Community invited to celebrate Jackie Seaton

NEWS

Empty Bowls founder dies after battling multiple myeloma News – Jackie Seaton, founder of the Empty Bowls project which donated thousands of dollars to the local community’s food projects, died at home, Thursday, Oct. 17, after a twoyear battle with multiple myeloma. He was 68.

A celebration of Seaton’s life will be held Sunday, Nov. 3 at Code’s Mill, 17 Wilson St. E. Perth.

This weekend, friends are invited to Toronto to visit with the family between 2 and 4 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 27 at 305 Rosemary Rd. Seaton is missed by so many people, but especially by his wife, Joni Seligman; children Ami, Aden, and Gita; grandchildren, Ivan and Noam; brothers Paul and Mark and his uncle,

Alex Siegel.

The middle son of the late Ann and Ben Seaton, Jackie was a real mensch.

He and Joni met 50 years ago when they were teenagers in Toronto, shared lots of adventures, and then found their true home near Perth, where Seaton set up his salt-glaze pottery studio.

His life was rich with interests: he played the cello, was a loyal New Yorker reader, an activist and fundraiser, a coffee appreciator, a pun-loving guy…and so much more.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Empty Bowls project (Ihanwood@live.com) or the Bloom Chair in Multiple Myeloma Research at the Princess Margaret Hospital (416-946-6560) would be appreciated by the family.

News - Lanark Highlands township once again has its very own satellite police office at the municipal offices.

“We are good to go,” said Insp. Derek Needham, during the grand opening, which was held on Tuesday, Oct. 22, in Lanark village. “We can file reports (here) without having to go to Perth.”

However, unlike the Lanark County OPP detachment on Highway 7, the Highlands OPP community police office will not have regular hours.

“We are not going to staff it on regular hours,” said Needham.

“If there is a cruiser out front, people are welcome to come in.”

The township had been in talks with the OPP about bringing a satellite office back to the township offices for several months.

“The municipality has made the space available to us,” said Needham. “We are grateful to the municipality for offering the space to us.”

The OPP’s previous tenancy in the Highlands was cut short because of insufficient internet service.

“In terms of speed, it wasn’t worth it (having an office),” said Needham. “Now that Lanark Highlands has its high speed internet, it’s no different than being in Perth.”

But the office will also be used for more than just allow-

ing community service officers Dave Blair and Dave Bird to file paperwork.

“If someone is to be interviewed in something routine,” it can be done in Lanark, said Needham, saving the drive into Perth.

Saving time on the road is imperative for the Lanark County OPP, which has a wide area to patrol.

“It’s very large,” said acting detachment manager John Jarrett of the Highlands. As for the county, “the area patrolled is similar in size to Prince Edward Island,” so the less time spent on the road, the better.

“It’s a lot of paperwork,” added Jarrett. “This helps keep officers in the area.”

CDSBEO schools receive improved hardware and network capabilities

by Dec. 20.

Internet speed increases will be significant as a result of the WAN upgrade; some schools will see increases from 1.4 MB per second to 1000 MB per second. With the new speed, teachers will be able to incorporate web based teaching resources and streaming audio and video for classroom instruction.

Ontario Early Years Policy Framework On Jan. 23, the Ontario government released the Early Years Policy Framework. This policy sets out the vision and plan for the early years in all school boards, and outlines how the establishment of a system of family supports for parents, and caregivers of children age zero to six, will be accomplished.

Superintendent of School Effectiveness, Tom Jordan, outlined for the board, the four key areas of action for the framework, and the guiding principles to support the vision of the document. The framework was created for district school boards, as well as community partners and service providers who are involved with children in the early years.

One of the four key areas for action includes the implementation of fullday kindergarten (FDK). Currently, 75 per cent of kindergarten students in Ontario attend an FDK program, and full implementation will be in place

by September 2014. Statistics from a study by Queens University, and McMaster University, in conjunction with the Ministry of Education, demonstrate that student who attend full-day kindergarten have less risk with cognitive development, social competence, and communication skills and general knowledge. The risk reduction in social competence and communication skills occurrences is roughly half (from 10.5 to 5.2 per cent and 10.5 to 5.6 per cent respectively), while the risk for language and cognitive development drops from 16.4 to 4.3 per cent after two years in an FDK program, versus a half-day program.

Other areas of action for the framework include the creation of an ef-

fective approach to implementing Best Start Child and Family Centres.

Parents and caregivers have reported that current services are difficult to navigate, and feel that more efficient services, with more geographical consistency and lower wait times would greatly improve supports. Improvements to speech and language services have been proposed, with a planned reduction from five programs, run by three different ministries provincially, to a more streamlined service, with less fragmentation and duplication, as well as better transition between community and school-based services. A comprehensive, streamlined website is also currently being developed.

The fourth and final goal of the framework includes a more stabilized child care system, with better access to higher quality care for all families. The

initiative will improve infrastructure and space to deliver care to children, and a new funding formula will also reduce childcare costs for parents.

Documents with more information on the Early Years Policy are available online from the Ministry of Education at www.edu.gov.on.ca/childcare/earlyyearsvision.html.

Haunting apparitions to appear at Carleton Place Town Hall

By DORIS OHLMANN

Arts – With All Hallow’s Eve almost upon us, it seems fitting to warn you of a ghostly apparition that has been haunting the Carleton Place Town Hall of late and will continue ‘til at least the first weekend of December. Word has it that the venerable Charles Dickens (may he rest in peace) has been haunting Mudds member Laurel Tye for well over a year.

In an effort to assuage his haunting, she has gathered together a talented group to help her stage none other than Dickens’ famous story, A Christmas Carol, or in this case, Humbug!

Laurel Tye is artistic director for this production, it being her first time in this role. She will be joined by a chorus of carollers under the direction of musical director Kristine MacLaren and accompanied by Peter Brown on piano with his band.

Musical selections for Humbug include “I Want It All,� “Money Can’t Buy You Love,� “Chain Gang,�

“Fly Like an Eagle,� “We Are Family,� “Time Warp� “No One Mourns the Wicked,� “The Gift to be Simple� and of course some Christmas carols to help usher in the Christmas season, such as “Joy to the World� and “Sing We Now of Christmas.�

I must caution you that this version of A Christmas Carol is most unique, as not only has Mr. Scrooge transported himself from the realm of the 1800s and brought us into the 20th century, the ’60s and ’70s to be exact, but the cast of the original characters has been slightly augmented with amusing, shall we say, psychedelic actors.

Since no panto is complete without a dame, this show has not one dame, but two — Mrs. Slapan (played by Bryan McManus) and Mrs. Tickle (played by Laurie Dickson), the bumbling ladies from H.E.L.L. (Home for the Elderly Ladies League).

The topsy-turvy world of pantos includes the lead roles of Scrooge and Dickens being played by female actors in this version. Meredith Millman has taken on the role of Scrooge while Trish Smith narrates the story

School principal, John Cameron, along with teachers Stephanie McDougall and Elizabeth McCormick, presented to the board, an overview of the various factors which have contributed to the schools successful performance.

Cameron attributes the culture of the school, and the belief that all students can learn, and succeed, to the motivation behind the success, which has earned the school provincial recognition. Staff at the school believe that literacy is the responsibility of everyone.

Statistically, St. Joseph’s demographic includes a school population where 31 per cent of students have an individual education plan (IEP), and 11 per cent indicate a first language (spoken at home) other than English.

News – The following are highlights from the regular Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario’s (CDSBEO) meeting held Oct. 15 at the board office in Kemptville.

The CDSBEO Information and Communications Technology Department has been working to upgrade all computer hardware systems available to board students, as well as the Wide Area Network (WAN) infrastructure, which provides network and Internet access to schools.

Peter Spears, from the Department of Information and Communications Technology, presented to the board an overview of the recent changes to the provisions for CDSBEO schools with regards to computer hardware systems and network access. The initiative involves the upgrade and replacement of both hardware computer systems (new laptops to replace old desktop technology), as well as expanded wide area network services to board schools and offices.

The computer hardware refresh cycle, which was completed in June 2013, provides new laptop computers to all CDSBEO elementary and secondary schools. The initiative was rolled-out in three phases over a twoyear period. The newly deployed laptops assist with differentiated instruct, and assistive technology for students with learning accommodations, and helps to reduce the stigma of students requiring extra supports, since laptops are now more readily available to all students.

The new laptops have helped in various additional ways, including improved overall computer performance.

The new units can be more effectively maintained, and software upgrades more easily deployed.

WAN infrastructure upgrades are also currently underway, in conjunction with Bell Aliant. The project began in June 2013, and currently 15 sites have the upgraded network infrastructure in place, with an additional ten sites scheduled for completion by the end of October. Network upgrades will be complete at all schools and offices by June 2014, and the first 25 sites with the infrastructure will be live

Appleton family celebrates 30 years providing haunted house to local children Community – There’s a big old farmhouse at the of Apple Street in Appleton that will be transformed yet again in hopes of attracting children who want a genuine scare come Halloween night.

Jonathan Robinson and several local young people have been providing the fun and terror of a haunted house and this year will be celebrating their 30th year of having a haunted house in Appleton.

“It started 30 years ago when Adam Smith came over and offered to help me scare kids in our old log house,” explained Robinson. “He was only 10 at the time and from there it grew every year and included more and more volunteers.”

Smith is now an adult but the tradition he started continues.

Located at 139 Apple

Street, this Appleton haunted house often boasts as many as 10 volunteers.

“We set up just the day before so nobody has any idea what this year’s house will look like,” said Robinson. “Often local children who watch us set up and then too scared to come into the house.”

Robinson empties the house of furniture and haunted house has several rooms with different activities in each room.

“There’s nothing like chasing a 12-year-old with a chainsaw to give them a scare,” said Jeff Hudder, a longtime volunteer. “Of course the chain is out... but they don’t know that in the dark....the smells and sounds are what really gets the imagination going.”

Hudder is part of the new generation of volunteers that show up every Halloween to put on

a great show. “The neat bringing them back,” said in the past few years. part is that the original Robinson.

“We used to get 150 volunteers are now havRobinson is hoping to people on Halloween, but ing kids of their own and get more participants than lately with fewer children

in village we are down to less than 50 some years,” he said. “We are hoping some children from the surrounding area will stop by on Halloween and get a real good scare.”

Of course we make sure that no one is terrified and we modify the activities for

The haunted house is located at the end of Apple Street. The campfire and and creepy music is a dead giveaway. Apple Street is located just south of the bridge on the west side of the river. Everyone is welcome.

Diefenbunker offers hilarious, horrific adventure for the living this Halloween derek.dunn@metroland.com

News – A band of hipsters in skinny jeans and bookish glasses gathers at the Diefenbunker guardhouse gate, antsy to take part in something called Incident at the Bunker: A Zombie Adventure. Few could have guessed that by tour’s end they would be armed to the hilt with Nerf guns firing wildly in all directions at the marauding undead that were bent on a brainsgorging feast. And yet that’s what happened.

Dun-dun-dun da!

The good folks at Diefenbunker: Canada’s Cold War Museum, in collaboration with The Haunted Walk of Ottawa, put together the Halloween-themed tour that seamlessly weaves entertainment and education.

Participants learn the standard stuff – former bunker built to withstand five-mega ton nuclear bomb, could hold 535 select people, 4,000 pound door, etc. – but that’s just filler for the frightful fun found along the way.

Here’s the set up – according to a press release promoing the event in Carp.

“On a dark and stormy night in October of 1992, a group of scientists gathered in the depths of the Diefenbunker in

the hopes of making the latest scientific breakthrough. The terrifying event that happened next has never been disclosed to the public – until now – 20 years later. Using the latest in time-travel technology, we will journey back and discover the bunker’s most shocking secret.”

Dun-da!

A tour guide donning a black frock and, oddly, a lantern straight out of a Dickens story, leads the group of 20somethings to the Butler Hut for briefing.

“I’d really like to apologize to any of you who were here

last year, or lost loved ones here last year,” he says. “But we’ve really improved things for this year.”

The excellently written script is hilarious throughout.

For instance, before walking down the 378-foot blast tunnel the guide introduces a stern plainclothes guard in dark glasses.

“He’s two days from retirement,” he said, sounding the opposite of ominous. Many giggled and predicted the guard may share the fate of a red shirt on Star Trek.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

Education vital to a strong middle class DEAR EDITOR: The very idea of progress is under real threat in Canada for the first time in generations. The Canadian promise, that if you get educated and work hard, you can guarantee a better life for yourself and for your kids, is being seriously questioned.

Middle-class incomes have stalled for a generation, leaving many Canadians feeling anxious about whether we can afford the education our kids will need and whether we can afford to upgrade our own skills and knowledge to keep pace in an economy where seven of 10 jobs will require a diploma, degree or skilled trade.

While the provinces have constitutional responsibility for education, there is a long history of federal efforts to supplement and support provincial policies. The federal government should support the efforts of individual Canadians to go to university, college or trade school, as well as to continue their education throughout their lives. A high-quality education serves as a roadmap to a rewarding career and fosters the kind of innovation and productivity required for Canadian businesses to succeed.

Yet the education policies of the Conservative government have been

failures. They have ignored a serious problem with low graduation rates for apprentices, which deprive the economy of highly skilled people.

They have done almost nothing to help offset the growing costs of education, letting student debt skyrocket under their watch. Even their new Job Grant program is a shell game which actually takes money away from training programs, and does nothing to support the type of training used so successfully by small businesses.

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau believes we need to take education more seriously as a driver of economic success and security right across the country. He has argued that Canada needs a new national focus on education, which would build Canada’s competitive advantage around a highly skilled, creative and innovative workforce, because Canadians’ ingenuity and work ethic represent the best investment we can make in an era when change is the only constant.

Let’s join Justin and work to make Canada the best educated country on earth.

Rodger Cuzner, MP Liberal Party of Canada Social Development Critic

COMMENTARY

Be Fat Talk free Editorial – Fat Talk Free Week is on now, Oct. 20 to 26 – the focus being on positive self-esteem and body image.

The challenge is for everyone to spend the week with, “no fat talk”. Statements like “Does my butt look big in these jeans?”, “I’m so fat.” “I need to lose 10 pounds”, “She’s too fat to be wearing that swimsuit,” and “You look great! Have you lost weight?” are examples of fat talk from the health unit.

These statements aren’t necessarily all negative, but the meaning behind them – the connotations are there – the need, desire for a thin physique. What might seem like an innocent few words thrown together is actually not.

Simple statements like this can change the outlook a girl has when she looks in the mirror. Can change her perspective when sitting down for a meal, a snack.

Growing up with unrealistic body images seen in major media, on television, commercials, magazines, reinforced through fat talk statements, can often be a horrible recipe for impressionable young girls and women. Instead of focusing on negative untrue statements, why not focus on positive attributes and accomplishments.

The week is being promoted locally by Girls Incorporated of Upper Canada and the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit. Girls Inc. provides programs and services geared towards girls between the ages of six and 18. They The health unit’s idea of Health at Every Size “promotes that healthy bodies come in different shapes and sizes and the best way to improve health is to honour our bodies.”

Girls Inc. is also aiding in promoting positive self-confidence through free one hour workshops being offered to Grades 7 to 10 this week in various schools throughout the area called, “Redefining Beauty: Developing a healthy body image in a body toxic world,” according to the health unit.

Perhaps the best lesson is to think before you speak. To rethink some common phrases that have more of an impact than we can know.

Bake table had several purposes in Depression-era kitchen Lifestyle – Even at a young age, I was aware of the similarity in all the farm kitchens in Northcote. There was always a creton couch, although the shapes varied. Some had one end curved upwards, so a pillow wasn’t needed to rest your head. Our couch lay flat and there wasn’t really a mattress on it. Rather, several layers of quilts protected you from the coil springs, and this couch was where the farmer put his weary head after his noon dinner for a few minutes rest before he headed back out to the fields or the barns.

And every kitchen of course, had a cook stove. Some people just called it, simply, the range. But Mother called our big lumbering iron stove, the Oval.

The other constant in a farm kitchen was the bake table. This differed greatly from the big pine table that stretched out to set at least 12 people when necessary. The bake table was much smaller.

Longer than it was wide, it had a

small drawer at one end. Ours had a white porcelain top and it stood several inches taller than the big table we ate our meals at every day.

Why it was called the bake table, I have no idea because Mother never once baked on it. Perhaps it was because this is where pies were set to cool off, and freshly made loaves of bread waited to be wrapped in split-open brown paper bags saved from orders from Briscoe’s General Store.

The little drawer, much longer than it was wide, held our supply of flour bag tea towels, neatly folded, and ironed of course.

The bake table sat close to the back door, but unless there were pies and freshly baked bread spread out on it, Mother liked to keep it bare.

And heaven forbid that you should put a wet mitt, a school bag, or anything else that would leave a spot on the shiny white porcelain.

people...one at each end, and one on each side.

I didn’t much care for eating at the bake table. It removed me from the joyous activity surrounding the big table, but as well, because the bake table was so much higher, we had to take pillows off the beds to sit on, or else our chins would be in our dinner plates!

Being the youngest in our family, I was always doomed to eat at the bake table with other young cousins. My cousin Ronny loved to eat at the bake table. Then he didn’t have to watch his table manners, and it wasn’t unusual for him to take off his plate anything he didn’t like and put it in his pants’ pocket, and dispose of it after the meal.

The kitchen was the biggest room in our old log house, and there were no built in cupboards. Dishes were kept in the Back-to-the-Wall cupboard, and pots and pans either sat on top of the warming closet of the Findlay Oval, or stored in it.

The bake table was the perfect place, when we hosted the Saturday night house party, for the 11-quart baskets of sandwiches, and the slab cakes brought in by the neighbours for the late-night lunch. When you walked by you could smell the egg salad sandwiches, and the maple icing on the slab cakes.

Mother loved the bake table. I think now it was because it had a porcelain top and wasn’t made of pine like most of the furniture in that old log house. Mother liked any piece of furniture that wasn’t made of pine...she once said pine rhymed with poverty. I was too young to know the meaning behind the comment.

Sometimes Mother sat at the bake table. She would put her sewing basket on it, and do some mending. Or she would spread out the Philadelphia Enquirer. It was considered her table. And all of us, and that included Father, knew better than to put as much as a pencil on it.

Canadian theatre history exhibit extends run at Perth Museum Arts – “Now and Then: Found Treasures of Canadian Theatre History,” an exhibit that has been running all summer at the Perth Museum (Matheson House), is extending its successful run another month until Nov. 4.

The exhibit – a colourful journey through some significant periods in the post-World War II development of Canadian culture, as well as some remarkable

pieces of Perth’s own theatrical history that go back almost a century – has been a big hit with tourists who toured the installation before and after shows at the Classic Theatre Festival this past summer.

“We’ve had a lot of ‘wow’ moments from visitors who have really enjoyed this trip down Canada’s theatrical memory lane,” says museum curator

Karen Rennie. “Where else in this neck of the woods can you see 1950s resume pictures of Christopher Plummer and William Shatner before they found international fame?”

The exhibit was largely inspired by the lives of Canadian actors Bernard Behrens and Deborah Cass, both of whom worked in the early years of Stratford and CBC, touring

North America with Canadian Players, playing summer stock, and performing at the Toronto Crest Theatre, Halifax’s Neptune Theatre, and the Shaw Festival. They were part of a generation whose faces many Canadians grew up watching both on stage and on TV shows such as The Forest Rangers and The Beachcombers, and many of those performers are featured in photographs and paintings at the Perth Museum exhibit.

The Now and Then part of the exhibit focuses on original Canadian productions of shows

that have been performed by the Classic Theatre Festival, from The Marriage-Go-Round and The Star-Spangled Girl (last summer’s lineup) to Bell, Book and Candle and The Fourposter.

Visitors to the museum exhibit still have an opportunity to enjoy the sights of Stratford in the 1950s and 1960s, from the colourful playbills and season posters to original magazine stories about landmark moments in Stratford’s theatrical history.

They’ll also see original paintings by legendary Canadian actor Gordon Pinsent, as well as

memorabilia from Perth’s very own Balderson Theatre, which for years was the largest theatre between Toronto and Montreal and was the home of the comic troupe The Marks Brothers.

“This has certainly been a unique look back at some of the founding companies of modern Canadian theatre, and it’s great that we have this opportunity to continue sharing this with visitors as well as residents who haven’t had a chance to see it yet,” says Rennie.

The exhibit, at 11 Gore Street East, runs until Nov. 4.

The 39 Steps proves itself the path to laughter at Full Circle Theatre Arts – BarnDoor Productions, Perth’s original community theatre, has hit the boards right on the funny bone with their season opening production of John Buchan and Patrick Barlow’s The 39 Steps. “It’s been a long time since I laughed so hard,� offered one patron.

The comedy adaptation of the 1935 Alfred Hitchcock movie had long runs in both London’s West End and on Broadway, where it become the longest running play of the 2000s. BarnDoor’s new staging is fast and energetic, keeping the action and laughs flowing. It’s a clown show, without the wigs, big shoes and funny noses, but filled with comedy “bits� and laughter.

Hero Richard Hannay, played by Garry Welsh, is a forthright young man just returned from abroad (from Canada, actually) and at a loss as to what to do with his life. Seeking a “mindless and trivial� diversion (“I know!� he says. “A show at the Full Circle Theatre! There’s nothing more mindless than that!�), he suddenly finds himself caught up in a mystery that involves voluptuous international spies, frantic chases through the Scottish moors and murder. It’s the stuff of a spy novel – which, of course, is exactly what it is, based on John Buchan’s 1915 book.

The trick of the play is that all of the many, many characters in the show are played by a handful of people, switching hats and accents from scene to scene, and, often, line to line. The actor playing the lead of Richard Hannay is the only one who plays just one character.

Juli Heney provides the potential for love in Hannay’s life, both as the shy but eager Margaret, a young Scots woman trapped in a loveless marriage, and as Pamela, forthright and courageous but linked to Hannay in his flight – literally, as they spend the second act handcuffed together!

Donna Bourgeault is the sultry spy, Annabella Schmidt, at first (think Natasha from Rocky and Bullwinkle, but with a German accent), but also an English lady, a Scottish hotel-keeper,

ling underwear salesmen on a train to RAF pilots to milkmen to inept policemen (whose exploits are accompanied by the Benny Hill chase theme music).

Their respective turns as the evil spy mastermind, Professor Jordan, and as vaudeville performer Mr. Memory, are highlights of the night.

Audience favourite moments are many: Welsh, fleeing, finding himself in the middle of a pipe and drum band parade and tying his jacket around his waist as a kilt, joining the band and escaping; Daley as a dour Scots farmer, reciting an increasingly hellfire-and-brimstone dinner blessing while watching his wife flirt with his guest; the ongoing game of “spot the Hitchock reference� the cast play; a political meeting hosted by a trio of aged and decrepit party organizers, who mistake fugitive Hannay for their guest speaker; Welsh and Heney, handcuffed together, attempting to negotiate a stile and becoming more and more entangled. And, of course, the famous, or infamous, garter incident, which must be seen.

The actors are left to their own devices to turn props and furniture to clever use, with the basic set, depicting a theatre stage and “stalls� (box seats, as we would call them on this side of the Atlantic), providing the backdrop to imagination, conjuring scenes from the Scottish moors to a farmer’s cottage to Hannay’s apartment and much more. Two ladders and a plank be-

Above, sultry spy Annabella (Donna Bourgeault) is murdered in the arms of dashing hero Richard Hannay (Garry Welsh) to start the story rolling in BarnDoor Productions’ new staging of John Buchan and Patrick Barlow’s The 39 Steps, which runs Thursday through Sunday this week at the Full Circle Theatre in Perth.

come the Forth Bridge, two stools and the same plank become a stile, three stools become the hardest bed anyone ever slept in – or on. Along with a sound-scape of music and effects and lighting by Nolan Popplewell that takes full advantage of the Full Circle Theatre’s newly upgraded system, it’s a production that calls on the audience to use their imagination as much as the actors and rewards them with two hours of fun.

That’s what the show is all about: imagination and fun. Author Patrick Barlow imagined Hitchcock’s movie as a comedy; Hitchcock imagined John Buchan’s novel as an adventure movie – and John Buchan imagined a story that has been credited with creating the whole genre of spy novels.

The purpose of an adventure story is, of course, fun and, in the case of Barlow’s adaptation and BarnDoor’s staging, a whole evening of laughs.

The 39 Steps concludes its run this week, running Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights at 8 p.m. and Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. (Oct. 24, 25, 26 and 27). Tickets are $20 reserved or $22 at the door; students are just $10.

To reserve, simply call 613-267-1884 or visit www.barndoorproductions.ca.

No credit cards required; cash on arrival is requested. The Full Circle Theatre is at 26 Craig Street, Perth, near Last Duel Park.

Würzburg, Germany’s rise from destruction remarkable almost perfectly.”

High explosive bombs toppled buildings across the medieval centre of Würzburg. Individual fires sparked by the incendiary devices quickly spread to form a huge conflagration, generating extremely high temperatures. The blaze could be seen from a distance of more than 120 miles by the bomber crews returning home.

The blaze quickly became a firestorm.

In just 17 minutes the centre of Würzburg was 90 per cent destroyed. The suburbs of the city were 68 per cent razed. The death toll was a staggering 5,000. Most suffocated from the heat, either in bomb shelters or in the basements of their homes as they cowered trying to escape the near total destruction of their community.

To avoid being caught in the inferno many people ran for their lives, hoping to reach the banks of the Main River which runs through Würzburg. Among the dead were an estimated 2,000 unregistered refugees who were in the city.

Just 3,000 bodies were recovered. They were buried in a mass grave near the entrance to the main cemetery. American forces occupied the city three weeks later.

Before the war the population of Würzburg was just over 100,000. At the time of the destructive raid it is estimated 75,000-85,000 remained in the city.

Total destruction The massive attack leveled an estimated 21,000 homes and 35 churches.

Among the destroyed or damaged, historic landmarks were the Würzburg Ca-

thedral and parts of the huge Würzburg Residence (circa 1744), home of the prince-bishops for 200 years.

Also badly damaged was “Festung Marienberg” (Fortress Marienberg), the ancient castle which stands like a beacon overlooking Würzburg and the River Main.

Earlier this month I wrote a column about Canada’s Bomber Command veterans and the fact they are finally being recognized for their sacrifices during the Second World War. One third of Bomber Command’s strength was Canadians and 10,000 of our countrymen died during the air war over Nazi-controlled Europe.

At the time the Bomber Command column appeared in the paper my wife and I were in Germany on vacation with our friends Frank and Wendy LeBlanc.

One of our stops during the two-week stay in southern Germany and northeast France was Würzburg.

I had authored the Bomber Command column (it has generated a lot of reader feedback) just prior to traveling. Therefore it was sobering to learn about the level of death and destruction Würzburg suffered so late in WW II. The British bomber group which attacked Würzburg were, of course, part

of Bomber Command. But the suffering of the city’s civil population was similar to that of people in so many cities in England, France, Russia, the Netherlands and many other nations during a brutal and deadly world war.

The oft-repeated statement “war is hell” came to mind during our tour of Würzburg. We visited the small museum which stands as a permanent reminder of what happened to the city and its residents on that terrible night in 1945.

Frank and I were able to examine an unexploded Allied incendiary device which was disarmed and is now part of the museum collection.

The pictures we saw of Würzburg after the air raid, taken in 1945 and 1946, show the incredible extent of the destruction. In fact seeing the aftermath first-hand prompted an American army officer to suggest the ruins should be left untouched as “a monument to the effects of aerial warfare.” His opinion that Würzburg “should be rebuilt elsewhere” was definitely not an idle thought!

Instead the city has been painstakingly restored on the original footprint, literally from the ground up. During our visit we were amazed at how much has been accomplished. Würzburg’s rebirth is truly remarkable!

The first task was removing the unbelievable amount of rubble left by the air raid. An estimated 2.7 million cubic metres of debris had to be moved. That job wasn’t completed until 1964, a full 19 years later. Most of the heavy work was done by women because the men were either dead or taken prisoner of war. Würzburg’s destruction was more

total than that of Dresden which is normally held up as the prime example of Germany’s suffering during the Bomber Command offensive.

But unlike some other German cities, including Ulm (two hours away by road) which was also heavily damaged

by Allied bombs in 1944, Würzburg has been carefully restored. The buildings of historic importance have been accurately replicated. The community is once again the post card perfect place it was before the air raid.

During our day in Würzburg we toured the dramatic residence of the prince-bishops, one of two castles in the city. It was almost completely gutted by flames resulting from the air raid.

Only the central vestibule, garden hall, main staircase and two halls survived although their roofs were burned away.

Restoration ongoing The sprawling residence, which is now on the UNESCO World Heritage List, has been totally rebuilt although many individual rooms have yet to be refurbished, 68 years after they were consumed by flames. It is clearly a lengthy and complicated process.

Later in the day the four of us completed the steep climb to Fortress Marienberg, overlooking Würzburg and the River Main.

The ancient castle was ravaged by fire following the air raid and reconstruction work inside continues. The massive structure, originally built in 704 AD, is the main symbol of WürzSee COLUMN page 21

Lifestyle – The air raid sirens in Würzburg, Germany began to wail at 7 p.m. on the night of March 16, 1945.

At first it was a low-level alert. Air raid warnings were nothing new in the historic city located in the Franconia region of northern Bavaria. This time, however, things would be very different!

One hour after the first siren sounded the alert was raised to a high alarm. A full alarm was given to the residents at 9:07 and the first bombs began to drop just 18 minutes later.

This was no ordinary raid. The decision to attack Würzburg was made by Royal Air Force Command at High Wycombe, west of London. By the closing weeks of World War II the community had been relatively undamaged. It was on the route to other targets including nearby Nuremberg.

The unit undertaking the attack was No. 5 Group which had also executed the heaviest raid on Dresden just one month earlier.

On March 16 a total of 236 bombers, 225 Lancasters and 11 Mosquitoes, had taken off from their bases in southeast England in the early evening. They were guided over France with the help of a sophisticated radar system. Favourable weather conditions assisted the bomber crews in reaching the target which was brightly illuminated with magnesium flares (commonly called “Christmas trees”) dropped by the Mosquitoes.

Three waves of aircraft unleashed nearly 1,000 pounds of bombs. Among them were over 300,000 incendiaries.

The Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust Conservancy (MMLTC) invites you, and maybe that special someone, to a fundraising gala dinner on Friday, Nov. 8 at the Almonte Civitan Club. Runtz’s presentation will be the highlight of the evening which will also feature a silent auction offering a wide range of useful and interesting items, with an emphasis on services, ranging from weekends in the woods to private gourmet dinners to guided walks.

Runtz is one of Canada’s most highly respected naturalists, nature photographers and natural history authors. Eleven best-selling publications offer evidence of his passion, knowledge and stunning photography. His infectious and enthusiastic teaching style attracts thousands of students annually to his Natural History course at Carleton University for which he has received awards for teaching excellence from students and peers alike.

But nowhere does Runtz feel more at home than in the natural world itself – howling with the elusive wolf, digging out salamanders from under a rotting log, luring in rutting moose with his skillful calls, or capturing speeding dragonflies with his net. His rich personal encounters with nature provide enlightening and highly amusing anecdotes for his listeners.

The Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust Conservancy will host a fundraising gala dinner Friday, Nov. 8 at the Almonte Civitan Club. Special guest speaker for the event will be naturalist, photographer and author Michael Runtz, who will provide a visual look at the sexy side of nature, an example of which are the beavers shown above.

The Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust conserves exceptional natural spaces for future generations, including High Lonesome Nature Reserve, Blueberry Mountain and Rose Hill Nature Reserve. MMLTC is legally required to care for the properties for 1,000 years and all proceeds from this fundraising event will be used to do that.

SATURDAY OCTOBER 26

News – There’s no denying that home renovations can increase the value of your home.

According to the Canadian Home Renovation Survey (www.aicanada.ca/e/findappraiser_home. cfm) a kitchen or bathroom renovation can be expected to nearly double the amount you invest.

According to the survey, $10,000 spent will increase your home’s value by $17,500 to $20,000. To look at another example, for every $1 you spend to paint, inside or out, expect to get $1.50 to $2 back.

The survey listed the top 20 most-frequently performed renovation projects, along with the expected return each. (See table below). It’s clear that renovating adds value.

• Bathroom renovation: 75 to 100 per cent • Kitchen renovation: 75 to 100 per cent • Interior painting: 50 to 100 per cent • Exterior painting: 50 to 100 per cent

News – Many Ontarians live on floodplains or close to lakes, rivers and creeks. Despite the obvious benefits of living close to bodies of water the risk of being impacted by flooding can be a serious concern.

In Canada, flood insurance isn’t available to homeowners.

Certain water damage may be covered by homeowner policies, including sewer backup and burst pipes but overland flooding is not covered.

The Ontario Real Estate Asso-

1:00pm-2:30pm

1:00pm-3:00pm

ciation offers the following tips to reduce the chances of flood damage to your home: • Access material about flood reduction from your local municipality; contact your municipality to find out where sand and bags are available should a flood occur.

• Walk around your home after a heavy rainfall to see where water is pooling. If water flows toward the home, seek professional advice about directing water away from the home.

• Clean gutters and downspouts.

• Make sure your home’s drain tiles work. The basement may flood if tiles are old or plugged and need replacing.

• Flood proof the basement or ground floor, which involves sealing the foundation.

• Install backflow valves on basement floor drains, washing machine drains, toilets and sink drains.

• Buy a sump pump and make sure it’s ready to be used.

However, the survey warns that expected returns are dependent on many factors such as property location and quality of workmanship. Ill-conceived or poorly built renovations can actually decrease a home’s value.

If you’re looking to increase the value of your home via renovation before selling, experts suggest following a few common-sense guidelines: • Build for good returns. Sticking with the projects that are most likely to increase your investment gives you a good margin of safety in case things don’t go as planned. When in doubt, leave it out.

• Build to similar quality as the rest of your home and the homes surrounding it. Improvements that are “over-built” will not realize full value.

• Build for your location.

Don’t add air conditioning if you only need it for two days in August.

burg. It was home to the prince-bishops for nearly five centuries prior to the construction of the residence in the city proper. Today it stands as a monument to those who rebuilt it. On cursory examination one would never know much of the castle isn’t original!

The once battered centre of WĂźrzburg is now a wonderful blend of old and new. More modern interiors are masked by the fabulous, half-timbered exteriors which are features of so many German communities.

The cobblestone streets in the city centre help complete what, in truth, is a façade. Most of the original buildings are gone. Only the foundations are original.

Today trams share the streets with commercial vehicles in the bustling downtown area of WĂźrzburg (population 125,000). Sidewalk cafĂŠs and Gasthofs (restaurants which also rent rooms) were doing a brisk business at lunch hour on a perfect fall day.

We strolled across the Old Main Bridge which is now pedestrianized and marveled at the idyllic city with its wide river, its two castles and tall church spires.

WĂźrzburg in 2013 is proof of the resiliency of people. It is a triumph of the human spirit!

A brochure about the air raid of 1945 ends with a chapter entitled ‘Reconciliation with the Enemies.’ It explains how initial bad relations between the residents of WĂźrzburg and the Ameri-

can occupiers were overcome through the efforts of several individuals. The city is now twinned with Caen, France (also heavily bombed during the war) Dundee, Scotland and Rochester, New York.

In 2001, WĂźrzburg became a member of the “Cross of Nailsâ€? initiative founded in Coventry, England a city destroyed by German bombs in 1940.

Past events will never and should never be forgotten. But ultimately forgiveness has replaced bitterness and WĂźrzburgers have turned the page to a new and bright chapter in the long and intriguing history of their community.

1935 Dodge sedan – a perfect blend of old and new Lifestyle – Mac and Sue Hyatt of Leamington, Ontario, own a 1935 Dodge 4-door sedan originally built in Michigan. Many years later, Bob Menard of Windsor, Ont., purchased the car and turned it into a street rod with a Corvair front suspension, a 9-inch Ford rear end, and a 289 cubic inch Ford motor and transmission. The car was repainted a bright yellow with orange flames.

“In 1986,” recalls Mac, “I began looking for ‘my’ street rod. I always went to the Classic Cruisers car show in Leamington and there was Bob’s car for sale. I purchased it and for the next four or five years, we drove it to car shows everywhere, and everywhere we went, it was still known as ‘Bob’s car,’ so Sue and I decided to make it ‘our’ car. We took it to Dennis Pillon of ‘Wheel Razar’, where we completely disassembled the car and he began the restoration. I was able to work along with him.

“Sue fell in love with the colour – Candy Wineberry from PPG. The entire car was taken down to bare metal, followed by two coats of silver metallic, then 12 coats of Red Clear, then three clear coats to protect the red, for a total of 17 light coats of urethane enamel. The car was completed in 1993. I took it to the Detroit Autorama and it won First in its Class, which shows what kind of work Dennis did.

“But what was a Ford engine doing in a Dodge? A few years later, I bought a disassembled Hemi engine from a friend: a 330 cubic inch DeSoto Hemi engine, built only in 1956.

Missing a few parts, I found a ’56 DeSoto parts car in Toronto. Now I had all the parts I needed to rebuild the engine. A later model Torque Flite 727 automatic transmission and adapter plate was assembled onto the Hemi.

“Newly painted fenders and front end were carefully removed to install the new 330 Hemi. I also found a dual quad intake from a 1957 341 cubic inch DeSoto Adventurer and installed it on the 330 engine. Now our ’35 Dodge was truly a Mopar guy’s car.

A few years later, a completely new interior was installed by Mr. B in Coatsworth and air conditioning by Frank Wall in Cottam.

“Over the past 27 years, Sue and I have enjoyed attending many car shows and the car has won many major awards, including Best of Show in New Hamburg and Outstanding Ontario Car in Frankenmuth, Michigan.

Sue and I hope to enjoy our ’35 for many more years to come.”

I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, ON N8H 3W2.

Everyone whose story is published in this column will receive a free autographed copy of my latest book: “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURITE STORIES, 1925 to 1965.”

Mikael Hafstrom’s Escape Plan should have been made in 1980s MOVIE: Escape Plan STARRING: Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Amy Ryan, Vinnie Jones and Jim Caviezel DIRECTOR: Mikael Hafstrom RATING: 14A Arts – It’s hard to believe Escape Plan wasn’t made in the ’80s. Back then fans would have lined up in droves to see Stallone and Schwarzenegger in the same film, but I suppose it’s better late than never.

Ray Breslin (Sylvester Stallone) makes his living by breaking out of prisons. He’s the leading authority in structural security. As such he gets hired to go into a prison as a prisoner, finds the

prison’s weak points, exploits them, and then breaks out.

Normally Ray and his team work within the system, but the CIA needs Ray to test a new facility. It’s run by a private corporation, in a secret location, and it holds the worst criminals in the world.

There are no trials, no parole and as far as the public is concerned it doesn’t exist.

Despite his better judgment Ray agrees to the job, but soon after he’s picked up he realizes his mistake. He’s drugged, blindfolded, and taken to the secret prison. When he comes to the warden, Hobbes (Jim Caviezel) isn’t the man Ray was told was the warden, and Hobbes has no idea who Ray really is.

My Take MARK HASKINS

Lied to, betrayed, Ray is trapped in a high tech prison that was built by someone who has read his book frontwards and backwards. The only person willing to help him is a fellow prisoner named Emil Rottmayer (Arnold Schwarzenegger). Together they might be able to find

out how to escape. It’s the ultimate escape artist versus the ultimate prison.

Escape Plan isn’t as bad as I thought it would be. The story is actually pretty clever. Stallone’s character, Ray, is a genius when it comes to solving a very particular kind of puzzle – that of breaking out of prisons. The secret prison he’s taken to, called The Tomb, is the ultimate puzzle, and it is interesting to see how he solves it. In order to get Ray into The Tomb you have to be willing to overlook a few plot points that don’t make sense, but I guess the important thing is that Ray gets in the Tomb.

The other reason to see this film is to see Stallone and Schwarzenegger to-

gether. A lot of fans have wanted to see this team up for a long time. Of course some might say it should have happened 30 years ago, but even so, these guys are still fun to watch. There’s a competitive edge to their chemistry, but it works.

Amy Ryan, 50 Cent, Sam Neil and Vinnie Jones round out the rest of the cast nicely. I especially enjoyed seeing Jim Caviezel in the role of Hobbes.

There is something about Caviezel that makes him the perfect arrogant villain.

Escape Plan has been a long time coming. It wasn’t exactly worth the wait, but it wasn’t terrible either.

One year ago I was told I needed to have this done on my 2007 Caliber, when I took it in for a regular servicing.

Lifestyle – “Hello Brian, I have my airbag light on in my 1997 Dodge Intrepid. I think it is ‘old age’ as there has been no collision. Is it a “normally open� switch which closes on an impact? Can you describe it to me? I understand there is one on the driver’s side and one on the front passenger side.

How can I find out which one has triggered the airbag light? Any info would be much appreciated.

Many thanks, Colin�

Yes the impact sensor system is basically a switch, but there’s much more to it than that. First you need to find out what code is stored causing the light to come on. There are two impact sensors on the front of the car, the air-bag units themselves, an inertia sensor in the dash, a computer and all the wiring that connects them together.

There are more than 20 different codes that can cause the airbag light to come on that particular model. It could be anything from an airbag unit to a sensor to wiring or a connector. The only thing that’s certain is that if the light is on, the airbags will not deploy in a collision.

You would need an airbag computer scanner to find out which code(s) is present and for each there is a rather involved diagnostic/wiring chart to follow to get the bottom of things. It’s best left to the pros. “Hi Brian, Just a simple question, one that various people will not comment on for some reason. When paying for a synthetic oil to be used in an oil change, how does a consumer know if what he/she pays for is what he/she gets? This is important since there is a good difference in price (between regular and synthetic oil).

Thank you G W�

When it comes to oil sold in individual litre units, you can always ask to see the sealed bottles with the brand name labels. When it comes to bulk quantities in storage tanks, a retailer can always show you a delivery slip indicating the supplier and oil type. In many cases it’s a matter of trust but keep in mind that if a retailer is caught substituting bargain basement priced oil for a more expensive brand-name synthetic; he or she won’t be open for long.

One oil to stay away from is anything labeled semi-synthetic. From research I did several years ago the ‘semi’ designation does not bring anything close to the expected 50 per cent of synthetic in the mix, but only around 10 to 15 per cent

Take the fright out of driving this Halloween with these tips through its Be Car Care Aware (BCCA) program.

“By practicing cautious driving and performing regular vehicle maintenance, we can help keep everyone safe this Hallowe’en,” said Marc Brazeau, president and chief executive officer, AIA Canada. “Be sure to check your vehicle’s safety items and remind children of basic safety rules before heading out trick-or-treating.”

More than 64 per cent of surveyed Canadians say that vehicle servicing is important to them to protect their family’s safety, according to DesRosiers’ 2013 Light Vehicle Study.

With that in mind, below

are some driving and vehicle maintenance tips that can help promote safety and ward off any scares for motorists this Halloween: • Check your lights. Replace any burnt out signal lights or headlights straight away. Properly functioning lights are critical for spotting the ghouls and goblins that will be roaming your neighbourhood this Halloween, and for overall road safety.

• Drive slowly and abide by the speed limit. Drivers should slow down in neighborhoods and be on high alert for children crossing streets or emerging from between parked cars. • Check your brakes. Your brake sys-

tem is the most vital safety component of your vehicle as it allows you to stop to avoid collision. Check that your brakes are in good working order in the event that you need to make a quick stop. Overly excited trick-or-treaters may not always look both ways before crossing the street!

• Check your tires. Worn tires lose their ability to grip the road in adverse conditions. Stopping on wet roads can take up to four times the normal distance of stopping on dry roads. Drivers should check their tire inflation pressure as well as tread depth and wear at least once per month to ensure their tires are gripping

the road properly.

• Check your horn. Honk, honk! Make sure your horn is working in the event that you need to alert other drivers or pedestrians of danger, or get their attention (and to ward off monsters).

• Get a vehicle check-up.

Regular maintenance is the best form of prevention for breakdowns. Bring your vehicle to an auto repair shop or qualified mechanic this Hallowe’en for a check-up to make sure your vehicle is prepared for the colder months that lie ahead.

For more tips on how to improve the safety of your vehicle, you can visit: www.

BeCarCareAware.ca.

About AIA AIA is the national trade association representing the automotive aftermarket industry in Canada. The aftermarket is a $19.4 billion industry that employs 420,000 people.

The industry is composed of companies that manufacture, distribute and install automo-

tive replacement parts, accessories, tools, and equipment.

As part of its mandate, AIA works to promote preventative maintenance through its Be Car Care Aware consumer education program.

Lifestyle – While Halloween is one of the most festive nights of the year for children it also ranks among the most dangerous for young pedestrians.

To help promote safety on this spooky and fun filled evening, there are steps that motorists should take to prevent unwanted scares on the road.

By performing a quick check of your vehicle and taking extra precautions when driving through neighborhoods, you can help make sure any frights are reserved for the holiday, not for the road, according to representatives from the Automotive Industries Association (AIA) of Canada,

UCDSB trustees review student representation at board table “The idea was that the protégé would follow the student trustee to some of their meetings, gain some experience and then through the election process be selected as the student trustee for the following year. But in the last few years, that just hasn’t happened.”

Instead, the position has been contested in recent years, and a different student trustee has been selected instead of the student who initially served as protégé.

McMillan and other trustees noted that student leaders who will host regional Student Senate meetings under recent changes will receive the training and experience a protégé would receive – helping assist with succession planning. They added that since the student trustee-elect is chosen in February that there is sufficient time for the current student trustee to mentor the student trustee-elect and prepare them for the role. Both the

student trustee and student trustee-elect attend an annual conference where the preparation for the successor is enhanced.

During the session, trustees also passed a motion that amended the bylaw on voting at board meetings. The amendment will make it standard procedure for the chair to vote on all board motions unless specified otherwise.

also abolished the position because they felt that, with the recent changes to the Student Senate, the student trustee is being offered enough mentoring, support and training to fulfill the role without the backup of a protégé.

First vice-chair Jeff McMillan proposed the protégé position be eliminated.

“Basically, the position was created a few years ago to ensure some continuity to the role of student trustee,” explained McMillan.

News – Trustees agreed Wednesday, Oct. 9 with a new direction for the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) Student Senate, offering more consistent representation and four regional representatives to support the student trustee.

To bolster this new structure, trustees voted to eliminate the position of student trustee protégé because it was not fulfilling the mandate for which it was created. Trustees

Welcoming newcomers, encouraging youth and celebrating community Ontario Chamber of Commerce president talks about diversity at Perth awards gala

By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

News – Allan O’Dette missed the turn off Highway 401 last week as he travelled from Toronto to the Perth and District Chamber of Commerce awards gala Oct. 17.

He had intended to take the Tweed exit to visit with his 104-year-old grandmother, who is in a seniors’ facility there.

“I didn’t remember to exit until I got to Kingston,” O’Dette told the 191 guests gathered at Code’s Mill.

O’Dette, the president and CEO of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, and voice of 60,000 businesses from across Ontario was the guest speaker during the event. He spoke fondly of his grandmother, whom he said he always visits when he gets the chance.

“She understands what’s go-

ing on in the world, although she hears with an aid… she gets on well.”

O’Dette brought a message to those gathered at the mill last week, about how to encourage a chamber to thrive.

“If you’re waiting for the politicians (of the community) to reinvent your community, you will be waiting a long time,” he said. “You have to look in the mirror for change… look at your neighbour and look across the table. Change starts here. It’s got to start here.”

He spoke about encouraging the next generation of business people and giving youth a chance, today.

“You need to have trust in them,” he said. “They have no fear.”

Another point of chamber success lies within the newcomers to town, he said.

Perth and District Chamber of Commerce president Jill Campbell presents Ontario Chamber president Allan O’Dette with a gift basket during the awards gala at Code’s Mill on Oct. 17.

“You have to encourage newcomers and make them feel welcome because you’re going to need them,” O’Dette said.

Creating culture to drive productivity is another aspect of a successful Chamber of Commerce, he said.

Prior to joining the OCC, O’Dette was the director of external relations and national private markets for GlaxoSmithKline Canada Inc. He has more than 25 years experience in the biopharmaceutical industry.

He is active on the boards of Life Sciences Ontario, the Master of Biotechnology Program at the University of Toronto, and the Markham Stouffville Hospital, where he is a board director.

He also serves on the CivicAction Steering Committee.

O’Dette was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee medal. He holds a B.A.

from Trent University and an M.B.A. from the Rotman School of Business at the University of Toronto.

Pauline Fritchett, the Perth and District Chamber of Commerce general manager, agrees with O’Dette when it comes to encouraging participation in the chamber.

“We have 370 members and it’s a very diverse chamber,” said Fritchett. “We do see younger members, but we do see a need to cultivate that. It’s growing.”

Fritchett added that they do also welcome newcomers, and have hosted seminars geared to immigrants.

“I think our After 5 events are becoming more popular,” she added. “It’s a way for our new members to meet others in Perth and district, and that’s important.”

Perth chamber awards recognize people who make a difference “That’s exactly why I started up my business nearly three years ago. Cat’s Cove Writing happened because I love having the chance to help others tell their story.”

She says she’s gotten a good glimpse into why Perth and district is so special.

“Like many, I’ve gone away for my studies and not thinking I’d return. But ever since I returned home, I’ve had the chance to discover different pockets of Perth and district. From covering council meetings for The Perth Courier to working on website content for Tay Valley Township to teaching communications at Algonquin College, I feel like I’ve really had a glimpse into why and how Perth and district is so special,” she said.

James added she’s enjoyed the opportunity to write the stories of people from a community in which she grew up and loves.

“I’ve been fortunate to be part of that experience,” she said.

COMMUNITY SERVICE AWARD Not every year does the chamber present the Community Service Award.

According to Pauline Fritchett, general manager of the chamber, it’s an award that is presented only when they feel it will go to a truly deserving person.

“We felt that the work Hugh Colton has been doing with his Build a Mountain of Food campaign, we needed to present this award this

News – For the first time, the Perth and District Chamber of Commerce recognized the importance of youth during its annual awards gala last week with the presentation of a new award for young entrepreneurship.

Cathy James of Cat’s Cove Writing Services was the recipient of this inaugural award, presented by Valley Heartland Community Futures Development Corporation.

“I feel truly honoured to be the first recipient of this award,” James said.

She added that to be called “young” at this point of her life – having just had a baby 10 months ago, felt special.

“I was feeling pretty old this morning following a sleepless night with my 10-month-old son, so being named in the Young Entrepreneur Category definitely helps put things in perspective,” she said with a laugh.

James was quick to give thanks for the support of her family, friends and community for the success of her business, which she started three years ago.

Starting your own business usually becomes reality for one main reason: you have a passion for what you do and you want to share it with others.

year,” she said.

Colton praised the support of partners like Brad Kyle at his place of business, Town and Country Chrysler in Smiths Falls, and the team at Lake 88 radio in Perth, as well as “Mr. and Mrs. Joe Gallipeau, who have become like family to me.”

“Without their help, this wouldn’t be possible,” Colton said.

“Communities that work together thrive together,” he said. “I’ve met some amazing people in all parts of this community and they have allowed me to have a job I love and want to do.”

COMMUNITY BUILDERS AWARD Dick Stanton of Lambden Window and Door Sales Limited was the recipient of the Lanark Leeds Home Builders Association Member Achievement Award.

This award, according to Natalie Armstrong of Enbridge, who presented it, goes to a recipient who has helped shape the industry and has left a mark on the community.

“His demonstration in customer service is unwavering,” she said.

Stanton was emotional when he accepted the award.

“It’s a real shocker,” he said. “It’s nice to win the award and it means a lot. On behalf of my wife Suzanne and I, we will cherish the award very much.”

Algonquin earns top marks News – Team Ontario, builders of Echo House, consisting of students from Algonquin College’s Perth and Ottawa campuses, Carleton University, and Queen’s University placed an impressive sixth overall in the International Solar Decathlon competition in California.

Nineteen International teams built attractive cost-effective, energy-efficient solar-powered prototype homes over the course of the previous year.

The solar Decathlon is a bi-annual event, sponsored by the United States Department of Energy and has teams competing from such prestigious institutions such as Stanford University as well as international teams from counties such as Austria and the Czech Republic.

The outstanding success of Team Ontario reflects well on the education and experience the students have received in their respective programs. Team Ontario competed in the nine-day head-to-head event in 10 categories such as heating, architecture, and engineering, where the Team Ontario placed first.

Most impressive to our community is the substantial contribution from the students in the Construction Carpentry Advanced Housing Diploma Program at the Perth Campus where the bulk of the building was constructed.

The Perth Campus and project Construction Manager, Jacob Morgan a second-year student in Advanced Housing, oversaw the Echo Project House move to the Ottawa Campus, were on location of the final build at the end of term during the summer, and led Team Ontario in California for the setup and dismantling on site.

“To a great degree the success of the Echo House project can be contributed to students such as Jacob Morgan whose leadership, drive and determination carried the project to completion,” says Mark Bell, Professor of the Advanced Housing Program in Perth. “To be able to apply program knowledge and skills on such a prestigious project reflects really well on the students in the Advanced Housing program and on the other members of Team Ontario.”

Best Western Plus Perth Parkside Inn & Spa celebrates first birthday Business – Best Western Plus Perth Parkside Inn & Spa officially celebrating its first birthday Oct. 18. While many businesses in the hospitality industry struggle to get afloat in their first year of operation, Best Western Plus Perth has far exceeded any expectations the owners or community could have possibly imagined.

A fact that owners Brent Brownlee, John Hinton, Chris Saumure and their families are quite proud of.

With the 2014 wedding season already fully booked, and a full house during much of the coming summer, Best Western Plus Perth is not slowing down yet. What are they doing to celebrate this milestone? Giving back with a gift to the community; stay with Best Western Plus Perth any Sunday for the rest of the 2013 year and receive a special rate of only $111 per night!

This won’t be the first time the hotel has taken part in giving back to the community. Currently,

the Best Western Plus Perth is partnered with many local businesses including; The Stone Cellar Restaurant, Kelly’s Flowers, Classic Theatre Festival, Studio Theatre, Fulton’s Pancake House, and four of the local golf courses (Perth Links O’Tay, Mapleview, Smiths Falls Golf & Country Club and Lombard Glen).

General Manager, Pat Wiseman, attends and participates in many of the charity golf tournaments held in the Ottawa Valley and Lanark County; including the 2013 Warden’s Tournament in support of the United Way. The hotel has also made numerous donations to causes close to their hearts such as Big Brothers Big Sisters, Canadian Cancer Society and the Special Olympics.

During the Grand opening of the Best Western Plus Perth, Ron Pohl, Best Western Senior VP described seeing “the highest community participation he has ever seen.”

Way to go Perth!

The strengths of this hotel do not end with its community involvement. With great staff in place the hotel has achieved many awards for their world class service and quality.

Among those achievements is the Best Western Housekeeping award for outstanding cleanliness, Best Western Award for outstanding quality assessment, Best Western Director’s award and the CAA triple diamond award. The hotel has participated in many festivals and shows in the last year including the Kingston Wedding Show, National Women’s Show, Smiths Falls Healthy Living Festival, Perth’s Festival of the Maples, Stewart Park Festival and the Ottawa Bridal Party Show. The hotel became an international success when Team Finland of the IIHF women’s hockey championship stayed at the

hotel in March. Upon departure the entire team was extremely pleased with their stay and told Pat Wiseman, General Manager, that if they were ever back in the area, they would choose to stay with Best Western Plus Perth.

This hotel is a great place for not only the tourists travelling to Perth but the locals who want to enjoy some rest and relaxation as well.

Offering 54 distinctive rooms, including seven luxury suites, every guest room has a hydrotherapy jet tub, microwave and mini-fridge.

A stay with the Best Western also includes use of the salt-water tranquility pool, hot tub, steam room and fitness centre.

Take an online virtual tour of the hotel on their website www.bestwesternplusperth.com for more.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Public papers belong in public hands

E

ditorial – Don’t the taxpayers of our local communities have a right to know what is being proposed with their own money?

Recently at a local council meeting, one of our reporters asked for a copy of the draft budget document. Following a three-hour meeting, she wanted to do due diligence and properly report on the flurry of facts, figures and sums flying around the room. She was told by the treasurer that it was not town policy to do that and was backed up in this assertion by the mayor – even though the mayor saw nothing wrong with handing the very same reporter a copy of the draft budget last year.

We are glad another council member stood up for transparency in government by giving his copy to our reporter. He was advised against giving the media a copy of the budget, but the treasurer was somewhat vague about whether a written policy existed about handing out such a document. Well, if it’s not written down, then it’s not town policy and if it is written down, it should be changed.

Many other municipalities not only make these documents available to the media, they post them online for all to see.

This is the people’s money and there is no reason why a document that is discussed in an open meeting should not be available, in some format, to the public. After all, many of these councils conduct public meetings during the budget process for the express purpose of inviting citizens to provide input.

Town council, Carleton Place in this instance, would prefer that only a finalized

version of the document be made public – thereby short-circuiting the opportunity for public input. If a draft proposal wants to invest an obscene amount of money into some fringe project that is clearly a waste of money, is not the time to discuss it early on?

Our reporters and editors at this newsroom make sure that any stories based on such draft documents reflect that it is only a draft – a work in progress, a living document, if you will.

However, the truth will eventually come out.

It’s not a question of if this information will get out, but when. It already has, in a way, through the open discussion that was held about it.

Our papers are not splashy tabloids that thrive on sensation. We are respectable members of the community and live in those towns we cover. We are not big city dailies who only show up when something terrible happens and then leave. Yes, we cover the hard news that the powers that be would rather not see. They would rather not have reporters or the public anywhere near their councils, would rather have all of their meetings in private, and put out glowing press releases about how great they are.

All you have to do is look to our senate in Ottawa to see what happens when you give politicians money, and then do not have any oversight over how the money is spent.

As community newspapers, we cover your cheque presentations, your medal presentations, your awards, your “feel good” stories. But we also cover the news that matters, like what you intend to do, or propose to do, with our hard-earned money. That’s right, our money, not yours.

Great expectations

ecently, it was Girlchild’s birthday, an event that filled me with dread.

I know that sounds awful.

Please let me explain.

While I love both of my children dearly and their birthdays are a chance for me to reflect fondly upon the momentous and joyous occasions of their births, I haven’t really recovered yet – er, I mean, I don’t really enjoy their special days as much as I did when they were little. (Because it’s all about me, you know.)

I blame great expectations for this. No, not the famous Charles Dickens novel – I would use Title Case and italics for that.

I’ll explain by telling you about the kind of kid I was, which can sometimes still be seen in the adult I am today.

Christmas and birthdays were always the same – the lead up was intense. Great expectations. To this day I prefer Christmas Eve over Christmas itself: the anticipation of the kids and of family gatherings. It was the same with birthdays: you’d count down the days, you’d go to bed excited about turning a year older...kinda magical. (I definitely haven’t felt excited about turning a year older for a loooong time.)

Sometimes it’s hard not to build things up in our heads to the point we are expecting the Perfect Magical Day. Guess what? Perfect Magical Days are really hard to come by. Have you noticed?

Maybe, for example, on Christmas Day or birthdays you anticipated a particular gift and… you didn’t get it. Or maybe you got it, but it wasn’t exactly the right thing. Or, one of my favourites, you got it but it was broken, so you couldn’t play with it.

To make things even worse, I was the type of kid who would get a gift and if it wasn’t quite right or it was broken, I would not only be disappointed, but I would feel badly for the person who gave it

to me because they might be disappointed, too.

Yeesh.

Fast forward 30-some years and here I am trying to navigate (within reason) the great expectations of my STEPHANIE GRAY kids. We don’t want to spoil them (we’ll let you know how that turns out), but we want them to enjoy their special days.

Up until age four or five, this was pretty easy.

Little ones take great delight in almost everything, including the box that held the gift. They live in the moment.

Then they learn to talk and go to school and get sucked into kid-geared media and advertising and along come those great expectations. Suddenly special occasions are built up in their minds to be life-altering events that will map the success of the year ahead...or something about planets aligning or some such thing.

And here we are. The kids are older, the expectations are greater and the pressure is on. A birthday comes along and I take a deep breath and hope all the little details required to make it at least an Almost Perfect Magical Day come together. I might also buy a bottle of wine.

So when the much-coveted toy of the moment breaks mere hours after it is unwrapped, as they are wont to do these days (a sad reflection on our times), therefore making it the Worst Birthday Ever, at least we have the wine – er, I mean, at least we are mentally prepared for it.

All of that said we still manage to make out okay (depending on who you ask). One of the highlights of the recent celebration was the birthday meal.

“What would you like for your special birthday supper, Girlchild?” I asked.

“The macaroni and cheese you make,” she replied.

Yes! Sometimes it’s easier than expected to please.

House stalking: in the most noble way Big Blue ANIQUE BAILLON

Blue Devils gearing up for Halloween Community - We have had a relatively calm week this week. We are just trying to work off the turkey, while we gear up for Halloween. Our Halloween events include a pumpkin carving contest, the annual teacher dress-up and the student dress-up. These events will take place on Oct. 28, 29, and 30.

We would like to say a big Blue Devil thank you to the Perth-Upon-Tay Legion for their generous donation to the school that will be spent on new equipment for our fitness centre. We appreciate your support!

Speaking of fitness, the junior boys volleyball team had an intense and exciting day on Wednesday, beating Carleton Place, St. John and Smiths Falls, and losing to Notre Dame by only two points. Excellent work boys!

Our junior girls basketball team defeated our cross town rivals, St. John CHS, 58-29. The win put the junior devils alone in first place with a 6-0 record.

The senior girls basketball team also defeated St. John 31-15. Top scorer was Chelsea Major with 18 points.

Our cross-country team competed on Friday at the Lanark county championships. Tommy Sommerville was the senior boys LCIAA champion and Derek Oliver was third in that same race. Stella MacDonald came fifth in the senior girls race with Tia Stewart and Hilary Ireton close behind. The junior girls won their division with eight runners. Anique Baillon came third and Bree Lennox came sixth. All our midgets did very well. The team was third over all and will all be moving on to EOSSAA on Thursday.

Good luck!

It’s always a great day to be a Blue Devil.

Lifestyle - There’s a theme in this week’s Private I column – house stalking. But in a good way; not in a creepy, ‘who is that in the bushes?’ kind of way.

The Perth chapter’s Canadian Federation of University Women just released the listings for its eighth annual Christmas House Tour, which takes place this December. It’s always exciting to see what locations they’ve mapped out for the tour every year, as it once again gives us an excuse to explore some of the area’s most beautiful homes – and we’re actually invited inside! Some of the homes featured this year are located right in town while others are country homes and farmhouses. From the Waddell House to the White House, each home has a fascinating history and they will be decorated for the holidays.

Since its inception, the CFUW has raised more than $90,000 from this tour and the funds raised go toward local education and literacy initiatives. CFUW

Private “I” CATHY JAMES

member Karen Hickey says part of the tour’s success is directly linked to the support of the community and the local businesses that provide lunch specials, donations, decorating services and special rates.

The eight homes will be open for viewing from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on both Dec. 7 and 8. Tickets go on sale Nov. 1 and you can purchase them at Perth Home Furniture. To learn more about this event, visit the CFUW website at cfuw-perth-district.com.

Pancakes for the United Way If you’re in need of some caloric energy before hitting every home in town (again with the house stalking) this Halloween, then you’ll need to head to the Algonquin College Perth Campus. The college will host its annual United Way Signs for the directionally challenged of Lanark County breakfast fundraiser, If you have a cousin who couldn’t which will take place Oct. 31 from 7:30

to 9 a.m at the D’Dawg Café on campus.

The cost is only $5 and you’ll get a delicious breakfast served by faculty and staff members.

Walks with Tux Tux and I trekked out onto Rideau Ferry Road last week and saw that the new construction just north of the Flea Market (the last house stalking reference, I promise) is nearing completion.

Perth’s Director of Community Services Shellee Evans told me the development is the new Lanark County Support Services Building and it is affiliated with the hospital. It will be a day centre for mentally and physically challenged adults. Meanwhile, across town on Elliott Street, another construction is taking shape. It’s going to be a new private medical clinic and it’s expected to completed by the New Year.

Do you have a Private I story idea for me? Please send me a note at cathyjames@live.ca

Community - A Thanksgivingthemed “Turkey Bowl” football game took place on Thanksgiving weekend.

St. John’s junior and senior football teams participated in the event and won their games against Notre Dame.

The seniors won 32-3, while the juniors managed to win 21-0.

Congratulations on two great games played well by two great teams!

Both the volleyball and basketball teams are continuing to excel also, and our cross-country running team recently attended the Lanark County Championship meet.

On Oct. 30, the students will have the chance to attend “Night Frights” at Saunders Farm. They will receive a special deal on admission into Saunders farm. It will surely be a great way to greet Halloween night, which will be coming up the next day!

find his left foot, then he’ll be relieved to see the new roadside signs posted throughout Lanark County, warning him of the upcoming road’s name when he comes to visit you for the holidays.

Last month, Lanark County posted these signs in the Perth area to help drivers navigate easily while out on the roads, and it’s also an effort to de-clutter the roadside signage as the road tabs are attached below the yellow diamond intersection warning signs. The project first launched in Perth and the second phase focused on the county’s northern region.

Perth Medal recognizes Eva Gentle, 20-year community volunteer ljweir@metroland.com

News – Eva Gentle’s list of community involvement was so long that John Gemmell brought a chair to the lectern so she could have a seat.

Gentle was presented with this year’s Perth Medal during the Perth and District Chamber of Commerce awards gala Oct. 17 in front of a full house of guests at Code’s Mill.

“Oh stop already,” Gentle chided the Perth deputy mayor, as he spoke of the woman’s accomplishments.

es from practically nothing.”

Although she is now a senior herself, that doesn’t slow her down any. She lives an active lifestyle.

“A friend once asked her why, and her reply was, ‘some older people don’t have family nearby and need help.’”

Gentle has a large family, and many grandchildren who are located around

the globe (Vancouver, Holland, etc.) and they couldn’t be here for the Perth Medal presentation.

However, three of her close friends joined her that night to help mark this special occasion: Jim Dickson, Pearl Flannagan and Lyn McComb.

“Eva Gentle represents a lot of people in Perth who choose not always to

join a club or organization, but rather to spend time with people one-on-one, contributing to their personal needs and well-being,” Gemmell said.

“This type of volunteerism is not well publicized, but is absolutely necessary to create a community, particularly for our seniors, that feels connected and cared for. Thank you Eva, for all that

“Eva has been described as an unwavering volunteer.”

DEPUTY MAYOR JOHN GEMMELL

“I’m still going,” Gemmell said with a laugh, and pulled out the chair, offering it to Gentle to be seated. She did.

The Perth Medal is a “Mayor’s Award,” which is presented annually to a person showing significant distinction in a number of endeavours to benefit the Perth community as a whole, with no monetary gain expected for themselves.

The medals were originally purchased through the Perth Rotary Club, and each year, nominations are accepted from the public.

Gemmell spoke of Gentle’s community involvement.

“Eva has been described as an ‘unwavering’ volunteer, who has been involved with many, many causes in Perth. (She) has volunteered her time at Lanark Lodge for the past 20 years. She has been known to pick people up at the Lodge and drive them to the Legion on music day; she makes a point of dancing with each person before returning them back to the Lodge,” he said.

At Lanark Lodge, Gentle also assists residents to and from activities, helps with birthday parties, and assists residents in going to appointments. She helps organize special events at the Lodge and participates in the Walk for Memories.

“Eva makes regular visits to the Perth hospital, to spend time with elderly patients who have no family in the area.

(She) has been involved with the Perth Polar Bear Plunge since its early days, and made several jumps during that time. Although she went into retirement from jumping for a few years, she resurfaced around 2006 when the recipient was the Perth Legion’s Hall of Remembrance Museum. That year, she was the top fundraiser, and has consistently been the top fundraiser since then. In 2013 she collected a record of over $3,000 for the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 244,” Gemmell said.

Gentle also participates in the Terry Fox Run, and supports the Canadian Cancer Society with her fundraising.

She collects money for many causes, including the The Table Community Food Centre.

“Two hobbies that Eva excels at are cooking and sewing, both of which she has used to help people in the community,” Gemmell said.

“She has been known to take her homemade cooking to those in need, and help out with sewing on occasion.

Eva grew up in Holland during the war, and has learned to make wonderful dishTHE EMC - P10 - Thursday, October 24, 2013

you do.”

Gentle, a soft-spoken woman of few words, smiled after accepting the medal.

“I’m very honoured,” she said. “And thank you Pearl for nominating me.

There are a lot of other people who do what I do, but I receive this medal gracefully.”

MATURA Louis Louis Matura, 81, of 16 Clark Ave, Waddington, NY, passed away 14 October 2013 from complications of a recurring cancer.

Born in Schenectady, NY, on 17 June 1932, Lou was the second child and first son of the late Louis J. and E. Alice (née Zak) Matura. After graduating from Scotia High School, Lou attended Wagner College on Staten Island, NY, followed by attending SUNY Cobleskill.

Lou also lectured at the nearby University of Guelph Kemptville campus on agricultural science. His remaining work years, Lou sold real estate and acquired business for a Canadian transportation company. He retired at 75.

He would do anything he could for you and you could always count on a card or call on your birthday or anniversary or for no reason at all. A born athlete, Lou was an avid outdoorsman, participating in many sports, most especially, fishing with family and friends. He delighted in watching his Rangers, Mets, and Giants win. While living in Canada, Lou coached a girls’ hockey team in Kemptville, ON, and served as President of the Kemptville and District Minor Hockey Association. Survivors include his high-school sweetheart and wife, Priscilla (Peggy) Strang Clute; five children from his previous marriage: Louis (Kelly), Gary (Margaret), twins Lauren and Brian, and Kenneth (Laura); and four grandchildren: Christopher, Dieken, Jack, and Nolan.

EVOY Marilyn (Dolly) (née Miller)

Joe Drummond July 4, 1982 - October 29, 2012 Beloved husband, daddy and best friend.

A year has come and gone since we last saw your amazing smile.

A smile that was cherished by so many; one that no one will forget.

Not a day goes by that we don’t think of you.

Riley has grown up so fast over the past year and Colton still asks everyday “when is daddy coming home?”

Each day is a new day as we journey through life without you.

Looking back to this time last year there was a headline in the newspaper that read “EVERYONE’S FRIEND”...

The newspaper headline couldn’t have said it any better.

We miss you more each day and wish for just one more day with our best friend, husband and daddy.

We will love you forever and will cherish the memories we shared with you.

Ceili (Joynt), Riley and Colton Drummond xo xo xo xo PS - we love you more!!!!

SCOTT, Terry – My dearest Terry, in remembrance one year after your passing October 21, 2012.

No-one knows how I miss you. What I wouldn’t give for one more touch, word or laugh. You suffered so strongly and silently and we were not able to say goodbye. I never could have said goodbye I loved you so much. As I go through my life without you we are not really apart, as I hold our memories together forever and always in my heart.

Shell ***** In loving memory of our Dad and Gramps. We love and miss you every day, and even though you are gone, we keep you in our hearts...

Your family who misses you terribly, Sheri (Jake), Cory(Yoko), Jacobo, Alejandro and Enna May the road rise up to meet you May the wind be always at your back May the sun shine warm upon your face And the rain fall soft upon your fields And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand. ***** Loving brother always remembered and forever in our thoughts , Dave (Doreen), Kim (Don) and Karen (Ross) and nieces and nephews

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 and Tyson

WRIGHT, Lloyd Wilson In memory of a loving husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather, Lloyd Wright who passed away October 29, 2011.

God looked around His garden And He found an empty place, He then looked down upon this earth And saw your tired face.

He put His arms around you And lifted you to rest, God’s garden must be beautiful He always takes the best.

He knew that you were in suffering, He knew you were in pain, He knew that you would never Get well on earth again.

He saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb, So He closed your weary eyelids And whispered, “Peace be thine.”

It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you The day God called you Home.

Always loved and sadly missed

by Laurena and Family

DOUGLAS, Inez (nee Duffy) – In loving memory of a sister October 22, 2008.

You loved me completely, holding nothing back.

You did not wish to change me, yet changed me forever.

You saw the good and true in me, and forgave all else.

As best friends and soulmates, we briefly travelled life’s path together.

You gave me beautiful yesterdays and wanted to give me the best tomorrows.

You were an unexpected gift from God and I am forever thankful.

My love is yours – always and forever.

In my arms I held you tight, Through the hardest part of life.

In my heart the memories clear, Of the greatest Mom I love so dear.

OLMSTEAD, Marie – In loving memory of a dear mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who passed away October 22, 2011.

You can shed tears that she is gone, Or you can smile because she lived, You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back, Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left.

Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her, Or you can be full of the love that you shared, You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember her and only that she is gone, Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on, You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back, Or you can do what she would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

There were no funeral arrangements as of Monday, since Shannon’s body has not been returned home.

“I just want to get her home so we can band together as a family and try to move forward,” said Murray.

Ironically, his daughter was not the only person close to Murray who died while on vacation in Mexico. About 20 years ago, his brother Jim drowned while on vacation there.

Murray has already been soliciting happy anecdotes of his daughter online, from her days doing drama, even impersonating Ed Sullivan, at Caldwell Street Public School. She later attended Carleton Place High School. He said he is enjoying hearing “a lot of stories, lots of good times, special memories.

She touched a lot of people, that is for sure.”

She was married on Aug. 2 to Paul, with whom she had two children. The couple arrived in Mexico on Tuesday, Oct. 15.

News – The father of a Carleton Place woman who was killed in a balcony collapse in Mexico last week will be hosting a fundraiser for her two children.

When Ted Murray, a former Perth resident, who now lives in Smiths Falls, went to bed on Sunday, Oct. 20, there were already 360 people on Facebook who had said that they wanted to attend the event – and “Farrell Hall only holds 330,” said Murray during an interview the next morning.

The fundraiser and silent auction will be held on Friday, Nov. 22, from 7 p.m. until 1 a.m. at Farrell Hall, 186 Gore St. E., Perth, for the benefit of Kaydence and Harmony Guy, who lost their mother Shannon Amy Guy on Oct. 16, during her honeymoon in Mexico, when her third-storey balcony collapsed at her hotel.

Tickets are $10 and are available by calling 613-326-0877, 613-200-9493, or 613-264-7336.

Murray is well known in the community for his DJ work, but he will not be behind the microphone on Nov. 22. “I had offered but, I think, I’d rather be a part of it,” said Murray. DJ Glenn Miller of Arnprior has stepped up to donate his services for the evening instead.

It was while he was wrapping up his regular show at Fiddleheads Bar and Grill in Perth that Murray heard the horrible news that his daughter had died after a balcony gave way at a resort in Mexico, killing her and injuring her husband, Paul Guy, and another couple. “(I felt) shock, disbelief, of course,” said Murray. He drove with other family members to Ottawa to tell his other daughter the tragic news before she heard about it in the media. He later picked up his son from Peterborough and “we’re all together now. They’re taking it so hard. We are all having our

PERTH-UPON-TAY BRANCH 244 THE ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION Branch 244 of the Royal Canadian Legion is currently organizing the annual Poppy and Remembrance Campaign which is scheduled to start on Friday, October 25th, 2013. For the convenience of the residents of Perth and the neighbouring community, and with the kind co-operation of the local merchants and store owners, Poppy counter top boxes will be placed in the establishments throughout the town. Additionally, representatives of local Legion Branch 244 will be posted, from time to time, in various locations in and/or outside of some town stores for easy access by the citizens to this most valuable means of fundraising for the Poppy Fund. Legion Volunteers will be identiďŹ ed by means of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;volunteer ribbonâ&#x20AC;? afďŹ xed to the coat lapel. It must be remembered that such volunteers are not selling the poppies, but merely distributing them, and if people are so inclined to make a donation, then their generosity will be much appreciated.

These funds are used in the support of our Veterans and dependents, and the provision of bursaries to qualiďŹ ed students who go on to higher education facilities after graduating from High School.

This point was demonstrated by these words: “perpetuate the memory and deeds of the fallen and of those who die in the future” and “promote and care for memorials to their valour and sacrifice, to provide a suitable burial if required, to keep an annual memorial day, to preserve the records and members of their service, and to see that such services shall not be forgotten by the nation”.

It is a certainty that the tradition of Remembrance is of importance to Canada, and, annually, two important events occur- collectively those who paid the supreme sacrifice are honoured; and individually we have the opportunity to reflect on the futility of war and hope that there is a will to prevent future conflicts. It is essential that this tradition continue, and this task can only be accomplished if everyone, especially children, have an appreciation for the need for Remembrance Day. It is the responsibility of the adults of today, and the adults of tomorrow to ensure our society continues to remember those who fell or were maimed, or those who were left alone to live alone.

Remembrance Day is the 11th day of November. This is the day when we remember those that were killed. The poppy is worn to remind us of the many people who gave up their lives in the fields where those poppies grow, and the poppy has become a badge of honour. When a poppy is worn, it is one way to make certain that those brave Canadians who were killed are not forgotten. On Remembrance Day when everyone wears a poppy and stands in silence, it is like saying “Thank You” to those who died for us.

It is up to Legion members to ensure that the Tradition of Remembrance is known as a theme, which is used to invite people to think about and accept their responsibilities both as individuals and as members of society.

The significance of Remembrance today acknowledges our collective debt to those who served Canada in time of need, but, at the same time looks ahead to the future. Freedom is the foundation upon which the tradition is built. The poppy can be regarded as the ‘flower of peace’ to serve as a reminder that our future depends on a peaceful world. The purpose of the poppy is not enough to simply remember those who paid the supreme sacrifice. The Tradition of Remembrance is a combination of respect and honour for those who served, a concern for the present, and optimism for a world at peace.

The Poppy Campaign is the most important program of the Legion, and is the only coordinated national appeal made for funds. It is the only activity where members are expected to undertake a commitment to participate.

For the year 2013, the Poppy Campaign officially commences on Friday October 25. The first poppy is presented to the Veterans at the Perley Home in Ottawa (although the Governor General normally receives the Legion Dominion Command poppy several days earlier). In Perth, it is proposed to distribute Poppy Boxes to the various stores and local establishments on October 26th, as a means of offering the public the opportunity to receive a poppy and donate to this worthy cause. Additionally, in order to provide a further opportunity to the public to participate in the Poppy Campaign, members of branch 244, together with youth organizations, will be at selected sites throughout the town during a two-week period which ends with the Remembrance Day parade on November 11th. The Funds accumulated are considered public funds, which are intended to provide financial assistance to needy Canadian ex-service and merchant navy personnel and their dependents. In addition, Branch 244 awards bursaries, for education beyond high school, to children and great-grandchildren of qualified exservice personnel, and for the promotion of youth education with respect to poems, essays and posters.

Our motivation is simple - John McCrae’s famous words: “To you from failing hands we throw the torch; be yours to hold high. If ye break faith with us who die, we shall not sleep, though poppies grow in Flanders fields”.

“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.”

News - The pornography industry has accomplished what it has set out to do: what was once perceived as shocking, taboo-breaking, illegal, repulsive, or immoral, in time has come to be seen as acceptable, normal and increasingly accessible.

The BE AWARE PORN HARMS/ White Ribbon Against Pornography campaign is a concerted effort to bring awareness about the harmful effects of pornography. This year the focus is on spreading the word about the danger pornography poses to children and youth, and providing resources to keep them safe from harm on the Internet.

Formerly spearheaded by The Catholic Women’s League of St. John the Baptist Parish, a new Inter-Church Committee has brought members from the various churches in Perth together to bring awareness to this hot topic in our community.

Many children and youth are exposed to pornography even if they are not looking for it. Part of the problem is the fact that a lot of parents don’t think their kids would be into it, but the truth of the matter is that pornography is increasingly accessible online even if you are not looking for it.

Exposure to the topic of sexuality should be primarily the responsibility of the family. Learning about sex through pornography causes harm to

St. John Elementary School earns double district soccer gold and Katie Copp.

By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

Sports – The junior boys and girls soccer teams from St. John Elementary School were good as gold recently at the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario’s Lanark County championships at the Beckwith Recreation Complex.

Coached by Melanie O’Neil and Carey Brackenbury, the junior girls had three wins and tied their fourth to advance to the semi-finals.

With a big win against Calvary Christian Academy, they advanced to the finals where they defeated St. Francis de Sales of Smiths Falls in a 6-0 blowout.

Goalies Charlie Kettyle and Gracie Greene kept the offence out of the net to earn the championship win.

Scoring for St. John were Maggie O’Neil, Kettyle, Mairead MacKenzie, Katie Copp and Anna Imeson.

Team members include: Anna Imeson, MacKenzie, Maggie O’Neil, Kettyle, Maddie Stranberg, Green, Molly O’Neil, Lily Hagan, Kaleigh Emon

BOYS ACTION Coached by Manon Wright, the boys team went undefeated, winning all their matches, including the gold medal game against St. Mary of Carleton Place.

“Special recognition goes to Matt Leaver, the team’s goalie, who performed like a pro,” said Wright.

Brody Fournier was a scoring machine, leading the troops with an impressive 10 goals.

Jacob Lesser was close behind with nine goals; Aaron DeSousa scored four; Connor Jackson, two, and Patrick Leaver had a single. Brody Tracey was an unstoppable defenceman during tournament play.

“All players demonstrated remarkable sportsmanship and team spirit,” said Wright.

Team members included: Jacob Lesser, Fournier, Tracey, Ty Brady, DeSousa, Patrick Leaver, Matt Leaver, Thomas MacMillan, Liam Graham, Connor Jackson and Owen McGregor.

Sports – After a successful doublewin weekend, the Perth Jr. B Blue Wings have moved up the ladder in the Eastern Ontario Hockey League’s Valley Division standings.

The Blue Wings now sit – but not that comfortably – in second place, behind the Arnprior Packers, after claiming on-the-road wins against Renfrew and Westport over the weekend.

Friday night, the boys were in Renfrew where they earned a 7-5 win. The game started with a four-goal blast after Renfrew drew first blood in the opening minutes of the first.

Zac Rodier, Alex Vala, Riley McEwan and Blair Barr rattled the Renfrew cage with four back-to-back markers to take a 4-1 lead at the break.

The teams traded goals in the second

Imitation is highest form of flattery as Aussies try their own Perth Kilt Run

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Sports – The Australians have answered Perth’s challenge and are trying to lay claim to having their own world’s largest kilt run.

“It’s part of the Highland Games that they have there,” said Mary Stewart last week, thereby making it easier to recruit people for the race since, well, the town will be awash in kilt-wearing lads and lassies anyway. “Perth will be challenged.”

Stewart, co-owner of The Running Goat in Perth, and organizer of our own Perth Kilt Run, “had sent an official letter earlier this year and originally the City of Perth declined,” to host its own run, and challenge the runs in Scotland and here at home.

“They wrote back and said that is unacceptable,” said Stewart. “They said there were too many runs in Perth,” already.

What may have helped matters was that a contingent from the Australian High Commission in Ottawa ran in the Canadian race in June. (It might also help that Australia’s new prime minister, Tony Abbott, is an avid runner.)

The 5km Australian kilt run will be held on the morning of Saturday, Nov.

Perth Kilt Run organizers donate $10,000 to the MS Society recently. The group has challenged the Perth, Australia runners to a kilt run of their own, which was just accepted and will be on tap Saturday, Nov. 16.

Mary Stewart of The Running Goat, says she and her family may be running in the event down under.

16 in the Perth suburb of Armadale, starts at the local arena, in the state of Western Australia, and ends at Memorial Park. The free, family event is being billed as a chance to challenge not only Perth, Canada, but Perth, Australia,

too. The Aussie run’s website states that “in 2012, Perth, Canada and Perth, UK competed for the Guinness World Record title ‘Largest Kilt Run.’ Both competed in 2013, with Perth, Canada winning the title of ‘Largest Kilt Run,’

with 2,100 participants.”

The Canadian number was actually much higher, around the 2,700 mark, though, in fairness, the Scottish run did come close last time.

“Maybe we’ll let them think that and

we won’t tell them,” said Stewart with a laugh. “We’re hoping that they beat it. We love a challenge. We can’t keep getting bigger. It’s all in fun. It keeps the momentum going.”

“Perth has been challenged,” states the website. “Now it is our turn to try!”

Online registrations opened on Thursday, Oct. 10, but Stewart only got word of the new race on Wednesday, Oct. 16.

“I want to go,” said Stewart excitedly.

“We are seriously considering going. It is short notice (though). My daughter jumped at the chance to go this morning.

Maybe there will be three of us” going, with her husband rounding out the Perth contingent.

As she scrolled through the Australian website, she noticed that the down under Perthites had used many of the Canadian run’s pictures.

If she does go to Australia with her family, she will take much of the Perth paraphernalia she did to Scotland. She even has business cards made up to invite our southern hemisphere cousins to participate in the town’s 200th anniversary celebrations.

“We’d like to get a host thing going on for people to stay here, with families here, and vice versa,” said Stewart.

Lanark County Granniesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Kazuri jewelry sale returns

By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Just in time for the holiday shopping season, the Lanark County Grannies will be celebrating in style with the return of their popular ladies night out and Kazur jewelry sale on Saturday, Nov. 15.

To be hosted from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion, Perth Branch 244, the event will feature some of the finest hand-made jewelry featuring a kaleidoscope of Kenyan colours and African art.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all in support of the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign and the Stephen Lewis Foundation, whose mission is to build solidarity, raise awareness and mobilize support in Canada for Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandmothers who have been left to raise their grandchildren after losing their own children to HIV and AIDS. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a couple years since weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a Kazuri jewelry sale,â&#x20AC;? said Diana Bracegirdle, who was one of the five women organizing the bracelets, neck-

laces and earrings last week at her home in Perth.

The creation of this jewelry began in 1975 when Susan Woods set up a business making beads in her backyard in Kenya. She hired to disadvantaged women and soon realized that there were many more women in need of jobs.

Kazuri is a Swahili word meaning small and beautiful.

The Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign has been bringing this jewelry from Kenya to Canada for a number of years to help support the women of Kazuri and the work of the Stephen Lewis Foundation.

Since 2006, some 240 groups of Canadian grandmothers have taken up the call to action.

To date, the campaign has raised more than $13.5 million for African grandmothers and the children in their care.

Locally, the Lanark County Grannies have also been active to help support the cause.

Started by Sharon Swanson in 2006, many dedicated and accomplished grandmother volunteers (not just women, or grandmothers, but there are men involved, too, and the phrase â&#x20AC;&#x153;grandothersâ&#x20AC;? was created) have come and gone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We still have a strong core group, including our chair, Pat Coughlin who couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be with us today,â&#x20AC;? said Bracegirdle.

The local group has held several jewelry sales, car rallies, a heritage walk and box lunch, a dance which included a partnership with the Canadian Federation of University Women, auctions, information days, and even pasta dinners to feed other grandmother group cyclists who ride through town.

Pat Coughlin is the local groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chair.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been involved with the Grannies since 2009. She said it was 2010 that they held the last jewelry show, which was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;huge success.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We gave it a rest for a couple years,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year we decided to bring

Well sent? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, well sent. We send the money raised to the Stephen Lewis Foundation.â&#x20AC;?

The jewelry is shipped in from Kenya, hand made by more than 300 African women who produce a wide range of these ceramic pieces, including many new designs.

All the proceeds from this event will be donated to help support the African grandmothers.

The SLF has directed these funds to partners â&#x20AC;&#x201C; community-level organizations in 15 sub-Saharan African countries that provide grandmothers with much needed support, like nutritious food, housing and bedding, school funds and supplies for their grandchildren, grief counseling, support groups and HIV awareness training.

Students heading to Guatemala

By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

News – As you mature, you understand the importance of having two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

Over the 2014 March Break, 10 students from St. John Catholic High School (SJCHS) will participate in a humanitarian mission to Guatemala.

Two teachers will join them. The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) organizes the trip annually. SJCHS’s Paige Brackenbury (Grade 12), Melissa Brady (Grade 11), Kathleen Cahill-Carroll (Grade 11), Jessica Hogan (Grade 12), Jerrad Kyle (Grade 11), Teirra Lee (Grade 11), Teagan Retty (Grade 11), Kelly Schilling (Grade 11), Caley Schnurr (Grade 12) and Peter Stranberg (Grade 12), as well as Linda McLaren (senior math teacher) and Rose-Anne Desmarais (intermediate French teacher) will be in Guatemala from March 10 to March 18.Twenty-five students applied for the excursion.

“We found out who was going in September,” said Schnurr. “I was so excited.”

“The selection process was totally anonymous,” said Kyle. “The five teachers (selection committee) only saw our applications, not our names.”

SJCHS students will be at the Nuestros Pequenos Hermanos Orphanage in San Andres. While there they will be working in the gardens and kitchen, teaching English, helping with construction projects, working with special needs children and playing and having fun with the youngsters.

“It is going to be quite an experience,” said Brackenbury.

Cahill-Carroll agreed.

The cost of the trip is around $2,200 per person, which works out to $26,400 for 12 people.

On Saturday (Oct. 19), hundreds of community members came out to the Crystal Palace for a yard sale to help raise funds for the humanitarian mission.

Sammy Sullivan, the younger brother of St. John Catholic High School student Kelly Schilling, does his part to help his sister fundraise for her trip to Guatemala in March 2014.

Catholic Elementary School (and Peter’s mother), organized the event.

“The community has been very generous,” said her son. “We can’t thank them enough. It’s a huge success! Any items left over will be donated to four thrift stores. The Salvation Army Thrift Store in Perth, the Salvation Army Thrift Store in Smiths Falls, the Real Deal in Smiths Falls and the thrift store on Wilson Street in Perth.”

In addition to the yard sale, a gala will take place Feb. 8 at the Civitan Club of Perth.

To prepare for the trip, the 10 students have been meeting weekly, taking Spanish lessons and more.
