Stroke patients better served in Brockville: CEO

BY DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

The president of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital has defended moving a part of the acute stroke care program to the Brockville General Hospital (BGH).

"A lot of people, at first blush, would say 'You're giving things up,'" admitted Bev McFarlane, during a speech to the Probus Club of Perth's monthly meeting at the Royal Canadian Legion branch hall on Wednesday, Nov. 2. "(But) we believed we were not doing the best for the patient," and that moving the program to Brockville would be the best move for patients. She cited, "very clear medical evidence," that the first several days after a stroke will dictate just how well a patient will recover after their stroke. That is "a very narrow window of time," to salvage parts of the patient's brain.

The transfer was made this past June, and already 30 patients have been sent to Brockville thus far, but she hastened to add that "we are happy to have them back," for further care, and that, by making the trip to Brockville, they can possibly "function a little higher," than they would have otherwise.

While that program has been moved around, the Kingston General Hospital's (KGH) chemo therapy program has been extended out to Perth. The KGH serves as the regional cancer centre for this part of eastern Ontario, but some chemo-therapy services have been brought home to Lanark County, and as a result, "we brought 26 patients back home...That's great news. We've had someone ring the bell to signify that their cancer treatment is over," she said.

Police, child services band together to provide kids with Christmas gifts It’s year 31, and as the Angel Tree program enters its fourth decade there is no doubt the program will continue to be a success thanks to the generosity and Christmas spirit in Lanark County and the surrounding area.

This year the Lanark County Child and Family Services/OPP Angel Tree program is starting off with 560 angels.

The angels assigned to trees are children directly affiliated with the Lanark County Child and Family Services or other agencies also affiliated with the C.A.S, and the goal is to provide a Christmas gift to each child.

The Lanark County municipal offices are participating once again, as are our community partners. They include Albany, Eaton, Lanark County Administration, Perth Town Hall, Great War Memorial Hospital and the Walmart in Carleton Place. Our OPP ERHQ and Provincial Communications Centre also continue to be a huge support with the internal distribution of angels to OPP employees.

We are certain that this year’s goal will be met as it has in past years.

Effective Thursday, Nov. 3, Angel Trees bearing “Angel Cards” will be distributed for pickup to the following locations for persons to attend wishing to retrieve an angel.

Those locations include: Lanark County O.P.P Detachment, Perth; Carleton Place O.P.P. Detachment; Dummond/North Elmsley municipal

Duffy’s lawyer, Don Bayne, speaks out on ‘sensationalist’ media coverage

BY DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Senator Mike Duffy’s lawyer, Donald Bayne, in many ways the voice and face of last year’s blockbuster trial, was the special guest speaker for a meeting of Lanark County lawyers.

“The last thing I wanted to be is a media guy.

I’ve never been a guy who has courted the media,” said Bayne during an exclusive interview with this newspaper on Monday, Nov. 7, during the County of Lanark Law Association’s fall 2016 social at the Chesswood restaurant in Carleton Place. “There are wonderful people in the media. I like the people in journalism. I like the people in media…They’re well intentioned.

They just get it wrong.”

That being said, “I became the face of the (Duffy) trial by default,” in part because of logistics. The Crown lawyers had their offices within the Elgin Street courthouse in Ottawa, while Bayne’s offices were across the road. So, he and Duffy had to run the gauntlet of national media camped outside of the court house doors – and Duffy was under instructions not to talk.

He admitted that with shrinking newsrooms and dwindling revenues, journalism “is a tough institution.” But he chided media companies for making reporters jack-of-all-trades, covering sports one minute, a high profile trial the next, and a folksy feature the next. During some trials, he has seen “some poor kid (who) gets parachuted in,” and has to get brought up to date on days or weeks of proceedings. “They have not learned the inside story.”

His solution?

“There have to be assigned court reporters,” he said. He remembered court reporters of old, who “knew more about the law and criminal procedure than the young lawyers,” he said. “You (reporters) educate the public,” to tell them what is going on in our nation’s courtrooms. “I think the rule of law is in jeopardy.”

There was some “very good journalism during (the) Duffy (trial),” he said, but it proved to be the exception.

He called Justice Charles Vaillancourt the real “hero” of the trial – and said that he would be saying the exact same thing had the judge convicted Duffy, instead of dismissing all of the charges against the senator.

“No matter what the outcome of this trial, we have a magnificent trial judge,” he told colleagues during the trial. “I can’t imagine a right of appeal in this case,” had it not gone Duffy’s way. “He’s such an experienced judge.”

As a revered judge, he trusted Vaillancourt to keep his own counsel and look at the facts presented in the courtroom, not to be swayed by public opinion – not always an easy thing to do.

During his later speech, Bayne told a story of Vaillancourt making his way to the courtroom one morning. A pedestrian who was leaning up against a post box near the court house asked him if he had any connection to the Duffy trial.

He replied that, yes, he did. Not only that, he was the judge. Upon hearing this, the man said, “Lock him up!”

“This is what a judge faces,” said Bayne.

“Real human life and real trials are complex.”

He accused much reporting on the Duffy trial as being simplistic and sensational and it did not take any nuance into account, or indeed anything that went against “the dominant narrative.” Further to this, with media resources being “so constrained…they (the media) will lap up” what is given to them, he said, pointing to wall-to-wall coverage of Donald Trump’s rallies on live television as an example.

While Bayne provided Duffy with legal advice, when asked if Bayne sought any media advice from Duffy, a long-time political reporter himself on Parliament Hill, Bayne replied with an emphatic “absolutely not.”

“His instincts were journalistic,” he said.

“This was not a journalistic enterprise. This was a criminal trial…Every lawyer has to decide for him or herself how they will handle a media storm. (And) you don’t handle modern media.

They smell out phonies and don’t like them.”

Also, as a lawyer representing his client, “you’re not trying to convince the media. You’re trying to convince the judge” of your client’s innocence.

He described Duffy as both “intelligent and sensitive,” juggling both legal and medical problems simultaneously for several months. He said he was “very impressed by him,” even though, understandably, “he wanted to cry out.”

During the 18-month ordeal, he described Duffy as “dignified and restrained,” but on the See DUFFY page 5

DUFFY

From page 4

day before the trail was to begin, Bayne saw another side of Duffy as he showed him around the courtroom for a tour, to show him the layout and where he would be sitting.

“He almost couldn’t breathe,” said Bayne, describing how the enormity of the situation was truly dawning on Duffy. “I thought he would die right on the spot. I didn’t think he would make it.”

But he held it together. “He needed to get through with it for his wife,” he said.

Lawyers gather Later in the evening, as he assembled before lawyers from all over the county and beyond, he cut right to the chase – almost.

“I know you are all expecting me to jump all over the Duffy case,” he said, especially the relationship between the media and that particular trial. He admitted that “there’s a certain rotund senator who is the reason why I was asked here.”

But another legal case just forming was at the front of his mind these days, that of former nurse Elizabeth Wettlaufer, who faces several murder charges in and around London, Ont. Holding up the front pages of both The Globe and Mail and National Post, which carried the news of her arrest – along with her “perp walk,” to a waiting police cruiser, accompanied by police officers – he had highlighted that the stories did carry the “mandatory ‘alleged’ qualifier,” saying she was alleged to have committed these murders. But then, further down in the stories, several paragraphs in, he charged that the “alleged” bit was dropped.

“The ‘alleged victims’ were replaced with ‘the victims were administered a drug,’” he said. “(The) cause of death has not been established,” in the eight deaths she has been charged in connection with. “‘The victims were administered a drug.’ There is no proof of that,” he continued.

“She (Wettlaufer) is not only damned by the headlines, she’s been convicted.”

But it was not just the media he took to task. While politicians on Parliament Hill and Queen’s Park enjoy parliamentary privilege within their respective chambers, he still chided New Democrat MPP Teresa Armstrong (London-Fanshawe) for a question she asked of Premier Kathleen Wynne, asking how these “murders” were allowed to go on “undetected” in Ontario’s nursing homes – with Armstrong assuming that they were indeed murders.

Not surprisingly for a man who has lectured at the Faculty of Law at Queen’s University, he cited several academic sources that he said showed the media’s “tendency to generalize based on fixed ideas,” that modern media is sensational and simplistic, and that viewers and readers believe what they see in pictures, and are not trained at critical thinking. He said that we live in a “post-truth world,” where “feelings matter, not facts. People ditch the facts in favour of deeply held beliefs,” which has led – as witnessed by the rise of Trump and, to a lesser extent, the Ford Nation phenomena – a “revulsion against the elites.”

Some of these so-called “elites” approached him at the Duffy trial wondering why he was getting up and objecting, and cross examining witnesses.

“They didn’t understand the basics of a Canadian trial,” said Bayne.

He admitted that he broke one of his own rules and held a press conference on Parliament Hill before Duffy was charged. He believed – a

belief he now thinks was naïve, in retrospect – that “these people (the media) will listen. The media will gather and listen…I thought by getting the facts out, we could stop this runaway train.” He felt that the “email evidence is so compelling,” and they had boiled down thousands of emails to a booklet, “a single, thin volume that reads like a novel.”

He expected a fair hearing.

“Boy was I wrong,” he said. “It was a spectacular failure.”

He also felt that it was not just the media that rushed to judgment, but the senate too.

“They wrongfully suspended a man without any proof,” he said.

Seven steps to media relations He presented, for the lawyers in attendance, seven steps for dealing with the media: 1.

“Form a strategy early on,” with a consistent, clear message.

2.

“Deliver it in everyday language.”

3.

“Don’t get into complexities about the defence.”

4.

“Be professional and courteous,” to the media. “They won’t like the fact that you don’t say much. (But) they will respect it.”

5.

“Make sure your client is the same.”

6.

Get your information to the media in a format they can deal with (instead of bankers’ boxes full of files, try PDFs or booklets).

7.

You are there to represent your client, not to make yourself look good personally or professionally. And work with your client on what your media strategy will be.

He also stressed that Canada needs more legal literacy, with “better education in primary schools about the law,” and the “presumption of innocence.”

He was asked later during the question-andanswer session why he had elected a trial by judge rather than by jury, and he was blunt in his assessment.

“I didn’t think any jury would acquit him,” he said. He also said he chose not to do a preliminary hearing, as he is doing less of them now. Doing a preliminary hearing also gives the Crown attorneys a bit of a glimpse at his defence strategy. By the time the case gets to trail, “their (Crown) case is going to get better.”

There was a debate about whether to put Duffy on the stand.

“Was there a risk? Absolutely,” said Bayne.

He identified one of the Crown attorneys as having the ability to “do real damage to Mr. Duffy with withering contempt.” But he added that “it wasn’t my decision alone. He (Duffy) wanted and needed my input on that. He was ready to testify. He desperately wanted an opportunity to tell his side of the story. He did remarkably well on the stand…He had a self-deprecating way of telling his life story that would connect with the judge.”

Bayne agreed with Duffy’s desire to tell his story, since he felt that “you’re a decent human being, and you have a good story to tell. This may be your one chance.”

While he had respect for Nigel Wright, Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s former chief of staff – who also cut Duffy a cheque for about $90,000 – he did not think that Wright did as well on the stand as Duffy did.

“Nigel Wright was and is a man much smarter than me,” he said. However, “people in hierarchical structures never had to answer for what they do. They just give orders.”

In the courtroom, he had to answer questions and “he didn’t do well in that.”

Investigative work begins at Poonamalie Lock on Rideau Canal near Smiths Falls for this $3B project During the week of Nov. 7, investigative drilling and surveying will take place at Poonamalie Lock 32 on the Rideau Canal National Historic Site. This investigative work will inform the design of the upcoming heritage stone masonry rehabilitation project scheduled to begin in fall 2017.

Parks Canada will be dewatering the lock to allow for a detailed inspection of the lock and

surrounding area. Surveying will be completed to identify the surface features and the depth of the water at the site.

Additionally, small vertical boreholes will be drilled just outside of the lock adjacent to the approach walls to determine the subsurface conditions. These inspections are integral to the development of the design and the scope of the upcoming construction work.

Parks Canada is investing an unprecedented $3 billion dollars over five years to support infrastructure work to heritage, visitor, waterway, and highway assets located within national historic sites, national parks and national marine conservation areas across Canada. Through these investments, Parks Canada is protecting and preserving our treasured places, while supporting local economies, contributing

In the fall, there are fewer boats on the water to offer assistance, if needed. Boaters should be sure to leave a float plan with a responsible person on shore who will know what to do if they’re overdue. A marine radio or cell phone will allow them to call for assistance should the need arise. Having a few tools and spare parts aboard will also allow them to fix minor problems that might otherwise cause them to be

stranded out on the water.

It’s important that boaters ensure that their boat and engine are in good shape and mechanically sound.

Ethanol-based fuel can allow water contamination in the tank. The use of a fuel additive prevents water in the fuel line from freezing which could cause the engine to chug to a halt. If the boat has portable fuel tanks, it’s a good idea to have a spare on board as a reserve.

When boaters head out, they should be wary of reduced water levels that can result after a long, hot and dry summer season. Some of a

COMMENTARY

Scams can be a click away

e continue to hear about residents of the area receiving calls from someone claiming to be in law enforcement and demanding immediate payment for a fake tax debt, and residents of other communities in the region are probably being called as part of the scam.

Although Cyber Safety Security Month has just ended, we want to draw attention to a similar online security threat that was made note of by the Ontario Provincial Police.

In one example of such a phishing expedition, an email falsely claims to be from an established, legitimate organization - perhaps a bank or government agency.

The recipient is asked to go to a certain website to provide personal or financial information and passwords.

As the OPP note in a recent release, "it is really a malicious attempt to collect consumer information for the purpose of committing fraud."

There's also ransomware, which produces a so-called police Trojan or scareware: a notice pops up, supposedly from the legit law enforcement agency.

It's a false accusation that the recipient has conducted illegal online activities accompanied by a demand that he or she must pay an amount by way of money transfer or credit card in order to unlock the computer.

When the victim submits payment details, the scammer steals and uses the respondent's personal information.

A few friendly reminders to consider: never click on links or attachments sent by someone you do not know, and never download anti-virus software from a pop-up or link sent in an email.

Also, do not click on a pop-up claiming the computer has a virus.

And please report such scam attempts to law enforcement agencies and share your experiences with others to raise awareness and, hopefully, reduce the number of people who become victims.

Cecil ends up with a few minutes of fame in Miss Crosby's class

M

iss Crosby, our teacher at the Northcote school, Mother thought should be made a saint when she passed.

But that couldn't happen, my sister Audrey said, because she wasn't a Catholic. That morning, as always, she was ready to read a verse from the Bible, have us sing God Save the King, and say a prayer, which she wrote herself.

She stood erect at her desk, wearing the same printed dress she wore every day, with a starched white collar and cuffs, which she changed every few days. She favoured the Beatitudes, and had only been reading a couple minutes, paused to take a breath, and a loud cracking could be heard all over the school. Cecil had done it again!

He had this talent of cracking his toes when he was wear-

ing his gum-rubbers, and when he wasn't wearing stockings, which was usually the case.

The noise echoed in his gumrubbers like a slap with an open hand on a 2X4. Miss Crosby rolled her eyes skyward, but not a sound came out of her mouth. The whole room was silent.

"Cecil," she said. And she sounded like she had just run all the way from the Barr Line.

"Cecil, I heard that. In fact, they probably heard it at Briscoes General Store. Stand up and apologize to the class."

Tall and rail thin, Cecil unfolded himself from his seat.

He said nothing. Miss Crosby ordered him to the low stool that sat in the corner at the front of the room. This is where anyone was sent who misbehaved, hadn't done their homework, or generally tried Miss

ing, because her shoulders were shaking. The Briscoe twins, who dressed alike, finished each other's sentences and did everything together, put up their hands with one finger in

Crosby's patience.

Cecil folded himself onto the stool, and when he had settled down, his knees were under his chin, and his hands were resting on the floor.

He looked exactly like the big chimpanzee we saw when the circus came to the fairgrounds one time in Renfrew. Well, it wasn't long until everyone in the Northcote School was in hysterics. Miss Crosby folded the Bible, flopped down on her chair behind her desk, and put her head down on her folded arms. I thought she was cry-

overcome with fits of laughter.

We have the pleasure of presenting Mary Reid as our guest for the evening. She is very well known in the gardening world and is a regular speaker throughout the area. She is the owner of Green Thumb Garden Centre in Nepean. Mary will be speaking about the use of raised gardens.

Mary has agreed to judge the centerpieces created by some of our members for the tables. There will be cash prizes awarded to the top four.

Members not wishing to attend the dinner are welcome to participate in the business part of the evening including our elections and listen to our guest speaker after the meal. This will commence at 7:15 p.m.

As mentioned our elections will be conducted so anyone wishing to stand for office is asked to speak with Debra or Brian, our nominating committee.

A silent auction will take place during the evening. We also have available 10 potted amaryllis bulbs that will sell for $10 each. All of

the work has been done for you by Anita, you just have to take these beauties home and give them some TLC. Our last photo contest for this year was October. The winners were Graham Wilson first, Brian Bellevue second and tied for third were Aline Hicks, Jean Holmes and Carol Stanley.

Brian wishes to make it known that anyone not able to attend a meeting can have someone submit their photo on their behalf.

The déjà vu was not judged in October however we invite those that have the required photos to mount them on white paper and bring them to this meeting. Submissions are separate from the monthly contest and a gift certificate valued at $20 will be presented to the winner. Members please select and vote on your favourite set of photos in this people’s choice contest.

A second commercial garden has been selected for this year. Congratulations to Burger King on Beckwith Street. We are happy to honour you with a certificate in recognition of your continuous efforts to beautify your business property and the town.

LETTER

He was just an old man. A face on the corner, a shadow along the street and no one in particular. A nobody that no one cared to know and sadly most never would. And that fact would count as a huge loss to them all.

He was the butt of jokes, rumor and gossip.

He was feared, avoided and scorned, yet the truth was nobody really knew why because it had been going on for so long. It just was.

Folks said that he had been in the war but he didn’t hang out at the legion and never marched with the other veterans on Remembrance Day. In fact, no one ever saw him anywhere on Remembrance Day and this was true because they wouldn’t.

In his working years he had held a job down at the lumber yard but didn’t hang out with the other workmen after hours and kept pretty much to himself. He never bothered anyone nor did he cause trouble but still made people uneasy because he was, well, weird.

On Saturday mornings he would eat breakfast alone at the local diner and on Sunday mornings sat at the back of a local church and then would quietly slip out the back once the service was over. A strange man indeed.

Therefore, no one would know, or could know of course, that this quiet, strange man had once fought in some of the greatest theaters and battles in Europe during the Second World War. Wouldn’t know that he had earned so many medals that he would likely have difficulty holding his head up should he try to wear them all at once now upon his breast.

They could never possibly know what it felt like to watch so many of his fellow soldiers and

friends die at his feet in the blood, muck and total disgust that is called a battlefield. Nor could they wonder, as he had, why and what it was all for?

And who but God himself could explain why it was him who had lived while the others did not? If only he could have that question answered.

How does one explain the responsibility for, not only living one’s own life, but also the lives of others left behind to those who could never understand? The simple answer is that you don’t and you can’t. So you must carry it silently within yourself.

This is the reason why each year, on Remembrance Day, this lonely old man appeared at the cenotaph late at night long after the others have gone and the town was asleep. And each year he’d see them there as they gathered with him.

For they are forever young and they acknowledged their beloved captain with a salute and warm smiles as he did likewise to them.

Then from his coat he’d withdraw a bottle of rum and a pack of smokes which he passed amongst his men and they’d share and celebrate life together. “It’s a good life after all boys.” Declared the captain. “Especially as it is you lads who live and beat within my heart and I can only hope that I did well and did you lads proud as you did likewise for me.”

Then from somewhere a bugle would sound and a piper would begin to play. A breeze would start to blow and carried on down through those very same streets where a strange, quiet lonely old man was known to have walked. One whom we all would do well to travel in shoes such as he had worn.

for more stockings filled with toiletries for men as they have not been receiving proportionately in past years. Please put a tag on each stocking to designate if it is for a man, woman, teen boy or teen girl. Your parish team has been asked to take two or three smaller deliveries throughout the month, as opposed to one large delivery just before Christmas, to facilitate distribution. As we track our contribution by weight and number, our goal is to exceed last year's distribution of 90 stockings and nearly 200 pounds of toiletries.

Karin Nakamura, manager of The Hunger Stop, has expressed her gratitude for these donations.

For so many of their clients, this may be the only

gift they receive. Several have told her they save the stocking to open Christmas morning. Karin and her staff of volunteers get to play Santa for a few weeks and so appreciate seeing the happy smiles when clients receive their stockings! She also sends a huge thank you to congregations that support this effort.

You can see, by these accounts, how much your contributions have meant to our community. Please call me for more information: 613492-1006.

Many, many thanks.

time Miss Crosby had sent him to the stool. Never one to miss an opportunity to give the school a chance to learn something, she ordered Cecil to take off his gum-rubbers and show everyone how he was able to crack his toes.

Well, there he sat, folded on the stool, with his bare feet stretched out before him, and try as he might, he couldn't muster up one crack! We all sat in utter silence waiting.

Nothing happened. The morning was wearing on, and Miss Crosby wisely decided to bring things back to order.

At recess outside, everyone gathered around Cecil like he was the Mayor of Renfrew. He loved being on centre stage and went on to explain this amazing feat. The reason he couldn't perform for Miss Crosby, he said, was because he could only crack his toes inside his gum-rubbers.

And there he sat on the school steps, cracking his toes inside his gum-rubbers, enjoying his few minutes of fame at the Northcote School, before Miss Crosby appeared at the door with the big brass bell.

Frozen Dreams will warm your heart What motivates you to contribute Theatre Night in Merrickville will be competing in the Eastern Ontario Drama League’s FullLength Festival with their upcoming production of “Frozen Dreams” by Robert Ainsworth.The competition, which runs until next March, is featuring works by Canadian playwrights in recognition of the Canada 150 celebration. Director Margaret Shearman is excited to be performing this gripping comedy-drama, which is not only by an Ontario playwright, but is also set in Ottawa. “Frozen Dreams” centres on a group of three homeless men on a Christmas Eve. One of them - a developmentally delayed young man - has received a frozen turkey from a charity. The gift is an ironic one for a homeless person, but the three of them band together to find a way to cook the turkey.

“I chose this play because it touches on some serious themes with emotion and humour,” explains Shearman. “It deals with the subject matter sensitively, but also has moments of hilarity. This is not a play about despair, it’s a play full of hope and compassion and the chance of new beginnings.”

All of the plays entered in the Festival will be adjudicated by J.P. Kelly, who will travel all over Eastern Ontario to each of the competing community theatres. Kelly, who is an internationally renowned adjudicator/director/teacher and broadcaster, will give a short public adjudication after the Saturday night performance (Nov. 19). The audience is invited to stay and hear what a professional adjudicator thinks of the production. This is always an interesting learning experience for everyone.

“The play is challenging for me as a director,” says Shearman, “and it has five demanding roles, which gives the actors an opportunity to vie for one of the acting awards. Because the play is set in an alley, the visual artists in our group have a chance to go to town with the set

painting. It makes an interesting change from our more usual living room sets.”

The cast of six includes faces both new and familiar to TNIM audiences. The homeless men are played by Al Billiald, Peter Crate, and Douglas Piepers. While Billiald has had leading roles in many of the group’s recent shows, it has been a number of years since either Piepers or Crate have been seen on TNIM’s stage. Crate had a role in TNIM’s EODL award-winning production of “Having Hope at Home” three years ago. Piepers acted in TNIM’s “Rainmaker” in 2007, and has also performed with the Mississippi Mudds, Kemptville Youth Musical Theatre Company, and the Kemptville Players, but has not been on stage for several years.

“This is quite an interesting role to jump back into theatre with,” says Piepers. “My character suffers from a mental disability and it’s an acting challenge I believe I’m having success with. The play has a lot of heart and I’ve never had a role like this with such depth of character to play with before. I’m loving that experience.”

The cast also includes an eccentric bag lady who fades in and out of reality, played by Mary Robertson, and a kindly public health nurse, played by Anita Plunkett. Although both actresses are new to TNIM, they have many years of stage experience – Robertson with the Brockville Theatre Guild, Plunkett with the Kemptville Players and Dundas County Players. Keith Stanton, who recently played an outrageous French squire in TNIM’s “Sleeping Beauty”, rounds out the cast as a police officer.

“Frozen Dreams” runs Nov. 18, 19, and 20 (matinee) at the Merrickville Community Centre. Tickets are available from TNIM’s website: www.merrickvilletheatre.org and at Mrs. McGarrigle’s Fine Food Shop or the Merrickville Book Emporium, both in Merrickville.

Financial Problems?

to your RRSP or TFSA? How do you contribute to your registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) and your tax-free savings account (TFSA)? Do you make regular contributions through the year? Do you contribute when a friend or family member nudges you? Do you remember to do so when your professional advisor reminds you? Or do you want to make up for last year when you forgot to invest in or top up your RRSP or TFSA? It really doesn’t matter what motivates you to contribute to your RRSP or TFSA – what matters is that you do make regular contributions. Here’s why: Investment experts agree: An RRSP is the best retirement savings strategy for most Canadians Your contributions and all the investment earnings that accumulate in your plan are tax exempt until you start using the money in retirement. Add in the fact that your contributions can be used to reduce taxes and the magic of compounding that enhances RRSP growth over time and it’s easy to see why a registered plan makes such good financial sense.

To get the most in immediate tax savings and long-term growth from your RRSP, always make your maximum contribution each year.

For 2016 the maximum RRSP contribution is $25,370 (How much you can contribute can be found on your most recent notice of assessment from the Canada Revenue Agency.) The RRSP contribution deadline for the 2016 tax year is March 1, 2017. If you have any unused contribution room left over from previous years, fill it up as quickly as possible for maximum long-term tax-deferred growth and additional tax savings. Your RRSP contribution tax deduction can be carried

Manage Your Money forward to future tax years, which can be useful if you expect a jump in income in the next few years.

TFSAs are an excellent and flexible way to save You put your money into a TFSA and you get your money back out – at any time, for any purpose. With a TFSA, there is no tax deduction for your contributions but all TFSA investment earnings are totally tax-free and will not trigger clawbacks on federal tax credits or benefits programs (such as the Guaranteed Income Supplement, Old Age Security, Age Credit, GST Credit, or Canada Child Benefit). The current annual maximum TFSA contribution is $5,500 plus the full amount of any previous year withdrawals. If you don’t use all your contribution room right away, it accumulates year after year – fill it up any time you want. By the way, your TFSA contributions do not affect your RRSP contribution room.

There’s no doubt that regular contributions to a RRSP and TFSA are vital to your financial future. Your professional advisor can help you get the most from a RRSP, a TFSA and every other element of your overall financial plan.

High Times at the Heart Institute comes to Almonte, Nov. 26 In partnership with Almonte General Hospital, Stone Fence Theatre is bringing its new fundraising musical comedy, High Times at the Heart Institute, to the Old Town Hall Theatre in Almonte on Nov. 26 at 7 p.m.

Proceeds from play attendance go directly to the hospital, so it’s a great time for a great cause, the organizers says.

This fall and winter, the show is touring the Valley, with the potential to raise at least $25,000 for hospitals and health care. The tour has already been to Eganville, Renfrew, Barrys Bay, Deep River and Pembroke.

The musical comedy was written by Ish Theilheimer, the company’s producer, and directed by Barrys Bay resident Chantal Elie-Sernoskie.

It celebrates Canada’s health care system and takes a humorous look at the subject of aging Baby Boomers com-

ing to terms with mortality.

“The show was inspired by my own personal experience as a patient at the Ottawa Heart Institute,” says Theilheimer.

“I have been so impressed by the care and service I’ve received both at the Institute and at all the local hospitals that are tied in with it.”

Heart Institute founder Dr. Wilbert Keon attended the opening of the show and told an area newspaper, “It was fabulous, fabulous, fabulous! I just thought it was so bang on.”

The show’s plot involves four heart patients who find themselves thrust together by their health issues.

They include Bobby (John Haslam) and Wendy (Fran Pinkerton), two aging rock and rollers and exes who can’t stand each other, left-wing cynic Arthur (Peter Brown), and Tea Party American Maggie (Les-

Did you know there’s also national and international news on our website?

ley Sneddon), whose health insurance company leaves her high and dry. Toni (Shirley Hill), a stressed-out and overworked nurse tries to cope with all their needs.

In the end, Wendy uses a secret from her old hippie days to save the day.

Conrad Boyce, Nigel Epps, Cathy Lyons, Elaine Neigel make up the chorus, known as “The Interns.” Derek Tolhurst plays bass, Evan Burgess plays guitar, and Theilheimer plays percussion in the show.

Tickets cost $25.66 plus tax, with proceeds of the show going to support the Almonte General.

Tickets for all shows are available from Stone Fence Theatre’s website - www.stonefence. ca , from the box office - 613628-6600 or from local outlets.

Winter is coming: Are you ready?

Of course I’m referring to winter; that season that brings out the worst in our road conditions and does its best to drive our vehicles to an early grave. The good folks at Speedy Glass have taken the time to compile a simple list of things to help us prepare for the snowy season ahead. In case you think all of these warnings about winter driving are just so much hype, consider that in December of last year the Ontario Ministry of Transport recorded over 7,000 more vehicle collisions than in May. Safety first. A favourite topic of our readers, headlights, is at the top of Speedy’s list. Damaged or defective lamps can cost you four seconds of reaction time in an emergency situation. They can also reduce the distance you can clearly see road signs at night from 115 to 50 meters. And don’t forget about the importance of being able to see animals on the road.

Stats Can reports that these collisions involving vehicle damage have gone up 40 per cent in the last five years.

Windshields. Of course as you might suspect, an auto-glass expert such as Speedy would have something to say on windshields. Winter, with its sub-zero temps is the time when simple and repairable chips can become cracks. A cracked windshield not only presents a visual hazard, but it can also effect air bag deployment as most passenger front air bags use the windshield as a backboard. And in a roll over, a cracked windshield can increase the roof’s collapse potential by up to 60 per cent. Don’t forget that snow and ice must be cleared of all exterior glass surfaces before heading out on the road. Police services have stepped up their enforcement of this lately.

Tire pressure. It is important to know that each time the temperature drops by 6° C, the tire pressure may drop by one psi. It is for this reason that professionals suggest checking your tire pressure more often during the winter months.

Maximize visibility. Wipers are not a long term item. They should be changed at least every 18 months.

Anti-rain treatments such as Rain-X or Aquapel are another way to ensure maximum visibility. This type of treatment is especially useful during the winter making it easier to remove ice from a treated windshield.

Fuel. Driving with a low-level of fuel can be damaging to your vehicle in cold weather. By keeping your level high, the risk of moisture contamination caused by condensation is lowered. And driving with a full tank on very slippery days is a great way to safely add weight to your vehicle for

improved traction.

Cabin filter. These features are common on just about every vehicle these days and when they get plugged with dust and debris, they can greatly reduce the air flow coming out of the defrost vents. For improved defrosting, quicker warm-ups, and cleaner air, have the cabin filter checked every few months or so.

Carpets. When water soaks the carpets in a car, the humidity level in the vehicle rises considerably and this can lead to windows fogging. Quality rubber floor liners help avoid this problem while keeping the carpet free of salt stains, especially Weathertech floor liners for example.

Battery. Cold temperatures can weaken your battery. Also your battery must not have any trace of corrosion and your cables must be firmly fastened. Having a battery test done before winter can help ensure worryfree starts.

Brakes. It’s far from optimal to drive on icy roads with brakes that are not in perfect condition, making regular check-ups is essential.

Engine coolant. This vital fluid is a crucial element in maintaining good cabin heat while protecting your engine. Have the level checked at every oil change and replace the coolant as per your vehicle’s recommended schedule.

Now if you’ve made it this far, here’s the reward. Speedy Glass has graciously supplied five winter vehicle kits that I’d love to give away to those readers with the best winter driving tip. Simply forward your tip to my email address listed below and I’ll select and print the best five in an upcoming article and get a kit out to you.

Drivers Beware: One-third of Canadians aren’t using winter tires Michelin Survey Reveals Canadians Value Winter Tires, but Uptake is Slow Despite an overwhelming majority of Canadians indicating that safety outweighs cost when it comes to purchasing winter tires, a recent Michelin survey reveals that more than one in three (34 per cent) Canadian drivers still do not own a set of winter tires.

Falls can be prevented – tips to stay upright Falls are the leading cause of injury among older Canadians. The scary statistic is that three in every 10 seniors will fall in a year. Anyone can fall. But as we age, our risk of falling becomes greater. That's the bad news.

The good news is that falls can be prevented.

The first step to avoiding falls is to understand what causes them. For example, poor balance, decreased muscle and bone strength, reduced vision or hearing, and unsafe conditions in and around your home can increase your chance of falling. Staying safe and on your feet is a matter of taking some steps to protect yourself.

At home: Reduce clutter in your home (loose wires, area rugs etc). Be sure your home has good lighting and the paths are clear between rooms.

Safety aids: Don't be embarrassed to use aids for daily living. Wear your glasses, hearing aids and use a walker or cane if needed. Appropriate foot wear can make a big difference to help prevent a fall.

Medications: Understand the side effects. Go over all medication (prescription, over the counter, vitamins).

Some drug side effects and drug interactions can cause dizziness, weakness, and drowsiness. Not taking medications as prescribed can also be hazardous.

Stay Fit: Without exercise, you lose your muscle tone and strength, especially in your legs, which is imperative in maintaining balance. Low impact exercise, such as aquatic classes, or Tai Chi can all help to improve muscle strength. A great way to increase balance!

Regular doctor visits: Fortunately, falls are preventable. Have your doctor give you a full physical evaluation to rule out any medical issues that can increase your likeliness of falls. See your optometrist annually. Make sure your glasses are up to date. Poor vision increases your chance of falls.

Take action!

The number of risk-takers significantly increases as you move westward across the country with nearly half (48 per cent) of Western Canadians (BC, AB, SK, MB) reporting they do not own a set of winter tires.

In Quebec winter tires are required by law from Dec. 15 to March 15. A 2011 study released by the Quebec government found the province saw a drop (five per cent) in winter driving injuries after the government made winter tires mandatory, showing that how you equip your vehicle in winter can make a difference.

Although 77 per cent of respondents agreed that cost weighs on their decisions to purchase winter tires, 88 per cent agreed that safety weighs on their decision, and 61 per cent agreed that there is no ceiling price on tires when it comes to winter road safety for themselves and others. So if Ca-

nadians understand the value of winter tires, why is the adoption rate not higher?

The lack of winter tire use can be attributed to the belief among many Canadians (43 per cent) that allseason tires are sufficient for winter driving. Respondents from Western Canada (56 per cent) particularly believe all-season tires are safe for the winter, followed by Ontario (50 per cent). While this belief is less prevalent in Eastern Canada, 26 per cent of Quebec respondents and 20 per cent of Atlantic Canadians still believe allseason tires are sufficient for winter driving.

Carl Nadeau, Michelin driving expert, is disconcerted by the news.

“While all-season tires are meant to keep you safe in occasional, transitional weather conditions, you need winter tires to safely ride through our

Canadian winters. The unique tread compounds of winter tires allow them to remain more flexible in colder temperatures, providing better traction than all-season tires. All-season tires are less flexible and less effective when the temperature drops consistently below freezing, and especially when precipitation is added to the mix.”

Additional reasons given by Canadians for not owning winter tires: In the majority of provinces, the most popular reason for not owning winter tires is the belief that the respondents’ vehicles are sufficient at handling winter conditions: Manitoba and Saskatchewan (36 per cent), Alberta (33 per cent), Atlantic Canada (31 per cent), and Ontario (29 per cent).

In British Columbia, 56 per cent of the respondents indicated they do not own winter tires because it does

not snow enough or get cold enough where they live.

The main reason respondents gave in Quebec for not owning winter tires at the time of the survey was that they had purchased a new vehicle in the spring/summer that did not come with winter tires (52 per cent).

“Winter can be a challenging season, so to safely and fully enjoy it, it is imperative that drivers properly prepare their vehicles to handle the snow, ice, slush – and cold,” said Nadeau.

“Your tires are the only part of your vehicle that actually touches the road in winter. Making sure your vehicle is equipped with the right set of winter tires is integral to your road safety.”

Acts of remembrance passed to next generation Nov. 11 is one of the most important days on the calendar. It is Remembrance Day in Canada, the 98th anniversary of the end of the First World War or the "Great War" as it is often called.

Next April 9, Canada will mark the centenary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge. On Easter Monday 1917, the four divisions of the Canadian Corps did what neither the British or French armies had been able to accomplish in more than two years of fighting.

They took and held Vimy Ridge, near the city of Arras in northern France.

Vimy was considered the most heavily defended German position on the Western Front.

Victory was achieved at a remarkably low cost by First World War standards. There were 10,602 Canadian casualties including 3,598 dead. The triumph at Vimy was a turning point for Allied forces in the war. Back in Canada the victory by our army brought honour and pride to what was a very young nation.

Today Vimy Ridge is the site of what is arguably the best known Canadian war memorial and one of the most spectacular war monuments in the world. Carved on its walls are the names of 11,285 Canadians who were killed in France during the First World War, but have no known grave.

My wife Kathleen and I are fortunate enough to have visited Vimy

Reflections

BY JEFF MAGUIRE

Ridge and the massive, breathtaking war memorial. It was a moving experience and it's something I highly recommend to all Canadians who visit Continental Europe.

The problem we face in terms of Vimy Ridge and the wars of the 20th Century is that so many years later most of our citizens may never be exposed to this important story. The history of Canada's involvement in two world wars and the Korean War is not mandatory in our secondary schools.

To me that ensures that in future years only those who are interested in history will be conversant with these important chapters in the story of our nation.

Every year surveys done in the lead up to Nov. 11 produce more discouraging results. Young Canadians in particular are not familiar with our war history. The way things are going the situation can only get worse!

Obviously organizations such as the Royal Canadian Legion, the country's largest veterans' group, are working to keep the importance of remem-

brance in front of our people. Nov. 11 ceremonies continue to be well attended and the wearing of poppies, an important symbol of remembrance, is widespread.

Unfortunately Legion membership is declining rapidly and there is concern that if the current trend continues the organization will not be able to sustain its good works.

Most important of all perhaps is the Legion's leadership in terms of Remembrance Day. The Legion was built by veterans and as they pass on the number of people invested in the organization and its activities falls.

It's a natural progression! There are no First World War veterans left alive and the number of Second World War and Korean War veterans is declining rapidly.

War history In September my son Craig and I travelled to England for a father-son getaway. It was Craig's first visit to the United Kingdom. My son is interested in war history and some of our time in London was spent exploring the subject.

Like me he is especially interested in the life and times of Winston Churchill, Great Britain's iconic Prime Minister during Second World War. We spent several hours exploring what is now called the Churchill War Rooms (previously the Cabinet War

Rooms). The war rooms and the more recently developed Churchill Museum are located in a subterranean complex in which the nation's leaders took shelter during "The Blitz" the intense German aerial bombing campaign aimed at the British capital.

Kathy and I have visited several times over the years. Every time we go more additions and improvements have been made.

Operated by the Imperial War Museum the site includes a first-rate, selfguided audio tour of the rooms where Churchill and his cabinet met during the darkest days of the war. The bunker complex is where decisions which would take the island nation from the brink of defeat to victory were made.

The Cabinet War Rooms are housed in a former storage area under the Treasury Building in Central London, just off Parliament Square. Construction began in 1938 and they were ready for occupancy in August 1939, the month before the outbreak of war.

They served as the nation's wartime nerve centre until August 1945 and victory over Japan.

The site was abandoned until its value as a tourist attraction was recognized. The bunker opened for public tours in 1984. It is essentially a time capsule, with many of the rooms remaining exactly as they were the day the site was closed at the end of the Second World War.

In the early 2000s a further 850-square metres of adjoining underground space was redeveloped.

In 2005 that area opened as a biographical museum on Churchill's life. In 2010 the entire complex had its name shortened to the Churchill War Rooms. The interactive displays in the Churchill museum are excellent and there is a wealth of memorabilia which helps trace the life and career of a truly remarkable man. Craig thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Also during our time in London, I made a point of taking my son to see the Battle of Britain Monument.

Located on Victoria Embankment, on the north side of the River Thames, the impressive series of sculptures and friezes pay tribute to the military personnel who served during the Battle of Britain as well as depicting the horrors faced by civilians during the Blitz. The memorial was unveiled in September 2005 on the 65th anniversary of the Battle of Britain and is one of the most easily accessible war memorials in London. Kathy and I first visited it two days after the dedication ceremony.

Interestingly when Craig and I went to the site Sept. 17 a small ceremony was being held at the monument to mark the 76th anniversary of the famous battle which ended the threat of a Nazis invasion of England.

Included in the ceremony were two of the surviving Royal Air Force pilots from the battle. I was able to quickly shake hands with one but unfortunately I did not have time to obtain his name. We were told by an official they are among only 14 surviving pilots from the battle.

That of course plays into what I mentioned earlier about how quickly we are losing our veterans. It seems that every day in the obituary section of the daily newspaper I see that another Second World War or Korean veteran has passed away. Not surprising considering most of those men and women are now in their late '80s and '90s.

Educational programs On a positive note this Remembrance Day there are educational programs out there that are aimed at teaching our youth about past wars and Canada's involvement in them.

I am a founding director of the Roy Brown Society of Carleton Place that is dedicated to promoting and publicizing the stories of Carleton Place-born First World War ace Captain Arthur "Roy" Brown and 14 fellow First World War pilots from Carleton Place. Brown is the Canadian flyer who shot down famous German ace Baron Manfred von Richthofen (later nicknamed "The Red Baron") on April 21, 1918.

There is a remarkable story attached to every Great War flyer from Canada who joined the then fledgling military air services. A select number of those tales of bravery can be found among the displays at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa, a facility we can all be proud of. The war museum is a leader in public education about the world wars.

In addition a new collaborative video series involving the Royal Canadian Geographical Society and Sound Venture Productions, an Ottawa-based film company debuted recently on CPAC, Canada's public affairs television channel. The three part series entitled 'A Nation Soars' commemorates Canada's Great War flyers.

Last week I was among several people from our society, along with staff from the Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum and Brown family members, who attended the launch for part two of the film series called "Wings of Courage." The event was held at the Canadian Aviation and Space Museum in Ottawa. Part 2, which includes Brown's story, aired on CPAC Sunday night. Part 3 is still in production.

During the launch we heard details of a planned Vimy Flight next April to mark the 100th anniversary of the famous battle. Canadian pilots will fly replica biplanes built by a team including air cadets at the Canadian Museum of Flight in Langley, British Columbia.

It is wonderful to see such important initiatives unfolding, especially those involving young people. It is up to present and future generations to ensure the stories of Canada's involvement in the world wars and the sacrifices made by so many of our citizens are perpetuated. Attending Remembrance Day ceremonies tomorrow in our own communities is just one way we can help keep their memories alive!

PEGGY Who doesn’t love black cats! Peggy is a real beauty, inside and out. She’s been waiting far too long at LAWS for her forever home to come along.

She trying awfully hard to get your attention but she’s still waiting. Peggy is easy going, laid back and very friendly. She’s about two years old and has been with LAWS since June this year.

RITCHIE Ritchie has been with LAWS since May. Upon arrival she was hissing and growling most of the time. She delivered her beautiful kittens and became a protective mom.

As long as you don’t make sudden moves, as that’s still a little scary for her, she’s turned into a lovely lady. Initially we thought she’d be better off in a barn, but we feel, with a little extra time and TLC Ritchie would love to be your house cat. Please meet this young

Ontarian selected as designer of Canada 150 circulation coin After thousands of Canadians took part in a national contest to create circulation coin designs celebrating Canada’s 150th anniversary in 2017, the Mint is finally revealing the choice of Canadians.

As simultaneous unveiling ceremonies unfold in the communities of each winning coin designer, the Mint today unveiled the work of Wesley Klassen, which will grace the reverse (or tails) side of the 2017 one-dollar circulation coin.

“It’s an amazing honour to have my artwork displayed the 2017 one-dollar coin and this will make my memories of Canada 150 that much more special for me and my family,” said Wesley Klassen.

“I chose images that are in one way or another connected to the railroad, for which all Canadians can be forever grateful, and I’m touched that my design appealed to so many of them.”

“As the country looks forward to marking Canada’s 150 birthday next year, the Government of Canada is pleased that the Mint has given Canadians a taste of celebrations to come by unveiling the designs that will change the face of our 2017 circulation coins,” said the Honourable Bill Morneau, Minister of Finance.

“These coins will stand the test of time as memorable keepsakes of a milestone in Canadian history.”

“From the artists who shared their vision to the people who voted for their favourite designs, Canadians showed how much Canada means to them,” said Sandra Hanington, President and CEO of the Royal Canadian Mint. “The My Canada, My Inspiration coin design contest captured heartfelt expressions of the spirit of Canada and the Mint is proud that our 2017 circulation coins will give Canadians new stories worth holding onto as they celebrate Canada 150.”

Drawing on childhood memories of family vacations, Wesley Klassen chose to celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary by illustrating the iconic engineering achievements which dominate our landscape from east to west — all of which is connected by railroad.

His reverse design of the 2017 $1 circulation coin features landmarks such a the Lion’s Gate Bridge, a prairie grain elevator, the CN Tower, Quebec City’s majestic Chateau Frontenac Hotel and an East Coast lighthouse.

On March 11, 2015, the Mint launched a national contest invit-

ing the public to create new designs for a 2017 circulation coin series celebrating Canada’s 150th anniversary from five theme perspectives: Our Wonders, Our Character, Our Achievements, Our Passions, and Canada’s Future.

After the public cast over one million online votes, Mr. Klassen’s design won the popular vote among five finalists in the running for the coin celebrating Our Achievements.

The finalists in each category were determined by the Royal Canadian Mint and a panel of notable Canadians.

The winning design per category was selected by Canadians in an online vote which took place in September 2015. Each 2017-dated circulation coin denomination will feature one of the winning designs and Canadians will be able to find these coins in their change next spring.

The Mint is also launching an extensive collector coin program in celebration of Canada 150.

Listen to yourself and know the signs of a gambling problem Responsible Gambling Council (RGC) focuses on the importance of paying attention to how gambling makes you feel during Problem Gambling Prevention Week, which ran in the Counties of Frontenac, Lanark, Leeds, Grenville, Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry from Oct. 31 to Nov. 6.

Mixed feelings about your gambling, such as guilt, anxiety, or frustration, are important early warning signals. According to the RGC, listening to yourself and knowing the early signs are essential to detecting and dealing with a potential gambling problem – before it becomes serious.

RGC research shows that approximately 3.4 per cent of Ontarians have a moderate to severe gambling problem. This means that about 11,500 adults in the Counties of Frontenac, Lanark, Leeds, Grenville, Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry are estimated to be negatively impacted.

Many of these people think they will win big. The truth is that some will gamble to the point that they damage their finances, relationships and health. Problem gambling can be financially and emotionally devastating for the individual involved and the most important people in their lives.

During Problem Gambling Prevention Week, RGC is urging people to listen carefully to how they feel about their gambling and creating awareness of the emotional and behavioural warning signs. The week-long educational campaign includes tips on how people can take direct action to protect themselves and get free, confidential help.

Smiths Falls’ Stan Lasenba retiring after 45 years in Scouting

BY IRIS WINSTON

Stan Lasenba has been a committed member of the Scouting movement in Canada for 45 years. It all began in Quebec in 1972 when his son Earl’s cub troop was short of leaders.

Lasenba volunteered to help out.

“You might say I was ‘voluntold,’” he says with a smile.

When the family moved from Quebec to Smiths Falls, young Earl proudly told the leader of his cub troop there that his father was his Akela.

(The Akela, the symbol of wisdom or den/pack leader in the cub program is named after the wolf in Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Book.)

“After that, they soon came after me and I’ve been involved ever since,” says Lasenba. “A lot of people get into scouting because of their kids, but once you are involved and start reading about scouting, you realize all that it includes and you believe in the program. I liked the old aim of helping the development of the youth mentally, spiritually and physically. It was easy for everyone to understand and follow. Nowadays, the mission statement includes more gobbledygook. All scouting is really about is getting kids to have fun and be better.”

With that in mind, scouting was a family affair for the Lasenbas in the late ‘70s, he adds, as his wife, Jean, and daughters Brenda and Sherrill,

Smiths Falls resident Stan Lasenba, above, is set to retire from the Scouting movement. He has been a committed volunteer with the organization since getting involved in Quebec in 1972 when his son Earl’s cub troop was short of leaders. were part of the Girl Guide movement, while he and Earl continued in the scouting program. For Lasenba, a longtime Bell employee, scouting has remained a major part of his life since 1972. During what became a stellar

career in the movement, he has held such major offices as district commissioner and assistant regional commissioner, as well as planning training programs and training many of the leaders in the area, and also running

regular camps for more than 30 years.

In addition, between holding numerous offices, he has led assorted cub troops and been a Beaver leader.

“That was when my grandson, Kevin, was a Beaver. He’s 27 now,” he says, adding quietly that he was also involved in the scouting movement in the Mississippi district where his grandson lived and served as president of the organization there. “And I kept on training and helping run the camps, too.”

Over the years, he has been honoured as the Smiths Falls Citizen of the Year and is included in the recreational hall of fame for his services to Scouting. He has also been awarded the Silver Acorn, one of Scouts Canada’s highest awards for “especially distinguished service to scouting.”

He will be retiring from the movement next year, in part, he says, because, at 77, he wants time out to enjoy retirement (between involvement with the local branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, regular curling and playing duplicate bridge) and, in part, because he is not comfortable with the current direction of the movement.

“Scouting has changed to the point that I am not sure I believe in it any more,” he says. “It’s moved too far from what (Robert) Baden-Powell (founder of Scouts) believed in. He always said it should be a volunteer organization, but these days, too many

decisions are made by the paid staff.

Having boys and girls together at the cub level also bothers me. Boys of eight to 10 are so far behind girls of the same age that mixing them makes it hard to co-ordinate activities properly.”

“My motto has always been, you’ve got to have fun or don’t be there,” he adds.

So, in the fun department, Lasenba can be found on Tuesday afternoons playing bridge with partner Keith Anderson, Smiths Falls Royal Canadian Legion Branch 95 past president, at the legion, as a member of the Smiths Falls Duplicate Bridge Club. For further information about the club, contact Don Grant at 613-283-7164.

History of Scouting • The trigger for the Scouting movement was a youth camp, held at Brownsea Island in England in 1907.

• Lieutenant General Robert Baden-Powell, recognized as a hero for his role in holding Mafeking during the Second Boer War in South Africa until the siege was broken, organized the Brownsea Island camp as part of the research for his book, Scouting for Boys.

• Earlier, while he was stationed in India, Baden-Powell had published Reconnaissance and Scouting (1884), See LASENBA page 33

However, some insight will be provided for anticipated future energy price increases that have been requested by Ontario Power Generation.

After gaining an understanding of what contributes to your electricity costs, Jeff Goodman will lead a presentation on energy efficient choices for the home.

Here we will consider how your choices can save you electricity (money!) and often improve comfort.

Insulate yourself not just from the cold, but from the impact of electricity price increases in the future. We will discuss easy changes and lifetime costs for bigger purchases.

a reference work about military scouting. Some 12 years later, in collaboration with his friend and army colleague Frederick Russell Burnham, the American-born Chief of Scouts for the British Army in Africa, he began work on Scouting for Boys, a more general book on scouting based on his military experience.

• The original goal of the Scouting movement was to support the physical, mental and spiritual development of the youngsters involved, to encourage them to play constructive roles in society, with a strong focus on the outdoors and survival skills.

• In 1909, the first Scout Rally, attended by some 11,000 youngsters, was held at Crystal Palace in London.

• When Baden-Powell retired from the army In 1910, he formed the Boy Scouts Association. By the end of the year, it numbered more than 100,000 members.

• The program initially focused on boys aged 11 to 18, but as the movement grew, programs for younger and older boys were added: The Cub Scout and Rover Scout programs were added over the next few years. As the movement grew, Sea Scouts, Air Scouts, Beavers (for the very young) and other specialized units were added to the program.

• Baden-Powell encouraged others to take leadership roles through developing the Wood Badge course in rec-

Girl Guides • The Girl Guide movement, headed by Baden-Powell’s sister, Agnes, was formed in 1910, at the request of some of the girls who had been at the Crystal Palace rally.

• In 1914, Agnes Baden-Powell, as the first president of the Girl Guides, started Rosebuds (later known as Brownies) for the younger girls. Later Ranger Guides were added for the older girls.

• In 1918, Baden-Powell’s wife Olave was named Chief Guide for England. By 1930, she was the World Chief Guide.

Scouts Canada • The first scouting groups were started in Canada in 1907/1908.

• Baden-Powell is believed to have asked Earl Grey then governor General of Canada, to organize Scouting in Canada • In 1914, a branch council of the Boy Scouts Association was established in Canada under the Boy Scouts Association’s overseas department.

• Scouts Canada offers programs for young people, male and female, aged five to 26. Its aim is “to help develop well-rounded youth, better prepared for success in the world.”

• Scouts Canada, in affiliation with the French-language Association des Scouts du Canada, is a member of the World Organization of the Scouting Movement.

Local musicians enjoy country pickin’ mayhem at the Cove in Westport Ever notice how, whatever you’re doing, let’s say playing golf, gets better when you’re doing it with skilled players? You tend to try harder to keep up, often improving your play.

I’ve witnessed the same thing many times, with seasoned musicians being put together onstage and recently had this phenomenon realized, yet again, watching “Country Pickin’ Mayhem” at The Cove in Westport.

“Country Pickin’ Mayhem” combines Steve Piticco and Wendell Ferguson, both multi-winning, Canadian Country Guitar Picker of the Year Award winners, cream of the crop veteran singer/songwriters, with fellow guitar picker, Shawn McCullough, who was nominated for the same award a few years ago. Together is just plain magic. Add fiddle playing, multiple award winner, Wade Foster, and backed by the stellar rhythm section of Mark Lemieux on drums and Roch Lafleur on bass and you’ve got a package that will blow the minds of any venue attendee.

No egos, the love of playing drives this ensemble, each taking turns sharing their own written material, the other musicians stepping up to add their piece to the puzzle, all adding up to a primo sound. They also give renditions of classic country and pop tunes that, in their time, will have you laughing or crying. As I stated before, playing in this grouping seems to en-

Walsh Doctor Gregory Joseph Walsh

July 2nd, 1953 November 2nd, 2016 A remarkable human being succumbed with dignity and courage on November 2nd, 2016 to brain cancer.

Greg was surrounded by close family at his beautiful lake front cottage, a place so close to his heart. He touched many lives as a caring physician, family man and friend in a way that we will never forget. He leaves behind his beloved Arlene, who was his angel here on earth and who provided him with such loving care. Greg was the cherished father of Laura and Emily Walsh and dear stepfather to Bradley and Katie Alford. He was the devoted son of the late Theresa and Patrick Walsh of Ajax. Greg was loved brother to Colleen Walsh (Matt Kojder), Kathleen Walsh (Philip Kienholz), Joanne Williamson (Malcolm), Barbara Walsh (Larry Grawbarger), Maureen Kerr (Kelly), Brian Walsh (Dorothy), John Walsh (Sylvie), Michael Walsh (Nancy). Brother-in-law to: Dan Cameron (Brenda), Bernadette Cameron (Colin), Elaine Cameron (Bill), Louise Kidy (Zak), and Judy Cameron. Greg was also an uncle extraordinaire to his many nieces and nephews. Greg obtained a Bachelor of Physical Education from McMaster University in 1977 followed by a Bachelor of Education from Queen’s University in 1978. He went on to achieve a doctorate degree in family medicine from McMaster University in 1982. He served as an associate professor of family medicine at McMaster University and more recently at the University of Ottawa. Greg’s vocation as a family doctor spanned over 30 years and took him from Chesley to Oakville, to Lanark, where he practiced medicine for almost two decades at the North Lanark Community Health Centre.

Greg was known for wearing “magical glasses” through which he could only see the good in people. His mission was “to meet people where they are in need” and in so doing, make the world a better place. Greg was a storyteller and always the life of the party. He loved planning activities and celebrations for the extended family to have fun together. Greg saw life as a wonderful adventure. Truly we are all privileged to have had Greg in our lives, although his time here was cut far too short. God bless you and keep you. Friends were received at the Blair & Son Funeral Home, 15 Gore St., West, Perth on Sunday November 6th, 2016 from 12:00 Noon until 4:00 P.M.

DOWDELL, Della – November 13, 2015 The moment that you died, Our hearts split in two, The one side filled with memories, The other died with you.

We often lay awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon our cheeks.

Remembering you is easy, We do it every day, But missing you is a heartache, That never goes away.

We hold you tightly within our hearts, And there you will remain, forever.

STANLEY – In memory of Madeline Stanley, loving wife, mother and grandmother, whom we lost 15 years ago, November 13th, 2001.

“Your Mother is always with you.

She’s the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street.

She’s the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick, the fragrance of life itself.

She’s the cool hand on your brow when you’re not feeling well.

She’s your breath in the air on a cold winter’s day.

She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colours of a rainbow, she is Christmas morning.

Your mother lives inside your laughter.

She’s the place you came from, your first home, and she’s the map you follow with every step you take.

She’s your first love, your first friend, even your first enemy, but nothing on earth can separate you not time, not space… not even death.”

-Unknown

PUBLIC WORKS MANAGER OPPORTUNITY

NOTICES

Ministry of Transportation (MTO) Class Environmental Assessment BTE is initiating an MTO Group C Environmental Assessment (EA) for potential intersection improvements at Highway 7 and Crampton Road in accordance with the requirements of the Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities (as amended in 2000) document. The study will examine intersection improvements to accommodate new residential development access. This study will also assess the previous Wilson Creek Subdivision Phase 2 Traffic Impact Study which recommended a new left turn lane to serve the development site.

The need and justification for the intersection improvements comes from the approval of the municipal subdivision for Wilson Creek Subdivision Phase 1 and Phase 2. The EA process will: confirm the design criteria for the intersection; generate alternatives; document the environmental inventories; evaluate the alternatives and recommend a preferred alternative; define a mitigation plan; and, prepare an Environmental Screening Document to present the Recommended Plan.

There is an opportunity at any time during the EA process for interested persons to provide comments. Copies of this notice in the form of a flyer will also be distributed to the residences in the Wilson Creek Subdivision and to residences within one kilometre of the intersection along Highway 7 and Crampton Road. Should you have comments or questions, you are encouraged to contact the individuals listed below.

Breathe in, breathe out: Drummond kids seek peace through mindfulness breathing in and out, in and out, holding their hands on their stomachs.

"Everything kinda calms down," she said. Then, the children "start labelling their thoughts," she said. "It's great that they get it."

They also practice "heartfulness, or generosity, how it impacts on others," she said, and describe their feelings.

One girl said that she felt like, "I had bubbles in my stomach."

BY DESMOND DEVOY

Man setting foot on the moon, the Chicago Cubs winning their first World Series since 1908, and kindergarteners sitting still and being quiet.

Three things many people thought they would never see in their lifetime.

But there the kindergarteners were, sitting quietly, cross-legged, eyes closed, hands on stomachs, listening to their breathing, in Kate Gover's kindergarten class at Drummond Central School on Wednesday, Nov. 2.

Dr. Alia Offman, whose son Finn is in the class, has been coming into the classroom twice a week for 15-minute sessions, with 16 lessons spread out over eight weeks, to teach mindfulness to the youngsters, which the Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines as "the practice of maintaining a non-judgmental state of heightened or complete awareness of one's thoughts, emotions, or experiences on a moment-to-moment basis."

Back at the school however, Offman has more practical considerations to be mindful of. Firstly, 15 minutes "is about all they can take before the giggles begin," said Offman, during an interview in a side office just before this, the 11th class. She has seen how mindfulness works in her own life.

Above left, from left, Cameron Kirkham, Kaylia Ricardo, and Brycen Horne, close their eyes and feel their stomachs during a mindfulness exercise in their kindergarten class at Drummond Central School.

"I started on my own mindfulness journey four years (ago)," she said. "It had such a benefit to me." It was shortly after the birth of her second child, and "I had been a yoga teacher about 10 years ago and I had no interest in it (mindfulness)," at that time. To her, paying attention to her breathing "seemed like the worst idea in the world." But then she began having children, and she

took a mindfulness course at the North Lanark Community Health Centre in Lanark village.

"This is the right time and place," she thought during those classes. It allowed her "to parent and not lose my mind 24/7. It makes everything a little bit easier."

She decided to bring the "Mindfulness Integrated Training" into her son's school, call-

ing it an "excellent, excellent curriculum." However, would it play with the kindergarteners?

"I was still skeptical, to see what these four-year-olds are capable of," she said before entering the classroom.

The exercise begins in a circle, with one child chosen to ring a bell. This signifies the start of a minute or two of deep breathing, with the children paying attention to their

Class time On this day, after young Ella Ireton uses a wooden gong to ring the bell, Offman starts asking questions, picking up on the responses of the students.

"How do you know you love Wednesday? How does it feel inside your body?" she asks, following along with the students' line of thought. "It feels like hot dogs inside your body?"

The children then go into their peaceful pose, little noses scrunched up in concentration, eyes squeezed shut, some lips pouting out a little, as hands rest on stomachs.

Later, she asks the class to "think of someone you really care for," she said.

Thinking about that person, "makes me feel light," she said. "Sometimes things inside of us can feel bad, and that's all right too," she said. "It can help us share with somebody else."

Shortly afterwards, Ms. Gover keeps the conversation going after Offman leaves the room.

"Wasn't that an important lesson from Alia?" Gover asked. "What were some important lessons?"

"Say nice things to everyone, not bad things to everyone," said one boy.

Doing good things also rated highly, from making your bed to being nice to ones siblings to picking up toys.

"We feel calm inside. Doesn't it feel very peaceful after we've met with Alia?" asked Gover. And if you start to feel anxious, "you can take your mindful breaths."

Next steps Back out in the hallway, Offman said she believed the class went rather well.

"It's amazing that they sat that long," she said. "It wasn't like that at the beginning."

Offman said she hopes that teaching children these coping levels early enough will pay dividends later on.

She teaches as a contract instructor at Carleton University, "I see the impact that anxiety has on students and this is why I volunteer to teach mindfulness at the grade school level. Social and emotional development for children is a passion of mine," she wrote in an Oct. 18 e-mail. She claims that mindfulness has been "shown to increase attention/focus and decrease emotional reactivity." She would like to see more schools offer this type of training to their students.

"I have seen first-hand from my private practice, and with the students, the real difference this work can make in people's lives," she wrote, referring to her at-home practice near Drummond Centre, and her one-day-a-week practice at the Elliot Street Clinic in Perth.

Back at the school, she said that she has seen another parallel between her kindergarten kids and her patients: "We're talking about the same things," she said. "You will still feel anxious.

But you don't have to feel bad or retreat."

and Complete Application CONCERNING A PROPOSED OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT AND ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 21 & 34 OF THE PLANNING ACT, R.S.O. 1990. C.P.13 TAKE NOTICE that, in accordance with the provisions of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, as amended, this notice is to advise that the Town is proceeding with updates to its Official Plan and Zoning By-law to implement the Mississippi-Rideau Source Protection Plan which are being processed under Official Plan Amendment File # D09-AC-01/16 and Zoning Amendment File # D14-AC-03/16.

A PUBLIC MEETING will be held by the Planning Advisory Committee of the Town of Perth on Monday, December 5th, 2016 at 5:00 p.m., in the second floor Council Chambers Room, at the Town Hall, 80 Gore Street East, Perth Ontario, to consider site specific amendments to the Official Plan and Zoning By-law 3358 in accordance with the provisions of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990.

THE PURPOSE of the proposed Official Plan Amendment is to add policies and schedules to implement the MississippiRideau Source Protection Plan (SPP) which was approved by the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change in 2014 and came into effect in January of 2015. The purpose of the Zoning Amendment application is to update the By-law to ensure conformity to the Official Plan and the approved Source Protection Plan (SPP), pursuant to the Clean Water Act. THE EFFECT of the proposed Official Plan amendment would be to implement the SPP within the Town of Perth through land use planning policies and mapping in order to limit the impact of development on surface water sources that supply municipal drinking water. The proposed amendment would add a new text section (5.10) and modifications of three sentences in other sections to the Town of Perth Official Plan and introduce a new map overlay schedule delineating vulnerable source protection areas within Perth. The amendment includes the fact that a Risk Management Official (RMO) will be required and may review development applications within source protected areas as part of the technical review process. The effect of the Zoning amendment application would be to implement the Source Protection Plan through recognizing restrictions on development established by the SPP within the vulnerable areas.

THE LANDS AFFECTED by the proposed amendments encompass all lands northerly of Dufferin St. (Highway #7) excluding the meadow’s subdivision and the south-east portion of highway #7 and County Road #511 intersection. The key map below indicates the approximate location of the lands affected by the proposed Official Plan Amendment and the Zoning By-law Amendment in relation to other lands within the municipality.

ANY PERSON may attend the Public Meeting and/or make written or verbal representation either in support of or in opposition to the proposed amendments. If you wish to be notified after a decision regarding the amendments has been made, you must make a written request to the Corporation of the Town of Perth.

Please note that as a result of recent amendments to the Planning Act established through Bill 73, Official Plan and Zoning amendments that are implementing the policies of a Source Protection Plan approved under the Clean Water Act, may not be appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board.

Additional information may be obtained between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. weekdays in the Planning Department at the Town Hall. Please call in advance to ensure staff will be available to provide information and assistance.

HOSPITAL From front page

During the question-andanswer session following her speech, McFarlane was asked if the creation of a walk-in clinic, like the one in Carleton Place, would help alleviate the pressures on the emergency rooms in Perth. While admitting that "sitting in a waiting room is not best for care," she said a walkin clinic would be a "luxury" that they could not afford - and which would then impact on the continued survival of the emergency room, as numbers might go down, affecting the ability to justify keeping it open.

There have been changes at both campuses of the hospital that have resulted in what McFarlane hopes is seen as more patient and family-centred care.

"Have you seen a visiting hours sign?" McFarlane asked.

They no longer exist. "We don't have visitors." Family members and close friends are allowed at all hours now. For example, a spouse coming in to help his wife eat her breakfast at 7 a.m. would help his wife recover faster, and would relieve some of the pressure on the nursing staff. In the past, the system "was focussed on 'How do we make this efficient for the system?'" and not necessarily efficient for the patients.

McFarlane has also founded a Parent and Family Advisory Council, which discusses some weighty subjects.

"It's not always about the food!" she joked. "Every agenda, things get a little meatier...We can't survive without a community that is behind us."

Further to the council and the changes to visitors, patients are also being included in discus-

sions about their care.

"If we talk about Ms. Smith while Ms. Smith is there...hopefully, she can say, 'Oh, I'm allergic to penicillin,'" said McFarlane.

She wants to make sure "that you are a partner in your care...you become part of that care planning."

Even with this council in place, McFarlane was asked if there was any one that people with concerns could talk to, faceto-face, about the hospital.

"My personal bias is that you talk to me," said McFarlane, "100 per cent of the time, we are not perfect."

As for physician recruitment, McFarlane said that it has to start early - very early, as far out as current high school students.

"Physician recruitment is not something you can do intermittently," said McFarlane. Identifying the needs in 10 years means identifying high school students, and what forms of medicine they need those interested in medicine to study. "Hey, we need internal medicine specialists...There are some specialist needs coming down the road."

She said that the hiring of a physician recruiter is complementing the work done by the Perth physician recruitment group of doctors.

Another change that McFarlane says is coming in the field is that of statistics, from demographics to efficiencies.

"We are in an area where demographics are not in our advantage," she said. She pointed to Brampton, northwest of Toronto, where there is high population growth, while much of Lanark County faces stagnant population growth, at best.

Other data streams are being used to make sure that patients

"It came as a bit of a surprise," she said, especially the part of the old bill which "may have taken away the viability or long-range planning that a board could do," she said. Though Bill 210 died during the prorogation at Queen's Park earlier this year, "the Ministry (of Health and Long Term Care) listened. That language that had hospitals concerned was removed," from Bill 41.

McFarlane said that there was still much more work that needed to be done, especially to connect people with family doctors. If a patient does not have a family doctor, "all of your health care is piecemeal, through an emergency room," said McFarlane. She also wants to see a more seamless transfer of patients and their accompanying medical information between hospitals and other bodies.

"Make sure that the information transfers with you," she said.

"It should be seamless for the patient."

New location for CP Rail’s Holiday Train when it steams into Perth on Sunday, Nov. 27

Eighteen years and going strong, the CP Rail Holiday Train will once again bring live performances to Perth on Sunday, Nov. 27 at the Herriott Street CP Rail Yard.

Before reaching Perth, the Ontario leg of the tour starts in Finch, followed by Merrickville and Smiths Falls. The Perth show will round out the night with the train then heading to Belleville for a 9 a.m. Monday morning show.

CP Rail sends out its annual holiday train in support of food banks across North America.

In Perth, The Table Community Food Centre will reap the benefits from this musical locomotive.

CP Rail encourages spectators to bring their heart healthy, non-perishable donations of food and cash.

Hugh Colton will be in attendance with his annual Build a Mountain of Food campaign float.

Mayor John Fenik, and Ramsey Hart, executive director at The Table, will join CP Rail representatives on stage when the train pulls in, for a cheque presentation, after which the musical entertainment will start.

This year’s line-up is comprised of BC rock and country singer/songwriter, Dallas Smith and The Odds. Smith won a Juno for his country album of the year, Lifted, in 2015. Also, the same album took album of the year at the CCMAs. He has scored hits in both genres with Lifted and Cheap Seats, Wastin’ Gas and most recently, Kids With Cars.

The Odds are no strangers to the Holiday Train, having made the trip in 2009 and 2010.

They are a fun Canadian alternative rock band with a power pop style, originating in Vancouver in 1987. They boast such hits as Eat My Brain and Someone Who is Cool. The Odds bring liveliness to the train that is entertaining.

The CN Holiday Train pulls into Perth on Nov. 27.

The annual stats from Food Banks Canada website indicate that in March 2015, 582,137 people used a food bank in Canada with onethird of them children. That’s 1.3 per cent higher than the previous year and 26 per cent higher than in 2009, before the global financial crisis.

In Ontario, the number of users topped 358,963.

Fenik attends the event each year in Perth and has been instrumental in having the train visit Perth as often as possible, particularly at night when Perthites can enjoy the lights of the train as it passes through. He encourages residents and visitors to come out and enjoy a great concert, bring an item for the food bank and donate to the local cause.

The youth and staff at YAK (Youth Action Kommittee) have offered a hand in orchestrating the night’s events, and have offered their nearby washrooms for visitors.

Organizers say they are happy with the new location of the train stop – the east end of Herriott Street in the CP Rail Yard. The new venue means road closures are not required, with ample parking nearby and easy access to everyone.

Safety is still of the utmost importance and as

such, spectators will not be permitted on the tracks and the show can only be seen from the west side.

Life as a pie chart

ometimes my to-do list scares me. OK, often it does. I love making lists. I’ve mentioned before that lists help me to feel as if I am getting stuff done. I am THAT person who might populate a list with things like “make a list” so I can strike it off right away. Yes! Done! Woohoo!

Lookit how awesomely organized and efficient I am!

Lists (as well as calendar reminders) are becoming more and more necessary in my life as my brain is filled with other people’s minutiae, too.

It’s a bit ridiculous.

I have reminders about taking glucosamine that pop up at the same time as reminders for short people or cats to take pills. Sometimes, after forgetting to run a particular errand eleventy times (cat food!), it gets promoted to a phone reminder – flashing lights and sounds.

Occasionally I crave a phone reminder for when I walk into a room and can’t remember why.

There’s a great big giant thing that isn’t on my current to-do list but should be: Putting away the patio.

I hate that sad job.

I don’t need my phone to remind me. I think of it every time I look out the kitchen window into the backyard, which is rapidly looking a lot more like late autumn than it was.

Every year I struggle with this chore. I like to wait to cut things down in the garden until they truly are no longer green. For example, I still have tall, spindly greenish aster stalks leaning precariously into the yard.

They’re a bit crispy and their purple tops have been brown for a long time, but they stay. I finally chopped down the peony bushes this weekend after the leaves had deteriorated to yellowish brown and soggy.

It really is time to let this go.

I don’t mind raking. That’s a longlasting chore that helps me to procrastinate from putting the rest of the garden to bed. So many leaves! Taking such a long time! Oops…got too dark to do anything else!

Eventually, though, I pay for this silly procrastination. It’s called “frostbite.” Whether I like it or not, the days are getting cooler, and undoubtedly the weekend when I have time to finish these outdoor chores will be when it’s minus fifty with a windchill of a kabillion.

On Sunday, I half-heartedly raked

near the patio and contemplated tidying up and stacking the chairs and covering things with the big ol’ blue tarp reserved for winter patio furniture protection.

Then I sat in one of the chairs and considered the blue sky and the sorta greenish things and the many yellow leaves and the chickadees sipping water from the bird bath (not frozen yet!) and I knew it was going to be at least another week before anything got covered with the blue tarp.

In fact, I started wondering if I should keep a folding chair just inside the shed door in the winter. Perhaps I could clear a wee spot in the general vicinity of the patio and plop the chair there and sip coffee from a thermos all winter. You just have to make sure you are properly dressed for the weather, you know.

Or maybe I could take up ice fishing.

I wonder if I would need to put a reminder in my phone or make a list to ensure that I actually went outside and did these things? (My hands get really cold in the winter now. It might not be top of mind to solicit coldness.)

After abandoning any thoughts of putting away the patio for at least another week, I returned inside to peruse my to-do list. One of the items is to re-do the office supply shopping list I had been accumulating for months. Apparently I thought it would be clever to leave the list in the pocket of a sweater.

Laundry: Done. Oops.

Is that two steps forward and one step back? Or just one and one?

Whatever. “Help kid with math homework” was also on the list.

There’s probably some algebraic formula or tables and graphs to determine the success of my various lists and reminders over certain specific time periods. I am sure if “x” equals “winning at to-do lists,” it would turn out to be a negative number.

I bet there’s a colourful pie chart that could be applied to all this. I like pie best of all.

Macdonald book recalls high school hijinks

I

found my voice, by using Norm MacDonald’s voice.

Back in high school, after a less-than-great time in the intermediate grades of elementary school, I started to come out of my shell. In September of 1994, in Ms. Esvelt’s Grade 9 English class, I did a radio presentation instead of an actual presentation in front of the class, because of nerves. I was so nerved up as the old cassette tape played, replaying my voice recorded in my basement room the night before, that I lay my head down on my desk to wait for it to be over, to wait for the reaction. It was an interview with the Grandmother from Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin In The Sun (1959)... as done by myself on CBC Radio’s As It Happens, complete with the theme music, Moe Koffman’s 1969 jazz song “Curried Soul.”

Working from one cassette tape onto another - very basic, ghetto, old school editing, pressing pause and

DESMOND DEVOY Des Says play, etc. - I rolled tape on the hosts introducing themselves. “I’m Michael Enright,” he intoned, before I hit pause on one tape, and leaned down to the microphone: “And I’m Desmond Devoy.”

Then, I lifted up the finger, throwing back to Enright: “And this, is As It Happens.”

(Not surprising that I would later go into radio, though, I’m glad to say, I had a producer to help me out with the editing thereafter!)

As I grew braver - and was able to lift my head off of my desk - I took on other personas though, interestingly, seldom playing myself. Sure, I dressed up in drag as Joan Rivers, but the first

impression, the best impression, was of a fellow Canadian - Norm Macdonald, whom I worshiped for his work as the Weekend Update host on Saturday Night Live.

I remember standing in front of the class in that portable in Brampton, head cocked slightly to the right, my right hand rubbing my chin, trying to recreate Norm’s nervous laugh, then launching into his intro: “I’m Norm Macdonald and now it’s time for the fake news...” I was trying to do something with The Merchant of Venice as narrated by Macdonald, I think.

Not sure how well it went over, but, boy, did I enjoy it. Macdonald showed, time and again, on talk shows and SNL that he really didn’t care what anyone thought. As a teenager who was a complete wash-out with girls, nervous and uncertain, being Norm for a few moments was the

COLUMN From page P8

perfect antidote.

I tried, a few times, on Sunday morning, to replicate Macdonald’s jokes to my dad, but something got lost in translation. Maybe it was his Irish upbringing, maybe it was a generational thing, but he’d look at me and ask, “How is that funny?”

(I can imagine my dad up by the wireless radio in Dublin now, as a child, listening to Harry Secombe, Peter Sellers, and Spike Milligan, on the Goon Show on the BBC Home Service in the 1950s, chuckling away, as my grandfather, looking over the top of his copy of the Sunday Express, mutters “How is that funny?”

My sister, Dympna, often asked the same question of one of my mother’s favourite shows, America’s Funniest Home Videos. Guess it runs in the family - my mother disliked Norm, calling him a bloody eejit - Irish slang for idiot. But he was mine. Just mine. I didn’t have to share him.)

By 1998, I had actually plucked up enough courage to ask a girl out to a movie, and, lo and behold, what movie should it be but Norm’s first movie, Dirty Work. Working as a high school intern at the Mississauga Business Times that spring, my editor, Rosalind Stefanac, gave me two free tickets to the Toronto premiere of the movie she had

been sent along by a public relations firm.

While the movie has gone on to become a cult favourite, needless to say, this first outing with myself and this young maiden was to be our last. Now, how much of this was because she didn’t like the movie or didn’t like me, I’ll never know. Maybe it was a combination of “I’m just not that into you,” meets “How do you think this is funny?”

Either way, it’s better we found out sooner rather than later.

(She later moved to Vancouver, prompting my friend Paula to say, “She couldn’t get far enough away from you!”)

I’ve been thinking of Norm a lot lately as he has a new book out (Based On A True Story: A Memoir), and has been doing the rounds of interviews, including one

very funny one on CBC Radio One’s Q, with their great new host Tom Power.

(Believe me or not, but I remember Power guest hosting Q after Jian Ghomeshi’s firing. I told my wife that they should hire him - he clicked right away for me.

I knew that the CBC brass would have preferred Aboriginal broadcaster Wab Kinew - my guess is he turned them down, taking up a better offer from the Manitoba NDP to run, and later win, a provincial seat in Fort Rouge. They went with the affable, if untested rapper Shad. I was eventually proven right.)

One of the many clips Power and company played from Norm’s time on American television came from a 1998 appearance on Conan O’Brien’s old Late Night show on NBC. I remember watching that episode, many hours after my parents expected me to be in bed, and still remember it now, the interaction between Norm and fellow guest Courtney Thorne-Smith. She had a new movie coming out, a comedy, in which she played opposite the comedian Carrot Top. She asked him if Norm even knew what the movie was called. His answer? “If it has Carrot Top in it, it should be called Box Office Poison.”

Thorne-Smith replied that it was actually called Chairman of the Board.

“There, make fun of that,” she said, and resumed

talking to Conan. After a pause, according to the Urban Dictionary, he interjects saying “I bet ‘board’ is spelled b-o-r-e-d!”

Back in the 1990s, before YouTube, if you missed something on TV the night before, well, it was gone, out in the ether man. I remember watching it, but was amazed that others found it as funny as I did at the time.

Hearing his voice on air now, a little older, a little slower, I was reminded that Norm is still full of surprises - and, increasingly, pleasant ones. According to a February 2015 story in Maclean’s magazine, the hockey fan - who famously, during interviews, would get reporters to believe that he had played for the Ottawa 67s in the Ontario Hockey League - paid tribute to the late Montreal Canadiens star Jean Beliveau, and the ailing Gordie Howe, on Twitter.

His words were like poetry.

“Ice is beautiful but hard,” he observes, before launching into some of the most beautiful words I’ve ever read about hockey: “When you skate, there is no earth, there is ice, ice your feet never touch. When you skate, you soar above the world and do not touch it. I need to find a rink, now, and skate, and forget.”

How is this funny? It’s not. It’s beautiful.

Thank you Norm for helping me find my voice.

A few years ago I came across an item at our family farm along the Upper Rideau Lake near Westport that stirred up memories for me. It was a World War II duffle bag inscribed with the name, identification number and rank of my uncle, Walter H. Mulville.

His discharge papers and the medals he was awarded indicate that his volunteer service in the Canadian army (1942-46) had been spent in the United Kingdom, Italy, France, Germany and Holland. The canvas kit bag had accompanied him during those years of terrible conflict and suffering.

Walter’s duffle bag served my generation too, though in a very different way. After the war he returned to our home village

of Westport, where he became postmaster. Some years later, when I began to play minor hockey, he gave me the bag to use for my hockey equipment.

I now wonder what memories would have surfaced in my uncle’s mind when he saw me carrying the bag, with his name and identification number prominently displayed. The army bag had been a silent witness when he and so many others had carried the burden of physical and moral suffering in defense of freedom. The same bag, used by me in recreation, remains a reminder to me to appreciate more fully the benefits we Canadians enjoy, thanks to the efforts and sacrifices of my uncle and so many others.

Those who had faced down the enemy helped make it possible for the rest of us to be free -

free to live, free to play hockey, free to believe, free to practice those beliefs. It is a freedom purchased at a great price, a peace still fragile and in much need of defense in our own day.

My uncle seldom spoke of the war, a reticence common among those who shared its horrors. The upcoming Remembrance Day services will provide opportunities for each of us to come to a deeper appreciation of the struggles and hardships endured by the Canadian military and others, as seemingly inch by inch they fought, and still fight, to protect and liberate others.

“We will remember them.”

As hundreds of us stand at the Perth cenotaph in front of the Great War Memorial Hospital (or in similar settings) this November 11, the familiar

refrain - “We will remember them” - will be proclaimed with conviction by military personnel and veterans, as well as by members of the Royal Canadian Legion and similar associations.

We will remember those whose sacrifices made such a difference in the world. We will remember them in prayer. We will pray for the countless victims - past and present, living and deceased - of war, terrorism, persecution and oppression. And we will pray for the peace that we Christians believe is possible only through Jesus, the Prince of Peace and Saviour of the world.

“We will remember them.”

In the Catholic tradition, the entire month of November, the “Month of the Holy Souls” is a time of remembering - especial-

ly in prayer - those who have gone before us in death (see 2 Maccabees 12:46).

I, too, am praying for all who have died, and will be mindful in a particular way of my uncle Walter. He succumbed to cancer in 1970 at the age of fiftyeight. A man of faith, he faced death as he had faced life, with unselfish good humour and much courage, strengthened by prayer and the sacraments. He knew that Jesus would see him through his last days on earth, even as He had enabled him to meet so many other challenges along the way.

I was privileged to be at his bedside, along with other family members, virtually day and night during the last week of his life, as well as at the moment of his death. Throughout those days, especially near the

end, I experienced something I had never before felt with such intensity - the tangibly warm, loving and comforting presence of the Lord.

Jesus was making it obvious to me that He was standing very close to Walter during his last battle (see 1 Corinthians 15:26, 55-57), perhaps an indication of His special care for all who valiantly give of themselves in the cause of peace, justice and freedom.

During these often-grey days of November, let us take time to remember in prayer not only the living but also those who have died, including our own relatives and friends, as well as the victims of war and violence in every era. “We have loved them in life; let us not forget them in death.” (St. Ambrose)

Perth and District Historical Society: The Roles of Church and Legion in Perth For the Nov. 17, 2016, meeting of the Perth and District Historical Society, we have two presentations: A look at the roles of first the church in early Perth and then the Legion.

Our first presenter will be our chair, John Fowler.

Fowler was born in Perth in 1935, the sixth generation of his family to live in Perth since 1816. Following his attendance at the local schools, he studied chemical engineering at the University of Toronto before transferring to Trinity College, and graduating with a B.A. in Modern History. He then attended Oxford University where he read Theology where he graduated with his B.A. and then M.A. in 1961 and 1962, respectively. He obtained his D.D. in 1980 from Trinity College. He was ordained in the Anglican Church in 1961, serving as an Anglican minister until retiring in 2000.

Since returning to Perth, he has been involved with heritage issues, serving on various boards – Museum, Inge Va, and Heritage Advisory Board. He and his wife, Hilary, live in Perth.

Fowler’s talk will cover the development of church life in the early days of Perth within the context of the society and culture of the new community, with reference to his own family in the town from 1816 to the present.

John Gemmell, our second presenter, will follow Fowler’s talk.

Gemmell has had a career of service to Canada – 14 years in the RCN and 27 years in the OPP, retiring

as sergeant in 2007. Further service has been on Perth town council (councillor and present deputy mayor) and warden of Lanark County.

He is an active member of the Perth Legion, serving as president (and past president), first vice president, chair of the branch executive, and curator of the Hall of Remembrance Military Museum. He, and his wife Anne, live in Perth.

Gemmell will cover the origins and a brief history of the Royal Canadian Legion, leading to the local branch, Perth-Upon-Tay, with a special reference to the wonderful Hall of Remembrance.

There will be a military memorial video of fallen

comrades, continuing the theme of Remembrance Day. A display of several artifacts from the Hall relating to Perth’s history from a military perspective, and described by Gemmell, will be included.

We are pleased to be continuing our anniversary year partnership with the Perth Legion, Lake 88 and Maximilian’s Dining Lounge. This month’s meeting will have another free draw for a $25 gift certificate, courtesy of Maximilian’s, for those attending the meeting. We also appreciate the continuing support of this paper.

The Perth and District Historical Society is

dedicated to learning about and popularising our history. The meetings are open to the public, on the third Thursday of each month, at 7:30 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion, Perth-Upon-Tay, Branch 244, home of the Hall of Remembrance, 26 Beckwith St. E. in Perth. The usual “Toonie Fee” applies for each meeting. For information, contact Ellen Dean at 613-264-8362 or David Taylor at 613-264-0094. Our website at www. perthhs.org has additional information about items of interest related to Perth and district.

Since the dawn of ancient civilizations, the sound of a ringing bell was a signal that something important or out-of-the-ordinary was about to occur; the ship’s bell, the dinner bell, the school bell, the fire bell, and the church bells. In our fair town of Perth the church bells of all denominations tolled the advent of the 200th anniversary celebrations. It seems only fitting then, that as the year draws to a close, there will be a concert at St. Paul’s United Church hosted by the Handbell Choir.

The hand bell dates back in history to China in 1600 B.C. although bells of various shapes and sizes are found all over the world. Our “Bells of St. Paul’s” arrived in Perth in 1992 through a concerted effort of the music committee and the official board at St. Paul’s and a New Horizon’s Grant. Almost 25 years later, due to efforts of past ringers and directors such as Mary Young and our current director Ann McMahon, our hand bell choir has 12 ringers and play three plus octaves. Each ringer plays three or four bells, three or four hand bells, as well as demonstrates various new techniques such as martellato, gyro, malleting, and echoing to mention a few. Many of these techniques will be demonstrated at the concert, which will also include guest musicians, Peter Woodwark, the St. Jimmie’s Four, Val Leavitt, Beth Misener on cello, Barbara Bolte on Oboe, Angus Edmunson and Oliver Mathews Hanna on guitar, and Alyssa Lafreniere and Saige Cuniffe singing.

Come on out and make this concert a historical ending to our 200th anniversary celebrations, Nov. 20, 3 p.m.

Admission is a free will offering at the door.

The company will report back to council in 2017, with a list of projects that it feels need to be acted upon.

I am writing this letter after completing the survey on the UCDSB website for Accommodation Review. I felt that this small task might not be enough to save our local school Maple Grove, so I decided to sit down and write this letter.

I have been sitting back waiting to see how our school and community may try to save our school and have The Royal Canadian Legion has a great responsibility to foster and maintain the tradition heard lots of complaints but no sugof Remembrance in Canada. The prime reason for the Annual Poppy Campaign is the gestions on how to actually come up opportunity to remind Canadians of the debt owed to the more than 116,000 Canadian men with a plan.

I have been reading the articles in and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice during service for Canada in World War 1, World the local paper stating that you have War 2, the Korean War, many United Nations Peacekeeping operations (Middle East, South received very few e-mails regarding East Asia, Indo-China, Pakistan, The Congo, Cyprus, Tanzania, Somalia, Ethiopia, Rwanda, this issue but as I found your e-mail is not the easiest to find which may be Central America, Bosnia, Kosovo), the Persian Gulf War, the war in Afghanistan and other the reason for the lack of e-mails. I relocations throughout the world. The conclusion of the 2015-2016 Annual Poppy Campaign alize that the schools are empty and was on 30 September 2016.

If we close down Maple Grove and the By-Laws of The Royal Canadian Legion.

be able to do door to door campaigns that teach these children the importance of helping their community.

One example of this is the annual “We Scare Hunger” where the Grade 5/6 students go through the village handing out flyers to collect donations for the local food bank and return the following week to collect items the community has decided to donate. If the students are no longer able to do this they lose their sense of helping, which as we know is getting harder in today’s lifestyle. If these students move to Drummond they also lose the safety which is close by with the fire department and paramedics both within five minutes, if there ever was a true emergency.

Not to mention what happens when these students lose their afterschool sports program offered by the NLCHC. These students enjoy this program and for many it is the only opportunity they have to play on a team and experience sports first hand.

To me it’s a simple answer: put French Immersion in Maple Grove and bring our students back to Lanark and let them experience everything our small school, and village has to offer. If we lose our school it’s not only the community that loses but our children as well.

Sincerely Cassaundra Bell Lanark

Blue Wings coach says they deserved to lose against Winchester Hawks

BY LAURIE WEIR

ljweir@metroland.com

The Perth Blue Wings took one on the chin Friday night as they lost a scrappy CCHL Tier 2 game to the Winchester Hawks, 7-4, breaking their 10-game win streak.

The game was marred by a bunch of penalties, including a couple game misconducts handed out in the second period.

"Friday was the very first game this season we deserved to lose," said coach Michael McLean, who added that Winchester was out to win this game.

"Winchester outworked us and was better prepared to compete. You get what you earn in sports and life - and on Friday we deserved to lose."

McLean said he was "disappointed in the effort and performance of our entire team," with the exception of goalie, Cameron Scott.

"I thought we really let Cameron down allowing seven goals against when we have the best goals against in the entire CCHL2."

McLean said it was one of those games, "you

just turn the page on" and forget. "It was that type of night."

Winchester held a 4-1 lead after the first period with goals from Evan Bellefontaine, Diego Gagnon, and Erik Starcevic, before Perth could get past their netminder, Kevan Dumouchel, a former Blue Wing.

Perth's Mark Vanderzyde had the Blue Wings only marker of the first period, when he scored at 8:04 with help from Alex Vala.

Winchester gave it one more shot with Franco Gagnon's shorthanded marker, unassisted, at 13:52.

In the second, it was all Perth as the Blue Wings tied the rally with goals from Ryan Shaw, Noah Fisher and Mack Miller. Assists were from Alexandre Ferraton, Adam Church, Jake McArthur, and Gabriel Laurin with a pair.

Then things started to unravel, as Perth's Church and Winchester's Jonathan Dutrisac were handed fighting majors and game misconEvelyn Harford/Metroland ducts.

BLUE WINGS From page P15

chester with Christophe Lemay scoring the game winner with 12:52 on the clock. He also scored the team's final empty-net marker, but not before Gagnon had his power play goal with 15:52 on the clock.

Perth 4 Westport 2 McLean said he thought the team rebounded from their bad loss Friday and showed "great character" on Sunday, as they responded with a 7-4 win over the Westport Rideaus.

"Good teams do not lose multiple games in a row," he said. "The guys won and started a new streak."

McLean said the Blue Wings played hard for 60 minutes, focusing on winning 75 shifts and playing "our game."

Jonathon Peacock was solid in goal, and "we had a total team effort," said the coach. "I was impressed by the large crowd (almost 300) on hand Sunday."

Peacock faced 31 shots for the win.

Perth's Cameron Scissons started the scoring in the first period with the only goal of that frame. He was assisted by Noah Fisher and Vanderzyde at the 11:21 mark.

In the second, Vala put the Blue Wings up by two with his power play goal from Church and Austin McKinty.

Westport responded in the second with Graham Sheets scoring on the power play with help from Blake Kettyle and Brock Boisclair.

In the third period, Perth's Ryan Shaw got things going with an unassisted goal at 4:56, but Westport replied with Simon Corriveau's goal just three minutes later.

Scissons wrapped up the Blue Wings scoring

Evelyn Harford/Metroland

Westport Rideaus, Blake Kettyle, and Perth Blue Wings player, Ryan Shaw, face off at Sunday afternoon’s game, where the Blue Wings took home a 4-2 win. with his goal from McArthur and Shaw at 13:55 for the 4-2 final.

Next up This weekend, the Blue Wings will have two home games, including Friday night when they host Prescott at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday afternoon, they entertain Alexandria.

"We need to continue to work hard and improve our game in practice," McLean said. "I believe a team plays like it practices - so proper practice to me is critical."

The coach said he needs to get the boys to "stick to our process of focusing on the game and not the other team, the score, referee, etc.

Win 75 shifts and everything seems to take care of itself."

Fifty plus shots on nets will get the team at least five goals per game, he said. "Strong team defense will lead to strong team offense."

Congratulations to the following Rideau Trail Association (RTA) Central Club hikers for completing the Frontenac Challenge, which involved hiking 11 specified loops within Frontenac Park during September and October, for a total distance of approximately 135 kilometres.

Hikes ranged from 13 km to 27 km, including access trails in and out.

One member opted to complete the Frontenac Trek, which involved hiking six loops, excluding the two shortest trails. Not all hikers who joined the Central club outings were going for the Challenge or Trek, when there were 17 hikers enjoying the Cedar Lake Loop of Frontenac Park.

Jack Tannett A special thanks goes to David Batchelor for organizing and leading some hikes, and to Nancy Gaudreau who did the lion's share of leading, even doing extra hikes to make sure we all achieved our goal successfully.

While there were many reasons we took the Challenge: improving our fitness level; enjoying the magnificent fall colours and the wilderness wonders of Frontenac Park, enjoying the camaraderie of hiking with friends; testing our stamina and perseverance on the more arduous hikes; or simply receiving a badge and certificate at the end of it all, I am sure we are all glad we did it. We all have our favourite memories and some of us are now hooked and will be back taking the Challenge next year!

The RTA Central Club will continue to hike or snow-shoe throughout the winter on the Rideau Trail and other locations. Our hikes are planned for various ability levels.

If you are interested in hiking with the group, you are welcome to join us. Weekend activities usually take up to six hours (including travel time) while mid-week hikes are shorter and less demanding. If you wish to learn more about the association and its upcoming hikes, please visit our website at: www.rideautrail.org or call Mary Robinson, RTA Central Club publicity director, at 613-256-0817.

Perth's Ian Millar wins record 12th Greenhawk Canadian Championship title

Ten-time Canadian Olympian Ian Millar of Perth landed his record 12th Greenhawk Canadian Show Jumping Championship on Saturday night, Nov. 5, at the Royal Horse Show, held as part of the 94th Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto.

Millar returned last in the second and final round of the Greenhawk Canadian Show Jumping Championship on Saturday night, having posted the fastest clear in Friday night's opening speed round riding Dixson. Millar and the 13-year-old Belgian Warmblood gelding owned by Susan and Ariel Grange of Cheltenham, ON, repeated their flawless performance in Saturday's two-round final over tracks set by course designer Bernardo Cabral of Portugal.

"It's a lot of stress, that final round!" said Millar, 69, who has now claimed the national title a total of 12 times in his illustrious career. "There's no room for error, and that's what jumping it is all about. There was no option but to do what Dixson did."

Saturday night's victory marked an impressive comeback for Dixson after two sinus surgeries sidelined him earlier in the year and ultimately kept Millar from competing at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.

"In the years that I've been riding him, I've never jumped him indoors, but it was not an issue for him," said Millar, who last won the Greenhawk Canadian Show Jumping Champion in 2014 riding his London Olympic mount, Star Power. "It's great to have this quality of horse here at The Royal because we've got some serious competition coming at us next week in the international division."

Having finished second and third behind their father on Friday night, Jonathon and Amy Millar, both of Perth, remained in the top five following the final phase of competition.

Jonathon Millar and Bonzay, owned by Isotropic investments, finished on 4.46 penalties for fourth while Amy Millar incurred 8.42 penalties to place fifth riding Heros, owned by AMMO Investments.
