County has plan in place for fentanyl ‘mass overdose’

BY DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Lanark County is preparing itself for “a mass overdose situation,” of fentanyl, if need be.

Lanark County Situation Table chair Stephanie Gray told a policing meeting last week that the county has worked out a plan to deal with such a situation, should it ever present itself.

“There is a plan in place for that,” Gray told the Perth police services board (PSB) meeting in the Sunshine Room at town hall on Thursday, Sept.

28. Further to this, her group receives regular updates on the fentanyl situation from the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville District Health Unit. “There is progress being made,” Gray said.

Gray was responding to a question from PSB chair Coun. Jim Graff about the rise of “bush parties,” where young people gather in the wilderness, with some consuming illegal drugs.

Gray’s situation table has placed the fentanyl crisis as an “acutely elevated risk,” in the area, and is so far the only area of concern listed in its “environmental” column (other areas include individuals, families, and neighbourhoods.) By bringing the crisis to the table, so to speak, “it really got the agencies talking about it,” said Gray.

There are more naloxone kits available now than a year ago, which can be given like an EpiPen, or nasally, in arresting a fentanyl overdose.

“OPP have not gotten them, but they are in line for them,” said Gray.

Some of the PSB members were perplexed about how people got involved in such a deadly drug to start with.

“Why would someone ever get involved with something like that?” wondered John Clement.

Fellow board member Randy Jarbeau surmised that drug dealers could lace the drug in other drugs to really get their customers hooked, but Gray said that while that may be the case in some instances, fentanyl addiction was more likely caused by legitimate chronic pain management medications that can lead to addictions.

Gray also pointed out that there are now courses for overdose survivors, dealing with everything from stress management to coping skills.

She also stressed that if she was ingesting illegal drugs alongside someone else, and that person then started having an overdose, “I’m not going to get charged for being near (them),” by phoning in the overdose to 911.

Graff said that a presentation he had seen at a regional PSB meeting See FENTANYL page P2

Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre gear up for fall production of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night For the past eight years, the Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre has done an annual production of a Shakespearean play with teenage actors, modelled on the productions at the Stratford Festival (in the round, with minimal set, but with professional quality costumes, lighting, sound, and stagecraft) at the end of October: past productions have included Macbeth, Much Ado About Nothing, Hamlet, Othello, Midsummer Night's Dream, Romeo and Juliet and, most recently, King Lear.

And for the past eight years, I've been their director.

This October, we're doing Twelfth Night, the rapid fire romantic comedy about the misadventures of twins Viola and Sebastian, who are separated in a shipwreck. Viola disguises herself as a boy named Cesario, goes to work for Duke Orsino and promptly falls in love with him. Orsino, who in turn is in love with the Countess Olivia, sends Cesario to Olivia's house, to convince Olivia to marry him. Upon meeting Viola, however, Countess Olivia falls in love with Cesario, thinking she is a man. And all of this is mocked by the servants, especially Feste, the wise Fool, the smartest character on stage.

For me, it's an honour to be doing it again — leading yet another group of gifted teenagers working in rehearsal for four solid months to present Shakespeare — one of the greatest challenges in the theatre for adults, let alone for young actors.

So why do we do it? It's a good question and it doesn't have a simple answer. After all, doing Shakespeare is a lot of work: for the director, for the cast and for the crew.

First off, there's the intimidation factor; who the heck are we out here in Carleton Place, to even attempt something that the greatest actors in the world approach with caution? The temptation, in the face of all that history, is to blow it off and treat it as a lark — and this company of talented young people has to resist that temptation and maintain their original respect for the material and for the greatest playwright in history.

Then there's the difficulty in performance — doing Shakespeare is intense, with no breaks for a light-hearted song and dance number. As a performer, as a tech crew, you are working hard, all the time. You have to maintain the world of the play throughout every second of the performance, which can be exhausting.

Finally, there's the challenge of drawing an audience into the theatre.

Because for most people, Shakespeare is an occasional thing, and its reputation is that it's only for the hoity-toity crowd. Shakespeare is thought to be serious and challenging for an audience, not fun and to put an audience in the seats, the publicity people have to work hard just to get over that (untrue) prejudice.

So, as I said, I'm the director for the eighth consecutive year. Why do I do this? More to the point, how do we do

The Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre are preparing for their fall production of the Shakespeare classic, Twelfth Night. Back row, from left: Kevin Macmillan as Sebastian, Colleen Macmillan as Curio, Natalya Lunan George as Maria, Colm Cooney as Sir Toby Belch, Doug Campbell as Malvolio, Josh Gaines as Duke Orsino, Emily Hogan as Viola/Cesario, Ainsley Mohns as Valentine, Brady Mackay as The Priest. Front row, from left: Nadia Taylor-Meyer as Olivia, Claire Campbell as Fabian, Aidan Taylor-Meyer as Sir Andrew Aguecheek, Kaitlyn Rossignol as Antonio and seated front, Julia Martin as Feste. The production opens Friday, Oct. 20. this? How do we keep the fire going, year after year and keep the excitement and the quality up?

First, it's about the tradition. When we walk into the theatre, we are picking

up a baton that has been passed down through the history of performance — in addition to Shakespeare himself, all the participants in all the productions in all the theatres in all the world that

have come before us. You can feel the ghosts in the theatre, watching you as you approach the stage.

Second, there's the excitement of the challenge. Both for the young actors and for the backstage crew who support them, it's in performing that the actors learn the answer to the questions that intrigue them the most: "What is it that makes a good actor, how do I learn it?" For the crew it's: "How do we set the mood, and carry it off ?" And for me as a director, the challenge is to honour Shakespeare's text and to achieve my objectives by making the actors' choices and the crew's support, fit into a production that engages and entertains the audience. Every rehearsal I have to remember the ultimate goal that I am pursuing.

Third, the unexpected. As a director of teenagers doing Shakespeare I have been spoiled over and over, by serendipity — being surprised by something new all the time and never being bored.

Fourth, the audience: When we're lucky, the audience, aware of the challenges we face, shows its appreciation

Presence of West Nile virus found locally in mosquitoes The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit has been actively monitoring mosquitoes for West Nile virus this season.

Recent sampling has identified positive mosquitoes that carry the West Nile virus.

Earlier this season, neighbouring health units including Ottawa, eastern Ontario (Cornwall) and KFLA (Kingston) Public Health have identified positive mosquitoes.

This virus is spread to humans by the bite of an infected mosquito. For most people, the risk of illness from West Nile virus is low.

However, it can cause serious illness in others.

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

The following measures can help reduce the risk of West Nile virus: Apply insect repellents sparingly to exposed skin. Effective repellents contain Deet or Icaridin. Be sure to follow directions and use age appropriate concentrations.

DO NOT USE personal insect repellents on children under two years of age.

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

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

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

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

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

More information regarding this disease and its symptoms can be found on our website http:// www.healthunit.org/westnile/.

You can also call 1-800-660-5853 or connect with LGLHealthunit on Facebook and Twitter.

SMITHS FALLS KIA

Author recounts true story of indigenous human zoo at Oct. 16 CFUW meeting in Perth The true story of how eight Inuit from Labrador were enticed to travel to Europe in 1880 to become part of a “cultural exhibit”, or human zoo, is nothing short of remarkable.

Researcher France Rivet has brought this tragic tale to life in her book entitled In The Footsteps of Abraham Ulrikab, based on the diary of one of the Inuit men and extensive other sources.

Europe’s fascination with global exploration in the 19th century was fuelled by travelling zoos established by men like Carl Hagenbeck, a German merchant who captured animals in nearly every continent for exhibition. To highlight the relationships between these exotic animals and human societies, scouts were sent around the world looking for examples of rare cultures.

It is estimated that some 35,000 Africans, Asians, Inuit, and other indigenous peoples were deceived into accepting a free trip to Europe, where they were put on display in travelling exhibitions so that spectators could view them in their “natural setting”.

Abraham Ulrikab was a well-educated Inuk from Hebron, Labrador, who was curious to see the world. He brought his and another family, eight in all, to Europe for what they thought would be a financially-rewarding, one-year adventure.

Submitted photo

Author France Rivet will speak about her book In The Footsteps of Abraham Ulrikab, during the Monday, Oct. 16 meeting of the Perth & District chapter of the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) at the Perth Royal Canadian Legion.

Unfortunately, they did not receive the vaccinations for smallpox that were legally required for new arrivals, and the entire group succumbed to the disease — the first three in Germany and the other five during a stop in Paris. Abraham’s diary of their brief time in Europe was sent home to Labrador shortly after his death.

Years later, France Rivet encountered this forgotten diary and was moved to learn more about the fate of the eight Inuit. She was amazed to discover that the skeletons of Abraham and four other Inuit were in storage in a Paris museum, more than 125 years after their deaths.

In conjunction with Inuit leaders in Labrador, she is trying to repatriate the skeletons, finally bringing them home to rest.

Come and hear Rivet recount this tale on Monday, Oct. 16 at the Perth Royal Canadian Legion (26 Beckwith St. E., Perth, Ont., K7H 1B5), starting promptly at 7 p.m.

The talk by Rivet is free, presented by the Perth & District chapter of the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW). Copies of Rivet’s book (printed in both English and French) will be on sale for $30.

Sweet sounds of seventh annual Merrickville’s Jazz Fest kicks off Oct. 12 The seventh annual edition of Merrickville’s Jazz Fest (MJF) kicks off this year with a Grand Opening celebration on Thursday, Oct. 12 at 7 p.m. in the Baldachin Ballroom in recognition of MJF sponsors and supporters and runs until our closing concert Sunday, Oct. 15 at 7 p.m.

Featuring 15 stellar groups; a blend of local and out of town artists will treat your ears to lots of amazing jazz with veterans of the jazz scene as well as many up and coming newcomers that, years from now, you will be able to say that you saw live when they were early in their careers. Several groups have new CD releases or special projects to present to MJF audiences.

Sam Kirmayer Quartet is the Saturday night closing concert and Sam is a highly talented young and engaging guitarist based in Montreal who has been described by Katie Malloch as having “a fearlessness and momentum that promises much, much more to come.”

His style and his clear, direct tone are reminiscent of the guitar greats such as Wes Montgomery. In contrast, on Sunday afternoon, Jacques Kuba Seguin will bring his Odd Lot sextet project to the festival. He is a trumpet

player who has incorporated elements of Eastern European music styles and elements of electronica into his jazz compositions. He is an award-winning trumpeter and composer who has a distinctly unique sound to his jazz that will have you wanting to hear more by the end of his performance.

The festival closing concert on Sunday will present a set by the fantastic Ottawa based Prime Rib Big Band. While only established about a year ago they have consistently played to full houses wherever they perform. The band includes some of the finest local musicians and with leader Ed Lister’s original charts and arrangements, the music of this 11-piece band will have you grinning from ear to ear.

Our mission to bring more music to the village continues to expand, through a onetime special Guitar Master Clinic with Sam Kirmayer on Saturday afternoon. This clinic presents an amazing opportunity for both aspiring and experienced guitarists of all genres to refine their technique under the guidance of a master musician.

This year’s edition will also see the introduction of a Sunday morning jazz worship service at Holy Trinity Anglican Church with Ottawa-based

Evensong Ensemble. Music & Our Spiritual Journey is a non-ticketed event open to the community at large.

MJF is made possible by our generous sponsors, whom we gratefully acknowledge here. Our platinum level sponsors this year are: The Baldachin Inn, The Blue Pearl Foundation and Wick Witch Candle & Bath Co. Our gold level sponsors are: A Touch of Whimsy, Holy Trinity Anglican Church, RONA Kemptville Building Centre, Lark Spur Line Ltd. and RBC Royal Bank.

Given the blend of straight ahead mainstream jazz, funky fusion and originality and the variety of local and out of town artists, you will want to get your weekend pass soon.

For more information on our program, artists, venues and a complete list of our sponsors, please visit merrickvillesjazzfest.com.

Tickets are reasonably priced and available for purchase on our website, The Knock Knock Shoppe or the Merrickville Book Emporium. Our opening night concert is free for sponsors and advance ticket holders.

See you Oct. 12 to 15 for what promises to be an exciting weekend!

Classic country music at Country Harvest Music Show Oct. 15

BY TARA GESNER

tgesner@metroland.com

Yee-haw! The Country Harvest Music Show in Carleton Place returns on Oct. 15.

The fall concert, now in its ninth year, is back at the Neelin Street Community Centre (arena).

“It will be a great evening of country classic music,” organizer Bob White told the Canadian Gazette.

“There will also be a special presentation.”

The 2017 headliners are Brad Scott of Pakenham, Renfrew’s Bailey Rogers, Joanne Post of Madoc and the duo of Marty McTiernan from Clayton and Carleton Place’s Brad Munro.

From the very beginning, White and Andy Bowes have been the driving force behind the Country Harvest Music Show..

“We really wanted to do a show in Carleton Place for seniors, for country music fans, and it needed to be in the fall – it needed to be when all the fairs were over,” White explained. “Also, the ticket price had to be affordable.”

On Sunday, the doors open at 5:30 p.m., with the show beginning promptly at 7 p.m.

Jimmy Simpson is handling the sound, and 2010 Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame inductee Charlie Kitts is back as MC. “Charlie is the best MC,” White

stated. “He keeps the show flowing, he keeps it on time.”

The concert’s house band needs no introduction – comprised of Andy Bowes on bass, Brad Scott playing lead guitar, Wade Foster on fiddle, Al Bragg on pedal steel guitar and Mark Lemieux playing the drums.

“Andy calls it a show band,” White said with a smile.

Bragg was inducted into the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame in 1997 as a member of Tenderfoot, one of the premiere bands to come out of the Ottawa Valley in the 1970’s.

The Country Harvest Music Show is general admission, and the seating style is theatre.

“This is not a dance,” White stressed. “It is a night for people to sit back and enjoy a great show.”

With the show a licensed event, guests must be 19 years of age and older.

“There will also be tea, coffee, water and soft drinks for sale,” White noted.

Refreshments are not available during the show; however, they can be purchased beforehand and during the 20-minute intermission.

The Carleton Place & District File photo Civitan Club will conduct a 50/50 Clarence Bowes performs during the 2015 Country Harvest Music draw and there will be a small silent Show. This year’s show is set for Oct. 15 at the Neelin Street Community auction.

Centre and will feature a variety of Ottawa Valley talent.

Proceeds from the first five years

of the Country Harvest Music Show went to the Carleton Place Town Hall Auditorium Restoration Fund.

“We raised about $15,000, with the town matching the funds,” White explained.

More Fire Prevention Tips!

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

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

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

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

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

COMMENTARY

Try to be cyber safe

O

ctober is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and law enforcement agencies are trying to use the opportunity to make the public more aware of the risks associated with being online. It is sometimes difficult for many of us to figure out which digital ads or social media posts are legitimate, which is why police are offering safety tips and best practices in order to reduce the risk of becoming a victim of fraud or identity theft.

For example, the OPP’s campaign is focused on four broad themes: identity theft; online child safety; online shopping and safe trade zones; and the OPP cyber crime investigations team. Online and digital crimes in Canada are already estimated to total in the billions of dollars, and police are warning that the losses are expected to get even worse as next-generation crime devices and schemes evolve and become more advanced. We know that scams that are not that new are still making the rounds and

finding more victims, a recent example of which is a business that received unsolicited emails advertising heavy equipment for sale that were reportedly based on information lifted from legitimate auction and sales sites. The victim follows up with the apparently legit source of the emails and, after completing a wire transfer, is provided with excuses as to why the equipment has not been delivered and communicating has been difficult.

In addition to using caution when dealing with unsolicited emails, the public is being reminded of caller ID spoofing in which the telephone number on display is a local or familiar number to trick the potential victim into placing trust with the caller when, in fact, the call could be coming from anywhere in the world. Try not to feel embarrassed about reporting a loss after being duped, police emphasize. You are not alone, and sharing your experience could save others from a similar outcome.

They had stewed on the back of the Findlay Oval all morning. Then with a slotted spoon, she put them in the big brown bowl, and when they were cool enough to handle, with her well-scrubbed hands she squished out the stones, which were put on the breadboard.

The pitted plums were then bottled. The stones were my treat. How I loved to smash them with the little kitchen hammer, and then eat the innards. To me, the pulp was as good as anything I could buy from the candy counter at the Five and Dime store in Renfrew.

“How would you like some oven toast?” she might ask.

Would I? My mouth would water just thinking of it. Thin slices of bread would be slathered with butter on both sides, and put on a wire rack over a tin pie plate, and put in the hot oven. I could hardly stand the wait, as it toasted on the topside, and then the slices were flipped over to turn a golden brown on the other. It was crisp when taken out of the oven, and piping hot, and I devoured yet another treat of that magic time alone with Mother in the kitchen.

LETTER

From page 8

Hundreds of local people signed a petition requesting that Lanark County desist from roadside spraying, and they asked for no-spray signs. And when this request was denied at the county level, protest signs advocating education over pesticides dotted the countryside.

In 2017 Lanark County offered exemptions in the form of legal contracts for residents who did not want their roadsides sprayed. Friends of Lanark County printed notices of these exemptions and delivered them by hand – at very short notice – and advertised this option on their website. In this way, hundreds of residents who were unaware of this option, were notified and were thus able to apply.

An impressive commitment was shown by several groups of citizens who stepped up to adopt roadsides and manage the wild parsnip on their own -- despite all the onerous conditions that needed to be met before a road could be adopted. This resulted in more than 60 lane-kilometres of roadside being managed in an

environmentally sustainable way.

The Adopt-A-Road experience reinforced the appreciation that wild parsnip is only a plant, and not to be feared.

It has required persistent, sustained involvement, but the efforts of so many concerned citizens have shown positive results.

Signage was erected, following pesticide application. The municipalities of Tay Valley, Mississippi Mills and Beckwith did not spray their municipal roads this year. Neither did the Township of Rideau Lakes. And the council of Tay Valley (which, of all the Lanark County municipalities, has the most county roads passing through it) sent a unanimously approved motion to Lanark County to halt spraying on county roads within their jurisdiction. To their great consternation, Lanark County council denied this request.

Despite these events, there have been some positive changes at the county level. Several councillors and staff are reframing how they look at the issue of roadside spraying, and are more aware of the need to protect our sensitive water systems

and the plants that our pollinators depend on. A positive step this year was that several county roads were spot-sprayed instead of boom-sprayed, and so did not kill all flowering plants on the roadsides. As of last fall, Lanark County now has a vegetative management plan which gives them tools to use other than toxic pesticides.

From my understanding, the two-year spray program is now over, and people have learned a great deal. The focus now needs to be on educating people about wild parsnip, and on restoring and replanting damaged areas.

So, here’s looking at you, Lanark County, and hoping that this is the beginning of a constructive partnership. Let’s build together on the positive steps made. For this to happen, concerned citizens need to stay engaged, and advocate for true respect and collaboration from Lanark County council. After all, we are ALL environmental stewards, and accountable for the world we leave to future generations.

course, was a special treat. No one else in my family, it seemed to me, liked cucumber sandwiches. But I could make a meal of them, if I was allowed, but again Mother would say, “Don’t spoil your supper.”

Any one of these special treats would have been enough to amply satisfy me to replace my dinner or supper if allowed.

But Mother saw to it that what I got was ‘just a taste’. I would be expected to eat my dinner or supper as well. My sister Audrey, who was always concerned

about gaining weight, could never understand why I was as thin as rail with all I ate between meals, and would say she could gain a pound drinking water! It wouldn’t have mattered to me if I grew as big as a house, nothing would stop me from those kitchen treats I loved with a passion.

The year Stompin' Tom first came to Carleton Place With the reopening of the former Mississippi Hotel in Carleton Place (now called The Grand Hotel), and this being Canada’s 150th birthday, perhaps it’s time again to look back at one of the town’s favourite stories.

For it (the story) never seems to get old and continues to live on. Indeed, more than ever, the events surrounding Stompin’ Tom’s one-month visit during the Centennial Year have become solidified in the consciousness and social fabric of that community.

The year was 1967 — Canada’s Centennial Year. A time to celebrate the past. A time for new beginnings. And it was also the year a certain roving troubadour, one remarkable woman, an Ottawa Valley town and a hotel that still exists all came together to make history. It was the year that Stompin’ Tom Connors first came to Carleton Place.

The late Canadian country music icon referred to the old Mississippi Hotel (that still stands guard on the corner of Bridge Street and Lake Avenue, although its name has been changed) in Carleton Place as the “Grand Ole Lady.” And he had good reason to have fond memories of this treasured Ottawa Valley landmark.

This is because he wrote one of his very first hit songs there, and Stompin’ Tom was not the kind of man to forget those people and places that had

helped him along the way. The song he wrote there was the great Ottawa Valley tribute tune Big Joe Mufferaw.

On a warm summer’s day in early June, a relatively unknown singer by the name of Tom Connors rolled into Carleton Place, driving his pickup truck and parking it out back behind the legendary establishment. He walked inside, carrying his guitar and a piece of plywood. Four men were sitting around a table and Connors bought them all beer, with the understanding that they would cheer him on when he auditioned for the owner.

The owner was none other the unforgettable (and inductee into the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame) Lorraine Lemay.

Right up until the time of her death, she always referred to Tom Connors as “one of the finest gentleman I have ever met.”

Connors got the job, and thus, a month-long engagement set the stage for one of Carleton Place’s “proudest moments” and the launch of Stompin’ Tom’s recording career.

During his time there, he played three weeks at Mississippi Country (which the Mississippi Hotel was known as at the time), worked in the daytime with a local farmer, “jammed” with several local musicians and went through four sheets of plywood. He also played one week at the Kemptville

Tales from the Troubadour LYLE DILLABOUGH

Hotel (this is how he came up with the line, “the girl from Kemptville town” ... a line referring to Lorraine Lemay herself) and rode in what still remains as Carleton Place’s biggest parade ever on Dominion Day (July 1) 1967.

It somehow seems the stuff of romantics or legend when one thinks of the unknown Connors driving his pickup with a sign reading simply “Tom Connors at the Mississippi Hotel” into history.

People still talk of this tall, lanky man’s time in the Carleton Place area to this day. It seems that everyone who met him has a “Stompin’ Tom story” to tell. One thing is certain: he made a definite impression on all who saw him.

In those days, Connors would sleep on a bed that he had set up in the back of his pickup. However, after much convincing on the part of Ms. Lemay, he finally agreed to accept her offer of a room in the hotel. “He just didn’t want to be a burden in any way,” Lemay said in an interview several years later.

Lemay also recalled how he worked on the lines of Big Joe Mufferaw day after day. “He kept asking me” she recalled, “do you think it’s any good, Mrs. Lemay? Do you think it’s any good?”

Two years later, the song could be heard constantly on every country station in Canada.

In 1990, the Mississippi Hotel was nearly demolished. Only a concerted effort on the part of a few dedicated locals ensured that this did not happen.

That and a “public plea” made by none other than Connors himself. “All that can be done must be done to ensure the preservation of the ‘Grand Ole Lady,’” he declared in a written statement. And the rest is history, as the “Grand Ole Lady” was saved and thus it remains.

In 1998, during a concert stop in Carleton Place, town officials attempted to present Connors with a plaque commemorating him on his contribution to the town and its history. But, in typical Connors fashion, he refused to accept it and the plaque was left with his manager. He was, however, very interested in knowing how his efforts to save the hotel turned out, and when Ms. Lemay passed away, he was grateful to be informed of her passing.

Still, one could not be faulted for wondering why he never returned to pay a visit to Ms. Lemay. Some say this is due to the fact that the two of them

had a bit of a “thing” going back in ‘67, but who knows?

When Connors passed away in March 2013, the national CBC and CTV television networks came to Carleton Place (at the Mississippi Hotel) to shoot footage on the Stompin’ Tom/ Carleton Place connection. A large mural was painted on the side of the building that stands beside the old hotel. Here is a line from the tune he wrote there. It reads, “And all the folks around Carleton Place knows the Mississippi rolled off of Big Joe’s face.”

Saving the Grand Ole Lady In 1990, the year Stompin’ Tom helped to save the Mississippi hotel from demolition, there was a concerted effort on the part of some to ensure the survival of the “Grand Ole Lady.”

Former Carleton Place Canadian editor Dianne Tysick Pinder-Moss was one of those who did her best by publishing everything she could to help keep the issue in the forefront of people’s minds at that time.

The following is an example of this ongoing effort back then: Hotel should be saved, say area media/music celebrities. That appeared in the Canadian Gazette, written by myself, who was a special contributor in the day.

Several Ottawa Valley celebrities have spoken out in favour of saving and preserving the 100-year-old Missisippi Hotel.

Postcards are yet another fast fading tradition When was the last time you sent a postcard while on holiday? Perhaps you are among those who have never sent a postcard? When was the last time you received a postcard?

Personally I’m still attached to the long-standing tradition of sending postcards to family and friends while on vacation.

First of all it’s a great way to show people where you are or where you have been recently.

Over the years I’ve discovered that receiving a postcard is a “feel good” experience for many of those who find my written messages from abroad in their mailbox. After all, most of what we receive in the post in this country today is either bills or advertising flyers and leaflets. Discovering a letter or postcard in the mail is an experience to be savoured. I’m pleased to report that we still receive many Christmas/new year cards from family, friends and colleagues during the holiday season, although clearly Christmas cards are also a dying tradition.

Admittedly despite sending cards while we are away we rarely receive them. In fact I can tell you exactly when the

last one arrived. It was last winter (early 2017) when a longtime friend and colleague sent us a card from Jamaica where she and her husband were enjoying a warm weather week. The beach photo on the front featuring endless sand under a brilliant sun gave us hope that the summer of 2017 would eventually arrive. It did of course, although not until about three weeks ago!

So, what’s to blame for so many people abandoning the long fashionable tradition of sending postcards?

Well, blame it on the internet. That’s what Britain’s oldest postcard printing company says. U.K. publisher J. Salmon will close its doors in December after printing postcards and calendars in Sevenoaks, Kent (just southeast of London) continuously since 1880.

In announcing their pending closure last week a spokesperson for the firm told the BBC the business is no longer viable.

They say it’s because the vast majority of travellers are now posting photographs and messages about their experiences on Facebook or Instagram or using WhatsApp to tell family,

friends and colleagues about their vacations.

When you can contact people any time from anywhere at minimal cost via the World Wide Web, with personal photos from vacation spots attached, who needs to spend money on postcards and stamps? As anyone who has purchased them recently can tell you, stamps are expensive and they’re getting pricier.

The move by J. Salmon simply confirms what most of us already know. Postcards and personal cards of all kinds are rapidly becoming a thing of the past. People today also send birthday and anniversary messages via the internet and post their condolences on funeral home websites. It’s a brave new world folks!

postcards have fallen out of favour there. A quarter century ago some 20 million postcards a year were purchased and sent

by U.K. residents. Last year that number had been reduced to about five million.

Postcards were first invented in the 19th century at a time when virtually all communication, even locally, was through the mail. In those days people would send a letter or card to nearby family and friends if they intended to drop over on

the weekend. In England at least mail delivery happened twice a day. It might have here too at one time. So if an expected letter or parcel didn’t arrive in the morning people hoped it would appear in “the second post” in the afternoon.

In the past postcards often featured drawings or paintings of a particular place rather than the more modern photographs. They offered a visual experience for the recipient.

LAWS sees more than fifty cat, kitten adoptions during month of September Shout-out to our partner pet stores who continue to support LAWS by making space for our adoptable cats and kittens, caring for them during their stay, making sure they get all the cuddles they need until they are adopted, and handling the adoptions.

We could not care for as many as we do without your invaluable help.

September was a fantastic month for adoptions. We had more than 50 cat and kitten adoptions, and about half of them were from the pet stores.

Many thanks to management and staff at Natural Pet Foods in Carleton Place and Pet Valu stores in Carleton Place, Almonte and Perth.

And thanks also to their customers who opened their hearts and gave these sweet creatures their “fur”ever homes.

Please note, the shelter will be closed on Monday, Oct. 9. Happy Thanksgiving!

If the packaging looks too good – check the ingredients

BY MEENA TIPPER

Just because a food sounds healthy, doesn’t necessarily mean it is. The food industry uses words and phrases that can trick people into thinking packaged, processed foods are healthier than they actually are.

A great example of how a product can be marketed as healthy is on snack products which claim to be “made with real fruit” or “provide one serving of fruit.” Fruit gummies, juice, and frozen treats claim to be healthy when there is little to no real fruit in them.

When fruit is highly processed, it loses great things like fibre, nutrients and the feeling of fullness we get from eating whole fruit.

The front of the package can be deceiving, so look at the ingredient list.

If fruit juice or fruit concentrate are listed, this means added sugar, not actual fruit.

Vegetables Many of us would like to increase

MAGUIRE

From page 12

R0013021901

I read an associated story last week which debunks that idea. A survey done for Gatwick Airport (London’s second busiest aerial port of entry) showed that 38 per cent of the millennials surveyed claimed to have sent one or more postcards from the site of their last holiday. That compares to just 24 per cent of people over age 35 who were surveyed.

I believe the cost of mailing items today, combined with the fact many people are taking shorter holidays — sea and river cruises spring to mind — are major contributing factors in the decline of postcards. In addition most vacations are busy which makes it less likely people will sit down and write out postcards.

The number of cards I send these days is contingent on two things. The length of our holiday and the time I have available to purchase cards, write messages and then locate the

our vegetable intake. There are many ways that the food industry uses words or phrases to make it sound like their products can help with this, but these products do not measure up to an actual serving of vegetables (a half cup of fresh, frozen or canned vegetables; 1 cup of raw leafy greens).

On the front of some packaged foods such as pasta, crackers, tortillas, veggie chips or sticks and juices it says they contain “real vegetables” or a “serving of vegetables.” There are also many vegetable powders added to foods to make them appear healthier, but they are not as healthy as whole vegetables. When vegetables are highly processed, they lose fibre, nutrients and water.

It is important to look at the ingredient list, instead of the front of the box. Words like vegetable powder, extract or concentrate, are used to make you think the products contains actual vegetables. Even though whole potatoes, beets, kale, cauliflower and

stamps necessary to mail them. Although most good hotels are happy to provide stamps and post messages for guests. So it’s not that difficult.

On my September visit to Ireland and England I only sent three postcards. Two went to uncles who live elsewhere in Ontario and the other was sent to my youngest sister and her family in Edmonton. I knew I’d be in touch with most of my regular postcard recipients at home before they received them. The fact I neglected to bring our address book was also a contributing factor.

However, my uncle Wayne Watson in Toronto claims to have kept every holiday postcard I have ever sent him. And that’s a lot of postcards! That fact alone is enough to keep me firmly on the postcard bandwagon.

Nutrition Tips broccoli are very healthy, the processed, powdered versions of these are not.

The best way to get your vegetables is by eating whole vegetables; fresh, frozen or canned. You can lower the sodium content by rinsing canned vegetables. You can also increase your vegetable intake by adding chopped or blended vegetables to foods you normally eat like rice, potatoes, soups and homemade smoothies.

Gluten-free Many food companies market foods as “glutenfree” in the hopes that people will think these foods are a healthier choice. Gluten is a type of protein found in wheat, barley and rye. It is harmless for most people except for those diagnosed with Celiac disease or a gluten allergy. For these people, a gluten-free diet is necessary for their health. However, for others, a gluten-free diet is not needed.

A food product that is gluten-free is not necessarily healthier. Packaged foods such as gluten-free versions of cakes, cookies, brownies, doughnuts, muffins and granola bars may contain more sugar and sodium and less vitamins and fibre than the original versions. Use the

nutrition facts table to compare a gluten-free food to its regular version.

Many foods are naturally gluten-free and are healthy for everyone including those with Celiac disease or a gluten allergy or intolerance.

Some familiar gluten-free foods include vegetables, fruits, low-fat dairy, seafood, beans, chickpeas, poultry, rice, potatoes and glutenfree whole grains such as rice, buckwheat and quinoa.

Sodium “Made with the goodness of sea salt” is a common claim used by the food industry to make you think that a product with sea salt is better for you than a product made with iodized table salt. Sea salt, Himalayan salt, kosher and gourmet salts have the same amount of sodium as table salt, and are not healthier choices.

Taste, texture and how they are made are the only differences.

Different kinds of salt are marketed as being full of minerals; however, these minerals are in tiny amounts.

The minerals from salt do not have a great impact on our total intake, since our main source of these minerals is from the food we eat. Table salt in Canada is supplemented with iodine to prevent iodine deficiency.

Our bodies do not make

iodine, so we need to get it from foods. Iodine is found in seaweed, seafood, milk products, legumes and some vegetables and fruit, however, our main source is from iodized table salt. Iodine is important in thyroid function that influences growth, development and how our body uses energy.

For healthy adults, the recommendation is 1500 mg of sodium per day which about 1/3 of a teaspoon.

However, most of us eat

twice that amount. If you use salt of any kind, use less.

Try to include more herbs and spices such as garlic, basil, oregano, or lemon to add more flavour to food.

If you are comparing packaged products, use the nutrition facts table to choose products with five per cent or less daily value for sodium.

A peek at what goes on behind the scenes of a Kemptville Players production We are in the final weeks of rehearsals for our fall play Sadie Flynn Comes To Big Oak and the Kemptville Players Inc. production team is busy finalizing the hundreds of details that get the play onto the stage.

While the actors are busy polishing their performances, I thought it would interest the readers to find out how we actually get our actors battle ready and prepared for that scariest of moments — opening night! The actors are the ones who get the applause, but for every actor you see on stage, there at least three to four people making the production possible. These are the unseen heroes of theatre and each one plays a vitally important role in getting the production to the stage.

Once we have the director and producer in place, the production team takes over to find the stage manager, front of house manager, set builders, set designers and all the sound and lights technical help. We have to organize a publicity team, a props team, hairdressers, costume dressers and makeup artists — and we have a prompter just in case!

Funny money raised at QE school for Terry Fox Run

BY DESMOND DEVOY

keeping it local and canadian for over 40 years

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Something looked funny at the Queen Elizabeth Public School Terry Fox Run last week.

And teachers are probably glad that the school does not have a strict dress code, or they may have found themselves in detention (thankfully, the Fashion Police were not in town that day, lest they may be getting a fashion makeover as we speak.)

The teachers were dressed in outrageous, outlandish gear – boas, pink cowboy hats, sombreros, etc. – as part of a bet with the students, that if they rose to the occasion in their donations to cancer research, they would throw caution, and their fashion sense, to the wind and dress up.

The students ended up raising about $665, during the event on the afternoon of Thursday, Sept. 28. Grade 4 students in Lyndsay Robilliard and Rachel Pratt’s classes planned and organized the event in which students from kindergarten to Grade 6 participated.

Robilliard estimated that to match what Terry Fox ran back in 1980, the students would have had to have completed 22,451 laps around the schoolyard.

Perth hospital ‘very close’ to hiring new internist

BY DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

The Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital (PSFDH) is in line to hire a new internist.

“We are very close to securing an internist,” said Mayor John Fenik, during the Perth town council meeting Tuesday, Sept.

26. “(Internists) are few and far between.”

He said Bev McFarlane, president and chief executive officer of the PSFDH, was scheduled to make a presentation to council’s committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 3, shortly after 5:30 p.m.

Fenik had attended the hospital board meeting earlier Tuesday, and said the internist would be hired thanks, in part, to physician-recruitment efforts.

The internist is part of a hospital’s assessment team, and while the hospital already has two internists, “they are headed for retirement,” said Fenik.

As for the overall issue of physician-recruitment, “it is an evergreen issue.”

Perth town councillors Ed McPherson, left, and Jim Graff, right, discuss town hall business before the start of the Sept. 26 town council meeting. rage roof at 17 Sunset Blvd. will breathe new life into the facility, according to staff.

Town council voted unanimously on Sept. 26 to grant a tender to Roof and Building Services International, a division of Ricardo Roofing Ltd., to replace the entire roof with steel, to the tune of $123,500, with the town’s insurer covering half the cost.

Before fire damaged half of the roof, Coun. Jim Boldt noted that the building was listed as

being “in fair disrepair,” he said.

“Are we going to get our money’s worth?” asked Boldt, by putting a new roof on the building.

“There is good integrity in the building,” said treasurer Lang Britchford, referring to an engineering report.

“Once you get on a good roof, fixing up the inside is OK,” Britchford said.

Before the roof fire, the “lion’s share” of repair costs to the garage would have had to go to the roof anyway.

“Half of it (the cost) is being covered by the insurer,” said Britchford, so, the actual cost to the taxpayer would be more in the amount of $65,000.

Some of the work that still needs to be done to the building is “cosmetic,” said Britchford.

“It has not been painted in forever and a day.”

Fenik said there was life in the building yet, and “to actually build a brand new works garage would cost us several millions of dollars.”

FENTANYL From front page

in Renfrew “was almost scary,” and that a few thousand pills can net a drug lord as much as $30 million on the street.

“What a good business model,” said newly-sworn in provincial PSB member Eric Halpin. Having heard the presentation in Renfrew himself, Halpin admitted that “it shook me up.”

Clement said that, for him, a scary statistic was that “two small grains of fentanyl, the size of sugar (crumbs),” can cause an overdose. “It is scary.”

Clement wondered if intervention by the situation table on fentanyl cases that were known to the police — where the group gets most of its referrals — might help prevent possible future overdoses.

“Potentially,” said Gray. “It depends on the situation,” so to speak. “Probably yes,” she ventured, adding that “we want people to call 911 if there is an overdose,” but that “if that person needed to be connected to services,” that the table might be a good place to go.

At Long Last: After a two year wait, Eric Halpin, the new provincial appointee to the Perth police services board, is sworn in by Perth town hall’s chief administrative officer, John deRosenroll, in the Sunshine Room at town hall, on Thursday, Sept. 28, at the very start of the Perth police services board meeting.

Land claim process seeks public input on proposed settlement lands

BY DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Do you know something that the provincial government does not?

Or the Algonquin First Nation, or the federal government for that matter?

All three parties are seeking input from the public on the Algonquin land claim’s draft environmental evaluation report, but, they need to be submitted by Tuesday, Oct. 17.

Submissions can be made via email at eerfeedback@ontario.ca, or by phone at 1-844276-9091, or even by mail at the Ontario Information Centre, Algonquin Land Claim, 31 Riverside Dr., Pembroke, ON, K8A 8R6.

A series of public open houses are being held across the province, and one Lanark County stop was held this past Wednesday, Sept. 27, at Code’s Mill in Perth.

“It’s a mix between questions and people giving an opinion,” said Ontario’s chief negotiator, Doug Carr, during an interview that evening.

One of the recurring questions has been: “Why did they choose this piece (of land)?” Other questions involve continued non-Algonquin access to lands in the settlement areas, which are still to be negotiated. “(These are) all great questions,” said Carr.

“The Algonquins are open to light purposes,” by non-Algonquin peoples to use the lands (subject to negotiation) such as, for example, berry picking, “as long as it is not interfering with our (Algonquin) use of the land and so long as people recognize it is our land.”

The open houses, and the chance for feedback from the community, will allow people to,

Doug Carr, Ontario’s chief negotiator for the Algonquin land claim, attended the public open house at Code’s Mill on Sept. 27.

say, let the province know about “the special nature of a lake,” in the proposed settlement lands.

The proposed settlement area lands in Lanark County (and abutting them) are: • Just outside of Port Elmsley, off of County Road 43.

• Near Kilmarnock, Montague Township.

• Northeast of Andrewsville, just on the City of Ottawa side of the border, in the southwest corner.

• The north shore of Joe’s Lake, Lanark Highlands Township, along the Clyde River, east of White Lake Conservation Area.

• A pocket at Darling Long Lake.

A sizable portion of the lands, according to Carr, will be used to preserve the natural environment, “and (the) conduct of traditional practices,” said Carr. A quarter of the lands will be used for spiritual and/or cultural practices.

Some of the lands, like this up at Joe’s Lake, for example, are far off the beaten track.

“Back in the day, people got around by canoes,” said Carr. Now, those parcels of land would be more likely used for traditional practices and are “less likely to need heavy duty access.”

The process will, he hopes, will inform the next round of negotiations. The province has been using criteria to select proposed settlement lands, which, while being done with nearly 50 criteria, and all the best information they have available, is not perfect.

With these open houses, “here’s our chance to test that proposition,” that these lands are the best for a settlement. And who better to test them out than “the people who are on the land,” itself, he said. “The things we learn are to inform those (next round of) negotiations.”

As for the Algonquins, “they want their settlement (lands) to be integrated into the wider community,” he said. At the same time, “they want their entitlements,” he said.

Chief Doreen Davis, chief of the Shabot Obaadjiwan, near Sharbot Lake, was scheduled to attend the Perth open house, but Carr has already had talks with her, and she attended the previous open house earlier in the week in Kingston.

Open dialogue Already, the open houses are having an impact on planning for the next round in the process.

Carr pointed to a large parcel of land, north of North Bay, is being considered as an Algonquin settlement land — save for a tiny speck on the map that looked to be a hunting camp.

“We were never able to contact this private property owner,” right in the heart of the territory, said Carr. Lo and behold, the owners walked in to an open house.

“Yay!” Carr remembers exclaiming. “They showed up!”

In talking with the camp owners, they discovered that “they would love to make some kind of arrangement with the Algonquins for the land,” he said. “There were two people who we’d been looking for for five years.”

During the Kingston open house on Sept. 26 at the Ambassador Hotel, Davis herself was approached by two men who said that they represented a hunt camp near Sharbot Lake.

The three looked at the map, only for Davis to say, “Well, there’s no hunt camp there,” recalled Carr. “Reality trumps all the government (reports) in the world.”

Another major concern for non-Algonquin peoples is how the land will be used — and if they will have to play by the rules like everyone else. “(Algonquins are) subject to the same rules as anybody else,” Carr said, with the Algonquins hoping that their settlement lands will have a “net neutral effect,” on the surrounding areas, as they are alive to the “need for this (settlement) to make sense in the wider Ottawa Valley.”

“If they (Algonquins) wanted to set up a nuclear waste dump, they’ll have to apply (for a permit) just like everybody else,” he added.

Perth psychotherapist offers new autism program

BY DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Heather Church is sometimes at her most efficient when she is just playing all day.

The Perth-based psychotherapist works with children with autism, and admits that “it feels so foreign,” sometimes to just play with her young clients — but it is all part of a larger plan.

“You’re just supposed to play,” said Church, during an interview in her office at the Perth Medical Clinic on the morning of Monday, Sept. 11. “Developing a rapport” with a client is, she says, “key … You have to take that time to do the pairing.”

It’s not just her though — “green therapists have a hard time with this, just playing,” as they still have a mindset that they must always be hitting goals, milestones, and be able to show something from a session.

“Some of the best therapy you will see is in play,” explains Church to her younger partners.

A casual observer may see Church and a young client reclining on a beanbag chair, reading a book — but there is more going on than meets the eye. The child may be identifying colours on the page, the type of animals he or she sees. Even focusing on a book for a period of

time may, itself, be an achievement.

Church is celebrating an achievement at her psychotherapy service, which has been operating in Perth since November. Her company, Blue Heron Psychotherapy Services, has partnered with Terrace Autism Therapy Services to provide autism intervention in Lanark County and beyond.

“It’s an under-served area, and I am the only BCBA (board certified behaviour analyst) qualified to supervise Autism ABA programs between here and Kanata,” she wrote in an Aug. 9 email. “So, it’s an exciting time for us.”

ABA refers to applied behaviour analysis, and she is working with Terrace Wellness Group’s autism therapy program. Those looking to access her services do not need a referral.

“They can come to me,” she said. “Terrace does the administrative stuff.”

She consults with one of Terrace’s clinical psychologists, though she is the one who goes out for home visits, for a minimum of five hours every two weeks, or, 10 hours per month.

She works on life skills with the children, such as tying shoelaces, using fasteners, preparing snacks, and structuring time.

After her initial visit with the client, she will write up a program for the client, and get the

parents to sign off on it.

At her office, she also deals with psychotherapy sessions, and she says “it’s a good type of busy. It keeps you stimulated … It helps keep it real.”

Church worked with autistic children through Pathways for Children and Youth in Kingston.

After the deluge: Insurance company tells Perth it will cover burst dam costs

BY DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

The town’s insurer has promised that the costs will be covered following the break in the coffer dam on Friday, Sept. 29.

The dam suffered a break of some type at 5:10 p.m., and “it was unexpected and without warning,” said Grant Machan, the town’s environmental services director, during an update he gave to Perth town council on Tuesday, Sept. 26.

During the deluge of water that flowed out of the Aquabarrier coffer dam, it was estimated that about 15 cubic metres of water per second flowed over the old Haggart Dam. “We were fortunate to have a contractor on site quickly,” said Machan.

“The site is secured,” he said, and staff have adjusted water flows in both the Little Tay and the main Tay River.

The temporary dam had been installed using a 300-ton crane, and it was installed without issue, Machan told council. The Aquabarrier was purchased in 2015 to accommodate both rocky ramp sites. After the first stage was completed, the Aquabarrier was inspected by a sales representative, then repackaged and stored until September of 2017.

“I’m glad to hear that it was inspected before it was put away,” said Coun. Jim Boldt.

The town still has a warranty on the Aquabarrier, and insurance coverage worth $52,000 in value, with a $10,000 deductible. While the town’s corporate services staff are investigating the Aquabarrier itself, environmental services staff are consulting with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF).

The Town of Perth’s environmental services director, Grant Machan, left, has a word in the ear of Perth Deputy Mayor John Gemmell before the start of the town council meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 26. Inset, at right, the crumpled Aquabarrier remains.

Staff from the MNRF, the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA), and Matrix engineers, were on site earlier that day (Sept.

26), and an insurance adjuster was slated to visit the site on Wednesday, Sept. 27.

However, Boldt was concerned about the speed at which the insurance company might sign off on any compensation.

“They are not always quick to give you approval of a claim,” Boldt said, of insurance companies in general.

However, the town’s treasurer, Lang Britchford, noted that with the town “being a corpo-

rate insurance client, we get a slightly higher level of service … We’ve got a crackerjack policy.”

By way of example, he said that there was “no quibble” from the insurance company when it came to paying out on the town’s policy on the public works garage after the roof fire.

“We will be reimbursed for a new sack (Aquabarrier),” said Britchford.

Chief administrative officer John deRosenroll agreed with Britchford, saying that “the insurance company has come forward and said we will be covered.”

Coun. Riq Turner asked if the insurance

company would cover the cost for any emergency work that needed to be carried out, like getting the contractor to come in after hours on the Friday evening.

“We don’t have those numbers at this time,” said Machan.

“We can add that to the claim,” added Britchford.

Machan indicated at the end of his presentation that his preferred way to move forward was to replace the Aquabarrier coffer dam and to install a temporary rock/clay coffer dam.

Kudos “This is time sensitive,” said Machan. “It’s getting into hibernation season.”

Mayor John Fenik commended staff for going “above and beyond,” during the emergency, and for preventing a bad situation from getting worse. But, “we have to get this project done.”

Coun. Jim Graff commended Machan, saying that “he got the contractors there in a hurry,” he said, but he added that, with the deluge of water, “it is a mess down stream.”

While an unfortunate event, Fenik said that he was most glad that there was “nobody hurt, nobody injured, property was preserved.”

Tay Valley driver charged with failing to stop for school bus in DNE Lanark County OPP officers have charged a 68-year-old Tay Valley woman with one count of failing to stop for a school bus, contrary to the Highway Traffic Act. At around 3:21 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 28, 2016, a school bus was stationary with lights operating and a stop sign activated, on the south

side of Highway 43, east of the Foster Side Road, in Drummond/North Elmsley Township.

A westbound Pontiac passenger vehicle passed the school bus.

The drive was issued with a provincial offences notice, which carried, upon conviction, a total fine of $490 and six demerit points.

OPINION I

Connected to your community

Bond. Charles Bond.

like to name things...particularly inanimate objects.

As I kid in the 1970s I had a pet rock. Who didn’t? I think it was “Rocky.” (I know. But I was little.)

In high school I charmed people with my imaginary friend named George.

(Okay…maybe not “charmed.” I just tried to keep things interesting. What can I say?) I’m not sure if empty space counts as inanimate, but George definitely took up room. Especially in the cafeteria at lunchtime. (“You can’t sit there. George is there.” Weirdo.)

In university I had a computer named Arthur. It had personality. It was a TRS80 from Radio Shack hooked up to an old black and white TV as a monitor and attached to a dot matrix printer. It was awesome. It got stuff done.

My next computer was Arthur II. My first smartphone was George.

Mr. George Blackberry, Executive Assistant, to be precise. He was the first in a line of smartphone Georges.

So, I seem to like Arthurs and Georges when it comes to technology… and imaginary friends.

When it became apparent I would be expending a chunk o’ cash on a tiny product for my ear thanks to lost hearing on the left side, it seemed only fitting that I personalize things.

(One could say I am “anthropomorphizing” things if you wanted to get all fancy and throw $10 words around.

Just like “scatological” is a fancy word for “poop.”)

Anyway, it seemed to me this particular product, a hearing aid, needed a name I hadn’t used before. He (or she) is discreet yet powerful. Not only is it designed to amplify sound, but it can also be programmed to pick up certain sounds from certain directions. Also, it has a special feature that is supposed to help with the never-ending tinnitus I have in that ear. It can be programmed to emit sounds to distract me from the relentless ringing.Right.

So, setting all that aside, what do you name an object that hides in your ear and wields such power – including over my mind? (Assuming I’m not actually in the Secret Service and sporting an ear piece.)

Well, the first name that came to me was “Charles.”

Of course.

I have no idea why. At least it wasn’t Arthur or George.

So, I decided to put it out there to the Interwebs and asked my Facebook

Past Deadline

STEPHANIE GRAY

friends for their thoughts. Some liked the Charles suggestion. Nobody called me weird – at least not online using words.

Several hopped on board with suggestions that played on the words “ear” and “hearing” and “aid,” such as Hearald, Aidrian, Mark (as in “Ear Marked”), Earl, Pearl, Lefty Hurd (because it’s my left side), Buzz and Hear3PO. Someone suggested “Lord Varys,” who is The Whisperer from Game of Thrones, but as one of the only people on the planet who does not faithfully watch that show, the name simply doesn’t do anything for me.

Support for Charles was relatively high, but a few people suggested a James Bond theme (that’d be the subversive, hidden, working undercover spy element coming through). So, there could be 007 or James or Bond.

And someone suggested Pierce (as in Brosnan), which could be altered to be “Pearce,” bringing in that whole “ear” play again. In fact, I think Pearce would be very clever.

But I keep coming back to Charles, and I don’t know why. Maybe I like to name my technology after long-dead kings?

It has been a little over a month since my hearing aid adventure began. I’m used to the physical aspect of it, but still working on the rest. After a few adjustments I feel as if I am starting to hear some things a little better, but other things are just an amplified mess.

For example, when sitting outside in the evening, it seems as if the crickets are screaming at me through a tin can.

Singing along to the radio in the car isn’t as much fun as it used to be, either.

I haven’t yet tried the tinnitus-masking technology because I’m not sure having more sounds in my head will actually be helpful. Besides, I’m learning to live with the ringing.

So, Charles and I, or whatever name I ultimately settle upon, currently have an uneasy truce. I let him live in my ear, he makes things interesting – sometimes in a helpful way, sometimes not so much. We’re a work in progress.

Vacation mode for three weeks

’m in vacation mode … for three weeks!

It’s hard to believe that it was just a year ago that I had a vacation. Well, a day here and there doesn’t really count, because I didn’t get a chance to fully disconnect from work mode.

I’ve been taking time in October to enjoy the beautiful fall foliage on several road trips, always with a camera in hand.

The past two years, I vegged out in front of the television and watched my Blue Jays in a playoff run. Not this year though, danged those birds!

So I figured we’d try something a little more fun and exciting this year.

We’re getting married!

Well, the truth is, by the time you read this column in the Oct. 5 paper, we will have tied the knot in a sunrise ceremony in Kingston, with just Mom, our officiant, and the photographer by our sides.

We have both been down this path

LAURIE WEIR Weir View before. We’ve had a few marriages between us, but there is no doubt in my mind that we’ll get this one right. You would think we wouldn’t bother at this stage in life.

We weren’t going to. One of our first conversations was how we were not going to travel down this road again. Ha! Famous last words. But this one is at least going to be fun!

Sunrise ceremony and a sunset dinner cruise. It is pretty laid back for the most part. I just handed over a few hundred bucks to our officiant who came up with the flowers, the venue, the witnesses, photographer/videographer, cruise and a breakfast basket.

Tadah! That was easy, and stress free.

After some discussion on my name change, Sweet Baby and I have come to a compromise. I will keep my maiden name for work, and change it to his in my personal life.

Our waterside service under the protection of a gazebo will have some spiritual aspects to it. We’re not of the religious faith, so we will just be one with nature.

Then we’ll do a sunset cruise to cap our day.

Funny sidebar: Sweet Baby quit smoking about 18 months ago, so he’s put on a bit of weight. He’s not huge by any means, but his size 30 pants were more than a little snug. One wrong move and it would have been lights-out! My wedding dress, on the other hand, was quite large when I tried it on just last week. I guess the hiring of a personal trainer and cutting of carbs and sugars for the past month has been successful so far.

LE T TERS TO THE EDITOR

Hillier may have overstepped jurisdictional bounds: Reader DEAR EDITOR:

(Regarding: MPP Hillier under harassment investigation by Tay Valley Township, Perth Courier, Sept. 25.)

Given the number of complaints to media from our local MPP this past week on the workplace harassment investigation in Tay Valley Township, one has to wonder what is the other side of this story?

Tay Valley council is not able to comment while an investigation is underway, but there are discrepancies in the statements to media that deserve a closer look. Amongst others, an elected representative of a higher level of government charging “intimidation” from a small, rural municipality somehow has a hollow sound.

The record of approaches over the past several months - correspondence, requests for in-camera meetings, and an organized delegation – followed by a concerted media campaign, suggest, in my opinion, that “intimidation” has been in the opposite direction.

This was followed by a charge that the harassment “complaint is ... a violation of the rights (and) privileges... of a member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario,” and that it “may result in a civil suit against all parties involved, including, but not limited to, the township CAO, employees, and members of township council.”

If it is true that one cannot complain about an MPP, without being subjected to a lawsuit, our democracy would seem headed in a sad direction.

Taxpayers in the township should be concerned with the potential damage to our economy by a media campaign against our municipality that has gone across Canada. People who have lived here for any length of time know what a wonderful community

COLUMN From page P8

this is, in which we have all benefitted from the protection of our lakes, streams, and natural resources. Some apparently wish to downgrade this for personal benefit. Our community, our children, and grandchildren deserve better than that.

The Home Builders’ Association and our MPP are using alternative facts when describing Tay Valley’s construction record in terms of the lowest recent year (2016). A quick search shows that over the past three years single-family home approvals numbered an average of two-anda-half times the 2016 figure, and in 2017, to date, are almost four times that of last year. Further, no one with a balanced approach to the issue would compare Tay Valley with three townships that benefit from Ottawa’s immense construction outreach.

The intrusion into municipal policy-making and management has been defended with the statement that an MPP has the right and obligation to advise on provincial programs. What has gone on has exceeded any advisory mandate - if in fact there is one – by the pattern of approaches over the past 10 months to township council and staff. One can only imagine what the reaction would be if federal MPs made similar approaches to meetings of MPPs to “advise” them on, say, management of the health care program.

Our understanding is that the community votes for MPPs to represent us at Queen’s Park, and we elect municipal councillors to represent us in this township. From our vantage point, that is not what has been happening here.

of trying to hold onto Lex. She’d be in the lake too!

It’s our first time leaving her (aside from at the vet when she was spayed) so I’m sure I’ll be making a few phone calls or emailing just to ensure she’s cool.

In the meantime, we’ll pick her up after we’ve stayed in Kingston a few days, and then we’ll be at a cottage for a week. There are trails to explore, books to be read, some fish to catch, sunrises to enjoy and sunsets to chase.

As for Lexi during this adventure, we wanted to have her with us as a flower girl and all that, but she’d probably be in the lake before we said our vows. So she will be having some fun at a kennel, with her obedience trainer. (Maybe she’ll come back with better manners – like NO barking and NO jumping! I’m hopeful.) She seems cool with the kennel as we went for a visit a week ago, and now she has some new friends. She didn’t want to leave, so I know she’ll be having fun And when I come back to reality while we miss her like crazy. on Oct. 23, I will still be me – but beMom is our only invited guest, and hind the scenes I will enjoy being Mrs. I didn’t want her to go to the trouble Sweet Baby.

Town should stick to colour palette standards to maintain heritage feel DEAR EDITOR:

(Re: Front façade flap over the colour purple on Foster Street in Perth, Perth Courier, Sept. 7.)

The recent discussions about the Town of Perth enforcing its longstanding heritage colour palette policy has demonstrated a lack of awareness of the great effort that was required to create Heritage Perth, and the continued effort that is necessary to maintain it. Perth was chosen as the first Main Street demonstration project in the early 1980s by the Heritage Canada Foundation (now known as the National Trust for Canada).

Although Perth had several historic properties, until the Main Street project Perth did not project anything like its current heritage look and feel.

Perth’s Main Street project has been used as a case study of community revitalization and is held up as an example across Canada and internationally.

Businesses located in Perth’s heritage district benefit tremendously from the decades of work that built the Heritage Perth image, and have a re-

For those who are uncomfortable with the downtown standards there are many commercial zones in Perth outside the heritage district where businesses can operate without the heritage-related restrictions (though they will be subject to other types of restrictions associated with each location).

and consulting in historic preservation and rural community development I have heard many compliments about the exemplary Main Street project in Perth. For example, I was invited to Bermuda to facilitate discussions about the relevance of lessons from Perth for collaboration between Bermuda College and a foundation for historic preservation there. No one has ever suggested to me that Perth would be better off if it abandoned its heritage preservation guidelines.

In contrast, several communities that declined to undertake their own Main Street restoration program are now facing significant reduction in commercial activity in their downtown core. Rather than relaxing the heritage district standards, as some have recently suggested, I would strongly recommend that the Town of Perth expand its incentives and enforcement of the standards that have made Heritage Perth such a remarkable place to live, work, and do business.

Looking at the story of the area’s one room schools at Historical Society Important: Please note that this month’s meeting will be on the second Thursday – October 12, 2017.

One room schools, an element of the past.

A school where students shared the classroom with all ages and where the teacher taught all grades and classes. It could be a case where every student was first in his or her class, and at the same time was last in that class. A school where, especially in earlier days, there was no electricity or plumbing. Also, where the first to school in the morning would be expected to start the fire in a stove to heat the room. However, despite the conditions, there were great teachers and successful students. These one room schools, which are the topic for our October 2017 meeting, were the beginnings of our modern educational system.

By the 1960s, most of these rural schools had been closed in favour of central schools. As the years went by, it became apparent that the stories of all these country schools were becoming lost. So, in 2005, a group of six Archives Lanark members recognised the need to preserve the stories of these schools of Lanark County.

They formed a Volunteer Group to research, collect and record these histories and then undertook the task of publishing a series of books.

Since starting this project, the Volunteer Group has published “One Room Rural School” books. Covered to date: Darling and Lavant Townships; Beckwith Township; Dalhousie Township; Drummond/North Elmsley Township; Lanark Township; Pakenham Township; Ramsay Township; and in 2017 published “The One Room Rural Schools of Montague Township.” Works in progress are: The Townships of North and South Sherbrooke; Bathurst Town-

ship; and North Burgess Township. As a point of interest, some of the versions of these books have proved popular and have sold out.

Frances Rathwell, our speaker for this month, is a member of this Volunteer Group, and is also a member of our Society’s Operating Committee. She was born in Almonte and moved to Perth with her parents and older brother when she was one. She received her education at Stewart School and the Perth and District Collegiate Institute. In 1967 she moved to Ottawa to start her working career in graphic design, returning to Perth in 2002. Since then, she has been a volunteer with the Perth & District Historical Society as a committee member, has volunteered at a local nursing home teaching residents to use the internet, and taught basic computer skills at the public library. She has served as Public Relations Officer, Vice President, President and Treasurer for the Lanark County Genealogical Society. Frances has also served four times as Archives Lanark Chair.

The Perth and District Historical Society is dedicated to learning about and popularising our history. It is a forum for discussion and celebration of our area’s rich culture and heritage.

The meetings are open to the public, usually on the third Thursday of each month, at 7:30 pm at the Royal Canadian Legion, Perth-Upon-Tay, Branch 244, home of the Hall of Remembrance, 26 Beckwith St. E. in Perth. The usual “Toonie Fee” applies for each meeting. For information, contact Ellen Dean at 613-264-8362 or David Taylor at 613-264-0094.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 You have a specific goal in mind and a plan to accomplish it, Taurus. What you may not have counted on are the little obstacles that tend to pop up. Take them one by one.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Some exciting news is coming your way, Virgo. Just be patient for a little longer because it will be well worth it to hear what others can’t wait to tell you.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you prefer to do things in the most direct manner possible.

However, you may have to take a roundabout route in the next few days to complete a particular project.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 You might get a kick out of beating someone at their own game, Gemini. Just make sure you keep things lighthearted and that others are not slighted by your efforts.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, a busy week means it’s necessary to minimize distractions. This will help you get to the bottom of a problem much quicker. A time to relax is on the horizon.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Go out sometime this week and enjoy some conversation and fun with friends or coworkers, Aquarius. Soon enough you may not have much time for social engagements.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, someone you love is far away and you are trying every way possible to close the distance. An impromptu trip to reconnect may be in order.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Even though you can’t pinpoint it directly, Scorpio, you can tell something is going on that has been kept from you. Someone you thought was a friend may not be.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 It is easy for you to keep other people’s secrets, Pisces. Work on keeping some of your own concerns closer to the vest.

Routine maintenance, what is needed and what might not be: Car Counsellor A few weeks back, CBC’s Marketplace television show did a segment on dealership service departments that was less than flattering. But, first, some disclosure; I have spent the majority of my career working in the parts and service departments of authorized dealerships and continue to do so to this day.

In case you missed this episode, it involved a consumer taking her new-to-her 10-year-old Honda Civic into an authorized Toronto dealership for a routine service inspection.

The vehicle received a thorough precheck from an independent licensed technician, who gave it a clean bill of health with the exception of the need to replace the wiper blades and rotate the tires. CBC’s volunteer consumer then recorded exactly what the dealership’s service consultant recommended after completing a general ‘peace of mind’ inspection. As you might suspect (because it was the subject of a consumer affairs program), the service adviser suggested maintenance and repairs that the indie tech never thought was needed in the first place. They suggested the need to replace the rear brake shoes and drums, along with a brake fluid flush. In another example, a CBC employee took his 2013 Jeep Wrangler into another Toronto dealership with less than 10,000 kilometres on and received a full page of recommended maintenance items, including spark plug replacement, air filter, fluid changes — and the list went on.

The whole gist of the exercise was to point out the differences between what certain dealership service de-

partments recommend for maintenance and what the factory owner’s manuals actually list. This issue is a main point of contention between vehicle owners and their selling dealerships, and causes more grief than almost anything else in the industry. On one side, yes, there are dealerships that upsell (recommend additional services) to the point of fraud; and on the other side, there are vehicle manufacturers that grossly understate their products’ needs for routine servicing, to the point that they actually cause their customers more time and money.

As an example, many vehicles today use platinum-tipped spark plugs that have a reliable lifespan of up to 160,000 kilometres. Great, you might say; but, if you bring an eightyear-old vehicle to your tech with 160,000 kilometres on and ask for a spark plug replacement, the odds of getting them all out (no matter how carefully a tech might try) without breaking one are extremely low. This will lead to additional labour costs, and in some circumstances, the need to replace a cylinder head at a very high cost. Only a few carmakers got smart and recommended that these plugs be inspected at 50,000-kilometre intervals — even when they’re designed to last three times that distance — because a proper inspection would mean they’d be removed, reducing the risk of them being seized and breaking when replacement time rolled around.

When it comes to fluid replacements (another item brought up in the Marketplace piece), remember

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

that automakers like to protect their own interests. If they list a transmission, for example, as having lifetime fluid (meaning no changes ever), in reality that’s for the life that the carmaker is responsible for under the terms of the warranty and not necessarily the consumers’ expectations. And, as I’ve written many times before, having your engine’s oil changed only once a year or less

means that no qualified tech will ever have a regular and timely look under the hood or under the vehicle to check for critical items that you may never know are faulty, until they break completely and leave you stranded on the side of the road — or worse.

The answer: take the time to build a good working relationship with your automotive service provider and (as Marketplace suggests) learn the details of your vehicle’s maintenance schedule by taking the few minutes needed to review your owner’s manual. Then, if your shop is suggesting something you don’t find in that book, ask questions and have the shop point out the benefits of completing that work or if it can be put off to a later date. After all,

carmakers know that flashy styling and great performance is what it takes to sell their products, but good service providers know that excellent customer service and fair prices will keep you coming back.

If you have any questions, opinions or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line (by email to bjoeturner@hotmail.com listing ‘Question for the Car Counsellor’ on the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 65 Lorne St., P.O. Box 158, Smiths Falls, Ont., K7A 4T1). When using regular mail, please supply a phone number if you seek direct contact (due to volume, I can’t always promise replies).

Yours in service Brian Turner

Dear friend of Eileen Burke, special grandpa to Aliena, Isiash and Lillie.

God Bless.

HOLLOWAY Richard Charles

Born in 1938 in Mombasa, Kenya, Richard led a charmed childhood with his parents and two siblings sailing dinghies in Mombasa Harbour and on the reef in the Indian Ocean. He attended Duke of York school in Nairobi for 4 years and later surveyed the country with the Kenya Survey Department. In his early twenties, he left for London and studied at the Hammersmith School of Engineering then came to Toronto in 1966. Qualifying as a Professional Engineer in Ontario, he practiced in Toronto as a structural engineer at two major companies and then on his own, designing First Canadian Place and Mount Sinai Hospital among many other major structures. He then became expert in the design of tower cranes used to build tall buildings. On a blind date in Toronto, he met the love of his life Peggy Dinsmore, and after eleven years of marriage they found their beautiful daughter Adia, the “gift” of their life together, and the apple of her father’s eye. Sailing boats (big and small) was Richard’s passion. He raced and cruised 40+ foot yachts through the Great Lakes for years in between avidly running (including two marathons) and playing squash. After twenty years in Toronto, Richard, Peggy and 2-year-old Adia set out for a four-year adventure in Kenya - providing many more happy hours with friends and sailing at the Mombasa Yacht Club. Returning to Merrickville, he took a new work direction designing airport approach light towers with Millard Towers. He was very proud of and well respected for his engineering expertise and innovation. Richard’s new consuming interests became swimming and riding horses with Adia, and golfing with friends, enjoying many years at the Smiths Falls Golf and Country Club. Throughout it all, he was a tireless reader with complete collections of Louis L’Amour and many other authors including most of the many science fiction authors. Richard passed away peacefully at home a few days after his and Peggy’s 45th wedding anniversary. Richard was a devoted father, husband and friend to many and is fondly remembered as an intelligent, disciplined, quiet, thoughtful, generous and honest gentleman: an example to us all. He is survived by Peggy, daughter Adia Holloway (Shawn McEwen), beloved grandchildren Ashton & Brooklyn Lake and Carter & Emma McEwen, brother David in England, sister Marion Magee in Winnipeg, respected brothers-in law Jim Dinsmore (Roseanne) and Ted Dinsmore (Joey Gerritse) and many nephews (notably a special relationship with Gord Magee) and nieces in Canada and England. A celebration of life for Richard will be held on October 22nd, between 1–4 pm at the Smiths Falls Golf & Country Club. You are invited to drop in and join his family and friends in remembering and honouring him.

A Heartfelt Thank-You From The Family Of Nancy Campbell It is never easy to lose someone that you love deeply, but it is made more difficult when it is before their time and from something like Cancer.

The first person the family would like to thank is Nancy herself. It is not an easy battle to take on Cancer, but Nancy did it with strength, dignity and grace. Through her courageous battle it was her strength to beat it that pushed the rest of her family to continue in the fight with her. Nancy was the kindest of people and touched the heart in all those who had the pleasure to know her. The loving, kind and thoughtful person she was will live on in the memories of all those who knew her. In this difficult time the reassurance that she will be remembered fondly is comforting.

The family would like to sincerely thank: The staff at KGH Cancer Center, the staff at both the Perth and Smiths Falls Hospitals, the many Nurses and Support Workers from Bayshore Home Health Care. As well, a huge Thank-You to the Perth Civitan Club for the medical supplies needed for Nancy at home. We would like to send a special Thank-you to Nancy’s sister Melba Jarvis, Donald’s sisters Faye Mason & Judy (Grant) Gawley as well to family friend Colleen Shwetz (Family), for their continuous love and support from making meals, lifting spirits and just being there when we needed someone to listen. Your thoughtfulness will never be forgotten.

To the remaining family, friends and neighbors who visited, send cards and well wishes, your kindness meant a lot to Nancy and will never be forgotten. Thank-you to the staff at Blair and Son Funeral Home in helping us navigate through this difficult time. You were all very professional, assuring and comforting.

All Our Thanks From, Husband, Donald Campbell, Nancy’s Children and Grandchildren

Hi My Manno, I just looked at the calendar it says it’s been a year but Manno that can’t be, it feels like just yesterday. When someone took you home, someone loved you more than people left behind… We all know who that was.

My darling Manno you meant so much to everyone who knew you.

God blessed you with so many gifts, your art no matter what you put your hand to, especially your photography. But the greatest gift God blessed you with was your love, understanding and sense of family.

You were a Godsent to me and loved me so much as I do you. But more than that you were an amazing Husband, Dad, Grandfather, Son, Brother, Brother-inlaw, Uncle, Great Uncle, and Friend.

There are so many things that everyone misses about you, I know I miss everything.

But the things our children and grandchildren will miss is your way to listen, and sense of simple adventure. From looking at toadstools and imagining a family living under them, or going for a walk down the path even though you knew it was going to rain or sitting in a hammock at the cabin.

But the one thing I miss the most is your laughter, yes even your stupid jokes.

One thing God didn’t bless you with is organization, and you can see by our garage and basement.

Now Manno I have to stay here for now, in case you forgot we have a big family.

I need them and they need me, including Cooper and Barney.

The one thing that has given me solace over the last few months is knowing your soul is finally at peace.

There is so much more I would like to tell everyone about you but it would be the biggest book ever written. Hey Manno there is an idea, maybe Caroline could help me get it published.

On that glorious wonderful day when we meet again, best be warning them in Heaven that there will be a lot of old time Rock and Roll.

Now please promise me Manno you won’t forget your slippery shoes.

Love you so much My Manno, From the women who is so blessed to be called Mrs. Sandra McParlan.

Thanks for choosing me.

Top finishes for Canada’s aerobic gymnastics national team athletes Seventeen athletes from Saltos Athletics in Perth represented Canada at the International Aerobic Gymnastics Championships in Phoenix, Ariz., from July 27 to Aug. 4, recording several top-10 finishes and personal bests.

Sixteen countries with strong and competitive delegations were in attendance, including China, Japan, Australia, Mexico and Argentina.

Canada’s delegation consisted of the 17 Saltos athletes, as well as 27 other team members from Hamilton World Class Gymnastics and Brantford Gymnastics Academy.

“Aerobic gymnastics is a discipline that involves dynamic aerobic movement, gymnastics tumbling, jumps, holds, pushups and flexibility elements done to music,” explained Saltos coach Louise Miller. “Routines are 1:15 to 1:35 minutes in length and are expected to be nonstop, high-energy demonstrations. Athletes are judged on their artistic, execution and difficulty values by a panel of 12 judges.”

Madelyne Neil of Lombardy — a longtime Saltos veteran athlete, team leader and fourtime international championship competitor — competed for the first time in the senior individual women category, placing well and achieving personal best scores. She is now attending Algonquin College in Ottawa for occupational and physiotherapy assistant.

Romy Hansen of Perth, Tessa O'Collin of Lombardy, Bailey Whiting of Perth, Ashley Jordan of Glen Tay and Emily Mulville of Glen Tay competed in the age group two (15 to 17 years) category, with great finishes in the division and some personal best execution performances.

Neil, Hansen, O'Collin, Whiting, Jordan and Mulville also competed in the varsity aerodance

group division. They narrowly missed the finals, placing eighth in one of the newest divisions to aerobic gymnastics.

Jenna Neil of Lombardy, Olivia Merpaw of Smiths Falls, Grace Lockett of Lombardy, Sophie Ball of Perth, Rylin Kilpatrick of Perth and Isobel Gray of Perth all represented as individual women in the age group one (12 to 14 years) category, with over 45 athletes in that group.

Jenna Neil qualified for finals and had a personal best performance, placing 11th, with an impressive personal best score of 17.950. Lockett, Neil and Ball also represented in the age group one trio division, placing eighth in the category.

Penelope Patterson of Perth, Lera Horsfall of Portland, Katie Hustins of Smiths Falls, Hannah Graham of Perth and Lila Allen of Perth all represented individually in the junior showcase (nine to 11 years) individual women category. Patterson and Horsfall both qualified for finals and placed fifth and 13th, respectively, overall out of more than 45 competitors.

Kilpatrick, Patterson, Horsfall, Hustins, Graham and Allen also represented as a group in the junior aeroance division, placing eighth as well.

“The Saltos team represented Canada once again with pride, gaining knowledge in their sport and showing other countries what it’s like to be Canadian,” Miller said. “Congratulations to all our athletes and a big thank you to all of our supporters.”

Saltos Athletics celebrated its 20th anniversary this year. The club hosted numerous events and fundraisers throughout the year to support the athletes competing in Phoenix.

Both Perth high school football teams lost on Friday, Sept. 29 – and both to teams with the call letters ADHS. Perth and District Collegiate Institute played host to the Arnprior District High School boys football team, but were behind by 36-0 before finally trying to surge back to put eight points on the board. However, the revival came too late in the game, with the final score coming down at 36-0 with Arnprior triumphant on the road.

Perth’s other team was on the road, but that did not put the wind in the sails of Saint John Catholic High School, who were defeated by Almonte and District High School 21-14.
