News – Just like drivers looking for a spot near the mall’s front door on Christmas Eve, there could only be one outcome for the several positions being put forward about proposed parking restrictions on Sunset Boulevard at the Oct. 1 committee-of-thewhole meeting. One business owner called for the maintenance of the status quo, another called for a ban on parking on the north side, while a resident delegate called for a complete parking ban. “People have no problem leaving side streets and there are not accidents every day,” said Martin Whyte, owner of Whyte’s Maintenance, on Sunset Boulevard, of Gore Street East, another major town artery. “I don’t see why Sunset Boulevard shouldn’t be treated the same. Yes it (Sunset) is an arterial road. But the speed limit is 50.” Whyte admitted that “parking isn’t a right,” but that there is demand for parking on Sunset. He pointed to Deputy Mayor John Gemmell, who drives a school bus, who has been known to park the vehicle on Sunset. “I don’t see it as a safety issue,” said Whyte. “It is well marked… There is no issue with us (Whyte’s Maintenance vehicles) parking there. I am not sure it is as big an issue as it is being made to be.”
Whyte also asserted that parking restrictions would unfairly impact not only his business, but people who work at the nearby factory as well. “I think we can leave the status quo,” said Whyte. “I think it is working for people,” though he did add that he tries to encourage his staff not to park on the north side of the street. Whyte even commended Mayor John Fenik for reaching out to the business community, to hear their concerns. “It’s only since John took over that the town seems to be more business-friendly,” said Whyte. “You do a lot of good work for the town, and they do a lot of good for you,” said Coun. Jim Graff to Whyte, before suggesting that he could move some of his operations to property he owns on Drummond Street. “Moving me over to Drummond Street only moves the can of worms over,” said Whyte. While Gemmell admitted to parking his bus on Sunset, and that he liked the extra space for his family to visit him, “if you have 15 or 20 vehicles (parked) it makes it harder to see,” Gemmell said. “I think that there is a difference between a vehicle and a bulldozer on a flatbed.” Whyte took exception to this assertion by Gemmell, pointing to Gore Street East, just outside of town hall.

Highlands may pay more policing costs under new provincial rules By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Lanark Highlands Township residents could be paying more for policing costs over the coming years. “Will Lanark Highlands get to pay more? I’m not a betting man, but I would say, yes,” said George Braithwaite, the provincial appointee to the Highlands’ police services board, at their meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 1. As the area representative to the Ontario Association of Police Services Boards, he reminded the PSB that the OPP contracts for both the Highlands and Tay Valley Township are up for renewal. Billing consultations have already been carried out around the province, with recommendations already
having been made to the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services – but “they are not able to divulge” what those recommendations are. “Within the next six weeks we will have an idea of those recommendations are,” said Braithwaite, though he suggested that the scheduled OPP pay hike would likely go ahead on Jan. 1, 2014, though not without some grumbling. “The OPP rise in wages is being resisted in many quarters. This will be damaging to many smaller municipalities. But it is going to happen.” Already, he pointed to a small municipality, in the “hinterlands” which pays $7 per household for policing costs already. “They have no crime,” he said. “It is like the living
definition of Sleepy Hollow.” When the province does make its recommendations on police costing public, Braithwaite said that “my opinion is that it will be based on a flat cost. There will be a new set of winners and losers. I don’t know what they will do with the aberrations,” whose policing needs and realities do not exactly fit the regular mold, places like Kenora, Hawkesbury, and Cobden, “who will pay higher costs, through no fault of their own.” However, Braithwaite hastened to add that while “I hope that the new protocol will be more fair,” some of his assumptions may not come to pass. “It may not happen. We don’t know. There is no point in speculating about this in the newspapers.”

Learn about the gift of giving an organ donation at CFUW public meeting Oct. 21 Community – It’s a new season, new members and a vibrant mission for the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW), Perth and District. The CFUW is about to launch its new year with a roster of programs and events to whet the interest of everyone. Our first general meeting on Oct. 21 at the Perth Royal Canadian Legion building, 26 Sherbrooke Street East, 6:30 p.m., is open to the public and features Cheri Barton, busy Vankleek Hill mother of three, and a volunteer with Trillium Gift of Life Foundation. This is a not-for-profit Ontario government agency dedicated to the planning, promotion, coordination and support of organ and tissue donation and transplantation across Ontario. Cheri Barton, through sharing her story, will speak about the importance of being an organ donor. Do you know that in Ontario more than 1,500 people are on the wait list for an organ transplant – 85 per cent of Ontarians are in favor of organ donation yet only 25 per cent have registered their consent to donate? Come
and hear about one of the greatest acts of charity that one can ever make, giving an organ to another human being, saving another’s life. CFUW Perth and District, a women’s organization with local involvement, provincial, national and international affiliation, has the mandate of improving quality education, the status of women, advocating for social justice, human rights and the environment, and the active, meaningful participation in public affairs. It is a highly regarded club where all women from diverse educational backgrounds are welcome to become members, to attend meetings, to join the many different interest groups (from bridge to book groups, gourmet to beginning Spanish and French language groups) and to participate in various volunteer projects. Our major fundraiser is the upcoming Heritage Perth Christmas House Tour, Dec. 7 and 8, showcasing eight unique heritage and modern homes in the area, decked out in full Christmas finery. The house tour supports our education awards granted to assist women of all ages in reaching their educational, career ob-

In addition monies generated by the tour, fund donations to various schools, literacy programs in the libraries, and other special education-related projects. More information on the tour as well as other CFUW activities is available at the CFUW Perth and District website (cfuw-perthdistrict.com). Upcoming at the Nov. 18 meeting will be Susan McClelland, a well-known freelance Toronto journalist, winner of the 2005 Amnesty International Media Award for investigative reporting on women’s and children’s issues. She will relate the powerful and timely true story told in her book, The Bite of the Mango, about Mariatu Kamara, both a victim and a survivor of the civil war in Sierra Leone. Members mark this date on your calendar! Prospective new members can contact the membership chair, at cfuw.perth.membership@gmail. com for membership information.

Fifth annual Toledo Ride-a-Thon hits the trails Oct. 19 By ASHLEY KULP
Submitted photos
The fifth annual Toledo Ride-aThon is set for Saturday, Oct. 19 where area horseback riders can experience some of Kitley’s oldest concession roads and trails, while raising funds to benefit St. Joseph Catholic School and St. Andrew’s United Church, both in Toledo. Above and right, the fall foliage provided a pretty backdrop for riders during last year’s event. cal businesses and organizations will be drawn and this year, Gilligan said Toledo Ride-a-Thon T-shirts will be given to riders on a first come, first serve basis. For more information about the Toledo Ride-a-Thon, to register or print off pledge forms, please visit www.saddleupintoledo.com. Riders who register before Oct. 12 will be entered into an early bird draw to have their $50 registration fee returned to them. The event is open to families, though riders 18 years of age or younger must have written consent from a parent or legal guardian and proof of liability insurance is required. No ATVs will be permitted on the trails. Organizers are hoping for good weather, but the event will proceed rain or shine. “We’ve started trimming the trails and we will be marking them this weekend so we’ll be good to go,” Gilligan concluded.

Community – Take in scenic fall foliage and explore the local countryside on horseback during the fifth annual Toledo Ride-a-Thon Saturday, Oct. 19. The day of riding along some of Kitley’s oldest concession roads and trails serves as a fundraiser for St. Joseph Catholic School and St. Andrew’s United Church, both in Toledo. It is the brainchild of sisters Kelly Brownson and Lee Ann Gilligan, who wanted to create a different type of fundraiser to help out their community. “It’s a unique fundraiser and gives us the opportunity to support the school and churches in a different way,” Gilligan said, noting that last year’s event saw 54 riders participate with some travelling from as far as Kingston. She added that through the efforts of the Toledo Ride-a-Thon, three windows were replaced in the St. Andrew’s church hall last year. The day begins with registration at 10 a.m. The registration site is located just west of Toledo, off of County Road 8, but signs will be posted leading to the area. A bake table will be set up with plenty of sweet treats as well. Riders will depart between 10 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., after which participants will set out on a 25-kilometre route, which will have visible signage and road crossing guards to help riders navigate safely. Along the way, pit stops for cookies and refreshments will also be available. “People will come with their horses and trailers, tack up and ride back through the concession roads and sugar bushes,” Gilligan explained. Those who wish to take part can choose to either collect pledges (minimum of $50) or pay a registration fee of $50. As an added incentive, Gilligan said the rider who brings in the highest amount of pledges over $200 will receive the prize of an ultimate weekend vacation at HorseCountry Campground in Forrester Falls. This includes two nights of camping and fishing in a campsite, with a corral, that can accommodate up to four people and two horses. Also featured in that package is unlimited trail riding, access to Rafters resort and unlimited access to the HorseCountry Campground’s weekend activities. The winner can also take home their choice of a Western headstall and reins or English bridle and reins, courtesy of William Joynt from Joynt Auction Company Ltd.

This gently sloping nine-kilometre trail down Pakenham Mountain is suitable for mountain biking, and walking or running, you choose how you’ll travel. At the end of the Carbine Trail we encourage you to continue to the Mill of Kintail Conservation Area for refreshments and more planting en route. Shuttles will be available at the end of the Carbine Trail and the Mill of Kintail to return you (and your bike) to High Lonesome. Some areas of the Carbine Trail and High Lonesome are rough terrain suitable for more experienced bikers and hikers. Participants looking for a gentler way to enjoy the day are welcomed to start at the Mill of Kintail where accessible, groomed trails offer a less rugged route. You can choose your route online at www. mmltc.ca or decide at registration. This event has been made possible through Canon’s Take Root Program, presented by Evergreen, a national community tree planting
and greening initiative supported by Canon Canada and led by Evergreen. Take Root is in support of National Tree Day. MMLTC has also received a Canon PowerPoint camera which will be used to record this event. To reach High Lonesome Nature Reserve from County Road 29 in Pakenham village, turn left on Waba
Road and drive west for 2.9 km. Turn left on Barr Side Road and drive 1.6 km, take the first left at Carbine Road, then drive 4 km to 867 Carbine Rd. For further information and maps, visit www.mmltc.ca or call 613-2782939. Submitted by Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust Conservancy.

Find your fortune at Oct. 19 Tarot and henna fundraiser to benefit Interval House By ASHLEY KULP akulp@perfprint.ca
Community – Learn what the future has in store for you at Angels Roost Organic Spa Saturday, Oct. 19 when a Tarot session and henna decoration fundraiser will take place to benefit Lanark County Interval House (LCIH). Back by popular demand, the event sold out last year with two Tarot readers, Ann Gratton (40 years experience) and Lise Guignard (21 years experience), so Deb Shea and Carolyn Avery will be joining them on Oct. 19. Shea has 20plus years experience as a Tarot reader and has been doing henna decoration for 30 years. Avery also has 30 years under her belt working with henna and has been Tarot reading for five years.
There is no need to book appointments in advance, those interested can walk in, pick their henna tattoo and have their Tarot read between 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event was conceived by Gratton and Avery, who wanted to do something unique to help benefit LCIH. “We have teamed up for several money making events, but both felt strongly that it is equally important to give back to the community,” Gratton remarked. “There are so many needs and Carolyn does lots of community work with her husband Chuck in the Westport area where we live.” Having previously done benefit work for LCIH, Gratton said that positive experience made her realize what organization she wanted this fundraiser to support. All proceeds will
go to support the nonprofit organization. “While living in the Carleton Place area, I was witness to the good work (of LCIH). I came to understand that Interval House was a very important pillar for women and consequently their families in the area, and so I felt that I also wanted to be part of the good work somehow.” With the connection to Halloween, Gratton said Tarot sessions and henna decoration fundraiser is meant to be fun and conjures up the image of witches,” which makes me think of wise women.” Holding the event at Angels Roost is icing on the cake. “To be able to have the event at Angel’s Roost is so amazing,” she continued. “It is a day of taking care of our inner and outer beauty.” Angels Roost own-
er Kathy Blair is also pleased to be a part of the process. “Angels Roost Organic Spa is happy to support such an important organization in the community,” she stated. “We are excited to host the Tarot and henna reading on Oct. 19. It has been a great success in the past and we encourage the community to join us…” Heather Whiting, LCIH’s fundraising and volunteer coordinator, said the afternoon is a fun outing for groups of friends and last year’s event raised approximately $600 for Interval House programs. “…When someone like Ann contacts us to say she wants to bring her friends together to offer something fun and unique like Tarot readings and henna decorations, it offers an incredible boost to the (LCIH)
staff also,” she noted. “It reminds us that other people believe in our work and believe in the women. So much so, that they want to take it on themselves to raise money to help them. To me, that’s as rejuvenating as one of Kathy’s luxury spa treatments. It’s wonderful.” Whiting also said that LCIH is always grateful to people like Gratton for their support. “I’m not sure how to express how deeply pleased and grateful we are when a community member calls to say that she and her friends want to do something special to raise funds for our programs,” she said. “With so many worthy charities out there, it can be tough for a small local agency to shine brightly enough to be noticed. We don’t have a large staff or a national
umbrella organization… Everyday we try to think up new and creative ways to let people know that our agency is here and that our counsellors are working hard in their community helping their neighbours.” The Tarot sessions and
henna decoration fundraiser runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 19. For more information, visit www.lcih.com or call LCIH at 613-257-3469 ext. 27. Angels Roost Organic Spa is located on the 7th Line of Beckwith.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR
Wind energy a sensible choice for Ontarians, says association DEAR EDITOR: Editor’s note: The following letter is in response to an article from the office of Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark (‘Clark criticizes government’s energy policies’) which ran in the Sept. 19 edition of the newspaper. It is standard practice for Ontario’s Independent Electricity Operator (IESO) to ask electricity generators to reduce their output during times of low electricity demand. Nuclear, gas and now wind operators alike, have contracts that guarantee power purchases with commitments to pay at reduced rates during times when their electricity is not required. Ontarians are paying more for electricity after years of underinvestment in both new generation and infrastructure. Numerous analyses have demonstrated that wind energy has made only a minor contribution to price increases to date.
A Power Advisory LLC report commissioned by the Canadian Wind Energy Association found that wind energy accounted for only about five per cent of the increase to the total customer bill between 2009 and 2012. As Ontario reviews its long-term energy plan, we are confident it will incorporate options that will create an electricity system that is sustainable, reliable and flexible while ensuring that ratepayers have access to affordable energy. Wind energy is a sensible choice because it will deliver power to Ontarians at a price that is cost-competitive with, or cheaper, than other conventional sources – all while protecting our environment. Brandy Giannetta, Ontario regional director Canadian Wind Energy Association
COMMENTARY Experience live theatre Editorials – The beauty of fall foliage is at its peak right now and so is the talent inside the area’s local theatres. Most theatre groups throughout Lanark, Leeds and Grenville have kicked off their fall seasons and there is something for everyone to enjoy. With its new elevator installed, Perth’s Studio Theatre is looking forward to a busy fall and are fresh from a successful production of Norm Foster’s Old Love. Their next run will be An Evening of One Act Plays, premiering Oct. 24. Just down the road on Craig Street, BarnDoor Productions is anticipating their fall lineup at the Full Circle Theatre. They will launch an adaptation of Alfred Hitchcock’s famous spy film, 39 Steps, on Oct. 18, which will run until Oct. 27. The Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre have also been hard at work perfecting their version of the Shakespeare classic, Othello. Directed by Mark Piper, the show takes over the Carleton Place Town Hall Auditorium Oct. 20, 25 and 26. Theatre Night in Merrickville are gearing up for a busy autumn as well as hosts of the Eastern Ontario Drama League’s One Act Festival Nov. 8 to 10, which will feature eight plays. Nearby, the Kemptville Players Inc. will present Double Confusion, featuring two one-act plays (The Death of Me by Norm Foster and Box Office by Claudia Haas) Nov. 15 to 17 at the North Grenville Municipal Centre. And the Smiths Falls Community Theatre is fresh from presenting its trio of one-act plays. There are countless hours, not to mention an abundance of volunteers, spent producing these plays and while those involved do it primarily because of their love for acting and performing, but also for their communities to enjoy. This fall, why not experience what’s in your own backyard?
Making sauerkraut was a treasured family tradition Lifestyle – The big wood barrel had been scrubbed with hot soapy water and a brush, and put outside on the back stoop to sun-dry. It would take days for it to be as dry as a bone. And if the sky looked like a drop of rain might come down, the barrel was rolled into the summer kitchen until the threat was over. Dozens of big fat cabbages were already in the summer kitchen on a table Father had put together by putting three wide planks on two sawhorses. A new bag of coarse salt had been bought at Briscoe’s General Store. We were ready. This would be a Saturday night when there would be no going off to a house party, or having neighbours in for a game of cards. This night would be reserved for making sauerkraut, and the whole family would be doing the job. I had mixed feelings about the night we made the sauerkraut. Certainly when the whole family was working together brought me special joy, but being the youngest of the five children, my job was menial at best. All I was allowed to do was bring in more cabbages from the summer kitchen as they were needed. The old pine table had been stripped of its red and white, well-worn oilcloth,
and the wood scrubbed clean by my sister Audrey. All the chairs and benches had been moved back to the wall...there would be no sitting that night! Hands had been scrubbed with a brush and hot soapy water, and both Father and Mother wore long white pinny aprons for the job. When the work night started, on the table close to one end, was the cabbage slicer. Father said it had been made by his great-great grandfather when he settled in Northcote generations ago. It looked like a long narrow wood box with no lid. And in the very bottom of the box was a sharp blade that Father said could be deadly if you accidentally ran your hand over it. The well-scrubbed barrel had been rolled into the kitchen right after supper, and it sat close to the table at one end. Straddling the barrel was the wood box with the deadly blade, which also, of course, had been scrubbed within an inch of its life. Now it was time to bring in the cabbages from the summer kitchen...not all at once, of course. They were kept out as long as possible, so that when they were finally shredded, they would still be well chilled from being outside of the steaming hot kitchen.

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK
And that’s when I figured into the picture. It was my job to bring in the cabbages when Father announced he was ready for another one. This meant I was constantly running back and forth…inside, outside. And it meant I missed seeing most of the actual job of shredding the big pale green heads, which didn’t please me in the least. But back in those days, a young daughter did exactly what she was told. There was no negotiating with a brother or sister to change jobs! It was Emerson and Everett’s job to peel off the very top leafs of each head of cabbage. Not one leaf more than the very top ones, either. That would be sheer waste. Beside the table were two huge baskets, and into these baskets went the pulled-off outer leafs. They wouldn’t be tossed out in the back yard, where garbage for which there could be News Editors: Laurie Weir, Joe Morin, Ashley Kulp REPORTERS: Howaida Sorour, Tara Gesner, Desmond Devoy, Kelly Kent, Jennifer Westendorp DISTRIBUTION: Lori Sommerdyk, 613-284-0124 ,ext. 27 CLASSIFIEDS/REGIONAL ROUNDUP: Fax: 613-283-5909 Judy Michaelis Email: jmichaelis@perfprint.ca Lee Ann Gilligan Email: lgilligan@perfprint.ca Jennifer Coughlin Email: jcoughlin@perfprint.ca

found no other use (and that was very little indeed) was tossed. No, these baskets of leafs would go to feed the pigs. And this is where my youngest brother Earl came into the picture. It was his job to tear down the discarded cabbage into smaller pieces. That way, Father said, it was easier to make the feed go farther when it was finally tossed out to the pigs, mixed with other slop. My sister Audrey sliced off the very end of the cabbage with a sharp butcher knife, and that too was tossed into the baskets by the table. And then that head was passed on to Father. With spotlessly clean hands Father fed the head of cabbage into the wood box straddling the barrel, running it back and forth over the sharp blade, letting the finely shredded cabbage fall into the barrel. Mother used a block of wood attached to a short pole (Father’s creation), and every so often Father stopped shedding, as mother gently packed down the cabbage. Everything would come to a halt, and with a measuring cup dipped into the bag of coarse salt, Mother would spread in a goodly amount. For some reason I was never able to fathom, the number of shredded cabADVERTISING SALES: ADVERTISING SALES CO-ORDINATOR Andrea Harding SALES: Cheryl Johnston, Sharon Sinfield, Kathy Perreault, Liz Gray, Kevin Hoover, Jamie Rae-Gomes Email: emcsales@perfprint.ca Fax: 613-283-9988 THE DEADLINE FOR DISPLAY ADVERTISING IS MONDAY 4:30 PM
bages was always enough to exactly fill the barrel! Not right to the top, of course, but with about 10 inches of what Father called ‘breathing room’. The very top of the shredded cabbage got the final toss of coarse salt, and then a well-scrubbed stone...the same one we used every year, was the last addition to the barrel. The stone would make sure the cabbage was on a steady pack-down. It took Father and three brothers to roll the barrel out to the summer kitchen. Of course, the sauerkraut would not be ready to eat until it had been well fermented, and was always best when the blasts of winter froze it solid. By then, which is something else I had trouble figuring out, the cabbage, turned to sauerkraut, had settled down into the barrel, and was considerably less, I thought than what had been put in that night in our kitchen. For days afterwards, I would sneak a peek into the barrel and would be met with the sharp tang of the fermenting cabbage. I would have a feeling of contentment come over me. Because now I knew, deep in that awful Depression, it didn’t matter how bad things got, we would at least have sauerkraut to put on the supper table. • Advertising rates and terms and conditions are according to the rate card in effect at time advertising published. • The advertiser agrees that the publisher shall not be liable for damages arising out of errors in advertisements beyond the amount charged for the space actually occupied by that portion of the advertisement in which the error occurred, whether such error is due to negligence of its servants or otherwise... and there shall be no liability for non-insertion of any advertisement beyond the amount charged for such advertisement. • The advertiser agrees that the copyright of all advertisements prepared by the Publisher be vested in the Publisher and that those advertisements cannot be reproduced without the permission of the Publisher. • The Publisher reserves the right to edit, revise or reject any advertisement.

Studio Theatre’s new elevator opens doors to theatre for everyone Arts – Oh, those darn 19 steps... Ask anyone about Perth’s Studio Theatre and the subject of the stairs is bound to come up eventually. For most, hoofing it up the steps to the second floor theatre was a small price to pay for great community entertainment. However, for people who rely on a walker or a wheelchair, the stairs might as well have been the Great Wall of China; they were an impassable barrier preventing them from enjoying the theatre’s many plays and concerts. But today, stair-challenged patrons are discovering that those 19 steps have been joined by the single button of a brand new elevator. And audience members at the theatre’s first production of the season, Norm Foster’s Old Love, were quick to give the stylish new conveyance rave reviews. “It will make a big difference to many people!” said Olwen Romana and Sheila Marjorum. “I have a friend who is in a wheelchair, so she’ll be able to come now.” Another happy rider stated, “We’ve been many times, but health restrictions now prevent us from climbing the stairs. We’re
very glad we finally got the elevator.” And Margo Fulford Clay, who was part of a large group enjoying Old Love, said, “It’s nice to be able to take the elevator. We’ll come all the time now!” Enthusiastic comments like that are proof that the Studio Theatre’s Give Our Theatre a Lift campaign was well worth the years of fundraising effort. A generous grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation finally enabled the project to go ahead this past spring, and a ribbon cutting ceremony on Sept. 6 officially inaugurated the new elevator. Although the bulk of the renovation is now complete, there are finishing touches still to come, particularly in the new foyer, where a full bar and other enhancements will soon come to life. In fact, there will be a cash bar (beer and wine) set up for the opening night of the Studio Theatre’s next production, An Evening of One Act Plays. So if you’re looking for proof that hard work and commitment can make a big dream come true, look no further than Perth’s little theatre in the Tay Basin.

Mississippi Mudds making a home for Shakespeare in Carleton Place Arts – For the past three years, the teenaged actors in the Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre have been performing Shakespeare at the Carleton Place Town Hall. In 2011, it was Macbeth, and in 2012, Much Ado About Nothing. This spring, these actors took it down the road to Almonte, performing Hamlet. “Yes, these actors can’t seem to get enough of Shakespeare,“ says director Mark Piper. “I don’t know why so many people think that these plays are inaccessible, or irrelevant. It shocks me that there’s an ongoing debate about whether or not we should teach theatre – or Shakespeare – in schools: you only have to look at how confident, self-possessed, and literate this group of young actors has become.” This October, the group brings another offering to the Carleton Place Town Hall: Othello, the tragic study of manipulative evil, false friendship, and betrayed innocence. A number of veterans of past shows have returned for this production – past audience members will recall the performances of Hayley Fortier, Leah West, Candice Burn, Katie Irvine, Evan Sauve, Lydia Charron, Amber Brendt, Connor Lyon, Jordanne Laforet, and Kate Bains. Levi Albert, Jasmine Colemen and Megan Syme, who were puppeteers in the previous production of Hamlet, have moved on to more dramatic roles in this production. “The returning actors have learned a great deal from their previous experiences – not only the basic technical stuff like using one’s voice, or how to move on stage, but also how to connect emotionally with an audience, and how to take calculated risks with a performance in order to keep them interested,” says Piper. “It’s because, unlike a screen performance, a theatre performance is done with the participation of an audience.” “All the returning actors seem to have acquired that quality of ‘presence’ that actors with experience on the

stage – rather than television or movies – seem to acquire,” he adds. “And over the course of the rehearsals, they have passed it on to the new performers.” New to performing Shakespeare – but not new to the theatre – is Dayna Stone, who is playing the title role. And theatre newcomer Callum Leroy is making his Shakespearean debut as the Jester. As has been the case in past productions, the performers will be playing Othello in the round – surrounded by their audience – with a bare floor as their set, and little in the way of stage dressing or speciallydesigned costumes to distract from the actors’ performances. If you enjoy Shakespeare in the manner in which it was originally presented – surrounded by the audience – with an emphasis on skilled young acting that brings out the majestic language, then you are in for a treat with this October’s Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre production of Othello. Othello comes to Carleton Place Town Hall Oct. 20, 25, and 26. Tickets will be sold at the Carleton Place Chamber of Commerce Visitor Centre (132 Coleman Street, 613-2571976).

Sweet sounds of Merrickville Jazz Fest back for another year Oct. 17 to 20 akulp@perfprint.ca
Community – The smoky sounds of authentic jazz music will flow throughout Merrickville Oct. 17 to 20 when the Merrickville Jazz Fest returns to the village. Since its inception three years ago, the festival has become increasingly more popular and features 16 different musical acts for people to enjoy at seven locations around the village. According to Peggy Holloway, who is coordinating this year’s event along with Karen Oxorn, the festival has undergone many changes, which started with issuing a call to musicians earlier this spring. “We did that (call for musicians) instead of just asking individual people or have people come to us,” she explained, adding that a panel of five reviewed the applications and selected the musicians “based on trying to provide primarily jazz content, which is something we’re very proud of.” “We’re also trying to provide a variety of styles (of jazz) and size of groups,” Holloway
continued. “We have some duos, trios, quartets and some six and sevenpiece bands this year.” Through adding four levels of sponsorship (bronze, silver, gold and platinum), organizers have been able to enhance promotions and attract more musicians to this year’s jazz fest, as well. Holloway said rather than asking Merrickville merchants to donate, they wanted to set up sponsorship packages that would also provide them with free passes to the concerts. “We were just blown away by the response. The merchants again came through and we had 17 different sponsors at our bronze level alone,” she noted, adding that there were three gold sponsors, two silver and two platinum. “We’re very, very pleased with the support from the village and outside support.” One of the most unique aspects of the event is the fact that it takes place at different venues around Merrickville. Visitors can enjoy intimate music at Gad’s Hill Place or The Goose and Gridiron, or marvel at the acoustics in Holy

The third annual Merrickville Jazz Fest takes over the village Oct. 17 to 20 with 16 different acts showcasing authentic jazz music at seven different sites around Merrickville. Above, vocalist Karen Oxorn performs at last year’s festival at the Trinity Anglican Church or Merrickville United Church. For those who prefer concert halls, the Merrickville Community Centre will fit the bill. “We’re very excited about the lineup...it’s as close to pure jazz as you’ll find,” Holloway said. “...I’m always surprised that these people want to come to Merrick-
ville. It’s so delightful,” she continued. “And the musicians are such a real joy to deal with.” The lineup Oct. 17 Merrickville Jazz Fest kicks off Thursday, Oct. 17 with a grand opening celebration, which Holloway said is also an appreciation evening for advance ticket hold-

more than 20 years and her latest album, JAZZLIKE, has received lots of airplay from CBC Radio. Local favourites Swing Bridge will finish up Friday evening at The Goose and Gridiron at 8:30 p.m. Oct. 19 Wave Bossa Trio kicks off a day of jazz music at noon on Saturday, Oct. 19. They are part of a double bill at the Merrickville Community Centre. The trio consists of vocalist Jerry Sociedade, Chris Thompson on electric bass and pianist Ginny Simonds who combine complex rhythms and harmonies of bossa nova and also love swing classics made popular by Frank Sinatra and other artists. For this performance they will be joined by special guest David Glover. The second act of the double bill is Django-libre, an Ottawa group formed in 2007 that specializes in gypsy jazz. The band includes guitarists Christian Flores, Andrew Tesolin and Steven Van Dlik, bassist Chris Breitner, Peter Dawson on violin and Philippe Mineau on accordion. Then at 4 p.m., Julie Michels and Kevin Barrett headline Holy Trinity Anglican Church. Michels has been a fixture on the Toronto jazz scene for more than two decades. Holloway said she is especially excited to see the Toronto-based musicians. “She’s a little singer with a big voice and he’s a fabulous guitar player and they often play together,” she said. Steve Boudreau and Garry Elliott

are set to perform at the Baldachin Inn dining room at 5:30 p.m. Boudreau is an Ottawa-based jazz pianist and Elliott is a guitarist. They have been playing together for more than 15 years and recently released an album, Pre-Dawn Skies. At 7:30 p.m., Scott Poll and the Pollcats will be at Merrickville United Church. Heralded as one of Ottawa’s premier acoustic jazz groups, the band was formed in 1993 by leader and clarinet player Scott Poll. Other members include bassist Tom Denison, drummer Scott Latham and guitarist Bill Gooby. The band recently performed at a private gala reception for Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles. Rounding out Saturday’s lineup is local band the Lorrie Sutterlin Jazz Trio, who take over Harry McLean’s Pub at 9:30 p.m. With Sutterlin on vocals, she will be joined by Steve Boudreau on piano and bassist Tim Stanutz. Oct. 20 The final day of Merrickville Jazz Fest begins at noon with another of Holloway’s picks, Renée Yoxon and Mark Ferguson at the Baldachin Inn dining room. “Renée is a singer and Mark is a pianist and they just moved to Montreal, but are from Ottawa,” she commented. “She has the sweetest voice; it’s just so clear.” Yoxon released a CD in December 2012, Here We Go Again, and is establishing herself as one of the up and coming voices in jazz today. Room to Groove will be at Holy Trinity Anglican Church at 1:30 p.m. A versatile quartet, they have been
performing for the past five years and consist of Edwin Gans on alto sax, pianist Jean Bergeron, drummer Rob Murray, and Len Leclair on double bass. That performance will be followed by Natalia and Montuno at the Merrickville United Church at 3:30 p.m. Natalia Cabrera was born in Argentina and is joined by husband Anthony Cook and Kurt Walther. They are known for creating a positive energy when on stage with styles ranging from bossa nova to blues. Gad’s Hill Place welcomes Anouk and Pierre at 5:30 p.m., who have been performing together since November 2009. They perform original versions of jazz classics as well as incorporating Brazilian melodies. To cap the entire festival off, a Tribute to Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday will memorialize two of the great jazz singers at the Merrickville Community Centre at 7:30 p.m. This same show was performed at the National Arts Centre’s Fourth Stage back in April and features Ottawa vocalists Dominique Forest, Nicole Ratté and Karen Oxorn. Guests can expect to hear jazz standards by songwriters such as George and Ira Gershwin, Lionel Hampton and Johnny Mercer, as well as Jimmy McHugh and Dorothy Fields. CBC Radio’s Laurence Wall will serve as emcee for the show and the vocalists will be backed by musical director Mark Ferguson on piano and trombone, drummer Jeff Asselin, guitarist Tim Bedner, Normand Glaude on double bass and Mike Tremblay on tenor saxophone. Holloway indicated that ticket
prices have not been raised and remain $15 for single tickets, $40 for day passes (Saturday and Sunday) or $60 for a festival pass until Oct. 14, afterwards they will go up to $65. Tickets are available at the Knock Knock Shoppe, Miller’s of Merrickville, The Village Bean, online at www.merrickvillejazzfest.com (via PayPal) or by phone at 613-2694223. She said tickets have been selling
steadily and encourages all music lovers to come out and experience what jazz is all about. “It’s all about the attraction of live music. So many people have lost interest in it (live music) because they can get everything at home. With live music, there’s so much more interaction with people. You can hear music live, have that social interaction and the atmosphere,” Holloway concluded.
CDSBEO develops anti-bullying app News – The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) has partnered with InTouch Mobile, to develop an anti-bullying and community outreach app. Created in response to new Safe Schools legislation, the mobile application gives students and parents an avenue to quickly, conveniently and anonymously report incidents of bullying and victimization in schools. Research has indicated that this form of communication has empowered students and parents by greatly increased the number of incidents reported, compared to all other reporting vehicles in place. The app is free for users, and can be accessed through various means including a cell phone that is capable of texting, by calling a toll-free number, or through a web chat. The service links to a live, trained operator who will respond to concerns during business hours, with an automated system setup for after hours.
Once the concern is submitted, a report is generated (within two minutes) and forwarded via email to the school administrator(s) for investigation and follow-up. If an operator senses a need for immediate response, a phone call will accompany any emails. The app will be much more than an anti-bullying tool; it will also be developed as a tool for community outreach, which will communicate information on board news, student transportation information, and school news and announcements. “Parents, students, and community members will even be able to highlight acts of kindness and good news items,” reports director of education, William J. Gartland. The tool will be available for use by various groups, including all CDSBEO students in grades 7 through 12, by Jan. 1, 2014. Submitted by the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario.

Arts – It’s easy to find the funniest, most entertaining show of the month in Perth. Just follow the steps to the Full Circle Theatre (FCT) – The 39 Steps, in fact. Patrick Barlow’s adaptation of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1935 spythriller started off in regional theatre in Britain and became the longest running Broadway play of the 2000s, called “non-stop mirth and mayhem – a glorious romp� by Washington’s Metro Theatre Arts and “flat-out hysterical� by the Indiana News-Herald. BarnDoor Productions’ (BDP) 91st show, opening their 19th season, brings together a talented and very energetic cast of community performers for a knock ‘em down tribute to Alfred Hitchcock, film-noir and fun. Taking the very thin line between melodrama and farce as its starting point, the play twists Hitchcock’s very serious thriller into crazy fun, with a handful of performers playing all of the roles in the movie at the drop of a hat and the shift of an accent. From mysterious international spies to Scottish newsboys to London policemen, much of the fun is how the actors change from character to character – often playing two or even three at once! The 39 Steps offers the kind
of high-energy, fast-paced entertainment that has been BarnDoor Productions’ trademark since 1995, starting off in school auditoriums before spearheading the creation of Perth’s first purpose-built theatre in 80 years (the Studio Theatre) and finally creating their own ground-level, barrier-free theatre in 2011, the Full Circle Theatre. That intimate and inviting theatre has become a home to many different kinds of entertainment since its opening, from musicals by the Perth Community Choir (who return in November for their annual fall show, The Secret Garden), to some of the best in independent film with the Film Night International series, great live musical entertainment from Charles MacPhail Productions, adult storytelling from 2 women productions (also returning in November for their third season at Full Circle), and, last summer, Classic Theatre Festival bringing their professional work to the warmly-received Full Circle space. The number of performances and presentations at FCT more than doubled in the second year of operations, with nearly 130 events bringing audiences into the building. The core of the entertainment at FCT is built around BarnDoor Productions,
OCTOBER
whose 19th season includes a special Christmas musical, some cyberspace farce for the winter months, Tony-award winning intense comedy for spring and a return to classic theatre for early summer. The connecting thread, as always with BarnDoor Productions, is community players coming together to create work that “belies their amateur status�, according to one critic. From modern shows like Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and Deathtrap (each called “the best community show ever put on in Perth� – you’ll have to decide which one is actually best) to a magical A Midsummer Night’s Dream, BDP continues to create work that goes beyond the normal expectation. The 39 Steps is the beginning of the path to a season full of fun, thought-provoking theatre, great cinema, exciting music and much more at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre. Get on the path and join in. The 39 Steps runs Oct. 18, 19, 24, 25, 26 at 8 p.m., Oct. 20 and 27 at 2 p.m. at the Full Circle Theatre (26 Craig Street, Perth). Tickets are $20 reserved and $22 at the door. Students are just $10. To reserve, call 613-267-1884. No credit cards required; cash at the performance is requested. Visit www.barndoorproductions.ca for more information.

Innovative large scale project brings fish habitat to Otty Lake News – Otty Lake Association and Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) are teaming-up to enhance fish habitat on one of the Tay River’s watershed lakes. Using some innovative techniques, the team is looking to enhance spawning, nursery and feeding areas for smallmouth and largemouth bass in Otty Lake. Seventy-five gravel spawning beds will be installed off-shore. This is done by adding round river wash stone in three feet by three feet wide piles with a thickness of approximately three inches to the bottom of the lake in key areas. The new spawning beds will be placed 40 feet apart and will be spread out across half a kilometre of the lake bottom. Not only will these areas
provide exceptional spawning and nursery habitat, but they will also become homes to many food sources such as crayfish and aquatic insects – all part of a healthy, natural lake ecosystem. The team will also submerge and anchor recycled Christmas trees on the bed of the lake (over 15 feet deep) in 12 designated areas. This underwater material will provide areas where fish can rest, find shelter and feed. Adding submerged wood is a simple, inexpensive and yet effective way to provide summer refuges for adult fish to recover after spawning. “We completed a comprehensive lake restoration plan for fish habitat following the launch of our Tay River Subwatershed Report,� said RVCA aquatic and
fish habitat biologist Jennifer Lamoureux. “We worked with a knowledgeable angler from the lake to identify areas that could benefit from fish habitat enhancements. The Otty Lake Association jumped at the chance to complete this meaningful on-the-ground project that will hopefully see big results starting in the spring of 2014.� “The Otty Lake Association is pleased and eager to participate in this valuable habitat enhancement work to produce and support a sustainable smallmouth bass population for years to come,� says Robert Cosh, president of the Otty Lake Association. “We also see strong benefits in this initiative to provide excellent habitat for other species of fish and aquatic animals.�
RVCA staff and lake volunteers will monitor the success of the project. Spawning beds will be investigated in May 2014 to see which are actively being used. In July 2014, staff will use underwater cameras to inspect the use of the sunken trees. “This is a unique project. Some work like this has happened in Ontario in the past, but nothing of this scale in the Rideau watershed,� said Lamoureux. “We are very interested in monitoring and seeing the results.� This project was undertaken with the financial support of the Government of Canada through the federal Department of the Environment, the Rideau Valley Conservation Foundation and the Otty Lake Association. Submitted by the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority.

Community – Put your fine woodworking skills to the test this fall and enroll in the Algonquin College Perth Campus Continuing Education Woodworking course. Students will craft a set of handmade coasters each resembling a quilted eight-point star. The coasters, constructed from six different wood species native to the Perth area, are held in a frame with magnets and can be hung on a wall for display. Over the six-week course, students will learn about woodworking, the tools involved and they will each make this decorative item, allowing them to proudly display it in their home or wrap it up for someone to open Christmas morning. Following a sold out and very successful woodworking course led by instructor Laura Elliott last spring, Algonquin College is thrilled to have Laura back to lead another course. Registration is now open and the course begins Thursday, Oct. 10 and runs until Nov. 14.

Canada’s Bomber Command veterans finally recognized Lifestyle – In a corner of London’s picturesque Green Park, an easy stroll from Buckingham Palace, a new memorial honouring the 55,573 men of Bomber Command who died during World War II is getting lots of attention these days. Located at a busy place in the bustling British capital the memorial, formally unveiled by Queen Elizabeth II on June 28, 2012 during her Diamond Jubilee year, is hard to miss. The impressive structure features a 2.7 metre high bronze statue depicting seven air crew members. Last August my wife Kathleen and I, along with our Carleton Place friends Wendy and Frank LeBlanc, visited the memorial. It was a moving experience! We discovered that less than two months after it opened the families of Bomber Command flyers, killed during the air war over Germany and Nazi-occupied Europe, had already turned the monument into a shrine. Scores of families from Great Britain and the Commonwealth, who lost relatives during the Second World War bomber offensive, have placed photos of their loved ones along with information about them in virtually every nook and cranny at the site. Others have placed handwritten notes in memory of their fathers, grandfathers, brothers and cousins lost while serving with Bomber Command. In some cases the
messages are from the families of aircrew who survived the war but have since died. Clearly they want others to know that their loved ones were part of the effort, a campaign which has gone largely unrecognized. That’s due in part to the controversial bombing of German cities which took so many civilian lives. The reality is that those who served in Bomber Command were not concerned with the politics of war. They were doing their duty and they paid a heavy price. Of the 120,000 airmen involved, half were killed in action. The casualty rate is comparable to the losses suffered by infantry units during the First World War which is considered one of the most horrific conflicts in history. Only the losses experienced by Germany’s submariners (U-Boat crews) during the Battle of the Atlantic in WWII were greater than those of Bomber Command! Statistics show that one-third of all Bomber Command aircrew were Canadian. More than 10,000 Canadians perished during the raids. It took 67 years, but on June 25 of last year – three days before the Queen unveiled the new memorial in London – the Conservative government in Canada announced a special bar would be struck and presented to this country’s Bomber Command veterans. Contribution ignored
Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE
At the end of the war special medals were presented to veterans of various campaigns. But nothing was given to those who flew in the long and dangerous bombing war. Last month, a year after it was announced, recently named Veterans Affairs Minister Julian Fantino gave out the first of the special honour to Bomber Command veterans. Small groups of vets were selected in order to allow the Tories to gain some publicity for the long-delayed honour. An estimated 1,500 others will receive their awards in the mail. Last week I read a column critical of the current process. The writer pointed out that the public presentations involving the minister (Fantino) took precedence over getting the awards to all of the other elderly veterans. Most surviving WWII participants are now in their late 80s or 90s. The column I read says the bulk of the awards were held back until the public ceremonies were completed. At this stage I don’t feel that is a particularly relevant complaint. The only thing that matters is that the honour is finally being dis-
tributed to those who earned it. There isn’t a government in the world that isn’t going to blow its own horn relative to this sort of thing. Nothing is perfect and I believe the current Canadian government deserves credit for getting the job done. The award is nearly seven decades late meaning a succession of governments failed to take the matter in hand. As a result thousands of veterans never lived to receive the recognition they so richly deserve. All of them put their lives on the line in the service of our country. In June I had the privilege of interviewing an air force veteran who was part of Bomber Command. The session is part of a DVD series of historical interviews produced for the Town of Carleton Place. Vic Gilmour, a former building inspector for the Town of Carleton Place, was a tail gunner in a Lancaster bomber. He was part of a seven member, multi-national crew that flew seven bombing missions over Germany. Vic is 93 now. But his memo-
ries of those long ago raids are vivid and incredibly detailed. He calls the experience “really scary� and based on the harrowing tales he told Councillor Jerry Flynn and me, along with videographer Rob Newton, there’s no doubt how dangerous the task was. Vic says flying for Bomber Command was the most dangerous duty of the European war. Interviewing WW II veterans has become a calling for me. The Bomber Command situation makes me think of Merchant Navy veterans who, for 60 years, weren’t officially recognized for their efforts during WW II. Our Merchant Navy people were not given equal status with Royal Canadian Navy veterans, even though their contribution to the war effort was extremely significant. Bomber Command airmen such as Vic Gilmour waited even longer. They were made to feel like the forgotten veterans. They felt vilified as well as forgotten. Criticism stings For Bomber Command veterans in Canada there were a num-
ber of low points in the post-war criticism. One came in the early 1990s when CBC-TV aired a documentary which questioned and criticized aspects of the aerial onslaught. In fairness that program was aimed more at the British High Command who ordered the bombing and not at aircrew. More recently a display at the new Canadian War Museum contained words that offended veterans. The wording on one panel in the display was subsequently modified after a rash of complaints. To me the bottom line here is that Bomber Command members took on an incredibly difficult and dangerous task and more than 55,000 of them made the supreme sacrifice. Nearly 70 years later that fact is finally being recognized in Great Britain and Canada. Sadly, for most Bomber Command veterans the recognition comes too late!

commercial images of a Ford Focus parking itself are well ingrained into our collective memories.

with this perspective. Autonomous driving will be treated like many current vehicle systems such as anti-lock brakes or park-assist and warning systems. A certain percentage of drivers will increase their risk-taking driving habits believing new advances will make them and their vehicles more invincible. This won’t necessarily make them any safer. Some car owners will actually use these systems as intended and therefore derive the benefits of extended radar and camera vision capabilities as well as split-second braking. And of course some will look for the off-button as soon as they leave the dealer’s lot. Drivers as a rule are very difficult to pigeon-hole into one category or another and of course they tend to change with years and experience on the road. One thing my crystal ball does tell

namely drive them into the ground. Others fear it will be used as a crutch allowing more distractions to take place in our cars alleviating us of the responsibility for safe travel. But as with most automotive technology these systems have been and will continue to be introduced bit by bit and many vehicles currently on the road already have some type of autonomous system to keep things on the straight and narrow. Lane departure prevention systems will automatically apply the brakes on only one side of a vehicle to ‘steer’ it back into its lane when it detects a drift without the signal being activated. Collision mitigation systems are optional equipment on some upscale vehicles and can either increase braking power, or in some cases apply the brakes without driver intervention to avoid a frontal collision.

Lifestyle – “Hi Brian, I live in a rural area, which makes it almost impossible to complete this test (emissions readiness test). It takes me 20 minutes to get to the 401, and its 25 minutes to Belleville...by the time I drive the highway, I am 10 minutes over the test (10 minutes at highway speed). If you go over the amount of time on these tests, does it affect the result? Thanks in advance, K” I think you may be confusing the method suggested to reset an auto’s computer (described on Ontario’s Environment Ministry’s website as preparing for the readiness test) with the current emission test. Unless your vehicle has had its battery disconnected recently, or had electronic work/repairs done which necessitated the need to erase the engine computer’s memory, you do not have to do any special driving to prepare it for an emission test. The overwhelming majority of vehicles tested under the new system (more than 95 per cent) do so without any special preparation. Now that more than one automaker is revealing hard plans for self-driving cars (Nissan recently announced intentions to have an autonomous vehicle on the road by 2020, GM states they are working on the same for certain Cadillacs, and Tesla says they’ll be ready in three years), are the rest of us ready to share the road with computerdriven vehicles? We’ve all heard of the Google hardware and software equipped vehicles that have been touring on test tracks and public roads for some years now (several U.S. states enacted legislation to permit licensing). But what will our roads look like in ten years or so when computer-driven vehicles start to drive with us. Some naysayers state that allowing robots to pilot our cars will do for our driving skills what the calculator did to our math abilities, or what smart-phones and social media have done to our socializing talents,

THE EMC - 26 - Thursday, October 10, 2013
Arts – On Oct. 19, Laura Smith returns to Perth for a show at the Studio Theatre. Smith, who gave a stunning performance on the main stage at last summer’s Stewart Park Festival, is a former East Coast Music Award winner, a multiple Juno nominee and is returning now to the stage after a 15-year hiatus away from the spotlight. Now she is back with a brilliant new album entitled ‘Everything is Moving.’ “Five years ago she was a fragile bird fallen from the nest. She soars beautifully today. May it ever be so,” says Bill Margoson of WDCB in Chicago. In Smith’s music, real emotions ebb and flow. Smith’s music is direct and honest. “My work is all very simple, earth-based,” says the Maritime-based singer/songwriter. Her work is not so much written, as painstakingly designed, cut and stitched together. “Like quilt craft,” she explains. “I make it body and soul, with everything I have available – my sensibilities, my ability to play. So many things come into the making of a song. When I say write, it limits what I bring to bear.”
Her 1994 album ‘b’tween the earth and my soul’ elicited unbounded critical acclaim, enormous airplay, national television appearances and a hungry demand for live performances. In 1996, she won two East Coast Music Awards (Female Artist, Album of the Year) and two Juno nominations (for Best New Solo Artist and Best Roots and Traditional Album). In 1997, she won a Gemini Award for Best Performance in a Performing Arts Program or Series. In May 2003, Smith received an Honorary Doctorate in Humanities from Mount Saint Vincent University on the strength of her songwriting. Now following a standing ovation at last summer’s festival, Smith returns to Perth and the intimate setting of the Studio Theatre. This is a show that folks won’t want to miss. Smith performs at the Studio Theatre (63 Gore Street East) Saturday, Oct. 19 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $25 each and are available at Shadowfax and the Studio Theatre box office.

manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s instructions before applying the repellent on yourself or children. When you return from the outdoors, check your entire body thoroughly for ticks. If you find an attached tick, remove it promptly using a pair of tweezers. Grasp the tickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. Watch for signs of infection following a tick bite. Bites from ticks infected with Lyme disease may create a bullâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s-eye-like rash. The appearance of this rash is a sure sign of a tick bite and you should see your health care provider. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;bullâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyeâ&#x20AC;? rash will occur within one to three weeks after the bite, but can range from three days to one month. If you experience any of the following symptoms: a red bulls-eye rash, fever, headache, muscle and joint pain, fatigue and a skin rash, contact your health care provider.

Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 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). There are an increasing number of areas where ticks carrying Lyme disease are found. Lyme disease is regularly found within this 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. An unfed tick indicates that the tick was attached for less than 24 hours; therefore, even if the tick did carry the bacteria it could not have transmitted Lyme disease because it was not attached long enough. What can you do? 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
sure and recreational activities there, take guided tours, learn from staff, help with ecological restoration, and observe sustainable farming that will go on in lands within the park. Indeed, excitement is building for the great potential this park has. On Sept. 14 to 15, the largest Bioblitz in the world was held in the park. The Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto Zoo, Ontario Nature and conservation authorities collaborated with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;citizen scientistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to document all the life they could find in the park in 24 hours.

Oct. 15 SFHS meeting features guest speaker from Hall’s Apple Orchard By CHARLES McLENAGHAN
Community – The next meeting of the Smiths Falls Horticultural Society is on Tuesday, Oct. 15 at 7:15 p.m. at the Smiths Falls Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 95. We are now selling 2014 memberships, which will gain you entrance to this meeting and the annual general meeting (AGM) in November as well as all of next year. Single membership remains at $10 and family living in the same household is $15. Our guest speaker is Kim Hall of Hall’s Apple Orchard near Brockville. She will be speaking on “Apples, Apples, and Apples”. She will talk about their business which has been in existence for many years, the products available and much more. You will have an opportunity to buy some of the products so you may want to bring a little cash. The photo contest winners for September were, Pauline Armstrong first, Carol Stanley second and Bob Stanley third. Theme for October, the last chance to gain those points is “The Harvest”.
Our final flower show is a fun show with winners determined by popular choice. Class 1 is any annual or perennial, one stem, Named. Class 2, “Your Garden’s Last Hurrah” – is a design using the best of your last. No points are awarded for this show. We thank Jeanne Dagley for her outstanding contribution to St. Luke Catholic School in Smiths Falls. The school has a beautiful large greenhouse and under Jeanne’s guidance was able to use some aspects of it. They grew a wide selection of herbs, one of Jeanne’s specialties, this year and are now harvesting and preserving them again under Jeanne’s guidance. The herbs and produce grown will be used in the cafeteria lunches. Well done, Jeanne! Pauline Armstrong continued to reach out for corporate members and donors tirelessly. We thank her and the donors and corporate members for supporting our efforts to beautify Smiths Falls. Please visit these businesses to support them in return. The long list of corporate members is in the back of the 2013 yearbook and the sponsors that made
Smiths Falls Horticultural Society donations are on the following page. Many will give a discount if you ask and present your membership card. Events this past summer included the presentation of our annual scholarship to SFDCI graduate Cameron Oosting. We received a letter from Cameron thanking us for assisting him in his endeavors. We wish him well in the landscaping course at Algonquin College. Our annual donation of books to the Smiths Falls Library means some new and unique gardening help is available to the public. Finally, we were honored to be able to dedicate a new park bench overlooking the basin, in Centennial Park, complete with a memorial plaque in memory of Larry Armstrong, longtime member and dedicated director. Thank you to Gary Bisonette, facili-
ties superintendent for Smiths Falls, for assisting with the installation. Our AGM is on Tuesday, Nov. 19 this year and tickets are available at the meeting. Cost is only $15, which includes dinner served by the la-
dies from the legion complete with dessert and tea or coffee. Plaques will be awarded for the annual contests. There will also be a silent auction. Voting for the executive follows, but we have Bob and Louise from Gillagillou Bird store in Almonte with their wonderful assortment of everything for the birds and bird lovers. You may wish to bring some cash to this since there is a good chance something will strike your fancy. You are invited to attend after the din-
FALL
ner if you only want to participate in the elections. We would like to extend our thoughts and prayers to Lorna, our president, and her husband Rick. Rick is quite ill and has been confined to the Kingston Hospital for some time.

1953 Pontiac Laurentian two-door sedan brings back memories Lifestyle – On Sunday, Aug. 18, I attended the annual Tomato Fest Car Show in Leamington, the Tomato Capital of Canada. More than 300 historic vehicles showed up for this day-long event, and one of those vehicles brought back a flood of pleasant memories for me: a fully restored 1953 Pontiac Laurentian two-door sedan owned by Ted Diesbourg of Chatham, Ontario. I landed my first summer job at age 15 in 1957 washing used
cars at our local Pontiac–Buick dealership for 50 cent an hour. One of the cars I washed nearly every day was a green 1953 Pontiac Laurentian two-door sedan. Ted bought his Pontiac Laurentian in 2002 from the daughter of the original owner, John Botek, who purchased the car from Finley Motors, a PontiacBuick dealership at Richmond and Lecroix in Chatham. Mr. Botek owned a variety store a couple of blocks from the deal-
ership and did not drive his car very often. When he died in 1958, the car was passed on to his wife, who did not drive at all. Their daughter lived in Detroit and occasionally drove the
car during her visits to Chatham. The car was last licensed for the road in 1967. For the next 35 years, the car sat in a damp semi-detached garage and suffered rust damage. Even the radiator and heater core had rusted out. When Ted bought the car in 2002, the odometer showed 30,184 original miles. He treated the car to a complete body-off restoration and com-

driver’s license in Tilbury. He now works as an auto mechanic on Park St. W. in Chatham. His dad passed away last year at age 96 but not before going for a ride in Ted’s restored Laurentian.

pleted the work ten years later, in 2012. It is refinished in the original Regatta Blue, the same colour that was on the car when it rolled off the Oshawa assembly line 60 years ago. Ted contacted the Vintage Vehicle Service at GM in Oshawa and learned from George Zampora that his car was #853 of a total of 1,935 Pontiac Laurentian two-door sedans built for 1953. All the numbers match on Ted’s car. Ted’s father had purchased a two-tone blue 1953 Pontiac Laurentian two-door sedan in 1955 and it became the family car for the next 11 years.

OHTO conference, AGM set for Oct. 28 News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Tourism businesses and travel-lovers from across the Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Highlands region are invited to attend the third annual tourism conference and annual general meeting (AGM) hosted by Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Highlands Tourism Organization (OHTO). The theme of the event, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Taking Tourism to the Next Levelâ&#x20AC;?, will encourage attendees to think outside the box about rural tourism and discover the innovative ways the OHTO is working with local communities to support tourism development. The event will take place at Trudeauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Resort and Banquet Hall in Tweed on Monday, Oct. 28. The OHTO welcomes current members, as well as the general public, to come out and network about tourism issues, engage in keynote sessions and learn about OHTO programs and benefits. Early registration is encouraged to secure a spot: the event is expected to draw a crowd due to an incentive that rewards the first 50 out-of-town registrants with a $20 gas card. Attendance is free. The organization looks forward to sharing its successes and announcing new opportunities for community involvement. This October marks the OHTOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third anniversary, and with a continuously growing membership that now sits at 730 businesses, Nicole Whiting, executive director, says she
is excited about the partnerships the organization is developing across the region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This event is yet another opportunity to reinforce the message of how cooperation and collaboration can overcome the resource limitations most communities are experiencing regarding tourism development,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are many ways we can work together as an industry, but we need everyone to take part in the conversation.â&#x20AC;? Doors open at 9:30 a.m. and the event will start at 10 a.m. with a welcome by the OHTO board of directors and staff. Following the AGM, afternoon sessions will feature Glenn Mandziuk, president and chief executive officer of the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Region in British Columbia, who will speak about his first hand experiences from the tourism trenches. Later, Dan Fallak and Emily Arbour of Small Town Thinking will explore how small town pride can have a big impact on tourism. Those interested in attending must register in advance at www.ohto.ca, or by calling Stephanie Hessel, OHTO tourism development & industry relations coordinator at 855-629-6486.

Serve with a small dish of soy sauce and some additional wasabi. Preparation time: 10 minutes Marinating time: 30 minutes Serves four Ingredients • 1 fresh trout fillet, skin on (about 12 oz/375 g) • 2 tbsp (25 mL) soy sauce • 1 tbsp (15 mL) each liquid honey and rice vinegar • 2 tsp (10 mL) each wasabi paste and finely minced fresh gingerroot • 1-1/4 cups (300 mL) water • 1 cup (250 mL) sushi rice (short-grain rice), well rinsed in cold water • 1/4 cup (50 mL) seasoned rice vinegar • 1 tbsp (15 mL) toasted sesame seeds • 4 toasted nori sheets • Half greenhouse sweet yellow pepper, thinly slivered • 1 carrot, thinly slivered • 8 stalks watercress Preparation instructions Rinse fish under cold water; pat dry.

Affleck film offers common theme, predictable result MOVIE: Runner Runner STARRING: Ben Affleck, Justin Timberlake, Gemma Arterton, and Anthony Mackie DIRECTOR: Brad Furman RATING: 14A Arts – Heroes getting entangled in impossible situations has been a common theme of late. Runner Runner is one of the better films along those lines though that’s not saying much. As the son of a gambler Ritchie Furst (Justin Timberlake) understands risk. With every move he make he calculates his odds. So when he decides to win his tuition to Princeton by playing on-line poker he’s fairly confident he can do it. At first everything goes according to the numbers, and Ritchie looks like he might pull it off right up to the moment he loses it all. It’s one thing to lose playing poker, but it’s something entirely different to be cheated. Ritchie does a little number crunching, and spots a flaw in the on-line program that’s allowing someone to cheat. Ritchie decides to take one more risk, and fly down to Costa Rica to confront the
My Take MARK HASKINS
man who owns the site; Ivan Block (Ben Affleck). In the world of on-line gambling no one is bigger or more powerful than Ivan Block. He’s also most wanted by the F.B.I. which is why he operates out of Costa Rica. Nonetheless Ritchie walks into one of Block’s parties to bring him the proof that someone is using his site to cheat. You might expect Block to throw Ritchie out or worse, but he doesn’t. Instead Block meets with Ritchie the next day and offers him a job. It’s the chance of a lifetime and Ritchie jumps at it. Ritchie finds himself doing the kind of work he was born to do, and living the kind of life he’s dreamed of living. What he doesn’t realize is when you start out on that slippery slope you have no idea how steep it is until the slide is out of control. When F.B.I. agent
Shavers (Anthony Mackie) grabs him to shake him down, Ritchie begins to see Block has him trapped with no way to win. On the surface Runner Runner is a slick looking film. It’s set in the tropical paradise of Costa Rica, it has a smart and attractive cast, and there’s an intriguing plot centred around corruption and the world of on-line casinos. Now scratch that surface and you get kind of a mediocre and predictable story. It’s not a terrible film by any means. It’s well acted and well executed, but it doesn’t have anything special either. You know the characters and the story from a hundred other films just like it, and Runner Runner fails to put any kind of a fresh spin on it. This is a smart and attractive cast though. Gemma Arterton heats up the screen. Anthony Mackie is surprisingly good as the hardnosed F.B.I. agent. Justin Timberlake is very good as Ritchie, and Ben Affleck nails the corrupt Block. Did I need to see Runner Runner in the theatres? No. Is it a good movie to throw into the DVD player? Absolutely. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

Vets of 1812 honoured with graveside markers By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
News – They not only fought back the American invasion, but founded a great town in the process. It’s a worthy legacy for any generation, which is why the graves of Perth’s veterans of the War of 1812 were recently decorated with graveside plaques at the Old Burying Grounds cemetery on Oct. 2. “We are met here today to remember the veterans of the War of 1812,” said Dr. John Fowler of St. James Anglican church. “They contributed to the estab-
lishment of the town of Perth. We bless and honour and sanctify these markers… “This is a special day, to truly remember and remember that phrase, ‘Lest we forget,’” said Mayor John Fenik, when then called on all of those present to remember “the essence and the energy of those that came before us.” Plaques are being installed at many cemeteries across Canada by the Historic Military Establishment of Upper Canada, with funding from Canadian Heritage. The program recognizes the contribution of the War of 1812’s
veterans to the defence of the nation, and their help in establishing the modern Canada that we know today. Perth is uniquely situated to celebrate the War of 1812. It was Canada’s first planned community, and being founded as a military settlement in 1816, most of its first inhabitants were veterans of that war, which had ended in December 1814 (January 1815 if you count the Battle of New Orleans). The honoured Perth War of 1812 veterans are: • Roderick Matheson • Alexander Fraser

THE EMC - P1 - Thursday, October 10, 2013
Business – The bride wore white, and the town is seeing plenty of green. In her latest update to town council, heritage tourism manager Karen Rennie revealed that the number of weddings that are choosing to use Stewart Park as an idyllic backdrop for those allimportant wedding photos are on the rise. There were 33 wedding shoots in the park during the 2013 wedding season, down slightly from the 42 in the summer of 2012, but so far, 28 weddings have booked the park for 2014 – so far. “The Crystal Palace is being utilized and (is) making money for us,” said Rennie during a presentation at committee-ofthe-whole on Tuesday, Oct. 1. In order to keep the photos looking great, and the wedding parties coming, enhancements have been made to the perennial gardens in the park. The town is also partnering with local businesses, like Apropos Flowers, to make a bride’s day more memorable, and Last Duel Park is seeing some spill over, with young couples also booking that site for weddings. For Rennie, her goals are to make Perth the tourism hub of the county, to increase the number of tourists visiting Perth during the Rideau Canal’s shoulder season, and to get tourists to spend more money while they are in town. Upcoming events include the ghost walk and the Civitan’s haunted house. While bride’s may love Stew-
art Park’s backdrop, festival industry organizers can’t get enough of the annual Stewart Park Festival, a highlight of any July, which was voted one of the top 100 such events in Ontario, bringing fame to a town which already boasts a big signature event, the annual Kilt Run. “We increased our souvenir (sales),” this year, said Rennie, who is already planning a new festival for the shoulder season. New tourism signage is already planned for the new year, and she is planning a wedding show. On the dollars and sense side of things, the town’s economic development officer, Casey Buchanan, reminded council of her work on the community improvement plan, for which all 14 applicants have been approved. One of the highlights for Buchanan this past summer saw a CBC mini-series being filmed in town. She revealed that she was only approached by the locations manager for the project in July, with filming rolling on Aug. 21. “Some (businesses) had their best day ever of the summer,” said Buchanan, with film staff filling the stores downtown. Another success was the mayor’s breakfast held for Highway 7 businesses, some of whom had felt a little out of the loop from town hall. “Some said that they hadn’t heard from the town in years,” said Buchanan. In other business news, 17 new or relocated businesses were welcomed recently, and See TOURISM page P5

LOCAL NEWS PARKING From front page
“How is that any different from coming out of here, with 50 cars here, and 50 cars there, and easing out?” Whyte asked. As head of the protective services committee, Coun. Jim Boldt said he had fielded numerous phone calls and emails about parking on Sunset, and has paid the site a visit. “My job is to make sure that it is safety first,” said Boldt. “We have a serious problem on Craig Street,” and that all arterial roads need to be looked at. Trying to pull out onto Sunset himself during one inspection, Boldt relayed to council that “I felt I was taking my life in my hands, to inch out, inch out. When I thought it was clear, I had to gun it. I’m surprised there haven’t been more accidents there…Arterial roads should not have parking on either side.” William Beacham, vice president and general manager of Leo Adams Investments, which owns the former Brown Shoe Factory building, also addressed council about the matter, and made a number of invitations, including an offer to Gemmell to “come see about parking
Connected to your community
your bus at our place. We’d be happy to accommodate any residents of Sunset Boulevard for temporary, non-commercial parking. It is part of being a good corporate citizen.” Beacham noted that the parking issue was of concern to not only his employees but clients as well. “This is about the 40 or 50 people who work there every day and the hundreds and thousands of people who go in and out of there every day,” said Beacham. “Their line of sight is impaired.” He asked that consideration be given to banning parking on the north side of the street. “I concur with you that it is a problem,” said Boldt. Neil Fennell has been a resident of Sunset Boulevard for more than 36 years, and told council that “the shoulder is not a private parking lot. The shoulder of a highway… is really a safety feature. It was never intended to be a parking location.” The town had proposed restricting parking on the north side of Sunset from 20 metres east of Mather Street westerly to the town limits, and to restrict parking on the south side from 7 to 9:30 a.m. and from 3:30 to 6 p.m., Monday to Friday.
Because by-law enforcement officers tend to only be on duty from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., “who will enforce the bylaw” after hours? Fennell wondered. “Will this become a police matter, if necessary?” he asked. “Monday to Friday leaves weekends. My fear is that there will be a backlog of parking on the south shoulder.” “The police have enforced it in the past,” said protective services director Jim Connell in reply. “I would expect that they would continue to do so.” The proposal would also restrict the parking of busses with a seating capacity of more than 12 people, or a commercial vehicle with a combined gross weight of more than 9,060 kilograms, on any public street in a residential area for more than two hours. “Staff reports are technical documents,” said Fennell, who urged staff to continue doing their due diligence, but to also “keep in mind the human factor” as well. For him, though, “the answer is no parking, north or south shoulder. Public safety trumps minor inconvenience any day.” Mayor John Fenik noted that hard feelings that the parking issue had generated, especially on Sunset Boulevard.
“This has generated strained relations between neighbours and there is no bylaw we can pass to deal with that,” said Fenik. “If I have learned one thing on my 17 years on council, it is that when it comes to parking, there is no one magic bullet.” At the end of the debate, council voted in favour of the parking restrictions on Sunset Boulevard. A final decision will be made at the next town council meeting. One of the largest demands placed on Craig Street, parking-wise, this past summer, was due to theatre patrons parking on the road around performance time. “There should be no parking on Craig Street because of the geography and elevation,” said Connell who, in his staff report, advocated a ban on parking on Craig’s northerly side, which would extend from Wilson Street out to the town limits near the college. “You know what people are like,” said Coun. Judy Brown. “They want to park where it is convenient. There was ample parking at the theatre.” Eric Cosens, planning director for the Town of Perth, reminded council that the theatre’s owners had gone through the
minor variance process when they had purchased the site, a former car wash. “The issue of parking was addressed,” said Cosens, with the owners being informed that they would have to add 22 parking spots. “There was an anticipation that there would be an overflow,” before, during, and after performances. “You know what’s going to happen next?” asked Fenik. “All of the people going to the theatre will now park on the side streets. And those residents will say, ‘Why were we not told about this?’” Chief administrative officer John de Rosenroll pointed out that those residents “would not have received direct notification of this.” Connell said that he had indeed had contact with area residents about the parking problems. “We have had many complaints from residents of Drummond and Beckwith streets about parking on Craig Street,” said Connell. He heard from those residents that, “as long as their driveways were not affected, they were okay with it (temporary overflow parking.)” Fenik, however, was not entirely convinced. “I think we will have a complaint. We always have a complaint,” said Fenik.

OPP defends declining Highlands crime statistics By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
News – The crime numbers for Lanark Highlands were good for the last quarter – a little too good for George Braithwaite. “I’m just wondering about the accuracy of these numbers,” said Braithwaite, the provincial appointee on the Township of Lanark Highlands police services board, during their meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 1. “On the one hand that is good (low crime numbers), but if we aren’t getting the full picture, that is misleading.” “Our statistics are usually pretty good,” said OPP Staff Sgt. Mike Forster in defending the numbers. He admitted that, “not all of them (crimes or incidents) get reported,” citing car/deer collisions, where a motorist may not report the incident, and simply dump the body of the deer off onto the side of the road. “Assaults are, year to date, a lot lower than they were over the last two years,” said Forster during his presentation. The township also boasted an 80 per cent clearance rate in those crimes, with the provincial average about 90 per cent. “Property crime (is) way down for year to date,” from 52 reported in 2012 to only seven in the township so far for 2013. Break and enters have also seen a 29 per cent clearance rate, and “that’s a pretty good stat for property crime,” Forster said, though he cautioned that that number may rise next spring, once the hunters have cleared out of the area once hunting season has come to a close, and criminals take advantage of vacant cottages and hunt lodges.
Driver charged after hitting cyclist News - On Sept. 24, at approximately 5:10 p.m. the Lanark County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) were called to a motor vehicle collision involving a cyclist. The cyclist was traveling west on Keays Road (Balderson area) when an unknown vehicle traveling in the same direction hit the cyclist. The
As for any break and enters that remain unsolved, “they (the OPP) are looking at some people from out of town. There is no crime spree going on,” said Forster. Year-to-date, mischief is also down in the township. “Drug offences, well, they are way down for sure,” said Forster. “Car/deer collisions appear to be down, but that will go up,” said Forster, with hunting season driving the animals out of the woods and onto the roads.

News – Some residents of Taggart Crescent are not happy that they have to cut the town’s grass. Resident Eric Halpin approached the town’s committee-of-the-whole on Tuesday, Oct. 1 to ask that the covenant applied to 13 houses on the street, mandating that they maintain the grass on their cul-de-sac, be removed. Halpin noted that, this past winter, residents had asked permission to build a skating rink in the cul-de-sac, with Halpin even offering to volunteer to maintain the rink, but “the town decided that the rink was too great a liability to take.” The residents accepted the town’s decision, but it made them wonder: “How can you deny little children a skating rink, but then turn around and compel the residents of Taggart Avenue (to) cut their grass?” Halpin estimated that the residents contribute about $7,000 a year in municipal taxes to the town. “It’s irksome that I have to cut the

Speed sign Lanark Highlands’ new electronic speed sign just needs a licence plate and markings before it is made street-legal, so to speak. “We wanted to put on there, somewhere, police… (but) we won’t put OPP on it but Lanark Highlands PSB,” said PSB chairman Derek Love. “It may go out in the next couple of days,” for service, with its first posting likely in Lanark village. Starting next year, the new Highlands speed sign will be deployed from about March to October. It cost about $12,000 and is expected to last 10 to 12 years. The statistics collected will be sent to the OPP for analysis. “It helps us develop plans,” said Forster. “Any statistics you provide us will help us with targeting areas.” The information collected will also include times of the day and week, “so that we don’t flood the area when there is nothing there,” said Forster, who hastened to add that this was not photo radar.
grass on town property,” said Halpin. “I think it is unfair,” especially when other residents have “direct adjacency” to town-owned parkland and they do not have to maintain those grasses. Jim Connell, director of protective services, explained to council that “the covenant (was) requested by the developer when the houses were built… the public works department at that time was adamant about that (a covenant).” As to the issue of what liability, if any, the town would be held to if someone cutting the grass was injured, Eric Cosens, the director of planning, said that, “I am not sure where the liability would lie. That would be a legal question,” that he did not feel qualified to answer. “It’s never fun when you have to mow someone else’s grass, let alone your own,” said Coun. Jim Boldt, who urged a compromise on the issue. Mayor John Fenik asked that a staff report on the issue be generated for the next committee-of-the-whole meeting, looking at the covenants, how many there were in town, the possibility of their removal, and liability.
As a result of the investigation, a 28-year-old female of Tay Valley Township is charged with careless driving and fail to remain contrary to the Highway Traffic Act of Ontario.

No need for racist charter E
ditorial – Quebec’s proposed Charter of Values is the answer to a question nobody asked. When your economy is struggling, and you have a corrupt political culture, and you’re trying to push a referendum nobody is interested in any more, it almost makes sense that Premier Pauline Marois and her Parti Quebecois ilk would try to set off the political equivalent of a flash bomb to mobilize support. To an extent, it is working – the further you move away from Montreal, the more popular the law becomes. Sure, your base is energized, but then, who were they going to vote for anyway? As a long-term strategy, this law may prove to be counter productive. Former PQ Premier Jacques Parizeau, writing last week in Le Journal de Montreal, said that this law will drive new Quebeckers into the arms of the federalists who are fighting for their right to wear hijabs. This law simply goes after visible minorities. So, why is this such a burning issue now? Why, after this became a defining issue in the 2007 and 2008 Quebec elections, after the Bouchard-Taylor commission hearings into this matter, after repeatedly trotting out the same anecdotes about health clubs being asked to frost out their windows, is this the best the Marois government can come up with? A ban on a niqab or burka, a full face covering, save for eye slits, or full body covering,
makes sense. And no, judges should not be allowed to wear crucifixes. But a ban on a more modest hijab, or the Sikh kirpah or turban, the latter two mandatory professions of faith, is simply racist, and out of place. And notice how there is not a complete ban on crucifixes? Once again, the pequistes love to get out their rulers, but this time, instead of measuring store signs in English to see if they are larger than the French lettering, they will be measuring crucifixes. Seriously, who is going to regulate this? Who determines if a crucifix is too big? Allowing a government to regulate people’s outward professions of faith is a slippery slope and, frankly, the government should take a hands-off approach to regulating how people express themselves. If Marois is truly serious about having a religion-neutral government, the crucifix that hangs in the National Assembly in Quebec City simply must come down. Put it in a museum, or in a historic display at the assembly. Fine. Yes it is a part of Quebec’s history – a very dark time in Quebec’s history. In the 1930s, Maurice Duplessis’ Union Nationale party swept to power, and the crucifix went up, an outward manifestation of the backwards, insular, conservative Catholic atmosphere of the day. It has no place in the secular society that is Quebec, 2013. This law is unnecessary – it is political demagoguery, pure and simple. Sadly, this is just the PQ dividing in the hopes of conquering.

The upsides to a down week
ifestyle - Last week, I gotta tell you, the planets just weren’t aligned. It was one of those weeks where the smallest issues seemed like the Worst. Things. Ever. The whole week felt like when you have a jar that won’t open and rather than take the time to apply the strategies you know (Try a wet cloth! Tap the bottom! Use a tool! Call Dad!), you’d rather smash it against a brick wall. Fortunately, no jars were injured in the making of this column. Every day last week felt like a stereotypical Monday. Some frustrating work-related issues made me want to smack my head against the aforementioned brick wall. (Again, I refrained.) There was pain, though. One evening Girlchild and I went to the track behind the high school to get some exercise, and I ended up with a sore knee for no apparent reason. It’s lingering. Stupid appendages. Why is there always something going on with my appendages? So, I’ve been hobbling around the house looking for sympathy. “Why does my knee hurt?” I whined to my adoring children. “It’s because you’re getting old,” they said without skipping a beat. Right. That. The fact I am practically ancient must be why I experienced some annoying forgetfulness this week, too. (Caution: Sarcasm ahead!) Regular readers may recall the passion and enthusiasm I have for packing school lunches. Next to shoving shards of broken glass jars under my fingernails, it is my favourite thing to do. So you can imagine how thrilled I was the morning I walked into the kitchen to find the lunches I had carefully packed the night before still sitting on the table – unrefrigerated. Oh, unbridled joy and bliss and glee, I get to repack most of it! Hurray! And I hate wasting food.
Speaking of elderly, I am going to blame the cat, in part, for this forgetfulness. Although I love MacGregor dearly, he has not been helpful on the sleep front lately. In fact, one night I found STEPHANIE GRAY myself thinking: “Gosh, wouldn’t it be awesome if I didn’t wake up to the sound of MacGregor barfing in the night?” I don’t miss our upstairs carpeting for a second, especially with a barfy cat around, but things sure do echo loudly in the hallway with it gone. On the morning after my silent plea for a quiet night, I awoke surprisingly well rested. Nice! I made my way down the dark staircase, grabbed a coffee, looked at the newspaper and then headed for the stairs again to start the wake-up drill for the kids. That’s when my foot hit the cold kitty barf. Ew and double ew. Make that quintuple ew, because he hit five steps. How I managed to miss it on the way down I will never ever understand. But at least he didn’t wake me up in the night, right? And that’s what this column is about. In honour of Thanksgiving, a few things for which to be thankful. First, I am thankful for occasionally being able to sleep through the night. Cleaning up trouble is always easier in the morning. I am thankful for not falling down those barfy stairs. I am thankful I have food to pack for the kids, even if I have to pack it twice. I am thankful that, despite occasional frustrations, I have a job. Or two. Or 17. When I think about people I know who are going through some serious health issues, I am thankful for just having a sore knee. And I am thankful that I have a family around to tell me I am old and decrepit.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Perth provincial Police Services Board appointment was already in works: Meilleur This letter is in response to the article entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tweet reliefâ&#x20AC;? that was published in The Perth Courier on Thursday, Oct. 3. I value the relationship that Mayor Fenik and I have built over the years. The mayor is a great advocate for his community, and his professionalism is admirable. The article seems to suggest that only after Mayor Fenik â&#x20AC;&#x153;took to Twitter outside of the (AMO Bearpit) session and vented his frustrationsâ&#x20AC;? did my staff become attentive to the Perth Police Service Board vacancy. This is not exactly what happened. When the mayor voiced his concern during our AMO meeting, I immedi-

Filling police service board vacancies is a lengthy process that includes: receiving applications, interviewing candidates, selecting a candidate, and conducting a candidate background check through the Canadian Police Information Centre. After the background check is com plete, the Orders in Council is required to review the application, and it then has to be approved by Cabinet and subse quently by the Lieutenant Governor in Council.

Lifestyle - Every year at St John High School, the entire school participates in the Terry Fox Run to raise money and awareness for cancer. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s run took place on Sept. 27, which was coincidentally my grandfatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 85th birthday. My grandfather himself has been affected by cancer, and it was a great thing, as his grandson, to watch such a large number of high-spirited students standing up together against such a devastating disease. The course of the Terry Fox Run was on the sidewalks of Perth. The crosscountry running team had the honour of running the course ahead of all the other students, who walked the course in several large groups. Members of the student council were

With so many schools faithfully participating in the Terry Fox Run each year, Terry Foxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name lives on and continues to be an inspiration for those diagnosed with cancer and those attempting to find a cure for it. We hope the money being raised by these events will one day, quite literally, â&#x20AC;&#x153;pay off,â&#x20AC;? and cancer will finally be cured for good. In the meantime, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to see so much school spirit.

Lanark health centre celebrates 20th anniversary By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
News – Like many a 20-yearold, the North Lanark Community Health Centre is looking good, its growing pains behind it. The NLCHC held its birthday party last Friday, Oct. 4 but, in many ways, it is the building itself, and the programs and staff it houses, that has truly been the gift to the community. The story of just how a small village in what is now the Township of Lanark Highlands got its own health centre is an interesting one, and had its roots in a small decision, when the local doctor decided that it was time to retire. Now, 20 years later, the centre boasts more than 3,000 clients. There are teaching rooms, community rooms with separate entrances for non-profit groups to utilize, and unique programs like a telemedicine room, part of TeleHealth Ontario, a dental suite, and an ongoing lung health study. “I wanted to call this (party) ‘They needed a doctor and they got a community health centre, whatever that is!’” joked Colin Sangster, a long-time volunteer and board member. Back in 1990, with Lanark in need of a doctor, the committee that was struck “had no idea what the end result would be.” In 1990, a needs study was begun, and, following approval of a health centre in 1992, by June of 1993, the health centre opened, operating out of the house next door, with the first clients being taken in in September of ’93. “There wasn’t sufficient room for an expanding health centre in a small house,” said Sangster. So, almost as soon as it began, fundraising began to secure a new home, a dream which came to life in 1997. “They started off with some basic health programs and evolved over the years,” said Sangster, with different programs being added on. Starting in 1999, it expanded to sponsor and funding of things like a mental health program, nurse practitioner programs, hospice visiting programs, and more. “(It was) a busy little train, with an engine located here.” In 2001, a “major, major decision was made,” for the group to govern and administer Lanark Community Programs. “We are getting to be a fairsized train,” said Sangster, with more physical building taking place in the last eight years or so. “I like train stories,” joked chair Stephen Bird. “And no train wrecks!” In 2004, a plan was approved to open a satellite community health centre in Renfrew County, in the Whitewater/Bromley community, and in April of 2007, the NLCHC saw the opening of a new wing after 18 months of fundraising. In 2008, an ambulance station was built. Bird noted that the celebration was taking place during Community Health and Well-Being

Week. “We are celebrating the clients of our health centre, our staff, and our community partners,” said Bird. But keeping a community healthy goes beyond making sure that you take your vitamins, get your immunization shots and sneeze into your arm during flu season. “Good health comes from good housing supports, employment, education,” he said. “This health centre responds to the needs of the people.” It wasn’t just local people who were celebrating the centre’s anniversary. Chantale Leclerc, chief administrative officer sent greetings from the Champlain LHIN (Local Health Integration Network). “We are responsible for the health of 1.2 million people,” said Leclerc. “That is a job we take very, very seriously. We monitor that they are doing what they are supposed to be doing.” The LHIN itself is embarking on a three-year program, at the end of which “we want to be able to see results. We want to be able to make sure that seniors get the care they need in their communities…(and get) end of life, palliative care that they need.” Part of recreating the health care system would require buy-in from patients themselves, Leclerc stressed, but it is through health centres, like the one in Lanark, that people can change the way they think about health care. “We cannot say enough about the community health centre,” said Leclerc. “We don’t want the first point of contact to the health care system to be the hospital, the emergency room,” all the time, she said. While Leclerc looked to the near-future of health care, Irene Brown and Wanda MacDonald, looked back fondly to their days getting the centre up and run-
ning. “I have never met a group of people with more determination,” said MacDonald of the committee chair led by Irene Brown. Needless to say, they would need that determination because getting health care funding “can be one of the most convoluted journeys you will ever take on your life,” said MacDonald. In order to persevere, the women knew that they needed three body parts – a wish bone, a back bone, and a funny bone, the latter of which they certainly had in spades, when a minister came to visit from Queen’s Park, and was met with members of the committee dressed up with cigarette butts dangling from their lips, beer bottles in hand, decked out in dungarees and checkered shirts. “Look what I have to work with!” MacDonald remembered telling her Toronto visitor, pointing to her motley crew. A more serious incident though showcased not only the power of their team work, but the need for a medical facility in the village too. “I think that the ice storm demonstrated how solid the organization was,” said MacDonald, the centre’s first executive director. Back in January of 1998, as the freezing rain fell, there was no power, and trees blocked off critical roads. “We had to think about our own homes as well as the health centre,” remembered MacDonald. The first night of the ice storm, she and her comrades slept on chairs in the centre, “and we welcomed the township in,” with a generator in the back to help run any medical equipment. The army came in to set up cots in the front, and with help from the municipality, the health centre helped people to pull through a difficult time.
“I’m very proud that I have seen this program right through,” said Brown. “I had a lot of good help. I didn’t know what I was doing at first!” While the health centre has certainly paid dividends for the community in the past two decades, in the early 1990s, there were some who harboured serious doubts about the proposal, and were not shy about telling Brown so. “It was tough in the beginning,” Brown admitted. “Some people did not agree with this project at all.” One critic in particular “had me in tears, saying ‘Oh, it (the centre) will bring in the welfare (people).’” On the day the centre opened in 1993, that same critic dropped in to check the new facility out. Brown was on crutches
at the time, and MacDonald held on to Brown’s crutches and said “Don’t kill him, don’t kill him!” John Jordan, the centre’s current executive director, paid tribute to his predecessor, MacDonald. “She does leave a very strong centre,” he said. “I don’t think I’ve screwed it up yet!” For Jordan, the birthday party was indeed a celebration of community. “The people of this community are proud of this centre, and to have it here,” said Jordan. “I know this because they tell me, because they volunteer. Because they send in testimonials about the care they received.” For Jordan, team work is another part of helping bring patients the care that they need, without always having to journey
to Ottawa for care. “Interdisciplinary care is where the future of health care is,” said Jordan, pointing to the dental suite, which was brought about thanks to help from the public health unit. “It’s not just primary care, it’s not just about acute care, it’s about keeping an eye on the community’s health.” Past chair Ann Munroe wrapped up the afternoon’s festivities with the unveiling of a donor wall. “Over the past 20 years, this community has donated more than $200,000 to this health centre,” Munroe said. “That is a colossal amount for a rural centre. We are giving tribute to everyone who made this possible.” The donor wall was designed by local artist Stephen Brathwaite.

Lanark Highlands proposes fire services cutbacks, station closures of staff and calls.” He went on to note that the truck in Watson’s Corners alone cost over $7,800 to safety that year. A 2011 Lanark Highlands Fire Service Review also identified deficiencies in the Lanark Highlands Fire Service, and provided multiple recommendations, including the building of new fire stations in Lanark and Middleville and the closure of the three substations. The report pointed out that the Watson’s Corners building in particular has no facilities for volunteers and is not suitable for fire department operations. “We’re behind the eight-ball trying to catch up the fire service,” Black stated. The review conceded that “the recommended closing of the substations may create concern from residents in the vicinity” but clarified that “with limited call volume and very few volunteers these stations cannot provide safe or effective services.” The issues with fire service in Lanark Highlands are twofold – they stem from a lack of budget dollars and a lack of volunteer firefighters.

News - Find a way to keep the Watson’s Corners fire substation open was the message delivered to Lanark Highlands fire Chief Rod Black at a public information meeting on Oct. 5. More than 30 residents turned out to voice their concerns to the proposed closure which could effectively double response times to calls in their area and simultaneously raise home insurance premiums. The proposed Watson’s Corners closure is one of three substations recommended for closure within Lanark Highlands. The other two substations include the Robertson Lake and Joe’s Lake stations. A public information meeting has already been held in the Robertson Lake area while another meeting is scheduled at Joe’s Lake for Oct. 19 at 10 a.m. The closure of the three substations will leave Lanark Highlands under the care of five fire stations located in Lanark Village, Tatlock, McDonalds Corners, Middleville and White Lake. During the meeting Black clarified the three stations scheduled for closure are “substations” only.

ber of firefighters available to respond to calls during the day. Black proposed that by closing the three substations there will be more firefighters available to respond to calls for the remaining five stations. “It takes five to seven years to train a volunteer firefighter,” Black pointed out. “The problem with firefighters is they only last about five years due to family commitments and job commitments.” McDonalds Corners District Chief Paul Sullivan explained that although firefighter numbers may seem high overall at approximately 75 volunteer within Lanark Highlands, the numbers that respond to daytime calls is much smaller. “From six in the morning to six at night you’re lucky to get 20 firefighters responding,” Sullivan said. Sullivan also noted that the age of many of the fire vehicles is another issue, adding additional maintenance and replacement costs. Mayor Peter McLaren confirmed that there was money originally in the fire budget for the capital purchase of a new vehicle but it was
removed to purchase needed breathing apparatus equipment. “That shouldn’t have happened,” McLaren acknowledged, noting it is an insurance liability for the township if a fire service vehicle exceeds 25 years in age. The replacement and maintenance costs for vehicles and call volumes for each of the three substations were distributed at the meeting. The average replacement cost for a tanker was approximately $150,000 with maintenance costs ranging from $5,000 to $12,000 annually. The Watson’s Corners substation received nine percent of the calls, Robertson Lake received four per cent and Joe’s Lake received two per cent. “I can’t justify putting a new fire truck in for three per cent of the calls,” Black said. Lanark Highlands resident, Richard Bowman, took exception to Black’s comment, countering with, “Three per cent of the calls might be one or two houses burning down,” echoing concerns of other residents that the closures will mean fire response will be too slow to save lives and homes. Bowman was also unimpressed with the potential for insurance rates in the area to rise as a result of the substation closure. Crystal Rodger asked if the township could leave a pump in Watson’s Corners and have residents sign a liability waiver to waive township liability due to the age of the tanker. Black replied that wasn’t an option.
good thing to improve services with an eye on the budget but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a solution out there to the problem. “If you have a problem you can’t solve in the traditional way you need to think outside the box,” Berlin said, “We’re never going to be up to provincial standards, what we want is to get things better and not have it cost the earth.” Berlin also called the public information meeting advertising “dishonest” and misleading to the public since it was titled “Reallocation of Fire Equipment” and didn’t identify that it was about the closure of the substation. Mary Gilmore voiced her concerns about the proposed closure, pointing out that the current Lanark Highlands council was elected on a campaign of keeping costs low. “The thing I’ve heard throughout this conversation is there isn’t enough money. Now we find we are in very serious trouble with fire services which is an essential service,” Gilmore said. “A Township that doesn’t have good basic fire service isn’t going to attract people to live here.” Black said if he had all the money in the world he’d be happy to leave the three substations open, but budget limitations make the closures a necessity. “I’m here to provide the best service possible in the safest way possible.”
The substation closures for Watson’s Corners, Joe’s Lake and Robertson Lake will still need to be formally approved Susan Berlin said she believes it’s a by Lanark Highlands council.

Rubber duckies carry Perth Olympic hopeful to skating glory
R0012269585_0822
Sports - Olympic hopeful Myles Matheson has the support of his family, friends, community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and more than 5,000 rubber duckies â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in his race to represent Canada at next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Olympics in Russia. Matheson returned from his studies and training in Calgary, Alta., on Sept. 28, to pick up a cheque for $5,241 from Cobra Pools and Spas on Highway 7 in Perth. For $5, people could purchase a rubber duckie over the summer months. Each duckie was numbered and Matheson himself drew the winning entry for the prize of a hot tub. At left, owner Bill Brady presents the cheque for the ďŹ nal amount to Matheson, who will face his speed skating trials on Dec. 28, to qualify for Team Canada.

EcoPerth moves forward with Food Hub project, surveys News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The first step in an ambitious project launching a Local Food Hub in the Lanark County and North Leeds region is currently under way. The Food Hub Assessment Study, coordinated by ecoPerth, explores the logistics of creating a centralized aggregation, storage and distribution facility for local food in the region. The Food Hub concept is an innovative approach to local food distribution that is rapidly moving into the mainstream in Canada. Although Food Hubs can appear in many different forms, it is essentially a centrally located facility dedicated to coordinating aggregation and distribution of locally grown foods to the benefit of both growers and purchasers. One of their main goals is to help recreate the local food infrastructure that has been lost over the past several decades. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Food Hubs are an important link in the local food chain,â&#x20AC;? Cheryl Nash, ecoPerth representative, explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It answers the questions like how best can local growers and farmers aggregate, process and market their goods? How can they most easily get what they grow into the hands of purchasers?â&#x20AC;? The local Food Hub concept has already taken a foothold in other parts of Ontario. With similar projects cropping up in other areas close to home like Ottawa
and Hawkesbury, local Food Hubs can also provide the opportunity to link different regions and resources. With the imminent introduction of Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Local Food Act, the Lanark County and North Leeds Food Hub project couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be timelier. The Act could lead to an increased institutional demand for local food and the Food Hub would provide a key infrastructure component to accelerate the local food movement in this region. Nash explained ecoPerth envisions the Lanark County and North Leeds Food Hub project to not only represent a storage and distribution facility but eventually become a community facility with equipment sharing and one where growers and purchasers can take advantage of valuable resources and training. Potentially facility locations are being explored in the Smiths Falls area due to its central location and accessibility to both growers and markets in Eastern Ontario. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This project offers a starting point for engaging the community, not only local food growers and purchasers, into the local food debate,â&#x20AC;? Nash said.Nash added that ecoPerth took on the project as the result of a local food networking event held last November. Both farmers and buyers expressed a need for some form of coordinated production, marketing and centralized pur-
chasing. In early 2013, a steering committee of representatives from various sectors was formed to work on the project, including municipal leaders, private citizens, government organizations and farmers. Thanks in part to funding received in Aug. 2013 the Food Hub project is now moving full steam ahead. EcoPerth is currently undertaking a survey of growers and purchasers in the region, the first step in the Food Hub Assessment Study. The surveys canvas farmers, grocery stores, restaurants, institutions and other food service industries to both determine what the demand is for local food and quantify that demand. The survey results will provide an accurate measure to allow producers to better supply directly to the available demand in the region. The surveys involve direct telephone contact, interviews, and online surveying of growers and buyers. Nash stressed that every effort will be made to reach as many producers and buyers as possible, and has posted the survey document and a link to the online survey on their website at www.ecoperth.on.ca. For more information about the Food Hub project please consult the EcoPerth website or contact Cheryl Nash at 613-2682907 or via email at info@ecoperth.ca.

The Table celebrates National Tree Day with a new tree bearing fruit Community - The Table Community Food Centre celebrated National Tree Day on Sept. 25 by planting an empire apple tree. The tree is the newest addition to our community garden space in Last Duel Park, leased to us by the Town of Perth. Here, beginner and experienced gardeners drop-in to regular group gardening sessions to grow vegetables for themselves and for the many programs offered through The Table. Growing apples diversifies our harvest and increases access to local fruit. We hope to see more fruit and nut trees planted in Perth over the years and to engage community in harvesting and preparing food from local trees – both new and old. Across Canada, schools and communities celebrated National Tree day by planting and caring for trees. Projects across the country were designed to raise awareness about the “great benefits that trees provide us - clean air, wildlife habitat, reducing energy demand and connecting with nature” (http://www. tcf-fca.ca/national-tree-day). On top of all that trees can provide food – think apples, plums, cherries, mulberries, almonds, walnuts, Lanark County’s fa-
mous maple syrup… and more! Fruit and nut trees add to the diversity of our local food production. In addition to raising awareness, National Tree Day events focus on education and skill-building, also a focus of The Table’s gardening program. Our group gardening sessions provide space for people to learn from each other and to (re)build local skills and knowledge around local food production. During our tree planting gardeners from The Table and parents and kids from the Perth Children’s House Montessori School learned about root stocks, grafting, when to prune, and tips for strong roots. As we continue to care for our apples, we will (re)build skills for local fruit production. We also learned that empires are a cross between red delicious and Macintosh apple varieties, designed to be a “lunchbox” apple that’s crunchy and resistant to bruising. It’s a fitting variety for us since it won’t be long before the apples we harvest become lunch items for kids in Perth and surrounding areas. We are very grateful to two local companies for making this planting possible: Our new apple tree was donated to us by Terrascapes Landscape and De-
sign Inc. (http://www.terrascapes.ca/), and soil and mulch were donated by Landscape Products Depot (http://www. landscapeproductsdepot.com). Our gardens have also received generous support from Nature’s Path and Rodale Organic Gardening’s ‘Gardens for Good’ grant and from the TD-Friends of the Environment Foundation. We look forward to harvesting apples in the years to come!
The Table Community Food Centre will be hosting a garden workshop series over the winter that covers planning and crop rotations, seed selection, growing transplants, and pruning. Our weekly group gardening sessions start up again in May, 2014. For more information or to get involved, contact April at 613-267-6428 ext. 7 or april.thetable@ gmail.com. If you like the programs you read
about in The Perth Courier, Help set The Table. From Oct. 5 until Nov. 15, The Table Community Food Centre will holding its annual Harvest Campaign. We invite you to make a donation to support the cooking and gardening, meals and food bank, advocacy and social justice programs we offer.

Cloudy water situation no clearer on McLean Boulevard By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
News – There is no clear solution for making McLean Boulevard’s water supply clear again. “The staff can’t seem to put their finger on what is happening,” said Coun. Ed McPherson, during Perth’s committee-of-the-whole meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 10. “There is a problem with the water on McLean Boulevard. It (the problem) would go away, (then) it comes back. I think we
owe the people on McLean Blvd.” However, McPherson hastened to add: “I don’t blame town staff. They are trying their best,” and have been trying to flush out the water pipes, to no avail. As such, McPherson asked that McLean Blvd. be moved up the line for water pipe rehabilitation, from the four year wait they are now looking at in the line-up. “The street wasn’t built properly,” said McPherson. “It was built by a private contractor in 1965.”
Even if the water was still safe to drink was beside the point for Deputy Mayor John Gemmell. “Whether you can drink it or not, it is still coloured,” said Gemmell. Environmental services director Grant Machan told the committee that “we haven’t look at it, at the financial level, yet,” for moving the project up the list, since places like Boulton Street are also having problems with their water. Mill Street is also having problems with its small diameter drain, to the point where, if a tap is being run, it means
that the house’s toilet cannot be flushed. “(But) McLean is definitely on the list and there is flexibility,” said Machan. Church Street is another problem street, which Mayor John Fenik said he has driven down, though “I wouldn’t even call it a street.” He called for a discussion on how to “expand the public works budget.” Town staff were directed to submit a report to council by November about the costs and timelines for all town streets.

Come ye thankful New minister rolls into town on his motorcycle people, come! By CANON CHRISTINE PIPER Religion Today
Community - The English tradition of celebrating harvest festival in churches began in 1843, when the Reverend Robert Hawker invited parishioners to a special thanksgiving service at his church at Morwenstow in Cornwall at which Victorian hymns such as ‘We plough the fields and scatter’, ‘Come ye thankful people, come’ and ‘All things bright and beautiful’ were sung. Traditionally on this day the first fruits and vegetables from farmer’s fields and people’s gardens are brought to Church in thanksgiving and afterwards given to those in need. An early example of this movement of offering in thanksgiving the first fruits of our labours back to God dates back to an ancient English harvest festival called Lammas, meaning ‘loaf Mass’. Farmers made loaves of bread from the fresh wheat crop. These were given to the local church as the communion bread during a special service thanking God for the harvest. Early English settlers took the idea of harvest thanksgiving to North America. A famous one celebration was held by the Pilgrims in 1621. As a liturgical festival, the North American Thanksgiving Festival corresponds to the English and continental European Harvest festival, with churches decorated with cornucopias, pumpkins, corn, wheat sheaves, and
other harvest bounty and with English and European harvest hymns being sung. On Thursday, January 31, 1957, the Parliament of Canada proclaimed: A Day of General Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the bountiful harvest with which Canada has been blessed – to be observed on the 2nd Monday in October. While the massive communications of present day society enable folks to buy desired foods at any time of year, it is easy to lose touch with the significance of bringing in the harvest for the coming winter. Thus it is easy to underestimate the importance of this festival. For years all the folks who made up a farming community worked and pulled together so very hard to bring in the harvest. The supper of first fruits shared by whole communities symbolized that the job was done for one more year and that there would be enough to take a community through a winter. It is interesting to note that in the 1959 Canadian Anglican Book of Common Prayer, there is a prayer for use ‘when that harvest has been defective (B. C. P., p 619)!’ Let us take time this Thanksgiving to give thanks for all the blessings of this life not least as Christian men, women and children for ‘the inestimable love in the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ; for the means of grace, and for the hope of glory (B.C.P., p15).’

Community - St Paul’s United Church is a community of faith in Perth seeking to become a hub of creativity, discovery and growth. Sunday, a new full-time minister, the Reverend Gerald Kerr and his wife, Ida, were welcomed as partners in this ministry. They arrived from Truro, Nova Scotia in late September to live on the outskirts of Perth. Kerr has served as an ordained minister for 11 years. He also brings a wealth of earlier experience in post-secondary education, government research, community service and business. A life-long learner, he is passionate about the ways the Christian community can find its way in a changing and sometimes dangerous world and believes that all ages have a stake in the church’s future. He holds degrees from the University of New Brunswick, Western University and Emmanuel College in the University of Toronto. His interests are broad and varied, ranging from running marathons such as the Toronto Marathon in 2009 and the Boston Marathon in 2011. He enjoys music festivals, Blue Jays games and riding his Honda Shadow Spirit 1100 motorcycle. The Canadian Foodgrains Bank initiative and the Mission & Service Fund of the United Church are two of his outreach passions. Kerr’s interest in running has been serendipitous in his coming to Perth. He happened to be passing through town in June 2011, and signed up for the Kilt Run because of his interest in all things Scottish. He enjoyed Perth so much that when he later heard about an opportunity for ministry here he proceeded to investigate the possibilities. The St. Paul’s search committee was unanimous in its endorsement of Kerr as the new minister for St. Paul’s. On Sept. 28 the congregation hosted a farewell party for their

McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s honours former Perth manager By JENNIFER WESTENDORP jwestendorp@perfprint.ca
News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; McFamous. A term coined by Manager of the Year for McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Michelle Warren. The ever present smile on Michelleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face is evidence enough of why McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chose to honour her during their regional ceremonies this past summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, it was very surprising to hear and a huge honour,â&#x20AC;? said Michelle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing that the people I work for recognize what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing, but McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as well.â&#x20AC;? The ceremonies took place in Toronto, where Michelle was presented with a commemorative plaque and corporate stocks. The regional vice president of McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was in attendance, which made the event even more special. Michelle found out in May that she would be the recipient of the prestigious award for which only the top 10 per cent of McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s managers are eligible. The award is presented to managers in various regions across the country. Michelle received the award for her work at the Perth McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, which is owned by the same franchisee as the Kemptville
location. Michelle worked in Perth for twoand-a-half years, before being transferred to Kemptville in March. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of the things that had to do with me receiving the award were my attention to customer service, ability to build sales and community outreach,â&#x20AC;? she said. Michelle explained that McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is very focused on quality and therefore sends mystery shoppers into all their restaurants. The award also centres around the scores each restaurant receives from these mystery shoppers, who rate each location on quality, efficiency and customer service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gives McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a snapshot of how each restaurant is running,â&#x20AC;? said Michelle. Clearly, something special was going on at the Perth McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This award reflects the work I was doing there,â&#x20AC;? said Michelle. Now, Kemptville residents get to reap the rewards of having Michelle around to serve them delicious burgers and fries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love it here,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The nice thing is this restaurant had a collection of regular customers who I got to know.â&#x20AC;? The franchisee, who owns the Perth, Kemptville, Smiths Falls and Carleton Place McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, took Michelle out for a celebratory dinner after receiving the award. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He also joined me at the ceremony in
Toronto, which was nice,â&#x20AC;? said Michelle. Michelle, a resident of Smiths Falls, has been working for McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for 10 years. In recognition of her commitment, she is set to receive a commemorative ring this year as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was 16-years-old when I started at the Brockville McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s,â&#x20AC;? said Michelle. Her hard work and dedication paid off when two years later she was promoted to swing manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basically, I was the manager who did odd shifts.â&#x20AC;? A further three years of determination resulted in another promotion to store manager. Michelle says she enjoys working for McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and intends to stay with the corporation for many years to come. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My goal would be to continue working with my franchisee. There are always lots of opportunities within McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to move up in the future.â&#x20AC;? Michelle said she is delighted to be working in Kemptville, where the staff are extremely hard working and fun to be around. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love just being able to make a difference in peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s days,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice Photo by JENNIFER WESTENDORP being able to interact with customers and Michelle Warren displays her Manager of the Year award bethe people I work with. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about having hind the cash in the Kemptville McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. a positive impact.â&#x20AC;? R0011948547_0314

Blue Wings turn pink with breast cancer support ribbons By STAFF
Sports – The Perth Blue Wings honed a tinge of pink on Sunday as the team helped to “pink the rink” for breast cancer awareness. Selling pink ribbons throughout town on Saturday, the fan support was huge during Sunday’s 7-4 win over the Gatineau Mustangs. The Blue Wings website thanked the community for its support and states that the team will continue to support the cause throughout the month of October. Friday in Gatineau however, the outcome was a little different as the Mustangs defeated the Blue Wings 8-5. Zac Rodier had two goals for the Blue Wings with singles from Brodie Braun and Brock Stashick. Assists were credited to Blair Barr with two, Stashick, Andrew Davis, Jimmy Pearson, Jaren Burke and Bradley Stitt. Jean-Philippe Giroux earned the win for the Mustangs, while Jeremy Wright was hit with the loss.
At home Sunday, the Mustangs held a 3-0 lead after the first period before the Blue Wings shot back in the second to score five goals. The home team added two more to the visitors single tally for the 7-4 final. Scoring for Perth in the second period were Person with a back-to-back hat trick and Rodier and Barr with singles. Rodier scored on the power play in the third, with another single from Stashick. Assists were credited to Rodier and Austin Lamont with three each, Pearson, Brodie Braun, Christian Bueti and Wright, who was in the crease for the win. Gatineau was hit with 63 minutes in penalties on 14 infractions. Perth was whistled for 31 minutes on six infractions. Coming up, the Blue Wings are on the road again this Friday night as they are in Shawville to take on the Pontiacs. The team will host Metcalfe on Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m.

On Sunday, Oct. 6, fans filled the stands despite the rainy cold outside to watch the Perth Blue Wings take on the Gatineau Mustangs. The game sold “Pink the Rink” Tshirts and was in support of breast cancer research as the boys were out around town on Saturday for the cause. Pictured are some scenes from the home game on Sunday. This weekend, the Blue Wings are on the road Friday night to Shawville, but Sunday, they host the Metcalfe Jets in a 3 p.m. start.

Spartans cruise to easy victories Sports – The St. John Catholic High School Spartans football teams extended their Lanark County Interschool Athletic Association league record to 3-0 after wins at home and in Smiths Falls on Friday, Oct. 4. The seniors hosted the Carleton Place Bears and didn’t show much mercy in a 44-3 drubbing. Several of the players scored touchdowns including Everton Butterworth, Adam Boast, Mike Brown, Jamieson Thompson, Brodie Campbell and Connor Sergeant. The defence was its usual stingy self limiting and frustrating
It’s
the CPHS offence all afternoon. The junior team travelled to Smiths Falls District High School later in the day and defeated the RedHawks 34-0. It was an excellent performance by the SJCHS defence led by veterans Andrew Holmes and Chris Brosso which helped keep at bay SFDCI’s strong ground game. On offence Dawson Rockburne, Tyler Murphy, Noah Noonan and Colin Fowler scored majors for the Spartans. Submitted by SJCHS
