Perth, Lanark prepare for Remembrance Day

A flurry of hands reach out for the ball in junior girls LCIAA basketball action Oct. 26 in Perth. The St. John Spartans hosted the Carleton Place Bears and continued their win streak with a 60-18 decision.

Perth’s cenotaph has gotten a thorough cleaning in time for this year’s Remembrance Day ceremony.

“It looks great, beautiful,” said Deputy Mayor John Gemmell during an interview in the Sunshine Room at town hall after the town council meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 24. “You can see all of the names.”

The cenotaph had become gradually covered with a layer of moss over the years, and Gemmell admitted, “I don’t think we noticed the moss over the years.”

But once the moss was pointed out, a call was put in to the Great War Memorial Hospital site of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital, which quickly got its maintenance crews on the job with a power washer.

The itinerary for this year’s ceremony, which will be held on Saturday, Nov. 11, will start with the parade mustering at the Royal Canadian Legion branch 244 at 26 Beckwith St. E., as the parade marches toward the cenotaph on Drummond Street.

While Perth always has a good turnout for the ceremony, remembering veterans and those who gave the eternal sacrifice, with this year’s Remembrance Day falling on a weekend, Gemmell, himself a naval veteran, said that he expects “a very good crowd,” one that is always “very supportive.”

As for the Lanark Legion 395’s celebrations, they will be taking place several days earlier, on Sunday, Nov. 5, from about 12:30 to 1:30 p.m.

The legion is located at 69 George St., and the cenotaph is located in front of the municipal offices next door.

Conference examines lasting impact of Protestant Reformation’s 500th anniversary by desmond devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

It makes for a great story.

And as powerful religious images go, the image of Martin Luther, an Augustinian monk at the University of Wittenberg, Germany, nailing his 95 theses to the door of Wittenberg’s Castle Church, on Oct. 31, 1517, is an endearing one – even if the story is, likely, apocryphal, like George Washington cutting down a cherry tree.

However, Luther did indeed write down 95 theses and sent them along to Archbishop Albert of Mainz (according to Matt Steinglass, writing in The Economist magazine), which essentially started the ball rolling.

But for Protestants the world over, that date still, for them, marks the 500th anniversary of the start of the Protestant Reformation, and the schism between Protestants and the

The painting “Martin Luther’s 95 Theses” (1872), oil on canvas, 85 x 72 cm, by Ferdinand Pauwels (1830-1904). While the story of Martin Luther nailing his 95 theses to the church door is likely a legend, Luther did compose this work, and it marks what many believe to be the start of the Protestant Reformation, and the start of the scism between the Roman Catholic church and Protestant churches, 500 years ago.

Locally, a “Reformation 500 Conference” was held at the Community Health Centre, 2 Gould St., in Smiths Falls, on Saturday, Oct. 28.

Rev. Kenneth MacDonald, of the Free Church of Scotland (Continuing), was one of the speakers that day, at the tail end of his six-week visit to Canada. He was due to return to the Scottish island of Lewis on the west coast on Halloween, and he reported the conference “went well,” with about 40 people in attendance, some from as

far away as upstate New York. “We were quite pleased with the turnout.”

MacDonald said that the “main thrust,” of his speech was about the “five solas,” guiding ideals of Protestantism: 1. Christ alone; 2. Faith alone; 3. Grace alone; 4. Glory to God alone; 5. Bible (scripture) alone.

“Luther was the beginning of our change,” MacDonald said during a telephone interview on the morning of Monday, Oct. 30. The church in Rome had been “abusing its privileges,” granting indulgences, which Joan Acocella, writing in this week’s edition The New Yorker, wrote was “a kind of late-medieval get-out-of-jail-free card used by the church to make money.”

She further explained that when “a Christian purchased an indulgence from the church, he obtained – for himself or whomever he was trying to benefit – reduction in the amount of time the person’s soul had to spend in Purgatory,” a place Christians believe that souls stay in a state of limbo after

death, not Hell, but not Heaven either.

When Luther visited Rome himself, the only time he left Germany, “he was very disappointed” with what he saw in the Eternal City, with its grand palaces, decadence, indulgence, and expensive art, and the corruption that went with it. “(There was) a lot of corruption,” he said, before adding that that “was not to say,” that there is not corruption to be found even today in Protestant churches.

(Purgatory itself is a concept contested by Protestants. Purgatory is not mentioned in the bible, according to Acocella.)

However, MacDonald noted that Luther’s break with the Catholic hierarchy was not total.

“He was, himself, a Catholic,” said MacDonald. “He held on to some of these,” beliefs, even after his break.

OH! Tourism Summit celebrates culture and community in Ontario’s Highlands More than 100 delegates gathered in front of the red curtain at The Village Playhouse in Bancroft on Oct. 23 for a community event unlike any other. OH! Tourism Summit, the Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization’s seventh annual Tourism Conference & AGM, packed the house that day, shaking up the traditional “conference vibe” and setting the stage for a unique program that placed tourism, community and culture in the limelight.

The day began with an official Land Acknowledgment and FourDirectional Ceremony in honour and respect of the land, plants, animals, stories and Indigenous Peoples of the unceded Bancroft region, which is located in the traditional territory of the Anishinaabeg.

Algonquin Elder, Ada Tinney, led the ceremony, along with Karen Moon Beam (Warner), acknowledging the ancestors and spirits of the territory and thanking Indigenous peoples for taking care of this land and for sharing it with newcomers and those who have the opportunity to work in this community. The ceremony also incorporated smudging, an offering of tobacco to Elder Ada, a drum song and an opening prayer.

“We are so honoured and grateful for such a special and important beginning to OH! Tourism Sum-

lands and waterways upon which we guide visitors. It allowed us to approach the rest of the day with an openness to explore possibility and learn from one another.”

The program included OHTO’s

Annual General Meeting, during which Whiting encouraged the Ontario’s Highlands tourism community to rally together to inspire new visitors to the region using the newly launched Come Wander brand platform, which she referred to as a regional “team jersey”. A keynote

by Chris Williams, vice-president of digital assets with the Association of Canadian Advertisers (ACA) outlined the secrets to making an impact on digital channels, such as focusing on only a few social channels at a time, and, in the afternoon, OHTO’s marketing manager and tourism development co-ordinator explained how to build a destination story from product to promotion.

In the afternoon, a group of business owners and tourism champions from across the region took part in a panel discussion. Speaking directly to their peers, who understand the specific challenges of a rural tourism landscape, the panelists discussed what drives them and offered real-life tips for turning their ideas into reality, such as community partnerships.

“If I don’t have a good reason for saying no, I usually say yes,” said Andre Rieux of Pakenham’s Cartwright Springs Brewery, who has collaborated on a dark dining event with 2 Grands Piano Bar and

The Hastings County Tourism Awards were a perfect ending to the day, recognizing the achievements of the local tourism community.

“It was wonderful to see many of our tourism operators – even those who live and work hours away from Hastings County – stay into the evening to applaud the hard work of their colleagues,” says Whiting.

Tweed and Company Theatre took home the award for Tourism Champion of the Year; the Municipality of Tweed’s Farm to Table: Canada 150 Community Dinner won Festival of the Year, and Nancy Hopkins of Country Roads Magazine was named MVP of the Year.

REFORMATION

From page 2

the clergy over the ordinary people.”

Before then, “the clergy were (seen as) special people, or (at a) higher level than ordinary people.” A priest’s hands, for example, were considered to be sacred ground, as they touched the communion wafer, which Catholics believe to be, through the concept of “transubstantiation” to become, during the mass, the literally body of Jesus Christ.

Once people no longer felt they needed the intercession of a priest, that gave many the feeling of “emancipation,” in other areas, said MacDonald. Before the reformation, “people were terrified of offending the church,” especially since the church was so intertwined with the state in so many aspects of civil life, like education.

There were other technological advances which were shaking things up too, such as the invention of Guttenburg’s press, which made the bible available to thousands of Christians.

“The bible became primer,” for many people, said MacDonald, since, at the time, it may well be the only book that a family would have at their home.

In an interesting parallel to Saint Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus, MacDonald himself started his working life as a carpenter, before coming a Christian in his 30s (though he said he was raised in a Christian home.) He spent five years in South Africa doing missionary work – which coincided with the release of Nelson Mandela from prison in February of 1990.

“It was an interesting experience,” said MacDonald of being in South Africa at that historic time, another time of upheaval, like the reformation.

“He (Mandela) could’ve caused a bloodbath,” said MacDonald, but, “he showed good restraint,” which speaks to his legacy.

MacDonald then returned to Scotland where he served as a minister before retiring last year.

R0013021901

Local voices The conference also heard speakers from closer to home as well, including Rev. Kevin Carter of Hope Presbyterian Church in Kingston.

When asked what impact the ref-

Kristine Geary’s

ormation continued to have 500 years later, Carter laughed and said, “that’s a huge question!” before answering that “in its immediate fashion, the reformed church is always reforming.”

Like MacDonald, Carter also asserted the “solas” points of Protestant theology (Christ alone, grace alone, et cetera), and, as Protestants, they are “always struggling to maintain a true biblical understanding.”

One of the immediate effects of the reformation was “stirring the church up,” as, many Protestants felt, that the Roman Catholic Church had “fell back into tradition.” Carter hastened to add that traditions are “not necessarily bad,” but that there have been times when the “church takes over in matters of faith.”

One example is transsubstantion, which Catholics are required to believe in, but Protestants do not, to varying degrees.

Anglicans, for example, still use communion, but as a tradition, while some Baptist churches will have a communion table, but more as a memorial.

Reconciliation There are many bible verses about reconciliation, such as Ephesians 2: 1422, where it is written that “In Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace, and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross.”

When asked about Protestants and Catholics reconciling in the future, Carter said that, for the “universal church…there are things that do connect us. We do find commonality.”

While Jesus is at the centre of the Christian faith, Carter said that differences between denominations grow greater when it comes to interpreting scripture. “We recognize that we are not going to be truly one until the Lord returns,” he said. “This side of Heaven, we will have our differences.”

After the reformation, with the power of the church in Rome diminished, there was also, according to Carter, “a clearer understanding of the differences between church and state,” he said, something that echoes into modern western civilization today. But, even there, he explained that God created three states: family, church, and state, and that “each one has a role within

Financial Problems?

society.” However, in the 500 years of the reformation, the idea of the “Lord’s sovereignty over society…has gone. We live in a more secular world.”

Another change brought about by the reformation has been “a greater worldwide zeal for evangelism,” where the bible was brought out from Europe to places like

Africa and Asia.

He stressed that evangelization differed from colonialism, but evangelization followed in its wake. Belief in Christianity is on the wane in some part of the world, and there may be a need for another “renaissance. It will take another revivalism…to bring a greater awareness of 1-866-384-0012 www.MapleLeafTours.com God.”

s much as it’s nice not to have to pay for a Drive Clean test these days, there’s still a lingering odour associated with the annual licence plate sticker renewal fee hikes with which Ontarians had to deal over the course of several years. Perhaps it can be argued that paying $120 for the privilege of operating a vehicle for one year is reasonable, and maybe we should be thankful there is no price hike this year or next.

We once again note the efficient service offered at the privately run Service Ontario outlet in downtown Prescott. And in fairness to the government, we acknowledge that the time it takes to actually renew a sticker in person has definitely decreased — assuming all of the information needed to complete the transaction is readily available, of course.

One of the customers who was in the short lineup when the outlet opened on Saturday morning observed that motorists are actually paying more for the privilege

of keeping their vehicles on the road. The drive clean fee of $30 plus tax is no longer paid by the vehicle owner every two years, but that is offset by the amounts by which the sticker renewals have increased.

We’ve stated it before and we’re going to mention it yet again: most Ontarians are willing to pay reasonable rates for goods and services and accept price hikes if and when they can be justified.

Many of us are unable to comprehend how hiking sticker renewals by $46 over a five-year period is fair. Unless the province can demonstrate that charging $74 in 2012 was woefully inadequate, the obvious conclusion that can be drawn is that the multiple increases add up to nothing more than a tax grab.

We can only hope that the extra revenue generated by driver and vehicle fee hikes is actually going for much-needed highway and infrastructure maintenance and improvements as the provincial government has indicated.

Father believed there was always a solution for everything It had been a hot summer.

Many times Mother said how grateful she was that Grampa had bought us a Barnett icebox.

Oak, it was. And it filled a whole corner in the kitchen. It meant we could keep our food from spoiling, and the ice it held from the ice house could be chipped and put into well water for a cold drink on a hot day.

But as summer turned into fall and the days got shorter, even though it was much colder, it was still a long time before the Bonnechere would be frozen and more ice brought into the ice house. And so it was that fall day, when Father said we had to be careful, or we would run out of ice before the winter set in.

The youngest of us were not allowed in the ice house in the

day was sunny and warm but with frosty nights, telling us soon we would be blocked in with drifts of snow and impassable roads, but cutting ice in the river still a long way off.

Mother, I knew, was wor-

hot summer, just in case we let in the heat. Everything was done to keep the big blocks frozen solid. The little black building was built on the north side of the barn to protect it as much as possible from the sun, and wagonload after wagonload of sawdust was dragged from the sawmill to cover the ice.

The big black tongs hung on a spike outside the building, and only Audrey or Father were the ones to bring a block into the icebox when needed. And now, Father said, it looked like we might run out of ice before the Bonnechere froze over.

Now, the block in the Barnett was allowed to melt until there was nothing to prove it had ever been there. My job was to emp-

ty the basin of water that piped down when the ice melted, and I was both glad and anxious when it now had to be done only every second day. Glad that I didn’t have to worry about the water filling the pan and spilling out on the floor through my neglect, but anxious, wondering where we would put our food when the ice house was empty.

And the fall dragged on. The leaves had turned, fallen, were raked up and burned. And each

Reader questions why MP singles out Bill C-45 in household mailout DEAR EDITOR:

As a resident of the federal riding of Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston, I recently received the householder mailing of our MP, Scott Reid, in which Mr. Reid asks his constituents to vote on Bill C-45 (The Cannabis Act) as a means of determining how he, himself, will then vote.

Reading. So why this referendum now? What is so notably pressing about the marijuana issue that Mr. Reid feels a need to be led by his constituents in terms of his vote, as opposed to any other issue? Surely there is more pressing public interest legislation that he might ask for his constituents to weigh in on (climate change-related, for example). And for that matter, why not hold a referendum to help prioritize the demonstra-

bly major issues, then ask for constituents to vote on every one?

Since first elected to the House of Commons in 2000, Mr. Reid has utilized “constituency referenda” six other times, on matters concerning (in order) endangered species, terrorism, same-sex marriage, abortion, assisted dying, and electoral reform. Three of those times, over 2001-2005, were when the Liberal Party held power, and the last two times were in 2016 with the Liberals again in power.

Which begs further questions: In the nearly 10-year period Mr. Reid’s Conservative party held power (2006-2015), why did he ask his constituents only once for their guidance on how he should vote (in that case, on the hot-button abortion issue)?

Is this technique something he likes to do while sitting with the Opposition, and something he was shy to do as a member of the governing party?

knew, as soon as our feet hit the floor, the nice fall days were over. It would just be a matter of time before winter would close in around us. But February, which was usually the month Father took ice from the river, was still months away.

I worried every day that we would run out of ice, our food would spoil and my entire family would either die of starvation or food poisoning. But Father didn’t seem to be that worried. He, as always, had a solution ... one that had been used on that farm for three generations.

Out in the summer kitchen

was an old table that held cans of paint, bits and pieces of wood, and other things which didn’t seem to have a home. Father moved it to the centre of the floor, took four empty tin cans, filled them with coal oil, and put one under each leg. Mother covered it with a worn piece of oilcloth, and that table became our “icebox.” Mother, whose concern was that a mouse would get onto our food, was assured by Father that no mouse could climb a table leg over a can of coal oil. And so leftovers were wrapped in wax paper, then in many layers of the Renfrew Mercury, and taken out to the summer kitchen, where they either froze or were kept

No longer did we have to worry about running out of ice from the ice house. There were still a few blocks left for chipping into a glass of well water, but the big oak Barnett lay idle, its shelves empty, but its big door left ajar to air out until once again, it would be filled with a block of ice from the Bonnechere. Father was right. If you use your head, there is a solution for just about everything.

Nov. 18 Snow Ball raises funds for Merrickville-Wolford food cupboard The Snow Ball, Nov. 18, at 7 p.m. at the Merrickville Community Centre is the first of three events being held by the hungertour for the upcoming Christmas season.

With twinkling lights and snowflakes hanging all around, the community centre will be transformed into a magical land of music and dance. It will be a night you won’t soon forget.

The artists’ high energy and originality all will leave you wanting more. Organizers have put together a mix of very talented local musician strung together in one amazing show. I can’t say enough about the talent you will find under one roof.

Please come out and support the local food cupboard in Merrickville-Wolford and bring a non-perishable food item if you wish. Make sure to be wearing you dancing shoes.

Last year’s show was sold out and this year’s lineup is even better, including Maria Hawkins (a.k.a. The

Blues Lady of Ottawa).

Maria reaches deep into her own experience of poverty and hardship to deliver vocals that are powerful, passion¬ate and authentic.

And it’s not just blues the lady sings; Maria mixes it up with elements of R&B, funk and soul.

All that, and a back-up band packed with virtuoso players driving the beat right to your feet!

Also performing is Anna Ludlow. Nothing makes the toes tap like a Cape Breton jig, and nobody spins one out with more joy or precision than Anna Ludlow.

Her love of Celtic-inspired music comes straight from the Nova Scotia heartland where she grew up and learned to play. Get ready for a high-energy performance filled with slick riffs, sweet songs, and a little step-dancing too!

Time to rock it out, people. Sophia Radisch is an award-winning, Ottawabased actress and musician who’s been writing and per-

forming since she was 13.

She uses a Gibson guitar and Marshall amps to produce a sound that is, at once, nostalgic and original, roughedged and sultry. Don’t miss this chance to see one of Canada’s most exciting upand-coming musical talents.

Last, but certainly not least, is Ali McCormick … a singer/songwriter with her feet firmly planted in familiar soil.

The “Lioness of Lanark” (so named for her thick mane of strawberry-blonde hair) brings that country feeling to the night’s musical menu.

Her songs are honest, earthy and beautifully crafted.

What a line-up! And only $30 per person. Tickets are available at Hungertour. com, the Village Bean Coffee Shop on St. Lawrence Street in Merrickville, and at the Merrickville Book Emporium.

Show time is from 7 p.m. to midnight, with all the proceeds going to the Merrickville Food Bank.

Event organizers Jacqui Stanzel, Julia Foley, Rebecca Nolan and Barbara Willoughby have put together a one-of-a-kind grande prize! The winning package will include the Econolodge Harbor room as the venue (as well as a room the night of wedding), a wedding cake (up to $300), the bride’s bouquet ($200), $500 event rentals, and $500 videography credit.

A fashion show is planned with models walking in and around the vendors.

Stanzel’s wide grin is present when she talks about the show and the long hours she and her partners have already put into organizing it — but she doesn’t regret a minute. “It’s good to have a big event in Smiths Falls. We want to show others what Smiths Falls and area people can do and offer,” she says. She admits the organizing is stressful, but loves every minute of “bringing all parts of a wedding to one event.”

Some show-goers will take what they’ve seen at the show, go home and create their own day; others will go all-out and make use of the vendors and ideas presented.

Jacqui, Rebecca, and Julia have “been in planning mode” since the last show.

Robert Louis Stevenson’s stay in Saranac Lake intriguing story the mountain town that currently bills itself as “The Adirondacks’ Coolest Place.” I doubt Stevenson or his family would dispute that claim either.

They spent the frosty winter of 188788 in Saranac Lake.

How the author of such literary classics as Treasure Island, Kidnapped and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde ended up in the remote mountains of upstate New York is well explained during a visit to the Robert Louis Stevenson Memorial Cottage in Saranac Lake. The Stevenson Society, based in the town, claims to own “the world’s finest collection of Stevenson lore.” The extensive collection is now housed in four of the seven rooms the author and his family rented from the Bakers, a prominent local family for whom the nearby Baker Mountain is named.

I’ve known about Stevenson’s connection to Saranac Lake and the museum devoted to his fascinating life for many years. It’s a place Kathleen and I had always meant to visit but something else inevitably got in the way.

Reflections

By Jeff maguire

Until two weeks ago, that is!

The museum is seasonal (July 1 to Columbus Day) but the website says it is open year-round by appointment.

We were on holiday, staying in nearby Lake Placid. I made a telephone appointment and on Oct. 20 we spent a delightful hour at the Stevenson cottage, guided by the live-in curator Michael Delahant. He’s a delightful chap and a fount of knowledge about Stevenson’s life in general and his winter in Saranac Lake in particular.

Delahant, his wife and their dog live in the section of the house not occupied by the museum. He has followed in the footsteps of his late grandfather and father, who were both curators of

the museum.

Not surprisingly, Delahant is also the head of the Stevenson society, whose tiny office is located on the second floor of the historic structure.

The oldest part of the residence was rented to Stevenson, his American-born wife Fanny, his mother, one of his stepsons and a servant. That section, which dates from 1855, is believed to be the oldest structure still standing in Saranac Lake.

We had the benefit of a personal tour and Delahant’s intimate knowledge of the subject matter meant we learned a great deal in 60 minutes.

Health problems The Edinburgh-born Stevenson inherited a tendency for coughs, breathing difficulties and fevers which, at the time, was referred to as “a weak chest.” Ill health dogged him throughout his life. He regularly travelled to warmer climes in France in an effort to recuperate. Stevenson and Fanny married in California in 1880, where he had also gone in search of better

health. Back in Scotland and England, he tried in vain to locate a place suitable to his delicate condition.

Eventually, the Stevensons settled in Bournemouth on England’s south coast.

Following the success of Jekyll and Hyde (released in January 1886), the writer’s reputation grew and his financial situation was also much improved. Stevenson decided to take his physician’s advice and find a completely different climate. In the fall of 1887, the family sailed for New York City, bound for the mountains of Colorado.

Delahant told us that by the time they arrived in New York, Stevenson was so sick that they sought a closer refuge. Saranac Lake and its pure mountain air were recommended.

They travelled there by train, arriving on Oct. 3, 1887.

He remained there until April 18, 1888, although his wife found it so cold in the winter that she visited the

My wife and I travel to the picturesque Adirondack Park in upstate New York once or twice annually. It doesn’t matter what time of year we choose because the mountains, lakes, rivers and ponds of the region are breathtaking all year round.

I could easily reverse that last thought and say “breathgiving” instead. That’s because the fresh, clean mountain air drew people to the Adirondacks for health reasons for many years.

If he was still with us, one famous person who would wholeheartedly support my thoughts about the fresh air in the Adirondacks is the late, great Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson.

Over the years, I have written about some of the many fascinating true-life stories that have emerged from what is perhaps the most desolate, but also the most beautiful, region in expansive New York state.

However, until now I have not outlined the intriguing story of Stevenson’s six-month stay in Saranac Lake,

It’s a season of premiere productions at Full Circle Theatre When Daniel Rover Singer’s A Perfect Likeness opened at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre just after Thanksgiving, it was the start of an entire season of premiere productions at “the little theatre that could.”

A Perfect Likeness was the Canadian premiere of Singer’s script and the production was acclaimed by playgoers as one of BDP’s best ever, with one reviewer summing up the amateur show with “This play would shine on the professional stage anywhere!”

But things move quickly in theatre.

A Perfect Likeness is gone and Perth’s original community theatre is now well into rehearsal for something totally different: Cinderella in the premiere of an all-new “English panto” style script.

BarnDoor Productions (BDP) doesn’t usually do children’s theatre, but there is a special reason for this one and the group will be offering special familyoriented prices and show-times, with an emphasis on matinee performances to allow parents to bring the little ones.

What is “panto”? Well, it’s a centuries-old English theatre tradition of

comic fairy-tales, usually performed around the Christmas holiday time. The jokes are broad, the pace is fast and men play women’s parts – while women play men’s. There is plenty of colour and music and fun for the kids, but also a lot of laughs for the adults, too. The costumes are wild and the show all about entertainment.

BDP’s cast of nine are “having a ball” (Get it? Cinderella’s Ball? No? Well, please yourselves.) as they throw themselves into the “panto” spirit. It’s big, it’s broad, it’s fast, it’s silly and it’s full of fun for anyone from three to 93.

From the mean stepsisters and stepmother (played by Ian Jenner, Brian Atterbury and Joe Laxton) to the Fairy Godmother (BDP newcomer Ashley Pitcher) to Cinderella herself (Miranda Wilson, in a role very different from her part in last summer’s Lysistrata), all of the fairy tale’s familiar characters are there, along with some “panto-only” characters, like Buttons, Cinderella’s best chum (Tyler Street, last seen on BDP’s stage in The Last Deadman in 2015).

So why is BDP doing a kids’ show like Cinderella? Because this premiere is the “front stage” part of the group’s February “backstage” murder-mystery farce, Panto Can Be Murder. Yup, it’s another premiere production and the audience can find out what was happening behind the scenes at December’s Cinderella panto – with the same real-life actors playing the make-believe actors who were playing the parts in Cinderella! It, too, is a fast-paced, uproariously funny show that gives a poke at backstage comedies, English murdermystery thrillers and panto, itself. And there’ll be special ticket prices for those who can produce their tickets to Cinderella.

Another Canadian premiere follows in April, Lauren Gundersen’s The Taming. Gundersen is fast gaining a reputation as one of the U.S.’ finest playwrights and The Taming is part of the reason. It pits American left and right against each other, in the form of three women trapped in a hotel room in Georgia. Where it goes from there is a whirlwind of politics (and big laughs)

that is as up-to-date as a Trump tweet.

The summer features a full slate of premieres of new adaptations. June will see the first production of a new twoact version of the most successful farce of all time. Charley’s Aunt, by Brandon Thomas, ran more than four years on its London premiere, when 30 performances was considered a smash hit – it outran The Importance of Being Earnest by three-and-a-half years! There is a theory that it has never been off the stage since its first production in 1892 – it has been running somewhere in the world ever since. BDP’s two-act version is tighter, faster and still as full of fun as the long-running original – just an hour shorter!

July is a premiere in a more limited sense. F.C. Burnand’s Box And Cox is a one-act play that is another longrunning, hilarious comedy from the 19th century. BarnDoor Productions is teaming it with its “unauthorized” sequel, Box And Cox, Married And Settled, by J.S. Coyne in what is, we believe, the first ever such pairing. We’re not sure why, because it seems a natural, but

the result is a full evening of big laughs that will keep the July heat at bay.

All of this is completed with the August premiere of another new adaptation of a hundred-year-old, possibly unproduced play. In 1917, H.F. Rubinstein and Clifford Bax wrote a speculative play about William Shakespeare’s life, based on what was then known about him – which was about ten things. BarnDoor’s new adaptation has expanded that play based on some of the thousands of things that we now know about him and created a new play entitled Willm Shaksper. That’s not a typo – it’s the way Shakespeare’s name is spelled in three of his existing six signatures. It’s a look at five episodes in the Bard’s life and how he may have developed as a man – not as a “bard.”

All of that is happening at the Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig Street, Perth, near Last Duel Park. Cinderella runs Dec. 1, 7 and 8 at 7:30 p.m. and Dec. 2, 9 and 10 at 2 p.m. For more information and to order tickets, visit www. barndoorproductions.ca or call 613267-1884.

The Continentals to perform Nov. 12 Remember that guy Dennis Staples? He’s headed for The Station Theatre Sunday, Nov. 12. He and his band The Continentals will be there for a shindig with all proceeds going to The Smiths Falls Food Bank.

The Continentals were formed in high school and have been together since 1964. The five original members were Guy Allard, Bill Bowes, Paul Hanrahan, Bob Milliken, and Staples. Bowes and Milliken have passed away and the two new members are Art Lee and Gary Edwards. They’ll be joined by Dave White on drums. Their genre is rock and roll, country, and blues.

Over the years they were the house band at Rideau Ferry in the mid-’60s, and they played high school dances, universities, concerts and hotels. The best thing about these guys (besides the music) is all the informal schmoozing that goes on between songs. Lots of good stories, lots of good memories, not only for the band but for the audience, too.

Tickets are $10, purchased at the door - first come, first seated. The show starts at 2 p.m.

Find the theatre at 53 Victoria Ave., Smiths Falls. Regular hours for the Station Theatre are Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to noon.

The most magical, marvelous musical event of the fall hits the Studio Theatre Here come indie women two productions’ The Marvelous Wonderettes! Check out Suzy (Courtney Mason) and Betty Jean (Lindsay Rewi), two of the Wonderettes, all dressed up and ready to perform at their school’s senior prom, a last-minute replacement for The Crooning Crabcakes from the boys’ glee club.

The lead Crabcake, Billy Ray, was kicked out of school for smoking out behind the girls’ locker room, so the Wonderettes got the call and are overthe-“Alleghany Moon” excited about getting their big break!

If this all sounds a bit old-fashioned, well, it is 1958 after all, which explains why Suzy and BJ are sitting in a 1956 pink and black Ford Crown Victoria waiting for their dates, Ritchie and Johnny, to whisk them away to the big event. Of course, Johnny had to borrow the car from his kindly neighbour, Bob Carruthers, who keeps the vehicle gorgeous and gleaming.

The Marvelous Wonderettes, Roger Bean’s original creation that eventually spawned four fantastic followup sequels by the same writer, is a candy-coated vintage ride into a past that many of us remember fondly by virtue of the pre-technology pace of life filled with a kind of innocence and gentleness our current times seems, at times, to lack. Suzy and Betty Jean, along with their Springfield High

The Marvelous Wonderettes opens Nov. 2 at Perth’s Studio Theatre. Time travel back to 1958 for the musical production, presented by indie women two productions, as a fundraiser for the Perth Youth Action Kommittee.

School Song Leader teammates (Go Chipmunks!), Cindy Lou and Missy, will make you smile, laugh, cry, sing and dance with the energy and enthusiasm (but maybe not the hips) of your youth.

The music, played live by a superaccomplished five-piece band and led by musical director Brad Mills, includes 35 of the greatest hits of the ‘50s and ‘60s. Act I is set in 1958 at the senior prom, while the second act

brings us ten years forward to 1968, when our four heroines are now young women. We get a front row peek at who they’ve become, how their lives have changed and how they’ve coped with the ups and downs. Each girl’s carefully crafted individual personality contributes to her unique storyline, told through both song and dialogue. The end result is a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon or evening of nostalgia, discovery and non-stop

entertainment. indie women two productions is extremely proud to present The Marvelous Wonderettes as a fundraiser for YAK (Youth Action Kommittee), Perth’s exceptional youth centre. You may know it best as the organization that runs The Stewart Park Festival’s annual duck race. But YAK is much more! It offers a free after school program for youth aged 10-18 from 3 to 7 p.m. Monday to Friday. Activities are

planned to suit a wide range of abilities and interests, with an emphasis on personal growth, physical activity, healthy eating, teamwork and fun.

The staff teams works – and plays – hard to ensure that programs are inclusive and fun, and that every youth who comes through the door feels safe, welcome and respected.

There will be many opportunities to contribute to YAK – all optional – aside from simply attending the show.

A wonderful silent auction will take place in the theatre lobby and prom cookies will be available for purchase by donation. If you come to the Saturday or Sunday matinee, you can get your photo taken with cast members in costume next to one of the vintage cars on display in the lot. Textile artist Lin Dickson’s popular Bags and Mitts from Bits will be back for purchase.

Great Christmas gifts and such a worthy cause!

The Perth premiere of this rocking, fun-filled “juke box musical” opens Thursday, Nov. 2 at Perth’s number one entertainment venue, Studio Theatre, and runs for five performances only: at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 2, 3 and 4, with matinees at 2 p.m. Nov. 4 and 5. Tickets are selling like hotcakes so don’t be disappointed! Get yours at www. ticketsplease.ca You can also purchase at the door but sell-outs are very possible, so best to order in advance.

Ridiculous plot, overacting make this film fun to watch MOVIE: Geostorm STARRING: Gerard Butler, Jim Sturgess, Abbie Cornish, Andy Garcia and Ed Harris DIRECTOR: Dean Devlin RATING: PG Geostorm is awful. I loved every minute of it.

Climate change has caused storm after storm to ravage the planet, and each one stronger than the last. Facing extinction, the world's governments are forced to work together. An international team led by Jake Lawson (Gerard Butler) builds a network of satellites that can control the weather.

Jake names it Dutch Boy. While Jake is a brilliant engineer, he's not much of a politician.

His outspoken nature forces his own brother Max (Jim Sturgess) to fire him. Max ends up over overseeing Dutch Boy, and Jake doesn't speak to him for three years.

Fast forward those three years.

A town in Afghanistan, the buildings and the people, are frozen solid. It would seem Dutch Boy is malfunctioning, and the only person who can fix it is Jake. Reluctantly, Jake agrees to go, but it isn't long before he begins to suspect Dutch Boy isn't broken. It's been hacked.

On the ground, Max manages to come to the same conclusion.

The two brothers have to put their

warmer western U.S. for a time.

While in Saranac Lake, Stevenson became the most famous patient of the already renowned Dr. Edward Trudeau. The latter had founded the Adirondack Cottage Sanitarium in the town for the treatment of tuberculosis (TB). Trudeau also established the first American laboratory dedicated to the study of TB in Saranac Lake.

It was never determined whether Stevenson himself suffered from TB. But Delahant told us the eminent physician recommended two things to his well-known patient: “Quit smoking (Stevenson chain-smoked roll-your-own cigarettes) and stay in Saranac Lake.”

Stevenson did neither. Instead, he sailed the Pacific for three years, finally purchasing a 400-acre estate and settling at Vailima on the island of Upola in Samoa. It was there four years later (on Dec. 3, 1894), at the tender age of 44, that he died suddenly of a suspected cerebral haemorrhage.

The Samoans revered Stevenson and the famous writer is buried on Mount Vaea, overlooking the Pacific. Fanny’s ashes (she died in California in 1914) are interred beside him.

My Take

MARK HASKINS

differences aside and figure out what's going on. If they don't, Dutch Boy could cause a geostorm that would sweep across the planet, killing millions.

Geostorm is undeniably a bad film. The plot and the acting are over-the-top.

It's far-fetched to the point of ridiculousness, and stretches suspension of disbelief well past the breaking point. It races to its climax and its conclusion, making it feel like it's over before it even got started.

Yet I loved it. It was so much fun. I would watch this film again in a heartbeat — provided it was on TV, and not really costing me anything.

So what makes a bad film a good or, more accurately, a fun film. It's usually a happy accident. In the case of Geostorm it goes over-the-top in almost every category, but still has some great lines and some good action. The story is far-fetched, but still interesting. No one in the cast is going

Despite poor health, everywhere Stevenson went he continued to write. In the little house in Saranac Lake, he composed some of his most popular essays including Pulvis et Umbra and large portions of The Master of Ballantrae: A Winter’s Tale. He also laid plans for his Pacific adventures.

Included in the impressive collection of Stevenson memorabilia at the N.Y. state cottage museum (much of it donated by his family) is his smoking jacket complete with a sprig of heather in the breast pocket. The furniture, including the writer’s bed, is original. There is also a lock of his hair, childhood photographs, original letters and literally hundreds of articles of Stevenson lore.

After signing the guest book and thanking the knowledgeable curator, I took some photos of three historic plaques affixed near the museum entrance.

Kathy whispered: “This is a hidden gem, isn’t it?”

I couldn’t possibly agree more!

to win any awards, but they don’t phone it in either. It flirts with being campy but doesn't quite cross that line. Strangely all these things come together to create a really fun and entertaining film. It's mindless fun, but fun nonetheless.

It's actually an impressive cast.

No one is stretching their skills,

but I still like seeing Ed Harris and Andy Garcia. Jim Sturgess is a good counterpoint to Gerard Butler's brilliant but hotheaded genius. Butler plays the hotheaded genius with the best of them. My favourite by far though is Abbie Cornish. As Sarah she's Max's girlfriend, and on the president’s

security detail. Without giving away some of the best parts of the film let's just say that's how you play a secret service agent.

Do not pay full price to see Geostorm, but definitely see Geostorm.

Mississippi Mudds’ production of Anne of Green Gables – The Musical opens Nov. 24 The Mudds are at it again. This time it is Anne of Green Gables – The Musical, just in time to close out Canada’s 150th birthday.

With this particular show we are introducing two new members to the adult shows – Cameron Hunter, 16, goes to RCI in Renfrew will be playing Anne, her first experience with the Mudds and Callum Leroy, 17 and goes to Almonte and District High School will be playing Gilbert. Callum is a seasoned vet of nine shows with the Mudds, but this is his first adult show.

I was lucky enough to do a virtual interview with these two dynamic performers.

plished everything that I used to dream of as a little kid. She got to hang out with Harry Potter, she cut off all her hair just because, and she’s a Disney Princess. What more could a little kid want?

Today she continues to inspire me wit her passion for social justice, her speech at the United Nations Assembly and her desire to challenge herself with new and different acting roles.

She’s incredibly smart, hard working, gorgeous and talented. She’s got it all.

Callum: It’s cliché, but definitely my parents. They work so hard to present me with every opportunity, and I could never thank them enough.

What brought you to the Mudds?

Cameron: My dad play Sir Joseph in last year’s production of HMS Pinafore, and the previous year my friend Olivia played Wendy in Peter Pan. They had such awesome experiences that they encouraged me to come and do a show with the Mudds.

Callum: I always had an interest in theatre so once we started looking for a program I could be part of the Mudds were highly recommended, so I auditioned for Annie Jr and the rest is history.

Cameron: Anna Kendrick. She’s had an amazing life in the world of musical theatre. When she was very young she had a role in the Broadway production of High Society and continued to use her amazing voice when she began auditioning for film roles.

Her break out part was as an acapella singer in Pitch Perfect, but she has also sung in Into the Woods and The Last 5 Years.

What do you dislike about your character?

Cameron: Anne has a really huge personality so she does a lot of bursting into rooms and screaming. Normally I’m a pretty shy person so I’m often really uncomfortable doing that stuff. Once you get used to it though it’s a lot of fun!

Callum: The most annoying thing about Gilbert is that he kind of manipulates Josie…I mean Josie is not very nice so maybe she has it coming, but still.

Will you come back for another show?

Cameron: I would love to come back to the Mudds another time.

“Hi Brian, My 2005 Chevrolet Blazer’s ABS warning light has been coming on, less so with the colder temperatures of fall. Some friends say, ‘Don’t worry about it.’ Others say, ’Just disconnect them’. My thoughts are, the ABS system is very important, especially in winter. Maybe you could write up an article on ABS and the repercussions of them not working properly.”

I agree with your point that an anti-lock brake system (ABS) is an important safety feature to have, especially in winter, when road conditions make brake lockups very common. Your Blazer’s ABS controls are like most others, in that when the warning light is on, the anti-lock brakes won’t function. One of the most common causes for your vehicle’s ABS light is the wheel speed sensor. These magnetic field detectors transmit a constant reading for each wheel’s speed, allowing the control computer to compare them to the overall vehicle speed to determine if a wheel lock-up is occurring when the brake pedal is depressed. The sensors are mounted near or in the

On the first snow day, adjust your commuting schedule if at all possible to avoid the heavy traffic and leave plenty of distance between you and other vehicles. But, seeing that you can’t really control other drivers, leave early or late or stay home altogether. When it comes to snow tire installation, remember that while most good shops will have staff work extra hours to fit everyone in, they have a limited number of vehicle lifts and tire-changing equipment. Make your appointment early to beat the rush. Don’t worry needlessly about what driving on bare dry roads will do to your winter tires; as soon as the outside tempera-

And in all cases when an oil consumption problem arises, clients are told that up to one litre of oil lost in as little as 1,000 kilometres of driving is normal and doesn’t represent a warrantable defect. You’re correct, in my humble opinion, that a three month/5,000-kilometre oil change program is better and most professional techs would concur.

2015

Thanks for the kind words and readership. In any shop I’ve worked in over the years, we’ve always recommended the three month/5,000-kilometre oil change interval with the limited exceptions of autos requiring pure synthetic engine oils, which can stretch the range to 10,000 kilometres on some vehicles.

One question I always put to customers who are understandably confused at why a shop would suggest a three month/5,000-kilometre routine while the owner’s manual says something different is: ‘How long will the carmaker be responsible for your engine repair costs and how long will you be footing the bill?’ As we keep our rides over nine years on average, the answer to that question is painfully clear. Car companies are in a race to provide the longest service intervals possible to compete with themselves, leaving their customers on the hook when the warranty expires, and the risks these stretched-out programs bring start to appear.

and snow. In order to eliminate the guesswork and unnecessary repairs, someone with the proper equipment will have to retrieve the diagnostic codes that caused the ABS light to come on in the first place and then follow the prescribed diagnostic tests.

It’s certainly hard to think about winter, given the abnormally summerlike weather we’ve experienced over the last several weeks. But, the ice and snow is coming, and with it, two of life’s inevitabilities: a large number of vehicle collisions on the first day of snow and long lineups at tire centres to get your snow tires installed. Both of these are completely avoidable.

“Hi Brian, I have been reading your article for a few years now and really like your professionalism and objectivity. I just bought a new Subaru Outback 3.6 and am puzzled by the new recommended frequency of oil changes. Having been burned (no pun intended) before by dealers and garages, let’s just say I am a leery consumer. I used to religiously change the oil in my 2009 Camry, which I sold at 277,000 kilometres, due to it burning a litre of oil every 1,000 kilometres. My new Subaru takes 5W30 and they are telling me to change the oil every 10,000 kilometres or six months. How can it be that the old recommended standard of 5,000 kilometres or three months be now doubled if the oil is the same?

Can I trust this or should I just follow my old regimen?”

Best regards, JM

Perth bids farewell to Eric Cosens, development director

BY DESMOND DEVOY

he said. He got an internship with the Muskoka district, where he “really enjoyed the planning side of things.” A job opened up at the district, which he took on, helping with the lake water quality testing program.

“It was a perfect fit,” said Cosens.

“Just like here, Muskoka is a lot more than what it looks like.”

He stayed in the Muskoka region for three-and-a-half years, before moving to Victoria County in Lindsay, now known as Kawartha Lakes, where he stayed for 13 ½ years.

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Eric Cosens knows where he’s going — and he’s telling others how to get there.

During a photo session outside of Perth town hall late in September, Cosens was posing for a photograph near the flower beds, when two visitors to town asked him how long they could park on Gore Street East.

Two hours, he told them. At first, their faces looked downcast, as they believed they may have to come back to move their car.

But Cosens jumped in, to say that the two-hour restriction only applied until 5 p.m. — and it was already pushing 4 p.m.

They walked off, delighted.

Little did the visitors realize that they had been talking to the soonto-retire director of development and protective services at the town, who had been in office since 2001.

“It’s flown by too quickly,” Cosens said back in his office, full of recycling bins and moving boxes.

He made the decision to retire shortly after Christmas, after 33 years on the job. “I’ve been thinking about it for a while.”

He has three grandchildren and aging parents,with all of whom he wants to spend more time.

“I have things I’ve set aside that I wanted to do,” he said, such as golf, gardening, and swimming. When his children were young, he gave up playing golf because, “I felt guilty going out and playing 18 holes for three hours.”

Desmond Devoy/Metroland

Development and protective services director Eric Cosens stands in front of Perth town hall, where he has worked since 2001. He retired at the end of September.

Early days He has been working since the age of 12 (part-time), spending six years delivering the now-defunct Oshawa Times until he was 16. “Yeah, that was fun,” he said.

He was born in Cobourg, but raised in Oshawa. His father was an independent insurance broker, who worked hard, eventually moving to real estate.

His father continued to work into his 80s, even working as a custodian at a church.

“I’m hoping to mimic that,” he said.

worked at her husband’s office, before landing a job at the old Kmart chain, before it closed.

Cosens attended the University of Guelph, majoring in biology and minoring in resource economics. After graduation, for about 18 months, he had a job in pharmaceutical sales, before returning to Guelph U to take a master's degree in environmental planning. While back on campus, he took a course in economics and he “really liked it,” he said. He had become interested in parks management, and “you need a degree in planning if you want to do parks management,”

Perth beckons In 2001, he made the move to Perth, starting that February. On Day 1, he was already working on the infrastructure master plan, with specific interest on the lands north of Highway 7. An RFP (request for proposal) was also handed to him that day — “You get (to) manage the project!” he was told.

“I’d never been in management,” said Cosens. “It was a steep learning curve.”

In 2005, he started work on the town’s master plan, and 2006 saw talk of annexation of neighbouring lands.

In 2007, a supermarket chain wanted to build a new mall, in a way that was not consistent with the town’s infrastructure plan — for which he helped negotiate a compromise plan by 2010.

“Every time we go to do something, something big pops up,” he said.

In 2012, the official plan went to the public, and copies were sent to Lanark County and Queen’s Park.

Police foundations students get new lessons in mental-health interactions

by Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

(Note: This presentation took place before unionized staff at Ontario’s community colleges went on strike on Monday, Oct. 16, including Algonquin College’s Perth campus.)

Students at Algonquin College’s police foundations program at the Perth campus will now be learning about how to handle citizens with mental-health issues.

“They’re going to start to learn mental health,” said program head Gerry Salisbury, during a presentation to the Lanark County Association of Police Services Boards meeting at the Lanark and District Civitan Club hall on Wednesday, Oct. 4. “It’s something new. The students get to have that awareness. At some point in your career, you will be dealing with someone who has a mental-health diagnosis.”

Salisbury brought several students with him that morning as part of a field trip to get a better understanding about police service boards and civilian governance.

“This is the future, sitting right there,” said Salisbury. “They are the highlight.”

While there is a police foundations program at Algonquin’s main Ottawa campus, the Perth campus is “a small campus but we like it that way.”

With only 300 students for the whole

Members of the Lanark County Association of Police Services Boards pose with members of Algonquin College (Perth campus) police foundations program, along with members of the OPP, at the Lanark and District Civitan Club on Wednesday, Oct. 4. campus, there is “much more personalized.” Salisbury, the former detachment commander for the Lanark County OPP, commended the support Perth has given the program — including donating a squad car from the old Perth Police Service.

The program is a non-semester diploma program that runs for 45 straight weeks.

“So we have condensed a two-year program into one year,” said Salisbury. “That’s intense. We found a need for students to consider a 45-week program. They are a busy bunch.”

But there were multiple reasons for structuring the program this way, including the fact that “it saves the student money,” and it helps to “get (them) out into the workforce a year early.” Luckily for his students, there are “a lot of job opportunities,” with a looming deluge of retirements from police forces.

“They learn how to write tickets, conduct investigations, interview people,” said Salisbury. They also study political science, psychology, mental health, research, self-defence, and criminal investigations, among other

LOOK INSIDE FOR

subjects. Students get classes with a certified defence instructor, and also learn handcuff and search techniques.

Salisbury’s students have been busy out in the community at several events: Festival of the Maples, Special Olympics, Christmas house tours, Christmas parades, The Table Community Food Centre, YAK, Perth Blue Wings, Salvation Army clothing drive for kids, and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County.

“You need to be involved in the community,” said Salisbury. “We, as police officers, are leaders in our

community. You are looked upon to a higher standard.” He also stressed that the community involvement needs to be consistent “to show that you are part of the community.”

In the past, “we always missed the Pride Parade (in Perth) and the Stewart Park Festival,” because they fell outside of the normal semester times.

Now, with the new 45-week program, “we can get involved in (those) too.”

Students also learn about “integrity. They have to learn to be honest with people.”

Graduates of the program have already gone on to work with CSIS (Canadian Security Intelligence Service), Parliament Hill security, and airport security.

One of Salisbury’s students, from Quebec, Calvin Plante, said that he chose the Perth campus because “I really wanted a small-town feel,” he said, with “a small class size.” Back in Quebec, he often did not know his teachers.

Another student, from Nunavut, Napatsie Lucassie, is looking to continue on to study criminology at Carleton University in Ottawa as part of a bridging program between the two schools.

Salisbury said that the program has a 75 to 80 per cent success rate and is recognized by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

“It’s an asset (the program),” said Salisbury. “It’s a sellable feature.”

Mayor admits mistakes made in sewer system expansion

BY DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Town hall messed up.

That was the admission from Perth Mayor John Fenik regarding the latest phase in the town’s submerged attached growth reactor (SAGR) program at the Perth lagoon.

“We messed up,” said Fenik during the Perth town council meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 24. “Along the way, something was missed.”

Fenik’s remarks came on the heels of questioning from Coun. Jim Boldt of environmental services director Grant Machan. Council was discussing a proposal to approve a budget deviation of $374,187, plus HST, of a fourth cell, to complement the three cells of the SAGR program already approved. (The budget deviation was later unanimously approved by council, and the money will come from the water and sewer budget.)

“That fourth cell should have been included in the rebid process,” said Machan, since the first proposals for the project came in at a much higher cost than town hall had anticipated.

“We were all shocked when we all opened up those (first) bids,” said Boldt. “OK, we messed up. Mea cupla, mea culpa.”

“The fourth cell was an additional item that would guarantee the ad-

ditional population,” said Machan.

While three cells would meet the town’s current “status quo” needs, a third cell would “ensure treatment capacity for the anticipated population growth of 8,170 by 2030,” wrote Machan in his staff report to council.

The town also expects that the population could reach 10,500 by 2041, hence the need for the fourth cell.

“I don’t recall, when we were discussing the rebid process, being told that it had been scaled back from four to three,” said Boldt.

Fenik later hastened to add that “I’m not criticizing our staff at all,” to which Boldt called out, “Me either.”

“This system allows us to grow, now,” said chief administrative officer John deRosenroll, as well as “accommodate” growth later.

“I hope we achieve that growth,” said Boldt, though he cautioned that “there will have to be a lot of growth” to meet those projected population numbers, if previous population growth over the last 25 years is anything to go by.

Boldt called the process “frustrating,” and noted that “we have had a lot to learn from the process,” not the least of which was that consultants can, even with the best of intentions and working with the numbers they have available, be well off the mark.

$7,000 in donations keep the Christmas lights on downtown

by Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

The two summer staples wanted a piece of the Christmas spirit, so, they are donating a sum total of $7,000 to help the Downtown Heritage Perth Business Improvement Area and town hall carry the cost of the Christmas lights program.

The Perth Rotary Club’s Ribfest, and the Stewart Park Festival are both donating $3,500 toward keeping downtown Perth lit up like a Christmas tree this holiday season.

“There is a substantial cost to putting Christmas lights (up) in the downtown,” said John McKenty, chair of the Stewart Park Festival’s organizing committee. In the lead up this year’s holidays, the question was asked: “How are we going to cover this cost?”

Both festivals decided to answer the call: “Why don’t we step up and give back to the community?” said McKenty. “People do appreciate the lights.” The $7,000 will go a long way, but will only cover a portion of the lights on display into the new year. “There still

will be costs beyond that. Each year the BIA tries to add new trees.”

“We are excited to be a part of it,” said the Rotary Club’s president-elect, Frank Larabie. “Everybody looks forward to driving down on a snowy night” to see the lights.

Just that morning, the Ribfest organizing committee had finalized the dates for the summer 2018 event, which will be held at the Perth fairgrounds on Aug. 27 to 29.

This year’s Stewart Park Festival will be held from July 13 to 15.

25th annual Perth Polar Bear Plunge to support The Table’s food centre Jan. 1 will mark the 25th year of New Year’s Day plunges into the Tay River.

The long-standing Perth Polar Plunge happens thanks to a team of hardworking volunteers from the Perth Royal Canadian Legion.

Each year legion volunteers partner with a different charity to hold the plunge. On this special anniversary year, The Table Community Food Centre is excited to be the partner charity and is striving to break Lanark County Interval House’s 2017 record for plungers and funds raised.

Over the years, the Perth Polar Bear Plunge has grown from just a handful of plungers, to 85 plungers who raised over $28,495 pledges for Interval House in 2017.

Over its history, the plunge has raised a total of $274,563 for local charities.

At 8 a.m. on Jan. 1st, 2018, plungers will assemble at the Perth Royal Canadian Legion, full of anticipation and excitement to plunge into the icy water of the Tay. First, the lucky

the main event at 10 a.m. Many participants plunge in teams of friends or co-workers, some with matching outfits, while some go solo and steal the show with fancy jumping moves. Others keep things simple and are just happy to accomplish their goal of getting in and out the water safely.

The plunge is a fun community event and a great way to enjoy New Year’s Day with your friends and neighbours while supporting a great cause. All are welcome to participate. A minimum of $25 in pledges is required to plunge.

The Table will provide tools and suggestions to support individual and team fundraising efforts to reach much more ambitious goals.

The Table’s overall goal is to raise $30,000 in pledges to support its Community Meals and plungers will eat a healthy and hearty breakfast. Good Food Bank programs that help to ensure Spectators and supporters are also welcome to breakfast for $5.

Plungers nourished by their breakfast and having received a safety briefing will be set for

that everyone in our community has access to healthy food.

If you don’t plan on plunging, you can pledge a plunger, a team or just donate to the overall effort online.

All the information you need for this year’s plunge is available on The Table’s plunge web page: www.thetablecfc.org/plunge. You can also email plunge@thetablecfc.org or call 613-2676428 x 8.

On October 15, 2014, the Ontario Government formally enacted a new law, making carbon monoxide alarms mandatory in all Ontario homes.

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, and 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.

“That’s when we ran into problems with population growth,” said Cosens. The town was projecting more robust population growth than the county, which put them in conflict with the county’s official plan, who had a more restrained outlook of Perth’s projected population growth.

“The county was willing to work with us,” said Cosens.

“The province was not able to.”

It would take years for a negotiated settlement to be reached between 80 Gore St. E., and 99 Christie Lake Rd., the town and the county. The town’s official plan was finally approved in February of 2016, following two years of negotiations with the province and the county.

“It’s been a long process to

prepare the town for growth since I got here,” he said.

“None of that happens on its own. I think we are in a sound place to encourage development in the future. The town is on the cusp of being really prepared for growth.”

One of the changes that were made to town infrastructure to accommodate this growth involved upgrading the sewer system.

“All of that takes time,” he said. “(But) you can’t plan for a lot of growth if your services need upgrading.”

Paperwork That a bureaucrat’s office should be full of paperwork is not surprising, even when one realizes that in 2000, in his profession, maps went digital.

He still has a lot of old paperwork, such as provincial

policy directives, dating back to 1985, which he loves looking up. From his early beginnings, the town is now having to plan for coming changes, like Uber, making for “more flexible transit systems,” which the town may be considering in years to come.

As for the proposed four-laneing of Highway 7 from Carleton Place to Perth, “they’re looking at it. It wouldn’t surprise me if it took as long to get that as it did to get the four laneing from Ottawa to Carleton Place,” he said.

“This is a working town,” he added. A growth management study, published in 2013, showed that there were 6,200 jobs, in a town that had only 6,000 people at the time. As of 2012, that made Perth the “only place in Ontario” that did that.

You gotta take a bus

ack in September a story hit the news about a single father in B.C. who got in big poo poo for letting his kids take city transit to school by themselves.

He has five kids, and he let the four oldest ones (ages seven through 11) ride the city bus unsupervised. He didn’t just throw them on there and let them go – he made the trip with them several times first to make sure they knew the drill.

This sparked chitchat about helicopter parenting and laws in various provinces about how old kids have to be before they can be left unsupervised.

An opinion piece by Allan Richarz for CBC News on Sept. 20, 2017 (“Bureaucrats remain fixated on protecting kids from that terrifying condition known as ‘childhood’”) notes in B.C. kids can’t be left alone before age 10, and in Manitoba and New Brunswick, it’s 12.

I remember wondering about that whole age thing when my eldest was getting to a stage when he was OK on his own for short blips. After all, there are times when a mom could get to the store and back flying solo in a fraction of the time it would take to haul other people along – even if they don’t need to be strapped into a car seat anymore.

The CBC story said Ontario law references the age as 16, but the Ministry of Children and Youth Services says there is no specific age. I remember being confused about this, especially since kids can take the babysitting course at age 12, which might lead one to believe 12 is the magic number for looking after others. The advice I got at the time was that 10 was OK to leave your kid alone, but you couldn’t let your kid look after another kid until he/she turned 12.

Don’t quote me, though. This is not an official document.

I remember being nervous about the whole thing. I figured that no matter how competent and confident my children were, if I left them alone at the wrong age that would be the time a piano would fall on the house and 9-1-1 would be called and ages would be tallied and my goose would be cooked.

OK. I’m exaggerating. A little. But the guy in B.C. ended up having to sign a safety plan saying he wouldn’t let his children ride the bus alone any-

Past Deadline

Stephanie Gray

more, so…

The story went on to describe how in Japan kids are way more independent far sooner. It points to a lower crime rate and stronger societal bonds there that make children feel more comfortable about asking strangers for help. Children being snatched away by strangers in Canada is, fortunately, a larger problem in our minds than it is on the actual streets.

Really, we do need to teach children how to be competent and resilient early, lest we have quaking, anxiety-ridden adults later.

I think about my own experiences as a kid. I had no qualms about roaming the neighbourhood unsupervised when I was younger than 10. We did not do “play dates,” we just went out to play until the street lights came on (or until Mom calling us turned into Dad calling us … which meant trouble).

I frequently was dispatched to the store a couple of blocks away to buy stuff – milk, bread, cigarettes. Not saying kids buying cigarettes is a good thing, but it was a thing in the 1970s.

(I had no interest in smoking them.)

I was, in general, a timid kid, and being from a small town brought with it a little bit of anxiety when it came time to set out and do things like ride city buses or take a subway. I think those are all things I would have been able to handle as a 10-year-old – if I’d been exposed to them – simply because that’s how we rolled back then.

Funny how even though I grew up that way, I find myself sucked into helicopter parenting sometimes. In the age of play dates, it’s sometimes easy to forget that childhood is about more than playing; it’s about learning and experiencing and getting ready to take on the world.

Sometimes, in order to do that, you have to go solo on a city bus. And sometimes parents need to remember that while it may be quicker to do something yourself, it’s not going to help turn a kid into someone who can do stuff.

Ghosts are real – I’ve experienced them

t wouldn’t be Halloween without a little creepy ghost talk.

Whether you believe in them or not, it doesn’t matter to me. Because I’ve seen them. Well, at least what I believe to be experiences that can’t be explained away.

My first paranormal encounter was when I was about nine years old.

My grandmother on my mother’s side, who I called grammy, had died and we went to her wake. It was an open casket situation, and it was the first time I’d ever seen a dead body up close and personal. It was weird and I remember being particularly freaked out by the paper-like texture my grammy’s skin had to it.

I knew it was my grammy’s body, but I knew she wasn’t there.

That night, I tried to sleep on my own – completely freaked out by the experience I’d had seeing my grandmother’s body at the funeral home.

It was quiet.

Then, out of the corner of my eye the room started to get bright.

EVELYN HARFORD View From Here I quickly looked to my door frame – the direction the light was coming from – and saw the shape of a person, almost like a halo tracing the entire body.

For some reason, instinctually, I knew it was my grandmother.

I was spooked and covered my head with the blankets.

Then, I felt the bed depress in the crook of my legs; like someone was sitting on the bed.

What felt like a hand touched my leg, almost patting me to tell me it was all right.

In an instant, it was gone.

I’ll never forget that experience.

I can’t explain it. Maybe it was all a dream, but I’m sure it wasn’t.

This wasn’t the only weird – and unexplained – experience I’ve had.

This next one comes from my mom memory.

A couple years after my grammy died, my great grandmother – who was the mother of my grammy – was on her deathbed.

On occasion, I would go with my mom to visit her as she lay between worlds. You could tell at that point she wasn’t quite living but she wasn’t quite dead.

One day I walked into the room, but she couldn’t look at me.

“Why?” I asked my mom who recalled the story.

“Because you were too bright,” she said.

According to my mom, my greatgrandmother could see a white light coming from me and it was so bright she couldn’t gaze my way.

I also recall her telling me a little girl was following me.

Le t ter to the Editor

Reader would like to see a dog park for Perth DEAR EDITOR,

I recently read in The Perth Courier about the Perth town council debating a possible bylaw regarding dogs urinating down town. During the 14 years I have lived in Perth it seems like the whole purpose of the council is to make the town a family-friendly community. Talking about basically prohibiting people from walking their dogs in certain areas of the town is divisive. How about being more inclusive instead?

column From page P8

I’m not sure what that meant.

Paranormal experiences seem to happen when you least expect them. It’s not usually when you’re particularly scared or rattled. They, at least for me, happen out of the blue, without any warning.

One night when I was in high school I was up late studying at my grampy’s house in the dead of winter. My grampy lived closer to my school, which was two towns over from where I lived. It was a stormy winter night, so I decided to forgo the trip.

While I was studying a giant gust of wind swept through the office area that I was using, my papers rustled to the ground.

No windows were open.

Then, I heard talking.

No one was up.

I could hear the voices of my great-grandmother and greatgrandfather speaking to each other.

I knew immediately it was them. They both had lived in the house before they died.

Their conversation went on for what seemed like four or five minutes.

I sat there stunned. Too frightened to move.

It finally stopped and I ran around to try and see if any of the windows were opened.

They weren’t.

The next experience I had was when my family and I moved into a new house.

It had a weird vibe from the get-go.

I slept in our basement, which was finished. I was able to have lots of privacy as a teenager, which I liked. But what I didn’t like was the strange feel-

Almost every second household in my subdivision has a dog. It would be nice to see Perth being more progressive in attracting families. We have beautiful treed areas on the edge of town. Why not build something like Bruce Pitts in Ottawa. An off leash dog park where families can walk as well? It would keep dogs from the downtown core and would provide a family friendly area for people and dogs to interact.

ing I had, like someone else was there.

I told my mom about it and told her that it seemed like there was a man down there.

I couldn’t explain why I thought that, but it’s just how I felt.

I never saw anything, but strangely could visualize the person in my head.

I told my mom about it, but we never thought anything more until years later when she went to see a psychic who described an older man who was hanging around in our laundry room area, in the basement where I slept as a teenager.

This second party confirmation was all I needed to be affirmed that what I had felt was real.

This psychic had no idea about me or my thoughts and feelings about our basement,

and the subject wasn’t prompted by my mother.

Whether you believe in ghosts or not, these experiences are real to me – and surely creeped me out as a child and teenager.

I’ve only had one other experience since then, and I’m hoping it’ll stay that way.

St. John Elementary School’s annual “Take me Outside Day” was held on Oct. 25 to support education extending beyond four walls. They covered a range of subjects (math, language, religion, science, and art, to name a few). The kids in these photos studied the works of natural artist, Andy Goldsworthy. Using his examples of line, colour, shape, and texture, they worked in groups to create their own natural artwork. It was truly beautiful!

Words from the President

The Remembrance Day Ceremony has played a major role in Remembrance since 1931. Every year, at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, we gather in memorial parks, community halls, workplaces, schools and homes to stand in honour of all who have fallen. Together, we observe a moment of silence to mark the sacrifice of the many who have fallen in the service of their country, and to acknowledge the courage of those who still serve.

The Act of Remembrance 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.

We will remember them.

Take part in Remembrance ceremonies across Canada Royal Canadian Legion members take pride in organizing Remembrance Day Ceremonies in over 1,400 Branches across Canada and abroad. Through each Branch, the Legion continues the traditions of Remembrance so that Canada ‘never forgets.’

Now and forever, Perth Remembers

The National Remembrance Day Ceremony On Remembrance Day, at the National War Memorial in Ottawa, tens of thousands of people assemble to honour and remember those who have fallen to protect our freedoms.

The Legion organizes and conducts the National Remembrance Day Ceremony. The Ceremony, which is broadcast nationally, brings together Veterans of all wars as well as peace support operations, the Canadian Armed Forces, the RCMP, the Silver Cross Mother, dignitaries, and youth representatives.

Perth down but not out of CCHL2 race with two home games this weekend

BY LAURIE WEIR

ljweir@metroland.com

The Perth Blue Wings may be in sixth place of the Richardson Division in the CCHL2, but the party’s far from over for the two-time defending conference champions.

“It is very unusual for the Blue Wings to be down this far in the standings after two backto-back first place ‘Richardson Conference’ regular season championships,” said head coach Michael McLean.

But that’s junior hockey.

The Blue Wings played one game over the weekend and that was a Saturday drive to Athens where they Aeros doubled up on Perth, 4-2.

Athens had a 2-0 lead before Perth could get on the board. Matt Berry and Dylan Stacey did the scoring.

Dylan Sharpley put the Blue Wings on the board with his power play marker assisted by Jordan Currie and Tyler Murphy.

In the third, Theo Todd gave the Aeros a 3-1 edge.

Perth replied with Currie’s unassisted goal at 14:44 of the period.

It was a scramble for the Aeros to keep Perth out of the zone as the Blue Wings put on the pressure with the extra attacker, but Athens added the empty-netter for the 4-2 final with Glynn Robitaille taking the credit.

The winning goalie was Curtis Hanspiker with 40 saves. Johnathan Peacock suffered the loss turning away 30 shots.

McLean said he liked the team’s power play, which is improving, as well as their penalty killing.

“Our goaltending from Johnathan Peacock has been solid,” he said.

“With 15 new players in our lineup, we continue to focus on development and creating a team culture and standard of play that will lead to winning on and off the ice.”

As coaches, McLean said they are enjoying the new challenge of working with so many Jason Code/Perth Blue Wings young and highly skilled players.

St. John Spartan Nolan Saunders is sandwiched in a tackle between Almonte Bolts players Jay Gleeson, on top, and Nolan Nesbitt on the bottom during the Oct. 30 game in Beckwith. The Bolts posted a 27-2 win and will meet Arnprior Saturday in the Lanark/Renfrew Football League final. The juniors (Arnprior vs Almonte) will play at 12:30 p.m. and the seniors (Arnprior vs Almonte) at 2:30 p.m. both at Beckwith.

BLUE WINGS

From PAGE 11

“Trust me; their time will come as many of these new players are 17 and 18 years old – and will be playing for us for two to three years to come. The reload is well underway with a locker room full of hard working, high character people and players.”

McLean said they are looking to add an experienced defenseman and a couple of scoring forwards in the next few weeks.

“We have had a hard time finishing around the net,” he said, and they have lost “a bunch of close one- and two-goal games. Our focus remains on what we can control - our own work ethic and team discipline.”

The Blue Wings have suffered a few injuries and these players will be retuning over the next week or two.

“Cameron Scott, Nick Vala and Dan Hennessy will all be returning from month long injuries very soon,” he said.

Coming up This weekend, the Blue Wings are back in their barn Friday night with a home game against Embrun at 8 p.m.

Sunday, they’ll host Westport for an afternoon contest at 3 p.m.

“It will be great to be back home after playing on the road the last two weeks,” he said. “We need to start winning at home.”

McLean said Embrun is an experience club and they will need a full team effort Friday to beat them.

“Westport is first place in our conference and on fire right now,” said McLean. “They work hard, have good goaltending and play with good discipline. Both games will be good tests for our young team.”

The coach said they also need outstanding goaltending and “great team defense. We cannot get into any ‘run and gun’ games with either of these opponents. We need to play our game; not their game.”

Remembering the Wolf Pack Last weekend’s car crash that killed two of the four Renfrew Timberwolves hockey players: Alex Pacquette and Brandon Hanniman, both 18, has sent shock waves through the Renfrew community and extended

hockey family communities.

McLean said the news was “very shocking and upsetting,” and as a result their Friday night game against the Timberwolves was postponed to a later date.

“Our thoughts and prayers go out to these young men and their families,” he said.

McLean said they are going to do something within their organization “to try and help out in some small way,” but he’s not sure what at this time. They’ll collaborate with the players’ families and see what they can do to assist them.

Alumni excitement The Perth Blue Wings will be hosting their annual alumni event in February, and currently, McLean said he’s in the process of negotiating prospects.

“Our first choice is a Montreal Canadiens versus Toronto Maple Leafs game featuring many of the Hall of Fame Stars from both franchises,” McLean said.

He added that he has reached out to Wayne Gretzky and the Edmonton Oilers Alumni as well, and he will know next week if they’re available.

“The challenge is we need (Wayne) Gretzky to play in the game, not just coach,” McLean said. “If he can and will play, we will bring the Oilers to Perth this February.”

They are also looking to bring “the ultimate Toronto Maple Leafs Alumni team” which would include such legends Darryl Sittler, Lanny McDonald, Wendel Clark, Doug Gilmour, Darcy Tucker, Tiger Williams and Curtis Joseph in goal.

“I would love to see this all-time Leafs Alumni All-Star team on the ice in Perth,” he said.

McLean said they have some great options – all of which translate to a “must see event” in the community.

Pink the Rink With outstanding fan support, the Blue Wings Pink the Rink night on Friday, Oct. 13 raised some $1,500 for the Canadian Cancer Society.

The team sold pink toques and headbands at the game and the entire 50/50 draw went to the cause as well.

Tay Valley Ski Club hosts annual general meeting Nov. 6 The Tay Valley Cross Country Ski Club’s 44th annual general meeting and social evening will take place on Monday Nov. 6 at 7 p.m. at the Perth and District Indoor Swimming Pool Multi-Purpose Room, located at 3 Sunset Blvd. in Perth.

The AGM is an opportunity for area cross-country ski enthusiasts to look back on the successes of the past season, and make plans for the upcoming one.

The evening will begin with a ski swap at 6:30 p.m. Bring your unused skis, poles and boots — perhaps they

will be an upgrade for someone with older equipment or the first set of skis for a beginner.

Guest speaker this year will be Curtis Thompson, superintendent of Murphys Point Provincial Park. Curtis will be speaking about the partnership that has existed between the park and the TVCCSC for the past 35 years (and there will be cake to celebrate the anniversary). Part of this partnership involves some portions of the trail extending beyond the park boundaries on to private land, and these landowners will be acknowledged as well.

Work on the ground to prepare for the season has already begun. On Oct. 21, Don Frizell led a crew of ten volunteers in a trail cleanup bee, removing brush and cutting up downed trees lying across trails. The park is providing a new Polaris ATV with tracked wheels to improve the pulling capabilities of the club-purchased groomers.

Park staff and club volunteers will be installing trail signage and maps over the next month.

Ski programming will include adult clinics on Jan. 13 and Feb. 17, youth programming when the snow arrives

(see website for updates: https://tayvalleyskiclub.wordpress.com), Moonlight Skis on Jan. 5, Feb. 2, March 2) and the Loppet on February 11.

An executive, elected at each AGM, governs the club. Anyone interested in joining as a member at large is encouraged to do so at the meeting.

Attendees at the AGM will have an opportunity to purchase their 2017-2018 membership, giving them unlimited skiing access to the beautifully groomed trails at Murphys Point Provincial Park for the entire ski season. Rates this year will be $75 for a

family, $50 for an individual and $25 for a student. Online registration will be available on Nov. 3 and early paper registration without an extra online fee will be available only at the AGM. Join us on Monday, Nov. 6 for an evening of cross country ski information, refreshments, fun and friendship.

For more information, go to the club website or contact club secretary Brad Mills at millham@sympatico.ca or 613-267-5967.

It’s better to prepare and prevent than to repair and repent

National

Senior

Safety an act to condemn!

Fraud against senior citizens:

Week

November 6 to 12, 2017

National Senior Safety Week takes place between November 6 and 12, 2017. To mark the occasion, the Canada Safety Council aims to raise awareness of the prevalence of fraud and other forms of financial abuse against seniors.

All too often, elderly people are the victims of illicit activity. Many possess a life’s worth of savings and other financial benefits, which make them prime targets for fraud.

Additionally, con artists take advantage of seniors’ trusting character and life situation (many of them live alone) to scam them.

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS If you’re a senior citizen, make vigilance your priority! In order to prevent financial

exploitation, you must tread lightly whenever faced with an unusual situation. For example, if a vendor seems too insistent and asks for personal information, don’t hesitate to say that you’re not interested in what they have to offer. Most importantly, never make spur-ofthe-moment decisions, and always ask a third party for their opinion when in doubt.

Finally, if you or someone you know believes to be the victim of fraud or any other form of financial abuse, communicate with the authorities right away!

For more information on National Senior Safety Week, visit www.canadasafetycouncil.org.

Help for Today. Hope for Tomorrow...

®

BEWARE! Identity theft, fraudulent charities and organizations, pyramid schemes, fake lotteries - con artists use different methods to trick elderly people. Always be wary of unsolicited requests received over the phone, online or in person (e.g. door-todoor selling).

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 You will welcome this week as a time for renewal, Aries. That means surrounding yourself with easygoing people and engaging in various relaxing activities.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 You are proud of new plans and are now feeling invincible, Leo. There is so much potential coming your way that it may be slightly overwhelming processing it all.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you are not the type of person who is willing to settle. This week, in regard to your career, you will demonstrate just how eager you are to get ahead.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, no matter the demands that are put on your time right now, you must take some time to retreat and focus on your well-being. This may mean staying out of the limelight.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you may have been quietly working on a project that no one has had a clue about. This endeavor will soon be revealed to everyone close to you, showcasing your creativity.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, the greatest asset you can have this week is the capacity to communicate. Always express your feelings clearly so that nothing can be misconstrued.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you might feel like you have lost a bit of your relationship magic, but in the department of winning friends, you can’t be beat. People are lining up to know you.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Relationship matters are on the mend, Aquarius. You couldn’t be happier with the changes. You’re not prone to going it alone, and having a mate at your side is key.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 You are not going to do anything halfway this week, Scorpio. Come to think of it, you never do things halfway. Nevertheless, be cautious and considerate with your pursuits.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, associates and friends have been cautious and guarded, leading you to believe you should act the same way. Don’t follow the crowd.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, if you’ve felt misunderstood recently, do not worry. Things will finally be righted, and you will be able to smooth over any miscommunications with others.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 This is a week of activity directly related to your earning potential, Cancer. It is time to get your financial house in order, devoting your time to budgets.

IN MEMORIAM MUNRO, Florence In loving memory of a dear mother, grandmother and greatgrandmother, who passed away October 31, 2007.

We are sad within our memory; Lonely are our hearts today; For the one we loved so dearly; Has forever been called away.

We think of you in silence; No eye may see us weep; But many silent tears are shed; When others are asleep.

As we look upon your picture; Sweet memories we recall; Of a face so full of sunshine; A smile for one and all.

Though your smile has gone forever; And your hand we cannot tough; We shall never lose sweet memories; Of the one we loved so much.

Always remembered and forever loved, The Family

If we could visit heaven, even for a day, Maybe for a moment, the pain would go away.

I’d put my arms around you, and whisper words so true, That living life without you, is the hardest thing to do.

No matter how we spend our days, no matter what we do, No morning dawns or evening falls, when we don’t think of you.

We will love and miss you always.

You fell asleep without saying goodbye, But our memories of you will never die.

We miss you more than anyone knows, As each day passes our emptiness grows.

The tears we shed will wipe away, But the ache in our hearts will always stay.

No one knows the grief we bear, When our family meets and you’re not there.

You left us suddenly, your thoughts unknown, But left us memories we’re proud to own.

Please God, take a message, To our loved one in Heaven above, Tell her how much we miss her, And give her all our love.
