Fillipoff documentary to air on The Fifth Estate

Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – CBC Television’s The Fifth Estate will devote its entire hour to the case of missing local woman Emma Fillipoff tomorrow (Friday, Nov. 7) at 9 p.m. Emma disappeared off the streets of Victoria, B.C. on Nov. 28, 2012 without a trace. Her mother Shelley, who lives in Lanark Highlands, returned from one of her trips out west to search for her daughter a year-and-a-half ago. She admits she was “emotionally exhausted.”

Worse still, “it was really hard to leave there. I felt like I was leaving her,” Shelley said during a telephone interview this past Monday afternoon. “I was in shock,” she said. As soon as she was back in Ontario though, she resolved to do something positive to keep her daughter’s case in the headlines. She contacted both The Fifth Estate and CTV’s W5. She knew Linden MacIntyre, the host of The Fifth Estate since 1990, through her father, though she used her married See FILLIPOFF page P2

Community – Celebrate women in business this weekend at Lanark County Interval House’s (LCIH) 26th annual Women’s Fair at the Neelin Street Community Centre in Carleton Place. Due to popular demand, the fair has been expanded from one day to two with new vendors appearing each day. It takes place Saturday, Nov. 8 and Sunday, Nov. 9 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. with free admission. According to Women’s Fair organizer and LCIH board member Deanna Barry, the event is one of the most anticipated business expos in Lanark County and will feature jewelry, clothing/fashion, baked goods, chiropractic services, fitness, financial consultants, crafts, beauty products and more. “We’ve got lots of vendors, including a variety of local artisans and home-based businesses and they are all women-owned businesses, which is unique and sets us apart from some of the other shows around,” she explained. “…I believe this is one of the largest gatherings of women-owned businesses in the area.” “…It’s pretty popular and we had a vendor waiting list for a couple of years, so we thought we’d open it up to two days,” Barry added. In addition to the range of vendors, visitors can bid on more than 80 items

ing,” she said. “The kitchen’s always really successful.” The Women’s Fair is one of LCIH’s signature events and raises funds to keep the organization’s programs and services in operation for women and children who are victims of abuse. “It’s (Women’s Fair) pretty important to us both as a fundraising event and to raise awareness about Interval House,” Barry said, noting that the Women’s Fair and Violet Femmes gala, set to take place Nov. 21 at the Almonte Arena, are the organization’s two biggest annual fundraisers. While LCIH does receive funding from the Ministry of Community and Social Services, 11 per cent of their budget comes from fundraising. “Our shelter is unique in that we offer a lot of transitional programs that many others in the city don’t,” Barry added. With several other craft shows taking place in Carleton Place and Almonte this weekend, Barry urges families to make a day of it. While the Women’s Fair showcases women, there is something for the entire family. “It’s a nice outing to do with a group of girlfriends or the whole family. There are a few other events taking place, make a day of exploring the area,” she said.

News – The following are highlights from the special Lanark County council meeting held Wednesday, Oct.22 and the special county council meeting held Oct. 8. The county is proceeding with an agreement with the provincial Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing that will provide additional funds in the Investment in Affordable Housing for Ontario Housing program. The program was introduced in 2011 with funding allocations for three years. The federal and provincial governments have extended it for a further six years in an effort to improve housing options for Ontarians. Various programs can be delivered, and the county provides homeownership loans, Renovate Lanark and rent supplement programs. The allocation for the 20142015 year for the county is $381,700, with subsequent years announced when census data is available. Social housing manager Sandy Grey indicated the extension amount is enough to fund two units of new rental construction; Renovate Lanark funding would be used to assist 13 applicants who are on a waiting list and, if there are funds left, more would be issued on a first-come, firstserved basis. The housing allowance funding would assist 26 clients for five years with a $200 per month subsidy. County expresses condolences

Lanark County councillors expressed shock and condolences in the wake of the violent acts taking place in Ottawa at the National War Memorial and Parliament Hill on Oct. 22, as well as the incidents in Quebec on Oct. 21, all involving Canadian soldiers. “Lanark County is proud of our military and the uniform they wear is a symbol for Canadians,” said Warden Richard Kidd (Beckwith Reeve). Councillor John Fenik (Perth Mayor) added that there is a bigger role “for all levels of government to give a united message on this kind of darkness.” Several councillors commented on support for Canadian soldiers and all agreed to write a letter to the Governor General expressing this sentiment.

them. Senior financial analyst Kevin Wills explained under the current system, if a defendant is found to be only one per cent liable for damages caused to an injured party, that defendant can be burdened with responsibility for paying the entire damage award if the co-defendants lack the ability to pay. “As ‘deep pocket’ defendants with seemingly limitless public resources at their disposal through the power of taxation, municipalities have often become the targets of litigation when other defendants do not have the means to pay high damage awards,” he said. Wills explained other jurisdictions have implemented legislative protections, but Ontario has not, which results in increased inCounty pushes for reform surance premiums.

While an upload of social services created some temporary budget flexibility, real growth in assessment has been limited. The ratepayer affordability white paper analyses typical residents of rural eastern Ontario in terms of earnings, demographics, education and shelter costs/home ownership. An environmental services paper examines water/waste water and sewer expenditures as well as solid waste management and associated liabilities. Finally, the social housing white paper highlights declining federal support and subsidies combined with changing housing needs, including increased mental health issues and an increase in hoarding and other damage, as well as increased energy costs. In all of the white papers, recommendations are provided for local, regional and provincial bodies in terms of strategic approaches, collaboration and advocacy.

REAL announces action grant winners News – The Rideau Environmental Action League (REAL) is proud to be celebrating its 25th year this month. The local volunteer organization was formed on the premise that people can make a real environmental difference by taking small actions in their own backyards. In celebration of its anniversary and thanks to a generous REAL supporter, REAL was able to offer $250 REAL action grants to non-profit community groups for projects benefitting the local environment. Groups had until Oct. 3 to submit proposals. The winners were announced at REAL’s annual Local Foods Harvest Dinner Oct. 18.

Several projects had a gardening and local food theme. Grants went to the Drummond Central School Parent Council for rain barrels and tools for their pumpkin patch project. The SFDCI Food Program and special needs class for raised garlic beds in their community garden and the Lanark Highlands Youth Centre for a freezer to preserve produce grown in their community garden. Other projects were on a reducing waste theme. REAL awarded grants to: YAK Youth Services, to support their Green Volunteer Program, the SFDCI Environmental Club for their water

bottle filling station and Community Support Services Perth, for an in-house recycling program. Other winners received funding towards larger projects: SADV Women’s Monument Committee for a tree to be planted in Perth to honour women who have been victims of violence, TYPS Youth Centre in Almonte for their parks and garden program and Carleton Place High School Enviro Project for their winter field camp, where students will study climate change.

At a special meeting on Oct. 8, council approved a bylaw to sell the county property known as “5N” in Tay Valley Township. The 240-acre property was originally intended to be a county-wide landfill site, but the initiative dissolved in 1999 and the property was declared surplus to the county’s needs in December 2013. A disposal process was undertaken with the nine local municipalities that originally contributed to the process to develop the landfill. The property was sold by public tender to the highest compliant bidder, 2218737

As in previous years, eight homes will be featured on the 2014 edition of the tour, including six heritage homes and two new builds with historic characteristics. “There’s a lot of variety for people on the tour this year,” noted the CFUW’s Judy Hollinger, in charge of house tour publicity. “The only new homes are two timber frame homes built on very old barns, so we’re very happy with the lineup,” added CFUW president and house tour cochair, Jackie Boyer. Hollinger said another interesting aspect is that several of the homes are of a smaller scale. “It allows people to get decorating ideas they can use in their own home, so I think there’s something for everyone,” she remarked. “There are no mid-century modern houses because this is a Perth heritage tour. Jackie has done a wonderful job finding houses this year.” In addition to getting a peek inside the homes, each one has been paired with a local decorator to bring the holidays indoors. Musicians (pianists, cellists and harpists) will be showcased at each spot as well, including Canadian folk singer/songwriter James Keelaghan.

with massive ceilings keeps many of the workmanship and artistry that it had as a barn. “Looks can be deceiving. You step in the front door of this home and it is huge compared to the outside,” said Boyer. Imposing and immense, some of the wood pieces used in the construction feature words carved into it. Kelly’s Flowers will handle the decor. A red brick farmhouse will be found at 119 Perkins Road, with a statement-making wraparound veranda, framed by maple trees. Known locally as the Stafford House, it bears original flooring upstairs, wood trim and a back staircase. The large dining room and kitchen have been recently renovated. “I love this home,” remarked Boyer. “The veranda wraps around the 1900s home which has some really interesting features inside and is beautifully finished.” The homeowner will be han-

dling the interior Christmas decor, but floral arrangements will be provided by Gemmell’s Flowers. Last up is 966 Christie Lake Road (Miramar Farm), which boasts a Nepean sandstone exterior and grand columns, as well as a rare curved dormer on the roofline that makes for an impressive sight from the road. “It’s a grand home and one of very few in the country that has that round peak in the gable of the roof,” Boyer commented. The homeowner here will also handle the holiday decor with SweetPea’s Fresh Flowers creating floral arrangements for the space. Finding homes In its seventh year, the house tour is a “very well-oiled machine,” noted Hollinger. Boyer traditionally starts seeking out new homes for next year’s tour in January. On her travels, she often sees something that sets a house apart from another and

will knock on the door to find out more. A large crop of volunteers and house captains will be stationed at each stop to ensure the tour runs smoothly. All funds raised will go towards supporting education-related initiatives for girls throughout Lanark County to aid those pursuing post-secondary studies or women returning to the workforce that may require additional skills. “We also donate to local schools and libraries and have given more than $125,000 over

the last eight years from the house tour alone,” Boyer said. Tickets in the form of tour brochures, are $30 each and are now available at the following locations: Crush Marketplace in Almonte (14 Mill Street, 613-4612211); Oderin Kitchen Supplies in Kingston (57 Brock Street, 613-531-4544); Unravelled in Merrickville (108 St. Lawrence

The heritage style home bears a modern touch on the inside, including a spacious kitchen and third floor loft, which provides a nice view of the Tay River. “The wallpaper in the foyer of this home is so modern and beautiful,” Hollinger said. Boyer said the updated kitchen with cathedral ceiling is a “complete surprise.” “You don’t expect it (kitchen) and it’s lovely. The house is three floors and has the most gorgeous staircase going all the way up,” she commented. Apropos Flowers will be providing a touch of the holidays at this home.

Susan Storie of Mariposa Design will add a Christmas theme to the home for the tour. The first timber frame home on the tour is at 330 8th Concession, off Otty Lake Side Road. A new construction by Gibson Timber Frames, its owners, the home has been lovingly constructed with energy efficiency in mind. Log rafters from old barns make up the ceilings and a post-and-beam back portico are two impressive features. Art & Class Studio Boutique will use natural materials to create holiday decor in the home. The other timber frame construction at 312 8th Concession, off Otty Lake Side Road, is also known as the Yarker Barn House as its previous life was as a barn in Yarker. The post-and-beam home

Tourism stakeholders in Ontario’s Highlands ‘wander’ toward authentic visitor experiences

Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization (OHTO) held its fourth annual tourism conference in Haliburton Oct. 27. During the conference, which included guest speakers and several presentations, a new board of directors was also selected, above. Below, OHTO executive director Nicole Whiting addresses the nearly 100 tourism businesses gathered for the conference.

speakers and workshops. Dorothy Payne, president and chair of Synergy Louisbourg, kicked the day off with a keynote presentation showcasing how a nearby Canadian region, located at the eastern edge of Nova Scotia, was able to change its perception with visitors from “dead end” to “destination” by focusing in on the needs of a targeted guest – “We couldn’t be all things to all people,” she says –and honouring the stories found within the community. Next, Fred Sheppard, an Interpreter with Gros Morne National Park, began his presentation by bursting into song, demonstrating that everyone has a story to tell and highlighting “Rule number six” of storytelling: don’t take yourself too seriously. Sheppard walked OHTO members through some of the key elements of telling their stories in an authentic way, such as focusing on the positive, being themselves and creating experiences that are real, unique and sensory. A key takeaway from his presentation? Grab hold of what sets you apart from your neighbours. “Visitors want a different story when they come

to your different communities,” he said. The second day of the conference enabled tourism operators to identify and share their stories through a series of tourism workshops on topics such as travel media, digital strategies (including TripAdvisor) and an introduction to travel trade. “In the coming year, we look forward to sharing more of our region’s local stories and inviting visitors to wander and create their own stories among our hidden gems and undiscovered places,” says Whiting. “As J. R. R. Tolkien famously said, all those who wander are not lost.” About the OHTO The Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization (OHTO) is a not-for-profit organization mandated by the Province of Ontario to increase tourism within the counties of Haliburton, Lanark, and Renfrew and portions of Frontenac, Hastings, and Lennox and Addington.

News – When Marc Whitehead, senior strategist for Karo Group, hit the ‘stop’ button on a video he just finished playing for a group of nearly 100 tourism businesses from Ontario’s Highlands at the Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization’s (OHTO) fourth annual Tourism Conference on Oct. 27, there was a brief pause in the room. The video was part of a powerful presentation that encouraged tourism operators in Ontario’s Highlands to embrace experiencebased, visitor-centric marketing and product development, unveiling the OHTO’s new brand promise to its members and tourism stakeholders by capturing the spirit of an exciting new visitor profile with potential to drive tourism to the region. Coupling experiential images of “slowing down” and “disconnecting in Ontario’s Highlands with a relaxed voiceover that encouraged seeing every inch of the region as a potential travel destination, the video spoke of our rural communities’ unique capacity for making authentic, personal connections with guests and appealing to their desire to escape, unwind and spontaneously discover their next big (physical and emotional) adventure. For the rest of the two-day conference, there was a new word buzzing around Haliburton’s Pinestone Resort: wandering. At the heart of the brand promise? That, sometimes, the best way to recharge is to slow down, look around and just wander, letting every new discovery along the way become its own opportunity to stimulate the senses and nourish the soul. “We are excited to see that our partners support our new brand direction and can begin to see themselves playing a key role in working with us to create captivating, memorable tourism experiences to help bring new visitors to Ontario’s Highlands,” says Nicole Whiting, OHTO’s executive director. “By working together to share our stories, visitors are going to walk away remembering more than our landscape, accommodations and activities. We can truly enrich their travels and compete with ‘big city’ destinations by connecting with our visitors on an emotional level. Now that the brand platform is released, we look forward to bringing the vision to life in collaboration with our stakeholders.” In addition to the presentation of OHTO’s visitor-centric strategy, the agenda for the tourism conference also included a review of the organization’s hot-off-the-press 2013-14 annual report (available for download on ohto.ca later this week), the election of a new board of directors, the recognition of hardworking tourism businesses who were awarded an OHvation designation for their commitment to customer service, and several keynote

Commentary

We can always go a bit further

ditorial – As part of a sermon at a local church recently, a visiting pastor emphasized the importance of going a bit further. It’s advice that is not limited to our spiritual needs; it can be applied to so many different aspects of our lives. For those of us who have let certain things slide when it comes to relationships, our health and our jobs, there is a sense of empowerment associated with realizing we can always do a little more to improve our situations or those faced by others. With that in mind, we would like to encourage local residents to go a bit further when it comes to honouring those who served our country. There is more we can do than just turn out at a cenotaph for half an hour on Nov. 11. The act of wearing a poppy is important in terms of awareness and symbolism, but contributing money to a poppy campaign is even more valuable. Proceeds from the local Royal

Canadian Legion campaigns provide direct support for veterans and the services they need. The money might be used to cover transportation costs associated with medical treatment and appointments. There are also service such as meals on wheels or palliative care that benefit from the annual poppy drives; one way or another, revenue from poppy sales helps the people who served their country and ours. We can always go a bit further. Attending a Remembrance Day ceremony is a small way that Canadians can honour the men and women who put their lives on the line. Wearing a poppy is another step in the right direction, but supporting the poppy program with more than just a coin or two sends a message to the rest of the community that we are truly grateful for their service and that we are willing to help the veterans’ in their later years. Lest we forget.

made for Audrey and me and it would do nicely to cover the unsightly salt pork barrel! So one morning, after we had heard the old foot pedal churning away on the Singer sewing machine long after we had gone to bed, we came down to find the little barrel covered from top to bottom with a mauve and yellow flowered skirt. Since there was no lid on the barrel (the plate had been removed), Mother had simply made the skirt with a round inset at the top, and both Audrey and I thought the whole idea added a lovely touch to the kitchen. “Nonsense” we could hear Father mutter in his saucer of green tea when he came in from his morning chores in the barn,

Province kicks off first Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week News – Ontario is kicking off its first Carbon Monoxide (CO) Awareness Week to talk about the importance of installing CO alarms to keep families and homes in Ontario safe. This public education campaign, Beat the Silent Killer, runs from Nov.1-8 and is led by fire services across the province. They will be hosting events to spread the message and raise awareness about the dangers of carbon monoxide and the importance of installing detectors in residential dwellings. “Increasing awareness about the dangers of carbon monoxide and the importance of installing a CO alarm is why this week is so important. I urge all Ontarians to install carbon monoxide alarm immediately – a simple, affordable action everyone can take to help protect their families and their homes,” said Yasir Naqvi, Minister of Community Safety and

he just let it lie in a heap on the floor by the little barrel, which annoyed Mother almost as much as when Father slurped his tea out of his saucer. Aunt Bertha on the next farm thought the skirt was a lovely idea and said she was going to do the same thing to their little pork barrel. Everyone thought it was fine except Father. Our minister never seemed to have a reason to pay a visit. But his call always seemed to be at mealtime, which Mother said assured him of at least one good meal that day. And so that Saturday, just before noon dinner, in walked the minister, bible in hand, and even though it was a cold fall day, with snow flurries dusting through the air, the sweat was pouring off his round, fat face. Mother took his coat, and told him to “please be seated, Reverend.” He headed for the armed chair, plopped down like a sack of grain, wiped his face with the sleeve of his black shirt

Correctional Services. “Now that Ontario has mandated the installation and maintenance of carbon monoxide alarms in existing homes with a fuel-fired heating system or appliance, fireplace or attached garage, it’s up to Ontario families to be responsible for their CO safety,” added Tadeusz (Ted) Wieclawek, Ontario Fire Marshal and chief of emergency management. “I urge everyone to get involved in Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week and learn how to protect themselves against this silent killer.” Establishing an annual awareness week was part of Bill 77 passed last year, which made CO alarms mandatory in all Ontario homes. Working with partners to increase fire and carbon monoxide safety is part of the government’s plan to keep Ontario families safe. “This week is a great time to focus

on the dangers associated with this silent killer, and I want to thank Canadian Tire for their generous donation of 100 CO alarms. If a CO alarm goes off in your home, never assume it’s a false alarm or the alarm is defective. CO alarms are very reliable, high-tech devices and it is imperative that we treat every alarm seriously,” said John Gignac, co-chair, Hawkins-Gignac Foundation for CO Education.

and placed his bible on top of the pork barrel. It was a big bible, well worn...the one he carried up to the pulpit every Sunday. Well, it sunk into the pork barrel, like a stone in a wash tub, taking most off the skirt with it. He looked at it for what seemed like a full minute, and then reached down into the barrel and pulled it out. It was covered with salt water, and brine crystals had already settled on the cover of the bible. Mother rushed over, grabbed the bible and was wiping it up and down on her apron as she headed for the dish pan and a dry tea towel. The minister decided he’d be on his way...he’d be back on another day, he said, never taking his eyes off the pork barrel, now with most of the skirt inside it. It looked like the bible was finished. But that Sunday, there he was, walking up the aisle to the front of the church with the four members of the choir, and the battered bible clutched in his hand. He always nod-

Nathan Cirillo, the army reservist from Hamilton who was ambushed at the National War Memorial and shot to death by a coward. Cirillo’s name will forever remain with those of us who were alive when these terrible events took place. Thanks to the bravery of Parliamentary Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers, a former RCMP officer, the name of the shooter can quickly be forgotten. His sad story is only important in terms of the lessons learned about what causes people like him to walk among us. In the wake of all of this what impressed me the most was the reaction of the majority of my fellow Canadians. Instead of being afraid, we were angry. Our anger later turned to compassion for the victim and his family and applause for Mr. Vickers and security staff on the Hill. This violence and death has only strengthened our resolve to deal effectively with terrorism and terrorists. And deal with them we will have to because in my opinion this incident is the tip of the iceberg. There is almost certain to be more death and destruction as the people of the free world attempt to wipe this scourge from the face of the earth. Certainly questions have to be asked about security at key sites and installations, beginning with Parliament Hill the seat of national government. The RCMP weren’t far behind this madman. But behind him they were. It was only due to the bravery and quick reaction by Vickers and those who were suddenly confronted by the killer, inside the Hall of Honour of Parliament, that even more bloodshed was avoided. I visit Parliament Hill several times a year. Often I am guiding student exchange visitors from Carleton Place’s twin communities in Scotland and the United States. On other occasions I take family members or friends from outside the area, or outside Canada, on a tour of my hometown. I know the Hill and especially the Centre Block of Parliament very well. I have also been there on many occasions in my role as a journalist. The last time I was inside was in June when I accompanied students from Franklin, Tennessee to Parliament Hill on a tour. To be honest I have often wondered about the rather loose looking security arrangement inside the main entrance, something that quickly became a flash point for criticism in the wake of the recent shooting spree. While visitors to the Centre Block are required to pass through an elabo-

Lifestyle – It is easy to be a critic and in the wake of the recent shootings in Ottawa there has been unlimited discussion and more than enough criticism of the security on Parliament Hill. Still, I have my own insight – including firsthand experience on the Hill – and this week I am going to weigh in on the subject. The reality is that Canada and Canadians have been somewhat complacent when it comes to our own security. Not even 9/11 and its aftermath was enough to completely open our eyes with respect to this vital issue. Perhaps we felt immune somehow to what happened south of the border, despite the fact some of our countrymen were victims of the terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, DC. During my life I have spent a lot of time on Parliament Hill. In recent years the Hill and the federal government has become an even bigger part of our lives, because our son works there. On the morning of Oct. 22 I was just returning from a local political event and hadn’t even hung up my jacket when the phone rang. It was a Carleton Place friend who works at National Defence headquarters in downtown Ottawa. He said he and his colleagues were in lockdown following the shooting spree. He told me reports were that more than one gunman remained on the loose. I was surprised of course, but not shocked. I have been expecting this sort of thing for several years and given recent events related to Islamic extremists the grim news wasn’t unexpected. “Jeff, I know your lad works on the Hill. Give him a call and make sure he’s OK. Call me back,” my friend said before ringing off. I set a record dialing Craig’s private number. You can imagine my relief when he answered on the second ring. “No worries,” he said. “We’re just sitting here waiting to see what happens.” Where he is located, he had a ringside seat as this violent and heinous chapter in Canadian history played out. You have to know my son. He was upset by the outburst of madness that had disrupted his day. But at that point he felt all was under control. His concern was about getting back to work because his office is a very busy place. That didn’t happen. Hours later he and his fellow staffers were evacuated by the RCMP. Craig was fortunate. His car was parked outside the exclusion zone. He later called to say he was home and watching events unfold from the safer vantage point of his living room couch. I breathed yet another sigh of relief and called Kathleen at work to update her. That evening I heard the full account of what happened to Craig and his colleagues and even though it was

that incident. Much more recently, on Dec. 7, 2009, Greenpeace protesters left RCMP security red-faced when they managed to scale the roof of the West Block on Parliament Hill and unfurl giant banners demanding government action on climate change. As a result of that embarrassing incident security costs on the Hill quadrupled in just one calendar year. Evidently, however, not all of the security holes were plugged. That was starkly revealed during the recent shooting spree which happened just outside a meeting room where Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his cabinet were in caucus. Imagine how much worse it might have been if the

shooter had carried an automatic weapon or if he was wired with explosives and turned suicide bomber. It doesn’t bear thinking about. House of Commons Speaker Andrew Scheer, who is in charge of the Parliamentary precincts, very quickly ordered a comprehensive review of security on the Hill. It will be interesting to see what springs from that? One thing is certain. More security is a must at major public buildings including transportation centres in this country. Yes, it will be costly. But given what just happened in our nation’s capital I think that is the least of our worries.

Community – For many people, the sex we are born with is consistent with how we see ourselves. But for others, the sex and the gender identity don’t match. Those faced with this often feel uncomfortable in their own skin, as if they don’t match their birth sex and feel like the other sex. Gender identity has been defined as “an individual’s self-conception of being male or female as

Mississipppi Mudds make panto a tradition for more than 25 years Arts – Twenty-five years ago, for Christmas 1989, the Mudds presented their first panto, a version of Cinderella written by John Crocker. It was a smash hit and led to their tradition of trying to present a panto nearly every Christmas. Playwright John Crocker describes the pantomime, as we know it today, as a form of entertainment all on its own, derived from a number of different sources – the commedia dell’arte, (and all that that’s derived from), the ballet, the opera, the music hall and the realm of folklore and fairy tale. Elements from all of these are still to be found in it. This strange mixture has created a splendidly topsy-turvy world where men are women, women are men, where the present is embraced in the past, where people are hit but not hurt, where authority is continually flouted, where fun is poked at everything, including pantomime itself at times, and, above all, where magic abounds and dreams invariably come true. In other words, it is – or should be – fun. Fun to do and fun to watch! For both Judith and Tony Scott, once again directing Cinderella for the Mudds, panto is an ingrained English Christmas tradition. Tony’s first experience with panto was at the age of five. His parents took him to the Portsmouth Hippodrome to see Mother Goose and he remembers loving

The Mississippi Mudds are preparing for its annual Christmas panto. This year, the theatre group will perform Cinderella, which will contain plenty of musical numbers and laughs.

the chorus of geese. They looked so beautiful. Widely loved in the UK it has been adopted by Canadians more and more in the last 30 years. For Judith, taking their own children to see Karen Kain and Ross Petty at the National Arts Centre was hugely entertaining. Watching the kids’ reactions to the villains and comics and the chance for them to shout out with boos and cheers and “It’s behind you!” made for an enjoyable experience for all. The combination of popular songs, traditional stories, physical comedy and fantastic costumes makes the genre a perfect outlet for community theatre groups. It is a genre that can be tailored to fit the strengths of the cast you have. For the Mudds it perfectly show-

cases their strength in music and comic acting. For this holiday season, the Mudds bring a slightly updated version of that first Cinderella. There is so much to entertain in this panto package. Take musical numbers from Minuet to Hill Billy, Irving Berlin to Ylvis, Buble and Barenaked Ladies to the Beatles, add comedy from Keystone Cops, to puns, to good old custard pies and work it all around a familiar magical story to appeal to all ages. What more could you want? Come out to the Carleton Place Town Hall this holiday season and make the panto your family tradition! You won’t be disappointed. The dates are Nov. 28 at 7:30 p.m., Nov. 29 at 7:30 p.m., Nov. 30 at 2 p.m., Dec. 5 at 7:30 p.m., and Dec. 6 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 (evenings) and $15 (matinees), from Reads Book Shop, 135 Bridge Street in Carleton Place (613-257-7323).

Pet Valu in Perth raises more than $2,000 in month of October for LAWS

Lifestyle – A big shout out and a thank you to Perth Pet Valu for making October “Fundraising for LAWS” month. A huge amount of food as well as more than $2,000 was raised. Thank you to the owner and all the employees for organizing it and a huge thank you to the public for all their kind donations. Every dollar counts as well as every can of food, toys, cat litter, etc. that was sent to LAWS. It means a lot to all of us at LAWS to receive such great support from our local pet stores. We can’t thank you enough! LAWS will have a booth (#622) at the Ottawa Pet Expo Nov. 8 and 9 at the EY Centre in Ottawa (4899 Uplands Drive). This event is for the thousands of pets and pet owners in eastern Ontario and western Quebec. Be sure to drop by our booth. For more information about the event, visit www.ottawapetexpo. ca/.

aware of his protective instincts. He is not suitable for a household with children and cats. A quick learner, he is working on basic obedience skills at the shelter but requires rigorous training in socialization and leash skills. He will require plenty of mental stimulation and physical exercise, at least one hour per day. If you’re interested in dog sports and activities, Monty could make an excellent partner.

This week’s featured pets Monty Monty’s personality is what you would expect from a Rhodesian Ridgeback mix, intelligent, determined and independent. He is courageous and sturdy with the endurance of a marathon runner. This healthy young fellow will require minimal grooming (although he will shed). Monty is cautious and guarded when meeting new people, and will do best with a dog-savvy owner

Matt Please meet this two-year-old grey and white male cat. He was brought to us in September and clearly belonged to a loving family. He was already neutered before we got him and is very social. So far, nobody came looking for him. Maybe it’s your cat and you’ve lost hope seeing him back? Matt is extremely handsome,

Autumn’s getting hot at Full Circle Theatre Pride are available at the Perth and District Union Library, for which the series is a fundraiser. Smiths Falls-born singer Kate Weekes returns from an extended stay in the Yukon on Nov. 22 at 7:30 p.m. for the CD release party for her hot new album, Frost On Black Fur. Along with Kate will be special guest Grant Simpson, whose barrel-house piano style creates its own heat. Tickets for the concert are available at www.shadowfax.on.ca. All that is pretty hot, but the hottest event for November opens on Nov. 28. BarnDoor Productions’ (BDP) second show of the season is a reprise of their hilariously funny, very informative and just plain fun Christmas offering from last season. Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some) is a side-splitting, outrageously silly romp through, well, every Christmas story ever told. From the Grinch to Rudolf, from Charlie Brown to Ebenezer Scrooge, with educational (and funny) sidetrips to Easter Island, Iceland and more (did you know that, in Sweden, Santa Claus is known as Jultomten and is thought to hide under the floorboards?). It’s an outright romp for its cast of three veterans: David Bird (Gaslight, Free Spirits and dozens more), Joe Laxton (The Country Wife, Mis-

ter Chase and as many dozens more) and David Jacklin, BDP’s producing director (whose one-man show Mark Twain’s Patent Scrapbook will be touring the region in January). Directed, or perhaps refereed is a better word, by BDP’s co-producing director Janice Jacklin, the show is the most fun you can have about Christmas and is sure to get everyone who sees it in the mood. Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some) runs Nov. 28, 29, Dec. 4, 5, 6 at 8 p.m. and Nov. 30 and Dec. 7 at 2 p.m. All the information you need (and ticket reservations for Every Christmas Story Ever Told) can be found at www.barndoorproductions.ca, along with photos, video, upcoming events (and auditions) and much more.

DON’T DUMP IT… BLUE BOX IT! The simple act of recycling has more impact on the environment than the average Canadian thinks. The amount of wood and paper North Americans throw away each year is enough to heat five million homes for 200 years.

From international cinema to returning musical talent to the best of community theatre, Full Circle is heating up the chill of autumn. August: Osage County is as hot as it comes. Set in a sweltering heat wave in Oklahoma, it’s also a hot property as a play. The Pulitzer, Tony and just about every other award-winning play by American playwright Tracy Letts is the February play in BarnDoor Productions’ 20th anniversary season and open auditions are being held on Monday, Nov. 17, beginning at 7 p.m. The cast for this play is big – seven female and six males – so BDP encourages both veterans and newcomers to join them for a “no-pressure”, fun ramble through a remarkable play. There’s nothing to prepare, just show up. Film Night International’s fall series has been a hot one, as well, with record crowds in attendance. The final event of the fall season will be on Nov. 19, with Pride, the true story of how, in 1984, a London-based gay activist group came together to support striking workers in a small Welsh town. Screenings are at 2 and 7 p.m., on Full Circle Theatre’s wide-screen, surround-sound system. Tickets for

Lanark County chooses the winners at My Town’s Got Talent finale Community – There was a charge in the air at the Gallipeau Centre Theatre in Smiths Falls on Saturday, Nov. 1 for the fifth year finale of United Way Lanark County’s (UWLC) My Town’s Got Talent (MTGT), presented by Metrolandmedia, Town and Country Chrysler, The Valley Players and the Gallipeau Centre. It was a tough choice, but the celebrity judges managed to select the top five from among 15 outstanding youth performances, and then it was up to the audience to select the final winner, along with the top host. During the evening, MTGT also announced the winner of the logo design contest for the Human Library project. “It was an outstanding field this year,” according to artistic director Christy Bindhardt, “one of the best groups of talent I have seen in the five years – solo singers, duos, a

trio, several Broadway musical presentations, a magician, and even a comedy act, making it a really tough choice for the judges to select the final five.” After strong discussions, the judging team, made up of Catherine Clark from Almonte, an actor and musician currently starring in Fiddler on the Roof in Ottawa, longtime Carleton Place Mudds music director Laurel Tye, Montague reeve and musician Bill Dobson, Lake 88’s Brian Perkin and Smiths Falls bayor and musician Dennis Staples, did manage to choose the five finalists. They selected Madelyn Fyfe, Emily Richardson, and Jessica Wedden, all from Perth, Zach Dods from Almonte and the duo of Sara Milligan (Almonte) & Isaac Matthews-Hanna (Perth). While the judges were deliberating on the final five, the MTGT Team were counting the audience votes for

best host from among the three finalists, Jessica Judd from Carleton Place, Clifford Glas from Smiths Falls and Breanne Murray from Almonte. The audience warmly welcomed back to MTGT the original gost and creator of the event, Jeff Gourgon, who announced that Clifford Glas won the hearts of the audience, with Breanne and Jessica following up. “This was the second year for the host contest at the finale and all three See TALENT page 29

performed exceptionally well,” noted Bindhardt. “The contest allowed us to showcase youth in another role on stage. Radio hosts in Lanark better watch out with these three out there!” As the second part of the evening started, winning host Clifford Glas took over and introduced each of the final five acts, as they tried to win the audience’s hearts and votes with their second performance of the evening. During the counting of the ballots, Danny Albert, twice a top five finalist, returned to the MTGT stage for a spirited fiddle performance. Danny is currently rehearsing with the Orpheus Musical Theatre Society for their upcoming production of Fiddler on the Roof as, of course, the fiddler – the show takes place in November at Centrepointe Theatre. After a stellar appearance by Albert, Bindhardt took to the stage to announce the winner of the design contest for a new logo for the Human Library Project, sponsored by the United Way and the five libraries in Lanark County – Perth, Mississippi Mills, Smiths Falls, Carleton Place, and Lanark Highlands. “It was a very tough choice, as we had three very strong designs competing to be the logo for the spring 2015 edition of the project,” said Fraser Scantlebury, show producer and executive director of UWLC. “A panel of librarians and artist Jessica Plager from JB Arts judged the designs, and selected the winner, Christian Van Campen of Almonte, with Liam Ryan of Carleton Place in second, followed by Zach Dods of Almonte in third place. Christian’s logo was felt to best represent the spirit of the project.” All logos are available for viewing online at www.mtgt.org. Finally, it was time to announce the winners of the 2014 MTGT fifth year finale. The audience voted duo Sara and Isaac as the overall winner, with fiddler Jessica Wedden second, composer and animator Zach Dods third, singer Emily Richardson fourth, with singer Madelyn Fyfe taking fifth spot. As part of the prize package for wining, Sara and Isaac won two return tickets from Smiths Falls to Toronto courtesy of VIA Rail Canada, along with a complimentary two-night stay, courtesy of Toron-

to’s Fairmount Royal York Hotel. “It was a great show, and all of the youth did an outstanding job for the audience, in all categories,” said Scantlebury. “It just proves how much talent we have here in the county. This year marks the fifth and final edition of MTGT in its current format, and we certainly went out on a high note,” he added. “During the five years, we have had more than 300 youth in Lanark County come out to our auditions, perform, and work backstage on the show, which is just phenomenal. It was also a great night for the United Way, and we want to thank

everyone who donated at the door and online – it means so much to our annual campaign.” “We also appreciate the support of all of our sponsors, including Lake 88, L-D Tool & Die, and the Royal Canadian Legion Branch in Perth – they helped make this show possible,” continued Scantlebury. “We also received wonderful assistance from all of the local high schools and both school boards – the UCDSB and CDSBEO. Finally, we could not put this show on without the volunteer support of students, the five youth centres, and volunteers from across the county.” Some of the MTGT top five final-

ists will be performing at upcoming events in the county – be sure to watch for the announcements. “This is a great opportunity for everyone to support these talented youth and to see just how great they are and we want to thank everyone again for the wonderful support we have had over the years,” said Bindhardt.

Vancouver’s Harpdog Brown, left, brought his bluesy sound to The Cove Inn in Wesport Oct. 24 as part of the Blues on The Rideau concert series. Above, Brown with Gary Kendall, right, on bass.

Vancouver’s Harpdog Brown takes over Blues on The Rideau Community – Who let the Dog out? Vancouver’s Harpdog Brown was on the loose at Blues on The Rideau concert series at The Cove Inn in Westport Friday night, Oct. 24 and the crowd loved it – eating up his “take no prisoners” harmonica playing, deep bluesy voice, great selection of songs (most of them original) and entertaining showmanship. Now I know what western Canadian and Pacific Northwest blues fans have been talking about for years! Harpdog has the kind of feel for the blues that only comes with experience and he’s got a ton of it. His young guitarist from Victoria, Jordan Edmonds, accompanied him beautifully all night long – not showy just tight and good. And of course Downchild members Gary Kendall on bass and Mike Fitzpatrick on drums provided a rock solid backline. The Cove buffet was delicious as usual, the dance floor stayed packed all night and $560 was raised for the Westport Public Library. All in all, a wonderful evening. What a terrific way to kick off the new season! Regular attendee Laura Reeves of Smiths Falls said The Cove provides a “great relaxed atmosphere, friendly people, good music…nines and tens out of 10 for venue, food, service, band

and sound.” “Great show! Harpdog makes that harp talk!” added Portland’s Daphne Buckley. First-time attendee Denise LaViolette said “the food and service was super. Harpdog Brown was extremely enjoyable. Ten out of 10 for everything.” Next up for the Blues on The Rideau series is Nov. 21 when two-time Juno and multiple Maple Blues Award winners, Fathead of Toronto, will perform. Proceeds will go to the Westport Food Bank, so guests are asked to bring a nonperishable food item with them. The dinner and show is $60 and advance reservations are required. Accommodations are available as well. Call 1-888-COVE-INN for more information or visit www.bluesontherideau.ca or www.coveinn.com. Blues On The Rideau is produced by Choose The Blues Productions (www. choosetheblues.ca) in co-operation with the Cove Inn, Westport. It is sponsored by Dan Aykroyd Wines (www.danaykroydwines.com), 101.9 DAWG FM Ottawa (www.dawgfm.com) and LAKE 88.1 (www.lake88.ca). Turn to page 32 for more photos of the evening’s show.

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

Chatham-built 1921 Gray-Dort still like new with low mileage He bought the car and drove it home – and that’s when antique cars became his life-long passion. A year later in River Canard, he discovered a 1921 Gray Dort touring car with 326 original miles on it! Alex bought it for $135 and got it running and on the road by the summer of 1954. Later that summer, he invited seven other old car enthusiasts to meet in his living room in Windsor to plan the formation of an

antique car club. Alex and his young family at that time were living at the Towne and Country Motel at 3215 Howard Avenue, which is still there. The club became known as the Historic Vehicle Society of Ontario (HVSO). Alex’s life-long dream of a

car museum came a big step closer in October 1973 when he played a major role in having the HVSO acquire 54 acres of land on the Arner Town Line for what is now the Southwestern Ontario Heritage Village. Once the Village became established, it was not long before the Canadian Transportation Museum was built at that location. Alex Horen’s Gray-Dort is now on display at that museum near Kingsville, Ontario, and well worth a visit (519-7766909). Gray-Dort cars were built in Chatham, Ontario, from 1915 to 1925, and the one at the museum might be the best origi-

nal example in existence. These cars acquired their unusual name because the Gray family in Chatham teamed up with the Dort automobile company of Flint, Michigan, to build cars based on the Dort design and using Dort parts. The GrayDort sold well across Canada and about 26,000 were built during its 10-year production span. When the Dort company in Michigan went out of business, the supply of parts evaporated and the Gray-Dort name passed into history. At the peak of its popularity in the early ‘20s, the Gray-Dort company employed 800 people in Chatham and the

Lifestyle – On Wednesday, Oct. 8, the old car hobby lost one of its most enthusiastic members when Alex Horen, formerly of Windsor, Ontario, passed away in his 90th year with his girls (wife and three daughters) singing “You are our sunshine” at his side. Alex was “bitten by the old car bug” in 1951 on Tecumseh Road in Windsor when he spotted a 1917 Chev 490 touring car for sale on a used car lot for $50.

Lifestyle – It’s an item 90 per cent of Canadians have in their cupboards and it’s one that – when eaten regularly – is associated with an increased likelihood of meeting daily nutrient targets and maintaining healthier body weights. But, according to the results of a national poll, four in 10 Canadians are missing out on eating this pantry staple. What is it? The answer is cereal, and according to the results of a national poll conducted by Ipsos Reid on behalf of Breakfast Cereals Canada, 38 per cent of Canadians chose not to eat a bowl of cereal for breakfast within the past week, with one in ten saying they never eat cereal at all. That doesn’t mean Canadians don’t know cereal is good for them: when given a list of words they associate with cereal, 46 per cent cited “fibre”, 40 per cent mentioned “whole grains” and 33 per cent responded “nutritious.” “That Canadians recognize the important place cereal holds in their diet is a good first step,” says Lydia Knorr, a registered dietitian in Toronto. “But when

they were polled about why they’re not eating cereal, there were some misperceptions in the role cereal can play within a healthy diet.” Indeed, when asked which factors would lessen the likelihood of buying or eating cereal, “too much sugar” was the most commonly cited factor with 41 per cent saying sugar is a deterrent. “Too expensive” was the next most common reply (35 per cent) followed by “too many preservatives” (24 per cent), artificial colours (23 per cent) and “it’s a processed food” (18 per cent). “As a dietitian, it makes me happy to hear that consumers are taking factors such as sugar and additives in their foods seriously and want to know more,” says Knorr, herself a mother of three. “But what many people don’t realize is that cereals can provide more iron, folic acid, zinc, B vitamins and fibre than other conventional breakfast choice.” For those concerned about sugar, studies have shown that when looking at overall dietary intake, sugar from breakfast

cereals – even pre-sweetened brands – accounts for less than five per cent of overall sugar in people’s diets. Sodium from cereal contributes just three per cent of the average Canadian intake. Meanwhile, research has shown that because breakfast cereal is almost always served with milk, having a bowl can help kids get closer to meeting the Canada Food Guide recommendation of three milk servings a day – a target on which more than half of kids over 10 years of age fall short. And, with the average price of cereal (including milk) at just 53 cents per serving, it’s an economical choice as well. If you want to know more about what’s in your cereal bowl, visit www.inthebowl.ca or connect on Facebook (www. Facebook.com/whatsinthebowlcanada). And, for every ‘share’ of the website or Facebook page, Breakfast Cereals Canada is giving one bowl of cereal to Food Banks Canada up to a maximum of $25,000. Submitted by Breakfasts Cereals Canada.

The importance of planning and designing your project Take some pictures, sketch a few mock-ups, and if you have it available, use computer software to create a virtual version of your final project.

Before finding a landscaper, take some time to learn about your space by taking good measurements and considering

exactly what it is you want to do with it. This can go a long way when working with your contractor to figure out how to best arrive at your desired outcome. If you’re working on the project by yourself, planning and getting accurate measurements is even more essential, as without them your project likely won’t be completed correctly, if at all. It’s also important to visualize what your space looks like now and what it will become.

To make your project an easy and successful one, reach out to Canlok Stone. With 43 years of experience, they know how to help you complete your project correctly, safely and with ease all at a great price as well. To learn more about Canlok Stone, visit them online canlok.com, call 613-828-7686 or visit their showroom in person at 950 Moodle Drive in Nepean.

R0022957219/1030

When planning your outdoor space Nepean’s own Canlok Stone canlok.com understands it can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to finding the right landscaper for the job. However, many in the Ottawa-Carlton region have found that some research and a focus on your project’s goal can be significant factors in making it successful.

Additionally, always keep in mind your space’s final goals. Are you looking to create an outdoor kitchen complete with a BBQ or is your main goal a quiet garden with a tranquil waterfall? It may seem obvious, but each project has different needs. When you’re working with your landscaper, take time out to ensure the materials such as stones are appropriate for the job at hand.

Tony Leduc picked up his new wheels on Monday at Town and Country Chrysler in Smiths Falls. Leduc, who was born with spina bifida, needed an accessible vehicle. The community came together to raise the funds to purchase this new 2014 Grand Caravan. Pictured are some of the partners included in this fundraising effort: ( above, from the left) Perth

Civitan members Bob Farnel and Bonnie King, Beth Parks, Angie Parks-Gibson of DNE-Tay Valley Fire Department (Sherbrooke ward), Tony (in the van); Kim Ryder-Darou, Brad Park (Sherbrooke ward fire department), Dave White and Bob Perreault of Lake 88 in back. In front are Dana Hegenbarth and Brad Kyle of Town and Country Chrysler.

Tony Leduc is a ‘free man’ thanks to the generosity of community Community - Tony Leduc is a free man. At least that’s how the personable 22-year-old from Maberly says as he rolls his wheelchair into a newly accessible ﬁre engine red 2014 Grand Caravan at Town and Country Chrysler on Monday, Nov. 3. Leduc, who was born with spin biﬁda and hyposyphalis, has been wheelchair bound all his life. He asked his aunt once, “What’s it like to walk?” “I just burst out crying,” said Angie

Parks-Gibson. Leduc picked up his new wheels after being outﬁtted by Braun-Ability. He can easily maneuver – with a little help from his friends – his chair into the van… something he hasn’t been able to do – ever. “It’s freakin’ awesome,” Leduc said, smiling from ear to ear. “Unbelievable. I can’t describe it. I’ve got my freedom back. I can do things. I can go places. Let’s go!” Transportation for Tony, a fundraising

effort to raise money for an accessible vehicle for Leduc, hit the $12,000 mark online through GoFundMe. Brad Parks, Leduc’s uncle, said the family was hoping to raise enough money to retroﬁt their used vehicle. “It was going to cost us about $3,000 to keep the old Astro van on the road. So we were hoping to raise enough money for a good used vehicle,” he said. The online fundraiser was kickstarted by Leduc’s good friend and former Smiths Falls Bears hockey player,

summer and from there, the amount of money raised hit the $12,500 mark. “Then, an anonymous donor called me up and said she wanted to donate the remainder to get Tony into a new van,” said Brad Kyle, owner of Town and Country Chrysler. When approached by this newspaper, the Lanark County woman said she’d prefer to remain out of the picture. “I had a homeless man ask me for $40,000 the other day,” she said with a laugh.

get her. She draws you in.” Complicating matters even more, “she looks different in every photo,” she said. “Emma has a million looks.” The show set up a web page to provide clues and information about the case, with the results of their efforts and collected information airing tomorrow. Shelley is offering a $25,000 reward to help ﬁnd Emma, who worked in Campbell River and Victoria as a chef. She fears Emma may have had a mental breakdown, but, when she faced psychological issues before, “she always managed to pull herself out.” A new development in the case came when a man walked into an eclectic store in Vancouver, with Emma’s missing poster in his hand. “He was crumpling it, and saying, ‘She’s not missing. She’s my girlfriend,’” Shelley recounted. He then went over to a rack of women’s clothing, saying things like “Oh, this would ﬁt Emma.” After the man left, the owner called 911 and the police got access to closed-circuit security camera footage of the man from a nearby business. Later, there were a series of robberies in North Vancouver, with one of the suspects matching the identity of the man claiming Emma was his girlfriend. “I don’t know where she is,” Shelley said. She wanted to remind viewers that Emma was so much more than just a possible victim of mysterious circumstances – she was also an artist, phoEmma Fillipoff is pictured here from a Facebook page. tographer and writer. “Love every second that you have with them (your children),” she advised parents. “Worship the time you have.”

The ceremony will commence at 10:45, ending at about 11:35 a.m., with a minute of silence at exactly 11 a.m. Afterwards, the parade will march back to the Legion, using a different route, right on Isabella, left on Gore Street, with “eyes left” at the Matheson House, home of the Perth Museum. Then, the parade makes another left onto Herriott Street, and a ﬁnal right onto Beckwith Street East, halting in front of the Legion, with the march-off of colours. The parade is then dismissed and attendees are invited to the Legion for refreshments, followed by “camaraderie” in the member’s lounge. The annual Remembrance Day dinner will be held that evening at 6 p.m. In a press release, Eric Devlin, the president of the Legion, was quoted as saying that, it was important that “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.” He added that, “on behalf of all veterans, may I offer you the hope that all things will improve, but we must always remember.” Devlin, a former member of town council, who also saw service in the Second World War and the Korean War, and in his words, this was a “somber” 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 in on dear departed persons who gave their all in a time of war in order that we, who are here and now, are able to enjoy better times.” Up in Lanark Highlands, the community will gather at the cenotaph in front of the municipal offices at 75 George St. in Lanark village at 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 9. Outgoing Mayor Peter McLaren and Highlands fire chief Rod Black will be in attendance, representing the township and fire services respectively.

“But when I heard Tony’s story, I had no trouble emptying my pockets. It’s a great cause and he’s a nice boy.” Another substantial donation came from the Perth Civitan Club to the tune of $2,500. Bonnie King and Bob Farnel, who were on hand to represent the Civitan, said they had contact with Dustin last year. “We heard about Tony through Dustin who was at a club meeting to tell us about the fundraising effort,” said King. “Tony’s a young man who needed a lift… Dustin came with the request and we spoke about it as a group and came up with that number for a donation.”

Categories:

• Commercial (businesses) • Industrial • Non-Commercial (church, youth groups, everyone else) • Service Clubs • Schools (all levels) • Animals (animal pulling, horses, etc) • Individuals (walkers, rollerbladers)

“We’re always there for the people of our community,” added Farnel. Leduc’s step-mother Beth Park said she’s relieved for her son. “He’s heavy,” she said. “It’s a challenge to lift him. He was only out three or four times last year.” Some of the events that Leduc is looking forward to including playing his guitar and singing at gigs, helping out in his community, and getting back with the Oddities Community Choir. “This Saturday I’m playing at the Champions for Kids fundraiser at PDCI,” he added. “I’m really excited that I will get to go in my new van.” Connected to Your Community - P2 - Thursday, November 6, 2014

name so as the case would be accepted, or not, on its merits. “He (MacIntyre) responded immediately,” said Shelley. “I’m very nervous about it. I haven’t seen it (yet). I’m not allowed to. (But) I’m excited to see it.” She was interviewed three times by the show’s reporters, with a lot of ﬁlming done at her Highlands home. Two of Emma’s friends and one of her friends will be watching the show with her – though she already anticipates that it will be an hour of uneasy viewing. “I live the story every day,” Shelley said. “(But) I owe it to Emma. I had thought of watching it on my own… (but) I wanted company.” In an interesting twist, neither she nor her friend has a television set, so they will be viewing the show at a neighbour’s house. She added that it was “not common practice” for the show to devote an entire hour to just one subject. “It’s important that people watch that night,” she added, since she hopes that it will remind people of her daughter’s case, and maybe dislodge some information that has so far eluded police. “It’s exactly my hope. It (the show) is going to increase my chances greatly.” Right now, “there is absolutely no proof” as to her daughter’s whereabouts. There have been three instances where people have claimed to have seen her but, on closer inspection, they were “not even a close resemblance.” This frustrates her since, “if you’ve ever met Emma once, you never for-

REMEMBRANCE DAY CLOSURES: Perth Town Hall, the Perth Landfill Site and the Perth Museum and Visitor Information Centre will be closed on Tuesday, November 11th, 2014 in recognition of Remembrance Day. Regular business hours will resume on Wednesday, November 12th. The Indoor Pool and the Community Centre will be open on a modified schedule. Please call 613-267-5302 if you require information about those evening schedules.

ANNUAL LEAF COLLECTION: The Environmental Services Department will be performing its annual leaf collection service once again. Collection will commence on Wednesday, November 12th, 2014 at 7am and continue no later than 4:30pm Friday November 14th, 2014. Leaves deposited at the curb after 1:00pm on Friday November 14th, 2014 will not be collected. Leaves are to be placed at the curb, in paper or transparent plastic bags, making it obvious to the collection operator that the bags contain leaves. Leaf bags should be placed separately from garbage bags and do not require a garbage bag tag. Additional leaves and missed bags from within the town of Perth can be taken to the Perth Landfill Site (666 Wildlife Road) during regular operating hours at no cost. The collected leaves will be processed at the Compost Facility. The leaves are then mixed with yard waste and will compost into topsoil.

CATCH BASIN CLEAN-UP: Municipal staff is asking for assistance dealing with problems created by falling leaves and blocked catch basins. If a catch basin is covered with leaves and there is significant rainfall, the runoff is not able to enter the storm sewer, resulting in flooded streets, driveways and ditches. Regular patrols by municipal staff are made, but with the size of the area to inspect and the number of catch basins involved, some areas become backed-up before clearing can be completed. The Town of Perth is asking homeowners and business owners, if it is within their capabilities to do so, to keep an eye on their respective storm sewer catch basin areas and clear the drain before water build-up becomes a problem. Ice and snow build-up can also cause the catch basins to become blocked and any help residents can give is also appreciated once the winter storms start.

SMALL BUSINESS ADVISORY CENTRE: NOVEMBER 2014 APPOINTMENTS Perth’s Economic Development Department and the Small Business Advisory Centre have joined forces to assist new entrepreneurs and existing business owners in the community. Once a month, Cindy James, Manager of the Small Business Advisory Centre for Lanark County, will visit Perth Town Hall. Ms. James will be taking appointments with budding entrepreneurs as well as established business owners, offering information on business topics such as registering a business, developing a business plan, marketing, financing, HST regulations and much more. The next available date for appointments is Wednesday, November 12th, 2014, between 9:00am and 12:00 Noon in the Kent Room at Perth Town Hall. Interested parties can make an appointment by contacting Shannon McLellan at the Small Business Advisory Centre: 613-283-7002 Ext. 109.

Perth’s got talent Community - The final ‘My Towns got Talent’ competition took place on Nov. 1 in the theatre at the Gallipeau Centre in Smiths Falls. The winners were Sara Milligan and Isaac Matthews-Hanna. The couple beat out four other great finalists. The big winner was the United Way Lanark County. Pictured here are three of the Perth contestants who finished in the top five, including Jessica Wedden, second (left); Emily Richardson, fourth (centre) and Madelyn Fyfe, fifth (right). See page 26 in the regional section to find out more on the show.

Community – Members of the Perth Civitan Club transformed Crystal Palace into a house of horrors for Halloween night as children and adults alike braved the elements inside. Dubbed their Halloween “Spooktacular” screams could be heard across town from those who dared to enter. More than 750 bags of candy were handed out during this event, which was estimated to be the Civitan’s 25th year hosting the Halloween Spooktacular.

Community fund hopes to fill gaps for non-profits Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

News - Work to form the Smiths Falls-Montague Community Fund continues in the community with an eye to providing financial support to local initiatives via a legacy fund. The newly-developed community fund is thought to be guided by a Smiths Falls-Montague board of directors with administrative support from the Perth and District Community Foundation. Steve Hillier, the Perth foundation president, says he is pleased to see Smiths Falls and area take on this initiative, noting it is the Governor General David Johnston’s desire to see a community fund in each community in time for Canada’s 150th anniversary in 2017. Hillier said the foundation would help administer the Smiths Falls-Montague Community Fund until it has grown enough that it can operate on its own. “That would be the ultimate goal,” Hillier said. Shawn Pankow, financial planner and Smiths Falls’ mayor-elect, has been involved in discussions on the fund and said he is keen to establish a formal structure and set up agreements with the Perth foundation to move this concept forward. Right now it’s “an ad hoc group of people with a common interest looking at possibilities of doing it,” Pankow said. If created, the fund will accept donations and bequests from those wishing to support local causes now and in the future. These funds will be invested and the interest realized from it will be used to support causes that apply for the funds. Perth has operated a fund for 13 years (2001) giving out $40,000 a year to various charities. “We currently administer $1.1 million in assets,” Hillier said. Hillier has been speaking with other Smiths Falls’ financial planners for the last two-and-a-half years to gauge interest in starting a fund, and said he is pleased to see the interest take off as are individuals involved in its development. “This is something we’re going to set up now that’s going to be here for history,” remarked Montague Reeve Bill Dobson. Both Dobson and Melissa Hillier of the Smiths

Falls & District Chamber of Commerce attended the Funders Forum in Perth this past March where they listened to the work of the Perth and District Community Foundation and realized how much their communities would benefit from it. “We both came form the meeting with the same opinion but we spoke to different people,” Hillier said. The strength of such a program is that it will welcome applications from causes identified by the yet to be created Smiths Falls-Montague Community Fund board of directors. “We are trying to recruit a couple of strategic partners,” Hillier said. Specifically, they are looking for local lawyers and financial advisors who may be willing to work on the board as they are often in contact with individuals who are making decisions on their charitable donations. Those who can apply to the fund can be changed by the board based on local need at the time, but always the dollars donated will be held in trust for the benefit of the community. “We’re not replacing anything that’s already in existence, we’re hopefully filling a void,” Hillier added. “It’s a legacy.” The community fund is coming at a good time as Smiths Falls prepares to begin its 2015 budget discussions. Last year, the town capped community grant support at $80,000 after receiving $300,000 worth of requests from community groups. The new Smiths Falls-Montague Community Fund will hopefully take some of this pressure from future councils in the years to come. “All the money that will be donated to Smiths Falls and Montague will go back to Smiths Falls and Montague,” Dobson noted. The first steps for the new fund will be to establish their board and then begin building the fund. A meeting is being planned for later this month to discuss further details and formally kick off the fund. “I think we should come out of that with the opportunity to say ‘here’s what the plan is’,” Pankow said. This will be the third meeting that has been held for the fund since those initial discussions in the spring.

The Masonry helps raise $100,000 for food centres across Canada

News - On Oct. 22, Community Food Centres Canada held its inaugural Restaurants for Change/Des Restos pour Demain event, which invited Canadians to dine out to help raise funds to support the right to food and healthy food for all. That evening, in nine cities across Canada, 25 restaurants donated all or part of the proceeds from their dinner service to support CFCC and local partners. In total, participating restaurants and sponsors raised more than $100,000 to help fund programs that bring people in low-income communities together to grow, cook, share and advocate for good food for all. “This year’s participating

chefs and restaurants are part of an amazing community who care not just about where food comes from, but also about who gets to eat it,” said Nick Saul, president and CEO of Community Food Centres Canada. “We’re very thankful for their support, and excited to expand the event to more cities and restaurants next year, and to engage more and more Canadians from coast to coast in the movement towards a healthy and fair food system.” Twenty-five of Canada’s most celebrated and innovative chefs and restaurants pledged their support the first year of the event. Participating restaurants Atelier and Juniper Kitchen and Wine Bar in Ottawa and The

Masonry in Perth with proceeds from their dinners helping to benefit The Table Community Food Centre in Perth. Funds raised will support health and equity-building community food programs like healthy drop-in meals, affordable produce markets, community gardens and kitchens, and education and civic engagement programs. Funds will also support CFCC’s important national leadership work around food access, health, and community engagement. Planning is already underway for next year’s event, with a fall date to be announced shortly. Visit www.restaurantsforchange. ca, for updates and details on how to get involved.

Tentative trial date set in nurse’s sexual assault case Desmond Devoy

News – A trial date has been set for Richard Nightingale’s sexual assault case. A judicial pre-trial hearing was held Friday, Oct. 17 at the Ontario Court of Justice in Perth, with a trial confirmation date set for Monday, Dec. 8, with a tentative trial date set for Tuesday, Feb. 10. Court heard last week that the trial could last

more than a day. Details of the case are covered by a publication ban. Nightingale, 50, a registered nurse, was charged with sexual assault on Jan. 10, 2014. It is alleged that, while working at his Lanark County Mental Health office at the Great War Memorial Hospital site of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital, he allegedly sexually assaulted a 33-year-old woman.

New program reaches out to isolated seniors with preventative care Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – You are not alone. If you are a senior with a chronic disease, and are isolated, there is a new program on offer in Lanark County that can fill the gaps left behind by home care. The Primary Care Outreach (PCO) program for seniors had its county launch at the North Lanark Community Health Centre (NLCHC) on Tuesday, Oct. 28, after a successful trial run at all community health centres (CHC) throughout Ottawa. (The program is also being launched in the St. Lawrence Seaway area too. It is hoped that the program will be expanded to Renfrew County and other areas of eastern Ontario, including the Francophone population.) The service is offered to seniors who have a chronic disease and are isolated, according to a slide shown during the presentation. A registered nurse or a community health worker will visit seniors in their home to help improve their health and keep them independent. One of the major goals of the program is to “reduce ER visits,” while filling “a gap in services for clients whose needs are very complex.” The program began at the CHC in the downtown Ottawa neighbourhood of Sandy Hill in 2008, expanding to other CHCs in 2010, and finally covering the whole city earlier this year. Mallory Shorten, central intake

worker for all PCO programs, who works out of the South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre, admitted that this new, Lanark County version will be “much different than central Ottawa,” but, “I think it will be equally effective here.” While the program is aimed at people aged 65 and over, there are different forms of isolation that it hopes to address, from the recently widowed who are adapting to living alone, seniors having trouble keeping on top of their ﬁnances, those making frequent ER visits, those at risk of eviction, seniors who have had falls within the last three months, and those who simply exist on the so-called “tea and toast” diet, said Meredith Cullen, a registered nurse for the PCO team at the NLCHC. “We would love to be able to help them,” said Cullen. While the referral starts with a phone call, there is a lot of followup involved, said Joelle McHard, PCO community health worker. “We go out into the home, spend an hour-and-a-half, two hours,” McHard said. The visitor makes some routine medical checks, like taking the client’s blood pressure, and encouraging them to get out more – if possible – and making them aware of the services that are available to them. For a lot of seniors who live in remote, rural areas, “transportation becomes an issue,” McHard said. A lot of outside-the-box thinking is required in her role: “It’s not a pretty little box, like, ‘I can only do A, B, C, D, and E,’” she said. “We have to

be resourceful. There is not a lot of money for transportation,” even with the help of organizations like the Lanark Transport Association. It’s all about “getting creative with the care provided.” She referred to one client, who was rather religious. They were able to connect with her church and, through them, connect with some money and volunteers to get her some needed transportation. “They just needed to be asked,” McHard said. “They were glad to do it.” Not lost in all of this is the effect of isolation on seniors, and establishing a bond of trust with them. “Sometimes, it is hard to get your foot in the door, to gain their trust,” McHard said. While “the health care system can be confusing to seniors…sometimes it is doing the little things,” that can pay big dividends. For example, dealing with an outstanding telephone bill that is causing anxiety for an elderly woman, might ease her mind enough to get her re-focused on other, more important medical matters. “A big part of it will be communicating with the other health providers,” she noted, especially home care. “We work in coordination with quite a few agencies,” like the Community Care Access Centre, and social workers, said Shorten. Care is also taken not to recreate the wheel – if a home care medical assessment has already been done before the PCO team arrives, that information is shared with them

“to prevent that overlap,” said Shorten. One of the more common complaints about personal support workers (PSW) is that, through scheduling, they may only be able to bathe a client two times a week. “They will need quite a lot more care than that,” Shorten said, so, the PCO will try to seek out other resources. “Our nurse would help the client look for other services,” said Racicot, such as private care options. The Rev. Sam Draffin, of the Baptist Church in Lanark, observed that he had been speaking with a 95-year-old farmer who lives alone, about the concerns he had about his isolation. Using himself as an example, he said that if his wife went away for a weekend, “I could fell down the basement stairs (and be there) for two or three days and no one would know,” Draffin said. After their conversation, the farmer found Draffin out and told him he had gotten a Medic-Alert alarm in case of just such an emergency. The launch of the program dovetails with the unveiling of another, less-medical program in the area, an Angel Tree for Seniors, which will be operating at the NLCHC this holiday season. If you are interested in getting a gift for a needy senior, pick up one of their tags on the tree to find out your senior’s age, gender, and what they would like. “Some of our seniors may not get a Christmas gift” otherwise, she said.

Please note: The Lanark Highlands Hazardous Waste Depot is now closed for the season. It will reopen May 16th 2015.

The Township Municipal Office and roads department will be closed Tuesday November 11th 2014 in observance of Remembrance Day.

“We are pretty excited about this,” said the NLCHC’s executive director, John Jordan, of the PCO program. “We have been trying to get funding for this for a decade. There are a lot of isolated seniors here.” He explained that there was a great need for the program in Lanark County, especially in terms of preventative medicine. “There is a transition happening in health care, to get people before they end up in the ER,” Jordan said. “This is

an enhancement, not a duplication.” He noted that, away from dollars and cents, best practices and memos, the program works best when “you can just imagine the smile on their (seniors) faces,” when the PCO connects them with the care they need. “We are looking to ﬁll that hole,” he said, of the “gaps” in seniors care services.

Distracted by shiny things

pinion - I learn a lot from teaching. As you know, I recently learned the importance of leading by example. When you are a communications instructor, you should always proofread your messages and avoid replacing your “things” with “thongs.” Last week, in several of my ﬁrst-year classes, we discussed communication and social media. We talked about the pros and cons of using social media in a workplace and how important it is, now that they are in college and are career bound, for students to think carefully about the things they put online. We watched a great TED Talk by Juan Enriquez called Your online life, permanent as a tattoo from February 2013. One of the pitfalls of social media that he points out is distraction. He illustrates this using the Greek myth about Atalanta, the fastest runner, and Hippomenes, who beat her at a race because he kept distracting her by rolling golden apples behind him. It’s always the shiny things that get us into trouble, right? Talking about social media and connectivity with my students reminded me that it’s important to unplug. Often. It’s important to do real stuff with real people and to get away from the distraction. On the weekend, while perusing Facebook (I know…ironic), I came across a couple of poignant “don’t text and drive” public service announcements. Both carried the message about how a moment’s distraction can cause a lifetime of pain. I am addicted to my BlackBerry. I use it all the time for work purposes. I call it “George, my executive assistant.” George tells me where I have to be and when and lets me get my business done even if I am not chained to my desk. Nevertheless, George always rides in my purse, out of sight and out of reach, when I am driving. I do not text and drive. I also don’t eat cereal and drive, although I have seen other people doing so. It has occurred to me that the prevalence of this connectivity and the related distraction it causes extends far beyond driving (although that is one of the deadlier forms). For example, I read an article called “Why a leading professor of new media just banned technology use in class”

Past Deadline

Stephanie Gray

by Valerie Strauss, which appeared in The Washington Post on Sept. 25. In it Strauss outlines why Clay Shirky, a professor of media studies at New York University, pulled the plug on the use of devices in his classes unless they are required for an assignment. He discusses how we may believe multi-tasking will help us get more done but, in fact, our efficiency is degraded. He cited a study that shows heavy multi-taskers actually have more trouble choosing which task to start. Rather than “bulking up their ability to juggle tasks,” they are more like alcoholics: “degrading their abilities through over-consumption.” Our various devices and the social media platforms we use are making this worse. They are designed, he explains, to be irresistible: “Both the form and the content of a Facebook update are almost irresistibly distracting, especially compared with the hard slog of coursework. (‘Your former lover tagged a photo you are in’ versus ‘The Crimean War was the first conflict significantly affected by use of the telegraph.’ Spot the difference?)” Add in alert settings to notify you visually and audibly when you get a new message, and you are basically doomed, Shirky says. Biologically we are programmed to automatically respond to such stimuli. “Asking a student to stay focused while she has alerts on is like asking… chess players to concentrate while rapping their knuckles with a ruler at unpredictable intervals.” So, really, I’m starting to think the problem we have right now is “distracted living.” Shirky says he has “stopped thinking of students as people who simply make choices about whether to pay attention, and started thinking of them as people trying to pay attention but having to compete with various influences.” It’s a good point, and it’s one I think I need to apply to myself. Maybe George should spend a little more time hanging out in my purse.

The monster hiding in your radio?

pinion - Television and radio allow you to have people in your home you otherwise would not have in your home. To borrow a phrase there from the late Sir David Frost, that was certainly how many fans of the now disgraced CBC Radio One host Jian Ghomeshi were feeling last week. I’ve listened to his show since it debuted in 2007, the year I started working for a newspaper in Ottawa. I worked very long hours for the start-up weekly, and would often be starting my working day on the road, listening to his show at 10 a.m. – and ending my day with his repeat broadcast at 10 p.m. Needless to say, we spent a lot of time together. But I have not been able to stop following this unfolding scandal – not only in its mesmerizing train-wreckunfolding-in-front-of-you way, but also because of how horrifying the violence he is alleged to have carried out was, and because of how disappointed I, and other fans, are in him. He was supposed to be better than

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The consequences of war DEAR EDITOR, The dawn of the day has come and gone. It has been a somewhat simple day. A clean shave, warm shower and a selected breakfast prepared to my satisfaction. All of this after a comfortable sleep in a modern shelter adorned with many amenities. Being afforded the opportunity to select one from another item, one shelter from another, one meal from another, one path or another, one form of transportation or another and one career or another. Today’s choices were made freely and willingly based on availability. I had the great fortune of being honoured today for a choice I was able to make voluntarily. It was my pleasure to have served my fellow citizens. As I stood among the many gathered to pay homage to the many who gave completely

of themselves I felt privileged to have been afforded the opportunity to have freely made the decisions I have. It is on days such as today where I can selfishly take pride in my contributions, but days like today are also cause to selfishly affirm that if their life was worth laying down for the privilege of such dignity, then I too could and should freely do as well. I can only imagine the feeling they might have felt as they entered the valley of death. But standing among those who returned, those who have served and those who serve today brought me together with those who have gone before me and them. Most of us appreciated the accolades offered by our fellow citizens today, but today was much more than that. It was a time to reflect on the value and worth of our contributions. To think that I and they would freely have

given fully of life itself and still would if needed, is a common bond seldom really understood by those honouring us on this day of remembrance; a bond with comrades, strangers individually and yet the greatest of friends of common valour. The consequences of war must be measured in value and worth of the dignity of the outcome. The outcomes in this case are of significant consequence in how we perceive and feel pride: pride in a nation’s worth, values, ethics and freedom of choice. The principles of the freedoms we enjoy are the direct result of the consequences of war. Today’s consequence is just cause to appreciate those who have made the unselfish decision to allow us the freedom to make selfish decisions. Lest we be forgotten. François (Frank) J. Larabie, MMM, CD1

Start the conversation DEAR EDITOR, As a ﬁnal note to the ongoing conversation about the Be Aware Porn Harms campaign and the banner that hung across Foster Street in Perth during the week of October 20 to 27, it should be pointed out that, behind the scenes of the world-wide, billion dollar industry of pornography, there are real persons whose lives are being reduced to sexual objects for consumption and proﬁt. Although some individuals may participate

voluntarily, the pornography industry has led to wide-spread human trafﬁcking and forced prostitution and, closer to home: the breakdown of family and personal relationships, endangering our children. All of us need to be aware what to say/do when children fall victim to unwanted exposure to pornography or are lured into situations that rob them of their dignity and innocence. A new movie about the devastating effects of pornography on family, children and society

Thank you to everyone who voted for me and also to those who put up my campaign signs. I will do my very best to work for all the residents of Perth.

I don’t know how to end this. I want justice for the women, more than anything. As men we need to stand up against violence against women. Our wives, daughters, mothers, sisters, aunts, etc. deserve a better world. With three women now going forward to Toronto police, and at least one of his so-far eight accusers going public (Trailer Park Boys actor Lucy DeCoutere) the only good that may, we pray, have come from this, is that this is a watershed moment in our society’s evolution, where we change how we talk and react to violence against women. This type of behaviour didn’t start with Jian – but we can start to make sure it ends with him.

people knew, or, at least suspected his problems. Sound familiar? There is next to nothing funny about this case, save for one attempt where I suggested to my father that, as a complete 180 degree turn in personality and temperament, Q should hire Stuart McLean as host (“Arcade Fire’s lyrics electrify and hang in the air like the warm smell of Mary McConigle’s spice apple pie cooling on the window sill before the Homecoming Dance.”) I wrote to my friend Justin last week that it was perhaps a blessing that Jian’s father Frank died in early October before this all broke. “Yeah,” Justin texted back. “But his mother is (still alive) and that’s even worse.”

true, then there is something seriously, mentally and emotionally, sick about this guy. If true, he does deserve our scorn – and, our help, so that, hopefully, this never happens to another woman at his hands. To be clear, what he is alleged to have done is shocking, sickening and, for me, disappointing. It shakes me to the core. This type of “Street Angel/House Devil” personality, as my mother used to call it, is not usual in radio. My uncles John and Mike, and aunt Maria, formed a rock band in the 1990s called Walnut to Zurich. They received some Irish air play and chart success in the late 90s. They saw for themselves the Jekyll and Hyde personalities that radio people can present. (Not surprising that this is common with radio types – listen to your favourite morning show tomorrow. Nothing nefarious, in all likelihood, but no one can be that chipper all the time, right?) They went on

the popular Jerry Ryan show on trendy 2FM, and were surprised to find him rather cold and impersonal – off air, at least, though he was Mr. Personality when the “On Air” light came on. Another day, another interview, with the more conservative, earnest, slightly stuffy Pat Kenny, on the more newsy RTE Radio One. He was certainly reserved on air – but off air, was warm, welcoming, genuinely interested in the band, where they were from, etc., doing a bravura job putting them at ease. Turns out that Ryan had his own troubles: a cocaine addiction, which eventually resulted in his overdose death in April of 2010, which shocked the nation, and even those closest to him, though, later, there were rumours that

DEAR EDITOR, This letter is in response to the letter written by Mr. Wells, which appeared in the Oct. 30 edition of The Perth Courier. I write this letter, not as a member of the Be Aware Coalition, but my views herein are of a mother of two young children, psychotherapist in private practice and someone who has worked in the ﬁeld of corrections for over 20 years. Mr. Neville is correct in saying that the consumption of pornography is legal. The victimization of children and violence against women in the production of it is NOT. Unfortunately one cannot exist without the other. To dismiss this in the name of “freedom of consumption” is very sad and dangerous if we are comparing our right to liberties of consumption over the protection of those most vulnerable. Having worked in the prison system for many years and with men convicted of sex crimes (many against children), I know ﬁrst hand the harms and dangers of pornography. Most talk candidly about their addiction to pornography which statistically has shown to devolve from consumption of adult pornography to pornography depicting children. Addiction to pornography has in fact been shown to be more addictive than heroin. These (people) have admitted that their consumption of pornography at an early age led to their increased use of harsher forms of pornography including those depicting children. The increased normalization of the pornography industry has been connected to an increase in violence against women and children. The protection of children and youth,

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Majority of citizens appalled by victimization of women, children – not banner

R0012981679

Laurie Weir/METROLAND

Above, the ‘new’ Porn Harms banner flew over Foster Street in Perth at the end of October. particularly against unwanted exposure to pornography as well as their potential victimization into entering this industry is an important and relevant one to discuss. The question of “censorship” was raised. In a few years, will I “censor” the Internet to protect my children from unwanted exposure to pornography and other harms? Of course. I would question anyone who would imply that this is wrong. Like many parents, of course I wish to preserve the innocence of children but this does not preclude the awareness I wish to instill in my children of potential societal harms. By not talking about strangers or the potential of people doing unkind things, I am not protecting them. The same argument can be applied to not having the conversation about pornography. Protection can only be achieved through awareness and knowledge. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and this is the beauty of living in a democratic society. How-

ever, for every opinion one can ﬁnd “facts” on the Internet to support their position. The purpose of this (Be Aware Porn Harms) banner was to begin the discussion and have candid conversations about the harms of pornography. Undoubtedly the conversation would be very different if we were talking about drinking and driving or mental illness. Pornography is described as a “global public health issue.” To dismiss this by saying a group is “imposing a particular code of morality” against freedom of expression is inaccurate, particularly given the cost. There are still many taboos in society. At one point in history (not that long ago), those with mental illnesses were locked in asylums and forced to participate in very aversive treatment because it was believed they were “possessed by the devil.” Thankfully these views have changed and the stigma of mental illness is lifting showing that recovery is possible.

Hopefully the stigma surrounding pornography can also be lifted. Do I look forward to talking to my six- and ﬁve-year-old about pornography and other harms? Of course not. Does the banner remind me of the importance of doing so? Yes it does. The only way I can adequately protect my children from the various dangers of society (e.g. being victimized, exposure to drugs and alcohol, etc) is by having the conversation. Please let’s stop talking about the “banner” and let’s put the focus on the protection of the most vulnerable members of our society: our children. I would argue the majority of citizens (and visitors) are appalled at the victimization of women and children happening every day in Canada and abroad and by bringing awareness to this issue, we are all doing our part to protect our children and youth.

Community - The senior football team played against SFDCI last Tuesday in the LCIAA semi-final game and won 21-9, it was strong game on defence and offence. Good job boys! They also played against Almonte again in the LCIAA finals on Friday, Oct., 31 and unfortunately lost 21-2, signalling the end of their season. It was a successful season for the senior team and the team should be proud that they represented themselves and their school with class and dignity. The junior football team played against PDCI last week and won 28-19, it was a strong offensive and defensive performance for the team. Congratulations on your fourth straight win. The junior boys moved on to LRFL semi-finals against the Arnprior Redmen on Tuesday Oct. 4 but results were not available at press time. The junior finals will be on Friday – at the home of the highest ranking semi-final winner. The junior and senior Boys volleyball season has also come to an end, but we would like to say congratulations and thanks to all the boys who played and represented the school and had great St. John spirit! The end of the boys’ volleyball season signals that the girls volleyball season will soon be starting. Listen to the announcements and watch the boards and the Spartan Scene for news of that. The junior girls basketball season is done, but the senior girls are moving on and won their last game with a whopping score of 53-13. Congratulations girls. The senior girls faced CPHS last week, and lost in the LCIAA semi-finals. Congratulations on a fine season girls. The Halloween dance was this past Thursday, Oct. 30 and we would like to thank all who came and participated in it. It was amazing to see everyone’s creative costumes and we hope to have more dances like this one. We would like to thank the Student Council for organizing this dance. You truly did a great job on it. I’m sure all who went appreciated it.

Keynote speaker highlights power of social media during UCDSB summit News – Teachers must embrace social media and other technology in the classroom to effectively engage today’s students, a renowned educational consultant and blogger told 300 delegates Oct. 23 at the 2014 Small School Summit at the NAV CENTRE in Cornwall. Instead of maintaining schools where iPods, iPads, Facebook and Twitter are banned, teachers must actively encourage their use in the classroom, said educational consultant George Couros in his keynote speech. This technology can be used not just to share facts but to let students experience the joy of discovery and to understand the process of learning so they can be successful for years to come. “Everywhere else when we ask kids a question today they will use their phones to Google the answer,” said Couros. “But for some reason this doesn’t happen much in schools. “We need to teach kids where they learn, so why don’t we go to the places where kids are learning already?” Teachers who avoid Facebook, Twit-

ter and other tools in their lessons are making a mistake, he said. “It says to a kid right away that you don’t trust them – or worse – what you are doing is boring them.” He encouraged teachers to network both in person and on the web to find innovative teaching ideas and then “remix” them to make them even better for their students. In his 45-minute presentation, Couros demonstrated how lessons delivered through YouTube, Twitter and other technologies can make students enthusiastic about attending class. He spoke about a school in Norway where students actually wrote their own book and published it online. The teacher was smart enough to find students’ strengths in the production, so some were involved in writing and others – who were savvy in social media – handled marketing efforts. While the project met the needs of the curriculum, the teacher played to the strengths of the students to keep them engaged. In Couros’s school board, the Park-

by a leaf blower. Board schools actively share the learning on Facebook and Twitter so other students can get excited about it and find ways to improve on current projects. To demonstrate the power of learning, he also showed video of Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield’s video conference from the International Space Station with students from across Canada. Students were able to sing a song with the astronaut and ask him questions. “Just imagine what a kid can learn about being an astronaut by talking with a real astronaut while he is in space!” he said. An amazing moment during his speech was when Couros discussed a teacher who used music to help a student with a stuttering problem. The video showed the culmination of their sessions in which the student made a speech to his classmates and teaching staff, bringing them to tears. In another video, he showed how a baby with a hearing problem, crying and uncomfortable in his diminished world,

Extending knowledge on extended warranties, protection packages warranties and they often pay whatever price is quoted. With carmakers getting more and more competitive every day, price advertising is becoming the norm (and car retailers generally approve of this move because it provides more transparency). But being competitive also means cutting retailer margins and mainstream vehicle dealers selling cars in the $15,000 to $25,000 range have seen their new-vehicle profits reduced drastically over the last decade. So to keep up with the costs of operating large buildings and lots in prime urban zones, dealership principals put a lot of pressure on other departments within their stores to pick up the slack. This is why today, at most stores, the finance office can earn more gross profit per sale than the vehicle itself. So when faced with the option to purchase an extended warranty what are the pros and cons? Consider your financial exposure. Carmakers on average put away about 10 per cent of the value of each vehicle they sell for future warranty expenses. This money is only for the term

Car Counsellor Brian turner

of the carmaker’s warranty liability (three years for basic coverage and five years for power-train plans on most autos). It also takes into consideration that a carmaker gets a great break on labour rates and parts prices that they pay to dealerships for warranty repairs. So if on a $20,000 car, the automaker is banking $2,000 for their discounted five-year liability and if you plan on keeping the vehicle for eight years and you don’t have a large budget for major repair expenses, an extended warranty might be in your best interests (if the price is right). What are you buying? Auto retailers, as independent businesses are free to offer a wide choice of extended warranties.

Not all of these are manufacturerbacked. Automakers all offer their own plans and dealerships sometimes offer independent plans as well because they have a better profit margin. Hands down the automakers plans are better. First they usually cover more components. Secondly they guarantee repairs are completed using factory parts not after-market or remanufactured or used units. They are never voided because you might have been two weeks late in getting an oil change completed. These plans are honoured without question at any dealership you may visit (helpful if you break down during an out-of-town trip). And finally they give you another place to turn in case of a disagreement between you and the dealership over a specific repair (the automaker’s consumer office). How much should you pay? Like anything else for sale at a retailer, prices are usually negotiable. It would be nice if carmakers posted their extended warranty pricing on their websites just like their vehicles, but they don’t. The plans vary widely depending on length of coverage,

Most carmakers’ plans start at more than $2,000 and go up from there. What type of deal you get will depend on how much profit was made on the vehicle, the margin on the plan itself, your business history with the dealership, and your negotiating skills.

Lifestyle – With all the online resources for auto shoppers today, it’s amazing that a good portion of clients that walk into dealerships know little or nothing about the product that brings an equal and often greater amount of profit to the retailer than the vehicle sale itself. We’re talking about extended warranties and protection packages (think paint sealant, rustproofing, and fabric guard). Car buyers will spend hours researching prices, features, and financing rates as well as money to subscribe to dealer-pricing websites (these sites really aren’t worth the money because they seldom provide info on manufacturer-to-dealer rebates and due to the fact that incentive programs can change daily). They will also spend hours schlepping from dealership to dealership and haggling and negotiating with sales reps until they’re sure they’ve gotten the best price possible. But then when they sit down with the dealer’s finance manager/consultant to arrange payment terms, they seldom give a second thought to the prices and options on extended

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue

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

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23

Conflicting messages confuse you this week, Aries. Just don’t let this confusion keep you from doing what you think is right. Choose a course and stick with it.

Libra, try your hardest to make a tricky set of circumstances work to your advantage. Working with a partner is a great way to get things done.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

Don’t be too hard on yourself this week, Taurus. You really do not need to push yourself unless you are feeling motivated to do so. If you feel like relaxing, so be it.

Scorpio, you are better at dealing with things when they’re out in the light of day. You don’t like to be secretive, nor do you like the idea of others keeping secrets.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

Gemini, stick to the outskirts of the room and be a quiet observer of what’s going on around you instead of being the center of attention. You may enjoy being a fly on the wall for a change.

Sagittarius, do not look at a current problem as something that will always block your success and happiness. Instead, use this obstacle as a way to get your bearings.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

Cancer, this week you may feel an unusual need to be noticed and appreciated by others. Embrace the spotlight and make the most of this opportunity to share your thoughts.

Capricorn, though you may feel like lashing out at others, this week you show an impressive amount of self-restraint. Get through the week, and things will turn around.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

Leo, you may find it hard to establish your priorities this week, but you have a good head on your shoulders and will figure out the path to take. Give yourself a chance to have fun.

The messages you are receiving from everyone around you seem mottled and mixed, Aquarius. Instead of socializing with others, maybe you just need some alone time.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Virgo, do the right thing even if it costs you something emotionally. Your actions may be carefully monitored, and someone is learning by your example.

Pisces, speak up if you do not feel you are receiving enough emotional support from your closest allies. Maybe they do not know how you’re feeling.

CROFTS, (Billy) William – Feb.28,1972 Oct.27,2011 “Three Years” It’s been three years Sweetheart, And nothing seems the same, All we have left, Are your memories and your name, The years are quickly passing Still we won’t forget, For in the hearts that love you Your memory lingers yet. Your smiling way and pleasant face Are a pleasure to recall; You had a kindly word for each, And died beloved by all. Some day we know we’ll meet you Billy, Some day, we know not when, To clasp your hand and hug you son, And we will never part again. We love you and miss you so much Billy, Always in our prayers, Mom, Percy, Mike, Katelyn and Cameron.

Robert St. Pierre (Bobby) April 9, 1942 - November 7, 2013 One year ago God called you home. My heart broke in two. One piece went with you. The other piece holds you and your loving memory close to me. In the blink of an eye my husband, best friend, my whole world was gone. As the days go by many of tears I have cried. I think of you many times throughout the day. Wishing you were here. I miss you more than words can say. But God had a plan, he needed you more. Even though your time here on earth is over I will always keep you close in my heart and memories. Til we meet again. Rest in peace, my love. I love you now and forever and (500 million days) Your wife Cheryl xoxo

LEACH, Eric – In loving memory of Eric Leach, November 10, 1941 to November 9, 2013. Our lives go on without you, But nothing is the same, We have to hide the heartache, When someone speaks your name. Living here without you, Is the hardest part of all, The special years will not return, When we were all together, But with the love in our hearts, You will walk with us forever. Deeply missed and loved forever Rita, Debbie Diane and Frank, Alanna, David and Alex Darlene, Jacob and Isaac

Robert St. Pierre (Bobby) April 9, 1942 November 7, 2013 One year ago God called you home. You were a son-in-law, son, brotherin-law, brother, father and special uncle to many. Also a dear friend to many. You are missed more than you will ever know. If tears could bring you home you would be here with us all. We miss your witty sense of humour, words of advice and your smiling and loving ways. But most of all we miss you. Rest in peace til we meet again. P.S. Ditto Bubba. Your loving family and friends xoxo

SULLIVAN – In loving memory of my dear husband, David, who passed away November 9, 2013. The moment that you died my heart was torn in two, one side filled with heartache, the other died with you. I often lie awake at night, when the world is fast asleep, and take a walk down memory lane, with tears upon my cheeks. Remembering you is easy, I do it every day, but missing you is a heartache that never goes away. I hold you tightly within my heart and there you will remain. Until the joyous day arrives, That we will meet again. Never forgotten Lori

HARVEY - In loving memory of a dear mother and grandmother, Mary, who passed away in silence, November 10, 1984. She was a friend to all and a mother to many, Who gave all she had, all of the time, In order to bring happiness to others. May God keep her in His loving arms, Until the remainder of us meet her there. Missed by all and never forgotten Linda, Morley, Debbie Peter, Kelly, Karen and grandsons THOMAS - Our thoughts are with each one of you every passing day. My dear husband Leonard, our loving son Stan and precious daughter Carolyn, two very special son-in-law Kerry and Brent. We cannot bring the old days back when we were all together, But secret tears and loving memories will be with us forever. Wife and mother Gladys Brother, Sisters and families.

Smiths Falls singer home for release party Nov. 22 Lifestyle – There’s something unique about singer/songwriter Kate Weekes. Most young people I know growing up in small towns can’t wait to get to the ‘big city’: the glitz, the glamour, the nightlife to find their own identity. Not so for Kate. Leaving her hometown of Smiths Falls ten years ago, she headed out on the Trans-Canada Highway, riding her thumb and ended up at 5,800 kilometres later, in the Yukon Territory. She found her own way, settling into living in a cabin in the woods outside Whitehorse, working with 17 sled dogs during the long winters and paddling the many mighty rivers around her through the summer. Not your average gal. Having grown up in a musical family with her mother, Carolyn Stewart (Toasted Westerns, founder of the Blue Skies Fiddle Orchestra), father Alan Weekes (Up Against the Wall, amongst others) and having both parents deeply involved in the evolution of the infamous Blue Skies Music Festival, it’s not much wonder Kate picked up the musical bug. I’m told their home had a regular trail of who’s who of Canadian folkies and others through (Willie P. Bennett, Stan Rogers, Dave Bradstreet, Trout Fishing in America, Cathy Fink, Dick Donald and more). Kate released her first solo, selftitled CD in 2007 and from that won the Beth Ferguson Award as well as the Mac Beattie Award for writing “quintessentially Canadian”. Since then, she’s toured extensively and recorded a couple of other discs with other players including collaborations with Grant Simpson, a Yukon stride piano player. With Simpson’s quintet, they played at the Nanjing Jazz and World Music Festival in China in 2013. From these experiences she says, “I’ve been playing with some really good musicians over the last few years. I’m more conscious of my playing and how the songs are structured.” Through her travels she’s been keeping a journal and many of the songs on her new CD Frost on Black Fur, have culminated from her notations. A trip a couple of years ago, where she spent two months in Ireland resulted in Sing it to the Hills, where she sings of Irish tour guides who struggle with feelings of joy, grief and oppression associated with the country’s tumultuous past. Other tunes are about characters she’s met on her journeys, mushing, paddling or touring. She initiated a Kickstarter campaign online, where people donate

monies to help offset costs of recording. She hit her goal of $6,000 within a month, which tells of how excited fans are to hear new works so was pretty encouraging for her. From there she went into the Old Crow Studio in Whitehorse with Bob Hamilton producing. I first became aware of Hamilton’s skill as a writer and producer from a CD he did with Nathan Tinkham, who’s accompanied Ian Tyson, Cindy Church and been part of the Great Western Orchestra. A song caught my ear at a party on the French Line, back in 2000 so I immediately went to the CD player and found the group was called The Undertakin’ Daddies. I later had the opportunity to hear them live at a music conference. Hamilton’s producing only gives higher praise for this new work. There are some people in the folk music world I listen to and here’s what Mitch Podolak, who helped create the Winnipeg, Vancouver,

Edmonton and Calgary Folk Festivals as well as HomeRoutes says about Kate: “Kate Weekes has the ability to capture the Canadian state of being with deftly placed imagery like a painter covers the canvas in extraordinary colour. Kate can use a few well-placed words to describe the most complex of ideas in the most transparent way. Totally an engaging human being, she is one of the new generations of young artists that have shaken the older generation of songwriters and music fans with clarity of purpose.” I’ve heard Kate many times over many years. Most memorable were two events – most recently was at Blue Skies Festival a year ago where she played with her trio on the same stage she grew up sitting around most of her now 32 years, her mom looking on proudly from the side stage. The other was at the Perth eatery, once called the Goodwood Oven, (now Around The Corner), a few years ago. Kate was backed by her parents Alan, Carolyn and her brother Adam (yes, that wonderful voice on Lake 88). And yes, Kate has decided to return to Ontario so hopefully we’ll be able to see and hear more of her.

You, too, will have an opportunity to see Kate Weekes at a CD release on Saturday, Nov. 22 at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre. It’s a 7:30 p.m. start and she’ll have local act, Conspiracy of Sound, opening as well as being joined by Yukon musician Grant Simpson. Tickets are available at Shadowfax in Perth – students and seniors, $15 and adults, $20. Should be a fun night. Upcoming events • Saturday, Nov. 15: CD release for Ball & Chain & The Wreckers at McDonald’s Corners Agricultural Hall. Two-step and waltz lesson at 8 p.m. and band at 9 p.m. Tickets are $15 at door. Michael Ball and Jody Benjamin always put on a great show. • Thursday, Nov. 27 at 7 p.m.: Music On McLean House Concerts presents, the Maritimes’ own Dan McKinnon. Singer/songwriter/historian/storyteller McKinnon has often been compared to the late Stan Rogers and his rich baritone voice is one that has been satisfying crowds in the UK, Australia, across Canada and the US. Call 613-267-7902 to reserve your seat at $20 each. Support live music everywhere.

Religion Today: Mind the gap Canon Christine Piper

when Jesus says, “Blessed are the poor on spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven (Mt 5: 3).” Through remembering the lives of the saints we are given a glimpse of God’s kingdom breaking into the world. We are reminded that God’s kingdom is not our work, it is God’s. We need to be mindful of the poverty of our spirit, of our need for God. We need to be aware of our need to have a gap inside of our soul which we tend and keep open so that there is always space to listen to and be guided by our creator. We need to ensure that there is room in our soul, in our assumptions about ourselves, our lives and our ministries so that we shall notice God trying to get our attention. We need to mind the gap. As the faithful, are we arrogant in our sense of strength and power? Or are we humble, in touch with the earth (in Latin: humus) from which the word comes, knowing that we do not have all the answers or the next steps forward. It is God who has these! As I think about Agnes Bojaxhiu, the humble schoolgirl in Macedonia, who ended her life as Mother Teresa on the streets of Calcutta serving God’s beloved poor, surely it was only through minding the gap, making room for God in her approach to every day that she was guided and supported through this ministry. I quote from her writings: Prayer is not asking. Prayer is putting oneself in the hands of God, at His disposition, and listening to His voice in the depth of our hearts.

Lifestyle - What an awesome week this is being for the churches. On Sunday as Christ’s people, we celebrated All Saints Day when we gave thanks that we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses. In anticipation of All Souls Day the next day, at St. James Anglican Church we named individually, and in fond appreciation, all who have been buried from or though St. James since 2013. This coming Sunday we shall observe an act of remembrance for all those who have died in the two world wars; and wars since. At St. James, Casey Cerson, a new bagpiper in town, will play The Lament; and I am sure in all our neighbouring Christian communities other versions of the same ceremony will be offered in prayer and dedication. Indeed, the murder of the reservist at the Grave of the Unmarked Soldier two weeks ago has sadly and poignantly reminded us of the tragic serendipity within the lives of our armed forces. And yet besides being awesome, there is another side to our journeying through this week. I would suggest that such a week, with its remembrances, reminds us to “mind the gap.” Many of you will know this phrase from the subway in London, England. As in some stations, there can be a huge gap between the platform and the open doors of the train, we hear a message through the sound system: mind the gap. I heard this invocation within Matthew’s Beatitudes Gospel last Sunday

Construction of new Calvary Christian Academy track underway tgesner@perfprint.ca

News – Calvary Christian Academy in Franktown is currently in the midst of a threephase capital build-out, with stage two already in motion. Construction on a new 400-metre track began Oct. 15, principal Tom Bourne told Metroland Media last week, and the work, expected to take just over three weeks, is being done by G. Tackaberry & Sons Construction Co. Ltd. “We are really excited about that track,” Bourne said. “We have running club Monday, Wednesday and Friday and we used to do it on Irvine Street.” The track will have a muchneeded soccer field in the middle section. “A baseball diamond is also being constructed on the south end of the property,” Bourne said, “and we already have a beach volleyball court.” Active and healthy living has been a part of Calvary Christian Academy right from the beginning. With much growth over the past few years, Bourne said Calvary Christian Academy – situated on 20 hectares (50 acres) of property – is focused on adding the facilities required for sports. “We’ve made due with Irvine Street, but it is going to be nice to have a proper track,” he added, “as well as other facilities that will fit with what we want to do.” Calvary Christian Academy is looking to become more active in the local school community, hosting some athletic events.

“Although a lot of it is weather dependent, students are really hoping to get on the track this fall,” Bourne said. A family at the school involved in the landscaping business is overseeing the sodding of the inner field. There is currently one field for the entire Calvary Christian Academy student body; however, the new sports ground increases the boundary during activity break (recess). “The only sad thing in all of this is that there were a couple of trees that needed to be removed,” Bourne said. “They were monumental trees for some students.” Capital campaign Calvary Christian Academy has shown a willingness to fund its growth, owing to a capital campaign launched in 2008. With a hefty goal of $1 million over five years, Bourne said the plan was to build an early childhood education wing (phase one), construct a running track and eliminate the school’s three portables through a fourclassroom addition (phase two), as well as build a high school (phase three). Bourne said 55 people have pledged a total of $500,000 to date. “These are one-time or monthly donations,” he added. “There’s really been a rallying of community around the school. We are very thankful.” Phase one started in September 2013 and finished at the beginning of this year. “We were able to do it with a

lot of parents’ help,” Bourne said, “and we hired different tradesmen, too.” The early childhood education wing was built for $225,000. “We have a family at our school in the plumbing business,” Bourne said. “They did all the plumbing for free.” He added another parent did the siding for free and an alumni family put in our flooring for “essentially next to free.” Measuring 2,600 sq. ft. the addition includes preschool and kindergarten classrooms, kitchen, washroom and staff and janitorial rooms. Because the school provides food through its preschool program, it was necessary for the kitchen to meet the requirements of the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit. There is a hot lunch program that kids can buy into. The second part of phase two involves the construction of a 4,000 sq. ft. addition that houses four classrooms and a dedicated music room. “The portables will be removed on the south end of the school and the addition will be built there,” Bourne said.

After graduating Grade 8 at Calvary Christian Academy students go to one of six different area high schools. “For example, our students from Perth go to St. John Catholic High School or Perth and District Collegiate Institute,” Bourne said. “Smiths Falls students go to Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute.” However, the administrator, board of directors and school family believes there is a need for a high school on site. “Phase three will be located further south,” Bourne said. “In addition to classrooms there will be an auditorium; however, we feel this one is quite lofty.” The school is considering bringing a portable on site in September 2015 to offer high school.

not-for-profit organization, was founded in 1997, and for the first few years the school was located in the basement of the Calvary Pentecostal Church in Carleton Place. The school moved to its permanent home in Franktown Beginning Calvary Christian Academy, in 2001. A board of directors, which is set up as a charitable consisting of two local pastors,

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. Memoriam eorum retinebimus - Lest We Forget.” Eric Devlin, President Royal Canadian Legion Perth-Upon-Tay, Branch 244

Fiddleheads Bar and Grill celebrates 15 years in business Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

Business – For the past 15 years, Fiddleheads Bar and Grill has been undergoing subtle changes that have developed into a fine-dining experience in Perth’s Code’s Mill. Located next to the picturesque Tay Canal on Herriott Street, co-owners and Perth residents, Patrick Moore, general manager, and chef J. J. Stewart have welcomed customers near and far, and this year, celebrate 15 years in business. “We have had some major improvements and upgrades over those years,” said Moore, including accessibility upgrades. “It has turned into a much finer dining (experience) and has been wellreceived by the public. We’ve had great response.” Situated in one of Perth’s oldest heritage stone buildings, this former tannery turned felt factory has a rich history in town. Evidence of early Scottish stone masons is apparent throughout the town, including at Fiddleheads. Just this week, the owners have brought on board local ale from Perth Brewing Ltd. “We have two on tap; one is easy amber and the second is a rotating (beer) which will change on a monthly basis,” Moore said. “We’re really excited to partner with the brewery and to offer local beer to our customers.” Fiddleheads has improved both its inside look and its façade thanks to a community grant from the Town of Perth – the Community Improvement program. According to the Town of Perth’s website, the Downtown Perth Community Improvement Plan (CIP) is a 10-year, council approved, strategic initiative that is aimed at improving the prosperity of downtown businesses while at the same time maintaining the cultural and heritage assets located throughout the downtown core of Perth. Fiddleheads took advantage of this program and did some outdoor enhancements about two years ago that included wrought-iron fencing. “It’s a great program,” Moore said of the CIP. “We were able to do some upgrades to the façade of the building because of it.”

Fine dining Chef J. J. Stewart is also a co-owner of the business. A graduate of New England Culinary Institute, Stewart’s first apprenticeship was at Clair de Lune in Ottawa before venturing to Belgium where he made chocolate “and a whole lot more.” He was also a chef at the Perth Manor before opening Fiddleheads. Something he prides himself on is using local flavours in the restaurant. One of their main suppliers of farm fresh produce is Greg Farrow of Stony Brae Farm of Lanark County. They also use maple products from Coutts. Stewart said he believes customer service, the product, location and history all drive people to Fiddleheads. “It’s all-encompassing, really,” he said. Local partnerships are also important to the owners of Fiddleheads. Moore said they enjoy giving back to the community. Each year, they host a golf tournament for Camp Merrywood and Easter Seals, and they host dinner and show events in collaboration with the Classic Theatre. As members of the recently formed group Merchants of Code’s Mill, Fiddleheads works with these other merchants to bring vitality to area. “Meet me in the Atrium” is the tag line that brings customers to experience a venue unique to Perth, offering a variety of services and retail shops with special events planned throughout the year. Nov. 8 and 9 look for Fiddleheads and the other businesses in Code’s Mill to join forces for a great holiday experience. The Merchants of Code’s Mill Laurie Weir/METROLAND Holiday Open House will take place Fiddleheads Bar and Grill, located in Code’s Mill in Perth, is celebrating 15 years in business this year. Picfrom 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will feature fun and entertainment for the entire tured are co-owners, chef J. J. Stewart, and general manager Patrick Moore. family. Merchants include Groundwaves Home and Gifts, Kelly’s Flowers and Gift Boutique, The Curly Red Head, Coutt’s Coffee Emporium and Code’s Mill on the Park – Wedding and Conference Facility. “This is the first time we are hosting this,” Moore said. “We are trying as a group to create the ideal holiday experience.”

Thunderbolts claim Lanark County championship; defeat St. John 21-2 Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@perfprint.ca

Sports – It was a battle between two tough and deserving teams but in the end the Almonte and District High School Thunderbolts came out on top to claim the Lanark County Interschool Association (LCIAA) senior football championship. The Thunderbolts are back-to-back champs after they defeated the St. John Catholic High School Spartans 21-2 on Friday, Oct. 31 in Almonte. After the game, Almonte coach Brian Sonnenburg told the team that all of the coaches were very proud of them. “They played really tough. They played their positions and they won as a team,” said Sonnenburg. “They deserve everything they get.” St. John coach David Peters also applauded the Spartans for their efforts and for going 3-2 in regular season action. “They played their hearts out. We are really proud of the effort they put in and it was definitely the toughest they played all season,” said Peters. Peters acknowledged how well the Thunderbolts played. “You have to give them a lot of

They are short staffed, as a lot of guys play both ways, and they tackle very well and play a great team game,” said Peters. Sonnenburg commended the Spartans as well. “They showed different things and it was a battle to the end.

They are a good, well-coached team,” said Sonnenburg. After the first quarter, the game was still scoreless and Peters said the Spartans were ready to play. “We were very happy with the effort. The boys came off the bus very focused and really wanted to compete

today,” said Peters. The Thunderbolts were the first to get on the score sheet midway through the second quarter after Zack Kealey caught a long pass to put Almonte in the red zone. Two plays later, Kealey ran the ball in on a big rush to the end zone. Another two plays later, Kealey

caught the ball for a pick-six and ran the ball 65 yards into the end zone. Sonnenburg said that play was a turning point for the Thunderbolts. “When Zack Kealey made the interception, that turned the game around for us,” said Sonnenburg. When asked about the interception, the ever-humble Kealey praised the entire defensive line. “It was a huge defensive game by all of us. I think the defence kept us in that game with only two points. It was the defence that won us that game,” said Kealey. Kealey said the championship feels “really good” and also said the interception in the second quarter was a game changer. St. John got on the scoreboard near the end of the second quarter when Almonte made a high snap that was blocked and the Spartans were able to run it in for a safety. Thunderbolt Ben Kargus scored the final touchdown in the third quarter as he made a long run to the outside into the end zone. Almonte will now play for the Renfrew-Lanark championship against Arnprior and District High School who won 6-0 over Renfrew Collegiate Institute on Nov. 7.

Nordic pole walking: Scandinavian sensation arrives in Perth Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Sports – What do you call it when you combine the best of cross-country skiing with the best of walking? Nordic walking. It may not make for a great punchline, but it can certainly help your waistline, and other parts of your body to feel better and burn calories. On Saturday, Nov. 1, Beth Neil offered a demonstration of the Scandinavian sensation at Conlon Farm, before classes started the following Monday. She discovered the activity herself by accident – as in, she had an accident that put her on disability, which led to her finding out about the exercise. She had worked as a paramedic for 22 years when she hurt her back while on a call this past summer. Taking up the physiotherapy that accompanied her injury, she met a friend who got her “hooked on urban poling,” she said. Her friend walks with the Nepean Nordic Walk Club, and “this changed her life.” While she is now on permanent disability, she has started up a new Nordic walking business, having received her teaching certification just last month. Neil offers classes Mondays at 6:30 p.m., Wednesdays at 9:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m., and Saturdays at 9:30 a.m., which would likely be between 3km and 5km in length. She explained to the group of interested walkers who met her on the windy chill of the post-Halloween morning that the poles combine “cross-country skiing techniques,” with the best of walking, working both the upper and lower body. “It was very big in the Scandinavian countries,” she explained, hence, the Nordic moniker, before it was expanded across Europe, and elsewhere. “It’s low impact. It’s non-intimidating. It’s social. It’s fun.” She claimed that the workout gets 90 per cent of body muscles working together, and that it works both on cement and on rougher ground, with a spear shaped tip for off road walks, and a foam-like “boot” to prevent slipping for cement walking. Nordic pole walking is not without its injuries, she said, with “skiers’ thumb” being the most common injury, when the hand gets caught in the pole straps during a fall. While her winter session will mostly stick to in-town routes, come next spring, she promised to look at walks at places like Murphys Point Provincial Park, along the Cataraqui Trail, and the Perth wildlife centre and their trails.

Above, Beth Neil explains the properties of a Nordic walking pole. At right, Neil demonstrates the proper stride of Nordic pole walking at Conlon Farm on Saturday, Nov. 1, as her bundled-up daughter, Jenna, holds up a poster of pointform notes in the background.

Move night at The Table: a review of Seeds of Time

Community - On the second Wednesday each month, The Table follows the Community Meal with a thought-provoking documentary. Increasingly participants and volunteers are suggesting titles. Last month, Sue Van Slooten, volunteer in the kitchen, not only picked the film, she acquired it, pre-screened it and then reviewed it. A small but passionate group came to view the film and stayed to discuss it. We thought you might like to read excerpts from Sue’s thoughtful blog about ‘Seeds of Time,” directed and produced by Sandy McLeod: It is a thoroughly impressive movie, with gorgeous cinematography. The main character is Dr. Cary Fowler, a man who has devoted his life to agriculture, seeds, and hopefully, not to be overly dramatic, humanity. I say hopefully, because agriculture as we know it today is teetering on the

edge of disaster. Our crop diversity is at an all time low, between mono-cropping and the extinction of many ancient varieties of food crops. The statistic that brings this all home – 93 per cent of varieties have gone extinct since 1903. Couple this with the ongoing crisis of climate change, and the plants just can’t adapt fast enough to save our vulnerable necks. “The movie follows Dr. Fowler among others on a journey that takes you completely around the world, but two locations stand out: Svalbard, Norway, and Peru. Svalbard has become the ark for seeds. Seeds are kept in the deep freeze from collections sent there from all over, be it the U.S., Canada, the Ukraine, Switzerland, Russia, as well as locations from the Far East and Africa. Peru is unique, because the Peruvian potato farmers are desperately attempting to

keep, and in a lot of cases, revive, old varieties of their potatoes. It is quite a moving experience seeing them digging their potatoes in their beautiful native dress, coming together with other local groups that didn’t all get along, just to save their heirloom potatoes. You see, there are two ways to save a variety - put it in a seed bank, or grow it. They took the latter option. They also shared their potato seed so they could be kept for the future. Incidentally, it should be noted that the potato is native to Peru, and has been grown there for at least 13,000 years. That’s right, 13,000 years, and they are threatened now within a generation with extinction from the land becoming too warm. There are many seed banks in the world, but they are all threatened by natural disaster, equipment failure and the like. Floods, like the ones suffered by Thailand

recently, are a large destroyer of seed banks. The Thais lost all their seeds in that flood, thousands of varieties gone. For me personally, the most moving scene was when the woman from the Thai seed bank had to announce to the conference that it was a total loss, struggling to maintain her composure, but finally dissolving into tears. It was a heart-rending scene. Few people in the world understand the severity of the problem, the aforementioned 93 per cent already gone. Dr. Fowler, his colleagues, and many others in the field, work hard to save us from ourselves, but most people don’t even realize the problem exists. He himself is suffering from cancer, and for him, he realizes, time is running out, but it’s also running out for us. Time is not something we can afford to waste. “ There is in our area a grow-

ing recognition of the value of heirloom seeds and plants. A local veterinarian, for example, is on the hunt in Lanark County for heirloom apple trees, searching for viable old varieties. At Seedy Sunday every spring there is increased interest in exchanging seed for heirloom varieties of tomatoes and other vegetables.

Blair T. Paul’s art show raising money for R. Tait McKenzie sculpture Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@perfprint.ca

Arts – A Canadian artist’s common bond with one of Almonte’s most famous residents has helped inspired a new art show and community project. Blair T. Paul will open his new show titled ‘Around Almonte in 80 Paintings’ Nov. 7 at the Heirloom Restaurant, 7 Mill St., at 7 p.m. He will then make an appearance at The Palms Café, 78 Mill St., at 7:30 p.m. The works will then be on display at the two locations until Dec. 7. Paul is donating 45 per cent of the proceeds from the show to the R. Tait McKenzie Sculpture Fund and is hoping a bronze statue will soon be erected of the famous Almonte resident. “I was born in Almonte, but spent my early childhood years in rural Lanark County where I developed a true love for nature. I feel a common bond with McKenzie in that we are both artists and educators,” said Paul. “I also have been very physically active in sports in the past and was awarded my Queen’s Scout certificate which I prize dearly. Of course, McKenzie was very involved with sport as well.” Photo courtesy of Chris MacFarlane Paul attended Perth and District Collegiate Institute and has always liked the Canadian artist Blair T. Paul’s painting, entitled Morning Fall River, is one of the pieces that will be on display during his show called ‘Around rural landscape. “I grew up in the country and was al- Almonte in 80 Paintings’ from Nov. 7 to Dec. 7.

Amanda Jordan releases country single Community – A local teenager has released a country music song, Letting It Go Tonight, which is getting some airplay on Ottawa’s Y101.1 radio station. Amanda Jordan, now 18 years of age, from Rideau Ferry, has been singing since the tender age of 18 months. She has been making her way up the musical ladder ever since. This first country single was released in October to country commercial radio stations across Canada. Y101.1 is playing it regularly. Jordan wrote the song and had it recorded in Nashville. It was pitched to Red Vinyl music in Nashville. Jordan says she is working on a second release in the early months of 2015. You can hear the song on her You Tube channel at tjaj100. About Jordan Jordan is a singer, songwriter, vocal instructor, actor, and model from Rideau Ferry. In 2013/14 she was one of Ottawa Idol’s Top Ten Winners and has been referred to as a rural songbird by local media. She attended four years at Canterbury High School in Ottawa and is now enrolled at Carleton University in the vocal program. She also studies at the Royal Conservatory of Music and will be writing her Grade 8 vocal exam soon.

Amanda Jordan On the moving scene, Jordan has been making special appearances. Most recently she was cast as an actor/singer in the movie “Killing Daddy” aka “A Daughter’s Revenge” where she sang and played her guitar for two of her originals songs. She recently co-hosted and performed in Cogeco’s Talent series called Music Volume which aired in 2014 where she received an invitation to co-host the next six series as well and to perform. Jordan is no stranger to doing for others as she’s performed telethons for CHEO and for a Palliative Care telethon. She has also auditioned and was part of a talent showcase at Centrepointe Theatre.

While in Nashville, Jordan has performed at the Wild Wing Cafe in the singer/songwriter workshop produced Susan Gabrielle and performed in the cable TV show called “Spotlight on Nashville” which is produced by Mike Jennings. She performed at the Bluebird Café open mic evening, and made a music video. Jordan’s original music cultivates awareness for various social causes, such as teen mental health, disabilities, and teen relationships. She has written a song for a group of young teen girls who suffer from Scoliosis called, “Got Your Back Always.” Her second last original is about creating awareness and sensitivity towards teens who suffer from depression or other mental illnesses and this song is called “Breathe Easy.” This powerful song portrays the importance of providing support to our friends in need. Jordan has also written an original song about the dangers of unhealthy teen relationships called “Sad List”. Jordan is influenced by musicians like Danielle Bradberry, Hunter Hayes, Rascall Flats, Miranda Lambert, Kira Isabella, Casey Musgrave and Brea Lawrenson.

ways surrounded by nature,” said Paul. “I always enjoyed driving the back roads around Almonte to see the scenery.” Paul has been a professional artist for 40 years and attended The Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto and graduated with honours from its Fine Arts program in 1974. He also attended Queen’s University where he graduated with honours from the Technological Studies Program in 1984. The acrylic exhibit depicts the serenity of landscapes and he says anyone who appreciates nature would enjoy it. “The exhibit shows the country side of Lanark County and how beautiful it is. McKenzie probably thought the same thing,” said Paul. R. Tait McKenzie The R. Tait McKenzie Memorial Museum at the Mill of Kintail showcases his life. He used the mill as his summer home and sculptor studio. The museum is run by the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority and its website says McKenzie served in the First World War as military surgeon and he introduced rehabilitation plan that revolutionized the treatment of the wounded. He was also a world-renowned sculptor and his ‘The Joy of Effort’ piece is mounted at the Olympic Stadium in

Stockholm, Sweden. “He’s definitely one of our most famous Canadians and people need to be aware of what he did. He contributed so much to art, sports, medicine, education and he needs to have a higher profile,” said Paul. “He contributed so much to the world and he is a Canadian superstar in my eyes and needs as much recognition as we can give him.” There is a small committee working on the project and Paul is hoping more people will come forward to support the fundraiser. He is thankful to other community members such as Stephen Brathwaite for his help organizing the exhibition, and Chris MacFarlane. “It’s an artist to artist tribute and I am hoping others will see the necessity of doing this,” said Paul. “It’s a winwin situation to attract more people to town.” Although no location as been officially chosen as of yet for the tribute, Paul thinks in front of Almonte Old Town Hall would be a great location to connect the statue to the Almonte Cenotaph, which features a piece McKenzie created called ‘The Volunteer.’ “I would hope people would see: Here’s the man, here’s his work with a plaque with some information on him,” said Paul. “He’s too important of a man to be forgotten.”

Christmas sales start day after Halloween for good Lioness cause

Community – The Perth Lionesses certainly don’t wait around. Less than 12 hours after trick-or-treaters likely left their front doors, members of the club returned to the Lions Club at the Perth Fairgrounds on Saturday, Nov. 1, for their annual Kris Kringle Kraft Sale. Various vendors sold appropriate holiday-themed gifts, while others were completely out of left field, but, it all lies in the eyes of the beholder come Christmas morning…or Hanukkah evenings, or Kwanzaa…well, you get the idea. Above, Johvi Leeck of Beyond the Garden Gate in Almonte offers a potential customer a sample of one of her jams.
