast.

After the smallpox outbreak, there were only two Haida villages left with people.

As though that were not bad enough, some of the disease was intentionally spread, a form of insidious ethnic cleansing, where “blankets infested with small pox” were handed out to First Nations people.

On the east coast, the entire Beothuk people were wiped out from Newfoundland, after they were starved and hunted out of existence.

“Hunted down and killed like animals,” said Montgomery.

At this point, the students representing the Beothuk people were sent off of their blanket on the east, and their blanket removed. Haime, however, was given a bright red Métis sash, to represent a new group created from the mixing

of the indigenous and Europeans.

As the exercise continued, and there was more European settlement, the blankets got smaller, folded on top of each other, to represent reservations. Students were sent off to represent those indigenous people who died from starvation or disease, and, later, those lost during the time of the residential schools — the last of which closed in Saskatchewan in 1996.

(There was also a minute of silence held for the residential school victims).

However, the nation may be lost, but some of the people may have actually survived.

“A lot of the people who we thought to be extinct are not,” said Brewer. They were integrated into other nations. “They will absorb you in,” she said. “You would blend in and you would not be at risk.”

Part of the reason why some Europeans thought so little about eliminating entire groups of people simply came down to greed for land — “If you don’t exist, you couldn’t hold title” on land, she said.

New nation, old problems First Nations people were not involved in the creation of Canada in 1867, and by 1876, Ottawa created the Indian Act. “The Canadian government now controlled every aspect of your life,” said Brewer.

Native people can no longer: • Vote; • Hold traditional ceremonies; • Fish without permission; • Leave their reservations with permission; • Cannot gather to discuss their rights; or, • Gather together in groups of larger than three.

“I have 13 brothers and sisters,” said Brewer.

“We could not have walked down the street as a family.”

There were flashes of violence, including the Metis-led Red River Rebellion (1869-1870).

This was put down, and Métis leader Louis Riel hung for treason. Brewer charged that Canada’s first prime minister, Sir John A. Macdonald starved out natives on the prairies to make way for the railway.

Back east, the government continued further deception, to rob natives of their rights. Some Algonquins were told to move to the Quebec side of the Ottawa River — which they did, only to be told that, since they were no longer in Ontario, they were no longer the government’s concern. As new reservations were set up, before the natives would arrive, the white government agents would try to clear cut forests for valuable timber to sell, leaving the native peoples with nothing upon their arrival.

Under the law, native people could not serve as lawyers, or doctors, or even in the military.

A native woman could not marry a non-native man, for, if she did, she would lose her status.

A native soldier would also find that he too had lost his status just for serving Canada. To add insult to injury for the returned native veteran, they could not access the same health care and pension benefits as non-native veterans.

And why is status so important?

“It represents you having health care, being able to be with your family,” said Brewer.

Toward the end of the hour, Brewer explained that students may have heard a lot about “truth and reconciliation” in the media.

“This is the truth part, bringing out the unspoken history that you don’t find in the textbooks,” she said. “We have to know what that truth is before we can reconcile with it.”

That way, both indigenous and non-indigenous Canadians can start “the rebuilding of friendly relations.”

Perth Blue Wings split weekend games in CCHL2 play STAFF

The Perth Blue Wings split their CCHL2 league games over the weekend, earning a 6-2 win over Renfrew, but dropped an 8-0 decision to Richmond at home Friday night.

Sunday, the Blue Wings were in Renfrew where Suraj Bali led the scoring charge with two goals and two assists.

Perth got on the board early in the first period with Bali’s short-handed marker, assisted by Matt Knight-Bedour and Jordan Currie just three minutes into the game.

Renfrew tied it up about three minutes later with their own short-handed goal from Luka Marinic.

Knight-Bedour put the Blue Wings ahead on the power play with help from Bali and Mack Miller at the 8:29 mark, then added one more before the period ended with Nathan MacKechnie doing the damage. Miller and Bali assisted on this one at 14:23 as Perth held a 3-1 lead at the break.

In the second, Miller gave Perth an bigger lead with his power play goal at 3:22, but

Renfrew got that one back at 4:38.

Into the third period, Perth sealed the win with two more from Bali and Dylan Sharpley (unassisted). Knight-Bedour and MacKechnie were credited with assists in this 6-2 final.

Johnathan Peacock got the win in nets with 27 saves.

Richmond 8 Perth 0 At home on Friday night, the Blue Wings couldn’t get anything going as they were shut down by the Richmond Royals, 8-0.

Richmond scored six in the second period after a scoreless first. Corey Symington and Ryan Bonfield had two goals each. Singles came from Tyler Somers, Dale Kilby, Jake McArthur and Ryan Pawlikowski had singles.

Jean-Philippe Tourigny had the win with 37 saves, while Cameron Scott took the loss.

Coming up Perth is in Embrun Friday night. They were in Brockville Tuesday night as well, but results were not available at press time. Perth will host the Whitewater Kings on Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m.

Are you ready for your next Adventure? Highlands Hunt set for Oct. 7 Picture this: you’re scrambling to horizontally cross a ladder which is set between two trees in the middle of the forest. As sweat drips off your brow, you’re focused on reaching for the next rung. With hands clasped together, your partner quietly watches from the ground.

Suddenly, you hear hooves trotting throughout the adjacent fields just metres away. You stop moving. Your heart races.

You remind yourself that you’re safe right now. You’re at a station which means they can’t get you.

But that won’t last long.

As soon as you make it to the other side of the ladder, you’ve completed your task. You make your way to search out the next station. That’s when it’s fair game for the tracker to get you.

This is the Highlands Hunt Adventure Race.

About the Race On Saturday, Oct. 7, 2017, racers from across eastern Ontario will take part in the Highlands Hunt Adventure Race in the rugged Lanark Highlands at 647 Rosetta Rd. Beginning at 2 p.m., the Highlands Hunt Adventure Race is a race of speed and stealth.

ture by horse-mounted trackers. Tracking the lands for racers, the horsemen want to tag you out of the game. If you’re caught, your game is made longer to complete. The stations are located across a vast property which includes rolling hills, swampy ditches and forested land. The stations change every year but know that you’ll be using your strength, speed and smarts to accomplish them.

You can race as an individual or as a team, with the team advantage being that only one of your team mates has to complete the station test if all members of the team are present at the station at the same time.

All team members must be present at the end of the race to qualify that they have finished the entire race.

The first team/individual to successfully complete all stations without getting caught and get back to the finish line are crowned the winners. Your game runs until you either win, give up or time out by the 6 p.m. finish time.

Think: Mantracker. But without all the cameras.

Are you ready to race?

Registration is now open, and you can register as an individual or as a team online or you can also preregister and pay in person at 12 Elliot St. and come to the front desk. The cost is $25 per person when you preregister or $35 on the event day. The registration table opens at 12 p.m. on race day, and a kids’ one-station event happens at 1 p.m. for no cost. There will also be other fee-based activities including the enlarged hamster wheel, an inflatable obstacle course, pony rides, barbecue and more.

The Highlands Hunt Adventure Race is a fundraiser for the Perth Enrichment Program for Older Adults and all proceeds goes to help the organization.

As part of September’s National Guide Dog Month, she’s written the following to educate community members about guide dogs.

Training Guide Dogs in Canada Before I began to work with guide dogs back in 1988, I, like most people, never really put much thought into what is involved in preparing a dog for a career as a guide dog. I had seen them working on occasion, but never knew how a dog learned the skills they need to take on the job of safely guiding a person with sight loss as they walk from place to place. How does a dog know when to cross a road? How do they learn to walk around obstacles and locate places?

What else do they need to know before they can become a guide dog? Now, having worked with guide dogs for many years, I have the answers.

After spending their first year with a volunteer CNIB Guide Dogs Puppy Raiser, the young dog is ready to begin their formal guide dog training which usually takes four to six months, depending on how quickly the dog learns. Like children, they all learn at different rates, so this is taken into account as they progress through their training.

Each day, the dog will head off to work with their Guide Dog Trainer or Guide Dog Mobility Instructor. They will have two training sessions in a variety of environments, before being returned to their volunteer boarder's home for the night. Only positive training methods are used, with patient, consistent handling to ensure the dog develops into a happy, confident guide for their future owner. Tasks are repeated often until the dog understands what is expected in each

situation.

We start with the basics: walking down the centre of the sidewalk, on the left side and slightly ahead of the handler, a position that is ideal for guiding. Once they have that, they can be introduced to the harness and handle, the physical link between the dog and the handler.

Over the four to six months that they are in training, they will learn how to walk around obstacles on the sidewalk, leaving enough room for the handler to get past without bumping into them.

They learn to stop at curbs so that the person they are guiding knows that they are at a road and that they must take the time to assess the traffic so they can cross over safely. The responsibility for deciding when to cross lies with the Guide Dog User, not the dog.

Using their initiative, memory and sight, the dogs learn how to find locations for their handler. They will stop for steps, doors and wait patiently for clear gaps along crowded sidewalks.

Although guide dogs are taught to be obedient and respectful of their owners, they sometimes must override what they are being asked to do if the handler hasn't detected a potential hazard such as a car crossing their path. That takes a lot of concentration and confidence. Unlike most other types of working dogs, they must learn to ignore some very strong instincts such as sniffing and other potential distractions like birds and cats.

Once they have reached their destination, it's break time for the dog. They've done their job and now they can play, rest and just be a normal dog. They certainly deserve that!

Nearing the end of their training, they are matched with a blind or partially sighted person and their career as a qualified guide dog begins.

We have introduced new treatments and programs to provide health choices that support your individual needs. Welcome Sarah Hardy, Canadian Ambassador, Global Body Image Association.
