More people identifying as Métis or First Nations in census data is a sign of “native pride,” according to Ontario’s former lieutenant governor. James K. Bartleman, who was the Queen’s representative in Ontario from 2002 to 2007, a former diplomat, and a Chippewa, said that “there has been a resurgence in native pride” recently. “That is why the numbers are coming up.” Bartleman was speaking at the monthly Perth Probus Club meeting at the Royal Canadian Legion Wednesday, Nov. 1. That morning, new Statistics Canada data was released, showing that the indigenous population continued to rise. For “years, up until very recently, if their (Métis) skin was white enough, they were identified as white.” One club member asked if more people were identifying as indigenous be-

cause they wanted to take part in what they saw as government benefits for that population. “There are not too many benefits they get,” said Bartleman. “Maybe hunting and fishing.” The Toronto Star reported on Oct. 25 that “Ontario is now home to the largest population of Métis people in Canada, as the booming growth of indigenous peoples in recent decades continues across the country.” More than 1.6 million people identified as First Nations, Métis, and Inuit, See NATIVE page P11

Christmas in Carleton Place House Tour puts magic back into holiday season BY ASHLEY KULP

akulp@metroland.com For several years, Carleton Place residents Christine and Jim Glutek have been lovingly restoring their brown brick Victorian home. On Dec. 2-3, all of their efforts will be revealed during the sixth annual Christmas in Carleton Place House Tour. The home, which the Gluteks have owned for five years, is tucked away in the heart of town and inside, it’s a vintage and shabby chic paradise. Warm white paint coats the walls, with silver, natural and blush accents, while Christine’s talents with her furniture refurbishing business can be found on tables, chairs and hutches. Chandeliers, from which shiny glass ornaments dangle, cast an elegant light in nearly every room of the home, which also includes a newly renovated kitchen with the original servants’ staircase. Foregoing the traditional wallpaper, Christine and Jim opted to adorn the walls with pages of old books to add another eye-pleasing element. Christmas in Carleton Place House Tour organizer Jane Tunks, who has a deep love for the holiday season, has been hoping to secure the Glutek home for the tour for quite some time. “I’ve wanted her to do the tour for a few years,” Tunks noted. “Christine volunteered at my house a few years ago and once I walked into her house, I knew she had to be on it.” And there was no hesitation from Christine, who noted the fall and winter seasons are her favourites. Glittered garlands festooned with antique baubles and ornaments adorn window frames and furniture pieces in the home. “Around the holidays, there’s always such a magical feeling you get when all of the lights and everything is up,” she explained. “It makes me feel like a kid again.” Christmas in Carleton Place House Tour organizer Jane Tunks likens Christine’s style to that of shabby chic designer Rachel Ashwell. “I think she gives Rachel Ashwell a run for her money. I really do,” she said. “She breathes new life into things.” “She’s my inspiration,” Christine said of Ashwell. “I follow a lot of decorating blogs as well. This is my passion.” “It’s an elegant shabby chic and we want to give people an opportunity to see a nice, cozy house,” she added. “That’s why I like going on the tour – to get ideas and see what other people are doing.”

Ashley Kulp/Metroland

Jim and Christine Glutek relax in the sitting room of their Victorian home at 73 Beckwith St. in Carleton Place. Having the vision to see the potential in an imperfect piece of furniture or a forgotten item is one of Christine’s talents. That passion led her to establish Shabby Chick, her painting and refinishing business. She often scours antique sales and auctions to scoop up unique and vintage pieces. “That creativity is amazing; to look at something and see the potential,” remarked Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital Foundation executive director Robyn Arseneau. The house tour has served as a fundraiser for the CPDMH Foundation over the past five years, bringing in $33,968.95, which supports purchasing patient care equipment needed at the hospital. The tour has quickly become the hospital foundation’s signature Christmas event. “This tour has been growing year after year, with the first year’s event netting $3,242.28, growing to $10,968.83 last year,” she stated. “We’re confident that this year will be our biggest year yet!” Arseneau said funds raised from this year’s tour will go towards the hospital’s most pressing need – a $305,000 cardiac monitor. Eight homes (with two bonus locations) of different styles and décor are on offer this year, with a few changes.

Build a Mountain of Food campaign off and running for 2017 season

SMITHS FALLS NISSAN

BY LAURIE WEIR

ljweri@metroland.com

This year’s 11th annual Build a Mountain of Food campaign was off and running over the weekend in Almonte and Carleton Place with 15,592 pounds of food collected and $2,400 in cash donations. “It was a great start to the campaign,” said Hugh Colton, organizer of this Hinton Auto Group food drive. The campaign serves food banks in 11 communities over a period of six Saturdays leading up to Christmas, the busiest time of the year for food banks. Set up at Patrice’s Your Independent Grocer (YIG) in Almonte, and at Mitchell’s YIG, FreshCo, and Giant Tiger in Carleton Place, the campaign benefits the Lanark County Food Bank’s Hunger Stop. The best part about this drive, Colton said, is that every item, can, bottle, or bag of food stays in the community where it’s collected, as does every dollar raised. “We’re going to be taking this Saturday (Nov. 11) off to respect Remembrance Day,” Colton said. “And then we’ll pick up the following Saturday, Nov. 18, in Lanark and in Perth.” From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Colton will be at Brownlee’s Metro, Barnabe’s YIG, Foodsmiths, and Giant Tiger, where donations will support the Perth Good Food Bank, located at The Table Community Food Centre. The campaign will also run in Lanark on Nov.

A new event for Build a Mountain was the Jail and Bail held at Carleton Place’s Walmart and at YIG where cash and food donations totalled nearly 700 pounds and $500 for the cause. “I have a new partner,” Colton said. “Elmo may be joining me for the rest of the campaign, so that will be fun for the kids to see.” Colton thanked the Jessome family from Carleton Place on their initiative to bring Elmo out for the cause. Overall, Colton said he’s looking forward to the rest of the campaign as the donations have started to flood in. He’s also putting finishing touches on some local Santa Claus parades and hopes to take part in two on Dec. 2 – in Perth for 5 p.m. and in Athens for 7 p.m. See BAM PAGE 6

CGDB seeks puppy local puppy raisers Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind is seeking volunteer puppy raisers in Ottawa and eastern Ontario. This is a long-term volunteer commitment of 12 to 18 months. The volunteer raises the puppy in their home, teaching basic obedience and socialization. However, the unique part of this volunteer position is taking the puppy nearly everywhere you go. Support is provided from professional staff from Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind. You’ll need to be able to spend most of the day with the puppy, not leaving it alone for more than a couple of hours at a time. These pups are raised with the intention of being with someone 24/7 as a working guide dog. Pups are placed into homes at approximately eight weeks of age, so you will be housebound for a short time. Once the puppy’s vaccinations are in place, around four months of age, you will be asked to take the puppy anywhere you go and introduce it to as many environments and situations as possible, that it may later encounter as a guide dog. If you work outside of the home, you would start with a 16-week old puppy, so that vaccinations are in place and you can take the puppy to work and public areas immediately. You are expected to take the pup for daily long walks in all weather conditions, so an active lifestyle is preferred. This is a unique volunteer opportunity, and you could help play a role in changing someone’s life. Would you be a suitable candidate for a volunteer position like this? The main thing is that the pup not be left at home alone all day. Current volunteers include stay-at-home par-

Puppy raisers, who are employed full-time and have permission from their employer, can have the puppy in the workplace. It’s a great way for a company to show their philanthropic spirit, and to boost morale, as employees encounter a cute little puppy at work on a daily basis. All food, supplies, and veterinary expenses are provided by the organization. When the dog is ready to enter into formal training at the National Training Centre of Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind, you must be prepared to give up the dog, so that it may continue its journey to work as a guide dog.

The Table hosts second ‘Sleep A Night Under My Roof’ training day Nov. 22 On Nov. 22, the Table Community Food Centre will be hosting a free allday workshop for front line workers and service providers called Sleep A Night Under My Roof. The event takes place from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Perth Lion’s Hall and will include yummy healthy snacks and a delicious luncheon prepared by the Twisted Fork. The Table held a similar event back in May of this year, and received such positive feedback that they decided to run it again, so that those who missed it the first time might have a chance to participate. This time, in addition to service organizations from Lanark County, service providers in Leeds and Grenville and Ottawa, along with local MPs, MPPs and town councils, are invited to participate. This initiative is funded through the Law Foundation of Ontario, and is a Connecting Communities program designed to help raise awareness of, and educate front line workers on tenant and housing rights under the law, by providing participants with firsthand knowledge of the issues community members face related to housing. The training, developed by event co-ordinators Vicki MacMillan and Tracey Parker, is based on the popular Homelessness Maze, an experiential learning activity first created by the Canadian Mental Health Association and further adapted by local Health Units and Algonquin College Perth for use across Ontario. To ensure the relevance and accuracy of the training, the Table is working with local people with lived experience, along with event partners — the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville Legal Clinic, Lanark County Interval House, the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark Health Unit and YAK — to provide input on the scenarios. Participants will also receive a resource booklet that they can take back to their agencies after the workshop, designed as an easy-to-share information source for co-workers and others. The morning portion of the workshop will be devoted to a role-play activity designed to give participants the opportunity to not only learn but experience the housing issues faced by many low-income community members. Participants will each be given a character and background story, and proceed to work their way through “the system” by visiting relevant agencies, set up in kiosks around the room. This will be followed by a whole-group discussion to reflect upon the experience by identifying and exploring the feelings, issues, obstacles and challenges confronted by their character. After lunch, a representative from the legal clinic will provide basic but important information about housing law and the Residential Tenancies Act including such topics as: evictions, maintenance and repairs, harassment and discrimination, rent increases, moving out, tenant belongings and

more, tailored to the issues and challenges identified during the morning activity. The workshop session will end with a debrief about the day, along with feedback about how participants can use the training materials and resource booklet. There will be opportunities for open discussion with legal clinic staff throughout the day, so participants can ask questions and discuss future collaboration and partnership opportunities with the clinic. In addition to workshop partici-

pants, the Table is recruiting relevant agencies to participate as service providers in the role play, which would involve interacting with participants and providing the information and referrals as during a normal day at their agency. Interested service providers would need to bring materials explaining what their service does, along with intake forms and other relevant documents. The Sleep a Night initiative will also bring participants of the first event in May back to a second half-day ses-

sion on Nov. 23, to take place at the Perth library. At this session participants will discuss the successes they have had using the legal information gained through the training, provide a unique opportunity to receive further feedback, input as to the usefulness of the training materials, to raise new issues, and to learn about other local resources. Reconvening the group will also provide an opportunity for participants to network and collaborate in relation to a range of issues includ-

ing housing-related community action initiatives, future training opportunities, and building professional supports. If you are a front line worker and service provider who is interested in attending please register at Eventbrite. https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/ sleep-a-night-under-my-roof-tickets38298405562?aff=es2 Contact the event co-ordinators at housing@thetablecfc.org for further information or questions.

“I’m still trying to work out the logistics of that one, but it’s doable,” he said. “It will be the first time for the Athens parade. I’d like to do them all, but it’s just impossible.” The BAM float will make its way to the Carleton Place parade Nov. 25 at 5 p.m. and on Nov. 27 he be at the CP Holiday Train when it makes its way to Smiths Falls and to Perth that evening. Colton will also make an appearance with the float at the Perth BIA’s Light up the Night at Crystal Palace on Dec. 1.

Bring your family to Crystal Palace at 6 p.m. to enjoy a roaring bonfire, carolling, hot food and at 6:30 p.m., spectacular fireworks behind the Crystal Palace. Immediately after the fireworks the Crystal Palace will be open, so walk inside and see beautiful 40-plus Christmas trees. The Hinton Auto Group Build a Mountain of Food Christmas Parade Float will be on hand that evening. Bring the kids to see this fabulous float decked out in thousands of lights. Don't forget to bring a donation for the food bank. On Dec. 9, Colton will wrap up his parade list with the Smiths Falls Santa Claus parade.

COMMENTARY

Stay safe this hunting season

unting Season is upon us and the Leeds Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) encourages hunters to learn and adhere to the following list of rules when hunting in Leeds County. All hunters must wear solid hunter orange clothing (a minimum of 400 square inches or 2,580 square centimetres above the waist) and a hunter orange head cover during gun seasons for deer, moose and elk. Outside the gun seasons for deer, moose and elk these requirements also apply to bear hunters who are not hunting from a tree stand. Handle firearms with care and attention at all times. Hunters must never shoot unless they are absolutely sure of their target and what lies beyond it. It is illegal to shoot from a vehicle or carry a loaded firearm in or on a vehicle, to discharge a firearm from or across the travelled portion of a right of way for public vehicular traffic. In many parts of Ontario it is also illegal to have a loaded firearm, or discharge a firearm, in any part of the right of way. Firearms must be unloaded and safely secured (in a locked cabinet with a lock on the

trigger) when not being used and ammunition must also be safely secured and stored. Failing to do so is against the law! And above all else, never drink alcohol and hunt. General safety planning * Tell someone where you will be hunting and when you will be returning; * Know the weather conditions in your hunting area and dress accordingly; * In an emergency, stay calm and stay put; * Avoid hypothermia. Know how to treat it if it strikes; * Keep hydrated and well nourished; * Carry a survival kit and a small first aid kit with you at all times; * Know how to build a fire in all weather conditions and carry the supplies to start one; and, * Carry a map and compass or GPS unit and know how to use them. To report unlawful night hunting or any other illegal and unsafe hunting activity, call the MNRF TIPS Line at 1-877-847-7667 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.

‘Waste not, want not’ was the way in Mary’s household T here was no way of getting out of eating a heaping bowl full of porridge for breakfast. Mother made enough to feed half of Renfrew county. And even though it was my least favourite morning food, it was put before me, and I was expected to eat the bowl clean. If not, I would get the usual story of the starving Armenians, which meant I was supposed to be grateful that I at least had something to put in my mouth. Occasionally, and only occasionally, Mother would come home from Briscoe’s General Store with a box of Shredded Wheat. Although I was no more fond of it than I was of porridge, it was the box and the treasures inside that thrilled me to the bone!

65 Lorne Street, P.O. Box 158, Smiths Falls, ON K7A 4T1 613-283-3182 Toll-free 1-800-267-7936 Published weekly by:

The cereal came in an oblong box, and inside were about three layers of shredded wheat "biscuits," divided by cardboard sheets. It was those sheets which caused me to rejoice when Mother found a few extra pennies to add this special cereal to our order. Each sheet had a different picture, usually a country scene, and sometimes an animal looking out around a tree. My sister Audrey and my three brothers thought they were much too old to be bothered with the cards from the Shredded Wheat box, and so I became the sole owner. As soon as the box came in the house, Mother would let me rip it open and remove the cards ... carefully of course, so that the biscuits wouldn’t be broken.

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

I would get my crayons and spend time colouring each card, and once done, they would be added to a growing collection, which I treasured, and kept securely hidden in my washstand drawer. That was because my brother Emerson threatened to fork them into the Findlay Oval when I wasn’t looking. He thought once the cards were coloured, they should be done away with. But I saved each one, and soon had a stack inches thick, held together with

string. I could spend many an hour just sitting quietly with my pack of cards, looking and re-looking at them. Sometimes I would go upstairs when I had nothing else to do, and take the pile of cards out of my washstand and lay them out on the bed. I had so many that they would cover the entire quilt. The cards came with a little hole in one corner, and if you wanted to, you could put in a piece of string through the hole. But I could never figure out what on earth, if anything, this added to the cards. The little loaves of Shredded Wheat weren’t individually wrapped, of course. They just sat one on top of the other inside the box. As well as loving the cards, I also loved it when

the box was empty, and I could lay claim to it as well. It made a perfect bed for the smallest of my dolls, and I once tried to cram my new kitten into one, but she was having none of that. And when it came to eating the Shredded Wheat, like the porridge, it certainly didn’t appeal to me. Mother would pour boiling water on one of the little loaves, drain the bowl, and then add the cream and brown sugar. The rest of the family thought it was a real treat. Of course, Father would still have to have his fried potatoes and salt pork. It didn’t take long for the Shredded Wheat boxes to become battered and so I would have to tear it down into flat pieces. It was then added to the wood box, along the side where Father kept old copies of the

Renfrew Mercury and the Family Herald and Weekly Star. It too would go to help start the Findlay Oval in the morning. Like everything else that came into the house, be it from the general store, or from Renfrew, or from the garden, or the smoke house, nothing was wasted. It gave me great satisfaction to know that one of Father’s favourite sayings “waste not ... want not,” could be even applied to the Shredded Wheat boxes that on rare occasions came into our house.

Labrador land protectors discuss indigenous rights in Perth Nov. 22 As part of a provincewide speaking tour, in \ dividuals representing the Labrador Land Protectors — a group who are trying to stop the threat posed to a number of indigenous nations by a massive hydro project at Muskrat Falls, Labrador — will speak at a free public presentation Wednesday, Nov. 22 at St. Paul’s United Church, 25 Gore Street West, at 7 p.m. Organized by the Ontario Muskrat Solidarity Committee and supported locally by Lanark Neighbours for Truth and Reconciliation, the evening will discuss the issues surrounding the $12.7-billion project, which is backed by over $9 billion in federal loan guarantees even though it has doubled from its original price, and will likely cost even more if completed. A significant concern is whether the dam will hold, given a substantial portion is being built on quick clay (sand subject to liquefaction under pressure), as well as the flooding of sacred territories. In addition, during the fall of 2016, Harvard University produced a report documenting the alarming rates of methylmercury poisoning that could be expected if specific mitigation measures were not undertaken at Muskrat Falls (especially clearance of vegetation, trees and soil in a large area slated for the dam’s reservoir). The issue of mercury poisoning’s severe impact on Indigenous people is well known in Ontario because of the international attention focused on the Grassy Narrows community. For indigenous people and settlers living in Labrador, poisoning of traditional food webs that include seal, fish and other creatures would likely have a devastat-

Great afternoon of nostalgia at Station Theatre It’s happening this weekend on Sunday, Nov. 12 at 2 p.m. The Continentals are back at The Station Theatre for an afternoon of good music, good memories, lots of hand clapping and foot stomping. All proceeds go to The Smiths Falls Food Bank. With just a little bit of pride, Dennis Staples says the band was formed in 1964 - that’s over half a century ago - and is considered “one of the oldest and longest performing bands in the area.” Anyone in that age range, with a little memory nudge, can probably recall the band playing at high schools, colleges, bars, hotels and arenas throughout eastern Ontario. And does anyone remember the dances - jive, swing, twist, and shimmy.

Bets are the music is more familiar than the steps! The Continentals come out for a good time but they also come out to give back to the community. This performance is for the food bank, but they’ve donated their time and talent to many fundraisers. This Sunday three of the original Continentals will play: Paul Hanrahan, Art Lee, and Staples. They’ll be joined by Dave White for a memorable, and memory-full afternoon. Thursday night before the fundraiser, Film Night International presents Frantz at 7 p.m. at the Theatre. After the First World War, a young woman, mourning the death of her fiancé, encounters a mysterious Frenchman laying flowers on her beloved’s grave.

The movie plays with English subtitles. Film Night International's profits, after expenses, are donated to the Perth and Smiths Falls public libraries. Individual tickets may be available at the theatre box office 15 minutes prior to screening time. On Nov. 17 and 18, Wind River is playing at the theatre at 7 p.m. The movie is rated R (strong violence, disturbing images and language). It’s been tagged as a chilling thriller 1-866-384-0012 www.MapleLeafTours.com that follows a rookie FBI agent who hooks up with a local game tracker to investigate the murder of a local girl on a remote Native presents American reservation in the hopes of solving her mysterious death. Tickets are available at the Holly Jolly Art Sale the door, first come, first seated. Fine Art & Gifts Submitted by Smiths Falls Community Theatre

What about my indigenous sisters and brothers who wonder if their children and grandchildren will be born with developmental concerns, and those who wonder if the dam, built on clay and sand, will hold.” Morrissey notes that forcing Inuit and Innu to turn away from eating their traditional foods will not only affect their culture, but also pose the economic challenge of purchasing exorbitantly-priced store-bought foods. “And even if they can, how will this affect their ties to the land? In turn, how will this affect the culture?” The Perth speaking event takes place two days before Prime Minister Trudeau will travel to the province to deliver an apology to Labrador residential school survivors. Some of those survivors are among the three dozen indigenous and non-

indigenous protectors who have been criminally charged for peaceful acts of protest, including one journalist facing contempt of court proceedings for covering the issue (a case which has drawn the attention of Canadian Journalists for Free Expression). Also speaking at the Perth panel

will be Emily Philpott, originally from Newfoundland, who is researching the movement against Muskrat Falls and local perspectives on the environmental, social, cultural, and health and safety impacts the Muskrat Falls project will have for people in Labrador. A local perspective on Indigenous resistance will be presented by Mireille LaPointe, a member of the Ardoch Algonquin First Nation community who sits as Head of Family on the Heads of Family Council. “A historic community, Ardoch has taken uncompromising positions in defending the Land, manoomin [wild rice] and water from extractive interests,” Lapointe says.

sudoku

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

Truth about JFK’s slaying unlikely to be revealed The date Friday, Nov. 22, 1963 is forever etched on my mind. I was an elementary school student in Stittsville when we heard the shocking news that United States’ President John Fitzgerald Kennedy had been shot to death in Dallas, Texas. Kennedy’s handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis the year before had taken him from the Second World War hero (the PT 109 story) to the status of much revered international figure. It didn’t seem possible that someone of his stature could have their life snuffed out — just like that. The events that followed, the lying in state, the slaying of accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald on live television and what, at the time, was the most watched funeral in history have not faded with the passage of time. At least they haven’t left my memory! On Oct. 26, less than a month before the 54th anniversary, JFK’s assassination was back in the news. Most of the remaining files related to Kennedy’s murder were released on the authority of current President Donald Trump. However, at the last minute Trump bowed to pressure from the CIA, FBI and other American agencies who successfully argued that certain Kennedy files should be withheld for further study based on “national security, law enforcement and foreign affairs concerns.” They’ve been given an additional 180 days to review those documents. I come from a family of news addicts. Back in November and December of 1963 my mother collected everything written about the Kennedy assassination. She kept all of the daily newspapers and purchased the many magazines filled with Kennedy coverage. Later I’m sure she was among the first to buy the early books written about the president’s slaying. Among them is a volume entitled The

Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE

Torch Is Passed which is the Associated Press telling of the assassination and its aftermath. Included are Oswald’s slaying and the transition to the presidency of Lyndon Baines Johnson (LBJ). As the oldest child in our family and someone who has an intense interest in this subject, that material was eventually handed down to me. I’ve reread it all and watched every television documentary and film dedicated to the Kennedy assassination. I’ve also read many of the literally hundreds of books written on the subject. At the beginning, like most people, I believed the sequence of events and the roles of the alleged participants, as outlined by virtually every news agency. To me there was no question Oswald was a “lone nut assassin” as he has so often been characterized. It was grief stricken Dallas strip club owner Jack Ruby who, in a fit of revenge-fueled rage, snuffed out the killer’s life just two days later. Today, despite much evidence to the contrary, many still believe the original information about the assassination. On Nov. 29, 1963 LBJ announced the formation of the “President’s Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy.” It is commonly called the ‘Warren Commission,’ named for its chair the late Chief Justice Earl Warren.

Questionable report In September 1964 the Warren Commission issued an 889-page report. Two months later it released 26 volumes of supporting documents including testimony or depositions from 552 witnesses and over 3,000 exhibits. The commission concluded that both Oswald and Ruby acted alone. However, based on everything I have read, watched and heard I’m no longer among those who believe what I call “the sanitized version of events.” The details contained in The Torch Is Passed for example. Conspiracy theories relative to JFK’s slaying are a dime a dozen. Everyone from the Russians, to the Cubans, to organized crime and even jealous husbands and boyfriends (we now know Kennedy was a notorious womanizer) remain suspects. But if anyone cares to delve into the details there is more than enough evidence available to give even the most ardent Warren Report supporter pause. After reading endless books and articles and studying documented testimony, which has rarely been the focus of the mainstream media, I believe it’s clear that Oswald at least did not act alone. Did he even pull the trigger that fateful afternoon in Dallas? There is documented and compelling evidence to the contrary. The Warren Commission had that evidence but failed to include it in their final report. I believe the members began with a conclusion already in mind. Nothing could dissuade them from their version of events despite sworn testimony from credible witnesses which totally debunks their theories. Ruby’s role, as outlined in the report, seems clear enough. But read the actual evidence presented to the commission and you will be left wondering. Yes, he shot Oswald. But there is so much more to Jack Ruby’s story.

All of this and much more is carefully laid out in what I consider to be the best book ever written about the Kennedy assassination. Entitled Accessories After the Fact: The Warren Commission the Authorities and the Report on the JFK Assassination it is a masterful dissection of the Warren Report and totally contradicts the commission’s findings. Authored by the late Sylvia Meagher the volume was first published in 1967 but reprinted many times. It’s easily available to this day. Read it and you’ll see why I long ago changed my mind about the official report on JFK’s murder. Meagher did not depend on speculation, innuendo or wild conspiracy theories. Instead she studied all of the evidence presented to the commission and discovered critical gaps. Testimony and evidence withheld from the public which clearly points away from the lone gunman theory on which the Warren Report is totally dependent. When I finished Meagher’s book I was convinced Oswald was exactly what he told the assembled reporters in the Dallas police lock-up immediately after his arrest. He said he was “a patsy.” The files released late last month were retained under the JFK Records Act, a public law passed by the U.S. Congress and signed into law on Oct. 26, 1992. The act states that all remaining files were to be opened to public scrutiny exactly 25 years later. Files or no files I doubt we’ll ever know what really happened. But to me one thing is certain. The Warren Report isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. I’m frustrated that the truth behind what remains the most shocking event of my lifetime is unlikely to be revealed. Not in 180 days, not ever! If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey. maguire@rogers.com

Former federal Green candidate, Anita Payne, to be provincial candidate in 2018 in Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston BY DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

You saw her on your 2015 federal ballot, now she will be appearing on your 2018 provincial ballot. Tay Valley Township resident Anita Payne will again be flying the Green Party colours as the Ontario wing’s candidate in Lanark-FrontenacKingston for this June’s anticipated provincial election. She was selected at a party meeting at the McMartin House in Perth on Thursday, Oct. 26, beating out, she joked, “none of the above!” during a telephone interview from her home on Friday, Nov. 3. Payne, who was the Green candidate in the 2015 federal election, said that her recent electoral experience will prove to be an asset for the party’s ground game in the newly re-configured riding. “It was really good to get around to all different parts of the riding in the federal campaign,” said Payne. “It’s a huge rural riding. It is hard to get around to all parts of it.” There are no plans for a Green campaign office in the riding for the June vote, and Payne was blunt about her chances here: “This riding is not going to be a key focus for the party,” she said. The priority, Payne said, is on getting Ontario Green leader Mike Schreiner elected in Guelph. He came in third place in 2014, with 19.17 per cent of the vote there, losing to Liberal cabinet minister Liz Sandals. However, she stressed that “we want to run a good campaign” locally.

Anita Payne, left, waves the Canadian flag as she leads her fellow Green Party supporters down Elphin-Maberly Road during the Maberly Fair Parade on Saturday, Aug. 26. Payne will be the Green Party’s candidate in Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston in the June provincial election. Another target riding for the party is Parry Sound-Muskoka, where Green candidate Matt Richter came in third place with 19.34 per cent of the vote in 2014. (The winner was Norm Miller, son of former Ontario premier Frank Miller.) Locally, the Green provincial candidate in 2014 was Cam Mather, who came in fourth place, with 6.48 per cent. The recent shifting of the riding’s boundaries now means that she will be stumping in Mississippi Mills, and

that a part of suburban Kingston has been added to the riding. “People in south Frontenac Township are far more familiar with Kingston than Perth,” she said. Party fortunes In the past decade, not only has the party seen its first MP elected to the House of Commons in Ottawa (party leader Elizabeth May), but has seen provincial members elected in New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and in British Columbia, where they have had their greatest electoral success to

date. It was because of BC Greens, and a confidence-and-supply accord they forged with the BC New Democrats, that Liberal rule was ended in Victoria, with the NDP forming their first west coast government since 2001. Payne said that “it will help,” to be able to point to the B.C. example, of Greens being able to take part in governing a province, to gain the trust of voters here. Under the first-past-the-

Rideau Lakes Artists’ Association member Peggy Orders, left, and president Fred Fowler, pose with a poster of the upcoming Holly Jolly Art Sale, a partial fundraiser for the annual Build-a-Mountain of Food campaign to be held at Algonquin College’s Perth campus on Nov. 18-19. The duo were standing at Coutt’s Coffee in Perth on Nov. 1.

post electoral system, the “pinnacle of achievement” for the Greens was that they could play “kingmakers,” like they are currently doing at the B.C. legislature. While the dust has settled from the B.C. election this past May, Payne is finding it hard to get a read on the upcoming Ontario battle. “I can’t read the picture at all, (of) what will happen in Ontario,” she said. “The Liberals are looking at a tough battle. Premier Wynne is slipping in the polls.” Schreiner visited the area back on Saturday, April 29, for a speech in Almonte, and she hopes that he will be able to visit the area in the springtime, before the election is called. Green proposals, red backlash She commended the Liberals for implementing some Green ideas at Queen’s Park – but criticized the Grits for how they implemented those policies. “Not the way we would have done

Holly Jolly Art Sale returns to Algonquin College in Perth, Nov. 18-19

BY DESMOND DEVOY

This is one sequel that will likely be better than the original. Just as wine gets better with age, so too are organizers hoping that the second annual Holly Jolly Art Sale will be an improvement on last year’s inaugural show at Algonquin College’s Perth campus. The Holly Jolly Art Sale will be held at the college’s student common room at 7 Craig St., from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., on Saturday, Nov. 18, and Sunday, Nov. 19. There is free admission and free parking. “We have a wonderful relationship with them,” said Peggy Orders, of the Rideau Lakes Artists Association (RLAA), during an interview at Coutt’s Coffee. “(It is) so easy to work with them. We bring something creative to their building.” After the artists association consulted with the college, “even if the strike is ongoing, the show can still continue,” said Orders, following a phone call she placed to the campus administration. While there is free admission, cash or food donations to the annual Build-a-Mountain of Food campaign will be accepted on site. Further to this, one-third of the booth fee from each vendor goes to the campaign. Last year, the event raised more than $1,100 for the campaign, and saw “boxes and boxes and boxes of food,” donated. The public face of the campaign, local personality Hugh Colton, will be attending the show during the Saturday hours, since Perth is one of the first stops on the

mountain’s circuit around the county. “The food (collected at the sale) all stays within the town of Perth,” said Orders. However, the cheque will be broken into 11 payments. “We don’t just leave it in one place,” she said, since the RLAA’s “members come from all over.” The show comes during the busy holiday shopping season, and she promised that, “as a gift show, it should be appropriately priced.” To entice you further, there will be apple cider, coffee, and other “goodies,” available. According to RLAA President Fred Fowler, they are already at last year’s level of 30-plus vendors, and that number may grow yet. Fowler also took the opportunity to point out that the Holly Jolly sale was one of two sales that the RLAA holds at the college each year. The other event, “Paint the Summer,” used to be the old “Art in the Barn,” event, held every July, so, the tradition continues, just under a new name — and no longer in a barn. The tradition of artists giving back at the RLAA is not new. Many artworks hang in local doctor’s offices, restaurants, and coffee shops. For example, at Coffee Culture in Smiths Falls, a portion of the sale of artwork sold off of the shop’s walls goes to the owner’s charity of choice, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County — which is located just a few blocks away. Other venues where RLAA members’ work is on display includes the Station Theatre in Smiths Falls, the Elliot Street Clinic in Perth, Fiddleheads pub in Perth, The Cove in Westport, and the headquarters of the Valley Heartland Community Futures Development Corporation in Smiths Falls.

it,” she said of the “backlash” that some Liberal policies, like the Green Energy Act, were implemented. The Green Party, she said, is also concerned about soaring electricity bills, and said that the Greens want to phase out nuclear energy in the province, calling it both costly and unsafe, and to replace it with renewable energy like wind and solar. “Ontario Power Generation proposes to raise the price per kWh to 16.5 cents for nuclear power in order to refurbish the aging plants,” she wrote in a follow-up email. However, Payne admitted that this cannot happen overnight, so the Greens are proposing a 20-year contract to buy cheaper hydro from Quebec, while the green infrastructure is put in place. She also noted that nuclear power plants “can’t be turned off automatically,” and that “power needs to go somewhere,” which is why it is “not sold to the U.S. It’s given to the U.S.,” during off-peak hours.

For our meeting on Nov. 16, 2017, we welcome landscape architect, John Stewart, of Perth’s award-winning Heritage Canada Main Street Program who will discuss the town’s architectural heritage. He will also put forward a case for the designation of Perth as a UNESCO World Heritage Community. Following the War of 1812, with the prevailing fear that the southern neighbour might consider another incursion into the Canadas, it became apparent that additional provisions for the defence of British North America were required. These plans included the building of the Rideau Canal, and the establishment of military settlements away from the St. Lawrence River — the Perth Military Settlement, created in 1816, was the first of such settlements. The new town grew, in part as a result of government sponsored immigration, and by 1823, was the administration centre for Bathurst District. Those beginning years formed the foundation of present day Perth. John Stewart’s presentation will take us through the initial stages of Perth’s growth from the early layout based on a grid to today’s development combined with preservation of the past. In the initial years, the principal public buildings were sited on the highest point of land, spreading out to the islands in the Tay River. Many of these early structures were constructed of either stone or brick façade, following the Georgian or Victorian style. Contributing factors to Perth’s uniqueness include the Tay River, Tay Canal Turning Basin,

The pretty colours fall off the trees, it’s a lot darker, it seems to rain a lot (especially in 2017: Year of the Deluges) and, worst of all, I usually have to put my patio away at some point during the month. I’ve managed to avoid that last thing so far, but it’s coming. Sometimes I get myself all tangled up in the pathetic fallacy of it all and my mood matches the weather. (Pathetic fallacy is right up there with alliteration and assonance as my favourite literary devices. Also hyperbole. Hyperbole is the best times a kabillion.) Anyway, last week there was a heckuvalot of cloudy-rainy-windy darkness, plus I was feeling really gloomy. As a grown-up, I try to tell myself to do the things I know are good for me. Get enough sleep. Eat good food. Exercise. Go outside. Be with people. Stay in the Bubble of Positivity. Sometimes I don’t listen to grownups, though, so I end up learning the same lessons over and over. You may recall me writing about the Bubble of Positivity (BoP) before. It was invented by my friend Cookie. One day, as we were about to embark upon a road trip for work, he announced in the vehicle that we were in the Bubble of Positivity and no more than 10 per cent negativity was allowed. (He swears it wasn’t censorship, but I have sometimes been known to complain about things...) I don’t always find it easy to maintain the Bubble of Positivity. The daily grind can present all kinds of obstacles: Moody kids, people not liking meals you cook, struggles with homework, fear of imminent deafness, a grindy knee that’s not supposed to be grindy anymore, work deadlines, too many chores and not enough help with them, labour strikes making everyone unhappy … I could go on. My bubble was pretty much popped last week, despite the fact none of these issues (even collectively) was particularly earth shattering. (Cookie would also ask: “Did anybody die?” Well, no.) Nevertheless, the big heavy cloud was there and there was gloominess and it was icky. I’m not even going to talk about the dentist appointment I had. Yet. And then a few little things happened that were enough to turn it all around and remind me, as usual, to

do the things I know to do. On Tuesday, a friend took me out for lunch and a nice long chat. Good food and long chats definitely contribute favourably to the BoP. On Wednesday, I went to karate. Karate always fixes things (except, perhaps, appendages, but we won’t dwell upon that). I never regret going to karate. It offers exercise, focus and, especially, great people. It’s the Mothership of the BoP. (Coincidentally, it was Cookie who encouraged me to join. Perhaps he’s part of a Cult of Positivity.) The next day featured more interactions with actual people. I sometimes forget how important that is – I fly solo a lot with my various jobs and have to listen to myself too much. It’s good to be with people – especially ones who make you laugh. One of them fed me tea. Tea is also good for the BoP. It’s also good to bake. Baking makes me happy, and giving it away to people is even better. So, I came into work on Friday armed with a couple of containers of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies (they’re healthy – oatmeal is breakfast food and chocolate is a vegetable) and they were devoured with smiles. I’ve learned that cookies are an important part of maintaining the BoP (although not necessarily the waistline). Also fudge. And muffins, especially mini muffins with cinnamon sugar. When I returned to my office, I found some cookie monsters had built a giant inukshuk made of boxes of toner cartridges on a shelf over my desk … because stuff like that makes me laugh. Having a little fun is a key factor with the BoP. Sometimes the smallest things are enough to make a difference for someone. I was reminded this week how important it is to tell people when they are appreciated. Small acts of kindness can go a long way. Words are very powerful – use them for good things as often as you can. (Always is best.) Go forth and be kind, people, especially in these dark days. You might want to bring cookies to share.

The Mammy’s #MeToo moments

y mother isn’t here to write this column – so I’ll do it for her. I’m writing this on Monday, Nov. 6, the third anniversary of her death. My sister Dympna wrote on Facebook this morning that she thought that dealing with our mother’s death would get easier with time – it has not. If my mother were alive today, she’d have something to say about the Harvey Weinstein scandal engulfing Hollywood. She always had something to say. Something witty. Something withering in its scorn. Something smart. She might not quite have gotten the whole hashtag idea, nor would she have liked Twitter – nothing against technology, but there was no way anyone was going to restrict her to just 140 characters! The Weinstein scandal has spread – as of this writing – to several other prominent Hollywood figures, like

DESMOND DEVOY Des Says Kevin Spacey and Dustin Hoffman. But this is nothing new for my mother, sadly. One of her first jobs in Ontario in the early 1970s was working at the Brampton Golf Club as a waitress. She would serve Premier Bill Davis, and gently chide him for whatever had caught his government’s interest at Queen’s Park that week. They enjoyed a good banter. Davis, she said, treated her with respect. Which was more than could be said for many of the other men who teed off there, or worked with her. One day, she was making her way to the dining room, holding a tray laden with hot food and coffee. A

man approached her and grabbed one of her breasts. Her response? She upended the entire tray on his head, hot liquid and all. He got the message, in no uncertain terms. But my mother had experienced this before. In August of 1965, the science fiction movie Dr. Who & The Daleks premiered. Shortly after its release, my grandmother set my mother up on a date with a young man. My guess, if the chronology is correct, is that she wanted to dissuade her from dating that young trainee mechanic from the central city (my dad) so, she was trying to show her other, supposedly better options. While the film was the biggest domestic moneymaker on British screens that year, my mother hated the movie. (Knowing this, my father made sure to take her to better movies, like

Offer your word of thanks on Remembrance Day If you’re looking for details for this Saturday’s Re m e m b r a n c e Day, then here it is: The Perth-Upon-Tay Branch 244 Royal Canadian Legion in Perth will host the Remembrance Day march. Starting at the Legion on Beckwith Street at 10:45 a.m., they’ll walk their way over to the cenotaph located at the GWM Site of the Perth Hospital for an 11 a.m. arrival. The public ceremony at the cenotaph will follow and the marchers head back to the legion. One of my best memories on Remembrance Day was sitting down with Joe Publow at the legion. Over a pint, the veteran talked to me about his experiences and what stayed with him over the years. It’s a day of reflection and gratitude to those who serve, and if you have the chance to do so, offer a veteran your words of thanks. And, who knows, maybe you’ll end up sharing stories over a pint. Fiddler on the Roof this weekend The Perth Community Choir is doing it again – they’re hosting their annual show and this year’s selection is Fiddler on the Roof. If you’re old enough, you’d remember Brent McLaren hitting the stage at Tevye back when PCC first did it in 1989. I remember watching him come out on stage with his strong voice and being drawn into the theatrics. This year’s show will no doubt also delight, and it’s only running for one weekend. You can grab your tickets at ticketsplease.ca. Kudos to the Civitan Club Last month, the Perth and District Civitan Club announced it wouldn’t

be hosting its annual Halloween event at the Crystal Palace. A long-time tradition, the Halloween event has been a staple CATHY JAMES in many families’ traditions. If you’ve ever noticed, they’d start setting it up days in advance and it took a number of volunteers to coordinate and deliver on its promise to delight (and possibly scare) children and adults alike. Rather than letting it silently go off into the Halloween night, it’s important to pay tribute to the Civitan Club for its dedication to providing so many memories and traditions for our area’s families. Creating Sunday afternoon traditions Each Sunday after our daughter’s nap, I pack up my two kids and we rush over to the Perth library for a quick play in the children’s area before it closes at 3 p.m. While it’s a quick half-hour long visit, I love every moment of it. Even if I’m obsessively hushing. The kids have begun to appreciate making their own book selections before going off to play. While they then spend time throwing as many pillows off the ‘cliff’ and tossing beanbags around the rug, I quietly make my way over to the nonfiction section to discover new reads (Stephen King’s, On Writing, is currently on my nightstand). It’s become a Sunday tradition that I have fully embraced and hope we continue to do for some time. What are your Sunday afternoon traditions? Do you have a Private I story idea for me?

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

I recently read in The Perth Courier about the Perth town council debating a possible bylaw regarding dogs urinating down town. During the 14 years I have lived in Perth it seems like the whole purpose of the council is to make the town a family-friendly community. Talking about basically prohibiting

people from walking their dogs in certain areas of the town is divisive. How about being more inclusive instead? Almost every second household in my subdivision has a dog. It would be nice to see Perth being more progressive in attracting families. We have beautiful treed areas on the edge of town. Why not build something like

in the 2016 census. That’s a jump of more than 42 per cent from 2006. They now represent nearly five per cent of the Canadian population. Along with a high birth rate among indigenous peoples, the “agency also points to an increasing tendency among census respondents to claim their indigenous heritage as a contributor to this growth,” said the Star story. The Ontario Métis population has jumped more than 64 per cent since 2006. Bartleman was also asked about the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, which appears to be in some difficulty. “I have some ideas,” Bartleman said, of how the process could be put back on track. “(But) I would not say I have any prescriptions. It is a very complicated matter.” He stressed that he sees himself as having served his time in public life, and that now “consciousness raising, that’s my task.” But he did point out that, with some indigenous communities not having access to jobs or even clean drinking water, “those issues are going to have to be addressed.” During the first 200 years of co-existence between First Nations people and European settlers, “they were partners, up (to the) War of 1812. After that, they (First Nations) were a nuisance. They (Europeans) wanted to get rid of this vermin.” They went from being “allies to being subhumans,” with Sir John A. Macdonald’s government using “starvation out west” to clear land for the railway lines. But Bartleman said that “familiarity breeds contempt,” which is why the problem of racism with the First Nations people is more of a problem, as he sees it, out west, than in places like Ontario, Quebec, and the Atlantic Provinces, where “racism is not at the same level” as it is in places like the Prairies. Missing women For Bartleman, the MMIWG story has a personal side, in that he wonders what would have become of his mother, had she not had the fortune to meet his father at just the right time — as she stood on an Orillia street corner as a 14-year-old Chippewa girl. His father had little more than a Grade 4 education, and so he “rode the rails” looking for work, because there was “not enough food to feed him back in Orillia.” He worked in lumber camps, or would go door-todoor “seeking a sandwich in exchange for (chopping) a cord of wood.” During the Great Depression, the Canadian government was “afraid of Communist insurrection.” So, many young men were hired up, for $5 a month, to go to work camps in Algonquin Park, and get them far from Communist infiltration. However, embedded among the men were “Communist agitators,” which was

how Bartleman’s father ended up selling copies of a Communist newspaper on the streets of Orillia. His grand plan was to “have (the) people of Orillia march down to take over Toronto,” before spreading the workers’ revolution to New York City and beyond. At the same time as Bartleman’s father was growing up, his mother also had a hard time of it. His grandmother and great-grandmother would beat his mother “all the time, for the slightest thing.” His mother’s siblings were adopted out, but, for whatever reason, she was not, which is how she found herself, at age 14, begging on an Orillia street corner, when a newspaper seller happened by. “It was love at first sight,” he said. “(But) my mother always wondered what her life would have been like had she not met my dad.” Even with their mutual affection, the Bartleman union was not without its challenges. “She (his mother) was mentally ill all her life, with depression,” he said. “We would be frantic,” Bartleman said of his siblings, when his mother would announce that “she was going to kill herself ” in the woods. But she always came back, because “the desire to be a mother (was stronger than) the desire to kill herself.” His mother and father made ends meet, however they could, selling cord wood, or selling blueberries on the side of the road to Gravenhurst. His father would catch fish in Lake Muskoka. In time, his older brother was born near the shores of Lake Muskoka, on the road to Bala, Ont. His brother would be rocked to sleep under the bow of the canoe paddled by his father. “They were not accepted. Mix marriages were not the norm,” said Bartleman. “They went from place to place.” In later years, his father worked in the mines, or would shovel gravel for 50 cents an hour, before the family settled in Port Carling. In an interesting twist, the island park located near the locks in Port Carling is now named after him, land that was at one time indigenous territory. “I’m thinking of setting up a little kiosk to ask for permits to enter the park,” he said cheekily. Childhood poverty Because his parents’ union was a mixed marriage, they could not even live at the “Indian camp,” so they had to find shelter near the town dump, living, at first, in an army tent during the summer months. “It was the most marvellous summer we’d had all our lives,” said Bartleman. For two young boys, the dump was a treasure trove, with wealthy tourists disposing of good food and ample comic books. It was not unusual to see Bartleman and his brother running after the dump trucks as they arrived with their cargo. His mother taught the boys to read using those

The family rented a summer cottage in winter, “really cheap,” he said. Snow would get in through the cracks in walls, and the family would all crawl into the one bed to keep warm. “There would be frost on top of the blankets, in the morning,” Bartleman recalled. At school, things were just as difficult for the Bartleman kids, where they were called “dirty half breeds.” To escape from this, “I disappeared into the world of imagination,” he said, with books helping him through

a life of poverty and depression. “I just read everything.” For a while, “my dad couldn’t find work,” but he told his children: “Work hard and when you get drunk, always get up to work in the morning. We were never on welfare, no matter how hungry we were.” And when there was food to eat, it was not always top cuisine. “We ate rolled oats a lot” for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. “We were well nourished, but it was hard.” Bartleman saw for himself just how hard “being poor” could be, even for

children. The family had a dog, which Bartleman adored. But the family could not afford a dog tag for the animal, and a bureaucrat informed his mother that either the dog got a tag, or they would take her house away. Later that day, Bartleman came home from school, and began looking for his dog. He searched, and eventually found his dog’s body down by the river. “My mother had drowned him,” he said.

She just could not afford the tag. “My mother fell to pieces.” “Society could be so cruel,” he said. However, his mother could also be crafty, and was able to wrangle a job for her husband as an assistant lockmaster, through the good graces of the local MPP. Back in those days, such assignments were patronage positions, and “a good Conservative” would be nominated for the job in that area. However, “they didn’t know he (my father) was a lapsed Communist,” Bartleman said with a laugh. Needless to say, “we moved up in the world.” Bartleman’s father was all right saying goodbye to his old political allegiances: “What’ve the Communists ever done for me,” his father joked. As he got older, Bartleman began working, and got a job with a rich American businessman. One day, the wealthy man told him: “I would like to send you off to get an education.” This was done, in part, because of what his maternal grandfather had done for the American, having served as his guide in the Canadian woods. Bartleman would go on to the University of Western Ontario, where his life would take him into the foreign service, serving at Canadian missions in Cuba, the Congo, NATO, Bangladesh, South Africa, before returning to Canada. Back home, however, in a poetic turn of events, his mother ended up in a care facility during the final months of her life. The facility was staffed mostly by First Nations people from nearby Rama, Ont., and they had all learned Chippewa. “My mother was able to speak her first language during her last months on earth,” she said. Mental illness Bartleman returned to Ottawa to work at the Privy Council office during the time of Jean Chrétien. While he said he liked working for the prime minister, “I myself was catching the illness of my mother,” suffering from “a big depression.” “I loved my job, even though it was killing me,” he added. He has since realized that anti-malaria medication he was taking when he attended a conference in Africa may have kick-started his bout of depression. He was given “a nice, quiet post” in South Africa, but this turned out to be a bad move. “I was attacked in my hotel room,” said Bartleman. His attacker “pounded me into the ground and tied me up. He used my tie to tie me up. I couldn’t breathe. I was dying. I began to beg for my life.” He admits that he was “absolutely suicidal after that,” but took up writing as a form of catharsis. In time, “I emerged” from this dark time, and he was appointed to the lieutenant governor’s office at Queen’s Park in 2002. It was during one of his trips north, to visit a fly-in First Nations community, that he realized the depth of suicide and depression in such communities. As the Queen’s representative, he had access to a twin-engine turbo prop plane, and he visited several fly-in communities. But during one of his first visits, his plane had to circle around the village, as another plane took off from the air strip. That plane was carrying the body of a 13-year-old girl who had killed herself. “The children had no hope,” said Bartleman. “I went to other communities. It was always the same. The rest of Canada did not want them.” Because of the residential schools and the Sixties Scoop, when First Nations children were

James Bartleman adopted out, often to white families, “the (First Nations) family structure had collapsed.” And by adopting the children out, Bartleman felt that the federal government “wanted to turn them into brown-skinned white people.” Because of the abuse doled out at the residential schools, once students aged out and started families of their own, “parents would treat the kids the way they had been treated (in the schools), beaten, raped, starved.” The legacy lives on today, where only about two per cent of children living in these fly-in communities continue on with their education past Grade 10. And those who do continue on, have to go to larger communities, like Thunder Bay, which has an “anti-native environment,” he charged. Several indigenous young people have drowned in mysterious circumstances in the northwestern Ontario city, and Bartleman charged that police did not properly investigate the deaths. Back on the reservations, many families do not want their children leaving for school because of this. “The suicides continue. It’s like a fever,” he said. About five years ago, to cite just one of many examples, Bartleman pointed to Moose Factory, where 10 young people killed themselves in a “suicide epidemic.” “Why are these kids killing themselves?” wondered Bartleman aloud. “Why does the outside world not seem to care?” Knowledge is power Knowing the refuge he found in books and writing, as lieutenant governor he helped collect more than two million books, many of which were dropped off at OPP detachments across the province. The military would parachute the books into some fly-in communities, and libraries were established in many communities where reading resources were few. He helped set up summer reading camps through Frontier College. And on Dec. 15 will be handing out the latest in a series of writing awards. “They’re the resilient ones,” Bartleman said of the new generation of First Nations young people. When it comes to the writing samples he sees, “these kids let it all hang out. These kids who win, they are all heroes in their communities.” Bartleman has written eight books — four non-fiction, four fiction. He said for a non-native reader, “Reading novels by native authors” on Aboriginal issues like residential schools, is how “you really learn more.” By his observation than from a non-fiction publication. In fact, he took great pride that one of his books, As Long As the Rivers Flow, has replaced Shakespeare on the Grade 11 reading curriculum in Essex County. He hastened to add that “16th century England is wonderful,” but he is happy that students are learning more about indigenous authors and stories from their own country.

Four dancers from Lanark County will be performing in the Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s production of The Nutcracker next month. Adeline Barry-Corneau, Charlotte Stewart, Brooke Tosh and Claire Trickey are longtime students of the Rosemary Breman School of Dance in Carleton Place. With a total of seven performances, The Nutcracker will take over the National Arts Centre’s (NAC) Southam Hall stage on Dec. 6, Dec. 7 and Dec. 8 at 7:30 p.m. as well as Dec. 9 and Dec. 10 at 1:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s timeless holiday classic is arguably the most famous ballet ever composed, and it is a festive treat for the whole family. For more or less three decades, Rosemary Breman has seen a mass of her dancers perform yearly in The Nutcracker. “It has become a tradition,” she told the Canadian Gazette on Oct. 26. It is also a tradition for Barry-Corneau, Stewart, Tosh and Trickey to perform in the ballet at the NAC, either with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet or Alberta Ballet Company. The girls, aged nine to 12, tried out for the show back in September. “Only four auditioned because there was a height restriction this year,” Breman said. It is a huge achievement to be in The Nutcracker, looking good on any dancer’s performance resumé. Confidence is also boosted, especially dancing in front of so many people. Southam Hall holds just over 2,300 people. In addition to dazzling costumes and outstanding sets, The Nutcracker boasts a cast of frolicking polar bears, majestic Mounties, angels, palace pages, party girls and, new this season, frisky holiday reindeer — to name a few. Dancers In addition to ballet, the girls study a number of other dance styles, including highland, jazz, modern, acro, tap and hip-hop. Typically, they are at the Breman’s studio multiple days a week. Trickey performs next month, her third time in The Nutcracker, as a polar bear. It is a role she played her first year in the production. “I was a mouse in year two,” she noted. “I am always an animal.” The 10-year-old from Carleton Place thought she might not be in The Nutcracker this year. On the day she was to audition, “we got to Stittsville and realized I did not have my ballet shoes.” “My mom forgot them and we had to turn around,” Trickey explained. “However, we made it on time … (I) feel happy and excited to be in the show.” For the previous seven years, Trickey has studied under Breman. Her favourite style is jazz. She attends the local St. Mary Catholic

School. In addition to her family, “some of my teachers are coming to the show,” Trickey said. Stewart, 12, of Lanark, has been in The Nutcracker twice before, portraying a mouse and a polar bear. This year, she is an angel. “I am really excited to perform,” Stewart told this newspaper. “It is quite an accomplishment.” In August, the Grade 7 student at St. John Catholic School in Perth was competing in three highland competitions in Scotland: Bute Highland Games (fourth runner-up), Commonwealth Championships (fourth runner-up) and World Championships (seventh overall). “Highland is hard work and she loves to be challenged and pushed,” Breman said of her seven-year student. Nine-year-old Tosh of Beckwith is a party girl in this year’s production. In 2015, she danced as a mouse. “I was really excited when I found out I would be in The Nutcracker again,” she said, and “my family is also very happy.” Tosh has been a student at Breman’s studio since age three, and she has no plans to stop dancing. Right now, Tosh is a Grade 4 student at St. Mary Catholic School. Barry-Corneau, 11, of Beckwith graces the Southam Hall stage as a polar bear in December. It will be her third time in The Nutcracker. “I was happy when I heard the news I made it,” she said. “It is always a great feeling to be out on stage.” The youngster added: “It is nice I performed as a polar bear my first year … I know the routine. I was a party girl my second time.” Barry-Corneau, who attends Grade 7 at École secondaire publique De La Salle in Ottawa, has been with Breman’s studio for seven years. Her favourite dance style is highland. She plans on dancing professionally as a career. The four dancers have their first practice for The Nutcracker in Ottawa this month. For nearly 50 years, the Royal Winnipeg Ballet has provided excellence in dance education — inspiring young artists and supporting them in the pursuit of their goals. The school is located in downtown Winnipeg, and it is home to 1,500 dancers who make up the professional and recreational divisions of the school. Tickets to The Nutcracker are now available by way of the NAC box office at 613-947-7000 (ext. 620) or online at www.ticketmaster.ca. The NAC is located at 1 Elgin St. in Ottawa. Breman enjoyed a very successful competitive career in highland dance, having placed in the British, North American and World Championships. Subsequently, she opened the Rosemary Breman School of Dance — in operation for 35 years.

Storyteller Mary Cook launches new book – her 12th BY TARA GESNER

tgesner@metroland.com

An admired storyteller and author from Carleton Place recently launched her latest book, The Best Job in the World. Mary Cook’s 12th work is a collection of her reflections – on topics ranging from Valley People to Remembering When and Modern Life to Home, Sweet Home. “The book has nothing to do with the 1930s,” Cook told the Canadian Gazette on Oct. 25. “It is a deviation from what I usually write.” For many years, Cook authored a column for eight newspapers serving eastern Ontario. It was an opinion column. “I took people and companies to task, and I was always writing jokes about my husband ... it was all done in a light vein,” she said. One-hundred-and-ninety-nine of these columns are in Cook’s new book. “I had no intention of doing this book,” Cook revealed. “In fact, I was very much against it.” She thought, “Who cares … nobody gives a hoot.” Burnstown Publishing House convinced the storyteller to move forward with the project, and about nine months ago a company representative came to Cook’s home with a memory stick and retrieved the columns from her computer – all 836 stories. “I could not believe I had that many, and I certainly was not going to go through them all,” Cook stated. “I know nothing about the computer, even though I am on it each day.” Perth editor Susan Code was brought on to go through the columns and pick the ones for the book. Cook was “absolutely delighted with the choices.” The Best Job in the World was completed mid-October. It can be purchased online at www.burnstownpublishing.com, at Mill Street Books in Almonte, and “all local book stores in eastern Ontario,” Cook said. The book costs $25. Cook was born in Ottawa and raised in Renfrew, and just in time for high school her family moved to Carleton Place. “Writing for me started in high school (Carleton Place High School), and I did my first radio broadcast in Grade 13,” Cook said. “It was with CFRA, and it was from the Almonte Fair.” “That would have been in the late 1940s, and I just never looked back,” she added. “I had my own radio show in Sarnia and then went to CBC in Windsor.” Owing to her 48-year career at CBC (Windsor, Toronto and Ottawa), Cook earned seven ACTRA awards for excellence in broadcast journalism. They hang on the wall in her home office. “When I say I won seven ACTRA awards, the people who told me their stories ... they were the winners of the ACTRA awards,” Cook stressed. “All I did was put the microphone in front of them and put their stories on the radio.” Cook is a regular contributor to major publications across the country, and her weekly articles in the Metroland Media newspapers continue to resonate with readers. Moreover, she is the author of 11 books, including Another Place at the Table, A Bubble Off Plumb, Christmas with Mary Cook, This Then Was Home and Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire!

Carleton Place storyteller Mary Cook’s twelfth work, “The Best Job in the World,” is a collection of her reflections – on topics ranging from Valley People to Remembering When and Modern Life to Home, Sweet Home. The book is now on sale. “I am working on my 13th book, and I already have a title,” she said. For Every Leaf that Falls is the story of Cook’s family moving off their farm in Renfrew and into Carleton Place. It is the story of her mother, Mable Haneman, who could not wait to leave the farm. “She became a very successful businesswoman in Carleton Place, and we are pretty sure she opened the first private nursing home in Canada,” Cook said. Cook has received numerous citations throughout the years, including certificates from former Ontario premiers Bill Davis and Bob Rae, and former prime minister Jean Chrétien. The Town of Renfrew recognized her, and she received the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal. Cook owns the “Queen of Carleton Place” title, and on Sept. 28, during this year’s Senior of the Year banquet presented by Waterside Retirement Community in partnership with the town, Cook received the inaugural Outstanding Service Award for her 62 years with the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire (IODE) Captain Hooper chapter. “In my bedroom I have three medals on ribbons, and I have absolutely no idea what they are for,” Cook admitted. “It does not mean they are less meaningful … you get to a point where you forget. “My rec room is full of more awards,” she added, and “my husband (Wally) has blown up and framed all of my book covers, putting them up on the walls.” Outside of writing, Cook has had “such a life … a wonderful ride.” “I was the lay observer for the Ontario Veterinarians Association for three and a half years (1976 to 1978) in Guelph,” she said, and “I was a head fashion consultant for Saks Fifth Avenue (Regency Room) before I went to CBC.” From 1958 to 1995, Cook and her husband owned Cook’s of Carleton Place Limited on Bridge Street. “Wally did carpets and draperies … it was a big interior decorating business … it was a two-floor department store,” Cook said.

Upcoming events Sitting in the office of her Dufferin Street home, Cook flips through her appointment book. On Nov. 18, she will be in Renfrew on Valley Heritage Radio (98.7 FM) at 10:45 a.m., followed by a book signing at A Sense of Country at 2 p.m. “If I ever lost this book I would need to move out of the country,” Cook said with a laugh. On Nov. 25, she will be in Almonte at Mill Street Books for a 2 p.m. book signing. “I do a tremendous amount of public speaking,” Cook noted. “Sometimes, I do three speeches in one week.” Between now and the end of the year, she has eight speeches booked. “They usually want to hear the stories from the 1930s,” Cook said. “These stories had their birth on the radio in 1976, going right up until the mid 1990s.” One of Cook’s favourite stories in The Best Job in the World is Nightgowns. She explained: “My mother handed out a lot of advice on a lot of subjects in her lifetime. However, two pieces stick out in my mind – get dressed as soon as you get out of bed and never get caught in your nightgown, as well as never get caught with a pin in your underwear … you never know when you are going to be in an accident.” Other much-loved stories in the book include Housework and Sex and What’s So Offensive About a Clothesline? “I will continue to write as long as I can put two coherent words together,” Cook said, and “there is a very good reason … I have no hobbies – no artistic bone in my body.” Age means nothing to the writer. “My day starts between 5:30 and 6 a.m., and I am never in bed before midnight,” she revealed. “I have boundless energy to burn, and I rarely take a nap.” Other than severe spinal stenosis, “I am in reasonably good health, and thank God there is nothing wrong from the shoulders up,” Cook continued. “I have a phenomenal memory.”

Second annual Spartan Army Run raises funds for PTSDafflicted veterans BY DESMOND DEVOY

The second annual Spartan Army Run has raised more than $700 for wounded veterans and their families. The Wounded Warriors Canada fund helps soldiers suffering with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), as well as providing support for their families. On Friday, Nov. 3, St. John Catholic High School in Perth hosted the run, which raised $715.90, not only through pledges from the 39 runners, but also from sales of bracelets and money collected from a dress-down day. Pointing to spectators nearby on a bluff overlooking the school’s football field, teacher and organizer Jeff Peters told the shivering runners on the field, which was waterlogged thanks to heavy rains, that “you guys are not going to be high and dry” like the spectators. “That’s kinda the point,” as they try to replicate an army run of 2.5 km, a circuit from the field to the sled hill at Conlon Farm and back, through various obstacles and tasks. “(You are) pushing yourself. Remember what you’re doing this for,” said Peters in his pep talk, honouring

Major study finds untreated hearing loss linked to dementia Although the reason for the link is as yet unclear, a recent Johns Hopkins and National Institute on Aging study shows that seniors with hearing loss are significantly more likely to develop dementia over time than those with normal hearing. Researchers say these findings “could lead to new ways to combat dementia, a condition that affects millions of people worldwide and carries heavy societal burdens.”

Perth Blue Wings claim 3-2 shootout win at home against Panthers BY LAURIE WEIR

ljweir@metroland.com

The Perth Blue Wings split their two-game home stand with an overtime win Friday against the Embrun Panthers, and a 3-1 loss to the division leading Westport Rideaus in CCHL2 regular season play. Blue Wings head coach Michael McLane said they wanted four points, “but will take the two points for now and get ready for Char-Lan and the upcoming three-game weekend.” The Blue Wings host Char-Lan Friday night and then will have a home-and-home series Saturday and Sunday afternoon against the Carleton Place Junior Canadians. The weekend split gives the Blue Wings a record of eight wins and 10 losses for 17 points and sixth place in the Richardson Division conference. Westport now has a one-point lead over the Carleton Place Jr. Canadians with a record of 13-5 for 28 points, followed by Athens (11-7 for 23 points); Whitewater Kings, (11-7 for 22 points), and Arnprior (9-10 for 18 points). Ren-

frew (6-10) with 13 points and Brockville (4-15) with eight points finish out the conference. The Ottawa Canadians lead the Martin Division with a 17-2 record for 35 points, five ahead of Casselman (14-1). Embrun is third with 28 points on a 13-7 record, followed by Ottawa West with 25 points (11-4), Alexandria with 20 points (9-7); Richmond at 13 on a 5-9 record, Char-Lan at 11 ponts on a 5-14 record and Winchester with four points (2-17).

He never looked for praises, He was never one to boast, He just went on quietly working, For the ones he loved the most.

HOUSE TOUR

From page 2

it’s a 19th century brown limestone home and its early 1800s character has been restored and features a ceiling with 24-foot original wood pegged log beams and four stone arched design fireplaces. Next up is 238 Lyndhurst Street, a custom side-split home opposite the Mississippi River. Built in 1964 for one of the founders of Leigh Instruments, the current homeowners have reconfigured its layout which features Prairie School and mid-century design elements. Built in approximately 1894, 92 Munro Street was originally owned by the Leach family and boasts wide plank pine flooring and stained glass. The current homeowners purchased it in 2016 and have added antiques and textiles from around the globe. A new, open concept bungalow with finished basement will be found at 136 Munro Street. A traditional Christmas decorating theme will be highlighted as well as the homeowners’ growing Santa collection. The Victorian brick home at 337 Moffatt Street still maintains most of its original glory with a few updates included a new kitchen added on several years ago. The homeowners’ impressive antique collection will be featured and the high ceilings provide ample space to showcase upwards of 15 Christmas trees. A Cape Cod style home is at 286 Oakland Crescent, Glen Isle. A brick faced bar welcomes guests into the

family room and it also includes a large designer kitchen. The lady of the house, a gifted designer, has created a comfortable home with a calming eclectic style. The final stop is 124 Wilson Street in Appleton, a stone mansion sitting on two acres, overlooking the Mississippi River. It was built by the Teskey brothers in the mid-1800s. Key features of this home include five fireplaces, five staircases and spacious high ceilings. Originally built with eight bedrooms, they have been reduced to five over the years and the accompanying carriage house provides a gym/games room wing.

HOCKEY From page P18

Adam James and Graham Sheets. It was down to the final two minutes of the third period when Perth pulled their goalie, Cameron Scott, in favour of the extra attacker and Mack Miller managed to score with the man advantage. He was assisted by Dylan Sharpley and Tyler Murphy at 18:56. But that was as close as the Blue Wings could get as Westport held on for the 2-1 win. Sunday’s Game was an excellent matchup with the first place Rideaus,” McLean said. “We worked hard but had a hard to creating second and third chances around their net. “When we score goals – it is because we are going to the net and getting to the tough areas to score.” McLean said the 45 shots on goal were many, but much of them were single attempts with no rebounds. Eric Tessier had 44 saves for the win in nets. Game stars were Seed and Grant for Westport, and Miller for Perth. Perth 3 Embrun 2 Perth hosted the Embrun Panthers Friday night in front of more than 200 fans. The teams were evenly matched through two periods of play as the score ended 1-1 and 2-2 at the breaks. A scoreless third period forced the overtime, and again, both goalies – Perth’s newcomer Tom Myerhans, and Embrun’s Jean-Pascale Sabourin – were impressive keeping shots out of the net. The game went down to the last of five shooters as still the back-stoppers were solid in nets. It was Sharpley with the game winner as the fifth shooter. He also scored the team’s tying shot late in the third period to force the extra period. Miller had the opening goal for the Blue Wings in the first period. The Blue Wings outscored their opponents, 41-30. Perth had four minor offenses while Embrun had just two. “Our players played very well on Friday night, McLean said, “and deserved the two points they earned.” He added that Embrun is one of the top ranked offensive teams in the league – a veteran team with lots of experience and offensive skill. “We have kept Embrun to three goals in the two games we have played them – both Blue Wing wins.” Perth shut them down for the majority of the game Friday, he said, “and were able to win it in a shootout. “I thought Dylan Sharpley had his best game as a Blue Wing with two goals including the shootout winner.” Coming up Friday at 8 p.m. the Blue Wings will host the Char-Lan Rebels, and Saturday Carleton Place Jr. Canadians will host the Blue Wings at 8 p.m. Sunday, the Canadians will be in town for a 3 p.m. showdown. McLean said the big difference in the two games over the weekend was that Perth scored first Friday, and on Sunday, they played from behind the entire second and

third periods. “We need to score first – it makes us a different team and a much tougher team when we score first,” he said. “Our power play needs to improve … It has been dreadful for most of the season.” The coach said he believes that the specialty teams are one-third of the game, but the keys for Perth are to play five-on-five hockey, have a strong power play, and penalty killing. “I am pleased with our penalty killing,” he said, “and we play a very structured system when five-onfive. We just have not taken advantage of our attempts to score with the man advantage. As coaches – we need to spend more practice time on this and get the correct players in the correct spots.” On a positive note players competed well in both games, he said. They showed good poise and discipline.

If you’re suffering from nerve problems in the arms and legs, you must read about a clinical study that showed…

How 85% Of Patients Eliminated Numbness, Tingling, or Sharp Pains

Numbness, tingling, and pain are extremely annoying problems. It may come and go...interrupts your sleep...and even makes your arm or legs feel weak at times. Maybe you’ve even been to other doctors and they claim all the tests indicate you should

If You Read Nothing Else, Read This: More than 20 million Americans suffer from peripheral neuropathy, a problem caused by damage to the nerves that supply your arms and legs. This painful condition interferes with your body’s ability to transmit messages to your muscles, skin, joints, or internal organs. If ignored or mistreated, neuropathy can lead to irreversible health conditions. Why not get help by those trained to correct the major cause of peripheral neuropathy. Read the full facts on this page. More Pills Are Not The Solution A common treatment for many nerve problems is the ‘take some pills and wait and see’ method. While this may be necessary for temporary relief of severe symptoms, using them long term is no way to live. Some of the more common drugs given include pain pills, anti-seizure mediations, and antidepressants -- all of which have serious side effects. The Likely Cause Of Your Problem My name is Dr. Sean Murphy, chiropractor, I’ve been helping people with neuropathy and nerve problems for more than 17 years. Often neuropathy is caused by a degenerating spine pressing on and irritating the nerve roots. This can happen in any of the vertebral joints from the neck all the way down to the tail bone.

The good news is that chiropractic treatments have proven effective in helping to remove the irritation on the nerves. By using gentle techniques, we are able to release the irritation that has built up on the nerve. This allows the nerve to heal and the symptoms to go away. For example, numerous studies have proven chiropractic’s effectiveness in helping nerve conditions. Patients showed an 85.5% resolution of the nervesymptoms after only 9 chiropractic treatments. - Journal of Chiropractic Medicine 2008 improvement in perceived comfort and function, nerve – JMPT 1998 normalization of motor and sensory latencies were noted. Orthopedic tests were negative. Symptoms dissipated.” – JMPT 1994 What these studies mean is that you could soon be enjoying life...without those aggravating nerve problems.

PDCI's cross country team does well at OFSAA The Perth and District Collegiate Institute cross country team sent nine athletes to compete at the OFSAA championships held in Petawawa on Saturday, Nov.4 at Petawawa. The midget girls started the day with a 25th place finish by Megan Wheeler with a time of 15:38 over 4.3 km in a field of 257 runners. Wheeler led the team of Hillary Fournier, Sam Callan, and Megan Leblanc to a 26th team finish. The junior boys were led by EOSSAA champion Andrew Machan who finished 84th (20:29) in a field of 268 runners over the 5.3 km route. Other junior boys team members who finished 31st overall were Aydan Ireton, Malcolm Mac-

Donald, and John Miller. Finally, in the senior girls 6.4 km race, Lauren Miller finished 10th in a time of 23:46 over the demanding and hilly course to cap off the season on an incredibly high note. Coach Cara Fleming said she was ecstatic with the results. "These athletes have been training since the summer, putting in the miles and the work to get these results. Lauren's top-10 placing in the province is the icing on the cake to a fantastic season not only by her, but by the entire team." Fleming added that the students are already looking forward to next year and getting back to the OFSAA championships.
