Carley takes over fundraising reins Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

News – There is a new fundraising coordinator at the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville chapter of the Canadian Cancer Society. Replacing Amanda Gifford is Anita Carley. She is no stranger to the society, or to fundraising or project management. A business administration graduate, the Merrickville woman parlayed her years of volunteering with the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life in Smiths Falls into a fulltime gig in September.

teer, and then last year I was on the Relay for Life Smiths Falls committee as team steward and fundraising coach,” she said. “I fell in love with Relay initially, I was a luminary volunteer and those moments pretty much made me fall in love with it.” She said she was able to learn a lot about the society through her volunteer work and was able to successfully apply for the position as fundraising coordinator for the chapter. She knew that Gifford had left the position Anita Carley “I got involved with Relay in the Perth office to go to the for Life as an event day volunSee CARLEY page P 3

Community – The eighth annual Build a Mountain of Food campaign is well underway throughout 11 communities in the next several weeks leading up to the holiday season, already shattering last year’s total by two tonnes. Hugh Colton of Town and Country Chrysler of Smiths Falls, is organizer of the event. He was on hand Saturday, Nov. 8 in Almonte and Carleton Place where a record number of food was collected. “We collected 15,087 pounds of food and $1,743.36 in cash donations,” said an elated Colton on Monday morning. “That’s two tonnes more than last year. It’s a great start to this food campaign.” The food collected in Almonte and Carleton Place was delivered throughout the day to the Lanark County Food Bank. The campaign was set up outside the doors of Patrice’s Independent Grocer in Almonte; Steve’s Independent Grocer, Giant Tiger and

Fresco in Carleton Place. A big seller this year is the prepackaged bags of groceries that the public can purchase for the food banks. The grocery stores are in collaboration with their food banks to see what kinds of items are needed. The Lanark County Food Bank’s manager Karen Nakamura was a huge help last weekend, Colton said. “She had board members out and volunteers manning all locations, and a volunteer driver. It was great.” This weekend, the Build a Mountain of Food moves to Lanark and Perth on Saturday, Nov. 15. From 9 a.m. to noon, they will be set up at the Lanark Highlands Thrift Store on George Street, with proceeds going to the Lanark Highlands Food Pantry. From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Perth stops will include Barnabe’s Independent Grocer, Brownlee’s Metro, Foodsmiths and Giant Tiger’s new location on Highway 7 – Saturday is GT’s grand opening. All Perth collections will be given to the Good Food Bank, part of the Table Community Food Centre.

Retired West Carleton veterinarian Dr. Roly Armitage, above, is shown tending to his Standard Bred horse ‘Armstead Page’ who will soon follow in the footsteps of her sister Armstead Kyra as a race horse (pulling sulkies). Armitage, a decorated veteran of the Second World War, recently released a book on his war-time experiences, The Way It Was and Now: My Journey. Right, Armitage is shown as a young soldier during the Second World War.

Area Second World War veteran releases book Jeff Maguire

Community – During his busy, productive life Roly Armitage has done so many things and accomplished so much that you would need to read a book about him to sort it all out. Fortunately, he now has that covered! The West Carleton native, who has enjoyed careers as a veterinarian, horseman, race track operator, airport general manager and local politician, has just released a book about his truly incredible life. Armitage, who turns 90 in February, is now holding book signings to formally launch the 160-page volume entitled, The Way It Was and Now: My Journey. But wait – what about the first chapter? His Second World War service with the Canadian Army in Europe. Armitage nearly missed the opportunity to accomplish everything that is outlined above. His brush with death in war-time France is just one of the interesting segments in the book. It was the end of July 1944, just more than six weeks af-

ter Armitage, a member of the Royal Canadian Artillery Third Medium Regiment, landed in German-occupied France on DPlus 12. That is 12 days after the Allies launched Operation Overlord (nicknamed D-Day) in Normandy on June 6, 1944. Armitage and his unit were part of the ultimately successful attack which pushed the enemy out of the city of Caen. That operation, which was originally supposed to happen on D-Day itself, took a month to accomplish. By late July the Allies had pushed the tenacious German defenders into a pocket near the town of Falaise, southeast of Caen. In what came to be known as the Battle of the Falaise Gap, the bulk of the German Army in northwest France was very nearly encircled and destroyed. As it was the Germans took a terrible mauling with tens of thousands killed or wounded in heavy fighting. But tens of thousands of others were able to wriggle out of the pocket and lived to fight another day. The Allies also suffered thou-

sands of casualties. Among the wounded was South March native Armitage. His regimental commander, Lieutenant Roy Pattinson a 25year-old native of Victoria, British Columbia, was killed during heavy shelling on July 29. Two days later the then 18-year-old Armitage and his comrades were ordered to dig in because another German artillery blitz was expected. In the book Armitage outlines what happened next. “We had been shelled several times and we were expecting more. I worked hard to dig a trench (fox hole) as deep and as long as I could. I remembered seeing a piece of tarpaulin lying on the side of the road not far away. I walked over to get it. I just wanted to put it on top and make the fox hole a little more deluxe and rainproof,” he said.

BOOK

in the company of his son Mick (a well-known Ottawa musician and promoter), he plans to attend the National Liberation Parade in The Netherlands and other observances marking the 70th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in Europe. On both previous visits he was billeted with the same French family. They have become very close. He hopes to introduce his son to them next year. Armitage’s war-time service in France has also led to a much deserved, but totally unexpected honour. Last week he received the French Legion of Honour Medal. He was unavailable for the formal presentation ceremony at the French Embassy in Ottawa. But the medal has since arrived by registered mail. “I received a phone call one day and they (embassy staff) asked if they could send me some papers to fill out. I did that and mailed them back. I never expected to hear anything again,� he said. Then came the phone call informing him he had been selected for the special honour. Armitage received the honour just weeks after the book on his life was released. It is the highest award presented to anyone who is not a citizen of France. “I feel very humble,� he stated. Based on the length and breadth of his accomplishments since the Second World War, the retired veterinarian has no reason to feel humble.

From page 4

R0012872706_0911

He dropped the tarp and sprinted toward his freshly dug fox hole. “When I got there two men were in my trench and I jumped in on top of them. I was pretty close to the surface and when a shell hit 30 feet away the blast blew me out of the hole. I received severe concussion damage (including a ruptured left ear drum). I do not remember any of this happening, so obviously a person could be killed and have no pain or suffering,� he remembered. Rushed to a first aid station by army medics Armitage eventually regained consciousness. “They were going to send me back to England but I said I felt pretty good and didn’t deserve that,� he said. He wanted to stay and continue to fight. “As a result of the blast I suffered permanent loss of hearing in my left ear and my right ear was also damaged.� However, the determined teenager was soon back in action. He fought with his unit through France, Belgium and Holland, ending the war in northern Germany when hostilities ceased in early May 1945. Armitage has been back to Europe twice to participate in victory parades and visit the war cemeteries where some of his comrades are interred. In June he was part of a national delegation, led by Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who attended ceremonies marking the 70th anniversary of D-Day. Next May, Father a veteran

He was born Feb. 8, 1925, the fourth boy in a family of eight. His father Godfrey was a veteran of the First World War. His father survived a German gas attack during the Second Battle of Ypres (in Belgium). But later he was critically wounded during shelling and was evacuated to England. There he met his future wife Joan (nee Foot) who was a nurse at the military hospital in Surrey, west of London. She came from a family of privilege. Her parents were Lord and Lady Drummond-Hay. In fact her father Sir Edward Drummond-Hay was once governor of the south Atlantic island of Saint Helena where Napoleon Bonaparte was exiled and eventually died. The young couple married and traveled to Canada with their first two children. They eventually added six more to their family. The oldest Maxwell died during a Second World War plane crash in Halifax Harbour. He was on submarine patrol with the air force at the time of his death in 1940. Another of Armitage’s brothers, Frank, also served in the army during the Second World War. After returning from his war service the young Roly met his first wife Mary (nee Spearman) a native of Stittsville. They were married in Stittsville United Church in 1947. She was the mother of his four children. He enrolled in the Ontario Agricultural College in Guelph, graduating in 1951 as a veterinarian. Dr. Roly Armitage

point he was an owner-drivertrainer as well as the head of mutuals (betting) at the track. “With the help of a publicist I was able to turn the track itself around and then we got the dining room (another problem area) sorted out,� Armitage said. “I operated Rideau-Carleton for 10 years, leaving in 1990.� Entered politics Armitage had also turned to politics. In 1987 he won the provincial Liberal nomination for the riding including West Carleton, the former Goulbourn Township and the then City of Kanata. In the ensuing election he was just edged out (a 350 vote difference) by veteran Progressive Conservative MPP Norm Sterling. After leaving Rideau-Carleton he ran for Mayor of West Carleton and won, serving one term before deciding municipal politics would not be his future. “I like to do things my way,� he chuckled. Instead he took on the task of managing Carp Airport. He used the same skill set which revived Rideau-Carleton to move the small airport forward and expand operations. He held the airport general manager’s post for 10 years. Armitage lost his beloved wife Mary to cancer in 1985.

Five years later he married for a second time. He met Karen, who was a neighbour, and despite a 24-year age difference he moved from friendship to courtship. “We had 23 years and we really did well together. We did a lot of traveling to Europe, Australia, New Zealand. All over the place. We also took several cruises with friends which we thoroughly enjoyed,� he explained. Karen died in July 2013 of a liver ailment. Besides his son Mick, the veterinarian turned author also has a son Donald, a daughter Ann and several grandchildren. His son Blake died accidentally in 1981 at the tender age of 27. At nearly 90, Armitage still lives in his own home. “I have a really good life,� he said, flashing a broad smile. Armitage says he feels good and is looking forward to the next chapter in his life, whatever that may be. “I have always kept busy and I intend to be just as busy in future,� he commented. For information about his book, The Way It Was & Now, visit the website http://www. rolyarmitage.com, call 613-2269178, or email Armitage’s son Mick at mickarmitage@sympatico.ca.

became one of the best known vets in western Quebec and eastern Ontario. His first practice was in Shawville, Quebec where one of his duties was to tend to the horses at remote lumber camps in the region. He was sometimes flown in by float plane and managed the health of up to 1,000 horses. It was that experience that cemented his love of horses which continues to this day. Armitage is still revered in Shawville where he recently held a well-attended book signing and has sold 175 copies to date. He was later appointed the vet at Connaught Park in Aylmer, Quebec which ceased racing operations in 2008. He bought his first race horse in 1955 and served as the Quebec representative on the Trotting Association of Canada board. He was president of the Quebec association from 1972-74 and later held the same post with the Canadian organization. Armitage relocated his practice to his native West Carleton and in 1981 he was appointed president of Rideau-Carleton Raceway in Ottawa, a harness racing and live entertainment destination. When Rideau-Carleton ran into financial problems he took over the operation of the facility on behalf of the receivers. At one

Lanark County OPP with the assistance of the Mississippi Tay Crimestoppers will attend the tree locations on Dec. 11 and return the gifts to the Lanark County Child and Family Services who in turn will ensure children/youth that have been brought to their attention have an appropriate gift at Christmas. Submitted by Lanark County OPP.

The Lanark County OPP distributed 570 Angel Tree tags on Nov. 6. One of the many trees is located at the Beckwith Township municipal office. Above right, seen here trimming the tree with tags are OPP Const. Greg Streng, Beckwith administrative assistant Kim Hallahan and OPP Const. Paige Whiting. Above, Mississippi Mills mayor John Levi helped hang tags at the municipal office with Whiting and Streng. Right, from left, staffers and politicians at the Drummond/ North Elmsley municipal offices in Port Elmsley share a laugh as OPP Const. Paige Whiting tries to wrap up a phone call to determine the age of a girl on one of the tags.

Community – It’s year 29, and as we approach nearly three decades with this program, it is a true testament to the generosity and Christmas spirit in Lanark County and the surrounding area. This year, the Lanark County Child and Family Services/Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Angel Tree program is starting off with 570 angels. With the program originally having started with 50 angels, and one small tree we continue to grow. The “angels� assigned to trees are children directly affiliated with the Lanark County Child and Family Services or other agencies also affiliated with the CAS and the goal is to provide a Christmas gift to each child. In the early years, the area municipal offices joined in on the program creating a lasting partnership. In recent years several area businesses including Albany, Eaton, Wowfit in Perth, Ladies Under Construction in Almonte, and the Lanark County Administration have participated with the distribution of angel tags. Two new locations that we welcome in 2014 are the Perth Town Hall and the Perth Hospital who will also host trees. Our OPP Eastern Region headquarters 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 Nov. 6 Angel Trees bearing Angel cards will be distributed for pickup to the following locations for persons to

We can do more to pay tribute

E

ditorial – It was heartening to see so many people turn out at or near overpasses on Highway 401 and 416 recently in honour of Corporal Nathan Cirillo. The Canadian Forces reservist who was murdered in downtown Ottawa on Wednesday morning. As his body was being driven home to Hamilton, many of us took time out of our schedules to pay our respects to a young man we never knew but whose death – as well as that of Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent near Montreal – touched our lives. Cirillo was trying to get his career off the ground, and Vincent was reportedly contemplating retirement. Both wanted to serve their country and ended up making the ultimate sacrifice; the fact they both lost their lives on home soil not that far from us and were targeted because of their service to Canada is what makes their deaths so jarring to most of us. As the country debates what to do

about security at Parliament Hill and other institutions of note, the public can take steps and do more to honour the memory of fallen soldiers. As grassroots efforts to help meet the future financial needs of their dependents continue, we can press our elected officials to ensure that governments will take care of the spouses and children left behind when military personnel and peace officers are killed because of who they are – not just in the line of duty. And not just the end-of-life expenses; lost future earnings must also be taken into account. It shouldn’t be up to patriotic and sympathetic citizens to support the families in their times of need; we can help honour fallen soldiers by taking steps to make sure that the state provides adequate short and long-term compensation to the people whose loved ones die because of the uniform they wore.

Everything we needed, other than the beds we slept in, was in that big kitchen and I looked around and for the first time, really saw the room for what it was. This was where our food was gotten ready for our meals...Mother’s bake table was beside the back door, close to a shelf Father had put up, covered securely with oilcloth where dishes were washed. There was no sink in the kitchen, but a small pump had been anchored to this shelf, which only rarely produced a dribble. This made us go out to the pump in the yard whenever we needed water, which seemed to me to merit a continuous trip with the granite pail, keeping the reservoir full, bath water

summer kitchen door was the wood box, close to the Findlay Oval. Standing behind the cook stove was a three-sided tin affair which was there to supposedly keep the heat of the stove from setting the wall on fire, and burning the place

Income splitting unfair and expensive DEAR EDITOR: Middle class families should not have to pay more to give wealthier families like those of MPs and cabinet ministers a $2,000 tax break.

in New York. The kitchen took a corner then, and there sat the big oak Barnett Ice Box, kitty-corner, which I thought gave the kitchen a nice touch. And then a long wall, broken up by a window looking out onto the grape arbour, held the old pine table, long enough to sit a dozen people. A bench, just as long as the table, sat under the window, and provided seating for the brothers at meal time. More chairs than we needed, sat around the rest of the table. This was the table that had more useful purposes than any other piece of furniture in the old log house. We ate at it, neighbours played euchre on it at the Saturday night house parties, we five children sat at it at night with two coal oil lamps, one at each end. Mother wrote in her diaries there, Audrey and I worked our way through Eaton’s catalogue, and my three brothers carved, played cards, whittled, and yes, fought like tigers. A flat pine door, which was never opened, led to the back room upstairs, whose only purpose it seemed to me was to offer me a smooth surface to draw on with stubs of chalk, and with orders that it had to be washed off

From page 8

concerned that such a policy would be expensive and unfair to most Canadians. “It benefits some parts of the Canadian population a lot, and other parts of the Canadian population virtually not at all,” he said. And he was right. The vast majority of Canadian families will receive no benefit from income splitting. Single mothers get nothing. Families in which both parents are in the same income bracket get nothing. The most needy and lowest income families get nothing. In fact, fewer than 15 per cent of Canadian households will benefit; 85 per cent will not. And for the few who do, the biggest gains will go to the wealthiest. At a cost of $2 billion a year, Mr. Harper is spending an awful lot of money to help a small and select group. Those who have been left out will question both the cost and the fairness of it all. Like the late Mr. Flaherty, they will wonder why Mr. Harper is re-distributing income to the more affluent. Canadians need a plan for jobs and growth. Mr. Harper’s income splitting plan does nothing to encourage economic growth or strengthen the middle class. Liberals oppose this policy, and we will continue to put forward positive solutions that will help our economy grow and give all Canadians a real and fair chance at success.

when I was finished. Another flat wall held Mother’s bake cupboard, an invention I thought was right up there with electric lights, and a real bathtub. This cupboard had a place for flour which seemed to be suspended from somewhere inside, and a door affair which could be rolled up like a wad of paper, vanishing into goodness knows where when she needed something out of the doors. Topping off the whole elegance of this cupboard was a white enamelled surface that could be pulled out to make the work surface larger. I

thought that cupboard was one of the best pieces of furniture in the entire house! Like every other kitchen I ever went into in Northcote, there was a creton couch, close to the stove. It served as a bed for my sister Audrey and me when we had company and had to give up ours. It was too narrow to sleep side-by-side, so we had to sleep end-to-end, which didn’t please either of us one bit! It would have made sense for Father to have his noon nap on the couch, but he preferred an old rocking chair, that no

Wainscotting circled the kitchen, and the only other window looked out onto the side yard with a ledge wide enough where Mother could put her geranium pots, when she brought them in in the fall. Braided mats of every shape and size covered the kitchen floor in the winter. My sister Audrey was right. Again! The kitchen was the nicest room in that old log house. And certainly the room that got the most use. It was a place for family fun, a place to fill

Serious silliness at Full Circle Theatre with Every Christmas Story Ever Told Arts – Take three well-known community performers, serious men in their middle years, men with deep, meaningful plays such as Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? on their resumés. Put them together on the stage at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre and tell them to perform Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some). Then get out of the way! This is BarnDoor Productions’ (BDP) second take on the play by Michael Carleton, James Fitzgerald and John K. Alvarez, after last season’s production proved hysterically funny and seriously under-attended. BDP have decided to bring the show back to allow audiences another chance to see David Bird, Joe Laxton and David Jacklin tear up the stage in the funniest, fastest and most nonsensical tribute to the holiday season ever put on stage. It all stems from Bird’s deep desire to perform Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, a story he has performed many times, including a one-man version. The other two members of the cast are not quite as enthusiastic and agree on a compromise: they’ll tell every other Christmas story first, then Dickens – if there’s time. The digressions include ev-

erything from Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer (or rather, for copyright reasons, Gustav The Green-nosed Reingoat), a few brief commercial interruptions, the Grinch, Frosty The Snowman, Christmas traditions around the world, a fruit-cake themed game show and much more, all performed by three people and all in about ninety minutes. Director Janice Jacklin, with more than 30 years experience directing everything from Sweeney Todd and God of Carnage to The Wizard of Oz, has decided that her part in this is not so much direction as refereeing: blow the whistle and see what happens. When the dust settles, she picks the best of the freefor-all and adds it to the comedy pile. The result is nonstop fun. There’s music, of course; in fact, Every Christmas Carol Ever Sung. There are Christmas ghosts and a Christmas goat. There are grumpy old misers and tiny little Whos. There’s even an inflatable beagle in a Sopwith Camel and, you know, nothing says Christmas like a beagle in a Sopwith Camel. Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some) is a great family show, with fun for young and old, although we recommend those with a still-unshakeable

faith in St. Nick be left with the baby-sitter (no matter what their age). Not only is it entertaining, it’s educational: did you know that naughty children in Spain are told they will be abducted by a Santa dressed all in black who will carry them off to Holland – and that children in Holland are told they’ll be taken to Spain? Makes you think. In fact, the show does that – makes you think. In between the laughs and the fun, there’s an interesting little thread of thought about the place of Christmas in today’s world. Just a little thought – enough to give you pause before the next piece of silliness brings the laughter back to the fore. It’s just the ticket to generate the holiday spirit. CD release concert In the meantime, Smiths Falls native Kate Weekes returns to the area just in time for the release of her new CD, Frost on Black Fur. Her CD release concert at Full Circle Theatre on Nov. 22, beginning at 7:30 p.m., will also feature special guests Grant Simpson and Conspiracy of Sound. Tickets are at shadowfax.on.ca. And, BarnDoor Productions will hold open auditions on Monday, Nov. 17, beginning at 7 p.m. for their February show, the

multiple-award winning August: Osage County. This astonishing piece of theatre (and it’s a comedy, by the way) needs a cast of seven women and six men, so BDP encourages veterans and newcomers alike to drop by Full Circle Theatre next Monday night.

Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some) will run at the Full Circle Theatre (Perth’s only ground-level, barrier-free theatre), 26 Craig Street, Perth, Nov. 28, 29 and Dec. 4, 5, 6 at 8 p.m. and Nov. 30 and Dec. 7 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 reserved and $22 at the door. Children and

Having ‘the talk’ with your parents Remember the anxious moments and uncomfortable feelings you experienced when you had ‘the talk’ with your kids? Well, you’re going to have them again – even though the topic is decidedly different – because it’s time to have “the talk” with your parents. That’s right – you need to talk to them about their health and financial issues while their health allows it and they can be fully involved in making decisions regarding their living arrangements, level of care, and estate planning. Don’t wait until a crisis occurs that can reduce their estate planning options and increase costs – do it now! Here are some tips for getting “the talk” going: • Offer an opening – your parents may be waiting for an opportunity to have this discussion; you can provide it. Your role is to be a supporter and information gatherer. • Use ice-breaking strategies like offering help with their estate and retirement planning. • Keep in mind that your parents want and need to maintain their independence and dignity. • Listen – try to understand their fears and anxieties. Focus the conversation on your parents’ health and well-

Manage Your Money being and your love and concern for them. Here’s what you should include in the discussion: • Sources of income – including any changes in monthly income should one of them die. • Investments – as well as beneficiaries for their registered investments. • Expenses – will their income (including government aid) cover their expenses as they are likely to escalate with age? • Insurance – what coverage do they have; are there holes that need to be filled? • Existing wills – have they designated personal representative (executor/ liquidator) to wind up their affairs and distribute their assets according to their wills? • Enduring powers of attorney for property (in Québec, mandates in anticipation of incapacity) – be sure they have appointed someone to make financial decisions on their behalf should they become incapacitated. • Powers of attorney for personal care, living wills, health care directives – be sure they have appointed

someone to make personal and health care decisions on their behalf should they become incapacitated. • Location – know where their wills and other legal papers are kept; know the location and content of their bank accounts and safety deposit boxes. Having “the talk” with your parents can be difficult but it is also necessary. To be sure you take full advantage of the many financial and estate planning strategies available to your parents, suggest adding a professional advisor to your ‘planning’ team. Your advisor can also add valuable outside perspective as well as easing the awkwardness of ‘the talk’. This column, written and published by Investors Group Financial Services Inc.

Canadians too are showing more signs of patriotism relative to our military. Tuesday’s Remembrance Day observances at the National War Memorial in Ottawa were more emotional than usual in the wake of the recent shooting there. I’m sure that was the case in most communities across the country. Lest We Forget! If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at jeffrey.maguire@rogers. com.

example. Many monuments Despite the fact Vermont is second last in the U.S. in terms of population (Wyoming has the smallest number of residents) and is the sixth smallest state in land area, it stands with the best when it comes to war memorials. In fact small communities in Vermont often outdo what I have seen in other American states. During our visit two weeks ago we did what we always do. We looked for more covered bridges to add to our life’s lists. By way of explanation, Vermont has the most covered bridges per square mile in the U.S. At last count just over 100 are still in use across the state. A number of other historic bridges remain but are either out of service or they have been moved to private property. One day we took an enjoyable driving tour through Vermont’s mountainous, picturesque Northeast Kingdom. Along the way we crossed Jay Peak, just south of the state’s border with Quebec. Jay Peak is one of the most popular ski resorts in the American northeast. Earlier we made a return to the quintessential Vermont village of Craftsbury Common, 26 miles northeast of Stowe. The latter town is always our headquarters when we visit Vermont. Craftsbury Common is one of four unincorporated villages which make up the larger Town of Craftsbury. Large it isn’t – there are just over 1,000 people living in an area of 39.3 square miles. Craftsbury Common is where the late, great British director Alfred Hitchcock filmed his classic 1955 comedy, The Trouble with Harry. The village features wonderful 18th and 19th century houses, a church with a spectacular steeple and a school house which would have worked well in Hitchcock’s more popular film The Birds. The common is also home to Craftsbury’s war monument. In the centre of the village are three memorials to all the citizens of Craftsbury who served in wars from the American Civil War (1861-1865) to more recent conflicts such as the Korean War (1950-1953) and the war in Vietnam. Tiny Craftsbury had nearly 150 residents who served during the Civil War and the monument shows eight never returned. In World War II there were 101 from the small district in the armed forces and four were killed. A quick check of the town’s website shows there is a permanent War Memorial Committee in place to ensure the monuments are maintained. Presumably they also update the records as residents continue to serve their country.

Cedar Creek all of which occurred in Virginia in 1864. The three cairns are neatly aligned with the local church. The stars and stripes fluttered in the breeze behind the Civil War marker. Americans are sometimes criticized for their shows of patriotism. But when you see how dearly they hold the memories of their war veterans, even in the smallest locations, it is easier to understand their attitude and their sense of pride. I am pleased to see that

the nearby bridge we returned to have a look at the war memorial. There are actually three different ones of varying sizes which list the names of those from Coventry who served in the Civil War, the Spanish-American War (1898), two world wars, the Korean War and the war in Vietnam. Once again we were amazed by the large number of veterans who hail from a town which has just over 1,000 people residing in it today. It covers a sprawling 27.7 square miles. Towns in the U.S. are often like townships in Canada. It was a rainy, windy, cold day and I didn’t take the time to count all the names engraved on the monuments. The largest and the one with the most names is the Civil War memorial which is one of the most impressive such monuments I have seen in a small American community. Donated to the town in 1912 by a benefactor the Civil War statue is topped by the figure of a Union soldier leaning on his rifle. The engraving highlights several major battles of the four year conflict including the pivotal engagement at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania in 1863 along with the Battles of the Wilderness, Cold Harbor and

Reflections

Approximately 20 miles north of Craftsbury Common is the village of Coventry. The locals pronounce the name CAHV-intree. You can bypass it on U.S. Route 5 on the way north to the larger town of Newport on Lake Memphremagog. I’m sure most people do just that. We discovered Coventry on our way to the Orne Bridge which is located on a dirt road just southwest of the hamlet. The covered bridge, which was originally built in 1879 or 1881 (records vary), was destroyed in an arson fire on Halloween night 1997. Ironically we visited the bridge the morning after Halloween 2014. The bridge was rebuilt in 1999-2000, keeping faith with its original construction. The first bridge was one of the few Paddlefordtruss bridges in the state. Paddleford-truss bridges are found only in New England and feature a criss-cross, open sided concept invented by Peter Paddleford of New Hampshire (1789-1859).

Lifestyle – Besides my columns related to the world wars and veterans the biggest response I receive from you, the reader relates to my articles on travel. Sometimes those themes go hand in hand and this is one of those occasions. My first duty this week – and to me it is a duty – is to thank Canada’s veterans for their incredible commitment and sacrifice on behalf of all of us. This column will reach you following Remembrance Day. But because this is the ‘Week of Remembrance’ I want to pay tribute once again to all of our veterans and especially those who made the supreme sacrifice. I say again because on Tuesday I was among the crowd at the cenotaph in Carleton Place, as I am every year, to honour the more than 90 men and women from our community who lost their lives during the First World War, Second World War and the Korean War. It is a Nov. 11 commitment I intend to keep for as long as I am able. At the same time I want to extend the same thoughts to veterans and their families in the neighbouring United States. My great uncle Jack Hardy, from Detroit, Michigan, served in the U.S. Army during the Second World War. He has been gone for many years. However, when we visit with his son Gary, my cousin who still lives in Detroit, the subject of the war and veterans inevitably comes up. Hardly surprising considering that Uncle Jack’s brother Fred, a native of Chatham, Ontario was killed in action fighting for the Canadian Army in Italy in 1944. In our family remembering veterans and their sacrifices is a timeless commitment.Throughout modern history Canada and the U.S. have been firm allies. We fought for the same cause during two world wars. Today we stand shoulder to shoulder in the battle against Islamic extremists who are known by the acronyms ICIL or ISIS. Because of this campaign both countries are a target for domestic terrorists, homegrown or otherwise, as we experienced so brutally in Ottawa on Oct. 22. The shootings in our nation’s capital remained a topic of conversation as we headed to New England for several days at the end of October. We were accompanied by our good friends and regular travel companions Frank and Wendy LeBlanc. Frank was a career soldier and after serving 30 years in the Canadian Army he did a second, 17-year tour of duty as a civilian employee at National Defence headquarters in Ottawa before his retirement. During our trips it is mandatory that we stop at virtually every war memorial we encounter. Yes, we have visited a lot of war monuments during our travels. Our recent visit to Vermont was no exception. Like most Canadian communities American cities, towns and villages all have a war memorial. Even the tiniest place is likely to have a cairn listing those who have served their country and those who died. Vermont is a good

Family fun as Jack and the Beanstalk production comes to The Station Theatre this December Arts – The Smiths Falls Station Theatre is busy preparing for the upcoming holiday season with what is proving to be an annual tradition: the production of a pantomime with appeal for the entire family. This year’s production is Ben Crocker’s adaptation of Jack and the Beanstalk, complete with side-splitting gags, dancing and familiar songs. The pantomime opens with the wicked Giant Blunderbore terrorizing the land and poor Jack and his mum being hit with hard times. Trying to make ends meet, the family decides to sell their beloved cow, Daisy. When Jack comes home from selling her with gold coins that turn into worthless beans, the magic really starts. First-time director Emily Duberville says “the casting just fell into place with the appearance of some old hands as well as some new faces.” Mike Adams is returning as the Dame, a male cast in a female role in the best tradition of the English pantomime. His extensive experience in comedies in local theatre, gives Jack the thrust that keeps the hilarity rolling along. He’s joined by other highly amusing and talented principals. Bethany Duberville, who “acts because she loves it” is cast as the Princess. She’s had numerous parts as a chorus member over the last five years, but this is her first lead role. Nick Ritchie, another local talent, playing the Giant, has had previous roles in The

Ghost Train Cinderella, Cactus Flower and Rough Magic. Nicki Hayes, a recent graduate of Canadore College’s theatre arts program, joins the cast as Flunkit. Nikki most recently had a role in Funny Money and co-directed Educating Rita. Jenny Jasiak, age 15, has been cast in the leading role of Jack. Although young, Jenny has much experience within the theatre; in fact she’s been in 15 plays in total, four of them pantomimes. Among some of her larger previous roles are Diana Barrie in Anne With An E and Maria the Maid in The Heiress. Heather Mitchell Adams who plays Edena The EcoFairy is excited about the part she is playing and is very much looking forward to her first production. Shawna Merkley and Sheila Jasiak will be strutting their stuff as the front and back end of Daisy the cow. In the British style of panto everyone is expected to join in the fun—heckling the villains and urging on the good guys. Sometimes the actors give back as good as they get! All this hilarity will be supported by two chorus groups—the villagers and the ever funny cockroaches—who keep up a commentary on the antics of the main characters. This year’s production will run on the evenings of Dec. 4, 5, 6, 12, and 13 at 7.30 p.m. There will be two matinee performances on Dec. 7 and 14 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 for adults and for students (with ID) $10, with special group rates also

available. Call The Station Theatre at 613-283-0300 for details. Tickets can be purchased at Special Greetings, 8 Russell St. East, Smiths Falls, cash only, from our website (smithsfallstheatre.com) via Paypal/Visa/ Mastercard, by phone at 613283-0300 via Visa/Mastercard, or at the door (subject to availability) half-hour before the performance—cash only. Jack and the Beanstalk is a play with great appeal for young people. And the children of Smiths Falls will have a chance to meet some of the characters they will later see on the stage in the town’s Santa Claus Parade on Nov. 22. It’s a kickoff to the holiday season and for this The Station Theatre will be entering a float advertizing the play. Cast members will be waving to the crowd and handing out little bags of jelly beans to help promote the production. The parade and the pantomime itself promise a good time for young and old alike. On the night before and the night of the Santa Claus Parade the Station Theatre has a treat for adults too. It is showing the excellent new movie Jersey Boys, a musical biography of the Four Seasons, which tells the story of the rise, the tough times and the ultimate triumph of a group of friends whose music became symbolic of a generation. Far from a mere tribute concert (though it does include numbers from the popular Four Seasons songbook), Jersey Boys gets to the heart of

eady o “ive n” o Volunteering?

the relationships at the centre of the group—with a special focus on front man Frankie Valli, the small kid with the big falsetto. In addition to following the quartet’s coming of age as performers, the core of the show is about how an allegiance to a code of honour learned in the streets of their native New Jersey got them through a multitude of challenges: gambling debts, Mafia threats and family disasters. The movie is directed by Clint Eastwood. Screenings are on Nov. 21 and 22. Tickets for Jersey Boys, sold only at the door for cash, are $10 for adults, $5 for students (with ID). We invite patrons to keep in touch with all our upcoming shows—outstanding plays, great movies, and special events.

Lifestyle – November is Diabetes Awareness Month and this year, the Ontario Pharmacists Association is reminding people of the role pharmacists play in managing diabetes effectively and safely seven days a week. Diabetes, a disease in which the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or the body does not properly use the insulin it makes, affects more than nine million Canadians. “People living with diabetes know how important it is to ensure they are appropriately monitoring their blood sugar and that they are taking their medications properly – in the right way, at the right time and at the right dosage,” says Dennis Darby, chief executive officer, Ontario Pharmacists Association. “Pharmacists play a critical role in helping patients with diabetes management, thanks to MedsCheck for Diabetes, a program funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, which enables any Ontario patient with type 1 or type 2 diabetes to participate in a free one-on-one consultation with their community pharmacist to optimize their care and treatment plans.” The MedsCheck program was launched in 2007 to leverage pharmacists’ knowledge and expertise in medication management by enabling them review their patients’ prescription and non-prescription medications, assess their use, appropriateness, and challenges, and answer any questions patients may have. In 2010, the Ontario Government added three new services to the MedsCheck program, including MedsCheck for Diabetes, MedsCheck at Home and MedsCheck for Long-Term Care. The MedsCheck for Diabetes program is provided specifically to Ontario patients living with type 1 or type 2 diabetes and is an opportunity to engage patients in a focused medication review that would also include

guidance on diet, exercise, weight management and foot and vision care, as well as education and training on blood glucose monitoring, the importance of management of other risk factors such as hypertension, high cholesterol, and tobacco use. And as with other MedsCheck services, the diabetes program will ensure that uses of your prescription and nonprescription medications are appropriate and that they do not interact with each other. “Pharmacists, as front line providers of primary health care, offer a wide range of services beyond dispensing that help keep Ontarians healthy and safe,” says Darby. “To celebrate Diabetes Awareness Month, we urge all Ontario residents living with to speak with their pharmacy team member to find out more about this program and how their pharmacists can help them receive the most benefit from their medications,” he continues. About the Ontario Pharmacists Association The Ontario Pharmacists Association is committed to evolving the pharmacy profession, and advocating for excellence in practice and optimum health care for all Ontario patients. As the largest advocacy organization, and continuing education and drug information provider for pharmacy professionals in Canada, the association represents more than 17,500 pharmacists, pharmacy students, and pharmacy technicians across Ontario. By leveraging the unique expertise of pharmacy professionals, by enabling them to practice to their fullest potential, and by making them more accessible to all Ontarians, OPA and its more than 8,500 members are working to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the province’s healthcare system. Submitted by the Ontario Pharmacists Association.

Province of Ontario re-introducing invasive species legislation News – Ontario is taking action to protect communities from invasive species through prevention, early detection, rapid response and eradication of invasive species in the province. On Nov. 5, Ontario will re-introduce the proposed Invasive Species Act, 2014 which, if passed, will protect the province’s natural environment from invasive species and the significant social, environmental and economic costs they pose for Ontarians.

“Invasive species pose a significant risk to our natural environment and our economy. This legislation would make Ontario a national leader in invasive species prevention and management. Working with our key partners, our proposed Invasive Species Act will serve as a critical tool in our collective fight against the growing threat of invasive species in Ontario,” said Bill Mauro, Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry.

The act, if passed, would: • Give Ontario the tools to ban activities such as possessing and transporting certain invasive species. • Allow the government to intervene earlier and enable rapid response actions, including working with partners to stop an invasive species from spreading — for example by preventing the movement of contaminated firewood. • Help promote compliance through inspection and enforcement measures.

Preventing the spread of invasive species supports the government’s economic plan for Ontario. The four part plan is building Ontario up by investing in people’s talents and skills, building new public infrastructure like roads and transit, creating a dynamic, supportive environment where business thrives and building a secure savings plan so everyone can afford to retire. Quick facts

• If passed, the Invasive Species Act would position Ontario as the first and only jurisdiction in Canada to enact standalone invasive species legislation. • Globally, invasive species costs to the environment, agriculture and communities, including control costs, are estimated to be $1.4 trillion — the equivalent of five per cent of the global economy and seven times the cost of natural disasters. • Do your part by reporting

invasive species sightings. Call the Invading Species Hotline at 1-800-563-7711 or email info@invadingspecies. com.

ENERGY TIP! Dress warmly when indoors. Lower your thermostat by two degrees. You could save as much as four percent on your heating bill.

Armed Forces feel Ottawa’s appreciation at Canadian Tire Centre with Senators fans Nevil Hunt

nevil.hunt@metroland.com

Sports – They came from every branch and in every uniform imaginable. In sharp-pressed dress uniforms with rows of decorations and well-worn camouflage fatigues, members of Canada’s Armed Forces were celebrated and thanked by Ottawa Senators fans on Nov. 8. The 11th annual Canadian Armed Forces Appreciation Day drew an unprecedented force of more than 3,500 men and women in uniform. The Senators players joined in, sporting that rarest of uniforms, the camouflage Sens jersey for the pre-game warm-up, and smacking their sticks on the ice and boards as members of the Forces were introduced before and during breaks in the action. Senators owner Eugene Melnyk and season ticket holders donated many of the tickets to the members of the Forces, and a good number brought family along for the game versus the Winnipeg Jets. Among the sharpest uniforms in the stands were worn by cadets from the Royal Military College

in Kingston. “It’s always nice to see people care for us,� said officer cadet J. F. Lizee, one of about 60 cadets who rode in buses to the game. Lizee, who is in his fourth and final year studying to become an electrical engineer, wore a dark blue uniform with gold epaulettes and buttons with red piping that stood out in the crowd. “It’s a great experience,� he said, adding it was his first Sens game. Lt.-Col. Shawn Luckhurst had a much shorter jaunt to the rink, as he’s based at Shirley’s Bay, on the edge of Kanata. He said the appreciation night is a morale booster for all members of the Armed Forces. “Certainly we love the support of the Canadian people,� Luckhurst said, adding that he’s seen that support in a visible way since the death of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo on Oct. 22 at the National War Memorial. “Flowers keep turning up at the war memorial,� he said. On the ice, a win by a Canadian team was guaranteed. The game went to a shootout before the Jets clinched two points in the standings.

Emergency Preparedness Communications in an Emergency Incorrect information may cause panic and unnecessary injuries during the time of an emergency situation. Lanark County and the Local Municipalities of Beckwith, Carleton Place, Drummond North/Elmsley, Mississippi Mills, Montague, Perth, Smiths Falls and Tay Valley will provide relevant information of emergency situations to all media outlets. The radio station Lake 88.1FM has partnered with Lanark County to provide information. The station is now equipped with generators to provide continuous radio signals and has increased the signal strength so that more Lanark County residents will be able to receive the messages. Be Prepared - Have a Plan.

Captain of the Sens Army, Erik Karlsson, and the rest of the Ottawa team sport camouflage jerseys during the pre-game warm-up on Nov. 8. They switched to their more familiar red jerseys for the game against the Winnipeg Jets and the camo versions were later autographed for auction.

Local climate change action leader Anita Payne arrives in LaFayette Park, Washington D.C. on Nov. 1, together with other marchers in The Great March for Climate Action. Greenrider, left, helped carry the banner part of the way. Payne will be guest speaker in Almonte on Nov. 20 (7:30 p.m. at Almonte United Church) as Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists’ natural history lecture series continues.

Climate change, implications for health and well-being at next MVFN talk to the health and well-being of the human race as well as our wildlife population? Is it too late to stop climate change? Can anything still be done?... We are all in this together and we all, in our own way, need to address the crisis created by climate change.�

“The debate involving the reality of climate change and global warming has been ongoing for many years.� Anita Payne Climate activist

For many years, Anita has been dedicated to the call for action to address the global crisis inherent in climate change, not just for future generations but for all life, now, on planet Earth, our only home. Her thought-provoking presentation will include not only the implications for human

health and the health of our natural world, but also what can still be done to avoid the worst consequences of climate change. She will share with us her recent experiences during The Great March for Climate Action in the United States, including a number of inperson meetings with ‘climate refugees’. From the information presented in this lecture, perhaps we will each discover a contribution we can make to help reverse climate change. Please join MVFN for this inspired presentation by Anita Payne. Refreshments and discussion will follow the talk. Free for MVFN members, or $5 at the door. For further information, please contact MVFN’s program chair, Gretta Bradley at glbradley@icloud.com. For all MVFN events and membership and other club information anytime, visit http:// mvfn.ca.

2015 GARBAGE AND RECYCLING SCHEDULES:

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

The 2015 version of your Garbage and Recycling Calendar will be delivered to your door mid-to-late December 2014. The new schedule will contain both North and South zone collection information for waste, organic and recycling streams. Anyone who requires additional copies or feels they have been missed in the delivery process may pick up a copy at Town Hall in late December.

PRACTISE COURTESY WHEN YOU SEE A FLASHING GREEN LIGHT: Since many municipalities in Ontario rely on volunteer fire fighters to protect their communities - 20,000 strong, in fact - the Ministry of Transportation has approved the display of green flashing lights on the dashboards of personal vehicles to use when volunteers are responding to a fire or medical emergency. In Lanark County alone, we have over 300 volunteers who respond to calls for help. The flashing green light is a courtesy light only that reminds motorists to pull over to the side of the road and let the fire fighter by. The light gives them no special treatment under the Highway Traffic Act. They must stop at stop signs and obey all other rules of the road. So if you happen to see a vehicle approaching from behind with a flashing green light, please pull over to the side of the road and let them by. They might just be heading to your home.

Simcoe-Muskoka office as volunteer engagement coordinator with the Canadian Cancer Society. When reached via email, Gifford said she enjoyed it in Perth. “I have thoroughly enjoyed my time working for the Canadian Cancer Society in Perth. It has been a very rewarding experience, all thanks in part to the dedicated volunteers, event participants and event organizers,” she wrote. “I have no doubt that Anita will enjoy her new role as fundraising coordinator.” Leanne Waddell is the manager for the local Cancer Society chapter. She said it is wonderful to have Carley on board. “She already had the experience that you have to spend the first month or two learning (once employed) so she was already ahead of game in that aspect,” Waddell said. “And she was involved with fundraising and with the daffodil sales. She already knew what to do… what our mission was and that really helped a lot.” The society is 100 per cent donor funded, “so every dollar that comes in (is) really important,” Waddell said. Unit fundraising events, like Relay for Life, the daffodil sales, golf tournaments and even Neon Night, a new event in Kemptville earlier this year, are projects that Carley will now oversee. “We’re launching a new campaign called ‘Pigs of Hope,’ and these little piggy banks will be available for purchase at WalMart in Smiths Falls, Brockville and in Perth at Barnabe’s Independent

Leanne Waddell and Anita Carley of the Canadian Cancer Society, Lanark Leeds and Grenville branch, roll out a new fundraising program called Pigs of Hope. The initiative is one to help alleviate costs for the Wheels of Hope program, which is the society’s transportation program. The piggy banks can be picked up to help a sponsor a family at participating stores including Barnabe’s Independent Grocer in Perth, WalMart in Smiths Falls and WalMart in Brockville.

Grocer.” This is a campaign to help raise funds for the Wheels of Hope – the transportation program. Each piggy bank has a trip attached – like to CHEO for a checkup for a child with cancer, or to Kingston for a doctor’s appointment, or Ottawa for chemotherapy. The premise is for people to pick up a piggy bank and fill it with change (or bills or cheques) that will help alleviate the cost of that particular trip. Pigs of Hope is an opportunity for families to get involved, “and they will adopt this little pig,” Carley explained, while showing a little plastic bank in blue or yellow. On each pig has a trip, so they can select which trip they want to sponsor. One trip from Perth to CHEO, for example is $44 for chemotherapy. If a family wishes to sponsor just one trip, that’s wonderful, but they also have the opportunity to help support that entire treatment, which on average, is a trip to Ottawa twice a week for seven weeks. Look for your chance to help support this program now, as piggy banks are in the area stores now. Provincially, $6 million is needed for transportation. For this region, Waddell didn’t have the exact figures, “as we are in the middle of budgeting, but it is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.” The chapter has 1,200 volunteers – from stints of daffodil pin sales, to event coordinators, like at Relay for Life. “It (hours of volunteerism) fluctuates with their involvement, but we really could not do what we do without volunteers.”

bring concerns to the town’s police services board. “Perhaps those higher-need streets, or where citizens perceive it (a problem)… (should) be selected for selective enforcement,” said Fenik. When it comes to being issued a speeding ticket, thereafter, “they will slow down,” he said. “Nothing like seeing red-andblue lights in the mirror,” agreed Brown. “And money coming out of their pocket,” said Coun. Jim Graff, taking it one step further. Police services board (PSB) chair Stephanie Gray addressed council to point out that the PSB had drawn up a list of streets identified by Brown and others that were seen to have speeding problems. The list has been given to Insp. Derek Needham, the Lanark County OPP’s detachment commander, who promised to pass it on to the relevant officers. One way that this list is already being acted on is though a speed spy box, which checks the speed of passing vehicles using radar technology. “We would be really interested to see those statistics, once you are done,” said Fenik. Gray said that they already had preliminary data from South Street, and that more would be forthcoming.

Isabella Street resident Peter Kelly makes his pitch to Perth town council on Nov. 4 to lower his street’s speed limit to 30 km/h, to curb speeding. Isabella Street Earlier in the evening, a delegation from Isabella Street brought traffic concerns from that end of town. Peter Kelly is a new resident to town, along with his wife and 12-year-old son. “We are just delighted to be here. We love Perth,” Kelly said at the start of his presentation. His house sits on the intersection of Gore Street West and Isabella, and his concerns were focused on the route, which is also used as a thoroughfare from Drummond Street

R0012991970_1113

News – A study by the Town of Perth’s environmental services department has found that more than 80 per cent of drivers on Mather Street are actually going several kilometres under the speed limit. A petition by area residents had been presented to town council earlier this year. Even Coun. Ed McPherson, who lives on the street, which is often used as a thoroughfare from Sunset Boulevard to Wilson Street, signed his name. In a presentation to Perth town council’s committee-ofthe-whole meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 4, environmental services director Grant Machan produced a traffic calming policy overview to council, as well as the results of a traffic study on Mather. The study found that 85 per cent of drivers on the road were driving an average of 43.6 km/h – just under six km/h under the posted 50 km/h speed limit. The study also found that the road was more heavily used at the Wilson Street end than the Sunset end. The results came about following the setting up of a radar trailer, “a good education device,” said Machan. One week later, this was followed up by two traffic counters erected along Mather, then an initial site review, and a request to the town’s police services board for any data – like collision reports – they had on Mather Street, going back three years. More data presented showed that Mather had, on average, between 580 and 840 vehicles per day using it. Machan noted that this paled to the 4,000 vehicles using Sunset or the 12,000 to 15,000 vehicles using Wilson each day. The OPP reports also showed a “low collision history” on the street. He admitted that “people do use it (Mather) as a bypass,” but concluded that Mather does not qualify to advance onwards for consideration of traffic calming measures. (Another reason for this was because of the scoring of different criteria. A score of 35 for local streets and 52 for collector streets

would kick-start a traffic calming measures process. Mather Street’s score? 15.) “It does not warrant the installation of physical measures,” said Machan. Machan advised increased education, targeted enforcement by the OPP. He did add that making Mather a oneway street “would halve the number of cars on that street and act as a traffic calming (measure).” McPherson, however, “everyone can see a black-andwhite police car from two blocks away,” and adjust their speed accordingly. He then asked whether unmarked police vehicles could be used. “I think we would be surprised… when there are no visible signs,” McPherson said. The councillor also wondered if Mill Street had been subjected to the criteria placed on Mather Street, if they would have received the speed humps that their residents had asked for earlier this year. “I don’t believe it would,” said Machan. “I did not run the model” on Mill Street. Earlier in his presentation, Machan explained that traffic calming is not applicable on all streets. “There is no such thing as traffic calming on Highway 7 or Wilson Street,” Machan said, since they are main arterial roads. “People will drive the speed at which they feel safest, given the road conditions they encounter,” Machan added. “That is why you may not get a ticket for going 90 in an 80” on a day with good weather. “People will continue to drive the speed limit they feel safe (at),” said Machan. At this, McPherson replied, “it doesn’t really matter what is on the sign?” Knocking on doors during her successful re-election bid earlier this autumn, Coun. Judy Brown stated, “I think that this (speeding) was the most consistent thing that people brought up, aside from taxes.” Mayor John Fenik noted that, on his street, Grant Street, he notices students who are “late for class” who speed down the road. “We had a child struck on that street,” said Fenik, who urged a combination of enforcement, and continuing to

to Wilson Street. “Regularly, I see cars speed by, and I feel it is most concerning,” said Kelly. He had worked for many years as a camp counsellor at a facility for physically disabled children. “I saw the aftermath of speeding cars – children in wheelchairs… (so) I think it is a very important subject. It is not hyperbole to say that it is a life or death issue.” He cited statistics from the World Health Organization (WHO), which found that a pedestrian struck by a car travelling at 50

km/h had a 50 per cent chance of dying from his or her injuries. In residential areas, the WHO recommended a speed limit of 30 km/h. “Some might think it is extreme,” he conceded, but pointed to Westmount, in the west end of the island of Montreal, as an example of a community which successfully has implemented a 30 km/h speed limit. Even Francis Street in Carleton Place, home to the Carleton Place Day Care centre, and the Arklan Community Public School, has been mostly converted into a one-way street with a 30 km/h speed limit. “It is enforced (in Westmount),” Kelly said. “If they do more than 30 km/h they get ticketed. We are worthy of it too, to be protected from it.” He presented a petition from most Isabella Street residents to consider the speed limit reduction, especially in light of the nearby medical centre and the high school. He even recommended that a public awareness banner, along the lines of “Speed Kills” could be strung up over Foster Street for a week or longer. Graff agreed that speed does indeed kill, recalling a sign he once saw in a residential area: “Slow down: We haven’t a child to spare.”

Lanark Highlands residents object to dumping News - Lanark Highlands residents reported four illegal dumpsites to municipal staff last week. There were two dump sites on 2nd Concession B Lanark, one on 7 Concession Darling, and one at the Taylor Lake boat launch at the end of 12 Concession C Lanark. Public Works superintendent Dave Ennis said, “The residents who reported the illegal dumping were angry their neighborhoods were being polluted by the illegal disposal of garbage.” When a report of illegal dumping is received at the township office,

members of the roads crew are sent out to clean up the garbage and take it to a waste site. Any identifying information found in the garbage is referred to the OPP for investigation. If the identity of the person responsible for illegal dumping can be confirmed, the township can charge the actual costs of cleanup or enforce Bylaw 2010-1030 and fine $1,000 per occurrence. In the last two years, the township has increased the budget for cleanup of illegal dumping from $5,000 to $6,000. “At this time of year the roads

department is busy preparing our roads and plow equipment for winter maintenance. Four times last week I have had to take employees away from their regular work to clean up illegal dumpsites along the road,” Ennis said. In Lanark Highlands, waste management is paid from general revenue which comes from property taxes. Unlike most neighbouring townships, Lanark Highlands does not require bag tags, which means there is no limit on the number of garbage bags a resident can take to a waste site. Ennis noted, “When people

Winter 2015: gloves are on

O

pinion - It’s getting colder. And…shudder…there have been flurry sightings. Over and over, for the last week or two, I have heard myself saying to people: “I don’t mind winter, really, but I’m just not ready this year. Last year’s went on too long.” The “but” part worries me. Navigating winter seems to be, increasingly, a bit of an exercise in bracing oneself. I hope I get over it and soon. I think people start to “mind winter” more when they get older. Snow is harder to navigate and the cold is tougher to bear. I feel it myself. I’m long past the urge to be “cool” and go hatless or sockless or heavy coatless. I learned to get over that as a university student having to walk across an open, barren field to get to school every day in Ottawa in January. That is one heckuva frosty wind that blows down Bronson Avenue, I tells ya. So, yeah. Winter is tonnes more enjoyable if you dress for it. Snow is fun to play in if you’re warm and dry. I don’t even mind shovelling all that much – it’s good exercise and keeps you toasty. I have, however, found parts of my body like the cold less and less, namely my hands. I’m starting to think at some point I may have incurred a touch of frostbite, or maybe it’s just because I’m older and this is one of the fabulous phenomena accompanying the fantastic 40s. Whatever the reason, my hands get painfully cold alarmingly fast. If they are not ensconced in thick, bulky impermeable mitts, they become virtually non-functional very quickly and take forever to warm up. This is not convenient, especially when one has to do anything outside that requires use of fingers, such as taking photos or notes or tying children’s boot laces. Standing around looking warm is great and all, but sometimes I need those fingers for stuff. So…does this mean I am going to understand finally where the winterhaters are coming from? Maybe, but I think I am going to concentrate on finding a good pair of functional gloves instead. That all being said, last winter was a doozy. Do you remember or have you blocked it out? Let me remind you of a couple of things. First off, it seems to me we had snow in November last year, and I mean snow that stayed. The good thing

Past Deadline

is we had a white Christmas, and I’m all for that. But then the snow stayed and stayed and stayed. And stayed. And it was cold. It was a real, honest-togoodness Ontario winter, complete with that bone-chilling (hand-freezing) dampness. On the one frozen hand I loved it because if we’re going to live here in Canada then, darn it, let’s have a real winter – not one of those wishy washy grey ones that feature perpetual ice storms fraught with peril. Peril is no fun. On the other frozen hand, though, it was too long. I wrote a column in mid-March about it. I was gazing out my kitchen window, wishing I could have a coffee on my patio, and seeing at least three feet of snow still on the ground – on top of a thick layer of ice, I might add. I described the temperature at the time as “minus stupid” with a windchill of “minus ridiculous.” There were frostbite warnings. The calendar said it would be spring in a few days, but it sure took a lot longer. Last year we heard the term “Polar Vortex.” I think that was first. I can state emphatically I am not a huge fan of the Polar Vortex, so if it stayed away this year I would be fine with that. So what are some of the weather bigwigs predicting about this winter? Well, it seems The Old Farmers’ Almanac has coined a new term: “refridger-nation.” I also saw a news story in which an editor was quoted as saying something about “the T-Rex of winters.” Awesome. Meanwhile, Dave Phillips over at Environment Canada disagrees. He predicts a milder winter – “not as long and cold as last year.” Uh huh. (Just between us, I stopped believing him years ago.) This can only mean one thing: no one really has any idea. I highly recommend that everyone channel their inner Girl Guide and “be prepared.” I’ll be out shopping for those warm gloves, just in case.

Sports highs and lows create great character

O

pinion – This is the best time of year. Yes, I may be a little nuts, but I enjoy spending time in high school gyms through the week which usually ends with my regular trips to two local arenas on Friday night. I’m lucky that my career allows me to do the things I love – take photos, capture moments of exhilaration and of despair – and write their stories. What’s even cooler is seeing a young basketball team progress from being a team of fledglings to a Lanark County finalist, or a championship team. I’ve also witnessed our struggling Jr. B Blue Wings with a string of bad luck, bad bounces, and being on the losing end of 13 straight games before recording their first win – then going on to three wins in a row. A new coach in Mat Milberry seems to have turned things around for the boys in blue. And I’ve even seen how our Jr. A Bears, under the watchful eye of Mark Grady, have struggled at the beginning of the season to start to play their brand of Bears hockey. The boys are on a roll

LAURIE WEIR Weir View now, (well except for a hiccup against Ottawa on Friday night) and they are looking like a team that will go all the way to the CCHL finals – again. Young volleyball players – fresh out of public school – who commit to play on a high school team have showed incredible capabilities with their work ethic. It’s fun to watch them execute a three-way pass at the end of the season when at first, they dove into the play and returned it on the serve – not ideal in this game. Seeing strength, character and teamwork coming together is pretty amazing at this level. These teenaged kids have learned from dedicated coaches, who take time out of their own lives to better those young people who want that chance to excel in sports. Why do they do it? They love the

Letter: Resident encourages council not to ‘make haste slowly’ asset class to Perth’s budgeting process. A sinking fund is akin to a savings account where the annual transfers from Perth’s operating budget and associated interest eventually amounts to the replacement cost of the asset class in question. This activity, although an ongoing aspect to Perth’s current budgeting process, has fallen short (it currently amounts to about $6 million) of what is needed to fully fund asset replacement. It is my assessment that Perth finds itself in a position not unlike many pension funds where the current value of the fund is unable to support the present value of future payouts. One of the many recommendations in the report is to increase rates of taxation (the mill rate) and development fees dedicated to capital, to be transferred to capital reserve(s) – the sinking funds. The recommended annual increases in rates related to tax supported infrastructure are between 2.5 and 3.5 per cent, substantially more than Bank of Canada target rate of inflation of one to two per cent. The additional revenue, which would amount to an average of about $3 million a year, would be over and above those required of the annual operating budget. The upshot is that tax rate inflation in Perth would be substantially higher than the bank’s target range. In short the rate of increase for that portion of a resident’s budget devoted to property tax would inflate faster than the CPI including such items as food, heating, electricity, rents, and mortgage payments. One way to avoid or reduce the dependence on increases in taxation is to pursue the federal and provincial grants that are available for infrastructure renewal. However, a recent group of white papers released by the Eastern Ontario Wardens Caucus (White Papers address

financial sustainability, Perth Courier, Nov. 6, 2014, Page 3) have recounted that this fiscal situation is not unique to Perth. Municipalities throughout Eastern Ontario are all grappling with infrastructure renewal and thus the competition for grant money will not only be intense, but also, given the current economic environment and the magnitude of the provincial deficit, requests may far exceed the fiscal abilities of the provincial or federal government. Thus it is imperative that the council members do not “make haste slowly” on this one as it is in the best interest of the current and future rate payers of Perth that council members reveal their strategy that will insure that the promise of “a zero-per-cent increase in the town’s operations budget” is not broadsided by the burgeoning needs of Perth’s capital budget.

DEAR EDITOR, This is an open letter to the mayor and the Perth town council The town’s Strategic Plan provides specific information about Perth’s future. One aspect of the plan relates to Perth’s expected demographic growth, which is more optimistic compared to that found in Lanark County’s Strategic Plan. Until recently there was little movement toward reconciliation, blocking Perth’s access to the new revenue stream (fees and taxes) originating from its development plans for the annexed lands north of Highway 7 and for the lifestyle condo development adjacent to the golf course. Lanark County is now on board; however the province has yet to give the green light. So those fees and taxes are not, as yet, a sure thing. Why is this important? New revenue streams are needed to help support Perth’s infrastructure renewal program as evident by a careful reading of Perth’s Asset Management Plan (the AMP of Watson & Associates, Economists, Dec. 11, 2013). The ADP suggests that, for the town’s tax payers, Perth’s decaying infrastructure presents a problem yet to be reckoned with. As of 12/31/2012 the replacement cost of Perth’s roads, bridges, storm-water mains, etc. runs a little more than $117 million (in 2013 dollars); for water mains, facilities, equipment, machinery, etc. about $49 million; for waste water mains, waste water facilities, vehicles, equipment, machinery, etc. about $30 million; the grand total will run some $196 million. The AMP outlines several scenarios which the town might peruse to finance the replacement of these assets, during the next 20 to 40 years. One recommends ‘linking sinking funds’ for each

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Great show for Champions for Kids at Perth’s Mason Theatre Town’s Got Talent Contest) on vocals and incredible guitar work this was followed by a beautiful rendition of O’ Canada by Darla MacPherson on flute. The Richmond Ramblers an Ottawa based bluegrass folk group had the crowd and even those backstage clapping and singing. The touching moment for me and many others was when Elly Wedge, champion fiddler stepped to the left and welcomed Tony Leduc to the front of the stage to join up with their seven piece group.

I am sure all are familiar with Tony who recently with the assistance of the community and friends has acquired an accessible van. The smile on Tony’s face for the entire evening I must say melted this old guy’s heart, such joy to see him having so much fun. I think we will become long-time friends now, wonderful singer, picker and just a fun guy to be around. The night was packed full of with entertainment, Howard Hayes and the Country Drifters, all legends of the Ottawa Valley music scene took to the stage. Mr. Hayes

YULETIDE FAIR 2014 HOT LUNCH SERVED 11:00 A.M. TO 1:00 P.M.

Celebrate the season with heritage whisky tastings Community Just in time for the lead up to the Christmas season, the Friends of Murphys Point Park is launching a series of Heritage Whisky Tastings in Tay Valley Township and the Town of Perth. Building on their successful Heritage Mica Days events that take place throughout the summer, this series will explore the long history and heritage of whisky distilling in the area, while providing a new entertainment package for residents and visitors. Each tasting event will include stories of the early whisky industry by local historian and story teller Susan Code, with different stories unfolding at each venue. The talented trio, Cratur, will entertain with traditional music and the sommelier services will be provided by Ouidram with four different single malt whiskies at each tasting. “We bid you welcome and wish you ‘Slainte!’ as you embark on this wonderful journey into the intriguing world of single malt whiskies born of the moors and the mountains, the mist and the heather, and all that is Scotland,” says Ouidram. Two Heritage Whisky Tastings are scheduled between now and the holiday season. On Friday, Nov. 21 visit the Perth Manor, where hosts Gordon and Linda Craig look forward to welcoming you.

Start your evening at the Crystal Palace in the Tay Basin for the Festival of Lights and fireworks at 6:30 p.m., then take a short walk from there to the Perth Manor for your whisky tasting. To enhance your experience, the Perth Manor is offering a $20 discount for an overnight stay on the night of the whisky tasting. The second event will be held on Friday, Dec. 12 at Fall River Restaurant in Maberly. Owners Tess and Jeroen are excited to be hosting this event and invite you to come early and visit their Christmas market. Call them to make a reservation for an early dinner before your whisky tasting experience. Both Heritage Whisky Tasting events start at 7:30 p.m. and advance tickets are required. Tickets are $70 per person available only through Tickets Please at www.ticketsplease.ca or by calling 613485-6434. A charitable tax receipt of $25 will be provided by the Friends of Murphys Point. For additional information, visit www. heritagemicadays.ca, call 613-267-5340 or email events@heritagemicadays.ca.

PETTES Denny

Gray, Larry F At home in Carleton Place, ON. on November 8, 2014, surrounded by family. Larry was born at home in Dresden, ON, on August 19, 1937 to Clark and Neva (Green) Gray. The oldest of three children, Larry grew up during the Second World War and his passion for flying developed at an early age. It was also in his youth that he learned to play the saxophone, a hobby he would pursue his entire life. In 1958, two of the defining events in Larry’s life occurred. He joined the Air Force, and met his lifelong partner Gloria (Madge). At the tender ages of 21 and 17, Larry and Gloria were married on Christmas Day in 1958. Soon after, two sons, Scott (1959) and Kevin (1961) arrived. Larry’s career as a flight navigator took the family all over Canada, from Winnipeg to Nova Scotia and Ontario as well as a three-year stint in Soest, Germany. Many months were also spent serving with the UN in the Sinai. An eightyear posting in Summerside, Prince Edward Island, brought a third son, Chris (1973). During his many years of military service, Larry honed his writing skills by editing three base newspapers. He achieved a Bachelor of Arts degree from Queen’s University in 1977. At age 45 he left the military, switching gears somewhat to work at the Royal Canadian Legion headquarters in Ottawa. In 1995 he accepted a position with the Veterans Review and Appeal Board in Charlottetown, a move that felt like a return to “home” for the now empty-nesters. Three years later and the couple settled finally in Carleton Place, but wasted no time buying a cottage in Stanley Bridge, PEI, where they spent long, happy summers overlooking New London Bay with their quirky and beloved miniature Dachshunds. Retirement was anything but idle for Larry. He joined the Canadian Peacekeeping Veterans Association and the Veterans Week Working Group. He was also known for his community activism and served many volunteer roles, including sitting on the Carleton Place Police Services Board and as a founding member of the Roy Brown Historical Society. He continued to play saxophone with the community band until his health faltered. In 2011, Larry was awarded the Minister of Veterans Affairs Commendation for his tireless work on behalf of veterans. His passion for military history led him to write two books on the town’s local soldiers that gave their lives in the two World Wars, We Are the Dead and Fathers, Brothers and Sons. Two more books followed: Canada’s World War II Aces and Canadians in the Battle of the Atlantic. And finally, as a tribute to the province that became a second home, Red Roads to Runways: the Story of The Royal Canadian Air Force at Summerside. Larry is survived by his wife of 56 years, Gloria; sons Scott (Lore Mirwaldt), Kevin (Denise) and Chris (Jen); seven grandchildren: Joshua, Jennifer, Alex, Jonathan, Andrew, Cameron, William; and one great-grandson, Tyson; sisters Karen and Wanda, three aunts, and numerous nieces and nephews. Visitation will be held at the Alan R. Barker Funeral Home, 19 McArthur Ave. in Carleton Place, on Friday, November 14, from 1 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. Funeral services will be held at St. James Anglican Church, 225 Edmund St., Carleton Place, Saturday, November 15 at 2 p.m. Reception to follow in the church hall. Memorial donations to Wounded Warriors (www.woundedwarriors.ca), and the Lanark Animal Welfare Society (www.lanarkanimals.ca) will be gratefully acknowledged. www.barkerfh.com

IRVING Paul Bradley

The family of Paul Irving is sad to announce his passing on November 2, 2014 at the age of 55 at Bayfield Manor, Kemptville. Predeceased by his beloved mother Muriel, Paul is survived by his devoted father James, his brother David (Helen), sisters Nancy (Marshall) and Laurie (Tom), and his nieces and nephews Tyler, Megan, Scott, Emily, Elspeth, Thomasin and Ewan. The gift of growing up in a family that included a special son/brother/uncle with Down Syndrome taught each of us to love and cherish persons with special needs. We will miss him dearly. As a young boy growing up on a family farm near Spencerville, Paul enjoyed playing outdoors with many pets and farm animals, including dogs, cats, ponies and ducks – but especially, Sam the Lamb. He spent many happy hours on his swing in the backyard. He also enjoyed taking walks over the sand hills with his sisters who adored their handsome, blue-eyed baby brother. Paul was very fortunate to have attended Maplewood School in Oxford Mills which was operated under the guiding influence of the late Anne Jackson. He later benefited from the programs provided by North Grenville Community Living in Kemptville. The wonderful staff at both places enriched the quality of his daily life enormously. Blessed with a musically gifted mother, some of Paul’s happiest times were spent around the piano, especially when he accompanied her on his drum. Although he appreciated many genres, he had a special place in his heart for the Guess Who. Their 1969 song “Laughing” was his absolute favourite. Paul was a sweet, affectionate soul, deeply loved by his family and friends. Special thanks to the nursing staff and all the care givers at Bayfield Manor where he enjoyed the last years of his life. We are very grateful for the loving, dignified care and comfort he received there, especially over the past months. A private grave-side service for Paul took place in the Shanly Cemetery. Those who wish to make a donation in his memory are encouraged to support North Grenville Community Living in Kemptville. Condolences / Tributes / Donations at www.mcgarryfamily.ca 613-258-2435

And when I’m sad and lonely And everything goes wrong, I seem to hear you whisper, “Cheer up and carry on”. Each time I see your picture, You seem to smile and say, “Don’t cry I’m only sleeping, We’ll meet again someday”. I miss you each and every day, Love Hilda ~ In loving memory of our dear Dad and Poppa. Remembering you is easy, We do it every day, It’s the heartache of losing you, That will never go away. Love Rodney, Lisa, Angela and families

MORRIS – In loving memory of our dear brother, Jordan, who passed away November 12, 2010. In our hearts your memory lingers Always tender, fond and true There is not a day, dear brother That we do not think of you. Always loved and missed by your brother and sisters and families

IN MEMORIAM

IN MEMORIAM

FIELDING – In loving memory of my grandmother, Elizabeth, who passed away November 10, 1968. Always a thought and many a tear. For the one I miss and loved so dear. The sudden way you had to die. I will always remember and wonder why. To know I never said good-bye, will always bring regret. But the heart that loves you dearly, Is the one that won’t forget. Sadly missed and lovingly remembered, Granddaughter Karen

LACKIE, Reta and Lorne - In loving memory of our parents, Mom who left us six years ago on November 19, 2008 and Dad who left us five years ago on November 17, 2009. Gone are the times we used to share But in our hearts you are always there. Loved and Remembered Doris, Tricia and Brian Gracie McADAM November 13, 2010 In loving memory of a dear wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. They say there is a reason They say that time will heal But neither time nor reason Will change the way we feel For no one knows the heartache That lies behind our smiles No one knows how many times We have broken down and cried We want to tell you something So there won’t be any doubt You’re so wonderful to think of But so hard to be without. Loved and Remembered Forever, Buddy, Debbie and Bob, Randy, Austin, Laura, Greg and Kristen, Allan and Pam Taylor, Joshua and Mathew

STANLEY, Madeline – In loving memory of a dear, wife, mother and grandmother who passed away 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 colors 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. Love you always.. Keith, Glenn, Janet, Greg, Judy, Lisa, Dan , Kristi and Ami FERGUSON John M. - In loving memory of a dear husband, and wonderful father, grandfather and great-grandfather, who passed away on November 12, 2013. Every day, in a small way, Memories of you come our way, Though absent, you are always near, Still missed, loved and always dear. Always in our hearts, Merle and Family

“The decision to cancel busing is not taken lightly,” explained Cotnam. “It’s based on careful analysis of several factors, from up-to-date weather forecasts, to information from bus drivers who check roads on mornings when problem weather is expected.” STEO staff review forecasts each day before 2 p.m. to check for weather alerts that may affect busing. If there are problems on the horizon, bus contractors are notified. Forecasts are reviewed again at 9:30 p.m. On the mornings that snow storms, freezing rain, or other weather problems are expected, the forecasting service, Pelmorex/The Weather Network, is contacted at 4:30 a.m. to check on weather conditions. Pelmorex/The Weather Network is one of the most accurate forecasting services in the country. The same system is used by road crews from the Ontario Ministry of Transportation. STEO staff members do not rely solely on forecasts, however, when deciding whether or not to cancel bus service. Consultation takes place with a team of contractors whose staff mem-

bers check area roads at 4:30 a.m. if bad weather is expected. The region is separated into 18 zones with a contractor as a captain in each zone. The captain reports weather and road conditions to Cotnam directly, confirming the amount of snow and ice accumulation on roads, if snow or freezing rain is continuing, and providing details on accumulation and intensity. STEO, and the contractors, also consult with municipal road crews, police, and other school boards throughout the region, before making the call. With such a large area, it’s not unusual for weather to be bad in some parts of the jurisdiction, and not others. In those situations the board only cancels busing in problem areas, or areas where weather is expected to pose difficulty for bus drivers by the time they pick up students for the return trip home. This means buses can be cancelled in all 18 zones, or cancelled in as few as one, when conditions warrant such an order. Parents may get frustrated if roads in their area look fine, but while one street may look clear, travel else-

where in the immediate region may be dangerous. The final decision on bus cancellations is made by the director of education from each board, or his designate, based on Cotnam’s recommendations. The decision to cancel must be made by 5:45 a.m., as buses begin as early as 6 a.m. “We understand that cancelling buses in bad weather has a big effect on families, and we know that students are best served in the classroom,” said Cotnam. “Parents must understand though that we care about our students and their safety is our top priority, so there are times we simply must cancel busing to keep them safe.” Once the decision is made to run, STEO cannot reverse it, even if weather takes an unexpected turn for the worse. Parents rely on that decision when they leave for work. Student Transportation of Eastern Ontario operates approximately 750 school vehicles, which transport approximately 32,000 students across districts in eastern Ontario. Submitted by Student Transporation of Eastern Ontario.

New steps being taken for smoke-free Ontario News – The Ontario government is strengthening the Smoke-Free Ontario Act to further protect youth from the harmful effects of tobacco. Starting Jan. 1, it will be illegal to smoke on bar and restaurant patios, smoke on playgrounds and public sports fields and surfaces and illegal to sell tobacco on university and college campuses. “Smoke-free patios are a critical next step in protecting servers and the public from toxic secondhand tobacco smoke,” said Michael Perley, director, Ontario Campaign for Action on Tobacco. “Equally important, they’ll remove tobacco use as an apparently ‘normal’ part of friends and families enjoying socializing over food and drinks; tobacco industry products, with no safe level of use and which kill one in two long-term users, are anything but normal! Kudos to the minister and the government for this progressive move forward.” Ontario is making it more difficult for young people to purchase tobacco by prohibiting tobacco sales on postsecondary education campuses. The new regulations will apply to buildings that are owned and areas that are leased by postsecondary institutions or student unions, which are used for students’ education programs, recreational activities or residential services. Children are more vulnerable to the harmful effects of second-hand smoke exposure. Studies show that young people are less likely to become regular smokers when living in areas with strong tobacco control regulations for restau-

rants when compared to areas where regulations are weaker. Currently, smoking is not permitted on covered or partially covered patios in Ontario. Under the new regulations, smoking will be prohibited on all bar and restaurant outdoor patios. The only exemption under the new regulations is for uncovered patios that were established by a branch of the Royal Canadian Legion – Ontario Provincial Command prior to Nov. 18, 2013. As well, Ontario is prohibiting smoking on and around playgrounds and public sport fields and surfaces. This includes areas for basketball, baseball, soccer or beach volleyball, ice rinks, tennis courts, splash pads and swimming pools that are owned by a municipality, the province or a postsecondary education institution. The prohibition includes sport fields, sport surfaces, spectator areas around sport fields and 20 metres surrounding these locations. It also includes playgrounds at hotels, motels and inns. “If we prevent youth from taking up smoking in the first place, that will mean fewer smokers and healthier Ontarians. We need to do everything we can to prevent all Ontarians from the harmful effects of secondhand smoke,” said Dipika Damerla, associate minister of Health and Long-Term Care. Many Ontario municipalities have already taken action to restrict smoking in public spaces. Sixty-five municipalities have banned smoking on playgrounds, 60 have banned tobacco use on sports and recreational fields, and 10 have prohibited smoking on restaurant and bar patios.

Since 2005, Ontario has become a national and international leader in tobacco control. Through the Smoke-Free Ontario Act, the government has taken a strong stance to protect the people of Ontario from second-hand smoke in enclosed public places and workplaces. Further amendments to the act include protecting kids from exposure to second-hand smoke in motor vehicles as of 2009, and prohibiting the sale of flavoured cigarillos as of 2010. Ontario’s smoking rate fell from 24.5 per cent in 2000 to 18.1 per cent in 2013, representing 332,361 fewer smokers. “We applaud the government of Ontario for introducing these courageous new tobacco control measures that send a clear message that we need to continue to work together against the number one cause of preventable disease, death and cancer in this province,” stated Rowena Pinto, vicepresident, public affairs and strategic initiatives, Canadian Cancer Society, Ontario division. Preventing youth from starting to use tobacco and protecting them from the harmful effects of smoke supports Ontario’s goal to have the lowest smoking rate in the country. Each year, tobacco claims 13,000 lives in Ontario – equivalent to 36 lives every day. Tobacco-related disease costs Ontario’s health care system an estimated $2.2 billion in direct health care costs and an additional $5.3 billion in indirect costs such as lost productivity. Submitted by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.

There is more than food on the table at the Perth Community Food Centre advocacy and building self-confidence. We believe that the ability to advocate comes from not only understanding your rights and responsibilities but from having a sense of self-worth, the confidence to speak up for yourself (and others) and the tools to communicate effectively. Graduates from the program can apply to volunteer in the community advocacy office where they pick up and develop even more skills. We have seen participants use the Community Action Training or their time in the advocacy office as a stepping stone to other opportunities whether it is connecting more deeply to their community, returning to school or finding paid work within the community. While we are unable to solve many

of the issues that people bring into the office, advocates are on hand to offer support and to point people in the right direction with no judgement. We saw just under 300 visits to the advocacy office last year. We are at just over 270 now so will certainly surpass that number this year. The advocates also organize free clothing giveaways, dental screenings and free haircuts throughout the year and are now working with the Smiths Falls Community Health Centre and its partners to offer a Good Food Box through the Table. The advocacy office is open to all community members in Perth and the surrounding area. If you need assistance, support or information on any issue

hamper of food at that time and it was disheartening that we didn’t know where to send people for other help. Time and time again volunteers would come back to the office feeling upset after hearing a heartbreaking story from a participant and being unable to offer assistance. We knew that when we opened at our new location, addressing the other needs of people living in poverty would be one of our goals. As with all of the programming at the Table, we want to reach as many people as possible and we want participants to feel welcomed, respected and, most of all, equal to the people on the other side of the desk. That is why the advocacy office is run by people with lived experience in poverty. In order to be sure that advocates are equipped to deal with the issues participants bring to the office we created the Community Action Training program. Geared to people living on a lower income, the CAT program is a 12-week group where participants can hone their skills in communication, conflict resolution, goal setting, problem solving, boundaries and more all while learning about community resources,

Community - Have you ever needed help with something and you didn’t know where to get it? Have you ever tried to access a service and felt frustrated or overwhelmed about how to go about it? Have you ever felt confused by forms you need to fill out and had no one to ask for help? If so, you might benefit from a trip to your local Community Advocacy Office. Located downstairs at the Table Community Food Centre at 190 Gore St. E in Perth, the Community Advocacy Office has been up and running for just over two years. You may be wondering how an advocacy office fits in with a community food centre. In some ways, the need for an advocacy office helped motivate our transition into a Community Food Centre. Back in 2010 when we were operating as the Perth and District Food Bank, the team of volunteers, the board and the staff were seeing a trend; people who came in to use the food bank were also in need of help in other areas of their lives. While it felt good that participants in the food bank felt comfortable enough with our team to reach out for help on other issues, we were not equipped to offer more than a

Month is an excellent opportunity for Canadians to make more of an effort in promoting and maintaining their health,” says Helen Sherrard, president of CHFA, a national trade association dedicated to the natural health and organic products industry. “In fact, as many as 71 per cent of Canadians say they have used a natural health product and their appetite for organics is also on the rise.” Organic products are foods produced with an approach that puts nature first; rejecting chemical pesticides and embracing biodiversity and soil health. Organic food encourages the development and sustainability of earth friendly farming practices, including locally farmed produce and food products. Hand in hand with organics are nonGMOs, products verified by the NonGMO project, ensuring they contain no genetically modified organisms. Foodsmiths unequivocally supports the full disclosure of product ingredients to consumers, including their right to know whether food products contain GMOs. To read our full policy on GMOs, visit our website foodsmiths.com. If you want to participate in NHP Week and National Health Food Month, the best thing you can do is make small changes that will benefit you and your family’s lives. Foodsmiths recommends incorporating healthier versions of your everyday foods and products. Our trained staff can help you make the best choices for your healthy lifestyle, and answer your questions about what natural health products suit your needs. Submited by Foodsmiths, Perth

NHP week shines the spotlight on the benefits of natural health products Business - The first week of November is Natural Health Products (NHP) Week, an annual event that focuses on the importance of natural health products, their benefits, and the impact they have on the 71 per cent of Canadians who use them as part of their healthy lifestyle. Canadians are becoming more aware of the benefits of using NHPs to maintain good health and prevent or treat a variety of conditions. NHP Week helps ensure that Canadians not only understand the multiple benefits, but also the safety and efficacy behind all NHPs sold in Canada. Natural health products are created from natural sources and used to restore or maintain good health. They can range from herbal supplements, vitamins and minerals that Canadians know well, to homeopathic and traditional medicines that are gaining mainstream popularity. Central to this is the Natural and Non-prescription Health Products Directorate (NNHPD), Health Canada’s NHP regulatory directorate which assesses all natural health products sold in Canada, ensuring that NHPs are safe, effective and high quality. Health Canada then issues a NPN (Natural Product Number) which permits the product to be sold in Canada. Every NHP must go through this process, which protects Canadian consumers from contamination or incorrect ingredients, and ensures that every NHP is properly manufactured and effective. As well, November is National Health Food Month, an opportunity for Canadians to take stock of what they’re consuming – from food to products alike. “Participating in National Health Food

Enjoy the early Chinese experience in small-town Canada on Nov. 20 Community - The Perth and District Historical Society and The Ottawa International Writers’ Festival – Perth Chapter will present internationally recognized author Denise Chong at the Historical Society’s November 20, 2014, meeting, which is open to the public. Ms. Chong will talk about her book Lives of the Family: Stories of Fate and Circumstance. In writing this book, she wanted to explore the immigrant experience of living with layers of memory, of being mired in loneliness and longing for what was familiar, but as well, of making the transition to a new land by simply “getting on with it.” Yet life is not straightforward; the unexpected and unforeseen can dictate the course of one’s life. For the book, Ms Chong wanted a setting of small-town Canada in the early and mid-20th century. She chose to focus on towns in and around Ottawa, and on those people who were among a town’s few or the only Chinese family. Among those people were the Johnstons from Perth. In the late 1890s, Harry Fong (the Presbyterian church changed his surname to Johnston) was first a laundryman, but then opened Harry’s Café, now The Stone Cellar, in Perth. Harry’s life came to tragedy when a driverless parked car rolled and pinned him against a building by the bridge, crushing his leg. However, in part, because he wisely bought property and had a reliable tenant of Eaton’s, his widow, Mabel, would become a successful businesswoman. By the time of her death in 1965, she was a millionaire. On Nov. 20, Ms Chong will speak to what brought Chinese to the small towns rather than settling in the larger cities with others with a common

culture. Her talk will be illustrated with some photographs, and she will read from her book. For the last few minutes, she will introduce Mabel’s niece, Linda Hum, whose father, Jasper, was a long-time cook at Harry’s Café, and will have a brief on-stage conversation with her. Denise Chong was born in Vancouver and grew up in northern B.C., in Prince George. She began her working life as an economist for the Federal Government, eventually becoming senior economic advisor to Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. When he left office, she began to write. She is best known for her family memoir, The Concubine’s Children, a Globe and Mail best-seller for 93 weeks, and now a Penguin Canada “Modern Classic.” Lives of the Family is her fourth book. In 2013, she was named an Officer of the Order of Canada. Ms Chong’s books will be available at the event and/or through The Book Nook. The Perth and District Historical Society is dedicated to learning about and popularizing our history. It is a forum for discussion and celebration of our area’s culture and heritage. The meetings are open to the public, on the third Thursday of each month, at 7:30 pm at the Royal Canadian Legion, Perth-Upon-Tay, Branch 244, home of the Hall of Remembrance, at 26 Beckwith St. E. in Perth.

Sports – Maybe it was the 7:15 a.m. practise Friday morning that gave the junior girls the mojo they needed. Or maybe it was coach Kevin Bellamy barking orders at them. Whatever it was, it certainly clicked as the Perth and District Collegiate Institute junior girls captured the Lanark County Interschool Athletic Association’s basketball title for the second year in a row over Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute, 40-25. After losing game two on Nov. 6 to the RedHawks, the Blue Devils were looking to bring the championship home. “You know what to do, just do it!” hollered an excitable Bellamy from the sidelines moments into the second half of the game as the junior girls ramped it up a notch to sail into the championship zone. Led by the steady play of rookie point-guard Georgia Machan who went 100 per cent from the foul line – four for four – had 10 points in the final quarter alone. She was one of the scoring leaders with 12 points. “It’s definitely good to be supportive,” said the small-but-mighty Machan with the mega-watt grin. “I have an understanding of the game, and it’s not easy… you still have to work for it. We were definitely stronger on the mental game today and we wanted to win it. Being on our home court helped us. It was a good game. Every one played really well.” Mekalah Leach-Rathwell has been dominant in the series as a scoring leader. Today she had 10 points. How does she keep her head in the game?

Sports – The Perth Jr. B Blue Wings have been impressive in their last three games as they snapped their unlucky 13-game losing skid with three consecutive wins. “It was a huge win,” said Mat Milberry, the team’s new head coach and general manger, as he talked about the Blue Wings win over the Ottawa Canadians. “It was a good effort by everyone.” The Blue Wings took to the ice in Ottawa on Nov. 4 where they defeated the Canadians in a shootout for their first win of the season, 3-2. It was Brian Fancy, the team’s third shooter, who was able to nail home the winner, after Perth fought so hard to tie the score in the final seconds of the game. With the goalie on the bench and the extra attacker on the ice Fancy struck for the winner. Chance MacDonald had the equalizer with help from Bradley Stitt and Calvin Wheatley. Perth opened the scoring in the first period with Bradley Stitt’s power play goal from Fancy and MacDonald with 19 minutes showing.

Through a scoreless second, the Blue Wings held on to their slim lead until the 2:51 mark of the third period when Miguel Laurin tied the score. Joey Larcher put the Canadians ahead at the 18:14 mark. Dylan Brind’Amour had the win in the Blue Wings crease with 41 saves on 43 shots. Just eight minutes on four minor penalties were assessed to Perth, while Ottawa had five minors. Stars of the game were Stitt (first, Perth); Miguel Laurin (second, Ottawa) and Fancy (third, Perth). Perth 4 Shawville 3 Back at home on Friday night, in front of another stellar crowd of 417 fans who took part in the Algonquin College’s Stuff a Cruiser event, the Blue Wings posted a 4-3 win over Shawville. Trailing 2-1 heading into the third period, the Blue Wings turned it up a notch with Cameron Cornwall’s goal at 2:44. Shawville shot back to take the lead with Christopher Bones marker with 8:58 on the clock. See BLUE WINGS page P 22

“Well, we had a big practise this morning… I just listen to music and get pumped… that’s pretty much all I do,” she said with a laugh. “I think we were a little bit intimidated yesterday in Smiths Falls because there were so many people, but once we got to home court it was pretty nice. We had great support from our fans.” Sadie Bowler, high on the inside lane and a big rebounder, was another scoring machine today factoring in for 12 points. Coach Bellamy was all smiles as the clock ticked away the final minute of play, encouraging his second stringers to jump into the game and “have some fun out there.” He motioned for his remaining lineup to stand up and cheer on the team as the final seconds counted down on the championship. “Go congratulate your teammates,” he said, whisking them to the court like a mother hen. Once the squeals, hugs and high-fives finished, the medals and well-worn and beaten trophy – with a broken handle – were presented, Bellamy was quick to exit the gym to get to Ottawa for another game. “It was a good day,” he said. “We didn’t have a great week of preparation. We didn’t play well Tuesday or Thursday. We met this morning for a practise at 7:15… unbelievable character. That’s what high school sports are all about - the smiles on their faces and the character that they have.” Bellamy gave Smiths Falls credit as well. “We have a lot of respect for that team and I think in that environment yesterday that Smiths Falls had, our girls were a little intimidated. We have some young girls on the team, but one of them stepped up and had an amazing game today.” The coach was speaking of Machan.

Sports – With the game on the line, it took the serving prowess of Alex Richmond to deliver the winning point today as Perth and District Collegiate Institute claimed the Lanark County Interschool Athletic Association senior boys volleyball title in two straight sets over Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute. “It was pretty sweet,” Richmond said of his final serve that careened over the net with little fanfare. “It was my best serve all day.”

Apart from the tiny grin of coach Kelly Paul, and some low-fives around the court, you’d never know the PDCI Blue Devils just won the LCIAA cup. The boys were pretty laid back. “We started off a little shaky,” noted Richmond. “But near the end, we came together. We played a lot better together in the end.” The momentum of some big blocks, timely tips and easy service points gave the Blue Devils the lead after a back-and-forth game through the first 10 points. Perth cracked it open and cruised on to the easy win.

Smiths Falls coach Kristin Drouin said the shutout was “obviously disappointing.” “It would have been nice to pull it off today,” she said. “We have a great group of guys and I told them that the team we started with and the team we finished with is not even close to being the same team. We did all kinds of really great things, (through the season) with the head game and the strategy. I’m super proud of them, absolutely. We’ll try and give them another go next year.” See VOLLEYBALL page P20

“It was an anxious day. I am so happy for this team,” Bellamy said. “I’m old enough to go that you never know what is going to happen.” It’s not the plays though, assured Bellamy, which made, or could have broken, this game three. “It’s the players who played sharp and played hard. They don’t mind me yelling at them, which is good.” Dan Dufort, the RedHawks coach, had equal praise for the Blue Devils, saying they tried to switch up their defense because of the Bowler/Leach-Rathwell powerhouse sharpshooting combination. “Today, they were a little bit better than us. We couldn’t stop them…

enough, anyway.” Dufort said the RedHawks were still able to shoot from the outside, but unlike in game two, nothing was going in. “The ball was not falling for us today. All the credit to them… Hopefully, they do well at EOSSAA.” He praised his young Hawks saying they are “a great bunch of girls… love them to death. They are a great bunch of young girls who are going to be really great next year.” The Perth Blue Devils continued to the Eastern Ontario Secondary School Athletic Association tournament on Wednesday at Sydenham High School.

Drouin said that the turning point in their second set was not being able to block some of the powerhouse hitters on the PDCI team. “We were having a hard time blocking, they were hitting us hard and wiping us off,” Druin noted. “We were having a hard time picking it up. They stole our energy and I mean volleyball is a momentum game, so definitely it was in their court and they played a really good game.” Blue Devils coach Paul said she was super proud of her guys today.

“It feels… awesome,” she said following the medal presentations. “It was the best they played all year. Surprising, because their practices have been a little hit and miss all year. To come out and play so well against CP in the semi finals, when they were very nervous, especially at home. We don’t technically do well at home, but this year was different. To play against Smiths Falls, who we split with all season, was awesome… to come out with a 2-0 win against them in the finals, it feels absolutely amazing. I couldn’t be prouder of the boys I have. They are kind and caring and very helpful.” Paul said keeping their heads in the game was

a feat in itself. “Quite often we’re an up-and-down emotional team and today we kept it very level, which for them, a feat in itself… and today, I could put in anyone on the bench, and everybody played and we still came out with a 2-0 win.” How does Richmond keep his players’ heads in the game? “I just stay positive,” Richmond said. “I just tell myself to stay positive and yell at everybody else

to stay positive…we play a lot better then.” Richmond added that he was proud of his team, “they played great.” In semi-final action PDCI defeated Carleton Place, while SFDCI eliminated Notre Dame Catholic High School. On Nov. 13, the Blue Devils will represent the county at the Eastern Ontario Secondary School Athletic Association (EOSSAA) at St. Mary Catholic High School in Brockville.

Sports – The Perth Lanark Wings Major Peewee B Rep team attended the Fall Classic Hockey Tournament in Cornwall Nov. 1 to 4 and came home with the gold.

Perth Lanark then defeated Cornwall in the semi finals, 3-2. The team met the Tri-City Griffons once again – this time in the finals where they earned 5-2 championship victory. Pictured are team members Curtis Jesty, Justin Dowdall, Owen Adrain, Owen Doxsee, Ben Kilpatrick, Johnathan Rivington, Mason King, Rudy Boyce, Will Bellamy, Jack Bourque, Lucas Marr, Charli Kettlye, Brodie Tracey, Ewan Jordan, Malcolm MacDonald and Donavon Deacon.

blue wings From page P18

Just three minutes later Wheatley tied the game with help from Tyler Murphy at 11:45. Kyle Dowdall was the hero on this night with his game winner from Kurtis Keohane at 18:05. Perth’s first goal came in the opening period from Stitt, unassisted at 10:16. Shawville’s second period markers were scored by Guillaume Coovi-Sirois and Riley Poirier. Always a chippy match between these two teams, the Blue Wings were hit with 18 minutes of penalties on five infractions. Shawville was in the sin bin on four minor offenses. Blue Wings owner, Michael McLean said, “The fans deserve a winner… 417 fans at Friday’s game and the 50/50 was $480 a side. THAT is community support.” McLean said there is plenty of work to do, but “three wins is a positive start. Our team goal is to chase down two of the teams in front of us and make the playoffs, then raise some hell when we are there.” Perth 9 Stittsville 6 It was a big night in Stittsville Saturday when the Blue Wings scored six of their nine goals in the second period on route to a 9-6 win over the Rams. Stittsville was first on the board with back-to-back markers from Talmadge Farnes. Dodwall had the Perth marker, with help from Fancy with 17:48 on the clock to end the period 2-1 in Stittsville’s favour. A barrage of five goals started the second period before Stittsville shot back with two in a row. Fancy ended the period in Perth’s favour scoring two of the period’s goals. Cornwall also had two, with single markers coming from Christian Bueti and Stitt as Perth led 7-4 at the end of two. In the third, the teams traded goals with Fancy and Bueti doing the damage for Perth while Shane Hiley and Farnes scored for Stittsville for the 9-6 final. Brind’Amour had his third win in as many starts. Both teams were identical with pen-

Perth is on the road this weekend with games in Gatineau on Friday at 8 p.m. and on Sunday in Arnprior at 2:30 p.m. Their next home game is Friday, Nov. 21 against Shawville at 7:30 p.m. With the hiring of Milberry, McLean said he believes he now has the person to lead the team to “being as dominant on the ice as we are presently off the ice.” Milberry was hired after serving as director of Player Development for Jason Clarke, head coach and GM of the Carleton Place Jr. A Canadians of the CCHL. He comes from a winning program and a nationally ranked organization. “This was important in my search,” McLean noted, as he looked for someone with a proven track tracord and success at the junior level. “Mat is also one of the hardest workers I have ever met,” McLean said. “We will need this type of work ethic and focus to get us back on track.” McLean said he was looking for a coach

with a strong teaching background because of the number of rookies on the squad. Milberry said he enjoys Perth, the atmosphere, the fan support, but especially his young team “who are willing to work hard and they have come together in quick fashion. Everyone’s doing what

they’re good at. The skaters are skating, the shooters are shooting and the hitters are hitting. No one is trying to play out of their element.” The new coach said his decision to come to Perth, making the drive from Berwick (near Winchester) wasn’t an easy one.

“But when I commit to something, it’s 100 per cent and I’m not afraid to jump right in,” he said. Milberry said coming to Perth wiped the slate clean for everyone. “The main message is that it’s a clean slate when I came in here two weeks ago – today (Monday) actually – and it’s a test for these guys, to see them in different roles and what they can do.” He said he’s looking to add more pieces to the puzzle, in terms of some sniper power and a defenseman. “I want to add some veterans now,” he said. “We’ve got the young guys, and we’ve got the veteran netminder in Brind’Amour and with his confidence back there, it’s good.” Milberry added that he’s not here to “reinvent the wheel.” He just wants to “put the guys where they will be successful. I’m here to develop these guys make it fun for them.” Now it’s time to play catch-up, he added, but they can only do that “one shift at a time, one game at a time. We’re going to push to the end; the boys are skating and they believe in each other and the program.” R0023001183_1113

It’s A Wonderful Life on the air at the Studio Theatre in Perth Dec. 4 Arts – Before there was television, that glowing orb that left so little to our imaginations, there was radio. Radio was all we needed; it was complete entertainment, making the listener the director, choreographer and set designer, and leading our imaginations to places no moving pictures could ever go. Radio created the most powerful kind of theatre there is: theatre of the mind. Premiering on Dec. 4, Perth’s Studio Theatre presents a Christmas show that re-lives the golden days of radio through the power of one of the most beloved yuletide stories of all, It’s A Wonderful Life. Yes, it’s the story you love, but this time performed as a radio play. Perth audiences have never seen – or heard – anything like it, and it’s sure to spark your imagination and ignite your Christmas spirit. What does a “radio play” look like, you ask? Imagine this: the stage of the Studio Theatre becomes a 1940s radio studio, complete with vintage microphones, a sound effects person (who primes your imagination with creaking doors, barking dogs, and footsteps in the snow) a live organist and, of course, voice actors who step up to their respective microphones on cue to deliver their character parts. Suddenly, you are the audience watching a live radio drama take shape, laughing, sighing, cheering and applauding just as radio audiences did in a bygone age. It’s the magic of Frank Capra’s classic version of It’s A Wonderful Life, along with the fun of experiencing how a radio drama was created 70 years ago. In short, it’s pure magic. Tony Palermo is the playwright who

The Studio Theatre is set to present its Christmas show, a radio play of It’s A Wonderful Life, which opens Dec. 4. Some of the 11 cast members during a recent rehearsal, include, from left: Joanna McAuley Treffers, Alfred Von Mirbach, David Parry, Krista Duff and Jeremy Dutton. brings this beloved American holiday classic to life as a “live” 1940s radio broadcast. And our own Norma Cummings is the director who has brought this special production to the stage of the Studio Theatre, just in time for Christmas. Norma has assembled a formidable

cast of seasoned actors (11 in total, performing 36 different characters, plus a bird!) to voice the story of idealistic George Bailey as he considers ending his life one fateful Christmas eve. The main characters include Hugh McCulloch as George Bailey, Joanna McAuley Treffers as his wife Mary, Barry Caiger as

the Superintendant of Angels, and Lucas Tennant as Clarence, Angel Second Class, who so badly wants to earn his wings. Other on-stage voice characters include Alfred Von Mirbach, Alison Kirkpatrick, David Parry, Grey Masson, Krista Duff, Robert Del Grande, and Jeremy Dutton as the Announcer. In ad-

dition to the voice actors on stage, there will be a live sound effects artist (Jane Stott), a live musician setting the musical tone (Jack Hurd) and an on-stage stage manager (Roberta Peets). And since every radio show must have its sponsors, there will even be commercial jingles, written especially for this show by long-time broadcast commercial writer Paul Joyce, and performed live by Jack Hurd and local favourites The Thorny Issues as the Andrews Sisterstype jingle singers. This is community theatre at its absolute best – a wonderful story, an inspired concept, and a brilliant team of passionate players. You simply won’t want to miss it. It’s A Wonderful Life! premieres at the Studio Theatre, 63 Gore Street E. in Perth, on Thursday, Dec. 4 with performances Dec. 4, 5, 6, 11, 12 and 13 at 8 p.m. and Dec. 7 and 14 at 2 p.m. Regular tickets are $22 at The Book Nook, 60 Gore St. E. (cash only); Tickets Please, 39 Foster St. (613) 485-6434, ticketsplease.ca (credit cards accepted, a convenience fee applies); and Shadowfax, 67 Foster St. (613) 267-6817, shadowfax.on.ca (credit cards accepted, a convenience fee applies). Tickets are $24 at the door, and students with ID pay just $10 at the door on show nights. Further information is available at studiotheatreperth.com. Mark your calendar and don’t miss the Studio Theatre’s production of It’s A Wonderful Life! It will surely be a treat for your eyes, your ears, and your heart this Christmas.

Lifestyle – “Hello Brian, I have two questions concerning vehicle modifications and whether or not these modifications are legal in Canada/Ontario. Is the popular K&N air intake filter system legal in all applications? I have heard that some jurisdictions consider that to be a modification of the emissions control system on a vehicle and therefore prohibited. Can you shed any light on this? Also, automotive magazines and some popular DIY mechanic TV shows out of the United States have often made mention of “computer chips” improving the power, performance and even the gas mileage of modern vehicles (any vehicle with an onboard computer system (OBD I or II). In some cases the claims for enhanced performance and mileage etc. are quite substantial. It sounds too good to be true. Are these devices (computer chips) legal in Canada and are they as good as claimed? Hope this topic is of interest to your many readers.” Cheers, Rod While I’m not a legal expert…on modern vehicles with any type of emission system component mounted in the air filter’s housing or air inlet tube, you have to be sure that part (usually some type of air monitor sensor on late model injected engines) is re-located into the K&N housing/ tube and is still functional. K&N kits always contain good quality and easy-to-follow instructions to make sure you don’t go astray. On older cars equipped with carburetors, the emission control parts of the air filter housing are not always quite as evident. Sometimes there’s just a vacuum hose or foam filter or some innocuous looking valve. If any of these are discarded when the K&N kit is installed you can run into problems with authorities. Almost every summer I hear from classic car enthusiasts who have had their vehicles inspected by Ontario Ministry of Environment officials at collector car shows and have received substantial fines because of a small modification to an air filter housing. 
 Computer chips for vehicle onboard engine control processors can improve either performance or mileage, not both. But you risk engine and emission control component damage. If you pop a chip into a new vehicle that is still under warranty, it will void any factory coverage. As well there is always the risk a chip will cause your vehicle to fail an emissions test. Some owners will simply remove the chip a few days before a test to avoid detection.

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

In my opinion on-road emission enforcement in Ontario is almost non-existent so it’s unlikely anyone running a chipped engine will get caught unless it causes some very visible emissions.
 If a chip causes an engine to run too lean it can cause internal damage leading to some expensive bills. Before you consider buying and installing one ask yourself “who will pay for any damage/fines/warranty problems I might run into?” “Hi there, I just bought a new 2014 SUV yesterday and had a deer run out in front of me on the way home from the dealership. Literally 20 minutes of driving created $12,000 in damages. The car was just over $25,000 plus taxes, etc. That said I really hope it’s written off but I have no idea of the formula created to determine if it is a total loss or not and would like an opinion if you could give one.” Thanks in advance At one point in time, most insurance companies used a 75/25 rule. If the damage estimate was 75 per cent of the wholesale value of the vehicle or greater, it would be considered a total loss. The 25 represented the average percentage of a vehicle’s wholesale value that a salvage yard would pay to the insurance company. Since then, salvage yards (or auto recyclers as they like to be known) will sometimes pay higher prices for scrap vehicles based on a specific make/ model’s parts demand. I’ve heard of auto recyclers paying up to 40 per cent of the wholesale value of a vehicle to get it. Unfortunately the math in this case doesn’t lead me to believe your insurance company will consider this vehicle a total loss. If this isn’t a warning to be alert for deer on the roads, I don’t know what is. If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, [By email to emc@perfprint.ca or directly to bjoeturner@hotmail.com listing ‘Question for the Car Counsellor’ on the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 5 Lorne St., P.O.

Questions remain about this 1933 Ford Deluxe street rod Lifestyle – I first met Marshall Morgan in Toronto 52 years ago when he purchased my 1940 Mercury convertible. A few weeks ago, a letter arrived from Marshall with photos of his current ride: a 1933 Ford Deluxe street rod with red rims and wide whites. What a beauty! A small block Chevy V8 with headers feeds horsepower through an automatic transmission to a 9-inch Ford rear end. The frame has been modified to accept a Mustang II front end with independent front suspension. Marshall bought this car in August 2007 at the Auto Fest Car Show in Oshawa. He reads my column and poses a challenge: “Bill, could you investigate and confirm who built this nice ride?” Marshall enclosed a list of previous owners supplied by the Ontario Motor Vehicle Department. Since 1992, the car has been owned by Paul Sanderson, Peter Foulds, Larry Shackleton, William Mills, and Victor Smallwood, all of Ontario. Marshall bought the car from Mr. Smallwood. Through my friend Vern Kipp, I met Victor Smallwood at his home in Scarborough close to where Vern lives. I phoned Vern to see if he remembered the car. Vern almost bought it 39 years ago! He answered an ad in the Toronto Star around 1975 listing a 1933 Ford Deluxe sedan for sale. It had just arrived from Manitoba, where it had been stored in a chicken coop. It was a low-

Legacy Gift will generate $42.2 MILLION for CHEO over next 100 years WHAT IS FOREVER CHEO? Weldon Cochrane was an Ottawa chartered accountant and partner with the accounting firm of Coopers and Lybrand (now PriceWaterhouseCoopers) and was also the Treasurer on the CHEO Foundation Board. Mr. Cochrane had an appreciation for the importance of leaving a legacy and understood how to make an impact when he decided to made a gift in his Will to CHEO. He left the residual of his estate with instructions for it to be endowed; meaning that the capital would be preserved in perpetuity and the annual interest would be used to fund the important work at CHEO. When Mr. Cochrane died in 1985 the CHEO Foundation received $540,000 from his estate and established the Weldon Cochrane Endowment Fund as directed in his Will. Much has happened and changed at CHEO since his death and in that time his legacy gift has grown to $4.6 million. Moving forward 80 percent of the interest generated from this fund will be invested in medical equipment, research and hospital programs at CHEO. The remaining 20 percent will be reinvested to allow the fund to continue to grow. In 25 years $6.4 million (80%) will go to the hospital and $1.6 million (20%) will be reinvested bringing the total value of the fund to $6.2 million. In 50 years $15 million (80%) will go to the hospital and $3.8 million (20%) will be reinvested bringing the total value of the fund to $8.4 million. In 100 years $42.2 million (80%) will go to the hospital and $10.6 million (20%) will be reinvested bringing the total value of the fund to $15.2 million.

His legacy lives on and continues to make a difference in the lives of young patients at CHEO today, and for future generations.

As CHEO marks its 40th anniversary this year, we look back and honour not only those in our community who made our local children’s hospital a reality, but also donors like Mr. Cochrane who made children a priority. Why not honour what is most important to you during your lifetime by considering a gift in Will to CHEO. Our children, youth and families deserve to always have excellent health care, to benefit from lifesaving research and be provided with the support programs to live happy and healthy lives now and forever.

THE IMPACT OF MR. COCHRANE’S GENEROUS GIFT IS PROBABLY BEYOND WHAT HE COULD HAVE EVEN IMAGINED WHEN HE MADE IT OVER 30 YEARS AGO.

Forever CHEO is a way to ensure that CHEO will always be here to provide excellent care, life-saving research and invaluable support to children and their families every day by making a gift from your estate. When you leave a gift in your Will to CHEO you have the option of designating it to address immediate needs within the Hospital, the Research Institute or the Forever CHEO Endowment Fund. This fund will preserve the full amount of your gift and disperse the interest to CHEO annually. Since the fund will live on in perpetuity, so will your gift to future generations of children at CHEO. This is a way to leave a permanent and meaningful mark on your community.

Oversized superhero film leaves lasting impression (James Cromwell). To impress Callaghan, Hiro invents miniature robots that obey his mental commands. The micro-bots impress, and Hiro gets accepted to the university. Unfortunately, that very night there’s a fire in the school, and Callaghan and TaMARK HASKINS dashi get trapped inside when need some upgrades. Of course Tathe building explodes. Hiro is devastated. Then dashi’s lab mates and friends aren’t his brother’s medical robot letting Hiro go it alone. Needless to Baymax (Scott Adsit) comes on-line to help Hiro feel better. The two stumble upon one of Hiro’s micro-bots which leads them to all the rest that were supposedly destroyed in the fire. It also leads them to a mysterious figure in a kabuki mask who is now controlling them. It dawns on Hiro that the masked figure must have stolen his micro-bots, and started the fire that killed his brother. Hiro decides he’s going after the guy in the kabuki mask, but Baymax is going to

My Take

say Honey Lemon (Genesis Rodriguez), Go Go (Jamie Chung), Wasabi (Damon Wayans Jr.) and Fred (T.J. Miller) are also going to need some upgrades. They put their incredibly smart brains together and turn themselves into superheroes ready to tackle anything Mr. Kabuki throws at them. Big Hero 6 is outstanding. Some family films shy away from certain topics in order to be as kid friendly as possible. Big Hero 6 doesn’t shy

away from anything. It’s an intelligent and sensitive film that’s only focus is on telling the best story possible. It makes you laugh, it makes you cry, and it sends shivers down your spine. Visually Big Hero 6 is gorgeous. The animation is rich and detailed. The play between light and colour is so surreal you begin to think you’re looking into another world. These characters are funny, smart, charming and of course he-

roic. The voice actors giving them life are awesome. T. J. Miller, Jamie Chung, Damon Wayans Jr., Genesis Rodriguez are outstanding. Ryan Potter and Scott Adsit are perfectly matched to their characters and perfectly matched with each other. I loved Big Hero 6. It catapulted right into the top 5 of my favourite superhero movies.

MOVIE: Big Hero 6 STARRING: Ryan Potter, Scott Adsit, T. J.

It’s a little bit Peter Parker, a little bit Tony Stark and just a little bit Avengers. It draws a little from all those great stories, but in the end it’s something all its own. Hiro Hamada (Ryan Potter) is a 14-year-old super genius in need of some direction. Fortunately his older brother Tadashi (Daniel Henney) is there to show him the way. Tadashi shows Hiro his lab at the university. Once Hiro sees what he could be doing his goal is to get into that school. To do that he has to impress professor Robert Callaghan
