Remembrance events on weekend, Nov. 11

Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

The date is ever fixed on our calendars and in our hearts. The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, when the Great War finally came to a close. Many wars have come and gone since then. New, threatening enemies rise up to try to steal our freedom and our peace, and we, as a nation, again arise to complete our task. But still the two-minute silence falls across the land at 11 o’clock – and next Wednesday, Nov. 11 will be no different. The Legion colour party will form up at the Perth branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, 26 Beckwith St. E. in Perth at 10 a.m., to march to the cenotaph, 33 Drummond St. W., in front of the Great War Memorial Hospital site of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital. The Remembrance Day ceremony takes place at 11 a.m., sharp. The public is invited See REMEMBER page P5

William George John Clark, 91, accepts congratulations from Grand Master John Green after receiving the William Mercer Wilson Medal.

Perth Mason receives highest Grand Lodge medal Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

William George John Clark, 91, has received a rare and distinguished honour from his brother Masons - the William Mercer Wilson Medal. The medal was bestowed on Clark, a member of the True Briton’s Mason Lodge, 61 Foster St., this past Monday, Nov. 2, by the Grand Master, John Green. In a letter to The Perth Courier, dated Oct. 6, lodge secretary James Cas-

sibo calls the medal “a rare distinction that is conferred by the Grand Lodge of Canada in the province of Ontario to recognize a member’s outstanding contribution to his community, his place of worship, and his lodge. It is the highest award a Mason can achieve, having not been a Master of his lodge.” Clark was 21, the minimum age required for membership in the Masons, when he joined back in 1944.

Dam’d if they do, dam’d if they don’t – and now they will only be able to do one dam. Initial plans to replace both Haggart Island dams near Stewart Park with “rocky ramp” dams have been put on hold because of a staggering increase in the price of rocks that will be needed for the projects. “We were going to do both dams,” said Mayor John Fenik during the town council meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 27. “But because of the cost of the rock, we cannot do the big dam.” In fact, it will cost about $100,000 for rocks alone to convert the small dam along the Little Tay, under the pedestrian bridge. Fenik said he had been speaking with Harvey Street residents who said that they were concerned that the shoreline clean-up promised for around the same time as the construction would not take place. “They are fine with the dam being there,” said Fenik, but the concerns remained. “It’s probably wiser to do this in stages,” though he added that “I think we should clean that up,” he said of the shoreline damage. The dam rehabilitation projects are a joint project between the town and the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA). “The thing that upsets me… (is that) the money was there,” said Coun. Jim Boldt. “We were going to be able to do this whole project in one fell swoop.” He agreed though that this would be a good opportunity to see how the water diversion works at stopping the soil erosion of Stewart Park along the Little Tay. “I’d like to see us move forward very quickly as it was originally intended,” said Boldt. Coun. Riq Turner said he too was a little frustrated at this new delay.

Early United Counties 2016 budget projection showing shortfall Significant use of estimates, historical knowledge and judgment is used in projecting budget versus actual variances to year end. All divisions of the United Counties were requested to submit 2015 year-end projections for operational and capital budgets. In November 2014, the projected deficit was $643,728. The end of year actual deficit was $278,386, which was transferred from reserves. New ATV by-law expands Counties road usage A bylaw regulating the use of all-terrain, multi-purpose off-road utility and recreational vehicles on seven new sections of county roads has been passed by council. The bylaw outlines new locations where ATVs can be driven on the shoulder of county roads. The speed limit is 20 kilometres per hour where the estab-

lished limit under the Highway Traffic Act or by municipal bylaw is not greater than 50 kilometres per hour. Under the same guidelines, the ATV speed limit is 50 kilometres per hour if the established limit is greater than 50 kilometres per hour. There is a curfew from 11 p.m. to 4 a.m. seven days a week. The additional locations were requested by the Thousand Islands ATV Club. The municipalities of Leeds and the Thousand Islands and Athens endorsed the additions. Six sections were approved last fall, bringing the total up to 13. The new and existing locations include the following: • County Road 2: From Jenkins Road east of Mallorytown to Civic Address 1633 (existing) • County Road 34: From Kyes Road to Modler Road (existing); from Haig Road to Lexx Road (existing); • From County Road 35 to Lexx

Commemorative plaque to be unveiled in Elgin Nov. 7 On Nov 11, 1:30 p.m., a First World War commemorative plaque will be unveiled in the former schoolyard of School Section # 5, Elgin. In 1915 the land beside the village schoolhouse featured in the Elgin based training of the young men of north Leeds who had volunteered to be part of the 156th Leeds and Grenville Battalion. The Department of Canadian Heritage has provided funding to the Elgin and Area Heritage Society for the design and installation of this plaque which will include the names of the 29 young men who died during the years 1914-18. As well the plaque includes pictorial information relating to the time spent by the men in the vicinity of the Elgin schoolhouse.

sociation of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) to aid in resettling 1,000 refugees in Ontario over the next two years. In September, AMO president, Gary McNamara challenged municipalities across Ontario to donate $100 each to aid in the international effort to resettle Syrian refugees to safe countries. AMO is seeking the funds for Lifeline Syria, a non-profit, community-based initiative committed to bringing refugees to Ontario. In many cases, Lifeline Syria is helping existing Ontario families to bring relatives to Canada from Syria. AMO set a goal of raising $40,000 and has now raised more than $60,000. There are 444 municipalities in Ontario.

The following are highlights from the regular United Counties of Leeds and Grenville Council Meeting held on Thursday, Oct. 22, and a committee of the whole earlier this month on Oct. 6. A 2015 budget projection report released earlier this month at a committee of the whole meeting is indicating a small deficit. The anticipated overall deficit of the operating budget is $268,287. The variance projection will become more accurate as the year unfolds. Some unknowns which could have an impact are winter/ storm control in November and December, investment interest, Provincial Offences Act (POA) revenue, paymentsin-lieu of taxation, supplementary taxes and tax write-offs. “We’re working to mitigate the deficit before the end of the year,” Counties treasurer Pat Huffman said of the projection. “This is the worst case scenario.”

The Canadian Cancer Society in Lanark, Leeds & Grenville is excited to announce the launch of the 30-Day Cycling Challenge, a new fundraiser during November. The Challenge will raise funds and awareness for the Society’s Wheels of Hope, a critical transportation service that helps community members get to their cancer-related appointments. In Ontario, one in five cancer patients cannot get to their cancer-related appointments. Last year, the Society’s Lanark, Leeds & Grenville volunteer drivers drove 292,524 kilometres, with each trip costing an average of just more than $60 due to the long distances travelled in eastern Ontario. “We are very excited to launch this challenge as it provides another way to get involved and support the local Wheels of Hope,” says Anita Carley,

community fundraising specialist of the Lanark, Leeds & Grenville Community Office. “Participants set a cycling goal that is a personal fitness goal or the same distance that one of our community members travels to life-saving treatment.” The cycling can be done on the road or in a gym, in a group or on your own. The minimum fundraising goal is thirty dollars, which corresponds to the average cost of a one-way trip to a patient’s cancer treatment. Motivate yourself to pedal with purpose for a cause this November.

From the elk meatballs, to the local cheeses, the black garlic crostini, and custom made caramels, REAL’s annual fundraising local foods dinner Oct. 17 was truly a “dinner with a difference.” This year, REAL teamed up with the new Two Rivers Food Hub to highlight local food suppliers and their new facility. Bruce Enloe, a talented chef, owner of The Branch Restaurant in Kemptville and manager of the Two Rivers Food Hub, turned out an impressive buffet that featured a barbecue hip of beef with beef supplied by Grenville Grass, elk meatballs, the Elk Ranch in Kanata, a rabbit stew, Flintshire Farms, local seasonal greens, Bluegrass Farm in Jasper, and roasted vegetables, Miller’s Bay Farm in Rideau Ferry. About 80 people dined on the foodie’s feast and enjoyed the products of another 20 or so local producers from fruits and vegetables, garlic, sunflower oil and even ice cream. The meal was prepared in the Two Rivers kitchens and served just down the hall in the Gallipeau Centre Ballroom. Guests toured the Hub’s facilities, including the various kitchens that it rents out to local food manufacturers who need to produce from a certified kitchen. Enloe gave a quick overview of Two Rivers services supporting the small farm agricultural community, including commercial kitchen rentals, a wholesale aggregation and distribution service, a weekly food box program,

Fallbrook-area resident stresses importance of supporting Wheels of Hope Gena Gibson

As Fallbrook’s Barrie Brennan went through 33 consecutive weekdays of radiation treatment for squamous cell carcinoma earlier this year, he saw firsthand the tremendous value of the local Canadian Cancer Society’s transportation service. Brennan spent time with at least 10 different drivers during his treatments at the General site of the Ottawa Hospital, the location of the Ottawa Regional Cancer Centre. He said the drivers, who were mainly from the Perth and Lanark areas, always accommodated him as he and his wife made the long journeys for the short radiation treatment. “It just takes the stress off of everything,” Brennan explained. Brennan said he joined the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville branch of the Canadian Cancer Society, and paid the $100 to begin the process of using volunteer drivers. “Which is nothing,” he said of the one-time registration fee. “It just gets you into the system.” He called the transportation program “a tremendous, tremendous service,” giving praise to the women in the local unit office in Perth for their work at organizing the program and finding drivers on a daily or weekly basis for many different clients. During the Wheels of Hope campaign this fall, which raises money for the local transportation service, Bren-

LET IT ROT!

About the Wheels of Hope Transportation Service The Canadian Cancer Society’s Wheels of Hope helps more than 119 clients throughout Lanark, Leeds and Grenville. Last year, the society’s volunteer drivers drove 292,524 kilometres, with each trip costing an average of just more than $60 due to the long distances travelled in eastern Ontario. The average cost of providing service to someone in our community

through treatment is $840. In 2014 the society provided support to 18 families who have a child with cancer through the Family Transportation Service. New patients who register with Wheels of Hope will be required to pay a one-time $100 registration fee. Children 18-years-old or under will not be charged. If you are unable to pay the full registration fee, you may be offered assistance through our compassionate program, which will be determined during the intake process. We are committed to ensuring that no patient is denied a ride due to their inability to pay the entire registration fee. If you would like to help get a local cancer patient to their cancer treat-

ments, you can donate to the Wheels of Hope online at cancer.ca/wheelsofhope and select Lanark, Leeds & Grenville from the drop-down menu or by calling 613-267-1058 or 1-800-367-2913.

nan stressed the importance of donations. “You can specify where you want (the donation) to go,” he noted. “They need it and they deserve it.” He said the drivers are all professional, with spotless cars and prompt service. “By the time you get out of there, you’re so stressed – it’s a stressful situation,” Brennan said. “They were a tremendous help.” “They’re not only a driver, but they’re your buddy for the afternoon.” He said despite the difficulties involved in driving to Ottawa for treatment every day, he gained respect for the volunteer drivers and what they do. “People would never believe what they do for you, and it was a tremendous experience for me,” he stressed, noting that everything from his February surgery to the hospital treatments to the drivers gave him a new appreciation for the services provided.

Child care conference highlights importance of creative environments Diane Bennett

On Oct. 24, the 12th Biennial Early Learning & Child Care Conference was held in Carleton Place serving 159 early learning and childcare professionals throughout Lanark County and the greater area. The keynote address by Martin Liberio, a registered Early Childhood Educator, gave a dynamic and entertaining presentation on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Making Amazing Experiences Happenâ&#x20AC;?. His presentation focused on early learning and childcare environments because he believes the â&#x20AC;&#x153;environmentâ&#x20AC;? is the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third teacher. (The childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first teacher is his/ her parents, the second teacher is his/ her caregiver and third teacher is his/ her learning environment).

Martin demonstrated that environments that are dull and sterile, random and chaotic, or that contain busy murals and visual images that appeal to adults have negative effects on childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development and identity. Martin believes that an early childhood environment is a place that children can call their own. He maintains that childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s environments should be creative, imaginative and made with care so that childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play experiences may be enriching and meaningful. Martin stated that children spend more waking time in early childhood programs and â&#x20AC;&#x153;they need to feel like they are in their own home away from home.â&#x20AC;? Diane Bennett is the Lanark County Raising the Bar co-ordinator and is also with Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Resources on Wheels.

The King returns for Christmas Dec. 5 at Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Studio Theatre On Saturday, Dec. 5, after the Santa Claus Parade, Studio Theatre Perth will once again host world famous tribute artist Gino Monopoli in Christmas With The King, his popular annual Christmas concert, showcasing Elvis

Presleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart-warming take on gospel, Christmas and seasonal pop music. For every minute of every show, Monopoli exudes the look, sound and animal magnetism of Elvis Presley, the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most recognizable

celebrity. Each show seems like a time warp; from the wildly gyrating kid playing hot southern juke joints, to the sophisticated worldfamous entertainer playing sold out Las Vegas show rooms. And the popularity of his performances is evidenced by the steady stream of bookings across Canada, the

US, Australia, Mexico and the Caribbean. Christmas was Elvisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; favourite time of year. Carols and gospel music held as much a place in his heart as his many million-selling hits. In his uplifting Christmas show, he captures what Elvis was all about; spending quality time

surrounded by family and friends. Enjoying the songs of the season made Elvis especially happy. And we take great pleasure in kicking off the Christmas season once again by bringing this wonderful, family-friendly show to Perth. Christmas With The King is produced by Merv Buchanan, for

The Studio Theatre and Trend Records Entertainment. Merry Christmas! Tickets are now on sale at Shadowfax, 67 Foster Street in Perth, 613-267-6817, or online, at www. shadowfax.on.ca. Submitted by Trend Records Entertainment.

Building a food mountain

e’re not quite at the point when we can say it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas (or the holidays, if you’d prefer), but signs of the upcoming season are becoming more evident every day. One of those early indicators is the return of the eighth annual Build A Mountain of Food campaign to support local food banks in Smiths Falls, Perth, Lanark Highlands, Almonte, Carleton Place, Merrickville, Westport, Portland, Elgin, Athens and Delta. Each year, this campaign has continually raised awareness on the issue of poverty in Lanark County and we’re sure this year will be no different. In order to up the ante, organizers are taking to social media with an extensive online campaign, it was announced during the Oct. 15 launch in Perth. At each stop along the campaign, video clips will be uploaded to Town and Country TV, a YouTube channel, to extend the reach of Build A Mountain of Food and help more local families. Videos will be uploaded regularly for the public to view and for individual food banks to link to their social media sites to drum up even more support. Unlike many other similar initiatives, residents in their respective communities can be assured that every item of food and each cash donation made in their

town, whether it be Almonte or Perth, stays there to support the Lanark County Food Bank or the Perth Good Food Bank. This Saturday, Nov. 7 and carrying through on each Saturday right until Dec. 12, volunteers will be out collecting donations at various retail outlets in the county. First up this Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. is Mitchell’s Your Independent Grocer, FreshCo and Giant Tiger in Carleton Place. On the same day in Almonte, volunteers will be at Patrice’s Your Independent Grocer. Other opportunities to donate include Perth on Nov. 14, Smiths Falls on Nov. 21, Westport and Elgin on Nov. 28, Portland and Merrickville on Dec. 5, finishing off with Athens and Delta on Dec. 12. It might still be several weeks away, but the imminent return of Santa Claus parades reminds us that Christmas is just around the corner. So when out doing your grocery shopping over the next few weeks, those of us who can afford to do it should consider contributing something in order to meet the growing needs of many of our neighbours who are struggling throughout the year. The holiday season can be especially challenging and stressful, which is why the programs that focus on Christmas and the concept of giving to others deserve, at the very least, our consideration.

Fall memories made with a few pennies and marshmallows Had I not gone to Briscoe’s General Store that day with Mother...a Saturday it was...we would not have had that wonderful fall evening out on the farm in Northcote. It all started when Mother was just about finished with gathering up the few things she needed and asking Mr. Briscoe to just put them on her bill. I had three of those very large brown pennies in my pocket and I was looking over the choices in the candy counter. But when I heard Mother ask Mr. Briscoe to add her purchases to her bill, I was overcome with a feeling of deep sadness. And so I reached into my pocket and took out the coins and handed them to Mr. Briscoe and asked him to please take them off Mother’s bill. He looked at the coins in his hand, and looked at Mother, who I thought was about to break into

tears. “I’ll tell you what I’ll do,” he said. “I’ll take three cents off you mother’s bill, and in exchange I’ll give you this bag of marshmallows.” We had never had marshmallows on the farm. After all, they would be considered shear luxury! I looked at Mother for approval, and she nodded. I ran to the buggy as fast as my legs could carry me and had to talk myself out of diving into the brown paper bag to eat a few on my way back to the farm. It was a beautiful fall day and when we pulled into the yard and

Everett came to unhitch Queenie off the buggy, Mother and I had to wade through the mounds of leaves fallen off the big maple tree to get to the back door. It was then Mother said she had this wonderful idea and it would be something the whole family could enjoy, and she grabbed the bag of marshmallows out of my hand and plunked it on top of the ice box. “We’ll all rake leaves today, and tonight, we’ll have a bonfire and we’ll roast the marshmallows.” Well, sharing my treat with everyone else certainly wasn’t in my plans, but the thought of a bonfire thrilled me no end! And so for the entire afternoon, using every rake we could find, including two Father used to rake out the manure in the barns, we five children and Mother, and even Father, mounded the fallen leaves into a crimson mountain,

overcome with such a feeling of happiness that I thought I just might explode. The marshmallows turned black on the outside, and the insides were just as I expected them to be: scorching hot and sweet like honey. Long after the brown paper bag was empty, we sat around the fire. The boys stretched out on the grass with their feet towards the burning leaves. Father with his back against the water trough, had lit his pipe, and I could see the red from its bowl, and a wisp of smoke from the tobacco he had tamped into it. We sat long after the fire had died down to just smoldering ashes. But no one moved to go into the house. The brothers

talked about things boys talked about back then, and Audrey and Mother sang familiar songs. I rested my head on my sister’s shoulder, and she put an arm around me, as she so often did. I looked up at the dark sky, and saw the warm glow of the coal oil lamp in the window in the kitchen, and the warmest feeling came over me. And I marveled at what simple joy and contentment you could get, out of only three big pennies. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Father circled the pile, and every few feet he lit a match and touched the leaves with its flame. Soon, the fire had caught, and the mound became a mass of burning leaves. My sister Audrey, Mother and I had skewered a marshmallow onto our sticks, but my three brothers chose to use the three-pronged forks they used to catch mudpout in the Bonnecherre.

Premise of letter ‘bemuses’ reader DEAR EDITOR:

I must confess I was somewhat bemused by the premise of a Letter to the Editor in your Oct. 29 edition. The headline, “‘Campaign of hate’ unfortunate to witness” certainly caught my attention. But when I read the letter, the ‘campaign of hate’ the writer was referring to was not, what was in my opinion, the Conservative party’s blatant attack on freedom of religion as practiced by a tiny portion of the members of a visible minority during the election. Oh, no. This campaign of hate was supposedly directed at poor Stephen Harper, a man with nothing but $54 million in party funds and the power of the highest office in the land to defend him. This campaign, according to our letter writer, was orchestrated by “the Liberal party and the media from all corners.” Clearly people who get all their information about politics from reading fundraising emails sent by Tory party headquarters tend to believe that kind of argument. That kind of us-againstthem mentality is what really motivates that solid, immov-

able 30 per cent base. But what are the facts? First of all, I would argue that the Liberal party ran the least negative campaign of any of the three major parties. It was not the Liberals who spent millions of dollars on advertising that focussed on their opponent’s hairstyle and called him by his first name, as if he were a nine-year-old child rather than leader of a national political party. And what of the media? I have always believed that the role of newspapers was to hold governments to account, not to unquestioningly parrot their press releases and talking points. Never in my lifetime have I seen, what I feel is such a secretive and undemocratic regime get such a free ride from the mainstream media in this country as I saw with the Harper government. I think back to the hammering Brian Mulroney took leading up to the watershed election of 1993, and I shake my head at how much has changed. I often see supporters of Harper and his government claiming he did a good job, without taking the time to list

any actual accomplishments after nine years in office. At the same time, they dismiss any criticism of this great man as being motivated by “hate,” and therefore irrational. Well, my friends, it is not hard to come up with a long or short list of reasons to vote for a non-Conservative candidate, none of which have anything to do with the personality or lack thereof, of the party leader. This was the only government in this country’s history to be found in contempt of Parliament. Harper’s hand-picked member of the House of Commons ethics committee was convicted of election fraud. Space does not permit me to go on forever, but to conclude: Harper ran on his record of economic accomplishment while presiding over two recessions and balancing one budget in eight years. If the Conservatives want to get on with the job of rebuilding a once proud and well-respected party, they need to stop playing the victim and take a hard look at the real reasons why people voted for change.

United Way Lanark County has been supporting Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County for more than 28 years. Over the last year they have served more than 515 children and youth in Lanark County and Smiths Falls, through programs such as traditional and in-school mentoring, Go Girls â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Healthy Bodies Healthy Minds, Game On!, JAMMMusic Mentoring, and after school programs. One of the best known and longest running programs at Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) is their traditional match program. In this program, Big Brothers, Big Sisters or Big Couples spend two to five hours a week with their Little doing things that they all enjoy. Big Brothers Big Sisters works hard to match children and adults who have similar interests. Nikki and Brittany are a great example of a traditional match. They have been matched for a few months now and are enjoying each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s company. Nikki and her Big Sister, Brittany, enjoy going to the park, playing on the monkey bars, going to the splash pad, making cupcakes and play dough together, and watching movies. Brittany had previously volunteered, but she was looking to â&#x20AC;&#x153;take more onâ&#x20AC;? and wanted to do something in Smiths Falls. She learned about the various volunteer opportunities and the process of becoming a mentor through the BBBS website (www.bigbrothersbigsisterslanark.ca) and made her decision. Brit-

Preparing for winter is my least favourite thing to do

Winter tires If you’re a smart Canadian – and we try to fit into that category – you have snow tires installed for the winter months. We wouldn’t be without them! The donning of snow tires means the

end of the summer road rubber, along with our nifty looking wheel covers. No point in having wheel covers on to get bashed and scrapped in the snow and ice. They are stored at the dealership for the winter, along with our all-weather radials. The car looks naked without those wheel covers. I don’t like the appearance. So, add another reason to the long list of “why I hate winter.” It’s a list that gets longer with every passing year. Best to be prepared though. Along with the snow tires our car’s coolant has been checked and we have a brand new battery in place for those colder than normal January mornings. Perhaps the only good thing about November is that we gained an hour of sleep Sunday morning. It’s Thursday now so I hope you have adjusted your clocks accordingly? Never mind that the time change means we lost an hour at the other end and it was pitch black by 5:45 p.m. Sunday evening. Personally I think the people in Saskatchewan have it right when it comes to the time. They never change. The folks in that Prairie province don’t have to worry about what, in sum total, is the relatively meaningless task of changing the clocks by one hour every fall and spring. Our daughter and her family live in Regina so they benefit from what I think is a bit of common sense. Another thing Canadians do as we prepare for winter is to think about those living elsewhere in our vast land, or in other countries that have it worse than us. I know I do. It makes me feel a little better somehow! Imagine living in Inuvik for example. The town in the Northwest Territories (NWT) is located 200 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle and just 100 km from the Arctic Ocean. The mean low temperature in Inuvik in summer is 8.6C. The frigid month of January in Inuvik features a mean high temperature of -22.8C. The mean low in January is a mind-numbing -31C. To me it is “mean” to make anyone live in Inuvik where, according to the weather statistics, freezing temperatures can occur in any month of the year. So, are you glad you live in this part of the country and not the NWT? I am. As darkness falls here in winter I sometimes think of our friends in Comrie, Scotland. It gets dark early here and the darkness lasts far too long. But consider what it is like in Comrie in winter. True, they don’t get much snow and although it is very damp, wet and cool the mercury normally nudges above zero (Celsius) most days. On the other hand imagine what it

must be like to go to work or school for 9 a.m. and still be driving or walking in the dark. In the Scottish Highlands sunrise during the dog days of winter occurs at approximately 9:15 a.m. And the sun has set by 3 o’clock in the afternoon. Therefore school children and the workforce arrive at their destinations in the dark and they arrive home in blackness.

How depressing! Scotland, you see, is located just that much farther north than we are here. So yes, those of us who live in Lanark County and eastern Ontario hold a slight winter advantage over the Scots too. Try and console yourself with that thought the next time you head out the door in the dark.

Unhappy tasks Preparing for winter also means chopping back and pulling plants, packing away the lawn, deck and garden furniture and draining and storing hoses and sprinklers. I readily admit to finding each of those tasks unpalatable. See MAGUIRE page 24

R0013534205_1105

What’s wrong with this picture? I saw a woman walking along downtown Bridge Street in Carleton Place early one morning last week. The mercury was hovering just above the zero mark and a stiff breeze was blowing. She was wearing a toque, a heavy (quilted) jacket, blue jeans and her hands were encased in gloves. On her feet she wore flip-flops. “Flip-flops, on a windy, chilly October morning,” I thought. “You’ve got to be kidding!” Okay, okay – I understand that Canadians in general are desperate to hang on to the last vestiges of the warm weather season. But flip-flops in October? No one should wear flip-flops anyway. They’re very bad for your feet. They must be murder to walk in at this time of year? In the cold weather the first part of me to get cold is my feet. So no, I can’t imagine walking with a thin slab of whatever flip-flops are made from on the bottom of my feet during our wind swept and cold fall season. I wouldn’t wear them anytime! Last night I observed a youngster in our subdivision who was taking the family dog for a walk. The lad was wearing shorts and a thin t-shirt. But not flip-flops fortunately. Still, it was bloody freezing. The wind was whistling along the boulevard. Kids are oblivious to frigid air for some unknown reason? It’s all part of the same syndrome. Canada is a four-season nation and Canadians pride themselves on how well they handle themselves during our all too lengthy winters. Scratch the surface and you will find that most of us detest the cold, snow and ice. Let’s be frank. Winter sucks! The proof is there for all to see. Who, other than Canadians, would wear flipflops, shorts and t-shirts in chilly October and November? Another sure sign is the rush to the travel agencies to book cruises and getaways to warm weather destinations. A friend of mine is a travel agent and this is her busiest time of the year, bar none! At the vanguard of the rush to escape winter are the so-called “Snowbirds.” Those of us, retirees mainly, who can afford to spend fall and winter in the relative warmth and comfort of Florida, Arizona and other southern United States locations. Mind you, with the loonie hovering around 75 cents there could be many more Canadians shivering in the cold this winter. Losing a quarter of your buying power is a significant blow. Just before I sat down to write this column I waved goodbye to my wife who was off to her day job. Our car looked oddly different. That’s because the previous day we had it in the service centre to be winterized.

MAGUIRE From page 24

Then there are the leaves. Those infernal things that look so nice when they are on trees and so terrible when they are blowing around your yard. At this time of year every time I open the front door leaves blow onto the landing or follow me, like magnets, when I unlock and enter the house.

www.cancer.ca

Have you noticed the leaves which blow into the vestibule are always in one big piece? But when you try to pick them up to toss them out the door they immediately disintegrate and fall into a thousand pieces. That necessitates yet another session with the vacuum cleaner. I wish someone could explain that little â&#x20AC;&#x153;quirk of natureâ&#x20AC;? to me? As we prepare for the inevitable arrival of winter and all the things we hate about living in Canada, my wife and I are sustained by the fact that we will soon be leaving for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;fall getawayâ&#x20AC;? in the northeastern United States. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re planning to visit Stowe, Vermont and Lake Placid, New York. Both are picturesque resort villages which are best known for the wonderful skiing afforded by Mount Mansfield at Stowe and Whiteface Mountain near Lake Placid, home to the downhill events during the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics. At this point in our lives Kathleen and I are not skiers and mid-November is certainly not ski season. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never traveled to either destination that late in the year and with winter just around the corner itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true that we are courting

trouble by driving through the Green Mountains of Vermont and the windswept Adirondack Mountains of northern New York. We covered the same general territory during a spring vacation in May. At that time snow was visible at the highest elevations of both mountain ranges and particularly on the ski runs. The middle of this month we could experience the first snowfall of the new season, meaning we will have seen the white stuff in Stowe and Lake Placid twice in one year. Given my previously stated aversion to winter it would take a psychologist to figure out why, exactly, I would embark on such an expedition in November? I can hear the sunny beaches of the Caribbean, the football fields of Florida and the gambling tables of Las Vegas calling. And yet we are planning to visit two of the coldest, snowiest places in eastern North America. I think winter numbs the brain somehow!

A new and shocking version of Robert Louis Stevensonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classic tale of depravity, lust, love and horror. It will be directed by Steve McWade. Director Sheila Jasiak brings Things My Mother Taught Me, by Katherine DiSavino to the stage from June 10-19. Funny and touching, this new comedy from the author of Nanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Naughty Knickers takes a generational look at relationships and how sometimes parents pass their best lessons onto their children without meaning to. Bridge to Terabithia, by Katherine Paterson & Stephanie S. Tolan, music by Steve Liebman is a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story supported by a lyrical score. It plays from Aug. 19-28. This powerful adaptation focuses the humour, warmth, and emotional intensity of Katherine Patersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Newberry Award winning novel. Directed by Lynda Daniluk.

In the fall, we present Out of Sight...Out of Murder, by Fred Carmichael. An author is grinding out a murder story in an old mansion where another writer was murdered years earlier. In this comical mystery, directed by Katharine Coleman, a weird electrical storm makes his characters come to life. The result is romance, suspense and comic wit. It will run from Oct. 14-23. Finally, an end of season Britishstyle pantomine, from Dec. 2-11, to keep the whole family laughing. Sleeping Beauty â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Panto by Ben Crocker brings loads of action for a busy chorus with two very sexy cats â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one good â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one bad! Emily Duberville directs the onstage fun in this great comedy that includes a hilarious musical routine.

A hilarious farce, a murder mystery, and a British pantomime from the pen of Ben Crocker â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just three of the plays in the exciting 2016 season announced by the board of directors of the Smiths Falls Community (SFCT). Along with a string of attractive offerings comes a change in the scheduling of plays: next season all plays will open on Friday nights, not Thursdays. And, like this year, there will be matinees on both Saturdays and Sundays for the family-oriented panto in December to expand the viewing opportunities for audiences young and old. The Fox on the Fairway, by Ken Ludwig, directed by Jamie Schoular, leads off the 2016 season. A tribute to the great English farces of the 1930s and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;40s, this play takes audiences on a hilarious romp which pulls the rug out from under the stuffy denizens of a private country club. The comedy runs from Feb. 19-28.

Council rejects anniversary timber picnic shelter for Stewart Park Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Laurie Weir/METROLAND

This creepy scene played out at CC’s on the Rideau in Rideau Ferry on Halloween night as ghouls and goblins gathered for a fundraising effort for the Lanark County United Way and the Youth Action Kommittee (YAK) of Perth. Here are Maddy Woodley, Christine Gosselin, Krista Beaupre and Barb Hitchins, while Chad Eve is in the back.

Fenik returns to mayor’s chair

Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

It wasn’t quite the return of the king, but John Fenik said that, after more than 11 weeks of running for election, the comfortable mayor’s chair never felt better. And Deputy Mayor John Gemmell, who covered Fenik’s duties as acting mayor since his absence began on Aug. 4, said that “I was rooting for you. Thank you for putting your name forward. Thank you for chasing your dream… maybe next time.” Fenik said that he knew that town hall was in good hands while he campaigned across LanarkFrontenac-Kingston as the New Democratic Party’s candidate for the Oct. 19 federal election. Coun. Ed McPherson, who was the acting deputy mayor, ﬁlling in for Gemmell, said that he believed that “the average person” does not appreciate what it takes to run for higher ofﬁce.

“I didn’t appreciate the amount of time and energy it would take,” Fenik admitted. During a municipal campaign, he can usually knock on every door in Perth within seven days. For the 78-day campaign, covering such a huge, geographic riding, Fenik said that the election was a 24/7 endurance test. When travelling to Kingston with his wife, he normally goes via Westport, but during the election race, “you have to get off the beaten track,” he said to visit smaller towns and villages. During these travels, he discovered some “beautiful” areas of our riding. While his feud with his Liberal opponent, Philippe Archambault, was well known before the start of the election, after seven debates – including one in Ottawa – “you get to know people pretty closely,” and he found that he got even closer to the eventual winner, Conservative Scott Reid. “Congratulations to Scott. He will do a good job for us,” said Fenik.

Perth town council has decided not to pursue a legacy timber frame picnic shelter in Stewart Park. Only Deputy Mayor John Gemmell voted in favour of looking at placing the structure in the park, with Mayor John Fenik, and councillors Jim Boldt, Riq Turner, Ed McPherson, and Jim Graff, voting against, during the Perth town council meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 27. The picnic shelter had originally been intended to be placed at the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Wilson Street, in front of the Perth pool. The shelter would have been placed beside ﬁve silhouettes honouring distinguished athletes from Perth and the surrounding area as part of the town’s 200th anniversary celebrations next year. However, the town was unable to secure an agreement with the Upper Canada District School Board, which owns the property, for the use. Staff then suggested that the silhouettes be placed at Conlon Farm, an appropriate sporting venue. As for the shelter, the town’s heritage advisory panel recommended against placing it in Stewart Park, and recommended Code’s Park instead. “To me, it does bring up a contentious issue,” said Graff, earlier in the meeting, referring to the heritage panel’s decision, since the Stewart Park land had been deeded to the town by the Stewart family with certain strings attached – such as no athletics being allowed, as it was intended to be kept as green space. The will also stated that there were to be no buildings on site, “only when necessary could a building be entertained on that property.” It had been suggested that the shelter could help shield people attending the Stewart Park Festival every July in case of rain, but “I don’t think that really is a good enough reason to change,” said Graff. “We really kept Stewart Park the way the

Stewart family intended it to be. Over the years, successive councils will probably be faced with a similar problem.” Further to this, “the music festival will only keep getting bigger and bigger.” Graff said he had “great faith” in the advisory panel’s decision, that Code’s Park, home to the Big Ben horse statue, is “more of a beneficial use, as far as they are concerned.” As for Stewart Park, “they are adamantly opposed” to the shelter going there. “I completely agree with you, councillor,” said Fenik. “The only things that should be there (in Stewart Park) are trees and flowers and grass and kites.” By allowing for a shelter “we are absolutely destroying the nature of what it was intended to be.” Coun. Jim Boldt also said that he too “agree totally with Coun. Graff. It will not add a lot of shelter if it rains.” Boldt sat on the Wilson Street beautification committee, and noted that the shelter was intended “to complement what was going to be… silhouettes of athletes. It was part of this whole design issue. I felt good about it going there, on Wilson.” However, the location has now changed, the silhouette element will be located elsewhere “and the cost is quite high. Having the new information… under the circumstances, even though we can legally put it there, I don’t think we should put it there.” Gemmell however defended the idea of placing it in Stewart Park. “We had a lawyer look at it,” and it passed muster, he said. “It is fitting for the time period,” in that it uses timber, and has no concrete floor. He also noted that the Millennium Gate near Mill Street was a similar new constructed addition to the park. “I do not see a problem,” said Gemmell. “I respect everybody’s opinion on this.” See TIMBER page P5

Jenna McParland has been donating her hair to children in need of wigs since she was seven. The 16-year-old Perth teenager has donated five times – that’s a lot of hair. It takes her about two years to grow the length needed to donate, which is about 16 inches. The hair is donated to organizations such as Angel Hair for Kids to enable them to make wigs for cancer patients. This year, Jenna decided that along with her hair donation, she would collect money to donate to a family who has been personally affected by cancer. The St. John Catholic High School student was moved by a recent speaker at the high school, Jillian O’Connor, who underwent chemotherapy for breast cancer while pregnant with her third child. In February, O’Connor gave birth to a healthy baby boy. McParland said she was so moved by O’Connor’s story that she wanted to collect money for the family. “As a mother I am extremely proud of what a beautiful and generous daughter she has become,” said Jenna’s mother, Tanya. “Thank you friends and family for your continued support and love.” Because of them, Jenna was able to raise $500.

Jenna was seven, nine, 11 and 13 when she made her previous hair donations. She has donated her hair to Angel Hair for Kids and Pantene Beautiful Lengths, which is another organization for wigs through the cancer society. This year, she will once again donate again to The Angel Hair for Kids. “Hearing and seeing Jillian’s story and the love of her children, really moved us,” said Tanya. “The choice to donate her hair to children was an easy (one).” Jenna’s aunt Susan McParland, who owns Salon 93 in Westport, has cut four of the five donations from Jenna. She did a wonderful job again on Friday, Oct. 30. She had so much hair, she had two pony tails to donate this time around. Jenna said that it is just a small gesture on her part, but if it could bring a smile to someone who may not be smiling a lot in their life, then it makes it worth while. “She is my hero,” said her mom. “So brave, loving caring and strong!”

This breast cancer fundraiser really rocked!

Photo courtesy Bruce Raby

On Saturday, Oct. 24, local rock and roll band, The Shambles, hosted a fundraiser for breast cancer research and the Wheels of Hope program at the Perth Legion. Lanark’s Theresa Scott warmed up the crowd of 150, before The Shambles took over with vintage Roy Orbison, Beatles, Eagles and lots more. Area merchants and individuals donated countless items for door prizes and a silent auction, and when all proceeds from ticket sales, the silent auction and other donations were totalled, the evening had raised more than $5,100 for the cause. Pictured here are (left to right) Shambles’ bassist Chris Cook, drummer Paul Roach, lead guitarist Ted Hunt, Canadian Cancer Society’s Anita Carley, guitarist/keyboardist Allan Temple, and singer Paul Joyce. The Shambles and the Cancer Society appreciate the support they received. Connected to Your Community - P4 - Thursday, November 5, 2015

first Lodge was the civil service Lodge, which sent a representative to congratulate Clark that night. “You are a man of my admiration,” said Green at the ceremony, for “quietly and modestly moving through the sphere of his life, without reward,” he said. And yet, even without much recognition, Clark still went “beyond the call,” of service

to his fellow man, making a “significant contribution to the greater good.” He called Clark, “somebody that you can count on at any time.” Green noted that the Grand Lodge would only be giving out this “most prestigious” medal five times across their 540 Lodges this year, “an elite group of brethren.” Clark thanked his family for their support and his brother Masons as well.

Religious Services St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, at 1 Drummond St. W., will be holding a Remembrance Day service from 10:40 to 11 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 8. Meanwhile, at St. John Catholic High School, 2066 Scotch Line Rd., Jeff Peters’ Grade 12 history class will remember the fallen during a Remembrance Day ceremony on Nov. 11. A veteran of the Afghanistan mission is scheduled to be the keynote speaker. Students will be selling Soldier On bracelets for $2, with all proceeds going to war veterans.

Coun. Riq Turner agreed with Gemmell – in so far as agreeing to disagree. “We are putting a shelter somewhere because we decided that we are putting up a shelter,” said Turner. “Why are we putting up a shelter?” Fenik wondered if, say, a new stone bridge

“We saw it (the rocky ramp option) as a lower, cost-effective option,” said Turner. “If we had had correct numbers, would we have made the same decision?” Fenik surmised that part of the reason for the rise in costs was because it was a public works project involving water, and “whenever we touch anything that has to do with water, the price goes up.”

across the Little Tay, or rebuilding an existing one, might not be a more appropriate use of taxpayer money, and be more in keeping with the park’s design and feel. However, Gemmell reiterated that there were problems with Code’s Park, with narrowness of the park between lower Wilson Street and the Little Tay, and the Big Ben statue making it “very crowded. Where would be most suitable

between the street and Code’s Park?” McPherson added to the queries, wondering what, if anything, was being permanently constructed to commemorate the town’s 200th anniversary.

The town’s environmental services director, Grant Machan, said that while they were able to secure local rocks, it was not simply a matter of loading up a bunch of rocks into the back of a truck, running them over to Mill Street and dumping them. The rocks have to be transported properly, and have to be placed properly in the river for maximum environmental efficiency. “Yes, we may be over budget on this com-

ponent,” said Machan. On Friday, Oct. 30, Machan reported that the RVCA would be conducting fish harvesting along the Little Tay with two biologists helping to move the fish along to the main river. Machan also reported that, with the heavy equipment on site during the upcoming work on the river, large logs lodged along the Tay could be removed. “The water levels are low enough to walk out and clean it,” said Machan.

“We’ve got a blank canvas,” said Fenik. “Our hands are not tied…there is a whole panacea of things we can do.”

Words from the President

“This is a sombre time of year when one’s personal thoughts revisit the past, and thoughts of departed friends, comrades and family invade the mind. The main focus is on dear departed persons who have given their all in a time of war in order that we, who are here and now, are able to enjoy better times. One must always remember our dearly departed but no matter how much thought is given, one cannot envisage or experience just what a past friend has faced in order to ensure that we may live in comparative peace in this turbulent world. At this time of the year, on behalf of all Veterans may I offer you the the hope that all things will improve, but we must always remember.

Fire chief contract extended for Lanark MNRF cancels district deer hunter surveys Highlands’ Cameron Morehouse Lanark Highlands council recently announced that fire Chief Cameron Morehouse’s contract has been extended for a one year term to November 2016. Morehouse will be working as the full time fire chief in Lanark Highlands starting Nov. 9. The contract has provisions that will allow the township the flexibility to meet our on-going needs and assess the possibility of sharing his services with another municipality – a common practice for small municipalities. Council is committed to holding a formal competition for the selec-

tion of a permanent fire chief in September of 2016. Morehouse is qualified with 17 years of progressive management experience and over 18 years of fire-fighting experience. He is also a current member of the Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs. He will provide the necessary leadership and stability to the fire department and will provide valuable input into the selection of a new fire/waste administrative assistant. This one-year period will continue to provide Morehouse with the opportunity to assess the firefighters’ qualifications and training

requirements, review the organizational structure of the fire department and evaluate the need to update equipment. The completion of this work will provide a framework for the operation of the fire department and will ensure that our volunteer firefighters are well positioned to continue to deliver safe, effective and affordable fire services. Council and the CAO/clerk believe that extending the fire chief’s contract in the short term is in the best interest of the municipality and its fire services. Submitted by Lanark Highlands Township

Spaghetti, with a side of glass?

’ve been thinking a lot about food lately. (Lately?) Maybe it’s because the weather is cooler and we’re back to baking, roasting and slow-cooking complete with all those lovely stews and pastas and soups and saucy roasted thingies. Or maybe it’s because I’m constantly stumbling across awesome-looking recipes in magazines and online. Facebook and Twitter are polluted with culinary temptations. So you’d think a girl like me with all the time in the world (sarcasm alert) and an endless supply of inspiration would constantly be creating and trying new family favourites, right? Wrong. Let’s back up and remove the sarcasm from the above equation. What we’re left with is loads of “inspiration” minus “time.” Add “picky eaters” and the total equals a “defeated cook.” In our abode we often fall back upon a repertoire of trusted staples, which I think gets a little dull, but if I make something new that isn’t beloved by most then there’s only so many leftovers I can manage to consume on my own. It’s getting harder and harder to keep track of who likes what on which day. When the kids were small, my brain was filled with myriad tiny details about food preferences and favourite bedtime songs and routines. Eventually, the onboard computer started to protest the influx of minutiae that constantly assailed it. In addition to the food details came the need to remember how to do Grade 4 math and keep track of who needed to be shuttled where and in what gear, not to mention which cat needed what food or medication and – oh yeah – my own various work-related details and such. So whenever a new fact arrived, it’s not surprising that an old one oozed out of my brain to make room. Names were the first to go. Forgive me. On the food front, I was finding that when I tried something new, at least one of the four of us wouldn’t like it. (Usually not me. I’ll eat pretty much anything, especially if someone else makes it.) Do you think I could remember who liked what, though? My brain would remember that 75 per cent of the people approved, forgetting about whoever the naysayer was. (You might call this “denial.”) That means if I tried it a second time, someone would be unhappy. (Unanimous approval is a rarity around here.)

Past Deadline

For years, one of our house rules was that you have to try something at least 10 times before you can truly claim to dislike it. That worked when the kids were smaller, but they apparently have developed actual personalities and palates – not to mention malarkey monitors – so I usually give up after a couple of tries…assuming I remember (see above). Also, adults are pretty much completely exempt from the 10-times rule because after a bunch of decades we have developed relatively rigid likes and dislikes and can articulate them. (Have I mentioned I’ll eat pretty much anything?) If it weren’t for the fact people keep showing up for meals and no one has stepped up to take over kitchen duties to save themselves, I would suspect I may be a terrible cook. I’m pretty sure I’m not, though. When I’m baking and cooking, I often think of my late grandmothers, who both taught me a lot and left a legacy of family recipes. I also remember how, when they got older, they found it harder to cook – partly because they struggled with preparing smaller portion sizes and also because they had run out of gas for coming up with meal ideas. I can relate to that last part…40 years too soon. There’s a balance to be found between making the family try new things – whether it’s once, twice or 10 times – and becoming a one-woman, extra-large garbage disposal unit in order to avoid wasting piles of food. “Okay, kids. You can have KD tonight. I’m going to have this delicious chicken and white bean stew for the fourth time in a row.” (Nice girl. Always cleans her plate… and everyone else’s, too.) In an interesting ironic twist (or coincidence or bad luck), it seems even the unanimous favourites are not safe. Just as I was ﬁnishing this column and waiting for spaghetti (with my Nan’s sauce recipe) to cook, I managed to smash a water glass and sent shards ﬂying all over the kitchen. Sigh. Take out scores. There is no winning this cooking game.

ome Fritzie. Ve skip. Ve jump.” It was likely sometime after the summer of 1958. My mother would have only been 11 years old, looking out the window of her house in Dublin, Ireland. She didn’t know it at the time, but a bit of history was walking past her door – walking a tiny dog. The lady was very old. My mother surmised that she was probably an old countess or some such royalty from Hungary, the accent being a dead giveaway in then-homogenous Ireland. It had been all over the Evening Press that Ireland would be taking in 350 refugees after the Hungarian Revolution. The old lady shufﬂed slowly down Beaumont Avenue, trying to force some levity into her voice, shaking the leash of one of the few possessions she had been able to bring with her, a wee dog. It was one of those stories my mother told only once, making me feel that it was more likely to be true, shorn of her usual bluster, blarney and malarkey. In 1956, the Hungarian people rose up against Soviet occupation. Russian troops were asked to leave – and they

DESMOND DEVOY Des Says did so (if only it were that simple in eastern Ukraine today.) Democracy was declared. Freedom of religion restored. For a short time, there was blissful freedom. Then the Hungarians may have gone one step too far. They wanted to leave the Warsaw Pact. Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev was having none of it, and Soviet troops ﬂooded back into Hungary. According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees website, Ireland housed the refugees at an Irish Army camp in Meelick, County Clare, north of Limerick City. They did so at very short notice. The refugees ended up staying there for about two years before being allowed to relocate. This story was brought to mind recently when I received a phone call here

at the ofﬁce. I had covered one of the inaugural meetings of a citizens committee in Perth that had met at McMartin House, early last month, to discuss how to facilitate the sponsorship of Syrian refugees. Last week, in The Courier, we ran a submitted article from Father Brian McNally and the work he and his parish are doing to complement this work, with their own refugee committee. People from all faiths and walks of life, coming together, pooling their resources and knowledge, to help their fellow man, in a time of desperate need. Or, at least that’s how I and most other people saw it. The call this particular afternoon though had a bite to it, and edge. As the woman on the other end of the line continued to talk, my heart started to sink. I hoped that it wasn’t what I thought it was. Sadly, it was. At ﬁrst, I thought she was looking for some information on one or both of the aforementioned committees, perhaps wanting to offer her services. She

seemed to have that clipped, “they don’t know what they’re getting themselves into,” cadence of a refugee lawyer who, though somewhat condescending, saw through the articles that they were overlooking a seemingly small step that would trip them up months down the road, some i that had not been dotted, or t that had not been crossed. If only it had been that easy. After I gave her the contact details, she began to express concerns about Canada accepting any refugees. She asked me if I was in front of my computer. I was, and she asked me to Google, “Sweden + Muslim + rape crisis.” Yes, it was one of those calls. And it just got worse from there. I’ll paraphrase hereafter, but essentially, she said no one will be safe if we let these Syrians in. What got me was that what she said would have been laughable if it were not so clearly full of hate… especially this bit: that these Syrians would come here and take our jobs, and that they were going to come here and all go on welfare. Well, which is it? You can’t lounge around on the dole AND steal jobs from hard-working Canadians. I let her talk. I could hear my mother say, “Let her give herself enough rope to hang herself.” My wife, who works in my office, saw the expression on my face and came over, her hands on my shoulders. I let her talk her intellectual garbage (Toronto Muslims want to impose sharia law, halal meat is torture, Islamic State militants are infiltrating the swelling ranks of refugees) and then very calmly told her that what I was about to say next was not being spoken in my capacity as a reporter for my newspaper. This time, it was personal. “Boy, did she pick the wrong reporter to call,” said my news editor afterwards. And how. I started off slowly by explaining

that my parents were immigrants. They left Ireland as, essentially, economic refugees, because the country’s economy was tanking in the late 1960s due to The Troubles in the north. My sister was born in England. My parents, upon arriving in Canada, walked all the way up Hastings Avenue in Vancouver in the morning, and all the way down the other side in the afternoon, looking for work. My father worked in whatever job he could get – pumping gas, dealing with fish in a cannery, later working in a bottle factory, and then getting his big break, a job with Air Canada. A Scottish couple, a department store manager from Donegal, and even a Mennonite family, all helped my parents in their time of need. My father still has the bible the Mennonite man gave him when he left British Columbia, with certain passages underlined for guidance to help my father on his way. Then I started to get really angry – righteous anger. If ever I was justified in getting angry, now was the time. My ex-brother-in-law came to Canada from Afghanistan as a refugee. He’s not perfect (that’s why he’s my ex-brother-in-law), but he came to this country, opened an Afghan rug shop, and has run several businesses over the years. But, I can grant that he is a good father to his three children – my two nieces and my nephew. Now I went into high drive. They were talking about three great little kids – all Muslims and just as Canadian as she purported to be. A hiccup of history and they could have been born in Afghanistan. But they are here, and they are us. “They are going to make this country better,” I said. My eldest niece Sarah is doing placements at the Joseph Brant Hospital in Burlington, Ont., in the hopes of becoming a doctor. There is a photo of her sister, Miriam, as a baby, being held by then-prime minister, Paul Martin. She’ll be prime minister herself one day. Bombastic, I know, but it is my

prerogative as a proud uncle to say that. As for my nephew, Bilal will become a great engineer or architect – joining in the industry of his relatives in Ireland. “She’ll save lives,” I said of Sarah. The woman on the phone was starting to back-peddle now, trying to interject, to say that, no, that’s not what she meant. I wasn’t done. “You’ve had your say,” I said. “Now I’m going to hang up the phone.” I slammed it down. My wife got me some tea to calm me down. On Halloween night, in between handing out candy to trick-ortreaters, I read something from an unlikely source that helped me put things in perspective. Basketball superstar Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, writing in the Sept. 27 edition of Parade magazine (yes, the magazine belittled by The Family Guy) stated that “prejudice is built on misinformation and faulty thinking.” A long-time Sherlock Holmes fan, and a victim of prejudice himself, “I naturally appreciated Holmes’ insistence on logic and facts as the wisest means to form opinions. If we all thought like Holmes, I reasoned, the world would be free of prejudice.” Couldn’t have put it better myself. And as for refugees, I know a thing or two about them. One of the best summers of my life was spent in Ireland in 2001, on a work placement at The Clare Champion. I worked alongside sub-editor Martina Scanlan on a feature on refugees living in the Banner County. For years, there had only been out-migration from Ireland. The number of people coming into Ireland measured in the double digits. Then suddenly, almost overnight, as the Celtic Tiger grew Ireland’s economy, the immigration numbers tripled, then quadrupled. Thousands were coming to Ireland, in a country that had never really known inward migration. There were, to be sure, some adjustments that needed to be made. There was a great influx of Ni-

gerian refugees, and I spoke with one of them, a man who, though barred from working, volunteered on Clare FM to host a half-hour show of African music for the new community that had just popped up in town. Clare FM never sounded so exotic, but it was likely music to their ears – literally. I asked the man what he liked most about living in Ireland. His answer startled me. He said that he liked being able to walk down the street and not have to constantly look over his shoulder for fear of being stabbed. But the most emotional moment came when I met a young family who had fled Nigeria. The father worked at Shannon Cable and Wireless in Limerick, the mother volunteered at her children’s school. Their son even had an Irish accent! And why did they leave? The mother’s family believed in the barbaric practice of female circumcision, essentially, genital mutilation. I won’t go into the details, but it’s a horrific practice still carried out in parts of Africa today. I have two daughters now, and the memory of that interview makes me shudder. In Ireland this family was safe. And grateful. Canada does the same. I know. Every day I am grateful to this country and for all it has done for my family. My father has written frequently in these pages about the joy he took in becoming a Canadian citizen in 2013, and all this country has given him. Now, does this mean that we throw open wide the gates and let all and sundry in? No, clearly not. As I told the woman, and very forcefully at that, my parents had to jump through a lot of hoops and background checks to get into Canada. It’s not a free-for-all. Yes, we need to be careful. I can countenance realistic questions like where will these refugees live? Can our school system absorb so many new kids? Practical questions, yes, that will make their arrival more smoothly for everyone involved, us and them. Desmond Devoy/ METROLAND

But as we have seen following the debate on the Quebec Charter of Values, these people are us. We are them. People with minds warped by hate see only the differences. But look within your heart, their heart, and see the shared humanity. And in years to come, when you are lying in a gurney in a hospital, you’ll hear the gentle padded footsteps of a doctor in the hall. A coffeecoloured face will appear at your bed-side, her face a halo

of flowing black hair, followed by a smile. Holding her clipboard, the doctor will make some small talk, ask you how you are feeling, and will really listen. She’ll take your temperature and, most importantly, make you feel better. That’ll be Dr. Wahidi doing her rounds. Daughter of immigrants. Daughter of a refugee. A woman. A Muslim. A Canadian. And the woman who may save your life one day.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

Kind people found in Perth: Reader DEAR EDITOR:

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

Does Justin Trudeau Wear Short or Long Pants? Congratulations to Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister Elect of Canada. He’s young, handsome, carries a famous name, demonstrated he has an ear for what the public is clamoring for, and now has the most vital weapon of all, power. But will he deny democracy to the majority of Canadians who elected him? Or ignore the will of the Supreme Court of Canada? Soon we will know whether Justin Trudeau wears knickers or long pants. Trudeau, in his victory speech, Dr. Gifford-Jones fired a salvo when he uttered the words Abraham Lincoln delivered on the eve of the U.S. Civil War. Lincoln worried that leaders needed to appeal to the “better angels of our nature”. But will Trudeau, on the contrary, use devilish political tactics that appeal to a vocal minority, the very thing he allegedly opposes? In the largest survey of its kind in Canada to determine if Canadians should be granted the constitutional right to assisted death, the result was overwhelming. 80 percent of those who said they were Christians and 83 percent of Catholics believe that doctors should be permitted to help terminally ill patients end their lives. Equally important, 57 percent of those surveyed said they had watched someone suffer a terrible death. Of this group, 85 percent supported assisted dying. And 85 percent of disabled people were in favour of assisted death. A lawyer citing these statistics would convince a jury the case is closed. So would Trudeau’s “better angels of our nature”. I have a deep, personal interest in this matter, so I hope Justin Trudeau’s angels win the day. Years ago, the Gifford-Jones Foundation donated $500,000 to the University of Toronto Medical School to establish the W. Gifford-Jones Professorship in Pain Control and Palliative care. In the interim, more doctors have been trained to relieve suffering. But I and the angels know that there comes a time when even the best of palliative care cannot ease all agony. In February, 2015, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that assisted death should be an option for those grievously and terminally ill and who wished to end their suffering with the help of a physician. So what did the Harper government do? The consulting panel for implementation was stacked with members who oppose assisted death. It’s like putting the fox in charge of the hens, an inhumane despicable act for those crying out for help to end their suffering. Good sense should tell Trudeau that the majority of those who elected him have already given him an overpowering mandate to allow assisted death. And that there is no need to waste millions of dollars of tax payers dollars on more time-consuming surveys while people die in misery. Hopefully, Trudeau and his good angels will also realize that surveys reveal a highly vocal minority, paid administrators (who don’t want to lose their jobs), who continue to shout to High Heaven that the devil will take over and innocent people will be killed by overzealous physicians. What a lie, when the majority of doctors, to their eternal shame, have declared they oppose assisted death. Their role is to end suffering. So, will the Prime Minister Elect begin the day by putting on short knickers or long pants? If it’s long pants, he’ll quickly disband Harper’s fox laden committee, and tell his fellow parliamentarians to immediately enact the law allowing assisted death. This would bring Canada into line with the many nations who allow this humanitarian act. Studies from the United States and other countries that allow assisted death show that relatively few with terminal illness ask for it. But it is comforting to know it’s available. I have stated repeatedly that those who oppose assisted death have every right to end or prolong their lives in whatever way they wish. A study should be done to see how many cry for help when excruciating pain strikes. But I have always believed it irrational and inhumane to allow human suffering when none of us would allow a beloved dog to die in agony. It’s high time for Trudeau and his good angels to end this great injustice. R0013535430_1105

Timeless classic, ‘The Pirates of Penzance’ back in Perth

Gilbert and Sullivan’s musical comedy classic ‘The Pirates of Penzance’ will once again grace the stage of the Mason auditorium as this year’s offering from Perth Community Choir. The quirky tale of a young man mistakenly indentured to pirates has something for everyone. From strange coincidences, paradoxes, true love and, of course, duty, this show will keep you laughing and singing along from beginning to end. After last year’s exciting production of ‘Oliver!’, Perth Community Choir is happy to welcome back many cast members, both new and experienced. The show brings the team that put together 2013’s ‘The Secret Garden’: director Kristy Tait-Angel, musical director Don McKay and choral director Erin Morel-Rowe. “Every time we rehearse, I am surprised by something new and funny that I missed the last time we worked”, says Kristy. “This show is so much fun, and I love that there is something for everyone to enjoy. There is lots of dancing and singing; and the show is energetic, which makes it a great choice for a family. On the other hand, it’s a classic with a beautiful score and a smart story line full of witty word play.” Along with wonderful songs, energetic choreography and silly plot twists, PCC is again blessed with a talented orchestra and cast.

Through my clinical experience, I believe every young athlete should seek out a chiropractor who is specifically trained to assess the health of their nervous system before training camp and throughout the season of their specific sport.

Chiropractic care helps an athlete by removing the interference to the nervous system, through a program of care designed specifically to each athlete and their sport.

PERTH-UPON-TAY BRANCH 244 THE ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION 26 Beckwith Street East, Perth, Ontario K7H 1B5 To the Citizens of the Community of Perth Subject: 2-minute Wave of Silence – 11 November 2015

In recent years, the members of The Royal Canadian Legion have asked the towns and cities, schools, businesses and churches, and citizens of Canada to stop for two minutes at 11:00 a.m. on Remembrance Day and pay special tribute to the more than 130,000 Canadians who have given their lives in war to serve Canada, keeping in mind that our men and women continue to put their lives in harm’s way in the pursuit of freedom, not only at home, but also in far-flung lands. The Silence begins in Newfoundland and sweeps across our country like a wave as the clock strikes 11:00 a.m. in each Time Zone on Remembrance Day. The “Wave of Silence” has received resounding support from Canadians in all parts of Canada. In previous years, trains have stopped, factory workers have paused and school children have participated in record numbers in remembering the heroic sacrifices of the men and women who went to war in the 20th Century and continue to do so in this 21st Century. We ask for your support for this year’s “2-Minute Wave of Silence”. We urge all businesses and establishments to encourage their staff and clients, the students and neighbours of the Town of Perth to participate and thus sustain the momentum achieved in the observance of Remembrance and in the special tribute paid to the men and women to whom we, as Canadians, owe so much. Thank you in advance for your support in helping to make the “2-Minute Wave of Silence” a continuing tradition of Remembrance in the Community of Perth. Yours, in comradeship, Memoriam eorum Retinibimus Not for self, but for others We will remember them Lest We Forget Lest We Forget Lest We Forget

From page P14

Nortel went down… I couldn’t find a job in my field.” At this time, while Nortel was not returning any applicants’ calls, so to speak, Dormeus was hearing another call – one he had first heard as a child, but which was speaking more loudly to him now. “I was already feeling God’s call,” he said. Atheists, like Richard Dawkins, use science to disprove the existence of God, or to debunk religious belief. But for Dormeus, well versed in both spiritual and scientific education, “I think they complement each other. I think humans are a spiritual being, but they are also a rational being. We are both rational and spiritual. We can be believers and scientists.” While science can explain many things, “there are things we cannot explain scientifically. God is the creator. He is beyond what we have.” Religious education His path led him to yet another school in Montreal. Acadia University, based in Wolfville, N.S., had a spin-off campus in Montreal, a faculty of evangelical theology, and “I took many classes there.” During his time at the school on Hamelin

Avenue, he began to realize that “this is really what I want to do with my life.” But while he was learning both about theoretical concepts of spirituality, and the mechanics of electronics, he was also facing another very real construct – life after graduation. It had been his original intention, and that of his parents, that “I will be able to get a job and make money and have status and help my family.” But at the faculty, he had to be honest with himself: “I am doing this for me.” After graduation, he did customer service work, before again returning to school, this time to Emmanuel Bible College in Kitchener, Ont. After his time in Kitchener, he moved back to Montreal for two years, and “I reflected on myself.” During this time, he joined a prayer group that met on Friday nights. “We would read and pray and do some bible study together,” he said, before going out socially on Saturday nights to enjoy more secular time together. Once again, “this feeling started to come back in a stronger way,” of being called to the ministry. “What I needed was to be alone.” At home, he was also getting pressure from his parents to find more steady employment, so, he

applied to be a language assistant. He was sent to Sudbury, Ont., to improve his English, a town, he admits, “where I didn’t want to go. I thought there were igloos there!” he said with a laugh. But he went anyway. The northland turned out to be just where he needed to be to do some much-needed soulsearching. “I had a lot of time with God to reflect,” he said. In Sudbury, he helped teachers teach French while he was working at schools there. He even seriously considered becoming a teacher himself. While some Christians only ever darken the doorway of a church at Christmas and Easter – and sometimes not even then – Dormeus took to churchgoing as though he were making up for lost time. While Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest for Christians, he attended three churches most weekends. He went to Knox Presbyterian in the morning, then The Samaritan Centre downtown, and rounded off the day by attending Glad Tidings Pentecostal Church in the afternoon. “I was on a mission, somehow,” he said. “That is why Sudbury has a place in my heart… It is where I have completely yielded my life to ministry to God. I began to see how many doors began to open for me.”

AWARD WINNING Black River Cheese Company FINE ARTISAN CHEESE Sets New Record PICTON, ON - It’s the season of Fall Fairs and competitions and, this year, The Black River Cheese Company is setting a new level of achievement and standard for great cheese. Winning in three categories for its Mild, Medium and 2 Year Aged Cheddars, its Marble cheese (a combination of cheddar and mozzarella), as well as in the Variety Cheese category with its Mozzarella, the company set its newest record of 1st place ribbons for any one event. In fact, the ºcompany not only won first place wins for its cheese, but also for Best Display as well as for Best Finished cheese and being the Highest Scoring participant in the event - no small feat.

Having won numerous awards over the past 114 years, including at the Canadian Grand Prix Cheese Competition, the company is no stranger to awards but this was a new company record. With such a prestigious number of 1st place awards at the Belleville Fall Fair’s Annual Cheese Competition, General Manager and Master Cheese Maker, Doug Peters commented, “Our success at this regional event attests to our company and staff’s dedication to produce cheese that sets the highest standard when it comes to great tasting, quality fine cheese.

Windsor beckons After graduation he applied to be the minister at the First Baptist Church in Windsor, Ont. He can still remember the day he got the phone call from the chair of the search committee – May 20, 2011. “This was great news for me,” he said. “I had so much tears coming out of my eyes.” He arrived in Windsor at the end of June, and delivered his first “message” on July 4, 2011. His English was not as strong as it is now, so, “I guess they were patient with me.” He had more reason to celebrate when his non-church-going father attended his son’s ordination service in Windsor. However, since he had to preach in English, a family friend provided simultaneous translation in French for his parents. While it had been a long road for him, it had been a long road for his father, too. “At first, my mum was more supportive,” said Dormeus. “She used to pray a lot for me. My dad, he was very resistant to me going

into ministry,” voicing concerns about him being able to make a living. “As he saw my progress… I think he became convinced that I was in the right path. He became supportive. Now he even encourages me.” He also provides his son with advice, when it is solicited. He was discussing pastoral problems he was having in Windsor, on the phone, when his father said, “nothing is easy. Be patient.” He served in the southwest of Ontario for four years, before being hired on for the Perth congregation. “I’m shy when I come to a new environment,” said Dormeus. “I’m more comfortable now. I joke around.” He added that, by the time of his seventh or eighth time listening to his sermon, “you don’t hear my accent any more.” Spirit of Haiti Interestingly for a pastor, “my dad does not go to church. He prays. Sometimes he reads the bible. He did not prevent us from going (to church)… He goes his own way. God is doing some work in his life.” Back in Haiti, and to a lesser extent, Montreal’s Haitian community, there is an element of spiritual life that is unique to

pretty much any other culture in the western hemisphere, a belief system almost synonymous with Haiti itself – voodoo. “I have heard about that,” said Dormeus. “It (voodoo) is very common. You hear of those things every day if you are in Haiti. It is there all the time. It is part of the culture. For some people, it is a religion. (But) for Christians, it is evil. It is Satanic. It is idolatry. It is playing with Satan.” This has lead to conflict within Haitian society itself. “Christians in Haiti are against (voodoo). There is a huge tension,” he said. After the massive earthquake that hit Haiti in January of 2010, the U.S. televangelist Pat Robertson tried to equate the natural disaster to some Haitians’ adherence to voodoo, even going so far as to say that Haitians had, essentially, done a deal with the devil in 1804, when African slaves successfully rebelled against their French colonial masters and declared independence. Some give credit to adherents of voodoo, as a tool of resistance – something Dormeus does not see himself. “People will always give credit to the voodoo religion for the rebellion,” he said, though he did not feel that this credit was deserved.

Country Western Jamboree to benefit Kidney Foundation of Canada tgesner@perfprint.ca

Howdy, folks! It’s time to get out your cowboy hats and pull on your boots for a day of country classic entertainment in Carleton Place on Sunday, Nov. 15. A Country Western Jamboree takes place in the upper hall of the Neelin Street Community Centre (arena), running from 2 to 7 p.m., and features the music of Harry Adrain, Cheryl Adrain-Dermann, Andy and Ed Bowes, Dave Brown, George Chenier Sr., Freddy Dixon, Wade Foster, Henry Norwood, Neville Wells and more. The aim of the event is to raise money for the Kidney Foundation of Canada, which exists for the improvement of kidney health and the lessening and, if possible, the elimination of the burden of kidney diseases. The driving forces behind a Country Western Jamboree are local residents Brian and Sue Tysick, along with Bob White and Charlie Kitts. White is the senior facilities operator with the town’s recreation and culture department, and Kitts – from Almonte, who will be playing the role of master of ceremonies, is a 2010 Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame inductee. Brian and Sue have lived in Carleton Place for 25 years, and nearly five years ago Brian’s kidneys stopped working. “Actually, I was born with only one functioning kidney,” he said, “but I didn’t know it until the other one stopped working.” Three days a week the couple leave their home at 4 a.m. so they can be at the Ottawa Hospital’s Civic Campus for 6:30 a.m., for Brian’s dialysis treatment. “It’s not a pleasant ordeal to go through, but the nurses and the staff at the hospital make it a lot more bearable,” Brian said. “They are excellent people.” When the kidneys don’t work properly, harmful toxins build up in the body. Too, blood pressure can rise and fluid can collect in the body’s tissues, which leads to painful swelling. “Dialysis is saving my life,” Brian said, “and I can’t miss one day.” “Even if I’m sick I need to drive him,” Sue said, “and in all types of weather.” Brian, 65, constantly worries about his wife, if something were to happen to him. “Although it’s stressful, I need to plan for her, for when I’m gone,” he added.

Because the couple is on Canada pension their funds are quite limited. Luckily, the Ontario Disability Support Program assists the family with the cost of gas. Members of the local Civitan club, for a long time Brian and Sue talked about doing a fundraiser to benefit the Kidney Foundation of Canada; however, they didn’t know where to start. “It was Heather and Ron Legge from the club who put us in touch with Bob and Charlie,” Brian said. “We first spoke in December 2014,” White said, “and then I sat down with Andy and John (Bowes), wondering when it would be a good time to hold an event like this.” “We picked November because it was the tail end of hunting season,” he continued, “and it was far enough away from the harvest and

Christmas shows.” Utilizing the same format as the annual Ron McMunn Country Music Heart Jam, each of the 10 plus musicians will perform 20-minute sets during a Country Western Jamboree. John is handling the sound for the production. On top of great country classic music, festivities include dancing, 50/50 draw, live and silent auctions and food and refreshments. The event is licensed and doors open at 1 p.m. Tickets are $15 each, and they are available in Carleton Place at Graham’s Shoes, 139 Bridge St., in Pakenham at Nicholson’s Sundries, located at 2529 County Rd. 29, and at Mark’s Cobbler Shop in Perth, found at 98 Gore St. E. “And, I’ve left a few tickets at Carleton Place Town Hall and SRC Music (124 Moore

St.),” Sue said. “Come listen to some of the best music in the Ottawa Valley and dance the afternoon away for a good cause,” White said. “It’ll be a real nice afternoon.” All live and silent auction items must be paid for by the end of the evening – cash only. An ATM machine is conveniently located in the arena lobby. White noted an individual from the Kidney Foundation of Canada would also be on site with donation forms. Receipts are provided. “We are aiming to raise between $4,000 and $8,000,” Brian said. “Anything to help with research, anything to help the people who will get this disease.” For additional information about the Country Western Jamboree or to make a donation, contact Sue or Brian at 613-257-8764.

Spartan football teams solidify their playoff spots Both St. John Catholic High School Spartan football teams took positive steps on Thursday, Oct. 29 to solidify their Lanark-Renfrew Football League’s playoff positions. A great defensive effort shut down the Perth and District High School’s Blue Devils offence and solid play by QB Spencer Jordan led the offence to a 28-0 win over their cross-town rival in senior action. The juniors scored a decisive 35-0 against Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute RedHawks. William Froggatt’s 100-yard kick return TD was

one of four he scored on the day to lead the junior offence. The defence played one of its best games of the season. Jack Cardiff’s fumble recovery, Jamie Lee’s interception and Eddie Olmstead’s hard hitting set the tone for a solid defensive effort. Both teams solidified their playoff positions for this week’s Lanark Renfrew Football League semi final games on Friday Nov. 6. The seniors will host PDCI at 1 p.m. and the juniors will travel to Arnprior for a 3 p.m. tilt. Submitted by Spartans Football

GO WINGS GO!

Perth Blue Wings face off against old rivals, Westport Rideaus, at home Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

Perth Blue Wings fans are in for a rare treat this weekend as the boys in blue will host not one but two games this weekend in CCHL2 league play. The Blue Wings host the Clarence Beavers in a 7:30 p.m. tilt Friday night, and on Sunday, in their first game since the mid 1970s, they will host the Westport Rideaus.

Our fans, players and coaches are excited to renew the old-time rivalry Michael McLean

Head coach, and team owner, Michael McLean said he’s looking forward to a busy weekend at home. “… Our fans, players and coaches are excited to renew the old-time rivalry,” he said of the Winchester game. The league leading Blue Wings added to their impressive stats at the top of the CCHL2’s Richardson Division and are now sitting at 13-1-0-1 for 27 points. They have one game in hand over the Stittsville Royals who are just two points off the pace. Overall, the Blue Wings are the second best in the league on the discipline side of things. They have the second lowest PIM (minutes in the penalty box). On the other side of that coin are the scrappy, last-place Brockville Tikis who have a PIM of 442. Another impressive stat for this team is the GF/ GA numbers, which are the best in the league. They have scored 88 goals while allowing 44 (tied with Renfrew Timberwolves). Leading the goal scoring charge is Dylan Mc-

Namara with 26 points on 14 goals and 12 assists. Mathew Labrosse is also high in the scoring race with 12 goals and 12 helpers for 24 points. Lucas Driscoll-McKinnon and Danick Genest have also accumulated more than 20 points apiece with 7-16 and 8-14 records for 23 and 22 points respectively. Kevan Dumouchel and Johnathan Peacock share the net minding duties and have similar GAA stats with 2.75 and 2.93 respectively. It all comes back to that hard work and disciplined play. Perth 6 Winchester 1 In Winchester on Friday – for their only game of the week, and the first time in that barn – the Hawks were treated to some Blue Wings hockey as Perth notched a 6-1 win. It was a great win for the Perth fans who followed the team to Winchester. “A nice crowd from Perth followed us there,” McLean said. The score was not indicative of the game though, as McLean said the Hawks were right there with them through the first period. “It was close for a while, then our speed and discipline took over,” McLean said. A 1-0 lead after the opening period became 4-0 after two. Winchester is a hard-working, physical team,” McLean said. “Very chippy and I thought our guys did a solid job of focusing on the game and playing hockey.” McLean’s team goal of hitting the 50-plus shot mark (which nets them five goals on average when they hit that mark), was met with a vengeance. They outshot their opponents, 54-20. “I was also pleased with our defensive game,” he said. “We kept their shots under 25 and only allowed the one goal against.” See BLUE WINGS page P20

From page P19

McLean is adamant that the team has to sustain its strong defensive play, “so that is what we are focusing on in practice. I also like our third periods - we continue to get stronger as the game moves along.” Scoring were Anthony Scattolon in the first, unassisted. Three power play snipers in the second were Marc-Andre LeBlanc, Labrosse and Alexandre Ferraton. Assists were accumulated by Nick Villeneuve, Brandon Mendham, Karson McCartney, LeBlanc and Adam Morton. In the third, Andy Clarke was the only Hawk to get past Dumouchel. Labrosse and Nicholas Vala finished up the scoring in the final frame for the

team’s 6-1 win. Assists went to McCartney, Mark Vanderzyde and Scott Leboeuf. The Winchester goalie, Brandon Lowry, was hit with a barrage of Perth stingers, turning away 48 of 54 shots in the loss. Winchester was whistled for 57 minutes on 11 infractions, while Perth had just 14 minutes on seven minors. Coming up, the weekend will be a challenging one for the Blue Wings since they have been off the ice since last Friday. “Clarence and Westport are both solid, hardworking teams,” McLean said. “We need to work and stay out of the penalty box.” Game time against Clarence Friday night is 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m. the Westport Rideaus are in the house.

Darlington brothers compete in BMX event

More than 220 racers from all across the province gathered at the Milton, Ont., BMX racing track in September to compete in the provincial championship. Eric and Graham Darlington were the only competitors representing Perth who qualified to compete in this exciting event. They braved the cold and rainy conditions, not to mention injuries and crashes to come forth with a second and fourth place finish respectively. Graham, age 12, placed second overall in the 12- year-old intermediate boys group. Eric placed fourth overall in the 14-year-old intermediate boys group. BMX racing is an individual cycle sport that involves racing around a closed track consisting of various obstacles including hills, banked turns, rhythm sections, rollers and tabletops. Riders have specialized bikes and equipment and train at weekly races held at local tracks. Racers can compete for district, provincial, or national points at different events hosted by tracks. At the provincial level they have to earn points in at least four different qualifiers to proceed to the finals. The closest tracks in this region are Nepean and Ottawa, but they hope to strengthen the sport by creating interest in Lanark County with the hopes of someday having their own local track that kids can bring their bikes to and experience the thrill of this now Olympic qualifying sport. More info on the sport can be found at www.bmxcanada.ca

for this area in 2016. Winkenweder, now 84, says it’s great that the club will be reborn, so to speak. As a bus driver back in the day, he carted loads of children to the ski hill for many years. “I remember buying skis, poles and boots for my youngest son for $5,” he said. “I think it’s a great thing that the club will come back. It will give kids something to do.” Winkenweder said the club started as a family affair and grew to be quite popular with about 150 participants at best. It was a weekend ski day, every Saturday when the bus would travel to Calabogie, Pakenham, and even Mont Tremblant. But due to Winkenweder’s health challenges, and dwindling numbers, the club closed down about four years ago. That’s when MaGuire stepped up to the challenge of rebuilding the club. With help from Smiths Falls Sport X, Rideau Ski Club memberships will be

sold during an open house and ski swap on Saturday, Nov. 7. Equipment can be dropped off for the ski swap between 9:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. and the open house and swap will run from 1 to 4 p.m. Winkenweder may even be in attendance for the event to catch up with old club members and meet new people. This year the club is running a membership drive and an eight-week trip package. Single memberships are $20 and family memberships cost $40. Members receive: • 20 per cent off lift tickets, rentals, lessons and accommodations at Calabogie Peaks; • $5 off lift tickets and lessons at Pakenham; and, • 10 per cent off lift tickets at Mont Ste-Marie (new discount for 2016!). During the eight-week program, particpants will go to Calabogie twice, (best snow making in eastern Ontario/western Quebec since they bought the Pole

Cat fan guns in 2009 that make three times as much snow as the traditional pole mounted air guns; Camp Fortune twice, with their acrobag, moguls and four chair lifts; Edelweiss high speed quad chair means more time skiing, less time riding the lift; Mont Cascades ($2 million investment in a new quad chair and trail improvements for the upcoming season); Mont Ste-Marie, the biggest hill in eastern Ontario and western Quebec (twice as big as the others); and Tremblant!

Top name national talent bookend exciting month at Full Circle Theatre You tour has taken him across Canada and now back to home ground with the show in Perth. Tickets for Séan McCann are at TicketsPlease. All of that and auditions, too! Open auditions for BarnDoor Productions’ (BDP) February show, David Mamet’s A Life In The Theatre, will be held on Monday, Nov. 30 beginning at 7 p.m. The cast is small: two males, but it’s an enormously funny play by one of the most important playwrights of the time. Then, on Tuesday, Dec. 2, we will have an informational night for those interested in being part of our January presentation of The Great Perth Temperance Soiree, the first of BDP’s hugely ambitious series of events for 2016’s Perth 200 celebrations. Information on all events (and auditions) at Full Circle Theatre is at www. barndoorproductions.ca as well as ticket information for Snowed Under (and all BDP’s productions). Ticket reservations for Snowed Under can also be obtained simply by calling 613-267-1884. The Full Circle Theatre is at 26 Craig Street, Perth (Highway 43) near Last Duel Park. It’s all just the beginning of what will be the biggest season yet at Full Circle Theatre, the “little theatre by the Tay” that has become the hottest spot for entertainment in town.

Top musical names at Full Circle Theatre. Canadian music legends Valdy, left, and Séan McCann, right, bookend an exciting month at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre, that includes the Canadian premiere of both a new play and a new film and much more. Dec. 9 at 7:30 p.m., features another premiere, this time of The Story of Perth, Part Two, a new documentary by Robert and Sharon Newton of Almonte. The first part of the Newton’s doc on the history of Perth premiered last June at FCT and the second part promises to be just as exciting. Tickets for the event are at TicketsPlease at 39 Foster Street in Perth (www.ticketsplease.ca, 613 485 6434). The showcase performances of the Academy for Musical Theatre’s fall workshop of Disney’s Aladdin happen on Dec. 11 and 12. This is the second

season that the Academy has used FCT as their home-base and the workshops are as strong as ever. Tickets are available at the door. The second part of the bookend comes on Sunday, Dec. 13 at 7:30 p.m., when Séan McCann, late of the hugely successful East Coast band Great Big Sea, brings his national tour to Full Circle Theatre. McCann, one of the founders of the five-time East Coast Music Award-winning band, left Great Big Sea in 2013 and, after a year off, has recently returned to touring on his own.

The next few weeks will be very exciting at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre as two of the top names in Canadian music bookend a series of events that also includes the Canadian premiere of a new farce for the holidays, international and local cinema and more at “the little theatre by the Tay.” One of the most iconic names in Canadian folk music will visit Perth on Nov. 24, when Valdy stops at Full Circle Theatre (FCT). Valdy’s career spans more than forty years and has made him one of the most well-known Canadian musicians. Tickets for Valdy are at Shadowfax, 67 Foster Street in Perth (www. shadowfax.on.ca, 613-267-6817). Nov. 11 and 25 are the final two events in Film Night International’s fall series. A Perfect Man (Nov. 11) is a French film about a struggling author who steals a manuscript from a reclusive man who has recently died. Remember (Nov. 25) feature Academy Award-winner Christopher Plummer as a man who finds that the Nazi guard who murdered his family is still alive in the US. Despite his age, Plummer sets out to find him. The movie also features veteran actor and Academy Award-winner Martin Landau. There are two screenings each day, at 2 and 7 p.m. Then, BarnDoor Productions opens their second show (and second Canadian premiere) of their 21st season with a special “holiday farce”. If you’re tired of Scrooge and totally Grinched out, then Snowed Under is the perfect show for you. It’s an old-fashioned, in-and-outthe-doors romp based on a 1936 movie. That movie was restricted by the Hayes Office Code that kept movies “pure” in the ‘30s and ‘40s, but the new play adaptation by Alan Smithee has no such restrictions and the result turns a tame little entertainment from the ‘30s into a wild night’s fun. A playwright escapes to his country house on Christmas Eve to complete his new play, followed by his first wife, his second wife, their lawyer, his producer, the girl who wants to be his third wife, the sheriff and the neighbours. Add a blizzard and two gallons of “apple jack” and the result is hilarious. Snowed Under runs Nov. 27, 28, Dec. 3, 4, 5 at 8 p.m. and Nov. 29 and Dec. 6 at 2 p.m.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

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

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Creativity will help you achieve much this week, but it’s also important to maintain a practical outlook. These two factors combine for a greater measure of success. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Romance is on your mind this week and you have to find a way to fit it prominently in your agenda, Taurus. If you have been busy lately, slow down to spend time with a loved one. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Home may feel like a personal retreat after the last few weeks you have been experiencing, Gemini. If you need rest, take it. It’s not a sign of slacking off. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 This week you are bogged down by menial tasks and hope that something more exciting will come your way, Gemini. If you play your cards right, the weekend could be a blast. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, a financial boost may compel you to go on a spending spree. Just be sure you keep track of those purchases so you do not go overboard. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, your confidence peaks this week and you take a leap of faith in a new arena. It may be a new job or a thrilling hobby. Travel is another option that may require bravery.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, mingling can bring out the best in you, so get out there this week as much as you can. Show off your people skills and converse with people from various walks of life. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, this may be the best your social life has been in a long time. If you have opportunities, try moving in different social circles by joining clubs or becoming part of a volunteer group. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, your desire for adventure could soon see you booking a cruise or taking a trip around the world. For now, there’s plenty to keep you occupied at home and work. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, explore new avenues in your life, even if it makes you feel a little nervous to branch out. You might be surprised with what you find if you give things a try. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, research all of your options before making a big decision. Figure out the details before you make any changes that could have long-term effects. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Try to exercise more vigorously and regularly this week, Pisces. Not only is it good for your body, it’s good for relieving stress. 1105

Carole Marie

St. Denis George Edward St. Denis

We announce with great sorrow the passing of George Edward St.Denis on October 29th, 2015 in his ninetyeighth year. He is predeceased by his wife Frances, brother Tom and sisters Olive and Mildred, and is survived by his children Susan, Thomas, Peter (Sand), Nancy (Peter), Mary Ann, Anthony, and Catherine (John); his grandchildren Blake (Laura), Gabriel (Samantha), Charlotte (Joseph), Emily (Emmanuel), Meredith (Sean), Christopher (Ann-Marie), James, Jack, and Jah; and great-grandchildren Kaleb, Liam, Charlotte, and Leon. Born in Toronto in 1917, Dad joined the Canadian Army when barely out of his teens and was one of the very few fulltime soldiers in Canada at the beginning of the Second World War. He deployed to Britain in 1942 and served throughout the Army’s campaigns in western France and the Low Countries. After the war he remained in uniform to make the service his career, retiring in 1967 as a Warrant Officer 2nd Grade. In 1946, after a longdistance courtship, he married Frances, his one love and life-long companion, and together they enjoyed 57 years of marriage until her death in 2003. He and Mom and a growing family moved often from one Army base in Canada to another, and summers were frequently spent on extended camping trips as we moved to a new home. As a career soldier, Dad was often away from his family on a military course or an unaccompanied tour of duty such as his year-long posting to Egypt in 1966 with the United Nations peacekeeping mission. As a veteran, Dad was a proud member for many years of the Royal Canadian Legion, which he served in several capacities including two terms as President of his Branch in Alliston, Ontario. A devout Catholic, he was also active in the Knights of Columbus, where he attained the status of Fourth Degree Knight, and he was a tireless campaigner, as well as a frequent donor, for the Red Cross in numerous blood-donor drives. When Mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and eventually institutionalized in a nursing home in Perth, Dad unfailingly spent two hours each and every day for years sitting by her side and feeding her fruit slices and other treats. In typical fashion, he also volunteered so many hours to the local Alzheimer’s Society that he was awarded a certificate of appreciation. In the final reckoning, Dad lived a life that was not only full but also compassionate, generous, charitable, and productive. The family would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to the staff at the Perley Rideau Veteran’s Health Care Centre, especially the exceptional staff of Rideau 2 South who took such solicitous care of Dad. Friends were received at the Blair and Son Funeral Home in Perth on Tuesday, November 3rd, 2015 between 2 and 4 p.m. and between 6 and 8 p.m. A Mass of Christian burial was celebrated in St. John’s Catholic Church, Perth, at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, November 4th, 2015. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Alzheimer’s Society or to the Perley Rideau Veteran’s Health Care Centre would be most appreciated.

Lloyd Melville Cooke

Died peacefully in the night on October 27th in Perth, Ontario at the age of 88. Lloyd was a respected educator and a pastor in the Free Methodist Church, as well as a deeply loved husband, father, uncle, and cherished grandfather and great-grandfather. Born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Lloyd was one of eight siblings, many of whom followed their father into Christian service as pastors, missionaries and devoted members of their religious communities in Canada, the United States, and the Middle East. After serving in the US Army, Lloyd worked as a contractor while attending college in New York State, eventually obtaining a Master’s Degree in Education.

PATRICIA A. NOONAN NOVEMBER 11 2014 NOVEMBER 11 2014 Mom for now I know the reason for this repetitious date, As those words crossed over your lips repeatedly the day you left us, For they not only represent the day we honor our veterans, But the day you were freed from your pain. As the jets flew over the hospital and with your love of angels, You became one, never to be alone again as you rejoin dad, And all those you loved and missed so much. Mom, we love you and now on this day when a poppy is worn, A pansy will be too. Now I too will repeat those words.

CAREER OPPORTUNITY

Finding memorable live music during road trips Road tours are one of my favourite activities and this past week found me finding live original music and later in the week, viewing a new sculpture honoring a Canadian musical legend. I don’t get to Toronto as often as I used to before my retirement, so, when I had a meeting there last week, I made the most of it on a shoestring budget, fulfilling my live music needs in comfy listening rooms. Staying just off Yonge Street on Dundas, I enjoyed a lovely Sunday afternoon fall stroll, kicking through coloured leaves decorating the backstreets, passing Queen’s Park, some of the University of Toronto (U of T) campus, past a memorable previous regular haunt in my younger days, The Brunswick House and around the corner to the legendary Tranzac Club. Lots of our singer/songwriter friends play there but it was my first visit. Located at 292 Brunswick Ave., just south of Bloor, this nonAUCTIONS

profit club established roots here in 1971 under the “TRANZAC” – short form for the ‘Toronto Australian New Zealand Club’, a community organization promoting arts, music and theatre on site. I’d heard of Michael Laderoute, originally from Arnprior, having grown up in the Ottawa Valley before he headed to U of T for a few years, playing his music wherever he could to pay tuition and put food on the table. His acoustic style led him to a publishing deal in Nashville where he shared tunes with Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clarke, no slouches in the songwriting world. His narrative style reminded me of Clarke’s music, capturing stories and situations in just a few right words. He was masterfully backed by Rob Fenton on dobro, someone who I’d met and appreciated when he backed Greg Hobbs at Stewart Park Festival a few years ago. Hard to believe Rob played violin and saxophone profes-

sionally before he ever picked up a dobro. Together Michael and Rob laid down a couple of nice sets. Lynn Harrison was up next and it was great to hear her again after catching her positive, self-penned tunes several years ago. Since then she’s gone back to school and was recently ordained as a Unitarian Minister, now combining her music with her theology. Her sensitive eye catches life around her, her musical stories inspiring hope and compassion. I really enjoyed witnessing the growth of her writing and musical presence.

During a recent trip to Orillia, Musical Musings columnist Steve Tennant took in the new statue in honour of Gordon Lightfoot, which stands in Tudhope Memorial Park. The four metre high bronze sculpture was created by Timothy Schmalz.

She shared the stage with Steve Paul Simms whose quirky tunes kept all listening attentively. Next, the group Gathering Sparks, made up of Eve Goldberg and Jane Lewis led, what turned out to be, their monthly singalong, combining familiar old tunes of others with their own. It was interesting the number of people who arrived specifically for this, from the elderly to kids from the community. All these musicians passed around a jug during their shows and the audience threw in what they could, which was the pay for them. No big payouts here but the love of performing was obvious in a room so willing to listen and encourage. As I left about 9:30 p.m. I headed south, the cool breeze causing the fallen leaves to dance about my feet. About a half hour later, after a quiet amble south through a rejuvenating neighbourhood, I arrived at The Cameron House, a block west of Queen and Spadina and couldn’t believe the energy as I opened the door to find the place full, people dancing wherever they could to the 10-member western swing band, The Double Cuts, who honour legendary Bob Wills’ style music replicating the genre with their own creative arrangements. Whew! Was it hopping! I returned to the Cameron the next night to get caught up with Miss Quincy, a west coast gal we’d heard several years ago now at The Local pub on Roncevalles. From the country-themed tunes heard before, her rocking guitar work has risen to toughen her style and rock the room. Sarah Burton, who has played her own work around the Valley, has since joined forces with Miss Quincy, adding her keyboard work and backing harmonies. Tours of Australia, Europe and around North America show Miss Quincy’s skills are being well received. Of all the music I heard while in Toronto, 95 per cent was original. It was a lovely couple of days. I returned to my home in Perth and the following day drove to Orillia to visit with my folks for a few days. While there, my sister Janice took me to see the brand new, four metre high bronze work by Timothy Schmalz, entitled “Golden Leaves – A Tribute to Gordon Lightfoot”, located at Barnsfield Point in Tudhope Memorial Park on the shores of Lake Couchiching, along the Gordon Lightfoot Trail and the site of the legendary Mariposa Folk Fesitval. Unveiled with Lightfoot in attendance on Oct. 23 of this year, the piece features a representation of a young, bearded Lightfoot sitting cross-legged, strumming his guitar. A large maple leaf shaped wreath stretches overhead, symbols representing many of his songs captured throughout the smaller leaves that make up the large, over reaching arch. Gord, now 76, grew up performing at

an early age in Orillia before heading off to Toronto to find his future in the Yorkville folk scene with others like Joni Mitchell and Neil Young. Self-penned If You Could Read My Mind, Canadian Railroad Trilogy, Sundown, Early Morning Rain and Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald helped him win 17 Juno Awards.

Hall of Remembrance military museum honours sacrifices of brave soldiers The following is the next installment in a series of monthly articles on local museums in Lanark County. This series is being offered in partnership with the Lanark County Museum Network. As you enter the Hall of Remembrance military museum, a guided tour will take you down the “Wall of Heroes”, which seems to stretch on forever. Here hang photographs of Second World War veterans, and each one who was killed in action has the familiar legion poppy affixed to the photo – images of Perth’s men and women, most long gone, but not forgotten. Some families sent as many as six sons and daughters off to war. The museum was founded by four members of Perth-Upon-Tay, Branch 244, of the Royal Canadian Legion: Del Harper, Barry Mulville, Jack Churchill, and Bill Riddell, and officially opened on Nov. 11, 1993. Their credo was “to perpetuate the memories of our veterans who served our country, and educate our youth, and those who follow, of the sacrifices that these brave men and women made to protect our freedoms and rights that we have today.” Curator John Gemmell notes that a recent acquisition of numerous artifacts from the Carleton Place “Hall of

Valour” has helped make the most significant upgrade to the museum in recent years. Among these new items are a set of three stained glass windows depicting the three branches of the Canadian Armed Forces, believed to be from the post-First World War era, along with commemorative plaques of Victoria Cross winners from the mid-nineteenth century onwards. Gemmell stated that he was “extremely pleased that Hall of Valour president Jacques Levesque chose to find a new home for these important artifacts at our museum.” Located on the picturesque banks of the Tay River, at 26 Beckwith Street East in the Town of Perth, the museum occupies almost 4,000 square feet on the second story of the legion building. Artifacts dating from the 19th century Fenian Raids, Boer War, First and Second World Wars, Korean War, Cold War, and peacekeeping missions, to the recent war in Afghanistan, are among the holdings of the museum that fill six rooms. A large percentage of the displays emphasize the participation of Perth and area men and women in the service of our country, and many of the donations to the museum come from local legion members and families of veterans.

A display which for the most part was constructed by students of Perth & District Collegiate Institute tells the heartwrenching story of Flying Officer (FO) William Joseph Kyle, age 22, of Perth. FO Kyle was reported missing in action on a World War II cargo flight to resupply troops in Burma. A recovery mission began in 1990, when a native of Myanmar found a watch inscribed with William Kyle’s name and service number. The location turned out to be the crash site of the Dakota aircraft co-piloted by Kyle. Across from the Kyle display, a glass cabinet is devoted to Colonel John Matheson, who served in the Parliament of Canada, and as a judge in Perth, for many years. As Parliamentary Assistant to Prime Minister Lester Pearson, Matheson was instrumental in securing the agreement of a committee to choose our Canadian flag. While serving in Italy with the Royal Canadian Horse Artillery in Italy during the Second World War, he was badly wounded, but later in life he was able to celebrate his 80th birthday by completing a parachute jump. He is also a respected authority on heraldry in Canada, and a proud United Empire See REMEMBRANCE page 42

Loyalist. Other displays include a room detailing some history of “The Great Escape” from the German POW camp Stalag Luft III. A replica of a tunnel section, and many examples of prisoner of war memorabilia, are displayed there. This story includes Canadian airman Wally Floody, who was instrumental in the tunnel digging, and was nicknamed “The Tunnel King”. The only known, authentic cigar owned by the great British wartime leader Sir Winston Churchill, appears behind glass in one of the large display cases. Additions and upgrades to this museum are constantly being made, and the vision of the founding members to educate our youth is followed by providing educational tours to elementary school students during the days leading up to Remembrance Day. Busing is also made available when necessary. Gemmell invites everyone to visit the museum from May through November on Friday or Saturday between the hours of 1 and 3 p.m. or otherwise book an appointment through our legion office at 613-267-4400. Elementary school tours can also be booked during the weeks leading up to Remembrance Day. Follow our “Hall of Remembrance” Facebook page, and find us on the web at: www.hallofremembrance.ca.

MPP, citizens’ group hosting Hydro One sale public meeting Nov. 12 As opposition to the Wynne government’s Hydro One fire sale continues to grow, Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark is partnering with a local citizens’ group to host a public information meeting this month. Clark and Rhonda Ferguson from Hydro One Not For Sale will co-host the evening forum on Thursday, Nov. 12 with special guest speaker Ontario PC Critic for the Hydro One Sale MPP Todd Smith. It will be held in the Community Room in the east end of the Thousand Islands Mall in Brockville beginning at 6:30 p.m. “I’m pleased to team up with Rhonda to raise awareness about the government’s dangerous plan to sell off this invaluable public asset,” said Clark. “We’ve seen residents and municipalities across the province joining our PC Caucus in demanding the government unplug its planned sale and we want to make sure the voices in Leeds-Grenville are heard.” Ferguson noted polls show more than 83 per cent of Ontarians are opposed to the sale. “For 100 years hydro has been in the public hands. This was to ensure accountability and reliable service. In one silent decision, the provincial government decided to change this,” said Ferguson.

The meeting is being held on Thursday, Nov. 12 beginning at 6:30 p.m. in the Community Room at the Thousand Islands Mall in Brockville. “Privatizing hydro will mean higher hydro rates for people and increased poverty.

less control over carbon emissions and other pollution,” she continued. “With MPP Clark and the Citizens’ Coalition Against Privatization’s commitment to stopping the sale, we hope to bring the story to light in Leeds and Grenville.” Clark said the Wynne’s government’s record of mismanagement clearly calls into question their ability to manage the sale in the best interest of Ontarians. Worse, the government has used its majority to block an effort by Clark and the Opposition PCs to bring details of the sale out from behind closed doors. But the MPP stressed his primary concern remains the increased rates residents and businesses will inevitably face should the sale go through. “Despite the government’s assurances, we know rates will go up. That’s a frightening prospect for families in my riding who are already being forced to choose between heating and eating this winter,” said Clark. “In terms of our economy, rising hydro costs are a major reason we’ve lost hundreds of thousands of manufacturing jobs in Ontario. Further rate hikes will only make it harder for our businesses and industries to compete.” Submitted by the office of LeedsGrenville MPP Steve Clark.

Report reveals distracted driving still a major problem The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety recently released a report on distracted driving and it’s an eye-popper. The study involved 257 drivers and 10 popular 2015 model-year vehicles (Chev Equinox, Buick Lacrosse, Toyota 4Runner, Ford Taurus, Chev Malibu, VW Passat, Nissan Altima, Chrysler 200C, Hyundai Sonata, and Mazda 6). Each participant was given one specific vehicle to take home for five days to practice with the In-Vehicle Information System (IVIS); the hands-free communication and HVAC and audio systems controls. At the end of the practice session, each driver returned the vehicle and completed a pre-set driving course and IVIS tasks accompanied by a videographer. Additional sensors and video cams were also installed for the test drive to quantify how much of a distraction the various IVIS systems provided to the task of driving. The tasks were rated by

cognitive workload (how much mental effort was required to complete a certain job) and graphed on a scale of 2.37 to 4.57 (how quickly and easy or timeconsuming and difficult). Category 1 tasks provided little distractions and category 5 represented the max. The AAA Foundation considers any distraction over 2.4 to be too much while driving. The study revealed that the most difficult tasks and IVIS systems distracted drivers for up to 27 seconds after the task was completed. This included such things as making or receiving a handsfree call, or adjusting the audio system with voice commands, or sending or receiving a text message via audio links and voice commands. Even the easiest and most intuitive systems came in with a distraction rating of 2.4 and kept drivers minds off the road for up to 15 seconds after the task was completed. To put that into perspective, at a very low

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

25 mph speed a driver would travel the length of three football fields in traffic while being distracted for 27 seconds. A wide demographic range was used in selecting test subjects and older adults had more difficulty with the technology than their younger counterparts. Automakers have consistently touted hands-free and voice-command systems as the answer to driving distractions caused by interactive technology and this AAA Foundation study firmly throws those notions under the bus. “Drivers should use caution while

using voice-activated systems, even at seemingly safe moments when there is a lull in traffic or the car is stopped at an intersection,” said Marshall Doney, AAA’s president and CEO. “The reality is that mental distractions persist and can affect driver attention even after the light turns green.” My own test for driving distractions was to try to remember any detail of traffic or surroundings I’d passed through while on a hands-free call, after completing such a call. Try it yourself and you’ll know why I don’t answer the phone when I’m driving. “Hi Brian, I read your recent advice article regarding winter tires and found it very informative. I have a 2015 Camry XLE which comes with all seasons, sized P15/55/R17 and I’m shopping for winter tires. I have been advised, as you indicated in your piece, to go to a smaller tire for winters for the reasons you men-

tion. In my case the recommended size is P205/65/16. I am leaning to Michelin X ICE xi3. Your article didn’t touch on speed rating and load index. My all seasons have a speed rating of ‘V’ and the winters are rated at ‘T’. Is that something I should be concerned about? The load index is about the same for the two tires (93 vs. 99). Secondly, will gas mileage suffer with the smaller winter tire vs. the wider all seasons? Thanks, Larry” I didn’t bring up speed or load ratings as they make little difference for almost all winter drivers. For example your summer tire speed rating of V is good for 240 km/h and the T rating on your snows is for 190 km/h (ever think your Camry will travel that fast? In winter?) The winter tire is actually 0.7 per cent larger in circumference than the See COUNSELLOR page 46

Film on Bolivian election race lacks depth MOVIE: Our Brand is Crisis STARRING: Sandra Bullock, Anthony Mackie, Ann Dowd, Joaquim de Almeida, and Billy Bob Thornton DIRECTOR: David Gordon Green RATING: 14A Apparently the longest election in Canadian history wasn’t enough for me. I had to go see a movie about another election in another country. Sometimes I wonder if I have a problem. At one point Jane Bodine (Sandra Bullock) was the best political campaign strategist in the game. Then a scandal rocked her to her core, and she went into a self-imposed exile. Ben (Anthony Mackie) and Nell (Ann Dowd) have tracked her down because they need her help. They’ve got a candidate in the Bolivian presidential election, but that’s not what gets Jane. What gets Jane is that her arch rival Pat Candy (Billy Bob Thornton) is working for the opposition. Jane’s candidate, Castillo (Joaquim de Almeida) is down in the polls, is seen as out of touch with the people, and even hated by many of them. Simply put, he can’t win. The candidate they’re up against is leading the

My Take

Mark haskins

polls, charming, good looking, and loved by the people. Simply put, he’s everything Castillo is not, and his campaign is run by a man who knows every trick and will use all of them. Jane doesn’t care about politics, or policy. She doesn’t care about who’s the best candidate. She doesn’t care about what’s best for Bolivia. She cares about winning. Jane is prepared to do anything to get Castillo elected and beat Candy. This time, however, Jane may not be prepared to pay the price that not caring will exact. Our Brand is Crisis is a mess. There are moments of brilliance, but there isn’t enough substance to hold those moments together. There’s some humour and some genuine emotion, but I kept expecting more. More depth in the politics, more depth into the issues, more depth into the inner workings of these characters, but instead I got a superficial behind-the-scenes look at a Bo-

livian presidential campaign. It isn’t until the very end you gain some understanding of what this film is really about, but it’s too far to go, and the pay-off isn’t worth it. One of the things that attracted me to this film was the cast. Anthony Mackie’s star continues to rise. Ann Dowd, Zoe Kazan, Reynoldo Pacheo and Joaquim de Almeida are also good, but what can you really say about a cast that isn’t given anything to work with? They’re there, they deliver their lines, but it’s all very two dimensional. Billy Bob Thornton is exceptionally good at playing a jerk. As Pat Candy he’s a supreme jerk. You truly dislike this individual making this a very good performance. Jane is beyond damaged goods. Sure she’s brilliant, but she’s barely holding it together. Sandra Bullock nails it. If this film has one redeeming quality it’s Bullock. Our Brand is Crisis is a disappointment. It lacks the depth to be a good drama, and isn’t funny enough to be a good comedy. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

Ministry of Health: Vaccination best defense against the flu Ontarians are reminded to get their flu shots as the province kicks off its annual flu immunization program. The influenza vaccine remains the best protection against the flu virus. As of the last week of October, the free flu vaccine is available for all Ontarians at their health care providersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offices, participating public health units and at community and workplace flu immunization clinics. It is also available from trained pharmacists at approximately 2,500 pharmacies across Ontario for anyone five years of age and older. Children and youth aged two to 17 years will also be able to get the flu vaccine in the form of a nasal spray instead of an injection. The nasal spray flu vaccine will help offer broader protection against four flu viruses instead of three. The added protection is against an additional strain of type-B influenza which affects children and youth more frequently than adults. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The flu vaccine is your best defense against the flu. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re reminding Ontarians to get the flu shot

this season and to get it early, especially young children and seniors who are the most vulnerable to serious complications. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also why weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re giving parents more options this year when it comes to getting their kids vaccinated. The flu vaccine is free, easy to get and the best way to stay healthy this flu season,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Eric Hoskins, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hand cleaning either with soap and water or using a hand sanitizer; sneezing or coughing into your sleeve; and staying home when you are sick reduces the risk of the flu, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not enough,â&#x20AC;? added Dr. David Williams, Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Acting Chief Medical Officer of Health. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Getting a flu shot is the best way to protect yourself and others from getting or giving the flu to those around you. It can help your body build its defenses and can make you more resilient to flu viruses.â&#x20AC;? Parents will still have the option to vaccinate their children using an injection. The new injection for children and youth aged six months to 17 years will

also protect against the same four viruses as the new nasal spray. Influenza, commonly called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;fluâ&#x20AC;?-is more than a bad cold. It is a serious respiratory infection that can lead to hospitalization and even death, particularly for children under five, pregnant women, seniors and people with underlying health conditions. It takes about two weeks for the flu vaccine to give you protection against flu viruses. The sooner you get the shot, the sooner you can be protected. Preventing the flu through immunization is part of the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan to build a better Ontario through its Patients First: Action Plan for Health Care, which provides patients with faster access to the right care; better home and community care; the information they need to live healthy; and a health care system that is sustainable for generations to come. Did you know â&#x20AC;˘ Under Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Universal Influenza Immunization Program, flu vaccine

Nov. 25 fundraiser to benefit Kick in For Kids charity Charlotte Gray and Jane Urquhart, beloved Canadian authors, as well as Officers of the Order of Canada, are featured in a Nov. 25 fundraiser for local charity, Kick in For Kids. This charity aims to support students at Rideau District High School to participate in extracurricular activities. Formed earlier this year, the charity has raised over $8000 through a musical event last April at The Cove in Westport, a raffle over the summer, and private donations. In this next fundraising effort, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fiction and Nonfiction: Why We Do Itâ&#x20AC;?, the two authors will engage in a conversation about their approaches to writing, opposite as they are, and the challenges and benefits of writing in these different genres. Both authors focus on historical themes and eras in their writings, but Charlotte has chosen nonfiction as her mĂŠtier while Janeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s writings are primarily fictional and lyrical. Charlotte, a long-time seasonal

resident on Newboro Lake, has been touted as the next Pierre Berton. Her books include portraits of such prominent historical Canadian figures as aboriginal poet Pauline Johnson, inventor Alexander Graham Bell, pioneer sisters and writers, Susanna Moodie and Catharine Parr Traill, politician Nellie McClung, and a Prime Ministerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, Isabel Mackenzie King. Charlotte has written about Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gold rush, the shooting of a prominent Toronto businessman, and provided a road map to Canadian culture and history through insightful research and analysis of our artifacts and letters. Jane Urquhart, one of Charlotteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s esteemed friends and colleagues, and one of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most successful writers, is the author of seven internationally acclaimed novels, including The Stone Carvers, and her latest, just released this past April, The Night Stages. Jane has received the Mar-

ian Engel Award, and is a Chevalier dans lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in France. In addition to her novels, Jane has authored short fiction and several books of poetry, as well as a poignant biography of Lucy Maud Montgomery. The Canadian Federation of University Women â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ottawa Chapter (CFUW-Ottawa) is partnering with the Kick in For Kids committee on the fundraiser, to be held at Ben Franklin Place, 101 Centrepointe Drive in Ottawa. The authors will begin their conversation at 7:30 p.m., but the evening begins at 6 p.m. with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Taste of the Rideauâ&#x20AC;? reception, with catering of locally produced foods by Wendyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Country Market in Lyndhurst. Owner Wendy Banks is at the forefront of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;100-mile limitâ&#x20AC;? movement, marketing and distributing foods from the Rideau Lakes, Lanark and Thousand Island areas to retailers in the area

and in nearby urban centres. The reception, which includes a silent auction, raffles, door prizes, a wine bar and mulled soft cider, aims to showcase businesses and products from Rideau Lakes and Westport. There will be a bus to and from Ottawa, with pickups in Elgin, Westport and Perth. The bus is $15. To reserve a spot, call 613-272-2877 or email yhelwig@kingston.net, after registering for the event. To register, go to the CFUW-Ottawa website: www.cfuw-ottawa.org. Tickets are $25 and are available as

Major Evelyn Wilson: The dynamo of discipline

lyle dillabough

an Costello said that Wilson was the highest decorated veteran of all Carleton Place veterans (man or woman). “She was one of only four people ever to have been awarded the Red Cross Medal,” he explained. And to those who wouldn’t know, this is an incredible honor to ever be bestowed on her or anyone else for that matter. Just utterly amazing indeed!” Wilson once kept a field hospital in operation even though it had come under enemy air attack and the operating room had been destroyed. Her discipline and determination led fellow nurses

and doctors to keep going though surrounded by dead colleagues and patients. Many who came under her charge said that they actually feared her but all eventually ended up admiring her in the end. She was fair in all dealings with her nurses and could show deep felt empathy in times of crisis. She had a caring heart. The upstairs lounge at Branch 192 of the Royal Canadian Legion in Carleton Place is named in her honor. A solarium at the National Defence Medical Center in Ottawa was dedicated to her in 1986. She was inducted into the Canadian Veterans Hall of Valour in 2005. It just hap-

Veterans Affairs Canada

Tuesday, November 24, 2015 1:00pm to 3:00pm Lanark Lodge Auditorium

Dinner With Friends a marriage between drama and humour Love is easy. Marriage is hard. How else can you explain why more than half of all couples who start out saying “I do” end up saying “I don’t anymore?” Dinner With Friends, the Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy/ drama by Donald Margulies that opens at the Studio Theatre Nov. 19, is a thought-provoking, often humorous study of the lives of two couples, and the impact that one couple’s divorce has on their friendship. Divorce is never easy, and the natural reaction of friends when a union is torn asunder is a sense of sorrow, and remorse over the end of a friendship that was based on coupleness. But often, as the dust settles, the remaining pair begin to wonder about the deeper implications of the break-up: Should

they chose sides? Will the divorce of their friends cause them to examine the strength of their own marriage? It’s an all-toofamiliar real-life scenario that is fascinating and, yes, entertaining to watch unfold. Director Jeremy Dutton, a theatre veteran who has helmed many of the Studio Theatre’s most memorable productions, says that just as in reality, the subject is serious, but the treatment is sometimes flippant. “The dialogue in Dinner With Friends is in the North American vernacular, so the lines roll fast and free. As the playwright examines the situations with the two couples – Tom and Beth, and Gabe and Karen – the one-liners and jokes lighten our load. It is a theatre experience akin to watch-

ing television,” he said. Over the course of the play, we see both couples at different ages and stages of their lives, and we witness the effect that Tom and Beth’s breakup has on Gabe and Karen. To bring these challenging roles to life, Dutton has selected an outstanding cast of Perth’s finest theatre actors, including veterans Hugh McCulloch, Juli Heney, Charles Henderson and Janice Reid. The show’s producer is Grace Main and Susan Bamber handles stage management duties. Set design and decor are by C.Lee Bates and Cheryl Matson; set construction is by Reiner S. and his crew of talented builders; and head costumer is Patricia Parry. Don’t miss this thought-pro-

voking Pulitzer Prize-winning play about the perils of life and love.

Tales from the Troubadour

pened to coincide with the 50th nniversary of the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital. (A facility dedicated to Canadian War Veterans). “I think it is rather fitting to see Major Wilson’s induction tied in with an institution she would have so whole heartedly supported,” Costello remarked at the time. Other attributes of hers could be listed but it’s suffice to say that Major Evelyn Wilson definitely earned her place in history as one of this nation’s greatest heroes. The daughter of a local doctor, she never married and returned to live out her life in her hometown. She was well in her nineties at the time of her death. A local man, Ivan Hamilton, was a friend of hers and served as a pallbearer at her funeral. “Her casket was a heavier one then usual because it was built with solid brass,” he said. Wilson was interned at the Auld Kirk Cemetery in Almonte.

She was called “The Dynamo of Discipline” and became one of Canada’s greatest wartime heroes. And she was born at Carleton Place. Major Evelyn Wilson was a pioneer in the field of wartime medicine. Such was her reputation and the respect it demanded that even doctors took orders from her. In fact, it’s been said that she even made King George himself wait to have an audience with her. Despite her outward appearance, Wilson was a dedicated humanitarian who took the science of nursing to previous unreachable heights. Her 27-year career at the prestigious Samford (Connecticut) Hospital was interrupted only by the breakout of World War One. And during that war, she obtained (the then unthinkable for a woman) rank of major. Her battlefield leadership and innovated techniques were simply outstanding.

Musical based on Smiths Falls railway stories comes to Station Theatre Nov. 7 An original musical based on stories told by Smiths Falls locals is coming to town for two shows on Nov. 7 at The Station Theatre. Here Comes the Train! The Ottawa Valley Railway Story goes behind the scenes in the golden age of railways in the Ottawa Valley to look at the lives of the people who worked on and around the trains and the impact railways had on the Valley and Canada as a whole. Many of the stories told in the show come directly from local people. The show is produced by Stone Fence Theatre, a professional theatre company from Renfrew County that produces original musicals that focus on Ottawa Valley history and life and that feature songs in the style of traditional music. Here Comes the Train! is based in large part on interviews done at the Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario by playwright/producer Ish Theilheimer. “There are very few people left who worked on and around local railways in the Steam Era,” says company producer

and playwright Ish Theilheimer “With the decline they saw coming and the end of steam, the railways stopped hiring, for the most part, in the early 1950s, so there aren’t many around to talk with. So it was great that Anne Shropshire at the museum was able to connect me with so many amazing people.” “I was able to talk with former engineers, firemen, brakemen, and also family members of railroaders,” says Theilheimer. “Thanks to people I met through the museum, we were also able to bring out the experience of women connected with the railway, and that became one of the play’s real strengths.” Most of the play is set in the 1950s, with musical styles including bluegrass, blues and country/folk, played by an onstage band of veteran musicians; Peter Brown on keys, Colin Wylie on guitar, Peter Frolander on string bass, and Theilheimer on mandolin and fiddle - and introduces Tim Faught on five-string banjo.

The cast includes director Chantal Elie-Sernoskie, Fran Pinkerton, Ambrose Mullin, Lesley Sneddon, Stephanie Keon-Pinkerton and Phil Hoffman. Cast and crew live in farflung parts of the Valley, from Barry’s Bay to Pembroke to Lanark and have been working on the show since February. Here Comes the Train! has been playing to sold-out audiences at several locations in the Upper Ottawa Valley throughout the summer and fall, and finishes it’s season in Smiths Falls with a 1 p.m. matinee and a 7 p.m. evening performance on Saturday, Nov. 7 at the Station Theatre. “We are especially excited about bringing the show to The Station Theatre,” Theilheimer says. “The setting is perfect, and the theatre is wonderful, a real tribute to the community.” More information, a promotional video shot at the Barry’s Bay railway station and ticket purchases are all available at www.stonefence.ca or 1-866310-1004.

The Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing has indicated that they are going to make buying a home even harder by giving every municipality province-wide the power to charge a Municipal Land Transfer Tax (MLTT), a change that will double the land transfer taxes consumers have to pay on their next home. The Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA) encourages all Ontarians to visit www.donttaxmydream.ca to learn more about the negative impact of the MLTT and stop this tax from spreading province-wide. “Ontario home buyers are already charged a provincial land transfer tax, so by adding a municipal tax, they’re essentially doubling the tax burden on Ontario families,” said Patricia Verge, president of OREA. “If the Ontario Liberals follow through with this plan, home buyers will be forced to pay $10,000 in total land transfer taxes on the average priced home in Ontario, starting as early as next year.” Broken election commitment doubles tax on home buyers The provincial government is currently undertaking a public consultation on changes to the Municipal Act. Despite the fact that the period for public comment didn’t close until Oct. 31, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing has indicated that they will move ahead with granting municipalities across the province the ability to impose a municipal land transfer tax, disregarding views expressed by Ontarians during this important public process. Verge said that, “The Ontario Liberals wrote to us in May 2014, during the election, stating that ‘they had no plans to extend these powers to municipalities’. On behalf of home buyers, we want them to remain good on this election promise and that means Ontarians need

to send a strong message that the government must rethink its plan to double the land transfer tax burden on home buyers.” In 2008, the City of Toronto put an MLTT in place after the Ontario government extended the powers to do so two years prior. The result has been significant negative impacts on jobs and the economy. Over five years, it is estimated that 38,227 housing transactions did not occur in Toronto because of the MLTT. With every home transaction generating $55,000 in consumer spending on things like renovations, furniture, appliances, and fees to professionals, the MLTT has cost the City of Toronto $2.3 billion in lost economic activity and 15,000 jobs. This type of effect would be multiplied across Ontario if the government moves ahead with its plans. New data from Ipsos Reid show Ontarians do not support new tax A new Ipsos Reid poll shows that the overwhelming majority of Ontarians (89 per cent) outside of Toronto oppose a new MLTT charged on home purchases in their area. Respondents agreed that if a new land transfer tax were put in place, it would limit their ability to afford a home (77 per cent) and they would likely have to delay a purchase (75 per cent). Ontarians agreed (77 per cent) that the government should do all it can to help families own their own home.
