News – A Conservative MP is taking Mayor John Fenik to task for criticism of the anti-porn banner that will be strung over Foster Street later this month. Joy Smith, the Conservative MP for the Manitoba riding of Kildonan-St. Paul, will be speaking out on pornography and human trafﬁcking during a speech at Perth and District Collegiate Institute today (Thursday, Oct. 9), starting at 7 p.m. During a town council meeting on Sept. 23, Fenik called the banner “terrible,” but Smith said she wanted to “disagree with the mayor on that. This is not showing leadership in any way, shape, or form. I’m sorry he has this sensitivity. It’s the victims who have gone to hell and back. I would love for the mayor to come out” to the event, she said. Fenik also stressed his belief that the Be Aware campaign, which is made up of an inter-faith alliance of area churches, touched on the debate over the separation of church and state. “When you start delving into spiritual beliefs, I am not sure it is the direction to go,” said Fenik last month. Further to this, “when we get behind one particular group… we run the risk of alienating other groups.” To this, Smith could not hold her incredulity back: “Oh, come on,” she said. “He needs to be a little bolder… I’m sure he means well (but) I strongly dis-

agree. That sign should be up there.” Smith came to this issue through her son, who as an officer with the Brandon Police Service, now a member of the RCMP, joined the Integrated Child Exploitation Unit. She saw the effect the job had on him. “He changed very much,” she said, his hair going from dark black to grey quickly. “I started working with the victims.” At the time, “I didn’t want to talk about it.” Her first case was a girl who had been held captive in a farmhouse in Saskatchewan, and the horror stories do not end there. Later on this month, to underscore that human trafficking does indeed occur within Canada, she will bring to attention the story of a young woman from a small town in Ontario, whose grandfather had groomed her and then put her out on to the street as a prostitute – all without her parents’ knowledge. So what does human trafficking have to do with the manufacture and dissemination of pornography? For Smith, the connection is very, very real. “People don’t realize what is really going on,” she said, on the phone from her Ottawa office on Parliament Hill. “It’s not the Playboy type (of pornography.) It’s often terrible violence against women,” which is then used to train victims of human trafficking on the correct way to act, “to condition and train them See PORN page P2

It could be the ultimate recycling project.” While a specific goal hasn’t been earmarked, Voakes said he’d be pleased if the book fair earned in the area of $9,000 and hopes it becomes an annual event. “...That would be a dollar for every person in the Town of Smiths Falls and there’s got to be at least a dollar a person worth of book lovers in this town,” he said. “If we exceed that

Youth Centres Canada, along with their member organization, the Smiths Falls and District Club for Youth (SFDCY), are putting the finishing touches on the Youth Centres Canada Book Fair Oct. 17 to 19 at the County Fair Mall in Smiths Falls. This week, volunteers are busy organizing the more than 25,000 books that will be available. Above, from left: Jessica Gillam, child and youth worker with the SFDCY; volunteer Charlotte Leaver; SFDCY program co-ordinator Kelsi Leaver; and Youth Centres Canada executive director, Les Voakes. play during the sale. The concept for the new fundraising strategy came from Kemptville Youth Centre (KYC) executive director Robin Heald. Earlier this year, KYC was gifted with the North Grenville Book Fair, previously organized by the Friends of the North Grenville Public Library and Community Living North Grenville. Renamed the Country Walk Book Fair, it was held Sept. 5 to 7 at the Ferguson Forest Centre and raised $13,000 for the youth centre. With some 45,000 books available at the sale, Heald wanted to ensure the

leftover tomes are put to good use so she connected with Voakes and pitched her plan. “They (KYC) wanted to help other youth centres do this and called me before they even held their book fair,” Voakes explained. “They deserve a great deal of credit with having thought of this.” And he said he already has 15 other centres who are interested in hosting their own book fairs. “As soon as we get the fair established here, we’ll set up new roots in other areas. That’s the part that’s really

Community – Book lovers and bargain hunters take note: there will be plenty of both at the inaugural Youth Centres Canada (YCC) Book Fair Oct. 17 to 19 at the County Fair Mall in Smiths Falls. More than 25,000 books of all sorts of genres, including fiction, non-fiction, cooking, romance and more will be up for grabs in the sale, which will benefit the Smiths Falls and District Centre for Youth. According to YCC executive director Les Voakes, this sale is the first in a series of travelling book fairs to benefit youth centres throughout eastern Ontario, designed to raise funds to send members to YCC’s annual national conference each year. “Registration covers food and hotel, meals and books. It’s a fair chunk of money, $550 to $600 per person on top of travel, to go to the conference,” he explained during an interview at the book fair site on Monday. “We have kids coming from all across the country and it could cost up to $1,500 to $1,600 each. Last year, we had four youth come from Inuvik and it was $6,000 just for the travel.” “...This is our maiden voyage for our new book fair system,” Voakes added. The sale will be held in the former Reitmans location in the mall and will be open during mall hours Oct. 17 to 19 (10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday); however a special launch will take place Thursday, Oct. 16 from 4 to 7 p.m. This will give supporters an advance look at the book selection and enjoy live music. “We will have regular draws for door prizes, where people will get a ticket when they come in, but they have to be here to get the prize,” Voakes said. “It’s an incentive to linger and really look through the books.” Voakes had a team on hand Monday afternoon trucking the books from Kemptville to Smiths Falls and setting up for the fair. He couldn’t say enough about the support of County Fair Mall staff. “They’re giving us this space for about three weeks, to set up and have the fair and then we’ll pack up and move out. They’ve been just fantastic. I can’t tell you how helpful they’ve been and how supportive,” he remarked. The community has also gotten behind the initiative. “We’ve gotten phenomenal support. It’s (book fair) the simplest thing in the world for us to do. People are saying this is what we want and I haven’t had a youth centre say it isn’t a great idea. They all want to do it,” Voakes stated. Books will be available for $2 each and on the last day, Oct. 19, the price will be cut down to $1. “Most of these books are in excellent condition and are gently used or barely used,” Voakes said, noting that those in less than perfect condition will be bundled up and sold at a special deal. Art done by area youth will also be on dis-

($9,000), I’d be ecstatic.” The Smiths Falls District Club for Youth still welcomes gently used book donations right through the sale, as they can use them for future book fairs. Table sponsorship from local businesses and organization is also available and youth are also needed to volunteer their time. To donate, sponsor or volunteer for the Youth Centres Canada Book Fair, call the Smiths Falls and District Centre for Youth at 613-284-1784 or contact Voakes at 613-284-7930 or director@ youthcentrescanada.com.

Archambault selected as Liberal candidate for new local riding

If you think about it, growing older is a part of living that really is a privilege...just think about those you have known who will never get an opportunity to do so. What concerns many people as they grow older is growing old with dignity and grace, meaning remaining independent and being able to stay in their own communities, in their own homes. A lot of being able to do this depends on how you feel. How you will feel as you grow older depends on many things, a lot of which are out of your control. As your body ages, it does change: metabolism slows down; sleep patterns change; vison changes occur meaning glasses; some may have hearing loss; and, bone aging can mean that your bones will be less resilient and more prone to injury. And then there are those wrinkles that so many companies tell you they can diminish with their expensive products!

Tara Gesner/METROLAND

The Lanark, Frontenac, Kingston Federal Liberal Association elected Philippe Archambault, above, as the next Liberal candidate in the new riding of Lanark, Frontenac, Kingston. Archambault beat out Phil Somers. Below, the crowd gathered to hear the votes read at the Perth Civitan hall during a meeting chaired by former Speaker of the House of Commons, Peter Milliken.

News – Liberals gathered at two locations in the riding on Oct. 5 to choose the new Liberal candidate for the new riding of Lanark, Frontenac, Kingston. In Sydenham and then in Perth at the Civitan hall, former Speaker of the House of Commons, Peter Milliken chaired a meeting where both candidates spoke and hundreds cast votes. Philippe (Phil) Archambault was chosen to be the next federal Liberal candidate after ballots were counted at the Civitan hall, just after 5 p.m. John Fenik, mayor of Perth, nominated Archambault saying that he is the best kind of politician – listening carefully and learning all he can, putting the needs of others before his own, and acting courageously. In his speech, Archambault emphasized that we will need to work together to make progress on issues in this riding: employment opportunities, housing and health care initiatives, support for elders at home, and protecting our environment while creating opportunities for our young people. In his acceptance speech, he congratulated Phil Somers and his team for a hard-fought campaign. Archambault also thanked his team and supporters and invited all to become one team to work hard to win in 2015. For more information about Archambault, visit his website at www.philippearchambault.ca. Submitted by the Lanark, Frontenac, Kingston Federal Liberal Association.

Rural, isolated, frail or at risk seniors get more help in North Lanark

Community – Dan Boudrealt of Carleton Place returned from two tours of duty in Afghanistan; one in 2005, the second in 2007. It was at that time when he developed Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and qualified for a service dog, Bubba. Boudrealt trained Bubba, the now six-year-old Labrador retriever, from a pup. He says the dog helps him desensitize to the trauma he faced overseas. Boudrealt attended the Brett Pearson Run for Your Life in Carleton Place on Sept. 27, an event where half the proceeds were donated to the Military Family Resource Centre, the other to the Carleton Place Drug Strategy Committee.

By working in collaboration with other health professionals, geriatric partners, community agencies and the Community Care Access Centre, we are able to reduce the number of emergency room visits, prevent hospital admissions and reduce isolation. Vulnerable seniors with complex needs face multiple challenges, frequently requiring an intense and integrated service response to enable the senior to live at home safely. Services include response to immediate needs, monitoring and support for care plans, individual health information, advice and education, screening for environmental/safety risks and mobilization. Cullen shares that older adults “might be living in isolation or have little care or support, they may have challenges accessing or maintaining a relationship with their primary care provider or they may have no or limited support services in place.” These are the seniors who resort to calling 911 or presenting at the emergency department, sometimes unnecessarily. Primary care outreach to frail seniors will have a crucial role in care co-ordination, acting as a gateway to more acute or specialized health care services. “I think the hardest part will be getting our ‘foot in the door’ and I expect that it will take time to build a trusting relationship with many of the seniors,” McHard said. Cullen and McHard are available to do a brief presentation or meet with any seniors group or agency. The program is offered at no cost to the senior. Referrals are accepted from any source, including self-referral for eligible seniors aged 65 and older, who

News – The Primary Care Outreach Program to Seniors is a new program being offered through the North Lanark Community Health Centre (NLCHC) starting in October 2014. This program has provided support to vulnerable frail seniors with complex care needs living at home with or without supports since 2008 in Ottawa. The official program launch will take place at the NLCHC on Tuesday, Oct. 28 from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. All members of the community are welcome to attend to help launch this new program. According to Jane Coyle, director of health services at the NLCHC, “The primary care outreach team works in collaboration with other health professionals to support high risk seniors in leading healthy and independent lives in their own homes and we are thrilled to offer this new service in north Lanark.” The program is delivered by a registered nurse Meredith Cullen, who is responsible for early intervention, assessment and monitoring. She will support the implementation of care plans as established by the clients’ primary care provider. Joellen McHard, community health worker, works with the registered nurse by linking people with supports and services in the community. “Most seniors want to remain in their home as long as possible,” said McHard, “and we want to help them do that safely by providing support, information and health care at home.” “We aim to help seniors maintain their health and independence so they can continue to do the things they like to do and also so we can reduce the number of emergency visits, hospital and long term care admissions,” added Cullen.

Blue-green algae spotted on Mississippi and Dalhousie Lakes News – Recent warm summer weather and low wind conditions combined to create unusual algae blooms on Dalhousie and Mississippi Lakes this September. The Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) has tested the water and confirmed a blue-green algae growth in both lakes. Waterfront owners and recreational users are advised by the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) not to swim in or use the lake water for drinking or bathing until given the okay by the local health unit. Many different species of algae (plant-like organisms) naturally inhabit our waterways. An over abundance of sunshine, warmth, and nutrients all of which promote algae growth can result in a bloom. When individual algae within the bloom start to die off, the release of chemicals from within their cells can cause toxic conditions in the water. The most harmful come from

blue-green algae. Reports from both lakes indicate that the blooms are dissipating causing murky conditions both in the lake and downstream. However, once the bloom has passed, the toxic results from its decomposition may remain in the water. Ontario.ca provides the following advice on identifying and reacting to bluegreen algae: • Blooms most commonly occur in late summer and early fall. They thrive in areas where the water is shallow, slow moving and warm, but they may be present in deeper, cooler water. • Dense blue-green algae blooms may make the water look bluish-green like green pea soup or turquoise paint. Very dense blooms may form solid-looking clumps. • If you spot it take a cautious approach, as some varieties of this algae can produce toxins that are harmful to both humans and animals.

test the water and share the results with the local health unit. The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit will then issue drinking and/or swimming advisories to the affected landowners if necessary.

Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority announced this week that bluegreen algae has been spotted on both Mississippi and Dalhousie Lakes. Left, algae on Mississippi Lake.

What does MVCA do with the information? Reporting to MVCA helps keep staff informed of lake conditions. MVCA has an extensive lake monitoring program. Tracking the extent, duration and recurrences of bloom events helps identify areas for promoting good shoreline nutrient management practices. You can report potential blooms directly to staff or register online at citizenwaterwatch.ca a central database for algal blooms or excessive aquatic plant growth observations in lakes and rivers of eastern Ontario.

• Avoid using, drinking, bathing or swimming in the water (call your local health unit for swimming advisories). • Restrict pet and livestock access to the water. • Home treatment systems may not remove toxins and can get easily overwhelmed or clogged, so they should not be relied on. Do not boil the water, or

manually treat the water with chlorine or other disinfectants, as this could increase the toxin levels. Who do I tell about a potential bloom? If you spot a potential algae bloom, contact the MOECC Spill Action Hotline 1-800-268-6060. The MOECC will then

County to apply to FIT program Council has approved a motion authorizing staff to submit applications for

the Ontario Power Authority Feed-In-Tariff (FIT) Solar Program, partnering with Drummond/North Elmsley Township and any other local municipality that expresses a letter of interest before Jan. 1. The application would involve municipal property, with the potential end result being a 20-year contract with OPA to supply solar power to the electrical grid. Chief administrative officer Kurt Greaves reported to the corporate services committee last week that the application is an opportunity for the county to be fiscally prudent and creative at a time when municipal governments face increasing financial pressure and provincial regulation and responsibility. FIT applications featuring partnerships receive a higher chance of approval, he said, and municipal ownership of the projects could mitigate future property tax hikes. It also aligns with the county’s official plan theme related to developing local renewable energy sources. Any approved applications would come back

to council before proceeding. Upcoming meetings County council, Wednesday, Oct. 8, 5 p.m.; community services, Oct. 8 (following county council); and corporate services, Oct. 8 (following community services).

foundation, but adjusted the pick-up schedule. It also showed an opportunity to reduce organic waste from table scraps and incontinence products. Maceration (dewatering) equipment is to be installed in the main kitchen before the end of this year and could reduce this waste by up to 80 per cent with an option to compost on-site or dispose waste as macerated/ dewatered materials. Based on improved recycling and waste diversion, a new contract was negotiated by MASS for the lodge for waste disposal, resulting in a net savings of more than $26,000 so far this year. Director Deborah Pidgeon said the introduction of the maceration equipment will lead to further savings as less waste goes to landfill. Councillors congratulated Pidgeon and staff for their efforts to implement the waste management initiatives.

News – The following are highlights from the special Lanark County council meeting held Wednesday, Sept. 24 at the county administration building in Perth. Council has approved a global positioning system policy to ensure employees, employers and contractors are made aware of the functions, benefits and responsibilities associated with the devices as their use expands. The county has been adding GPS units to its fleet of public works vehicles for the past few years. Chief administrative officer Kurt Greaves explained to the corporate services committee last week the units were introduced for several reasons, such as to enhance employee safety, reduce liability and increase efficiencies in operations. The policy outlines the type of data collected, such as real-time records of vehicle location, speed and direction; engagement of plows and seat belts and more. Employee safety is an important feature of the system, as the GPS can be used to locate employees if a concern is raised. Information can also be used for training purposes and to develop safe driving techniques, to protect employees and the county when claims are made, to obtain vehicle data for maintenance purposes, and to locate, dispatch and route employees to job locations to help decrease response times and fuel usage, which enhances service. Greaves explained county management will not be continuously monitoring the GPS information, but can access it as needs arise. The new policy takes effect Nov. 1.

COMMENTARY

Seatbelts save lives

his space in last week’s edition was used to reinforce the value of smoke alarms in advance of Fire Prevention Week. It is surprising that many people still consider them to be more of an inconvenience than a potentially life-saving device. The same can be said for seatbelts. According to the Ministry of Transportation, recent stats indicate that 96 per cent of Ontarians buckle up regularly; that leaves about half a million people who do not. As OPP Chief Superintendent Chuck Cox stated in a release, the single-most effective method of preventing serious injuries and deaths in motor vehicle collisions is to wear a seatbelt. The stats show that someone who is in a crash and is not buckled up is 36 times more likely to be killed. Using the right child car seat or booster seat is also essential; car crashes are the leading cause of death for children in Canada. Ontario enacted its one person/one seatbelt requirement 11 years ago, and it’s up to drivers to ensure that all passengers under the age of 16 are properly secured with the appropriate seatbelt or other safety device. Don’t start wearing a seatbelt just because there is an enforcement blitz until Oct. 10 and you want to avoid getting a ticket and demerit points. Buckle up because it’s a sensible thing to do… just like ensuring there are working smoke alarms on every level of your home. Police and ﬁre personnel would probably rather not have to keep delivering the same messages every year when it’s time for the fall seatbelt campaign or ﬁre prevention week, but there are still enough of us out there who apparently aren’t getting the message.

When we arrived on the dot, Marguirite looked like she had just stepped out of a gift box. Her artiﬁcial curls were tight around her head and looked for all the world like little golden sausages. I could have sworn she had on lipstick and a spattering of rouge! Her mother shook hands with us, just like the minister did after church on Sunday and it didn’t take long for her to get us playing games, quiet ones, like snakes and ladders and Chinese checkers and there were prizes for the winners.

Is your child ready for kindergarten? DEAR EDITOR: It is very important that your child be able to speak clearly and ask questions, listen and follow instruction and play appropriately with other children. Ten to 12 per cent of preschool children have speech and language difﬁculties that will make it hard for them to succeed in school and in life. Take a moment to think about your child’s speech and language skills. Can your four-year-old: • Follow instructions with three or more steps?

the only one I knew of which had a dining room...the rest of us ate our meals around old pine tables in our kitchens. There was even a white tablecloth spread out and in the very centre of the table was a cake with candles and in front of each of our plates was a little bag like Mr. Briscoe used to measure out black pepper. A gift for each of us to take home. But before we could have our cake, Marguiriteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother brought in all our presents and put them in front of Marguirite in a heap. My gift seemed to be the biggest in the pile, but I had taken a heart shaped box that had once held chocolates and arranged inside of it a lace hanky Aunt Lizzie had sent me in the hand-me-down box. There was certainly no money for frivolities like expensive birthday presents! Even at that, I hated giving up the little hanky, the only nice one I had with real lace on it. And the box had held

little treasures I had collected, like shiny stones, my own hankie with a few pennies tied in a corner, and hair ribbons I kept for special occasions. And there I was handing over two of my most precious possessions to a girl who did nothing but cause me anguish at the Northcote school! Finally, she was down to my present. My sister Audrey had wrapped it in red tissue paper that had been ironed and which was once wrapped around a Christmas present. Marguirite tore into the parcel, which I thought was very extravagant indeed. We would have re-saved the paper at our house! I could tell she loved the heart shaped box, with the hand-painted face on the top. She lifted the lid and gazed at the lace hanky, which I read immediately as pure delight. She took out the hanky and stared at the inside of the box. Then she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speech-language assessment can identify your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strengths and needs and can help you prepare your child for school. Junior kindergarten-aged children born in 2010 must be referred before Jan. 31, 2015 to receive an assessment and rec-

the chocolates?â&#x20AC;? Her mother quickly held up the hanky and made clucking sounds of approval, while bad Marguirite looked at me as if I had just stolen eggs out of their chicken coop. While the cake was doled out, Marguirite never took her eyes off me and I had the worst urge to ask for both the hanky and the heart shaped box back. And I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait for the party to be over. But before we were all to head home, I decided I was going to get something out of the day besides bad Marguiriteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ill temper, so I went upstairs and used the flush toilet...in fact, I flushed it three or four times and even though the sun was shining in the little window, I snapped the light switch on an off for good measure.

three cows to the sales barn on April 3, including the one with the horns grown into the face. Blair stated the cow was approximately 10-years-old and that he noticed the horns growing into the face approximately two years ago. Blair stated the cow was in good shape and was eating so he thought she was fine. Blair was sentenced to a lifetime prohibition from caring for, living with or owning an animal with the exception of fowl and the dog currently in his possession. He was also ordered to pay a $500 fine. “The Ontario SPCA works closely with agencies like OMAFRA and with our commodity groups like Beef Farmers of Ontario to address concerns for the welfare of animals,” says Steve Toy, senior inspector.

News – There is wide support among candidates running for municipal office across Lanark County that climate change is an urgent issue and that local municipalities can and should address it, according to the results of a survey conducted by the Lanark Climate Action Network (LCAN). L-CAN received responses from 48 of the 112 candidates running in Lanark Highlands, Tay Valley, Perth, Drummond North Elmsley, Carleton Place, Mississippi Mills, Beckwith, Montague and from Smiths Falls. Thirty-seven of the respondents said climate change is an urgent issue. Only one said climate change isn’t an issue at all, either globally or locally. Several said it should be a high priority with one respondent calling climate change “the defining issue of our time.” Many agreed climate change is not only a local environmental issue, but also a local health challenge. Thirty-five respondents agreed Lanark County and its lower-tier municipalities have a role to play in reducing greenhouse gas emissions with 29 agreeing to support the creation of climate advisory committees in their own municipality or at Lanark County. Transition Perth, one of the group of local organizations issuing the survey, offered to host the results on their website at transitionperth.ca. The other endorsers of the L-CAN survey are ecoPerth, Friends of the Tay Watershed Association, Louis Gaudreau (plant manager, OMYA Canada), Lanark County Stewardship Council, Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists, National Farmers Union-Lanark Local 310, Perth and District Federation of University Women, Rideau Environmental Action League (REAL), Paula Stewart (medical officer of health for Leeds, Grenville and Lanark) and The Seventh Generation Initiative.

News – On Sept. 10, James Blair of Westport, pled guilty to five counts of animal cruelty under the Ontario SPCA Act. On April 3, a red/white face beef cow was observed at the Ottawa Livestock Exchange. Once the cow was examined by an Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) appointed veterinarian, it was found that both of the cow’s horns were grown into both sides of its face. The horn on the left side of the head was grown into the orbit of the left eye. The horn on the right side of the head was grown into the soft tissue on the right side of the face. Under the direction of a veterinarian, the cow was humanely euthanized. On April 21, an Ontario SPCA officer and a representative of the Beef Farmers of Ontario (BFO) attended the property of Blair in Westport. Blair admitted to shipping

Country Harvest Music Show on Oct. 19 will feature popular east coast performers Jeff Maguire

Community – There will be a distinctive Maritimes ﬂavor to the sixth annual Country Harvest Music Show in Carleton Place on Sunday, Oct. 19 and local country fans can look forward to another outstanding concert. Headlining the always popular, fall musical extravaganza will be Floyd Spicer and Jo-Ann Newman, both of whom are members of the Nova Scotia Country Music Hall of Fame. Andy Bowes of the Carleton Place band the Bowes Brothers is once again organizing the entertainment for the show which will be staged in the upper hall of the Carleton Place arena complex. It was Bowes who was successful in luring the eastern Canadian duo to central Canada and he couldn’t be more excited. “Floyd and Jo-Ann put on a great show. They perform the songs by all of the top duos in country music history. Porter Wagoner and

Dolly Parton, George Jones and Melba Montgomery – all of the greats.” Spicer has a big family connection to this region. His late brother Gary ‘Spike’ Spicer was also a popular musician who played pedal steel guitar for the award-winning Ottawa band the Family Brown. Bowes struck up a friendship with the brothers based on his admiration of their musical ability. His friendship with Floyd Spicer was cemented during 16 trips to Nova Scotia, including a few visits with his three brothers and their father Clarence. “Most of the time I’ve gone out there on my own. But we have played as a family a few times too. We perform at the Wilf Carter Tribute Show in Canning (Nova Scotia).” Canning was the hometown of the late, great Canadian musician and songwriter Wilf Carter. “They (Floyd and JoAnn) have been so good to me. I stay with them when I’m out there and Floyd

plays in my band. “This time I am returning the favour. They are going to stay with my wife and I while they’re here,” Bowes explains. “People are going to love them. Before they got married Jo-Ann sang in a duo with her sister. They have performed at the Grand Ole Opry (in Nashville).” Bowes counts the Spicer brothers among his mentors. “Spike did a lot to help get my career off the ground and Floyd has been so helpful over the years. I owe so much to both of them.” The upcoming Carleton Place venture is one of the most anticipated musical events of the year in Lanark County and west Ottawa. The show starts at 7 p.m. and the ticket price remains unchanged at $15 per person. The event is licenced and snacks will be available beforehand and during intermission.

has not performed solo in the Country Harvest Music Show. But Carleton Place promoter Bob White, the driving force behind the show since its inception in 2009, says that situation will be rectiﬁed Oct. 19. “Ed Bowes, the oldest of the four brothers, will be performing this year. He is the song writer for the band. I know those who attend that night are in for a real treat,” White says. Andy is delighted to have the opportunity to perform with his oldest brother. “I really look up to him and it will be fun to sing harmony with Ed during this year’s show.” Also joining the lineup is Stittsville performer Gord Barnes who is highly regarded in Ottawa Valley country music circles and Harry Adrain of Perth who is well-known across Lanark County. Adrain is particularly admired for covering songs by the late American country star Solo performance Buck Owens. Adrain’s To date only one mem- daughter Cheryl was part of ber of the Bowes Brothers last year’s sold-out Carle-

ton Place show. “Gord does all the great country classics. He is very talented,” Bowes says. “As for Harry (Adrain) – well, you can’t go wrong with Harry in your show. Everyone likes his music. It will be an honour to play with him,” Bowes stresses. Andy’s brother John will once again handle sound for the production. Almonte’s Charlie Kitts, a member of the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame, returns as master of ceremonies. Kitts, who was inducted into the hall as a builder in 2010, is one of the most popular emcees in the district. For the first five years of the Country Harvest Music Show proceeds went to the Carleton Place Town Hall Auditorium Restoration Fund. “We raised $15,000 in five years for the auditorium,” says White, noting town council matches every dollar raised. “So that means $30,000 in five years for improvements to the au-

ditorium. “This year we (organizing committee) decided to change things. The proceeds will go to the Carleton Place Arena Building Fund.” White, who is the senior facilities operator at the arena (he works for the Carleton Place Department of Recreation and Culture), says the proﬁts will be used to upgrade the public washrooms in Arena 1. There are two ice surfaces at the community centre complex and the ﬁrst (Arena 1) dates from 1969. An added attraction at the annual Carleton Place ven-

ture is the House Band which once again is comprised of outstanding talent from across the district. Andy Bowes will play bass and perform a few of his favourite songs. He is also one of the best yodelers in the region. Joining him will be Brad Scott of Pakenham on lead guitar, ﬁddler Wade Foster from Innisville, steel guitar player Matt Brydges from Renfrew and drummer Ken Post from Gravenhurst. “Ken is a really interesting guy,” Bowes says. “He has See MUSIC page 19

Lifestyle – Hunting season is upon us and the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit would like to remind those enjoying hunting activities to be aware that they also share the great outdoors with ticks that can make them sick. Lyme disease is caused by being bitten by an infected tick. In Leeds, Grenville and Lanark, we have several different types of ticks. Lyme disease is caused by the bite of an infected black-legged tick (also known as deer ticks). Lyme disease is regularly found within our geographic area of Leeds, Grenville and Lanark. A tick must be attached to you for at least 24 to 36 hours in order to transmit Lyme disease. A tick that was attached for less than 24 hours, even if it did carry the bacteria, could not transmit Lyme disease because it was not attached long enough. If a tick is attached for longer than 24 hours, and removed within the past 72 hours then it is important to contact a health care provider. What can you do to minimize your exposure to ticks? • Wear light coloured, long sleeved shirts and long pants. For extra protection, tuck your pants into your socks. Use bug repellent containing DEET. Read the manufacturer’s instructions before applying the repellent on yourself or children. • When you return from the outdoors, check your entire body thoroughly for ticks including your scalp. • If you ﬁnd an attached tick,

toured with Tommy Hunter.” Hunter is a Canadian country music icon and acclaimed CBC TV host. “The house band is excellent, “White stresses. “And they will back-up all of the singers too.” Fall theme Besides the country music talent, chief promoter White feels the theme of the annual production is an asset. “People enjoy the country harvest setting (the hall is decorated for fall and Halloween). There is a lot of colour to it.” He stresses the Oct. 19 fundraiser is “not a dance – it’s a concert.” Those in attendance are in a “theatre-style setting” although there are no reserved seats. “There isn’t a bad seat in the house,” White underlines. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and the show begins in the upper hall at 7 p.m. There will be a 20-minute intermission. Refreshments are not served while the show is on but will be available beforehand and during the intermission.

remove it promptly using a pair of tweezers or a tick remover. Grasp the tick’s head and mouth parts as close to the skin as possible and pull it straight out gently, but ﬁrmly. Avoid twisting or squeezing the tick during removal. Quick removal of a tick will prevent you from getting Lyme disease. Reminder: On July 1, the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit stopped accepting ticks to send away for surveillance testing. Our surveillance program now consists of an active surveillance strategy where we will look for and collect ticks from areas where they may be emerging. The change in how surveillance is done will not affect clinical care. Testing of ticks was not intended for the purpose of diagnosing disease; rather it was a tool for surveillance. Even if the tick was positive for the bacteria, it did not mean the tick transmitted the bacteria to the individual. The length of time the tick is attached is a key factor in the transmission of Lyme disease. Remember that if a tick is attached for longer than 24 hours and removed within the past 72 hours then it is important to contact a health care provider. For further information on Lyme disease, please contact the health unit at 613-345-5685 or our Health Action Line at 1-800-660-5853 or visit www.healthunit.org. You can also like our Facebook page for important public health updates. Submitted by the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit.

“It won’t be a late night for people from Ottawa or Lanark and Renfrew counties who want to enjoy a great night of country music,” White promises. There are no telephone ticket reservations and people are urged to buy tickets in advance at one of several outlets. “You would be taking a chance at the door,” White cautions. “This is a popular show and it could be sold out quickly.” Tickets at $15 each are available at the arena ofﬁce and at Carambeck Community Centre, 351 Bridge Street, Carleton Place. The other ticket outlets are Graham’s Shoes, 139 Bridge St., Carleton Place; Nicholson’s Sundries on Graham St. in Pakenham and Mark’s Cobbler Shop, 98 Gore St. E., Perth. “I want to thank Bob for his promotion and organization,” Bowes states. “Without his efforts this show would not take place.” Anyone wishing further information is invited to telephone White at 613253-5046. Submitted by Jeff Maguire on behalf of the organizers of the Country Harvest Music Show.

Sam Bat puts Town of Carleton Place on pro sports map Reflections By Jeff maguire

29-year drought was the longest of any team in the majors. Royals have been the surprise of the playoffs to date, sweeping the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim who had the best regular season record in baseball. KC has now qualiﬁed for the AL championship series which begins tomorrow. I hope their dream season continues with a trip to the World Series. By capturing a playoff place Kansas City relegated Toronto to the unwanted position of being the MLB team with the longest post-season drought. Jays haven’t made the playoffs since winning back-to-back World Series titles in 1992 and 1993.

to support the Student Exchange program we operate with the town’s two sister communities. Interestingly the theme of this year’s venture was baseball and in particular the Major Leagues. It was a natural for us because Carleton Place is the home of Sam Bat, a unique industry who manufactures maple baseball bats for export to players around the world. Among their clients are more than 100 MLB stars. Arlene Anderson, the general manager of Sam Bat and her husband Jim are two of the four coowners of the baseball bat company. Their business partners are Sam Holman and Paul Balharrie. Ottawa resident Holman invented the original maple bat in the 1990s and the ﬁrm still bears his name. Originally Holman began

bat manufacturing operations in his garage. When the maple bat caught on with some established MLB players, including alltime home run champion Barry Bonds, the company expanded to occupy larger quarters in OttawaGatineau. Three years ago they moved to the North Industrial Park in Carleton Place where they are now a going concern. Two years ago I enjoyed a tour of the Sam Bat production facility in the company of David Jacobson, the former United States Ambassador to Canada. Jacobson, a Chicago native and a devoted Cubs’ fan, was absolutely intrigued by what he saw. He was thrilled when Arlene presented him with one of the bats the company was then making for former Cubs’ slugger Alfonso Soriano,

one of Jacobson’s favourite players. Soriano, 38, was traded to the New York Yankees last season. But he was dropped by the Bronx Bombers earlier in the current MLB campaign after his hitting production fell sharply. The Dominican-born Soriano is now a free agent. The ﬁrm’s current star client is Detroit Tigers’ superstar Miguel Cabrera. The big ﬁrst baseman from Venezuela is the two-time defending AL Most Valuable Player. In 2012 he captured the coveted ‘Triple Crown’ something which only a handful of players have ever accomplished. The Triple Crown goes to a player who combines the best batting averSee COLUMN page 21

time Central Division champion Detroit Tigers all season in the most competitive division race in baseball. Detroit, who as regular readers will know is my team of choice, went into the ﬁnal game of the season – Game No. 162 – needing a win to clinch a fourth straight division title. Behind the shutout pitching of recently acquired lefthander David Price, one of baseball’s best, they blanked Minnesota Twins 3-0 on Sept. 28 to wrap up another trip to the divisional playoffs. Sadly for me and Tigers’ fans the team’s struggling bullpen suffered collapses in the eighth inning in consecutive games and Detroit ended up being swept three straight by a strong Baltimore team in the opening round of the playoffs. If Kansas City had played better against Detroit during the season they would have been crowned division winners. Royals lost 13 of 19 games against the Tigers. But their 89-73 record was good enough to seal the second wild card place in the ﬁnal standings. In so doing Kansas City shook a monkey off their collective backs. Royals have not been to the post-season since 1985. Their

Lifestyle – As a fan of team sports this is my favourite time of year. Fall is when so many sports are either wrapping up, are beginning to hit their stride or are just getting underway. Flip through the TV channels on Saturdays, for example, and you can find European soccer, baseball, American and Canadian college football, the Canadian Football League or even rugby. Junior hockey leagues, including the local Central Canada Hockey League, are already well into their regular seasons. Meanwhile the National Hockey League and the National Basketball Association are preparing for campaigns which begin later this month The Major League Baseball (MLB) playoffs are now in full swing. Unfortunately Canada’s representative, the Toronto Blue Jays, is not part of the mix. Jays had a competitive season but finished well back of the rampant Baltimore Orioles in the American League (AL) East Division race. Blue Jays finished an unlucky 13 games behind the Orioles. Toronto missed a wild card place by five games. One of the most interesting outcomes in MLB this season was the rise of the Kansas City Royals. They dueled with the three-

age with the most home runs and runs batted in during the season. Two seasons ago Cabrera led Detroit all the way to the World Series, although Tigers were unceremoniously swept by a very good San Francisco Giants’ team. He had finished the regular season with a sparkling .330 batting average, 44 home runs and 139 runs batted in. Cabrera became the first player in 45 years to win the much sought after Triple Crown. Boston Red Sox slugger Carl Yastrzemski was the previous winner way back in 1967. Arlene says Cabrera has been “a really loyal customer.” She met him in person during a visit to Detroit’s spring training facility in Lakeland, Florida earlier this year. “He is soft spoken – a very nice guy,” she says of the 31-year-old who has one World Series ring. He was a member of the 2003 MLB champion Florida (now Miami) Marlins. For me, a life-long Tigers’ fan, it is always a thrill to see Cabrera at the plate wielding a bat with the distinctive Sam Bat logo (a bat – of the flying kind) emblazoned on it. It is amazing to think that the bats used by Miguel Cabrera and so many other Major League stars are manufactured in my adopted hometown of Carleton Place. Big names There are many other big name players in the Sam Bat “stable” at present. Among them is outstanding Canadian player Justin Morneau of the Colorado Rockies (he’s from New Westminster, British Columbia). Morneau won the National League batting title this season. Others include former Blue Jay and now Detroit outfielder Rajai Davis, Kansas City infielder Omar Infante, Los Angeles Dodgers’ outfielder Matt Kemp, Milwaukee Brewers’ stars Ryan Braun and Rickie Weeks, slugger Matt Holliday of the St. Louis Cardinals, Washington Nationals’ young superstar Bryce Harper

and Melky Cabrera of the Blue Jays. In the lead-up to the gala event two weekends ago our committee members named the tables after MLB teams. Naturally I wanted the Detroit Tigers’ table. However I acquiesced when the Sam Bat folks pointed to the fact that Miguel Cabrera is such a big name to have as a steady customer that it should be them who would occupy the Detroit Tigers’ table at the ball. Obviously I couldn’t argue with our Honorary Co-Hosts and event sponsors. It was a natural for them! I settled for the Cleveland Indians a team who, like my Tigers, have a history that dates from 1901 and the formation of the American League. Indians are rarely in the Major League spotlight. They have just two World Series wins to their credit, the most recent being in 1948. Cleveland did win the AL pennant in 1997 and they were Central Division champions as recently as 2007. Last season Indians earned a wild card berth. My interest in the Indians mirrors that of my father Howard, the person whose life-long fascination with the grand game of baseball has rubbed off on me. My Dad was a huge follower of the Cleveland team in the late 1940s when they were a powerhouse featuring young hitters such as Larry Doby and outstanding pitchers such as Bob Feller and Leroy ‘Satchel’ Paige. At age 84, my father is now a diehard Blue Jays’ fan. As for me I will be cheering for Kansas City when the baseball playoffs resume at the end of this week. I will also be watching for players who use bats manufactured in our community where Sam Bat is busily putting Carleton Place on the international sports map. As a result this is a very interesting community to live in at MLB playoff time. If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at jeffrey.maguire@rogers.com.

The board also announced Oct. 6 that Charlotte Patterson has been appointed interim director of education effective immediately. Patterson is a well-respect-

Exciting weeks ahead at Station Theatre in Smiths Falls Arts – The Station Theatre’s premier film series continues on Friday, Oct. 10 and Saturday, Oct. 11, with a delightful pre-Thanksgiving treat. Chef, an audience favourite at many recent film festivals, will be screened both nights at 7:30 p.m. And the Station Theatre will be offering a little bonbon before the film treat: each night, patrons will be served appetizers as they line up in the lobby to buy their tickets for the show. Friday night the app is compliments of Coffee Culture; Saturday it’s the pleasure of the Station Theatre. Chef is a deliciously hilarious new comedy from acclaimed director Jon Favreau (Iron Man 1 and 2, Swingers). When Chef Casper (Jon Favreau) suddenly quits his job at a prominent restaurant after refusing

to compromise his creative integrity for its controlling owner (Dustin Hoffman), he is left to figure out what’s next. Finding himself in a creative rut, he teams up with his ex-wife (Sofia Vergara) and his son to launch a food truck. Taking to the road, Chef Casper goes back to his roots to reignite his passion for the kitchen – and zest for life and love. This movie boasts a great ensemble cast that includes Scarlett Johansson, Oliver Platt, John Leguizamo, and Robert Downey Jr. Tickets for the movie, sold only at the door, at 53 Victoria Avenue, Smiths Falls, are $10 for adults and $5 for students (with ID).

old black and orange female cat. I’ve been at LAWS since last year October and having a very good time here with my friends. However, I really think it’s time for me to find a place where I am offered my own food bowl, bed and private belly rubs. All my friends from way back when have found loving homes. I have been overlooked, because I am not so outgoing and actively seeking attention when people come to adopt. I don’t know how to do that, maybe you can come and teach me, please? I hope you come to meet me soon.

Braveheart, Honey and Sweetie We’re three siblings and looking for a farm with, preferably, a heated barn, where we can hunt mice and rats for you. We’re almost one-year-old, all orange and at LAWS since early March. People have tried to domesticate us to become house pets. Wrong! We were used to being outside on our own and although we’ve come to trust and like humans more than we did before, we’re still better off on a farm. We’re a smaller breed, really good looking, have all our shots and we will not be able to reproduce. It would be nice if we could live the rest of our lives together. Please come before the snow flies so we can get used to our new environment.

Gidget and Twichet We’re still here at LAWS and have written you a little poem prayer: Invite us to your place and patiently guide us with your grace. Please take us in your heart and do not break us up apart. We’re two lovely sibling cats, who have been at LAWS since March.

Scared at first to face the humans in this place, we’ve been slowly changed into more trusting furry pets. Please come, bring us treats, meet and play with us you’ll have no regrets. Happy Thanksgiving! Love, Gidget and Twichet. Honey Here I am! Come play! Who could resist such an appeal? This honey of a golden Lab cross more than matches her name: honey sweet and gorgeously sleek. Strong and powerful, she’s an outgoing and playful young dog who is very social with people and most eager to please. She knows some of her basic commands, but she still needs to work on her leash skills. As a high energy girl, she both loves and requires plenty of exercise. And because she’s quite reactive to other dogs, Honey would do best in an active home without other pets or small children. Follow us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/lanarkanimals or if you have any questions, contact us at shelter@lanarkanimals.ca or 613-283-9308.

Discover astronomy at Algonquin College Perth Campus with new program Community – When Frank Hitchens was a 12-year-old boy living in Nova Scotia, he witnessed Neil Armstrong’s ‘one small step’ onto the surface of the moon. Ever since that historic day occurred back in July of 1969, he’s been hooked on discovering the universe. “Mesmerized by those surreal ghostly images of Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin cavorting about the lunar surface began in me a lifelong obsession with astronomy and space exploration,” he says. Hitchens will share his knowledge this fall as he’ll be leading four separate astronomy workshops at the Algonquin College Perth Campus as part of its fall 2014 continuing education program.

With four individual sessions on offer, this fall’s astronomy classes will appeal to audiences of all ages. “At a non-technical, popular level, participants will cover some of the more fascinating aspects of what we have learned about the universe and our place within it,” explains Hitchens. “In a series of presentations we will explore the sheer scale of the cosmos, whether we are the only beings to ponder it, our first tentative steps away from our home planet and the threats from space we Photo courtesy of Frank Hitchens need to be aware of.” Frank Hitchens will share his The four sessions launch Oct. 15 with the first of four workshops, ‘You knowledge of astronomy this fall are Here’, which will take a look at the at Algonquin College.

structure of the universe and our place within it. The second session, ‘Are We Alone?, will explore how we are searching for life off the Earth. Should we find it, the class will discuss the scientific and philosophical implication involved. This workshop takes place. Oct. 22. The next week, ‘Target Earth’ will be on offer, and participants will look at the threats humans face from comet and asteroid impacts. There is a reason you won’t be seeing any dinosaurs anytime soon. Lastly, the Nov. 5 session, ‘Leaving Home’, will look at the past and future of human spaceflight and participants

will discuss whether for science or our own safety, there is a place for human spaceflight. “It is my goal to instill in as many folks as possible the same sense of wonder and curiosity I experience whenever I turn my gaze to a night sky awash in starlight,” explains Hitchens. Each workshop is $32 and they run from 7-9 p.m. at the college. To register, please pop by the front office at 7 Craig St. in Perth or call 613-267-2859 ext. 5691.

Carleton Place realtor rappels from Ottawa high-rise in aid of Easter Seals Jeff Maguire

News – Rappelling off the top of a 19-storey office building in downtown Ottawa. Not exactly a typical Monday morning for a real estate agent! And yet Ralph Shaw has done the same thing three times in four years. No, they weren’t publicity stunts! Shaw, a well-known Carleton Place based realtor who is the broker for Century 21 Explorer Realty Inc., did something most people would consider death-defying in aid of a worthy cause. He was part of Sept. 22’s Easter Seals “Drop Zone” in aid of the organization which, for the past 90 years in Ontario, has been offering programs and services to help children and youth with physical disabilities achieve a higher level of acceptance and independence. Everyone who takes part in Drop Zone has to have at least $1,500 in sponsorship money behind them. The proceeds from Monday’s unique charity event were still be tallied at press-time. Shaw, the current vice-president of the Ottawa Real Estate Board, was one of many people who rappelled down the outside face of the Morguard Building on Slater Street in the heart of the

nation’s capital Monday. Among them were a number of professionals including police officers and firefighters. They are experts at rappelling by the very nature of their jobs. Most of the participants were amateurs, from various walks of life, who accomplished the feat strictly to assist the good work of Easter Seals. Also among those taking part in the annual event were a number of people who refused to let their own disabilities stand in the way of assisting such a worthy cause. It was all very inspiring for Shaw and for Arnprior Century 21 agent Angela Havey who, dressed as a court jester, accompanied her boss on his long walk down the outside of the glass tower. She too had two previous Drop Zone experiences behind her. “Wow, it was a long way down this year,” Shaw said as he was assisted out of his safety harness by a project volunteer. After he and Havey exchanged high-fives, the veteran realtor said the experience was all worth it. “If you ever go to Camp Merrywood (a camp between Smiths Falls and Perth operated by the Easter Seal Society) you will see

Ralph Shaw and Angela Havey (in court jester’s costume) exchange high fives after successfully rappelling from the top of the 19-storey Morguard office tower in downtown Ottawa on Sept. 22. how important this (fundraiser) is,” Shaw observes. “We (Century 21) have Corporate Days at Camp Merrywood. As soon as people go there they are hooked,” he underlines. There’s no question Century 21 is a major contributor to Easter Seals and the organization’s many good works. Raise millions “Easter Seals is Century 21’s charity of choice. World-wide we have raised more than $100 million on their behalf since we became involved,” Shaw outlines.

In Ontario Easter Seals provides financial assistance for the purchase of costly mobility equipment and communications devices. In this province the organization owns and operates two fully accessible camp properties, Camp Merrywood in eastern Ontario and another facility

near London which serves southwestern Ontario. A spokesperson for the organization says Easter Seals Ontario is recognized “as an industry leader in providing specialized camping and recreation programs for kids with physical disabilities.” Shaw says that even the stress which results from standing on the precipice of a high-rise building and realizing you are going to walk down the outside with only the aid of ropes and a special safety harness is worth it. “Easter Seals is a very special organization,” he underlines. The longtime realtor would not admit to having a fear of heights. “Let’s just say I have a respect for heights,” he smiled, before he and Havey were escorted to an elevator to begin their latest Drop Zone experience. “Being strapped into the harness is a little bit scary,” he adds. “But it is the start that is the worst. Once you get going it’s not so bad.” Shaw wore a helmet camera

during his descent and before heading for the office tower the volunteer in charge of the video said, “Try to make sure you turn your head as often as possible.” After being interviewed by a television crew, Shaw and Havey were asked if they wanted to watch the footage Shaw himself had captured. “You did very well,” the video technician said enthusiastically as he replayed the footage which clearly showed much of Havey’s rappelling adventure. The street and the crowd watching proceedings from below were also visible at times. “You can get a copy of this and use it any way you wish,” the volunteer told Shaw. “That’s pretty cool,” he answered while admitting he was “happy to have my feet back on terra firma.” The Drop Zone fundraiser is held annually in cities across Canada and around the world.

Leeds, Grenville and Lanark health unit encourages you to rethink your drinking Community – For the first time ever, Canada has one national set of lowrisk alcohol drinking guidelines. These guidelines, intended for Canadians of legal drinking age who choose to drink alcohol, aim to provide consistent information across the country to help Canadians moderate their alcohol consumption and make informed choices. The new guidelines outline standard drinks sizes, limits for men and women, discuss when the limit is zero, and pro-

vide healthy alternatives and tips to decrease health risks. When it comes to alcohol, drinking is a personal choice, and the majority of people drink responsibly. We’re not asking you to stop drinking…instead we want you to rethink your drinking and gradually reduce the amount of alcohol you consume as part of a healthy lifestyle. If you choose to drink, these guidelines can help you decide when, where, why and how.

We all have reasons to celebrate. Celebrations and special events are times when the guidelines can help you make decisions about drinking alcohol – rethinking your drinking! Knowing your limits and standard drink sizes, can help you make the right decisions for you. You can reduce your risk of harm or injury, by limiting alcoholic drinks to no more than three drinks for women or four drinks for men on special occasions. If you host a party and alcohol is served,

offer your guests food and non-alcoholic drinks. Making sure everyone has a safe ride home is a really important part of having a safe, enjoyable celebration. There are lots of safe tips to consider when drinking alcohol whether you are the host or the guest. • Have limits for yourself and stick to them. • Try a ‘spacer’ – for every drink with alcohol have an alcohol free drink like water or juice. Drink slowly and have no

Arts – Every playwright hopes their latest creation will lead to fame, fortune and professional recognition. But when Beth Henley unveiled Crimes Of The Heart to the theatre world back in the late ‘70s it just lay there – no one wanted it, or rather, no one took the time to appreciate the genius of this new comedy/drama from a relatively unknown author. But when a friend secretly submitted Crimes of the Heart to a play-writing contest in Louisville, Kentucky, it absolutely took off, winning the 1981 Pulitzer Prize and the New York Drama Critics Circle Award, and establishing Beth Henley as a major voice in theatre. Since then, Crimes Of The Heart has had several successful theatrical runs and was even made into a highly regarded film starring Diane Keaton, Jessica Lange, Sissy Spacek, and Sam Shepard. Luckily for Perth audiences, it has also caught the attention of our own award-winning director Barb Guthrie, who brings it to the stage of the Studio Theatre beginning Thursday, Oct. 9. Crimes of the Heart is set in Hazlehurst, Mississippi, where the Magrath sisters have gathered to await news of their grandfather, who is living out his final hours in the local hospital. The older sister, Lenny (Gina Tremaine), desperately wants to be married but, alas, at 30 and caring for her grandfather, her chances of landing a man are roughly the same as her chances of being hit by falling airplane parts. Meanwhile, middle sister Meg (Tracy Noonan) has fled back

Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23

An issue at work requires your immediate attention, Aries. This situation must be approached delicately, but don’t be afraid to speak your mind and accept the results.

Don’t be surprised if your schedule gets turned upside down this week, Libra. It’s important to roll with the punches so others can see how flexible you can be.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

Taurus, a busy week awaits but just take things one project at a time. Keep to yourself for a little bit in an attempt to stay focused on the numerous tasks at hand.

Scorpio, an unconventional approach is your key to success this week. While others are following Plan A, go with Plan B and you may meet with great results.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

Gemini, your positive attitude is why people have grown to rely on you in tight spots. Plant a smile on your face and others will benefit from your positive influence.

Fantasy can overtake reality if you let it, Sagittarius. You may need to rein in your hopes and dreams for a bit and focus on some more practical matters.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

Cancer, it’s hard to know when to be assertive at work. You want to appear competent and in control, but you also want to build a good rapport with coworkers. Experiment a little.

Friends may distract you from work this week, Capricorn. Although it’s not wise to let responsibilities slide completely, you can probably get away with a day of slacking off.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

Leo, give plans time to develop, but don’t feel the need to hide your enthusiasm about the prospects. Trust your instincts as to when is a good time to get moving.

Aquarius, the physical rewards for all your hard work will become apparent soon. You’ll find that all of your efforts thus far have been well worth the sacrifices.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Virgo, you cannot control the behavior of others, but you can change your own direction to counteract some unexpected developments. Keep an open mind.

Pisces, although you may dream of escaping the daily grind, you may need to persevere for just a little while longer. Your respite is coming.

Food safety tips to keep in mind when preparing poultry this Thanksgiving Lifestyle – It is a tradition in many Canadian homes to serve poultry (turkey, chicken and duck) at Thanksgiving. However, if poultry isn’t prepared, cooked or stored properly, you and your family could be in danger of getting food poisoning (also known as foodborne illness). While cooking poultry to the proper internal temperature kills harmful bacteria in the food, it doesn’t help control bacteria that may have spread around your kitchen while the food was being prepared or stored. Follow these safety tips to help protect you and your family. What you should know Poultry poses particular food safety challenges because it can be contaminated with bacteria such as salmonella, which can cause food poisoning. Symptoms of food poisoning can include diarrhea, vomiting and stomach cramps. It’s estimated that there are approximately four million cases of food poisoning in Canada every year. Many of these illnesses could be prevented by following proper food handling and preparation techniques. What you should do Clean, separate, cook and

LET IT ROT!

chill: Follow these four key food safety steps when preparing your meal to reduce the risk of getting sick from undercooked poultry and stuffing, and from crosscontamination in your kitchen. Clean • Wash your hands carefully with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds before and after handling raw poultry. • Clean and sanitize the sink, surfaces and kitchen utensils after handling raw or thawing poultry and its juices. • You can make your own cleaning spray by mixing 5 ML (1 teaspoon) of household bleach with 750 mL (3 cups) of water. Pour the mixture into a clean, labelled spray bottle. Spray the mixture on kitchen counters, tables, taps, sinks and appliances (including fridge door handles). Wipe with a clean cloth or paper towel. Clean utensils in hot soapy water then spray them with the cleaning spray. Let them sit for a minute. Then rinse thoroughly and let them air dry. Separate • Store your poultry in a leakproof bag or container in the refrigerator or freezer immediately after you buy it. • Thawing your poultry at room temperature is discour-

aged. It’s better to thaw it in the refrigerator or in cold water. If you thaw your poultry in cold water, keep it in its original wrapping and change the cold water regularly to ensure that the water remains cold. • Don’t rinse raw poultry before cooking it. This can spread bacteria everywhere the water splashes and puts you at risk of getting food poisoning. Cook • Use a digital food thermometer and cook whole poultry until the temperature of the thickest part of the breast or thigh is at least 85ºC (185ºF) to kill harmful bacteria. • Cook stuffing separately in its own dish or on the stove top. If you do stuff your turkey, stuff loosely just prior to roasting and remove all stuffing immediately after cooking. Cook stuffing to a minimum internal temperature of 74ºC (165ºF). Safe cooking in a crock pot • It is safe to cook poultry in a crock pot (slow cooker) as long as the meat reaches a safe internal temperature. Thaw the poultry completely before cooking. Placing frozen poultry directly in a slow cooker puts you at risk of food poisoning because it will take a long time to reach a safe

internal temperature. Chill • Bacteria can grow quickly on food left at room temperature. Refrigerate leftovers after they have cooled, but within two

hours of cooking. Foods such as fully cooked poultry and potatoes can be eaten cold. If you are reheating your leftovers, reheat them to 74ºC (165ºF) or warmer until steamy throughout. Gravy

should be reheated to a full boil. • You can safely re-freeze poultry that has not been fully defrosted if the meat is still cold and ice crystals are present. Submitted by Health Canada.

MacPhail, Donald K

On October 1, 2014, Donald Kyle MacPhail of Carleton Place, ON. Donald was born on his mother’s birthday in the family home at Tayside, ON. The only son of Ernest Aird MacPhail and Ethel MacKie Blair, he grew up in the area which had been settled by his ancestors a century previously, attending Sandringham School, Maxville High School and Carleton University. His ashes will be returned to the area and interred in the MacPhail family plot in Maxville. In the early 1950s Donald joined the Bank of Montreal, serving the Bank in various positions for 35 years including seven years at No. 2 Wall Street in New York City and many years at Head Office in Montreal. He retired as Executive assistant to the Chairman. Donald married the love of his life, Beverley E. D. Bankart of Town of Mount Royal, QC on October 4, 1952. Together, they raised a family and were fortunate enough to explore much of the world including Europe, North America and New Zealand. Donald was an elder in the Presbyterian Church congregations of Lachine, QC, Westfield, NJ, Town of Mount Royal, QC and Carleton Place, ON. He was a Life Member of the Montreal West Operatic Society where, for many years, he enjoyed singing and acting in their Gilbert & Sullivan productions. Donald was also active in both his own backyard gardens wherever he lived and with the Carleton Place Horticultural Society. Donald is survived by Beverley as well as their three sons, Donald E.A. (and Ann) of Rothesay, NB, Peter A.B. of Innisville, ON and John E.B. (and Denise) of Calgary, AB. Donald was the doting ‘GD’ to granddaughters Jenna and Allison and grandsons Keith and Ian. He was also the dear brother to his only sister Charlotte R. (and the late Donald) Kennedy of Maxville, ON and the slightly eccentric uncle to their children, Ann, Ian, Janet and Elizabeth as well as their partners and children.

Watsons Corners cannon shop re-emerges from ashes Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Business – Nine months after a fire devastated his workshop, the sale of the only cannon he was able to rescue from the flames may pay for Tony Walsh’s new workshop. The cannon was test fired in early August for the approval of Parks Canada staff. It was then shipped to Elgin, and onwards to the historic Citadel in Halifax. “It went well,” Walsh said during a telephone interview last Friday. “They were quite pleased.” He has had plenty of experience with cannons, having already produced four for the Citadel. Two of them were War of 1812, six-pound smooth bore cannons, and another two. He has also repaired the Citadel’s Noon Day Gun, as well as various guns. “They have a massive collection,” he said. He had been approached about building a nine-pound cannon about 10 years ago. He began work on the project but his client changed his mind and he was left with the gun carriage. But, as luck would have it, the federal government happened to be looking for just such a carriage. “It’s one of those really happy coincidences,” said Walsh. The luck of that cannon carried it through this past January, when his shop in Watson’s Corners, in Lanark Highlands Township, burned down. He lost nearly everything, except for the cannon barrel and the carriage.

“My neighbour and my daughter were able to pull it out,” said Walsh. It took just two adults to move the heavy war equipment, but later, without the benefit of adrenalin, “it took four of us to move it,” he said with a laugh. Just 10 days later, the Citadel found proof that a battery of nine pounders had existed in service at the fort in the past – as such, they could now buy the cannon. Walsh is an expert on British war equipment, and, “that I know of, there is only myself and another chap,” one Lloyd Johnson, from Pefferlaw, Ont., a blacksmith who worked on the Armstrong guns at Fort Henry in Kingston. Johnson also worked on small arms, like Brunswick rifles, at Fort Prescott. While the Americans had detailed plans for their equipment, “right down to the nuts and bolts on the carriage,” the British were far less exacting, with everything being made from a pattern. To ensure he was historically accurate, “you have to go through a lot of books to get very little information.” Thankfully, the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa allows him in to take measurements whenever he needs. Walsh began his interest in these 19th century devices when he was a weapons technician in the Canadian army. He left in 1978, and took a course on the craft, one akin to blacksmithing, but specifically geared towards military equipment craft. He was then called back into military service on a contract basis. As he improved his craft, word got out about his talent, and “when you

do weird trades, the government had a list of them,” that it would call on to do restoration jobs. He soon found himself on that list. While images may abound of an eccentric neighbour disturbing the rural calm with sudden cannon blasts, Walsh actually invites his neighours over – or, failing that, at least gives them a heads up – when he is having a test shoot, “so as they are not surprised.” When his shed burned down, it did not mark a temporary stop to his work. “I do a lot of my work outside,” he said, so, once spring arrived, he was back at it, repairing his remaining gun. “It took a long time to clean up after,” and the new shed will be a lot smaller than the original. “I had a lot of really old equipment,” he said wistfully, most of which later ended up as 15 tonnes of scrap metal. “A lot of work down the drain.” But he was glad that the tragedy brought out the best in his neighbours. “(They) pitched in,” he said. “They have been excellent. The support we got here has been just short of unbelievable.” Another one of the few items that were salvaged was a gun intended for Signal Hill in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. It was still damaged so, “they were very good about it. They put it on hold until June of next year.” He poured the cement for the new shop earlier this month, and the money from the sale of the latest Citadel gun will pay for the new workshop.

when they are servicing men.” Just as shocking is the news that human traffickers can pocket between $260,000 and $280,000 off of each victim. It may be difficult to think about the putrid side of the Internet, but “we cannot have our heads in the sand,” she said. “It’s so connected to human trafficking,” and pornography is the gas thrown on the fire, feeding the need for more human trafficking – and the younger the better for the depraved appetites that await them. Of equal concern is how easily children can access pornography online. The family of a 10-year-old boy who got addicted to online porn will travel to Ottawa to meet her after he sent her a four-page letter detailing his plight, about how his life was “turned upside down.” “It was quite innocent,” she said, of his first foray into online porn. “It (the images) just popped up… (they were) horrible, violent images.” She applauded the initiative of the likes of British Prime Minister David Cameron, whose Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition government has made moves to “eliminate the easy access to porn on the Internet.”

On her web site, she is proposing an “opt-in Internet Service Provider (ISP) based filter,” but, after meeting with Google and other webmasters, she concedes, “webmasters don’t want this kind of thing on the web.” The current government has passed Bill 268, which brought in mandatory minimum sentences for child traffickers, as well as Bill C-310, which will see Canadian citizens and permanent residences being able to be charged with trafficking people abroad, and tried in a Canadian court. Her speech in Perth is part of a larger, ongoing campaign to move the conversation from out of the shadows, and through their growing confidence, “they are survivors now. They are not victims anymore,” that they are talking out about what happened to them. “The victims are very happy that people are talking about this. Education is our greatest weapon,” she said. While child pornography is reviled by society, and violent pornography is also considered to be abhorrent, “mainstream porn,” is not immune from her campaign. “I’m talking about Playboy too,” she said. “Mainstream porn is not yesterday’s Playboy… We need to let your children be children. Sex education of the day should not be through hardcore porn.”

provincial government… is in the process of implementing a program called FIT4,” (Feed-In-Tariff), which could change how the process works. “Each of these FIT competitions… have a point system,” he said, whenever contracts are doled out, and if iSolara’s points do not measure up, “we are out of luck.” In an email to town council, Argue wrote that he had only learned of the iSolara proposal through coverage in The Perth Courier, and that, council needed to be aware that there “were 1,779 FIT 3.0 applications for 2014, of which 500 were accepted – a 28 per cent success rate. An agreement with any company does not mean projects will necessarily move ahead.” The delay will also give town council and staff more time to look at the finer details of the deal. Graff hastened to add, “I am in full support of the technology. Kudos to staff for coming up with this revenue-generating (idea),” he said. The delay, “gives us more information in making this final decision.” Graff also wanted to get comment from the fire chief and to find out more about the conditions of the roofs of Perth’s municipal buildings, like the arena and the pool. Coun. Judy Brown agreed with the deferral, noting that EcoPerth “has advised us over the years on all manner of environmental programs.” “Let’s take another look at this,” agreed Mayor John Fenik, before the deferral was carried unanimously. Eco concerns Amongst the other concerns Argue raised in his email to council were that “there is no reason for haste,” since the FIT 3.0 program has been extended “and any new projects will be under the as-yetunannounced FIT 4.0, well into 2015.”

John Sirosky, solar project consultant with iSolara, addresses Perth council Sept. 9.

Argue was also concerned that the numbers reported for the project were based on the old FIT 3.0 program and that new pricing was not due to be released until Sept. 30. “Until then, it is pure speculation on what revenue and potential lease agreements can be offered,” he wrote. Another area of concern for Argue was that there “is no opportunity for community involvement allowing Perth and area residents or business to invest… (also) options to this proposal exist and should be explored before committing to any one proposal or sole-sourcing.” Not only did council vote to defer ratifying the deal, they also voted to defer allowing for an exemption to the council’s sole-sourcing bylaw. Argue pointed out that SolarShare, Canada’s largest renewable energy co-op, “has a good success rate in being awarded FIT contracts.” He admitted that EcoPerth has been working with SolarShare “to develop community solar projects in this area,” and that town staff has known about this since June.

News – After nearly nine months of inactivity, Perth’s anti-drug committee has been relaunched. The Perth/Tay Valley/Drummond-North Elmsley Municipal Drug Strategy (MDS) Committee met again for the first time since January on Sept. 22 at YAK, the Youth Action Kommittee, in Perth. “We haven’t really met,” admitted Tanis Cowan, executive director of YAK, during an interview at her office on Wednesday, Sept. 17. At the last meeting, “we had talked about trying to get members,” but that they had not met since then. “We don’t know what will happen,” she admitted of the future of the committee. “(But) we know that we need to do something.” The first meeting focused on brainstorming new ideas, and Cowan wants her committee to catch up with other MDS committees in the area. “Some of the other MDS’ are doing great stuff,” she said. The committee is made up, so far, of Cowan, Tay Valley Township’s Deputy Reeve, Susan Freeman, Perth’s Deputy Mayor John Gemmell, Drummond/North Elmsley Township Coun. Ken Fournier, as well as Christine Campbell from Perth and District Collegiate Institute. OPP Cons. Dave Bird was scheduled to be in attendance. While the committee had been trying its best, all of the members are “all working on four other committees,” which is why “we were looking for

some new life, new ideas.” Amongst the problems that Cowan already knows that the re-formed committee will be facing will be the use of prescription drugs and party drugs amongst youth. “The kids are very open with us,” she said. “You can’t always tell what is going on with prescription drugs,” as they do not have an odor, whereas marijuana and most forms of alcohol do. Not only do YAK staff go to kids looking for information, the teens also approach staff. “They will come to us when they are worried about their friends,” she said. However, she stressed that the MDS will not focus solely on how drugs relate to youth – older people’s concerns and issues with drugs will be raised too. Cowan said he has noticed, from previous experiences, that seniors, for example, have tended to focus on addictions to prescription medication, while the police are focused on what drugs are popular elsewhere, and may be on their way here. “We have to start somewhere,” she said, and one idea she will be floating will be having another youth panel discussion, like one she saw at the Perth Civitan Club hall. Members of the Skills Link program created a video which was shown at an MDS meeting there, and then the adults were able to ask the Skills Link panelists, questions like “What is a dime bag?” and “How can I tell if you are high,” in school. Cowan anticipates that the meetings, going forward, will be held monthly.

Tay Valley churches celebrate significant anniversaries Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Community – Tay Valley Township Roman Catholics will have twice the reason to celebrate this fall. St. Bridget Roman Catholic Church in Stanleyville will be celebrating its 150th anniversary this month, while St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church in Dewitt’s Corners, the younger of the two, will celebrate 125 years next month. An anniversary mass will be celebrated at St. Bridget on Sunday, Oct. 19, at 3 p.m., with Kingston Archbishop Brendan O’Brien officiating, followed by a beef supper at the hall across the road 5 p.m. On Oct. 23, 1864, Catholics in Stanleyville celebrated their first mass, back when “it was still a mission of St. John the Baptist in Perth,” said Evelyn Goodfellow, who published a book back in March. On Nov. 23, 1889, St. Vincent de Paul celebrated its first mass, as a mission of Stanleyville. “I thought it was very special that the numbers lined up,” said Goodfellow, who moved back to Tay Valley seven years ago. She grew up in the St. Bridget congregation, where she was amongst the third generation of worshipers, and stayed in the area until 1969 – a year of great change at Catholic churches around the world with the reforms of so-called Vatican Two council coming into effect.

Goodfellow and her husband were married in the church in 1971 and, by that time, “the altar railing was gone and the priest faced the people,” whereas, before the reforms, the faithful could only receive holy communion at the altar rails, only priests and altar boys were allowed on the other side of the altar rails, and the priest often had his back to the congregants during the service. “My mother taught Latin to the altar boys there,” at St. Bridget, she remembered, but, with the reforms, the Latin masses went by the wayside, replaced by mass in English. “You went along with it (Latin) but you didn’t understand it.” When the reforms arrived in Stanleyville, “there were skeptics,” she said, followed by a hearty laugh of remembrance. “Ask me if it brought any more people back to the church, and I would say, no.” But, in fairness, she explained that families in the parish are a lot smaller, with far fewer children than in the past. Looking back to younger days in the 1940s, she recalled that there was “more structure” in the church, more of an emphasis on the hierarchy, and that the classes of kids celebrating their first holy communion or first reconciliation would easily top out at more than 100 children. Now, the first holy communion cer-

emony is held at St. John in Perth, “because there is so few (children).” In the four decades she has been away, Goodfellow noticed “the numbers are going down. It is like any other church. The numbers are falling away.” Back in her childhood, “we had a lot of parishioners then.” She remembers a time when there was not enough room for everyone, looking down on the overflow crowd from the choir loft where she sang with her mother. Even at that, the cycle of change continues, with St. Bridget’s church welcoming its 19th priest recently, who also covers off churches in Lanark and McDonald’s Corners. But at least the new priest has access to a car – a speedier mode of transportation than the memories Goodfellow’s mother had of parishioners coming across Pike Lake from the greater Westport area. In researching her book, she looked at the cornerstone of St. Vincent de Paul, which was placed in March of 1889 – and noted that the church was finished that November. “Their faith was extremely strong,” said Goodfellow. “They built this community on their faith. They worked hard for what they believed in.” Even today, that community spirit continues. “I’ve seen the community come together,” said Goodfellow. “The church is the building itself. But the real church is the people.”

Perth Ghost Walk

A haunting we shall go! News - Have you ever met a ghost on the streets of Perth? Well, on Friday, Oct. 24 you just might meet one or two during the annual Ghost Walk of Perth. Tortured souls who clamour to have their stories told include a murderer who swung from the courthouse gallows, a ferryman who demanded deadly tolls, and a cursed woman who forever roams the hospital’s halls. Long known as a picturesque town of tree-lined streets and historic homes, Perth also has its fair share of spooks. Even Matheson House has a shadowy resident who is more at home in the 19th century than the 20th. Susan Code, local historian and author, will lead the approximately 90-minute walk. People are asked to meet – in costume, if they wish – by 7 p.m., on Friday, Oct. 24, outside the Perth Museum, 11 Gore St. E., the starting and stopping point for the Ghost Walk. Treats will be served there afterwards and the Museum will be open for viewing. The Ghost Walk will be held foul weather or fair. Tickets are $10 per adult, $5 per child (maximum $25 per family), and can be reserved by calling the Perth Museum at 613-267-1947. Proceeds from the evening will go towards support of the Perth Museum.

News - The Probus Club of Perth is back in operation after a summer break and is now welcoming new members. Membership in the club is capped at 150 members, but currently there is space available for people who are interested in joining. Some have described the Probus Club of Perth as one of the best-kept secrets of the community, so this article is designed to share some of the secrets. Probus clubs are organizations for men and women who have retired from their profession or business and who want to maintain a social network with others who have similar interests. Each Probus club is sponsored by a Rotary club and usually meets once a month for fellowship and to hear guest speakers. Probus clubs are not service organizations and are non-sectarian and non-political, although members are often active volunteers in many community organizations. Today, there are over 300,000 members in approximately 4,000 Probus clubs worldwide. In Canada alone there are 170 clubs from St. John’s, Nfld. to Victoria BC, with a membership of over 22,000. Probus Perth is a particularly active club. It meets at 10 a.m. on the first Wednesday of each month, September through June, at the Perth Legion, 26 Beckwith St. E. The highlights of the meeting are usually provided by the guest speakers who present on an eclectic range of very interesting subjects. But in addition, it turns out that many members of Probus Perth have done the most amazing things during their lives and they share their experiences with the others in an optional short “self-introduction” during each meeting. There are also a number of special activities spread throughout the year for the enjoyment of club members and their guests. So, interesting events, fascinating talks and fellowship, without participatory commitments, are what Probus Perth is all about. The diversity of the guest speakers over the last 12 months has been particularly impressive. The club’s Speaker Team has been very creative in bringing in speakers who have informed, entertained and challenged members to think about various world issues. A very good example of the latter was the presentation given a few weeks ago by former Canadian Ambassador, James Bissett

PARK IT!

who spoke authoritatively on lessons learned from the Balkans and on the present situation in the Ukraine. A similarly challenging topic was presented earlier by respected Toronto lawyer, George Addy, on patent law and the digital economy. Members were thoroughly entertained by Alex Troubetskoy’s “Arctic Obsession”, writer George Laidlaw’s “For the Love of History” and the wonderful, eclectic photography of Ted Dyke. They were informed by the trio of Geoff Hart, Al McGregor and Lisa Saunders who talked about the prevalence of ticks and Lyme disease in this area. Not to be outdone by external presenters, the club is blessed to have a number of members who are excellent presenters and who have had seminal experiences that are begging to be shared. Over the past year, these have included Gail Read and Ian McDonald on their exploration of southern South America and Antarctica, Derek Cooke on his 11 years working in Saudi Arabia, Craig Greenwood speaking about the “Fantastic White Bears of the Ice” and Jim Sands, who told the fascinating story of how radar helped to win the Battle of Britain. Optional activities over the past year, orchestrated by special events director par excellence Mary Kilgour, have included our annual trip to the Thousand Islands Playhouse to see “Driving Miss Daisy”, combined with a Thousand Islands cruise and a dock talk, a local Dinner-Theatre event at the Stone Cellar restaurant, followed by the Studio Theatre production “Leaving Home”, an Ottawa Senators hockey game and our annual Christmas Party at the Lion’s Hall, among other events. There is always a good contingent of members who go off to lunch together in a local restaurant after the meeting. If you are new to the community, recently retired, or have just learned about this “best-kept secret”, Probus Perth may well be of interest to you. Please feel free to contact the club about membership or about coming out to one of their meetings to see if Probus is for you. For further information on Probus Perth, please visit their website at www.probusperth.ca or come out to a meeting to try it out. Please come for coffee and conversation at 9:30 a.m., followed by the meeting at 10 a.m. on the first Wednesday of the month at the Perth Legion. Submitted by Colin Stephenson

Local cinematic artists’ short film wins big Events - Shot in the spring 2014 in Lanark County, the comical short film The Buckley Brothers features an unusual set of twins. Sam and Seb Buckley live on a farm with their mother and father. Everyone in town knows them as the Buckley Brothers. But they are more than just brothers. Despite the fact that one is black and the other is white, the boys have always insisted that they were twins. Directed by Canadian-born

filmmaker and actress Rachelle Casseus, the short film made its U.S. premiere at the Lady Filmmakers Festival in Beverly Hills, California on Sept. 26. Associate Producer Jennifer Mulligan was in L.A. to accept the award Best Comedy Film. Writers Rachelle Casseus and Charlie Ebbs, professional partners, have collaborated on a variety of projects: a web series, Locker Lives, a sketch comedy show featured on Rogers, Tripping in Orbit, and the short film

The Hold Up which featured at the Hollyshorts Film Festival in Los Angeles in 2012. Producers are Rachelle Casseus, Nick Dolinski, Charlie Ebbs, Kevin Price, Adam McLaren and Jennifer Mulligan. The film stars Ottawa actors Kelley Oliver, Seamus Patterson, Teri Loretto and Robert Reynolds See their Facebook page for more information.

The nearness of far away

pinion - I’ve been trying to remember what I used to be afraid of when I was a kid. (Yes, that’s how I roll. Let’s think about bad stuff! From the past! Go!) It might help to explain that the purpose of this rumination was to reflect on the perils of being a kid today versus growing up in the 1970s. One thing I remember for sure is that when I was about 10 there were a whole bunch of bad fires in Perth. A couple of buildings on Gore Street burned, including the old library. Around that time a woman who said she was psychic proclaimed the whole town would burn down. When the old IGA grocery store subsequently burned to the ground, she said something like, “See?” The whole thing freaked me out completely. It seemed as if the bad fires were getting closer and closer to my house. I remember lots of school-yard conversations about the lady’s predictions, and I remember worrying a lot about how I would get out of my house if it caught fire. (It’s interesting to contemplate how a few years’ difference in age combined with a more relaxed personality can affect how a person reacts to things. While I was lying awake worrying about my town being destroyed in an inferno and contemplating where my displaced family would live, my future husband and his friends in high school were crank calling the psychic lady. But don’t say I told you that.) I can only imagine how difficult it must have been for my parents to come up with reassuring answers to my obsessive questions. At least I had fire escape routes planned out. When I became a parent and my short people learned to articulate worries of their own, I quickly realized I wasn’t prepared for the scope of questions beyond where babies come from and what if there is an earthquake. Usually we can at least fumble our way through these things and advise people to wash their hands and cough into their elbows and to check for fault lines. (Or we make it up. Some of the best solutions are make believe.) Now, however, with the fantabulous Interwebs and the fact our short people can read, it’s a lot harder to filter information about tough questions. As much as I want my kids to be informed about things happening in the world, I also don’t want them to be lying awake

at night worrying about it all. (That’s my job, and I am a champion at it.) Take something like Ebola, for instance. A cursory glance at the blessed Interwebs indicates Ebola first emerged in humans in 1976. As a kid, I remember hearing about it and knowing it involved nasty bleeding from the inside, but it was “far away” in Africa and not likely to be any concern to us. For a long time the phrase “that is far away from here, so don’t worry about it” was a staple response to our kids when they were concerned about something. I remember telling Boychild not to worry, that most tornados happen “far away in the States” while the skies were darkening and I was checking for weather warnings. The States – that whole other country – seems so far away when you’re six. Meanwhile, Ebola is in Texas. Enterovirus D68, with some cases having weird, polio-like paralysis, is creeping across the country. My grandmother talked about polio sweeping through her town when she was a child. That was a “far away” time and a disease that had no context for me. Things that used to be “far away” are so much nearer in today’s world, though, and the phrase “wash your hands” just might not cut it. One day Boychild was watching something on the news about terrorism threats – “far away in the States.” This led to lots of questions about terrorism and it coming here, to Canada. Would Dad be safe at work in Ottawa? I hate having to answer those questions. I vividly recall being pregnant with Boychild, and watching with shock as 9/11 unfolded on television. Our world had changed. “Far away” was a lot closer and I was bringing a baby into this new unknown. Being a grown-up, apparently, is not for chumps. The short people like to have answers. If only the questions were about the likelihood of falling pianos, instead.

Postal loyalty gets returned to sender

pinion – If Canada Post is going out of its way to alienate its clients, then, mission accomplished. Most people my age have never darkened the doorway of a Canada Post outlet, let alone sent a letter, or had reason to. They couldn’t tell you how much a stamp costs, much less a booklet of stamps. Again, why would they need to? For them, the post office may as well be listed in the dictionary under the term redundant. Many moons ago, I worked alongside Brier Dodge at the Canadian Gazette office in Carleton Place. She is now our reporter in Orleans, but in 2011, her desk faced mine. The postal strike had just ended and her jaw dropped when she beheld a sheaf of bills in my hand. I was off to the post office across the street to pay them – by cheque, through the mail. She could not believe that I still paid

DESMOND DEVOY Des Says my bills through the post. She had never seen anyone actually still doing it. But after Canada Post’s decision late last year to up postal rates and, over time, eliminate home delivery, that had to end. This past January, all of my bills were transferred online. There were some significant mailings that continued though. I had been writing regularly to my grandmother, until a few weeks before her death – God rest her soul – in Ireland. At her age, she was not up to – and, towards the end, physically unable to – surf the web, so, clippings from my newspaper writings, a few printed-off photos, and the occasional letter, made their way to the Dublin suburbs monthly.

As her illnesses robbed her of her ability to talk, my Irish relatives were a little relieved to have something else to talk about during their visits with her. After bringing her up to date on what was new in their world, with the conversation being lopsided, they would look about the room, and their eyes would settle on my bulging envelope, covered in Canadian stamps. “Ah, let’s see what Desmond wrote this month,” they’d exclaim. (They probably found out more about the Perth Garlic Festival or Perth’s decision to wind down its own police force or other local trivia than any other Irish family.) Even so, I continued to send packages over to another Irish senior, Brother Sean MacNamara, who lives at the Christian Brothers House in Ennis, County Clare, as well as my young cousin, Darren, who lives in County Longford.

The conversation begins with the mayor

Reader supports breastfeeding in public DEAR EDITOR, Editor’s note: The following is in response to the letter run in the Sept. 25 issue of the Perth Courier ‘Show some class when breastfeeding in public: reader’. Thanks for stigmatizing the beautiful act of nursing and perpetuating an idea that the breastfeeding woman is a selfish, social defiant who is classless and unaware of the feelings of “fellow man”. The letter writer seemed to be ashamed of the act. Sometimes feeding their baby in a washroom. Is this disgusting place to feed my babe, the one you speak of when you suggest I get my priorities in life aligned and spend more time cooing and cuddling my babe? If it is, I’ll pass. As a mother of about to be four little babes, how terrible I am to mentally and physically feed my lovely children by taking them out in public and my baby along for the ride for the experience? Is it shameful and showing skewed priorities by having a coffee after two hours of sleep and visiting with adult humans to satisfy the mental need to be sane and happy for myself and, in turn, my children? It is a function of my body to feed my baby on demand. It is quite uncomfortable emotionally and physically, both for mother and baby, to not nurse on demand. A woman living with these viewpoints aimed towards her is made to feel guilty for the one most important thing she can do for her growing child. A breastfeeding mother must not only contend with the skewed viewpoints of members of the public but with the shame they now feel because of a sneering culture. I congratulate and honour the woman who is told that they offend society and go ahead and do it anyway. All in all, breastfeeding mamas, please continue to do so in public, because those who are offended don’t matter to you and those who support you will continue to and think you are amazing. Crystal Grier Perth

DEAR EDITOR, One of the purposes of the Be Aware Porn Harms campaign is to start a conversation about the harms of pornography to our children and youth. The mayor has provided a wonderful opportunity for this conversation to begin by his recent remarks at the Perth Town council meeting as quoted in The Perth Courier, P12, Thursday, October 2, 2014. Pornography remains one of the biggest threats to our children’s safety. The issue of pornography is not a “spiritual” one, nor does this campaign endorse the interests of “one particular group”. Pornography is a global public health issue

that should be of concern to all. The campaign is sponsored by the Be Aware Coalition, which is comprised of citizens, working with community groups, inter-faith communities, schools, businesses and concerned parents in the Perth area. In the meeting of the committee-of-the-whole on Sept. 9, the Be Aware Coalition requested and received approval of council to hang the Be Aware Porn Harms banner across Foster Street with a vote of 5-2. It is unfortunate that the mayor has chosen to focus on the banner rather than on the issue. As Mayor Fenik “vows to rethink banner policy”, the coalition

urges the mayor to consider the following: • more than 40 years of empirical research has revealed concrete evidence on the harms of pornography and the way it shapes behaviour and attitudes of children and youth; • more than 90 per cent of Canadians are concerned about the distribution of child sexual abuse images; • pornography has become increasingly acceptable, accessible and freely available; and, • child exploitation ranks as one of the top three concerns for parents. The citizens of Perth will have

the opportunity to be informed about the threats associated with pornography by attending a presentation on Oct. 9 at 7 p.m. at PDCI with Joy Smith, Member of Parliament and leading advocate on pornography and related issues. Mayor Fenik in his desire “to represent all of the people of Perth” is encouraged to attend this event. For more information about the campaign, upcoming events and helpful resources or to become involved, please visit www.beawarecoalition.ca or contact beawarecoalition@gmail.com Be Aware Coalition Perth

Council should take advice from Class EA Study DEAR EDITOR, The accident in which a young woman’s car veered off Riverside Drive, ending up in the Tay River, was most unfortunate. No doubt guardrails could have prevented the car’s plunge into the river. Notwithstanding, the comments made by several council members reported in the Perth Courier (October, 2014, Page 1&2 “Guardrails

proposed for Riverside Drive”) did not include any reference to the Perth Arterial Roadway Municipal Class EA Study dated 2007. Chapter 6.0, Section 6.5, Design Alternatives, Selection of the preferred alternatives, among other things, includes the following language: “The Preferred Alternative(s), based on the results of evaluation and consultation, are: Close the gravel portion of River Road

between Craig Street and Brock Street to improve the safety of the intersection of the new arterial [road] and Craig Street.” I would suggest that council review what has been recommended in this report as it was used as a key component in the presentation made to Lanark County in an effort to persuade the county to partner with Perth in the construction of the Arterial Road. If this road will

eventually be closed when the arterial road is constructed, placing guardrails might buy some insurance with respect to another unfortunate accident. But a more cost effective alternative might be to take the advice of the Class EA Study and close it now. Ross Preston Perth

Lifestyle - What a very active sports week we have had! There hasn’t been much new going on at St. John except for the amount of sports games we have been having! The senior and junior football team had games on Friday, Oct. 3 at Almonte. Unfortunately, both lost their games. The juniors started the game off strong with a 7-0 lead but were unable to maintain it against last year’s defending champions. The final score was 32-7 in favour of Almonte. The final score was 29-0 in favour of Almonte. The football teams next games are on Saturday, Oct. 11 in the annual Turkey Bowl at Notre Dame Catholic High School in Carleton Place, with noon and 2 p.m. kickoffs. Both volleyball teams had games on Wednes-

day and Friday. Wednesday’s regular season play, the juniors won one game and lost seven, placing them in fourth in the league standings. The seniors also won one game and lost seven games. (The losses were very narrow). Friday the junior team was in Brockville and the senior team was at La Salle Secondary School in Kingston for the day. They played La Salle but were not successful. Then they played Central Hastings and narrowly lost the first set 25-23, and went on to lose the second set as well. The next part of the day was the highlight of it. It was the skills competition. St. John senior team met up with SFDCI for the final match of the day and won. They won the first set and lost the second one, which meant that they ad to play and third set which they won. What a great way to end the day!

Community - It’s hard to believe that we are now in the sixth week of school already! With Thanksgiving coming soon, so will progress reports! Last Tuesday both junior and senior girls basketball teams travelled to Norte Dame in Carleton Place to have successfully defeated both girls basketball teams. The seniors final score was 55-21 with two leading scorers; Lindsay Bell and Mikeala Congreves. The juniors defeated ND with a score of 47-15; both teams played exceptionally well for rough games. This past Wednesday, the junior boys volleyball team travelled to Notre Dame to compete. The boys split the day, winning 4 of 8 games. Well done, team! Also last Wednesday, PDCI was well-represented in Prescott at the 2014 EOSSAA golf competition. Hayden Richmond shot an impressive 74 for 18 holes. This score secured him 3rd place out of 60

golfers, missing OFSSA by 1 stroke. Last Thursday PDCI hosted the girls basketball against Smiths falls district high school, the senior devils lost their first league game by one basket; 23-21. However the junior girls pulled off a win with Mekaylah Leach Rathwell as the leading scorer. Game score was 25-11 which puts the junior devils in first place. Great job! Well played, Hayden! Me to We is an organization that is a branch of Free the Children. The PDCI Me to We group meets every Tuesday at lunch in the learning commons; join us and help make a difference!

Let Jesus be your guardrail in life

From page P8

friends, where I go to recharge my batteries, and remember happy times and visits from my youth. But a technological hot spot, it is not. So, the letters were a good way to keep in touch. Brother Sean is also very tech savvy. Well into his senior years, he has a cell phone, has made CDs of Irish sporting heroes, and he knows his way around. But, rather than make him trawl through the latest candidate to file for Perth town council, I would select my best articles of the month to mail to him. He still writes to me, often describing the weather, how he is writing his latest epistle by the warm glow of the peat fire. Those too have had to stop. Remember how I said at the top that most people my age don’t know the price of a booklet of stamps? Well, I can tell you how much two booklets of domestic and two booklets of international stamps costs: $53. Add that up, and, well, it starts to add up over time. So, last month, I had to tell them that, apart from the occasional postcard and letter, that would be it. The tap has been turned off. Our letters, so often, provide a glimpse into our personal and family past. Somewhere in my archives, I found a letter my mother had written home to my father from Ireland. You can almost hear her shaking as she writes. She wrote the letter in the wake of the Dublin and Monaghan bombings, likely by loyalist paramilitaries, in 1974. She wrote how she was afraid to walk into town, wondering if the next car she walked by would have a bomb in it that would end her young life. This is truly living history.

I wonder if, in our instant and disposable world, our emails, tweets and texts would have the same emotional punch, or carry as much detail. How many emails have you ever printed off? So, Canada Post, I, the younger demographic you could least afford to lose, have essentially lost. I still mail birthday cards, though I am starting to wonder if following the herd and simply posting a “Happy Birthday” on someone’s wall on Facebook would not be a more efficient, less expensive and time consuming way of wishing someone the best of the day. Christmas cards are still on the list, but, even there, could their time be nearing the end? Canada Post provides a list of mailing times, when, if you want your package to get to, say, Asia or Africa, when they need to be in the post office by. Well, Christmas cards to my Japanese ‘daughter’ (former exchange student who we put up for two weeks in 2011) Mizuho, mailed at their correct time, and to my Chinese friend Liu Shan, arrived sometime in the New Year. China Post may have its problems, but Japan is a fellow G7 country, so, the argument that it is the fault of the receiving country’s postal service is not quite on. Worse still was my annual calendar exchange with our family friend Maureen of New Zealand. Ours arrived in December, but hers, mailed within the posted guideline times? It arrived in March. Less, and frequently unreliable, service, at a higher price? It’s not a recipe for success, and has certainly lost me.

Lifestyle - How do you deal with or handle problems in your life? We hear of suicides in our communities and it leaves so many questions, one being, how could I have helped? There are so many sayings out there: make lemonade out of the lemons, what does not kill you makes you stronger. I think I have heard them all. When we find ourselves in the middle of struggles and storms there are many who will give us advice. I read a story and I could relate to it so well. It talked of crossing over bridges. I walked over a railway bridge high over a river once, (I was young and foolish) I did not want to show those I was with how terrified I was so I kept my eye on the other side of the bridge and walked. The laugh was on me, as we arrived on firm ground, there was a sign saying “DO NOT WALK ACROSS TRAIN BRIDGE”. It was as large as could be, but visible only from the other side, so that meant we all turned around and walked back over the bridge to get back to

where we had come from. So here is the story. There is a reason bridges strike such fear into us at the thought of crossing over them. There is no problem driving a car across a bridge going 70 to 80 km/hr. One knows there is a big drop on either side, but you do not hug the guardrails or bump into the iron barrier on the way across. I am never tempted to get close to the edge. You negotiate the bridge as if there were no safety rails… but take away the scaffolding, guardrails, the concrete and steel side girders… you become a different driver. Now I can barely make it over at 5 km/hr. I If you are struggling today, turn can hardly make it 30 metres across to Jesus. Ask Him to come into your the bridge. This story rang true in my heart. life and reside with you. He is only I have had some medical scares in a breath away! John 3:16

Religion Today

the past few months, and from moving full speed ahead, all of a sudden I was crawling along. Gives new meaning to frozen in time. I have come to depend on the guardrails in my life. Jesus Christ died for me on the cross at Calvary because he loved me that much. His love not only forgives me but gives support to my weak life. He holds me up when I feel like giving up, when life throws another curve ball, Jesus is there for me to lean on. The words “With God, nothing is impossible,” has become part of my world. When I feel helpless and alone He is my friend and confidante, He is my family, He brings people into my life to help and support me. Yes, How do we deal with or handle problems in life? I look to Jesus the one who loves me, who knows me and who gives me strength for each day.

What was going on at the Perth Wildlife Reserve? Community - If you were one of the blue jays at the Perth Wildlife Reserve on a recent Saturday afternoon you would have seen children whooshing butterfly nets and waving plastic containers shouting, “Look what I found!” or “Ah, it got away!” You would also have observed adults taking bugs from nets and from little hands and putting them in a glass cage for viewing. Everybody was looking here and there - on plants, in the meadows, in the woods for bugs, butterflies and other creatures. Everybody was involved and having fun! The event was a Family Nature Hike organized by the Central Club of the Rideau Trail Association. Led by Jim Ronson, the nature guide, and Dorothy Hudson, the hike leader, the event was enjoyed by children ranging from preschool to junior high school ages, and by their parents, grandparents, friends and Central Club RTA members. With many pairs of eyes looking, we found many interesting creatures within a couple of hours. Highlights included: several meadow-hawk dragonflies (vicious creatures which attack things much bigger than themselves); a baby wood frog (the only Ontario frog that wears a mask); grasshoppers (their strong

hind legs make them good jumpers); a small painted turtle; and a baby water snake. Other discoveries included woolly bear caterpillars, crickets, butterflies, a spider, a bumblebee, and the blue jays who observed all the activity. Not only did we find animal creatures in the fields, Jim Ronson pointed out beautiful wild flowers that anybody would be proud to have in their garden, parachute seeds in the milk weed pods, spore cases on the ferns, a ‘muscle tree” in the woods, and a gorgeous clump of trees in fall colors. Later in the afternoon, over refreshments, Jim asked the participants what creature they liked the best. Answers varied, but it seemed to be a draw between the little painted turtle and the baby water snake. The Central Club of the Rideau Trail is trying to encourage children to become more involved with nature. Stay tuned for another family hike in the winter or spring. Adults interested in hiking with the Rideau Trail Association can visit our website at http://www.rideautrail. org/ or contact Dorothy Hudson, Chair of the RTA Central Club at 613-2830332 for more information.

News - If you love rocks, then you won’t want to miss this event! The Friends of Murphys Point Park are hosting a Geoheritage Tour on Saturday, Oct. 25 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to raise funds for the organization’s activities. The tour begins in Perth at the Crystal Palace/Tay Basin, where Dr. Allan Donaldson, retired professor of Earth Sciences at Carleton University, will conduct a walkabout of the site with interpretation of specimens of rock that can be found as part of the landscaping there. “Dr. Donaldson’s geodiversity tour gives a unique opportunity for us to learn about the relationship between the people who settled the area and the local geology that influenced their lives,” explains Tobi Kiesewalter, natural heritage education leader at Murphys Point Provincial Park. Next on the agenda is a bus trip to the park, with stops along the way to correspond with geological interpretation by Bradley Wilson, a consulting geologist and owner of Alpine Gems. Wilson has

developed a geology cycling loop from Perth to Murphys Point and back that highlights some of the interesting geological sites along the way. “Many of us drive past these rocky outcrops and features without giving them a second thought,” says Stephanie Gray, Friends of Murphys Point president. “Wilson’s interpretation tells us so much about how the geology of this area affected everything we see today. There are some very beautiful spots and stories hidden along our local roadways.” Upon arrival at Murphys Point, participants will be treated to a barbecue lunch hosted by the Friends, followed by a guided tour into the popular Silver Queen Mine led by Kiesewalter. “For those who have experience the cultural side of the tour that highlights the history of the people who lived and worked in the area, this hike provides a little more detail about the geology itself,” he explains. After the hike, the bus will return to Perth where, time permitting, participants can visit the Perth Museum to explore the beautiful geology display fea-

turing specimens from the collection of renowned amateur geologist Dr. James Wilson from the mid-1800s. Dr. Wilson is credited with discovering Perthite and Wilsonite. “Geology is a significant theme interpreted at Murphys Point, and this tour gives people a chance to learn more about the rocks beneath us and how they have influenced the development of this area while helping to support the activities of the Friends,” Gray adds. The Friends formed as a registered charity in 1995 and offers many and varied programs that are managed by a volunteer Board of Directors representative of the community. Programming is developed and carried out by dedicated volunteers on a year-round basis to meet the organization’s mandate to enhance the natural and cultural resources of Murphys Point Provincial Park, just 20 minutes from downtown Perth. Tickets for the Geoheritage Tour are $50 and are available through the Friends website at www.friendsofmurphyspoint. ca or by calling 613-264-0447. Pre-registration is required by Oct. 17.

ENERGY TIP!

Lanark native pens book News - Julie Paul, author of a recently-released book of shorts, Pull of the Moon, published by Brindle & Glass, has roots that run through Lanark County. Born and raised in Lanark Village, she’s a graduate of Perth and District Collegiate Institute. Currently living in British Columbia with her husband and daughter, Paul is planning a trip home in the spring. She says she misses her family here and wants to spend more than a few days with them when she does come back home. In an email exchange with The Perth Courier, Paul writes about her background that includes studying writing at the University of Victoria. She moved back to Ontario, changed gears and studied massage therapy, but she has lived in Victoria since 1992. She had a year also in Montreal. “I credit the wonderful English and writing teachers (at PDCI) for encouraging me to follow the path to writing,” she says. Her book of shorts was inspired in so many ways, she says. “Snippets of conversation, people watching, daily goings-on. I love short stories; for me, the best stories offer an intense, intimate glimpse into the lives of characters, usually at a moment of change. There are so many amazing short story writers to draw inspiration from; Canadians Alice Munro and Mavis Gallant were two of my first literary loves, and that still holds true today. Other favourites include Flannery O’Connor, Raymond Carver, Lorrie Moore, George Saunders, Wells Tower.”

She wrote these stories over the course of a few years – one dates back to 2006. Most of them came out of 2008; stories like the Jealousy Bone, Emdash Publishing. “I was fortunate this time around,” she says. “I sent this manuscript out to only a few places, and I got it accepted at a fantastic publishing house, Brindle & Glass, just a few months after beginning the process. The good thing about writing stories is that you can send them out to magazines and journals, one by one, and I was fortunate to have quite a few of these stories published this way before they ended up together in the book.” Currently, Paul says to stay tuned for publicity tours, book signings, as well as other writings. “I’ve been working on a novel for years now, set in Perth, in fact, about a jazz singer, her carpenter husband and his brother—a sort of tragic love triangle story. I’m also writing a book of poems that explore the idea of home, including many poems about the Lanark Highlands and the Lanark Fire of 1959. I’m not sure when they’ll be out, but fingers are crossed that I’ll find a willing publisher soon,” she says. Besides writing, Paul says she also enjoys tennis, swimming in lakes and reading… as well as baking cookies. The book is available across the country at bookstores, online via her publisher as well as on Amazon & Chapters Indigo — both in print and as an e-book. It’s also available at Backbeat Books in Perth. Visit http://www. brindleandglass.com/book_details. php?isbn_upc=9781927366325 to obtain a copy or check out her website at www.juliepaul.ca.

The Lanark County Grannies thank the people of Lanark County for their ongoing support and hope to see a great turnout for a fabulous evening on Oct. 24. Tickets are limited so don’t be disappointed, get yours early! About the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign The Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign seeks to build solidarity, raise awareness and mobilize support in Canada for Africa’s grandmothers. Since 2006, some 240 groups of Canadian grandmothers have taken up the call to action. To date, the campaign has raised more than $21 million for African grandmothers and the children in their care. SLF has directed these funds to partners - community-level organizations in 15 sub-Saharan African countries that provide grandmothers with much needed support, such as nutritious food, adequate housing and bedding, school fees and supplies for their grandchildren, grief counselling, support groups and HIV awareness training. To learn more about these organizations and how the Stephen Lewis Foundation is making a significant difference in the lives of these women and their grandchildren as they work to turn the tide of HIV and AIDS in their communities, please visit www.stephenlewisfoundation.org .

News – Perth’s Youth Action Kommittee (YAK) is hoping to establish a regular night for parents, in the hopes that that will lead to the founding of a parents’ group. “A part of servicing the youth is servicing the parents,” explained Kim Angell, the co-organizer for the first evening, scheduled for 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 15. It is hoped that the nights will be held on the third Wednesday of every month, with the next one planned for Nov. 19, though, considering the Christmas rush, Angell said that the December edition will likely be skipped over to the New Year on Jan. 21. The nights will provide “information on what could be going on with their kids, and how to relate to their kids,” said Angell during a telephone interview this past Monday. “It’s an hour-long time for the adults to come in… (and) a chance for parents to come in and become more comfortable with YAK as a place for their kids to be.

News - Remember the good old days when you smelled wonderful aromas and hurried home for delicious comfort food made by your granny on a chilly autumn night? Then, come out to The Lanark County Grannies 2014 Fall Event – Comedy’s Cookin’ with the Grannies in Perth on Friday, Oct. 24 at the Perth Legion – an evening of warm comfort food, good company, great comedy, door prizes, and a terrific silent auction. Entertainment will be provided by Lanark County’s own comedy improv group, Sage Age Theatre. This fall fundraiser is an important event for the Lanark County Grannies and all proceeds from this fantastic evening will be donated to the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign in support of African grandmothers turning the tide of AIDS in Africa. Doors open at 5 p.m. and dinner will be served at 6 p.m. Tickets are $25 per person and are available at Shadowfax in Perth. Cash bar will be provided by the Legion. The Grannies will be cooking up a storm to offer food like you remember; shepherd’s pie, chicken pot pie, mac and cheese and much, much more. There will be great salads, breads, and delicious homemade desserts just like your Grandmother used to make! The Grannies love to laugh and are really pleased to present The Sage Age Theatre for the evening’s entertainment. Sage Age Theatre is Canada’s first improvisational seniors’ theatre and is celebrating over 20 years of laughter! Their show is guaranteed to be funny, entertaining and thought-provoking. No situation is too delicate to handle from grandchildren or

an opportunity for parents to know parents. You don’t have to be a parent of a child who uses YAK services” to attend. The first speaker will be local author and public speaker Calvin Neufeld, who will be discussing suicide. She and her co-workers got the idea from parents picking up their children from their facility on 1 Sherbrooke St., where they would hear their concerns, and questions, about their kids. “It’s not easy being a parent,” said Angell. “We help bridge that gap. They feel a lot more secure knowing that their kids are in a safe place.” She hopes that the regular meetings will be “our beginning steps” into a more formal parents group. While the parents may be in one room while the youth are in another for their programming, depending on the topic, the parents will be able to take part in an activity that knows no age limit – food. YAK runs a free dinner for kids that attending parents can take part in too after their free night.

Add your veggie to the stone soup in front of Town Hall on Oct. 16 News - Most of us have heard one version or another of the tale Stone Soup. A weary traveller comes to a town where food is a scarcity. The townspeople hide what food they have and turn the stranger away. No matter, he puts a large pot of water on a fire and, with a flourish, adds a smooth stone to the pot, declaring a delicious pot of stone soup is in the making. Curious, the townspeople venture over to find out more. While delicious all on its own, this soup would be so much better with a bit of cabbage says the traveller. One of the locals brings forward a bit of cabbage to add to the pot. The traveller is pleased and mentions that the soup might be even tastier with a few carrots and another community member comes forward with carrots. This continues on with more and more people coming forward to add

more vegetables and seasoning until there is a rich, delicious soup for everyone to share together. A town suffering from scarcity finds it has more than enough food for everyone. October 16 is World Food Day. Founded in 1945 by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization this day has been observed annually since 1981 to increase awareness of world hunger and poverty and to inspire solutions for world change. This year the Table CFC is marking the day, with the support of the Town of Perth, by setting up in front of Town Hall and making up a big batch of Stone Soup. Community Chef Judy Dempsey will get the pot going at 12 noon. Please stop by throughout the day to add a veggy to this soup to help make it truly nourishing and delicious, then come on back for a serving of Stone Soup at 5 p.m.- bring your

own mug! There are as many recipes for Stone Soup as there are versions of the well know tale. The Table CFC is using this tried and true recipe: one large pot, one smooth stone and one amazing community. Join us at Town Hall on Thursday October 16th and add your veggy to the pot! To make sure that everyone in our community has enough, good food please donate to The Table’s Harvest Campaign, beginning October 10th. You may mail a cheque to The Table Community Food Centre at 190 Gore Street East, Perth, K7H 1K3, or Photo submitted drop it off and stay for a visit.

First, I will propose having video cameras and microphones installed in council chambers to tape all meetings for a permanent record. Secondly, I will propose a change in meeting times to accommodate our working population who may wish to attend our committee and council meetings.

will offset costs without compromising services. Over the last eight years I have demonstrated my ability to make decisions that are in the best interest of the ratepayers but they haven’t always aligned with my colleagues. Fiscal responsibility Council needs to ensure that Lanark Highlands is fiscally sustainable and that ratepayers are able to afford a good quality of life. I will support the creation of a task force to review each operational department to determine where savings can be achieved. Open government

Planning ahead In my view, strategic planning is essential to accomplishing long term goals for the township. I will work with all of council and staff to develop a multi-year action plan that will set the direction for the next term. We cannot afford to continue to maintain the status quo. Lanark Highlands needs to be progressive. In order for the township to prosper, it is essential to look at new ways of attracting more residential development and businesses. Planning for economic development is crucial to increase the tax base. I believe it is the role of the Mayor to explore opportunities using available local resources to make the Highlands more economically viable in the future. New leader. New vision. New direction.

New opportunity for Kelso who seeks seat in Lanark Highlands

News – The following information was provided to The Perth Courier from Laurene (Jeannie) Kelso, who is looking for a seat on council in Lanark Highlands Township. In her words: I have lived in McDonalds Corners for the past 15 years as a fulltime resident. I was a stay-at-home mom for most of this time, volunteering in my community until returning to the work force. I have had several jobs, all rewarding. I am currently working as a gardener. This is my first attempt at public office and I look forward to serving the citizens of Lanark Highlands and being a voice for the people of Ward 5.

As I have been meeting the residents of Ward 5 I am learning that several issues are of concern; the local dump, policing costs and the fire departments to name a few. I would like to see and feel safe in my community and I do not think it is too much to ask that we have confidence in our council to be accountable and transparent in how they spend our hard earned tax dollars. I will be accountable and accessible to the constituents of Ward 5, my door is always open, and I am willing to listen and learn. I would like to be a team player for Lanark Highlands and ask you for your support. Email jeannie.kelso@bell.ca.

News - Local charities can now apply for funds for 2015 from the Perth and District Community Foundation. “Our granting period is officially open,” stated Steve Hillier, president. “We encourage local charities to apply for funding and demonstrate how their projects help to build the capacity of individuals, organizations and the community.” The Foundation, a registered charity serving the western half of Lanark County, manages an endowment fund created through charitable donations and gifts, many in form of bequests. The money is pooled and invested, and the interest income distributed annually as grants to charities that provide services to members of the community. Eligible agencies are those that are R0012934236_1009

News – The following information was received via email from Brian Stewart, who is seeking election in Lanark Highlands as the mayor. I have been part of the community for the past 40 years. During my first term as a councillor of Lanark Highlands, I worked and managed an automotive business full time as well as continuing with property management. More recently, I committed myself completely to being the deputy mayor and councillor. I have participated on many township and county committees and working groups including two years as the chair of the committee-ofthe-whole meetings. It is during my meeting preparation and research that I have truly gained the knowledge and insight into the various areas that affect the residents of Lanark Highlands. My track record as a councillor and deputy mayor confirms my role as custodian over how tax dollars are spent and I expect to be held accountable. I have had the pleasure and honour to serve as the deputy mayor of Lanark Highlands for four years and Ward 6 councillor for eight years. I am running for mayor because I feel the people of Lanark Highlands deserve a strong leader. The challenges that are facing the township such as reduced federal and provincial funding as well as high taxes and rising OPP costs will have a significant effect on the ratepayer’s ability to pay. As mayor I can provide the leadership required to look for efficiencies that

Sachs vies for council spot in Drummond/North Elmsley Township

News – The following information was received by this newspaper from George W. Sachs who is seeking election in Drummond North Elmsley. My name is George W. Sachs aka G.W. I have lived in Lanark County for most of my life and am proud to call it home. I am a licensed automotive service technician by trade and personal trainer at heart. I work at a busy dealership in the county. I have had the pleasure of coaching for the Perth & District Little League for two years at the T-ball and rookie levels and will return next year. I prefer being outdoors and enjoy 4x4ing and fishing, whenever possible. My political views are from the right side of things. I believe in limited government that is accountable to the citizens/voters. I feel that the balance has shifted

to where the people fear the government instead of the government fearing the people. I think people are getting tired of being told what they can and cannot do on their own property. I am concerned that well-intentioned environmentalism has been hijacked by environmental extremism, in many cases. The next four years will present important decisions that will affect my family and yours, for many years to come, and I want to be involved in those decisions. My goal is to inform the people of North Elmsley what is happening in their community and how it will affect them. I will ask the tough questions when presented with new studies and projects that could take away our rights. I want my children to live in a free and prosperous society, without being shamed for daring to have their own intellectual thought

Jordan seeks seat in Tay Valley Township

up over years of following politics and policies on a daily basis. I am known for my work ethic, honesty and no nonsense approach to life and work. I feel that we are drifting away from our constitutional values and we all know that is a dangerous, slippery slope. I hope this puts some light on my platform and what I stand for. I am asking for your vote on October 27, 2014. Email gwsachs@hotmail.com

News – The following information was received by Wayne Jordan via email. He is seeking election in Tay Valley Township. I have lived in Tay Valley my entire life. I own the farm where my paternal grandparents lived and raised their family. I chose to run for the position of councilor ten years ago because I was not satisfied with the actions of the council at that time. I was successful in winning a seat in my first and second term and was acclaimed in the last election. I believe Tay Valley has improved in the past few years but there is more

to be done and I want to be part of the team going forward. I feel that three of the most pressing issues for the next term of Council will be dealing with the huge cost of the upcoming OPP costing formula, pushing back on some of the regulations handed down from the Province which cost our Municipality a huge amount of dollars and as always improving our infrastructure of roads and bridges. It is my hope that in the years ahead Tay Valley will maintain its rural heritage but also keep pace with modern times and technology. R0012465537_1219

George W. Sachs that might go against the community norms. I feel strongly that there needs to be a voice for the younger families in the community. I feel that I am a good leader and have a lot to positively add to any situation. I am always open to hearing a new and different perspective

on things, as I have lots to learn. I am constantly expanding my knowledge by reading, surfing the internet, listening to talk radio, attending conferences, and asking for opinions from friends and coworkers on current events. I have a good base of knowledge that has been built

Perth trades Barr in blockbuster deal Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

Sports – The Perth Jr. B Blue Wings are struggling to climb out of the EOJHL basement after dropping their seventh consecutive game Friday night at home to the Metcalfe Jets, 5-2. “We keep shooting ourselves in the foot,” said Colin Glenn, head coach and general manager. “There were a lot of mental mistakes.” But that wasn’t the big news coming out of the weekend. The Blue Wings traded veteran player/captain Blair Barr to the Almonte Thunder. In return, they got five players. “It was an offer we couldn’t refuse,” said Glenn. “And Blair was really mature about it. We got five players in the deal and

they all played Friday night and I was pleased with their efforts.” In that trade were Calvin Wheatley, Anthony Meehan, Cameron Cornwall and Kyle Weedmark. Almonte also traded the rights to Brock Saunders. Against Metcalfe Friday night, the Jets dominated the opening period with three unanswered goals. Andrew Burke scored twice and Jordan Malette had the single. In the second, the Blue Wings got on the board with Cole Timchuk’s goal from Bryan Fancy and Dylan Brind’Amour at 4:23. Andrew Davis scored on the power play at 12:32 with help from Timchuk and Bradley Stitt as they trailed 3-2 at the buzzer. Metcalfe shot back in the third

period with two more goals from Joey Farago at 1:28 and Malette at 9:44. The winning goalie was Anthony Salahor with 35 saves while Brind’Amour was hit with the loss in the Perth net with 19 saves. “If the work ethic wasn’t there, it would be frustrating,” noted the coach. “But they’re working hard. We need to minimize the mistakes.” The Blue Wings will host the Ottawa Canadians on Friday night, 7:30 p.m. “We’ve just got to go out there and rattle them a bit, throw the body around,” said Glenn. “It should be a good weekend.” Laurie Weir/METROLAND Sunday they travel to Shawville to take on the Pontiacs Joel Cunningham (22) and Andy Scattolon (10) try to put the Blue Wings on the board in in a 3 p.m. game. the second period, but Metcalfe goalie Anthony Salahor makes the save.

Perth Girl Guides help keep town tidy News - Last week Perth Guides and Pathfinders spent their time cleaning up the environment and helping keep Perth beautiful. The girls volunteer twice a year to spend an evening of their time to clean up a section of roadway in front of the Lanark County building and Lanark Lodge on the Christie Lake Road. We always have a good turn out to help with this project so it only takes between 60 and 90 minutes to clear the 1 kilometer section of garbage and debris. The girls are always surprised by the things they find along the side of the road and frequently wonder why such items would be tossed out of a car window. They worry about what might happen to local animals who might try to eat a coffee cup or become tangled in a discarded plastic bag. They fully understand the importance of the clean-up task and their concern keeps them coming back to help. Community and environmental service is a key part of the Girl Guide program for all ages. Girl Guides of Canada want the girl to learn to appreciate the environment that they live in and know that anyone, no matter what their age, can help to make a difference. Learning how we can help to preserve and protect the green spaces in and around Perth is an annual goal for our local units. The girls spent this past Saturday at Last Duel Park investigating

the Tay River water and the wild life that calls the river home. They (the girls) learned how to purify the water from the river to make it safe to drink and why it is very important to both humans and animals to be careful of what goes into the townsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; storm drains. We currently have units for all ages running in Perth, from Sparks for girls aged five and six, Brownies aged seven to eight, Guides aged nine to 11 and Pathfinders aged 12 to 14. However, we are in dire need of volunteers at all levels to keep the programs running. Drop by one of our meetings to inquire how you can help or to get more information on becoming a leader and to find out what is required to be a leader. Sparks and Brownies meet on Mondays from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at Stewart School and Guides and Pathfinders meet on Tuesdays from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church. No experience with the program is required. If you have a daughter who would like to know more about Girl Guides, drop by and join us for a meeting. We will soon be celebrating 100 years of guiding in the town of Perth. Help us maintain that long tradition by keeping the units in Perth running.

Sensational!

Volunteers rock Otty Lake’s Phase II smallmouth bass habitat enhancement project News - On Sept. 15 and 16 the Otty Lake Association and Rideau Valley Conservation Authority created and moved an unbelievable amount of wood structures and rock material to create more fish habitat in Otty Lake. This is Phase II of the Otty Lake Fish Habitat Enhancement Project and is the largest smallmouth bass habitat enhancement project in eastern Ontario. Volunteers gave hours of their time and the use of their personal boats and pontoons to make Otty Lake an enviable habitat for fish. A huge thank you to Otty Lake Association and

all their volunteers who worked a total of 240 hours! Over the two days volunteers installed 83 spawning beds, sunk 185 wooden clusters that provide shelter and feeding habitat and 58 large rocks (cornerstones) at various nests which provides cover for dedicated smallmouth bass fathers as they brood their young. This new habitat brings the totals to 175 spawning beds, 335 sunken wood clusters and 58 cornerstones. We know from this spring’s monitoring that nests installed in Phase I are being used by smallmouth bass. And, with the new habitat

created in Phase II, more bass will have the opportunity to successfully raise their young and increase fish populations in Otty Lake. “I am thrilled with the results of this productive partnership between RVCA and Otty Lake Association,” said Jennifer Lamoureux, RVCA’s Aquatic and Fish Habitat Biologist. “This partnership has achieved so much with very few dollars and required just a lot of hard work from folks who are passionate about the health of their lake.” Monitoring of the new habitat will continue and results will be released in late spring 2015.

ONTARIO ENERGY BOARD NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS OF UNION GAS LIMITED Union Gas Limited has applied to raise its natural gas rates effective January 1, 2015 Learn more. Have your say. Union Gas Limited has applied to the Ontario Energy Board to increase its natural gas rates effective January 1, 2015. Under the proposal, an average residential customer of Union Gas in Southern Ontario (from Windsor to Hamilton) would see an increase ranging from $2 to $3 to the annual bill. Residential customers in all the other areas served by Union Gas would see an increase ranging from $3 to $5 to their average annual bill. Other customers, including businesses, may also be affected. The requested rate increase is set using a formula previously approved by the Board for the period 2014-2018. The formula is tied to inflation and other factors intended to promote efficiency. THE ONTARIO ENERGY BOARD WILL HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) will hold a public hearing to consider Union Gas’ request. We will question the company on its case for a rate change. We will also hear arguments from individuals and from groups that represent Union Gas customers. At the end of this hearing, the OEB will decide what, if any, rate changes will be allowed. The OEB is an independent and impartial public agency. We make decisions that serve the public interest. Our goal is to promote a financially viable and efficient energy sector that provides you with reliable energy services at a reasonable cost. BE INFORMED AND HAVE YOUR SAY You have the right to information regarding this application and to be involved in the process. You can: • review Union Gas Limited’s application on the OEB’s website now. • file a letter with your comments, which will be considered during the hearing. • become an active participant (called an intervenor). Apply by October 20, 2014 or the hearing will go ahead without you and you will not receive any further notice of the proceeding. • at the end of the process, review the OEB’s decision and its reasons on our website. LEARN MORE Our file number for this case is EB-2014-0271. To learn more about this hearing, find instructions on how to file letters or become an intervenor, or to access any document related to this case please enter that file number at the OEB website: www.ontarioenergyboard.ca/notice. You can also phone our Consumer Relations Centre at 1-877-632-2727 with any questions. ORAL VS. WRITTEN HEARINGS There are two types of OEB hearings – oral and written. The OEB will determine at a later date whether to proceed by way of a written or oral hearing.

PRIVACY If you write a letter of comment, your name and the content of your letter will be put on the public record and the OEB website. However, your personal telephone number, home address and email address will be removed. If you are a business, all your information will remain public. If you apply to become an intervenor, all information will be public. This rate hearing will be held under section 36 of the Ontario Energy Board Act, S.O. 1998 c.15 (Schedule B).

Theatre Night in Merrickville plans gala dinner event for health centre Community – On Oct. 24 and 25, Theatre Night in Merrickville (TNIM) presents a Gala Dinner Theatre in honour of the Merrickville District Health Centre’s 40th anniversary. Funds from the event will go to the centre’s urgent patient resource fund. The evening, to be held at the Merrickville Community Centre, will consist of two one-act plays along with a sumptuous meal catered by Gads Hill Place. During the meal of scallops wrapped in bacon, chicken cordon brie and assorted desserts local musicians will be playing elegant instrumental music. Bronwen McKnight will be directing Paper Trail by Sean Lang. This story is about an unfortunate girl who finds herself pregnant and gives her child up to The Sisters of Mercy. The story of Paper Trail revolves around this baby, as an adult, trying to find her mother. It is told in two time lines, the 1940s girl Joan and Sister Mary, and the present times Angela and archive office keeper, Mel. As Angela tells her story, and convinces Mel to search through the birth records to find her mother, a mystery is uncovered. Mel must make a decision how to handle it. Veteran TNIM actor Ann McLaughlin plays the part of Sister Mary with a stern but loving hand. Along with Alyson Reid who plays Angela, a woman yearning for closure, looking for her mother. Heddy Sorour is the overworked Mel, dealing with the expectations of her office, and mother troubles of her own. The part of Joan will be played newcomer

Emilie Westbrook. Original TNIM member Timothy Molloy directs Augustus Does His Bit by George Bernard Shaw, with veteran actors Michael Phillips as Augustus, Connie Coleman as “the woman” and Victor Suthern as the clerk, Beamish. This play set during First World War is a satirical, political and social comedy that pokes fun at English society. The

dialogue between the clerk and Gus is witty and provides brilliant observations that manifest the inequitable position of the working class and the stupidity of war. Those interested should make reservations before Oct. 20 by calling 613-269-2976. Submitted by Helen Steenburgh, Theatre Night in Merrickville.

Theatre Night in Merrickville will celebrate Merrickville District Health Centre’s 40th anniversary Oct. 24 and 25 with a Gala Dinner Theatre.

David Fincher’s Gone Girl twisted, unnerving and brilliant MOVIE: Gone Girl STARRING: Ben Affleck, Rosamund Pike, Carrie Coon, Neil Patrick Harris, Kim Dickens and Tyler Perry DIRECTOR: David Fincher RATING: 14A Entertainment – I have seen some messed up movies over the years. Movies that were truly twisted. Gone Girl is on a whole other level. It begins when Nick (Ben Affleck) comes home, and can’t find his wife Amy (Rosamund Pike). He finds signs of a struggle, so he calls the police. Detective Rhonda Boney (Kim Dickens) gets the call, and begins the investigation right away. They start a man hunt for Amy believing she has been abducted. The media gets a hold of the story, and it goes from a local missing person to a nationwide search for Amy. Then Detective Boney finds evidence of a blood pool in Nick’s kitchen, and it’s suddenly a murder investigation. Nick becomes the prime suspect. His life is put under a microscope, and it doesn’t look good. He’s been lying to police about his life with Amy, a life that’s far from perfect. The more the media and the police dig, the guiltier Nick looks. Even his sister Margo (Carrier Coon) starts to have doubts.

Just when you think it can’t get any worse for Nick the film flashes back to tell the story from Amy’s point of view. That’s when the film gets really twisted. That’s when you begin to realize just how bad it really is for Nick. My criteria for judging a film is simple. I try to determine the film’s goal, and if the film is successful in achieving its goal. If the goal of a movie is to make you laugh, and you laugh then it’s a good movie. As near as I can figure the goal of Gone Girl is to draw you into a seemingly simple murder

My Take

mystery, then make your jaw hit the floor in total bewilderment, and finally make you feel frustrated and angry. In this Gone Girl is perhaps one of the most successful films ever made.

more films? She is incredible. I’ve always been a fan of Ben Affleck and his work. This film however is something special. This performance is something special. Rosamund Pike is a gifted actor with the kind of range that means she can play almost any part. After seeing her as Amy I’ve decided she isn’t just gifted, but extraordinary. Gone Girl is twisted, unnerving and even frustrating. It’s also brilliant. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

This isn’t a psychological movie, it’s a psychopathic movie. I was utterly drawn into its story, and mesmerized by its characters. It got to the point where I couldn’t wait to see where this ﬁlm would take me next, and it was never where I anticipated. Neil Patrick Harris, Tyler Perry and Kim Dickens are really good.

Battery tenders and winter storage up for discussion this week I did a review on Battery Tenders (from Deltran Corp.) some time ago with great help from an area distributor who provided tons of relevant information. Their product info is correct; you should not have to disconnect the negative cable on the vehicle and their product should not cause any problems with the vehicle’s systems. These chargers are available in a variety of sizes and power ratings and all have a very sophisticated electronic control system to prevent overcharging. However if you are going to be starting and running the vehicle several times a week and those runs take it up to operating temps you shouldn’t need to worry about the battery’s charge state. This may change three or four years out when the battery degrades. If you make a short trip, ensure you give the battery a chance to recharge from the vehicle’s charging system by limiting electrical draws such as keeping the blower off high speed or by keeping the engine revs high in slow trafﬁc by selecting a lower gear at times. Your RAV4 has a system to minimize energy drains after one hour of engine-off by putting unneeded processors to ‘sleep’. “Hello Brian, I’m sure this is a subject that you have covered in earlier Car Counsellor columns.

like to store for the winter months. I would appreciate any suggestions/ recommendations you might have as to what steps I should take to ensure that there are no negative effects from my car sitting unused for this extended period. I have read many conflicting opinions on the Internet as to what is the correct way to store a vehicle for an extended period; it also occurs to me that many cars sit on dealers’ lots for several months at a time during winter without any form of preparation. I also wonder what steps people take with the hundreds of RVs I see stored out in the open on various storage facilities around the city. I would seriously appreciate any advice/comments you might have.” Thank you, Martin Congrats on your MX5, a great car! Here are a few thoughts for storage. I’m assuming it will be inside. 1. Change oil and filter only if the vehicle is close to needing one. 2. Fill the fuel tank 3. Check all fluids and

ing compound (available at most auto parts stores) and spray all the rubber door seals and trunk lid seals and the rubber convertible seals. Do not spray this on the top or any of its stitching. Spray the tires with it, as well and any rubber hoses under the hood. 12. Get some aromatic peppermint oil (available at any health food store) and dilute it 10:1 (10 parts water: 1 part oil) with warm water in a hand spray bottle. Spritz the ﬂoor carpet lightly and the trunk area and under the hood. This will keep the critters from making nests in your vehicle. You may have to repeat this once or twice over the winter depending on the critter population in your garage. 13. Cover the vehicle with a good quality, breathable car cover not a plastic sheet or tarp. If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, [By email to emc@perfprint.ca or directly to bjoeturner@hotmail.com listing ‘Question for the Car Counsellor’ on the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 5 Lorne St., P.O. Box 158, Smiths Falls, ON K7A 4T1]. When using regular mail, please supply a phone number if you seek direct contact (due to volume, I can’t always promise replies). Yours in service, Brian Turner

Lay a sheet of heavy plastic on floor under vehicle (if stored in unheated garage) to keep moisture from seeping up and causing undercarriage rust. 6. Lay plastic or paper-towel under the wipers to keep them from sticking to the glass. 7. Leave the convertible top up. 8. Do not leave the parking brake on. 9. If the vehicle will not be moved at all during winter, consider jacking the vehicle and placing it on four jack-stands to take the weight off the wheels. This will prevent flat spots on the tires. If you’ve never used stands before, get some advice from your service provider on where to place them. 10. Don’t disconnect the battery (too many headaches with electronics and anti-theft systems). For the first few winters you shouldn’t have to charge or maintain the battery. But after three years, unless you can start and run the vehicle monthly, consider getting a battery tender. It can be left on all winter and will automatically turn off when the battery reaches full charge. 11. Get a can of silicone lubricat-

Lifestyle – “Hi Brian, I recently bought a new 2014 RAV4 Limited and I’d really appreciate your help. The RAV4 has a Smart Key and lots of power-consuming bells and whistles, including a power lift-gate. You know how cold our winters can be. The RAV4 will not be in daily use, it may be started only several times a week. I’d like to use a Battery Tender Plus (a highly-developed battery charger) to keep the battery at peak charge when the car is not in frequent use. Over the years, I’ve used a Battery Tender on the batteries from my motorcycles, Land Rovers and even two London Taxis. However, in those cases the batteries were removed from the vehicle during winter storage and were hooked up to the Battery Tender in my shop. My owner’s manual indicates I should disconnect the battery ground cable before attaching a battery charger. I would rather not disconnect the ground cable because of the restarting complications related to the Smart Key. My question: Can I safely use my Battery Tender Plus without disconnecting the battery and without risking any damage to the electronic systems? Thank you in advance for your assistance.” Best regards, Murray

Return to ‘Midsummer’ with Mudds youth Oct. 17 to 19 Wendy Jewell

Arts – Summer comes back to Carleton Place from Oct. 17 through Oct. 19 when the Mississippi Mudds present William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. A group of young actors aged nine through 17 will take us back to the night of July 21 when their characters spent the night in the dark forest under the magical spell of the Forest King, Oberon (Sean Patton) through his sidekick and jester Puck (Maddy Martin). Four young lovers dispatch themselves to the forest: Hermia (Maleeka Thaker) to avoid her father Egeus’ (Amber Berndt) wish that she marry Demetrius (Molly Cooney). Demetrius has spurned

the love of Helena (Lydia Charron) as a result of Egeus’ approval that he marry Hermia and is undeterred by the fact that Hermia doesn’t want him. So Demetrius follows Hermia to the forest when she steals away in the night to meet her lover Lysander (Callum LeRoy), Helena chasing Demetrius in her quest to regain his love. Enter Puck who executes Oberon’s plan to sprinkle love juice in the sleeping eyes of his own wife and Queen of the Spirits Titania (Emilie Ritchie) out of revenge. Puck also mistakenly applies the love potion to various characters, creating conflict and mayhem in which Puck delights and which creates unintended consequences for Oberon. Meanwhile in the mortal

world, a group of Theseus’ (Hayley Fortier) staff has decided to enact a play for his and Hippolyta’s (Jasmine Coleman) wedding celebration. Having succumbed to Puck’s love potion, the over-confident and under-competent leader of the players Nick Bottom (Katie Irvine) has unknowingly been transformed into an ass and become the object of Titania’s magic-induced love. The rest of the players (Levi Albert, Clark Bains, Amber Berndt, Peter Irvine), continue to prepare for their performance under the reluctant leadership of Peter Quince (Kate Bains) while Titania’s attendants Cobweb (Kirra Martin), Moth (Holley Churchill), Mustardseed (Sarah Parent) and Peaseblossom (Claire Campbell) are doting on Bottom at her direction. This dramatic journey to the summer forest began in June for this talented cast of characters. They have been directed by veteran Shakespeare director Mark Piper who

trusts that the words of Shakespeare will speak for themselves and tell Shakespeare’s story through these young and accomplished actors. Piper has continued to invest in deepening the knowledge, experience and talent of our region’s youth by giving one of the original Mudds Shakespeare actors (Leah West) the opportunity to contribute off-stage to the production in the role of assistant director. The journey to the midsummer forest will culminate in four performances at the Carleton Place Town Hall with addition of sounds, lights and costumes on Oct. 17 at 7:30 p.m., Oct. 18 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. and Oct. 19 at 2 p.m. Please come and see the turn of events which allows Oberon to conclude, “So shall the couples three ever true in loving be.” Tickets for A Midsummer Night’s Dream are $10 and are available from Reads Book Shop, 135 Bridge Street (613-257-7323).

British Home Child Day celebrated in Athens with full day of activities British Home Child Family (OEBHCF) was the emcee. Rev. Bruce Demitroff opened in prayer, followed by a moment of silence and a violin lament played by Denise Bowes. Leeds-Grenville MP Gord Brown, United Counties of Leeds and Grenville warden Ron Holman, Athens mayor Herb Scott, and Athens and Area Heritage Society chair Kathryn Hudson brought greetings and remarks. Afterwards, the crowd dispersed to visit the many displays at the Joshua Bates Centre and Athens Museum. A program of speakers took place at the Baptist Church. One of those speakers was Joan Donavan O’Malley, the daughter of Home Child Ken Donovan. She told about a Friday afternoon in the autumn of 1964 when an urgent request came from Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson to her father’s desk. Donovan was then a purchasing director with the Canadian government. Prototypes of the proposals for the new flag were needed for the next morning. One proposal was the single maple leaf design. Since no seamstress could be found, the flags were stitched together by his young daughter, Joan. At first she did not realize the magnitude of the occasion. Sewing it was not easy she recalled but the flags were completed in time. She also

mentioned the role of John Matheson, a Brockville resident, respected area judge and MP who was instrumental in the creation of the new flag. It was exciting to think that 50 years later this “Canadian Betsy Ross” was in Athens to tell of her experience and participate in a Home Child event honouring young immigrants like her father. He did not have an easy time. He was small for his age as many home children were, often being undernourished. She told of his heartbreak at being left in a home, being known by others as number 42 rather than his name, overcoming early hardships in Canada and later raising a family and serving his country in many ways. Joan also had a display that included the original sewing machine she had used. When compared to Betsy Ross it can be noted that Betsy was only a legend, a friend of George Washington. Joan O’Malley really did sew the first flag! Another highlight of the day was the Nunney medals display. Claude Nunney was also a home child. He was initially placed in an orphanage in Ottawa and later with a family in Glengarry County. In March 1915 he enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Force, and served with the 38th Infantry Battalion. Before winning the Victoria Cross, he had already received the Distinguished Conduct

Medal and the Military Medal. He was awarded the Victoria Cross posthumously for his bravery demonstrated in September 1918 in France. Nunney went forward through a heavy barrage of enemy fire, encouraged his comrades, and inspired their victory. Severely wounded on that day, Nunney died on Sept. 18, 1918. John Sayers, noted genealogist and home child historian, had many resources to help visitors search for information on their ancestry as did local historian Lois Stanford and Myrtle Johnston of the local genealogy association. One of those assisted was Elaine Farley, who interacted with the crowd by portraying a caregiver to a home child. She carried a Pilgrim’s Progress which once belonged to Home Child Janet Rodger. She’d hoped to give it to one of her family members if one could be found. Sayers was able to ascertain that there could be family members in this area and more investigation is possible in trying to connect with them. Author Fred Wardle provided a display and spoke as well. The OEBHCF as well as other participants had displays about their ancestors and were able to share with each other and with those in attendance. Children’s activities and refreshments were available. An addition was provided to the

Athens tourism guide to provide guests with a walking tour which noted various home child connections in the village. The graves of home children who were buried in the Athens cemetery were marked with sunflowers, a home child symbol. The Athens Museum which includes First World War and local Home Child exhibits was open for the day and had a constant flow of visitors. The speakers at the Baptist Church included presentations about local home child Jimmy Paterson, who provided the Home Child monuments many years ago as a lasting tribute. The story of police chief Scottie MacLean was also told. There was an “open mike” time as well when many in the audience contributed memories and stories about Home Children. Pleas were made for memories or information to be written down in order to preserve this valuable heritage. Athens Museum was thrilled to have more stories and information of local home children for inclusion into their archives and urged others to still come forward with anything that could assist in this endeavour. In 2015, the Home Child event moves to Brockville Museum close to the site of the Fairknowe Home where many Quarrier Home Children first came after leaving their homeland.

Community – The radiant sunshine and brightly coloured leaves matched the spirits of those who came to remember, honour and celebrate the lives of British Home Children in Athens Sept. 27. It was a day to pay tribute to the “little immigrants”. As one speaker noted, “…those who came with so little, but gave back so much.” There were some 100,000 British Home Children who were sent to Canada from the United Kingdom and Ireland from the late 1860s to the mid-1930s. Most of these children were relocated in Canada through some 50 different agencies. Many worked as indentured domestic servants or farm workers and most eventually resided in Ontario. Today, there are more than four million Canadian descendants of British Home Children. It is the mission of the Ontario East British Home Child Family, in co-operation with the Athens and Area Heritage Society, to “give a voice” to all British Home Children and preserve this important history. The day began with opening ceremonies at the Home Child monument next to the cenotaph. It was also a time to consider those children who were war veterans, especially in relation to the anniversaries of the World Wars. Gloria Tubman of the Ontario East

Antique 1924 Model T Ford roadster now 90-years-old Lifestyle – If you have any relatives who are 90, they were born the same year this 1924 Model T Ford roadster was built. The current owner is Gordon Jackson of Hamilton, Ontario: “Mr. Bill Sherk, this 90-year-old hound dog followed me home from Florida a few years ago. The engine is the original 20 hp and it moves it along at about 40 mph tops. That is about equal to your lawn mower. But the old girl (Liz) is faithful. She never lets me down. There is no rust and no bondo. She shines like a new dime, has six new tires and an electric starter if you are afraid of the crank.” The crank can be seen at the bottom of the rad shell and has to be handled with care, especially if the engine backfires when you are trying to start it up. It’s best to keep your thumb on the same side as your fingers in case you have to let go in a hurry. Paul Dodington of Port Carling, Ontario, purchased a 1926 Model T Ford two-door sedan for $75 in Orangeville in 1954. (It’s still in the family and now owned by Paul’s cousin in Gravenhurst.) When Paul first tried using the crank, the engine backfired and sent him to the local hospital with a broken arm. As soon as the doctor looked at his arm and before Paul could speak, the doctor exclaimed: “You have a Ford fracture!” If you look at the running board on the driver’s side of Gordon Jackson’s

Model T roadster (defined as a two-door car with a folding top and side curtains), you will see an expandable fence handy for stashing luggage on a trip. The driver’s door on many Model T’s was only a decoration, requiring occupants to get out on the much safer passenger side. Two spare tires are mounted at the back, a very good idea when this car was built and when the roads were littered with horseshoe nails. A Model T owner would often have to change a tire before getting home. Henry Ford built over 15 million Model T Fords in the U.S. from the fall of 1908 (they were ’09 models) to the spring of 1927 and over a million in other countries. It has been estimated that by 1919, half of all the cars in the world were Model T Fords! And the Model T began with left hand drive when most cars in 1908 had the steering wheel on the right. I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, Ont. N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in my column will receive a free autographed copy of my book: “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOUGordon Jackson’s 1924 Model T Ford roadster, a car that has never let him down!

In partnership with

Exhibitors, participants deem 2014 Seniors’ Expo a resounding success Community – With presentations on topics as diverse as tax benefits for seniors and meetings with elected officials through to chair yoga, the Mills Community Support’s recent fourth annual Seniors’ Expo was another great success. Well attended “Very well organized – loved having numerous volunteers who were identifiable- great job,” mentioned one exhibitor; and “Excellent opportunity to have a presence in the community and great networking with other providers and services,” mentioned another. When the numbers were tallied at the end of the day, 80 exhibitors were in attendance (from as far west as Richmond Hill, near Toronto and as far east as east-end Montreal), along with over 500 guests, who were every bit as effusive in their praise for the event as those they came to see. “Great to have this in our community,” stated one attendee. “It’s a wonderful way to make seniors aware of what’s available,” commented another. A first-time attendee noted enthusiastically that she would definitely be making the trip from Innisville again next year

This prize was won by Mary Redman, who very generously donated the prize back to Mills Community Support. As a United Way Member agency who receives funding for our seniors services programming, the decision was made by Mills Community Support to donate this prize to United Way Lanark County to help them kick off their annual fall campaign. This is just another great example of community organizations supporting one another.
