Blue Wings host fundraiser for injured Shawville player

By STAFF

Sports – The Perth Jr. B Blue Wings will be holding a fundraiser for Shawville Pontiacs player, Brett Nugent, who was injured in a game here last month that sent him to hospital via ambulance.

The PDCI Blue Devils are LCIAA champs after big win at SFDCI. — Page P16

Nugent’s prognosis was not made known to this newspaper, but the owner of the Perth Blue Wings said the team will be holding this fundraiser for the Shawville player on Nov. 15,

during their home game against the Ottawa Jr. Canadians at 7:30 p.m. A logo has been made for Nugent, (red in colour, with his number 15 and a ‘thumb’s up graphic) with 100 per cent of gate admission donations given to the fundraising total.

Pay whatever admission you wish – $5, $10, $20, $100 – 100 per cent of the 50/50 will also be given to the fundraising total, noted Christine Lyon, director, corporate sales and marketing

with the team.

McLean Insurance Protection Team Perth will match dollar for dollar all monies raised.

Special T-shirts for Nugent will be available at the game.

For fans who can’t make the game but want to donate, visit www.FillTheRinkforBrett.com.

The website will be set up this week and people can also watch the Blue Wings website www. perthbluewings.com for details as more becomes available.

News – Got a story to tell about your experiences with the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital? Well, operators are standing by.

Whether your experiences with either campus of the hospital were good, bad, or even indifferent, the new hotline – at 888-599-0770 – sponsored by the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions (OCHU) and the Canadian Union of Public Employees, went live this week.

“This (number) is just for Perth and Smiths Falls, and area,” said OCHU President Michael Hurley, during a press conference at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 95 in Smiths Falls on Monday, Nov. 4.

While the unions which represent hospital workers in the area – including OPSEU, the Ontario Public Service Employees Union – have heard anecdotal evidence of how cutbacks are affecting services at the hospital from their members, Hurley wants to hear from the community at large, to get a wider picture of what is going on.

“The budget process for the hospital is coming up at the end of March and we believe that the consequences of the cutbacks have been redirecting people for treatment to other facilities,” he charged. “(But) that’s our belief.

We don’t know that…We hope to get some input from people who have had to access health care in Smiths Falls or Perth, so we can have a discussion about that. We can use that information to pressure the funder at Queen’s Park.”

Information can be left anonymously, or you can elect to leave details, but Hurley stressed that “nobody’s experience will be divulged with attribution, unless they want to be.” He also promised that residents phoning the Toronto-based phone line would receive follow-up phone calls from the union group after their initial call to help form a “coherent narrative,” to their story.

The hotline may also have the side-benefit of being a cathartic way for former patients and their

families to talk through their experiences.

“People are upset and they want to talk to someone,” said Hurley. “We will take the time to talk to them.”

Callers have until the end of January to ring up the service, after which the information will be gathered and compiled into a report, though “how extensive it is depends on how much feed-back we have.” Personal stories may make up the dramatic thrust of the report, but Hurley promised that there would also be “some information context around the stories to give it meaning.”

A copy of the report would be made available to Linda Bisonette, the president and chief administrative officer of the hospital, as well as Deb Matthews, the Minister of Health and LongTerm Care.

Funding freeze The year 2014 will mark the third year of a five-year funding freeze that will expire on Dec. 31, 2017. According to Hurley, hospitals across the province are facing rising costs of about 5.8 per cent per year thanks to rising doctors’ pay, drugs, and technology costs.

“This puts hospital inflation ahead of consumer inflation,” which is around three per cent.

“We expect this to get considerably more difficult going forward.”

The group continued to warn that “the policy of the provincial government is to downsize smaller hospitals,” and to centralize operations to larger hospitals in urban areas. He pointed to the Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital which has been waiting a long time for its redevelopment plans to get the green light from Queen’s Park.

“The government does not agree with the scope of the services they intend to deliver (in Carleton Place),” Hurley said.

A+ rating Earlier this year, the hospital received an A+ rating from an online Fifth Estate poll, which found the facility to be the best hospital of its size in the country.

Bone marrow drives to be held for teen requiring transplant all participate and register. Mackenzie’s dad, Doug, is an alumnus of the Bears and Blue Wings.

Doug said Mackenzie is a big volunteer in the community and encourages people to organize bone marrow drives at their high schools, through their work, unions or sports organizations. “She (Mackenzie) has been a great volunteer and a really great daughter. When our family friend was dealing with breast cancer she made bracelets and raised over $1,600 for breast cancer research,� he explained. “That is one of the many things she has done over her 16 years.�

OneMatch has a simple system in place for those wishing to organize or take part in a bone marrow drive, which includes a school as-

sembly with a 15-minute presentation by a OneMatch representative. To register in the system, all donors have to do is give a simple cheek swab sample. “It is very important to Mackenzie and our family to help the OneMatch program grow, for our daughter as well as the next person and family who will require the use of the bone marrow registry,â€? Doug stated. â€œâ€ŚBy helping Mackenzie as a potential donor, you could also help save the life of someone who will be near and dear to someone.â€?

For more information about the OneMatch Stem Cell and Marrow Network and how to register, visit www.onematch.ca or find their page on Facebook (www. facebook.com/OneMatch).

Community – Becoming a bone marrow donor can save a life, maybe Mackenzie Curran’s.

The 16-year-old teen who attends Regiopolis-Notre Dame Catholic High School in Kingston, has myelodyplastic syndrome (MDS) and requires a lifesaving bone marrow transplant. To spread the word about the importance of bone marrow donation, two upcoming ‘Get Swabbed’ bone marrow drives will be held in Smiths Falls and Brockville. “These (drives) are being held through Canadian Blood Services and its OneMatch Stem Cell and Bone Marrow Network,� explained Mackenzie’s aunt, Pattie Curran Tuck. “We are looking for males 17 to 35 in hopes of find-

Studio Theatre brings back old-fashioned storytelling in ‘Voices’

By JOAN SONNENBURG

Arts – “Life is all about finding a way to communicate with one another�, says Sue Tennant of Studio Theatre in Perth. “By using one of our senses - body language, sign, Braille, blissymbolics, or spoken word – we all find a way to communicate.�

Once this communication was personal, one individual to another. But today we live in an age of so-called mass communication, when we have only to press a button to learn what’s going on in any part of the world, listen to a favourite song, or tune into an exciting movie or TV show. The intimacy of the old-fashioned singer and storyteller seems to have all but died out. Rarely do we hear someone ask, “Tell me a story,� or “Sing me a song.�

But the Studio Theatre and Kelly’s Flowers are offering just such an experience in ‘Voices.’ On Sunday, Nov. 10 at 3 p.m., novelist Tim Wynne-Jones and singer Jenny Whiteley will take you on a journey of life as they see and have seen it. Here is an opportunity to sit back, relax be entertained in words and song by two award-winning wordsmiths.

Tim Wynne-Jones will be reading from and discussing Blink and Caution, his most recent award winning novels. Thriller, crime novel, and social commentary – it is a story charged with tension and suspense in which two compelling characters are caught up in a dangerous blackmail scheme. Tim is also the author of many children’s, young adult and adult novels.

A proud officer of the esteemed Governor General’s award, Tim is currently the writer in residence at Queen’s University. He lives with his wife Amanda Lewis in Brooke Valley a short distance from Perth on 76 acres of scrubby swamp land. They have three grown children. He is also a musician who loves rock and roll and getting together with his favourite local band mates from The Usual Suspects.

Jenny Whiteley is a gifted singer whose lyrics capture the soul of real-life experiences. Her evocative self-titled debut album won the Juno Award for Best Roots and Traditional Recording: Solo in March 2001.

She is the daughter of renowned blues musician Chris Whiteley.

Being prodigy of a mu-

sical family, her destiny was determined long ago, and her peers have recently recognized Jenny’s incredible voice. Prairie Oyster invited her to sing on their re-released Man in the Moon, a song written by Jenny’s father Chris. She also sings background vocals on Sarah Harmers hit song, Basement Apartment.

She has been awarded showcase opportunities at a number of exclusive North American festivals, including the Ontario Council of Folk Festivals, the North American Folk Alliance and South by Southwest Music Festival and conference. She lives with her husband Joey Wright and their daughters in nearby Maberly, Ontario.

So on Sunday afternoon, Nov. 10 at 3 p.m., switch off your TV, leave

your iPad at home, and come sit in the intimate dark comfort of the Studio Theatre, and let Tim and Jenny tell you a story and sing you a song. And don’t forget, even if you have a mobility issue, Studio Theatre is now fully accessible.

Tickets for this event are available Kelly’s Flowers, 63 Gore St. E in Perth, 613-267-7065.

Tickets are $20 and payable by cash, debit, or credit card. They will also be available at the Studio Theatre box office the night of the performance.

Cash only.

Arts – On Friday evening, Nov. 8, the first of seven community theatre groups will heed the traditional stage manager’s call and take their places as the lights come on at the start of Eastern Ontario Drama League’s (EODL) 45th annual One Act Play Festival. The festival will run through the weekend with performances on Friday night, Saturday afternoon and Saturday evening.

These seven community theatre groups from across eastern Ontario will be competing for a variety of prestigious awards. A Green Room is held following the evening performances of Nov. 8 and 9 where the audience can mingle with the casts and crews of the competing groups over drinks and snacks.

The Green Room is the social centre of the festival where old friends meet and new friends are made, where disasters and triumphs are hilariously relived, new events excitedly discussed and old ones avidly re-examined. The festival’s finale is the celebrated brunch and awards ceremony where the competing groups await the adjudicator’s decisions on awards with eager anticipation.

The plays are adjudicated by a recognized professional in the Ontario drama world. This year, the adjudicator is Carolee Mason, particularly noted in her teaching of drama, working with drama students and young people as well as her experience as a director of drama and musicals. With her wealth of experience as a communicator, evaluator and instructor she is an invaluable adjudicator. The adjudicator gives a brief public evaluation of each group’s production at the end of each performance which the audience is invited to hear. A more detailed evaluation is given to the casts and crews following the public evaluation.

The plays will be performed in the Merrickville Community

2014 Mitsubishi Mirage: Named for what it turns gas stations into

The vehicles I road-test for these reviews (yes itís a tough job, but Iím willing to

make sacrifices) come from two main sources: press fleets owned by the Canadian

head offices of the manufacturers and local dealerships. I prefer to use dealership

units whenever possible because they more closely represent the trim and equipment level that you or I shop for, whereas press fleets are made up of fully loaded higher-end models. If you are interested in learning more about any of these vehicles, check out

the manufacturersí websites or better yet, call your local dealership and speak to one of their knowledgeable staff. Itís the ultimate in interactive information gathering.

The 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage I enjoyed for this review came from the friendly folks at

Rivington Mitsubishi in Carleton Place.

Mitsubishiís latest entry into the Canadian market, the Mirage has now landed on dealer lots and is finding early acceptance from buyers looking for fuel economy and affordability in a stylish and

safe package. The base model leaves the driveway at $12,348 for the ES trim package with a five-speed manual transmission.

THE EMC - 5 - Thursday, November 7, 2013

package came in at $17,098 before destination fees, dealer prep, or taxes.

Power comes from a 1.2 L dual overhead cam three-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 74 hp. The front wheels are driven through either a five-speed stick or a CVT. While this is no muscle car or even an RVR cross-over, it doesnít pretend it is either. With the CVT acceleration was acceptable for a sub 100hp subcompact. I took the Mirage up to just over 100 kph with surprisingly low levels of road or engine noise.

Its short wheel base and overall length (96î and 149î respectively) combined with a very small turning circle makes the Mirage very easy to move through an urban setting.

No worries about being able to find a large parking spot or a wide opening in tight traffic.

Inside, a proportionally taller roof line gives the Mirage ample headroom for even 6+ footers and full length side doors and a low step in makes entry and exit reasonable for this class. The

tall roof line extends the entire length creating great cargo space especially with the rear seats folded down. Unexpected touches such as heated seats and a fully automatic climate control system nicely provided some creature comforts in a simple yet functional interior.

On the highway some body-sway is noted with stronger cross winds and/or hard cornering maneuvers. Seats were supportive, engine noise or vibration was minimal and for an entry level vehicle it would be hard to find a longer feature list for the money.

Standard seven air-bags, anti-lock brakes, active stability and traction control, a brake override and assist system all bring a higher than expected level of passenger safety to the table.

Exterior styling is reminiscent of the Honda Fit and seems to keep up with current auto fashion trends.

Forward and rearward visibility is better than most sub-compacts and while the majority of driving most Mirages will see

will be in urban centres or commutes, this vehicle would make a suitable regional tourer.

The big news for Mirage fans is the fuel economy. The three-cylinder sips fuel at an incredibly light rate. A CVT equipped Mirage is pegged

by NRCan at 5.3 L/100 km city and 4.4 L/100 km highway (53.3 mpg 64.2 mpg respectively). US EPA ratings converted to imperial gallons are 44.4 mpg city and 52.8 mpg highway. Either way the Mirage is deep into hybrid mileage territory without the extra price tag those gasoline/ electrics carry.

Mirage is backed by the best warranty in the industry; a 10 yr/160,000 km power-train and 5 yr/100,000 km new vehicle warranty with a 5 yr/unlimited distance roadside assistance plan.

So for a second family car or a first for younger buyers, the Mirage has all the tools to handle day to day commuting and a little fun on the weekend without breaking either the purchase bank or monthly fuel bill.

Community – Are you an elementary or secondary school student? Are you passionate about nature? Do you relish the opportunity to use your research, art, design, and written communication skills to inspire all of us to help our planet? Then this poster contest is for you.

As part of the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) plastic bag reduction campaign, we invite all local elementary and secondary school students, including those who are homeschooled to participate in our Refuse-To-Use Poster Contest designed to reduce the use, locally, of singleuse plastic bags. Because they are so lightweight and buoyant and take hundreds of year to break down, plastic bags escape into fields, forests, rivers and oceans, wreaking havoc on millions of animals and their habitats around the world.

MVFN’s plastic bag reduction effort began earlier this year with the goal to raise awareness of the harm caused globally by the release of plastic bags into the natural environment. During this campaign, MVFN volunteers surveyed local businesses about plastic bag use and conducted smallscale surveys of numbers of people using re-useable containers vs. plastic bags for their shopping. MVFN volunteers also hosted a series of information tables at events such as the Almonte and Pakenham fairs, Celt-

Great Big Sea frontman Alan Doyle enjoys addition of solo career

Submitted photo

A documentary chronicling the making of Alan Doyle’s, above, solo record is set to air nationwide on CMT on Friday. His band, Great Big Sea, will be returning to Ottawa on Nov. 17 for a performance at the NAC. this,� Doyle added.

One of the songs he personally prizes is Where I Belong, a ballad Doyle characterizes as having special meaning to him because it speaks to where he is from - a place which shaped him and gave him courage to chase his dream. “It’s about home in the capital ‘H’

sense, to know you have a home to go,� he said. “There is nothing quite like it.�

The creation of Boy on Bridge took him from the bustling streets of Toronto to the country-strong empire of Nashville – with a little help along the way.

The documentary, produced by Take

a compilation album of both pop and folk songs.

When Doyle reflects, it all seems so surreal. “Yeah, I’m still here,� he joked.

Boy on Bridge is set to air on CMT Canada this Friday (Nov. 8) night at 9 p.m. ET/PT, and Great Big Sea will be performing at the NAC on Sunday, Nov. 17. They’re also performing to a sold out crowd in Brockville on Saturday, Nov. 16 at the Brockville Arts Centre.

The solo album is available at stores such as HMV and Costco, or available for order online on Doyle’s website at www.alandoyle.ca.

Arts – There is a scene in Alan Doyle’s documentary where the Canadian musician tosses rocks over a bridge.

It is the same bridge he stood on numerous times as a youngster in his hometown of Petty Harbour, NL, often wondering where life would take him.

Fast forward to the present and Doyle is the lead singer of the muchloved Canadian folk-rock band Great Big Sea, while simultaneously experiencing his first solo music career.

But it didn’t come without its waves of highs and lows.

A feature-length documentary, entitled Boy on Bridge, shows the audience a raw portrayal of Doyle as a musician apart from his role in Great Big Sea. Doyle said he hopes those who watch it understand his drive and passion for music. “It would be great if people could look at it and see the wanderlust and curiousity that I have, and see where it came from, and how grateful I am because of it,� he said.

The title of the album is a nod to a film credit he was given during his childhood when he was asked to be an extra for TV movie A Whale for the Killing, filmed partly in Petty Harbour.

The idea of pursuing a solo career had been brewing for some time, he said, and ultimately saw the musician tap into his love of classic rock and country music while exercising his musical imagination over a two-year period.

Some of the recording was actually done on Doyle’s laptop. “There’s always something that has to be heard or something that needs to be said,� he said.

Doyle said while he knows how to play some instruments, such as the guitar, mandolins and percussion, all of which he played on the album. He also played instruments he’s been learning, such as the banjo, piano, and accordion. “I’m very much still a student of music,� he said. “All my life, I’ve wanted to do

the Shot Productions Inc., sees Doyle teaming up with musical legends and friends to shape the album, including Newfoundland folk singer-songwriter Ron Hynes, Jim Cuddy of Blue Rodeo, indie artist Hawksley Workman, his Robin Hood and Republic of Doyle co-star Scott Grimes, Grammy awardwinning Gordie Sampson, notable television composer Mike Post, and good friend and long-time musical partner Russell Crowe.

His first film credit back in Petty Harbour would be the first one on his actor’s list. The musician-turned-actor now has a few more under his belt, such as playing Allan A’Dayle, one of Crowe’s Merry Men in the 2010 Ridley Scott-directed movie Robin Hood, as well as recurring tough guy and undercover cop Wolf Redmond in the CBCproduced and Newfoundland-based hit action TV show, Republic of Doyle.

He also has a role in Crowe’s 2014 film, Winter’s Tale, as Dingy – a thief.

Doyle was just recently named to play the villain Senator Gideon Robertson in a film adaptation of Strike!, a musical stage production that brings the 1919 Winnipeg General Strike to life.

He’s also produced albums for actor Russell Crowe and Juno Award winners The Irish Descendants, and delivered soundtracks for the movie Young Triffie’s Been Made Away With, and the television series Hatching, Matching, & Dispatching.

When not on stage, Doyle is in high demand as a producer and arranger, sharing his love for music with many across Canada and around the world.

Doyle said the band always looks forward to coming back to Ottawa, a city, he said, which has always supported the band and brought out thousands of fans looking to have a good time.

Great Big Sea is widely known for playing lively rock interpretations of sea shanties and original feel-good songs such as Ordinary Day, Consequence Free, I Am King, End of the World, and island jigs including Paddy Murphy, Lukey’s Boat, and Captain Kidd, just to name a few.

In celebration of their 20th anniversary as a band, they recently released

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

War Amps marks 95th anniversary this year DEAR EDITOR: I belong to Operation Legacy, a group of members of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program dedicated to preserving Canada’s military heritage and teaching other young people how to carry on the remembrance message.

This year, The War Amps is celebrating a major anniversary. Ninetyfive years ago, First World War amputee veterans formed The Amputations Association of the Great War. The name was changed to The War Amputations of Canada when Second World War amputees joined their ranks. These men later started the CHAMP Program to assist young amputees like me.

In addition to having had the privilege of learning about Canada’s military heritage from a young age, I also know what it is like to live without a limb – a strong bond that I share with war amputee veterans.

Because of this, I feel it is my duty to ensure that the stories of war are preserved and its lessons never forgotten.

Operation Legacy is a commitment to preserving our national mili-

tary heritage, and by doing so, we honour the men and women who have fought for us – even given their lives – to protect our rights and freedoms. And by passing on the stories of horror that these heroes have endured, it reminds us that war is something we never wish to face again.

We remember that is better to choose peace over war and that standing up for what we believe in is what makes us Canadians. Champs in Operation Legacy wish to spread this message not only to the adults whose parents perhaps lived through war, or left a war-torn country to come to Canada, but also our youth, as they will be the ones who need to pass on the remembrance to the next generation so that we ensure that the legacy of our veterans is never forgotten.

I encourage everyone – particularly young people – to learn more through The War Amps Military Heritage Series documentaries, which are available at a cost-recovery price at waramps.ca.

Food for thought Editorial – The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit released the results of their Nutritious Food Basket costing for 2013 and it certainly gives some food for thought.

This is something done by all public health units in Ontario where the price of 67 food items is calculated from grocery stores in the tri-county area. The results put into perspective just how much it can take to feed a family of four (two adults and two children). They found that the cost is $178 per week or $772 per month, which reflects a nine per cent jump in the cost of food since 2010.

We are all aware the cost of living has gone up, whether it’s a heat or hydro bill or the price of gas at the pumps. Part of the problem is that as families get bigger and costs grow, salaries don’t often rise along with them. According to the health unit, it becomes more difficult not only to purchase food but make healthy choices while also trying to pay rent and find the money for transportation. In fact, a 2011 Canadian Community Health Survey noted that 9.3 per cent of people in the tri-county said they couldn’t afford to put all the food they needed on the table.

That’s why it’s so important to support local food banks and organizations such as the Salvation Army. While food banks are always in need of donations, as the holidays near, they are experiencing a much greater strain on their inventory. One of the largest seasonal initiatives, the Build a Mountain of Food Drive recently had its launch for another year and will be out at grocery stores throughout the area in November and December to collect food items for those who need it. They will be set up in Carleton Place, Almonte, Perth, Lanark, Smiths Falls, Westport, Elgin, Portland, Merrickville, Athens and Delta.

Consider donating a few cans of non-perishable food items or filling a bag for your local food bank. Pay it forward. You never know when you may need their services.

Remembrance Day held in high regard for Mary and family Lifestyle – Mother was always concerned that we five children didn’t have the proper respect for the true meaning of Remembrance Day. The school at Northcote with only 18 pupils, had no piano, and the few county officials were already involved with the ceremony in the town of Renfrew, and so there was little in the way of observance at the school.

For this reason, Mother, each year, piled all of us into the Model T and headed into town, where, as she put it, there would be a proper and fitting ceremony to remember those who had fallen in the First World War. Mother’s three young brothers had all been in the army, even though Mother said they weren’t old enough to vote, but they were old enough to fight in the war. By the way Mother talked about her brothers, I wondered if they perhaps had won the war singlehandedly!

Without fail, the weather was always dreadful on Remembrance Day. We would drive through freezing rain or snow, it seemed, and at a very young

age, I wondered if the terrible weather had something mysterious to do with the somberness of the day. And so when we headed into Renfrew, we were bundled up like mummies, with hats and mitts, and winter boots. We certainly wouldn’t have the luxury of wearing slacks on such a day, and even though I usually hated them with a passion, I was very grateful for the heavy navy blue fleece-lined bloomers over our long underwear and long beige ribbed stockings.

But it never mattered how much clothes we had on, there was always a piercing wind rolling down Raglan Street where the parade took place at the war memorial, and it penetrated our bodies and had us shivering like leaves on tree.

The children from the Renfrew schools always marched to the place where the ceremony was to be held. We five country children were very aware that we weren’t really a part of a group, but that certainly didn’t matter to our mother.

She would wait until the town school pupils had formed perfect lines, neither looking left or right, and then she would march the five of us right up to the front row, and position us so that we were actually an extension of the line-up of town kids. My older sister Audrey was most embarrassed, but her protests did nothing to sway our Mother.

The town children had sheets of music, and we would shudder in embarrassment when we would see Mother walk right over to a teacher, whisper in her ear, and then point to us, and then we would see her head back to us with five sheets of music!

prehension, someone from the town ranks of pupils always fainted. Just as sure as death and taxes, as soon as the person leading the program opened his mouth, one or two would topple over.

If the overcome person was a girl, the teacher would rush up, fan her with the sheet music, and if that didn’t help, she would be carried off with her eyes rolled into the back of her head.

But if it was a boy pupil who had succumbed to the pressures of the day and toppled over, he was left to lie there until he either revived on his own, or the ceremony ended. Emerson said, on the way home, “those Renfrew kids are a sickly lot...certainly none of us ever fell over in a dead faint.”

After all the war songs had been sung, out of the crowd would come a very old man with a shiny trumpet tucked under his arm. He would walk the full length of the parade area, and he wore a soldier’s uniform that obviously had been borrowed.

covered legs. He was very elderly, and Mother, ever the one to add drama to any situation, said he probably fought in the Boer War. He played the trumpet loud and clear as a bell, and there wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd!

The Renfrew children were the first to march off the parade grounds, and Emerson, not to be outdone by kids from town, turned on the heal of his gum-rubbers, and with his arms swinging, marched back down the street to where Mother had parked the Model T. On the road back to Northcote we would be subjected once again to Mother’s stories of how her own brothers went off to war, and often her voice would catch with the memory. But we knew she was filled with pride, and I too would be caught up in the stories, and would think of those uncles, who returned safely from battle, and unscarred...and I would think I was related to true war heroes. And then I would know, even though I was very young, why Remembrance Day was so important to our mother.

Insecticide linked to mass die-off of bees throughout Ottawa Valley derek.dunn@metroland.com

Photo by DEREK DUNN

Dust is kicked up from a field tilled in Dunrobin. Grain farmers and beekeepers agree neonicotinoids are killing insects in mass numbers. They disagree whether “planter dust” is doing it or the crops – contaminated throughout – are poisoning them during pollination.

Carleton between Pakenham and Arnprior. He has been an apiculturist since the mid 1970s when he took over his father-in-law’s farm. It supplements his income, along with driving a bus and one-time pursuits such as lambing.

But beekeeping didn’t supplement his income last winter.

“It was a wake up call,” said Polk, who is happy to produce 30,000 pounds of honey a year. He managed just 2,000 this year. “I’ve never experienced anything like this before.”

Polk is aware of the neonicotinoids debate. He has mixed feelings over farming practices. On the one hand, he knows they must grow more and more efficient to keep up with the competition, including the use of pesticides.

On the other hand, he says the relentless pursuit of profit at all costs is having a devastating affect on the natural world.

“Farming has changed completely in my lifetime. They don’t even cultivate anymore,” he said. “They are perfecting the bottom line today, but maybe not tomorrow.”

However, the die-off on Polk’s property this year had no direct link to neonicotinoids. It was the combination of a Varroa mite infestation and extreme weather.

“We didn’t use enough treatment to solve the problem,” he said. “In July we had a cool period. And they never made honey after that.”

Others would say neonicotinoids played an indirect role in the decima-

tion. After many years of usage, industrial insecticides are omnipresent: in water, soil, plants and animals such as bees. It could make them more susceptible to parasites and fungi.

Polk accepts that the science isn’t out on a cause, but conventional wisdom tells him that the two don’t mix.

“I think it’s a contamination but I don’t have any proof of that. There’s a lot of research to do, a lot of unknowns right now,” Polk said. “All I know is that pesticides and bees don’t mix well together. DuPont and Monsanto (companies) do lots of research, but nobody knows the long term.”

Beekeepers are anxious for a solution to stave of future losses. Farmers are unwilling to change the status quo for fear of losing profit. That may seem like a strict dichotomy. But according to the Arnprior area’s vice president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, Debra Pretty-Straathof, it is more complex.

Those who farm corn and soya use neonicotinoids. They are predominately in south western Ontario. Farmers in the Ottawa Valley area include those who require pollination, either because they are growing vegetables or feeding animals on food that flowered.

“You will have polar opposites in any group, but we are trying to work together,” Pretty-Straathof said. “Neither side wants to wipe out the other.

Everybody wants to help (bees) but

News – About 30 per cent of bee colonies were lost last spring; the second year in a row for mass die-offs.

The federal government has linked large-scale farming practices to the decline of insects that pollinate $2 billion worth of fruit and vegetables every year.

In September Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) issued to farmers a series of recommendations against certain insecticides known as neonicotinoids.

Is it enough to recommend against the usage of neonicotinoids?

Dwight Foster is a farmer in North Gower. He’s been scratching a living off the land for many years. A grain farmer with 4,000 acres – and a feed lot with 1,500 head of cattle – Foster can’t underestimate how crucial insecticides are to his operation.

“The seed treatment is very important for the development of the crops,” said Foster, a man of few words.

He said there is no reason to rush to judgment on neonicotinoids; that very little science has been done on the issue in Canada.

He wonders if insecticides are killing the bees or something else or a combination of multiple factors.

Health Canada blamed last year’s dieoff to weather: one cold snap at the wrong time could devastate colonies.

Then there’s exotic mites and fungi shipped in unwittingly or otherwise from far flung parts of the world that attack native bees.

Or even if it is insecticide-related, at which point in the farming process do neonicotinoids attack them?

Foster’s point is that no one at this stage can say for sure. And for him, the stakes are too high to act without certainty: a neonicotinoid ban would be a deal-breaker.

“There’s no reason to throw the baby out with the bath water,” he said.

“Without another product in place that does what it does, it would be huge disaster.”

Many large-scale farm operations are highly efficient but deeply susceptible to unravelling at the slightest change. Expensive equipment needs to be paid for through expected high yields. The slow eating away at profit that nature caused in the past is, today, replaced by a solid defence against losses – thanks in large part to insecticides.

Beekeeper Arnold Polk lives in West

be ingesting them.

Health Canada regulators have proposed better labelling on insecticides and require farmers to implement safer seed planting practices. Those moves aren’t enough for beekeepers, who are fewer in number and therefore hold less clout over lawmakers. Another year of mass die-offs could harbour untold calamity for many common foods such as: apples, onions, pears, beans, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, common peppers, eggplant, tomatoes and much more.

However, at this stage it doesn’t seem those welding power are willing to move any time soon. CarletonMississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren is a farmer, and sold seed to farmers throughout the region. He lauds the effectiveness of neonicotinoids while reserving judgement until further study is done.

“It is commonly used on corn seed to protect against insects and disease.

It does work. It helps farmers,” MacLaren said. “Canada has very stringent rules about pesticides.”

Still, if further studies show them to be harmful to bees or other animals, MacLaren said he has no problem with an outright ban.

R0012325198_0926

nobody wants to have a knee-jerk solution.”

She said it is widely accepted among farmers that neonicotinoids are a cause.

What is less certain, at least from the beekeepers side, is at what point the insecticides affect pollinators.

PMRA is studying contaminated “planter dust.” The hypothesis states that a coating of insecticide on each seed comes off during the farming process. It creates a dust cloud that bees fly though, causing them to ingest the neonicotinoids and die. Anecdotal claims from southern Ontario on this theory reached Polk.

“He (a beekeeper) said when (bees) were coming back through the cornfield they were falling like rain, and were in some kind of paralysis state,” Polk said. “They’ve lost hundreds of colonies of bees.”

Critics say inhalation of dust plays a less significant role than does consumption. Neonicotinoids could be fused into the seed and, over many years, the soil, and taken up by the plant through the soil to kill insects feeding on them. Ponds and other water spots could be chemical soups after this many years of using insecticides too, adding to chances bees could

Coalition of book lovers bringing one-man show to Perth Arts – Bookworm, the highly acclaimed one-man show that celebrates a love of books, libraries and reading-forpleasure and has brought audiences to their feet in theatres across Canada, will be staged at the Studio Theatre in Perth in a special one-night only presentation on Sunday, Nov. 24 at 7:30 p.m.

Written by and featuring Canadian songwriter and actor Corin Raymond, Bookworm is a powerfully moving story of the love shared between a father and son in tragic circumstances and the love of books and storytelling that transcends tensions between them and the adversities they face.

MERA director Danny Sullivan, who spearheaded a campaign to bring the production to Perth, said “Bookworm is the kind of show that will make a nonreader want to go and look up stories from Greek mythology and peruse the fiction shelves at the library. At the same time, it will make a book-lover want to go and check out Spiderman.”

“I first saw Bookworm at the Kingston Public Library last year, and I thought it was the best thing I’d ever seen in a library. I knew it was something that should come to Perth,” said Sullivan.

Although, the Perth and District Union Public Library had heard about the show and were interested in it, they don’t have a space for large public presentations, such as most big-city libraries have. So Sullivan went to work putting together a coalition of sponsors to bring Bookworm to the Studio Theatre, including MERA, Perth & District Union Public Library, the Friends of the Library, the Humm and Backbeat Books and Music.

Bookworm is a show that will appeal to all ages.

“When I saw it in Kingston, a good proportion of the audience were highschool aged, and you could tell that they were spellbound from the very opening line, like everyone else in the room,” he said. “It appeals naturally to book lovers, but you don’t have to be a book-lover to be inspired by it – though it should come with a warning that it might turn you into a book-lover. Like any good theatrical presentation, though, it is centered around a story.”

Bookworm is the story of a father reading to his son, growing up in a library, plus Spiderman, Ray Bradbury, and meeting the Minotaur for the first time just outside Wawa. Storytelling that has comedy, drama, plenty of beauty and life-inspiration, and a climax no one could possibly predict, all wrapped into one powerfully moving act.

Dramaturged by TJ Dawe and directed by Morgan Jones Phillips Bookworm was first produced at the Hamilton Fringe Festival in the summer of 2011, and was an immediate hit, winning awards at fringe festivals across Canada, including the London Fringe Festival’s Producer’s Award and Pick of the Fringe at Vancouver’s Fringe. Since then, it has been staged in theatres, public libraries and at storyteller’s and writers festivals, to universally enthusiastic reviews: “Corin Raymond is a storyteller who by the end of the night you’ll have known all your life.” – Brad Wheeler, The Globe and Mail “What a gift. In this one-man show...

Corin Raymond recalls a childhood surrounded by his father’s books, which offered comfort, reassurance, and escape from unusually lonely circumstances...

Raymond has impeccable timing, and his performance is at once intimate,

openhearted, and evangelical: ‘Reading aloud to someone is a way to cross souls,’ he effuses, making you ache to return to your favourite books, recite poems from memory, and read aloud to someone you love.” – Kathleen Oliver, Georgia Straight, Sept. 6, 2012 “An ode to books and the people who love them, Raymond cleverly mixes everyday autobiography with an inherited love of what lies between the covers of his favourite books. A true story told with passion and grace, Bookworm is for anyone who loves to read, and reread, beloved books. Really, don’t miss this one.” – John Threlfall, CVV Magazine, Aug. 25 to 28, 2012 “Powered by the man’s warmth and wit...Raymond is a natural storyteller... he’s pleasant and accessible...like the guy you might meet in a bookstore on a rainy afternoon, that wants to talk books...Magic.” (4 Suns) – Colin MacLean, Edmonton Sun, Aug. 21, 2012 “Some storytellers leave you gaping, forgetful of your surroundings and only wanting more. Corin Raymond is this storyteller. It’s well-paced, wellperformed and will have you heading to the first bookstore as you leave the theatre...” (4 stars) – Samantha Power, Vue Weekly, Aug. 20, 2012 Raymond was a guest on CBC radio’s The Next Chapter with Sheelagh Rogers, where he explained that so many books get mentioned in Bookworm that he has produced an appendix itemizing Submitted photo all of the books, stories, poems and other titles referred to in the show.

Canadian songwriter and actor Corin Raymond, above, will bring his “I’d come out the show and talk to acclaimed one-man show, Bookworm, to Perth’s Studio Theatre Sun- someone and I’d see they’d been writing day, Nov. 24. on their arm, so I have an appendix that

I can send to people,” Raymond said.

Aside from his Bookworm performances, Corin Raymond is a singersongwriter known as one half of the Toronto-based duo The Undesirables.

Paper Nickels, his recent live recording with backing band, The Sundowners, was released on two CDs as part of a 144-page hardcover book and made headlines across North-America for Raymond’s unique scheme to fund the recording by collecting thousands of dollars in Canadian-Tire money, enthusiastically donated by fans, friends, strangers and schoolchildren.

Born in Winnipeg MB, and raised in southern Ontario, Raymond keeps ties between the two cities close to his heart and throughout his songs, while his career continues to be inspired by a dialogue between them. Raymond grew up in northern Ontario, learning to appreciate the small time from his dad, who raised him after his mother died.

His father was a librarian, high-school teacher and bookseller. The pair lived in northern Ontario, north of Ear Falls, near Red Lake.

“He exposed me to a lot of culture when I was growing up,” Raymond recalled. “He taught me to love books, theatre and film.”

Bookworm is presented at the Studio Theatre in Perth, for one night only, on Sunday, Nov. 24 at 7:30 p.m. Admission is $15 and advance tickets are available from Tickets Please, 39 Foster St. in Perth (Jo’s Clothes), by phone at 613-485-6434 or online at www.ticketsplease.ca.

Local municipalities to receive source protection grants News – Several municipalities are part of 24 in total who will receive source protection grants totaling at least $1,472,771 to help them implement local actions to protect drinking water sources.

This is part of the province’s commitment of $13.5 million over the next three years to help support small, rural municipalities implement their source protection plans.

Source protection planning was a recommendation of the Walkerton Inquiry. In 2000, seven people died and more than 2,000 became sick after drinking contaminated water supplied by the Walkerton

Drinking Water System.

“We are taking care with source-totap protection of drinking water so we never have another Walkerton,” said Environment Minister Jim Bradley.

Municipalities across the province are taking steps to protect wellhead areas and water intake zones such as upgrading fuel tanks to provide more protective spill containment and engineering stream banks to protect water from run-off and erosion.

Grants range from $18,000 to $100,000. Municipalities have already worked with their partners to identify significant drinking water threats and complete source water protec-

tion plans. Municipalities receiving funding include: County of Lanark ($43,204); Town of Carleton Place ($61,331); Town of Mississippi Mills ($58,568); Town of Perth ($68,694); Town of Smiths Falls ($50,000); Township of Montague ($63,888); Township of Beckwith ($59,534); Township of Elizabethtown-Kitley ($67,016); Township of Rideau Lakes ($62,472); Township of Tay Valley ($54,634); Municipality of North Grenville ($57,518); United Counties of Leeds and Grenville ($52,061); Village of Westport ($73,954); and Village of Merrickville-Wolford ($67,708).

Municipalities may be eligible for

an additional collaboration incentive of up to $15,000 if they collaborate with other municipalities: • $5,000 for collaborating with one or two other municipalities • $10,000 for collaborating with three other municipalities • $15,000 for collaborating with four or more municipalities Municipalities will also develop education and outreach programs about threats to their local drinking water supplies and best practices for dealing with these threats.

There are 19 source protection regions across the province.

Upper Canada District School Board asks for increase in bus sharing News – The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) and its students have benefitted from increased efficiency by the Student Transportation of Eastern Ontario (STEO) busing consortium.

However, trustees recommended the consortium improve its operations even more. Members passed a resolution Oct. 23 asking STEO to undertake a feasibility study to accomplish the consortium’s shared busing targets in a shorter period of time.

Statistics released at the board’s regular meeting Oct. 23 suggest the overall capacity rate of buses contracted by STEO is extremely high and that the use of shared vehicles is rising – indicating that UCDSB students are benefiting from an improving operation, said 1st vice-chair Jeff McMillan.

“Staff members at STEO are really working hard to be as efficient as they can,” said McMillan. “We are seeing real growth.”

STEO is a consortium established between the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) and the UCDSB to administer transportation. STEO transports 35,000 students daily.

Statistics provided by STEO and presented at the meeting by McMillan indicate the use of shared busing through the consortium has increased. The number of students riding shared routes has risen from 2.5 per cent last year to seven per cent of the bused population. It represents an increase from 875 last year to 2,500 students this year. Shared busing means that students from both boards

are riding on the same bus at the same time.

The number of students riding double bus routes has also increased from eight per cent to 18 per cent of the bused population. This represents an increase in students riding double routes from 2,800 last year to 6,300 this school year.

A “double route” means that a single bus accomplishes one run carrying students from one board, then accomplishes a second run carrying students from the other board.

Among the other ways the board has benefitted through its participation in the consortium is that STEO has a vehicle capacity rate of 80 per cent. The high rate indicates that STEO is utilizing its fleet effectively.

Over the next five years, the goal of

THE EMC - 10 - Thursday, November 7, 2013

STEO is to increase double route busing to 50 per cent of all students transported, and to increase students riding at the same time, same bus to 25 per cent of the bused population.

While board members conceded that STEO is improving its operations, trustee Lisa Swan proposed the motion to see if efficiencies could be increased even more.

Committee of the Whole also recommended that the Upper Canada District School Board recognize the International Day for People with Disabilities on Dec. 3.

The busing matter will come before the board for further discussion on Nov. 13.

Many benefits to using rain barrels Community – Rainbarrels are beautiful because they‌ • Store and distribute clean, chemical-free water at no cost • Reduce erosion and sediment loading in local streams/lakes by reducing runoff from your property • Promote infiltration of water into the ground to replenish our groundwater supply • Decrease your water bill if your drinking water is metered It only makes sense to save and use what Mother Nature gives us rather than making the expensive municipal drinking water system or your private well work hard to produce water for gardening.

Capturing rainwater In the past two years, the Rideau Valley Conservation Foundation and our local partners have sold 870 barrels at four partnered sales in the watershed. The foundation and the local partners each earned some money for community activities. In addition to that, we know that each barrel captures 220 litres (L) of rainwater per storm event which is then used by the householder in the garden (infiltrating the water into the ground).

During each storm event, our 870 barrels capture about 191,000 L of rainwater and stop it from running directly into the surrounding watercourses (a good thing).

If we assume six storms per growing season, it means that a total of 1.1 million L of rainwater is diverted from a nasty career of direct runoff

into a much more honorable role of producing flowers, vegetables and kitchen herbs.

If we further add the hundreds of other rain barrels sold by other groups in the Rideau Valley, it is reasonable to imagine literally millions more litres of potentially damaging runoff being diverted from the Rideau system for use in beautiful gardens every year.

This is indeed a very good thing.

Winterizing your rain barrel Now that Thanksgiving’s past and the outdoor furniture is cleaned up (using rain barrel water) and safely tucked away for another season, it’s time to “winterizeâ€? your trusty old rain barrel for longer life and better performance in four easy steps: • Disconnect the eavestrough downspout from the barrel (don’t forget to reconnect a downspout extension to funnel water away from house foundations) • Empty and rinse the rain barrel • Keep the screen, the valves and the hose together in one box • S tore the barrel upside down either outside or in your garage or basement.

If you don’t have a rain barrel yet, especially at the cottage, you can pick them up very inexpensively at one of the conservation foundation’s rain barrel sales in late spring 2014. Get on our email list and watch your inbox for upcoming dates, locations and times.

Community – The Canadian Federation of University Women, Perth and District hosted a public meeting recently featuring Cheri Barton, a volunteer for Trillium Gift of Life Foundation and a busy Vankleek Hill mother of three, who, using her own personal experience, illustrated the importance of organ and tissue donation.

Cheri Barton has Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) which is one of the most common, life threatening genetic diseases for which there is no treatment and no cure – it threatens the lives of every generation of every family living with the disease. Multiple cysts grow in the kidneys and may, along with other major symptoms, cause the development of kidney failure and the necessity of dialysis or a transplant to allow the person to live.

Local resident considers herself lucky to have cancer society transportation program

By GENA GIBSON For Canadian Cancer Society of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville

News – When her husband received a cancer diagnosis in several years ago, Diane Campbell learned the importance of the Canadian Cancer Society’s transportation program. She travelled with Vernon to appointments and treatments, and saw how the volunteer drivers handled their duties with care and patience.

Last year, seven years after Vernon died of cancer at the age of 68, Diane received a cancer diagnosis of her own. Living in rural Clyde Forks without a driver’s licence, she knew she would have to rely on the cancer society again.

“I love them,” she said of the various drivers who had taken her to Kingston for appointments. “They’re 100-per-cent perfect.”

Although Campbell will move to Kingston in mid-November at the request of her children while she undergoes several months of treatments, she has regular doctor appointments, both in Lanark and in Kingston. She said she always asks for five days’ notice, so she can give the drivers time to fit her into their schedules.

Carol Alexander of Tatlock is one of her regular volunteer drivers, and is, according to Diane, “the best thing since sliced bread.” When Alexander was a teacher in Almonte, she taught one of Diane’s children, and now they have created a closer bond through the volunteer-driver program.

“It doesn’t matter who I’ve had (driving me),” she stressed. “I just can’t believe how perfect they are – I don’t know how to describe it.

“I just appreciate it.”

Diane started using the drivers last year, when doctors found cancer between her bladder and her uterus. She had chemotherapy and radiation, and will start chemotherapy treatments in November with a new drug, Yervoy, used to treat melanoma that has spread to other parts of the body.

“I consider myself so lucky to have the volunteer drivers,” she stressed.

She said that Vernon asked for all donations to go to the volunteer-driver program of the Canadian Cancer Society, and she plans to do the same in her will.

She also plans to donate to the Wheels of Hope campaign, which is a fundraising campaign that runs from September to December. Money

raised goes to fund the Canadian Cancer Society’s local transportation program, which is a no-charge service to clients that will take them to and from cancer-related appointments.

Diane said the drivers she has are all personable and friendly, and happy to wait at appointments or be available by telephone when the appointment ends. The Canadian Cancer Society’s Lanark, Leeds and Grenville community office covers the area from Gananoque to Cardinal, as well as Lanark County and everything in between.

Last year, the transportation program filled 3,560 requests, with drivers covering 299, 518 kilometres to take 339 local clients to their appointments. The program in the tri-county unit cost more than $84,200, as the average cost to take one patient to a round-trip appointment is $60 due to the distances that clients need to travel compared to those in other parts of Ontario.

If you would like to help get a local cancer patient to their cancer treatments you can donate to the Wheels of Hope program by calling 613-2671058 or 1-800-367-2913.

UCDSB hosts event to encourage girls to enter trades Nov. 18 to 22 News – The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) is hosting a special event to let young girls know the value of a career in the trades.

The board’s Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP), and that of the coterminous board, will host Living the Skilled Life, from Nov. 18 to 22 at the University of Guelph, Kemptville Campus. The event will encourage females in Grade 10 to enter the trades by exposing them to a learning experience in horticulture, welding, and truck and coach diesel mechanic.

“There’s a real shortage of tradespeople in Ontario,” said Alex MacDougall, OYAP facilitator for the UCDSB. “Four out of ten new jobs over the next twenty years will be in the trades. By

the year 2020, Canada will be short one million skilled tradespeople and in Ontario alone 26 per cent of the skilled workers will be retiring over the next ten years.”

Skilled tradespeople earn competitive wages that can provide a comfortable lifestyle, said MacDougall.

During each day of the session, 15 girls from the UCDSB and another 15 from the coterminous board, will gather in groups of ten, and then rotate through demonstrations of each trade to get a feel for it.

When participants first arrive, they will be addressed by a third-year female apprentice welder who will give them an idea of what it is like to be a female working in the trades.

Mudds’ youth performers serve up admirable work in Othello ice’ is actually based on a short story by an Italian author.

The play revolves around four main characters. Othello, the namesake lead, is a general in the service of Venice.

Female performers in male roles dominated the Mudds’ effort. Dayna Stone, as Othello, had a very difficult task with the dialogue-heavy role and handled it admirably.

The other central characters are Othello’s new wife Desdemona (Leah West), his lieutenant Cassio (Katie Irvine) and his trusted ensign Iago (Hayley Fortier).

Clearly there was a shortage of males willing to tackle such demanding roles. But the young ladies in this production did a good job.

Special mention must be made of Fortier’s efforts as Iago. Hers was the most difficult role of all and she handled it flawlessly. So much to say and such a good job saying it! I didn’t detect a single miss and if there was any prompting I couldn’t detect it.

The Cole’s Notes

version of the play is as follows. The highly ambitious Iago becomes jealous when Othello promotes Michael Cassio to be his personal aide. He plots against the hero. After Othello elopes with the lovely Desdemona the plot (and plotting) thickens.

Murder afoot A dropped handkerchief is central to the story. Othello is tricked into becoming jealous of his beloved Desdemona.

As his rage grows he plans to kill her.

Murder is afoot as the story reaches its climax.

Othello returns to the castle to kill his innocent wife (he eventually smothers her to death).

Emilia, Iago’s wife and Desdemona’s devoted maidservant, eventually tells Othello the truth about her (Emilia’s) scheming husband.

Regular Mudds’ youth performer Candice Burn also deserves to be singled out for her work as Emilia.

She not only handled the demands of the dialogue well but she has a very expressive face.

Her strong effort stood out to me.

Evan Sauve as the luckless Roderigo also turned in a solid effort.

Roderigo, who lusts after Desdemona, is killed

by Iago when the attempted assassination of Cassio (Irvine) fails.

I made note that with such an impressive voice Sauve may have a lead role in his future?

Besides the main six characters a supporting cast of nine helped make this staging a success.

I was also impressed with the brief, but sultry performance, turned in by Lydia Charron as Bianca, Cassio’s jealous lover.

As the play reaches its bloody, tragic conclusion a flurry of madness sees Othello deliberately wound Iago. He decides he would rather make Iago suffer in pain rather than finishing him off.

Both face punishment for the murders they commit.

The conclusion comes suddenly when Othello, wracked with guilt after learning of Desdemona’s innocence, commits suicide with a dagger he

has concealed.

Credit to director Mark Piper (he also directed Macbeth two years ago), producer Wendy Jewell and associate producer Janice Bowie (another Mudds’ regular) for bringing this cast together and coaching them so well.

Shakespeare’s work is short on scenery and long on discourse.

When I think of Othello, I always recall the brilliant work of the late, great African-American actor, singer, athlete and activist Paul Robeson.

The staging of Othello on Broadway, with Robeson in the lead, was the longest running production of a Shakespeare

play ever staged along the “Great White Way.” There’s no question the popular play was a major undertaking for a youth theatre troupe.

But somehow I think Robeson – and Shakespeare – would be proud of the effort put forth by this young cast in Carleton Place, Ontario more than 400 years after Othello was penned.

The production concluded with matinee and evening performances Saturday.

R0022402388/1107

Arts – The Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre in Carleton Place took on a major challenge this fall, tackling Shakespeare’s timeless ‘Othello.’

The young actors did a more than credible job of presenting the classic tale of love, jealousy, betrayal and murder.

The only downside is that more people didn’t line up for tickets to see the four performances staged in the historic Carleton Place Town Hall Auditorium.

I will admit that I went to last Friday’s presentation with no particular expectations.

Although Othello is often performed by community theatre groups, it is a challenge for a relatively new youth troupe.

Mudds Youth Theatre only began staging productions here in 2009.

In fall 2011 the fledgling company presented Shakespeare’s ‘Macbeth’, also a difficult assignment.

During the showing of Macbeth I attended the cast worked hard but needed quite a bit of help from

the prompters and experienced some jitters in front of a full house.

Hardly surprising given the depth of the material!

A smaller audience was on hand for the second of four presentations of Othello last Friday.

Just like Macbeth the young Mudds performed in the round, operating on the auditorium floor with a minimum of costumes and props.

I left the theatre very impressed.

This was a modern telling of the tragic story, something we have come to expect as directors and performers drop the old English and bring William Shakespeare’s wonderful work into the mainstream.

One good example is the contemporary film telling of the bard’s popular comedy ‘Much Ado About Nothing.’ Director Joss Whedon’s 2013 movie stars Amy Acker and Alexis Denisof.

Anyone familiar with Othello knows it’s pretty heavy going! Believed to have been written in 1603, ‘The Tragedy of Othello: Moor of Ven-

Famous author Alice Munro has Lanark County connection Lifestyle – Last week I spent an enjoyable afternoon interviewing two sisters who are very proud of a famous cousin of theirs and would like more people to know about her connection to this region.

Eleanor Henderson and Irene Papworth (nee Chamney) are first cousins of Alice Munro who, on Oct. 10, became the first Canadian woman ever to win the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Munro, 82, a native of Wingham, Ontario is just the 13th woman to win the award sponsored by the Swedish society since it was inaugurated 112 years ago. During the awards announcement in Stockholm, Munro was praised as “the master of the contemporary short story.” Her body of fictional work goes back to 1968 and her highly acclaimed first collection of short stories entitled ‘Dance of the Happy Shades.’ She has written many outstanding short story collections since then. Most are set in her native Huron County.

Wingham is 50 kilometres from the Lake Huron town of Goderich. Munro’s strong regional focus is considered one of the strengths of her fiction. She currently lives in Clinton, Ontario not far from her hometown.

Although the Nobel Prize is undoubtedly her greatest honour, the author also captured the 2009 Man Brooker International Prize (from the UK based Man Group) in recognition of her body of work. In Canada Munro is a three-time winner of the Governor General’s Award for fiction. She has also won other awards presented by organizations in Canada, the

United States and France.

In early October she was named as the 2013 recipient of the $25,000 Harbourfest Festival Prize presented by the Toronto International Festival of Authors.

Munro told CBC News that she had always considered winning the Nobel Prize “one of those pipe dreams that might happen but probably wouldn’t.”

Unfortunately the writer’s health has been poor in recent years and media reports say she is unlikely to attend the actual award presentation ceremony scheduled for Stockholm on Dec. 10. The Nobel Prize, one of the most prestigious in

the literary world, carries a cash prize of eight million Swedish kroner, about $1.2 million US. Little wonder her cousins here are so proud of her.

Munro’s accomplishments stand with those of the very best writers in history. She is often called “the English Chekhov.”

Munro’s mother was Anne Clarke Chamney.

She, Henderson and Papworth share a grandfather, the late George Chamney.

Their grandmother Bertha (nee Stanley) was a school teacher. The Chamney girls grew up on the family farm at Scotch Corners on the west side of Mississippi

Lake, 12 km southwest of Carleton Place.

The descendants of Irish immigrants the ladies’ great grandfather Edward secured a land grant in Lanark County. Munro’s great grandparents and later her grandparents farmed for decades.

Edward Chamney married Ann Code which means the Chamneys, Codes and Stanleys are all related.

Among the descendants

are a number of Codes who currently live in Carleton Place and district.

Early life Munro’s mother Anne, who also became a schoolteacher, met and married Robert Eric Laidlaw a fox and mink farmer.

Earlier in the family history, with opportunities to secure land in Eastern Ontario waning, members of the Code family moved to Huron County, settling near Wingham. It was there that another descendant, Alice Munro, grew up and attended school. She published her first short story as a teenager.

Alice went on to study

English and journalism at the University of Western Ontario in nearby London. There she met fellow student James Munro. She left school to marry him. The young couple headed west, first to Vancouver and then, in 1963, to Victoria on Vancouver Island where they opened a book store. Eleanor Henderson notes that the store, which helped revive her cousin’s interest in writing, is still operating.

The Munro’s had four children, one of whom died in infancy. They eventually divorced and Alice moved back to Ontario. She later married Gerald Fremlin, a World War II air force veteran who worked as a geographer and cartographer. Fremlin died in April of this year.

Henderson, who continued the family tradition by becoming a school teacher, married Eldon Henderson who later served as the mayor of Carleton Place in the 1970s. The couple also had four children.

Eleanor has followed her famous cousin’s writing career from afar. Munro did spend some summers at the family farm near Scotch Corners, but Henderson was too young to remember that.

Munro herself does remember however!

She told Henderson’s oldest son Scott, now the vicepresident of communications for Bell Media in Toronto (including CTV television), about meeting his mother when she (Eleanor) was very young.

Scott contacted Munro by

mail when he was 14 to introduce himself. The author is too busy to be in regular contact with her extended family although she has stayed in touch with Henderson’s cousin Muriel in Perth, the daughter of her Uncle Joe Chamney.

Scott Henderson’s letter prompted a Christmas message from Munro.

In the letter to Eleanor she expressed delight at hearing from him.

“I think Scott believes we never met,” she wrote her Carleton Place cousin.

“But of course we did. I remember you when you were about six. You had blonde hair and I think brown eyes, small bones and delicate features.”

Munro’s comments about his mother as a young girl surprised Scott. So much so that he wrote about it in an article he penned about Munro which was published by the Toronto Star in 2001. In the newspaper column he says he was even more surprised to learn that “many of Alice’s characters and settings were often based in reality and, in some instances, my reality too.”

Scott Henderson has since met his second cousin in person. They were photographed together in 2007 at the Giller Awards ceremony in Toronto.

Munro captured the 2004 Giller prize for her book ‘Runaway’ a series of short stories exploring the lives of women their loves, desires and relationships.

This 1965 Ford Falcon has just 13,000 original miles Lifestyle – Ever notice how some stories just seem to jump right off the page? Such is the story that arrived recently from John Ziler, who lives near Ailsa Craig, a small town within easy driving distance of Sarnia,. Ontario: “I bought my 1965 Falcon three years ago. I had tried one out in 1965 but just having my first job, I couldn’t afford the monthly payments so had to settle for a Volkswagen. And now, 44 years later, I purchased this one.

It has no options except an automatic and came with a 170 cubic inch six cylinder motor. When I bought it, it had just over 10,000 miles. It now has 13,000 miles on it.

“It was bought new in 1965 from Eastway Ford in Hamilton and still has the original dealer sticker, owner’s manual, and sales brochure. The man who bought it new in March 1965 worked for Ford in Oakville and helped build the car. He died in December of that year and his wife put it in the garage where it stayed for 40 years.

The cats were getting into the car so she put a rug over the hood. Obviously surface rust developed under the rug but the rest of the car was quite rust free.

“When his wife died, the daughter gave the car to her nephew, who was going to put a V8 in it and race it.

Fortunately, someone told him this would be terrible to do to such an original car. He put a new tank in it, new lines, and new tires. I just replaced the original exhaust pipe and

it still has the original brake shoes.

“When I purchased it, I just wanted to have the front painted and leave the remainder original but there was no guarantee that the paint would match so I had the whole car painted in the original colour. It is a great car to service and drive and a wonderful ‘barn find.’”

It’s interesting to note that John John Ziler’s 1965 Falcon 4-door sedan, still just like new!

Ziler purchased a Volkswagen when he discovered he could not afford a new Falcon when he wanted one prized possessions. in 1965. It was the popularity of “She toured the farm house (then the Volkswagen in the 1950s that From page 23 owned by Wilf and Sandra Cook) and the prompted the Big Three to bring out school house,” Henderson recalls.

For her efforts Henderson received a copy of the book which her oldest sister is currently reading.

Both have read Munro’s books and chuckle when referring to “the sexy bits”.

Henderson admits her cousin’s writing style didn’t appeal to some residents of her hometown (Wingham) when her books first hit the market.

“But now that she’s famous I think the town is very proud to be able to call her one of their own,” she says with a smile.

Road crashes impact entire community theme of day of remembrance Lifestyle – The Ontario Ministry of Transportation is launching a public awareness campaign to coincide with the National Day of Remembrance for Road Crash Victims (NDRRCV) which is taking place Nov. 20. There will be an event held in Ottawa this year to mark this date. The theme for this year is “Road crashes impact an entire community”.

The series of ads and public service announcements concentrate on the four highrisk behaviors that cause the most collisions; distracted, aggressive, impaired driving and seatbelts. The common title for each campaign segment should light up your vehicle’s instrument panel at every start up: “Drive with Caution – Future Ahead”. It’s a reminder that every vehicle collision has a consequence

and it almost always involves changing someone’s future for the worse.

With winter tire season upon us, my email inbox is getting filled up with questions. Here’s a few of the more common ones.

What about 12-month or all-season/winter tires? These were first brought out a few years back by Good Year under the ‘Triple-Tred’ moniker and Good Year remains the main player in this segment.

They carry the mountainsnowflake symbol and are certified winter tires. But at best they are a compromise between the longevity of an all-season (read summer) tire and the grip of a true winter tire. They will last slightly longer on average than a traditional winter tire, but will not get the mileage that a comparable summer tire

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

does. For those snow-birds that drive south for the winter, they can be a convenient alternative to driving down on snows and then switching to summers for the duration of the southern hibernation.

Heavier vehicles seem to have better traction on the roads; do they still need snow tires? This one came from a reader comparing his Mazda Protégé hatchback (which was equipped with snows) to a Ford Windstar van which wore summer boots all year long. While minivans can

have better traction due to their mass and front wheel drive set up, they can still ‘break loose’ on poor road conditions and I can testify from experience that when they start to lose control, it will take a good set of tires and a lot of driving skill (that I didn’t have) and luck (that I did, I’m still here) to avoid hitting the ditch or worse.

This minivan owner stated he simply drove at lower speeds on the highway when conditions were poor. While driving the correct speed for

weather and road conditions is always a great idea, being extra cautious is an admission that summer tires don’t provide the same control as winters. Tires will wear out no matter which type you have on, so putting on proper snows won’t really cost any extra. Go with the right gear for the season and that means winter tires for Canadian winters.

This same reader did send along a helpful tip for finding tire bargains by searching online want ads like kijiji, for example. He correctly pointed out that when many people trade up to a new or newer vehicle, they usually have a set of snow tires (with or without rims) in their garage that

Clients often refer to their Hospice Volunteers as “friends” or “family members”.

A client’s daughter recently sent me a letter.

She wrote, “You actually sent an angel to me who so kindly volunteered to visit my mother, without fail, every Thursday until she passed away in July of this year. The volunteer’s visits to my mother gave me that needed break which I so appreciated. I used that free time to go to Kingston with friends for a movie and dinner or to visit my daughter and her family in Kingston, or simply a day on my own to do just as I pleased.

We are also very pleased to report that all of the animals at the shelter are in excellent health and are only in need of their forever homes.

Young actor offers up memorable performance in Ender’s Game MOVIE: Ender’s Game STARRING: Asa Butterfield, Harrison Ford, Hailee Steinfeld, Viola Davis, Abigail Breslin and Ben Kingsley DIRECTOR: Gavin Hood RATING: PG Arts – Ender Wiggin is one of my favourite fictional characters. He’s a uniquely interesting combination of strength, genius, empathy, ruthlessness, and sadness.

When I saw the first trailer for Ender’s Game I was filled with both excitement and dread. Excitement at the prospect of seeing one of my favourite books on the big screen, and dread at the possibility they’d screw it up. Thankfully they didn’t.

When the aliens attack Earth they are looking to colonize our planet. We only barely manage to fight them off, but the lesson of their attack is not lost. The International Military would spend the next 50 years preparing for the Formics return.

Ever since it was discovered only young minds have the flexibility to process the amount of data required to orchestrate massive space battles, the International Military has been recruiting the brightest of Earth’s children. Ender Wiggin

(Asa Butterfield) is perhaps the brightest tactical mind Colonel Graff (Harrison Ford) has ever seen.

Ender is brought to Battle School where his training begins. He is pushed harder and harder by Colonel Graff, and each time Ender finds a way to win. Soon Ender and his team, Bean (Aramis Knight), Petra (Hailee Steinfeld) and the rest, are promoted to Command School where they’re pushed even harder.

Graff believes Ender is humanity’s only hope to end the Formic threat. Ender himself is caught in an internal struggle between wanting to save humanity, and not wanting to become a heartless killing machine. Ender wins because he knows his enemy. The trouble is when you know your enemy well enough to destroy them,

you know them well enough to love them. This is what tears at Ender’s soul.

There were times during Ender’s Game when I felt they rushed things. I suppose that’s just the difference between books and movies. Books have all the time in the world for developing story, setting and characters. Movies don’t always have that luxury. Despite that however, Ender’s Game gets so much of this story right I was willing to overlook the few flaws. This is an incredible film with wonderful visuals, a remarkable cast, and a story that’s thrilling, inspiring and beautifully sad.

From Aramis Knight as Bean, to Hailee Steinfeld as Petra, to Moises Arias as Bonzo to Abigail Breslin as Valentine Wiggin this cast is perfectly chosen. Viola Davis is brilliant

as Major Gwen Anderson, and I love Ben Kingsley as legendary hero Mazer Rackham. For his part Harrison Ford plays Colonel Graff with such conviction you could almost forgive him for what he does to Ender.

Then there is Ender. Asa Butterfield is a better Ender than I could have hoped for. He portrays all of Ender’s depth right to the very soul of the character.

Good science fiction isn’t about aliens or spaceships, it’s about holding a mirror up to ourselves. Ender’s Game is very good science fiction.

Community – Lanark County Interval House hosted its 25th annual Women’s Fair at the Neelin Street Community Centre in Carleton Place on Nov. 2. Dozens of vendors were available, offering crafts, retail goods and other services. Above, full-time stay at home mom, Chrysanthe Michaelis, was selling her line of homemade recipes in a jar. The goodies ranged from soups and pasta sauces to gingerbread brownies and cookies. Right, the first 50 shoppers to enter the fair were rewarded with goody bags from the vendors. Lizanne Caron, left, and Judy Devlin, right, lined up early to make sure they got their hands on one.

November full of excitement Legion to bring focus on helping homeless veterans at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre series of storytelling for adults begins with A Dubious Blessing: Two Old Women Speak, featuring storyteller Marta Singh. The show is a personalized story built around two folk tales, one from Russia and one from Argentina.

Curtain time is 7:30 p.m.

Tickets for both of the above shows are available at Tickets Please, 39 Foster Street, www. ticketsplease.ca or 613-4856434.

Meanwhile, Film Night International concludes its fall series this month. Nov. 20 offers No, a Chilean film, with English subtitles, about the struggle for the return of democracy in Chile in 1988. It will be shown at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.

And, BarnDoor Productions is auditioning on Nov. 18 for their February production, the racy and shocking comedy You’ve Got Hate Mail. This is a threewoman, two-man show for performers who are willing to be daring and an audience who are willing to be dared. If you think

that’s you, come out at 7 p.m. on Nov. 18. See the audition page at www.barndoorproductions.ca for more details and a link to an extract from the script. A warning: this is definitely an adults-only production.

On a more family-oriented note, make plans to see BarnDoor’s Christmas play, Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some), running Dec. 6 to 15. When three actors just can’t face another performance of A Christmas Carol, they decide to tell every Christmas story ever told, instead. The result is holiday silliness, with everything from Charlie Brown to Gustav, The Green-Nosed Reingoat making appearances (because Rudolph is still in copyright). It will be great Christmas fun.

A busy month at FCT with great entertainment of different kinds and a lot more to come at Perth’s only ground-level, barrier-free theatre. Full details are available at www.barndoorproductions.ca.

towards the goal of ensuring that every Provincial Command establishes a homeless veterans program tailored to meet their unique community needs,” says Gordon Moore, Dominion president of the Royal Canadian Legion.

The program’s mission is to reach out to homeless veterans, or near homeless veterans, by providing immediate financial assistance and support when and where needed. It also connects them with the appropriate social and community services to establish a long-term solution to meet their needs.

While the Legion continues to build on programs in urban centres across the country as the framework for the

Legion’s National Homeless Veterans Program, the next step is bringing together select national service providers and organizations to identify priority areas and gaps in several key areas including causes of homelessness, outreach and communication, services and programs, accessibility and coordination of effort.

Across Canada, Legion Provincial Commands are working closely with Veterans Affairs, shelters and community organizations to get veterans off the street and into transition programs.

Details on the summit will be updated on the Royal Canadian Legion website: www. legion.ca.

Arts – After a great start to the season with BarnDoor Productions’ hilarious The 39 Steps, live theatre is back with the Perth Community Choir’s annual fall production.

Director Kristy Angel brings a strong cast and a powerful orchestra together for the Tony Award-winning musical The Secret Garden.

Running Nov. 7, 8, 9, 14, 15, 16 at 7:30 p.m. and Nov. 10 and 17 at 2:30 p.m., The Secret Garden is based on the novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett. It’s the story of an orphaned girl brought to a loveless house and how she changes everything around her.

Filled with wonderful music and great characters, The Secret Garden musical was written by Marsha Norman and Lucy Siman, winning three Tonys in 1991, including a Best Actress Award for the girl playing the orphan, the youngest ever to win a Tony.

Nov. 23 marks to opening of 2 women productions’ third season at Full Circle Theatre (FCT). The

The summit will be held April 15, 2014 at Legion House in Ottawa.

SANSOME, David – His ship sailed November 11, 2010.

A ship sailed and I stand watching till she fades on the horizon and someone at my side says “She is gone”.

Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large now as when I last saw her.

Her diminished size and total loss from my sight is in me, not in her.

And just at the moment when someone at my side says she is gone there are others who are watching her coming over their horizon and other voices take up a glad shout “There she comes!”

That is what dying is.

A horizon and just the limit of our sight. Lift us up, Oh Lord, that we may see further.

Always in our hearts Sheila, Alan and Meghan

If we could have a lifetime wish, And one dream that could come true, We would pray to God with all our hearts, Just to see and speak to you.

A thousand prayers won’t bring you back, We know because we’ve tried.

And neither will a million tears, We know because we’ve cried.

You’ve left behind our broken hearts, And precious memories too, But we’ve never wanted memories, We only wanted you.

Loved and remembered forever, Buddy, Debbie and Bob, Randy, Austin, Laura, Greg and Kristen, Allan and Pam, Taylor, Joshua and Mathew

She is your first friend and enemy, Nothing will separate you, Not even death.

Shelley Carter-Rose, dean at Algonquin’s Perth campus, will be leaving the community to take a job in Alberta.

Dean of Algonquin College’s Perth campus stepping down

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Shelley Carter-Rose, the dean of Algonquin College’s Perth campus, is stepping down after 15 months on the job.

She made the decision with her husband at the end of the summer, to spend more time with her family, and to take up a new job at Lethbridge College in Alberta.

“When I came here, my family stayed out east and my youngest son was finishing his post-secondary education,” said Carter-Rose during an interview in her office, which she will vacate at the end of day today (Thursday, Nov. 7.) “We said he could stay in the family home,” in Halifax. “It has been a challenge living apart from our family.”

Carter-Rose and her husband knew that they wanted a change in their life and whatever change that was going to take, “it wasn’t going to be in Perth.”

Carter-Rose informed the school’s administration of her decision in mid-September, and “the college has brought in an interim dean,” Dave Donaldson, who takes up his duties on Remembrance Day. “He is experienced,” she said. “He has been here six years.”

She admitted that the news came as somewhat of a shock to her staff.

“People are disappointed,” she said. “They have had a lot of deans here in Perth. People were hoping that I would stay longer. But they understand my family situation. They were respectful of that.”

She will be following her son out west, somewhere her husband always wanted to live. While she heads up the student services department at the Alberta college, her son will be working on the ski hills of Whistler, B.C. See DEAN page P4

what is racing down the road,” said Emil Roy, a 45-year resident of Sunset Boulevard. “I hope that council and the two warring factions can come together and solve this issue.”

Roy also recommended that new signage, with the speed limit clearly marked, be placed along the route, and not just at the top and bottom of the street, as is currently the case.

“Signs might warn them (motorists) that this is still a community safety zone,” said Roy. “It may slow them down.”

Coun. Jim Boldt tried to allay Whyte’s fears.

“We are not picking on any one road,” said Boldt. “I, personally, do not think that this is a vendetta against anyone. It is a safety issue.”

Some residents had raised concerns with Gemmell that bylaw officers could be called if someone is having their grass cut or having renovations done to their home, and work vehicles are parked on the road.

“I would hope that anyone, a neighbour on that street, would not be that vindictive,” said Gemmell.

Coun. Jim Graff also moved to allay Whyte’s fears, stating that there is “no desire to hurt anyone’s feelings,” and noting that his is a growing business in a residential area, but that that brings with it some challenges, like trucks being started See PARKING page P2

News – New parking restrictions will be imposed on Sunset Boulevard and Craig Street, after a battle at council between residents, and councillors themselves, on how to address onstreet parking.

A final vote at Perth town council on Tuesday, Oct. 22, by a margin of five to two, will see to it that there will be: • no parking on Craig Street to the town limits, • restrictions on parking on the north side of Sunset Boulevard from 20 metres east of Mather Street, westerly to the town limits with Tay Valley Township, • restrictions on parking on the south side of Sunset Boulevard from 7 to 9 a.m. and from 3 to 6 p.m., Monday to Friday, • restrictions for commercial vehicles of a certain weight and busses with a capacity of more than 12.

Mayor John Fenik, Deputy Mayor John Gemmell, and councillors Jim Boldt, Judy Brown, and Jim Graff voted in favour of the new parking bylaw, while councillors Ed McPherson and Beth Peterkin voted against it.

Earlier in the council meeting, McPherson and Peterkin had drafted an amendment that would have called for: • the installation of no parking signs adjacent to driveways on Sunset, in accordance with the Highway Traffic Act, • banning the parking of commercial vehicles on Sunset.

The amendment was defeated by a vote of four to three, with McPherson, Peterkin, and Fenik voting in favour of it, and the remaining councillors voting against.

Martin Whyte, owner of Whyte’s Maintenance, in an earlier delegation to council, expressed his frustration that a dispute between neighbours had escalated to such a degree.

“I don’t think it fair (that) you are penalizing all of the residents because I can’t park there,” said Whyte. “The issue is only with one person on the street…Up to now, there has not been an issue, and now, suddenly (there is.)”

Whyte added that banning tractors and other commercial vehicles from parking on the street “is not going to solve the problems on Sunset.”

Another resident also formed a delegation to offer his view on the situation.

“If someone parks at the top of their driveway… neighbours on either side have a field of view of

While John Jackson, president of the CUPE local 2119, was pleased with the poll results, he added the caveat that “I think people will understand that the poll was done before the cutbacks happened.

Our members are loyal, hard-working, and go over and above to provide great care…It is our beds and services that are under attack,” Jackson said.

Jackson admitted that “an A+ rating is a good dedication to the hospital, so why would they (workers) be under attack when they provide this type of service?”

Hospital response During a telephone interview from a conference in Toronto on Nov. 5, Bisonette welcomed the hotline.

“We, as an organization, are always interested in the feedback of our customers,” said Bisonette. “We will be happy to have a look at that study.”

The hospital itself is seeking the stories of patients about their experiences, post-cutbacks, and she reported that “we are not hearing any negative feedback.”

As of Tuesday morning, for example, there were 11 empty beds at the hospital.

Looking ahead, she did not predict that there would be any budget cutbacks in the coming years.

“At this point in my planning, I feel we will be in an excellent position,” she said, though she hastened to add that “you can’t guarantee it,” and that situations

Boldt had also paid a visit to Sunset Boulevard last week and found that Whyte’s Maintenance trucks were a hindrance for him.

“Each and every one of those vehicles (I saw) were Mr. Whyte’s vehicles. I’m not picking on Mr. Whyte,” Boldt said. “(But) there is no way that anyone leaving could exit safely” because of the obstructed line of sight near the old factory, due to three parked trucks.

She also pointed out that patients already have another avenue to air their grievances, or to share their compliments, through the hospital.

“Patients are always welcome to call my office with compliments or complaints,” said Bi-

“We definitely do a report and report back with a solution,” said Bisonette. “Nobody who answers the 1-800 number will have a solution.”

“I don’t have a problem with cars or personal pick-ups (parking on Sunset),” said Coun. Beth Peterkin, but she did have concerns about people parking on a yellow line or too close to people’s driveways. She had driven Sunset that very day and when it came to commercial vehicles, “they do obstruct the sight lines.”

She also passed on a message from an area resident who works in Carleton Place at night and was unable to attend the meeting.

“Why am I paying the price because two guys can’t get along?” the resident asked

Gemmell reiterated that, if there are bylaw concerns, and the bylaw enforcement officers are unable to attend, or are off duty, that the OPP would enforce the bylaw. Gemmell had admitted at an earlier meeting that he had parked his bus on Sunset – now it was time for another area resident, Coun. Ed McPherson, to say his piece.

“I live on the Mather Street speedway,” he said, since he clocks younger drivers doing 60 km/h on the residential street. “I step out in the middle of the road and stare down the kids in their cars.”

He reiterated the observation that while Gore Street East and Sunset Boulevard were both major arterial roads for Perth, there were important differences. When he is leaving Perth town hall on Gore, for example, at busy traffic times, “I can’t turn left. It is too hard. I don’t even bother,” and he turns right instead. However, this is not an option for some residents on Sunset.

“I will not be in favour of this bylaw as it is written,” said McPherson, who pushed for parking signs. “In wintertime, I can’t always see the road, but I can always see signs popping

Heroes inspire international president

By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

News – Being a president of any organization is a big duty, but when it is an international status, there is even more pressure.

But that doesn’t seem to worry Bob Robinson one bit.

The Perth native is this year’s international president for Civitan – only the third Canadian to hold the title – and he’s been jet setting around the globe bringing hope and inspiration with his messages.

One of the duties as the international president of Civitan is coming up with a new logo that will be used to promote the club and its work.

“Hometown Heroes,” he says.

“I had to come up with something that captured the essence of what Civitan does in the community…

But they will continue to keep roots in the Maritimes as well, in her native Prince Edward Island.

“We will go back there (PEI) every summer,” she said. “We are from there and we will retire there.”

She reported that she is excited at the prospect of her new job.

“I love student services,” she said. “I missed it. It’s a support piece that makes students successful.”

There are about 4,500 students at Lethbridge College, which says, on its website, that it is the first public community college in Canada, opened in 1957. Unlike Algonquin’s Perth campus, science, agriculture, and mining are the top fields of study.

While some things remain unfinished from her time at the college, she said she is proud of what she has been able to accomplish.

and when you make someone feel good, put a smile on their face, you’re a hero.”

Those heroes could be anyone, adds Carol Rubino, who is the local past president.

“The ownership of that logo is Bob’s and it’s been really well received,” she said.

When Robinson attends special meetings in the United States and abroad, he takes pins to exchange.

“They’re something we use for installation of officers… they are for special occasions,” he said.

“We’ve even had some fun with them, having officers named after super heroes.”

Robinson said he had a Skype (online video conference) meeting with a new club in Pakistan.

“We are sponsoring this new club in Lahore, Pakistan, which

“Enrollment is still a challenge,” she conceded. “We have to be mindful to get the numbers up,” something that was addressed through the recruiting plan, a marketing strategy, and work with local high schools.

“I wish the numbers would have gone up a bit more,” she added.

Other improvements have been made to the school building itself, from new signage, to new staff, to dust extraction equipment. Overall improvements to the building has cost the college about $1 million.

“That college has invested a lot of money in this campus,” she said. “We need to pay back on that with enrollment…I had my hand out a lot.”

One challenge she expects to brief her interim replacement on is tapping in to the retail and tourism industries, which are huge in Lanark County, and developing programs around those areas.

will charter (this month),” he said. “We provide funds to them; about $350 to buy a banner and bell, and we have a commitment to keep in touch with them for up to two years… just so they are up to date and aware of activities going on.”

community events,” she said. “We have a great sense of community here in Perth and we are visible.”

Tonight, (Nov. 7) there will be a roast for Hugh Colton as he kicks off his Build a Mountain of Food Campaign in Lanark and Leeds and Grenville.

The hall on Highway 43 just outside of town is the location for the Canadian Blood Services donor clinics. The next one is slated for Nov. 15 from 1 to 7 p.m.

On Nov. 24, the club will be open for its annual Christmas craft show.

Christmas dinner for seniors Photo by LAURIE WEIR will be held Dec. 8 and on Dec. Bob Robinson, international Civitan president, and 15, enjoy breakfast with Santa.

CIVITAN IN THE COMMUNITY The Perth Civitan Club is an active one in this community. It also has the honour of being the largest Civitan in the world.

“We are 155 members strong right now,” said Rubino. “That’s the largest in the world at this time.”

Carol Rubino, Perth Civitan’s past president, show off To what do they attribute the success?

The year will close out with the new international logo with the Hometown Hero “We have a great membership their annual New Year’s Eve insignia, created by Robinson as part of his duties as who gets involved with a lot of dance on Dec. 31. the new international president.

“We need to partner with Smiths Falls and Carleton Place,” so that potential students don’t go to Ottawa without knowing that they have a realistic alternative closer to home. Another change she would like to see is the implementation of summer programs.

“Nobody has that mindset yet of summer programming,” she said.

Having lived in Nova Scotia’s capital city, with a population of just over 390,000, according to the 2011 census, moving to much smaller Perth took a bit of an adjustment for her.

“I didn’t mind it, it was okay,” she said. “It’s a small town. It’s a beautiful little town,” one that reminds her of one of her favourite places where she has lived, Sackville, N.B. “I’ll miss it,” she said, especially being able to walk to work.

“I didn’t dislike Perth. For a small town, it has a lot of stuff.”

Algonquin seeks to increase programs, student body at Perth campus

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; More programs could be coming to Algonquin Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Perth campus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would like to increase our programs and our students,â&#x20AC;? said Shelley Carter-Rose, the Perth campusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dean, on Wednesday, Oct. 23. The decision stemmed out of a sector strategic planning session held this past April, and a decision on which type of programs, and how many, will be made in mid to late November. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put this out there now,â&#x20AC;? she said, but did say that one would likely be in the health care sector, as well as â&#x20AC;&#x153;diversifying the trades program.â&#x20AC;?

The Perth campus already has programs like personal support workers (PSW) and masonry and heritage construction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to expand,â&#x20AC;? said CarterRose, beyond the current nine programs.

The Pembroke campus, by comparison, has about 20 programs.

The college will be looking at different criteria to see if the proposed new programs are viable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to look at financing and enrollment,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If there is a market demand and an employment demand, and if there is any competition.â&#x20AC;?

Carter-Rose was speaking at the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s media day on Wednesday, Oct. 23, and her sentiments about employability were echoed by other members of the college administration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We try to give employers what they are looking for,â&#x20AC;? said Monique Cochrane, of the office administration (general) program.

Popular programs With an aging population, programs like PSWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are proving to be popular, with a quite a few job opportunities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; though some take exception to common misconceptions about their field of work.

Earlier this year, Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington MPP Randy Hillier advised a nurse working at the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital, who had had to take a pay cut in order to keep working at the hospital, that if she did not like her current situation, she could find plenty of work as a PSW. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it is offensive for people to say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh, why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you become a PSW,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said Brittany Moodie, a student in the PSW program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been

DONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T DUMP ITâ&#x20AC;Ś BLUE BOX IT!

looking at continuing on my education in nursing. (But) I am very content with being a PSWâ&#x20AC;ŚWe are very privileged to be one-on-one with our patients.â&#x20AC;?

In her program, Moodie and her fellow students are told to â&#x20AC;&#x153;treat your patients like they are your family. We work hard.â&#x20AC;?

Another one of the programs at the college also offers the very real possibility of a job immediately after graduation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but staffers are puzzled at the low sign-up rate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The (masonry) students are getting hired for really good jobs,â&#x20AC;? said Andrew Edmondson, the Perth campusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; marketing officer. But they are having trouble recruiting students into the program, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why.â&#x20AC;?

The average age of a mason in Ontario is 66, one year past the current retirement age, so any young masons, â&#x20AC;&#x153;they are getting snapped up.â&#x20AC;?

Media Day Cars whizz by the campus, day and night, on nearby Craig Street, going to and from Smiths Falls and other destinations, their occupants often unaware of what goes on at the college â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or, their occupants are curious, but never have the time to stop by for a visit, though the college has been a part of Perth for about 40 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not a lot of people know a lot about our campus in the community,â&#x20AC;? said Gerry Salisbury, a professor in the Perth police foundationsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; program, of the need for the media day last month.

Reinvention is as much a part of academia as it is for any other industry, something Cathy James, a Perth Courier columnist, saw for herself with the relaunching of the continuing education program. Several years ago, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it was really, really popular. People would be lining up for registration, it was so

popular.â&#x20AC;?

But then the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s popularity began to wane, before its rebirth in September of 2012, and 500 people signed up for courses like photography, shop, computers, and human resources.

Part of the success of this was that the college brought â&#x20AC;&#x153;experts from the community (in to) share in the classroom,â&#x20AC;? said James. The added benefit of the program, she said, was to â&#x20AC;&#x153;make them (have) a bit more of an advantage in the job market.â&#x20AC;?

Good wood For many of the students who got up to talk, theirs was a return to the classroom after several years, brought about by a change in career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is my passion?â&#x20AC;? asked Anton Graser, aged 50. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love woodworking.â&#x20AC;?

So, he signed up for the heritage carpentry program, which â&#x20AC;&#x153;introduced me to people in the trades. I was pleasantly surprised to see that there was a lot of building restoration ongoing in the Ottawa Valley. What we are learning in the classroom and what we do in the shop and in the yard (are) seamless.â&#x20AC;?

A younger person who also wanted to make a change in his life course, Zach Ginac, chose masonry as his new path. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew nothing about masonry at the start, I was pretty green,â&#x20AC;? said Ginac, who had studied chemical engineering at the University of Ottawa for about five years before deciding that the world of chemicals was not for him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I get to do something with my hands. I love it. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fall asleep at my deskâ&#x20AC;Ś (and) the demand for masons is pretty high. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not a lot of students in my program are from Perth.â&#x20AC;?

Demographics are driving the demand for her industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned quite a bit about baby boomers,â&#x20AC;? who will place the next big rush of demand on her industry. Already, they are learning about the realities of PSW work, like â&#x20AC;&#x153;facilities, not having enough beds, etc.â&#x20AC;? But, on the up side, â&#x20AC;&#x153;there is never not a job posting.

They are starting to welcome PSWs in hospitals again.â&#x20AC;?

Palliative care units and even hospices are other points of call for PSWs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really where the student wants to go,â&#x20AC;? Moodie said.

Like Moodie, Leah May, of the early childhood education (ECE) program was also surprised to find herself here. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I truly never thought I would work with children,â&#x20AC;? May admitted. But, â&#x20AC;&#x153;by the end of summer, I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This is exactly what I want to be.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Fellow ECE student Lorena Burwash already knows what she wants to do with the education she gets at Algonquin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I have my own children, I want to open my own home-based day care,â&#x20AC;? she said.

May commended the Perth campus for having advantages over the busy Woodroffe campus in Ottawa, where she attended classes for one year, in a class of 115. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was a number, not a name,â&#x20AC;? in Ottawa, May said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted more oneon-one time with my professors,â&#x20AC;? which she got in Perth. Also, the program, â&#x20AC;&#x153;introduced us to the work environment a lot earlier.â&#x20AC;?

Ginac did admit that there was a monotonous side to the hands-on experience though. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Practice makes perfect,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to keep laying the same brick over and over and over until you get it right.â&#x20AC;?

Back in the wood shop, the carpentry program attracts people from all over Canada, like Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own John Cody, who came from a family with a long line of carpenters. He called the heritage carpentry program â&#x20AC;&#x153;the best in Canada, North America, sure.â&#x20AC;? He had originally been looking at a college in Nova Scotia, but he is glad he made the move to Perth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think to come here sooner,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are free (here). You can make as many mistakes as you want. There isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the pressure of learning on the job.â&#x20AC;?

Already two months into the course, he likes what he sees, not only of the college, but the town too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You move here, you take the course, and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave here,â&#x20AC;? Cody said.

While Cody liked being here, Moodie, who grew up in the area, couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to leave when she got the chance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to get out of here, leave my parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home,â&#x20AC;? she said of her earlier self. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(But) my friends took the PSW program. She said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Come in and have a look.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

She liked what she saw, especially coming from the teaching staff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are here for nothing more than to make you succeed,â&#x20AC;? Moodie said.

Family & Children’s Services of Lanark County set to distribute snowsuits

By EMILIE MUST

Community - Imagine having to face another cold, Canadian winter without proper outerwear. For children in Lanark County this would be their reality if not for the Family and Children’s Services annual snowsuit drive.

For the past 28 years, the snowsuit drive has given children a chance to

enjoy winter in the warmth of a new or gently-used snowsuit. The cost of a brand new snowsuit can be anywhere from $45 to $60, which can be a struggle for underprivileged families in the area.

Throughout October, request forms were sent out to Lanark County schools looking for children in need of a snowsuit.

“We receive referrals from schools,

outreach programs, the health unit, and Lanark Community Programs in addition to workers here at Family and Children’s Services,” said Jeannette McGeough, the HR assistant for Family and Children Services of Lanark, Leeds, and Grenville.

Forms were due back on Oct. 25 and requests are still coming in after the fact. The snowsuit distribution date

R0012399366_1107

THE TOWNSHIP OF LANARK HIGHLANDS

is Saturday, Nov. 16 at three locations; the Gallipeau Centre in Smiths Falls, the Family and Children’s Services office in Perth, and the Baptist Church in Carleton Place. Only families who have sent in request forms will have snowsuits available for pickup.

Last year Family and Children’s Services handed out 472 snowsuits and winter coats to children in need. So far

this year there are 453 snowsuit requests, but it is expected to reach closer to 500 snowsuits in total.

Snowsuits can be donated at the Family and Children’s Services office at 8 Herriott St. Perth.

The community can become even more involved by helping to sew and mend donated snowsuits to be ready for distribution.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Scorn for lying, thieving politicians

E

ditorial– Get out your magnifying glasses folks, we’re about to whip out the world’s smallest violins.

The first string solo will be for embattled Toronto Mayor Rob Ford who finally, on Tuesday, owned up to his wicked ways, admitting that, yes, he did spark up some crack after all, probably while really drunk.

Ford lied to the people of Toronto, saying, one moment, that he could not comment on a video he hadn’t seen – fair enough – and which might not exist…only to promptly send out his Huey Long-like henchmen to find the same said video.

And, like the high school football player he once was, believes he can simply bulldoze his way through his opposition. It’s almost pathetic and sad but he brought it upon himself. And yet, his support has gone up, 39 to 44 per cent, according to the Toronto Star.

Yes, he has done a lot to stop the gravy train at city hall. He’s an everyman, as though Homer Simpson was elected to the city’s highest office. He may never be charged, though his brother’s bullying words on Tuesday that the Toronto police chief, Bill Blair, should resign, for saying he was “disappointed,” in the mayor’s behaviour on the video, show the mean, ugly, bullying side of the Ford family.

And yet, there is no mechanism for getting rid of the guy. So, it will have to be up to the voters in Toronto, this time next year, to send him packing – should the left get out of its sanctimonious way long enough, and not divide the vote by rallying behind a single, electable candidate, essentially, not screwing it up – or, dare we say it, getting re-elected.

Maybe a municipal version of Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington MPP Randy Hillier’s recall legislation should be enacted, to do a short-run around these types of shenanigans.

Now for violin solo number two for Senator Mike Duffy, sounding like one of those old KTel announcers – “But wait, there’s more!” – in his speech to the senate last month, who threw himself on the mercy of his fellow political bagmen, uh, we mean, honourable senators, saying that he was there against doctors orders, that the ordeal, oh, the strain of it all, was taking its toll. And if he were shown the door, what of his health benefits? (He’s married to a former nurse, by the way, so, no, he won’t be without in-house medical care.) Senator Pamela Wallin also played the ‘I am a cancer survivor’ card.

Stop it you two. Don’t drag heart disease and cancer survivors into this. You knew about your health problems when you decided to allegedly defraud us, by claiming to live somewhere you didn’t, and collecting money for “living” there, and then trying to cover it up afterwards.

There are Canadians who have to decide, every day, “Do I eat today, or do I get my heart medication?”

Where’s their $90,000 from Nigel Wright?

We can be thankful that we are seeing some good political news, in Carleton Place, where council voted 6 to 1 to allow draft budget documents to be made public, like other municipalities. As we saw when access to information laws finally allowed us to see Ford’s drunken St. Patrick’s Day hijinks, a vigilant free press is doing its part to keep them honest.

Acceptable dirt? Really?

pinion - Sometimes I miss being a reporter.

I don’t miss the crazy hours, anxiety over making a mistake and the expectation that we should be everywhere all the time. It wasn’t an easy job then, and the newspaper biz has changed exponentially since I left it more than a decade ago.

What I miss is knowing stuff. I loved that people would tell me things – especially things I wasn’t supposed to know – and trust that I wouldn’t reveal them or their information until it was appropriate to do so. If ever.

One of my favourite beats was politics, so the last few weeks have been thrilling with the Senate Scandal, the Duffy bombshells, the sparring in Question Period – oh boy!

Sad fact: “the news” is my favourite TV show. Lately it’s been popcorn worthy. (I know. Huge geek.)

Just when I thought it couldn’t get any more exciting, the Rob Ford Show exploded back into the headlines. The latest episodes feature the release of the Lisi police documents showing surveillance that included the Toronto mayor. Then Police Chief Bill Blair stated in a press conference that they have the infamous video allegedly showing Rob Ford smoking something with a crack pipe.

This is better than fiction! It comes complete with a conflicted character entrenched in denial. “I have no reason to resign.” Isn’t denial one of the stages in almost every personal crisis?

Anyway, last week proved to be, as one national reporter dubbed it, “Newsmagaddon.”

Since I am self-employed, I generally work alone. Twitter has become my water cooler. The Interwebs was vibrating on Thursday when the Ford stuff blew up.

One of my favourite parts of the whole week was when Robyn Doolittle, one of the Toronto Star reporters who broke the story about the al-

leged video, posted a photo.

She and her colleagues had received much flak for their story after it was published.

Where was this video? Prove it! Is it a smear against the mayor?

STEPHANIE GRAY She posted a photo of the entire Toronto Star newsroom, stock still, watching Chief Blair’s televised press conference, which redeemed them.

In the mid-1990s, when Groom-boy and I were still in the biz and working at The Perth Courier, we were invited to participate in a baseball exchange between Perth and Chateauguay, Que. While there, our hosts took the group on a bus tour into Montreal. As we passed over one of the bridges spanning the St. Lawrence, our guide explained that in Quebec, journalists are held in high regard because of the work they did to expose construction corruption in the province. It was nice to hear and, for me, reinforced why I chose the profession.

As you know, journalists are not always held in high regard. People think all they do is “dig up dirt.” It seems, though, that the dirt really is dirty.

People need to see the dirt so they can make choices. It’s not popular with the people who made the dirt, but it’s still dirt.

Reputable journalists tend to avoid making things up. It gets them sued which, generally speaking, isn’t much fun for them or their bosses.

It also reminds me of when people convicted of a crime would come to the newspaper and say, “It’s gonna kill my grandma if she sees my name in the paper.” Well, maybe you should have thought of that sooner.

Despite all the dirt, a poll on the weekend showed Ford’s approval rating was five per cent higher than before. Really? Where did they do the polling – the city jail?

People, if that kind of dirt is becoming acceptable (even admirable), then we’ve got BIG problems.

To the Editor, Many thanks to Perth for helping St James the Apostle celebrate the recently renovated organ. The event “Pipe Dreams” held in Sunday evening of Nov. 3 was attended by somewhere between 150 to 200 fans of organ music. We actually lost count as the ushers were too busy making extra copies of the bulletin and song sheet.

St James is also grateful to the artists who freely gave of their talent: Val Leavitt, Kevin Long Brad Mills, Deirdre Piper, Ann Savage and Peter Woodwark.

Expressions of gratitude by both the artists and the audience were heard at the end of the evening.

By the performers for the opportunity to hear each other’s style of organ playing. By the audience for hearing music from an instrument played outside its usual Sunday setting.

Foodsmiths of Perth in spotlight Community - Local Perth business owners Don and Claire Smith were presented with the CHFA Spotlight Award – In the Spirit of Giving – Retailer at the Canadian Health Food Association awards banquet held in the Toronto Convention Centre Oct. 5, 2013.

The award is given in recognition of one supplier and retailer member, who through their exceptional generosity demonstrated their commitment to giving back to their community. The CHFA honours individuals and companies who have exhibited outstanding industry service and leadership in the natural and organic product industry at their yearly banquet.

The Smiths, owners of Food-

smiths, eastern Ontario’s largest natural food store located at 106 Wilson St. W. in Perth, were delighted with the unexpected award.

“We were very surprised to receive this award recognizing all the effort and work that ourselves and our staff put into trying to help causes in need in our community. Just to see the commitment that our staff puts into the many small steps that all go towards organizing these efforts is enough gratification.”

The Spotlight Spirit of Giving award, which could be reflected in any of the following areas: local community service, financial donations/sponsorships and involvement in a sustainable local or global philanthropic activity,

was particularly gratifying for the Smiths, given their dedication to a number of charitable initiatives, including the popular BYOB “Bring your own Bag” system that rewards customers when they bring in their own shopping bags with a donation to a local charity, Empty Bowls, an annual community fundraising project, Food for Thought children’s nutrition program, “Build a Mountain of Food” campaign and various other charitable programs.

The Smiths have won several CHFA awards in previous years, including recognition of their environmental stewardship, and Retailer of the Year award.

Submitted by Foodsmiths Don and Claire Smith are pictured with their CHFA Spotlight Award.

Community – Crafters and holiday lovers flocked to the annual Lioness Club Craft Show in Perth to browse items from over 30 vendors.

Rita Doyle, a quilter at heart, had dozens of handsewn items for sale at the show.

Fundraiser boosts Cornerstoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth homelessness efforts Community - More than 90 people who enjoy winning prizes, going to auction sales, eating, dancing, listening to good music, and supporting a worthy cause came together at the Civitan Club of Perth on Oct. 26 for Cornerstone Landingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second annual fundraiser.

Thanks to the generosity of many people and groups in the community, the event drew together those concerned about local youth and wanting to support an organization whose goal is to prevent homelessness while ensuring that youth-at-risk are able to stay in school until they graduate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We always say it takes a village to raise a child who is homeless, and this event clearly showed we are generating that kind of support,â&#x20AC;? said Cornerstone Landing co-chair Terrilee Kelford. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In addition to the Civitan Club putting on a great meal, and fantastic music from

the Tailgate Band, Cornerstone benefitted from the generosity of everyone from the Timber Run Golf Club, Axcell Painting, Doug Carey, and Nevis Estate to Union 613 and Perth Manor Boutique.â&#x20AC;?

Kelford notes that the live auction featuring Jim and Judy Hands raised considerable amounts for items donated from the likes of Best Western Plus Perth, Home Hardware, Emma Lee Fashions, Classic Theatre Festival, Mapleview Golf Course, the Ottawa Senators, Tackaberry Sand & Gravel, Mary Kay, Coutts & Company, Fine Lines Hair Design and Lornaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cut Cut & Curl, The Stone Cellar, T Zone, and St. Ambroise Breweries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also had unique donations like the hot air balloon ride donated

by RE/Max Metro City Realty, a yoga sessions with Nancy Williams, and a financial planning session with the WCPD Foundation. And to top it off, Richard Schooley generously donated back his share of the 50/50

winnings.â&#x20AC;?

Among those cutting a rug on the Civitan dance floor was Perth Mayor John Fenik who, after enjoying the sweet harmonies and musicianship of Tim Loten and Emma Houlihan, boogied to the Tailgate Band and between-set music provided by Jessica Ferguson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was at the Cornerstone Landing dinner/dance with my wife in order to support the amazing work Cornerstone does. It is a great organization that works with young students who find themselves homeless or facing homelessness,â&#x20AC;?

Fenik said. \â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basic needs of shelter and food have to be in place in order for young people to be successful at school. Cornerstone Landing makes sure that happens. And we had such a great time that we are already looking forward to next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dance.â&#x20AC;?

In all, the event raised over $7,000 towards the goal of ending youth homelessness in Lanark

County. The following week, a number of Cornerstone Landing representatives spent three days in Ottawa attending the National Conference to End Homelessness in Canada, a gathering of some 600 front-line workers, academics, and researchers from across the country who came together to discuss strategies and share ideas on ending a social problem that affects over 300,000 people annually, a third of them young people.

Later this month, Cornerstone Landing will launch its local partnership with the national Raising the Roof campaign. Through selling $10 toques, funds will go towards both a national housing strategy as well as supporting local antihomelessness initiatives.

For information on volunteer opportunities, getting a toque, and more, call 613-267-3998 or visit www.cornerstonelanding.com.

Veterans’ Week precedes Remembrance Day services Community - Veterans’ Week occurs each year from Nov. 5 to 11, when hundreds of ceremonies and events will take place across the country.

This year’s commemorative poster has a theme of the “Year of the Korean War veteran”, with photos from the major wars and modern-day missions, spanning periods of armed conflict and peace, layered from background to foreground. Images include a Canadian veteran holding an old Korean War photo.

Everyone is urged to wear a poppy, attend Remembrance Day services, and change their Facebook profile photo to a poppy, and thus recognize the contributions of our veterans, including those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Although our Hall of Remembrance military museum officially closes its doors after Remembrance Day, we are very busy for the next few days conducting tours for elementary school classes from Perth schools. Many exhibits have been improved, along with a new dis-

Branch 244 News play added in honour of the veterans of the War in Afghanistan.

The Canadian Association for Disabled Skiing, National Capital Division, is sponsoring the Annual Winter Sports Clinic for injured soldiers and veterans at Calabogie Peaks, from Feb. 9 to 14, 2014. For more information, go to www.cads-ncd.ca.

Live music with Ruckus, Helium and 3’s a Crowd will be featured at a fundraiser for Stephanie Bertrand on Nov. 17 from 3 to 8 p.m. along with a silent auction, 50/50 draw, and raffles. This all takes place at the Crazy Horse in Kanata Centrum. At the age of 26 Bertrand suffered seizures and strokes, followed by four weeks in a coma, and then almost 3 months of hospitalization. All the money

raised from this Legion supported event will go towards her medical expenses.

Artisan & Direct Sales Fair, Nov. 30, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Proceeds go to Branch 244 Perth Legion. The event could be an ideal resource for Christmas shopping.

Carpet Bowling continues each Wednesday at 12:45 p.m. in the Legion hall, with two games at a cost of $2.

The Legion Hall of Remembrance military museum has undergone several changes recently, including the addition of an exhibit honouring veterans of the War in Afghanistan.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, better known as Mahatma Gandhi, is widely considered to be one of the greatest leaders of all time. He was born to an ordinary family, and as a boy had a determination to excel at everything. After completing law studies in London,

England, he became the most important part of India’s struggle against colonial rule. With a policy of non-violent protest through civil disobedience, he eventually led his country to freedom in 1947.

Helping estate donations give charities, and you, most bang for the buck

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Business – You can’t take it with you.

But dividing up what you leave behind can be more harrowing than you think, especially when you are trying to dispose of assets before you die that will bring maximum benefit to a charity that is close to your heart.

There are tax credits out there for all sorts of things, from art to, believe it or not, donations of ecologically sensitive land.

One Perth environmentalist whom tax lawyer John McClusky heard about, discovered that a patch of environmentally sensitive land was slated for development.

“He did not think that that was the right thing to do,” said McClusky, speaking at the “Leaving a Legacy: How Do You Want to be Remembered?” workshop at the Best Western Plus Hotel and Spa in Perth on Tuesday, Oct. 22. The event was sponsored by the Alzheimer Society of Lanark County. “So, he quietly bought it.”

After a few years, “he gave the land to the municipality and he received a tax credit.”

But don’t expect the government to just cut you a cheque for that priceless Rembrandt you have squirreled away in the attic.

“When you give away an asset, somebody has to value it,” said McClusky, usually an appraiser in that particular industry like, say, art, who can then give it a “fair market value.”

The appraiser will usually prepare a written report about how they came to their conclusions, but McClusky warned that, even at this, “the government can challenge that (report) at any time.”

But, more often than not, the government will take the appraiser’s word.

“They will probably accept a single appraiser, but if it is for a significant amount, they may ask for more (information),” said McClusky. “Let’s make sure that it is on the up and up.”

Another asset that gets donated to charities are stocks, which McClusky says they tend to sell almost “immediately.” Even within the art world, there are exemptions for, say, Canadian or native art, like Inuit art.

“You can make cultural gifts to Canada, or any province or municipality,” said McClusky, but the art work has to be “a significant contribution to Canadian culture,” so Uncle Merle’s whittlin’

might not make the cut, so to speak.

Donations also mean that you can’t donate the painting on your mantle, but hold on to it until you die, all while collecting your tax receipt for the impending donation.

“So long as you have relinquished ownership of it, the charity can issue you a tax receipt,” said McClusky. “It has to be given.”

Tax law and codes can be byzantine and confusing, and it is in this fog that shysters can thrive. McClusky saw this for himself when he a friend of his became a victim of a fraud.

“The accountant he was using said it was perfectly legal (to)…buy art, then give it to the charity, who can then sell it,” said McClusky. “It was initially accepted right away,” but his friend ended up getting stuck with a bill several years later – another reason to hold on to your tax files for at least seven years.

Boldt raises concerns over cargo train lengths running through town

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

With railway management looking for efficiencies, this could mean longer trains with fewer staff, he said, based on conversations he has had with lowerlevel Canadian Pacific staff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only a matter of time before it happens to a town like this,â&#x20AC;? said Boldt, since those trains cutting through town are likely carrying oil and gas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Someone near and dear to me works for CP,â&#x20AC;? and

said that it is not unusual nowadays to see 10,000 foot-long trains on their way to Toronto. Because of these long and winding trains, â&#x20AC;&#x153;there are communities that are cut in half for long periods of time.â&#x20AC;?

Mayor John Fenik thanked Boldt for his concerns, but was quick to point out that â&#x20AC;&#x153;we are a safe community. We have a safe rail line. We have a good safety

mechanism in place. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want people to be afraid.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trying to sow fear,â&#x20AC;? explained Boldt.

Deputy Mayor John Gemmell also told Boldt that he was alive to his concerns, but â&#x20AC;&#x153;our fire department does have an emergency plan in place,â&#x20AC;? to deal with such an emergency, should one ever arise.

R0012269585_0822

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Councillor Jim Boldt doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want Perth to become the next Lac Megantic.

Following the devastating rail disaster which destroyed much of the downtown of the Quebec village, and following another derailment in Alberta last month, Boldt expressed his concerns about

Perth, which sees a busy rail line cut right through the heart of town, through residential neighbourhoods, and past the public high schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In light of the most recent derailment (in Alberta), it concerns me as a resident that trains on our tracks are getting longer and longer and longer,â&#x20AC;? said Boldt during the Perth town council meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 22.

In LCIAA senior football action at the Beckwith field, the Almonte Thunderbolts claimed the championship over the St. John Catholic High School Spartans,

Bolts top Spartans in LCIAA cup action

By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

Sports – Friday’s tornado-like winds played havoc on the St. John Catholic High School football teams as both the junior and senior Spartans dropped their Lanark County championship matches against the Almonte Thunderbolts.

In the 1 p.m. tilt at the Beckwith field, the senior Thunderbolts earned a nailbiter, 33-17, after being tied at 17 late in the fourth quarter.

“The wind severely limited the ability of the senior offence to use its passing attack to dictate the flow of the game,” said Dominic Marando, coach of the junior Spartans and athletic director of the league.

The senior Spartans were down 17-1 at the half, but shot back to tie the game. Almonte then scored two late TDs to take the win.

In the junior match on the Spartans’ gridiron, a muddy field and windy conditions left a lot to be

desired. Two long touchdown runs of more than 60 yards were enough to give the visitors the 21-14 win over the Spartans.

“It was a tough loss,” said Marando. “They lost just one game all season… it was the wrong one to lose.”

Despite the disappointment, Marando was quick to praise the deserving opponents during the trophy presentation.

“We apologize for the muddy field, but it was one of those games that will be remembered for a long time,” he said. “You played well… you deserve the win.”

Marando added that it was a great season for both junior and senior Spartans and the successful football program.

“While it’s never fun to lose in a championship game, the coaches would like to thank the players and their families for the amazing support we’ve received this season,” he said.

Capital Cup Sports - Two local athletes, Joe Trick from St. John Catholic High School and Luke Rawling from Perth and District Collegiate Institute, helped win the National Capital Amateur Football Association ‘A’ Cup Championship for Myers Riders in a game against the Nepean Redskins held at Carleton University on Sunday, Nov. 3. The Riders won 48-7 in the final, after going undefeated the entire season. Rawling has been invited to represent the NCAFA West Division at an all-star game Sunday at Carleton University.

Plenty of scary stuff for kids at Civitan Haunted Houses at Crystal Palace Top left, this watch kept witch, eh, witch kept watch over the graveyard in the less-scary Haunted House for younger children. She figured it was a good way to kill some time on Halloween night at the Crystal Palace.

Bottom left, do you ever get the feeling you are being watched? Like a hero in a British pantomime - “He’s right behind you!” - Michaela Marie Devoy, 4, of Smiths Falls, appears to be screaming at Frankenstein, but, really, she’s stifling a yawn, with her bedtime approaching, though she enjoyed a good fright.

PERTH-UPON TAY (ONTARIO NO. 244) BRANCH THE ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION 26 Beckwith Street East Perth, Ontario K7H 1B5

To the Citizens of the Community of Perth Subject: 2-minute Wave of Silence – 11 November 2013

In recent years, the members of the Royal Canadian Legion have asked towns and cities, schools, businesses and churches, and citizens of Canada to stop for two minutes at 11:00 a.m. and pay special tribute to the more than 130,000 Canadians who have given their lives in war to defend Canada, keeping in mind that our men and women continue to be involved in the pursuit of freedom, not only at home but also in far-flung lands.

Photos by DESMOND DEVOY

The silence begins in Newfoundland and sweeps across our country like a wave, as the clock strikes 11:00 a.m. in each time zone on Remembrance Day. The “Wave of Silence” has received resounding support from Canadians in all parts of Canada. In previous years, trains stopped, factory workers paused and school children participated in record numbers in remembering the heroic sacrifices of men and women who went to war in the 20th century and continue to do so in the 21st century.

We ask for your support for this year’s “2-minute Wave of Silence”. We urge all businesses, establishments, etc. to encourage your staff and clients, the students and neighbours of the Town of Perth to participate and thus sustain the momentum achieved in the observance of Remembrance and in the special tribute paid to the men and women to whom we, as Canadians, owe so much.

Thank you in advance for your support in helping to make the “2-minute Wave of Silence” a continuing tradition of Remembrance in the Community of Perth.

Yours, in comradeship Not self but for others LEST WE FORGET

At right, this witch decided that a black cat would just be lost in the sea of black, so she decided that a creepy white, albino rat would really stand out, and give visitors the willies. Mission accomplished. The Civitan also handed out bags of candy to children going through the two scary streams, and a large line up of kids kept the scare factory humming all evening long.
