Jeff Dean earns Perth Medal
ljweir@metroland.com
Business – It was a fitting presentation to a young volunteer in the community during the annual Perth and District Chamber of Commerce awards dinner
at Farrell Hall Oct. 15. The Perth Medal, instigated 19 years ago as a mayor’s award of excellence, was presented to Jeff Dean, a young family man with deep volunteer roots in the community. The first Perth Medal was presented to Dean’s grandfather,
Ron, so this year’s presentation had a lot of meaning for the younger Dean. Fenik described Dean’s active roles in the community which includes his commitment with the Perth Rotary See MEDAL page P2
News – The Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital has been preparing for four weeks for the potential arrival of Ebola in the area. “We have been actively preparing for the situation where we might see a patient with Ebola,” said Linda Bisonette, the hospital’s outgoing president and chief executive officer (CEO), during a telephone interview on Monday, Oct. 20. More than 100 staffers have been trained in proper procedures at both the Smiths Falls and Perth sites, and “we need to continue to train… for the foreseeable future.” The hospital’s new president and CEO, Beverley McFarlane, who took over the reins on Oct. 6, but has been working alongside Bisonette leading up to her Oct. 31 retirement, said she was impressed with what she saw. “I was really impressed with the training of staff,” McFarlane said. “I would say they were in front of the curve,” in terms of preparation, she said, even before directives were issued from the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. About 500 pieces of personal protective equipment (PPE) will be available to staff at each campus, and Bisonette was “confident that personal protective equipment will cover them,” following on complaints from American nursing unions that their PPE’s did not properly cover their members. Following the SARS outbreak of 2003, the provincial government man-
dated that all Ontario hospitals had to have a “negative air pressure room,” and both sites have one, with an ante room for medical staff to put their PPEs on, “so that is protecting everyone,” with a “buddy” helping them off and on with their suits. McFarlane noted that all of the suits are disposable. The “plan of action,” is to have as few medical staffers as possible interacting with the patient believed to have the disease, a one-to-one ratio, if at all possible. “We would dedicate staff to that person and that room,” Bisonette said. While both hospitals have signs up asking patients to provide information on their travels and symptoms when they present themselves at the emergency room, “we are asking them at triage,” said Bisonette, about any travelling they have done recently. While it takes a while for an Ebola diagnosis to be delivered, once a case has been confirmed, they would likely be taken to a referral centre in either Kingston or Ottawa. “We would not be admitting people with a positive test for Ebola,” Bisonette said. According to a press release from the hospital, issued this past Monday, “Ebola is a viral illness which has an incubation of (between) two and 21 days following contact with blood or body fluids of an individual who is showing signs of illness from the virus. Transmission is solely through contact. People who do not have contact will not become ill.”

Kemptville Snowmobile Klub earns provincial Club of the Year award
Focus on safety KSK promotes safety and the protection of the environment and offered two driver training courses with 40 children and 11 adults receiving training this past year. Robinson said trails are checked often to ensure safety signage is posted and they are regularly patrolled. The clubhouse, in Patterson’s Corners, doesn’t just provide a spot for KSK executive to meet for bi-weekly meetings, but it was open 11 weekends during the season and offers snowmobilers washroom facilities, food and information.
partnership is at our Snowarama. It is held at the fire hall so the firemen set it up and do the parking control,” Robinson commented. “Our club volunteers mark the trail and our members get the pledges. The Girl Guides and Pathfinders cook the breakfast and serve the food to 175 people in the community. The Scouts clean up the tables and help with the final cleanup. The local chapter of Easter Seals is there to collect the pledges and tally the funds.” KSK is a strong presence at district meetings and are active within the
OFSC, participating on the VIA, trails and nominations committees. Robinson said that with a good crop of volunteers, a 50 per cent increase in permit sales this past year and raising more than $15,000 for community organizations, the KSK is a good candidate for Club of the Year. “...Most importantly we provided a ‘fun and safe time in a family environment’ for our club members. We feel the Kemptville Snowmobile Klub deserves the 2014 Club of the Year award,” he concluded.

The Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs held its annual general meeting recently in Ottawa. Clubs from all over Ontario attended and at the President’s Dinner, the awards for the province were handed out. The Kemptville Snowmobile Klub was chosen out of 2014 clubs to receive the President’s Award as Club of the Year. This prestigious award comes with a trophy, a keeper plaque and a $2,000 cheque from Supertrax magazine, the sponsor. Above, from left: Kent Lester of Supertrax magazine; Kemptville Snowmobile Klub members Bruce Robinson, Carol Lavigne, Marty Lavigne and Liz Robinson; and Mark Lester of Supertrax. Robinson further stressed KSK’s community involvement, which saw them host a summer barbecue, set up a booth at Kemptville Ribfest, organize potluck suppers, as well as a landowners’ dinner and bird club Christmas dinner. Three breakfast events and an open house was also held in order for the community to gain a better understanding of the snowmobile club. The
season was capped off with Snowarama for Easter Seals, which raised more than $6,000. Partnerships are also important to the club and they have strong relationships with the North Grenville Fire Department, 1st Oxford Mills Girl Guides, as well as the Oxford-on-Rideau Bird Club. “The best example of community

Community – The Kemptville Snowmobile Klub recently received the prestigious Club of the Year award from the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) during its recent annual general meeting in Ottawa. The club was chosen out of 214 across Ontario to receive the Club of the Year honour, also known as the President’s Award. It came with a trophy, plaque and grant of $2,000 from sponsor, Supertrax magazine. In his application to the OSFC, KSK president Bruce Robinson said the club had experienced an “exceptional year.” “Looking back over the last 12 months, the two outstanding accomplishments that show our excellence would be our permit sales and our recruitment of new volunteers,” he explained. “...to give you an indication of the scope of our success we went from 222 seasonal and classic permits two years ago to 332 season and classics last year, to 414 this year. Under volunteer recruitment, we were able to attract 10 new volunteers and six high school students earning their volunteer hours.” The KSK maintains 220 kilometres of trails and accomplished seven trail projects in the last year, including installing culverts and levelling the ground. Robinson also noted that a new club map was created for members as well. Regular grooming of trails was done, with members logging more than 700 hours from Dec. 1 to March 28. “...Our trails were audited for signage compliance by the OFSC and we had zero infractions,” Robinson stated. “Groomer operators and trail patrollers monitored the signs throughout the season. A large number of riders who stopped in to our clubhouse told us we had the best trails in the district.” Volunteer development is another program KSK has implemented with great success. The club has a co-ordinator who follows-up with volunteers on a regular basis and Robinson said this has had “outstanding” results. He noted that there is a total of 75 volunteers, with a core of 35 individuals. They also appreciate volunteers through annual events and awards. “In 2013-2014, we have put in approximately 2,700 hours of volunteering,” he said, adding that the club’s involvement in the Snowarama for Easter Seals fundraiser earned them a North Grenville Civic Award this year.

Bill Pratt to present at Nov. 10 fundraiser in Almonte for therapeutic riding program Community – On Monday, Nov. 10 at the United Church in Almonte, the very generous and talented Bill Pratt, will be once again dazzling audiences with an all new show – with proceeds to the Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program. You may have been privileged to have recently seen the incredible show Canada Wild – done in conjunction with Ian Douglas and the Raintree Earth Ensemble at the Almonte Old Town Hall in September. It sold out weeks in advance and was truly amazing to experience. If you haven’t seen Pratt’s work before, or if you are a big fan, I en-
courage you to come out and join us for a great evening and support an amazing local charity. Pratt’s audio-visual presentations are always a smashing success and the therapeutic riding program is so very grateful for his continued support. Over the past 15 years, he has done 12 shows to benefit the riding program, bringing in an estimated $30,000 worth of revenue. This event is being called British Columbia Grasslands and Great Bear Rainforest and takes place at the Almonte United Church (106 Elgin Street).
Every year, these fundraising events are well attended and always memorable. Best of all, they support a local charitable organization that has been around helping differently-abled persons in your community, for the past 28 years. In 2014 alone, the riding program has given therapeutic riding lessons to 148 physically disabled and developmentally challenged kids and adults. Our program does not receive any ongoing government funding – so we really count on fundraising events to make ends meet. Mark your calendars – get on over
to the book store and grab some tickets while they last and join us for a great time supporting super cause. As an extra enticement, Pratt has finally agreed to put up an ‘extremely-difficult-almost-impossible-to– get-your-hands-on’ photograph – as an item for our silent auction. What a great guy! Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. for the silent auction viewing and tea time. The presentation is set to begin at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 each and are available at Reads Book Shop in Carleton Place and Mill Street Books in Almonte.
You can also give us a shout and I’ll put some aside for you at the door. More details are available on our website at www.therapeuticriding. ca or by calling 613-257-7121 ext. 238. Submitted by Amy Booth with the Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program.

Left: The original hat creations of Atoosa Rowshan of Carleton Place will be on display and up for sale during this Saturday’s IODE Craft Fair, being held at the Carleton Place Arena. And the style of hat has to suit you...only then can you feel comfortable in a hat. Once someone tries on a hat that is suitable for them alone, they then can see how it can enhance their appearance,” she said.
Early retirement from a job that was affecting her health helped Rowshan decide to go into hat-making full-time. Lazing around in front of the television has never been her style. In fact, there are no TVs
in the house! Now her leisure time is filled with creating one-of-a-kind hats, using everything from hand knit materials, furs, suede, and now leather, while creating the now-so-popular fascinator, that is just a wisp of whimsy
Start your Christmas season with a visit to our shop to see handcrafted by us, snowmen, Santas, country and primitive decorated sleighs, skis, snow man-themed decorated old windows, shutters, antique sleighs, lanterns, candles and more! We hope to see you there! You can call 613-269-3559 or lindanash@bell.net for questions and/or directions.

Community – It may have something to do with the Dutchess of Cambridge, and then again, it may be that women are returning to the more feminine look that an elegant hat can help achieve, but certainly hats have made a comeback. They come in all shapes and sizes, and range from something as simple as denim to the ultra feminine tulle and organza seen on Kate Middleton wearing what we know as the ‘fascinator’ . Recently, at an elegant Carleton Place gala, dubbed The Little Black Dress held with a sell-out crowd, the fascinator was everywhere. Most of them were created by Atoosa Rowshan of Carleton Place, who began making hats in the mid‘80s and hasn’t turned off her creative juices since. She will have many of her original creations at the upcoming IODE Craft Fair being held in Carleton Place on Saturday, Oct. 25. Her one-of-a-kind hats run from the very elegant and sophisticated to the simple cloche or tam and her favourite can be a mixture of material and fur, all created from her own patterns. Rowshan said the crown is the most important part when creating a hat, and of course, the person who will be wearing the hat, must suit the style. That is why each hat is different. She admits that many women think they look terrible in a hat. She is out to prove them wrong. “A hat is supposed to compliment you. First of all, it has to feel comfortable on your head.
made of the most feminine materials available. Rowshan will be displaying her hats at the upcoming annual IODE Craft Fair, being held on Saturday, Oct. 25, in the upper hall of the Carleton Place Arena, beginning at 10 a.m.

Make the right decision
ditorial – During any election, there’s bound to be mudslinging. While it makes for an exciting race, especially for those of us putting out newspapers, it isn’t the greatest way to get a message across. This municipal election particularly seems to be bringing out the worst in many candidates in our communities when they should be showing the public their best. With election day fast approaching on Monday, Oct. 27, it’s time for residents to sit down and do their homework. Cut through all the nonsense and cheap shots. When you set aside all the negativity, what do you get? Can you find candidates that best represent the ideals you have? Leave what you may have heard about certain people out of the equation. Does their platform talk about issues you want brought to the forefront? Do you vote to keep a person in office simply because you know their track record and what to expect? These are the types of questions we must ask ourselves when casting our ballots and sometimes it’s about who is the lesser of two (or three or four) evils. Perhaps consider this question: If someone is continuously using negativity to cut down others, is that someone you want making decisions with taxpayer money?

would be choosing. We would start at the front, as usual. But we had no interest in the corsets, so Mother quickly moved on to dresses, blouses, and skirts. Even though my sister Audrey looked longingly at the skirts with pleats, she knew better than to ask for one. Any new skirt would come right out of one of Uncle Jack’s dress suits that came regularly in the handme-down box from Regina. And so Mother moved on to the underwear. There were the hateful navy blue fleecelined bloomers! I got a new pair of them every winter, because there wasn’t much left to them by the time winter was over. She wrote down the number and size and moved on to the combination underwear. Audrey had long since grown out of long underwear, but I had a few years to go. And I loved the feel of the soft downy combinations that came with the faintest mauve lines

When one makes the decision to run for a council seat, are they doing so just to point out the negative faults of those currently sitting around the table? It’s doubtful. Most do so because they have a genuine interest in municipal politics and want to help their community grow. However, it’s easy to get lost in all the negativity. The phrase “Take the high road” exists for a reason. Instead of pointing out what you dislike so much about your competitor, instead talk about the changes you would like to bring to the community. Mudslinging as a means of getting your campaign platform across isn’t fair to the public you hope to serve. Of course politicians tell us what we want to hear, but that’s especially poignant during election time. They want our vote so they’re going to tell us they agree that a background study should be done on a certain issue or promise to put more garbage cans downtown, because they want our vote. Before election day, we urge you to read candidates’ platforms and materials, find out if their goals match what you see for the future of your community. Put the people in office who will work for the betterment of the municipality, not promote negativity and division.

Hunter safety a priority DEAR EDITOR: With hunting season getting underway, Ontario hunters are reminded that safety needs to be their first priority when they head into the woods this autumn. There are a number of things that hunters can do to keep themselves and those around them safe. Some safety rules hunters are asked to keep in mind, include: • Wearing hunter orange • Handling firearms with care; treat every firearm as though it is loaded • Never shooting unless they’re sure of their target and what lies beyond

How to keep a beautiful fall flower garden
MARY From page 8
in the material and I was happy to see that a set had joined the list on the order form. We worked our way through the catalogue…me, ‘oohing and awing’ over the bolts of material, the shoes, and of course, the galoshes with the fur trim...just like the ones bad Marguirite wore to the Northcote School. My galoshes were hand-medowns from Audrey...simple black rubber ones with clamp hooks down the front. They wore the look of many years of hard wear...with patches upon patches Father had put on, much the same way as when he fixed the inner tubes of the Model T Ford. My three brothers were each to get a new plaid flannelette shirt to wear to school. They had no choice in the pattern or the colour. Mother just wrote down a number, and that was all there was to it! And then there were the pages devoted to Christmas. This, without a doubt, was my very favourite part of the catalogue. There were pages of decorations, packages of tinsel and Christmas lights for those lucky enough to have electricity. There would be no entries in the order form from those pages, I knew for a fact. But Mother knew how much I loved that section and so she let me run my fingers down the pages and in my
again. Many grocery stores are selling pots of Mums. These plants will add an instant burst of colour to your garden or to your containers. Some of these may be winter hardy so consider planting them in your garden. There are certain varieties that are definitely winter hardy. Clara Curtis is one. It is a pink daisy like flower that reliably blooms each fall. The Morden research lab in Winnipeg, famous for creating many of our hardy roses, also has a line of Chrysanthemums. Black Eyed Susan and Brown Eyed Susan, are both Rudbeckia and both bloom proudly well into the fall. Blue Lobelia is native peren-
nial that starts blooming at the end of August and keeps going into the fall. The Butterfly Bush is a terrific fall flowering shrub. As its name implies, it is a real butterfly attractor and is a welcome treat for butterflies late in the season. Many varieties of Phlox bloom well into the fall and can survive light frosts. I had two new fall bloomers this year. The first was Bugbane (Cimicifuga simplex). It grows taller than me, has beautiful dark foliage and produces wands of cream coloured flowers that smell divine. Bees and butterflies love it too. It took a couple of years to get comfortable in my garden but this year it was a real
mind’s eye, I would pretend the Christmas balls, the fancy wrapping paper and rolls of ribbons, which for some reason only came in red, green and navy blue, would be added to the list. And then closer to the back of the catalogue were pages of Christmas candy. It came in colourful tins and pails and I was sure I could smell the peppermint and the caramel right off the pictures. The tins and pails were tilted over, spilling out the candies and each piece looked like you could pick it right off the page. Then Mother would ask which pail or tin I thought looked the best...and I would agonize over the pictures, rubbing my finger down the page from the top to the bottom, finally settling on one that had hard candies of every shape and size. And I would see Mother write the number on the order form in front of her. And I would be filled with the utmost joy. Real Christmas candy! Could there be anything more wonderful? At the very bottom of the order Mother would print three letters...C.O.D. That meant the order would be either delivered by the mailman, at which time Mother would have to come up with the money to pay for it, or it would go to Briscoe’s General Store. It would be many years
later that I would learn that if the order went to the store and Mr. Briscoe knew Mother might not have all the money to pay for her Eaton’s order, he would simply add it to her bill and she paid it off, bit by bit, when she could. True Christmas spirit prevailed back then, many weeks before that magic time came about. And it all started around the old pine table and Eaton’s catalogue and culminated when it arrived at Northcote, either delivered by our mailman, or with a phone call from Mr. Briscoe that the parcel of treasures had arrived.

Lifestyle – All summer long, your flower garden has bloomed beautifully. As the days get shorter and cooler, many of our gardens are looking a little shaggy. What is a poor gardener to do? If you want colour in your garden in the fall, you have to think about it in the spring. So often, we go to the garden centre or plant sale and only buy plants that are in bloom. By the time September rolls around, they are worn out. Many of the flowers that bloomed earlier in the year will bloom again if you dead head them shortly after blooming. Perennial Bachelor Buttons, Delphiniums, Yarrow and Dianthus are all plants that had bloomed in the spring or summer. As soon as they start to fade, deadhead them. Not only will your garden look fresher, there is a good chance that many of them will bloom
star of the fall garden. The second was Autumn Crocus (Colchicum autumnale). This plant looks like the spring blooming crocus but is much, much larger. It has a very different growing pattern. In the spring, it grew leaves that look like tulip leaves. They died back. In late September, little points started to come up out of the ground and beautiful mauve flowers appeared. The bulbs increase in number so the first year, you may get one flower per bulb. The next year you may have four or five bulbs where you only had one. Ornamental grasses come into their own in the fall. Take a walk through a garden centre to see if there are any that you can add to your garden. Roses often get their second wind after the heat of summer has passed. I like to deadhead and prune my roses at the beginning of August (no later) and they usually reward me with a beautiful display. If you were disappointed in your garden this fall, take a look around and see if there are any plants you can add that will keep your fall flower garden looking great.

Tribute to the legends of country music at Carleton Place arena Oct. 30 Jeff Maguire
Community – Country music fans who enjoy songs by legends like Hank Williams Sr., Johnny Cash, Jim Reeves, Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton will not want to miss a special evening in Carleton Place at the end of October. The Carleton Place Arena Staff Association will present a Tribute to the Legends of Country Music in the main upstairs hall of the arena complex on Thursday, Oct. 30 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 each. The tribute concert will be performed by a southern Manitoba-based group Country Blend, five seasoned performers who have been touring regularly since 2004. The same quintet drew a large and appreciative audience when they first performed in Carleton Place in May of 2012. They are returning by popular demand for one night only! The group’s two hour long shows are a blend of traditional country music and country gospel, hence their name. The long-time entertainers
have 10 compact disc releases under their belts and Bob White, the local promoter who is once again the chief organizer of the show, calls their style “old time country. “Country Blend performs all the old classics. It is easy listening. For country fans and older people in particular this will be the perfect show,” says White, the senior facilities operator for the Carleton Place recreation and culture department. White is well known in the area for promoting country music shows and conducting various other fundraisers in the growing community of more than 10,000. “Country Blend offers a nice mix of music,” White adds. “They are not gospel singers but they sing some gospel songs. “They dress formally and deliver an old-fashioned country show,” he underlines. The group travels by bus and will have a large entourage of some 50 people with them on this particular tour. The Carleton Place show
is one of 20 the group will perform in the Maritimes, Eastern Ontario and Western Canada. Their tour begins in Grand Bank, Newfoundland on Oct. 17 and includes stops in Digby, Nova Scotia and Florenceville-Bristol, New Brunswick. They will appear at Trinity United Church in Smiths Falls on Oct. 29. Following the Carleton Place appearance the group will head back to the Prairies performing 14 shows in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. Their two month long tour ends in Brookdale, Manitoba on Wednesday, Dec. 10. As for Country Blend’s repertoire, also among the many top notch country entertainers whose songs the group covers are Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson, the Statler Brothers and Jeannie C. Riley. Veteran performers Country Blend is comprised of five veteran entertainers, three men and two women, and each has years of experience in their particular field of music. They all come
from a farming background. The members are Cyn and Dianne Lodge who farm just south of Belmont, Manitoba. Cyn, the group’s manager, plays the drums while Dianne sings lead and harmony and plays the bass guitar. Harry Martens, who lives in Baldur, Manitoba sings lead and he also performs on both the lead and rhythm guitar. Evelyn Ramage, the other female member of the group, farms near Manitou, Manitoba. Evelyn sings lead and harmony. Gordy ‘Crazy Fingers’ Lindquist lives in the Turtle Mountains north of Bottineau, North Dakota. As the nickname implies, he is the band’s piano player. Promoter White says all of the group’s concerts are performed at an easy listening volume. He says Linquist’s piano performance is worth the price of admission alone. “Gordy is just outstanding. He is really funny and can play in almost any position, lying down or with a sheet over his head. “When they were here two years ago he had them (audience) rolling in the aisles. A
very funny man!” The presentation will be made in a theatre setting. There will be no bar but during intermission coffee, tea and desserts can be purchased. “It should be a really great night out and it won’t be a late night,” White stresses. He says he originally became interested in having the band perform locally after speaking to manager Cyn Lodge and reading what he terms “some good, independent on-line reviews of their music.” During their initial appearance here in 2012 White says they more than lived up to their billing. “They put on a very professional and entertaining show.” Tickets for the Tribute to the Legends of Country Music show are now available for $15 each at Graham’s Shoes, 139 Bridge Street, Carleton Place; at the community centre office or by telephoning White himself at 613-2535046. All proceeds from the performance will go to the Arena Staff Association which uses
the funds for various projects within the complex as they work to improve a facility which already has a very good name in the community and the district. The Carleton Place and District Community Centre is located at 75 Neelin Street (the intersection of Neelin and Begley Streets) behind Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital. The hospital is at the corner of Lake Ave. E. and Neelin St. There is signage pointing to both the hospital and the arena on major routes into Carleton Place. The community centre features plenty of free parking, there is handicapped access via an elevator and there are modern washroom facilities in the upper hall. “We’re looking forward to having Country Blend here. This is an event for seniors in particular and all fans of classic country. I know people will really enjoy the show,” White concludes.

Above, playing for a full house at Merrickville’s Royal Canadian Legion on Saturday, Oct. 18 was the East Side Jazz Quartet, a group who performs their own original music exclusively. Right, the Adam Daudrich Trio, featuring musicians on vocals, piano, upright bass and drums, had the audience grooving at Merrickville’s Holy Trinity Anglican Church during their performance on Sunday, Oct. 18. Below, a member of the East Side Jazz Quartet plays an upbeat guitar solo.
Suddenly I am a Toronto Maple Leafs’ fan
Premeditated acts What I am talking about is the deliberate, premeditated kind of fighting which has hurt the level of play in the NHL, professional hockey in general and some amateur leagues for far too long. Incidents are countless and in some cases repetitive as one team’s enforcer tries to “get even” with an enforcer from another team. Often it lowers the level of a game and drags it out to the point it is not worth watching. Those who attend or tune in NHL games just to watch the fights should focus on boxing, wrestling or mixed martial arts. Fighting should never have been allowed to become an accepted part of hockey. Examples of this kind of thing are endless of course but one of the worst recent incidents occurred last season in Vancouver when the opposing teams engaged in a brawl, involving all 12 players on the ice, as soon as the puck was dropped to open the game. It would be laughable if it wasn’t so pathetic! Yes, there were the usual suspensions and fines which also extended to the Vancouver Canucks’ coach. But as usual in the NHL, the punishment didn’t fit the crime and as a result occurrences like that are simply added to the record book and the same problem continues to plague the sport. Do NHL players and management realize the kind of negative example they set when this sort of thing is not properly dealt with? Some pundits say fighting is allowed to exist in the NHL because it plays to a certain audience south of the border that know little about the sport but are drawn to the violent side of hockey. Sort of like those who attend car races in hope of witnessing a serious crash. Personally I think the matter runs far deeper than that. I believe it has become part of the culture of professional hockey and that is a real shame. But when a team like the Toronto Maple Leafs, arguably the best known club in hockey, take the positive step they have taken this season others take notice. Well, I certainly hope they do. Junior hockey cracked down on violent activity long ago. Sure, fights still happen in leagues such as the Central Canada Hockey League (Tier 1 Junior A) which includes teams in Carleton Place, Smiths Falls and Kemptville in our coverage area. But in my experience they are few and far between and when they do happen the CCHL have rules in place which severely punish those involved. If players are banished from playing the sport they excel at, most get the message very quickly. Fight-
Sad history Injuries, however, have not prompted the NHL to crack down on fighting. In September 1969 I was in attendance at an NHL exhibition game at the Ottawa Civic Centre involving St. Louis Blues, who held their training camp in the nation’s capital at the time and the Boston Bruins. A stick swinging fight left veteran Boston defenceman Ted Green with a fractured skull and brain damage. It was only due to the fast work of skilled surgeons that Green survived. I was a witness to that incident and I will never forget the sight of Green on his hands and knees in a huge pool of blood. It was sickening! I have been an opponent of hockey fighting ever since. Now let’s flash to February 2004 and the incident in Vancouver which left Colorado Avalanche forward Steve Moore with a career-ending neck injury. Moore was deliberately attacked and hit from behind in apparent retaliation for an earlier incident in which he delivered a head hit which left a Canucks’ player with a concussion. The Moore incident was a major black eye for the NHL. But did it stop fighting or retaliatory hits in the league? Of course not! The only way that will happen is if A.) NHL teams follow the good example set by Toronto this season or B.) If the league itself imposes penalties and suspensions which make fighting so unattractive it is drummed out of the sport. The latter is something that could and should have been done years ago. There is already enough risk of injury in a fast, hard hitting contact sport like hockey. Allowing players to be deliberately put in harm’s way by the actions of those who have no place in the game is unacceptable.

odd punch or two are inevitable.
ing is not why they play Junior A hockey. Most have the much higher goal of combining hockey and education at a major American college or university. In the NHL fighting is not only tolerated it is encouraged. Therefore the league has no intention of eliminating this nonsensical sideshow. However, cracks are beginning to appear in the rather poor armour the league has been sporting in recent years. The league has gotten tougher on head hits, something I wrote a column about three years ago in this newspaper. But it is not because of criticism of head hits that the NHL has cracked down. It’s because skill players such as superstar Sidney Crosby have been forced out of action for extended periods due to severe concussions sustained in these incidents.

Lifestyle – I realize some people are going to be very surprised to read the headline on my column this week. And yes, it is a departure for me a sports fan who has never previously professed any sort of affiliation with or affinity for the Toronto Maple Leafs. No, I haven’t abandoned the Ottawa Senators who I have always said is my first team of choice in the National Hockey League (NHL). As an Ottawa native, how could I not support my hometown team? It’s unthinkable! And no, I’m not being pressured by the Bowes brothers, nor have I been unduly influenced by my Almonte friend Charlie Kitts or my uncle Jan Watson in Chatham, Ontario. All are unrepentant Leafs’ fans. But no, that is not the reason. I haven’t suddenly developed feelings of sympathy for Toronto hockey fans that have not been able to celebrate a Stanley Cup victory since 1967, Centennial Year in Canada. On July 1, 2017 our nation will mark its 150th birthday. There’s not much time left for us Leafs’ fans to win Lord Stanley’s mug before then. With apologies to John Bowes, I have not become a Leafs’ fan because I feel sorry for the lifelong, die-hards. The reason I have turned into a Toronto NHL supporter is simple. It’s because the Leafs have dropped the “enforcers” from their squad this year. The individual or individuals (they can’t correctly be called “players”) who, not knowing the business end of a hockey stick from the butt end, still found places on the Toronto NHL roster in previous campaigns. To me socalled enforcers are really goons whose sole purpose is to go out and tackle those of a similar ilk on the opposing team or, worse yet, goad the best players from the other team into a fight. There is method in the madness of hockey fighting of course. The idea is to wear down the opposition and/or eliminate skilled players by forcing them to go toe-to-toe with someone whose only chance of scoring a goal is if the puck accidentally deflects off their backside in front of the net. This season the Maple Leafs have decided to fill their roster with skilled hockey players. Whether they will be good enough to lead the team to its first Stanley Cup in 48 years is an open question. But to me, someone who abhors fighting in what is supposed to be a skill sport I commend Leafs’ management for taking such a bold step forward. Now, if their action will only influence the remaining 29 teams in the NHL in the same direction they will really have accomplished something. If that happens I may become a Leafs’ die-hard. I have written previously in this space about my belief that fighting has no place in hockey at any level. Deliberately employing people to disrupt our winter national sport by punching and wrestling with them, as NHL teams have done for decades, is ridiculous. Certainly I am not naïve enough to believe fighting will never happen in hockey. I played minor hockey and town league hockey and I realize that in a contact sport tempers are going to flare on occasion and incidents of pushing, shoving and even the

News - Eastern Ontario’s student transportation consortium has achieved the province’s highest rating for efficiency and effectiveness, just three years after its formation by the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) and the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB). The Ministry of Education’s effectiveness and efficiency review of Student Transportation of Eastern Ontario (STEO) concentrated on such things as consortium management, policies and practices, routing and technology, and contracting. The goal of the review was not only to ensure students are safely transported to and from school each day, but to determine if the consortium is operated in an efficient and cost effective manner. In March 2014, Deloitte, the firm leading the review for the Ministry of Education found that the consortium was functioning at an extremely high operational level. “(STEO) has gone from two independently operated transportation departments to a highly effective and efficient integrated consortium,” its June report stated. In fact, it added, STEO “could be emulated by other transportation consortia across the province. The strategies, policies and processes STEO has developed are considered best practices in the industry,” the report said. The consortium operates as a legal corporation with a board of directors drawn from the two school boards — CDSBEO trustees Ron Eamer and Robin Reil and UCDSB trustees Jeff McMillan and David McDonald. The organization is led by chief administrative officer Ron Cotnam. Eamer and Reil have both remarked that the harmonizing of the transportation departments between the two boards has been a much better experience than they anticipated. “We have seen a dramatic improvement from the financial end, in student safety, and development of policies and procedures. Everything is done very professionally,” Eamer said recently. McMillan, who chairs STEO’s board of directors, recently stated, “The consortium has shown the people of eastern Ontario we have a great transportation system that takes students to and from school each day in the most efficient, effective and safest way possible. This should give peace of mind to parents when they put their children on the bus.” STEO employs a staff of 18 at its Commerce Drive headquarters in Johnstown to coordinate the school transportation network for students in the CDSBEO and UCDSB. STEO has 31 bus contractors using 800 vehicles on 1,200 routes. The fleet travels 120,000 km each day in the boards’ 12,000 square kilometre service area, transporting 33,450 students, of which 2,250 have special transportation requirements.

BarnDoor Productions’ 20th anniversary season opens with ‘gem’ of a performance Arts – The first audience member out of the theatre after last Friday’s opening night of Mark Twain’s Patent Scrapbook summed the evening’s entertainment: “It’s a gem!” Mark Twain’s Patent Scrapbook is a one-man show performed by BarnDoor Productions’ (BDP) producing director David Jacklin. It’s a show he first performed as a student actor in 1977, and which he brought back for a countywide tour in 2010, on the centenary of Twain’s death. At that time, the show only had one performance in Perth. When BDP was forced to make a change in their season playbill a few week ago, it seemed a good time to bring the crowd-pleasing “tour de force” back, this time to BDP’s Full Circle Theatre for a full run. Mark Twain’s Patent Scrapbook is, literally, a show that only BarnDoor Productions could bring to the stage. It is fast, funny, always entertaining, sometimes moving, sometimes even scary, but, in the BarnDoor Productions tradition, it is always some of the best theatre that your entertainment money can buy. From Jacklin’s startling physical transformation through a very professional makeup job to the distinctive off-white “Mark Twain” suit to a physical and vocal performance that engages the audience from the beginning, Mark Twain’s Patent Scrapbook is a show that keeps BarnDoor Productions nearly 20-year history of presenting the best

Twenty years of exciting theatre. Perth’s BarnDoor Productions opened their 20th anniversary season last Friday with Mark Twain’s Patent Scrapbook. The show continues the community theatre’s long tradition of exciting community-based entertainment, with some of its past productions highlighted above. Mark Twain’s Patent Scrapbook continues this week, Oct. 23 to 26 at Full Circle Theatre. in community theatre alive. Jacklin’s performance has been called a “tour de force” and “simply astonishing” by playgoers – in an earlier incarnation of the show, his own mother said that she “forgot I was watching my own son up there.” The challenges of a one-man show
are both mental and physical. The concentration and focus needed to hold the stage by yourself for a full evening are something that not many performers can muster, along with the sheer stamina required to maintain the characterization. In particular, this show is a difficult

one moment to raging anger in another, telling stories that involve multiple characters, each with a distinctive voice and all through the character of Mark Twain. In 95 minutes, Mark Twain’s Patent Scrapbook goes on a journey from the shores of the Mississippi River in the 1830s to mining and bronco-busting in the Old West, from Twain’s early success with tall tales like The Celebrated Jumping Frog through his great works like Huckleberry Finn to his late life musings on death, heaven and hell and even a few quotes from beyond the grave, thanks to the 2010 publication of Twain’s autobiography, which was only allowed to be published a century after his death. Going into their 20th anniversary season (which will culminate in their 100th production next April), BDP have lined up a playbill of challenging, exciting and entertaining shows that includes not one but two Pulitzer Prize winners, along with Tony winning plays, Shakespeare and much more. Coming up next, at the end of November and the first week of December, will be a re-mount of their “crazy funny” Christmas show from 2013. Mark Twain’s Patent Scrapbook runs Oct. 23, 24, 25 at 8 p.m. and Oct. 26 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 reserved or $23 at the door, with students and children $10 at any time. For information or to reserve, simply call 613-267-1884. All the information is at www.barndoorproductions.ca.

News – The upcoming municipal election represents an important opportunity to ensure that nature and the many benefits it provides are protected in your community. Why should this matter to you? For starters, nature is fundamental to your health and happiness.

Robust natural heritage systems help to shield us against floods, droughts and biodiversity loss, all anticipated impacts of climate change. They make us more resilient and better able to adapt. Identifying natural heritage systems is a provincial requirement, but it is at the municipal level where the rubber hits the road. Municipal councils determine what is included in natural heritage systems and how and where growth and ensuing development will be accommodated. We need to elect members of council who understand the importance of protecting and restoring our natural assets. Before you go to the polls, find out who will stand up for nature in your community.

News – The following are recent and upcoming events being held by the Lanark Wild Food Club (LWFC). Sad news, Ted Mosquin has informed me that we will probably have to wait until next year to find honey mushrooms. We were out Sunday, Oct. 19 and only managed to find two small ones in an hour and a half. Better luck next year. More positive news is that George White led a large group from our partner organization, Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust (MMLT) at High Lonesome on Saturday, Oct. 18 on a mushroom hunt and taught us lots about how delicate ecosystems work and also mentioned that heavy harvesting of mushrooms in Europe has led to concern about sustainability. All the more reason for us to continue stewarding the land responsibly. Thanks for your guidance, George.

slice of cheese. Place an even layer of apples on cheese, then top with second cheese slice. Cover with remaining slices of bread to make four sandwiches. In medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Pour into shallow dish large enough to hold one sandwich. In large non-stick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Dip sandwich into egg mixture,
turning to soak (don’t over soak). Add two sandwiches to skillet at a time and cook until golden brown on both sides, tow to three minutes per side. Cut in half and serve with maple syrup. Tip: One or two dayold stale bread is ideal for French toast as fresh bread absorbs too much liquid,
making it soggy. Nutritional information (one serving): • Protein: 24 grams • Fat: 25 grams • Carbs: 66 grams • Calories: 588 • Fibre: 4 grams • Sodium: 850 mg Courtesy of Foodland Ontario.

Three days remain to catch Educating Rita at the Station Theatre Arts – Rolling in on a wave of audience approval, the cast of Educating Rita offers patrons of the Smiths Falls Station Theatre who missed the play in the first week of production a chance to see this delightful comedy in the second week of the run. The award-winning stage play will be performed at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 24 and 25, and at 2 p.m. on Oct. 26. Educating Rita tells the story of two people who are struggling to find meaning in life by overcoming obstacles that prevent them from being truly fulfilled. In a program note, director Jamie Schoular writes: “Even though the play is set in England, and deals with the limitations imposed by the British class system, the themes it presents are ones that are universal. The success of our interpretation of the story is due mainly to the hard work of the actors, Michael Adams and Katharine Coleman. Their dedication to the task of memorizing the massive amount of dialogue and developing their charac-
ters has paid off in a performance that brings Frank and Rita and their story to life.” And from what we heard, playgoers agree with the director’s take: “Excellent.” “Really good.” “Very enjoyable.” “Amazing how the actors handled so many lines and delivered them without a hitch.” Those are just some of the comments coming from first week audiences not to mention the standing ovation at Sunday’s matinee. Tickets are $20 for adults and for students (with ID) $10, with special group rates also available. Call The Station Theatre at 613-283-0300 for details. Tickets can be purchased at Special Greetings, 8 Russell St. East, Smiths Falls, cash only; from our website (smithsfallstheatre.com) via Paypal/Visa/Mastercard; by phone at 613283-0300 via Visa/Mastercard; or at the door (subject to availability) half-hour before the performance – cash only.

Cinderella comes to Carleton Place Town Hall for the Christmas season Arts – “You have to believe we are magic. Nothing can stand in our way,” so sings the Fairy Godmother to Cinderella as she tells her, “You shall my child go to the ball.” And so can you! We want to tell you how. There is a wonderful Carleton Place Christmas season tradition and we don’t want you to miss it. What is this 25-year-old tradition? It’s the Mississippi Mudds family musical comedy. If you have British roots, you will know it as the Christmas Panto. And it is back again for Christmas 2014. Oh yes, it is! Full of popular music, riotous comedy, colourful costumes, props, sets and special effects, these shows are always built around a happily ever after story. And this year’s Cinderella has all the traditions, plus some up-todate twists to keep you smiling and your toes tapping. This version of the Cinderella
story, written by John Crocker, a well-respected panto playwright, has the usual protagonists, as well as some more outlandish characters. Carleton Place’s own Molly Cooney plays Cinderella and Clifford Glas from Smiths Falls, plays her prince. These two grade 11 students have been honing their considerable acting and singing skills for several years already and bring flair and style to these traditional characters. Watch for veterans of the local stage Peter Meyer and Brian McManus dressed to kill as the ugly sisters. Their boudoir scene may just be worth the price of admission right there. Mudds newcomers Kyle Booth plays the faithful servant Buttons and Jennifer Vorano plays Miss Muffet, along with Mudds veterans Mike Lieff as Dandini, Jim MacGregor as the King, Karen Lapointe as the Baron, Trish Smith as the Fairy Godmother and Jenny Pfitzer, Kathleen Everett and Mary Alexander as the clownish brokers
accompanist Peter Brown. With expert guidance and inspiration from our music director Tony Stuart, our singers are in good hands. With such full choral numbers such as Good Morning Starshine, Nine to Five, Can I Have This Dance and Thank You For Being A Friend and solo or small group arrangements of pieces by Michael Buble, The Beatles, The Bare Naked Ladies, Randy Newman and ABBA, the show is sure to be a crowd pleaser. This full cast of 29 amateur Submitted photo actors and singers, supported by Dobbin the horse will join Mississippi Mudds actors and an accomplished five-piece band, singers in Cinderella for their traditional Christmas family plus a full team of technical wizards and production staff, is ready musical comedy this year.

Kerri Kerri is a lovely grey and white one and a half year-old female cat. She arrived in March and has been with the other cats since then. She loves to sit up high on the scratch pole so she can oversee what is happening below her. She snoozes a lot, but when awake she loves to go bird watching. Kerri is very friendly and is one of those cats sadly being overlooked as she’s not outgoing enough (yet). However when you approach her she loves a belly rub and will reward you with a soft purr. Please come to meet this young lady.

Time to submit nominations for Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year awards The award program is open to Ontario residents who are at least six years of age but no older than 17 as of Nov. 30. Youngsters who are involved in worthwhile community projects and services or have achieved amazing things in school, on the field or elsewhere or have performed an act of heroism during the past year could be nominated. Children and young adults who contribute to the com-
munity while living with physical or psychological limitations could also be selected for the honour. In essence, an ideal candidate for junior citizen could be a good kid and future leader who does more for others than what would be expected of a person his or her age. Up to 12 nominees will receive the Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Award. The provincial awards will
be presented in Toronto in the spring. Each nominee will receive certificate of recognition from the local paper. Nomination forms are available at www.ocna.org/juniorcitizen and at the Smiths Falls Record News, Perth Courier, Carleton Place Almonte Canadian Gazette and Kemptville Advance office at 65 Lorne Street in Smiths Falls.

1970 Chevy Nova SS: Owner bought it twice and sold it once! Lifestyle – A letter arrived recently from John Schwartzenburg of Guelph, Ontario: “Hi Bill. This is the story of my 1970 Chevy Nova SS. This car is powered by its original L78 396/375 hp engine and Turbo 400 transmission on the column, along with 12bolt 4:10 Posi rear end. This engine is factory-equipped with a steel crank, 11:1 domed pistons, solid lifter camshaft, and 780 Holley carb. It will run very consistently in the low 13 seconds quarter mile times. “I bought this car in August 1973 from the second owner with 5000 miles on it for $3300.00. T he original owner was Dave Kurtz. This car was sold new at J. Holland Chev-Olds in Burlington, Ontario, with a shipping date of December 1969. It is one of 3025 shipped to Canada with this engine. “This car is a very basic Nova SS 396/375 with bench seat, rubber floor mats, automatic on column, radio delete and tinted windows. The car is original except for a few performance bolt-ons. The engine or trans have never been apart. It now has 49,700 original miles and never winter driven. “I sold it to my brother in 1990 but he never drove it or changed
the ownership over. I bought it back in 2001, then had it repainted in its original Green Mist. It still has its original black interior, brake lines, and even the original T-3 sealed beam headlights it has had since leaving the factory at Willow Run. “The car is a pleasure to drive even if it does only get eight miles to the gallon. It is a serious classic muscle car I never intend to part with again.” The Chevy Nova nameplate first appeared as the top-of-the-line version of the 1962 Chevy II, introduced that year to help fill the gap between the compact rear-engine Corvair and the full-size Chevrolets. The new Chevy II came with a four or six cylinder engine, but the Nova 400 came with only a six with 194 cubic inches cranking out 120 horsepower. By 1970, the Chevy Nova was available with a four, six, or V8 engine. Options included simulated bright vertical cowl side louvers, in-thewindshield radio antenna, and new

The Nova SS package included a 350 or 396 V8 engine, dual exhausts, power front disc brakes, a simulated air intake on the hood, simulated front fender louvers, bright accents, hood insulation, and SS emblems.
The Nova nameplate lasted until 1979, after which other GM cars took its place. I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O.

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER
They have recently released an easy to use guide called the ‘Road to Buying a Car in Ontario’. This interactive web-based tool provides a lot of information in a condensed format. Terry O’Keefe, OMVIC’s director of communications and education, describes it as a “how-to roadmap which serves as a core checklist that maps out the buying process in an engaging, easy-to-understand format. It identifies information vehicle buyers should seek, or are entitled to get, at each stage of acquiring their cars, motorcycles or trucks – whether from an OMVIC-Registered Dealer or a private seller.” “This new tool is especially important and timely for Canadian newcomers and first-time car buyers,” adds O’Keefe. “These groups are most at risk and they need to know and ask the right questions. This gives them the basics and understanding of how they are protected under the law by the Motor Vehicle Dealers Act (MVDA).” You can find the Road to Buying a Car in Ontario by logging onto www.omvic.on.ca and selecting the ‘consumers’ tab at the bottom of the home page.
of technology on today’s vehicles along with higher repair bills, consumers buying from a curbsider can often be left with a worthless vehicle stranded in their driveway with nothing to show for their money. The Ontario Motor Vehicle Industry Council (OMVIC) is Ontario’s vehicle sales regulator and provides a large slate of resources and consumer protection for new and used car shoppers who purchase from licensed retailers. They are mandated by the Ontario government to ensure that auto dealers operate under a strict code of conduct that covers just about every aspect of buying or leasing a new or pre-owned vehicle. For the most part their work goes unseen by the majority of auto buyers, but they do offer direct assistance to consumers and their website at www.omvic.on.ca is a great information resource for anyone, espe- Tip of the week cially those shopping for their first While the colours of fall are vehicle. particularly spectacular this time
of year, falling leaves can provide more than one problem to our vehicles. If you park under or near any of our common deciduous trees the leaves that land on your car can block cabin heater intakes leading to poor windshield defrosting. If they get wet, they can cause a real musty odour in your vehicle. Take the time to pop the hood and clean out the leaves as they accumulate to avoid troubles. And remember, wet leaves on the road provide about as much traction to our vehicles’ tires as white or black ice (meaning none). So when winding down a country lane or curving residential street, drive carefully when approaching wet leaves.

Lifestyle – Almost everyone has, or knows someone who has, a horror story about buying a new or used vehicle. Whether they thought they paid too much, or were faced with a major repair bill, or found out after the fact they purchased a patched-together collision writeoff, their tales of woe could fill a country mile of bad roads. Fortunately for the most part these transactions go without a hitch but when things go wrong, they can often put the buyer in the ditch financially, emotionally, and sometimes literally. One of the biggest risks consumers face is buying a used car from a private seller. With the prevalence of online want ads unscrupulous sellers can gain access to a large marketplace at no cost or trouble. The term ‘curbsider’ comes up often in discussions and reports on used vehicle deals gone bad. A curbsider is an individual posing as a private seller but who in reality purchases and flips or sells many vehicles each year. They often obtain vehicles from wholesale or insurance auctions or from private owners and do some cosmetic touch-ups and baling-wire mechanical patches so they can pass off their creampuffs to an unsuspecting buyer. With the ever increasing amount

MOVIE: The Book of Life STARRING: Diego Luna, Zoe Saldana, Channing Tatum, Christina Applegate, Ron Perlman and Kate del Castillo DIRECTOR: Jorge R. Gutierrez RATING: G Entertainment – The Book of Life is a surprisingly complex and layered film. Plus I had no idea Mexico was the centre of the universe. Long ago there were three friends, Manolo (Diego Luna), Joaquin (Channing Tatum) and Maria (Zoe Saldana). On the Day of the Dead two gods, the kind and good La Muerte and her estranged husband the dark and evil Xibalba, take notice of the three friends. The two make a wager regarding which boy Maria will marry. If Xibalba wins he will claim La Muerte’s realm, the joyous Land of the Remembered, and leave her his own depressing realm the Land of the Forgotten. However, if La Muerte wins then Xibalba must stop meddling in the mortal realm.
her affection almost immediately though neither realizes what’s truly at stake as the two gods watch on. The Book of Life is a delightful film that takes a simple love story and weaves through it an epic tale of adventure and heroism. We begin in a small Mexican town, then travel through the mythological realms of the dead on an incredible quest. Then it all comes together in a battle of good versus evil with the fate of the universe in the balance. There’s adventure and danger. There’s friendship and love. There’s good and evil. There’s family and honour, and there’s being true to oneself. Channing Tatum nails the heroic if sometimes selfish Joaquin. Zoe Saldana provides the fire for Maria. Ron Perlman and Kate del Castillo are fantastic as the gods. Diego Luna not only gives Manolo his voice he gives him his soul. The Book of Life is a deep and meaningful story. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.
My Take
Mark haskins
Xibalba picks Joaquin as his champion, and blesses him with a medal that makes him invulnerable. La Muerte chooses Manolo as her champion, and blesses him with a pure and courageous heart. Then the three friends are parted for a time when Maria is sent to school. Joaquin becomes a great hero responsible for defeating numerous bandits across Mexico. Manolo has all the makings of one of the greatest bullfighters of all time, but there are two things that stop him. One he doesn’t want to be a bullfighter he wants to be a musician, and two, he refuses to kill the bull. When Maria returns she comes back as a beautiful, intelligent and strong-willed young woman. The two boys begin competing for

Four Seasons tribute in Perth Nov. 8 Arts – On Saturday, Nov. 8 at 8 p.m., The Studio Theatre in Perth will present Walk Like a Man, a tribute to the hugely popular New Jersey-based recording stars Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons. The show features 23-yearold singing sensation Paul Fracassi, a former Star Search and Canadian Idol semi-finalist. A graduate of Toronto’s famous St. Elizabeth School for The Performing Arts, his energy, vocal range and showmanship are always a big hit. Fracassi’s backup band, featuring some of Toronto’s top musicians, provides the famous backbeat and vocal harmonies of The Four Seasons, with a thrilling fidelity that will make you feel you’re discovering them for the first time. Walk Like a Man was inspired Submitted photo by Jersey Boys, the hit movie Paul Fracassi, above, will and stage play about the life and times of The Four Seasons. But headline The Four Seasons the songs are all that the two tribute Nov. 8 in Perth.
P C O
entities share. Walk Like a Man is a sixties-style concert that presents a nostalgic look at The Four Seasons’ amazing body of work. Fracassi’s show, featuring the group’s best-loved hits, is the kind of show that made the young Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Nick Massi and Tommy DeVito rich and famous. It may someday do the same for Fracassi. The show, produced by Merv Buchanan, features all of The Four Seasons’ hits, including December ‘63, Sherry, Big Girls Don’t Cry, Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You, Dawn and of course, Walk Like a Man. Tickets to the show are $30, including all taxes and fees and are now available at Shadowfax, 67 Foster Street, in Perth. You can order by phone at 613-2676817, toll-free at 1-800-5182729 or online at shadowfax. on.ca. Major credit cards are accepted. Submitted by Merv Buchanan. R0012952556_1023
Invitation
Please join us to launch a new program available to seniors WHO • Primary Care Outreach to Seniors
WHAT • New Program for Seniors Launch
WHERE
• North Lanark Community Health Centre 207 Robertson Drive, Lanark
WHEN
• Tuesday October 28th, 2014 9:30a.m. - 10:30a.m.
• We are excited to let the community and our care partners know about this important new WHY service that will help frail seniors, who may be isolated or at risk of hospitalization, maintain their health and independence.
COMMUNITY SUPPORT DES ATTR... AYING IT FORWAR...SNIOR HLPING SNIOR Volunteers really are the heart and soul of any charitable organization and Mills Community Support is no exception. Currently, over 220 volunteers give freely of their talents, their goodwill and their time, to ensure that the organization can provide quality services to over 1000 people living in Lanark County. The graphic on this page shows just how many volunteer jobs there are to be done in the organization, and there are a lot. But the number of volunteer occupations isn’t actually the most interesting part. Who these people are and why they do it is what is interesting. Here’s a few facts: • over 75% of those who volunteer with Mills Community Support are seniors; • a signicant number of those are actually over the age of 80; and, • one of the regular volunteers will celebrate her 92nd birthday in December. In other words, they are actually seniors helping seniors.... What motivates these volunteers is as individual as are the people who do it, and the Mills Community Support volunteers have many reasons for what they do. Having said that though, their motivations are primarily ones in keeping with maintaining their independence through a healthy and active lifestyle as was discussed in a previous article. They say that volunteering keeps them active and engaged in their community, keeps their minds busy and fresh, provides opportunities for getting together socially with others, and allows them to help those who need it, which in turn makes them feel like a contributing member of a community. One of our volunteer drivers said “They need a drive now and I can provide it. Someday it may be me who will need that drive.” That truly is paying it forward, in advance. Community Support month really is a time to celebrate what these organizations do and a big part of that truly is the people who make it happen. Without the thousands of dedicated volunteers, many of them seniors, few of the programs and services that are so benecial to our aging population could be implemented. Why not take a moment this week to say thank you to a volunteer in your community or, become one yourself...your opportunity awaits. R0012958102_1023

News – World Food Day was celebrated in the streets of Perth on Oct. 16, as The Table Community Food Centre set up their kitchen on Gore Street, just outside Perth Town Hall. Judy Dempsey, head chef at The Table, along with volunteer Cynthia Bond, created their stone soup (based on the fable of the same name) throughout the afternoon. “It is our way to celebrate World Food Day,” said Dempsey. “People have been dropping off their vegetables and we’ve added some of our own and we’re creating a soup to feed about 75 people later today – all free of charge.” Donations were accepted, however, and the women were having fun preparing their vegetables while passersby were treated to the aromatic smells of the brewing soup along with snippets of the stone soup tale. A weary traveller comes to a town where food is a scarcity. The townfolk hide what food they have and turn the stranger away. It didn’t matter to the traveler though, as he puts a large pot of water on a fire and adds a smooth stone to the pot, stating that he is making a delicious pot of stone soup. Curious, people of the town want to know more. While delicious on its own, the soup would be so much better with a bit of cabbage, says the traveller. One of the locals brings forward a bit of cabbage to add to the pot. The traveller is pleased and mentions that the soup might be even tastier with a few carrots and another community member comes forward with carrots. This continues on with more and more people coming forward to add more vegetables and seasoning until there is a rich, delicious soup for everyone to share together. A town suffering from scarcity finds it has more than enough food for everyone. “We are celebrating local seasonal food… sharing the bounty that is all around us,” said Dempsey. “It’s been going really well. When we first came up with this idea, the town was on board right away and we just ran with it.” At the end of the day, the stone soup event had some special guests. Members of their Sprouting Chefs after school program were on hand to dish up the soup and serve it. It is The Table’s intention to make this an annual event. “We have this program for kids eight to 12 years of age, and it’s after school, free of charge for anyone. There are two sessions: one in the fall and another in the new year, but people can call us for more information about it.”

Club and Rotary initiatives like their reading program in schools, food drive and dance. He’s also a volunteer fire fighter, a member of the Perth Community Development Committee, on the Perth’s 200th Legacy Project as chair, and is a member of St. Paul’s United Church. “When I was told I was going to be receiving this tonight, my initial thought was that I didn’t deserve it. I’m too young. There are much more deserving people in this room who are over 40,” said an emotional Dean who was joined on stage by his wife, and “best friend” Cara Dean. “But then I thought, there had to be something I could say to make this worth while… or I could say thanks and leave it at that. But I think I am meant to be hear for a reason.” Dean expressed his family’s desire to make a change in the community he lives and works… and plays. He wanted to spread his message of commitment to doing things he loves and for the love of others. “If there is something I can leave you with it’s three things,” he said. “One: find the inspiration as to why you want to volunteer. My grandfather had the greatest impact on me in that respect. He said when you give to others, what you receive back is 10 times greater.” The second thing, is making time
to volunteer. “If you wait to find the time, it won’t happen,” Dean said. “You have to make the time to volunteer.” The third, and perhaps his most important message is to make volunteering a family thing. “Make it a family priority. My best friend, Cara, is right here beside me and we both believe that giving back to the community is crucial. “Getting our kids involved is also important. They help us with roadside clean-up, selling sandwiches, doing the Rotary food drive, planting trees, canvassing for cancer.” The list is endless for this family, but Dean was quick to encourage others to pay it forward and share those ideas with him as he said he’d be glad to hear from them. “Just try and help and enjoy the feeling you get when you help others,” he said. “It will make you feel good… and you never know, your actions may inspire others.” Other award recipients’ stories appear elsewhere in this newspaper.

The Business Achievement Award, presented by Kevin Hoover of The Perth Courier, went to Michael McLean of McLean Insurance.
McLean Insurance is this year’s best in business chamber award winner Laurie Weir
ljweir@metroland.com
Business - The Perth and District Chamber of Commerce recognized McLean Insurance as this year’s Business Achievement of the Year recipient. Michael McLean accepted the award from Perth Courier’s Kevin Hoover, advertising consultant at the newspaper and sponsor of this award. “This is better than the Leafs winning the Stanley Cup,” McLean said upon accepting the award on Oct. 15 at the annual awards dinner at Farrell Hall. From his young entrepreneurial days as a window washer on Gore Street, and even earlier than that, learning about hard work and dedication from his parents who ran a general store in Fallbrook, McLean said some of his most important life lessons were learned as a youngster. “My father always told me that 90 per cent of success is showing up (at work),” he said. It wasn’t until he had his hand in the Smiths Falls Jr. A Bears franchise that his mother convinced him that he should join forces with his father, Frank McLean, and work in the insurance business. That happened in 2002. “My dad is 82 and he works every day,” McLean said. “And working alongside my father has been the best business decision I ever made.” Since purchasing the Perth Jr. B Blue Wings more than a year ago, McLean said that has been a labour of love, working with an army of volunteers
and bringing people out to Friday night games, “because this is a hockey town.” He stressed that winning the award was a “total team effort” that included the staff at McLean Insurance and his family. In his description of the Business Achievement Award, Hoover stressed that the recipient must need to show the impact on the community, investment in the town, its community service, and exemplary and ethical responsibility to business practices. “As have all the recipients of this award in the past shown this, so has this year’s recipient,” Hoover said. The family-owned, local business has grown five times in size since Michael McLean purchased the business from his father 2005. It has grown from four employees to 21 employees today. McLean Insurance is celebrating its 42nd year in business in Perth. The company is a local supporter of various community organizations including Perth Minor Hockey, The Perth & District Food Bank, The Rotary Club of Perth, The Perth Fair, Stewart Park Festival, Perth Lions Club, Lanark Animal Welfare Society, Mel’s Animal Rescue – and the Perth Blue Wings Junior Hockey Club. Father Frank McLean has been a Perth and District Chamber of Commerce member for over 55 years. Michael McLean is married to Krista, and they have a daughter, Emery, and golden retriever, Avery.

News - This year’s Young Entrepreneur Award was received by Kyle Woods of the Masonry Restaurant during the annual Perth and District Chamber of Commerce awards night Oct. 15. An advocate of growing local flavours and supporting our farmers and producers, Woods was appreciative of the recognition. “The focus is on local businesses, farmers and producers,” he said. “We need to advocate for this and it’s not only healthier for our bodies but for our communities as well. It’s about investing in our futures. We have a social responsibility to lend an hand wherever possible and give back the best way we can.” Presented by Robert Dyke of Valley Heartland (sponsor of the award), the Young Entrepreneur Award had a list of six nominees. Dyke noted some of the criteria for this award included the magnitude of the business contribution, degree of positive economic impact on the community, and community service on the part of the business or its employees. Business Accreditation Certificates There were 14 businesses that received accreditation for their four courses of study at Algonquin College, Perth Campus, which was provided to them free of charge by the chamber. They were accredited in customer service, human resources and employment standards, website and marketing and business practices. Due to the success of the courses, look for more in the near future that include conflict resolution, business law, business writing, selling and salesmanship. Businesses included: Barnabe’s Your Independent Grocer, Brownlee’s Metro, Carolina Retirement Suites, Clarith Collectables, Embers, Ground Waves, Kelly’s Flowers and Gift Boutique, Maximillian Restaurant, Modern Baby Children’s Boutique, Perth and District Athletic Centre and Martial Arts Club, Perth and District Portable Toilet Rentals, Scotiabank, Sound Hardwood, Tay River Reflections, the Masonry Restaurant and WOW Fit. Randy Hillier, MPP for Lanark - Frontenac - Lennox and Addington, was the keynote speaker for the evening. In his address, he spoke about the similarities and the polarities of the statutes of Ontario (the complete set of laws in Ontario) from 1982 to today’s ‘Pocket Edition’ of provincial offenses. “It doesn’t matter who is in power,” he said. “Those who strive to succeed make our communities a better place to live and work.” He gave kudos to the award recipients and recognized their strengths in the community. He also recognized Terry Lee, owner of Farrell Hall and all the work that went into the dinner; the chamber of commerce, including general manager Pauline Fitchett, president Pat Wiseman, and the rest of the board, staff and volunteers, for all their work at promoting Perth and district businesses. “Thank you... all of you, for what you do and have done for your community.”

OPINION
Connected to your community
My sticky note memory Opinion - I often tell people that in order for me to be able to retain a new piece of information, something else has to leak out of my brain to make room. I believe this. I think people’s names are the things that leak out. Mostly. I read an interesting article on the weekend that made me feel a little bit better about the fact I sometimes think my brain is going to explode. The article, called “Information overload is hurting our brains,” appeared in the Ottawa Citizen on Saturday. It was written by Peter Robb and discussed a new book called The Organized Mind by Daniel J. Levitin. Levitin is a psychologist and neuroscientist and he believes humanity is facing the consequences of being on information overload. His latest book refers to a “biological drive toward order and symmetry that goes back 200 million years.” Birds and rodents decorate the entrance to their nests in a symmetrical way. If they go away and see something out of place when they return, it’s an alarm system showing an enemy had been there. Simple and orderly. We all know information comes a lot faster today than it used to. As a kid I wrote long letters to friends that we exchanged by mail over weeks. Now, in seconds, I exchange brief (sometimes poorly proofread) texts. The example Levitin provides is our technological advancement. First was fire, then 10,000 years later came the wheel, then 10,000 years after that came agriculture. “A decade ago, Google estimated that there were 30 exabytes of accumulated human information. It estimates there are 300 exabytes now,” Levitin says. I don’t know what an exabyte is, but it sounds like way too much stuff to remember. Levitin says dealing with too much information leads to stress, poor health and “mental cloudiness that impairs judgment.” This, he explains, can be reflected in even simple tasks, such as responding to emails that require a decision. Even small decisions, such as whether to deal with it now or later or forward it or whatever, have to be dealt with by our brain biology, and he says our brains aren’t built to distinguish very well between small decisions and big ones. See? This is why I sometimes feel as if I need a nap when it comes to deciding what to make for dinner.
Past Deadline
STEPHANIE GRAY
This is, apparently, not as big a problem if you have staff. He goes on to describe why it’s important for someone who has to make a lot of big decisions, such as prime ministers and presidents, to be protected from the little decisions. The White House, for example, has a system of filtering information that protects the president from overload. See? I’ve always contended I need staff. Levitin went on to do a great deal of research to determine what sorts of things people could do that might help. One item that resonated with me was his suggestion about externalizing things. “Get things out of your head if you can.” He mentioned a famous guy (I didn’t know him) who would hear a weather report calling for rain and would immediately place an umbrella by the front door. Decision made. “There are dozens of ways to do that. Write notes, put the information on a calendar. Getting it out of your head is good because your head has a limited capacity.” I already try to do this. That’s why there are lists, notes, calendars and BlackBerry reminders populating my days. I even have a reminder to pick up Girlchild from a weekly activity. Seriously. I get distracted by shiny things and I’m worried I might forget. He also suggests doing our most important stuff early in the day because that’s when our neurochemistry is at its best, and to know what questions to ask when making decisions. He says the part of our brain “that governs immediate working memory is actually limited to four thoughts at a time.” See? That explains a few multitasking fails. While I now understand why I am sometimes paralyzed when it comes to decision making, I’m not sure if this can help me much with remembering names. It’s excruciating. I could try externalizing it – perhaps my students wouldn’t mind if I stuck sticky-note nametags to their foreheads each week? I still think having staff would be better.

When life lands you in court, review your path
O
pinion - It’s amazing what you overhear in court. And this is before the court is even in session. Remember back in high school when the teacher would tell you that delays and unprepared behaviour would not be tolerated in the real world? Well, sitting in the Ontario Court of Justice in Perth last Friday, court was supposed to start at 9:30 a.m., according to the docket. More than an hour later, I was still waiting. On previous occasions, usually on the busy Monday mornings, when the weekend’s disturbances found their way before a judge, it was not unusual to hear that some defence lawyer was unprepared and would ask for the high school equivalent of two days grace, and would get an extension of a week or so. Welcome to the real world, I guess. I was seated there to follow up on a case that, as is sadly the norm, has been snaking its way through our court sys-
DESMOND DEVOY Des Says tem over the months, and will not likely be heard until at least a year after the alleged incident took place. So that’s why I was there. My mother loves Maeve Binchy who, like herself, is an Irishwoman. Reading her posthumous collection of columns from The Irish Times it is eerie how much Binchy’s voice sounds exactly like my mother’s. Binchy’s greatest source of inspiration, she said, came from overhearing people’s conversations on the bus (comedian Lewis Black, however, said that a conversation he overheard about how a girl getting into college because of her horse nearly made his head explode.)

in the country, there are countless tragedies taking place. Seldom are you ever in court for a good reason. At the back of the court, a young man sat chatting with his family. Some of what he said was a sad litany not unlike Tupac Shakur’s “Thugz Mansion,” lament that he - Shakur that is - was “tired of getting shot at/ Tired of getting chased by the police and arrested.” This young man was talking about being hassled by the local cops but, after a few minutes, he blurted out: “I’m going to teach my kids to be nerds,” he said. “They (nerds) are all super successful now,” he said, some of them even serving us as cops. Then, as the clerks shuffled papers at the front of the court, the cold autumn morning light filtering in, he said, “If I could rewind time, I would’ve taken another way, instead of this way.” He said so much in such a few sentences.

Freeman disavows views of candidate
Revisit Foster Street banners DEAR EDITOR:
Today in my Perth Courier (October 16, 2014) I find three letters to the editor related to the issue of the wish by some lobby group to fly an anti-pornography banner over Foster Street. I remember being surprised to see that banner last year and reflecting that it seemed odd. Frankly, I felt it was a bit of an embar-

rassment for a town like Perth, and I add my voice in support of Mayor Fenik’s view that banners over Foster Street should serve the purpose of promoting Perth’s festivals and events. Some may perceive the flying of an anti-pornography banner as something against which no civilized person could argue - but really? If that lobby group can fly its banner, why not one announcing the evils of capitalism and greed or the evils of global warming or the evils of carbon extraction and pollution? Would the town council condone the flying of a banner by an anti-abortion group... or a pro-abortion group? There is no end to the causes for which Foster Street could become a billboard. I join all concerned citizens in condemning child pornography, but if the town of Perth is considering condoning this banner, I would think it only fair to first call a public meeting to hear alternative proposals from all of us as to what messages should be proclaimed over Foster Street. I suspect that the town council would be kept busy for a decade. Neville Wells Perth

dian citizens. She is neither a religious zealot nor does she represent any religious organization. Smith’s presentation was widely publicized in Perth and area through posters, newspaper, radio and social media. All citizens were welcome to attend this public and free event. The presentation was an opportunity to raise awareness of the scope and harm that pornography poses to our society and to provide tools of support. The information presented by Smith was factual, informative, helpful and frightening. It most certainly was not a message of “hate, intolerance or censorship”. Before one can sensibly comment on any issue, it is essential to gather all of the facts and information. An ill-informed opinion adds nothing to the conversation and cannot be taken seriously. We encourage (readers) to research this issue and learn why concerned citizens of Perth are engaged in the campaign to protect our community from the harms posed by pornography. If you do so with an open mind, you will better understand the position of the Be Aware Coalition. It is everyone’s responsibility to do what we can to protect children, women and youth from an industry that exploits and robs them of their dignity, freedom and wellbeing.

This is a response to MP Joy Smith’s public presentation on Combating Exploitation - Protecting our Youth, which was an event organized by the Be Aware Coalition as part of our BE AWARE PORN HARMS 2014 campaign. It is also to address concerns raised by letter writers on this topic. The Be Aware Coalition is a community-based, non-profit organization comprised of citizens of Perth and area that addresses social justice issues. It is not a religious organization nor does it preach a moral code. It works together with businesses, schools, the Town of Perth, churches and concerned citizens from all walks of life. The coalition actively participates along with other community groups and citizens in the international BE AWARE PORN HARMS campaign that takes place this year from Oct. 20 to 27. Documented research from experts all over the world has clearly shown that pornography is a global health issue and one that all people who care about the welfare of children, women and youth should be concerned about.

Can taxes really remain unchanged?
DEAR EDITOR:
Apparently finance chief Ed McPherson has had discussions with Lang Britchford, town treasurer, concerning the possibility of “a zero-per-cent tax increase for the town’s operations budget” (Finance chief Ed McPherson seeks re-election, Perth Courier, October 2, 2014, Page 4). Does this mean that when 2015 tax bills arrive there will be no increase in the dollar amount that residential property owners must fork over to town hall? Simply put, a residential property owner’s tax bill has four com-
ponents – the municipal, county, and education tax rates, and the assessed value. The dollar value of taxes owed for each category (the municipal, county, and education levy) is the product of the tax rate (for each category) times the assessed value. McPherson has no control over the county and education tax rates nor does he have any control over one’s assessed value (MPAC determines assessed values). The only item McPherson has control over is the municipal tax rate. As MPAC pushes assessed value up year by year, for the municipal

the upward path of assessed values will he be able to fulfill his promise of a “zero-per-cent tax increase for the town’s operations budget”. Of course behind such a promise will also be his ability to gain efficiencies in the town’s operations, which would permit a falling tax rate that could offset a rising assessment rate. I have doubts as to whether it is really possible to line up all these variables in such a way that one’s tax levy in 2015 will remain unchanged. Ross Preston Perth

tax levy to remain unchanged the municipal tax rate must fall by an amount that yields an unchanged municipal tax levy. Notwithstanding, between 2013 and 2014, in one case that I know of, although the municipal rate did fall by 2.53 per cent, the assessed value increased by 5.43 per cent, resulting in a net increase in the tax levy of 2.76 per cent. With the current forecast of house prices on the positive side, one can expect assessed values to continue their upward climb.

If you attended the recent Lanark all-candidates’ meeting, you know that there were two or three contentious issues raised by people in the audience. One of them was the relationship between council and staff – a subject about which a number of rather nasty rumours have been circulating. As someone who has been senior staff to a municipal council, and who has also sat on many boards (which function like a governing council) I’d like to offer the facts about what that relationship is intended to be. First: staff and council have distinct and different roles. Think about it: if they didn’t, why would taxpayers be asked to pay the salaries of both sets of people? The roles of staff are: • to provide council members with information and unbiased analysis of issues being considered by council, in a timely manner;
• on council’s instruction, to prepare requests for proposals on contracts. If those roles are not carried out adequately, impartially and in a timely manner, staff members are not doing their job. Senior staff members are responsible for making sure that the people who report to them are doing their jobs, while they themselves are accountable to council for breaches of that responsibility. The roles of council members are: • to hire senior staff and give them clear directions • to carefully review all documentation prepared for them by staff; • to question staff on all reports brought to them. Council members – not staff – ‘carry the can’ for official decisions, since they can be called to account for those decisions by the voters (as staff cannot be). Susan Berlin Lanark County

Quotes sought for guard rails all the way down Riverside Drive desmond.devoy@metroland.com
News – Perth is moving forward with obtaining quotes for a guard rail along Riverside Drive. Perth town council heard during their committee-of-the-whole meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 7, that the money for the estimated $70,000 cost would be drawn from the existing year-end 2014 budget surplus. “I’m 100 per cent behind this,� said Coun. Jim Boldt, before querying environmental services director Grant Machan about how the $70,000 anticipated cost was arrived at before any quotes had been submitted. Machan replied that that cost was based on unit costs from previous rail projects of similar length. “This came out of a discussion that the reeve of Drummond/North Elmsley (DNE), Aubrey Churchill, and our respective CAOs (had),� said Mayor John Fenik. However, the mayor stressed that closing the road and making it into a “low maintenance park,� with Evans Road in DNE Township being extended to service the spa at the end of Riverside Drive being “my preference to pitch to council.� However, the Evans Road extension proposal was defeated by DNE council. Fenik also dismissed other proposed ideas, such as paving Riverside Drive. “I would see a fully paved stretch as more dangerous as it would attract speeders,� said Fenik. As for the “final vision of that road, I am not sure.� He stressed that DNE would carry one third of the cost, so, out of a suggested $70,000 price tag, Perth would pay only $46,662. “I think the railing is okay,� said Deputy Mayor John Gemmell, but he was not sold on paving the road.
Coun. Jim Graff agreed with Gemmell and Fenik about paving the road, stating that doing so, with the addition of guardrails, would make the road “become the Indy 500.� He added that “there really is no developable land,� in the area and that, with the spa being located in DNE, for paving, “the cost is too much for an area that does not pay any tax (in Perth).� Machan’s report to council found that about 150 cars per day use that roadway. It was also pointed out that while Perth covers winter maintenance on the road, DNE does summer grinding for the road. Machan also informed council that the future of the road will be addressed in the upcoming transportation master plan. Fenik agreed with Graff that while the spa at the end of the road does not pay taxes in Perth, it does Desmond Devoy / METROLAND act as a draw to the area, with patrons later likely going shopping or to restaurants in Perth. He also The existing guard rails along the roadway at the curve from Evans Road to Riverside suggested that, rather than full paving, chip-and-tar Drive will soon be added to with railing all the way down to Craig Street. or other options could be looked at. “We are keeping our citizens healthy through the use of this spa,� Fenik said. He did caution however that, with the roadway still being only about two metres away from the Tay waters, “I cannot guarantee that, no matter what you do,� that a “tragic accident,� could still happen. “You just never know,� Fenik said. “I’m not saying it is unsafe,� said Boldt. “(But) we have to do things to make it safer.� The motion was carried unanimously. It is hoped to have the rails up before winter’s cold weather sets in, likely in November, all the way from Evans Road to Craig Street. The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority still needs to be consulted on the plan in regards to any proposed R0012842296/0814 work in the flood plain.

ardson. “There was a huge contrast between the two,” said Kerr. “But they were respectful of each other.” Richardson’s school of thought, according to Kerr, was “very much hierarchical… it was very clearly defined who was in charge.” But, even at that, as their time at the church overlapped, “they complemented one another,” said Bertram. Once Montgomery was running the show, the management of the church became a more team-centred approach, another break in how it had been governed from years past. The trio are quick to point out that it has been 160 years since the bricks-and-mortar church has been erected, but that its Methodist and Presbyterian forerunners had roots extending beyond that in the area, to circuit riders operating in the area in the 1820s. While the people have changed, and where and how services are conducted, but the spirit remains the same, as evidenced by the $30,000 a year goal the faithful raise each year. At the Sunday, Oct. 19 service alone, money was raised to help with the Ebola crisis in Africa, as part of a wider, national appeal from the United Church. “Locally, there are lots of things that the church is involved in,” said Kerr. The church has not had a “team ministry,” with more than one clergy member, since 2007, but “there is a hope and a desire (that) we would return to a more substantial presence. I’m all for that,” said Kerr with a chuckle at the prospect of having more full-time hands to help him out. The past few years, with declining attendance, a graying population, and debates over everything from boycotting products made in disputed territory in the Middle East, to female priests to the role of homosexuals in the church, Bertram admits that “we had to work through the difficulties.” “The congregation is rebuilding itself, in a way,” said Kerr. “The good people of St. Paul’s, who stuck it out, have never stepped away,” said Bertram. “It’s a financial issue that limits the scope of the church.” Whether one believes in the divine, unseen hand, or not, the timing of one donation, spurred by the reciprocal love he found between one member of the faith, and the rest of the congregation, could not have been better. Some time ago, an immigrant businessman who attended the church, a man otherwise known as for his modesty, bequeathed a donation to the church in his will – for (an undisclosed) six-figure sum.

News – Members of St. Paul’s United Church in Perth will be having a blast from the past this weekend, celebrating like its 1986, with the return of a beloved reverend to the pulpit. Rev. Dr. John Montgomery started his ministry at St. Paul’s in 1986, a post he held for 20 years, and he will be the guest speaker at the church’s 160th anniversary worship service to be held this weekend, Sunday, Oct. 26 at 10 a.m. Not only was Montgomery popular with parishioners during his two decades on Gore Street West, but his spiritual evolution also mirrored that of his congregants and that of the United Church itself. “He was a very progressive minister, socially,” said Barbara Guthrie, chair of the church’s communications team, during an interview at the church on Friday, Oct. 17. “He takes scripture seriously, but not literally. It’s made scripture more meaningful,” she said, but noted that, at the time, that was quite revolutionary thinking. The man who now holds the Montgomery’s old job, Rev. Gerald Kerr, agrees. For Montgomery, it was important to “try to understand metaphor,” in The Holy Bible. While Montgomery has not held the pulpit in his thrall since 2006, Kerr admits that, “there is quite a strong love affair with Dr. John, as he is called.” While older parishioners remember Montgomery, younger members do as well, though from different settings from their parents. Parishioner Pat Bertram recalled how his daughter “found him quite fun” at the United Church’s Camp Lauren in Chalk River, Ont. The past 30 years have not been easy for the United Church, either in Perth or across the country, but the change in its world outlook mirrored Montgomery’s own spiritual evolution. “It’s like any theology presented at a church,” said Bertram. “It was not always warmly received. His sermons sent you home asking ‘OK, what was he saying?’” Kerr recalled that, in his student days, Montgomery’s thesis had been on Calvinist theology, which was “light years away from where he was,” in later years. “As he was rolling out his new ideas...on a theological perspective, he felt he had a transformation himself,” Bertram said. “It’s like what we have experienced here in 160 years,” said Guthrie. “You could see Dr. John changing in his spiritual journey just as the church has… I think that is what we can “It certainly came at a time we were worried about our celebrate,” even though, she admits, “it has challenged us.” Montgomery’s time leading the church was different, in finances,” said Guthrie, which reiterates the point for her that terms of tone, from that of his predecessor, Dr. George Rich- “the church is the people, not the building.”

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue
Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23
Aries, you begin the week with enthusiasm, but excitement begins to wane quite quickly. Find a way to rally your energy levels so you can complete tasks.
Libra, use your natural gift for diplomacy to resolve a conflict at work. It is easy to find common ground and steer the conversation toward a reasonable resolution.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22
Rein in your emotions as much as possible this week, Taurus. You will feel passionate about a project in the coming days, but you still must remain calm as you tackle the tasks at hand.
Scorpio, grab some friends’ attention as you attempt to garner support for a coming project. Once you have the floor, make the most of this opportunity.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21
Gemini, commitments at work may keep you from your plans, even if you have had a special event on the calendar for some time. This obligation is unavoidable.
Sagittarius, everything in your life seems to be in order. Now might be a great time to schedule some well-deserved rest and relaxtion with loved ones.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20
Expect to have some serious feelings about love and romance this week, Cancer. You are empowered by the sweet feelings and what they mean for your future.
Capricorn, listen to your sixth sense as it guides you in a particular direction. Your instincts rarely steer you wrong. Resist the urge to follow what everyone else is doing.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18
Leo, you are quite adept at maintaining a stoic outer appearance, but inside your emotions are churning. Find a healthy release and you will be glad you did.
The first step toward change at work is to take the initiative, Aquarius. Once you make the decision to forge ahead, everything will fall nicely into place.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20
Virgo, test the waters before you share a secret. This way you can get an idea of how a small group of people will react before you spread the word.
Pisces, don’t worry if you have to give up something you desire when negotiating with others. The chips will fall into place.

Remembering you is easy, We do it every day, But missing you is heartache that never goes away. “Love you Forever” your Girls

ANDERSON, Carol – In loving memory of a beloved wife, best friend, mother and grandmother who passed away October 24, 2012. It’s lonely here without you, We miss you more each day, For life is not the same to us, Since you were called away. Silently we grieve, And brush away our tears, The memories you left behind, Will last throughout the years. A million times I’ve needed you, A million times I’ve cried, If love could have saved you dear, You never would have died. Things we feel most deeply, Are the hardest things to say, My dearest… I love you, In a very special way. If I could have one lifetime wish, One dream that could come true, I’d pray to God with all my heart, For yesterday and you. Lovingly remembered by Doug, Kristen (Andrew), Greg (Kelly), Tammy (Terry), Darin (Jodi) and grandchildren Logan, Jaidyn, Reese, Maeve, Tyson and Carter
BEAMISH, Eldred (Ed) October 25, 1938-October 28, 2013 God saw you getting tired, A cure was not to be, So He put His arms around you, And whispered “Come to Me”. A golden heart stopped beating, Hardworking hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. Love and miss you, Joan Kathy, Barry and family Kevin, Charlene and family Karen, Bill and family

But angels came and took you away, And a tear I shed for you everyday. Now a shining lit up star, My Mom will watch from up far. In all the pain I’m going through, Just remember, I will always love you. Forever loved and missed by her daughter Kristen BUFFAM (CRAIG-LUMSDEN) In loving memory of a special mother, grandmother and great grandmother, Ruth Isabelle, who we lost ten years ago today, October 28, 2004. We are sending a dove to heaven with a parcel on it’s wings Be careful when you open it It’s full of beautiful things. Inside are a million kisses wrapped up in a million hugs, To say how much we miss you and to send you all our love. We hold you close within our hearts and there you will remain To walk with us throughout our lives Until we meet again. Forever loved and missed Barb, Don and Family
VILLENEUVEIn loving memory of a dear son-in-law, Steve, who passed away October 22, 1999. Today is a day of remembrance, A day of sad regrets, A day we will always remember, When the rest of the world forgets. Remembered always, Jean
EMON, Ruth In loving memory of a dear mother and grandmother who passed away October 17, 2007. No one knows how much me miss you, No one knows the bitter pain We have suffered, since we lost you Life has never been the same. In our hearts your memory lingers, Sweetly, tender, fond and true There is not a day dear mother, That we do not think of you. Always loved and never forgotten John and Family Mona and Family VILLENEUVEIn loving memory of our brother-in-law, Steve, who passed away October 22, 1999. When a loved one becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure. Always remembered, The Coyles Family
VILLENEUVEIn loving memory of Stephen Victor Villeneuve who passed away October 22, 1999. If we listen really closely in the silence of the night, We hear your voice comfort us, And say that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re alright, But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often hard to understand, Why certain things must be, And the reasons why they happen, Are so often hard to see, But we find comfort in the knowledge, That God is always there, To keep the one we love so much, Forever in his care. Love Nancy, Darlene, Pete, Chad, Redeana, Cameron, Aidan and Lachlan
WRIGHT, Lloyd In memory of a loving Husband, Father, Grandfather and Great Grandfather, who passed away October 29, 2011. The moment that you died, Our hearts split in two, The one side filled with memories, The other died with you. We often lay awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon our cheeks. Remembering you is easy, We do it every day, But missing you is a heartache, That never goes away. We hold you tightly within our hearts, And there you will remain, Life has gone on without you, But it never will be the same. For those who still have their dads, Treat him with tender care. You will never know the emptiness, As when you turn and he is not there. Ever remembered by his wife Laurena and Family

Experience true Bakersfield sound Oct. 25 Lifestyle – I wasn’t raised on country music. While walking around town, the other day, I saw a nice poster advertising Bakersfield Sound, a tribute show being organized by Henry Norwood. For those who don’t know Henry, he’s 16-years-old and became known across Canada when he made the final four of CBC Radio’s Searchlight Competition in 2013 and, since then, has been making a name for himself playing the traditional country music he loves all over the Ottawa Valley. So, when this young singer/songwriter puts together a tribute show to honour the music he loves, he has my interest right away. Henry’s gathered a stellar line-up of musicians to play tribute to Bakersfield Sound. Joining Henry will be Wade Foster on fiddle – Perth’s own, who’s backed Johnny Reid, Tracey and Barry Brown, Stonewall Jackson, Gail Gavan and his local group doubleBack. The essential steel sound will come from 2012 Ottawa Country Hall of Fame inductee, Brian Ostrom, on pedal steel. He’s recorded with Stonewall Jackson, Kitty Wells, Mac Wiseman and Canadian performers Tommy Hunter, Ronnie Prophet, Gordon Lightfoot and Carroll Baker. Valley legend, Roch Lafleur will be on bass, having previously played with doubleBack and Rory Gardiner, to name a few. Mark Lemieux, their drummer, has toured with Clayton Bellamy and Johnny Reid. Mark’s an Ottawa Valley favourite and doubleBack veteran. Shawn McCullough will amaze on lead guitar. Did you know, while touring with Jason McCoy, Shawn was nominated as Guitarist of the Year by the Canadian Country Music Association? The Bakersfield Sound tribute show is on Saturday, Oct. 25 at 8 p.m. at the Studio Theatre in Perth. I decided I had better investigate Bakersfield sound further and I’m glad I did. Here’s what I found out: Bakersfield sound is equated to Buck Owens and Merle Haggard but, while they took its sound to far greater heights, it’s so much more. Like most things, it’s the sum of many parts: music styles melding, then emerging mass communication technologies like radio and TV and great songwriting, rebelry, some luck and some interesting characters. Bakersfield, California in the 1940s and 50s was known as an oil and agricultural area, with many people moving there from Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and other southern areas to find work during the Great Depression (1929 to mid-1930s) and after the Second World War (1939-1945). These migrants brought their music with them which became mixed in with what was already locally made. It’s agreed this ‘sound’ came out of the local honky tonks (local bars) that offered music seven nights a week. Some of the more infamous ones were The Blackboard Café, Bob’s Lucky Spot, the Beardsley Ballroom, the Clover Club, Tex’9s Barrel House and Trout’s. It’s also agreed the sound was fuelled with electric and steel guitars, fiddles, lead and harmony vocals and was a real
contrast to the country music ‘Nashville Sound’ which was so full of lush string arrangements and background choruses. In 1954, MGM recording artist Bud Hobbs recorded Louisiana Swing with Buck Owens on lead guitar, Bill Woods on piano and the dual fiddles of Oscar Whittington and Jelly Sanders. Louisiana Swing was the first song recorded in the style known today as the legendary Bakersfield Sound. Thanks to the number of honky tonks in the Bakersfield area, there could be lots of work for determined musicians and because of this they each developed their skills; learned and created from one another. Many honky tonks had house bands and Bill Woods, a multi-intrumentalist (known by some as the “Father of the Bakersfield Sound”) was bandleader at the Blackboard Café. Many who went on to bigger things got their start with Woods, including Buck Owens, Ferlin Husky and Cousin Herb Henson. Piano, steel guitar, fiddle and the Telecaster guitar were the essential parts of that sound. Drums became more part of the equation as well. Technology brought along Telecaster guitars in 1950. Their loudness and tones, either sharp or mellow, depending on what pickup was used, became loved by country players. As recording developed, local Bakersfield pickers became prominent in nearby Los Angeles studios. Buck Owens was known as a picker before he became a star in his own right. Eugene Moles was another such amazing Bakersfield picker who, apparently, Nashville pickers tried to copy. Moles could have been famous but refused to leave his family to go on the road. Roy Nichols was another star picker who went on to play with Lefty Frizzell, Wynn Stewart and then 22 years with Merle Haggard. Great sound Capitol Records’ head of country music was Ken Nelson who produced many of the great Bakersfield sound hits we know today. Interesting to note, Nelson, prior to his west coast days, helped influence the Nashville sound with hits like Ferlin Husky’s Gone. Though Ferlin was a Bakersfield player, Nelson used a variety of stylings on the record that greatly affected the Nashville sound. Historically, rather than fight the coming ‘rock and roll’ trend, Nelson embraced them and took the best of various genre’s to benefit another. Nelson saw the rebel nature of rock and roll growing, coming through with ex-con Merle Haggard’s Mama Tried as an example, and encouraged him. Technology also brought along television, which enabled the broader spread of this developing sound to a wider fan base. Cousin Herb Henson hosted a daily television show on KERO TV seen up and down the California coast called

Cousin Herb and his Trading Post Gang from 1953 to 1963, promoting local Bakersfield talent, many getting their start on his program. Songwriting was also a main ingredient. Buck Owens, living in Bakersfield, started as a session picker in Hollywood, backing artists like Tennessee Ernie Ford, Wanda Jackson, Faron Young and Gene Vincent. After joining with fiddler Don Rich in 1958 he recorded his first charted hit with Second Fiddle which hit #24 and followed it up with Under Your Spell Again which made #4 on the Billboard country chart. Dallas Frazier was another notable Bakersfield songwriter who often goes unmentioned. From his early start winning a Bakersfield children’s talent show hosted by Ferlin Husky, he became a member of Ferlin’s band, with them playing on Cousin Herb Henson’s TV show many times. Merle Haggard’s early life was a rough, troubled one, his father having died of a brain tumour when Merle was nine. By 14, he was hopping freights around the southwest, was in and out of reformatories for crimes such as car theft. At 20, married with a child, he broke into a café while intoxicated and spent the next three years in San Quentin, being paroled in 1960. He returned to Bakersfield digging ditches with his brothers and became a lead guitar player for local bands. In 1962, he went to Las Vegas, backing then sensation Lynn Stewart on bass. Haggard has amassed more than 100 country chart singles since – including 38 number one hits – and had at least one top five country hit every year between 1966 and 1987. Among his biggest hits are Mama Tried, Sing Me Back Home, Hungry Eyes, It’s Not Love (But it’s Not Bad), Everybody’s Had the Blues, If We Make it Through December, It’s All in the Movies and Big City. Of the hundreds of songs he’s written, many have become country standards (his Today I Started Loving You Again has been recorded by more than 400 artists).

ELECT Jim McCann Councillor Bathhurst Ward – TVT At this time I wish to register some additional viewpoints on the issues of concern to TVT residents. Regarding waterfront and lake issues I attended the Adam Lake AGM meeting. In general I support measures to protect the environment and people should keep these in mind. However I see these as guidelines and not rules. If you want to raze the shack and build a better home consider it done. If you need a few extra feet here or there just consider me “flexible Jimmy” with a rubber arm. There is a lot of talk regarding development. I am supportive of development and I will encourage people with their projects. However, I don’t see development bringing down my tax bill. Seldom does. If you believe so, well I can cut you a deal on some ocean front property down in Yuma Arizona. Regarding excessive police costs, I will, if elected, bring a motion to council to dramatically curb OPP routine patrols, speed traps, ride programs and seat belt checks. By the way coffee time will be on someone else’s dime. If elected, I will initiate a program to pave all the township roads. This is no boon-doggle if done according to specifications. Now it costs twice as much to pave the roads but half the cost to maintain them and in the meantime you are not pounding over pot-holes twenty eight days a month. This will not be done overnight but you must pursue an objective. I do remind the local media that there are chairs at council for the media and there is hard-core news at all the meetings and far too often these chairs are empty. In conclusion, I urge all the people to vote now. If you don’t vote you can’t really complain in the future. Thank you all for your attention. Sincerely Jim McCann AKA Jimmy Yuma the Rebel

SJCHS students prepare for Exposure Trip to Guatemala; host yard sale Tiffany Lepack
tlepack@perfprint.ca
Community – Off they go again! Ten students from St. John Catholic High School are heading down south from March 15 to 23, 2015 on the annual “Exposure Trip to Guatemala.” The students held a fundraising yard sale at the Crystal Palace on Oct. 18, for $5 a box or bag, people walked away with many well-loved treasures. The trip is organized through the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario, and this year a total of 38 students from across the board will be travelling on the trip, which has been running for more than 15 years. The 10 students going from the Perth high school are: Phil Pilon, Maddie Field-Green, Sarah Noonan, Aidan Adrian, Megan Millotte, Ryley Gemmil, Sarah Strong, Sierra Peskett, Melissa Lavine and Caelan Quick. Adrian is looking forward to going on the trip and knows he will see a lot of different things compared to the streets of Perth. “I will be more exposed to people in poverty. In Canada people have more opportunities to go to the food bank or get help. In Guatemala they do not have the same social services,” said Adrian. “It will let us be more empathic to people in financial situations.” To prepare for the trip the students

However, Mayor John Fenik said he would not be supporting the move as he did not want a precedent being set, and being applied to another town parking lot, like the one at Conlon Farm. “I don’t want us to become one big community of parking zones,” Fenik said. “I understand the logic behind it, but I don’t support it.”

There is a time limit of three consecutive hours for free parking from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday.

Mark Quattrocchi takes a breather during the portion of his trek through China.
sroy@perfprint.ca
News - Rideau Ferry’s, Mark Quattrocchi has exceeded his $10,000 fundraising goal three months into his threeyear quest to bicycle around the world in support of building a school in China. “It blows my mind every day,” Quattrocchi told Grade 7-8 students at St. John Catholic High School in Perth. “The whole ride I didn’t imagine I would raise that much. It gives me the motivation to keep going.” So far, Quattrocchi’s One Adventure Please quest has raised $10,225 in just three months and has completed the construction of a school in Guang Ming, Sichuan province in rural China. This community lost their school six years ago due to an earthquake and the government hadn’t restored it. The draw of education in this community is so strong students walk two-and-a-half hours through mountains to get to class. Quattrocchi has spent the last few years teaching overseas and has seen first-hand the dramatic difference education has in the lives of those it reaches. “With an education you have an opportunity for so many things; you have a choice,” Quattrocchi said.
Mark Quattrocchi of Rideau Ferry took a brief break from his three-year trek around the world on bike to visit his former school - St. John Catholic High School and others like St. Joseph’s in Toledo to continue his quest to raise funds to build schools overseas.
Around the world today 58 million children can’t go to school and 215 million children are forced into unpaid child labour, Quattrocchi told local students. “In a sense, it is slavery,” he said. Education is a strong tool that can break these cycles of poverty and oppression, which is why Quattrocchi decided to partner with Free the Children to build the school in China. He is now speaking with Free the Children about building a school in India next. On the road Quattrocchi’s mission and goal is admirable, but hasn’t come without a lot of hard work and difficult experiences, he told students. “I get rained on; I get snowed on,” he said. His day consists of a 7:30 a.m. rising, packing his tent and then focusing on biking, finding food and a safe place to sleep. The young man tries to live on $10 to $20 a day by sleeping in a tent, cycling 130km a day through the communities and accepting the kindness of strangers he meets along the way. He recalls one time when his tire blew. Police drove him to the next town where he could get it fixed, but when the shop

Perth and District Union Public Library launches Owls Homework Club Community - The launch of the new Owls Homework Club at Perth & District Union Public Library will provide homework help to elementary children, whether they need one-on-one assistance or just a quiet place to work. The Homework Club will take place at the library on Tuesdays from 3 to 6 p.m. beginning Nov. 4 and running through early June 2015. The pilot program is funded by a BestStart grant from the Government of Ontario that is helping all five Lanark County libraries expand their literacy work. The new program responds both to the need for afterschool programming for elementary age children and to demand for the library to offer tutor-
ing beyond its existing Summer Literacy Program. Owls Homework Club will be less formal than the summer program, with drop-in sessions and a mixture of small group and one-on-one help. It will be open to children in Grade 1 to 6 from any area school and will cover all subjects, including French. Children may spend any portion of the three hours in the program. There is no pre-registration. The library’s program room will be set up as a workspace with necessary supplies and trained tutors who can answer occasional questions or provide more detailed guidance. Students requiring one-on-one help will be matched with a tutor, and
the library hopes to build a list of tutors with specialized skills over time to improve this matching. The club’s staff will be made up of one student coordinator and a team of teen and adult volunteer tutors. Anyone interested in becoming a tutor should contact the library to register as a volunteer. Volunteers over 18 are required to obtain a vulnerable sector background check; the library will provide a letter for the OPP to waive the fee for this check. With such a flexible structure, the program has the potential to adapt to meet the academic and

the services here one child wisely answers “they may have had an extra thing to pay for like a car repair, and were unable to afford to pay for groceries that month”. The children are then tasked with doing a “mock shop” in the aisles of the Good Food Bank, and asked to plan a meal using the many nutritious ingredients that are available here. The culmination of the activity is children preparing and sharing these two meals during the next session of the program. This nourishing program runs two sessions throughout the school year. September to December, and February to May. The children come to The Table Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3-5:30 p.m. We also offer a Dads and Kids cooking night, many tours for school groups in our facility and gardens, a Kids Corner in the Good Food Bank plus community meals where all members of the family are welcome at The Table.

After a number of years of holding worship services in a log school house, a stone church was built in 1823 under the guidance of Robert Drysdale. He was also involved in the design of the current stone church which was later built in 1860. The cross of St. Andrew, patron saint of Scotland, has its place in the highest window above the front door. Twenty nine ministers have served the congregations over the past 191 years and the current minister is Rev. Shelley Roberts. A previous minister, Rev. Jeff deJonge conducted the church’s anniversary service. For the Sunday night supper, doors will open at 4 p.m. and music by “The Twilight Two” will provide entertainment when patrons are not feasting. As well as a main course of turkey and all the trimmings there will be a large variety of homemade pies supplied by the excellent cooks of St. Andrew’s. The cost is $12 for adults and $6 for those 12 and under.

Sprouting Chefs at The Table
News - It is picturesque fall day in the backyard garden at The Table Community Food Centre. The tranquility is disrupted by the glee of the kids at The Table’s Sprouting Chefs, our After School Program. Sixteen children aged 8-12 are joined by Coral Sproule, the coordinator of the program and several volunteers, who are all out doing their part to tend to the gardens that feed and nurture our community, and their hungry bellies! Some of the children are excited to taste fresh herbs from the garden for the first time, others are pulling carrots straight out the ground, wiping them on the grass and munching. The garden provides a wonderful space for learning, bonding, work and fun, as well as a source of food for The Table’s kitchen, and Good Food Bank. Through a variety of activities the children have the opportunity to see and experience a portion of the food system that feeds us all. They are encouraged to observe and tend to this garden from seeds to harvest to preparation. One activity that is always a joy for the participants is the Good Food Bank Challenge. An interactive tour by Wendy Quarrington, Good Food Bank Coordinator gets the kids thinking about food access, and barriers. We dispel myths about who uses the Good Food Bank and why we all need to support these programs. When the children are asked why some community members might need
educational needs of many more students than the library has previously been able to support. This means that students will be able to find a tutor they feel comfortable learning with. Tutors will also provide encouragement and guidance about good study skills. Questions about the program may be directed to Rachel Warren, children’s librarian, at 613-2671224.

Another monster trade for Blue Wings; head coach leaves bench Laurie Weir
ljweir@metroland.com
Sports – In another turn of events in the Perth Jr. B Blue Wings barn, the head coach is gone, and another monster trade has taken place over the past week. There is never a dull moment in EOJHL action, as head coach and general manager, Colin Glenn has decided to toss in the towel after the team has yet to pick up their first win of the season. “It was done amicably,” Glenn said in a telephone interview on Monday, Oct. 20. “We parted ways last week. It had to happen. Michael (owner, McLean) has been excellent. We tried everything possible. I’m not at all relieved (to be off the bench) and I wish it could have been different but it’s just like there is a big black cloud over our heads.” After the team’s 8-0 loss to Shawville on Oct. 12, Glenn said he decided it was time to leave.
McLean, who was also reached Oct. 20, said it was Glenn’s decision to leave, not his. “I was committed to this team – this coaching team – for the season,” McLean said. “I didn’t want to see him go, but it was his choice. He did such a great job last season as my assistant coach. He ran the defense and I ran the offense; the kids respected him. He struck me as a guy who would never quit. But as he said, it has to be fun… at the end of the day and he was feeling the stress and then that affects the players.” McLean jumped into his skates and ran practise on Oct. 14 – much to his wife’s chagrin, he said – but what he saw on the ice was no indication of what has appeared on the score sheet. “These guys want to win,” McLean said. “They are a good bunch of guys. They want to learn. If there is a positive here, it’s this… it is their chance to show us what they’re made of. It’s a fresh op-
portunity. We’ve added a lot of players (as of late).” Another one of those monster trades this week – again with the Almonte Thunder who are looking to repeat their Valley Division title. “We let Andrew Davis go to Almonte, and in return we got two big forwards and a defenseman,” said McLean. Just last week, Perth’s captain and overeager, Blair Barr was traded to the Thunder where he was joined by Davis – his roommate – this week. “They live together, (Davis is attending school at Algonquin College, Perth campus, and is being billeted by the Barr family), and they want a chance to win a championship together,” McLean said. “He wanted to play with Blair so we agreed to a deal where we got Terry Mallon (a forward). They didn’t want to give him up.” Also in the trade, Perth received Conor Rolland, a 19-year-old defense-
man and Jordan Bosley, who was “key in the deal,” according to McLean. “We’re adding players who are relatively young, but we’re not going to make the same mistake as last year – losing so many kids to Jr. A teams. I’m not interested in being a farm team.” So now, stepping into the role of coach are the team’s two assistant coaches: Brian Green and Josh Laderoute. McLean said he will take about two to three weeks to ponder the resumes he’s received to fill Glenn’s bench boss position. “I’m going to take my time,” McLean said. “But for now, Brian and Josh will run the hockey team and I’ll still be doing the marketing.” He’s got his eye on a 20-yearold at the moment, and will be making another trade this week. “I’m looking for kids who love hockey,” McLean said. “That’s the bottom line. They have to want to be there, listen,
learn… this is how you build a winner.” Renfrew 6 Perth 3 The Blue Wings dropped a 6-3 decision to the Renfrew Timberwolves on Friday, Oct. 17 in Renfrew. The Timberwolves held a 2-0 lead after the first period with goals from Lucas Gonu and Nolan Rook. Andrew Davis, unassisted, scored Perth’s only goal of the second period. In the third, Renfrew shot back with four more goals to Perth’s pair. Scoring for the Timberwolves were Spencer Hill, Nych Paquette, Travis Jamieson and Luke Lappierre. Perth goals came from Anthony Scattolon (shorthanded) from Kyle Weedmark, and Anthony Meehan from Davis and Joel Cunningham. Coming up The Blue Wings host the Stittsville Rams (formerly, the Royals) on Friday, Oct. 24. Game time is 7:30 p.m.

PDCI’s cross country team is tops at LCIAA Laurie Weir
ljweir@metroland.com
Sports – The TL Graham Cup is back home this week as the Perth and District Collegiate Institute’s cross country team captured the top spot at the Lanark County Interschool Athletic Association championship in Almonte Oct. 15. Coach Gord Poole said it was a stellar day for his 30-plus athletes. “Everyone contributed,” Poole said. “They had a great day.” There were some feel-good stories during PDCI’s day, including the performance of the midget girls squad, who clinched the championship. Then there was Sam Edmonsdon’s performance – which helped the team get over the top. This number five runner managed to pull his weight and cross the finish line in place of their number four runner, who was injured, on the midget boys’ team. “Sam really pulled through for us,”
praised the coach. The TL Graham Cup has a PDCI history story as well. “Thomas Graham was a big runner at this school and he was a coach,” said Poole. Graham died just last year. He was instrumental at resurrecting the Glen Tay Block Race in 1967, a perennial race in Perth the end of August in which hundreds of people participate. “He was very much into running… quite the fireplug,” said Poole. “He was at last year’s (2013) block race.” In the early 1990s, Poole suggested to LCIAA board to have the cross country trophy called the TL Graham Cup to honour the former PDCI coach and Perth runner. “When his wife, Beth, heard that we had won the cup, she emailed us that it was nice to have the cup back at its rightful place.” Gold medal performances for their individual efforts were earned by Bri-
anna Fournier and Ben Bellamy, both midget age runners. The midget boys claimed a first place team finish. They are Bellamy, Winston Mavraganis, Kalil Bailey, Sam Edmonsdon, Chris Walkden, Andrew Ferguson and Noah Sullivan. The PDCI cross country team will be in Petawawa Oct. 23 to take part in the Eastern Ontario Secondary Schools Athletic Association (EOSSAA) championships. Team members include: Fournier, Bellamy, Mavraganis, Bailey, Edmonsdon, Walkden, Ferguson, Sullivan, Stella MacDonald, Tia Stewart, Cyan Atterbury, Eli Hansen, Robin Brownlee, Matt Kimble, Kiera Bell, Amanda Miller, Holly Oliver, Emma Pool, Bronwyn Funston, Georgia Mahon, Melissa Crain, Erica Koeslag, Zack Bingley, Bree Lennox, Paul Desjardin, Owen Willows, Emilia Buker, Natalie Fair, Tyler Carroll, Gage Echlin and Peter Smith.

Putting TAXPAYERS First 4 years ago I asked for your support because our Town was in trouble. Spending was out of control—taxes were increasing annually by 7 times the rate of inflation. Town Council had forgotten a fundamental truth—that every dollar they were spending came out of our wallets. During my first term annual tax increases have been slashed to below the inflation rate. The same Councillors who more than doubled our tax bill are now ‘born again’ fiscal conservatives, promising to cap future tax increases at the inflation rate. However, we can and must do better. Politicians live in a different world. Left to their Connected to Your Community - P21 - Thursday, October 23, 2014
own devices they would tax and spend—they can’t help themselves. They would take any operational savings, such as the $1,200,000 a year that will ultimately be generated by contracting with the OPP, and spend every dime of it. In my world the burden on the taxpayer must be minimized by providing only those services that are really necessary and doing so as efficiently as possible. I would give the $1,200,000 back to you because IT’S YOUR MONEY! In my world taxes can and must decrease. I’m not a politician. I’m a taxpayer…just like you.
Spartans successful in Turkey Bowl games over Thanksgiving weekend Finn Hogue
Community - Saturday, Oct. 11 was the Turkey Bowl, where both the senior and the junior football teams had great success, making up for the previous two games that the juniors had lost and the one game the seniors had lost. The juniors parlayed a good week of practice into a decisive 40-0 victory over the Celtic Warriors of Notre Dame. The seniors, under a balanced attack and another great defensive effort defeated the Celtic Warriors of Notre Dame by a score of 39-0.
Only the juniors had one game last week, and it was on Friday, Oct. 17 against Renfrew at home. On Oct. 30, St. John is having a Halloween Dance. We are encouraging everyone to dress up and participate in the Halloween fun. The dance will cost $10 and everyone needs to have a Student ID card. If you do not have your card you will not be allowed into the dance. More details will come as we get closer to the day. The senior volleyball team had a game on Wednesday, Oct. 15 at home. The juniors had another game on Wednesday,
Oct. 15 against PDCI. The boys played a great game. The cross country team had a meet last week in Kemptville at St. Michael CHS, for the Turkey Trot. Anthony Scattolon, Brandon Monaghan, Dylan Kryskow, Marco Scattolon all place second in the senior boys heat. Austin Beesley, Matthew Crain, Michael Hogan, Idreese Merhe all placed fourth in the midget boys heat, and Kate Thornton, Gabbi Culham-Putnaki, Hailey Rodegers, and Mikeala Hughes all placed fifth in the junior girls event. Congratulations Spartans! The senior
boys, second place, went to Anthony Scattolon, Brandon Monaghan, Dylan Kryskow and Marco Scattolon. Friday, Oct. 17 was St. John dress down day to help raise money for the SJCHS Students in Need program. For the Grade 7/8 students, they had quite an interesting week. Some of the students participated in the CDSBEO Lanark Elementary Schools soccer tournament last week. Both the girls and boys teams won! We would also like to thank Maggie Freestone and Lexi Saunders for helping to coach the soccer teams.
On Friday, Oct. 10, “World Egg Day” was held. In honour of this day the Egg Farmers of Canada and the Breakfast Club of Canada sent St. John a World Egg Day Celebration Kit! Each student was served and egg and a cheese English muffin, an apple and apple juice. We’d like to thank them! Also on Oct. 10, the Intermediate Student Council and Social Justice Club held a bake sale to help raise funds to pay for our sponsor child’s tuition, Kishore who lives in India. We’re very proud of them and we are sure that Kishore appreciates it!

Perth says sayonara to Japanese student exchange Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
News – It’ll be sayonara for the foreseeable future for high school students visiting Perth from Japan. Mayor John Fenik will be sending a letter to his counterpart in Asago-Cho, Japan, with whom Perth has a Sister City agreement, informing them Perth will not take part in the annual AsagoCho High School student exchange program. In a report to town council, presented at the committee-of-the-whole meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 7, chief administrative officer John deRosenroll, wrote that “the exchange program has been experiencing organizational difficulties, as we are essentially a governmental organization that now finds itself in a position of hosting an annual high school exchange program.” About five years ago, Fenik told coun-
cil that there was an agreement between the Japanese high school and The Stewart School, but the report revealed that, this past August, both deRosenroll and Fenik “participated in an interpreter-led discussion with the senior adult members of the Asago-Cho student exchange program. It was apparent that even though our cultural twinning relationship is excellent, both parties have different expectations and organizational needs in regard to the…program,” wrote deRosenroll. “It seems like the Town of Perth is taking all of the initiative on this, arranging billets (and such),” said Fenik frankly. “We need to look at this,” he added, perhaps looking to the public and/or Catholic school boards, or members of the public, to take the lead on keeping the exchange going. He noted that local billets “love the Japanese,” but that the agreement needs to be reciprocal. “If there is going to be a student ex-
change, we need our students to be able to go over,” he said, but noted that “Japan is very far away and it is very expensive.” The Japanese parents agreed during the meeting this past summer that they would like to host Canadian students, “who would travel to Japan and experience the learning of Japanese as a second language,” wrote deRosenroll. “To this end, we realize that, as a governmental organization, we are essentially the wrong match for a school exchange program and, as a result, the mayor contacted the local education institutions to gauge their interest in assuming the… program. Due to current work loads and other foreign student exchange obligations, the educational institutions have declined to participate in this exchange program.” Desmond Devoy / METROLAND However, both Fenik and deRosenroll stressed that the cancellation of this Akari Matsuda receives a gift from Jennifer Duplain, International Eduprogram does not affect the Sister City cation Coordinator for the Upper Canada District School Board’s Interagreement. national Education program, during a fall 2012 visit.

ENERGY TIP! Change the direction of airflow on your ceiling fan. For those cold, winter months, the blades should operate in a clockwise direction, helping to push the warm air from the ceiling down into the room. In the summer, the blades should operate in a counter clockwise direction as a way of creating a nice, gentle wind.

Wednesday
Ordination to the priesthood Community - Father Justin Pulikunnel served his internship in St. John the Baptist Catholic Parish in Perth during 2011-12 and as a deacon in 2014. Following his recent ordination, he has been assigned to pastoral ministry in Brockville, Rockport and Lansdowne. On Oct. 4, the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, I received the sacrament of Holy Orders from Archbishop Brendan O’Brien and was ordained to the order of presbyters for ministry as a Catholic priest in the Archdiocese of Kingston. The beautiful and moving ordination rite, held in St. Mary’s Cathedral in Kingston, was the culmination of many years of discernment and formation. The celebration of Holy Orders I received was, in its essence, pretty much the same as what happened in chapter 14 of the Book of Acts: “While they [the whole church] were worshipping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, ‘Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.’ Then after fasting and praying they laid their hands on them and sent them off.” The essential core of the sacrament of Holy Orders is the bishop’s imposition of hands on the head of the ordained and the bishop’s specific consecratory prayer, asking God for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and gifts proper to the ministry to which the candidate is being ordained. There is something warm and deeply human about this, and it is significant that the essence of this tradition is a gesture as much as a word. We live in a culture that values abstraction more than reality and that sees statistics as somehow more real than the living, breathing people they represent. In a perfect counter-cultural gesture, the church sees to the handing down of apostolic authority not merely through an abstraction or by means of passing a theology quiz, but by the imposition of warm, human hands down through the ages. This is in keeping with the central core of the Christian faith itself, which insists that God’s ultimate revelation is not the word made abstraction, but the Word made flesh. After being conformed to Jesus Christ – the one High Priest – through the laying on of hands and having the grace of the Holy Spirit implored through the prayer of consecration, I heard Psalm 110 being chanted – a psalm written by King David as a coronation ode for his son, Solomon. And as a brother priest clothed me in the garments used in the celebration of the Holy Eucharist – the stole and chasuble – signs both of my new sacred office and the charity with which I must care for the people entrusted to me, the Cathedral choir sang the famous oath that God the Father gives to the coming Son of David: “The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind: ‘You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.’” It was at this part of the rite where emotion got the best of me and tears began to flow.

Fr. Justin Pulikunnel Melchizedek of course lived almost 4,000 years ago during the time of Abraham. He was priest and king of Salem – a priest-king – and we know from Genesis 14 that when Abraham met him, he regarded him as his superior. This matters a great deal because the priesthood of Melchizedek is a greater and a more ancient priesthood than that of the priests of Levi, who were descendants of Abraham. In the book of Hebrews we read all about this, and discover that Jesus established a new priesthood. It was a priesthood that offered not the blood of goats and bulls (as the Levitical priests did), but his own blood in perfect sacrifice to God the Father. That sacrifice was offered once for all on Calvary, but our need to have access to that sacrifice is ongoing. So Jesus took gifts of bread and wine – just like Melchizedek did long before and just as I will be doing at each Holy Mass – and transformed them into his body and blood, commanding his apostles to “do likewise in memory of me.” In short, he founded a new priesthood for his “new covenant in my blood.” Jesus was able to do that because he is the ultimate Son of David and therefore a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. And this priesthood remains with us to this day, faithfully celebrating the sacrifice of the Mass, whereby God makes present in the here and now, the one sacrifice offered so long ago on Calvary. And now I am a priest in the order of Melchizedek, thanks to Jesus Christ and his Church.

John Hall seeks election in Lanark Highlands News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The following information was received via email from John Hall who seeks to be elected for the deputy mayor spot in Lanark Highlands. I was born and raised in Lanark Highlands and I have lived all my life here both as a permanent and seasonal resident. I am a retired Chartered Professional Accountant and most of my career was spent as the Superintendent of Business and Finance with the Renfrew County District School Board. My prime responsibility was to manage the financial resources. A School Board operates very similarly to a municipality and is governed by elected officials and consequently I am quite familiar with how a council functions. As president of the Lanark Highlands Ratepayers Association I have attended many council meetings and kept myself informed on issues council is facing. This is my first election and I am running because I believe the shift of policing costs by the province from urban to rural municipalities will have a devastating impact on the Highlands residents who are already burdened with high taxes. My first and main priority will be to find out if our taxes need to be as high as they are. I will propose to council that a task force be established to examine all aspects of the townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operations to determine where savings can be achieved without compromising the level of service residents expect and the townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infrastructure (roads, bridges, fire stations etc). My second priority is to work with staff to improve the
decision making process and give council members the pertinent information necessary to make informed decisions. My third priority is to improve the communication between council and residents. I will start by proposing that committee meetings take place in the evening rather than the afternoon to make it more convenient for residents to attend. I will also work to ensure that closed meeting sessions are limited to issues that legitimately need to be discussed privately. Lanark Highlands is a true ecological gem! The pristine lakes, the majestic forests and fall colours, the beauty in winter, the wildlife and the recreational opportunities are features that many people in the world can only imagine.

Community - Come dance for a great cause Saturday, Nov. 15 as the Guatemala Stove Project (GSP) is hosting a fundraising dance featuring Kobo Town, a Canadian Caribbean group. Led by Trinidadian Canadian singer and songwriter Drew Gonsalves, and based in Toronto, the band blends calypso music with a diverse mix of Caribbean and other musical influences, including ska, reggae, dub, rapso, zouk and hip hop. This annual fundraiser will feature a silent auction of unique items crafted by local artisans or donated by local businesses. There will also be a live auction with some desirable bigger ticket items. An assortment of gift baskets donated by local merchants will also be raffled off during the evening. The Guatemala Stove Project, a volunteer-based organization is continuing its efforts to raise funds for the construction of masonry cook stoves for impoverished, rural Mayan families. Over 5,000 stoves have been built so far creating a lasting legacy for rural families in the western highlands of Guatemala. Consider that a single stove extends the lives of each family member in a household by 10 to 15 years and reduces the amount of firewood needed by half which helps to preserve the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s precious forests. The Guatemala Stove Project also supports sustainabledevelopment projects in over a dozen communities and now issues micro-loans to indigenous women to start small businesses that will help lift them out of poverty. The Guatemala Stove Project recognizes the importance of education in creating opportunity and hope for the future. It helps provide scholarships to junior high school students who would otherwise not have this opportunity. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard about the GSP and maybe you have even made a donation in the past. Now is the time to deepen your connection to this worthwhile organization, conceived in the heart of Brooke Valley and reaching out to the highlands of western Guatemala. Show your support for the indigenous people in Guatemala. Bring your dancing shoes to the Perth Civitan Club for this fantastic licensed fundraising event! Tickets are $20 in advance at Shadowfax and Coutts and Company in Perth or at the door for $22. Tickets for students are $15. Doors open at 7 p.m. KoboTown starts playing at 8 p.m. For more information, please call 613-267-5202. Check us out www.guatemalastoveproject.org.

I also envision promoting our existing small businesses so they have an opportunity to flourish and provide an enticement for new businesses to establish here. I would like voters to know that I will work diligently to lessen the impact of the increase in policing costs and I am determined to find out if our taxes need to be as high as they are. I believe my extensive financial background will be a valuable asset to the decision making process at the council table.

Wicklum seeks deputy mayor’s seat Mosher hopes to return to Perth council News - Tay Valley deputy reeve candidate, Mick Wicklum, finds himself back home after being away from the area for his 20s and 30s. “I’ve come full circle,” Wicklum says, alluding to the fact he’s back living in the former North Burgess ward where he grew up in the 70s and 80s. “I love Tay Valley – the most beautiful township in the province. I’ve lived all over Ontario and even in Florida but it’s hard to beat Tay Valley.” “Home is always home,” he stated, noting he moved back in 2009 to Tay Valley to the same old, stone farmhouse he was raised in so he could open his law practice in Perth. Though this is Wicklum’s first foray into seeking elected office he’s no stranger to politics. Before getting his law degree at Queen’s he studied political science at the University of Guelph. He’s also worked as a legislative advisor in Ottawa and worked internationally as an election monitor in Ukraine and Palestine. When asked ‘why now?’ Wicklum said the timing was right. “Many residents wanted me to run in the last election, but, for me, it was too soon, having just moved back in 2009. Though I always considered the Scotch Line home, even when I lived in Toronto or Florida, I needed some time to get a feel for the area again and the important issues facing Tay Valley. I’m ready.” Wicklum sees increased taxes due to rising policing costs and getting Tay Valley to live up to its cultural and economic potential as priorities. “Tay Valley could take a leadership role among townships across the province, build some consensus with our neighbouring municipalities in order to
Mick Wicklum stand up to the provincial government and the 20 per cent increase in taxes Tay Valley’s residents will have to cough up to cover ballooning policing costs. When is it going to stop? I’m here to do my part and stand up and be heard.” As for the township’s economic potential Wicklum said, “I don’t think it’s a secret Tay Valley needs to be more friendly towards development and new housing starts. We don’t want paved forests but I think there is potential for some thoughtful growth. You need balance and I’m not sure we’ve achieved that yet.” “In the years to come Tay Valley could easily be the envy of the province in terms of cultural, economic and natural balance.” To find out more about Wicklum Tay Valley voters can visit his website at www.wicklum4deputyreeve.blogspot.ca, email him at: wicklum4deputyreeve@gmail.com or call him at 613-267-9500.

News – Mike Mosher wants to be back on the field, not watching from the sidelines. The former Perth town council member wants to suit up again for the team because, “bottom line, I enjoy the work. I find it extremely interesting… I enjoy having some input in the community.” Unlike other former politicians who are adept at being Monday morning quarterbacks, “I have too much respect for people who sit on council to second guess them,” and that “I have to respect that decision,” of council. He has said at previous debates that he has no major quarrels with how council is currently being run – he just wants back in. “Everybody starts off the same way,” he says of new candidates. “‘I’m a lifelong resident and I care about my community.’” While that is certainly a noble sentiment, “that’s not important. What’s important is how people think and act. I refer to myself as a free-thinker… thinking outside the box.” He said that there are “creative ways” to think about solving problems like tourism and economic development. But first, before he allows his thinking to become too ‘blue sky’ optimistic, he needs to set the ground rules: “We can’t compete globally. We’re too small. We can’t compete regionally. We’re not Ottawa. We’re not Niagara Falls.” But though we’re small, we can be mighty – and smart.
“We have roads. We have people to organize events. We could have a Tour de Force covering all of eastern and central Ontario,” he suggested. “Why not?” It could even, he suggested, be a qualifier for the Tour de France. Another ongoing issue is property taxes but, again, he lays out the reality. “Our property values are higher because people want to live here,” he said. But from this can become a strength, he feels, with higher assessment possibly leading to a lower, overall tax rate. Another solution would be to increase the town’s commercial tax base. “It is shrinking,” he said. He pointed to Ontario’s two largest cities, Toronto and Ottawa, who are able to subsidize the residential tax rate with their commercial taxes. Part of bringing the businesses to town involves marketing. Rather than taking on what he calls “the shotgun approach,” like advertisements in magazines, a more targeted approach, focusing like a laser beam on the top decision makers, would make more of a difference. “One person, one right person, can change the entire direction of your town,” he said. “You wine and dine ‘em.” He would encourage outreach to business creators in the high tech sector, as well as hedge fund managers, and venture capitalists. “You target that one or six people,” said Mosher.

Since we determined our goal 10 years ago, class sizes are the smallest they have ever been, and the amount of money provided to boards has never been higher; and yet statistics show that academic results have plateau across Ontario. UCDSB will fight the plateau; we are consciously challenging the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;stallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and we will continue to challenge students to be the best they can be. Also declining enrollment continues to impact some of our rural schools and the programming they are able to offer. I believe the issues we face as a school board are not simple and experience matters in understanding the complexity at the board level and particularly, how board decisions affect the students, their
families and the communities in Ward 3. UCDSB has an exceptional reputation in the province and I take pride in representing this area. I want to be re-elected so that we can continue together to maintain the positive changes that have been made and that we can bring forward yet more progressive ideas that enhance the student experience.
