Build a Mountain of Food launches its 11th annual campaign Community food blitzes kick off Nov. 4 in Almonte, Carleton Place support the Portland Food Bank. Later in the afternoon, from 1 to 4 p.m., the campaign will be in Merrickville at the Merrickville Food Market for the Merrickville Lions Club Christmas Food Hamper Campaign.

The final food blitz takes place Saturday, Dec. 16 in Athens from 9 a.m. to noon at the Athens Fresh Market in support of the Athens Food Bank.

The campaign then moves to Delta from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Delta Country Market to benefit the Delta Food Bank.

Colton thanked partner food blitz locations for the donations of their location, time and support.

“The other thing they do is they put together pre-packaged bags,” he said. “Since the pre-packaged bags have started, I think that’s made it very, very easy and convenient for our Build a Mountain of Food participants to go into a store and know that

The countdown is on! In less than a month, the Build a Mountain of Food campaign will kick off its 11th year raising funds and food for area food banks.

Food bank representatives, sponsors and media partners gathered at Slackoni’s Parkside Bistro in Perth’s Best Western Plus Oct. 4 to launch the initiative.

“It doesn’t seem that far away,” remarked Build a Mountain of Food co-ordinator Hugh Colton. “...We’re here to do what we do, as a team together, and as a unit, to proceed with the 2017 Build a Mountain of Food campaign throughout 11 community food banks.”

Those food banks benefit the communities of Almonte, Carleton Place, Perth, Lanark, Smiths Falls, Portland, Westport, Elgin, Merrickville, Athens and Delta.

One of the biggest changes to the campaign is a new title sponsor, Hinton Auto Group. “...Over the past 10 years we were associated with Town & Country Chrysler and we would like to say thank you to Brad (owner Brad Kyle) and Town & Country for the support we got over those 10 years,” Colton commented. “And I would also like you to meet the new company that I’m with right at the moment, known as Hinton Auto Group. This is a very family-related business and they do strongly believe in giving back to their communities.”

Hinton Auto Group owner John Hinton, his son Jeff Hinton, A&B Ford general manager Jeff Hinton, son-in-law Jason Jamieson, Smiths Falls Ford’s sales manager and Dane Fellows, general manager of Smiths Falls Ford were on hand to lend their support during the launch. The Hinton Auto Group includes Hinton Dodge Chrysler and A&B Ford in Perth, as well as Smiths Falls Ford and Smiths Falls Nissan.

“This is a family that has provided tremendous support,” Colton stressed. “From me, to you guys, thank you very much. They are going to be a big part of Build a Mountain of Food for 2017.”

Over the past 10 years, 720,217 lbs of food has been collected through the Build a Mountain of Food campaign, in addition to $372,026.65 in cash.

Last year, 141,552 pounds of food were donated and $70,207.78 in cash was realized.

“I want to add something that’s interesting,” noted longtime campaign volunteer Ed Chenard. “We did some calculations last year and our campaign on a per capita basis, raises more food and money than any of the campaigns conducted in the Ottawa area.

All food and cash raised in each respective community stays at that food

“If we show up in Westport on Saturday morning on the 2nd of December and we collect 5,000 pounds of food and $5,000 in cash, Westport knows that 5,000 pounds goes right to their local food bank and the $5,000 stays within that community,” Colton stated. “I think that’s really important to the people who are giving because I think people want to know that their dollars and their food stay within the communities where they do give.”

Food blitz dates unveiled The full schedule for community blitzes has been released, with Build a Mountain of Food kicking off in Almonte and Carleton Place Saturday, Nov. 4 to support The Hunger Stop (Lanark County Food Bank). From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., volunteers will be stationed at Patrice’s Your Independent Grocer in Almonte, as well as Giant Tiger, Mitchell’s Your Independent Grocer and FreshCo in Carleton Place.

The six-week campaign takes a break in its second week, to mark Remembrance Day on Nov. 11.

“Nov. 11 is on a Saturday this year, Remembrance Day, and out of respect to our military we will not roll

with Build a Mountain that day,” Colton explained. “We want to make sure we respect the people that keep us safe 24/7, 365 days a year.”

Build a Mountain of Food picks back up on Saturday, Nov. 18 in Perth at Brownlee’s Metro, Barnabe’s Your Independent Grocer, Foodsmiths and Giant Tiger from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. to benefit the Perth Good Food Bank.

Also on Nov. 18, volunteers will be at the Lanark Highlands Food Pantry and Thrift Store from 9 a.m. to noon to benefit the Lanark Food Bank.

On Saturday, Nov. 25, Build a Mountain of Food is in Smiths Falls from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Andress’ Your Independent Grocer, Food Basics, The Garden Market and Giant Tiger in support of the Smiths Falls Community Food Bank.

Then on Saturday, Dec. 2 it’s off to Westport from 9 a.m. to noon, where the community can support the Westport Food Bank at Kudrinko’s.

On the same day, from 1 to 4 p.m., the campaign hits Elgin’s Gordanier Freshmart to benefit the Elgin Food Bank.

Saturday, Dec. 9 will see Build a Mountain of Food in Portland from 9 a.m. to noon at the Portland LCBO and RBC. Donations made there will

Regional tourism businesses to share ideas at OH! Tourism Summit On Oct. 23, tourism operators from across Ontario’s Highlands are invited to step away from the counters of local bakeries and cafés; the busy check-in desks at resorts and inns; and the displays at museums and shops to do the one thing they’ve been meaning to “get to” during the busy summer tourism season — connect with each other.

OH! Tourism Summit, the largest rural tourism conference in the region, is just around the corner. It will provide the vibrant tourism community in Ontario’s Highlands with a rare opportunity to come together under one roof to share ideas, find new inspiration, learn from one another and celebrate successes.

Hosted at The Village Playhouse in Bancroft, this year’s conference says goodbye to board tables and breakout rooms, shaking up the typical conference vibe and making it easier than ever for attendees to ignite new relationships in a relaxed theatre setting.

“Nobody understands the rural tourism landscape in Ontario’s Highlands better than the operators and organizations in our region who live out their passions and overcome challenges every day,” says Stephanie Hessel, tourism development co-ordinator for the Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization (OHTO). “For our committed operators, step-

Above, a previous year’s summit. ping away from their business for a day may be difficult — their dedication is what makes our region one of the most welcoming to visit in Ontario — but there is immense value in building a network and starting a dialogue. We are stronger together.”

The OHTO expects about 100 tourism operators from between Haliburton Highlands and the Ottawa Valley at OH! Tourism Summit. A highlight of the program is an afternoon session, Turning Ideas Into Action: Industry Peer Success Stories, which will see local tourism operators at all stages of business share firsthand how they found inspira-

tion for great ideas and turned them into reality. The panel will also demonstrate how focusing on creating a quality tourism product in Ontario’s Highlands has allowed them to share their stories with visitors in the digital space, as well as the steps they have taken to work together with their industry peers to succeed in a uniquely large and rural tourism environment.

“Our geographic area is so large that coming together as a group, even once a year, allows us to rekindle old friendships and alliances, meet new business owners and talk about the concerns that we share collectively — and to strategically plan as a group on how to best

tackle these issues,” says Liz Murphy, co-owner of Calabogie Peaks Resort in the Ottawa Valley. “It is heartening to feel you are not isolated and that others are experiencing the same thing.” Murphy will be speaking on the industry panel, discussing how a shift to digital marketing has allowed Calabogie Peaks Resort to better leverage their story, as well as other strategies the business is using to stand out to visitors and impact the larger community.

Other speakers include Andre Rieux of Cartwright Springs Brewery in Pakenham, who started his business after discovering an artesian spring on his property and now focuses on providing a complete visitor experience; Cathy Reside of The Good Food Tour in Almonte, a newcomer who has taken the tourism industry by storm since launching

in spring 2017; Tegan Legge of the Haliburton Forest and Wild Life Reserve, whose passion for promoting the region is contagious; and Luisa Sorrentino, marketing co-ordinator for Hastings County, who works with local storytellers to capture the many incredible tourism experiences in the region.

The conference will also include networking activities and entrance to the Hastings County Tourism Awards, taking place in the evening to celebrate local tourism champions.

The day will also feature a keynote address by Chris Williams, vice-president of digital assets with the Association of Canadian Advertisers (ACA), about ways for small businesses to make an impact on digital platforms using shoestring budgets. This year’s conference theme is Tourism in a Digital Age.

Tickets for OH! Tourism Summit can be purchased online for a flat rate of $35. The annual general meeting portion of the day, taking place from 11:15 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. on Oct. 23, is free to attend.

Full conference details, including registration and program information, can be found at www.ohtourismsummit.ca.

Preparations for Merrickville’s annual Jazz Fest have been underway as the whole town collaborates to host the four-day event which begins Thursday, Oct. 12 and runs until Sunday, Oct. 15.

The community-sponsored and volunteer-run festival offers a variety of jazz music delivered by emerging and experienced jazz musicians. The live music performances will be hosted in various venues all over Merrickville, ranging from century-old stone churches to a local ballroom, and pubs where you can enjoy a bite to eat while you take in all that jazz.

Some of the venues include the Baldachin Inn Restaurant, Goose & Gridiron Restaurant & Pub, Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Merrickville Legion, Merrickville United Church, and St. Ann Catholic Church.

Between shows, you may stroll amid stores and boutiques whose proprietors provide the much-appreciated sponsorship and other forms of support to the festival.

the bag is packed with exactly what that specific food bank needs. It makes it very easy for them to pick up a pre-packaged bag and put it in the van.”

This year, Build a Mountain of Food honours area men Doug Good and Mike Carty, who lost their lives in March after their vehicle fell through the ice on Big Rideau Lake. Colton said both Good and Carty were pillars of their community.

“Doug Good was a councillor in Rideau Lakes Township and he was also a huge supporter of Build a Mountain of Food,” he explained.

“Mike Carty supported Build a Mountain of Food, but Mike Carty to his community, was unbelievable, second to none.”

Colton told a story of how Carty would wake up early in the morning after a snowfall and ensure all vehicles in the seniors’ complex in Portland were cleared. “That was one of the many things that Mike Carty did,” he continued. “So, in honour of these two gentlemen...this year is dedicated to them. I think it’s only appropriate that we move forward with them looking down on us.”

Community campaigns already

underway While the food blitzes don’t begin until Nov. 4, Colton said community groups are already coming forward with donations from their own food drives, including the Lombard Glen Golf & Country Club Ladies League, who have given the campaign an early infusion.

Their recent drive collected 11,070 pounds of food and $7,454 in cash donations.

“This is a huge jump start that we got early on from these ladies,” Colton said, adding that over the past eight years, the ladies golf league has raised $52,000 and collected 14,000 pounds of food.

Carolina Retirement Suites in Perth also did their own campaign and will be holding future drives to support Build a Mountain of Food.

Colton encouraged other groups, whether it be local schools or churches, to join in.

“When other groups get campaigns going, we’d be more than happy to do an interview and say thank you,” he said.

“Those campaigns are very, very important to the ongoing total of Build a Mountain of Food.”

Local Christmas parades also drum up more cash and food donations for the cam-

paign each year. Colton noted a Build a Mountain of Food float was created last year and he hopes to do another this year in the three parades the campaign has already confirmed in Carleton Place, Perth and Smiths Falls.

Colton is excited to hit the ground running with the campaign and seeing the generosity and spirit of community at work.

“I’m humbled by the amount of generosity that happens with this campaign. It’s amazing,” he remarked. “The generosity continues each and every year.

We never set a goal, but just get out there and do our best and we’ve had some positive results.”

“If we collect 10 pounds of food in a community, that’s 10 more pounds than they had the day before and more cash donations they didn’t have the day before,” Colton added.

To keep up to date on the Build a Mountain of Food campaign, visit www.buildamountainoffood.com.

“Thirty days from now, we’re on the road. So between now and those 30 days, it’s time to start spreading the word in your communities about Build a Mountain of Food,” Colton concluded.

Upper Canada District School Board observes 2017 Orange Shirt Day Staff and students across the Upper Canada District School Board observed Orange Shirt Day on Friday, raising awareness about the harm caused to Indigenous peoples by the residential school system.

Staff and students honoured victims and survivors of the system by wearing orange shirts. Board schools also featured presentations

by Indigenous speakers, and organized class presentations and drum-

ming workshops with an Algonquin elder.

Superintendent Jodie Barrett said the day was a way the board could honour the spirit of the calls to action by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada.

“I’m so proud of our staff and students for wearing orange,” said Barrett. “It’s another way we can help redress the tragic legacy of Canada’s residential school system

and move toward reconciliation and healing.

“The day helps our staff and students gain a deeper understanding of the impact of the system on our Indigenous partners, and will make certain future generations are aware of it, so we can learn from the

mistakes of the past.”

Several schools held special events to mark the day including: • Pakenham Public School — Algonquin Elder Danka Brewer addressed classes during several workshops about the residential school system.

In age-appropriate discussions, Brewer talked about the system, how it impacted Indigenous families and the abuse that occurred.

Brewer also gave students a greater understanding of Indigenous culture by hosting Algonquin drumming workshops, and explaining the meaning of different Indigenous symbols. At the end of the day, all students gathered in the schoolyard for a group photo wearing

their orange shirts.

• Athens District High School: About 40 students and staff participated by wearing orange shirts.

During the days leading up to the event, the school issued announcements that discussed truth and reconciliation, as well as the importance and symbolism of wearing an orange shirt.

CDSBEO’s special education department launches new teacher portal The following are highlights from the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) meeting held Oct. 3 at the board office in Kemptville.

The CDSBEO special education department has recently launched a new teacher portal which allows all teachers, SERTs, and administrators to quickly gather information about students, and create student profiles. Teachers can develop, access and complete Individual Education Plans (IEPs) using the portal, which helps to simplify the process of gathering evidence and presenting data in an aggregate form.

Rick Soudant, MISA and educational data analysis co-ordinator, and Heather Bovey, co-ordinator of special education, shared information on the teacher portal with the board of trustees.

“The portal offers one stop shopping for teachers,” began Soudant.

“It provides a place where teachers can access student information, review attendance data over time, access report card history, analyze assessments, and create and review student IEPs.” The portal, which was launched in September, is accessible in all schools to administrators, SERTs, teachers, and guidance counsellors. The portal was developed through feedback from teachers, who expressed the desire for an improved experience, with a more streamlined and intuitive interface. Class profiles, student profiles and attendance are some of the information that can be accessed. All CDSBEO SERTs have also been trained on how to access the portal, how to access IEPs, and how to create IEPs. “We really are trying to make things simple for teachers so they can work more efficiently and really understand the students’ needs,” noted Bovey.

“Two years ago when we piloted the site, the teachers requested that the IEPs be integrated into the platform.

“We have also developed a stepby-step guide for teachers, which has been posted on the CDSBEO intranet site along with a promotional video,” concluded Bovey.

Safe Schools update The creation of intervention plans, including Prevent, Teach and Reinforce plans, as well as Violence, Threat, Risk Assessment plans, are key elements for supporting students with social, emotional, and behaviour needs.

The Ministry of Education Safe School Policy requires boards to have safe school procedures and protocols in place to ensure that all Ontario schools are safe, accepting and inclusive.

The CDSBEO has implemented

several specialized programs and supports to assist with prevention and targeted intervention for atrisk students.

Pam Dunk and Shari King, both behaviour crisis consultants with the board, presented an update on the Safe Schools initiative.

The CDSBEO employs several prevention programs for students, including WITS (Walk Away, Ignore, Talk it Out, Seek Help), Roots of Empathy, and the Zones of Regulation program, which teaches calming techniques, selfregulation, and sensory integration. In addition, the board also uses various targeted intervention strategies such as Individual Education Plans (IEPs), and student resiliency action plans, along with restorative justice to resolve any issues that may arise.

“The ABLE programs are an alternative program that students attend for six days or more. The Turning Points program is intended for students that are connected to services due to mental health concerns of varying degrees,” noted King. “The majority of these students are not in the program as a result of actions of a violent nature.

“Our VTRA Protocol (Violence Threat Risk Assessment) is a good resource for assisting with solving these thoughts of violence. Placements in the ABLE program helps students to build capacity and get back to their home schools. We always focus on the strategies we need to teach, and on the mindsets we need to adjust — to teach students the strategies they need to return to school.”

Goal setting and strategies to keep students on track once they move back into their home school is a key component in creating a successful outcome for the student.

“Some of the students in the ABLE program will come back once a week, once they have left ABLE, to help them maintain their mental health supports through the agencies that are involved with the program,” concluded Dunk.

Audit committee summary report to board 2016-2017 The CDSBEO audit committee reports annually to the board of trustees. The committee consists of two board members and two external members that provide a report on the committee’s performance of its duties for the previous year.

Superintendent of business, Bonnie Norton, presented the audit committee summary report to the board of trustees.

The board’s audit committee duties and responsibilities is outlined in Ont. Reg. 361/10. Section 15 of the legislation requires the

audit committee to provide a summary report to the board annually on the committee’s performance of its duties for the previous year.

“Since the regional internal audit function does not report to the Ministry of Education, the regulation also requires the summary report to be submitted to the Ministry of Education,” noted Norton.

“This allows the ministry to monitor the required two audits per year per

board, and also ensures that there are no duplicate ministry audits.”

During the 2016-2017 school year, the CDSBEO had audits for hiring and occasional teachers (in compliance with hiring regulation 274), and a second audit for IT security controls (access management and network security).

“Both audit reports have been reviewed by the audit committee along with any recommendations and management’s

action plan,” noted Norton.

During the 2017-2018 year, the regional internal audit team will conduct audits in the areas of: Health and safety and facility procurement (which is currently underway). A followup re-

view will be conducted on the special education audit completed two years ago. Final reports will be brought to the audit committee in the spring of 2018.

One more time: spread the word

Y

es, this is space is being used once again in an effort to reduce the risk that you or someone close to you will become a victim of fraud or identity theft. These stories bear repeating, especially when significant amounts of money could be at stake.

This sad tale of loss comes from the Georgian Bay area. Grey County OPP reported last week that two senior citizens in that area were taken for a total of about $25,000 in separate cases. One person got a telephone call from an unknown individual claiming that the woman's credit card had been compromised by a VISA employee. She was asked to assist with an internal investigation by sending money gram transfers. Unfortunately, the victim fell for the scam and sent multiple money grams and $13,000 in iTunes gift cards to India.

The same scheme apparently netted another victim who sent money grams and

gift card transfers overseas, according to OPP. It's easy for many of us to say we would never fall for such an obvious scam, but the bottom line is that there are people out there who are convinced that the caller or emailer is legit and opts to send money or provide personal information before someone in the know is able to talk them out of it. Some of these scammers can sound very convincing, which is why it is so important for law enforcement as well as family and friends to share these stories and to emphasize the need to be vigilant. No matter who or what the caller claims to represent, do not go along with requests for personal information or payments that are being made by someone you do not know.

If you're smart enough to detect such a scam, then please share your insight and help enlighten others so they don't end up being the subject of the next fraud-related release from the police.

Mystery relative Ethel unexpectedly cuts her intended lengthy visit short Ethel was just one of the many people who came to visit the farm in Northcote, and no one was ever sure how she was connected to the family. The first time she came, suitcase in hand, Father said he never saw her before in his life.

And certainly Mother, who hadn’t been on the farm that long, didn’t know who she was either. However, she came bag and baggage one day in the early fall, claiming to be related on Father’s side of the family. She wasn’t about to give particulars, just saying, “we’re kin you know...and we go way back.”

Ethel claimed to live in Pembroke. But Father said he was pretty sure he didn’t have any relatives there. However, none of that seemed to matter. Ethel was here, and she planned on staying.

I was delighted. I loved com-

pany. The only problem was my sister Audrey and I had to give up our bed, and sleep on the creton couch in the kitchen. It was too narrow to sleep side by side, so we had to sleep foot to foot, which didn’t please Audrey one bit.

It was soon pretty obvious to everyone Ethel hadn’t spent much time on a farm before coming out to Northcote. It was a warm day for fall, and Mother had the kitchen window wide open, looking out onto the grape arbour. When we sat down for supper, Ethel wondered what that strong smell was. We all looked at Father. He took his merry time to reply, chewing what he had in his mouth first. “That’s plain manure. We spread it out on the fields. What did you say your name was again?”

“It’s Ethel, as you well know, Albert. And does that smell go away?” Father said, “Yes, when the snow comes.” Ethel just picked at her food, and more than once took her hanky out of her sleeve and covered her nose, pretending to wipe.

And then there was the question of the Gerry pot under her bed. She had two choices, use it when the need arose during the night, or pick her way downstairs, out through the summer kitchen

and over to the outhouse. She told Mother she couldn’t imagine anyone not having a bathroom with a flush-toilet. Of course, she also commented on the old copy of Eaton’s catalogue that hung from a nail inside the outhouse.

Mother told Ethel it took some getting used to when she moved from New York too, which didn’t help the situation one bit!

Ethel was used to laying in bed in the morning, she told us when she climbed the stairs. Well, she was sure in for a surprise when Father could be heard in the kitchen starting the fire in the Findlay Oval the next morning. Mother said later, he did it on purpose.

But he banged the stove lids, hit the poker against the wood box, and made so much noise you would have had to be stone deaf

to sleep through the racket. Ethel had no choice but to get out of bed with the rest of us.

It wasn’t a good start to the day.

Ethel smoked cigarettes, which I thought gave her a touch of elegance. And after breakfast was cleared away, she headed outside, “To take a look around,” she said.

Well, you could hear the screams in Admaston. Mother rushed to the door, to see Ethel tearing across the yard heading for the back door, and the old gobbler hot after her. He was a mean one alright, and so he was seldom let out of the pen. He would chase anyone who came within a country mile of him, and he could run like the wind.

Well, Ethel decided she had better get back to Pembroke, and

if Father would just drive her to the station, she’d be on her way.

To me, he seemed only too delighted to oblige.

When Father got back, Mother wondered how the old gobbler got out of the pen. Father blew smoke out of his pipe, pushed his straw hat to the back of his head, and said, “I knew that old bird would be useful some day. Even the turkey hens will have nothing to do with him. And he must have figured out how to open the pen gate all on his own.” And he threw back his head and laughed.

As part of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) believes greater awareness can help prevent consumers from becoming victims of fraud through identity theft.

Typical identity theft cases include situations where government documents — such as drivers' licences, health cards, social insurance number (SIN) cards and birth certificates — have been unlawfully obtained or forged. Criminals can use your stolen identity documents to access your computer and email accounts; access your bank accounts, open new bank accounts, or transfer bank balances; apply for loans, credit cards and other goods and services; make purchases; hide their criminal activities; and illegally obtain passports or receive government benefits.

According to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC), in 2016 there were 9,481 complaints of iden-

tity theft in Canada. Of those complaints, victims were identified and their combined financial losses exceeded $12-million.

The consequences of having your identity compromised can have lasting effects on your life including potential employment, individual finances and credit ratings, and your dealings with government and other agencies.

To better protect your identity, be wary of unsolicited emails, phone calls or mail asking for personal or financial information; be aware of creditors or collection agency calls about an application or account you do not have; and shred all personal and financial documents.

If you or someone you know has been a victim of identity theft or identity fraud, contact your local police service or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Find out the health of local lands, wildlife at Oct. 28 Land Knowledge Circles event What is the state of our fish and wildlife? Is our land productive? Are our natural resources sustainable? Find out more on Oct. 28 in Verona, north of Kingston.

These are the essential questions that need to be asked in our communities. Only those who live on the land and with the land can provide answers. Increasingly, governments are less able to engage with landowners in meaningful ways, and resources are being managed at regional and provincial scales, often without sufficient local knowledge.

The Land Knowledge Circles project has been launched by the Land Between, cottage country’s own conservation organization.

This project calls on our farmers, hunters, anglers, foresters, beekeepers, gardeners, naturalists and hikers to participate in local citizens’ events. Indigenous talking circles, an ancient and effective platform for building community and consensus, are being used to share first-hand knowledge of conditions on the land.

Proceedings from the circle meetings will be published to validate the voice of citizens and to provide a basis for resource management by groups, organizations and potentially governments too.

This is a great opportunity to break down barriers and stimulate us to take better care of our future.”

The Land Between charity, in partnership with Curve Lake First Nation and Hastings Stewardship Council, invites stakeholders to the knowledge circles

being held in four areas. (Visit knowledgecircles.ca) The project is a pilot funded by the Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration’s Partnership Grant Program.

The Knowledge Circle event for Lennox & Addington, Frontenac and Lanark Region will be held on Saturday, Oct.

28 at the Verona Lions Club, 4504 Verona Sand Rd., north of Kingston from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The event is free and lunch is provided. To register or find out more, contact Leora Berman at 705-457-4838, info@thelandbetween.ca or register online at knowledgecircles.ca.

MANAGING YOUR MONEY Stay balanced in a soaring stock market

Since the start of the year, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has broken through 20,000, the S&P 500 has soared higher than ever and the S&P/TSX Composite Index has also reached an all-time high. That has many investors wondering where things might go from here and how to invest in a soaring market.

Many people point to Donald Trump’s seemingly pro-growth policies as the reason the market has continued to climb this year. But the rally has been going on for far longer, says Steve Rogers, Investment Strategist with Investors Group Investment Management. “The recovery from the 2008 global financial crisis has been steady,” he says. “Certainly, there have been ups and downs but when certain sectors were down others picked up the slack.”

Just look at how the S&P 500 has shifted since 2008. In 2008, the S&P 500’s energy sector made up 13.3% of the index. As of last December it accounted for 7.6%. Over that same period, the technology sector grew from 15% to 20%, and the consumer discretionary sector went from 8.4% to 12%. “With shifts like these, your portfolio definitely warrants a review,” says Rogers.

Reimagining an iconic model like the Honda Civic is never an easy feat, but the automaker has received plenty of praise for its latest generation, unveiled just last year. Three versions of the Civic are now available: a sedan, a coupe and an all-new hatchback. To demonstrate its market dominance, Honda has further expanded its lineup of compact vehicles by reviving its sportier Civic Si and introducing the spectacular 2018 Type R.

As for the Civic Type R, the latest version has opened its hood to a new turbocharged 2.0-L 4-cylinder engine generating 306 horsepower and 295 lb.-ft. of torque. Needless to say, it’s revving up to be quite the performer!

ODYSSEY MINIVAN In anticipation of the unveiling of the 2018 Accord, Honda has given its Odyssey minivan an adrenaline boost, adding a bolder grille and more modern headlights to the family-friendly model. The dashboard now features a larger multimedia display system compatible with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the 3.5-L V6 engine has been tweaked to deliver 280 horsepower. A standard 9-speed automatic transmission drives the Odyssey line, while the Touring premieres an all-new 10-speed gearbox.

The frame and suspension have been made firmer without compromising on comfort, and Honda Civic Si sedan the direction has been fine-tuned for greater The new Civic Si comes equipped with a precision. turbocharged 1.5-L 4-cylinder, delivering the 2018 Honda same horsepower but with greater torque. The Odyssey only transmission available is a manual 6-speed.

The turbocharged 1.5-L engine consumes less fuel than the 2.4-L, and its lighter build allows for improved handling and comfort. Buyers also have the option of enhancing their driving experience thanks to a sport mode button that electronically adjusts the steering wheel response rate for a dynamic feel.

Plan your fall foliage excursion Autumn means different things to many people. Students may embrace the dawn of a new school year, while others might embrace the crisp weather after a season of heat. One of the more widely enjoyed aspects of autumn is the chance to take in the brilliant foliage. Dazzling displays of foliage can be witnessed anywhere temperatures descend enough for deciduous trees to shed their leaves.

DON’T OVERLOOK OVERCAST DAYS Traveling in the rain may not be fun, but overcast days might be ideal. On such days, the sun won’t be too warm and drown out the colours.

BRING ALONG BINOCULARS Wildlife is often mobile and abundant in the fall, as animals scurry to feed and gather supplies before the winter. As a result, fall is a great time to spot wildlife that’s normally hiding in thickets and woodland areas.

PLAN FOR STOPS ALONG THE WAY Don’t forget to bring some spending money in the form of cash so that you can enjoy the small farm stands and shops that often dot rural landscapes. Pick up farm-fresh produce or choose a plump pumpkin. Yard sales also are abundant this time of year.

Trees begin shedding their leaves as early as the beginning of September in Canada. As the days press on, the fall finery will gradually shift southward. For those who can afford to take a weekday off, do so, as weekends might be overcome with fellow enthusiasts.

GMC distinguishes itself from Chevrolet For decades, GMC’s vehicles have featured a more lavish design than their Chevrolet counterparts — just look at the abundance of chrome accents that ornament the GMC Denali and the pristine finish of its interior, where woodwork, topstitching, soft grain leather and other fine details come together to create a decidedly luxurious SUV. Nevertheless, GMC and Chevrolet models have always shared the same frame and most of the same mechanical features… until now.

GMC Acadia

The GMC Acadia has distanced itself from the Chevrolet Traverse lately thanks to a more compact frame and improved handling. Smaller and lighter than the Traverse, the new Acadia is a full 318 kilograms lighter than its predecessor. This decrease in weight allowed manufacturers to incorporate a new 193-horsepower 2.5-L 4-cylinder engine under the hood. For even more power, the 3.6-L V6 version has been enhanced to deliver 310 horsepower and 271 lb.-ft. of torque. Depending on the interior configuration, the Acadia can seat five, six or seven people.

As for compact SUVs, the 2018 Terrain has been redesigned to fit GMC’s new look. This second generation is set to take over for the first, which sold 700,000 units in North America since 2009. The new Terrain debuts three new turbocharged engines: a 1.5-L 4-cylinder; a 2.0-L 4-cylinder; and a 1.6-L turbodiesel 4-cylinder, all of which are mated to a new 9-speed automatic transmission.

In the commercial segment, the Sierra 2500HD and 3500HD have opened their hoods to a more powerful 6.6-L turbodiesel Duramax V8 generating 445 horsepower and 910 lb.-ft. of torque. This powerhouse can run on B20 biodiesel (20 per cent biodiesel combined with 80 per cent regular diesel). Furthermore, the Allison 1000 automatic transmission has been reinforced to accommodate the engine’s greater torque capacity.

Chevrolet invests in electricity and horsepower Chevrolet plans to offer several new models for 2018, including fully redesigned versions of the Equinox and Traverse. In addition, the automaker has announced a variety of limited edition models, namely the Corvette Carbon 65, Camaro ZL1 1LE, Tahoe RST and Suburban RST. These newcomers complete the lineup overhaul that Chevrolet kicked off earlier this year with the unveiling of the redesigned Sonic and Trax and launch of the all-new Bolt EV and hatchback Cruze.

In the pickup segment, the Silverado 2500HD and 3500HD have both debuted a more powerful 6.6-L V8 Duramax turbodiesel engine that outputs 445 horsepower and 910 lb.-ft. of torque.

As for the midsize Colorado ZR2 option, it comes equipped with a number of features designed for extreme off-road driving.

With its electric motor and 60-kWh lithium-ion battery pack boasting a 383-kilometre range, the Bolt EV has quickly become a star player at Chevy. In sports-car news, the new 650-horsepower Camaro ZL1

1LE was designed for the racetrack, featuring a genuine carbon-fibre wing, an F1-inspired suspension and Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3R tires.

The 2018 Equinox has been offloaded by 180 kilograms to offer consumers a more dynamic driving experience. Three powertrain options are available: a 1.5-L turbocharged 4-cylinder; a 2.0-L turbocharged 4-cylinder; and an all-new 1.6-L turbocharged diesel 4-cylinder. The diesel engine (also available with the Cruze) is mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission for optimal performance.

As for the new Traverse, it sets itself apart from the likes of the GMC Acadia with a more spacious eight-seat interior and a hefty 2,268-kilogram towing capacity. Two engines are available: a 2.0-L turbocharged 4-cylinder and a 3.6-L V6. For their part, the Tahoe RST and Suburban RST are powered by a 6.2-L V8 and an all-new 10-speed automatic transmission.

Choosing a vehicle based on wheel drive

Proud to be your S U P E R S E R V I C E Chevrolet Buick & GMC Dealer

RESERVE YOUR WINTER TIRES NOW!

Several factors are considered before drivers purchase new vehicles. Wheel drive may not be the first such factor to come to mind, but it can be an important consideration when car shopping.

Despite the considerable rise in popularity of sport utility vehicles, automotive expert Edmunds says most passenger cars sold in the United States today use a two-wheel-drive system. With options such as 4WD, AWD, FWD and RWD, consumers should understand the differences of each type of drive in order to make the most informed decision.

REAR-WHEEL DRIVE With rear-wheel drive, the power goes to the back wheels to drive the vehicle. This used to be the system of choice because RWD systems were relatively easy to manufacture, offers Kelly Blue Book. RWD is the choice for many trucks because added load can offer additional traction in the back. Furthermore, rear-wheel drive is coveted for sporty vehicles and luxury cars. That’s because, as vehicles accelerate the weight is transfered to the rear wheel, enhancing traction and further acceleration.

This drive also distributes weight more evenly, so cornering and handling is better.

FRONT-WHEEL DRIVE The National Motorists Association states that front-wheel drive, which has become ubiquitous in cars produced today, is cheaper to design and build than RWD. Fewer parts mean the drivetrain is easier to install. It is also

We store your off-season tires

less heavy than others, helping vehicles to be lighter and consume less fuel. In rain and snow, FWD has excellent traction, so it’s an asset under poor weather conditions. Front-wheel drive vehicles are not prized for their handling because the front wheels have to put power to the ground and steer the car. Furthermore, unlike RWD, which is more rugged and durable, FWD is more fragile.

4-WHEEL-DRIVE & ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE 4WD is designed for rugged, off-road applications and AWD is for pavement driving.

Pure 4WD is good for low-traction situations off of pavement, where additional grip is needed.

In some 4WD vehicles, this drive needs to be engaged through a transfer switch. In such automobiles, the vehicle operates in FWD or RWD until that switch is engaged.

All-wheel-drive provides the best of FWD, RWD and pure 4WD systems. The main advantage is excellent traction on both dry pavement and in poor weather. Some AWD vehicles may be able to go off-roading as well. Potential disadvantages to AWD include cost, vehicle weight and, because there are more components in AWD, more parts can fail and require servicing. AWD typically comes in partand full-time versions.

Safety measures for winter drivers Winter weather causes many people to retreat indoors until the spring thaw. However, for those who embrace the cooler temperatures or find that life must go on despite snow and ice, taking inventory of their vehicles is a must before the first snowflakes start to fall.

Tire care is an especially important area of vehicle maintenance. Regular tires may be ineffective for winter driving. Summer tires are made from materials that are optimized for warm conditions.

When the mercury drops, these same materials can harden, reducing their ability to grip the road.

That lack of traction can be compounded by the presence of snow or ice. Even all-season tires, which are designed to be driven year-round, can be insufficient in severe weather conditions.

Winter tires can help drivers safely navigate SHIFT INTO LOW GEAR On hills, rely on low gears to maximize traction to winter roadways. travel up and down hills. This can minimize skids It’s important to look for tires that can disperse or sliding. water sufficiently and also grip the road. Snow tires are designed to remain softer and more GET THE VEHICLE A TUNEUP flexible to conform to the road better in cold In addition to tires, be sure the braking system, conditions. Some winter tires are even studded to battery and other major components of the vehicle are in good working order. provide better traction.

Unfortunately, even the best winter tires cannot provide perfect traction on slippery roadways.

That is why it is essential — in conjunction with the use of winter tires or snow chains — to modify driving techniques to navigate safely.

REPLACE WINDSHIELD WIPERS Reduced visibility can compromise the safety of drivers and their passengers. Replace windshield wiper blades before winter arrives. Consider purchasing winter-rated windshield blades.

DRIVE SLOWLY Slow down on winter roads. Allow a greater distance for stopping than for dry conditions.

Slippery conditions can make it more challenging to stop, and excessive speeds can make the situation worse.

KNOW HOW TO RECOVER FROM A SKID When skids occur on black ice or slush, drivers should take their feet off of the pedals and steer gently in the direction they want to go. As the vehicle regains traction, only then should the brakes or accelerator be applied.

How to improve the value of your trade-in

Why clean air filters are important Vehicle owners likely know to check fluid levels and get their cars’ oil changed, but air filters may not be at the top of their maintenance checklists. Despite being a relatively inexpensive part, air filters often go overlooked.

PURPOSE OF VEHICLE AIR FILTERS Vehicle combustion engines operate with a mixture of fuel and air. Without oxygen, gasoline or diesel fuels cannot burn properly and power the engine.

The air filter’s job is to prevent dirt, dust and other debris from being sucked into an engine. Otherwise, grime can build up and impede engine performance or cause erosion of parts under the hood.

When the time comes to purchase a new vehicle, many drivers explore trading in their existing cars or trucks.

Trade-ins can reduce the cost of buying new vehicles and save drivers the hassle of selling their vehicles on their own.

ADDRESS ANY ISSUES Dealerships will offer to tend to any repairs trade-ins may need, but that will come at a cost, which will be reflected in the trade-in value of the car. Vehicle owners should address any issues before taking their vehicles to the dealership. Fix any doors that stick or minor scratches on the vehicle’s exterior, remembering to have the car detailed, washed and waxed. Investigate if any major problems, such as engine troubles, are worth fixing on your own, or if you’re better off receiving less for your trade-in and letting the dealership address such issues.

KEEP MAINTENANCE RECORDS Maintenance records illustrating that the vehicle was taken care of can help owners get more for their tradeins. Drivers who intend to trade the vehicle in to the same dealership where the vehicle was purchased should still keep their own maintenance records to eliminate potential problems as they negotiate the trade-in value of their vehicles.

SHOP AROUND Drivers who are not satisfied with the trade-in value assigned by a specific dealership can shop around until they find better offers. Some dealerships may not offer much for a vehicle because they already have a similar car or truck sitting on their lot, while others may jump at the chance to make their preowned inventory more diverse.

Exercise patience when shopping around to reduce any frustration that might develop during the negotiation process.

Various factors impact the trade-in value of cars and trucks. When purchasing new cars, vehicle owners can employ various strategies to get the most money for their current automobiles.

Fall Spring Sprin

Motorists who think trading in is the best way to unload their current cars can take various steps to improve the trade-in value prior to visiting the dealership.

KNOW THE TRADE-IN MARKET Some trade-ins may be more valuable than others, even if the cars are relatively similar with regard to mileage. For example, preowned vehicle buyers typically prefer late model vehicles as opposed to cars that are older. This is even more apparent now that many car buyers want smartphone-friendly vehicles that afford them access to the apps and GPS systems on their phones. Drivers who want to get maximum value for their trade-ins may benefit by trading in a year or so earlier than they initially planned, as this will make their cars or trucks more attractive to prospective buyers, which should make it easier for dealerships to sell the vehicle.

It is much more cost-effective to routinely change air filters than replace expensive engine parts. Rather than ignoring air filters until the last minute, drivers can take steps to keep filters clean and functioning at peak performance.

Help senior drivers maintain their independence As men and women age, various factors Regular exercise and a healthy drivers. Mental fitness techniques reaction time, while aerobic and keep the body in shape. may affect their ability to drive. In diet can be assets for mature and brain exercises can improve strength-training workouts can addition to issues with memory, seniors may have failing eyesight and physical limitations, and their reaction time may slow down. In such instances, seniors’ ability to safely operate a motor vehicle may be questioned.

Age alone is not a reliable measure of driving ability, but many of the issues that affect one’s ability to safely drive a ve h i c l e tend to appear as men and women near their golden years.

Losing the ability to safely operate an automobile can greatly reduce a person’s independence. That is why periodic driver evaluations may be met with some reluctance. Aging men and women who don’t want to avoid potential conflicts with concerned family members can take their own steps to ensure they maintain their ability to safely operate a motor vehicle.

SCHEDULE A DRIVING SAFETY EVALUATION When drivers’ abilities to operate a motor vehicle become suspect, a thorough evaluation should be scheduled. The evaluation should not be handled by a family physician or family member, but by an unbiased third party like a Certified Driving Rehabilitation Specialist. This is a therapist who has special certification to assist people with disabilities, including older adults, with driving.

They can help individuals with adaptive equipment or techniques if driving issues stem from something that can be addressed.

FIGURE OUT IF THE CAR “FITS” THE INDIVIDUAL A program called CarFit can help drivers assess if their car is suited to their abilities. A team of trained technicians and/or health professionals work with participants to ensure their vehicles are equipped for maximum safety and comfort. A properly adjusted vehicle is as important as one’s cognitive and physical abilities. Adjustments can include mirror placement, good foot positioning and sitting at the proper distance from the steering wheel.

TAKE A DRIVER IMPROVEMENT COURSE Driver improvement courses are provided by various organizations, including some insurance companies.

AARP also has a Driver Safety Course to lower the risk of traffic violations, collisions and injuries. Completion of these courses can help drivers enhance their abilities behind the wheel and may result in lower premiums for mature drivers.

Who Dunit? opens Friday the 13th at Station Theatre in Smiths Falls If you’re looking for a scare Friday the 13th, head to The Station Theatre in Smiths Falls for the opening night of Who Dunit?

Katharine Coleman, veteran director of half a dozen plays, is excited about this comedy-mystery. What better night to open than Friday the 13th, she asks.

Her cast – some veterans, some newbies – has worked hard to give personalities to the characters, including three angels, an arrogant author, his cook, butler, secretary, nephew and fiancée, plus George and Flo. “It’s going to be a light-hearted evening,” Coleman assures. “Lots of fun.

We all need some sun in our lives.”

Alexander Arlington, famous mystery-murder writer, finds there’s no ove lost between him and his family in Who Dunit? which opens Friday, Oct. 13 at the Station Theatre in Smiths Falls.

dered and reaches Heaven to stand in front of Archangel Michael (Stef Robar), he wants to know who killed him.

He’s sure everyone on earth, in his mortal life, loved him…so who did the dastardly deed? The angel Michael doesn’t have the answer leaving only one way to find out – go back to earth and relive the past 24 hours of his life in order to solve the murder before it’s committed.

Being murdered once is startling enough; letting it happen a second time is unthinkable. This time, however, the writer must outwit both the murderer and the high ranking angel…or else it’s back to Heaven for him.

Exploring the power of song in our own backyard One needs only to hear the strength and compassion expressed in her beautiful rendition of her self-penned song, Nowhere to Go But Up, to feel the "power of song" and know there is a real story behind country chanteuse Arlene Quinn's conviction.

Born and raised in Lanark County, this sweet singer/songwriter has, since an early age, offered up such quality musicianship as to open for many Grand Ole Opry stars, written and recorded in Nashville, won copious awards since her youth and amassed a huge following.

OP

After a three-year hiatus, defining and developing strategies to overcome fibromyalgia, she's back in the game, writing tender, top singles being played in more than 12 countries around the world. She writes with heartfelt passion, often via personal experiences culled from her many opportunities to witness the "power of song" to the multitude of seniors she regularly entertains throughout the region, as well as fundraisers and, to capacity- filled concerts, usually reminiscing with her renditions of the country classics.

This is a makeup concert, as Arlene broke her wrist just prior to her planned March 26 concert in the winter so we're delighted she's healed and ready to go. Anyone who had previ-

ously purchased tickets for the March show, please call Sue on 613-267-7902.

It’s then a rare opportunity to hear Arlene's own inspiring catalogue of self-penned tunes, along with her welcoming smile, making it an honour to have her perform in our Listening Room Series lineup on Sunday, Oct. 22 at 7 p.m. at the Perth Tea Room (Perth Restaurant). Part of the proceeds will go to Perth Community Care Centre — Resident's Council Fund. Tickets are $20 and available either by calling 613-267-7902 to arrange necessary, in advance payment

From page 23

Muriel, the mouthy angel, played

by Heddy Sorour, and Isabelle, a much more cautious angel, played by Lise Nelson natter at Michael unceasingly to do his job; Annie, maid and cook (Ann MacLaughlan), Harry, butler and gardner (Tim Bisaillon) and Miss Jenkins, secretary (Katharine Coleman) all have good reasons to do the writer in. Andrew, the writer’s nephew, played by Noel White, and Vivian, the writer’s fiancee, played by Nicki Hayes have their own reasons to get rid of the writer. And finally George, Vivian’s boyfriend (Nathan Matthews) would

have a much easier life without the writer there. Then there’s Flo, a gangster’s moll (Mandi Reed) who just wants to get her job done.

Who did it? Come and find out. Who Dunit? runs Friday, Oct. 13 and Saturday, Oct. 14 at 7:30 p.m., as well as Sunday, Oct. 15 at 2 p.m. It continues the next week Oct. 19, 20 and 21 in the evenings at 7:30 p.m. and at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 22.

But wait! That’s not all.

Next in the movie night series is Megan Leavey, based on a true-life story of a young Marine Corporal whose unique discipline and bond with her military combat dog saved many lives during their deployment in Iraq. Over the course of

their service, Megan and Rex complete more than 100 missions until an improvised explosive device injures both, putting their fates in jeopardy.

The movie runs Oct. 27 and 28 and starts at 7 p.m.

Tickets for the play are on sale now.

Last month my son Craig and I visited Northern Ireland as part of a memorable “Father-Son” excursion to Ireland and England.

An important stop for us was Belfast, capital of what remains a province of the United Kingdom.

This was Craig’s first visit to Ireland and with family connections in both the north and south, part of the reason we went was to celebrate our heritage by visiting the birthplaces of Craig’s two greatgrandfathers.

My wife Kathleen’s paternal grandfather, Joseph Charles Lee, was a native of Dublin. My maternal grandfather, Archibald Robert Watson, was born in Belfast in 1905.

During our stay in the Northern Ireland capital we made a pilgrimage to Belfast City Cemetery where members of the Watson family are interred. It was my second visit to the gravesite.

As a family we are planning improvements to the burial place which we only discovered in recent years, thanks to genealogical research done by my sister Linda Parisien from Stittsville.

The grave marker refers only to the first of four Watson family members who were buried in the plot. The fast fading metal marker reads, “The Burying Place of Jane Watson 1899.” We plan to add a plaque with all four names.

Jane Orr Watson, the daughter of my great- great-grandmother who was also named Jane Watson, died of “consumption” (Tuberculosis or TB) at age 23 in 1899.

Jane Orr was followed by her sister Clara (Archibald’s mother and my great-grandmother) in 1906 and her brother Frederick in 1909.

Clara was 25 and Frederick was 31.

They too died of TB which killed a billion people worldwide in two centuries.

My great-great-grandmother outlived all her children. She died in 1922 at the ripe old age of 84.

Sadly she did not have the capacity to care for her grandson, although she did her best to follow his progress.

Archibald’s father left Ireland about the time of his birth. No further record of him has been found.

In the final months of her short life Clara was too ill to care for her infant son. Archibald, who we all knew by his nickname “Art”, was taken into care by the British-based Barnardo Agency in the spring of 1906 at age six months.

Barnardo’s, a UK charity founded in 1866 by the well-meaning Thomas John Barnardo, was established to care for vulnerable children and young people many of whom were orphans. Dublinborn philanthropist Barnardo died in September 1905 at age 60, just six days before my grandfather

Reflections

BY JEFF MAGUIRE

was born.

Because he was an infant Art was moved to a Barnardo orphanage called “Babies’ Castle” in England. It was located at Hawkhurst, Kent southeast of Royal Tunbridge Wells. At age seven he was relocated to another agency residence in Stepney, East London. He was then briefly placed with foster parents at Wetherden, Suffolk. In March 1914, at the tender age of eight, he was sent to Canada.

Difficult childhood Through research we now know more about my grandfather’s story.

Not surprisingly he rarely talked about his experiences.

Still, as a family we realize we owe Barnardo’s a debt of gratitude. Without their intervention it is possible my grandfather might not have survived childhood. Belfast in the early 20th Century was an extremely depressed place and disease was rampant.

However the truth remains that the arrangements the organization made for him and so many of its young charges, so-called “Home Children”, were not only unsatisfactory they were terrible. Tens of thousands were dispatched to lives of hardship in Canada and other Commonwealth nations. The majority were placed in circumstances in which they were little more than indentured slaves. Art Watson was one of those people. More on his story later!

On Sept. 30 Kathleen read a newspaper article about the unveiling of a memorial in Toronto the following day. The new monument recognizes 75 Home Children who were buried in two mass graves in Park Lawn Cemetery. The graves were unmarked for years. But due to the fundraising efforts of Lori Oschefski, CEO of the Barrie, Ontario based British Home Children Advocacy and Research Association there is now a proper memorial.

Using archival records, death certificates and cemetery plot cards Oschefski was able to identify all the children involved. Their names are inscribed on the monument.

Oschefski’s mother and aunt were both British Home Children.

She says her mother was among the lucky ones. She was generally well treated.

Many others were forced to live in deplorable conditions.

Some were physically and sexually

abused. Oschefski says her aunt was whipped, beaten, raped and moved 20 times in less than eight years.

At least one of the children buried in the mass graves in Toronto was almost certainly murdered.

The stories of mistreatment related by so many Home Children or their descendants are horrific.

Sadly few Canadians know about the plight of the 115,000 British Home Children who immigrated to this country between the late 1860s and 1948. Some four million Canadians are descendants of British Home Children.

My grandfather’s story is one of personal triumph. But the beginning of his life in Canada was very difficult. We have limited details but there’s no question he was mistreated during his time as a child labourer on a farm in southwestern Ontario. The owner even tried to get out of paying him the pittance he was owed. Fortunately a Barnardo representative intervened and made sure young Art was paid.

He went on to marry Beatrice (nee Hardy) a native of London, England. My grandparents had three children, the eldest of whom was my late mother Molly. Art served with distinction on a Canadian Navy minesweeper during the Second World War. He founded a service station maintenance company in Chatham, Ontario, the hometown of both my mother and my wife. His eldest son Wayne became a family physician and later a well-respected psychiatrist in Toronto.

Sadly Grandpa Watson died of stomach cancer in 1965 at age 59.

My uncle Gregory (we refer to him by his middle name “Jan”) subsequently ran the family business for many years.

As a newspaper writer I’ve met many surviving Home Children and their family members over the years. Their often sad stories are not nearly as well-known as they should be. But now, thanks mainly to the efforts of one dedicated woman, the lives and tragic deaths of 75 previously forgotten Home Children will forever be remembered!

Topic of electric car efficiency once again up for discussion “Hello Brian, I just bought a 2017 Honda Accord. I was wondering if you recommend getting the car Krown rust-proofed? Also last year I rust proofed my 2008 Honda Accord. Should it be done again? Thank you. I enjoy reading your articles.”

L.H. If you plan on keeping your new Honda for anything more than five or six years, yes Krown rustproofing is a good idea. And yes that process should be repeated annually on any vehicle to maintain the protection and the warranty.

“Hi Brian, Great to see you’re getting questions on EVs (electric vehicles)!

I’m not sure the author of the question would be interested, but maybe fellow technicians would. I understand that the air conditioning system in an EV is powered by an elec-

trical compressor off of the high voltage drive battery. I’ve heard this can lead to potentially dangerous situations if incorrect compressor oils are used since there is more voltage required to push its way through an oil that is more conductive.

I have found that the AC in my EV car is really efficient – all of my range records are set with the AC enabled.

Heat, though, that impacts my range. You’re correct about dressing for it to reduce the load on cabin heating. Owners can also ‘pre-condition’ their EVs while they’re still plugged in, to warm everything before heading out and help minimize the range loss.

Finally, the heat and AC are also used to keep the drive batteries happy in many EVs, which a driver has no control over; again the range reduction can be lowered by preconditioning while still plugged.

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

I’m still loving your column.

By the way – I just bought an electric motorcycle (a zero motorcycle brand). It’s loads of fun with no heat or AC to affect my range.

Jeff Goodman Jeff is an electric vehicle enthusiast/crusader and has helped organize the EV displays and information center at the annual North Grenville Sustainability Fair held in Kemptville. I’ve met him several times at this event and he always seems to know how to collect a great bunch of EV owners who love to talk about their rides and experiences with them.

Jeff’s note here was in re-

sponse to a recent reader who wrote in asking about how the use of the HVAC system in an EV would affect its range.

As we enter one of the best seasons for a recreational drive, one quick note to help improve road safety. Few drivers ever think of fallen leaves as a driving risk, but trying to stop suddenly or make a sharp turn while your vehicle’s tires are riding on wet fallen leaves is much akin to doing the same things on

ice or packed snow. The loss of control in these situations often leads to fender benders at the least and can involve much more serious results.

When driving this fall (especially in wet weather), keep an eye out for leaves packed down on the road surface and use the opportunity to practice your best winter defensive driving skills.

If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop

me a line, [By email to bjoeturner@hotmail.com listing ‘Question for the Car Counsellor’ on the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 65 Lorne St., P.O. Box 158, Smiths Falls, Ont.

Downtown Carleton Place

Latest Lego movie has plenty of heartfelt silliness MOVIE: Lego Ninjago STARRING: Jackie Chan, Dave Franco, Fred Armisen, Kumail Nanjiani, Michael Pena, Abbi Jacobson, Zach Woods, Olivia Munn and Justin Theroux DIRECTORS: Charlie Bean, Paul Fisher and Bob Logan RATING: G I love these Lego movies. Any movie I can take my kids to, and enjoy it just as much as they do is great in my book.

The land of Ninjago is a land of mysticism and technological wonders. Yet the city is under constant threat of attack by the evil Lord Garmadon (Justin Theroux). Every day Garmadon and his army strike out at Ninjago from his volcanic island base. And each day the five mysterious ninja in their fierce robotic mechs stop him.

High school students by day and ninjas whenever Garmadon attacks. Kai (Michael Pena) is the Fire Ninja, and his sister Nya (Abbi Jacobson) is the Water Ninja. Cole (Fred Armisen) is the Rock Ninja, Zane (Zach Woods) is the Ice Ninja, and Jay (Kumail Nanjiani) is the Lightning Ninja. They're led by Lloyd (Dave Franco) the Green Ninja, and taught by Master

My Take

MARK HASKINS

Wu (Jackie Chan).

Life as a secret ninja isn't easy, but for Lloyd it's even harder. As the Green Ninja, Lloyd is loved by all, but as son of the evil Garmadon, he's hated. Then one day Garmadon comes at them with a giant mechanized suit of shark-themed destruction. Lloyd, desperate to stop his father, unleashes the ultimate weapon Meowthra, but he can't control it. Garmadon seizes control, and watches as Meowthra destroys the city.

To save Ninjago, Lloyd and the ninja must undertake a perilous journey for the ultimate weapon. They'll be tested like never before, and Lloyd will have to face his relationship with his father.

Ninjago is an action-packed film filled with some amazing Lego martial arts excitement.

It also has a lot of tonguein-cheek humour. One of the things I enjoy is how much they push the humour — from out-

right silliness and making fun of themselves, to classic slapstick and some pretty clever one-liners. It's the kind of film that gets everyone in the theatre laughing.

The real charm of the film though is its ability to pivot. It gracefully goes from the outrageousness of absentee father and evil warlord Garmadon to plucking at the heartstrings as Lloyd and his father reconnect.

Our cast is not the original voice actors of the TV show, but they're pretty good. It's hard to be upset when Jackie Chan is cast to voice the ninja master and teacher Master Wu. Then we have Fred Armisen, Kumail Nanjiani, Michael Pena, Abbi Jacobson, Zach Woods and Olivia Munn. Again, it's hard to be upset with this kind of talent.

The focus of the story is on Lloyd and Garmadon, and Dave Franco and Justin Theroux are great. They go way over the top to be funny but are still able to have that touching father-son moment.

Ninjago is full of silly goodness, but it also has some real heart. That's the beauty of these Lego movies.

'Hamlette,' 'Virtual Reality' headline 'An Evening of One Act Plays' at Studio Theatre It's that time of year again, when plays travel in twos at the Studio Theatre in Perth, for An Evening of One Act Plays. This year's edition brings you two comedies for the price of one — actually less than the price of one, but more about that later ...

The first one-act play of the evening is Hamlette, a parody of Shakespeare's masterpiece, written, with tongue firmly in cheek, by Alison Williams. Something is funny in the state of Denmark! Hamlet is not a man at all, but a woman.

And although the story is (roughly) the same — ghosts, castles and strange marriages — it's all very much played for laughs.

Sort of a cheese Danish with sugar on top.

Annie West stars as Hamlette, along with Studio Theatre veterans Lucas Tennant, Janet Rice, Annette Cole (Huton), and Barb Guthrie. Behind the scenes, Yogi Sepp mans the lighting board, while Roberta Peets directs traffic as stage manager. The set is designed and built by Reiner Silberhorn, with set dressing and propping by Penny Silberhorn. Costume designer Patricia Parry creates the period attire for the stars to shine in, and Laurie Reesor makes the whole zany affair come together as director.

The second short play of the evening is Virtual Real-

ity, written by the legendary actor/playwright Alan Arkin. In this quirky one-act gem, two shady characters wait for equipment to arrive for an unspecified job, and the one in charge insists on doing an inventory of the crates. What follows is pure theatrical magic, calling forth virtual objects and bones of contention. As the characters are transported to a frozen wilderness they grow close, they grow apart, Photo courtesy Bruce Raby they become mortal eneVirtual Reality comes to life with Lucas Tennant and Joanna mies. Imagine the testy, silly one-upmanship of Abbott McAuley Treffers, the second play of An Evening of One Act and Costello crossed with Plays opening at the Studio Theatre Oct. 26 for four shows. the menacing ambiguity of Harold Pinter (screenwriter of Sleuth) and you'll get the idea. Jane Stott directs this deeply funny, finely honed tribute to the conjuring powers of theatre, starring award winning actors Lucas Tennant and Joanna McAuley Treffers.

As in years past, An Evening of One Act Plays is a tantalizing preview of the Eastern Ontario Drama League's One-Act Play Festival, this year hosted

by Rural Root Theatre in Constance Bay Nov. 3 and HOSTED BY SUPPORTING 4. Hamlette will be the StuBIG BROTHERS dio Theatre's entry in the BIG SISTERS OF LANARK COUNTY 2017 edition, where our theatre has a storied history of success: last year alone CAMP at the festival (held here in VETERANS FUND MERRYWOOD Perth) the Studio Theatre's production of The Real Inspector Hound won festival awards for best director, FOOD BANK best acting, best produc-

tion, and the People's Choice award for favourite play. This year's entry will no doubt continue that winning tradition.

An Evening of One Act Plays premières at the Studio Theatre in Perth for four shows only, Oct. 26, 27 and 28 at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, Oct. 29 at 2 p.m. And this year you can experience both of these bite-size one act comedies, Hamlette and Virtual Reality, for just $15! Tickets are available at the Book Nook (cash only please) 60 Gore St. E., (613267- 2350), and at Shadowfax, 67 Foster St., (613-267- 6817; shadowfax.on.ca) and Tickets Please, in the Matheson House Museum

Visitor Centre, 11 Gore St. E. (613 485-6434; ticketsplease.ca) both of which accept in-store, phone, online and credit card purchases and charge a modest convenience fee. Tickets are $15 at the door, and $10 at the door for students with ID. Please note: Studio Theatre season pass holders may be eligible for a partial rebate on their ticket, except on tickets purchased for opening night performances.

Model Parliament program accepting applications until Oct. 30 If you’re a high school student interested in politics or want an inside look at how legislation is passed at Queen’s Park, LeedsGrenville MPP Steve Clark is encouraging you to apply for the Legislative Assembly of Ontario’s Model Parliament program.

Applications for the three-day program that’s open to Ontario students in grades 10 to 12 are being accepted until Oct. 30.

Students selected to participate will be at Queen’s Park from Feb. 21-23, 2018.

“It’s important to give young people an opportunity to get engaged in the political process, to see the impact it has on their dayto-day lives and develop a better understanding of how the system works,” said Clark. “The Model

Parliament program is a great way to gain that insight and I know students who have represented LeedsGrenville in previous years really valued the experience.”

During the program, students have an opportunity to meet the key officials in the legislature, tour the building, learn about its history and study the province’s legislative process.

The highlight of the three days is when students take their seats in the Legislative Assembly Chamber to participate in a debate as the "MPP" for their home riding.

Anyone interested in learning more about the program or applying can do so by visiting: http:// discoveryportal.ontla.on.ca/en/ youth-programs/model-parliament.

New NEPS principal focused on student safety, new scheduling, goal-setting at Port Elmsley school

BY DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Kevin Fisher still remembers a student with the ironic name “Lucky.”

During his first vice-principal job in suburban Toronto, he taught at an elementary school with about 500 kids – where about 55 languages were spoken. “(It was) a little United Nations within the school,” said Fisher, during an interview on Thursday, Sept.

21, in his new office, where he is now the principal of North Elmsley Public School. In the kindergarten to Grade 5 school, there were students who were refugees, who came from places of great conflict. He was very aware of “all the trauma that these kids were bringing into the classroom.” One of them was “Lucky,” who was missing two fingers.

One day, Fisher asked Lucky why he was missing his fingers. Lucky replied that his uncle was carrying him as they were being fired upon. A bullet hit two of Lucky’s fingers – and then the same bullet killed his uncle.

“We have to have these kids whole before we can educate them,” he said.

“They have to feel safe.”

For Vietnamese boat children in the 1970s and early '80s, the sound of, say, a helicopter, would send them scurrying for cover under a desk. Even though they were safely out of harm's way in a Canadian classroom, “there were still trigger moments,” Fisher said, that he tried to alleviate with his

keeping it local and canadian for over 40 years

•local produce •local dairy •local honey •local cheese •local flowers •local vitamins & so much more

students.

One surprising trigger was Halloween, which was changed to black-andorange day.

“Do kids need to see more horror?” he asked, with machetes and blood?

Culturally, other kids did not grasp foodsmiths.com the concept. He would explain that Halloween meant dressing up – which they took to mean showing up in a shirt and tie on Oct. 31. Other chilTUESDAY OCTOBER 17th dren could not grasp a holiday where, 6:30 - 8:30pm they thought, they had to go out in for Med2 contouring, disguise and beg for food.

The mood weight loss program at the school changed, with a sudden Call to register: chill with people looking at non-white 613-267-8035 bodiboost@gmail.com students coming to class. For Fisher, his job was “still making everybody feel safe,” to tell his students, “you are still a valuable human.”

He did his undergraduate studies in biology and computers at the University of Waterloo, back in the days, he jokes, “when only the military had the News, events and information on your internet,” and in the days when “computers took up a whole room!” desktop, laptop or mobile device He later attended teachers’ college See what’s happening by visiting at the University of Ottawa, before landing his first teaching gig in the www.insideottawavalley.com/ north end of Etobicoke in Toronto. ottawavalley-events His first administration job was at Desmond Devoy/Metroland the school mentioned above in south www.facebook.com/PerthCourier Mississauga, in suburban Peel Region North Elmsley Public School’s new principal, Kevin Fisher, reads a book

west of Toronto.

After his time in Toronto, he and his family moved back to Macdonalds Corners, Lanark Highlands Township.

“It was nice to return, bring the family back and all,” said Fisher. “(It is) a totally different pace of life, quality of life.”

He and his wife, Carmela Ciocio, who is the principal at Naismith Memorial Public School in Almonte, have three children. Their youngest is a Grade 9 student at Perth and District Collegiate Institute, while the middle child, a son, is in his second year at Brock University in St. Catharines, Ont., studying sports management. His eldest daughter is in her third year of psychology studies at Concordia University in Montreal.

Upon returning to eastern Ontario, he was first the vice-principal at Naismith, before moving on to VP duties at Caldwell Street Public School in Carleton Place, and later Beckwith Public School. His first principal’s job brought him close to home, to Maple Grove Public School in Lanark vil-

lage, which was his last posting before being moved to Port Elmsley.

School changes Fisher and his team have already hit the ground running in terms of changes at the school – starting with timetable changes.

Working with staff to figure out what works, and what does not, they discovered that the final period of the day was just not delivering. It was 40 minutes of time at the very end of the day before bus dismissal but, oftentimes, with getting ready for the bus and tidying up, was chewed down to 30 minutes.

“How would you feel about not having that period at the end of the day?” Fisher recalled asking his staff, swapping it out for a recess period before dismissal, and moving to a schedule that saw “two chunks of learning, uninterrupted learning blocks,” to allow students to get deep into a subject – from kindergarteners getting into “deep play,” to older students doing science experiments.

“You need time to get into it,” he said.

The schedule changes have meant a later lunch, and “a bit of fine-tuning.”

In the classroom, Fisher is a big believer in setting “some learning goals,” he said. He gave the example of a gym class he helped teach earlier this month. He set the goal of “kicking a ball for distance and accuracy,” he said. “Every kid had a ball. In soccer, that wouldn’t have worked.”

His students wondered, however, if they were playing soccer. Well, no.

The skills were certainly transferable to soccer, but not every child would have had access to the ball, or, if they did, would not have had a lot of time with the ball. He was, pun intended, focused on the literal and figurative goals on the field.

“If you know what success looks like, it’s easier to achieve,” he said.

Off time In his spare time, Fisher enjoys cooking and gardening, two hobbies he admits that complement each other or, if you will, feed into each other.

He prefers gardening vegetables, and French cooking.

“I’m not quite Master Chef Canada, more like Master Chef wannabe!” he joked. “I like to put flair into my food.”

North Elmsley Public School’s new principal Kevin Fisher, a Toronto Maple Leafs fan, proudly holds up a picture of Leafs legend Johnny Bauer holding the Stanley Cup. The autographed picture is important to Fisher as more than just a piece of Leafs’ memorabilia - a student, knowing how much Mr. Fisher loves the Leafs, got the photo signed at an event Bauer was attending, and later gave it to Fisher as a gift.

DEVELOP A HOME FIRE ESCAPE PLAN TODAY…IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE TONIGHT! Install working smoke alarms on every storey and outside all sleeping areas of your home. It’s the law!

Develop a home fire escape plan.

Know what to do when the smoke alarm sounds. Sit down with everyone in your household and discuss how each person will get out of the home in a fire.

Practice your escape plan with everyone in your home.

Make sure everyone can get out quickly.

Make sure everyone knows two ways out of each room, if possible.

If the door of a room is blocked by smoke or fire, discuss an alternate escape route such as a window. Make sure all windows open easily. Security bars on windows should have quick-releasing devices so they can be easily removed.

Help those who need it!

Determine who will be responsible for helping young children, older adults, people with disabilities or anyone else who may need assistance.

Get low and go under the smoke to the nearest safe exit.

Most fire deaths are the result of smoke inhalation.

Choose a meeting place outside, a safe distance from your home.

A tree, street light or a neighbour’s home are all good choices. In case of fire, everyone should go directly to this meeting place to be accounted for.

Get out, stay out.

Never re-enter a burning building. Once you have safely escaped, call the fire department from outside your home using a cell phone or from a neighbour’s home.

Brownlee’s Metro donates 300 sports balls to nine local schools

BY DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

You did not have to wait until New Year’s Eve to see the ball drop in Times Square.

All you had to do was go to the parking lot of Brownlee’s Metro supermarket in Perth on the afternoon of Thursday, Oct. 5 to see representatives from several area elementary schools pick up about 300 assorted sports balls.

The balls included kickballs, basketballs, soccer balls, hock-

ey balls, footballs, volleyballs, and, to break things up a bit, sidewalk chalk.

“Through staff, customers, and some generous donations, it has allowed us to add this project to our Christmas Basket program,” wrote Avis Brownlee in a letter to this newspaper.

“This year, we are celebrating 40 years in business, so we will be distributing 40 complete Christmas baskets through the Children’s Aid Society.”

Brownlee commended Pat Loftus, Lisa Beamish, and Ar-

lene Nagle “for their tremendous dedication to this program of some 40 years.”

There were nine local schools included in the donation drive: Drummond Central Public School, Glen Tay Public School, Lombardy Public School, Maple Grove Public School, Maple Grove Public School, North Elmsley Public School, Queen Elizabeth Public School, The Stewart School, St. John Catholic elementary school, and Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic elementary school.

Shadowfax’s colours to stay for now as town hall reviews palette

BY DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Shadowfax does not need to worry about town hall staff painting over the Foster Street store’s exterior just yet.

Perth town council’s committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 3, decided, subject to full council approval later this month, to allow the store at 67 Foster St. to keep its colours until a review is presented back to council in December.

Council also voted to bring in an external heritage expert to review the Downtown Heritage Conservation District’s colour palette.

Shadowfax’s owner, Angie Gilchrist, began her delegation to the meeting with an apology to the town, saying she believed that her previous colour scheme, which was also heavy on purple, would be “grandfathered” in as it predated the heritage district designation.

“This was not done with any malicious intent,” said Gilchrist, admitting that the purple “turned out brighter than anticipated.” She did defend the paint scheme as “tasteful,” and added that “we are not looking for special treatment.”

However, she did note the overflow of positive messages supporting her store online and via text message.

She also said that there are more than 1,100 signatures on a petition circulated to keep the colours.

She began working at the store in 1989 alongside its founder, Wendy Laut, who later willed the store to her. She stressed that the colours were important to the late Laut, a former deputy mayor in Perth and one of the founders of the Stewart Park Festival.

“I cannot see why the old and new cannot coexist,” said Gilchrist, adding that “heritage does not need a colour,” pointing to brightly coloured front façades along Mill Street in Almonte. Meanwhile, in Perth, Gilchrist said she had heard examples from other small business owners that they were criticized because they had chosen a shade of beige that was “not an allowable shade of beige.”

Colours aside, Gilchrist also said that she is just trying to make a living.

“I believe that this bylaw is imposing on my rights … as a small-business owner,” she said. “This is not a hobby.”

Council decision She would like to be given more time for the paint to cure over the summer months.

Coun. Judy Brown said that “heritage is the product that Perth has to sell,” since it brings people to town.

Before the heritage district was created, “there were several vacant storefronts in town,” whereas today, “there are hardly any vacant storefronts.”

As the chair of the Downtown

Heritage Perth Business Improvement Area (BIA), Brown clarified that “the board has taken no position on this and no action on this,” noting that there had been 132 alteration permits granted in the time of the heritage designation, and only “a handful of violations,” she said.

Mayor John Fenik commended Gilchrist’s presentation and her store, saying “you’ve got a wonderful shop. The colours don’t upset me at all.”

He continued however, that “my problem is this,” that of setting a precedent. If he were allow a break with the rules in this case, “then the next person who comes in and says, ‘What about me? You did it for Angie,’” if someone wanted to “cover it (their store front) in shag carpeting or neon. There is a process.”

However, the process itself was not without its flaws, he said.

“I don’t like the process we have now,” said Fenik. He wanted to see a fine system in place where businesses who break the bylaws would pay a fine.

He pointed to another downtown business which has been, in his estimation, flouting the heritage designation, and he vowed that “I, as mayor, will not allow that kind of creep,” in the downtown core.

Coun. Jim Boldt acknowledged Gilchrist’s apology, saying that “you know you did something that you should not have done.” When he first saw the bright purple colours in August, “I went, ‘Wow!’… Is this legal?”

The town will be using the services of Dr. Carl Bray, a Kingston-based heritage expert. However, Boldt appeared wary of this decision.

“I am going to be weighing heavily on this so-called expert,” said Boldt. “I, for one, don’t like bringing in consultants.” In fact, Boldt reminded council that he was the lone vote against establishing a heritage district during a 2012 vote.

However, Coun. Jim Graff said that he was pleased to see discussion around a “look at some extension of the colour palette,” since some heritage areas do not even have a colour palette.

“There has to be a better way of enforcement,” said Fenik later, rather than threatening to repaint a façade at the store owner’s expense. “I like the colour. It doesn’t offend me in the slightest. It does spruce up Foster Street.”

Coun. Riq Turner cautioned Gilchrist’s supporters in the audience, and elsewhere, that “It’s great to get behind something that you like. (But) keep in mind that when you change the rules, they don’t just apply to what you like.”

Council voted unanimously to the review and Deputy Mayor John Gemmell, who chaired the meeting, assured Gilchrist jokingly that “no one is going to show up at your store at 2 a.m. to repaint your store.”

BY DESMOND DEVOY

It doesn’t take a whiz to see, or, rather, smell, the problem.

In fact, Perth town hall staff were proposing a $75 fine for anyone who allowed their animal “to urinate on downtown business area sidewalks or pedestrian laneways in the town of Perth,” read the draft bylaw, written by council clerk Lauren Walton.

Coun. Judy Brown had asked that the motion be deferred to allow the Downtown Heritage Perth Business Improvement Area (BIA) to look at it and provide comment, but other members of council were concerned about how such a bylaw would be enforced.

Certain areas of downtown smell, said Brown during Perth town council’s committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 3. She said that one pedestrian alleyway in particular “is absolutely horrible,” she said. The stench is “so obnoxious it could be considered a health and safety issue.”

“I think we should go ahead and debate this (now),” said Mayor John Fenik, stressing that “I don’t know how in Heaven’s name we can issue a ticket,” for such an offence.

“A dog is not going to tell you when it will urinate. I don’t see any way a bylaw enforcement officer can issue a $75 ticket,” said Fenik.

Coun. Jim Boldt agreed, stating “we might as well ban dogs from the main streets,” referring to heritage areas like Gore Street and Foster Street.

“What I would rather see us do is see us revisiting our dogs defecating on the sidewalk (policy),” he said.

Coun. Riq Turner is well known as a former member of a local rock band — and he still plays gigs on occasion — and noted that the urine may not all be caused by animals.

“We’re blaming the dogs … (but there is) a likelihood that a lot of this is human,” Turner said, specifically “late at night (with) people going from bar to bar.”

Turner joked that the only way to tell would be through DNA testing,

While Dubh the cat is not responsible for any of the animal urination problems in downtown Perth - he lives in Scarborough, Ont., after all - council defeated a by-law to fine animal owners whose pets urinate downtown, because of enforcement concerns. but Deputy Mayor John Gemmell, who was chairing the meeting, jumped right in to say, “there will be no DNA (testing)!”

Coun. Ed McPherson owns two dogs, and “with this bylaw, I could never walk downtown with my dogs again,” he said. He called the proposed bylaw “unenforceable.”

McPherson also heaped scorn on dog owners in particular who “do not pick it up,” after their dogs have defecated.

The bylaw motion was defeated unanimously.

about the foul smell predominantly emanating from the pedestrian laneways and/or Downtown Business Area sidewalks in town as a result of animals urinating in these areas,” she wrote.

“Staff have had to regularly wash away urine from these pedestrian laneways to help reduce the unpleasantness of moving thorough these areas and the health and safety of our residents in public places.”

Walton added that there was a cost to tourism too, since, “most of the pedestrian walkways are connected to parking lots and are therefore the first place our visitors experience when they are visiting town.”

Sleep begets sleep

hen I write about sleep, I feel as if I should dig into literature and start off with some dramatic quotes.

Sleep is so darned important. And it’s a little magical. And it can be a tiny bit elusive.

I really started paying attention to sleep when Boychild was born – both his and my own. Of all the many lessons I learned about sleep in those early years, the most important one was this (here’s a quote!): “Sleep begets sleep.”

You may think keeping kids awake for a long time means they will be so tired that sleep will come quickly and easily once they hit the pillow.

Wrong.

There’s a fine balance with sleep.

If you’re a parent you learn an overtired baby won’t sleep well and, thusly, neither will you. This is why naps are important. At some point, though, things shift a bit and we also learn too many naps lead to allnight parties.

There seems to be a fairly long period in adult life when you can get away with some sleep cheats.

I remember, for example, having rather unpredictable and sometimes sporadic sleep patterns when I was a student. In those days I could get away with naps. I could also drink coffee at night and still doze off.

Those were heady days.

I could also get away with a lot less sleep in my 20s (although not as much night-time caffeine). My 30s don’t really count because my sleeping decisions weren’t always up to me (see babies, above), so sleep happened whenever it did.

Starting in my 30s and definitely in my 40s, I began to pay a little more attention to the whole good sleep thing. One thing that was pretty easy to institute, for example, was having a fairly consistent bedtime and wake-up time.

In that era, I could still manage to sleep in, so I got in the habit of setting an alarm on weekends so I didn’t overdo it. Yes, I would sleep in a little, but definitely not like the teenager I used to be (or like the ones I now know).

Eventually I didn’t really need to set the alarm on weekends (but did anyway). Even when the kids got to the point they didn’t need me to get up with them on weekends and help

them with, well, almost everything, I still rolled out of bed fairly early.

Maybe not as early as a work day, but early enough to flip through the paper or read a book or enjoy some peace and quiet with a cat.

Now, though, I seem to have hit a new phase in life and I don’t know what to call it. Maybe it’s the “I’m turning into my parents” phase.

My parents are, and have been for as long as I can remember, early birds. “Sleeping in” for them is in the neighbourhood of 6 a.m., even though they are retired. And when I still lived at home – and for many years after that – they could be counted on to be up watching the late news at 11, so it’s not as if they were making it up at the other end.

(That is also where I acquired my late-news-junkie habit, by the way.

It was part of a long-standing routine.)

Things have changed. I know they usually go to bed much earlier now. It seems I do, too. Sometimes even before the kids.

Over the last several months I have found my eyes popping open, usually in the darkness, well before my alarm goes off. I won’t go so far as to say I feel well rested when I roll over and look at the clock, which makes it difficult to be inspired to jump out of bed and do something productive, such as exercise.

Man, I wish I could get in the habit of jumping out of bed and exercising. (I am skilfully avoiding making any pledges on that front.)

I like mornings, but I tend to need a little wake-up-with-the-newspaper-and-coffee time.

So, as I continue to see times on the clock that are more in line with my early-bird parents, it has meant a shift at the other end. The late news in my world now starts at 10. And sometimes even that’s pushing it, as my eyes blink slowly shut.

I’m now seeing the grown-up version of “sleep begets sleep.”

I guess it’s all part of the cycle of life.

Singh: Straight Outta Brampton

rampton, big ups!

Yes, Sunday, Oct. 1, Jagmeet Singh, the MPP for Bramalea-Gore-Malton (as of this writing – he may have resigned his Queen’s Park seat by the time we go to print) won the leadership of the federal New Democratic Party.

On the one hand, being from Brampton myself, I was delighted.

On the other hand, as I joked to my wife, “Oh, God. Someone from Brampton is in charge!”

All in jest. Mostly.

To be fair, Singh has moved around. He was born in Scarborough in Toronto’s east end, where my brother now lives with his family (happy birthday bro, by the way.)

He’s also lived in Newfoundland (Singh, not my brother.)

And it is a different feeling to see a federal party leader who is not only from your home town, but, also, your own age (he’s just a year older than I.) Earlier this month, Thomas Mul-

DESMOND DEVOY Des Says cair handed the reins over to a man who won a surprise victory on the first ballot.

But Singh has surprised us in Brampton before.

The day after the 2011 election, having been up late the night before covering Steve Clark’s re-election as MPP down in Brockville, I wanted to see how the hometown had voted.

The area has gone Liberal red since 2003, having been a solid blue for Mike Harris’ Progressive Conservatives during their eight years in office.

But I remember vividly scanning the area’s ridings, and then doing a double take. What was this, in the heart of a Liberal red lake, a spring of bright

I actually took my glasses off (my wife insists I have a touch of colour blindness) and then zoomed in. Yep. Orange.

I never thought I’d see the day.

Back in 1990, during Bob Rae’s surprise surge, the NDP had come within a few hundred votes of taking a Brampton riding.

Brampton has seen leaders before.

For many years, Premier Bill Davis was Brampton’s MPP. He still lives in Brampton, in his house beside Gage Park, where I used to play as a child and later would go skating in the winter.

Reading Rae’s book From Protest to Power, Rae wrote that Davis likely brought full public funding of the Catholic school system in place in 1985 (just before he left office) because of the influx of Portuguese immigrants to Brampton. I should know

COLUMN From page P8

– half my classrooms growing up were full of these immigrant kids, and it was not uncommon to hear Portuguese spoken on the playground.

Now, Brampton has a large population from India and Pakistan. As you drive north on Highway 427 towards Queen Street (Highway 7) look to your right.

There, like something out of a Bollywood movie, is a beautiful Sikh temple (Shri Swaminarayan Mandir).

The town has changed, to be sure. My parents, Irish immigrants, were looking out the window of their condo a few years before my mother died. They arrived in Canada around the same time as another couple, Raj and Sheshi, from India. Outside of their window, fireworks lit up the late evening sky.

“Is it Canada Day?” said my mother, puzzled.

“Ah no, Dymps,” said my father. “It’s them Indian people. It’s Diwali, the Indian New Year.”

“It’s beautiful,” my mother said, as they quietly watched the fireworks together. They were once the newcomers. Now, the latest wave were celebrating, just as they had celebrated St. Patrick’s Day with their community many years ago.

With the terrorist attacks in Edmonton and Las Vegas earlier this month, we know that the world can be a scary place.

And the election of the first nonCaucasian to lead a major party is not going to change it, in the grand scheme of things. Before his election in 2008, a writer in The Atlantic Monthly magazine wrote that the election of Barack Obama would be a game changer in race relations, at home and abroad.

It was, but not maybe in the way the writer had thought.

Singh says he wants to eliminate police being able to pull people over because of the colour of their skin – as had happened to him on occasion. Fair play to him if he can make it so.

He’s lived it. And we can only succeed if we dare to dream of a better world, for all of us. He may be dreaming if he thinks he can be Canada’s next prime minister (only because he leads the third place party in the House of Commons…but then, didn’t another flashy, well-dressed, articulate, savvy young fellow from Montreal lead the third party to victory in the last federal vote?)

But I know this much to be absolutely true, having lived there for the first 26 years of my life – you underestimate Bramptonians at your peril.

Would you do retirement living with your friends?

Just last week, I watched this documentary on how a group of retired friends decided to build a house together so they can still live independently while saving on living costs. The three couples built a home that provided each couple with its own private bedroom, bathroom and office den while they have shared living and kitchen quarters.

With a vibrant retirement community here in Perth, it got me thinking about whether this is something that would interest locals.

And, in fact, it is. Apparently there is a group here in the Perth area working on this exact plan. I think it’s brilliant.

You save money yet maintain a social circle and shared household duties. Would you ever do this?

Drummond Central School students enjoy first forest day Drummond Central School had its first Forest Friday on Sept. 22.

Outdoor educator Laurie Clark who promotes an appreciation and understanding of nature by fostering responsible environmental citizenship, was a guest speaker.

Drummond Central Forest Fridays aim to provide a context that can enrich and enliven education in all subject areas while offering students and teachers the opportunity to develop a deeper connection with themselves, their role in society, and their interdependence on one another and on Earth’s natural systems.

Lanark Community Justice school program (‘Be Strong’) is also strongly inspiring Laurie’s pedagogical approach in the outdoors, especially with respect to exercising restorative communication circles throughout the Forest Friday program.

Our first Forest Friday on Sept. 22 was a special full-day event! The students gathered in the gymnasium for an introductory circle sharing to discuss the Forest Friday monthly theme. The intention to gather all 60 students in the morning to introduce Forest Friday was to promote school community in a restorative sharing circle.

Students received the opportunity to learn hoopdance to enrich the music and dance curriculum in the outdoor classroom. The children were inspired to choreograph their own hoop-dance movement blending four different techniques which were associated with the four elements: earth, air, water, and fire. Thank you to ‘Blue Skies in the Community’ for their assistance in funding Meghan Robinson’s hoop-dance workshop (‘Wider Circles’) in this outdoor education enrichment program.

The afternoon lesson plan included yet another circle discussion with students sitting on hay bales in the school’s Garden Classroom.

Students and teachers exercised their compass orienteering skills as they set up stones to mark the four cardinal directions.

All classes collaborated in the school project of building an Insect Hotel (a.k.a.: Bee and Bee) to offer our friendly neighbourhood pollinators a home to hibernate in the school community.

The theme of the four elements introduced in the morning hoop-dance workshop emerged once again into the Grade 2 curriculum strand: Air and water in the environment - How seasonal changes affect changes on air and water.

Throughout the seasons, students and teachers will have opportunities to observe and record changes in their garden classroom’s habitat.

The mission of educating a community culture through delivering cross-curriculum strands in the great outdoors is happening! October’s Forest program will not be a whole-day event; rather, the lessons will resume in a regular classtime schedule.

October’s Forest Friday will offer each class a nature walk in the wilder areas located beyond the playground fenceline. The lesson plan will inspire each class to observe and identify plant patterns of the local flora. The Roman Mythological character ‘Flora’, the goddess of flowering plants, may enter into a musical flute tale or two along nature’s pathway. Class nature walks will enliven descriptive dialogue, sorting and classifying while wandering with an investigative eye. We will conduct simple investigations through free exploration, and guided activities using inquiry skills (questions, planning, observing, and communicating). The children will demonstrate their understanding of the natural world and the need to care for and respect nature as Earth stewards.

According to a website by military historian T. Scott Pinkowski, “The Siegfried Line was a series of fortifications on the western border of Germany, stretching more than 390 miles from Kleve, near the Dutch border, all the way to ‘Weil am Rhein’ near the border of Switzerland.

It was called the ‘Westwall’ by the Germans, and was built between 1938 and 1940, made of more than 18,000 pillboxes and tank traps.

The fortifications were built in several distinct construction phases, the first of which was the Pioneering Program of 1938, consisting of small pillboxes with 20-inch thick walls and three forward facing embrasures. The next phase was the Limes Program of 1938, which consisted of much stronger and larger bunkers with ceilings and walls 5 feet thick. 3,471 of these (known as Type-10 bunkers) were built all along the length of the Siegfried Line.” ‘We’re Going to Hang out the Washing on the Siegfried Line’ was a popular song by Ulster songwriter Jimmy Kennedy, written during the early stages of World War II.

Local team competes at national poetry festival Live Poet Society (LiPS) is thrilled to announce this year’s Canadian Festival of Spoken Word (CFSW) will take place in Peterborough, Ont. from Oct. 22 to 28.

LiPS will be representing our patch in this years’ festival. LiPS sent its first team to Calgary in 2008 and holds the title of being Canada’s only rural team to take part in the competition.

For readers who may never have heard of slam poetry, it is a live performance event where performing poets recite their original work on stage to an audience of peers, spectators and judges.

The poet must deliver their piece – either memorized or read off the page - within three minutes or they will lose points. Judges score each performance out of ten for content and quality of delivery and the poet with the highest score at the

end of two rounds wins the competition.

Because it’s being held in Peterborough, this year’s national competition is close to home and residents of Lanark County who are fans of poetry, spoken work and performance arts can easily drive to see the shows.

LiPS is hosting two shows to kick off the season, one on Friday Oct. 20 at Coutts Coffee Roastery & Cafe in Perth at 6:30 p.m. It will be followed by a festival fundraiser on Oct. 22 at Under Pressure Coffee House in Carleton Place at 1 p.m.

Come meet the team at either show and give support to five talented locals who will be sharing their works on the national stage. For information about the festival show times, visit www. cfsw.ca .

County police boards to consider supporting dementia tracking system

BY DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

A proposed dementia tracking system for Lanark County could cost as much as $16,000.

Louise Noble, the executive director of the Alzheimer Society of Lanark, Leeds, Grenville, informed the Lanark County Association of Police Services Boards (PSB) that such a system, to track dementia patients, or children with autism, would cost about $16,000 for an initial setup.

The program “quickly detect missing people,” said Tay Valley Township’s Neil Fennell, the association chair, in introducing Noble, because “prompt discovery,” means a greater likelihood of survival for the missing person. Allowing too much time to go by, however, means a “greater … likelihood that the outcome will be tragic,” said Fennell. “Is there a way to make that (program) possible here?” he asked, during the association’s quarterly meeting at the Lanark and District Civitan Club in Lanark Highlands Township on Wednesday, Oct. 4.

Noble said that “Project Lifesaver” is being used successfully in places like greater Belleville, where the patient wears a device that looks like an oversized watch. If the person wanders off, technology can track the person’s whereabouts.

There is a $400 cost to the family “right off the top,” said Noble, with $350 for the purchase of the tracker, plus a $50 administration fee. Every two months, the batteries need to be changed in the device, at a cost of $20 per change.

The device has a special battery, so, “You can’t go down to Walmart to pick up a battery,” said Noble.

“We may have to look at fundraising,” said Noble, in order to set the system up, since the OPP, local PSBs, and her society, did not have the funds to set up the program on their own.

Desmond Devoy/Metroland

Louise Noble, executive director of the Alzheimer Society of Lanark, Leeds, and Grenville, hands out some paperwork during the Lanark County Association of Police Services Boards meeting at the Lanark and District Civitan Club on Wednesday, Oct. 4.

“It would have to be fundraised. It is not something that we as an Alzheimer Society can fund.” However, she added later that “we would be happy to manage the program,” especially since “caregivers will come to us for the bracelets.”

Noble suggested that, for example, a local company could sponsor the program, and their company logo could go on the side of the equipment.

After the initial setup, “we can order as many bracelets as we want. If we wanted to order 100, we could,” she said.

The program would see an outside agency, likely the Alzheimer Society for example, fa-

someone goes missing, call (the police),” she said.

Back to the boards Brian Campbell, the Deputy Reeve of Tay Valley Township, said that “I think it is a good idea.”

Bill Dobson, the Reeve of Montague Township and the Lanark County Warden, wondered if, possibly, instead of the OPP, local search and rescue crews could administer the program instead.

“Maybe we should explore this more with search and rescue?” asked Dobson.

However, Noble noted that “if a child goes missing, you phone the police.” Similarly, for a missing dementia patient, “the (caregiver) is going to phone the police, they are not going to call search and rescue.”

Insp. Derek Needham, the detachment commander for Lanark County OPP, is aware of the project, but was awaiting direction from the county PSB association before making any moves. OPP also declined comment as to whether such a project could be added into its budget.

By investing in this project up front, however, there will be cost savings down the road, according to Tay Valley Township representative Maureen Towaij.

“There is a vast cost to search and rescue,” she said.

“Isn’t it all about the money?” said Fennell.

“We are not going to be able to do that from existing PSB budgets,” or even municipal budgets, so fundraising will be the way to go.

“What is the value of a life?” asked Noble.

“It’s about us making an ask to other community organizations,” like service clubs.

cilitate the purchase of the equipment, which would then be given to the Lanark County OPP detachment, for them to administer at times when it is needed.

The program is also intended for “people who are still at home,” said Noble.

There are currently 3,900 people in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville who have Alzheimer's or dementia, of which 1,700 live in Lanark County. Of that 1,700, about 70 per cent still live at home.

“Often, when people are found, it is within a Fennell said that association members would very short distance of their home,” said Noble.

She added that her society is constantly telling now go back to their respective police boards caregivers not to wait if they see that their loved and gauge support for the program, since “we one with dementia has wandered off. “When are not in any position to make a decision."

Classical woodwind trio coming to MERA Oct. 15 A trio of experienced woodwind musicians, with the wonderful title of Harmonious Pigs, will be presenting a concert at McDonald’s Corners/ Elphin Recreation and Arts on Sunday, Oct. 15 at 2 p.m.

It is part of the ongoing Blue Jeans Classical music series at the MERA Schoolhouse.

The Harmonious Pigs are comprised of Susan Morris, who has been playing principal oboe or English horn with the Ottawa Symphony for more than 30 years; Ben Glossop, who has been principal bassoon with the symphony for over 20 years; and Shauna McDonald, who has been the principal clarinet for more than 10 years.

The trio will be presenting a delightful program of Ludwig Van Beethoven and Ignaz Joseph Pleyel, along with the French masters Paul Pierné and Jacques Ibert. All together, they will be sharing 15 musical gems.

The trio has pointed out that a famous conductor once said that the way to train an orchestra is to make them play Mozart, Beethoven and French Impressionist music.

Therefore, these three fine musicians of the Harmonious Pigs reed trio will be honing their skills with the Ottawa Symphony Orchestra in an all Mozart program Oct. 1 and 2 at the Shenkman Arts Centre in Ottawa.

The three musicians believe that music

has a way of blurring the social differences in age and if the people playing together get along, wonderful things can happen. This is all a big hint as to the origins of their curious name. If you think you’ve figured it out or have a wild or creative guess, please come to the concert and share it with them they’d love to hear it.

Tickets for each performance are $25, plus convenience fee, and are available at Ticketsplease.ca or 613-485-6434. They can ordered and then be picked up at the door before the concert.

Alberta bound: Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital highlighted at Canadian Stroke Congress Members of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital (PSFDH) family attended the Canadian Stroke Congress held in Calgary, Alta. from Sept.

9-11. Michele Bellows, vice-president, Patient Care Services/CNE and Crystal Newman showcased the recent results for the 2016 collaborative initiative with Brockville General Hospital and two other PSFDH initiatives were highlighted.

The event is co-hosted by the Canadian Stroke Consortium and the Heart and Stroke Foundation and it is a uniquely Canadian forum for experts to share the latest research findings, exchange ideas, and make the connections which will change the future of stroke. It brings together researchers, neurologists, nurses, rehabilitation specialists, policy-makers, health system decision makers — and many others — in an unprecedented opportunity to improve the brain health of Canadians.

The Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital was fortunate to have three posters accepted for conference. The

first poster spoke to the successes of the acute stroke unit which is a collaborative between Brockville General Hospital and PSFDH which has demonstrated a significant decrease in mortality.

The second poster demonstrated the success of the case finding in the emergency department that has decreased the number of missed patients in the emergency department who had met the criteria for referral to the Vascular Protection Clinic.

The third poster reflected the significant increase in referrals (up 210 per cent in two-and-a-half years) with the reduction in wait times during this time frame.

The creation of an integrated stroke strategy was in recognition that stroke patients are more likely to survive and return to their community when acute care is clustered in an identified acute stroke unit which was identified at Brockville General Hospital. The acute care service transferred from PSFDH to Brockville General Hospital in May 1, 2016. While a stroke

Perth library celebrates Ontario Public Library Week, holds fine amnesty

October is Canadian Library Month. During this month, libraries and library partners across Canada raise awareness of the valuable role libraries play in Canadians' lives. In Ontario, we celebrate our public libraries during Ontario Public Library Week (OPLW), on Oct. 15 to 21.

To celebrate, the Perth Union Library will be hosting a fine amnesty week. From Oct. 15-21, any items returned to the library that are overdue or marked lost will have all fines waived.

“The library is the original sharing economy," said Erika Heesen, CEO/ chief librarian. “We’re encouraging

people to celebrate the value of the library and to bring materials back to the library so that other community members can take advantage of them."

The library sees an average of 124,493 visits to the library each year.

The average library cardholder borrows 21 items every year! The Perth Union Library encourages all community members to share their library story with them or on social media with the hashtag #getthecard.

Doris Martin

Ever so peacefully at home, with her daughters by her side, on Saturday, September 30, 2017, after a beautiful day of reminiscing with her sister and her girls, Doris Mae Martin of London, and formerly of Smiths Falls, in her 96th year. Beloved wife and best friend of the late George Thomas Martin (1995). Endlessly devoted mother of Ruth (Scott Adams) of London and Joan (Luis Cleto) of Stratford. Cherished “Grammie” of Erica Cleto and the late Matthew Cleto, and of Carolyn, Jonathan and Robert Adams. Loving sister of Isobel Anderson (the late James “Jim”) of Smiths Falls, the late Jean Gilpin, and Flora (the late James “Jim”) Dougherty of Brantford.

Dear Aunt of Jill and Carol Dougherty and Jack Anderson. Beloved friend of Shirley Charlton, Teresa Muir and Marian Zehr. Doris grew up in a warm and busy household of four girls in Smiths Falls, her father “Barney” driving locomotives for CP Rail and her mother “Katie” caring for the girls, sewing their clothes, cooking, baking, making preserves and managing the day-to-day activities. As a young girl, Doris’ life revolved around playing tennis with her sisters and friends at the Smiths Falls Tennis Club. Many an opponent experienced her wicked backhand slice.

Doris also loved playing the piano and went “on the road” as the pianist for the Smiths Falls Curling Club. Doris was an enthusiastic member of the Presbyterian Church Drama Group, proudly playing “Miss Chatterbox” one year. Doris met George in high school and soon adopted his love for boating and the Rideau Lakes.

Some of their happiest times were spent at regattas or touring the shoreline in George’s handsome wooden boat. Doris worked at Massey Ferguson as Secretary to the Manager, as a teller at the Bank of Nova Scotia, and as an Operator at Bell Telephone. She attended Nursing School in Kingston where she received her Nurse’s Cap. Doris and George were married and, after the birth of their two daughters, Doris devoted herself to the love and care of her family. Her generosity was infinite. George’s death in 1995 was a time of great sadness for Doris. It was also a time of new beginnings as Doris moved to London, Ontario. Here, she enjoyed a circle of dear friends. Above all, this gave Doris the opportunity to be close to her family, especially her five grandchildren who were everything to her and who were blessed to share so many happy times with her and know her so well. Doris loved going on road trips with George, especially to the Chicago Boat Show. She loved watching sports, particularly hockey and tennis, and she cheered loudly! She loved chocolate, ice cream and all things sweet. She valued attention to detail – she loved a well-manicured lawn or garden. She loved finding that perfect Christmas tree or birthday card. She loved fine china. She had gorgeous handwriting and wrote interesting, newsy letters.

She was funny and witty into the last few days of her long life. Doris’ funeral service will be held at Harris Funeral Home, 220 St. James St. at Richmond, London on Friday, October 6 at 4:30, with visitation preceding from 3:30 – 4:30 pm. Family interment at Hillcrest Cemetery, Smiths Falls on Saturday, October 14 at 11:00 a.m. Memorial contributions to The May Court Club of London Breakfast Program would be appreciated.

Smiths Falls Bears The Carleton Place Canadians dominated the Smiths Falls Bears on Friday, Oct. 6, defeating the Bears 3-0.

The Canadians entered the third period already up 1-0, and a second goal had the Bears running scared.

A decision by the Bears very late in the third period to pull their goalie proved costly as that led to the Canadians’ third goal of the evening.

The bad news continued for the Bears on Thanksgiving Day, Monday, Oct. 9, when they were defeated by the Nepean Raiders, 4-2.

The Bears next take on the Kanata Lasers, when they travel to Ottawa’s west end, on Thursday, Oct. 12. They welcome the visiting Cornwall Colts on Friday, Oct. 13. Their final weekend game will be in the upper

“ Why do I hear but not under stand? ” If you struggle to understand, you’re not alone, in fact 47% of Canadians over the age of 60 have hearing loss. Your hearing difficulties could be caused by damaged hearing hair cells inside your inner ear (cochlea). When damage occurs in the high-frequency areas of the cochlea (where consonants are heard), speech may sound garbled and comprehension may become difficult. The right hearing aid could help you improve your comprehension.
