News – What’s the difference between porn and pornography?

It depends on who you ask sitting around the Perth town council table.

“Porn and pornography are the same thing,” said Coun. Jim Boldt during the Sept. 24 meeting during which the wording for the White Ribbon Campaign banner was debated. But he conceded that “there was some concern… that the word porn was not as acceptable as pornography.”

For Coun. Beth Peterkin, however, the very word porn carried such a negative connotation that she could not support its use on the banner.

“I have absolutely no problem with the campaign,” Peterkin said.

“I totally support it. I will not support that wording. I do not think it is appropriate.”

The issue had come before full council after a previous, vigorous debate on Sept. 10, following a

presentation by the Perth InterChurch Committee, to seek council’s support to once again fly the White Ribbon Campaign Against Pornography banner on Foster Street from Oct. 21 to 25.

Coun. Judy Brown pointed out that, normally, when it comes to banners being strung across Foster Street, the community services director, Shellee Evans, makes the decision if the banner is in keeping with town policy.

However, “people have the option of coming to committeeof-the-whole, and committeeof-the-whole makes the decision if it (the banner) is appropriate and that is what happened here,” Brown said.

The banner will read, “Be Aware, Porn Harms,” and “that’s what’s generated a lot of discussion, the wording of that banner,” said Mayor John Fenik.

The banner used last year will not be used, partially because some of the lettering has faded.

Fenik agreed with Peterkin

that “this word (porn) is provocative. It will get people talking.”

But while society has become more tolerant of sexual diversity and orientation, “it is becoming very blurred. We are living in a 50 Shades of Grey world… if it (the banner) prompts a discussion of healthy sexuality, that is OK. Maybe some provocation and discussion is not bad.”

Pornography is no longer just a Playboy magazine stashed away under a teenage boy’s bed, but now often degrading, sometimes violent sexual images that can normalize crimes like rape to youngsters, many of whom stumble across such content online by accident.

“I am not comfortable with the word porn,” said Boldt. “But with what I hear coming out of the mouths of children these days, I don’t think it will matter.”

Boldt added that, if the committee makes a similar banner request in 2014, “maybe they could put a little bit more thought” into

the wording.

Coun. Jim Graff agreed with Boldt that technology is changing how society accesses pornography, and how it is distributed, sometimes unwillingly.

“The word porn has more shock value,” said Graff. “(But) we have kids taking pictures of themselves with their iPhones,” in compromising positions, “and it is getting in the wrong hands.”

Earlier this year, the old Perth Police Service visited area high schools to present seminars on sexting, following complaints from students about the practice.

“If it stimulates one conversation, and helps one kid, all the better,” said Graff.

“It’s a tough world out there and we need to make a stand,” said Brown.

In the end, Peterkin stood as the only councillor to vote against allowing the banner in a recorded vote.

Fenik, Gemmell, Graff, Brown and Boldt voted in favour.

News – Never underestimate the power of a tweet.

Perth Mayor John Fenik used the power of social media to get some long-delayed action on getting a provincial appointment to the Perth Police Services Board.

Fenik attended the Association of Municipalities of Ontario conference in Ottawa this past August, and he told Perth council on Tuesday, Sept. 24 that he was blown away by Canadian astronaut Chris Hatfield’s keynote speech on the first day.

Fenik noted just how Hatfield was able to use social media, like answering questions on Twitter and uploading videos of his exploits on the International Space Station, where he served as commander, to YouTube.

Little did he realize that, following a bearpit session with members of Premier Kathleen Wynne’s cabinet later that week that he too would use Twitter to get long-awaited action.

He asked Community Safety and Correctional Services Minister Madeleine Meilleur about the delay. “We’ve been waiting a long time for an appointment,” said Fenik, after Lana March’s term expired last year. “What gives? What’s taking so long?

Can you speed things along?”

Meilleur’s answer was, essentially, as Fenik recounted, that all Perth had to do was “just send in three names and we will take care of it.”

The only problem with this was that Perth had already done just that.

“Things needed to move quicker,” said Fenik.

So, he took to Twitter outside of the session and vented his frustrations. About 10 minutes later, back in his hotel room, he received a phone call from Meilleur’s staff – they wanted to see him right away.

Since then, “appointments have been approved, they just haven’t been announced publicly,” said Fenik.

Working to maintain rehabilitation services Council has approved recommendations that support continuity and a high level of physiotherapy services and exercise classes for the 163 residents of the county’s long-term care home, Lanark Lodge. This comes following funding changes to the model for these services in long-term care homes that took effect Aug. 1. The county will maintain its current service provider using the new base rate funding model mandated by the provincial Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, which sees a reduction in ministry-funded programs by a minimum of $45,700 per year to Lanark Lodge.

Director Deborah Pidgeon says the home has notified families and residents that there are changes forthcoming and that staff will be working diligently to provide the best possible service with resources available. “It is recognized there are provincial challenges with funding, but it is

Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters encourage safe, responsible hunting season Lifestyle – It’s an exciting time of year for big game hunters and waterfowlers alike. Tens of thousands of hunters will be hitting the bush, field or water this fall to take advantage of the many great wild game and migratory bird opportunities in the province, and to enjoy their hunting heritage.

The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) and the Ontario Conservation Officers Association (OCOA) would like to wish all outdoor enthusiasts a great season and remind them to ensure they have the latest information on regulations in their wildlife management unit, to obtain and carry all necessary permits and licenses, to obey the law, but most of all remember safety first. “Hunting in Ontario offers many rewards, including healthy recreation in the outdoors and a lifelong connection with

wildlife,� said OFAH executive director Angelo Lombardo. “It’s also an opportunity to spend time with family and friends and take part in a true Canadian tradition. However, responsible hunters know that a license to hunt is not a license to trespass.

The vast majority of hunters in Ontario ask permission to hunt on privately-owned land, build good relationships with landowners, and show their respect and appreciation for having the privilege to hunt on private property.� “As a hunter myself, I understand the need to show the utmost respect to both landowners and other hunters,� said OCOA president Joe McCambridge. “I encourage all hunters to put consideration for others before the need to bag a trophy deer or get a limit of geese – this will ensure a safe and enjoyable hunt for all.�

Anyone who observes illegal or unsafe hunting activity is asked to help conservation officers protect our natural resources and ensure public safety by calling the MNR’s violation reporting line at 1-877-TIPS-MNR (8477677), or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

For more information about natural resources regulations and enforcement, please visit the OCOA website at http://www. ocoa.ca or contact your local conservation officer.

With more than 100,000 members, supporters and subscribers, and 710 member clubs, the OFAH is the largest non-profit conservation-based organization in Ontario. For more information, visit www. ofah.org and stay connected with Facebook and Twitter.

EOWC update on financial sustainability Council accepted a report presented by chief administrative officer/treasurer Kurt Greaves from the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus (EOWC) that provides an update on financial sustainability in eastern Ontario. The report builds on information released in 2012 that identified factors contributing to the region’s overall financial sustainability, including a capital infrastructure deficit of $3.74 billion of which $3 billion is transportation related. Addressing this over 10 years means spending $374 million each year in rural eastern Ontario. Costs for municipalities are outpacing the consumer price index and population growth, with the largest drivers of increased costs being transportation, protection services, health/emergency services and environment.

In this region, 90 percent of the tax base is residential, and revenue generation is constrained by the taxpayers’ ability to pay. Rural eastern Ontario, the report says, tends to have lower incomes and higher percentages of people on fixed incomes than the provincial average. While municipalities in this region have increased spending on roads and bridges by 93 per cent from 2000 to 2011, it represents less than half of what is needed to be spent.

The EOWC is developing a regional economic development strategy and exploring ways to reduce costs through regional approaches and sharing. It notes provincial-municipal partnerships are needed for service

delivery and offers numerous recommendations to the province for short and long-term municipal affordability strategies.

unfortunate to see reductions in services such as physiotherapy and rehabilitation that promote a quality living experience for elders in our long-term care homes,� she said.

Council also passed a motion to note this issue as a possible delegation request with the ministry at the Good Roads Conference in February, and to authorize the warden to draft a letter to the minister outlining the county’s position on the funding changes. The letter will be circulated to the Association of Municipalities of Ontario.

News – The following are highlights from the regular Lanark County Council meeting held Wednesday, Sept. 25.

The county is undertaking a 30day public review of a posted speed analysis report to seek input regarding proposed changes to speed limits on some county roads. The advertised review began Sept. 5 and runs until Oct. 4. Earlier this year, the public works director collected comments from local municipalities regarding proposed changes to posted speeds on some county roads based on an analysis of the county roads network and using Transportation Association of Canada guidelines. Local municipalities reviewed the proposed changes in August, which include a recommendation to reduce the posted speed limit to 50 kilometres per hour in all community settlement areas.

The report and comment form can be found on the county’s website at www.lanarkcounty.ca/Page1527.aspx, and hard copies are available at the public works building, 99 Christie Lake Road.

Area boy diagnosed with rare immune deficiency disorder Benefit concert planned for Frankville family Oct. 11 in Toledo She said many people sign organ donation cards but being a bone marrow donor has a short recovery period. “You’re down for about a week and then back to normal,� she explained. “It is important and people on the other side really do appreciate it. It’s your only shot.�

By ASHLEY KULP akulp@perfprint.ca

Community – As young Kael Morrison plays outside on his family’s farm in Frankville recently, it’s hard to imagine the happy little boy has been diagnosed with a rare, and potentially fatal, immune deficiency disease.

The six-year-old, who attends Meadowview Public School in Addison, is one of five known people in the world to be diagnosed with Stat 1 mutation. Kael is one of two currently living, the other a three-year-old boy living in Tokyo. The disease is terminal and there’s the possibility he won’t live past the age of 12. However, his best chance at extending his life is a bone marrow transplant. In a stroke of luck, his four-year-old brother Eamon is a bone marrow match and will be his donor when he heads to Sick Kids Hospital Nov. 1 for the transplant.

Kael’s parents, Emily and Andrew Morrison, are hoping their personal story will encourage more people to become bone marrow donors and help save lives. According to Canadian Blood Services, which also operates OneMatch, a stem cell and marrow network that services the country, 70 per cent of people who need a stem cell transplant don’t find one within their family. Emily said that’s why it’s so important for people to register with the network. “Hopefully our story will move people, even if it’s just one, to become a donor and change someone’s life.

Being a donor proves that anyone can be a life saver and make a difference,�

Emily noted.

Six-year-old Kael Morrison of Frankville, right, clowns around with four-year-old brother Eamon, on the family farm recently. Kael was diagnosed with Stat 1 mutation, a rare immune deficiency disorder and will be heading to Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto for a bone marrow transplant next month. His broth-

er Eamon, a bone marrow match, will be his donor. A benefit concert for Kael is scheduled for Friday, Oct. 11 at the Royal Canadian Legion branch in Toledo, featuring popular band, the Fabulous BelAirs and donations for the family can be made at any area CIBC location.

Long road It’s taken a number of years of tests and consultations with doctors until Kael was finally diagnosed with the disorder on his fifth birthday.

Emily said it all started when he was 18 months of age and began getting yeast infections on his face and mouth. He was prescribed rounds of antibiotics, but the condition would reappear after two weeks.

While pregnant with Eamon, Emily was referred to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario’s (CHEO) infectious diseases department where the doctors determined Kael had herpes. The following week, they weren’t so sure in their diagnosis. “Two weeks after, another doctor called who had seen Kael’s blood work and noticed something off about his immune system,� she explained. “We were given a regime for bathing and two different kinds of oral medicine and were to call the second we saw anything.�

That medicine seemed to do the trick. The period between Kael’s flare ups stretched from two weeks, to three and four, until he was infection free for three months. Emily said Kael often complained of headaches, sore See KAEL page 4

legs and would tire easier than the other kids, but she and Andrew initially thought they were just symptoms of growing pains.

Doctors were still concerned with his failing immune system and Kael was then referred to the immunology department at Sick Kids Hospital. Emily found out he had lost his immunity to measles and had contracted tetanus more times than he should have.

“Just before he turned three, we started going to Sick Kids (Hospital) every six months and they would take blood work. They’d take 16 vials every time and would run all these tests for genetic disorders,” Emily said.

Then, on Kael’s fifth birthday, doctors asked Emily to come to Toronto for a special visit. Emily and her sister Lacey took Kael for the appointment as Andrew was planting crops at home. It was then that doctors officially diagnosed Kael with an immune deficiency disorder. Emily noted there are five classes of disorders, including HIV and severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID).

“Doctors don’t know where on the spectrum he is and they don’t know when he got sick or how sick he was going to get. They said we just have to wait,” she said.

With Andrew on speakerphone, the doctor told them Kael’s condition was terminal “and they don’t see him living past the age of 12,” Emily stated.

“This is a kid who might often have a runny nose, but he’s not a sickly kid,” she continued. “I said ‘You’re telling me that the healthy little boy running around, smiling, that I have six years

Connected to your community

with him?’”

In shock and determined to do anything it takes, Emily asked the doctor if pulling Kael out of hockey or changing the family’s lifestyle would have any effect.

“I wanted to know what I could do, but I can’t pull him out of hockey or clean my house more because there will still be something he’ll catch,” she explained. “It’s a parent’s worst nightmare. You can’t do anything but watch it happen.” “…You can’t control the healthy part of it, but you can control how happy they are,” Emily added.

She said one of the most difficult things was how to break the news to immediate family. After telling family members, it took most a few days to let everything sink in. As Stat 1 mutation is a genetic disorder, both Emily and Andrew were tested and found out they aren’t carriers. Eamon, nor the couple’s other two children, 15-month-old Lochlan and eight-year-old Charlotte, have it either.

Benefit concert Doctors said that Kael’s best chance is a bone marrow transplant done when he is healthy, said Emily. They received news of Eamon’s match in July, which she referred to as a blessing.

“If you don’t have a match in the family, it’s next to impossible to find one,” she explained.

The operation requires extensive preparation, including 10 days of chemotherapy drugs and isolation for Kael, prior to surgery. Emily and Andrew will be staying with him for the month before the transplant is performed.

She said that Kael doesn’t fully un-

derstand the “severity of the surgery.”

“He knows that he has to go to the hospital and one day he’s happy to go away because he was given a tablet to communicate with family, but in his head, he thinks he’ll be away for a few days,” she remarked. “Slowly, he’s clueing in that he is going to be gone until spring.”

“Then, after the surgery, we wait four weeks until the transplant takes over his system, but that whole time he has to be in isolation, in a sterile environment,” Emily said.

Eamon’s part will be done through day surgery and marrow will be taken from his hip bone. He will face some slight discomfort for a week after the surgery.

“He’s only four though, so we’re not sure, emotionally, how he will handle it, but he should be healed after a week,” Emily stated.

Kael will have to stay in Toronto for up to six months following the transplant and Emily and Andrew will be taking turns staying with him. Family members will help care for their other children back home. They will all communicate via email, Skype and video messaging.

“We’re going to stay in touch as much as possible,” Emily said. “…We want them (children) to stay in their own beds and not be shipped around.

We’ve trying to keep their lives as normal as possible.”

Due to the living expenses and transportation costs, which are expected to be substantial, close family and friends have banded together to organize a benefit concert featuring popular ‘50s and ‘60s rock and roll band, the Fabulous BelAirs, at the Royal Canadian Legion

Branch 475 in Toledo on Friday, Oct. 11. The event runs from 8 p.m. to midnight and will also feature raffle prizes.

Tickets are not available in advance, but a $10 minimum donation is being asked for in lieu of admission per person at the door. All proceeds from the concert will go directly to Kael’s hospitalization costs. The legion is donating the hall and the Fabulous BelAirs are also waiving their performance fee. A.R.T. Studio will provide sound and lighting.

Emily indicated that the funds will go towards parking and hotel fees, as well as the costly medications Kael will have to be on following his transplant.

They are hoping to cut down on costs by staying at Ronald McDonald House, and are currently on a waiting list.

For more information on the benefit concert or to help in any way, contact Lacey Knapp at 613-803-0137.

Those who aren’t able to attend the concert but still wish to make a donation can do so at any CIBC branch throughout the area. A trust has been set up in Kael Morrison’s name and the account number is 23-79139.

Upper Canada Sports League expands News – The Upper Canada District School Board has expanded its popular elementary sports league to add a Grades 4 to 6 division as well as two new sports for the 2013-2014 school year.

The Upper Canada Sports League will add soccer and cross country running to its yearly lineup – on top of track and field, basketball, and volleyball – which were introduced last year, said superintendent David Coombs. All events will be played in both the Grades 7 to 8 division and the new Grades 4 to 6 division.

The league, established in the 20122013 school year, has been expanded to bring more athletic opportunities to elementary students within the board, said Coombs. “Up until now, the athletic opportunities offered to our elementary students have been very un-

even across the board,” said Coombs.

“In some areas, they have been very well-organized and in others they have not. We want to even the opportunities for all of our students, no matter where they go to school.

The two divisions will each be split into six competitive regions. The champions from each region will gather to compete for the Upper Canada Cup championship in each sport. The competitions will be held at different times during the year including: crosscountry running, September and October; soccer, October and November; basketball, January and February; volleyball, March and April; and track and field, May and June.

The first Upper Canada Cup championship will be the cross-country event.

It is set for Oct. 30 at Memorial Park in Brockville.

See fall colours from Lanark County’s highest peak at nature walk Oct. 5

R0012172507_TF

Community – The scenery from the top of Blueberry Mountain is spectacular any time of year, but during the changing of the leaves the panoramic view is absolutely breathtaking.

To take advantage of this annual display, the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust Conservancy (MMLTC) will hold its fall colours Nature Walk at Blueberry Mountain on Saturday, Oct. 5.

The event will include guided hikes for all ages and abilities and the renowned naturalist Grey Owl has promised to make a special appearance. It only takes about 45 minutes for the Blueberry Express walk directly, but leisurely, up the mountain and it’s fairly easy walking, with one short steep climb at the very top. The longer Old Cedar Ramble passes through an ancient cedar grove, with one towering cedar estimated more than 300 years old. The Budding Naturalist Circuit will provide opportunities for kids to explore the wonders of nature along the way.

In 2009, the Clifford family placed a conservation easement on this 1,250 property, now known as cliffLAND, so that it would be forever a protected wilderness property accessible to the public.

Already this year, Blueberry Mountain has had more than 500 visitors, a growing number of them international. There have even been several marriage proposals at the top! Climbers include an 80Plus Club and two Kids’ Clubs, one for under 12-years-old and another for under five.

The tremendous popularity of this beautiful spot resulted in it being voted by county residents as one of the Seven Wonders of Lanark County.

Registration for the Nature Walk begins at 9:30 a.m. on Oct. 5 so that the hike can start at 10 a.m. Since this is a fundraising event, a $10 donation is requested. Children under 12 are free.

Local councillor praises columnist for thoughts on roundabouts DEAR EDITOR: Editor’s note: The following letter is in response to a column

by Jeff Maguire, which appeared in the Sept. 12 edition of the EMC, entitled ‘Kept simple, roundabouts can be very useful.’

Kudos goes out to Jeff Maguire for recognizing the value of roundabouts. Extensive engineering studies offer proof of what Jeff mentions.

They are indeed safer by a wide margin and more efficient at moving traffic.

In addition, they offer ‘green’ benefits because they eliminate idling at intersections. In Mississippi Mills, the residents have taken to the Almonte roundabout like ducks to water despite all the initial guffawing and skepticism.

Let’s have more of them! After all, who can be against, increased safety, efficiency and environmental improvements?

Editorial – Enjoy a ‘Coffee Break’ with the Alzheimer Society of Lanark County.

The 18th annual nationwide Coffee Break campaign for the Alzheimer Society kicked off Sept. 19 and runs throughout this month.

Every dollar raised is vital for the agency so they can continue to provide the many services and supports to the community.

According to information provided by the Alzheimer Society, one in 11 Canadians over the age of 65 currently has Alzheimer’s or a related dementia and this year alone, more than 103,000 Canadians will develop dementia.

The local Alzheimer Society is more than just an organization which hands out brochures and information – it provides support groups, support and education programming, funds research to find a cure and improve the care of people with dementia, promotes education and connects people with dementia as well as their family and caregivers with helpful programs and services.

Big or small, the society is looking for folks to take part, to either host a coffee party, to just put a pot of coffee out at lunch time or breakfast time and collect donations, have a dress-up or dress-down day at work, barbecue, pot luck, or just encourage people to donate online.

All that needs to be done to take part is to call the local society and to register.

For further information about any of the events, the campaign or to register to hold a Coffee Break please call the local Alzheimer Society office at 613-264-0307 (toll-free: 1-800-511-1911) or visit www.alzheimer.ca/lanark.

Central was a vital link between isolation and the neighbours Lifestyle – It was a complete mystery to me. I never thought much about it before Uncle Lou, with his usual feeling of compassion for Mother, installed our first telephone out on the farm in Northcote. But once that beautiful oak contraption was hung on our wall in the kitchen, I was in complete awe of how someone not even in our house, knew when we wanted to talk to someone miles away, or they wanted to talk to us.

That someone was right inside Briscoe’s General Store! She sat on a padded chair in front of a big board with holes in it, and long cords trapped in a desk-like affair in front of her. Usually, a light would come on, but sometimes a little bell would ring, and she would know exactly what to do with those cords and the holes in the board with the red lights flashing!

Sometimes, Mr. Briscoe manned what was called the switchboard himself, but I have little memory of his voice coming into our oak phone on the kitchen wall. It was someone we simply called “Central”.

The very first day we got the phone,

will stay in my mind forever. Mother cried. Not from sadness, but from the sheer wonder of finally being able to talk to someone at will beyond the four walls of our old log house.

That first night, we sat around the kitchen waiting for the phone to ring.

There was no looking through Eaton’s catalogue that night, or whittling or playing cards at the pine table. Even Mother’s diaries never left the backto-the-wall cupboard. We sat in a circle as if we were in a theatre. Only Father wasn’t that impressed.

Finally, it came around to bedtime, and it looked very much like the phone was not going to ring. It was Mother who decided, if no one was going to ‘call in’, then she would ‘call out’.

She went to the beautiful new phone, which I thought was every bit as nice as the new oak ice box grandfather bought for us, and took the receiver off the hook, and pressed a little black button on the side of the box.

“Could I please talk to Bertha Thom,” she said into the black mouthpiece. And there it was! There was Mother talking to Aunt Bertha! It was just as if she was Vice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount mmount@perfprint.ca 613-283-3182, ext. 104

in another room, and not across the 20acre field on the next farm.

When the phone was put in that day, we were told our ring was ‘two longs and a short’. It didn’t take us long to know the rings of everyone else in Northcote. But it really didn’t matter if we knew the right rings or not, because “Central” as we called the switchboard at Briscoes General Store, was well acquainted with the rings of everyone for miles around.

Having a phone was not without its problems. When it rang, it could be for any number of homes in Northcote! As many as four or even five other families shared the line!

to listen in, everyone who took off their receiver where privileged to your conversation. And it wasn’t unusual to have your complete conversation repeated the next day at the General Store!

It also wasn’t unusual to pick up the receiver and ask Central if she knew where Mrs. Hines was...her advice was needed. And Central always knew where everyone was. Sometimes when Mother rang a neighbour, Central would come on and say, “Oh, she’s gone into Renfrew to Walkers...she needed some lace trim for a blouse she’s making. She should be back in a couple hours...do you want me to ring you when she gets home?”

Central was the lifeblood of the entire neighbourhood. If there was a fire, or any other emergency, somehow Central was able to ring all the farms at the same time, at least that seemed to be the case. Because everyone responded in jig time to give a helping hand where needed.

Of course you didn’t need Central if you knew the ring of the person you were calling. You just pressed the little black button on the side of the telephone ADVERTISING SALES: ADVERTISING SALES CO-ORDINATOR Andrea Harding SALES: Cheryl Johnston, Sharon Sinfield, Kathy Perreault, Liz Gray, Kevin Hoover, Jamie Rae-Gomes Email: emcsales@perfprint.ca Fax: 613-283-9988 THE DEADLINE FOR DISPLAY ADVERTISING IS MONDAY 4:30 PM

and twirled the handle on the other side, giving the number of rings to reach whomever you wanted to talk to.

And it wasn’t unusual for Central to interrupt your call to tell you some important bit of news, or to say someone else was trying to get the phone, and would you please hurry it up and free up the line! It was different when Mr. Briscoe was answering a call. With him it was all business...no time for idle chatter with Mr. Briscoe!

Mother always felt safer once we had the phone put in on the farm. Some of the isolation she felt when she first moved to Northcote was gone. It was my sister Audrey who noticed it. “It’s not exactly like New York,” Audrey said. “But for Mother it beats not being able to talk to another soul without getting out the horse and buggy or the old Model T.” Yes indeed. The new phone made a world of difference to our lives on the farm. And “Central”, I thought back then, was just about the most important person in Northcote. She was that vital link between isolation and connection with a neighbour.

by Tim Hudak. Not for under performing, but simply because he didn’t bow down to Tim Hudak! Once more, urban politicians are slapping rural Ontarians in the face!

We’ve lost one of the best voices for rural interests we’ve ever had!

Perhaps it’s time we should be thinking outside the box, looking in a new direction. Form a Conservative Landowners Party in Ontario. Don’t go into it with the aim of forming a government, go into it with the aim of splitting the Conservative and small one Liberal vote, electing 10 to 12 members

from rural ridings, to act as our spokesmen, to have enough members to carry the balance of power on contentious legislation, to ensure rural concerns are listened to in Queens Park, not just ignored by controlling interests like Tim Hudak et al.

Vote for good legislation, vote down legislation that’s bad for rural individuals/communities – a party where an MPP could freely vote his/her constituents’ views without fear of reprisal from urban party members.

I’m quite confident if a new party constructed along these lines it would bring out many people who haven’t been voting...if they can see where their vote actually does count,

they’d be more interested in voting.

We already have a vehicle in place to start up this new party, the Ontario Landowners Association, which was originally lead by Randy Hillier. Using the landowners as a base, forming a new party, and getting onto the ballot in the next Ontario election, would certainly give the urban politicians pause for reflection, that maybe, just maybe, many Ontarians are fed up with their antics?

Think about it, and let’s get started on it!

DEAR EDITOR: Many Canadians don’t exercise their right to vote. Why not? Could it possibly be they don’t feel governments listen to them?

That’s the problem many, many rural Ontarians have faced for years...they vote in an MPP, yet the individual always supports the party line. It’s rare that an MPP will actually vote his/her constituents views if they go against the party line.

We in Lanark-Frontenac are lucky, we actually have a representative that listens to and acts on his constituents concerns, and is not afraid to go against the party line. Yet, when he did so, Randy Hillier

United Way flag flies at Lanark County offices Community – On the morning of Sept. 25, flag raising ceremonies were held at the County of Lanark Offices to celebrate the start of the 2013 annual Fall Fundraising Campaign of the United Way Lanark County. The flag was first raised at Lanark Lodge, and then at the main office of the County in Perth. Staff members of the County of Lanark and Lanark Lodge are strong supporters of the United Way Lanark County through pay roll deductions, and contributed nearly $9000 dollars to last year’s campaign. Above right, staff from Lanark Lodge join United Way executive director Fraser Scantlebury (left), warden Bill Dobson (third from left, behind), county CAO Kurt Greaves (third from right) and Deborah Pidgeon, director of Lanark Lodge (second from right) at the flag raising ceremony outside Lanark Lodge. Above, Scantlebury, Greaves and Dobson are joined by Annette Scott, long time employee campaign chair for Lanark County who spearheads the employee donation effort, for the flag raising ceremonies outside the county offices.

Dreams come alive as children take Walt Disney World day trip

By BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

News – The classic Cinderella’s castle at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom made the little girls gasp and mouths drop open.

“This way to the princesses,” said the guide, an elderly man who told the girls to call him Grandpa Joe. The six little girls, members of a group of children selected to travel from Ottawa to Orlando, Fla. with the Dreams Take Flight program, wasted no time making their way across the amusement park, stopping only to point at the rides and Disney characters.

“You look enchanting,” one of the little girls said to Princess Aurora.

“It’s so romantic,” said another.

The girls were just some of the 110 local children who travelled with Dreams Take Flight, a Canadian program that takes deserving children from a variety of backgrounds on a trip to Disney World.

Several children on the Sept.

24 flight had a sibling with au-

tism or their own medical issues.

Others live in foster care, or their family’s income prohibits trips like this.

But Dreams Take Flight allowed the children to fly, eat, spend a day a day at Disney World and pick out a special souvenir to take home thanks to donations.

The program was started by Air Canada staffers, who volunteer their time – including the pilot who flew the day trip’s plane – to take children in small groups around the park.

Most of the kids had never been on an airplane or outside Canada.

Many of the children agreed that it was one of the best days of their lives.

Hunter Donnelly-McPhail’s mom saved news of the surprise trip for Aug. 18, his birthday.

“I couldn’t stand up any longer, I had to sit down,” he said about when he first heard he was headed to Disney World.

The flight – his first ever – was almost too much excitement to handle for Hunter, who wants to be a flight attendant. The volunteer flight crew, dressed in

Disney costumes, made him an honourary flight attendant for the day.

He followed the attendants up and down the aisles as he handed out chips and candy.

None of the children had ever been to Disney World, but almost all of them were eager to ride the roller coasters. Splash Mountain was easily the children’s favourite ride.

Towards the end of the day, as a train full of Dreams Take Flight kids and volunteers cruised into the end of the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, it was clear that the kids were having a special day, as cheers of “dreams take flight” echoed through the boarding area.

Taequan Moise was all smiles the entire day, from the time he arrived at Disney World waving at the volunteers, to the plane ride home when he was one of the only children awake on the plane ride home.

Taequan said he could probably stay home from school to rest after the 20-hour day trip, but he wanted to tell his friends about his day.

“I would tell them about the

rides, but about the food mostly. Fries, burgers, hot dogs,” he said.

The kids had an early start to their day, arriving at the airport at 4 a.m. at a private hangar.

They travelled in style, receiving a police escort straight to the theme park once arriving in Orlando.

They received VIP treatment: fast passes that ushered them to

the front of lines on all the Disney rides throughout the day and a brand new outfit of donated shoes from Crocs and clothes from Mark’s Work Wearhouse.

While there were a few skinned knees and tears from first-time flyers, the number of smiles and looks of disbelief far outnumbered any frowns.

Many only needed one word – “amazing”, “best” or “great” – to

describe their day, a dream come true, as they slowly came down from the sugar high and dozed to sleep on the plane ride home.

“It was really, really, really fun,” said Hunter. “From a scale from one to 10, it would be a thousand million. A thousand million and one.”

REGIONAL NEWS

Connected to your community

News – In today’s economic climate, municipal governments are facing increased demands on maintaining infrastructure while senior level government financing is being reduced. In order to ensure sustainability, municipalities must take a hard stance on cost control.

Lanark County, like all municipalities, is under constant pressure to ensure infrastructure is maintained.

County council and staff have worked hard to ensure infrastructure is a priority and a balanced approach is taken to tax increases. Despite the Social Services upload and annual budget surpluses over the last five years the infrastructure gap in Lanark County has grown significantly. In order to ensure the continued investment in County infrastructure the administration must be run as efficiently as possible.

As the result of an administrative review, Lanark County is restructuring corporate administration to optimize operational efficiencies and financial resources. This restructuring process will impact clerk’s services, finance, human resources and information technology operations and will result in a net sav-

ings on the county budget of approximately $425,000 per year.

The county administration is being refocused to the support role of its core functions: social services, public works and long term care. There are no new positions being created but existing positions are being re-aligned and/or expanded to share the responsibilities of the former director positions. The chief administrative officer/treasurer will assume the role of clerk, and the deputy treasurer role will now be responsible for internal services (finance, employee services and information technology).

The deputy clerk role will be responsible for external services (planning, tourism, clerk’s services and emergency services).

Warden Bill Dobson (Montague reeve) commented, “This is the hardest decision this council has had to make, but it had to be done. Council is committed to these steps to address today’s fiscal reality. We need to not only maintain but enhance our infrastructure to facilitate economic growth and we must remain respectful of every taxpayer.”

Submitted by the County of Lanark.

REGIONAL NEWS

Connected to your community

Volunteering is a calling for seven in 10 Canadians raising activities which are an ongoing, year-in and year-out program for so many groups and institutions. Pretty difficult to operate without funds!

Various involvements I have worked on numerous committees although I won’t go into detail. But among my involvements were sitting on a local committee aimed at reducing substance abuse in the district. I also served on the Journalism Advisory Committee at my alma mater, Algonquin College in Ottawa for more than a decade and chaired the group for several years.

I was asked to join the Carleton Place Business Improvement Association and spent 11 years with the organization including four as chairman. I’ve been a member of Lanark County Crime Stoppers since its inception in 1992 and currently chair the board of directors.

My volunteering ramped up when I joined the Carleton Place Sister City Committee in 2006, along with my wife Kathleen. The committee oversees twinning arrangements involving Carleton Place and its sister communities of Comrie, Scotland and Franklin, Tennessee USA. Since 2010 I have chaired the 15-member organization.

I am semi-retired so I have time to devote to community causes that younger, working people don’t.

I am no different than so many volunteers in my community and in places across the country.

So, what is the motivation some people might ask?

I think most volunteers do what they do because of a desire to assist their fellow citizens and probably because of the social aspect involved in volunteering. In my case I have been fortunate enough to make many lifelong friendships as a result of volunteering. As with everything, you have to like what you are doing in order to be a volunteer!

Nationally the number of community volunteers is staggering. A survey released in early June shows that an astounding seven in 10 of us is a volunteer.

On the other hand a 2012 Statistics Canada report showed that people’s willingness to volunteer isn’t necessarily matched by their commitment to it. The Stats Can survey determined that just 10 per cent of the country’s volunteer force accounted for more than half of the hours donated. The report is based on data collected in 2010 but that is considered “current” by standards.

I’m not surprised by the results. In my experience most volunteer committees and organizations have a core group

Reflections JEFF MAGUIRE

of individuals who handle the majority of the hard work.

That scenario is also played out in the workforce, so why would volunteer organizations be different?

In the story I read on this subject back in June, a spokesman for the United Way in Toronto lent a note of optimism to the discussion. She said the future for volunteering looks bright, thanks to baby boomers (people like me) who are now retiring. She also noted that many younger people are showing a high commitment to volunteering which should provide a huge boost to so many organizations.

As I have already mentioned, most volunteers questioned cite a desire to “give back to the community” as their main motivating factor.

Other potential benefits outlined include a sense of duty, the opportunity to meet new people along with gaining experience which will help them professionally.

Interestingly many volunteers also pointed to “stress reduction” as one of the reasons they assist community organizations despite no remuneration.

My own advice is don’t become a volunteer in hopes of lowering your stress. Because the truth is volunteerism also carries its own level of stress, something I can attest to.

Most are asked Data also indicates that fewer than 30 per cent of people volunteer of their own volition. Most Canadian volunteers were prompted by a request to assist a particular cause or organization.

Of course it is always best for volunteers to assist in areas which can benefit most from their skill set and their interests.

It’s true that I have blown my own horn in this week’s column. But if you are looking for recognition, volunteering is probably the least likely way for you to achieve that objective. The truth is most volunteer activities go unheralded!

I’m an exception to the rule. In 2004 I was fortunate enough to be named Citizen of the Year in Carleton Place.

The award goes annually to a community volunteer and you have to be nominated. A selection panel then chooses the successful nominee(s) who is honoured during the town’s annual Appreciation Night held in December.

In Carleton Place there

have only been 40 recipients of this particular volunteer award since it was first instituted in 1974. That includes

two couples.

Most volunteers are never formally recognized for their efforts, no matter how considerable and lengthy their commitment.

Obviously I was incredibly surprised and very honoured.

But I also realize that in 2004 I was actually representing all of the outstanding and unsung volunteers in Carleton Place.

This week I would like to salute all the volunteers across

our district, our province and our country who contribute so much to the lifeblood of their communities. Without them we would be so much poorer.

In conclusion I ask anyone who is considering volunteering to please do so. Your community needs you!

Lifestyle – How many special events are running in your community this coming weekend?

It is early October, one of the busiest times of the year in Canada with activities and events of all kinds on the go.

Community calendars feature a lengthy list of indoor and outdoor happenings as numerous organizations wind up their fundraising for the year. Following the holiday weekend, fall harvest activities move to the top of the list and Halloween is just around the corner. After that the preChristmas bazaars move into full swing.

Virtually all of the events and activities which take place in Canadian communities throughout the year involve volunteers. Without volunteers very few of the countless, worthwhile happenings which take place in your community and mine would get off the ground. Local volunteers are the fuel for the engine!

Even more important are the volunteers who are dedicated to protecting our property and our lives.

I am thinking about volunteer firefighters, rescue squads and search teams who regularly put their lives on the line to assist others.

Volunteer firefighters protect nearly 90 per cent of Canadian communities, most of which are small, rural centres.

They not only fight fires but are also well qualified in first aid and are often the first responders to assist heart attack victims and other medical emergency cases. Estimates are that there are between 85,000 and 100,000 volunteer firefighters across the nation.

The truth is that without volunteers, many communities could not afford to provide fire protection which I’m sure those living in urban centres would find unimaginable.

In the whole scheme of things there are emergency service volunteers and then there are the rest.

But it is clear that without volunteers in general, most communities could not provide many other important services. Volunteers assist in virtually every sector of every township, village, town and city in Canada.

I’m proud to say that I have been a volunteer for nearly 40 years, starting when our children were young and involved in amateur sports. I can vividly recall coaching my son, his friends and other lads from the Carleton Place community in Tee-Ball. The “young lads” I refer to are now in their late 30s.

As a career journalist I have been tapped by a number of organizations, including the local hospital, to assist with public relations. Those roles were often tied to the fund-

When I am not teaching kids about fire safety, you can usually find me in the kitchen. Letting kids help in the kitchen is a great way to teach them about cooking safety and the importance of eating healthy. Here’s one of my favorite recipes. Before you begin, make sure to read my Kids in the Kitchen tips. These tips can help you figure out what you’re old enough to do on your own – and when it’s time to ask a grown-up for help.

- 2 raisins

Directions: 1. Cut a thin vertical slice from the side of your apple (this will be the snail’s body).

2. Cut a celery stick that is about 1” longer than the width of the apple slice.

3. Fill the inside of the celery stick with peanut butter, and put aside..

4. Now put some peanut butter in the plastic bag and snip just the corner off.

5. Lay your apple slice down on a flat surface. Gently squeezing your plastic bag of peanut butter, add a swirl.

6. Add the “raisin” eyes to one end of the celery (on the peanut butter). Add the thin strips of carrots for antennae.

7. Now carefully attach the apple slice onto the celery stalk.

The pros and cons of leasing versus financing a vehicle Lifestyle – “Dear Brian, My sister recently took out a lease on a 2014 Kia Soul, saying the offer was just too good to pass up. Kia threw in four mounted winter tires and a driver compartment slush catcher thingy, whose name I don’t know. I’d appreciate your take on leasing versus buying from the financial and maintenance angles.

As a separate but related issue, what is your rule of thumb regarding when one should replace one’s vehicle based on the financial issues only (some people trade on alternate years ‘just because’). As the owner of a 2005 AWD Pontiac Vibe which has already cost me $2,000 for both rear wheel bearings and rear differential rebuild, I don’t know how long I should hold on to this one; I drive about 10,000 km per year on highways mainly.�

In appreciation and sincerely, Undecided Great question(s)! Leasing is making a strong comeback from its near-demise in the midst of the last recession. Then many carmakers got extremely toasty (read: burned) from the losses they incurred when the endof-lease values they placed on their vehicles turned out to be considerably more than the units were worth in that very depressed market of the time. Now leasing has almost returned to its pre-recession popularity. Its acceptance is due mainly to the fact that it lets consumers enjoy lower monthly payments on extremely well-equipped vehicles, but there are bumps in the leasing road ahead for the uninitiated, so here’s a little food for thought.

Leasing companies (including those run by auto manufacturers) have tightened up on their lease terms. Vehicles nowadays must be returned at the end of the lease in almost readyto-sell condition, with very little wear and tear or else the customer faces

major bills. This is severe enough that most car dealerships are offering ‘wear and tear’ insurance to their leasing clients to avoid them getting stung at the contract’s termination. If you have to buy insurance to protect yourself from a lease contract, what does that say about the terms? Carmakers will respond that the fault lies with the drivers of the past who did little or no maintenance to their leased vehicles and it’s the automaker that needs protection.

Another concern with leasing is the mileage restriction clause. At the onset of every lease, the anticipated distance travelled must be spelled out in the lease with penalties assigned for overages. Often a consumer’s commuting situation may change in the middle of a leasing term and always for the worse. Then at the end of their contract their vehicle has travelled far too many kilometres and they face a major bill to reconcile things.

On the plus side, leasing can be a very beneficial alternative to purchase financing. Most consumers find that a purchase plan that pays off the vehicle loan before its useful life ends carries unmanageable monthly payments.

Therefore they would be unlikely to reap a trade-in benefit when purchasing the next vehicle. Leasing avoids this by only charging for the depreciation of the vehicle during its time in service. And smart lessees can inflate their monthly payments to create a guaranteed end value that would be lower than actual retail pricing. This lets them buy out and own their auto for less than its current value or use that positive ledger point as a down payment on their next vehicle whether leased or purchased.

Many drivers travel predictable and stable distances annually, and properly maintain their rides so these factors aren’t a risk when they choose to

lease. And of course leases, usually having shorter terms than purchase financing (four years versus six years or more) allow customers to take advantage of newer models with improved equipment and up-to-date styling. The thrill of driving a new vehicle is hard to put a price tag on.

Whether leasing is right for our undecided can only be determined by his or her own factors in daily driving life. With regards to the current 2005 Pontiac Vibe, while we may keep vehicles longer on average, the 10-year/250,000 km guide still applies. This is the average lifespan that most mainstream automakers build to.

Certainly some last longer and many reach earlier graves but those limits are still there. Some easy rules for determining when it’s time to consider retiring a ride are: a) When you’re faced with a single repair event that approaches the current wholesale value of the vehicle and/or

Once a breast cancer diagnosis has been confirmed, the next step is to determine the stage and grade of the disease. The TNM (tumour, nodes, and metastases) classification system is the most commonly used for breast cancer. The TNM system determines the size of the tumour and if the cancer has spread, or metastasized, to other parts of the body.

Generally speaking, there are five recognized stages: • 0: the cancer is at a very early stage. Atypical cells have not spread beyond the ducts or lobules into surrounding breast tissue • 1: the tumour measures 2 cm or less.

The cancer has not spread beyond the breast. • 2: the size of the tumour is between 2 and 5 cm, and/or the cancer has

spread to nearby lymph nodes. • 3: the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes and may also be found in the muscles or the skin. • 4: cancer has spread to other organs or tissues.

Once the developmental stage has been established, the healthcare team then determines the grade, or the rapidity of growth and aggressiveness of the cancer, with a microscopic examination of the biopsy tissues. • Grade 1: low • Grade 2: medium • Grade 3: high Knowing the stage and grade of breast cancer is an important step in the fight against this disease; it is what allows the woman and her healthcare team to choose the most appropriate treatment.

What is breast cancer?

Breast cancer starts in the cells of the breast. The breast tissue covers an area larger than just the breast. It extends up to the collarbone and from the armpit across to the breastbone in the centre of the chest. The breasts sit on the chest muscles that cover the ribs.

Each breast is made of glands, ducts (thin tubes) and fatty tissue. Lobules are groups of glands that can produce milk. Milk ows from the lobules through a network of ducts to the nipple. The nipple is in the centre of a darker area of skin called the areola. Fatty tissue ďŹ lls the spaces between the lobules and ducts and protects them.

A woman’s breasts may feel different at different times of her menstrual cycle, sometimes becoming lumpy just before her period. Breast tissue also changes with age. Breast tissue in younger women is mostly made of glands and milk ducts, but older women’s breasts are made up mostly of fatty tissue.

The breasts also contain lymph vessels and lymph nodes, which are part of the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system helps ďŹ ght infections. Lymph vessels move lymph uid to the lymph nodes. Lymph nodes trap bacteria, cancer cells and other harmful substances.

There are groups of lymph nodes near the breast under the arm, near the collarbone and in the chest behind the breastbone.

Cancer cells may start within the ducts (this is called ductal carcinoma) or in the lobules (lobular carcinoma). Ductal carcinoma is the most common type of breast cancer.

The Ontario-wide Natural Homes Tour is taking place across the province this Sunday, Oct. 6. Above, this Perth area home is one of the 35 others that will be featured throughout the region.

Natural homes in area open to public Sunday, Oct. 5 Community – Experience the look and feel of some unique green homes during the popular annual Ontariowide Natural Homes selfguided tour, Sunday, Oct. 6, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., being organized by the Ontario Natural Building Coalition, a grassroots organization dedicated to the promotion of natural building.

An off-grid straw bale home and a LEED’s standard house with a straw bale studio, are among those welcoming visitors to explore their confines, together with 35 others across the Perth area and beyond.

A $10 passport – or a donation – provides admission to as many places across the province as you can visit in the day.

Directions and other tour

details are available at www. osbbc.ca. For those without Internet access, call 1-877872-9225 before the day of the tour.

This tour is the perfect opportunity to step right inside some natural buildings, see what they are like, and get honest feedback from the owners about all aspects of their homes.

Most structures feature other “green” technologies as well, including solar and wind electricity, composting toilets, earthen plasters, green roofs, natural finishes and more innovations.

Natural building may be the housing equivalent to the increasingly popular 100mile diet – living in energy efficient homes and additions that are crafted from mini-

mally processed, renewable and local materials. People choose natural homes for reasons ranging from energy efficiency, to the healthiness of the materials, to a desire for architecturally interesting and unique homes and additions.

There is an appeal for every interest and the demand continues to grow.

Captivated with the idea of strong, durable, super-insulated and beautiful homes that cost no more than conventional construction and which offer remarkable environmental benefits, more than 250 natural homes, offices, additions and even institutional buildings have been constructed in Ontario and Quebec over the last several years.

Connected to your community

For one terrifying night only: Interim CEO for Storm Internet Services Carnival Diablo in Carleton Place Business – Storm Internet Services Inc. (Storm) announced Sept. 13 that its board has appointed Arnold Kwong as the firm’s interim chief executive officer (CEO).

Kwong will lead the firm after Dave Chiswell who has served as CEO the last three years. During Chiswell’s tenure annual revenue grew more than 40 per cent, the DSL and fibre customer base grew by 50 per cent, and wireless customers doubled, with headcount up 40 per cent to more than 40 people.

Chiswell has taken on a new challenge as vice president of product development of the Ottawabased Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) where he will help the organization in the increasingly competitive domain name market by leading the pursuit of new product and service offerings. “We wish Dave every success in the future,� said Kwong. “Dave’s insights and operations lead Storm’s growth from key contracts and funding. During Dave’s tenure Storm’s expansion in Lanark and the Ottawa Valley added communities we serve. Dave’s results show in the response as Storm has opened new offices in Perth and Chesterville.�

As interim CEO, Kwong will lead the search for a permanent CEO for Storm. Over more than 20 years, Kwong has worked with MB Foster Associates Limited (Chesterville) where he

Community – Halloween isn’t the only terrifying night of the year.

Hypnotizing audiences for more than two decades, Carnival Diablo comes to Carambeck Community Centre in Carleton Place on Saturday, Oct. 26.

The town’s recreation and culture department sponsors the performance. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the chills and thrills begin promptly at 7:30 p.m. “We are very pleased to present Canada’s longest running sideshow,� said Jessica Smith, the town’s community planner, “and we just love working with Carnival Diablo.�

Tickets are $15 each, available at the door or in advance at the community centre. A small canteen will sell refreshments.

Scott McClelland is the evening’s main entertainer, playing the role of ring monster Nikolai Diablo.

McClelland, last year, brought his Asylum of Horrors to town, and in 2011, residents braved his Chamber of Horrors at the historic Moore House.

On Canada Day this year, many celebrated with Professor Crookshank in Riverside Park. “A lot of people travel from outside town to catch Scott’s shows,� said Smith. “They are so popular.�

A warning to parents, Carnival Diablo is not suitable for children under the age of 16. “It’s definitely not a family show,� said Smith.

Content is graphic and there are a number of astounding, dangerous feats that put human endurance to the test. To name a few: the human blockhead, iron tongue man, glass walking, razorblade swallowing, electric chair and bed of nails. For the first time on stage, Nikolai will attempt the infamous bullet catch – a trick so dangerous even the magnificent Harry Houdini wouldn’t try it.

Joining the ring monster in Carleton Place is the Gothic Lolita Ophelia, and Carnival Diablo is proud to introduce its newest human marvel – Omar the Impervious. He will be performing age-old Fakir stunts from India.

Showcased on the Discovery Channel, National Geographic Channel, TLC and more, Carnival Diablo is a show not to be missed. “Seating is limited to only 350 people,� said Smith. “To avoid being disappointed, everyone is encouraged to get their tickets early.�

McClelland’s background in carnivals and sideshows goes back three generations. From 1920 to 1968 his grandfather operated Canada’s largest travelling sideshow, and his grandmother was a sword swallower. “Carnival Diablo is the perfect lead in to Halloween,� said Smith.

Carambeck Community Centre is located at 351 Bridge St. For additional information relating to the show, contact Smith at 613-257-1704 or jsmith@carletonplace.ca.

is a principal consultant. Kwong’s career covers all facets of the industry from engineering developer and product manager to positions in operations, sales, compliance, and senior management. His work at carriers, Internet Service Providers and suppliers led to a thought leadership role at Gartner Group where he developed the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) methodologies for Data Networks and Telecommunications.

United Way helps those who get help return the favour

Charity sets $350,000 fundraising goal

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – While it may be better to give than to receive, by giving, those who get, can give back, in time.

At the United Way of Lanark County campaign Perth kick-off at The Masonry restaurant on Monday, Sept. 30, participants heard how just one program, YAK, supported by the United Way as one of its partner agencies, keeps the cycle of giving going long after the money has been placed.

For YAK member Will Huskinson, his membership has grown from passive to active in just a few years.

“It has meant a lot to me,” the Grade 12 Perth and District Collegiate Institute student said at the early morning breakfast meeting. “It was just a place to relax after school. Now, it has turned into a place to give back

to my community.”

He noted that high schools can be a tough environment, and that places like YAK provide a safe haven in the storms of teenage life.

“I’ve made lot of friends at YAK,” he said. “In fact, I’ve made all of my friends at YAK… (at YAK) everyone is equal, there is no discrimination or hate.”

He has helped host Magic tournaments through YAK, which also does work with the Perth Junior Civitan Club – but, he also just hangs out with friends and plays pool as well.

“He’s now turning around and giving back,” said Fraser Scantlebury, the executive director of the Lanark County United Way, of Huskinson’s words.

Scantlebury has raised the bar a bit higher this year for the group’s fundraising goal of $350,000, up from last year’s $330,000, which was met, and beaten, soundly.

“I don’t like goals,” he admitted. “But I do like personal goals.”

Last year, the United Way helped more than 8,000 people, and donated about $223,700 to about 45 partner agencies in the county. About one in sevenand-a-half people in the country need access to these services, but Scantlebury estimates that between 50 and 60 per cent of the county’s residents are touched in some way or other by the United Way. “Every dollar given to the United Way in the county, stays in the county,” said Scantlebury.

“A lot of other groups canvas for money in the county, but it does not stay here…(we want) to make sure that we have an impact on the local community, that is where we are driving.”

He pointed to the United Way’s logo, which was unveiled in 1972, as evidence of the group’s ongoing success.

“You know you have a good logo when it last that long,” he said, before pointing to the hand that makes up the logo’s bottom half. “It’s the helping hand that gives you a lift up to a better life.”

Often, the best way to a better life comes through training, to “give people skills so that they can move out of poverty.”

Tanis Cowan, YAK’s executive director, has seen this herself first-hand. Her group recently signed an agreement with Skills Link Canada where “we’re training youth and placing them with businesses for 20 weeks.” After their placement ends, “they will walk away from it with all of the certifications on their resume.”

Both YAK and the youth committee in Lanark Highlands Township have received a grant that will allow them to offer an after-school program for the next three years, with an emphasis on healthy living and fitness.

279 Canal Bank Road, Perth ON www.tayriverreflecƟons.com THE EMC - P1 - Thursday, October 3, 2013

Sports – Perth-born speed skater Myles Matheson would take great pride in standing beside his gay teammate, Anastasia Bucsis, should they have the opportunity to stand up as part of team Canada, and against Russia’s new anti-gay laws, in Sochi this February.

“I don’t think a boycott is a good idea, from the athlete’s point of view,” said Matheson, during an interview on Saturday, Sept. 28. “It would be pretty heart-breaking not to go.”

There had been calls this past summer for countries to boycott the 2014 Winter Games in Russia, or for the event to be moved back to Vancouver, site of the 2010 games. Russian President Vladimir Putin recently signed a law making it illegal to teach “propaganda” promoting gay rights. “My teammate, she is gay, so (there is) even more pressure for her,” said Matheson. “She feels it should not be boycotted.”

But even before Matheson gets to Russia, he still has to qualify for the team at the time trials on Dec. 28. Not to be overly confident, but Matheson feels he stands a good shot.

“I do pretty good in pressure situations,” said Matheson. “I’m a pretty cool dude! Those are usually my best times (under pressure). Some people freak out, but I have done it before and I know what to expect.”

The weekend found Matheson at a place where stress was nowhere to be found – in fact, a place that may have relieved him of some financial headaches, Cobra Pools and Spas off of Highway 7, where they had raised $5,241 towards helping

Speed skater Myles Matheson pulled winning #23 in the draw for a new hot tub at Cobra Pools and Spas on Saturday, Sept. 28.

The $5,241 raised from the sale of the ducks went to help with Matheson’s training costs. with his training costs.

The money was raised by the owners filling an empty hot tub with rubber duckies, and patrons buying a duck for $5 each. The winning duck was #23, the number of Ron Morrow of Perth, who won a new hot tub.

“To see those people helping out, is pretty amazing, especially that support,” said Matheson.

“I am on the cusp, up against people who don’t work or go to school,” giving him even stiffer competition to contend with.

He is in his third year of exercise physiology studies at the University of Calgary, and works at the Olympic oval as a skate technician. “Everyone is like, ‘Oh, you sharpen skates?!’” he said of his friends’ gentle teasing. “No, I shape skates,” more specifically, shaping the blade to fit the skate, oftentimes, some of the top skaters in the sport.

Help set the table for harvest campaign Community - On Saturday, Oct. 5 The Table Community Food Centre will launch the Harvest Campaign, its once-a-year appeal to the community for financial support. The launch will take place at the community lunch organized by The Perth Farmers Market.

Using seasonal produce purchased from market gardeners and producers, The Table’s community chef, Judy Dempsey, will serve a savoury lunch. Tickets are $10 and must be purchased in advance.

To purchase a ticket, call Sarah Mackenzie at 613-284-0578, email her at smackenzie@juno.com, or check out the Facebook page www.facebook.com/ PerthFarmersMarket. All proceeds from the event are being generously donated to The Table Community Food Centre.

The Table Community Food Centre offers innovative poverty- fighting, community-building programs.

More than eight per cent of our local population is living below the poverty line. You probably know someone who is struggling to make ends meet. A health, financial or other family crisis can suddenly leave your next door neighbour without money to pay bills.

Being a single mom, having a disability or living on social assistance also brings people to The Table. We also see a steadily growing number of the working poor who have little job security and no benefits.

The problems of poverty, hunger and poor health that affect our fellow Pertharea residents are widespread across Canada. The Table is a partner site of Community Food Centres Canada, an organization that’s working to create centres across the country that will address these problems by offering a prevention-focused mix of programs with food at their core.

By supporting The Table, you’re making a big impact in Perth and the surrounding area. And you become part of a larger movement calling for a more equitable and sustainable food system.

Participants tell us The Table is making a difference in their lives: • 57 per cent of participants surveyed have adopted healthier eating habits since coming to The Table.

“I’ve lowered my cholesterol and my blood pressure has gone now that I am not eating a lot of salt. I feel more

active now….” - participant in multiple programs • 50 per cent reported improvements in mental health “It’s getting me out of the house and doing something constructive….It has improved my mental health for sure.” participant in a community kitchen • 88 per cent said they felt like they belong at The Table “This Program is the best thing.

Before this I used to play video games after school. Here I make new friends.”

- child in the After-School Program To Help Set The Table during the Harvest Campaign, you can mail or drop off a donation at 190 Gore Street East, Perth ON, K7H 1K3 or donate on-line at www.thetablecfc.org. By donating you will help set the table for community meals, the Good Food Bank, cooking and gardening programs, social justice and advocacy programs. You will help fund 10 powerful programs that use food to build health, hope, dignity and community. “This place feeds the soul.”

Perth cartoonist seeks financial backing for children’s books Gerry Capelle has helped bring cartoon characters from The Raccoons, Arthur, and even the Jackson 5 to life

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Business – If Gerry Capelle was a cartoon, his current predicament might look like this.

A thought bubble pops up over his head for not one, but two, rhyming children’s books.

Looking at the price tag for the project, a look of surprise crosses Capelle’s face. Then, we hear the sound of a cash register, as the dollar signs fill his eyes.

Then, he searches his pockets – and pulls them all the way out, to reveal he is broke, as a moth flies out of one of the pockets.

As someone who has done storyboards for Saturday morning cartoons since the 1970s – and with apologies to a master on this subject – this might well be a good rough draft for what Capelle is going through right now.

That is why Capelle has put his projects up on

Kickstarter, an online crowd-sourcing site that lets people pitch their projects to the online donor community, and people then donate what they can. The idea of crowd-sourcing truly came to the fore this past spring when critics of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford banded together to raise money to buy the video of His Worship allegedly smoking drugs.

“It is in the doldrums,” he admits, as he looks at one of the computer screens on his drafting table during an interview at his Perth home on Monday, Sept. 23. “It needs a boost.”

He is worried about the video that accompanies the online pitch.

“It doesn’t have vitality,” he says.

He wants to re-shoot it.

“Do you have a movie camera, Desmond?” he asks, half in jest. “Things do fall apart at the last minute. I just sort of melted in front of the camera.”

As of that afternoon, the project had attracted 10 donors and raised more than $1,100 – though it will need $8,500 to get off the ground. He has an Oct. 11 deadline which, even if he makes the money by then, he has to wrap everything up by Nov. 1, when he starts storyboard work on the Arthur television series.

“When I start work on a storyboard, there isn’t time for anything else,” he says. “Even if I get it published, I have to get them sold.”

Surprisingly, for a man who has worked helping to entertain children for decades, this is his first venture into children’s publishing, away from Saturday morning and into the world of the likes of Robert Munsch and Shel Silverstein.

At age 68, “I want to make enough money to get by,” doing storyboards for the popular Arthur television series, leaving not much left over for such an ambitious project.

But two years ago or so, an idea came to him to incorporate some of the plot of the Gilbert and Sullivan light opera The Pirates of Penzance, and add a motorcycle gang. But, knowing what works, and what doesn’t work, with kids, he knows that “it’s not really good to have a motorcycle gang in a children’s book.”

So, the Harley-Davidsons were ditched for scooters.

Another story came to him thanks to a chat with a legendary animation director with whom he worked – and which has been rattling around in his head for the past 40 years.

Canadian George Dunning, the director for The Beatles’ cartoon movie Yellow Submarine (1967), was having lunch with Capelle one day when he See CARTOONIST page P7

Cartoonist branches out into new medium of children’s books From Page P6

recounted a conversation with a friend who was a paramedic. He asked what his most common call was, and was surprised to hear that it was usually for kids getting their heads stuck in the railings outside of schools.

“These are all stories in rhyme, it’s all iambic pentameter,” he adds proudly. “I don’t want to manufacture them for (any) other reason than my heart. I try to be honest with the rhyme,” though he admits that, “I don’t even read rhyme!”

Another challenge for him was writing for the child’s mind, not the adult mind.

“You’ve got to keep blowing on the embers,” he says.

In all, he has compiled 29 stories, done in “whimsical rhyme,” which go anywhere from about five lines to an epic 140 lines.

“It’s like 90 per cent done,” he says. “(But) there’s always stuff to fix up,” with the text all

but done, but drawings still being added.

In a way, he has come full circle from his days at CJOH television in Ottawa where he co-produced the children’s show Smart Alec, in the 1970s. After that venture ended, he moved to England, where he became friends with Dunning, who introduced him to the world of cartooning.

In those days, “I just did the business. You didn’t go to school.”

One of his first projects to work on was the old Jackson Five Saturday morning cartoon.

“That’s where I learned the basics of animation,” he said of his work on the music video component of each show, which ran from 1971 to 1973. He then worked with another Canadian animator, Dick Williams, an Oscar winner, who was the director of animation for the groundbreaking Disney cartoon Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (1988), who also did work on The Pink Panther films.

“He was probably the most famous animator outside of Walt Disney,” he says.

His studio was often referred to as The Monastery, with animators working on commercials by day, and learning from the great Disney masters of old by night.

He later teamed up with Ken Harris, even then an old hand who had worked on the Betty Boop cartoons in the 1930s, and later worked at MGM on the Road Runner cartoons. He served as his assistant in the 1970s, where he excelled at storyboarding.

For a time, he lived in Toronto and then New York, working on magazines as diverse as Heavy Metal, Raw, and National Lampoon.

He was most proud of being on the ground floor of a venture like Raw, since “the graphic novelists of today, that is where they came together,” first. While he was pleased with his time at Raw, “I didn’t like what I was doing for National Lampoon. I hope you

never see them,” he says of his comic strips.

However, his time in America was drawing to a close as the unions were starting to crack down on non-Americans working on shows. He went to Montreal to do storyboarding again and ended up directing the 1986 special Babar and Father Christmas. Around the same time, any Canadian child who grew up in the 1980s will remember the CBC cartoon series The Raccoons.

Capelle remembers that time too, but not as fondly as some.

“It came out okay,” he says.

“It was like a factory,” to work on he says of cartooning at the time, comparing “Saturday morning (as) that low-budget stuff.” He puts part of the blame on the line producer who had a “factory mentality. The talent there was outstanding, but nobody got to use it.”

Another move took him to Sydney, Australia where he

There were other benefits as well.

“It was a good discipline to my mind, it forced me to give order,” he says. Also, with a computer, “if I screw up, I can just get rid of that layer.”

Add a voice to prevent a Canadian problem

ditorial – It’s not just a Canadian problem, it happens around the world. But we can add a voice against the growing evidence that abuse of children continues to happen, sometimes virtually in front of our very own eyes.

Forms of abuse are not limited to rape or various forms of molestation.

Abuse includes non-accidental inflicting of physical injury; physical, medical, educational or emotional neglect; and substance abuse.

There’s also the issue of sexual abuse or exploitation that stem from engaging in online activities, including chat rooms, texting and other social-networks.

With the heightened sophistication of the cyber playground, never has society been so alerted to the potential risks of predatorial behaviour. Yet, abuse is all around is, whether sexual or in other forms.

Last year alone, the Ontario Association of Children’s Aid Societies received 165,673 referrals about possible abuse and neglect of children and youth. Many of these are related to socio-economic factors, as families struggle with poverty,

poor mental health, substance abuse and social isolation, but many instances have little or nothing to do with poverty, as community members take advantage of children who, as expected, are often illequipped or unable to defend themselves.

Community members need always to be vigilant of the signs of abuse, and to be a voice for the community, by listening to the signals provided by children and by reporting concerns to their local family and children’s service.

October, as Child Abuse Prevention Month, is as good a time as any to remind ourselves and others that children need to grow up in a safe family environment.

As vigilant defenders of our and others’ children, we can watch for signs of abuse, neglect or family crisis. These include unexplained injuries, fear of a specific adult, difficulty making friends, sudden changes in behaviour and inappropriate sexual behaviour .

After all, you don’t need to be sure that a child is being abused to call the Children’s Aid Society and express your concerns. For more about the signs of abuse, visit www.useyourvoice.ca, and help protect Ontario’s children.

The fine art of home management

L

ifestyle - There are some really nice things about heading out of town for a conference for a few days.

One, of course, is the learning opportunity it presents, but staying at a hotel where other people cook the food, remove the dirty dishes, make your bed and clean your bathroom ranks pretty darned high on the list.

Another little item, I have to admit, is the warm fuzzy feeling I get when (if) it becomes clear I am missed at home.

I try to organize things so life will go smoothly before I grab my suitcase and run screaming from the house. I make sure there is lots of clean laundry, enough cat food and cat pills, and I do the dishes so there is at least some semblance of order before I go.

Going away involves child-care coordination and the ever-important lists.

The “what to pack for lunch” list is still taped to the inside of the kitchen cupboard from the last time I went away, so that left creating the Master List. This list indicated the must-do items for each day, including where to find the kids. Since Groom-boy usually doesn’t get home from work until after 6, grandparents had been lined up for after-school and supper dates.

Next came the list of paperwork, including reminders about spelling dictation and homework, not to mention all the forms that were due: an RSVP, picture day background requests, and Terry Fox pledge sheets and money. I got everything filled in and lined up with instructions about what was to go back when. And THEN I grabbed my suitcase and ran screaming from the house.

Ahem.

I left Wednesday afternoon and checked in with the home front that night. All was well.

The next morning, however, I exchanged a

flurry of texts with a rather frazzled Groom-boy, who had to endure the wrath of I-Stayed-Up-Too-Late-Dawdling Girlchild and the drama of getting ready for picture day. The outfit she had picked STEPHANIE GRAY out before I left had somehow disappeared and her hair wouldn’t do what she wanted and her flower thingy was missing and etc.

That evening I spoke to everyone on the phone.

Girlchild went on at length about the morning wardrobe crisis AND that Dad wasn’t packing the right stuff in the lunches AND that he put her agenda in the wrong pocket in her knapsack, which means none of the forms got handed in and rant rant rant etc. Boychild had a story about his horrible, terrible, no good, very bad day which, thankfully, had nothing to do with Dad packing his knapsack or any such thing.

What’s funny is that I’m usually the bad guy in everything. I thought Dad was doing a fine job.

“Fun, eh?” I said to Groom-boy. In the background I could hear Girlchild badgering him to help her find some missing item. They began to argue about whether it was on the kitchen table or in her room. I said I had to go. “There’s a fire alarm,” I said, and probably there was one somewhere in the city.

Friday morning went much more smoothly, likely because the forms were already overdue and there were no new deadlines or photos or races or Other Important Things of Consequence going on that day.

I even made it home before the kids did and got huge hugs upon my return – always nice.

I still remember the first time I went to one of these conferences and left Groom-boy in charge for even longer than this time. On my last evening away he said, rather forlornly, “You’re coming home tomorrow, right?”

It’s nice to be missed.

OP concerns shoreline property owner To the Editor, I am concerned about the proposed land use planning decisions outlined in the Tay Valley Township’s 2013/14 Official Plan. Particularly concerning to me are the proposed controls on shoreline use. I have consulted with members of other lake associations and not one of them was aware of the proposed shoreline (preservation) Bylaw. I also spoke with the majority of the neighbours along my road, they too were not aware of the proposed changes. All where opposed to proposed shoreline Bylaw, some were shocked by the sweeping controls being contemplated.

I attended the Official Plan Open House sessions Aug. 13 and was very disappointed by the poor turnout (less than 30 people). Sadly the efforts made by the town-

ship to involve the public in the planning process have so far failed. An important step in the consultation process is February 2014, this could not be worse timing for cottage owners participation.

In my opinion the only effective way to communicate with seasonal cottage owners is to mail out in an envelope stamped IMPORTANT INFORMATION CONCERNING YOUR SHORELINE PROPERTY. Contained should be the clear explanation of what is proposed.

Without the involvement of a majority of waterfront property owners, the process will be invalid.

I see no reason for the process of consultation to be rushed as there is much at stake for waterfront property owners.

Breathing should never be issue

To the Editor, Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis is a devastating deteriorating disease of the lungs. Scar tissue develops preventing lungs from providing necessary oxygen to support body functions and life.

On Sept.15 we held a chili dinner, entertainment generously provided by Steve and Lloyd Clyne, Mark and Grant for which I am very grateful. We completed the afternoon with a silent auction and 50/50 draw.

We are overwhelmed by the community support we received and would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the many businesses that graciously provided auction items and food for the

dinner and the many people who attended and all for their generosity, family and friends for helping in many ways.

I.P.F. is a condition that is in need of awareness and a great deal of research funding. There is no known cause or cure. There are approximately 30,000 people suffering from P.F. in Canada.

This year was our second fund raising event and with God willing I will continue each year in September, which is now officially Pulmonary Fibrosis Month, to help raise the much needed funds.

My goal is to some day soon see victims of this devastating disease have HOPE. Barb Rancier Perth

Resident appreciates council voice To the Editor, Recently I went to a council meeting in Lanark to support our local snowmobile club. An application had been made, apparently to close the road allowance in our area… which could affect our trail system. I was very disappointed about our elected council, the way they approached the business part of the meeting, especially the chair, our elected mayor, who didn’t pay any respect, to a member of council, while he was speaking about this subject.

Kudos to our elected council, member, deputy mayor

for doing an excellent job, especially when he occasionally was being interrupted while carrying out his duty.

We all should be thankful to have a strong voice on council.

My point of the story is “Attention Lanark Highlands Township Tax Payers” before next election, take a seat in council chambers and attend a meeting (which is open to the public) so you can do your homework before you put an “X” in the appropriate box.

Checking in on the Davidson Family Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; When news splashed across the media outlets about the Davidson family house fire this past summer in Elphin, support rang through the community. Friends and family helped to ensure Mark, Rita and their sons had accommodations, food and the daily necessities to keep going. A Facebook page and a trust fund were both created to provide constant updates and an avenue for financial support.

The Davidson family has truly witnessed what a caring community can do to help those in need.

Local children were offering up their toys while strangers contributed to the trust fund. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve since been granted a cabin out at Purdon Cottages, giving them a roof over their heads until another option comes their way.

Although this support will always hold a special spot in the Davidson family story, their needs havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t weaned. By this, I mean they are still in need of some everyday essentials among other items.

The Davidson family could use a chainsaw, large Rubbermaid containers and a two-burner stove, while everyday needs include paper plates, cups and gluten-free breads as well as meats.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to contribute to the Davidson family, you can visit the Facebook page â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our Community Caresâ&#x20AC;? or contact the family directly at 613-278-2618. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a phone set up, but they can still check messages.

Ruby update Readers encouraged to make a date with LoLA News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The fate of Ruby the tabby cat who had surgery to remove an injured eye last week, has turned for the better.

Her owners, Roger and Gwen Loyer of Tennyson Road, Perth, say she underwent surgery last week at the North Lanark Veterinary Services to remove her right eye as it had been injured as a result of a gunshot, Roger Loyer said.

Ruby had returned home on Wednesday, Sept. 18, at 4:30 p.m. after being gone from home since Saturday, Sept. 14, with what Loyer said were about 15 or 16 pellets in her head and neck. The pet catâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eye so badly damaged that it had to be surgically removed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing really well,â&#x20AC;? Roger reports. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we take her outside, we have to watch her pretty carefully though, so she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt herself.

But sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming around.â&#x20AC;?

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; There is a new opportunity opening up locally for people who love reading and who would like to rediscover the challenge and thrill of higher learning.

Beginning in October, the Love of Literature Academy (LoLA) is initiating a series of university-styled courses in Perth (location to be announced) beginning with â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Art of Reading.â&#x20AC;?

There are many people going back to school nowadays for personal development reasons â&#x20AC;&#x201C; particularly in cities with universities and colleges â&#x20AC;&#x201C; many of them baby boomers who are retiring, or whose children have moved on, leaving them with more time for

themselves.

For people in the Perth area, however, the distance to the nearest universities can be major barrier, and while correspondence and Internet-based courses are becoming more common, they cannot replace the experience of learning in the company of other likeminded people.

LoLA has been developed by Peter Dixon â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a booklover himself with degrees in English literature and education â&#x20AC;&#x201C; through the inspiration that came from speaking with people who had been participating in book clubs but felt they would like more than a book club could offer.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Art of Readingâ&#x20AC;? is for people who love reading, and would like to expand and enhance their appreciation of literary art.

It is based on the premise that creative writing can be thought of as the art of asking questions (about words, sentences, setting, point of view, dialogue, etc.), and making choices that satisfy the desires of a writerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s imagination. In this course participants will study selections from short stories and novels, as well as thoughts on writing by various authors, and the writing process itself, to better understand some of the ways authors ask questions of their work, and what and why certain choices were made; in

effect, learning how to read as writers.

Each class will be composed of a short lecture, class discussion, and an assignment.

There will be two class times offered (subject to minimum enrollment levels) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Tuesday mornings and evenings â&#x20AC;&#x201C; running for eight weeks (16 hours).

Prospective students can choose either a 10 a.m. to noon or 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. class.

For more information on LoLA, or to register for the Fall (course begins on Oct. 15), please contact Peter Dixon at 613-706-2290 or info@thewritestuff.ca, and visit www.thewritestuff.ca/lola.

Do you dare to take a haunted walk through Perth?

Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Have you ever met a ghost on the streets of Perth?

Friday, Oct. 25, you just might meet one or two during the annual Ghost Walk of Perth. Tortured souls who clamour to have their stories told include a murderer

who swung from the courthouse gallows, a ferryman who demanded deadly tolls, and a cursed woman who forever roams the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s halls. \Susan Code, local historian and author, will lead the approximately 90-minute walk. People

are asked to meetâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in costume, if they wishâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;by 7 p.m. outside the Perth Museum, 11 Gore St. E., the starting and stopping point for the ghost walk. Treats will be served there afterwards and the Museum will be open for viewing.

Tickets are $10 per adult, $5 per child (maximum $25 per family), and can be reserved by calling 613-267-2595 or through the Perth Museum at 613-2671947. Proceeds from the evening will go towards support of the Perth Museum.

Jasper, Ontario man offers parking advice for classic car owners Lifestyle – An email arrived recently from John Evans, C.E.T., in Jasper, Ontario, raising the perennial question of where do you park your classic car if you drive it to the mall?

First, John’s letter: “I don’t have an antique car yet but hope to have something soon to restore. I do have a 2007 Dodge Charger that I have babied since the spring of ’08. Nice after-market rims from the States…silver steel metallic paint job…tinted out… classy look…keep it in my heated garage every winter. It’s only seen snow on the ‘lot’…no salt! Maybe it will become a project car some day. Anyway, I take extremely good care of it. I drive it gently and wash it up like it’s a baby.

“Now down to the story part. Whenever I drive to town (I’m a country boy), I always park at the back of the lot when shopping…or find parallel parking on the street to avoid those terrible door dings. Body on mine still perfect…no marks. I park way, way from everyone else and walk to the stores.

Often, if the lot is approaching capacity, I will look for another nice car to park beside, as I’m sure they will be careful.

the local mall in his OTHER 1940 Mercury convertible.

“You have two of them?”

I asked. “Yes,” he said. “The one you saw was restored from four other cars, and the one I drove to the mall is a factory fresh original.”

Where he parked I don’t know, but I suspect he picked a spot as safe as possible.

I’m always looking for more stories.

Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255,

Leamington, ON N8H 3W2.

Everyone whose story is published in this column will receive a free autographed copy of my latest book: “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURITE STORIES, 1925 to 1965.”

“So, parking recently at the Independent Grocer in Smiths Falls, I found a nice red glossy Mustang convertible to park beside.

He or she parked a little ‘squiffy’ to avoid door dings so I snuggled up to protect both our cars.

After shopping, I came out to find a hand-written note beneath my wiper blade, telling me that I’m a ******* for not parking between the lines, etc., etc.

I think those of us who park like this do it so others can admire our ‘ride.’ I’ll bet the owner of that Mustang got the same note.”

It’s always a challenge to find a place to park when we drive a classic car. John’s letter reminded me of a phone call I made recently to a fellow recently in Florida to get the story of his 1940 Mercury convertible, which I had seen at a car show in Pennsylvania. No answer.

Submitted photo I phoned again two hours later and he answered. He just 1953 Chrysler sedan parked close to diagonal ‘NO PARKING’ lines on driver’s side, giving extra room on passenger got back from driving down to side.

Follow this advice on how to help those who are grieving Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; We live in a society that is grief phobic. We do not like to be faced with death; we would prefer to avoid it. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand the complexities of grief and, as a result, most of us do not develop skills to help us grieve the loss of our loved ones, or the skills to help others who are bereaved.

When someone we know loses a loved one, we often donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to do or say, how to offer comfort, or how to best support them. Our intentions are good but we are awkward. In our awkwardness, we often do and say things that are not helpful to those who grieve, and sometimes they are hurtful. To provide some tips about how to support those who are grieving, we asked participants in the Bereavement Support Group what others did and said that had either helped them move through their grief, or been hurtful. Below are their list of Doâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ts.

Doâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1. Say â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am very sorry for your loss of your husband, mother, daughter, etcâ&#x20AC;?. Just to say I am sorry seems like a platitude unless you acknowledge the specific loss.

2. Be sincere. For instance, if you ask, â&#x20AC;&#x153;How are you?â&#x20AC;? be prepared to hear the answer and to let the bereaved know you are not just wanting them to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fineâ&#x20AC;?. Let the person know you truly want to know how it is for them right now.

3. Acknowledge the loss.

Pay your respects, send a card, and go to the funeral.

Let the bereaved person know you understand that their life is very different now, that losing a loved one is a big adjustment, and that the person has not only lost the deceased but also the hopes and dreams that they shared.

4. Keep in touch. Say hello to the bereaved person when you see them out on the street or in the grocery store.

They do not have the plague!

If you are uncomfortable asking them how they are, just say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to see youâ&#x20AC;?.

5. Phone. Group participants said they appreciated being asked â&#x20AC;&#x153;Would you like me to call you in a couple of weeks?â&#x20AC;? They appreciated people who said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m only a phone call awayâ&#x20AC;? but only if the offer was sincere. They also appreciated short phone calls to see how they were doing or just to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want you to know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thinking of youâ&#x20AC;?.

6. Let the bereaved person know it is OK to talk about their loss whenever they want.

7. Offer a hug if it looks like a bad day.

8. Use touch â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a hand on an arm or a shoulder can be very comforting.

9. Continue to invite the

bereaved to social events.

They will decline if they are uncomfortable.

10. Talk about the deceased. Mention his/her name and share memories. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not upsetting, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comforting.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ts 1. Abandon the bereaved person. Bereaved people are acutely sensitive to those who dodge into the next aisle in the grocery store or cross the road rather than say hello, and to being excluded from social gatherings to which they would normally have been invited.

2. Make assumptions about what the bereaved need. Ask them.

3. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know how you feelâ&#x20AC;?. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, you just know how you felt when you had a loss.

4. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What happened?â&#x20AC;? unless you know the bereaved person well. Some grievers like to repeat the story many times, others would like to choose whether and to whom they disclose details.

5. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make comments that minimize or trivialize the loss. Examples from our group members include: â&#x20AC;&#x153;He/ she is in a better placeâ&#x20AC;?, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a blessing they are no longer sufferingâ&#x20AC;?, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life goes onâ&#x20AC;?, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;You need to be strong for othersâ&#x20AC;?. The implication is that the bereaved person does not have the right to be grief stricken.

6. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask about future life plans such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you have a new friend yet?â&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are you going to sell your house now?â&#x20AC;?

7. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make comments about how the bereaved should be feeling, or how they should be progressing through their grief. Examples are: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pull your socks up, get onâ&#x20AC;?, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re over it now, arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you?â&#x20AC;?, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first year is tough (implying it must be easy after that)â&#x20AC;?, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Get over itâ&#x20AC;?, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are wallowing in it, stop feeling sorry for yourselfâ&#x20AC;?, or even â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are moving too fastâ&#x20AC;?.

8. If the bereaved is a family member with whom you have been in conflict in the past, leave the conflict behind and show support.

9. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say â&#x20AC;&#x153;Have a nice dayâ&#x20AC;?!

10. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go to the griever with your problems. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the emotional energy.

11. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am there for youâ&#x20AC;? and then be busy every time the bereaved person reaches out.

There are many more examples of what to do and not do when someone you know has lost a loved one. What the examples above show is that it is not difficult to show support for a bereaved person. You can do it in small ways by sending a card; by phoning to say you are thinking of them; by acknowledging that they have had a loss and that it is hard for them; by

mentioning their loved one in conversation; by offering a hug; and by allowing them to cry. You will do more than this for people you know well, but even one of these

small acts is helpful.

We offer our thanks to the members of the Adult Bereavement Support Groups, for the wonderful support they give each other,

and for being willing to share their wisdom about what helps and what hurts when a person is grieving.

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

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

WAGAR, Trent â&#x20AC;&#x201C; In loving memory of a dear father, grandfather, uncle and brother, August 22, 1950 October 1, 2012.

One year ago you left us, In tears we saw you sinking And watched you pass away, Our hearts were almost broken, We wanted you to stay.

But when we saw you sleeping, So peaceful free from pain, How could we wish you back with us, To suffer that again?

It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go alone, For part of us went with you The day you went away.

Always in our hearts Love your family.

WAGAR, Trent â&#x20AC;&#x201C; August 22, 1950 - October 1, 2012.

Though youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re no longer with me Everyday I find In one way or another, Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re back there in my mind.

I might hear a piece of music, And at once my mind is stirred, Back to a treasured moment, The two of us have shared.

I never try to stop them I let them just flow through, Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just my way of spending time Once again with you.

Love Joan

How to prevent swindlers, scammers and shysters from preying on seniors

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

With nothing but time on their hands, these “losers” often have nothing better to do than “go through your garbage cans… at 3 a.m.” Often, the personal information they find in their, “could really mess you up, with that information.”

“Tuesday night, I will go to Tim’s, at 1 a.m., I will get my loser coffee, and I’ll just drive,” said Blair, of the criminal’s mode of thinking. Once they have found a suitable looking bag or two of trash, or recycling, “I go back to my loser apartment, I have my rubber gloves on and I start going through that garbage.”

He advised shredding any paperwork that has one’s name, address, or any personal information on it.

Times have changed not only in how swindlers operate, from letters to, now, the Internet, and policing has tried to keep up, not only with enforcement, but prevention too.

“In the past, financial exploitation was considered a civil matter,” said Blair. Now, they are taking a tougher line against exploiters. But they need the help, and information, from civilians, to help catch the crooks.

“If we don’t know, we can’t get a handle on them,” said Blair. But, realistically, there is little that can be done.

“The chances of us getting any of your money is really, really slim… Once the money is gone, it is gone.”

While Blair advised using credit cards whenever possible for online purchases, because of the paper trail is creates, bettering the chances

of retrieving any money, one audience member shared that she didn’t notice that her credit card number had been appropriated until months after the fact. Out of the blue, she received her credit card bill which showed bills for $2,000 worth of diamonds, two taxi rides, and a visit to a Montreal strip club.

By far and away though, one of the largest hubs for scams, in Blair’s eyes, is the African nation of Nigeria.

“Nothing against the good people there, but if you see that name (Nigeria) shred it,” said Blair. “They are the worst country in the world for that (scams). They are busy little beavers. Anything with Nigeria on it, very, very cautious of it.”

Another scam, which has been tried against residents at Lanark Lodge itself, are made under the guise of “churches” looking for residents to sponsor refugees. Blair advised people to check with the churches and charities themselves and, if they have not heard of them before, check that they actually exist.

One trick used by these crooks on trusting seniors is posing as a bank employee, asking you to email them with your personal banking information for re-verification, because there has been a breach in your account.

“They (banks) don’t work like that,” said Blair, using emails in that way and, besides, as banks, would they not have that information on file anyway?

Criminals like to play on people’s emotions and to create a sense of urgency.

News – A lawyer calls from Quebec to say that your grandson has been in a car crash.

He’s OK, but he may have been drunk behind the wheel and, “in order for him to get out, we need $5,000 to get him out of jail.”

And, no, he can’t come to the phone, and no, he doesn’t want to call his parents because he’s too embarrassed and trusts you.

This scam has actually worked with some people, who have sent the money – but not one elderly person in Smiths Falls, who did not fall for it. Rather than send the money, they checked in and found out that their grandson was actually safe and at home. But the scammer on the other end of the phone had the grandson’s name, address, and even place of work.

In the age of Facebook, with birthday updates, and personal details out there for anyone to see, it’s not too hard, according to OPP Const. Dave Blair, a community services officer who led a seminar on fraud prevention for seniors at Lanark Lodge

on Thursday, Sept. 12, which was sponsored by the Tay Valley police services board.

“All of the ways we are jerked out of, fooled out of (our) whole life savings in just that one phone call.”

“If you think it is just Calgary and Detroit and big cities, it is not,” said Blair. “We have a number of cases right here in Lanark County where people have given out thousands of dollars over a phone call… It is right here.”

Blair pointed out that the old PhoneBusters unit is no more, and has been replaced by the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, based in North Bay, Ont. Their number is 1-888-495-8501.

“Here is Canada, we are pretty trusting,” said Blair, who said he wants to “reduce the number of seniors who are affected by consumer fraud and fall victim to financial violence. The impact is just huge.”

“Criminals, they are in their dingy little flea-ridden apartment, just making calls,” said Blair. “I just need to fool one (person) today, even if I have to call 1,000 people. (And) seniors tend to be the population that gets targeted.”

Perth Kidney Walk puts issue of organ donation into walker’s stride

Community - Above, participants of the Kidney Walk pose in front of the Crystal Palace on Sunday, Sept.

29, fists raised in defiance in the fight to increase awareness of organ donations. Above right, Caleb Robson is this year’s ambassador as he was given a kidney by his sister Jodi Neddo (right). The siblings say they are even closer now after the transplant in June this year. Neddo said she was never more thrilled in her life as she was when she found out she was a match for her brother.

Events - When we think of Cuba, we often think of Havana, Revolution, Che and Fidel, but we don’t often think of gardens and gardening.

Yet the lush tropical climate of Cuba is the perfect incubator for luxuriant foliage and glorious flowers.

The Perth & District Horticultural Society invites you to “Exploring the Gardens of Cuba” with Mary Ann Van Berlo on Tuesday, Oct. 8 at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium of the Perth and District Collegiate Institute on Victoria Street, Perth.

Van Berlo has been active in the Ontario Horticultural Association (OHA) for 18 years – as a member of the Gloucester Horticultural Society and the Ottawa Horticultural Society and is a past assistant director for OHA District 2.

She is an avid gardener (she said it was okay to describe her as “obsessed”). Her large and beautiful rural gardens are in their infancy as she just moved to a new home last fall. She very much enjoys the challenge of trying new plants, often growing them from seed. Zone limits are only suggestions for her.

For the past 8 years Van Berlo has volunteered with the Master Gardeners of Ottawa-Carleton. As a Master Gardener she lectures, writes gardening articles and participates in advice clinics.

Van Berlo will share the spectacular flora and vistas of Cuba which she discovered on a two-week garden tour in February 2012. The tour covered the north and west part of the island and included many stops of horticultural interest – botanical gardens, private back yard gardens, tobacco farms, even a stop to see rice fields up close. Of particular interest was the “organiponicos” – small to large garden cooperatives that follow organic practices and provide fresh produce for their members and the community. Join us for a tropical gardening break and forget about our October weather for a while.

Everyone is welcome. Non-members are asked to pay $3 at the door.

Sports season under way at St. John Community - Yet another exciting school year is underway here at St. John! A new group of Grade 9â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (including me) entered the high school wing this year, and student council helped welcome them with an after-school games session, pizza dinner and dance. Already, extra-curricular activities are starting, and clubs are being formed.

Student councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grade 9 representatives have been elected, and the justice action committee has had several meetings.

On Sept. 27, two great events took place at our school. The first event was the Terry Fox Run, which is a fun and social way for students to raise money for important cancer research. The second event was the home opener senior football game against PDCI. The junior and senior boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; football, junior and senior girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; basketball, junior and

senior boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; volleyball, golf, and cross country running teams have also begun their seasons.

The start to the fresh St. John school year has certainly been explosive, and we can only imagine what cornucopia of gifts the rest of the year will bring. It has been a great introduction back into the school after a long and well-spent summer for everyone.

Lanark County football action sees Spartans open at home with double wins

By STAFF

Sports – The St. John Catholic High School football teams had some big wins in Lanark County action last week at home.

The senior Spartans posted an impressive 34-6 victory over cross-town rival Perth and District Collegiate Institute on Friday afternoon.

Connor Sergeant proved that you don’t have to be the biggest player on the field to have a huge impact on the game. Sergeant scored four touchdowns with impressive runs and catches to lead the Spartan offence.

Brandon McIntosh converted four point-after attempts and Mike Brown added another TD for the Spartans. The defence, for the second week in a row, limited their opponents’ offence and gave up only one score.

The Seniors play Friday, Oct. 4 at 1 p.m. against the Carleton Place High School Bears.

In the second game of the double-header, the juniors defeated CPHS 15-13 in another exciting game between these two teams.

The juniors got an early 7-0 lead off a Noah Noonan fumble recovery run for a touchdown.

But, the Bears closed the gap near the end of the half with a 100-yard touchdown run to make the game 7-6.

In the second half, Tyler Murphy’s TD run padded the Spartan lead to 14-6 and then an important rouge made the lead 15-6 for the Spartans.

The Bears scored another major with less than two minutes left in the game to make the game 15-13. This was as close as the Bears would get

on this day.

The juniors travel to Smiths Falls Oct. 4 for a 3:30 p.m. tilt against the RedHawks.

PDCI opener At PDCI recently, the Carleton Place seniors were in town in the season home opener. The back campus was electrified thanks to the student body and Link Crew who all came together providing a great positive spirit throughout the game.

The first half was a neck and neck battle as Perth went into the half, up 14-7.

PDCI players came out in the second half with an improved energy and determination and put the game away with a final score of 34-13.

Kaleb Bingley won player of the game by scoring three rushing touchdowns. Mitchell Crain scored a two-yard touchdown off a pass from Liam MacDonald, and Donny Nowakowski earned himself his first senior touchdown via the run. Nowakowski also put up four more points with his kicking game. Honourable mentions to all the offence for creating excellent blocks to allow for a strong running day.

The defence had a very good first game with the defensive unit coming together and everyone making contributions in providing us with an opportunity to win the game. There was also an excellent effort made by Tyler Hawkins with his three punt returns that made great yard gains giving the offence great field position each time.

For PDCI, they will be hosting Almonte and Renfrew on Friday at 1 and 3 p.m. respectively.

egant, carved stone pieces and Paulus Tjiang’s colourful, blown-glass work may make you look at stones and sand - such characteristic components of Lanark’s rough beauty with fresh eyes.

If woodwork strikes your fancy it may be of interest to drop in to see the work of five artists/designers on the tour who use wood in totally different ways. The masterful canoe building by Brent Kirkham, funky furniture by Flook D. Doo, turned objects and furniture made by Dunn Sohn, as well as the striking garden ornaments and fences from cedar rails by Scott Dobson and the timeless, meticulously crafted contemporary furniture created by Heidi Earnshaw all bring attention to the intrinsic beauty of wood.

For those visitors looking for wearable art, you might want to cozy up to Heather Sherratt’s handwoven garments, pin to it a gorgeous brooch by Stephen Clark and pick up a funky handmade bag from Anais Fritzlan to carry some of your purchases!

People can also enjoy the opportunity to explore public art situated in the landscape at FIELDWORK located across the road from Studio 2. Art installations by numerous Canadian artists are located in the field and in the forest beyond.

Community – It is hard to believe, but yet another year has passed and the Perth Autumn Studio Tour is celebrating its 21st anniversary this Thanksgiving weekend October 12 to 14. In preparation, many local (and guest) artists have spent the last few months hunkered down with their tools, skills and inspiration, creating some of the fabulous new work that you will see on this year’s tour.

Visiting the studios has become a highly anticipated Thanksgiving tradition for many art and craft enthusiasts from near and far. Recognized for its diverse, high-calibre selection of work and the gorgeous setting of Brooke Valley where the tour is centered, the Perth Autumn Studio Tour is a wonderful way to spend a day over the long weekend admiring and collecting some of the best local ‘culture’ available.

The Tour provides a terrific opportunity to see and purchase unique, beautiful objects from their makers, to see the artists’ working spaces and ask questions about their creative process and to wander around some of the most charming, beautiful gardens and grounds in the area – all set against the backdrop of peak autumn colours.

The tour this year offers much to enthrall, to entice and to learn about.

It is always interesting to discover the different ways artists manipulate the materials they use - developing through their practice a ‘vision’ or style that is distinctly theirs. Having the opportunity to ask artists about their creative process can bring a story to the objects you encounter and potentially purchase. With seven studios to visit and 22 artists to talk with, there is much to discover about the lives and work of the makers.

A gamut of gorgeous tableware and imaginative sculptural objects by potters Rita Redner, Anne Chambers, Gangnier-Ross and Susie Osler will be found in four of the studios.

Diverse, rich palettes and the employment of a variety of hand-building and wheel-throwing techniques make each artist’s work very much their own. Specific bowls made the ptters will be available at Studios 2, 3, 4, and 5 as part of the Empty Bowls fundraising campaign which was started here in Lanark County 13 years ago by former tour member/potter Jackie Seaton. The campaign raises thousands of dollars each year for local organizations working towards greater food security in the area.

Local landscapes, portraits and abstract ‘expressions’ feature in work by many artists this year. It is interesting to see the different ways the surrounding environment inspires an artist’s work. Look for the wonderful work of printmaker Franc van Oort, painters Catherine Orfald, Wayne Williams, Gary Barr, Karen Phillips Curran and Suzette MacSkimming, batik artist Sarah Hale and acrylic window artist Lynette Chubb to illustrate the wide range of styles, technique and materials used in 2D forms.

Speaking of the influence of landscape… John Schweighardt’s el-
