Army arrives with convoy of strength BY DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

In many other countries, the army arriving at the seat of local political power would be an ominous sign. But here in Perth, on the morning of Wednesday, Oct. 12, as a convoy of army vehicles rumbled down Gore Street East, two LAV-6 (Light Assault Vehicle) units peeled away from the temporary headquarters of the 2nd Regiment, Royal Canadian Horse Artillery, at the Perth fairgrounds, and headed over to Market Square, behind Perth town hall, for a welcome ceremony from local dignitaries. The regiment is in town for a few days for training as part of Operation Tomahawk, and shortly after the two LAVs rumbled in, Coun. Jim Graff joked that “these would be the wrong kind of vehicles to have a road rage incident with.” See ARMY page P10

Fenik proposes changes to Lanark County warden election process BY ASHLEY KULP

akulp@metroland.com

Perth mayor John Fenik is suggesting some big changes to the way Lanark County council elects its warden, beginning with a nomination period. Fenik discussed the matter amongst fellow county councillors during the Oct. 12 Lanark County corporate services committee meeting. His proposal is due to what he calls the warden role having been “elevated to a higher political position,” with a seat at the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus (EOWC) table. And his counterparts agreed to consider the changes for 2018, recommending staff prepare a report with options. His biggest proposal is to enact a set term for a nomination period for warden. Traditionally, the warden is decided at the inaugural meeting of county council in December, leaving councillors scrambling to gather votes. “I know some people have been talking about running for warden (this year) or expressing some interest in it and I know one individual who has definitely said that they’re in the race, but it’s becoming more and more of a race...” Fenik stated. “What I felt is that, like any other election, there should be a set nomination period.” He also sought to elect the warden earlier, for instance in October, so there is a bit of a training/mentoring period with the current warden.

“Some counties elect the warden in October and the new warden takes office in December. This would allow the new warden to be with the current warden to attend the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus, to allow for overlap of duties and responsibilities that are there,” he noted. Allowing for a nomination period would also ensure the inaugural meeting ran more smoothly. “...Instead of five candidates running with their loved ones in the audience, we know who the warden would be and so that family could be invited, dignitaries could be invited and the swearing-in would take place,” Fenik said. “I think it’s a great idea,” said Coun. Sharon Mousseau (Beckwith deputy reeve). “It avoids having people at the door on election day, saying, ‘I’ve decided last night, I’m running.’ It’s more open and transparent, so I think it would be good.” These changes would “define the parameters and I think keep people a little more on track of what they’re feeling and what they want to do,” Fenik commented. “...It gives a definition around the whole process and I think in the end, it just makes it a more predictable process of how it (warden election) unfolds,” he continued. Other county councillors were in favour of the changes, which would require amendments to county council’s

procedural bylaw. Coun. Jerry Flynn (Carleton Place deputy mayor) added his own suggestion to the mix. “I would like to see the option of any warden being able to serve for two years. If we’re going to change things up, let’s put that out there,” he remarked. Fenik said that may be something to explore, particularly since he believes it’s Lanark County’s turn to serve as chair of the EOWC. However, the one-year term for the county’s warden could be a deterrent. “...Part of what I felt when I was warden and at the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus and I think all previous wardens have felt this, Lanark County has never been in the running to chair the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus because we have a one-year term,” he stated, adding the overlap could work in the county’s favour to begin lobbying early for the top EOWC seat. “You’re right, John. Some of them (wardens) are on there for six years, four years, three years,” pointed out warden Gail Code (Drummond/North Elmsley deputy reeve). “I’m sitting there and they’ve got so much more experience so it is hard to walk into that room.” However, Mousseau noted, “I think our procedural bylaw allows for that two-year term. There’s nothing that prevents that.” Going along with being elected as EOWC chair, the county’s CAO serves

as secretary. “If that’s something that Kurt (Greaves, Lanark County CAO) wanted to do and the newly-elected warden wanted to do...we can lobby to make that happen,” Fenik said. Coun. Brian Campbell (Tay Valley Coun.) said it should be up to the individual warden to determine whether they want to run for EOWC chair, to which Fenik agreed. “You’re co-ordinating 13 counties, whatever it is, so each candidate has to stand and speak for what they believe in the future and certainly that may not be of interest,” he said. In the end, county councillors asked

staff to prepare a report outlining the possible changes at a future meeting. Issues such as how to tackle the position during a municipal election year would have to be ironed out. “I think obviously we’re not going to do it for this year, so if we could get some kind of staff report showing what the different processes are around the county,” said Coun. Brian Stewart (Lanark Highlands mayor). “...There are some things we’re not thinking of. Leave it with staff to do a report at some point...to consider for the following year. I think they’ve (staff) got a good flavour here tonight...”

The 10th annual Build a Mountain of Food Campaign officially kicked off on Oct. 13. The initiative, which raises funds for local food banks, will once again be holding food blitzes throughout Lanark, Leeds and Grenville. Above, a donation is accepted last year at Metro in Perth. The first blitz on Nov. 12 will include Almonte and Carleton Place.

Tenth annual Build a Mountain of Food campaign hits the ground running BY EVELYN HARFORD

eharford@metroland.com

The 10th year of Build a Mountain of Food campaign has officially commenced after a meeting between event organizers and local food bank managers on Thursday, Oct. 13. Sponsors, Town and Country Chrysler in Smiths Falls, along with participating media partners, Metroland Media, TV Cogeco, Town and Country TV (TCTV) and Lake 88 Radio, have once again teamed up to support area food banks to help fill the shelves of local food banks this holiday season. Carolyn Barr, manager of the Smiths Falls Community Food Bank, boasts of the joy and success the food bank gets from important initiatives like this. “We couldn’t function without them,” she said. “Area food banks continue to play a vital role, providing necessary assistance to the many faces of hunger in our communities, including seniors, single parents, the working poor, and unfortunately, many children,” writes Hugh Colton, an organizer behind the campaign, in the official launch media release. “This year we hope, again, it’ll be a big success,” said Colton after the kick-off meeting on Thursday. To date, the Build a Mountain of Food Campaign has contributed 55,522 pounds of food and $263,044.18 in cash donations – a truly massive mountain.

Eleven local towns and villages will participate in the campaign: Almonte, Carleton Place, Perth, Lanark, Smiths Falls, Westport, Elgin, Portland, Merrickville, Athens, and Delta. Food blitz days are scheduled at area grocery store locations to help the campaign. Food blitz dates and locations include: Saturday, Nov. 12: • Almonte: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Patrice’s Independent Grocer, in support of the Lanark County Food Bank – The Hunger Stop. • Carleton Place: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Mitchell’s Independent Grocer, FreshCo and Giant Tiger, in support of the Lanark County Food Bank – The Hunger Stop. Saturday, Nov. 19: • Perth: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Brownlee’s Metro, Barnabe’s Independent Grocer, Foodsmiths and Giant Tiger, in support of the Perth Good Food Bank. • Lanark: 9 a.m. to noon at Lanark Highlands Food Pantry and Thrift Store, in support of the Lanark Food Bank. Saturday, Nov. 26: • Smiths Falls: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., at Andress’ Independent Grocer, Food Basics, The Garden Market and Giant Tiger, in support of the Smiths Falls Community Food Bank. Saturday, Dec. 3: • Westport: 9 a.m. to noon at Kudrinko’s, in support of the Westport Food Bank. • Elgin: 1 to 4 p.m. at Gordanier Freshmart, in support of the Elgin Food Bank.

Saturday, Dec. 10: • Portland: 9 a.m. to noon at the Portland LCBO and RBC, in support of the Portland Food Bank. • Merrickville: 1 to 4 p.m. at the Merrickville Food Market, in support of the Merrickville Lions Club Christmas Food Hamper Campaign. Saturday, Dec. 17: • Athens: 9 a.m. to noon at Athens Fresh Market, in support of the Athens Food Bank. • Delta: 1 to 4 p.m. at the Delta Country Market, in support of the Delta Food Bank. During the food blitzes, Town and Country Chrysler will be on hand with donated Dodge Grand Caravans, asking people to help fill the vans and support the food banks. “The beauty of these events is that all the money and food stays within the community where it’s donated,” said Colton. “Give where you live.” Colton said if any other community members want to participate to get in touch. Create a challenge or event, or simply donate at one of the existing events to help build the massive mountain of food that will help families this holiday season. Local organizations have already contributed to Build a Mountain of Food prior to the official kick-off. Honourable mention goes to the Lombard Glen Golf and Country Club and participants of the Harvest Run.

Lanark County Stewardship Council proposes natural heritage linkage strategy BY ASHLEY KULP

akulp@metroland.com

A new natural heritage linkage strategy spearheaded by the Lanark County Stewardship Council (LCSC) could enhance the county for generations to come. Members of the stewardship council, including Andy Kerr-Wilson, Anne Bendig and Franziska Von Rosen filled Lanark County councillors in on their proposed project during the Sept. 21 economic development committee meeting. Kerr-Wilson, who has been a member of the LCSC for more than 20 years, said the major initiative is entitled ‘Bridging the Gap.’ “The project goal is to develop a strategy to increase linkages and connectivity between natural heritage features in Lanark County, to sustain their ecological integrity and improve water quality along the river corridors,” he explained. Pilot projects to identify natural heritage features and conduct mapping are currently underway in the municipalities of Tay Valley and Mississippi Mills. To make the strategy a reality, the council has made applications through the county’s community grants program, within the agriculture and forestry categories. But, Kerr-Wilson said further funds will be needed.

“The ask that we have tonight comes out of the lessons we’ve learned on those pilot projects, not to mention our 20 years of experience doing this kind of thing in the county,” he said. These linkages can include watercourses, old fields, meadows, traditional woodlots, etc. Kerr-Wilson stressed they are about “creating connections.” “How do you do it? Industrial planting on large parcels of land and we’ve been involved in projects like this,” he stated. “In fact, one of the projects we’re working on now involves this. Usually the funding comes from organizations like Trees Ontario and that kind of thing.” “A lot of the projects also involve volunteer groups, often youth and kids...and they’re a lot of fun and are smaller projects, so they take on both types and we’ve been involved in both,” Kerr-Wilson added. He said the council is not here to seek funds for tree planting, but to help with planning the process to create the strategy. He didn’t attach a dollar amount to the request during the presentation. Once it’s in place, it would allow the council to roll out projects more effectively, use resources efficiently and give them a blueprint on how to proceed.

“What we’re asking is the capacity and the funding to do that – to plan this in advance and do it right,” he stated. These projects can be a “complicated process,” Kerr-Wilson admitted and noted that many occur on private land “and will not go anywhere without the will and cooperation of the landowner.” “That’s what we’re about,” he continued. “We were originally conceived as private land stewardship and we’ve been working on that for 20 years and our families go back a long way...we always see private landowners, not as an obstacle to stewardship, but in fact the best asset to have.” They don’t happen overnight either. One project to link three properties could involve three different projects and span out over five or six years. “Think of the whole of Lanark County and all of the different areas where linkages are being recommended, you start to see the scale of the undertaking,” KerrWilson said. “It’s a huge job.” Next steps to develop a plan include talking with municipal planners and conservation authorities on where they believe linkages should occur and where the priorities are and work with landowners to develop site plans. “After we’ve spoken to the land-

owners, we set some priorities and categorize the project,” Kerr-Wilson commented. “Where do we need to start first? Some of these projects are small, volunteer-driven and others are large...some of the small projects can be bundled together to make them more efficient.” Then, the council will develop an effective strategy and plan out all of the projects in advance, after which each will be monitored and assessed during implementation. It is the group’s hope that by being proactive, they can encourage “various community groups to lead specific projects.” “Once we have these projects, we’re not necessarily, as the council, going to be the lead on all them, but we can deliver to a school, to a community group, a project that’s ready to go and in their area and they can take the lead with our assistance so we can spread this out over the various groups,” Kerr-Wilson said. He believes the strategy will build on community strengths and enhance natural heritage for future generations. “It’s called bridging the gap – the gap between planning and planting, something on the map and something on the ground,” he said. “It’s bridging the gaps between people

in the community, the strength and commitment to stewardship in the community.” Coun. Brian Campbell questioned the initiative from a property owner’s perspective and wetland issue. “No one wants their land designated provincially significant wetland, so what you’re doing, in a sense, is creating that gap and eventually those three property owners may very well have their land designated because of proximity to wetland,” he said. “It just puts, I guess, too many rules and regulations and no property owner wants that.” Kerr-Wilson said that if landowners have concerns, they don’t have to participate. “It’s a strictly volunteer program,” he pointed out. Another question came from Coun. Klaas Van Der Meer, who wondered if the future landowner is committed to this project should the present property owner sell the land. “No, this isn’t a lean on the property,” answered Kerr-Wilson. “Depending on the project, they’re under no obligation to maintain it afterward...we’d like them to keep it, but they’re under no obligation.” It’s anticipated Lanark County council will consider the funding request from the LCSC during its 2017 budget deliberations this fall.

United Way celebration breakfast at Algonquin College in Perth Oct. 27 On Thursday, Oct. 27, join in a celebration breakfast at Algonquin College Perth Campus as they celebrate the work of United Way Lanark County. This breakfast event is open to the public and runs from 7 to 10 a.m. in the cafeteria of the College Campus, located at 7 Craig Street in Perth. A longtime supporter of the United Way Lanark County (UWLC), many of Algonquin’s students and graduates in the social service worker and personal support worker programs work at agencies supported by the United Ways in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville and Ottawa. “This is an opportunity to highlight the work of UWLC’s partners in the community, where Algonquin students gain practical experience, as

well as employment”, noted UWLC board chair Helen McIntosh. “At the breakfast, you will learn about the work of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County, Lanark County Community Justice Program and YAK Youth Centre, and be able to meet staff and volunteers,” continued McIntosh, “and it is an excellent opportunity to volunteer yourself!” There will be a full special breakfast for $5 from the D’Dawg Café, and a number of other activities during the morning, including a Tour for a Toonie of the Campus by student ambassadors. All proceeds will go the UWLC annual fall campaign to raise funds for the community. “Algonquin has a long tradition of supporting our local United Way, and this is an

Providing home child care – working with a licensed agency Home childcare providers get the opportunity to experience the joy of providing children with a safe and nurturing environment to grow and learn in. Providers who choose to contract with a licensed agency, such as Children’s Resources on Wheels (CROW) will receive ongoing support from a home visitor who will be able to answer any questions, share ideas, and assist with parent communication. Providers will also receive support in the planning and delivery of their programming, including healthy and balanced menu planning and activity ideas. CROW will also offer access to training, networking, and professional development opportunities to ensure that providers have up to date knowledge and continue to grow

as professionals. Networking often includes helping providers make connections with other providers in the agency, with the goal of expanding on professional knowledge, and fostering a sense of community with like-minded people. Contracting with a licensed home child care agency, such as CROW, will also help to establish trust with parents as it gives them an assurance that the provider will be able to adequately meet the health, safety and developmental needs of their children. Financially, providers can benefit from contracting with an agency because they will have access to supplemental income through government grants, and save money through the loan of equipment such as playpens or strollers. CROW also takes care of the

When comparing to unlicensed providers, the increase in children permitted to be cared for increases from five to six, thus the potential for increasing total income. Lastly, providers are able to claim business expenses on their income tax including any expenses related to the use of their home. Contact CROW at 613-283-0095 ext. 306 or by email at hccinfo@crowlanark. com to enquire about becoming a home child care provider or working with a licensed agency.

CP Holiday Train returns to Merrickville, Smiths Falls and Perth Nov. 27 and County Road 2 (south side of crossing near Bay Street) in Merrickville on Nov. 27 at 4:45 p.m. with the event taking place from 5 to 5:30 p.m. Then, they roll on to the Smiths Falls train station (63 Victoria Street) later that evening for a 6:30 to 7 p.m. show. They finish the evening off at the railway crossing on the south side of Wilson Street in Perth from 8 to 8:30 p.m. The crowds at all three events will be entertained by Dallas Smith and Odds. Again this year, the Holiday Train program is encouraging people attending events to bring heart healthy donations. Heart health education and awareness is a tenet of CP’s community investment program, CP Has Heart, which focuses on improving the heart health of men, women and children in communities across North America. “We are very excited about this year’s CP Holiday Train and are encouraging all event attendees to bring healthy, nutritious food items to the shows,” said Pam Jolliffe, interim executive director, Food Banks Canada. “For the last two decades, CP has played an integral role in raising essential food for the holidays and in raising awareness of hunger-related issues.” Each year, fans of the Holiday Train follow its journey over social media, posting spectacular images of the trains in various cities and landscapes. Those who capture the spirit of the train, holiday entertainment and the spirit of giving are encouraged to enter the “Capture the Spirit” photo contest for the chance to win an exclusive ride on next year’s train. This year, those that enter the contest will help track the train in a customized #CPHolidayTrain map. Further details about the contest will be available closer to the start of the program on the Holiday Train Facebook page. To help make this year the best yet for local food banks, the Holiday Train asks fans new and old to follow the train on social media, invite their friends and family and spread the message about the importance of heart-healthy donations by using #HealthyDonations.

Each Holiday Train is about 1,000 feet in length with 14 rail cars decorated with hundreds of thousands of technology-leading LED lights and a modified boxcar that has been turned into a traveling stage for performers.

The Canadian Pacific (CP) Holiday Train is back for its 18th year in an effort to raise money, food and awareness for local food banks and food shelves. The schedule of stops was announced Oct. 12 and includes Merrickville, Smiths Falls and Perth on Nov. 27. Since its launch in 1999, the program has raised more than $12 million and 3.9 million pounds of food for communities along CP’s routes in Canada and the northern U.S. As in years past, two trains will operate coastto-coast under the Holiday Train banner, with approximately 150 shows held in November and December. The train that operates primarily through the US will launch in the Montreal area on Nov. 25, while the allCanada train’s first shows will come a day later, also in Montreal. The US train will complete its final shows in Saskatchewan on Dec. 15, and the final show of the tour will take place Dec. 17 at Port Coquitlam, BC. “For nearly 20 years, CP has watched communities turn out to enjoy a wonderful event while taking a stand against hunger,” said E. Hunter Harrison, CP’s chief executive officer. “We are proud of the role the Holiday Train plays, but more importantly, we’re proud of the people and families that come out year after year to help their neighbours. They’re the reason we keep bringing the train back.” Every pound of food and dollar raised at each stop stays with the local food bank to help feed those in need in that community. The Holiday Train is proudly sporting an allCanadian musical line up with multiple Canadian Country Music Award and Juno Award winners. The Canadian train will feature musical guests Dallas Smith and Odds. On board the US train, Kelly Prescott will partner with Doc Walker between Montreal and Windsor, Ont., with Colin James covering the Midwest and Great Plains shows. Jonathan Roy will also perform at all Quebec locations. A full schedule of Holiday Train stops is available at www.cpr.ca/holidaytrain. Locally, the train will stop at 103 East Broadway

COMMENTARY

A sad state of affairs

t would be easy to pile on the provincial government for the manner in which it is handling the Hydro One file, and the day will come when the electorate will get a chance to have its say on the subject. Based on recent Ontario elections, though, there’s no guarantee that the frustration and anger that appears to be widespread today will translate into the defeat of the unpopular ruling party tomorrow. The horror stories that have been flooding the Hydro One Enough is Enough page on Facebook are disheartening, to say the least. It’s likely that Ontario Hydro would have also taken significant hits had social media been around back in the day, but that does not change what could be mismanagement at Hydro One (based on the belief that most of the stories being told by disgruntled customers can be substanti-

ated) and resulting backlash that continues to grow. Most Ontarians are willing to pay a reasonable amount for the products and services they need. With rising electricity rates and no relief in sight, we understand the resentment and feelings of hopelessness that are being experienced throughout the province. It’s so frustrating when it appears that the utility and the government are unable or unwilling to address public sentiment in a meaningful way. To what extent the problem can be remedied without significant and further economic damage to Ontario remains to be seen, but we understand why so many Ontarians are demanding change and speaking out about it. It’s a very sad situation given how this province once flourished and the role that a progressive energy policy played in that success.

Hibernian Society would be grateful for Mary and Richard’s efforts Mother liked to take a trip into Ottawa to visit our Lyon Street relatives before fall changed to winter. It was always on a Saturday, since it was a long trip to make in the old Model T and we’d stay overnight. I was thrilled, because 129 Lyon St. was always a hive of activity. Aunt Vanetta and Uncle Johnny, their daughter Lil and Uncle Dick, and of course, my cousin Richard, all lived in the tenement house, and goodness knows how many families on the floors above. I knew all of Northcote could fit into that old red brick house. It was a bright and warm fall day when we wheeled into the cinder yard that separated 129 Lyon St. from the fire station next door. As always, Mother came with the car loaded with potatoes, a couple plump chickens and a basket of crab apples.

My cousin Richard was as excited as I was when we climbed out of the car and he whispered in my ear that he had a great idea how we could spend the afternoon. We went right into the parlour, dark and dank with big pieces of deep red, velvet furniture and an old upright piano crowed into the small room. Richard showed me a stack of papers and a sign propped against the big velvet sofa. I could only read the first words, being in Primer book and all at the Northcote School, but Richard who was very familiar with the sign, read in whispers, running his finger along the words. “Help support the Hibernian Society.” And there was a picture of Aunt Vanetta’s church underneath the printing. Richard grabbed a handful of the papers and the sign,

took hold of my hand and led me out onto the street. I had no idea what we were doing, but I figured it had something to do with Aunt Vanetta’s church, so it must be all right. “Here, you carry the papers,” Richard said. “I’ll carry the sign.” He produced a blue and white granite cup, one like Uncle Johnny drank his tea from and with the sign close to his chest, we started walking down Lyon Street. Every time we met someone, Richard, all of seven-yearsold, put on the saddest face I had ever seen and said, “Please

Give thanks for Canada's nature DEAR EDITOR:

As the days get shorter and the leaves change colour, autumn is the perfect time to reflect on all that we have to be thankful for, such as friends, family, and the way nature enriches our lives. As the nation’s leading, not-for-profit, private land conservation organization, the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) is grateful for the support received from individuals and groups across the country to protect habitats and wildlife, including species at risk.

We do this by making conservation plans for different sections of every province, identifying the specific lands that need to be conserved and then raising the money needed to acquire the land. We are grateful for the support of the Government of Canada through the Natural Areas Conservation Program, which has helped NCC accelerate the pace of private land conservation. This program has led to over 1 million acres (418,000 hectares) of habitat conserved for 181 species at risk across the country.

This is the sixth straight year NCC earned an ‘A’ grade from MoneySense, finishing ahead of all other nature conservation and environmental organizations.

Nothing will warm the cockles of your heart on a cold winter’s day like a hot bowl of homemade soup! And now, it’s easier than ever to capture that special flavour only the best of ingredients can produce. Just ask Jean and Jim Dales of Cornwall who have created, after many tries, all the ingredients needed to put together a soup of top, nutritious and healthy ingredients to satisfy even the pickiest of eaters. Jim Dales admits his wife Jean is the cook. He is the one who helps put everything together and does the packaging. All of the soups are made from scratch, and come to the consumer in dried form, with clear printed descriptions on every package, not only listing the ingredients, but giving step-by-step instructions on what has to be done to create the most delicious soups you can put on the table. The first soup the Dales put together was a pea soup, which has remained one of the most popular, although beef soup is very much in demand. With any of the

STEO marks School Bus Safety Week Oct. 17 to 21 Student Transportation of Eastern Ontario (STEO), the transportation consortium for the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) and the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB), is joining other transportation consortia and school transportation companies across Ontario, in promoting the importance of school bus safety during School Bus Safety Week. In Ontario, more than 800,000 children and teenagers ride safely, in over 18,000 school buses, each day. Studies show that school buses are the safest method for transporting young people â&#x20AC;&#x201C; up to 22 times safer than passenger cars. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ensuring the safety of students as they enter and exit the bus is crucial,â&#x20AC;? said STEO general manager and chief administrative officer Ron Cotnam. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are continuously training our bus drivers to be cautious while on and off-boarding students, but we also need support from motorists in the community to make sure they stop for school buses as they load and unload children. No issue is so urgent that motorists cannot wait for a school bus.â&#x20AC;? The law requires motorists to stop for a school bus any time it has stopped to load or unload. In Ontario, buses display red flashing lights and a stop sign is extended from the side of the bus, to alert motorists to stop. Motorists can also take steps to support safe driving around buses, in-

cluding avoiding distracted driving and scheduling for morning traffic delays. Cotnam offers the following tips to students as they get on and off the bus: â&#x20AC;˘ Always remain in direct view of the bus driver; â&#x20AC;˘ Always cross in front of the bus, but only when the bus driver signals that it is safe to do so; â&#x20AC;˘ Always follow the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s directions for how to cross the street; â&#x20AC;˘ Take ten giant steps back from the curb while waiting for the bus and ten steps away when exiting the bus; â&#x20AC;˘ Be alert to traffic and look both ways; â&#x20AC;˘ Never try to get anything left on the bus after exiting; â&#x20AC;˘ Never reach underneath the bus; â&#x20AC;˘ Get to the bus stop in plenty of time to avoid having to rush to catch the bus. Bus operators throughout the region will be conducting contests and promotions in conjunction with local schools in support of School Bus Safety Week. Police departments throughout the region will also be diligent in ensuring drivers are following all rules and laws pertaining to bus safety. To obtain additional information about school bus safety and events being conducted during School Bus Safety Week, parents and students can access STEOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at www.steo.ca.

Immunize Canada: Lower your flu risk, get immunized For most of us, influenza will cause a few days of fever, cough and generally feeling unwell. But for some, this highly contagious respiratory disease can lead to severe complications requiring hospitalization or even death. “Many Canadians don’t know that healthy children under the age of five and seniors over 65, people with chronic illnesses such as

asthma, diabetes or heart disease, pregnant women, Aboriginal people, people who are obese, and residents of nursing homes and other health care facilities are vulnerable groups that need protection from influenza,” explains Dr. Shelly McNeil, chair of Immunize Canada. “This makes influenza prevention by healthy individuals who can pass it on to those at high risk

for severe complications a necessity,” says Dr. Le Saux, vice-chair of Immunize Canada. “Healthy individuals can shed the influenza virus and transmit it before they experience any symptoms. That’s why it is so important to get vaccinated against influenza every year.” This fall, the National Advisory Committee on Immunization

(NACI) recommends that all Canadians six months of age and older and people at high risk receive the seasonal influenza vaccine. The seasonal influenza vaccine is safe and prevents the spread of influenza. The best time to get vaccinated is from October through to December, but it is never too late. Talk to your doctor, nurse,

pharmacist or public health office about getting vaccinated with this year’s influenza vaccine. Track your influenza vaccination using the free ImmunizeCA app available for secure, free download at the App Store and Google Play. All can be accessed online at immunize.ca/app. Submitted by Immunize Canada

SMITHS FALLS KIA

Fall colour driving trip to upstate New York ticked all the boxes We were just south of Saint Regis Falls when we saw them: The first really intense fall colours of the season. The brilliant hardwood bush along New York State Route 458 loomed suddenly. The impact was so intense that I was among several drivers who immediately pulled over, parked and reached for a camera. The Adirondack Park in Upstate New York is one of the most picturesque areas on the continent. More than six million acres of largely unspoiled country with the multiple peaks of the Adirondack Mountain range as the backdrop. We were on our way to Lake Placid on the first leg of an eight-day fall colour driving tour in NY State and Vermont. As soon as we reached the foothills of the Adirondacks we knew we’d picked the right time. Kathleen and I can’t recall seeing fall colours as spectacular as these. According to the locals this year’s display is the best in at least a decade. We were joined by thousands of other “leaf peepers” who enjoyed the same experience. It made for a hectic time in the always busy resort community. We travelled, knowing the Olympic village would be jammed. But we went with the flow and enjoyed the getaway immensely. We are regulars in Lake Placid and sometimes people ask why we return so often. My answer is that it is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places, not only in North America but in the world. Another reason is the welcome we receive there. From hotel and restaurant staff to shop owners and local residents, the red carpet is out for Canadians in Lake Placid, northern NY State and the entire northeastern USA. There are exceptions of course and we encountered one such individual on this trip. But believe me, negativity toward Canadians is rare. Little wonder when you consider how much money Canadians spend in a place like Lake Placid. Untold millions annually. That’s especially true relative to the year-round hockey camps and tournaments staged at the impressive

Olympic Center on Main Street. There’s a good reason the program is called “Can-Am Hockey.” All you have to do is count the licence plates and the Canadian flags flying outside stores, hotels and restaurants and you immediately know how much Lake Placid depends on cross border traffic. Friendly merchant Less than an hour after encountering an obviously hostile clerk in one store, I decided to purchase a muffin. At the local bakery I heard exactly what I expect to hear when we are in the Adirondacks. After exchanging pleasantries and talking about the weather (it was “fall fabulous”) our conversation turned to the intriguing US presidential election campaign. She wanted “a Canadian’s opinion.” I’m not shy but in this case I was hesitant to offer mine. “Let’s just say this is one time I’m really glad not to be an American.” She smiled and shook her head knowingly. As we bid the lady goodbye she said, “Thanks for coming to Lake Placid. Hope to see you again soon!” She made my day and I’m sure staff at the local chamber of commerce will be pleased to read this. Phase 2 of our journey took us to Vermont and the equally busy town of Stowe. As we boarded the car ferry at Plattsburgh for the short (15-minute) run to Grand Isle, Vermont we immediately noticed something was different. As we crossed beautiful Lake Champlain it was obvious the fall colours on the eastern shore weren’t as vibrant as those in the Adirondacks. The same scene played itself out as we followed a now familiar route to Stowe. Nestled in the beautiful Green Mountains Stowe, like its NY State counterpart Lake Placid is a winter playground that has successfully spun itself into a year-round destination. The historic inn we visit doesn’t offer the views of our regular hotel in Lake Placid. Few communities are as geographically blessed as Lake Placid with two fabulous lakes

Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE

surrounded by idyllic mountains. Our Vermont hostelry is well situated on a main street that’s managed to retain a small town look and feel, something few resort communities can boast. To us part of Stowe’s charm lies in the fact it has so far re-

sisted the temptation of the usual fast food chains that are the hallmark of most places these days. There are no golden arches visible from Mount Mansfield! This year the areas of Vermont we toured offered fall colours that were mute compared

to the mountains of northern New York. In fairness it was cloudy and threatening much of the time which didn’t enhance the experience. As Kathy says, “The (leaf) colours really pop when See MAGUIRE page 14

so popular. It was a sunny, unseasonably warm day and there are no words available to describe how incredibly beautiful the forests surrounding Lake Placid were that afternoon. The blaze of colour meant photo opportunities were endless! The boat tour was the highlight of

a fall colour trip that ticked all the boxes. The guide also offered some information on an intriguing mystery related to Lake Placid. It’s a story I will focus on in a future column. If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers.com.

Almonte in Praise back by popular demand Oct. 29 Back by popular demand is Almonte in Praise! So mark your calendars for 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 29 and get ready for a delightful evening of music. This year’s event will be held at Holy Name of Mary Parish, 134 Bridge St. Almonte. Come and hear the individual and massed choirs from the combined churches of Almonte in the ambiance of this restored 1869 church featuring 19th century architecture. There is no admission, but any donations to cover the cost of music would be gratefully accepted. This unique and uplifting ecumenical celebration of music and Christian fellowship was initiated in 2014 by Doretha L. Murphy as the final celebration of St. Paul’s Anglican Church’s 150th anniversary. This year’s organizers, Cathy Giles,

organist and choir director of Holy Name of Mary Parish, Ian Douglas, director of the Folk Choir at Almonte United, and Murphy, envision this celebration continuing as an annual event, which would eventually include area instrumentalists participating. The Almonte churches will join in a mass choir conducted by Murphy, and in addition, each area choir and praise team has been invited to present musical works. There’s something for everyone, so come out and enjoy! Make sure to arrive early, to assure getting a seat. If your church’s music director has not yet told you about this, then please call for details so you can participate: Doretha L. Murphy at 613-565-3993 or pierre.lamoine@ sympatico.ca.

When we see a physician, regardless of the symptoms we are experiencing, the process is the same: they listen to our symptoms, do a physical examination, sometimes perform investigations (like bloodwork), come up with a diagnosis, and make treatment recommendations. Sometimes this process is easy to understand, like going to the ER with crushing chest pain, the doctor listens to our chest, gets some bloodwork and an ECG, determines that we’ve had a small heart attack, then recommends medication, quitting smoking, follow up, etc. Psychiatric diagnoses are similarly made, but often less clear-cut. For example if one reports chronic anxiety that leads to occasional panic attacks, then the physical exam includes observation (shaky hands? Sweating?), maybe an ECG (to ensure there has not been a heart attack), maybe bloodwork (thyroid problems can cause anxiety). The diagnosis may be generalized anxiety, panic disorder, or something different. How do we come to a psychiatric diagnosis? Ultimately, it’s a bunch of ticked boxes. First, there has to be significant distress or interfering with functioning (eg. If I’m sad, but I’m coping well, I’m probably not “depressed”), and the symptoms must endure for a fairly long time (so if I’m totally despondent and dysfunctional, but only for a few days, that’s not “depression” either). Second, there have to be a number of particular symptoms associated with the main complaint. So if my anxiety leads to marked irritability and

difficulty making decisions and sleep disturbance, maybe this is generalized anxiety. How we determine which specific symptoms go with which specific disorder I’ll come right back to. Third, medical causes for the symptoms must be ruled out (like thyroid problems, for example), which includes other psychiatric causes (so if I only get panic attacks in public, maybe it’s social anxiety, not panic, disorder). Sometimes there are laboratory tests that match the diagnostic labels, but usually not, as we humans have amazingly complex and variable brains. Fourth, the symptoms must be markedly different from what would be normal for that person (given their culture, age, etc.) How do we know which symptoms go with which diagnosis and how long is “fairly long?” Here we use our “diagnostic bible,” the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders, or DSM-5, the standard for most of the world in understanding mental disorders. This is an accumulation of decades of research into which symptoms cluster together, which symptoms cause the most problems, how long symptoms last in normal day-to-day life, how many symptoms must occur at the same time to cause dysfunction, which symptoms may be caused by other medical problems or medications. Researchers generally conclude that if a symptom is experienced by less than 2.5 per cent of the population at any moment in time, it’s probably abnormal. Then the diagnostic label, clustered symptoms, time frames, etc. are discussed by focus groups of physicians, psychologists, pa-

tients and their families, etc. to see if it makes sense. If it seems to, it is tested in the community to see if the diagnosis provides a consistent way to meaningfully understand distressed patients. And that’s what’s really important. A diagnosis is useful only if it: • Allows treatment providers to quickly and meaningfully communicate what is the person’s main area of distress, • Allows treatment providers to understand what treatments should be useful (treatment is similar, but importantly different, between Panic, and Social Anxiety Disorders), and • Allows us to be able to clearly rule out “Normal” experiences, so as not to, for example, call grief a mental illness. What’s worth noting is, it’s not usually that useful to patients. I don’t care if my psychiatrist says I have a “major depressive,” or a “persistent depressive,” disorder. What matters to me is, I feel sad, can’t sleep, can’t work well, and need help. The diagnosis helps me by helping my psychiatrist know what medications should be most useful, and how long to use them; my therapist to know what therapies should help the most; my employer to understand what work accommodations might be appropriate; and so forth. So really, what does a psychiatric diagnosis mean? It means someone is able to understand the distress in such a way that they can communicate with a range of people, guide treatment, predict responses, and ultimately the patient can recover.

Bless impoverished children with Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts The Canada-wide 2016 Operation Christmas Child shoebox collection season – an annual initiative of Samaritan’s Purse Canada for 23 years – started Oct. 11. It’s when thousands of individuals, families, churches, businesses, sports teams, and community groups begin packing shoeboxes with toys, school supplies, and hygiene items, plus personal notes and photos. Thanks to $7 donations from generous Operation Christmas Child supporters, Samaritan’s Purse is able to deliver the gift-

Connected to Your Community A/CP/K/P/SF - 20 - Thursday, October 20, 2016

filled shoeboxes to children around the world living in the midst of poverty, disease, war, and natural disaster. Last year, Canadians filled more than 730,000 shoeboxes with gifts that shared God’s love and hope with children in the developing world. And since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has collected and distributed more than 135 million shoebox gifts around the globe. “I’ve just returned from seeing our work in West Africa,” said Randy Crosson, director of Operation Christmas Child.

“Seeing the joy and hope in the eyes of these children and their families is simply miraculous. Please join us and be part of bringing God’s love and hope to many more.” Shoeboxes are given as unconditional gifts regardless of the child’s race, religion or gender. When given, they often open doors for Samaritan’s Purse to work with local community leaders in identifying and addressing other needs, such as clean water, literacy and vocational training for women, school meals for children, etc.

Fall pet portrait day Oct. 23 at Perth Pet Valu to support LAWS It’s Fall Pet Portrait day at Perth Pet Valu on Sunday, Oct. 23 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Margaret Link, a professional photographer, will take your pet’s picture. Come out and have some fun! It’s a great gift for any occasion but with Christmas around the corner it might be a nice gift to think about. Part of the proceeds will go to LAWS. The pictures this week of our cats Charlie and Chloe are two of the pictures taken by Margaret last week.

This week’s featured pets Charlie and Chloe Charlie (aka Softy) and Chloe (aka MinMin) two lovely tabby siblings of about five-months-old. They have been available for adoption in Carleton Place at the Natural PetFood Store on Bridge Street for a while now, got many admirers but no takers. The staff at the store chose new names for them. They’re both very affectionate and are hoping a forever home comes along soon.

This Week’s Pets

Please meet almost three-monthold Skyler. He arrived with his three sisters and is a happy, very cute little grey/white kitten full of energy. Skyler welcomes attention, warmth and lots of cuddles. He’s available at LAWS. May Please meet May in Perth at Pet Valu. She’s loving it! She gets to roam the store, meet the customers and plays with the store cat. May is very affectionate when she wants to be and likely has some Bengal in her with some Bengal attitude. She would be a great addition to any family. Thank you for your continued support. Follow us if you like on

Facebook at www.facebook.com/lanarkanimals, visit us online at www. lanarkanimals.ca or if you have any questions or concerns, please contact the shelter at shelter@lanarkanimals.ca or by calling 613-283-9308. LAWS is located at 253 Glenview Road in Smiths Falls.

Buster please meet this handsome very affectionate absolutely adorable male semi-long hair cat. We can’t believe Buster was a stray cat. He’s so affectionate and very eager to get his freedom back. Buster needs a little guidance to learn that our hands are not toys. Overall it’s best for any cat to be have playtime with toys and not hands. In their excitement they might hold on to you a little more tighter then you like them to and cat teeth can be sharp. After he was neutered the vet assistant mentioned she’d seldom seen such an amazing boy and would love to trade him for one of her own… that tells it all. Please meet this about two-year-old boy at LAWS, he’s worth the trip! Skyler

Classic Theatre Festival receives four prestigious awards nominations The Classic Theatre Festival, the Ottawa Valley’s only professional theatre company, last week garnered four nominations in the prestigious Capital Critics Circle Awards, which annually recognize outstanding artistic achievement in the National Capital Region. The awards ceremony takes place in Ottawa on Nov. 14. William Vickers received a Best Actor nomination for the role of Herb in the festival’s 2016 production of Neil Simon’s comedy I Ought to Be in Pictures (in which he co-starred with Alison Smyth, who was nominated for a similar honour the previous summer for her role in the thriller Wait Until Dark). In addition, the festival received three nominations for George Bernard Shaw’s comedy Arms and the Man: Best Director (Laurel Smith), Best Actress (Lana Sugarman, who played the role of Raina), and Best Production. Arms and the Man also featured a collection of veteran Classic Theatre performers including Catherine Bruce, Scott

Clarkson, Rachel Fischer, Alan Lee, Alastair Love, and Lindsay Robinson. The production team included costume designer Renate Seiler and lighting designer Wesley McKenzie, with stage manager Alison Muir and assistant stage manager Emily Richardson. “We had a terrific summer with our expanded seventh season of three shows,” says the festival’s artistic producer Laurel Smith. “We were able to draw thousands of tourists to town who enjoyed the accessibility and flexibility of our staging shows in June, July, August and September, with the consequent economic benefits that flow to local restaurants, accommodations, shops, and other attractions.” The Capital Critics Circle is a distinguished panel of some of Canada’s top veteran theatre reviews, including the prolific reviewer, playwright and journalist Iris Winston, Alvina Ruprecht (veteran theatre reviewer including CBC Radio), Jamie Portman (a long-time writer

with the CanWest chain of newspapers), radio station CKCU’s arts reporter Barbara Gray, and the Ottawa Citizen’s Patrick Langston. “Since we began, we have dedicated ourselves to bringing the top professional talent in Canada to Perth every summer, and audiences and critics agree that it is a very successful venture,” says Smith. “The golden age of Broadway and the London Stage produced so many plays that continue to appeal to a wide range of audiences, and we plan to continue producing those shows that still speak to

us, inspire laughter, and provoke stimulating discussions.” The festival is currently running its annual holiday sale, with savings of up to 25 per cent on 2017’s shows, with the option to pick dates later. The festival’s mainstage shows next year, in keeping with the Canada and Ontario 150 celebrations, will feature a majority of Canadian playwrights who made it big on Broadway and beyond: Bernard Slade, who penned the beloved comedy Same Time, Next Year (which ran over three years on Broadway) and Peter Colley, whose thriller I’ll

Be Back before Midnight is considered the most successful play ever staged in Canada, with performances in more than 30 countries abroad. The season also features George Bernard Shaw’s romantic comedy Candida, which pokes fun at Victo-

rian notions of marriage and romantic triangles. Vouchers for the 2017 season can be purchased with savings of up to 25 per cent before Dec. 31 at www.classictheatre.ca or 1-877-283-1283. Submitted by the Classic Theatre Festival

More than counting numbers in Ben Affleck’s latest thriller MOVIE: The Accountant STARRING: Ben Affleck, Anna Kendrick, J.K. Simmons, Jon Bernthal, and Cynthia Addai-Robinson DIRECTOR: Gavin O’Connor RATING: 14A The Accountant is a complex film with a number of moving parts, and it isn’t until the very end that you see how it all fits together. Christian Wolf is a high functioning autistic. His autism means he has an incredible ability to focus, has great difficulty in letting tasks go uncompleted, and also has great difficulty making connections with other people. Christian is also a mathematical savant whose ability with numbers borders on the supernatural. Christian has used his skills to work for various criminal organizations around the world. If someone suspects a problem with their books Christian is who they call. Occasionally Christian takes legitimate jobs to keep up appearances. On one such job he meets Dana Cummings (Anna Kendrick) an accountant who finds a discrepancy in her company’s records. It only takes him one night to go through 15 years of accounting records. Christian

My Take

MARK HASKINS

finds the money, but then people start dying. Men come after him, and we see just how dangerous Christian is. Instead of disappearing Christian decides to save Dana as well. Now the only way to keep her safe is to go after the people after them. In a film with so many moving parts it’s difficult to do it justice with a brief summary. One of those moving parts involve J.K. Simmons and Cynthia Addai-Robinson who are brilliant as Ray King and Marybeth Medina, two Treasury agents tracking Christian. Kendrick’s character adds that sense of urgency and panic, and beautifully connects with Christian. Jon Bernthal as Brax is one of the more important of the moving pieces. As the security specialist working against Christian, his performance is surprising to say the least. It’s a challenge to tell a story about a character who essentially has no emotional responses, and make them empathetic. So throughout the film

we are given intimate details and insights into Christian’s life. We see him as a child at the mercy of his autism, and we see the harsh and sometimes brutal ways in which his military father teaches him to cope. We see him in prison taken under the wing of Francis Silverberg (Jeffrey Tambor) a mob bookkeeper. We also witness what happens when someone breaks Christian’s moral code. You gain an understanding of Christian that most films of this nature wouldn’t have time for. Much of the credit has to go to Ben Affleck’s performance. To play someone like Christian there’s the danger of looking like an emotional robot. It would be easy to get lost in the condition and lose sight of the person. Affleck gives a sensitive and skillfully subtle performance that shows us the mathematical genius, the autistic who struggles with human interaction, and the son trying to do right. I’ll admit the ending defies statistical probability, but I didn’t care because it is the right ending. In the end The Accountant is an intensely fascinating experience.

CFUW Perth & District celebrates 11th Christmas house tour fundraiser Ah, the joy of discovery! The old adage, “never judge a book by its cover,” can apply to homes as well as literature. Sometimes homes on our Heritage Perth & District Christmas House Tour guard their secrets behind seemingly modest exteriors. This is certainly true of one of the oldest and most historically important homes being featured on this year’s tour, being held the weekend of Dec. 3 and 4 from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. each day. Similarly, never assume that lovely and artfully decorated homes don’t interest men as much as women, because that hasn’t been our experience. With this year’s focus on the 200th anniversary of the Perth Military Settlement, there are many surprises in store for all on this special weekend, in addition to our ever-popular house tour. The Town of Perth will be in full splendour, offering many added attractions to round out a memorable pre-Christmas weekend. Keep an eye on the Canadian Federation of University Women, Perth & District website at: www.cfuw-perth-district. com/HouseTour and/or like us on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/ heritageperthchristmashousetour for more details about the upcoming tour. House tour tickets are once again priced at $30 each and will be available at these various locations throughout the area starting at the end of October: • Perth: Perth Home Furniture, 18 Gore St. E., 613-264-9876 • Smiths Falls: Elizabeth Interiors, 8 Chambers St., 613-283-7581 • Kingston: Oderin Kitchen Supplies, 57 Brock St., 613-531-4544 • Merrickville: Windsor’s Courtyard, 211 St. Lawrence St., 613269-2999 • Ottawa: Tivoli Florist, 282 Richmond Rd., 613-729-6911 • Almonte: Crush Marketplace,

The Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) Perth & District is getting set to host its 11th annual Heritage Perth & District Christmas House Tour on Dec. 3 and 4. Above, this home on Drummond Concession Road 8A in Balderson will be featured on this year’s tour. The CFUW has a number of surprises in store for the event, with a focus on the 200th anniversary of the Perth Military Settlement. Submitted photo

Area snowmobile clubs get some good news on Bill 100 at AGM The 49th Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) took place at the end of September in Mississauga and members found out that there may be some light at the end of the tunnel concerning trail closures due to Bill 100. Over the summer, Bill 100 was entered into the books as the law of the land in Ontario. Presentations were made to the Ontario government before that happened by the Conservatives, the OFCS and the Ontario Landowners Association (OLA). As a result of these presentations, the Liberal government made changes to the bill to clarify the wording to make sure that landowners’ rights were protected and it was clear that any permission for trail use would be voluntary in nature. At the OFSC AGM, the first speaker was The Honorable Eleanor McMahon, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport. During her presentation, she reviewed the highlights of Bill 100, the advan-

tages it provided both landowners and trail groups, and the important message that landowners rights would not be affected by this bill. The second speaker was Steve Clark, MPP Leeds-Grenville, Deputy Leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party, and Critic for Tourism, Culture and Sport. He reviewed his party’s position on Bill 100 saying that he urged the Liberals to pull the bill off the table for further study but when that did not happen, they made presentations to the Liberals to clarify the wording of the bill so landowners would be clear that this legislation would not put their landowner rights in jeopardy. He was happy to report that as a result of the presentations by his party, the OFSC, and the OLA, the clarification to the wording did happen. The floor was opened to questions and comments and there were members from across the province who stated that most landowners

have reopened their land for snowmobile trails however there were still pockets of resistance, mostly from OLA members and landowners who follow OLA. The OFSC then revealed that there have been talks with OLA representatives on a permission agreement that would be accepted by the OLA. OFSC District 9 staff attended the August meeting of the Saugeen Regional Landowners Association (OLA member) and explored an agreement that could be ratified by OLA and by OFSC. Elizabeth Marshall, research director for the OLA, attended this meeting and was asked for her thoughts on whether or not she would allow a snowmobile trail to cross her land using the current Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs landowner memorandum of understanding (MOU). She said she would, if major concessions were made to that MOU. The changes Marshall said she would need are: a start date and end date, not an agreement in

perpetuity; for the agreement to be non-transferable and non-registerable; change MOU to ‘agreement’; remove the term ‘occupier’ and make it strictly ‘owner’; and make it known that neither the snowmobile club nor the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) is a nominee or agent on the agreement. The OFSC responded favourably at the AGM to these changes since they had their legal team and their insurance broker give the green light to make those changes on the current landowner’s agreement. At this time, Paul Shaughnessy, executive director of the OFSC recommended clubs add these clauses to the existing agreement form to be used with landowners who are still reluctant to let the trails back on their land. The membership was quite relieved to hear that there is significant progress in satisfying the OLA with an agreement that is mutually acceptable with the OFSC.

Fall is arriving and the volunteers will soon be getting trails set up and ready for the coming snowmobile season. The generosity of the landowners is needed to make these trails happen and a good agreement that takes away landowners concerns is a big benefit. The clubs are hopeful that this will clear up the remaining landowners who are reluctant to let them back on their property. There are two OFSC-affiliated snowmobile clubs in Lanark County: Snow Road Snowmobile Club and Beautiful Eastern Association Snowmobile Trails (BEAST), while there are six in Leeds-Grenville: Athens & District Snowmobile Club, Elizabethtown Snowmobile Club, Grenville Snowmobile Association, Kemptville Snowmobile Klub, Rideau Ridge Runners Snowmobile Club and the Leeds & Grenville Snowmobile Association.

“My character is very cold and calculating – she never outwardly shows that she loses her temper, and does her evil in secret: she would never kill anyone out in the open – poison, in secret, is her weapon of choice,” she says. Nadia Taylor-Meyer, as Regan, is playing her first Shakespearean role, although she comes from a family with a long history of theatre in Almonte and has been with the Mudds for a while. “Regan is nothing like Goneril – Regan is very hot blooded. She manipulates everyone, but she especially likes to control men. And although she can seem very loving and sweet, when she’s really enraged, she can do terrible things, even poking someone’s eyes out with her bare hands!” she notes. Newcomer Julia Martin takes the role of Cordelia, the “good” sister. But don’t call her the sweet one! “Cordelia is the good one, yes, but she’s not a pushover,” Martin says. “She refuses to play her father’s silly game in the first act, and at the end of the play, she stands up to the villain and shows no fear in the face of death. Her strength is that she still sees, in the old king, the father that she loves, who she never betrays.” The Mudds Youth Theatre is an initiative of the Mississippi Mudds of Carleton Place that has for the past seven years presented an annual production of a Shakespearean play, with teenage actors, modeled on the productions at the Stratford Festival (in the round, with minimal set, but with professional quality costumes, lighting, sound, and stagecraft) at the end of October: past productions have included Macbeth, Much Ado About Nothing, Hamlet, Othello, Midsummer Night’s Dream, and, most recently, Romeo and Juliet. The Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre production of King Lear runs at the Carleton Place Town Hall theatre, 175 Bridge Street, with evening performances (7:30 p.m.) on Friday, Oct. 21, Saturday, Oct. 22, Friday, Oct. 28, Saturday, Oct. 29, and a matinee performance at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 23. All tickets are priced at $10, and are available at Hallmark, 238 McNeely Ave., or at the door.

Three upper class sisters, children of the richest and most powerful man in the country, are a engaged in a game to one-up each other – with two of them fighting over the same man – in a web of intrigue and false alliances, ending in betrayal and death! It sounds like something out of a saucy romance novel, something by Danielle Steele, perhaps, doesn’t it? But, no, it’s William Shakespeare! And this autumn, the Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre production of William Shakespeare’s King Lear will bring that tale of deadly sibling rivalry to the Carleton Place Town Hall theatre. King Lear is the story of a legendary king of Britain who lived in about 800 BC, formerly a great hero, now growing old and foolish. He decides to retire from the day-to-day duties of being king, and offers to turn parts of his kingdom over to the daughters who say they love him the most. His daughters Goneril and Regan flatter him, and receive their rewards, but his youngest, Cordelia, refuses to pander, and Lear angrily exiles her to France. After they receive their kingdoms, Goneril and Regan betray Lear, and throw him out into the wilderness, where he goes mad. Then the two of them set their sights on the same man – Edmund, the dashing illegitimate son of the Earl of Gloucester, who toys with both of them. Eventually, Cordelia returns to help her father, but they are both captured by Edmund and the forces of Goneril and Regan. Goneril kills Regan with poison, so she can have Edmund all to herself. But unexpectedly, Edmund is killed in a duel, and in a self-pitying rage, Goneril kills herself. King Lear gets released from prison, but there’s no happy ending: Cordelia has been secretly executed and Lear dies of grief. “These three sisters are all so different,” says Claire Campbell, who plays Goneril. Claire already has some experience in Shakespeare, having previously performed in the Mudds Youth production of Midsummer Night’s Dream; she has also performed in the Mudds’ musicals.

Hilarious murder mystery, two first class movies play at Station Theatre Director Katharine Coleman told us she’d found a good one: a comedic mystery with clever lines and great characters. And did she deliver! First-week audiences were blown away by the smooth, well-rehearsed production of Out of Sight...Out of Murder. “Excellent…thoroughly enjoyable…lots of laughter.” “The best play we’ve seen this year.” “Couldn’t be better.” And from a first-time patron at the Station Theatre: “We loved it. We’re already looking forward to Sleeping Beauty.” Written by Fred Carmichael and produced by special arrangement with Samuel French Inc., the play offers all the ingredients for a great night at the theatre. Its highly imaginative premise is supported by wonderful character roles and Coleman has made the most of it, enticing back actors we haven’t seen for a while, among them Jamie Benda, who was last seen at the Station Theatre in Cactus Flower. As the first scene opens, Benda, who nails the part of the mystery writer, Peter Knight, is grinding out a murder story in an old mansion where another author was murdered years before. A weird electrical storm effects a cosmic snafu and his novel characters come to life. Before long, author Peter loses control of his characters and there is a murder; the

The comedic murder mystery, Out of Sight...Out of Murder, is playing Oct. 20-23 at the Station Theatre in Smiths Falls. Above, the full cast of the play during the ‘reading of the will’ scene in rehearsals. Left, Jamie Benda, plays the lead role of mystery writer Peter Knight.

intended victim being Peter himself. Other murders follow and the culprit is among characters who, having also worked for other authors, know a great deal about the subject. In the end, all is solved masterfully with romance, suspense and cosmic wit. Out of Sight...Out of Murder closes this week with four performances: Thursday, Oct. 20 through Saturday, Oct. 22 the curtain goes up 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, Oct. 23’s matinee is at 2 p.m.. Tickets: Adults $20, students $10. Call 613-283-0300 for credit card purchases, or go to our website at www.smithsfalls theatre.com to buy online.

Captain Fantastic movie weekend Oct. 28 and 29 The movie’s title, Captain Fantastic, suggests a comic book flick, but the reality is far different. This is a serious movie which has been described as having thought-provoking themes – and an absorbing star turn by Viggo Mortensen – adding up to “an above-average family drama with unexpected twists.” The story line finds Ben Cash (Mortensen), his wife Leslie and their six children living deep in the wilderness of Washington state. Isolated from society, Ben and Leslie devote their existence to raising their kids – educating them to think critically, training them to be physically fit and athletic, guiding them in the wild without technology and demonstrating the beauty of co-existing with nature. When Leslie dies suddenly, Ben takes his sheltered offspring into the outside world for the first time with fascinating results. The new time for the Movie Weekend is 7 p.m. Tickets on sale for cash only at the door are $10 for adults; $5 for students. Rating: PG. Submitted by the Smiths Falls Community Theatre

The last of the good years: HAUL Wanting more, getting less HOME THE The following is the conclusion of a four-part series, The Last of the Good Years, penned by Ottawa Valley Troubadour Lyle Dillabough, about the thriving Ottawa Valley music scene in the 1960s and 1970s. As the country began to change more rapidly at the beginning of the eighties, guys like Willy Wideman were starting to digress equally as fast. Technological advancement had noticeably affected his industry to the detriment and the speed that would soon do the same to the industries that had employed his working class peers. Disc jockeys and satellite television had severely curtailed demand for bar bands and an increasing social pressure against drinking and driving wasn’t helping either. Just like the word processor, computer and automation would soon wipe out hundreds of thousands of jobs in the manufacturing sector, small towns and small town hotels were beginning to shrink or disappear altogether. Roadhouse diners, small town pubs and specialized establishments catered to a new emerging crowd that drank less and used recreational drugs more. Willy had to get a day job but his heart wasn’t in it. He still tried to get on stage as much and as often as possible and couldn’t help himself but be a real entertainer at work during his day job. Pulling off pranks like spiking the foreman’s drink with Ex-Lax or answering to a client that “drunk” was the best way to get to a neighboring town, just sprang naturally from him.

Tales from the Troubadour LYLE DILLABOUGH

But this wasn’t living, make no mistake about it. In urban Canada, designer clothes, expensive hairstyles, fancy cars and the aggressive accumulation of cash and ‘stuff’ became the obsession of the former hippie movement establishment haters. They even had a new term to describe themselves by: “Yuppies” were now cool, the “in thing” and the way to be. Country singer Don Williams put forth the question beautifully when expressing the sentiment of all country/ rock road warriors by asking, “What are you going to do with good ol’ boys like me?” Everything seemed to be speeding up and was becoming ever more complicated. Everybody wanted to be an authority. Sadder still, local wasn’t good enough anymore. It had to be American or imported from somewhere else because that seemed oh so more exotic. It was now NFL not CFL, Major League, New York City, Dallas, London, Paris, Hollywood and anywhere south. Who the heck would want to go to Winnipeg anyway? Quebecois wanted to separate as the Albertans wanted all easterners to freeze in the dark while down on main street, the stores were closing down. It is probably for the best but the kids today would find it impossible to believe that there was a time when one could be asked by a mem-

DX C I X CROWDFUNDING IS: BD P XSUPPORTING P A B THE GARTSE K

ber of the local small town police force, “Are you drinking and driving again _____?” and the reply would be, “Too drunk to walk officer” and the cop would say, “OK, but go straight home now.” Rules were being tightened up and more and more were being legislated daily. But the question being asked more and more as well was, “Are things really getting better?” Or were we not just becoming ever more enslaved? Everyone demanded more rights but more restrictions seemed to become the order of the day. We were sitting in our living rooms watching movies on our VCRs, satellite TVs or cable packages. Soon we would be stuck behind computer screens, cell phones and iPads. Once in awhile we might even speak to someone faceto-face. Yes, the days of the bar band, bar musician and the rowdy live nightclubs are long gone. Few of those old rooms exist but here and there the odd one still does. So the next time you are somewhere that has one of those holdover establishments from other days, why not stop in? And if you do chances are you will find Willy there. Do yourself a favor and sit down with him for a bit and buy him a beer. Then let him give you a history lesson that is better and more accurate then anything you will find in books or could ever hope to learn in school. “…as the soul of the common man, is fading away.” This series will soon be available in audio format (as read by the author) and will be available on CD and on iTunes.

The business case for a healthy nutrition workplace environment BY MARIE TRAYNOR

Weight loss contests at work It’s not surprising to hear about weight loss contests at work. We see them on TV and weight loss is a popular topic amongst employees. I would offer some words of caution about the focus on individuals and their weight because it can lead to weight bias, stigma and discrimination and can unintentionally lead to mental and physical harm including: poor body image and selfesteem, anxiety, weight and food preoccupation, disordered eating, eating disorders, other psychological disorders and other unhealthy weight control practices. We know that there are other very important ways to measure health such as eating well, being physically active, getting enough sleep, feeling good physically and mentally, respecting our own and others’ feelings of fullness and hunger and knowing our bodies. An alternative that appeals to our competitive edge yet would benefit health would be to challenge people to increase their vegetable and fruit intake or to eat less sodium or sugar. Provide them with the educational opportunities to learn how to make these positive changes. And, keep it going for at least two months to encourage new habits.

October is Canada’s Workplace Health Month, an excellent opportunity to look around the workplace and decide how the nutrition environment can be improved or maintained. Given that most Canadian adults spend at least 60 per cent of their waking hours at work and eat at least one meal during the workday the workplace is an ideal setting to promote healthy eating. Healthy eating makes good business sense because it plays a major role in the overall health and vitality of employees. Investing in employee health is as important as investments in workplace facilities. Both will lead to higher rates of productivity, which is good for the bottom line. General workplace wellness programs have shown a return on investment of $3.27 for every dollar spent. Poor employee health, on the other hand, raises workplace costs related to absenteeism, injury, disability, insurance premiums, prescription drug costs, medical costs, workers’ compensation costs, early retirement and automobile collisions. Workplace costs due to nutrition related chronic health conditions range from as low as a few hundred dollars to as high as $3,000 Food at the workplace to $15,000 per employee per year.

Find the Health Unit on nark District Health Unit is available. In addition to cafeterias, vending machines and our own lunch bags we often find food used as an incentive, as a reward, for celebrations and, at meetings and events. If management is looking for incentives consider items such as lunch bags, cooler bags or backpacks, baskets of fruit, gift cards for local farmers’ markets, gardening tools, books, rain barrels, etc. or reusable grocery bags. Using food as a reward is not recommended. Doing so can encourage eating for reasons other than hunger; can create an association between work tasks and food reward leading to an expectation, and can undermine the health of employees over time. At meetings or events decide if food is really needed and, if so, use the “Sell/Offer Most” food choices in Nutrition Standards for Workplaces available at www.osnpph. on.ca.

Former mayor proposes lobbying government for federal building in Kemptville BY JENNIFER WESTENDORP jwestendorp@metroland.com

A novel idea. Former Kemptville mayor, Ralph Raina, brought forth a proposal to council on Oct. 11. “If I were Gord Brown (MP of Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes), Steve Clark (MPP of Leeds and Grenville), or Mayor David Gordon of North Grenville, I would fight diligently on behalf of North Grenville and the (United) Counties of Leeds and Grenville to have a federal building located within North Grenville,” read Raina. “This federal building could be any department; however, agriculture should be the prime contender. I would bring attention to our governments that, in Gatineau, Quebec, there are five federal headquarters and at least 14 buildings in Ottawa, the Nav Centre in Cornwall, as well as other training facilities in Quebec, such as regional facilities.” These buildings were naturally located where the French language is very prominent and available, he explained. “Now that we have two French schools appearing in North Grenville we would strongly petition to have a federal building here,” he read. “If the government and local

MPs are truly interested in us – all the citizens of North Grenville and area – this proposal should have top priority. The employment that this would create in our area would benefit the municipality and its citizens by greatly cutting traveling time and provide more at-home time for those employees.” To achieve those goals, all political differences would have to be buried, in order to work as a unit for the benefit of all residents, he explained. “It is time we stop sending all our tax dollars to Ottawa and Toronto without receiving any benefits in return.” Raina also suggested in his letter that the potential future federal building be named the G. Howard Ferguson Memorial Building. Ferguson served as Ontario Premier from 1923 to 1930. “I fully realize that the hope of getting a federal building in Kemptville would be a long-range plan,” said Raina. “However, if we want it to happen, we have to plant the seed now, like so many other areas that have received buildings in their ridings. We have to keep the pressure on and show the reasons why a federal building south of Ottawa would be suited to the growth of Ottawa and the natural way is to expand south.”

Raina discussed the idea with many local residents, all of whom were enthusiastic and positive about the idea. “It is up to you now to show true leadership and listen to our wants, regardless of who is in power in Ottawa and Queen’s Park (Toronto). We must all work for the benefit of this area.” The full letter, submitted to the municipality, can be found online at www.northgrenville.ca. “I read the letter and I agree with you totaling,” said Gordon. “I’ll be writing a letter to Gord Brown. I’ll be asking support of Steve Clark on this file. I like the idea about the department of agriculture, so I will CC the minister. I think it’s a fantastic idea. If we don’t try, we’ll never get it.” “I just wanted to piggy-back on what the mayor said,” said Coun. Frank Onasanya. “And also to let you know, and the public as well, what we stand for – as council – is to try the best we can, in accordance with what you put in your letter there, to have the majority of our youngsters grow up leaders and stay in the community. We do think, and I do think personally, that the idea you have put forth will encourage that.” “If we always think positive, there’s always a chance,” said Raina.

551 Hwy #15, South, Lombardy

Sunday Listening Series continues Oct. 30 with Canadian singer-songwriter Matt Epp We have so much to be thankful for…our freedom, healthcare, caring communities and a country who is trying to do a better job in respecting one and all. One could go on and on, especially after just having been reminded through recent Thanksgiving weekend celebrations. Friends and multi-generational family gatherings, strolls and/or drives happen, enjoying the many-coloured palate our outdoors surrounded us with: all reminding us dramatically just how much we have to give thanks for. Musicians from both ends of the age spectrum aided in many enjoying a musical Thanksgiving. The Peter Brown Quintet dug out some sweet jazz tunes as well as some self-penned by the various players. I only mention age because it’s worth noting my being shocked when told one of the steadiest, crafty, drummers of the region, Glenn Robb, so noticeable for his subtle variety keeping the beat, is 83 years young! I knew John Richard was 80+ but never ceases to impress with his 5-string violin virtuosity. If you’d have heard his version of his late wife Faith’s favourite song, Somewhere Over the Rainbow, you’d still be wiping your eyes. Joined by spectacular playing from veteran Don Paterson on flugelhorn and

trumpet, as well as tender vocals, Peter’s gregarious piano and Dave Arthur’s solid bottom end, they filled out a well attended Studio Theatre show with quite a mixed bag of solid jazz. The overall quality was impressive and I look forward to this configuration offering many more shows together in the future. On the other end of the age spectrum, young singer/songwriter Campbell Woods, fresh from graduating from King’s College in Halifax, returned to a full house at the Station Theatre in his hometown, backed by his step-brother, the accomplished Tim Jackson on guitar and backing vocals. Campbell admitted his musical idols were Townes Van Zant and Gram Parsons and his songwriting style, as well as his presentation adhered to this. Sad, often historic tales of substance, in a vocal range quite similar to them as well. There were other comparisons to Gordon Lightfoot, as well, being bantered about. There’s a nice timbre to Campbell’s voice that is easy to listen to, selling each tale well. I hope to bring him to one of our Listening Room shows next spring. I see a promising future for Campbell. I definitely give thanks for such a diverse live music scene locally.

Speaking of live music locally, our Sunday Listening Series presents Matt Epp at the Perth Tea Room (Perth Restaurant) on Sunday, Oct. 30 at 7 p.m. Matt is a Juno Award-winning, Canadian singer/songwriter from out west, who’s found success across North America and Europe.

Hospital workers honoured at annual awards ceremony BY DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

“It’s simple. We care.” With four words, Herve Cavanagh, president of OPSEU (Ontario Public Service Employees Union) local 466, summed up why he and other workers from the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital were gathered at Camp Merrywood outside Port Elmsley, Drummond/North Elmsley Township, for their annual service awards ceremony on Thursday, Oct. 13. Cavanagh said that, in preparing for his brief remarks that night, he had come across some information online that explained that Ontario hospital funding is “complicated,” even though it is “the most important services on which Ontarians rely.” While agreeing that the hospital sector was important to the people of this province, he added that “what we do is not complicated. It’s simple. We care.” He commended

the awards ceremony for putting “the emphasis on you guys. Often we get the blame - never the credit.” The awards celebrate the long years of service of not only hospital workers, but those who work at Lanark County Mental Health, Lanark County Support Services, and the Lanark County domestic violence and sexual assault programs. Hospital president and CEO Bev McFarlane said during her remarks that there are “challenges we have faced, and continue to face,” but that it was the people that made the hospital a good place to work.

“The people who work here feel a sense of camaraderie and team spirit and feel supported by those they work with,” she said. With so many staffers staying for decades, it is a testament to the fact that “those who work here also tend to stay…You should be proud of your contributions.” The new hospital board chair, Donna Howard, echoed McFarlane’s sentiments, saying that “we are really proud to celebrate with you tonight.” Kathy Onion, from CUPE (Canadian Union of Public Employees) local 2119 offered “congrats, from five years to 45 years,” of service. “Way to go guys. Good job.”

Increased availability of overdose drug in time for bootleg fentanyl crisis BY EVELYN HARFORD

eharford@metroland.com

Naloxone, the drug used to reverse the deadly effects of opioid overdoses, is now more readily available through the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark Health Unit and local pharmacies thanks to the Ontario Naloxone Program. It’s just in time for the rise in bootleg fentanyl, an extremely potent opioid with deadly consequences, sweeping into the local drug market. The provincial program came to fruition after Health Canada moved quickly to ensure that the life-saving drug would be available over-thecounter at pharmacies this summer. The changes, effective June 24, have allowed people to get the drug faster and without a doctor’s prescription. The drug can be administered by injection or through a nasal spray to the person suffering from an opioid overdose. Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit started to hand out naloxone kits with the injectable form of the drug nearly two years ago. And since then, they’ve handed out 157 naloxone kits; 14 have been used in the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark area. “That’s 14 people who have potentially had their lives saved,” said Jennifer Adams, Harm Reduction PHN co-ordinator at the Leeds,

Grenville and Lanark Health Unit, adding that the 157 kits distributed, so far, represents just the tip of the iceberg. Adams said the local health unit distributes three to four kits per week, but she knows the need is greater it’s just a matter of accessing drug users who would benefit from the kits. “We said at the beginning of this program that we’d hand out 15 kits – we’ve clearly surpassed that,” she said. But although the program has been successful and has been in existence for quite some time, with more bootleg fentanyl hitting the streets, Adams said the kits are more imperative than ever. That’s why the health unit has been successful in their push to increase the number of doses they’re able to provide to drug users. Previously the health unit gave out two, but now they provide three. Adams said they’d like to give out more doses in the future because there have been cases locally where four doses have been needed to revive someone from an overdose, suspected to have been brought on by fentanyl. Smiths Falls has historically been a cocaine town, Adams noted, but over the last number of years, there’s been an increase in opioid use in the region, bringing their use rate on par, if not higher than cocaine use.

FENTANYL From page P5

Naloxone kits have traditionally been thought to help opioid users who seek out drugs such as heroin, oxycodone and fentanyl patches. But the increasing cases of fentanyl found in drugs like cocaine is sounding alarm bells for drug users and frontline workers. Just last week Ottawa police said a seizure of cocaine was confirmed to contain fentanyl. Seizures like this are highlighting a new category of drug user who need access to

naloxone kits. Adams said cocaine users, are “opiate naïve,” meaning they don’t have a tolerance build up to opioids, like regular opioid users, so they’re more at risk of an accidental overdose. “This is a really, really risky group,” she said. Opioids cause a death every 13 hours in the province, according to the health unit and Leeds, Grenville and Lanark counties have not been immune to the crisis sweeping the nation. Increased access to naloxone

The health unit has indicated naloxone is the best way to treat an opioid overdose and the Ontario Naloxone Program will allow the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark Health Unit and local pharmacies have more access points to get the life-saving drugs into the hands of at-risk drug users. Adams said though the health unit has been providing kits for some time, there are still a substantial number of health units in the province who aren’t such as the Renfrew County and District Health Unit, who are currently looking to get on-

could help reduce these numbers, said Adams. And while the number of overdoes have skyrocketed in Ottawa, largely due to the increase in fentanyl, it’s unclear how bad the problem is in the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark area. Ed McPherson, the chief of Lanark County Paramedic Services, said he couldn’t speak to the numbers of overdoses the paramedic services has responded to in the region, but he did say that it’s a good thing to increase the availability of naloxone to the public.

2016

board soon. The Ontario government hasn’t mandated that health units carry naloxone kits, it’s up to the individual units to decide whether they’ll provide the drug or not. Although naloxone kits are available at pharmacies, Adams said stigma in small towns is still a huge barrier for drug users to go in to pick up the kit and get trained on how to use it. “The pharmacist could be your neighbour,” said Adams, adding that although there is “confidentiality” between the

pharmacist and the user, the fear of stigma can hold people back from getting help. She encouraged anyone who might need a kit to come into the health unit where they will get access to the life-saving drug and one-on-one training with a public health nurse. Adams said it still remains to be seen how effective providing naloxone to pharmacies. To find out more about naloxone or where to get a kit, please contact Jennifer Adams, Harm Reduction PHN co-ordinator at 613-283-2740 or the Health Action Line 1-800-660-5853.

BIA hopes for more Christmas lights this year

THE TOWNSHIP OF LANARK HIGHLANDS

BY DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

How popular were the Christmas lights in downtown Perth last year? “We had calls asking why their tree was not lit,” said Kari Clarke, co-ordinator of the Downtown Heritage Perth Business Improvement Area (BIA) during a presentation to Perth town council’s committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 4. Last winter, about 10,000 lights were added to 17 trees along Gore, Wilson and Foster Streets. So positive was the response from merchants and the community that, on Oct. 8, there was a Light Up The Night Dance at the Crystal Palace to raise more money for the program, and to add more lights downtown. Deputy mayor John Gemmell asked if there had been much trouble with any Christmas lights falling down, but community services director Shannon Baillon replied that “we have some repairs to do, but we have a plan in place.” Another change that has been made in the past year was changing parking tickets labelled with a “warning notice” to a “courtesy notice,” in order “to create a different impression.” Further to this, as a bridge-building exercise, the BIA will be exchanging membership lists with the Perth and District Chamber of Commerce. There was also a mix-and-mingle event between the two business bodies. “I think it’s great you’re initiating contact with the chamber,” said Coun. Jim Graff. There were also newly re-designed maps, which “are almost all gone,” said Clarke. “It’s seems to be quite popular. I saw a lot of people walking around with them this summer.” The maps focussed on shopping and dining. Distribution was increased by 100 per cent, with only a four per cent rise in cost. About 10,000 were printed and distributed in 2015, and the BIA handed out 20,000 in 2016. The BIA also held two open house events, one of which saw a discussion on downtown parking issues and the paving of Gore Street. Communications concerns were also discussed with town staff, and meetings were held with business owners and staff to discuss parking. This year’s Festival of Good Cheer will be held on Saturday, Nov. 26. Last year, 175 bags were handed out at the retail shopping event. The Stewart Park Festival also celebrated its 25th anniversary this year, which was marked with a special history book. As well, the BIA helped usher in a 200th anniversary CD of music.

A 200th anniversary grant paid out by the town to the BIA helped pay for a portion of the Thursday night performer fees. The BIA was also able to add a marketplace to this year’s festival, and, overall, the festival was able to contribute $6,000 to the local theatre community, while the annual YAK duck race again took to the waters of the Little Tay – making it the largest YAK fundraiser of the year. However, there was some bad news, as the Founders Dinner and the Kick-Off To Summer events did not generate as much revenue as expected. This will mean that the BIA will have to transfer some of the Stewart Park Festival reserves, but, they are still left with a healthy balance sheet, and their inventory of CDs and books will continue to be sold.

OPINION I

Connected to your community

Looking for decency

am really hoping the worst thing to come out of the American election in November is a feeling of distaste any time I play euchre and have to ask, “What’s trump?” I fear, though, that no matter the outcome, the effects of this campaign will be long lasting – and not in a good way. I’ve been on the planet long enough to understand spin and media and the hyperactivity of election campaigns. Usually I enjoy it. Often it is a good opportunity to assess a candidate on the issues. Right now, though, the candidates have eclipsed the issues. It’s hard to believe it has come this far. For the first time in my life I’ve taken to watching American presidential debates from start to finish, and it hasn’t been easy. I wanted to walk away, but I felt as if I needed to see it through in order to brace for the impact to follow. Even though I am just a bystander from another country, this is a “connected” world, and there are subtle repercussions for us. Last week I watched a speech by Michelle Obama that followed the release of the infamous video in which Trump brags about sexually assaulting women and his dismissal of it during the second debate as “locker room talk.” The First Lady is a huge advocate for women and girls, and her powerful speech resonated. In it she condemned Trump’s actions and talked about how hard it is to believe that, in 2016, women STILL have to fight harassment in so many forms. This campaign seems to have taken us back a few steps to a time when it was “okay” to verbally abuse women or non-whites or the LGBT community or people with disabilities. It’s infuriating. In her speech, Michelle Obama talks about decency and being “decent human beings,” and that’s what strikes a chord with me. She says the men in her life do not talk about women the way Trump suggests men do. I have to concur. Most of the men in my sphere not only respect women, they also advocate for them – and for everyone, because it is the decent thing to do. I agree with her that to suggest this is typical locker room talk is an “insult to decent men everywhere.” It’s not hard to be decent and kind,

not only when it comes to how women and girls are treated – but how we all treat one another. “Strong men, men who are truly role models, don’t need to put down women to make themselves feel powerful,” she says. “People who are truly strong lift others up. People who are truly powerful bring others together.” In my experience, this has always been the best way to make the world a better place. I am fortunate to work with many men and women who are role models this way. It’s easy to understand why people might shut off and stop watching and listening and stay home in disgust on voting day. That happens in Canada, too, but ignoring the horrible things being said, not speaking out about misogyny and bigotry and not voting is validating it. When powerful people say terrible things we must shine a light on it and say, “This is wrong. I do not support this.” So many times over the last few years I have found myself having to try to explain inexplicable things to my children related to current events. I often worry about the subliminal messages. For instance, looking beyond the fact there is a heated race between Clinton and Trump that is often ridiculous, what other messages are my kids picking up? How do we explain that a man like Trump could actually be elected? How can he say the things he says and do the things he does and still be supported? “Too many are treating this as just another day’s headline,” Michelle Obama said. “As if our outrage is overblown or unwarranted. As if this is normal: just politics as usual...be clear, this is not normal. This is not politics as usual. This is disgraceful. It is intolerable. And it doesn’t matter what party you belong to...no woman deserves to be treated this way...It’s about basic human decency. It’s about right and wrong.” It’s not a hard thing to be decent and kind. It does make the world a better place.

Mon dieu: Navigating Montreal by wheelchair

had never seen Montreal like this before. Canada’s second largest city is a wonder to behold. I have seen it may times before, and enjoyed it thoroughly, whether as a child travelling with my father, or, in 2004, on a crazy weekend with my brother. Later, in 2012, I visited as a husband and father. This past Thanksgiving weekend, my wife and I took our two daughters for a quick trip – which was eye-opening for her in a very bittersweet way. My wife has fibromyalgia, which is why she left her job back in August, with a heavy heart. It was one of the hardest decisions she has ever had to make. It has been a stressful journey, and there is a veritable grab-bag of horrible symptoms, each seemingly worse than the last. The most recent flare-up has been a serious reduction in mobility. Walks with our wee Chihuahua, Bella, have

DESMOND DEVOY Des Says developed a far reduced radius of late, as my wife gets winded, sore, and very tired. Looking at the map of Montreal, and where we wanted to travel, we made the decision to borrow my mother-in-law’s wheelchair (she has an electric one too, so, she was not left without means to get about herself!) I’ve navigated Ottawa and Toronto before with a baby stroller, which does make you plot out your route far differently. But a wheelchair in Montreal was something new. We stayed at La Tour Belvedere Hotel, a block or so away from the old Montreal Forum and at Atwater Metro station. Despite the potholes

and bumps in the sidewalk – testimony to Quebec’s notoriously dodgy infrastructure woes – we got to the Metro all right. Then we saw the step up into the station. And no elevator down, or escalators. Stacey had to get out of her chair, and I lifted the foldup wheelchair up for the long descent down. Even making it past the turnstiles, there were still more stairs. A later glance at the Metro map showed me that there was a station one stop down, at Lionel-Giroux. There was only one other stop with elevators, at Berri-QUAM. If she had been completely wheelchair bound, we may have had no choice but to use the car instead of public transportation. Montreal is such an old city – it turns 375 next year – and many parts of it are not accessible. On our first night, we went to First Fridays, a festival of food trucks at the Olympic Stadium.

But you’d want to be in your health to be able to push a grown woman up such a ramp. We got a schnitzel poutine from one of the trucks – followed by ice cream for the kids and a much-needed Mill Street Tankhouse Ale for myself – at which the lady taking our order invited us to visit their main store, before adding that it was not wheelchair accessible, for which she apologized. (Interestingly, even though my wife gave her order in French, the lady must have picked 2-4 Adams Street, Westport up on her Ontario accent, because she answered in English – only in Montreal!)

From front page

Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington MPP Randy Hillier said that, on this, the 200th anniversary of Perth’s creation as a military settlement, he was “very proud,” and found it “fitting that we have the Canadian Armed forces here.” “Welcome to all the troops,” said Mayor John Fenik during the welcome ceremony beside town hall on a beautiful fall morning. “I’d like to welcome you and your men and women…Our hearts and prayers go out to all those of you who serve in some of the darkest places. Welcome to Perth. Make it your home.” Fenik added that this was the first time that the military had shown up in such numbers and force since the Ice Storm of 1998. Lt. Col. Jeff Hampton agreed with Hillier that Perth “started out as a military garrison,” and that “we hope to continue to come back.” Their mission this year stems from “the Cana-

dian government (which has) resolved to sending us somewhere, sometime,” he said. (Media reports say that the federal government is looking at a new peacekeeping mission somewhere in Africa.) Hampton presented Fenik with a plaque to commemorate Operation Tomahawk coming to Perth, and Fenik returned the favour, presenting Hampton and his crew with some authentic Lanark County maple syrup. (Hampton had run out of maple syrup for his French toast that very morning.) The public had another opportunity to see some more military hardware during a community engagement session, again at Market Square, on Friday, Oct. 14, from 4 to 6 p.m. The LAV-6s on display on Oct. 12 are just new to the armed forces, having entered service just this year. They replace the older LAV-3, and have a few modifications, including LED lights.

Civitan Club presents awards, installs new officers

The Civitan Club of Perth installed their new executive on Sept. 27 at a dinner held at the Civitan Hall with some awards handed out as well. The new board consists of President Karen Lindop-Beckwith, President Elect Bryan Wiltsie, Past President Bill Kelleher, Treasurer Wendy Robinson, Secretary Donna Ferguson and Directors Bill McNicol, Cathie McCabe, Bonnie Ennis, Paul Anderson, Bill Kelford and Carol Smith. District Governor Trish McConnell was on hand to install each officer and this was particularly enjoyable as she is also a member of the Perth Club. Lindop-Beckwith thanked the outgoing board for their dedicated service over the past year and presented them with a pin. The club recognizes members work during the past year through awards. Rookie of the Year went to Eber Conboy and Civitan of the Year to Bill McNicol. The Canadian East District, at a recent convention, awarded the Perth Club the honour of having the best bulletin in the district. The award consists of a banner patch and LindopBeckwith presented the patch to bulletin editor Bob Burch. A very special award, The Honour Key, is earned by someone who has provided special dedicated service to the Civitan Club. The Honor Key was presented to Joe Ferguson for his dedicated service over the past 21 years. Submitted by Bob Burch

Reese Witherspoon pinned Perth Last week on Instagram, two of my favourite things collided: Reese Witherspoon and Perth. The Hollywood actress was CATHY JAMES scrolling through Pinterest, and came across an image so beautiful that she posted it to her Instagram account. The photo? An image of the Nevis Estate in October. In the photo, the tree-lined laneway was covered in gorgeous orange leaves with the stone house centered. Truly, it’s breathtaking. Reese (we’re on a first-name basis), Instagrammed it out with the following caption: Fall Foliage. *swoon* #autumn #pinterestfind. Her 7.4 million followers got a taste of Perth, and many of the 1,500 comments made on the photo displayed her followers’ appreciation for the beauty. And we get to see this every day.

Autumn trees in Perth

Indigenous studies professor to present in Perth on Oct. 23 Trent University’s Professor Lynne Davis, a prominent scholar on relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in Canada, will be presenting a workshop on October 23, 2016, at 2pm at St Paul’s United Church in Perth. Professor Davis is editor of the book: Alliances: Re/Envisioning Indigenous-Non-Indigenous Relationships, and teaches courses on the themes of Indigenous/ Non-Indigenous alliances and “transforming settler consciousness.” The workshop, entitled “Alliances towards Reconciliation: Thinking About Canada at 150” will be co-hosted by the Lanark County Neighbours for Truth and Reconciliation, and St. Paul’s Mission and Outreach Committee. The workshop is free of charge but donations towards the cost of this and future events will be gratefully accepted. The Idle No More movement, modern land claims, and the release of last year’s reports from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada have placed questions of Indigenous and settler relationships and colonialism front and centre in Canada. Locally, this year’s 200th anniversary of the Perth Military Settlement raised questions and concerns about how Indigenous-settler relationships have evolved throughout the centuries of European settlement. Next year marks Canada’s 150th anniversary, which again raises awareness of the colonial legacy and has the potential to bring out feelings of anger and shame within both Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities. The workshop with Professor Davis will provide participants with an opportunity to reflect on the impacts of the historical legacy of colonialism as Canada turns 150, helping people move beyond anger, shame or guilt for what has happened and is still happening in Indigenous communities. As Hawaiian scholar and activist Poka Laenui points out, anger and guilt are emotions that we all have and that we need to own, but we cannot get stuck in them because they do not lead to social change. Lynn Davis: “Alliances towards Reconciliation: Thinking About Canada at 150” Sunday, October 23, 2- 4pm St. Paul’s United Church, 25 Gore St W, Perth, ON Free admission; donations gladly accepted

Time for a segue! In my last column, I asked you for your input on the best location for autumn colours. Some of you said: 29 Gore St. W, the tree line on Rideau Ferry Road just outside of Perth and the drive to Westport. I’ve been scouting out some trees since writing the last column, and I was taken aback by just how vibrant the colours have been in town. I think my favourite tree is on the Barker Willson lot off Drummond Street. It had such an impact, I told Reese about it.

dation is ready to give back to the community again. They’ve recently opened their doors to accept applications for their grant funding streams. While they’ll continue to offer its annual granting program, they’ve also set up a one-time Community Fund for Canada’s 150th. In case you haven’t heard, Canada turns 150 next year. The community foundation, a registered charity serving the western half of Lanark County, manages an endowment fund created through charitable donations. Eligible agencies are those that are recognized by PDCF opens funding doors the Canada Revenue Agency as a registered The Perth and District Community Foun- charity, based in or providing services to the

citizens of Perth and Townships of Tay Valley, Drummond/North Elmsley and Lanark Highlands. The foundation’s granting program supports a broad range of projects, and focuses on programs targeting youth, seniors, health, education, the environment, arts and culture, sports and recreation and social development. Last year, more than $40,000 was granted to 18 groups and organizations. That’s pretty amazing. You can find out more by visiting http://pdcf.ca/applications. php.

First time father reflections

Rev Michelet Dormeus First Baptist Church Perth

I am seated in front of my computer, assessing my feelings about being a first time father. I know that my wife is pregnant and almost full term. By placing my hand on her belly, I’m able to feel the baby moving. More frequently now, I even observe interesting shapes of our daughter’s movement on the belly. In addition to the baby’s movement, I can see the many things happening on the outside in preparation for her. The nursery is almost ready. The people of our church have blessed us with a baby shower to help us with the many things that are needed to care for a baby. Moreover, my wife talks about the baby all the time. With all these facts about the baby’s coming, I cannot deny that it is real. I am truly becoming a father and I am looking forward to meeting with this little girl. Somehow, though, I still feel a detachment from the reality that is unfolding day after day. I know what the baby’s name will be, but I don’t know what she will look like. I know that she is a girl, but I don’t know what her personality will be. There is a distance

in operation in Perth, Ontario since 1999. The founder and Medical Director, Dr. Manuela Joannou, has always been passionate about helping others achieve optimum health and well-being.

Take advantage of these state of the art anti-aging technologies that keep everyone wondering how you continue to look so young! Tay River Reflections also offers facials, nail treatments (manicures and pedicures) hair removal (including laser and electrolysis) as well as hypnosis, acupuncture and reflexology. Treat yourself to a relaxing spa day where you are taken File photo through a journey of pampering and revitalizing.

Correction

Desmond Devoy/Metroland

Team Spirit: The Perth and District Collegiate Institute Blue Devils junior boys football team raise their helmets together during a huddle during their home game against Almonte on Oct. 14.

Oct. 14, 2016.

On our front page last week (Thursday, Oct. 13) we incorrectly reported that the Perth and District Collegaite Institute Blue Devils junior boys football team had lost its Turkey Bowl game against cross-town rivals, the Spartans of St. John Catholic High School. (This error was then continued on in our inside pages, where we again reiterated this incorrect score.) The junior Blue Devils actually won the game in convincing fashion, 41-14. We also forgot to identify members of the PDCI team in our cutlines. Although this unintentional error was the result of incorrect information provided to this newspaper, we would like to apologize to the hard-working players, coaches and staff on the team who have worked so hard to maintain PDCIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sterling athletic reputation, and left it all out there on the gridiron on Thanksgiving weekend. Again, we apologize for these error, and wish the team all the best of luck for the duration of the season.
