One of the empty lots along Highway 7 will not be housing a tourism information booth any time soon. Shannon Baillon, the Town of Perth’s director of community services, told council’s committee of the whole on Tuesday, Oct. 6 that, because of “cost and other factors,” that efforts should instead be “put into social media and electronic boosts to tourism, rather than through a physical tourist information booth on Highway 7,” according to her report to council. Baillon had approached the owners of the private lot across the road from the Independent supermarket about the possibility of putting a booth on the land, but “they were not interested in doing this with the town at this point,” she said, though they surmised that they may be open to something next year. The location used to be a car dealership. “The biggest numbers were in the staffing,” said Baillon. “We may be able to get a grant,” to cover that cost, but she was not sure such funding could be procured. She estimated that a student staffing the booth, for 15 weeks at eight hours a day would cost $10,868, by far the largest portion of the $16,112 total. Other costs include constructing the building ($2,000), about $1,200 for a generator, and $1,145 for portable washroom facilities. All of this would necessitate an “increase in the current tourism budget by 50 per cent and it is staff’s opinion that the benefit to the town would not warrant that additional investment.” The report went on to state that the building would have to be temporary, and be at least 100 square feet. Baillon also referred to several other studies that found that for tourist kiosks to be effective, they would need to be located “in the heart of the shopping district for them to be effective,”

What’s the difference between a graveyard and cemetery? The answer was just one of the fascinating tidbits offered up at the third annual Haunted Heritage, which was hosted by the Carleton Place & Beckwith Heritage Museum on Oct. 15. “A graveyard is around a church and a cemetery is on the edge of town,” Steven Robert Morrison said. Morrison, a tarot, palmistry and face reader from Ottawa, was one of the evening’s speakers. Joining him was local storyteller resident Linda Seccaspina, museum curator Jennifer Irwin and funeral director Emma Drummond. Talking about mourning rituals of the past, “mourning means to display the conventional signs of grief,” Irwin said, “and samples of mourning include wearing symbolic colours, draping of buildings and flying flags at half-staff.” In the home where a death took place, certain things would traditionally be done. For example, curtains would be drawn and clocks would be stopped at the time of death. “Mirrors were covered with crape or veiling to prevent the deceased’s spirit from getting trapped in the looking glass,” Irwin said, “and a wreath of boxwood tied with black ribbons was hung on the front door to alert passersby that a death had occurred.” She noted the body was watched over every minute until burial, “hence the custom of waking.” The wake also served as a safeguard from burying someone who was not dead. Most wakes also lasted 3-4 days to allow relatives to arrive from far away. “We used candles and flowers for atmosphere but also to take away the smell of a dead body,” Irwin said. In the 19th century Europe and America the dead were carried out of the house feet first, in order to prevent the spirit from looking back into the house and bring people with him or her. Too, family photographs were also sometimes turned facedown to prevent any of the close relatives and friends of the deceased from being possessed by the spirit of the dead.

The third annual Haunted Heritage, hosted by the Carleton Place & Beckwith Heritage Museum, was held on Oct. 15. In addition to attending a mock funeral, guests heard about death, burial and mourning rituals of the past. Getting into the ‘spirit’, from left: speakers Linda Seccaspina and Steven Robert Morrison, Carleton Place Coun. Sean Redmond, the municipal representative on the town’s heritage committee, and museum curator Jennifer Irwin. Mourning clothes were a family’s outward display of their inner feelings, and the rules for who wore what and for how long were complicated. “The traditional mourning time for women was four years, and if you didn’t do that you were considered disrespectful,” Irwin said. “The deepest mourning phase lasted one year and a day,” she continued, which was followed by phases of half mourning to slight mourning. For deepest mourning, clothes were to be black, symbolic of spiritual darkness. “No hats or jewelry were allowed, but veiled bonnets were acceptable,” Irwin said. Little touches of grey and white were added during the half mourning phase, and women could start to wear jewelry. Pearls, for example. “Lavender was introduced during slight mourning,” Irwin said. Drummond, 21, is from Carleton
Place, and she is the eldest grandchild of locals Wayne and Lorna Drummond. Working towards her class one funeral director license, she is currently with Cole Funeral Services. “Some people think it’s crazy, but it is the most rewarding and gratifying thing I could have ever chosen to do.” Why did she get into the profession? “All of my role models in my family have all chosen to make helping people their main career choice,” Drummond said. “We have firefighters, police officers, paramedics, dental assistants and nurses.” “Of course, grandma was an X-ray technician,” she added. Although the funeral director profession has changed a lot over time, one thing has remained the same. “Our job is to make sure we give you the most dignified experience that we can for the person you need to say goodbye to,” Drummond said, “and it’s not always easy, but it’s worth it.” Seccaspina told a few stories, including the tale of young Margaret Violet King. In July 1937 the six-year-old nearly drowned in the Mississippi River

down by the hydro plant. Two men, Lionel and Wilfred Bigras, saved her. In a sad twist, a decade later, in August 1937, the river took the life of the poor swimmer. Morrison spoke on a few issues, including the many symbols found on gravestones: flowers, objects, body parts, lettering, etc. The hourglass on its side, for example, indicates that time has stopped for the deceased; the broken flower or tree, that life has been cut short. “An arch symbolizes a triumphant entry into heaven or victory over death,” Morrison said, “and a lamb is a symbol of innocence, used primarily on an infant’s or a child’s gravestone.” “As they were professionals, a doctor, banker, dentist, lawyer, etc. would have either a skeleton or skull on their gravestones,” he added. The weeping willow signified an early death, and the letters “DSP” indicated the deceased had no children. Other Haunted Heritage festivities included a mock funeral, music and scary cupcakes. Admission was $10 per person and all proceeds will benefit the museum.

New policy for community grants endorsed by Lanark County council akulp@perfprint.ca
Lanark County has taken steps to ensure all groups and organizations are on an even playing field with its new community grants policy. Council formally endorsed the new document at its Oct. 21 meeting, after lengthy discussions on it at three previous meetings, most recently, the Oct. 7 corporate services committee session. “The idea of the policy would be that no one is grandfathered. We’re starting fresh and no one is guaranteed,” Lanark County CAO Kurt Greaves noted in his Oct. 7 presentation to the committee. The program is designed to and cannot be used for capital requirements or funding for buildings (purchase, renovation or construction). Its definition, Greaves stated, is “taxpayerlevied funds given to third party organizations that do not have a signed contract for service with Lanark County.” “...Local projects that have a direct impact on the people of our community or an indirect impact by increasing the capacity of organizations to initiate and sustain projects,” he continued. Community grants allocations will remain status quo for 2016 with the new program to be included in the 2017 budget. The cut off date for applications for 2017 will be Sept. 15, 2016. “This gives everybody lots of notice that we’re going to a new program and they’ll have the opportunity to send in their applica-
tions,” Greaves said. Coun. John Gemmell (acting Perth mayor) wanted to see the policy implemented sooner. “We need a policy. Every year at budget time we contradict ourselves and do the same thing the following year,” he said. “We need something. We can’t be everything to everybody...it may be harsh to some people, but it’s true.” Coun. Shaun McLaughlin agreed, noting that organizations such as the Lanark Transportation Association and the Lanark Archives shouldn’t have to apply through the community grants process. “Our (Lanark County) archives, our transportation system, these are things that should get money...some of these things are integral to our community and our business should be funded on a regular basis,” he stated. “...What happens to those organizations when we stop giving money? Some organizations will go somewhere else because they have a number of different pots of money but we have to format this policy to the must haves, not the wants.” Another issue surrounded ongoing funding the county provides to its five youth centres, which amounts to $200,000 a year. Some councillors felt these funds shouldn’t come out of the community grants coffers, but become a dedicated line item in the budget. “This (policy) protects those that don’t have funding from other places and have a huge impact on youth in our community,” stressed Coun. Jane Torrance (Mississippi Mills councillor).
“If the youth centres’ funding grant is taken out (of community grants), then I do not support this policy.” “I support this (including youth centres) fully,” added Coun. Jerry Flynn (Carleton Place deputy mayor). “I suggest that money stay right where it is. That is money well spent.” Some councillors suggested the youth centres funding be included in the social services budget, which prompted Coun. Sharon Mousseau (Beckwith deputy reeve) to disagree. “I agree with the comments about the youth centres. I support the funding, for sure, but my issue is it being in the social services budget. It’s one of transparency for me,” she said. “It is a community grant and I’m proud to say that we do offer that (funding)...it should be in with all the other community programs we support.” “It’s grant money,” continued Coun. Aubrey Churchill (Drummond/North Elmsley reeve). “It’s not to be hidden in some other area and that’s what it looks like we were doing (before). We were hiding it, there’s no doubt about it. I totally support this program and the (youth centres) funds should be come out of community grants.” Greaves confirmed that the youth centres funding is only for the current year but “under a new policy, council can approve these (funds) for a term of council.” Two terms of funding will be available through the program: short term projects or grants that would span the full term of council.

Canada Post is temporarily suspending future deployment of the program to convert door-todoor mail delivery to community mailboxes. We will work collaboratively with the Government of Canada to determine the best path forward given the ongoing challenges faced by the Canadian postal system. Efforts are now underway to place the comprehensive program on hold in an orderly
fashion. This involves roughly 460,000 addresses across the country which are currently in the process to be converted to community mailboxes. As a result, all conversions planned for November and December 2015 and those announced for 2016 will be placed on hold. Customers impacted by this decision will receive a letter within the next few weeks advising them of the status of their
mail delivery service. In neighbourhoods where the 10-month internal and community conversion process is complete, customers will collect mail and parcels at their community mailbox. This includes customers set to begin receiving their mail and parcels in their boxes in October. We remain focused on maintaining reliable postal service to all Canadians without disruption.

She says when we make a connection with our child, it decreases stress, which allows the child to think, problem solve and this reduces power struggles.

The tradition continues with the tenth annual Heritage Perth Christmas House Tour on Dec. 5 and 6, presented by the women of CFUW Perth and District. Once again we open the doors to some of the town’s most unique homes between 10:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. each day. The eight featured homes will provide you with a wealth of ideas for decorating your home and planning renovations. All of the homes pay tribute to the history of our area and were built in 19th or very early 20th centuries. Local decorators and florists have helped the homeowners dress the houses beautifully for the holidays.
On Oct. 7, Dr. Sian Phillips presented two seminars one for parents and one for professionals. Both sessions, Engaging with Children: How to Parent with Purpose and Engaging Children and Families to Help Build Positive Relationships were both well received by the audiences. They thought she was an “Amazing presenter …with very informative and down to earth…information.” The Connections program (part of Lanark Renfrew Health and Community Services) and Children’s Resources on Wheels (CROW) hosted the two events at the Gallipeau Centre in Smiths Falls as part of a grant received by the Lanark County Best Start Network. Dr. Phillips’ message was that “mental health is a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully and is able to make a contribution to his or her community.” Dr. Phillips states that
Siblings spend retirement together at Van Horne Manor Many of us believe it’s important to maintain close ties with family throughout our lives, and one group of siblings has really taken that sentiment to heart. Five of the original nine Van Dusen siblings are alive and well, and they all living together at Chartwell Van Horne Retirement Residence in Smiths Falls. Their close bonds with one another are evident, as they all chose to spend their retirement years with one another.

A family connection Siblings Ivors, Ormand, Claude, Bud and Norva grew up in Smiths Falls and were always close. A lively, cheerful bunch, the siblings all share a love of music. Norva, who joined the Chartwell family in April of this year, was a former member of her church’s choir and was an avid pianist throughout her life. Ormand also enjoys dancing and is known to encourage others to join him on the dance floor at all of the residence’s musical events. “He is not shy to get the ladies on their feet dancing,” says Natasha Paquette, general manager at Chartwell Van Horne. “Ormand always has a smile on his face and shows his kind heart to fellow residents.” In addition to this shared love of music, the siblings are often found sitting together after meals, catching up on old times. Norva expressed how grateful she is to still be so close to her brothers during their retirement years.

There is no limit to what people want painted on their stones, and the artist in Radmore has always been able to come up with every request. As well as painting on stones, Radmore’s talent extends to creating exquisite silk scarves. How she does it is as interesting as her stone creations. She ‘cooks’ them in a pressure cooker.

Elizabeth Radmore leaves no stone unturned when it comes to her love of unusual and interesting rocks. After a recent trip to Ireland, Radmore’s suitcases were loaded with stones she gathered along the Antrim Coast. This weighty cargo will eventually be replicas of English Cottages with thatched roofs, commissioned works from those who want their own cottage, house, or pet perpetually remembered. Radmore, among her other talents as an artist loves stones. She gathers them from wherever she happens to be, as long as it’s along the coast of a body of water. She has collected from the Madawaska River, and the shores of Calabogie Lake, finding shapes and sizes ranging from oval to flat, and from a few inches to one in her own yard which measures about 10 by eight inches. The continuous washing of the stones from the waters along coastlines, leaves a smooth surface, which is ideal for the painting Radmore does. She first uses modeling

Saluting future leaders
t is time once again to celebrate the achievements of some the younger members of our community. Nominations are now being accepted for the 2015 Ontario Junior Citizen Award. The Ontario Community Newspapers Association and its members (including The Record News, The Kemptville Advance, The Perth Courier and The Carleton Place Almonte Canadian Gazette) have been presenting the awards since 1981. The program is a way of recognizing exceptional children and younger teens who make a difference. Up to 12 individuals will be selected as Ontario Junior Citizen Award recipients for 2015. Any resident of Ontario who is at least six years old as of Nov. 30 but no older than 17 by that date is eligible. There are five nomination categories: community service, contributing while living with a disability, performing a heroic act in the past year, excellence in personal achievements and “good kids” going above and beyond to make the lives of others better.
These individuals might volunteer for numerous organizations or seek support for causes with which they or someone they know are involved. Nominating these children and youths and sharing their stories might inspire other young people to follow suit and remind adults of the positive efforts made by the future leaders of the community. In addition to completing the main form (which includes the consent of a parent or guardian), there are also supporting nomination forms to be completed by at least two individuals other than the primary nominator. Copies of the forms will be available at our office at 65 Lorne St., Smiths Falls. They can also be obtained by visiting www.ocna.org/juniorcitizen or emailing jr.citizen@ocna.org. The deadline to submit is Nov. 30. Each nominee will be presented with a certificate of recognition, and we will showcase his or her achievements in our publication. The final recipients will be honoured at a special ceremony at Queen’s Park.
Mother knew long winter months ahead would mean being shut in It was happening again. In my mind’s eye I could see back to the year before. It seemed to happen when the weather changed from warm sunny days to a snap in the air, and when flakes of ice formed all around the watering trough in the barnyard. I just couldn’t put my finger on it, but I was old enough to know there was a change in Mother, and it happened at the same time of the year. What could it be? What had brought it on? Maybe she was worried that we would have enough food to last us over the coming winter. But that couldn’t be. The cellar was full of preserves and canned vegetables, the smoke house full of meat, and the big barrel of sauerkraut was already out in the summer kitchen beside the smaller barrel of pickled herring. No, it couldn’t be because Mother was worried about our starving to death. But there was no doubt

Only four Liberal MPs elected in riding’s history? Not quite says reader DEAR EDITOR:
In the article “Conservative Reid re-elected but ends up back in opposition,” you quote Lanark-FrontenacKingston MP-elect Scott Reid as noting this riding has only voted Liberal four times in 42 federal general elections. This statement is not totally accurate, but is somewhat closer to the truth than the common myth that Liberals have never been elected, or elected only once.

Father, who wasn’t much for any change to his routine, or for fancying up the house, said nothing. He had been through this before. We sat down at the table with its shiny linen tablecloth, as many matched dishes as Audrey would find, and our usual ample dinner.

According to the parliamentary website, there have been six Liberals elected in Lanark County, three of them in the former riding of Lanark North, starting with my three-times great-grand-uncle, Daniel Galbraith (Feb. 1, 1813-Dec. 17, 1879) who was elected in 1872, 1874 and 1878, dying in office in the middle of his third term. He was succeeded in the Jan. 22, 1880 by-election by another Liberal, Almonte lawyer Donald Greenfield MacDonell (July 2, 1849-Nov. 12,

She stood there, quietly, for the longest time looking out into the black yard. Then she sighed, as if it was coming from her boot tops, and closed the door and just stood there quietly, saying nothing. Then she took down her diaries, and her scrapbooks, sharpened her pencils with a kitchen knife, and began to write.

Lanark North was again represented by a Liberal from 1904 to1908 when Lanark mill owner Thomas Boyd Caldwell (Feb. 22, 1856-March 26, 1932) served during Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s administration. The only Liberal to represent Lanark County as a single riding, unattached to any neighbouring counties, was Smiths Falls fuel dealer Bert H. Soper (March 15, 1884-July 2, 1968)

anyone voted Conservative at all in this election. Fortunately, enough did that the Conservatives are still very much alive versus the near collapse of the Liberal party in 2011. It is this campaign of hate which has been the most unfortunate thing to witness this election. One question comes to mind in response and that is, how was the hate that some people have had for Stephen Harper, any better than the hate people have accused Harper of harbouring and reflecting in his policies? Traditionally we have voted for the best man or woman for the job, the most experienced and capable, not for the person who is most likely to defeat the candidate we don’t
ottawavalleytours.com want to see get elected based on popularity or a last name. In my opinion, Stephen Harper has done a very good job for Canada, despite the challenges he has had to face during the economic downturn and uncertainty we have been moving through. I think in due time, we will come to understand better and perhaps miss Harper’s lacklustre ways, as not a sign that he lacked inspiration, but that he was more interested in focusing on the job at hand without the need for so much fanfare. With regards to the comments made by Liberal candidate Phil Archambault, in his suggestion that Scott Reid’s win was solely attributable to Lanark people voting the way their grandparents did -
Travel Reg.#2967742 & 5000006
when I read this I thought, that is quite an insult to Scott as well as those who voted for him. To suggest that Scott Reid’s win was based solely on a history of demographical choice is making the assumption that people did not take the opportunity to think about their vote and where they chose to place it, in choosing Scott as the best person for the job. I am sure for the first time in a long time, people thought quite a bit about their vote this election. Obviously I don’t agree with the result we have ended up with, but the people have spoken. Time will tell if the choice was the best one for Canada as a whole. BA Campbell Lombardy

Classic Theatre Festival actor receives prestigious award nomination Last week, the Classic Theatre Festival, Perth’s summertime professional theatre company, was informed that one of its performers, Alison Smyth, had received a prestigious Capital Critics Circle Best Actress nomination for her performance as the blind Susy Hendrix in the festival’s 2015 production of the thriller Wait Until Dark, directed by Laurel Smith. The Capital Critics Circle is a collection of some of Canada’s top professional theatre critics, including Iris Winston, Jamie Portman, and Patrick Langston. The Toronto-based Smyth will return to her Ottawa hometown Nov. 21 for the annual awards ceremony at the National Arts Centre. “The National Arts Centre is the theatre I went to see my first professional everything!” enthused Smyth upon hearing the news. “My first musical, opera, symphony, concert recital, play and ballet. It is the theatre that had me transfixed as a child. It will be very exciting to return to the NAC for my first Best Actress nomination.” Smyth says she was elated to hear the news, as she was “very proud to be a part of Wait Until Dark. The entire company was fully invested in always Photo courtesy Jean-Denis Labelle finding and playing the truth. This made The Classic Theatre Festival’s Alison Smyth has won a Best Actress nomit magical.” Wait Until Dark, the story of a blind ination for her performance in the festival’s 2015 staging of the thriller woman who must defend herself after Wait Until Dark.
her apartment has been invaded by criminals, drew five-star reviews all summer from critics and audiences alike, and also marked the professional debut of local aspiring performers Madison Miernik of Perth and Samantha Salter of Smiths Falls, who shared the role of the nine-year-old Gloria. Rounding out the cast were Classic Theatre veteran performers Alastair Love, Greg Campbell, Richard Gélinas, Scott Clarkson, and Sean Jacklin. “It’s a challenging play to produce because so many elements have to come together in an exact fashion to keep the tension building right until the final moment, and we were thrilled to be able to have such a great company to pull it off,” says director Laurel Smith, who notes the introduction of mysteries and thrillers into the festival’s summer mix has been a major success. Behind her onstage poise, Smyth confesses that “the role of Susy brought me some anxiety leading up to rehearsals. Once Susy enters in at the end of the first scene, she never leaves the stage for more then a few seconds. I wanted to know my lines before rehearsals so that the element of memorization would have been dealt with and I could focus on finding a truthful performance. As a performer, Susy made me connect with the other actors without using my eyes. That was a challenge and very interesting. It was such a juicy role. I’m grate-
The latest Hydro One rate hike is a slap in the face to Ontarians and more evidence the Wynne government should abandon its fire sale of the utility and focus on making rates more affordable. Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark made that statement Oct. 16 in the wake of news the Ontario Energy Board has approved electricity rate increases to take effect Nov. 1. The increase means an average customer will pay about $53 more annually for hydro – an 8.7 per cent spike in the on-peak rate. “It’s completely unacceptable that we’re heading into the winter heating season and the Wynne government’s policies are driving rates even higher,”
said Clark, adding the increase will make it even harder for struggling families to make ends meet. “Instead of forging ahead with a disastrous plan to sell-off Hydro One, which will increase rates even more, the Premier should fix her government’s broken energy policies,” explained Clark. “Those policies and her failure to clean up the waste and mismanagement at Hydro One are the reason electricity rates in Ontario have sky-rocketed.” Indeed, today’s announcement is the second increase in this year after the average bill went up by $68 per year in May. And with the government set to cancel the 10 per cent Clean Energy Benefit
in January, Clark noted the New Year will ring in another increase. “More and more families in LeedsGrenville are forced to choose between putting food on the table and paying their rent or paying the hydro bill,” said Clark, who also pointed out the increases are making it harder for businesses to keep their doors open. “The government needs to recognize the damage their energy policies are doing to Ontario. Families and businesses can’t take any more – and if Premier Wynne and her Energy Minister aren’t up to the job, they should admit it today and step aside.” Submitted by the office of LeedsGrenville MPP Steve Clark.

ful that Classic Theatre Festival cast me because it made for fulfilling work as an actress.” The Capital Critics Circle nomination (the second for the festival) is among a number of noteworthy achievements that have helped place Perth on the regional map as a tourism destination for professional entertainment, including nominations for the 2013 Premier’s Awards for Excellence in the Arts, Best New Company (Ottawa Tourism), Vision Awards (Land O Lakes Tourism), and top-tier scores in the OHVation customer service ranking. “But the best recognition we get is from our audiences (80 per cent of them tourists) when they enjoy the show and come back for more, which is not only great for the company, but also good news for Perth’s economy,” says Smith. “Cultural tourists outspend all other tourists by a ratio of almost two to one, and that is good news for our partners in the restaurant and accommodation business, as well as for downtown shops.” The festival is slated to officially announce its 2016 season shortly, with the exciting teaser that the mainstage season will expand to add a third play, pushing the season opening to June 24 and running until Sept. 11, 2016.

Home visiting program in Lanark County going into 23rd year
based on mutual trust and respect. Most visits are once a week or twice a month for about an hour, this is always determined by what the family needs. We can help parents to better understand their children, bringing toys to our visits and showing parents how to increase learning and positive play. We offer current information on relevant topics, model skills, help to problem solve and actively listen and support. Our Home Visitors know about resources in the community and can facilitate referrals. When our budget allows we offer help with practical things such as extra food or diapers. We can accompany a family as well to an important appointment or legal clinic,
or offer support by phone if their child is sick or in hospital. Our Home Visiting program is federally funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada, under the Community Action Program for Children (CAPC). Various community agencies across Canada get this funding to develop and deliver programs to vulnerable families, with the common goal of promoting the healthy development of children ages 0-6. There are approximately 425 CAPC projects serving over 223,000 vulnerable children and parents/caregivers in more than 3,000 communities across Canada each year. Each program is community based, offering various types of programming. At Connections we use this funding to provide home visiting, parent child playgroups, parent education groups, school readiness programs for children going to school next year and special events/daytrips in the summer. Our goal at Connections is to provide support to families during their pregnancies and in the healthy growth and development of their young children. This is a co-operative effort involving the family, agency services and
How to choose nutritional options to donate to food drives this fall Marie Traynor
This is the time of year when many groups, schools and workplaces are contributing to community food drives. We know that people with the biggest financial constraints are often the ones at highest risk for poor nutritional and overall health. If you plan to donate canned or packaged food please consider using the % Daily Value (%DV) found in the Nutrition Facts Table to compare products. In general, products with 5 per cent DV or less for sodium and total fat are a healthy choice. Products with 15 per cent DV or more for fibre, vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium and iron are also healthy choices. Make the healthy choice the easy choice. • For canned vegetables, tomato products and soup choose those with no added salt or the lowest sodium content. • For canned fruit choose those packed in water or fruit juice rather than syrup; choose vegetable juices with lower sodium. • Choose 100 per cent juice instead of fruit beverages, drinks or cocktails. • Choose unsweetened apple sauce.
Nutrition Tips • Choose plain dried fruit such as raisins, apricots, etc. instead of fruit leathers and “fruit” candies. Grain products include pasta, crackers, granola bars, hot and cold cereals, rice • Look for the words “whole grain” as the first item on the ingredients list, for example, whole grain wheat. • If storage facilities are available choose fresh bread products higher in fibre and lower in sodium. • Choose hot and cold cereal made with whole grain, higher in fibre and lower in sugar. • Look for crackers higher in fibre and lower in fat and sodium. • Look for granola bars lower in fat, lower in sugar, higher in fibre. • Choose brown rice and whole wheat pasta. Milk and alternatives include milk, fortified soya beverage, yogurt and cheese • Dry milk powder can be added to foods to increase the calcium, vitamin D and protein, for example, it can be added to casseroles, liquid milk, cream soups and more.
• Choose lower fat (skim, 1% and 2% MF) evaporated milk. MF stands for milk fat. • Some agencies can accept fresh milk, fortified soya beverage, yogurt, and cheese if cold storage facilities are available – choose 2% MF or less for milk and yogurts; for cheese choose 20 per cent MF or less. • Choose puddings made with skim milk as the first ingredient. Meat and alternatives include meat, fish, eggs, peanut butter, nuts, seeds, beans and legumes • Choose the lower sodium canned meat and fish products; choose fish canned in water. • Choose canned baked beans, dried or canned beans and lentils. Look for the lowest sodium content. • Choose dry roasted, no-salt added nuts and seeds. • Look at the ingredient list for peanut butter. Choose those with only peanuts listed. • In addition to peanut butter, consider choosing other nut butters such as almond. • Choose fresh fish, meat, eggs and tofu if cold storage facilities are available.

Incorporation consideration If you’re like most unincorporated small business owners or a professional whose regulatory body allows incorporation (known as a Professional Corporation) you’re likely considering whether or not to incorporate and, if so, when is the best time. While it’s true that incorporation does deliver terrific tax benefits and some creditor protection from your personal assets, there are pros, cons and caveats to incorporation that might affect your decision. Let’s look at them. Cons • Cash Flow If you need all of the profits from your business to support your personal cash flow needs, incorporation may not be for you as the cost of setting up and maintaining the corporation could outweigh any tax benefits. On the other hand, if you are financially able to retain some profits inside the corporation, you could derive significant tax deferral and potential tax savings. • Taxing Questions If you are just starting your business, incorporation should probably wait because losses incurred by an incorporated business can’t flow through to shareholders. In the early stages of your business, you’re likely better off using losses personally against other income. Once your business begins to earn income in excess of your own personal lifestyle needs you may begin to benefit from the ability to defer your tax liability to a future period and benefit from potential tax savings (in most provinces). Caveats • Creditor-proofing Personal Assets Corporate creditors can generally only go after assets owned by the corporation. However, banks and other suppliers often require small business owners to personally guarantee corporate liabilities and corporate directors may be liable for many types of unpaid debts such as outstanding income tax, HST, GST and employee source deductions. Incorporation may provide some creditor protection, but only if properly structured, so speak to an advisor to ensure you are protected.

Manage Your Money Pros • Income-splitting to reduce taxes by making your spouse or adult children shareholders as dividends will benefit from their respective marginal tax rates – or employing them in the business, provided the remuneration is reasonable for their work performed. • Deferring certain expenses. For example, you can deduct employee bonuses for tax purposes before year-end but are only required to actually pay out the bonus after year-end (certain restrictions apply). • Leaving assets in the corporation where they will continue to grow on a tax-deferred basis until you choose to withdraw them. • Creating a registered pension plan and tax-deductible group health and life insurance plan for you and your employees (which could include family members). • Choosing a fiscal year spanning any 12-month period. Select a fiscal year that coincides with business or cash flow peaks or when corporate expenses are higher (potentially reducing your tax bite). • Structuring your corporation to continue after your death for estate planning purposes. There are certainly potential benefits to incorporation but incorporating also comes with costs – from initial setup and legal costs to ongoing requirements for tax returns and corporate resolutions – and other legal requirements. Be sure to talk to your legal, tax and professional advisor before you do. This column, written and published by Investors Group Financial Services Inc.

‘Are we speaking the same language?’ English has many variations I have heard this said on many occasions. “People in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and Canada have many things in common. But language isn’t one of them.” Obviously that’s a facetious statement referring to the fact the English language has lots of words with many different meanings. Words that mean one thing in Canada, for example, mean something entirely different in the UK and Ireland. Then there is local slang. Words which are common in one or more of the countries I am referring to today. In recent months my wife Kathleen and I have experienced this “local language” situation in spades. In August and September we vacationed in the Irish Republic and England. During our time there we met and spoke to travelers from around the world including folks from Australia and New Zealand. Because we speak the same language, after a fashion, it is easy to strike up a conversation. When we speak most of them think we’re Americans of course. But that is easily sorted out. In recent days Kathy and I had friends from Scotland staying with us. On occasion it was a challenge for us to understand what they were saying because of their thick accents. At other times we were left scratching our heads because some words they used or sentences they strung together simply didn’t make sense to us. Certain words and/or slang terms are familiar to people in all English-speaking countries. In Canada, for example, “underwear” is used more than “knickers.” Still, the latter is easily understood by all of us – i.e. “don’t get your knickers in a knot.” When we were in Dublin we were enjoying the atmosphere in a jam-packed local pub one evening when a couple from Australia asked if they could share our table. They were traveling in Ireland and the UK for two months. That’s routine for Aussies. If they’re going to come that distance they usually stay for a while. They were pleasant folks and we had a really good chat, mainly about where we had been, what we had seen and where we were heading next. After a short time the gentleman leaned over and asked me “where’s the dunnie?” It took me a few seconds to recall that “dunnie” is Australian slang for toilet. Later the lady described an enjoyable meal they had in Temple Bar, Dublin the night before. “There was heaps – it was great,” she said. Heaps is easier to decipher. It means “a lot.”
Reflections By Jeff maguire
If someone from Down Under says they “had a spill on their daks” they mean they dropped food on themselves. “Daks” are trousers. When we parted company that night our new friends gave us a jaunty wave and she said, “Hooroo!” Back at the hotel I had to look that word up on Kathy’s iPad. It’s Aussie for “goodbye.” Makes sense, eh! Many variations It’s very easy to trip over certain slang words. For example, if the Australian fellow we met had asked the Irish bartender “where is the dunnie” he would have received only a blank stare in return. In Ireland the slang word for toilets is “jacks.” In England it’s the “loo.” If the Irish are going to watch a movie they substitute “pictures” for movies although that is another word most English speakers can relate to. On the other hand if you’re a Canadian in Dublin and a man tells you he is “off to meet his mot” you will no doubt be baffled. In Dublin slang “mot” means girlfriend. New Zealanders have added their own twists to our common language. If someone says “crook” to me I assume they’re talking about a criminal. To the Kiwis if you are “crook” you are sick, or unwell. And don’t be offended if a New Zealander uses the word “dummy” when talking to you. They are probably looking for their baby’s pacifier. However, when they refer to a child they might say “sprog” which means the same thing. Sounds more like an automobile part to me! On the other hand if you’re in Auckland and you’re called “a wolly” you should be well and truly offended. A “wolly” is a clown, or a loser. In our language there are certain words that are familiar in several English speaking nations. Brits, Aussies and Kiwis all use the following automobile-related words that Canadians don’t. “Bonnet” (hood), “boot” (trunk) or “windscreen” (windshield) is their terminology, not ours. Last Wednesday George Lees and his daughter Amanda, our good friends from Comrie in Perthshire, Scotland flew home after a 10-day stay. We had a
great time together, just as we always do. An ongoing theme for us is poking fun at each other’s language quirks. They love our “Canadian accents” something Kathy and I didn’t know we had until we established friendships with people in the UK. In turn we sometimes struggle to cut through their very pronounced accents. George, who spent 12 years in the British Navy and 30 years in the Scottish Police Force, speaks with a very thick brogue which we find difficult to understand at times. That’s only part of the language “battle” however. The rest relates to Scottish slang words and terminology we aren’t familiar with. There is a lot to choose from when trying to explain it. On their final day here George, Amanda and I were chatting and it suddenly dawned on me there might be a column brewing. Turns out I was right! The previous evening we had enjoyed dinner at the home of mutual friends. As we chatted Amanda said, “I really enjoyed the meal at Frank and Wendy’s last night. It was so homely.” I was gob-smacked (that means “surprised” or “shocked” in the UK). To me “homely” means someone who, to be kind, is lacking when it comes to physical attractiveness. Sensing my bewilderment Amanda clarified her remark noting that to the Scots “homely” means something that is comfortable or enjoyable. Enjoying a pleasant evening meal at home for example. She was complimenting our hosts. If the shoe fits Earlier we were driving through Carleton Place in George’s rented SUV. Suddenly a driver backed out of a driveway right in front of him, forcing George to swing to the left violently in order to avoid a collision. It was a near thing! A chorus of “eejit” (and a couple of words I won’t repeat here) erupted from our Scottish friends. Eejit is only a slight variation on “idiot.” If the shoe fits! Speaking of near misses on the road, if someone in Scotland says “honkin” they don’t mean sounding their horn. To a Scot “honkin” means someone smells. The slang word “minging” also refers to a person in Scotland who hasn’t bothered to change or wash for many days. If someone tells a Canadian there’s “a jumper” we are liable to call 911. In Scotland a jumper is a sweater, something we’re all reaching for these days. At one point we were talking
about construction materials. George said a word that sounded like “al-u-min-ium.” It finally struck me that he meant “aluminum.” Sometimes it’s all in the pronunciation. If someone said to you “the gaffer is a right plonker” what would you make of it? In Scotland it translates as “my boss is an idiot.” That’s something many Canadians can relate to no doubt! You definitely know your Scottish if you know, a “lassie” is a female, a “plaster” is a Band-Aid, a cast is a “stookie”, a “piece” is a sandwich, a “banger” is a sausage or “tatties” are potatoes. On the highway and byways of Scotland you can expect to see
“people movers” (vans), lorries (trucks) and “bendy-coaches” (articulated buses). Just like Canada you will find drivers talking on their “mobiles” (cell phones) when they should be focused on their driving. Watching soccer, my favourite sport, on TV in the UK is also an interesting experience. When a player starts a game in place of someone else the announcer says he is “deputizing” and when an athlete is knocked off their feet and falls on the pitch he is “on the floor.” Yes, the words are familiar but despite the fact they’re all English, many have very different meanings depending on what country you’re visiting. It can definitely be a challenge to un-
derstand what you’re hearing at times. The international “word game” has often prompted me to ask, “Excuse me. But are we speaking the same language?” Words play a major role in my life. Yet occasionally they leave me totally flummoxed (that means “confused”). Still, the biggest challenge when my Comrie friend George is around is attempting to filter the words and sentences from his considerable accent. Once, in total exasperation, I asked, “George, do you come with subtitles?” If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey. maguire@rogers.com.

In partnership with
Mona is coming to Carleton Place Town Hall this December What are we talking about? The People Versus Mona is a new musical murder mystery that is so funny it’s a crime! Set in the fictional towvn of Tippo, Georgia, it is loaded with southern charm, engaging characters and fabulous music. It will be presented cabaret style to appeal to an adult audience and would be a great outing for an office team or a group of friends to start off the holiday season. Preparation for Mona’s arrival started many months ago: March: A small group reads the script aloud. They love the humour, characters and eclectic musical score. They present it to the board for approval for the 2015-2016 Mudds season. This local theatre troupe already has a good reputation for entertaining murder mysteries. The board decides it will be a perfect play to for the 2015 holiday season. April: An experienced production team is assembled: The producer to worry about money and logistics; the directors to provide vision and training on all things artistic; and the bandleader to support and enrich the sound. With the expertise of Tony Scott, Brian McManus, Laurel Tye and Peter Brown the show is in good hands. May: The stage manager, sound and light experts, people to work on the set, props, and costumes, sign up to the production team. Barb Dickson, Mark Tye, Brian Kasper, Jeff Lee, Christy Bindhardt, and Judith Scott all get a one-way

The Mississippi Mudds next production, a musical murder mystery entitled The People Versus Mona, opens Dec. 4 at the Carleton Place Town Hall. Above, some of the key backstage personnel working on the project, have some fun during rehearsal.

Mona gets her cast! June: The call goes out far and wide for actor-singers. Candidates arrive to audition. Mona needs all the usual – and
unusual – “suspects” that make for good entertainment. We need a feisty reporter, bumbling defence lawyer, idealistic bar owner, pushy prosecutor, singing police officer, blind folk singer, southern
preacher, creepy coroner, sketchy motel owner and three sexy back-up singers. At the end of the day the perfect cast is chosen. July and August: All through the hot summer, Mona’s journey continues. The producer negotiates good rehearsal space, makes bookings, talks to the caterer, plans publicity strategy and tweaks the budget. The directors plan the rehearsal schedule. The bandleader recruits musicians to join him on stage. The actors study their scripts and music. September: First rehearsal... oh, the excitement! The actors get together for the first time, to read and sing through the script. The hard work of learning lines and music begins. All are enthusiastic. In a few months Mona and her entourage will enter the town hall. October: The advertising plan kicks in. Poster designer Jennifer Pfitzer and publicity manager Judith Scott brainstorm how to get the word out. Articles like the one you are reading now are one of the first strategies to alert a potential audience. There will also be website entries, banners, advertisements and use of social media. As always, word of mouth is the best way to spread the word. “Have you heard about the Mudds show opening in December? Maybe we should get a group together—sounds like it is going to be a riot!” November: Tickets, designed and printed by Don Lee, are already at the outlet. You can go to The Davis Agency

Hit train musical pulls into Station Theatre this Nov. 7 Here Comes the Train! The Ottawa Valley Railway Story, the latest hit musical from Stone Fence Theatre, is coming to Smiths Falls on Nov. 7 for two performances at the Station Theatre. The story of the show goes behind the scenes of life in the railway steam era, with much of it based on stories from Smiths Falls, collected with the help of the Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario. The production looks at the lives of the people who worked on and around the trains and the impact railways had on the Ottawa Valley and Canada as a whole. Most of the play is set in the
1950s, with a five-piece band and musical styles including bluegrass, blues and country/ folk. To generate interest, the company has created a YouTube music video tied to the show. The video uses one of the songs from the show, “Got That Train on my Brain,” and was shot, in old-time movie style, at the old railway station in Barry’s Bay. It can be viewed online at https://www.youtube.com/w atch?v=UN8sY3vDU00&featu re=youtube. The show will be performed at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. at the Station Theatre on Nov. 7. The Station Theatre is located at 53
Victoria Avenue. Tickets are available online at www.stonefence.ca or by phone, toll-free, at 1-866-3101004. We invite everyone to keep in touch with all our upcoming shows – like Film Night International’s Louis Cyr on Oct. 29 and the Smiths Falls Community Theatre’s next movie, Mr. Holmes, on Nov. 20 and 21 – by going to our website or joining us on Facebook (Smiths Falls Community Theatre). And stay tuned for the Station Theatre’s announcement of its 2016 season of six plays and the SixPack Flex Pack Voucher. Submitted by the Smiths Falls Community Theatre.
The Always and Forever bridal show held at the ballroom of the Gallipeau Centre was a success. This was the first year for the show that included more than 30 vendors, and a fashion show put on by Swissmiss Bridal. Left, Joseph morin/METROLAND Rebecca Rickenbach-Nolan and daughter Emma take a turn at the bridal show. Joseph Morin/ METROLAND

Evening of One-Act Plays opens Oct. 29 at Studio Theatre An Evening of One-Act Plays is proof that while some stories take two acts and two hours to tell, others are so simple and compelling they deliver a full measure of drama, humour or heartbreak in half that time. Premiering Oct. 29 at the Studio Theatre, An Evening of One-Act Plays is a dramatically different kind of theatre experience – two bite-size plays, each about 30 or 40 minutes long, that welcome theatre goers into two unique worlds in one delightful evening. The first world is that of an early 20th century farmhouse, where a murder has just been committed. Susan Glaspell’s play Trifles, written in 1916, is a murder mystery that, of course, unravels as clues are exposed. But this thought-provoking play also gives us a revealing glimpse into the way women were perceived in a man’s world 100 years ago. The Studio Theatre’s production is directed by Jane Stott, and stars Sheila Jasiak, Joanna McAuley Treffers, Grey Masson, Lucas Tennant, and Martin Treffers. The play features an original music composition, Call Up A Storm, written for the flute by Jen McLaughlin.
From murder mystery to murderously funny, the second oneact of the evening is The Way Of All Fish, written by legendary Academy Award-nominated actress and comedian Elaine May. This dark comedy, with as many twists and turns as a fish’s tail, places us squarely in the middle of a ping-pong power game of one-upmanship between a self absorbed Manhattan executive and her seemingly drab secretary. The Way Of All Fish represents the directorial debut of award-winning Studio Theatre actress Joanna McAuley Treffers, and stars Rideau Awardnominated actress Alexis Scott and accomplished musical theatre actress Keegan Carr. The set is by Reiner Silberhorn, and Joanna McAuley Treffers also takes on the roles of costumer and set dresser, along with Penny Silberhorn. Both Trifles and The Way Of All Fish are Studio Theatre entries in the 2015 edition of the Eastern Ontario Drama League One-Act Play Festival, which takes place in Haliburton the weekend of Nov. 6 to 8. The Studio Theatre has a storied history of success at the Eastern Ontario Drama League Festival, and this year’s entries will

For more than 40 years our community has benefited from the care and medical expertise at CHEO. While some of us have thankfully never had to use CHEO, others have for minor or sometimes more serious issues. The one commonality we all share is a great respect and appreciation for CHEO.

is a beautiful, sweet and very affectionate kitty. She is quite shy and timid so likes to feel relaxed and comfortable. Once you get her out of her shell she loves nothing more then to be stroked and tickled. If you have room in your heart for Eliza, please contact the shelter at 613283-9308. She will be waiting in the window.
This week’s featured pets Rascal Rascal is the funniest kitten. He only just has figured out how much fun playing and hiding inside his blanket is – in the morning, his favourite game is “what’s under the blanket” where you wiggle your hands around and he pounces on them. He had previously preferred eating as much as possible and snoozing the day away. He now has a new secret skill: crawling underneath his blanket and waiting for you to walk by and then trying to tackle you from behind his cage bars. He is such a gentle thing, but he is far too busy for so many kisses. Things to do, places to see. But, when the day is over, he reverts to his snoozy self and you can cuddle him to your heart’s content.
Jesse Jesse is a sweet young gentleman with the ability to steal people’s hearts in just a few minutes. He loves human presence and attention, likes to snuggle up next to you while your cleaning his cage, and enjoys being petted to such a degree that if you don’t initiate it yourself, he gently pokes you with his paw or tries to put his cute little face in your hand! He is curious, responds when you talk to him, and follows you around while you clean. Jesse prefers to be in company of people than being alone,
Eliza Eliza loves to look out the window for the next visitors to the shelter. Possibly it is her turn to be adopted? Eliza

This Week’s Pets and is always super happy to see you in the morning. He enjoys playing with interactive toys, but usually only for about five minutes at a time. He often has very vivid dreams and the accompanying twitching and quivering is really adorable. This warmhearted little guy is looking for someone who will be able to give him all the love and attention he deserves. Our seniors Tangie This loving lady is to old to climb the curtains but not to old to climb on your lap. Tangie is a pretty lady who loves to flirt! She enjoys meeting new friends and would love to meet her new family! Looking for a cool kitty to hang with? Tangie would love to get to know you. Walter This handsome man knows he has the beautiful face and big cheeks every Tom wants! Water is shy when meeting new friends and appreciates gentle
pets. He has a tendency to hide during our open hours because of all the noise and chaos and he comes out when it is quit for a feisty game with the feather wand and other toys before he stretches out in front of a window. Walter wants to stay near people while also being independent enough to happily occupy himself when your busy. He will do great as a member of an easy-going and calm home with adults and children over 12. Come meet this lovely boy today! Max Meet Max: This boy loves to play fetch, and would benefit from an active home that can wear him out! Max meets and greets other dogs nicely, but would prefer to be the only dog in the home so he can be treated like a king. Since he can be a rambunctious boy, he would likely be best suited in a
home without children under the age of seven. He would be a great adventure buddy, and is sure able to keep up with you wherever you go. Max would do well in a home familiar with his breed, and the focused nature of a German Shepherd. If you are looking for a happy boy to be your new buddy, come by and meet him today. Wish list LAWS is currently in need of the following items: small litter boxes, nonclumping cat litter, canned cat food and treats (Temptations), cat toys, canned Pedigree/dog food for dogs with gravey, dog Milk Bones, soft dog treats, Kongs, Chuck Its and other interactive toys (medium size and larger). The shelter is also in need of some cleaning and office products: Bleach, J towels, laundry soap, latex and rubber gloves, garbage bags, primer and white paint, winter shovels, winter salt, printing paper, yellow highlighters, paper towel, Windex and toilet paper. Thank you for your continued support.

UCDSB trustee innovation awards honour excellence in education The Upper Canada District School Board honoured 15 employees Sept. 24 who have found ways to work smarter to benefit our students. The third annual Trustee Innovation Awards saw two team and four individual awards presented during a ceremony at the Brockville board office. The event was designed to recognize innovative work practices by our staff, and highlight these practices so other employees may adopt them and make the system better. Recipients of this year’s award were: The Almonte and District High School Innovators (Ron Ferguson, principal; Andy Carruthers, Dan Hickey, Joe Irvin, Ian Smith, Shelley Smith, Ashleigh Snowdon, and Steve Dalgity, teachers; and Stephany Stamos, educational assistant; Lisa Chitty, teacher, Thousand Islands Elementary School; Carrie Gilmour and Melissa Ringler, teachers, Seaway District High School: Penny Kirkby, custodian, Toniata Public School; Carla Bangma, teacher, Front of Yonge Elementary School, and Kelly LeBlanc, teacher, Russell Public School. In presenting the awards, trustee Caroll Carkner praised the recipients for their trailblazing efforts to improve the educational experience of our students. “This recognition lets our employees know we care and want to celebrate these innovative and creative people,” said Carkner, 1st vice chair of the board. “By highlighting their efforts, it encourages others to try something new and different, the learning spreads among our staff, and our board gets better beSubmitted photo cause of it.” Members of the Almonte and District High School Innovators pose The Almonte District High School Innovators Ron Ferguson: This principal at Almonte and District High School (ADHS) was nominated as part of the Almonte and District High School Innovators team. As the school leader, he facilitates innovation at the school and allows teachers to be creative and explore ways to make school engaging and relevant for students. He has helped introduce a variety of improvements at the school including: a performance arts space, a state-of-the-art fitness room, a new Maker Space room (explained be-

Dan Hickey, teacher: This communications technology teacher is being honoured for several innovative accomplishments at ADHS, including streaming of school sports events, and introducing the Tech Team program to the school, an initiative that offers stu-
dents the opportunity to learn how technology can be used in the modern world for things like learning, sharing ideas and growing businesses. As part of the program, ADHS purchased 18 tablets, which teachers can sign out for use during lessons. After brainstorming ways the tablets could be integrated into lessons and figuring out logistics, the Tech
Team students had an opportunity to switch roles with their teachers and give them a lesson on using the technology. With Hickey’s help, the school was able to win the 2015 Ken Spencer Award for Innovation in Teaching and Learning. Stephany Stamos, educational assistant: Stamos is being cited for starting a new school breakfast program, which makes a free breakfast available to any ADHS student who needs it. The “Thundermuffins” program feeds students a toasted English muffin with eggs and cheese, and a juice to start the day. Stamos secured a $10,000 grant to start the program and organized four teams of community volunteers to help run it. Andy Carruthers, design technology teacher: This veteran teacher helped set up the school’s innovative Maker Space design room where, if students dream it, they can make it. Under his guidance, students have excelled in robotics, welding and metalwork, stain glass and glass etchings, the creation of innovative design projects such as ping pong ball launchers, 3D printing, and T-shirt making. Steve Dalgity, teacher: This teacher was the driving force behind his school’s CrossFit program and ADHS Fitness Space. He designed the state-of-the-art fitness space where staff, students and the community can meet their fitness goals. He even participated in a teacher swap last year with a Grades 7-8 teacher so he could teach intermediate students and spread his passion for fitness to future high school students. Joe Irvin, construction technology teacher: Irvin is being honoured for starting the school’s Heritage Carpentry Program which is working with community partners to build a 9-by-12 foot timber framed building. The structure is being completed this semester by Grades 11 and 12 students enrolled in the Construction Specialist High Skills Major program. It is being built in the school and will later be erected like a barn raising. Area business Gibson Timber Frames provided two workshops to students to teach them basic timber frame joinery: using proper layout techniques and then using traditional mortise and tenon joinery cuts using large chisels, saws and specialized mortising machines.
Ian Smith, student success and English teacher: This veteran teacher is being recognized for out-of-the-box approaches that engage struggling students. After discovering some of the at-risk students in his essentials English class were interested in hunting and the outdoors, Smith had them research and create their own survival guides for enduring a Canadian winter outside in February. The students built their own fires and snow shelters, and kept journals about the experience. He also piloted a “oneto-one” instructional approach with his essentials students. Working with community partners, who helped sponsor the purchase of tablets that his students could use in class, he now delivers instruction using OneNote and various adaptive technologies to engage his students. He has been so successful that teams of teachers from across the board have visited his classroom to witness the learning he inspires among some of the school’s most challenged students. Shelley Smith, music teacher: This outstanding teacher is being honoured for enhancing the music program at ADHS by serving as the driving force behind the school’s performance arts space. Consulting with parents, students and community members, she has designed a space that allows both individuals and groups to pursue their artistic endeavours. While an intermediate teacher, she also works to provide music lessons to secondary students at ADHS by participating in a teacher swap. Ashleigh Snowdon, teacher: This dedicated intermediate teacher is being cited for an instructional approach that encourages students to work together to solve “real life” math problems. Instead of the traditional teacher-based instruction, Snowdon engages students as a co-learner. She also works to bring educational concepts to life through projectbased learning. With the help of the secondary school’s technology department, she had her students work to develop designs and build model hot tubs, allowing students to learn collaboratively through problem-solving about electricity, water flow, and various materials.

(Attention Cheryl) DEADLINE IS THURSDAY BY NOON
Looking back with fondness on the legacy of Max Keeping “He was a very very well known man!” This will be but only one way in which Max Keeping wilal be referred to in the future. Celebrity, humanitarian, news anchor, fundraiser, character and a “good friend of the people” will no doubt be used as well. He has been called an “outlaw” (in the sense that certain ‘70s country artists were referred to) and he once stated that he was “honoured” to be ranked amongst them. For more then 30 years, Max was a fixture on the CTV Ottawa Evening News. Each night more then 200,000 viewers in Ottawa and the Valley would tune in religiously to see him deliver the news. In the past, titles such as “Newsline” and “CJOH News” were as much a part of the common everyday language as the terms family farm, lumberjacks, snow and maple syrup. Max Keeping encompassed all of that and more. Born in Newfoundland, he came to the Ottawa area during the mid-1960s and
began his broadcasting career on CFRA radio. Shortly thereafter, he moved over to channel 13 (CJOH) and remained there until his retirement. He credited his longstanding relationship with the late legendary Valley singer/songwriter Mac Beattie as being key to understanding and the basis for the love of the Valley that he came to hold so dearly. “Mac was a dear friend to me and so much more,” Max shared. “In fact, I’d have to say he was like a father to me and I both loved and respected him dearly. A finer man one would be hard pressed to find.” “In fact, it might well have been Mac that first called me a Newfie Cowboy and I’m proud of that term as well,” he added. During the years he has been a celebrity, Max has been involved with numerous causes and in extensive charity fundraising activities. The list goes on and on but it’s suffice to say that he never turned his back on a good cause. He did this because he felt it was his
It is well known that he suffered many battles with cancer but he always kept up the good fight and was a positive force to be dealt with. Many rode the “train of hope” and found their inner faith and strength along with him and through him. He just had that kind of impact on people. LyLe diLLabough I didn’t know that he knew who I was, or anything about me, until I interviewed responsibility as a public figure to use his him the first time. Then I found out that name and popularity to serve others and he knew just about everything. And from the community as a whole. “If we don’t that time on we became sort of a silent reach out to those in need, then we have failed in our roles as people, journalists, celebrities, or whatever,” he said. In an interview he shared (that as well Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind as being an avid country music fan) he was also one serious “metalhead” and has launched a raffle for a WestJet Gift loves groups such as Metallica, Deep of Flight. You can win a return trip for two people to any schedule WestJet desPurple and Ozzy Osbourne. “I told my granddaughter that one had tination, including all taxes and fees. A maximum of 705 tickets will be to ‘experience’ them once and then see them again to ‘remember’ them,” he said sold. Cost is $20 per ticket. The draw will take place on Dec. 18. The prize with a huge laugh. “Everyday is a gift from God and we of a Gift of Flight has been donated by all need to see it that way,” he explained. WestJet with 100 per cent of the pro-

cheering section for each other. He often sent a crew out to cover some fundraising event that I might be involved with and always helped us in getting much needed publicity. However, the thing that amazes me most about the man was his incredible popularity and the magnetism he had with people. He was just one of those rare persons who possessed that quality. No better a person to possess this quality then someone such as him; a rare find indeed. And a great one at that!

UCDSB earns healthy workplace award The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) was honoured Oct. 29 as a shining example of a healthy workplace. On behalf of the board, UCDSB staff received the Canada Awards for Excellence Healthy Workplace Platinum Award for its health, wellness and safety programs during the Performance Excellence Summit and Canada Awards for Excellence at the Sheraton Centre in Toronto. The UCDSB will be the first school board in Canada to receive the award. The trophy, presented by Excellence Canada, honours the board for quality programs that care for the physical and psychological health and safety of its employees and which help them achieve and maintain exemplary health. The award comes after an extensive review by Excellence Canada of all UCDSB health, wellness and safety programming. The board qualified due to its sound systemic approach to sustaining a healthy workplace, its atmosphere of continuous improvement, and its data-driven approach demonstrating sustained positive improvements in all areas of health and safety programming. “I am extremely pleased,” added Penny Raabe, a compensation and wellness specialist with the board. “This prestigious award is tangible evidence of our organization’s level of excellence. Raabe gave credit for the honour to the late Linda Billing, former manager of employee services, who led UCDSB efforts to gain bronze, silver and gold certifications under the Excellence Canada program, and whose foundational work helped the board achieve platinum status. Submitted by Mark Calder, communications officer, Upper Canada District School Board.

Last Witch Hunter earns Warm turkey rice salad an ‘A’ with a ‘B’ movie plot makes a great lunch or dinner MOVIE: The Last Witch Hunter STARRING: Vin Diesel, Rose Leslie, Elijah Wood, Olafur Darri Olafsson, Julie Engelbrect and Michael Caine DIRECTOR: Breck Eisner RATING: PG-13
The Last Witch Hunter is the kind of modern day sword and sorcery you’d expect to see on Space late at night with a great big giant ‘B’ stamped all over it. Yet this is the best ‘B’ movie I’ve seen in a long time. Maybe ever. Eight hundred years ago Kaulder (Vin Diesel) and a group of warriors set out to destroy the Witch Queen (Julie Engelbrect). Kaulder came face to face with the supernatural terror, and defeated her. On the brink of death the Queen lashed out, and with her last strength cursed Kaulder with eternal life. Kaulder has spent his immortality protecting humanity from witches alongside a secret religious organization called The Axe and Cross. Today, in the present, there’s a truce between humanity and witch kind. Kaulder works to keep the peace acting more like a police officer
My Take
Mark haskins
than a warrior. All that changes when Kaulder’s watcher and chronicler, the 36th Dolan (Michael Caine), is attacked. The Axe and Cross always has a Dolan with Kaulder to guide and protect him. The current Dolan was set to retire when he was attacked, which is a coincidence Kaulder and the 37th Dolan (Elijah Wood) can’t ignore. A witch calling himself Belail (Olafur Darri Olafsson) is seeking to resurrect the Witch Queen. It falls to Kaulder, along with a young witch named Chloe (Rose Leslie), and the 37th Dolan to stop him. If they fail the Witch Queen will destroy humanity. It’s no secret that Vin Diesel is a huge Dungeons and Dragons fan. He’s been wanting to do a D&D movie for a long time, and while those plans have never come to fruition it looks like The Last Witch Hunter is it. This
film feels a lot like a D&D campaign, but more than that it’s a good fantasy film. The story is a classic battle of good versus evil. The action is fantastic allowing Vin to do what he does best. The effects bring a startling and unique vision of evil to life. Each element is just really well done. The cast is surprising. Michael Caine is not someone I’d expect to see in this kind of fantasy film. Yet having a talent like Caine can only make your film better, which it does, and he has great chemistry with Diesel. Much the same can be said for Elijah Wood as the 37th Dolan. Then there are the relative newcomers Olafur Darri Olafsson, Rose Leslie, and Julie Engelbrect who are great. Vin Diesel has made a career out of playing the brooding hero, and this brooding hero is one of his best. I really like this character. I really like Diesel as this character, and I hope he manages to make two or three of these films. The Last Witch Hunter may be a ‘B’ movie plot, but everything else is an A. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

Industry magazine survey lists most and least dependable for 2015 Some interesting news in the automotive industry has cropped up in the last few weeks. Consumers Report released their 2015 Auto Reliability Survey and while it found the usual contenders at the top and suspects at the bottom, there were some surprising results. Their survey is based not only on their own testing (Consumers buys and owns all the vehicles they test) but from feedback from almost 750,000 subscribers on problems encountered during the ďŹ rst three years of ownership. The top ďŹ ve makes were Lexus, Toyota, Audi, Mazda, and Subaru and the bottom ďŹ ve were InďŹ niti, Cadillac, Ram, Jeep and Fiat. The Tesla S luxury sports electric sedan lost its Consumers Report recommended status due to what CR deemed to be an excessive amount of owner reported problems. Interestingly enough, a survey of current Tesla S owners found that 97 per cent would buy another one. Chevrolet seems to be bucking the trend of consumer interest trailing away from electric vehicles that have plagued other automakers due to relatively low gasoline prices in 2015. They recently announced the addition of a second shift to the product plant
that produces the extended-range Volt as well as the Cadillac ETR due to increased demand. Chevrolet and the Roush family of companies have teamed up to ďŹ ll a veriďŹ ed market need. Roush, better known for armoured vehicle design and creation, has taken stock Chevrolet Spark subcompacts and modiďŹ ed them for Dominos Pizza for delivery vehicles. They come equipped with a large warming oven and an interior capacity to hold up to 80 pizzas. Dominos franchise owners in the US can purchase the Spark DXP (Delivery Expert) for $20,000-$25,000. Just in time for football season. If any one car company could be labeled as a die-hard fan of the Back to the Future movie franchise, it would have to be Toyota. First, earlier this year, the design and engineering team at Toyota’s luxury make Lexus, came out with a fully functioning hoverboard (it needs a steel or iron plated surface to hover on). It looks remarkably identical to the toy that Michael J. Fox’s character in the movies uses to escape a number of perilous situations and took more than a little effort and resources to bring to life. Now they have created a series of TV spots and short online
Auto Know
Brian turner
videos to promote their hydrogen fuel-cell powered Mirai. Toyota launched production models of the Mirai in Japan at the end of last year and has committed to enter the US and European markets soon. In their ads and videos Toyota enlisted both Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd (co-stars of all three Back to the Future ďŹ lms) to ponder what technologies from their movies actually made it into reality. Check out the various versions on YouTube. Broken or defective, who decides? One of the most common sources of service-counter friction between customers and dealership service personnel is the broken/defective warranty debate. This mostly involves trim items but even these can get expensive to repair or replace. Consumers can basically be sorted into two camps on this issue. The ďŹ rst will readily admit it was their fault and ask for a repair estimate and the latter will
insist that the car manufacturer should be responsible for anything that breaks or fails within the warranty period. However it’s the dealership’s job to determine whether a part failed from a manufacturing defect or from an excessive or improper use of the component. This can be a ďŹ ne line to toe. Dealerships are required under their franchise agreements to operate in a manner that is responsible to both the car company they represent and their customers. If their warranty expenses rise too high as a result of claiming anything and everything, they can be subjected to a very harsh audit and chargeback of questionable claims. On the other side of the
coin, if they never give their customers the beneďŹ t of the doubt from time to time, they will lose business. Best advice; be honest and upfront at the counter and if your dog chewed through a $400 seatbelt, or one of the tribe broke a seat handle with a hockey stick, get out the credit card and be prepared to pay.

1975 Pontiac Ventura with a Cadillac 500 V8 the result of years of work Peter Phillips of Mississauga, Ont., purchased a 1975 Pontiac Ventura in 1991 from its original owner to be his wife’s daily driver. Two years later, he had to fix some things. Once he started, he couldn’t stop and the car is now completely rebuilt into its present state. “Not only is it a ‘dare to be different’ car, it’s a ‘low-buck’ car too. Sheet metal was repaired or replaced including stock. To economize, I painted it in my I had to buy. full rear quarters but many other pieces garage. When it was done, I still have “Then I drove it for a year or two but were made from ordinary sheet metal the air compressor and spray equipment it’s hard to drive a screaming red car
and not be challenged on the street – and with a 231 V6, it was embarrassing. So I started looking for a big cube V8. Big block Chevies were too expensive and 455 Buick Olds and Pontiacs were almost as bad. Then I read about the big 500 cubic inch Caddy motors. Get one out of an Eldorado with the rear sump pan and I’d have 500 ft. lbs. of torque. A donor car was found and the swap began. “It’s not an easy swap. Motor mounts have to be fabricated, exhaust headers are made from modified BBC headers, suspension needs to be altered in a couple of places, steering shaft pushed to the outside and all the other bits and pieces that need to be fabbed for any engine swap. An aluminum rad and electric fan do the cooling. “The engine has been completely rebuilt with Comp Cams cam, springs and lifters, Edelbrock intake and a few subtle distributor and carb changes.

want to cut the hood for a hood scoop. A B&M ratchet shifter changes the gears, homemade frame connectors tie the sub frames together, and a drive shaft loop in case I break it. I estimate the power somewhere in the mid to high 400s for hp but the torque is well above 500 ft. lbs. now. “The interior was completely redone and appears stock with original bench seat. It rides on BF Goodrich radial T/ As and US Steel 5 spoke rims. “Many times while doing this car, I wondered why. It’s not an SS or GTO, just a Ventura. But with Caddy power it gets attention at car shows. Plus I’m no longer embarrassed by lack of horsepower. The car is an absolute blast to d rive!” I’m always looking for more stories.

One-stop shop for brides The Always and Forever bridal show held at the ballroom of the Gallipeau Centre in Smiths Falls on Saturday, Oct. 24. This was the first year for the show that included more than 30 vendors, and a fashion show put on by Swissmiss Bridal, a new bridal boutique on Beckwith Street. Plans are already in the works for next year’s show at the centre. Right, Sabrina Rickenbacher shows off a wedding gown from Swissmiss Bridal.

ENERGY $AVING$! Before buying an air conditioning unit or system, find out its energy-efficiency ratio (EER). Calculate the EER by dividing the unit’s cooling capacity (BTUs/ hour) by its energy requirement (watts). An EER of 10 or more is very good, and 6 or 7 is fair. Remember to buy the smallest capacity unit or system that will meet your needs.

Local man helps give wheelchaired racer a lift in obstacle race Stacey Roy
sroy@perfprint.ca
Area resident Matt Volk embodied the incredible hulk’s strength in every way when he joined a team of 10 who took a wheelchair bound man through a 7.5 km obstacle race known as the XMan Race. The Quebec event took place this past September and was a first time experience for Volk who put on an Incredible Hulk costume and worked with a team of like dressed participants to push Samuel Camirand up ski mountains and over 14-foot walls to the finish line. He saw Camirand finish his very first obstacle race this past June and was blown away by the support from the crowd and the look of accomplishment on every team member’s face. “When I saw them cross the finish line it was amazing,” Volk recalls He knew he wanted to be a part of that and take on this new physical challenge in extreme sport. Volk knows first-hand the sudden and devastating blow a lack of mobility can present a person. He suffered a serious car accident some years ago and was told he may never walk again. Going from relying on a cane for stability to today where he is a seasoned obstacle course racer with three years worth of medals under his belt, Volk has felt the pure joy that comes with finishing the course and the importance of celebrating everyone’s abilities. “We’re very, very lucky,” Volk said of his approach to this race. “It’s giving somebody else the opportunity to at least try it out.” Camirand lives with Friedreich’s Ataxia, which is a rare condition that

Port Elmsley area resident, Matt Volk is shown in an incredible hulk costume above working with his team, the Samwheels, as they work to get Samuel Camirand of Quebec over an obstacle wall. The team wanted Camirand to experience the feeling of crossing the finish line of an obstacle race.

causes nervous system damage and mobility problems. In Camirand’s case, he is unable to walk, but can feel his legs, which makes maneuvering him through each obstacle very challenging. When asked by the Record News what it takes to trust a group of people so much that you would let them lift you in a harness up a 14-foot wall, Camirand wrote in a translated (he is French speaking) email interview that the experience on course is really no different than his day-to-day life. “When one is in a wheelchair, we have no choice but to trust the people who surround us.” The multiple obstacle course challenged the team at every turn. Volk said the approach to this race was unlike anything he had ever experienced. On his own, he is able to trust in his strength and immediately attack any obstacle he approaches, but with Camirand the team had to stand back and consider each and every obstacle. Not only did they want to make sure that their friend was okay, but every member had to secure themselves to the obstacle before aiding Camirand over it. On one wall, Volk said they tried three different ways of getting over, but in the end he and another team mate had to scale the wall and grip it with their legs before reaching down to help lift Camirand to their level. Despite this challenge, the Samwheels team conquered nearly every obstacle in five hours and 15 minutes, and each time Camirand had the largest smile on his face. “That was the best part,” Volk said. The feeling of achievement was something Camirand enjoyed sharing with his teammates. One of his high-

lights and biggest achievements of the race was the fourth successful pipe the team climbed together. “When I got to the other side of the wall [and saw] so much pride in the eyes of all my team – Wow! It was beautiful to see,” Camirand wrote. The Montreal area resident thanks every member of his team who helped him experience what it means to be an XMan in the race and in life. “It is they who have allowed me to see that it is possible for people in wheelchairs,” Camirand wrote. His success on the obstacle course has demonstrated his abilities in life to himself, his friends and his family. “People look at me like a limitless person; a person who is not limited to the constraints of the wheelchair,” Camirand wrote. Volk was honoured to be considered a member of the Samwheels team The September race earned the Smiths Falls area man his 50th medal this season, which was his 2015 season goal. “It couldn’t happen any better,” Volk added. “At the beginning of the year I didn’t think I would get it.” This personal achievement came from completing each course twice and trusting in what his body can do. Volk isn’t sure what next season’s goal will be as he will be turning 40 in 2016 and will be the youngest in his age group and so has a strong chance at a podium finish. One thing Volk knows for sure, he will be back in Montreal this February with Camirand for the Polar Bear race. “This is just the beginning,” Camirand wrote: I “thank them immensely for making me live this memorable race; a race I will remember all my life.”

Holiday Train lights up region Nov. 29, food bank donations welcome The festive lights of the Canadian Pacific (CP) Holiday Train will be making its way into Merrickville, Smiths Falls and Perth this Nov. 29 to raise money, food and awareness for food banks and hunger issues. The show schedule in this region is as follows: • Merrickville: from 5-5:30 p.m. at 103 East Broadway & County Road 2 on the south side of the crossing near Bay Street. • Smiths Falls: 6:30-7 p.m. at the Smiths Falls train station (63 Victoria Street). • Perth: 8-8:30 p.m. at the railway crossing on the south side of Wilson Street. “Year after year, the Holiday Train brings great talent and memorable experiences to families across our network while raising money for local food banks and food shelves,” said E. Hunter Harrison, CP chief executive officer. “Regardless of circumstances, everyone should have access to healthy, nutritious food. The Holiday Train plays an integral role in broadening the conversation around food and hunger issues across North America.” Each year, the program encourages people attending the event to bring heart healthy donations. Heart health education and awareness is a tenet of CP’s community investment program, CP Has Heart, which focuses on improving the heart health of men, women and children in communities across North America. “CP’s train of lights provides a platform to speak about the needs of North American food banks. This is why we are challenging all our event attendees to reach into their cupboards and donate quality nutritious food items to help raise food for those who need it most this holiday season,” said Katharine Schmidt, executive director, Food Banks Canada. The two brightly lit trains will kick off in the Montreal area on Nov. 27 and 28 on their way to visit approximately 150 communities. The Canadian Train travels west across Canada finishing its journey in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia.
Entertainment Holiday Train veteran and award-winning country singer, Kelly Prescott will team up with Devin Cuddy, and CP’s famed Holiday Train band for the three local shows. From the beginning, Cuddy has dedicated himself to getting as close as he could to the source of all the sounds he loved be it rock and roll, country or jazz. He has been pumping out original music since 2012. Watch out for his new record set to be released sometime this year. Once the Canadian train completes its journey across the prairies and arrives in Calgary, Devin Cuddy will reunite with his father, Canadian songwriting legend Jim Cuddy of Blue Rodeo and continue the trip with Kelly and the band until they reach the west coast. The online schedule is now live at www.cpr.ca/ holiday-train.

which is why the current tourism office is located within the Perth Museum. Coun. Jim Graff had made a request in September for staff to look into the matter in the hopes of attracting “passersby to visit the downtown core,” wrote Baillon. She added that while the downtown core is about a kilometer away from Highway 7, the town owns no land along the highway. “I don’t think it’d be a good fit,” said the (then) acting mayor John Gemmell. “It’s better to spend the money elsewhere.” Coun. Jim Boldt added that “social media is the way to go,” something that Baillon agreed with in her report. “The savvy traveler relies on social media.” “With the increased usage of mobile phones and social media, it is believed that the effort would be better spent in sending out more information electronically through social media and ensuring

that the tourism website is always updated with the latest information,” said Baillon. In her report, Baillon noted that there has been a seven to nine per cent increase in U.S. and international visitors to the province since 2014. She suggested that a good way to tap into this market would be to buy advertising at 400 series highway ONroute service centres. Highways 400 and 401 have more than 500,000 travellers along them daily. The cost of a 30 second advertisement, looped every 10 minutes for six months is $6,000 at a tourism information kiosk in one of these stops. Graff admitted, “I know times change. In the past it (a booth) was of good benefit to us.” But he reiterated that “on Highway 7, we do need to mark the 200th anniversary,” and let people driving by know about it, with “some form of signage out on Highway 7 promoting our 200th.” Gemmell assured Boldt that “there will definitely be something there. It is on the radar.”

COLD WEATHER TIPS FOR YOUR COMPOST BIN: In order to prevent loose organics from freezing to the sides of your green bin in winter: • Spray your green bin with cooking oil from time to time in the winter to ensure easy removal of waste. • Wrap a liner of newspaper or paper bags around the material before placing it inside the bin. The recycling containers are designed for the Canadian environment, however residents are requested to maintain their bins. Your efforts to reduce frozen material adhering to the containers will support the program by ensuring fewer containers will need replacement.
BEAT THE SILENT KILLER: PREVENT CO IN YOUR HOME Ontario’s second annual Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week runs from November 1-7, 2015, and the Perth Fire Department reminds you to install carbon monoxide (CO) alarms in your home, if you have a fuel-burning appliance, a fireplace or an attached garage. “The law requires that you have a working CO alarm adjacent to each sleeping area of the home if your home has a fuel-burning appliance, a fireplace or an attached garage,” says Perth Fire Chief, Steve Fournier. “For added protection, install a carbon monoxide alarm on every storey of the home according to manufacturer’s instructions.” Fuel-burning appliances can include furnaces, hot water heaters, gas or wood fireplaces, portable fuelburning heaters and generators, barbeques, stoves and vehicles. If you live in a condo or apartment building with a service room, CO alarms must be installed in the service room and adjacent to each sleeping area of all homes above, below and beside the service room. In condo or apartment buildings that have a garage, CO alarms must be installed adjacent to each sleeping area of all homes above, below and beside the garage. “In Ontario, more than 80% of injuries and deaths from CO occur in the home,” says Chief Fournier “We want to make sure everyone is safe from CO. Install CO alarms, and do everything you can to prevent CO in your home in the first place.” What is CO? • CO is known as the silent killer because it is an invisible, tasteless and odourless gas that can be deadly. • CO is produced when fuels such as propane, gasoline, natural gas, heating oil or wood do not burn completely in fuel-burning appliances and devices such as furnaces, gas or wood fireplaces, hot water heaters, stoves, barbeques, portable fuel-burning heaters and generators and vehicles. Prevent CO in your home: • Ensure all fuel-burning appliances in your home are inspected annually. Visit COSafety. ca to find a registered contractor near you. • Check that all outside appliance vents are not blocked. • Never use a portable fuel-burning appliance inside (i.e. barbeques, portable heaters and generators). Know the symptoms of CO: • Exposure to CO can cause flu-like symptoms such as headaches, nausea, dizziness, as well as confusion, drowsiness, loss of consciousness and death. • If your CO alarm sounds, and you or other occupants suffer from symptoms of CO poisoning, get everyone out of the home immediately. Then call 9-1-1 or your local emergency services number from outside the building. • If your CO alarm sounds, and no one is suffering from symptoms of CO poisoning, check to see if the battery needs replacing, or the alarm has reached its “end-of-life” before calling 9-1-1. Know the sound of your CO alarm: • Your CO alarm sounds different than your smoke alarm. Test both alarms monthly and make sure everyone in your home knows the difference between the two alarm sounds. • Don’t be confused by the sound of your CO alarm’s low-battery warning. Follow your CO alarm manufacturer’s instructions so you know the difference between the low-battery warning, the “end-of-life” warning, and the alarm alerting you to the presence of CO in your home. For more info contact the Perth Fire Department at 613-267-5574.
NOTICE: HAGGART DAM RECONSTRUCTION Please take note that work on the smaller Haggart Dam is scheduled to begin during the week of October 26 and continue until November. The Municipality has purchased a large temporary dam that will be in place to eliminate water flow in the smaller channel of the Tay River as staff install the rocky material into the river bed to replace the failed dam. There will be no pedestrian access to the Rainbow Bridge while work continues.
FALL LEAF PICK-UP: The Environmental Services Department will be performing its annual leaf collection service this year. Collection will commence on Monday, November 16, 2015 at 7:00 am and continue no later than 4:30 pm Friday November 20, 2015. Leaf bags do not require an orange waste tag, however, residents are encouraged to use clear plastic or paper leaf bags, making it obvious to the operator that the bags contain leaves.

Perth chamber signs cross-promotion deal with Excelerator Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
SCOTT REID, MP
LANARK--FRONTENAC--KINGSTON
The Perth and District Chamber of Commerce is going into business with The Excelerator Business Incubator and Co-work Centre – in a manner of speaking. The two groups signed a memorandum of understanding earlier this month, agreeing to mutually promote each other’s initiatives and events. “They are fanning out across the county,” said the chamber’s general manager, John Levatte, during a press conference at the chamber’s headquarters at Inge-Va House on Thursday, Oct. 1, of The Excelerator’s influence in the county. Indeed, their coverage area extends over all of Lanark County and North Leeds too. He said that he felt that “small to medium-sized businesses could benefit,” from the agreement. The Excelerator, based in Smiths Falls at the Gallipeau Centre, the former Rideau Regional Centre, is a place where small and/or start-up businesses can go to rent office space, get access to technology (Wi-Fi for example), and get practical business advice from visiting speakers and in-house experts. It has the backing of the Valley Heartland Community Futures Development Corporation. “If they (Perth businesses) lack expertise, they could tap into that expertise,” said Levatte.

From left, businessman Allan Brown, a member of the Perth and District Chamber of Commerce’s economic development committee; Louis Gaudpeau, chair of the chamber’s economic development committee; chamber general manager John Levatte, and Richard Quigley, executive manager of The Excelerator Business Incubator and Co-work Centre, are pictured at Inge-Va House in Perth on Oct. 1. The Excelerator’s executive manager, Richard Quigley, said, “It’s natural for us to try to reach out to them (the chamber) and try to cross-promote with them. We are trying to do the same thing they are – grow viable businesses in the community.” The agreement, which could see the two groups co-hosting events, and pro-
moting each other’s events, has been a long time coming. “We have been kicking it around for a little while,” said Levatte. “Getting all of the bodies in the room seems to be difficult.” “We had an open discussion on it,” agreed Quigley. Some of the events – which Levatte
admits are still in the “early thinking” stages – could include a seminar or daylong event, bringing educators together with professional business community, “to talk about labour in our area, where the gaps are, what’s missing from the training in our local employers,” said Levatte. “We would love to have some of that thinking around the table.”
As for Quigley, he would love to see more businesses become aware of what the incubator does, and how it could benefit businesses in the area, such as a “mom and pop” outfit that is looking to expand. In fact, Perth may have gotten the jump on our neighbours throughout the county by signing this type of deal. “Carleton Place, and Mississippi Mills and Smiths Falls chambers have all agreed that they want to sign a memorandum of understanding (too),” said Quigley. “It’s just getting them all in one room. They were all very supportive of the idea of growing the business community…(But) it says something of Perth that they like to take the initiative.” Allan Brown has already seen how The Excelerator working with the chamber can be of benefit to local businesses – he’s been the living embodiment of it, actually, having lectured at The Excelerator and sitting on the chamber’s economic development committee. Brown moved to the area from Toronto about two-and-a-half years ago and is trying to build up a loyalty marketing and ecommerce company. “There are lots of web developers here. It’s an interesting area,” said Brown. Last year, he helped deliver a workshop on the new anti-spam legislation for the chamber. “We’re excited to see what can come of it,” said Levatte.
THANK YOU!
I want to thank the voters in the new electoral district of Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston for giving me a sixth mandate to serve as their representative in the House of Commons. The election campaign is over and, for the 338 MPs elected to the 42nd Parliament, the business of governing the nation now begins. With each new election, all MPs---both new and old---have to be prepared to adjust to changes in government, changes in riding boundaries, and changes in the political issues that dominate the news. Representing all residents of this riding, regardless of how they voted in the election, will be my top priority in the coming months. From Kingston in the south end of this riding to Pakenham in the north, I hope you will always feel my door is open, and that you will always be aware that my staff is eager to help you with any government issue. Sincerely, Scott Reid

Big changes are happening for Rideau Ferry’s Bethel United Church Bazaar this year. Historically the small rural church has held a successful Christmas tea and bazaar, holding a lovely Christmas worship service and selling hundreds of tins of their famous homemade cookies. As a result of their success, the event has been changed to better accommodate everyone who wants to attend. This year, their annual Worship, Tea, and Bazaar will be a two day event! In the past the United Church Women’s (UCW) group of the church have enjoyed tremendous success with their annual bazaar. So much so, that the crowds were becoming a lot to manage. “We want to continue to sell cookies, and we don’t want to cut out the things that make the event truly special, like the worship,” says UCW member Linda Hamon. “We’re taking a risk and spreading it out. We hope that people can come and enjoy a very special Christmas worship service and then come another day to shop the bake sale. We’ll have more help, and the help will be a little less tired!” This UCW group is highly supportive of local charities, including the snowsuit fund, Interval House, and various children’s charities. Funds raised from this event help the Bethel UCW support local not for profit agencies as well as add to the needs of the local congregation. The Worship, Tea, and Craft Sale will take place on Wednesday, November 18th from 1:30-4:00pm. Orders for tins of mixed cookies will be taken, on the day, for pick-up at the bake sale on Dec. 5 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Telephone orders will also be accepted until Nov. 22 by calling 613283-1777. Also this fall, the local church will be hosting a now annual event, “Give Me That Old Tyme Religion on Nov. 8. Come join the Bethel United Church Choir and the Rideau Mellowdears in a presentation and sing-along of favourite gospel tunes and special requests. Come for dessert at 6 p.m. and stay for the performance at 7 p.m. Want to know more about this dynamic group, or about the local church and its services? Call the church office at 613267-3855 to speak to Rev. Elizabeth Tucker. Submitted by the Bethel United Church

Kids working in the pumpkin patch at Drummond Central School Drummond Central School students do not need to go on a field trip to visit a pumpkin patch – they have their own! This second year of gardening involved the students in all aspects of the patch. From planting and nurturing the pumpkins, to observing changes throughout their growth, to harvesting, students were involved in it all. The activities created the opportunity for hands-on learning, a connection to the eco-system, interconnection with community, and a reinforcement of a healthy lifestyle. Beginning in early May we started by planting the pumpkin, corn, and sunflower seeds indoors, and preparing the ground outdoors. A family from our school brings in composted manure from their farm and the students shovel and spread it, knowing that this gives the “vitamins” to build healthy soil. They map out a grid, and form the mounds that will be home to the future seedlings. After the transplanting has taken place the students love getting at the straw bales (also donated by a local farmer) climbing on them, tearing them apart, and finely mulching the whole garden. Anything to keep the weeds away! Then we celebrate by bringing the school together at the garden site and learning from our elders. The first year Ed Lawrence, CBC Radio’s gardening expert, came to our official garden opening ceremony and encouraged us to keep up the good work. This year we had a local beekeeper, Paul Lacelle talk to us about the role of bees and their part in pollinating the pumpkin flowers. The learning continues as we use our rain barrels for watering and talk about water conservation. We observe the differences between what our seedlings look like and what the weeds look like. We notice that a pumpkin that has been left to rot

Students at Drummond Central School are having a good time in their garden as it’s pumpkin harvesting time. in our compost pile has re-seeded itself and grows to be as big as the pumpkins in our garden. This is truly an outdoor classroom! With the return to school in September excitement continues to grow. The sunflowers are in bloom and pumpkin vines have become a lush green carpet spotted with orange from place to
place. Creativity flourishes! The kindergarten children designed and then created 2 large scarecrows that stood watch over the well cared for plants. Now they start pumpkin investigations, and a wall of their indoor classroom is dedicated to the language, math, science and art that they are exploring in their garden. They go outdoors to ob-
serve and sketch the sunflowers. Pastel drawings of pumpkins line the halls of the older classes. The garden inspires learning and creativity in countless ways. The harvest day is of course the highlight of the gardening year. We come armed with our wagons and wheel barrows and the busy students run back and forth delivering their freshly picked pumpkins to the pumpkin pile. We all guess at the final tally before counting them up - this year we harvested 96 pumpkins! More than last year, but much smaller in size (one giant last year weighed in at 101 pounds!). Not as good for carving, but perfect for baking! On baking day the students help turn pumpkin puree into delicious and nutritious food. The items we’ve tried so far include 2 kinds of roasted pumpkin seeds, pumpkin dip (delicious with fresh fruit), pumpkin cookies and the all-time favourite, pumpkin ice cream. Sweet reward for all of the student’s hard work! Our experience backs up research findings that clearly state children who learn to grow their own food are much more likely to eat fruits and vegetables. I love it when a student hears how other kids love the dip, and then decide to try it after initially declining. There is a lot of enthusiasm and never any leftovers! After this second year of gardening at our school we clearly see the benefits of children learning about agriculture, how to nourish themselves, and how to take care of our environment. These students are learning life skills in an easy going and positive atmosphere, and the effects will last a lifetime. Submitted by Donna Mae Klassen for Drummond Central School

Table’s community garden celebrates a successful growing season
POLICE SERVICES BOARD VACANCY Do you want to…
little effort, to harvest a feast for over 20 people. People were most surprised at the asparagus-like flavour of the young milkweed shoots. One young participant said, “This is the best Saturday I’ve had all year.” A new addition to the garden program was harvesting produce from local trees and fields where the owners were otherwise not able to make use of all the abundant production. Locations were found in collaboration with the Giving Harvest and groups of volunteers were sent out to harvest squash, apples, grapes and beets. Thanks to all those who donated produce and especially to Sweet Meadow Farm for donating two rows of beets – about 600 pounds worth! While the hands-on work may be over for the season, there is always planning to happen for the next season. One new direction for The Table in 2016 will be re-establishing an allotment garden
in Perth. For years, an area behind the Lanark County offices provided individuals with place to grow food. The County, however, required the space for other purposes and gardeners were left without a place to grow. The Table has been in discussion with the county, the Town of Perth, Transition Perth and So It Grows to see how we can get a new allotment garden established. The Table will be hosting an open meeting with past and potential allotment gardeners to discuss alternatives for a new area. The meeting will be on Wednesday, Nov. 4, at 6:30 p.m. at The Table. Other planning sessions specific to The Table’s gardens will be held throughout the winter with information available on The Table’s website (www.thetablecfc. org) and Facebook page.

With much of the fall colour fading and the frosts getting harder, Table Community Food Centre’s garden program is winding down for the season. Among the last tasks for garden volunteers is the planting of the annual garlic crop. Thanks to an unexpected donation of seed garlic from Glengyle Garlic Farm, the gardeners have just finished an extra planting and otherwise things have pretty well wrapped up for the season. The 2016 growing season was a resounding success with the team of volunteers growing over two-tons of food that was shared between the Table’s Good Food Bank, community meals and food skills programs, and the gardeners themselves. The staff at The Table extends sincere thanks to all the volunteers for their hard work this season. This summer, the Table was pleased to support the efforts of the Town of Perth in its successful bid to win the national Communities in Bloom competition. We were thrilled with the recognition from the judges: “The Table is a model for any municipality committed to educating youth and children about food, and to building pride within the community.” Monthly workshops were well attended throughout the spring, summer and fall. One of the highlights was the Submitted photo edible wilds workshop in May. The The Table Community Food Centre has finished harvesting its crop in session was a collaboration with the Lanark Wild Food Club. Participants the community garden. Pictured is Raymond Farrell, community garwere amazed that they were able, with den volunteer, who is carrying a box of harvested spaghetti squash.

Regular winter, hold the ice
T
he federal election is over, so you know what that means. Yep, it’s time to get back to talking about the weather. A couple of weeks ago I made the astute deduction that the weather has started to turn colder. I’m pretty observant that way. Autumn comes along and suddenly I am a font of knowledge on the temperature front. Just WAIT until winter rolls in – there will be no stopping the blizzard of witty brilliance in this space. Anyway, bringing up cooler weather launched into a rather surprising diatribe about socks. So I shall hereby take the opportunity to get back to our regularly scheduled programming... because I know you have been beside yourselves with worry that I would not remember to get back on topic. As an adult (or whatever it is I am), I found that autumn is, usually, my favourite season. At least until we get into darker, damper November, that is. I like autumn because routines return and the stinkin’ humidity disappears and the leaves are pretty and the asters come out and the juncos visit. When I was younger, summer was the best. I remember saying to someone once that I don’t remember the summers being as hot and sticky back then as they are now, but then it dawned on me I spent most of the season running around in a bathing suit and swimming or running through sprinklers. No wonder. This year, though, is a bit different. As the temperature started to dip a few weeks back, I started to shiver. I don’t think I have adequately warmed up from that ridiculously long, cold winter we had in 2014/2015. I wouldn’t mind a little more summer, please. Interestingly, Mother Nature may have a bit of a reprieve for us this year...although it could be a bit of a be-careful-what-you-wish-for kind of thing. Environment Canada is predicting the winter of 2015/2016 will be milder and shorter than last year. (Digression: I need to qualify all of this by saying I really have little patience for weather predictions. I have been fooled more than a few times. When people say to me, “The longrange forecast is showing a week from Tuesday is going to be sunny with a high of 23 degrees,” it’s all “blah blah blah” to me. Weather changes every few minutes around here, so even broad, sweeping “milder and shorter”-
Past Deadline
STEPHANIE GRAY
type statements are, in my opinion, silly. We get what we get and we are allowed to get upset because we are Canadian and we complain about the weather. End rant. Thank you.) Anyway, Environment Canada (and several other sources) are saying this is an El Nino year, which means warm water in the Pacific Ocean near the equator may cause warmer and drier conditions in North America. I will admit I won’t be sad if there are fewer polar vortexes this year and perhaps a decrease in the number of days exceeding minus one-hundredand-stupid with the wind chill. Usually I don’t mind winter too much. I like snow. It can be fun to play in. Last year’s biting cold is unappealing, however. As I get older (which is just so much fun), I find my extremities have a nasty new habit of turning to ice almost instantly. Probably I should ask someone knowledgeable about this little freakish phenomenon. Or, maybe, it’s that “older” thing and I should just wear extra socks. It always comes back to socks. Anyway, let’s just go along with Environment Canada and everyone else for a minute and believe this winter may be milder and shorter. You do realize “milder” in eastern Ontario sometimes means “Ice Storm of the Century,” right? Although the Great Ice Storm was a bonding- and community-building experience in 1998, I’m not sure I’m ready to repeat it just yet. Sort of like how I’m still not anxious to do another polar bear plunge – but times 100. We may be okay, though, if what Environment Canada says is true. The experts are suggesting Ontario and Quebec will have temperatures that are closer to average...which means NOT minus one- hundred-and-stupid like last year. I’ll take it. If Mother Nature is accepting requests, I’d like to order a regular winter with a medium amount of snow, hold the freezing rain. Oh, and hold the wind chill, too. Please. Thank you. (It’s important to be polite in Canada, even about the weather.)

Vacation is never long enough
fter three weeks of vacation, I’m back in the saddle. Not sure how long I can sit in it though. These past few weeks have been nothing short of painful. Sciatic nerve issues have dragged me under. My guy and I had planned to drive to Newfoundland. We were scheduled for a three-week road trip that we’d been looking forward to for over a year. It was not meant to be as he and I both were stricken with the debilitating nerve pain. Not too conducive to extensive road trips. He’s been having a go of it for about six months, finding minimal relief from prescription pain medications and anti-inflammatory drugs. I decided to go another route – chiropractic care, and a shot of intensive massage therapy, with an OTC medication. It’s getting there, slowly but surely, I hope to be back to normal (whatever that is) soon.

There were some absolutely amazing fall colours to be seen and we did manage to take in a bit of a road trip through Algonquin Park on our way to North Bay, Sudbury and Manitoulin Island. We didn’t get there too quickly though, as we had to stop about 1,000 times along the way – just to alleviate some of the leg pain. Ugh. Waterfall hunting is a passion of mine, and we found a couple: Onaping Falls near Sudbury, and Bridal Veil Falls on Manitoulin Island – complete with spawning salmon. That was something to see. In another lifetime, I turned down an opportunity to work at a community newspaper in Little Current, Manitoulin Fall colours If you had a chance to take in the Island. I was glad we were able to check changing of the seasons on a little drive, out that area… and I’m also glad I chose you weren’t disappointed this year. to stay put.

Blue Jays fever pitch I was ecstatic to be off for the past three weeks. I fermented in front of the television, ensconced in my Toronto Blue Jays garb while watching some post season action. I became a believer in this team again after many years of coming up short. (A familiar feeling for Leafs’ fans, too.) In August I ordered a hoodie. As luck would have it, three arrived. At first I was peeved at myself for not checking my order before submitting it, but then I realized I could hold off on laundry just a little bit longer. I just wish the boys could have held off those pesky Royals. Good luck to KC in the World Series. It’s Toronto’s turn on the October dance floor in 2016. See COLUMN page P9

What a gem: jeweller lends a hand Breast cancer fundraiser a Shambles John Gemmell is a caregiver for a resident living at Lanark Lodge here in Perth. Recently, the resident’s doctor recommended removing rings from her finger due to a swelling concern. Although these rings have been on her finger for 60 years, the resident agreed to go ahead. Gemmell contacted local jeweller, Tom Burns of Burns Jewellers, outlining the resident’s conundrum, and Burns provided Gemmell with a ring cutter and instructions on how to remove her rings. Although Gemmell made some progress, he didn’t manage to get the rings off her finger. Gemmell went back to Burns with his tale of woe, and Burns said he’d pop over to the Lodge after his shop closed for the evening. Over he went, and he removed the rings. He’ll re-size them when the swelling reduces and he also noticed a small diamond missing, which he’ll also replace. When Gemmell offered to settle up, Burns shook his head and called it is mission of mercy. Now that’s good living.

What’s your favourite Perth-and-area-based art piece? I was standing by the CATHY JAMES cash at the East Meets West Restaurant last weekend, when I looked up and spotted Craig Campbell’s art piece, depicting the Perkins Building from the Good Ol’ Days. It’s moving to see a captured memory from our town’s story, and it got me thinking about all the art that’s been created based on the area’s landscape, people and history. I’m a Frank Van Oort fan and, one day, his “Perth Rooftops” painting will be on display in my house. But now I want to hear from you: what’s your favourite Perth-and-area-related art piece, and why? Helping the Homeless with The Sock Box Christian Allan appreciates a good pair of socks. So when she heard that one of the hardest accessories to acquire for the homeless are socks, she came up with a simple, yet amazing, idea. She launched a sock drive. She put a storage container on her front porch in Perth, and called it The Sock Box. The Box is there for anyone to drop off a pair of new socks, which Allan will donate to local shelters and/or agencies that serve the local homeless. After just six days in, 232 pairs of socks were donated. If you wish to contribute to Allan’s Sock Drive, you can mail her the socks to The Sock Box, c/o Christian Allan, 8 Burchell Blvd., Perth, Ontario, K7H 1E3. You can also drop off a pair on her porch at the same address. The donation deadline is Nov. 7.

New addition meltdown We have debated adding a pooch to our household of four – which includes two cats right now – and were all set to get our little bundle of joy on Saturday. We had gone looking at the litter of puppies in August when the seven babies were just a week old. A handshake and a promise were enough to hold the runt of the litter (since my guy knew the fellow, albeit casually), we said we’d be back to pick her up at the eight-week mark. They were fine with the arrangement. Saturday morning, I went into Perth to my favourite pet store, and Laura Jane was helpful getting me set up for the wee babe. That afternoon, we drove about 20 minutes away
to get the puppy, but no one was home. Leaving a note on their door, we trusted they’d be in touch. We did a return trip on Sunday. A van was parked in the driveway, and we could hear the dogs barking. No one answered the door. They never did call us. I sent her emails – still no response. The least they could have done was let us know what was going on with the puppies. It’s been four days – still nothing from the dog owners. All I can say is beware of backyard breeders who are out to make a buck. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Who can get a Labrador retriever for $300 these days? Especially when the dad looked more like a hound dog than a Lab. In hindsight, it was probably a good thing – there is a puppy in a local shelter who is waiting patiently for us to find her.

The Shambles and Lanark’s own queen of easy listening Theresa Scott played for breast cancer on Saturday, Oct. 24. The fundraiser, which benefitted the Canadian Cancer Society, was held at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 224 in Perth. Festivities included a silent auction, door prizes, complimentary snacks and light refreshments and more. Above, breast cancer survivors Barb Armstrong, left, and Diane Gunning greeted partygoers at the door, handing out pink ribbons. One in nine Canadian women will develop breast cancer; however, today the five-year survival rate is 88 per cent, compared to 73 per cent in the 1980s.
PERTH-UPON-TAY BRANCH 244 THE ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION
POPPY CAMPAIGN (2015) Branch 244 of The Royal Canadian Legion is currently organizing the Annual Poppy and Remembrance Campaign which is scheduled to begin on Friday October 2015. For the convenience of the residents of Perth and the neighbouring Community, and with the kind cooperation of the local merchants and store owners, Poppy countertop boxes will be placed in the establishments throughout the Town. Additionally, representatives of the 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 fund raising for the Poppy Fund. Legion volunteers will be identified by means of a “volunteer ribbon” affixed to the coat lapel. It must be remembered that such volunteers are not selling the poppies but merely distributing them, and if people are inclined to make a donation, then their generosity will be much appreciated. These funds are used in support of our Veterans and dependents, and the provision of bursaries to qualified students who go on to higher education facilities after graduation from High School. Sign-up sheeets are located in Branch 244 Lounge for volunteers to select the place, date and time, of their own choice, for their post selection. Information, if desired, may be obtained daily from the Branch Office 613-267-4400, the Branch Lounge 613267-1148, OR Poppy Campaign Chair (who will be present daily in the Poppy room in the Branch). At this time of the year, Remembrance of the fallen and the reason for their sacrifice, should be paramount in our thoughts.
“In comradeship, not for self, but for others” 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 Memoriam eorum retinibimus INSIDE R0013528070/1029

Kind people found in Perth
DEAR EDITOR:
Last Friday I was escorting my elderly friend to lunch at a restaurant on Gore Street when she twisted her ankle on an uneven part of the sidewalk and fell. Three people ran, from different directions to help us. A middle aged woman, the gentleman who is chef at East Meets West Restaurant (not the restaurant we were going to I am afraid!) and a young man of approximately 15 or 16 years old. The lady and gentleman helped pick my friend up, while the teenager picked up my wallet, which I had dropped in the moment, and returned it to me. I want to thank them all for their kindness as well as a woman in her car who stopped to see if we needed a lift. All different ages and backgrounds and one thing they had in common was helping someone in need. I want them to know my friend is fine, she got her soup for lunch and she said, “Like I’ve always said, Perth has the kindest people!”
Thanks Debbie Lafleur Perth

Concerned Christian criticizes creationist road show story DEAR EDITOR:
Re: “Creationist road show presents controversial theory to students,” Smiths Falls Record News, Oct 22. I have to wonder why your paper bothers to report when a Christian speaker comes to town. The title was the first giveaway that this topic had already been decided. I thought journalism was supposed to present a story in an unbiased way and let the reader decide? It shows a picture of the speaker with a toy dinosaur saying he “uses a toy model Tyrannosaurus Rex during his presentation” implying he’s not using “real” science but “childish” science? The article begins with saying, “Olsthoorn, a licensed aircraft maintenance engineer... is certainly not a devotee of prevailing scientific thought.” We can see that Gus Olsthoorn is not without some significant education and experience. But because he is not a “devotee of prevailing scientific thought” he is somehow not part of the “team”? Since when
is “prevailing scientific thought” scientific? In a day and age when kids are all told, “you can do whatever you want, you can do whatever you believe”, but as long as it’s not about creationism? Just because “everyone’s doing it”, doesn’t make it right does it? Look throughout history when this idea of ‘prevailing thought’ was NOT very scientific. E.g. Victorian times when everyone thought an 18-inch waist was ideal, including removing ribs. The article continues to belittle Gus the speaker, and ends with, what I feel, is a clever maligning of Tom Bourne the school’s principle quoting him as saying, “today we got some light shone on us about science. I know I learned some things.” If you think Christians are so old fashioned, unscientific in our beliefs why not just leave us out of your paper instead?

Overflowing with blessings of welcome to our new hometown Rev. Ken Davis
At one month and counting, our family might be able to lay claim to be the greenest Perth/Lanark citizens you might meet at the market (is it still on this week?), at the hair cutter’s or in a Perth church on a Sunday. You will be able to tell we’re green (and not just because we are Roughriders fans) when you speak to any member of the Davis family. And with all that freshness, that new Perthite smell, comes at least two significant observations. The first thing we can speak about is how blessed we have been in coming here. Our new town is beautiful - especially with the explosion of colours these last few weeks. There is so much here to enjoy and celebrate:
Churches and caring ministries and community groups, friendly and generous people, waterways, cycling roads and nearby forests and villages, maple syrup, art, creativity, farmers and craftspeople and history and coffee shops and restaurants and theatres and on and on. Since we arrived at St. James and St. Augustine’s Anglican Churches and in the Town of Perth we have been personally welcomed in so many touching ways. It is impossible not to swell with gratitude and say things to long time locals that make them feel even more proud of this community. (We are not buttering anyone up, we really mean it!) Our second observation is borne of the myriad of interprovincial transitional new-
comer tasks, registrations and requirements. That is to say we have been going through: telephone/ internet/cable set-up, drive clean and e-tests for our cars – followed by temporary driver’s license registration (in Smiths Falls), insurance purchasing, vehicle registration, health card applications (Kingston) and we have yet to find doctors, dentists, and some of the other family resources that we will soon need. Did I mention we have been here only one month? We have done all these things knowing who to ask, what to do and when it needs to be done by because we are
from Ontario originally. (About the only thing that has really changed here is the Blue Jays winning streak, which ended at the hands of the Kansas City Royals on Friday, Oct. 23 in Game 6 of the ALCS.) I write about all this in my first Perth Courier article because as we settle into our new home/town/faith community, it’s hard not to connect our recent experiences with some people half a world away who are asking and praying for a new home in Canada. In our faith tradition we have clear directions from Our Lord about the arrival of those on long arduous journeys, strangers in
our midst or the One looking for a place to lay his head. I know this translates into a passion, among many of our new neighbours and fellow Christians in our new home, to want to do something about the “refugee crisis” in our world. This is not news and the need and the Christian mandate is not new. But as we begin to come together as a community and begin the challenging mission of sponsoring refugee families to come to Perth, consider what your newest arrivals just went through. The welcome. The wealth. The work. Perth and Lanark know how to
welcome. We are overflowing with blessings and have so much to offer those who would be happy simply not to be shot at or taken advantage of. And they will need our help. After what my family and I have done in our first month with the help of our parish family and others – all those newcomer transitional tasks – imagine what it will be like for someone who has never lived or seen or imagined life in this part of the world. It’s a tall order, but from what we have seen, this community can do it. Rev. Ken Davis is with St. James Anglican Church in Perth.

KINCH, Rheta Elizabeth November 1, 2007 In memory of a loving Mother, Mother-in-law, Grandmother and Great Grandmother. Our Mother is always with us She’s the whisper of the leaves as we walk down the street She’s the smell of certain foods we remember, flowers we pick, the fragrances of life itself. She’s the cool hand on our brow when we are not feeling well. She’s the breath in the air on a cold winter’s day She is the sound of the rain that lulls us to sleep, the colours of a rainbow, she is Christmas morning. Our mother lives inside our laughter. She’s the place we came from, our first home, and she’s the map we follow with every step we take. She’s our first love, our first friend, but nothing on earth can separate us not time, not space, not even death. Love you Mom Marilyn Terry and Sherry Brian and Marion and families

Wild Bird Care Centre helping make future brighter for injured birds Gretta Bradley
Most of us can identify with what the Wild Bird Care Centre in Ottawa does. As children, however misguided, we followed a powerful need to help a defenseless creature. Running into the house, we offered up the small life to our parents, carefully cradling it in our cupped hands. We marveled at it as it lay under a lamp in a bed of tissues. We would hope beyond hope that this time the bald pink bird would still be alive in the morning. The outcome was always the same. Without proper care, the tiny thing would not survive the night. Fortunately, treatment is much more sophisticated than AUCTIONS
that which can be found in a Kleenex box and the prognosis for injured birds is much brighter. The Wild Bird Centre was the obvious choice for the inaugural talk of the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) 2015-2016 speaker series, “Naturally Special Places” at Almonte United Church Sept. 17. Patty McLaughlin is one of those fortunate individuals who has taken a passion and made it her life’s work. She is well known to the younger members of the Field Naturalists as the guiding force behind the Young Naturalists. This evening she would speak about her work rehabilitating and releasing wild birds. The audience responded to Patty’s

sense of humour as she introduced us to the unique cast of characters that inhabit the enclosures at the centre. The Eastern Screech Owl, prominently displayed on our MVFN promotional literature, belied its ‘owly’ cuteness. Described as the Houdini of the avian crowd, it is known among those who work with our cagy friends, for pulling maddeningly, puzzling escapes. Although clever escape artists, fortunately for staff their destination is usually predictable. My romantic notion of tenderly, nurturing a baby bird back to health, veered dramatically off script as Patty played video of springtime at the Wild Bird Care Centre. Images of hungry, demanding chicks are expected, but the noise! Nails being dragged down a blackboard at high velocity and maximum volume
doesn’t quite capture it. It struck me that they were not particularly grateful creatures, clambering to be fed every 20 minutes. The average number of times an American Robin has to be hand fed until it is released is 1,350 times. Patty joked as she shared her release-day video ‘fails’ with the audience. She apologized as, instead of birds soaring into the treetops looking back only briefly as they took to the sky once again after months of confinement, they flopped to the ground not quite knowing what to do with their newfound freedom. Bird rehabilitation is not a DIY project. It is, in fact, illegal without proper authorization. The Wild Bird Care Centre operates under permits from both the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Canadian Wildlife Service. If you should find a distressed bird, visit

Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society AGM set for Nov. 4 Yvonne Helwig
Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society’s Nov. 4 meeting will feature local entrepreneur Elizabeth Otonicar, of Creative Gardens Landscape and Design in Westport. Elizabeth will demonstrate how to create exterior winter decorative arrangements using such local fall harvest items as hydrangeas, cattails, and grasses, as well as sprays from such local conifers as white and red pine, balsam and cedar. As Elizabeth puts it, these arrangements will showcase what Mother Nature gives us. Having recently taken over the site of the former Westport Rentals, Elizabeth will be opening a Christmas shop there Nov. 7. The shop will offer a wide variety of Christmas decorations, including
poinsettias, bows and cedar roping. A big fan of Christmas, Elizabeth says she could do it 365 days a year. However, the shop will close in January, re-open for Valentine’s Day and Easter and then open in April as a full garden centre offering trees, shrubs, perennials, mulches, compost and aggregates. The shop will also carry Bahco, a Swedish variety of pruners and Dramm watering systems. The idea behind the shop will be to provide everything a gardener needs in one location. A Red Seal certified chef, Elizabeth worked as an executive sous-chef in various locations in southwest Ontario before returning to Lambton College to study horticulture in 2003. Since graduating, she has worked at Pelee Island
Winery and Gemmells in Smiths Falls. Then she fell in love with Westport and established a business there that allows her to create beauty with stone – granite being her favourite. The society’s Nov. 4 meeting is also its Annual General Meeting. This year, the society will be voting on its new constitution and bylaws, as well as confirming its board of directors. The society is currently conducting a survey to determine interest in an edible tree planting and revitalization program. Questionnaires will arrive soon in area households through the mail and completed questionnaires can be dropped off at the township office in Chantry, or local branches of the Rideau Lakes Public Library. The questionnaire is also available online on the society’s website.

Highland Hunt tests skills, raises $3,500 for PEP Dozens of participants took to the hills in Lanark Highlands on Saturday. Oct. 3 to test their skills during the third annual Highlands Hunt benefiting the Perth Enrichment Program. The event was an afternoon scavenger hunt on 200 acres, where participating teams completed a task at five hidden stations – such as zip lining, crossing a log bridge, hitting a target with a slingshot and more – before making their way back to the start. The catch? Teams did this while remaining hidden from several people on horseback patrolling the grounds. Prizes were awarded to the first and last teams to complete the challenge. Funds raised from the annual event totaled $3,500 this year, with 120 people taking part. Money benefits the Perth Enrichment Program. Above, Connor Rintoul runs down the final stretches of an obstacle course inside an inflatable ball before the start of the event.

The Royal Canadian Legion was founded with a number of Purposes and Objects. As would be expected, some of these testaments address the need to preserve the memory of those who gave their life in the seervice of Canada. 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 of members of their seervice, 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 continues, and this task can only be accomplished if everyone, especially children, has 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 who were killed. The poppy is worn to remind us of the many people whogave up their lives in the fields where the 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 killeld are not forgotten. On Remembrance Day when everyone wears a poppy and stands in silence, it is like saying “Thank You” to whose wo 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 is regarded as the “flower of peace” to serve as a reminder that our furture depends on a peaceful world. The purpose of the poppy is not enough to simply remember those who paid the supreme sacrifice. The Tradiion of Remembrance is a combination of respect and honour for those who ssrved, 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 coordiinated national appeal made for funds. It is the only activity where all members are expected to fulfill a commitment to participate. For the year 2015, the Poppy Campaign officially commences on Friday October 30. 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 counter-top Poppy Boxes to the various local establishments and stores on October 30th, as a means of offering the public with 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 other volunteer participants, will be at selected sites througout the Town during a 12 -day period which ends with the Remembrance Day parade on November 11th. The Funds accumulated are considered public funds, which are iintended 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, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of qualified ex-service personnel, and for the promotion of youth education with respect to the competition for poems, essays and posters in the local schools. Our motivation is simple – John McCrae’s famous words: “To you from failing hands we throw the torch, Be yours to hold it 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” R0013528016/1029

Days of Yore … From The Perth Courier dated July 20, 1950: “A pretty wedding ceremony was held in the garden of Eric H. Devlin recently, when his sister, Helen Noreen, became the bride of F.L. Donald Evan Cameron, R.C.A.F. Mrs. Cameron’s parents are the late Mr. and Mrs. J.H. Devlin of Perth and the groom is the son of the late Dr. D.R. Cameron and Mrs. Cameron of Ottawa. Rev. W.R. Alp officiated at the ceremony, while the music for the occasion was provided by the bride’s cousin, Mrs. Franklin Boyd of Innisville. Orange blossoms were used as house decorations.”
Did you know? The Salvation Army, fondly known to veterans as the ‘Sally Ann’, began its work in Canada in 1882. When the Army came to Canada, there was much opposition to its methods from civic politicians and others, and Salvationists were sometimes beaten and jailed. The Army’s status in Canada solidified in 1909, when parliament passed an Act giving the organization legal standing. During World War I, the first Salvation Officer as a chaplain in the Canadian armed forces was appointed, and the five ambulances were donated to forces serving overseas. At the end of the war, military hostels were opened in many Canadian cities for returning soldiers. During World War II the Army accompanied Canada’s armed forces overseas not only as chaplains, but as the operators of Maple Leaf Clubs, providing rest and relaxation for the troops.

Members of Perth-upon-Tay Branch 244, plus any other interested persons, are invited to participate in the Poppy Campaign for the year 2015. It has been the custom in past years to have distribution posts in various stores within the Town of Perth. This is in addition to the locating of “poppy counter-top boxes” in the various stores throughout the Town. To this end, the distribution points will be manned by Legion representative volunteers in major stores, such as, Brownlee Metro on Wilson Street West, Barnabe’s Independent Grocer on Dufferin Street, the Giant Tiger Store on Dufferin Street, the LCBO outlet in the Dufferin Street Mall, and at the Beer Store on Wilson Street West. Volunteers will be identified by a “volunteer ribbon” affixed to their lapel. Arrangements may be finalized to permit Branch volunteers to be posted outside other outlets duriig the period of the Campaign. Branch members are requested to sign up in the Branch Lounge for two-hour shifts commencing at 10:00 a.m.daily during the period Friday 30 October to Tuesday 10 November inclusive. Poppy boxes with individual name(s) will be available for pickup in the Lounge the day prior to the time selected by the individual. On completion of the chosen time of duty, the poppy box should be returned to the Bar Steward in the Lounge who will place it in a secure place. Please remember that this worthy cause is a means to enable the distribution of poppies and, by so doing, commemorate the sacrifice that has been made in the past in world conflict, and which continues in these modern times in various places throughout the world.

Eternal Care Cremation offers affordable cremation

Jennifer Westendorp/METROLAND
Madelyn Piehl, the owner of Eternal Care Cremation, is a licensed funeral director
She is flexible too, in terms of meeting people’s needs. “People can come to my office or I can come to their homes,” said Piehl. Piehl has years of experience in the industry. She went through the Funeral Services Education Program at Humber College and did her internship at the oldest funeral home in Canada – Morse & Son in Niagara Falls (established 1826). “It was a really neat experience,” said Piehl. “They have kept a lot of their old tools and instruments; they even have the original horse-drawn hearse.” She explained while there, one of the funeral directors (licensed for approximately 60 years) told her to forget about embalming and specialize in cremation. “He told me if I wanted a future in this industry to stick with cremation,” said Piehl. Eternal Care is heading into its second year of business, with the hope of expansion in the future. “In my line of business, I don’t tell people what they want, I do what they want,” said Piehl. “If they want embalming and an open casket, I can offer excellent references.” She said her favourite thing about operating Eternal Care is meeting different families and helping them in their time of mourning. She said the CPP Death Benefit only covers up to a maximum of $2,500 and she has always strived to stay within those financial borders. “The way I look at it, if you’re choosing the bare minimum, you shouldn’t be out of pocket,” said Piehl. “I thought if $2,500 is the maximum, then why not keep the costs within that?” Eternal Care is based out of Elizabethtown-Kitley, at 3515 Coons Road, Unit 2. For more information, call Piehl at 613-246-5933 or visit www.eternalcare.ca. She will be hosting a free seminar, titled ‘Eternal Care: Final Milestone,’ at the North Grenville Public Library on Oct. 15, from 6 to 7 p.m. The seminar will also feature local guest speakers. Piehl will be hosting a seminar at St. Lawrence College in Brockville on Oct. 29 as well. Eternal Care Cremation was the Rookie Business of the Year co-recipient for Elizabethtown-Kitley on Oct. 8.

Arranging for a funeral is a difficult process. The last thing someone needs to worry about while making final arrangements for a loved one is the cost. Madelyn Piehl, owner of Eternal Care Cremation and licensed funeral director, offers an affordable alternative to traditional funeral home services. “If you want simple, straightforward funeral services, that’s what I do,” explained Piehl. “I don’t do embalming or open caskets.” She explained the Eternal Care process is simple, from start to finish. “You call us up, we bring the person who has passed into our care,” said Piehl. “We bring them straight to the crematorium. There’s a choice for cremation – either flame based or bio-cremation.” She explained bio-cremation is a relatively new concept in Canada, with only a handful of facilities in Canada. The bio-crematorium used by Eternal Care is Hilton’s Unforgettable Tails in Smiths Falls – the only facility of its kind in Ontario. “It’s also referred to as aquamation,” said Piehl. “It’s a water based cremation process, containing water, potash and saline. The thing I like about bio-cremation is there is no emissions; no carbon footprint.” She explained her goal in opening Eternal Care was to provide people with an affordable alternative to funerals. “If people were to seek the services I offer through a funeral home, it would be much more expensive,” said Piehl. She explained the population of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville is aging and there is a need for affordable options in the area. “It’s good to provide a choice for people, who are just looking for something simple,” said Piehl. She explained the base cost of a funeral through a funeral home is roughly $10,000. Through Eternal Care, the base cost is about $2,000. “That price includes everything; the transport for your loved one, all the professional services and paperwork, such as death certificates and registration, the cremation and the urn,” said Piehl. She said there is a complimentary bio-urn provided, if people chose that option. It biodegrades in seven years. She also goes one step further with her services by helping people deal with the mounds of paperwork following a death – applying for the CPP Death Benefit, closing accounts, cancelling passports – all the minor details that need to be attended to. “If someone dies without a will, there is a whole process the family has to go through to become executor of their estate; things like that,” said Piehl. “The amount of paperwork can be overwhelming for people who haven’t done it before. I have experience. I don’t care how long it takes – I’ve spent hours with some people, sorting everything out.”

The Worst Place to Carry A Cell Phone Could smart phones be slowly killing us? Some experts feel we’re living in an Alice-in-Wonderland world if we ignore radiation from these electronic devices. So today, here’s an example of what can go wrong. The Environmental Health Trust’s Newsletter reports an unusual case. A young woman, with no predisposing risk factors for cancer, made a practical decision. She decided to carry her cell phone in her bra. Today with so many cell phones being Dr. Gifford-Jones snatched from people, I give her top marks for ingenuity and increased security. Unfortunately, she developed breast cancer. But what shocked doctors was that the pattern of the cancer lined up perfectly with the shape of the cell phone. This single case does not prove that radiation caused the malignancy. But if I were a woman I would not push my luck. I’d sure choose another location to carry my cell phone. So how serious is this problem? Experts on radiation have warned us for years about “dirty electricity” from cell phones and other electrical appliances. Our homes were originally powered by clean electricity, using a safe frequency of 60 Hertz (Hz). Now, transformers convert 60 Hz to low voltage power for electronic devices. This creates micro surges of electricity that contain up to 2,500 times the energy of a conventional 60 Hz electrical system. In effect, we are subjecting ourselves to dangerous electrical pollution. Dr. Devra Davis, author of the book, “The Secret History of the War On Cancer”, says that cell phone radiation is not only dangerous, but can be lethal. She claims that the biological impact of cell phones is not related to power, but to the erratic nature of the signal which has an adverse affect on DNA repair. In May 2010, the World Health Association (WHO), released a 10 year study into cell phone use and cancer rates. WHO recognized a significant correlation between brain cancer and those who used their cell phone, wireless home phone or WIFI for more than 30 minutes daily. Since everyone, including children, will continue to use cell phones, what can be done to decrease the risk? We can all practice what in Europe is called the “Precautionary Principle” which means using old-fashioned horse sense. Children are at particular risk since they have thinner skull bones making it easier for cell phone radiation to penetrate deeper into the mid brain. They also face a lifetime exposure which places them at greater risk for parotid and deeper brain tumours. Ideally, children should avoid the electromagnetic radiation of cell phones, or use them only for an emergency. Parents should also stop the dangerous habit of allowing children to sleep with cell phones under their pillows, subjecting them to radiation for hours at close quarters. Everyone should turn off cell phones not in use and use the speaker on the phone to keep it away from their ears. Being held just a short distance away can decrease radiation exposure from 1,000 to 10,000 times. Remember that texting with a phone exposes a person to the same amount of radiation as talking on the phone. So use cell phones like porcupines make love, very, very carefully, as it will take years to know the full extent of the danger. This means bras are for breasts, not phones. It’s also prudent not to place a cell phone in a shirt pocket over the heart. And if men want to decrease their sperm count, place it in pants pockets. For years I’ve warned readers about the potential dangers of excessive exposure to X-rays and CT scans. For example, a CT scan of the abdomen produces 500 times more radiation than a single chest X-ray and 1,000 more times than a dental X-ray or bone mineral density test. This is why I’ve urged the government to issue radiation cards so that each person knows their total radiation exposure. I’m also convinced we cannot ignore the danger of electromagnetic radiation from smart phones. It’s the old story of “Caveat emptor”, let the buyer beware. R0053477900_1029
St. John’s Parish, high school to step up to the plate for Syrian refugees

Community Alliance for Refugee Resettlement formed
The CARR is running so hop on board and let’s get moving! There have been so many tragic images emerging from the struggles for survival of the world’s four million refugees and these pictures have struck a chord with so many. For many it is no longer possible to sit and watch: doing nothing is not an option. The Perth & District Community Foundation got the wheels in motion last month by bringing together representatives of various service clubs, municipal governments and charities, as well as concerned citizens to see what could be done in our community. In less than one month a committee of community leaders representing residents of Perth, the Townships of Tay Valley, Lanark Highlands & Drummond North Elmsley was formed. Committee roles were defined, leaders were selected, a road map was determined, and the Community Alliance for Refugee Resettlement was established ~ The CARR was set in motion. With Ann Munroe and John Shideler in the driver’s seat as co-chairs and Gord Munroe as the vice chair The CARR is revving up to bring several refugees/ families to settle in our community. There appears to be no lack of interest, ability, or enthusiasm on this team and several members have already stepped up as Team Leaders and moved forward with
the sponsorship process. Several nearby communities have also taken on this task, have already had success with the process, and are now welcoming refugee families to their town. Since there is no need to recreate the wheel The CARR can tap into the experience of our neighbors and use the road maps that have already led to success. There are also a number of organizations that offer support to sponsorship groups like The CARR such as RSTP (The Refugee Sponsorship Training Program). There are several avenues for the private sponsorship of refugees and The CARR has determined that working with an existing Sponsorship Agreement Holder (SAH) is the most expeditious route to follow. Currently a subcommittee is investigating three options and will recommend the best fit for our situation at the next meeting. Once this partnership is established The CARR will select a refugee family to sponsor and a settlement plan will be established that will allow refugees to be sponsored and welcomed to our community. So the wheels are turning and The CARR is gearing up. Treasurer and webmaster Colin Stephenson has partnered with the communications team and has “The CARR” website up and running at www.TheCARR.ca. If you feel called to do something in the face of the current refugee
crises you can visit this website to donate and find out how you can volunteer. The Perth & District Community Foundation has generously set up a fund to support The CARR. They are providing tax receipts for all donations and are professionally managing the funds, which will be dedicated to the sponsorship of refugees as required. It takes around $30,000 to sponsor a family depending on the number of people. The CARR has set a goal to raise $100,000 by the end of this year in order to sponsor three refugee families. To be connected with a refugee family we must show that we have the funds available in our account and we have the people power behind it. This adds some urgency to our fundraising efforts and your donations will be put to use right away. Some of the teams that will need volunteers as we continue to move forward include fundraising, accommodations, healthcare, employment, settlement, and education. There is a complete list on the “Volunteer” page of the website where you can find more details and The CARR contact information. Please visit www.TheCARR. ca to find out how you can help to keep the CARR moving forward and make a difference during this world crisis.

The members of St. John the Baptist Catholic Parish and students and staff of St. John Catholic High School are putting their faith into action. Hundreds of thousands of Syrians, with little more than the clothes on their backs, are making desperate attempts to flee the war in their country and reach safety. With reports of unimaginable living conditions Syrian refugees have faced in the last two years as a result of civil war and more recently from attacks by terrorist organizations, the members of St. John’s Parish felt compelled to do something to help. In response to Pope Francis’ appeal as well as that of the Canadian Catholic Bishops, the parish came together and formulated a two-part plan to sponsor a Syrian refugee family in Perth, and to collect funds for refugees who are in desperate need, wintering in camps in the Middle East. The sponsorship of the family will be under the umbrella of the Blended Visa Office-Referred Program (BVOR), a cost-sharing program with the Canadian Government. The application will be facilitated by the Anglican Diocese of Ontario Office of Refugee Support (DOORS) in Kingston. The collection of funds for the urgent needs in refugee camps will be sent to the Catholic Near East Welfare Association (CNEWA) and the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace (CCODP). These funds will be matched dollar for dollar by the Canadian Government’s Syrian Emergency Relief Fund and sent directly to help the refugees.
For the parish of St. John the Baptist, this will be a significant undertaking, one requiring a commitment of financial and human support; and yet it will be an exciting opportunity to come together with schools, other churches and the community at large. Colin Fowler, Grade 12, said that on Friday Oct. 9 students and teachers from St. John Catholic High School gathered together at the ball diamond in Conlon Farm to help change the world. Grade 12 students from Mr. Hayes’ religion class banded together to organize the first “Step up to the Plate” baseball fundraiser with a team of Grade 12 students squaring off against the teachers. Hot dogs and drinks were sold and a 50/50 draw took place, with this year’s focus being the above-mentioned Syrian refugee crisis. The timing was good – the whole school caught Blue Jays fever and came together to raise $2,364 for the refugees. It was a very exciting game, but a hard hitting teacher team defeated their worthy student opponents 27-21. Overall it was a successful and fun-filled day. Many challenges remain to be faced in responding to the refugee crisis but carrying the efforts forward is the call from the Gospel: “For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me.” The members of St. John the Baptist Catholic Parish are responding to this call to action and invite anyone who wishes to participate to contact the parish office at stjohnperth@gmail. com or 613-267-1043.

ljweir@metroland.com
What a difference a season can make. Just ask the Perth Blue Wings. Bolting from last place to first is something that has been on coach Michael McLeanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind from the get-go. During the off-season, he and his coaching staff put together a team of players who love the gameâ&#x20AC;Ś and it shows. Just two months into this new CCHL2 league, the Blue Wings are sitting pretty at the top of the Richardson Division. Overall they have the best record with just one loss, accumulating 25 points on 12 wins â&#x20AC;&#x201C; two ahead of the dynamic Casselman Vikings, who are the leaders of the Martin Division with an 11-2 record. The Blue Wings momentum allowed
the team to collect three big wins last week, where they outscored their opponents 19-12. They posted wins over the Ottawa West Golden Knights, 8-5 on Oct. 22, the Stittsville Royals, 7-5, Oct. 23, and the Metcalfe Jets, 4-2, Oct. 25. McLean said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been their expectation this season to be a playoff team for the first time in two years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first and foremost. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We recruited â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;characterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first this summer.

But that hasn’t come without a lot of hard work and commitment from everyone involved – from the players to the fans. “We are winning because we practice hard, work hard in games and play with discipline - we are the second least penalized team in the entire league,” McLean said. “You cannot take penalties and win in hockey anymore.” It helps that this team is four-line strong with specialty team success reaching the 28 per cent mark on power play opportunities. “Our physical conditioning is also a factor - our guys are in great shape and we are a very strong team in the third period most nights,” McLean said. That’s where they are winning their games. He keeps them motivated with internal competitions for ice time. The better they play, the more they play, he said. Saying that, the six-point weekend was no easy accomplishment, especially against Ottawa West, Stittsville and Metcalfe, he said. “Our guys are enjoying playing our home games in Perth on Friday Nights in front of excellent crowds,” McLean said. “Support has been tremendous.” This week, the boys are away on Friday night as their only game of the week. They are in Winchester for an 8:15 p.m. start. McLean said he is not a fan of onegame weekends, “but we’ll adjust. I like our team to stay busy. I think the more we practice and play, the better.” The Blue Wings are at home again on Friday, Nov. 6 when they host the Clarence Beavers at 8 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 8 is also a home game, when they host the Westport Rideaus at 3 p.m. They are on the road to Casselman on Thursday, Nov. 12 for an 8 p.m. start.
the break with his marker assisted by McNamara and Adam Morton at 13:55. In the second, Metcalfe got one back with Eric Turner’s marker at 6:09 when he got by Perth’s Johnathan Peacock. Metcalfe picked up their second and final goal in the final period when Brayden Laidlaw scored in the final minute of the game. Perth sealed the win with McNamara’s shorthanded marker at 19:47, assisted by Mark Vanderzyde and Genest. In the win, Peacock turned away 22 shots. Anthony Salahor took the loss in relief for Nathan Peters. Just two minor penalties were called on both teams in this game.

Wednesday, Oct. 14 saw the return to the rinks for the Perth Curling Club Ladies League. There were several familiar faces in the crowd and a few new faces too, which is always important for the vibrancy of the club. A morning of curling was followed by coffee and camaraderie, so there’s no excuse for sitting home alone. The Wednesday morning league is only one of several opportunities throughout the season that are available to the ladies. If bonspiels are more your style, watch for the Bambi on Nov. 7, The Watson Cup on Feb. 6, or The Black and White Invitational on March 23. Additionally, mixed curling is also on offer, most days and evenings, so come on out and enjoy all the club has to offer.

Congratulations to the Perth and District Collegiate Institute senior girls’ basketball team on winning the St. Mary’s Crusaders ‘C’ Championship on the weekend. The Devils defeated St. Joseph Catholic School, South Grenville Giants and Holy Trinity Catholic School.
CHANGE YOUR CLOCK… CHANGE YOUR BATTERIES… CHECK YOUR ALARMS! Residents are reminded to set their clocks back one hour at 2:00 a.m. Sunday, November 1st, 2015. This is also a great time to check the batteries in all of your smoke alarms as there is no use in having alarms with flat batteries. Press the button on the front of your alarm and see if it beeps, if it doesn’t then it is time to replace the batteries. On October 15, 2014, the Ontario Government formally enacted a new law The Hawkins-Gignac Act - making carbon monoxide alarms mandatory in all Ontario homes at risk of Carbon Monoxide. Carbon Monoxide - Safety Tips to Protect Your Family: • For optimal protection, install additional CO alarms on every floor of the home. • Have a licenced technician inspect your fuel burning appliances annually, (eg. furnace, range, fireplace, water heater) to ensure they are in proper working order and vented correctly. • For families with older parents or relatives, it is wise to help them inspect their CO alarms. • CO alarms do not last forever. They need to be replaced every 7-10 years, depending on the brand. • If your alarm goes off get everyone out of the house, stay out and call 911! Exposure to CO reduces your ability to think clearly, so never delay if your alarm goes off and you sense a problem.
REMEMBRANCE DAY – MUNICIPAL OFFICE HOURS The Municipal Office will be closed on Wednesday, November 11th, in honour of Remembrance Day. The Township recognizes the sacrifice made by those who served their country and urges residents to attend one of the many ceremonies planned throughout the area… Lest we forget.
