Heritage homes and modern construction come together with inspiring seasonal décor and a Canada 150 twist in this year’s annual Heritage Perth Christmas House Tour, Dec. 2 and 3.

This is the 12th year for the event, which is organized by and serves as a fundraiser for the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) Perth & District chapter, a voluntary non-profit organization committed to human rights, promoting education and improving the status of women.

Throughout the year, organizers have been busy lining up an incredible selection of eight homes for visitors to explore. Each home is paired up with an area decorator and florist who dream up a holiday design scheme tailored to the unique features of the spaces.

“The homes are absolutely wonderful this year and with the amazing touches planned by our talented decorators and florists, they are sure to come alive with Christmas spirit and enchantment,” noted Donna Morrow, chair of the CFUW Heritage Perth Christmas House Tour. “Along with the décor, talented musicians will be playing in all the homes throughout the tour.”

The house tour drew nearly 900 visitors from across eastern Ontario and parts of the United States, attracting those interested in local history, heritage conservation, home construction, restoration and seasonal decorating. This lineup fits in with the celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday, offering an Ontario blend of culture and heritage. There’s a 200-year-old home lovingly renovated over four years, a Victorian double brick home that’s been in the same family for three generations, as well as an 1858 rural stone home that’s been restored and remained in that family for more than six generations, just to name a few special stops on the tour.

rior décor and updates have taken into account its history and charm.

An original log home also remains on the property.

North 44° Land Design Inc. will handle décor and exterior florals for this house and Gemmell’s Flowers Limited will be the interior florist.

An original ‘workers’ cottage built in 1874 is found at the next stop, 22 Gore Street West in Perth.

This property received an architecture heritage award for its exterior updates in 2013, while the interior boasts original flooring and a modern kitchen with a large family room. Eclectic international art mixes well with the owner’s creations.

Designs by R will decorate the space and interior florals will be provided by The Floral Boutique.

This year’s lineup First stop on the tour this year is the 200-yearold stone home found at 17604 Highway 7 in Tay Valley Township. Situated in a country farm setting, this house has been updated for modern living and includes plenty of windows and natural light. Other features include an Amish kitchen, multiple fireplaces and modern amenities paired with the original plaster ceiling in the living room, pine floors, antique doors and panels.

Serving as the decorator and interior florist for this home is Kelly’s Flowers, while The Garden Market will provide exterior holiday urns.

Six generations of the same family have called 3069 Drummond Concession 7 in Drummond/ North Elmsley Township home. Constructed in

1858 using stone from the land’s quarry, it has been extensively renovated over the years but is fashioned with antiques, providing a nod to its history. One notable example is a relic from the War of 1812 on display.

The 32nd annual Lanark County Child and Family Services/OPP Angel Tree program was launched Thursday, Nov. 9 at a variety of spots across the county, including the newly renovated Pakenham branch of the Mississippi Mills Public Library. Above, from left: OPP Const. Greg Streng, OPP Const. Paige Whiting and library employee Karen Kiddy prepare to hang some tags on a tree.

Angel tree program kicks off 32nd year It’s year 32 and the Lanark County Child and Family Services/OPP Angel Tree program continues to be a success thanks to the generosity and Christmas spirit in Lanark County and the surrounding area.

This year, the program is starting off with 560 angels and was launched Thursday, Nov. 9. The “angels” assigned to trees are children directly affiliated with Lanark County Child

and Family Services or other agencies connected with child and family services and the goal is to provide a Christmas gift to each child.

The Lanark County municipal offices of Tay Valley, Lanark Highlands, Drummond/ North Elmsley, Montague, Beckwith and Mississippi Mills, who have been with the program since the start are participating once again. We thank

those employees who continue to monitor the trees and assist with the dispersal of the angels into the communities.

Our community partners this year in Perth are Albany, Eaton, Lanark County administration, Perth Town Hall and the Great War Memorial Hospital of Perth District Foundation. Other partners are

An extra feature on this year’s tour will be the addition of an antique sleigh in the front yard of the Miller heritage home, located on Highway 7, east of Perth. Crafted by the well-known sleigh manufacturer, Munro and McIntosh company of Alexandria, Ont., this particular model was used by the homeowner’s grandfather in the late 1800s.

Introducing the directors of Mississippi Mudds’ ‘Anne of Green Gables – The Musical’ Both the book and musical of Anne of Green Gables hold a special place in our country’s collective heart and mind. But as this special Canada 150 year draws to a close, fans of the adventures of Anne, Gilbert, Mathew and Marilla don’t have to visit Prince Edward Island to see Anne of Green Gables — The Musical because Carleton Place’s own Mississippi Mudds are launching a production of the beloved show at the Carleton Place Town Hall between Nov. 24-26 and Dec. 1-3.

The play, which premiered in 1968, holds the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest, continually running musical and together with joyous, toe-tapping music and an engaging story, Anne is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.

The show’s co-directors (and kindred spirits in real life), Patti and Jon Lockhart, can’t wait to present this story that has means so much to them to local audiences. But we wondered who are the Lockharts and what attracted them to bring this musical to local audiences? In addition to their involvement with theatre, both have a strong connection to Prince Edward Island — Jon because that’s where his family is from, and Patti because she had a fascination with the character of Anne of Green Gables from a very early age.

Jon spent every summer of his

childhood on his family’s farm on the island and says, "There was lots of ‘scope for the imagination’ for my siblings, cousins and I on our summer vacations exploring the island's famous red dirt roads and of course, eating lots of Cow’s ice cream."

For Patti, Lucy Maud Montgomery’s book was an immediate hit from a very early age and Prince Edward Island quickly became a “must see” in terms of a vacation destination.

"My fascination with this story didn't go unnoticed by my parents," said Patti. "Prince Edward Island was somewhere I really wanted to experience and so when I was 10, my mom and dad surprised me with a visit to P.E.I. was a dream come true to get to Cavendish and see all the places mentioned in the book and then of course, they took me to Charlottetown to see Anne of Green Gables — The Musical. Nothing could have been more inspiring and magical for a little girl who loved everything about Anne. I remembered every bit of it for many years."

In addition to her fascination with Anne, Patti was a “theatre kid” and was involved at an early age with her hometown of Bowmanville's local drama club. It was here that she fell in love with the “smell of the grease paint and the roar of the crowd,” which eventually led to her to pursue a theatre degree from the University of

Patti and Jon Lockhart are the directors of the Mississippi Mudds production of Anne of Green Gables - The Musical.

Ottawa. She’s had roles both onstage and backstage in live theatre since graduating.

After moving to Almonte with Jon and their two children, six years ago, she found herself auditioning for the Mudds' production of Noises Off. Audiences will remember her other comedic turns in Fox on the Fairway and last year's Mary Poppins.

Jon Lockhart is no stranger to Ottawa's theatre scene either. His path to the theatre world began through

busking with a high school friend and forming the popular act The Cow Guys. For more than 20 years, he has performed everywhere from Parliament Hill to Belgium, to the Maritimes, to Singapore. Jon has a master's degree in theatre from the University of Toronto and is now the technical director of Ottawa University’s theatre department. He works on a large range of shows each year as well as teaching technical theatre courses.

Everyone involved with the show has been busy with rehearsals, memorizing lines and getting the songs just right over the last few months. Singing, acting and dancing across the stage is one of the most talented casts the Mudds has ever seen.

"We think audiences are going to be blown away by the young cast — they're truly exceptional," said Jon. "Some have grown up with the Mudds and will be familiar to our audiences, like Callum Leroy, who plays Gilbert, and then there are those making their stage debuts as a Mudd, like Cameron Hunter, who plays Anne. So the energy levels are pretty high right now."

“And of course, alongside this bunch of bubbling, energetic youth are a strong, spirited and talented group of veteran actors and singers like Chris Jones, who plays Matthew, and Michele Eno, who plays Marilla, who will be familiar to Mudds audiences. Together, they make one pow-

erhouse cast that will be sure to blow you away," added Patti.

The Mudds' production of Anne of Green Gables — The Musical is the perfect way for people of all ages to complete a busy year of sesquicentennial celebrations. In this day and age of stress and turmoil, the musical offers audiences a fun and delightful escape.

"We're so proud to be working alongside this fantastic cast and crew and excited too as our kids are following in their parents' footsteps. So we’ll be watching every performance not only with our directors' hats on, but with our proud parent hats' too," said Patti.

"And if you haven't read the book, seen the TV series or movie ... that's OK. You'll be immediately drawn into the rich story and characters created at the turn of the 20th century by Lucy Maud Montgomery," added Jon. Anne's innocent world of beauty and imagination will be brought to life for audiences between Nov. 24-26 and Dec. 1-3 at the Carleton Place Town Hall. Make plans to bring your family, bosom chums and kindred spirits for two hours of imagination, smiles and song. Tickets are available at the Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce visitor centre (170 Bridge St., 613-257-1976.

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

Home energy upgrade incentives available through REAL If you’ve been contemplating some home energy upgrades, be sure to look at the Enbridge Home Energy Conservation Program.

You could receive $1,600 or more in incentives. The best part about this particular energy program is that it is open to homes heated with natural gas as well as those heated with propane, oil, wood and electricity. If you live in an electrically-heated home, you could receive up to $4,000 in additional incentives.

The program is delivered by Enbridge Gas Distribution, in partnership with the government of Ontario, Save ON Energy and Green Communities Canada (GCC). Local organization Rideau Environmental Action League (REAL) is an approved service organization of the GCC and is local residents’ entry point into the program.

REAL serves the region of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville, as well as parts of Frontenac, with this energy program.

To qualify, you must have an energy audit completed by a registered energy adviser (REA), complete at least two energy upgrades and save 15 per cent or more of your energy use. These upgrades can be improvements such as insulation, air sealing and heating equipment replacement. Your REA will complete a comprehensive energy audit of your home and send you a report with recommendations of what will give you the most energy savings and what will qualify for the incentive grants. In addition to a complete report on the efficiency of your house, you will be given your home’s official Natural Resources Canada EnerGuide for Houses energy efficiency rating.

When you have completed the energy upgrades to your home, the adviser will return to do a short confirmation audit of the upgrades completed, as well as all paperwork and submissions for your incentive grant.

If your house was built earlier than 1985 and hasn’t had many energy upgrades, you may be able to achieve the required 15 per cent energy savings and possibly much

more. You will save on your energy bills, reduce your greenhouse gas emissions and be rewarded with a very nice incentive grant.

Homes built after 1985 can usually benefit from energy efficiency measures as well, but due to improvements in the building code and home construction, they may not be able to reach the 15 per cent mark.

Our energy adviser can guide you on whether you will likely accomplish the necessary savings before an appointment is booked.

Salute young role models

I

t’s a way of acknowledging and giving credit to children and teenagers who are making a difference and are going above and beyond what society would expect from someone that age.

Youngsters who raise money for a cause or who selflessly volunteer their time to help other people in the community are examples of the positive contributions that are worth celebrating.

The Ontario Junior Citizen Award is once again seeking nominations for the annual youth recognition program.

Ontario residents between the ages of six and 17 are eligible.

There are several areas to which the provincial award applies; they include community service, acts of heroism, contributing to community while living with physical or psychological limitations, excelling in the arts or athletics and so-called “good kids” who are making life better for others.

These deserving young people serve

as role models to their peers and also set an example from which many adults could learn.

Up to 12 nominees from across the province will be selected, and the award recipients will be honoured at a special ceremony at Queen’s Park next spring.

Each nominee will be presented with a certificate of recognition in the new year.

Nomination forms are available at ocna.org/juniorcitizen. Supporting documentation, that includes at least two testimonials from individuals other than the nominator, are required.

The nomination must also include the consent of a nominee’s parent or guardian, and the deadline for 2017 submissions is Nov. 30.

The junior citizen awards program dates back to the early 1980s and is coordinated by the Ontario Community Newspapers Association, to which we belong. The awards are sponsored by TD Bank Group.

Much work was done to keep log house warm during long winter months Watching Mother get the house ready for the cold blasts of winter, told me that soon the fields would be blanketed with snow as far as the eye could see, and a path would lead us to the barns and the pump in the yard.

The long underwear and navy blue fleece-lined bloomers would be ready to replace the flour bag underpants we wore at other times in the year.

But Mother, after coming from New York City, to a log house with no amenities, soon found out it took more than the heat from the Findlay Oval to keep the house warm during the long Renfrew county winters.

First, she took the rag bag from behind the kitchen door, cut long strips from ragged un-

derwear no longer fit to wear, or wool socks beyond repair, and laid everything out on the kitchen table. Then with a kitchen knife, she stuffed every window frame in the kitchen, so that not a breath of air could come in, while preventing heat from going out. When she finished, the window looked like it had been wrapped for Christmas, framed in every colour in the rainbow.

Our bed sheets would be replaced with flannelette, which I thought were more than a step up from the four flour bags sewn together to cover our feather mattresses and separate us from the tickings on top. They came from Eaton’s catalogue, and apart from their warmth, I loved the wide co-

Mary Cook’s Memories

before we crawled into bed, Mother would put the hot bricks in our beds to take away the chill that never seemed to leave the upstairs of our old log house. Sometime through the night, and I could never

catch her at it, my sister Audrey with whom I shared the bed, would remove the bricks when they had lost their heat, and in the morning I would see them stacked at the stair step to be taken back down to the

kitchen.

And when it was obvious that winter was here to stay, the parlour, the smallest room in the house, would be closed off.

Mother would bring in from the summer kitchen the same four bricks that had been stacked out there since spring, and they would be put on the back of the cook stove after supper had been cleared away so that by the time we went upstairs to bed, they would be hot...too hot to handle, so would be wrapped in newspaper and then in a towel.

The Studio Theatre in Perth is getting set to present the classic, A Christmas Story. Above, the cast gathers for a group photo. In front, from left: Cain Elliott, Hunter Rigby, Anthony Nelson and James Graham. Second row, from left: Jerry Logan, Maeve Elliott (standing), Sam Brown, Addison Brown and Carell Allen. Standing far right is Deborah Ward. Missing is character actor Grey Masson.

Studio Theatre brings beloved classic A Christmas Story to life Nov. 30 to Dec. 10 Try this: Mention A Christmas Story to a few friends, then stand back and watch the reaction. Guaranteed, eyes will widen, smiles will appear, and you’ll hear “I love that show!!”

For millions of people, a holiday viewing of A Christmas Story is a family tradition. There’s actually an American TV network that has been airing “24 Hours of A Christmas Story” – that’s 12 consecutive showings of the film – each Christmas since 1997.

So what is it about this story of Ralphie and his yearning for a Red Ryder BB gun (you know, “the Carbine Action one, the 200-shot model with a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time”) that strikes such a cord? It’s a simple story about dreams, those special Christmas dreams we all had as kids, so timeless, so charming, and so beautifully rendered by the story’s creator, Jean Shepherd.

Just in time for this year’s Christmas dreams, the stage version of A Christmas Story premieres at the Studio Theatre on Nov. 30, adapted by Philip Grecian from Jean Shepherd’s enduring stories about his Midwest childhood. Patricia Parry, director of the Studio Theatre’s production, has seen the way people react to this muchloved story, and she’s thrilled to be able to bring it to Perth.

“I’ve met so many people who watch the movie year after year, and know the story of Ralphie and his Red Ryder BB gun inside and out” she says.

“The play is very faithful to the film; when Philip Grecian adapted Jean

Shepherd’s story for the stage he knew he had to retain all the things people love about it. His script is simply wonderful.”

Don’t think for a moment that if you’re not familiar with the movie you won’t enjoy the play. This is a story that anyone who was a kid will relate to: Ralphie Parker wants a Red Ryder BB gun so badly he can taste it. And although everybody – his parents, his teacher, and even the department store Santa Claus – has told him he’ll “put his eye out with that thing” he hopes against hope that he’ll find it under the tree on Christmas morning. Will his dream come true? We can’t help wishing fervently, for Ralphie’s sake, that it will. Along the way there are schoolyard bullies, pink bunny suits, family squabbles, finicky furnaces, dog-scarfed turkeys, and all the makings of a well-rounded, family friendly comedy, culminating in, you bet, a happy ending.

Director Parry has assembled a great cast to tell this beloved story, with ages ranging from four to the 60s. Sam Brown plays young Ralphie, Carell Allen is his mother, and veteran character actor Grey Masson plays grown up Ralph. Well-known local actor Jerry Logan plays “The Old Man” (young Ralphie’s father), and Deb Ward is Miss Shields, Ralphie’s teacher. Jamie Graham plays Schwartz, Hunter Rigby is Flick, Addison Brown is Helen, Maeve Elliot plays Esther Jane, and Caine Elliot and Anthony Nelson share the role of Randy, Ralphie’s

younger brother. Lots of young talent eager to bring a great story to the stage, in a play that everyone will enjoy.

Behind the scenes, Penny Silberhorn is stage manager, ably assisted by Annie Mulligan; Reiner Silberhorn is set designer and builder; Paula Batt handles props, Mike Ward, lighting, Julia Egener is the show’s costumer, and Isabel Joyce is the producer.

A Christmas Story premieres at the Studio Theatre Nov. 30 for seven performances, Nov. 30, Dec. 1 and 8 at 7:30 p.m. and Dec. 2, 3, 9 and 10 at 2 p.m. (Please note: For this production, both Saturday shows (Dec. 2 and 9) are 2 p.m. matinees only.)

Advance tickets are $24, and are now available exclusively at Tickets Please in the Matheson House Museum Visitor Centre, 11 Gore St. E. (613 4856434; ticketsplease.ca) which accepts in-store, phone, online and credit card purchases.

Tickets are $24 at the Studio Theatre box office on show nights. There is a special children’s advance ticket price of just $10 for kids under 12. Rush tickets for students with ID are just $10 at the door, subject to availability.

Attend opening night and save $5. Remember Perth’s Santa Claus Parade, Saturday, Dec. 2 starting at 5 p.m.!

If you’re already a fan of A Christmas Story, you’ll enjoy the Studio Theatre’s fresh take on a classic.

OPP cautions motorists – don’t veer for deer In an effort to minimize the chances of being involved in a collision with deer, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are offering motorists the following tips: • Be especially attentive from sunset to midnight and during the hours shortly before and after sunrise. Remember – deer seldom run alone. If you see one deer,

A braided rug would be rolled and placed on the floor tight to the door to keep the precious heat in the kitchen.

The parlour would only be opened if it was our turn to host the Saturday night party, when hopefully enough heat from the kitchen would warm it up before neighbours moved in to play euchre.

With no foundation under the house, the floors were always cold and drafty. Aunt Bertha, our next door neighbour showed Mother how to make simple felt slippers, which were really only two pieces of felt held together with blanketstitching, but helped a little to keep our feet warm. But when we sat around the old pine table

others may be nearby.

• When driving at night, use high beam headlights when there is no oncoming traffic.

• Slow down and blow your horn with one long blast to frighten the deer away.

• Brake firmly when you notice a deer in or near your path, but stay in your lane.

• Always wear your seat belt.

Most people who are injured in car-deer collisions were not wearing their seat belt.

• Don’t rely on devices such as deer whistles, deer fences and reflectors to deter deer.

• Slow down, stay in control and stay alert.

at night, we each had our own cushion to put under our feet as well.

Father, of course, never complained about the cold house.

At night he sat in the rocking chair by the stove, with his feet on the oven door. His long combination underwear served as his pyjamas, and hand-knit socks from Mrs. Beam left his feet only when Mother forcibly removed them from his feet to add them to the Monday wash.

When the serious blasts of winter finally came to Northcote, the pine table, which at other times sat in front of the window looking out to the grape arbour, was moved out from that wall, more into the middle of the kitchen when we had our meals, or after supper when we sat around it in-

volved in the amusements that helped us wile away the time before we climbed the stairs for bed. The kitchen, the biggest room in the house, would be as warm as toast in the evening.

I knew before he went to bed, Father would stoke the Findlay Oval, wait for it to catch so we wouldn’t have a flu fire, and as winter closed in around us, everything that could be done, had been done to help us through the long and bitterly cold winters of Renfrew County.

LETTER

From page 8

This is a good question. The answer is that throughout the entire span of the Harper government, I was the Deputy Leader of the government in the House of Commons (usually called “Deputy House

Leader”). All members of the House leadership team (Whip, Deputy Whip, House Leader, Deputy House Leader) are expected, as a condition of the job, to vote with the government on all items of government-initiated business.

I know of no exceptions to this practice at any point in the history of Canada or of any other Commonwealth parliament.

MANAGING YOUR MONEY November 27, 2017

Financial planning for the modern family It was once a given that spouses would retire at around the same time. Couples would then set off for months of travel or could at least spend more time together. Having two people retire at the same time also simplified financial planning – advisors could factor in two pensions, tax plan around the withdrawals of two RRSPs and more.

own. They’re also providing support and caregiving for James’ elderly parents and the couple will likely need to do the same for Rachel’s parents in the years to come.

Now, though, many people are marrying spouses who are much younger than them.

One might be nearly ready for retirement while the other still has two decades to go.

That can complicate a couple’s financial picture, says Jane Olshewski, Manager of Financial Planning Programs for Investors Group: “There are so many more things to consider. For instance, they’ll need help figuring out how much to save for their respective retirements. If they choose to stop working at the same time, they will need a considerable nest egg to fund the younger spouses’ golden years. If one spouse keeps working, the one who retires may not need to withdraw as much from their RRSP or RRIF.”

In addition to financial issues, age-diverse couples have decisions to make about life planning issues. “Should couples in this situation retire at the same time?” asks Olshewski. “A younger spouse may want to retire and spend some time with the older spouse and do all the things that couples enjoy in retirement while both are still healthy.

But the younger spouse may feel they have more to accomplish in their career and aren’t ready for retirement at an earlier age.”

Children from previous marriages can also add complications. If you want to leave an inheritance to your children, you may need to do some more intensive estate planning to ensure you’re not disinheriting them by leaving your assets to your younger spouse.

Those are just a couple of retirement planning dilemmas facing couples with significant age gaps -- and there are others. Calgary’s Rachel Johnson, 45 and James Matias, 66 have six children between them – three from Matias’ first marriage and three of their

As well, because Matias is so much older, Johnson may be required to provide support and care for an aging husband down the road.

“Each couple must look at their specific situation and decide on a life plan that works for them,” says Olshewski. “And be supported by a financial plan that will get them where they want to go – together.”

Regardless of your age, your professional advisor can help make that happen – for you and your partner.

Learn how a couple’s love for Italy led to tour company startup Nov. 20 in Perth Following one’s heart can be a risky business. Fortunately, the instincts of Canadians Lisa Grassi-Blais and Jake Rupert led them joyfully to a world of spectacular mountains, fantastic beaches, verdant valleys, High Plains, and seemingly endless olive groves and vineyards.

The couple will be in Perth on Nov. 20 to describe their transformation from careertrack professionals in Ottawa, to inn and tour company owners in central Italy.

Family ties to the Abruzzo region of Italy were a strong factor in their decision to relocate. Lisa’s grandfather had immigrated to Canada in 1906 from the village of San Sebastiano and they’d been able to connect with numerous relatives during visits to the region.

The Abruzzese people they met were invariably friendly, funloving and ready to be helpful and the region was stunningly beautiful. Lisa and Jake were tourists during their early trips to Italy, but over time the idea of immigrating and setting up a tourism business began to

take hold.

Once they had the mindset of prospective property owners, the real work began — developing a startup budget, researching villas for sale, looking at tax implications, getting pension questions answered, examining immigration rules, and having their Ottawa house appraised.

They had a budget of roughly $300,000 with which to establish a tour company based in a villa that would provide weeklong vacations to small groups of six to eight guests. The budget included any needed renovations, furniture, and vehicles.

The couple eventually bought a rundown, partially renovated villa that “oozed Italian charm,” which they restored over five years to serve as inn and anchor for their tour company. Historic Villa D'Abruzzo has six bathrooms, a huge dining room, lots of outdoor space, an extra kitchen, and great views.

Forgotten First World War battle memorialized in Mountain On Saturday my wife and I were among the large crowd that attended Remembrance Day ceremonies in Carleton Place, where we live. I have strong personal feelings about the importance of Nov. 11. I never miss the annual opportunity to pay respects to our veterans and especially those who gave their lives fighting for Canada.

I was impressed by the size of the crowd. Weekends are sometimes more challenging in terms of attracting people because school classes, who usually attend in large numbers, are not represented on weekends. However it seems more and more families are focused on Remembrance Day now and that’s a very good thing.

This is certainly not the first time I have expressed my opinion on this related subject. But this week I want to reiterate that I do not support the idea of making Remembrance Day a national holiday in Canada. The word “holiday” should not be attached to such a solemn occasion. I’m concerned that far too many people would suddenly view this very important day as simply another day off.

I realize that my own strong interest in this subject – in the wars of the 20th century in particular – isn’t on most people’s radar. I would obviously like to see that change. To me the best way forward is to make the teaching of Canada’s important war history a compulsory subject in

our schools.

That aside I will continue to do my small part by spotlighting certain battles and Canada’s part in them.

We are now in the final year of the First World War Centennial. The war began July 28, 1914 and ended with the armistice on Nov. 11, 1918. That means Remembrance Day 2018 will be the 100th anniversary of the armistice, which elevates the importance of that particular day.

With respect to Canada’s involvement in the First World War, have you ever heard of the Battle of Hill 70?

I think you can be forgiven if you haven’t. Until recently I was only somewhat familiar with the First World War battle which, on closer examination, was very important in Canada’s military history. The fighting which occurred 100 years ago this summer marked the first time the Canadian Corps was under the sole direction of a Canadian commander, Lieutenant General Arthur Currie, in a Canadian-planned mission.

Like many Great War battles you need a topographic map to find exactly where Hill 70 is located. The number denotes the hill’s height above sea level. The location is on the edge of the city of Lens in northern France. From Aug. 15-25, 1917 it was the scene of bloody fighting between four divisions of the attacking Canadian Corps and five divisions of the

Reflections

By Jeff maguire

German 6th Army. The Germans occupied the strategic hill and the town itself.

Major casualties The Canadians were successful, not only in seizing the hill but also in defending it against not one, but 21, determined German counterattacks.

The fighting cost Canadian troops nearly 9,000 casualties including 1,877 dead. The Germans suffered a staggering 25,000 casualties. Six Canadian soldiers were awarded the Victoria Cross (the British Empire’s highest military award) for their actions on Hill 70.

This battle happened after the Canadian victory at Vimy Ridge in April 1917. Vimy and the bloody engagement at Passchendaele in Belgium (Third Battle of Ypres), which also occurred in 1917, overshadowed the significant fighting on Hill 70 the same year.

Last week, in the lead-up to Remembrance Day, I found myself at

the only Canadian monument to the Battle of Hill 70. Until this year it was the only memorial in the world to the conflict.

No, the monument isn’t in Ottawa (Canada’s capital) as you might expect. And it isn’t in one of our country’s three largest cities Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver either.

Rather the memorial is located in a small community park in the hamlet of Mountain in southeastern Ontario.

My brother Randy and his wife own and operate an orchard near Carp. A week ago Monday I accompanied my brother to an orchard in tiny Dundela in South Dundas Township where he had some business to do. Dundela is the birthplace of the famous McIntosh apple.

On the way home I noticed signage pointing to the Hill 70 memorial which we dutifully followed. To our surprise we found an impressive tribute to those who fought and died during this often forgotten battle.

The site has evolved over the years but planning for the park began in 1922 and a symbolic Hill 70 mound was officially dedicated 92 years ago this month, on Nov. 12, 1925. The site was expanded and reworked by the local Lions Club in 2012 with major financial assistance from the then Harper government.

Over the course of a century

Mountain’s exact connection to the Battle of Hill 70 has been lost. It’s believed to be related to the fact that soldiers from Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry were killed or wounded during the fighting, something which had a major impact on Mountain and other surrounding communities.

What is known is that for nearly 92 years the memorial in the community park was the only one of its kind anywhere.

On April 8 this year, one day before the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge and four months prior to the Battle of Hill 70 Centennial, then Governor General David Johnston presided at the unveiling of a new monument at the actual site of the fighting in northern France. Finally this major battle is receiving more recognition.

Still, it’s the people of tiny Mountain, Ontario and the larger community of North Dundas Township who deserve the most credit.

On Aug. 27, in their memorial park, the residents of the community held a ceremony to mark the Battle of Hill 70 Centennial. Over the course of a century they have ensured the sacrifice made by 8,677 Canadians who were killed, wounded or went missing during the fighting aren’t forgotten.

horoscopes ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you may be tempted to tie up loose ends this week, but there is a lot to finish so expect things to take longer than you hoped. Focus only on one project at a time.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you are anxious to go on an adventure, but you simply can’t find time in your schedule. You may just have to make it happen by turning off your devices and heading out.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Conversations with others should be kept light and easy this week to avoid any drama, Sagittarius. Delving deeper into others’ lives is the furthest thing from your mind.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, your words and actions may not be matching up right now. This may be confusing to others. It may be better to just lead by example.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, even if you are sure that your perspective will win over the crowd, you have to accept there will be some who don’t agree with you. Be gracious and don’t step on any toes.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, are your achievements isolating you from others? You may have to let someone else get some of the glory this week, if only to show your vulnerable and accommodating side.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, things have been moving along quite easily for you and you are enjoying the respite. Take all the deep breaths you can during this period of recovery.

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.

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

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Time has been passing quite rapidly, Cancer. You may be feeling like you aren’t quite catching up to the clock.

As long as some work is getting finished, you are completely fine.

Joyce Elaine Connerty

1930-2017 Mr. and Mrs. Jack Kelso Clark of Smiths Falls welcomed their seventh baby on August 6, 1930. Overjoyed, they would name her “Joyce Elaine”. Joyce followed the births of Doreen, William, Arnold, Bert, Jack, and Howard, all born when the family lived in Reid’s Mills, Ontario. (Bert and Jack passed away in early childhood as a result of the pneumonia they developed after falling down the well, together.) Reid’s Mills was the Clark family homestead, where they lived at the farm known as Killarney. Her mother was the sole heir of the Reality business created by her Smiths Falls real estate developer father, Alexander Stephens. As a result of his death, the Clark families’ new home was built at 103 William Street West. Joyce was born into a home that had two working parents. Her Father, “J.K.”, would continue his profession by being a gentleman farmer while managing the crew that maintained the Reality Business. With help from a foster child Ivy, Doreen and “Bill” would actively participate in the care of Joyce in childhood. Doreen, sixteen years older, would take Joyce to visit J.K.’s sister, Aunt Millie, out West when Joyce was six to visit and tour Vancouver. Joyce would always love to shop through magazine ads and newspapers, Canadian and American catalogues, and even late in life, on the Internet. Even as a young child, she had a keen sense of creativity using colour and fashion to demonstrate her personality and a love of stores! Joyce would attend Smiths Falls public schools, but it was in Grade Nine, at the former Rideau High School, that she blossomed.

Always a very attractive raven haired “beauty” - and she would object to that description all her life - she was popular among students. She dated a couple of classmates before developing her first long term relationship with fellow student Jim Dolan. The Clark family cottage, Hi Ho, was a much loved retreat from the business world the Clark family engaged in in Smiths Falls. She would also spend quality time in the Trinity United Church, where among other things she would advance her leadership skills in the Canadian Girls in Training (CGIT). Working part time jobs in sales and totally delighted by the work at the Gemmell’s family Greenhouse, Joyce would indulge (forever!) in decorating with PINK FLOWERS. Her love of swimming would take her to being the town’s first lifeguard. But perhaps by spending too much time in social activities, Joyce would repeat Grade Thirteen at a finishing school, the Ontario Ladies College at Whitby. Joyce would follow the excellent example her Aunt Olive Clark had set when she had graduated Queen’s University in 1906. (Doreen and Ivy we’re also exposed to post secondary education). Joyce wanted to follow her Aunt and Mother to the teachers’ college at the University of Toronto. Joyce actually had started the teaching profession by regularly lining up her dolls and providing to them the lessons she had learned from early childhood. She wanted to teach high school, which required a degree.

Therefore Joyce earned her Bachelor of Arts degree 1953 in English and Spanish from Queen’s University. Not at her funeral, was her beloved husband William Carlyle Connerty, Queen’s Bachelor of Applied Science, 1954. “Big Bill” had passed on March 25, 1990. They had met at Queen’s, and Bill proposed on their first date in 1950. The ensuing romance would take in two of the famous Queen’s Science Formals! Joyce would graduate and with her Teaching Certificate, would accept her first teaching job at Fisher Park High School in Ottawa; Bill would manage his third generation agricultural business in Jasper, named after the founder, Wm. Connerty and Son. Joyce would board in Ottawa for a year and begin following the career of then Fisher Park student Paul Anka. Returning to Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute, SFDCI, Joyce would teach the senior students English until her marriage to Bill, on June 29, 1957. At her wedding, ladies, wearing white, with pink Swiss Dot overlay, stood up for her. They included Maiden of Honour Eilene Gardner, lifelong friend Barb Hogg (Fraser), sister-in-law Willa Clark (Wood) and Arnold and Jean (Christie’s) daughters Jane and Elizabeth Clark. The couple went on a lovely two week Honeymoon trip to the Maritimes. They spent the rest of the summer months with Bill’s Mother, Jasper business woman Mable Connerty, at the family cottage at the Upper Rideau Ferry. Bill and Joyce would occupy the two story boathouse, a tradition that includes children and grandchildren to this day. Their life long romance continued with love of water, cottage and boats and all of this was more than installed in the future generations. Joyce and Bill would start their family the following April, with the birth of Tricia. Within the next year, they would anticipate the birth of Sue, in January 1960, by building their growing family’s home on Frost St., in Smiths Falls. Beautifully decorated, their home was filled with love, pets and fun! After the fire at the Connerty family’s Jasper Purina Mill in 1961 the young family would rally around their Dad as he built a new business in Fiber Glass tanks, Industrial Moulders. Joyce would return to teaching English at SFDCI, in 1962. “Little Bill” was born in 1963, followed by Betsy in 1965, with Joyce returning to teaching each time after a maternity leave. (This was all accomplished by her very competent management of the household alongside housekeeper Lydia Cline.) Significantly, Joyce would twice overcome disability leaves for the care of mental illness, while teaching with grace and matter of fact honesty. With the death of her Mom in 1972, Joyce would manage her share of the Clark family’s business and name her company Stephen’s Reality. With two family businesses in the household, teaching and lots of kids’ activities to manage, Joyce was busy until her retirement from the Lanark County Board of Education in 1985. Joyce had opted for early retirement to be able to work alongside her husband as Industrial Moulders and Stephen’s Reality morphed into Zontec Ltd. Zontec was a cutting edge ozone company dealing with the treatment of air and water with ozone technology. Retirement also brought the marriages of their children, Bill to Lynda Condie, and Betsy to Chris Simpson, in 1989. Unfortunately Big Bill’s life did not extend to the birth of Grandchildren. But Joyce excelled in her role as “Mom Mom” to Kenzie, Keisha and Teagan Simpson and Charlie and Harry Connerty. She was always more than willing to accommodate any request of her growing family, be it babysitting or that special Christmas toy. Her own children would all pursue Professional Post Education Programs and engage in challenging careers. Not surprising, her five Grandchildren are all in the process of gaining a Professional Post Education degree. Joyce passed away as she wanted: at home, with family, and not before she was ready.

Just two days before her death she had informed her family that she was tired and ready to go to heaven. God was ready for her the morning of July 21, 2017. Joyce was waked at Blair and Son Funeral Home and interred at Wolford Cemetery in Easton’s Corners, at the family plot, alongside her husband and his family. Her Grandchildren carried the casket. Honourary Pallbearers included former students Hugh Colton and Brian Conlin, and family friends Billy Andress, Stirling Condie, Bob McCreary, and Jim Rowat. United Church Minister Christine Lowson kindly conducted a touching service, which included fond farewell speeches by Lynda Connerty, Leslie Row, Bill Connerty, Betsy Simpson and Rev. Doug Ross. A reception for family and friends followed back at Blair and Son Reception Centre. Joyce’s wish for pink flowers at her wake and charitable donations to her family’s challenges with Diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis and Arthritis, had been generously supported by the many whom had remembered her. She had passed days short of her 87th birthday and is terribly missed by her family. Mom Mom was always a LADY.

WILSON, Helen

May 11, 1926 - November 9, 2017 Unexpectedly, the evening of November 9th, after a long battle with many health issues, our dear sweet mother, grandmother, sister, sister-in-law, aunt and friend Helen Wilson passed away. She lived to a ripe old age of 91, but the fullness of her life does not lessen the emotional blow upon those of us who she has left behind - we love her dearly and miss her already. One of the few comforts that we draw at this time is that she did not pass away alone, or in a hospital, but at home with those who loved her. The day of her passing was the day before her wedding anniversary and we are confident that she is now spending her anniversary with her beloved Burt Wilson. Her living loved ones include: son Duane Wilson, daughter-in-law Millie Wilson, daughter Marjorie Wilson, son Jim Wilson, daughter-inlaw Ruthann Wilson, daughter Catherine Wilson, son-in-law Terry Swaine, son Rob Wilson, brother Hugh Baxter, sister-in-law Grace Baxter, brother Maxwell (Max) Baxter, many many grandchildren, many greatgrandchildren, great great-grandchildren and countless friends that she considered loved ones. Her loved ones that have gone before her include: the late Melvin Baxter (brother), the late Henry & Maxine Baxter (brother & sister-in-law), the late Ownie & Bubbles Baxter (brother & sister-in-law), the late Florence and Lloyd Baxter (sister & brother-in-law), the late Steve Orr (son-in-law), and the late Claudette Wilson (daughter-in-law). Helen was the daughter of Annie and Thomas Baxter of Tehkummah, Manitoulin Island, Ontario. She was an exceptional woman with a heart for her family, a dignity and grace that is rare, and the strength, wisdom, fortitude, kindness and caring of a true Matriarch. Friends may join the family during visitation at the Pilon Family Funeral Home and Chapel Ltd., 50 John Street North, Arnprior (613-623-5194) on Tuesday evening, November 14th from 6 to 7:45 p.m. A Celebration of Life Service will be conducted in the Pilon Family Chapel on Tuesday evening at 8 o’clock.

When I’m sad; lonely and everything seems to go wrong, I hear you whisper, “Cheer up and carry on!”

Missing and remembering you every day Your wife, Hilda

IN MEMORIAM

IN MEMORIAM

HANNAFORD, Richard Harold Owen November 8, 1997 Today recalls the memory Of a loved one gone to rest, And those who think of him today Are those who loved him best.

The flowers we lay upon his grave May wither and decay, But the love for him who lies beneath Will never fade away.

Always remembered Barbara Anne & Billy & Family IN MEMORIAM

IN MEMORIAM

MCPARLAND, Thomas. E In loving memory of a dear Father, Grandfather who passed away 1 year ago November 15, 2016.

This month comes back with sad regret, it brings back a day we won’t forget. You fell asleep without saying goodbye, but our memories of you will never die.

We miss you more than anyone knows, as each day passes our emptiness grows. The tears we shed will wipe away, but the ache in our hearts will always stay.

You left us quietly, your thoughts unknown, with treasured memories we’re proud to own.

Life on the farm has changed for us as you know, but we will keep the legacy of your love alive and grow.

Always loved Lyle, Carrie, Thomas, Dyllan and Owen

Gone are the days we used to share, But, in our hearts you are always there.

Students speak out as they join striking college workers

BY DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

More than a month into the Ontario college strike, Perth-based students are making their voices of frustration heard.

Students gathered at the Perth campus of Algonquin College on the morning of Wednesday, Nov. 8. The Ontario Labour Relations Board is conducting a vote of striking workers, against the wishes of OPSEU (Ontario Public Service Employees Union), on the colleges’ latest proposal. Voting runs from Tuesday, Nov. 14, to Thursday, Nov. 16. (The strike began on Monday, Oct. 16.)

“My intention is to get students out of their shell,” said Amy Ayers, during a telephone interview on Tuesday, Nov. 7, the day before the rally.

She’s a single mother of four who lives in Carleton Place, but attended personal support worker classes in Perth until mid-October.

Ayers chided some of her fellow students, who feel they can “talk more freely behind their computer. They’re all hiding.”

She organized the rally to allow students to “voice your opinions.” With the strike dragging on, however, “they are starting to come out now. We need to take our army onto the battlefield.”

Ayers stressed that “I’m not against faculty,” and that, after the student rally wrapped up, she encouraged others to join with her in walking the picket line with the OPSEU strikers on the sidewalk.

“I don’t want to make it a negative thing,” she said, even though “a lot

Ayers admitted that she is of two minds about the strike.

“I am a student who is frustrated and angry,” she said, fearing that she may lose her semester. On the other hand, as a mother, “this is for the fu-

ture of my children, the ones who are up next.”

Program problems There has been talk among her PSW classmates that, if the strike is resolved, their program may be condensed to make up for the lost time, but Ayers said that, as the PSW pro-

fession is of a medical nature, “to condense a program such as that … I don’t think it is feasible.”

A moment later, in frustration, she added that “this semester is totally flushed down the toilet.” Shortly before the strike began, she and her

Perth council signals non support for ‘potentially devastating’ Bill 148

BY Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Mayor John Fenik is concerned that Bill 148 could be “potentially devastating” to Perth, with the potential to bring about a local 10 per cent tax increase.

Perth town council’s committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 7, voted to not only endorse a request for support from nearby Montague Township in expressing concerns over the provincial bill as it makes its way through Queen’s Park, but also in unanimously passing its own nonsupport for the content of the bill, otherwise known as the Fair Workplaces, Better Jobs Act 2017.

Both motions passed unanimously, though Deputy Mayor John Gemmell and Coun. Jim Boldt were not present.

Coun. Judy Brown said that the more the provisions of the bill are rolled out, the more it appears to her that the local ramifications of the bill were not taken into account when it was drafted in Toronto.

“My feeling of this …(is) that the Ontario government fast-tracked this bill. It is proceeding through the house at warp speed,” said Fenik.

Fenik recalled that Premier Kathleen Wynne attended a meeting of eastern Ontario politicians this past summer, and that Lanark County Warden Bill Dobson asked the Liberal leader if she understood the ramifications of the bill on small, rural municipalities.

“There was no response,” Fenik recalled. “She did not answer.”

Since then, many eastern-Ontario

He said he remained optimistic, that, with a provincial election due to be called for early June, that could focus the attention of the Liberals on changing the bill before it passes.

While the bill would raise Ontario’s minimum wage and make provisions for people working in so-called “precarious employment,” there are con-

cerns among rural politicians about how volunteer firefighters would be paid, for at least three hours for each day that they are on-call.

“If this goes through … I absolutely do think this will be an election issue,” said Fenik.

Brown reminded council that, with budget deliberation day just around the corner at the end of January, “we try to apply fiscal restraint,” at town hall. However, a bill such as this, which has the potential to download

significant costs onto municipalities, could see “up to a 10 per cent tax increase,” said Brown.

Copies of the resolution will now be sent to Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston MPP Randy Hillier.

Significant details Town council also voted to direct chief administrative officer John deRosenroll “to provide financial solutions to ensure compliance with Bill 148 and our (town) budget financial sustainability goals,” wrote deRosen-

roll in his report to council. The CAO further explained that the bill “would change workers’ entitlements, union rights, and the minimum wage,” and that “there are some significant areas of concern for municipal governments in the draft legislation.”

While the minimum wage will go up from $11.40 an hour to $14 an hour on New Year’s Day 2018, and $15 an hour on New Year’s Day 2019, of particular pay concern was that “on-call provisions” would see “three hours pay per 24 hours of being on call.”

Family medical leave would also jump from eight to 27 weeks, and parental leave would rise from up to 37 weeks to up to 63 weeks.

Citing AMO (Association of Municipalities of Ontario) proposals, the town has concerns that: • “Refusal of shifts not scheduled four days in advance may impair the ability to address emergencies”; • “Calculating equal pay for casual and seasonal workers may prove difficult and result in fewer programs”; and, • “Volunteer fire departments may be disproportionately impacted, which may require council review of service levels”; The CAO also wrote of the financial considerations that town hall and council would have to look at if Bill 148 passes.

If passed in its current form, it “would have a severe financial impact to our operations and, as such, the CAO and treasurer need to determine the overall financial impact and formalize new methods of service delivery to mitigate these new legislative impacts,” deRosenroll wrote.

Perth Union Library hosts next Writer Creativity Workshop on Nov. 18 It was last winter that staff at the Perth Union Library and Patricia Josefchak, a local historic mystery author, met to discuss ideas for a writing workshop that they could offer the community.

On Saturday, Nov. 4, hosted by the Perth Union Library, Patricia conducted a Creative Tool Kit Presentation/Workshop for a handful of teens and tweens.

“They love to write and most aspire to be authors … they were truly a pleasure to be with,” Josefchak began, “and Perth’s library is a perfect venue; you’re surrounded by creativity and heritage.

“Sometimes there’s no lack of love or motivation … sometimes it’s getting past the blank page and finding inspiration. I’m not

here to teach how to write, but rather to share a method I’ve used all my life to prompt creativity … a tool, if you like, that a writer can add to their creative tool kit.”

This presentation/workshop offers such a tool, and sharing her experience is important to Josefchak. “It’s my motivation for putting the time and effort into developing and preparing this workshop. There are two parts. I start with a 45-50 minute presentation where I present the approach and encourage questions and interaction and, then the participants get a chance to try it.”

And how did it go?

She replied, “I was very pleased with the results of my efforts and

even happier that the group was eager to try and, I think, maybe even a little surprised that they liked the results of their efforts.

Some said they would continue to work on the idea they began in the workshop.”

The next date for the Creative Tool Kit Presentation/Workshop is Saturday, Nov. 18 (noon to 2 p.m.) for adult participants. The course is limited to six participants so that quality time can be spent on discussion, questions and efforts of the workshop.

And if the Nov. 18 date is full, Josefchak says she’ll be happy to schedule more with the Perth Union Library as often as there is interest. There is no charge … “it’s my way of giving back to my neighbourhood and my commu-

nity,” she said.

She and her husband live on Otter Lake and they call the Rideau Lakes ‘home.' Patricia signed and donated her latest book to the Perth Union Library, just released last week by Burnstown Publishing House (www. burnstownpublishing.com), called Touchstones, Provenance of the Stones, Book II, which is the second in the historic Rideau Lakes mystery series set in 1850s Canada. It’s available at local booksellers and directly from the publisher.

For more information or to register, please visit contact the library at 613-267-1224 or info@ perthunionlibrary.ca.

Dr. Robin Kennie of Perth has been named the 2017 recipient of the Ontario College of Family Physicians Community Teacher of the Year Award. the Perth Hospital Emergency Department.

His teaching from this broad scope of rural family medicine has been invaluable to his medical students from Queen’s University and residents from the University of Ottawa.

Students who work with Dr. Kennie are impressed with his dedication to his work, his passion for medical education, and his

positive relationships with patients. His clinic rotations are in great demand by residents, and each year doctors who were medical students or residents under his supervision apply to work in Perth. Dr. Kennie makes it a point to have open and honest discussions about the challenges of, and management strategies for, maintaining a work-life balance. Students appreciate these lessons as well as his ability to model a healthy worklife balance despite his many responsibilities.

“As a mentor and role model, Dr. Kennie continues to have a tremendous impact on the medical education of students and residents, building their confidence and competence in delivering compassionate and highquality care,” said Dr. Glenn Brown, OCFP president. “The health of patients in Perth and elsewhere is all the better for it and it is our privilege to recognize his contributions and achievements through this award.”

About the Ontario College of Family Physicians The OCFP is the voice of family medicine representing over 13,000 family physicians providing patient care across communities throughout the province.

classmates were in the process of getting ready for orientation placements at Lanark Lodge in Perth, starting in December.

There is also frustration among college students that the colleges have their tuition money and “they more or less got free money,” and that “we are stuck with the debt. I’m left to pay that.”

Her second OSAP (Ontario Student Assistance Program) payment will come in January, but already, “I’m down to my last dollars. I’m going to have a very small Christmas this year.”

She wondered if she would have to go back to work soon if a deal is not reached in order to make ends meet.

Students walk the line Ayers was joined in her protest by fellow personal support worker student Sam Lockett, who lives in Perth. Lockett said she was “looking at both perspectives,” but that the ongoing strike

“is making it a lot harder,” to remain hopeful.

She even admitted that Ayers helped talk her out of dropping the course.

Joe Cowen, a business management and entrepreneurship student, agreed with Lockett that “there is a lot of frustration with what is going on,” he said, but, “I need to support my teachers.”

He charged, that in his opinion the province’s 24 community colleges, were “top-down heavy,” with management. “Our teachers are standing out in the cold. The dean is in his nice, warm office. The students are suffering also … We need to get back into class.”

As for the college system itself, “they are making money hand over fist,” he charged. He added there is a sentiment amongst students that while they have paid their tuition on time they may lose a semester and possibly their tuition as well.

“When they say they (the colleges) don’t have enough money, they’re saying that capitalism doesn’t work,” he said.

Anytime Fitness in Perth celebrates its grand opening Nov. 18 Anytime Fitness, the world largest and fastest growing 24-hour coed fitness franchise, is pleased to announce its open for fitness in Perth.

A grand opening celebration will take place on Saturday, Nov. 18 from 1 to 4 p.m. with the official ribboncutting ceremony at 2 p.m. at the new 58 Wilson St. location (in front of the Metro).

“For many people, joining a gym can be an intimidating experience,” said Julie Holmes, Anytime Fitness club owner. “Our gym is big enough to feature everything you need for a great workout and small enough to provide personalized attention for all of our members. Whether weight-loss is your goal, or increased strength or improved balanced and flexibility — or a combination of some of those things — at Anytime Fitness, we’re able to help you achieve whatever results you seek.”

To celebrate its grand opening, Anytime Fitness is hosting fun-filled event with snacks, prizes, and club tours. New members can save up to $50 off enrolment with a donation made to Build a Mountain of Food, the annual food drive which has added

Perth Anytime Fitness to its drop-off locations.

Nationwide, the average Anytime Fitness club has about 800 members.

The gyms are staffed roughly nine hours a day, but members can access the club whenever they like — even during unstaffed hours — using a computerized key-fob system.

“We make it easy for our members to exercise whenever and however they like,” said Holmes. “We have personal trainers available to help you learn how to use all of the equipment and to develop an individualized workout plan, if you like. We also offer classes and small group personal training.”

Holmes notes that membership at one Anytime Fitness club gives members access to more than 3,500 clubs worldwide at no extra charge. “It's great for people who travel for a week or two at a time and want to continue working out, because this way, they can use their Anytime membership to access a club pretty much anywhere.”

Another bonus is the fact that the layout of every Anytime Fitness club is designed for quick and effective exercise. At the new Perth club, members have full use of top-quality equip-

The dreaded blue tarp

With November comes the dreaded blue tarp. I loathe the blue tarp.

It’s what I use to cover my patio table and chairs when I put them away for the winter. I try to make a silver lining out of the whole thing and remember that when I gaze out my kitchen window in the winter, I will see the cheerful blue peeking from beneath the snow.

But who are we kidding. That doesn’t work.

My backyard is very small. Several years ago, I had the brainwave to devote the corner bordered by the shed and my father-in-law’s workshop to a patio space. My dad and I built it, I populated it with a table, chairs, toy chest, barbecue and planters, and I have lived there ever since.

Except in winter.

The patio is, by far, my favourite room. (Pssst … it’s not really a “room,” but it’s a great space.) It’s outside. We eat there, play there and I have spent many hours working in the “patio office.” Dozens of columns have been written from that space.

One of my favourite things about the patio is that there is a different threshold of “tidy” outside. When things feel a little too cluttered and claustrophobic inside, I can take my tea/book/computer/whatever outside where dirt is fine. Certainly, the patio is not a magnet for every scrap of paper the same way the kitchen table is.

I love my patio. Did you notice?

The first weekend of November, I was still optimistic I would get a little more patio time than usual, so the tarp stayed in the shed. One afternoon during that week, I even managed to work out there … until my fingers went numb anyway.

This past Sunday, the sun was shining and the temperature was above zero. I had (sadly) planned to haul out the tarp that day, but caught myself wondering if maybe I could get away with one more week.

Then I looked at the forecast.

Clouds. Drizzle. Flurries. Low temps.

Yuck.

The only thing worse than your hands going numb while working on the patio is experiencing frostbite while putting it away for the winter.

I got to work, and I quickly discovered the whole episode was destined to put me in a bad mood (Oh no!

What about the Bubble of Positivity?)

The first hurdle was discovering several things that had to be put

away were already frozen to the patio stones. Then I discovered, because I am new to the planet, that kicking at a heavy planter to dislodge will hurt one’s sore foot. (Oh, hey! I have a sore foot! I was getting bored with just having knee problems.)

Ahem.

And then there was the shed. I may have experienced “shed rage” today.

Yes, that is a thing.

See, each spring and fall, I pull everything out of our little shed, sweep up the crud and then reorganize it. In spring, winter stuff goes to the back.

In fall, vice versa. Trouble is, I think I am the only one who recognizes and embraces my awesome shed organizational skills because, without fail, mere milliseconds after finishing this reasonably largish task, someone comes along and tosses something willy nilly into the interior.

Grrrr.

So, this spring I said “Fuhgeddaboudit” and opted to let it go. Actually, I said something else entirely, but I can’t say it here because this is a Family Newspaper.

All summer I gritted my teeth each time I opened the shed door and surveyed the increasing disarray. And, ultimately, I was the one who paid for the decision to “fuhgeddaboudit” when it was time to put things away this weekend. Let’s just say there was a bit of an incident involving fishing rods and snow shovels, and there may have been more bad language. Also, I had to climb over a bunch of stuff to get to the dreaded blue tarp that I didn’t want to retrieve in the first place. (Note to self: Sort the shed in the spring.)

I managed to shoehorn a couple of folding chairs just inside the shed door so I can bring them out for emergency patio use over the winter.

Fortunately, the day was saved by a cup of tea, a blanket, a heating pad and some nice homemade soup. (Bubble of Positivity!) Clearly leaving the blue tarp another week would have resulted in hypothermia.

See you in the spring, patio…

Couch surfing while hubby’s on the mend

N

ot even two months married and already I’m sleeping on the couch.

OK, so it’s not as bad as all that sounds. It really is wedded bliss. (Insert smiley face.)

Sweet Baby had back surgery last week, and after just two nights in the Perth hospital, he was home.

It’s been a whirlwind to say the least. Mom had a knee replacement recently, and between her and Sweet Baby, I’m about ready for another vacation … or the loony bin. Or a vacation at the loony bin?

Mom’s not doing so great with her knee. I spent a week with her when she was released from the hospital and she was not a very good patient.

So I shipped her off to my brother and RN sister-in-law’s place for a week, where apparently she was a lot better patient. She was home just last week, and on her own as I was back to work, but she’s still in a lot of pain and refuses to get hooked on opioids.

LAURIE WEIR Weir View Can’t blame her there, but she might have to go visit Tweed for something to relieve the pain. It’s been a month since the knee replacement, but she says she’s not doing her other one. It’s got to be bad for her to say that!

Then Sweet Baby’s wonky back has been giving him grief for some 30 years since a bad car accident left him with some painful issues. Stubborn as a Newfie mule, his sister says, he has been working through it and dealing with his pain the best way he can.

He’s had sciatic issues for as long I’ve known him and I’ve seen him sleep in bed, on the couch, on the coffee table, sprawled half on and half off the couch and coffee table ... at the same

time.

So imagine his relief when after several trips to his doctor and opioid prescriptions later, he finally got in to see Dr. Anderson in Perth. He put Sweet Baby at ease with his gentle demeanor and kindness, and answered all my incessant questions.

Within six months, Sweet Baby was ready for a discectomy Nov. 9. I wasn’t though. He wasn’t one bit nervous – I was two bits nervous. I couldn’t be a surgeon. Nerves of steel these people have.

It was a good thing I had a hundred things to do to keep my mind off him and the surgery. I headed home to write a story about the cancer fundraiser held at the mall in Smiths Falls

by Christine Bles, and then I managed to tag Pat Wiseman, the GM at the mall and wrote another story about the change of the mall’s name to the new Settlers Ridge Centre.

Letter to the Editor

Still a lot of work to be done about truth and reconciliation DEAR EDITOR,

Desmond Devoy’s piece on Indigenous rights and James Bartleman was a fantastic read, and also a critical reminder of how much work is yet to be done if we are to achieve truth and reconciliation regarding historic and ongoing injustices committed against the original peoples of this land.

Bartleman’s references to the “cultural genocide” at the heart of residential schools is a timely one as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visits Labrador on Nov. 24 to deliver an apology to residential school survivors there. Yet my friends in that area tell me there are mixed feelings about

column From page P8

That afternoon, I headed back to Perth and covered the LCIAA senior girls’ basketball finals at PDCI, who captured a championship over the RedHawks of SFDCI. I timed it perfectly, as I went back to the hospital and was relieved to be told that Sweet Baby had just been wheeled into recovery. I could finally breathe. I saw him briefly as Dr. Anderson said he had come through with no complications as he was strong and healthy and he’d be up and at it in no time. The good doctor then ushered me out of recovery, so Sweet Baby could wake up a bit more.

I only spent a couple hours with him Thursday night before making my way back home – but not before hitting the Joyce Brennan Award presentation at the Heritage House Museum in Smiths Falls. Then I had to make a quick trip to Walmart to get hubby some comfy clothing.

Friday, I was back at the hospital, and there he was, sitting up, bright eyed and bushy-tailed. He looked wonderful. We had a nice long visit, but I knew he was tired and needed his rest. So I booked it to Industry Fitness for another session with PT Amber who put me through my paces with an exploding leg day.

I was all set to head back to Perth for a visit Friday night, take in the Blue Wings and hit the Smiths Falls Bears on the way home, but my tank was running on Empty. I crashed on the bed after putting the laundry away when Sweet Baby called. He was ready to go home Saturday.

Sweet Baby’s discharge went off without a hitch. He’d been up walking Friday morning and had limited pain – at least the pain he had before surgery is no longer present, and he’s smiling a lot bigger now. He can even feel his feet again.

Now that he is home and settled, he’s getting along quite well up on his high throne and rocking his fourwheeler thanks to the Perth Civitan

this visit. On the one hand, the apology is an important moment that acknowledges wrongdoing. Yet at the same time, the federal government is backing a megaproject at Muskrat Falls whose legacy may well lead to an act of cultural genocide for the area’s Inuit and Innu people.

Because of the dam, it is expected that methylmercury levels will rise and poison the waters and food (seal, fish, waterfowl, etc.) that are tied so intimately to Indigenous culture. In the same way residential schools sought to eliminate traditional cultures, so the Muskrat Falls dam threatens the same result.

Remembering our fallen soldiers and those on active duty In this issue of The Perth Courier there will likely be the photos and perhaps a description of the cenotaph services in Perth and elsewhere in the county.

Many of our local churches have included acts of remembrance, prayers for peace and special recognition of veterans in our Sunday services over the last two weeks, and our children may have been fortunate enough to include the personal stories of a wartime veteran in their school assemblies. But, like so many publicly affirmed seasons I hope our remembrance is not behind us or swiftly replaced by the next commercial or civic focus.

With the exception of our newest citizens – fleeing violence and the imminent threat of violence – or those who currently live under the threat of domestic violence, most us have never directly faced the prospect of a weapon aimed at us in anger. So we continually depend on the witness of those who were willing to risk their lives on our behalf to truly appreciate the horror and cost of war and military conflict. We owe them our thanks and respect. Our remaining World War and Korean War veterans are aging and dying and it is our responsibility to ask for and listen to their stories to appreciate the Remembrance Plea of “never again”, and then to live it out. In my experience of the remarkable men and women who served at home or abroad I have always found a humble and sincere reticence to glorify war. They are the grounded and real reporters of what service and loss, comradery and fear are really like. So we honour them and owe it to them to keep listening and remembering, before their voices are silent.

We also have other witnesses and teachers who deserve our respect and attentive listening.

While we need to respect the privacy of refugees who fled the horrors of war and the multiple

Religion Today KENNETH O. DAVIS

threats of leaders, factions and foreign armies, given time and sensitivity our newest citizen will help us so that Understanding and remembering replace ignorance and misinformation about what others in the world face every day.

Remembering doesn’t end with historic conflicts or modern day violence and dis-ease elsewhere in the world. Because women and men continue to put on the uniforms of the Canadian Forces or the RCMP, OPP and other police services – many of who bear the visible and often invisible wounds of service and sacrifice on our behalf.

These are our new veterans.

“Re-membering” them means listening to their stories and seeking the healing of their bodies minds and spirits and the trauma that is the modern day equivalent of war time damage.

It is less time honoured than Nov. 11 but it is also the duty of citizens and leaders of our province and country. Remembering these and many others I have not mentioned here never gets old.

In the Christian Church, on account of our Faith and our Lord’s teaching and example we are learning to recognize and remember the cost of Sacrifice and the preciousness of life. We are called to work and pray for Peace and Healing for all people, to honour those entrusted with the responsibility of Public Service and Leadership; and to stand with all who help us to keep remembering.

Holiday Design Show at horticultural society Please join us on Tuesday, Nov. 21, to watch Krista Mackler create festive designs for this holiday season. Krista runs Kelly’s Flowers here in Perth and has been creating there for almost 20 years. A silent auction of her creations will follow — you may be fortunate and go home with one of Krista’s designs!

This meeting is also our AGM and annual pot luck supper which will be held Tuesday, Nov. 21, at St. Paul's United Church, 25 Gore St. W., Perth, beginning earlier than usual at 6 p.m. Please use the D’Arcy Street entrance.

Bring your favourite savoury or sweet dish to share and join us for dinner. PDHS will supply the turkey. Also, for anyone who wishes to be creative, please bring a centrepiece for the tables (these will be given out as door prizes during the evening).

A message to our valued Perth Courier readers, Since its start in 1834, the Perth Courier has served as a key source of information for residents of the town and the surrounding area. Covering local politics, community news, sports and entertainment, your weekly paper has kept you in touch with the town, and local advertisers in touch with you.

The business model we followed for so many decades shifted several years ago when the Courier moved from subscription-based to free distribution. In taking this step, the paper has been able to extend its reach to a broader audience, now delivered to more than 12,000 doors each week. Doing this, however, meant we had to rely even more heavily on our loyal advertisers. As we’ve learned in recent years, ever-increasing costs have made this model more of a challenge.

With that in mind, we aim to keep the rich tradition of the Perth Courier going for many years to come. That’s why we are introducing a pledge program that allows you to directly support our high quality, hyper-local content by making a small annual contribution. We welcome any contribution within your budget, but if you pledge $30 or more, you will be entered in a draw for a $100 gift card every three months. And with your first pledge, you’ll receive a decal for your fridge or mailbox showing that you are a proud supporter of your local community newspaper.

It should be noted this program is entirely voluntary and we will continue to deliver the Courier each week whether or not you choose to participate. We hope that in pledging your support you can gain a sense of ownership in a community newspaper whose deep roots date back 183 years.

Please make your cheque out to Metroland Media, noting ‘Perth Courier Pledge Program’, and send your contribution to 65 Lorne Street, Smiths Falls, Ontario, K7A 3K8. If you would prefer to pledge by credit card, please call 613-283-5650.

Keep your local news coverage relevant, thorough and available to all residents. Show your support today by making a pledge.

The Perth and District Collegiate Institute Blue Devils senior girls basketball team was not ConstruCtion expected to finish high in the LCIAA standings this year, much less take the championship from a tough competitor.

R.R.#1 Maberly, K0H 2B0 Fax: 613-268-2466 Co-captains Korry Brankin and Brianna Fournier said they hoped to win the championship at home today, but didn’t expect to do that.

DENTISTS “Smiths Falls has always been a powerhouse,” Brankin said, who is in Grade 12X. “Seeing some of those girls come back, it kind of got me in the heart, but we were right there.”

Losing to Almonte in the semi-finals last year made the girls a bit more eager to put this one away at home.

“We’re like sisters … like a family,” Fournier agreed.

“It sure feels good being the underdog and winning this thing today,” Brankin said.

For Coach Bellamy, he had some high praise for this team of young women, whose mindset was as on point as the trey-tossers.

“We finished third on the year,” he said. “We beat Notre Dame in the semis and they’re unbelievable. And we beat Smiths Falls in the finals, and they’re unbelievable.”

When asked what made this so special, Bellamy shook his head.

“Every game was different but that game … we have a saying that shooting makes up for a lot of sins and we spent a lot of time working on our shot. They hit some big shots and that was the difference. Smiths Falls was coming back, and they’re tough and they’re good and our post player, big shooter, Nicole Fielding, was awesome today and she got fouled out. Even she hit a couple threes.”

Brankin is the team leader, Bellamy said, and Fournier, “who is the heart and soul of our team” also had great games. “Brianna is an incredible basketball player but an even more incredible person. Oh my goodness. She is so committed to doing the right thing all the time, it’s unbelievable.”

The last four years, PDCI has either won county or Eastern Ontario Secondary Schools Athletic Association (EOSSAA) titles.

The Perth and District Collegiate Institute Blue Devils senior girls basketball team was not expected to finish high in the LCIAA standings this year, much less take the championship from a tough competitor.

“But this is a big step up – senior girls. We went through a lot of tough times this year in a whole bunch of ways. Injuries. Conflicts with other sports. We basically crammed for the final exams for the last three weeks. We’ve been practicing almost three hours leading up to every important game. And we’ve practiced at 6:30 in the morning – whenever we can. It’s been busy.”

Bellamy was at a loss for words when describing this year’s team of senior girls basketball players.

“I don’t know how to describe them,” he said.

“They’re very talented physically and mentally.

It’s weird because the basketball part is the least they’re good at, and the best is their mental toughness, their tenacity and their competitiveness. But today, the basketball part was more important in the end. It’s good that we’re versatile because whatever is not working something else is. It’s timing. You want to peak at the right time and it’s been a really rough ride to get here.”

The coach said in some ways “we were battletested because nothing was easy for us all year.”

The girls will now represent the county at EOSSAA to be held in Arnprior next week, Nov. 16 and 17.

Perth's Amy Millar claims first Canadian show jumping championship Canadian Olympian Amy Millar of Perth claimed her first Canadian Show Jumping Championship title on Saturday night, Nov. 4, at the Royal Horse Show, held as part of the 95th Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto.

Sitting third following Friday's opening round of competition with 1.25 penalties, Millar returned for a two-round final in front of a full house in the Ricoh Coliseum on Saturday evening. Piloting her 2016 Rio Olympic Games mount, Heros, Millar jumped fault-free over the tracks set by Brazilian course designer Guilherme Jorge to move to the top of the leaderboard and win her first national championship title.

"There are very few things that I get as excited about as the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair," said Millar, 40, whose father, Ian Millar, has won a record 12 Canadian Show Jumping

Championship titles in his illustrious career.

"It has been such a big part of my life for so long that I have wanted this for probably the whole time I have been alive! It is so important to me and to Canada; the stands are filled with Canadians who love the sport, and it has always been so prestigious to win."

Francois Lamontagne, 33, of St. Eustache, Que, jumped up from fifth in Friday's standings to a second place finish behind Millar with a total score of 3.73 riding Chanel du Calvaire. Ali Ramsay, 25, of Victoria, BC, piloted Hermelien VD Hooghoeve into third with a final score of 4.24 while Nicole Walker of Aurora, ON, celebrated her 24th birthday with two clear rounds aboard Falco van Spieveld to finish fourth overall with 5.34 penalties.

Isabelle Lapierre, 38, of Levis, Que., was close behind with 5.86 penalties

for fifth riding Cescha M. Laura Jane Tidball, 39, of Langley, BC, rounded out the top six riding Concetto Son for owner Thunderbird Show Park with 9.06 total penalties. Ten-time Canadian Olympian Ian Millar was poised to defend his Canadian Championship title, but three rails down on Saturday night moved his daughter into the spotlight.

"I've done this class many times and, by far, this was the biggest and most difficult Canadian Championships that has ever been built," said Millar of Jorge's tracks. "I think that is a reflection of how strong our Canadian riders are. It's the first time that our starting field has been this strong, and that's pretty exciting for Canadian show jumping."

Of her performance in the 2017 Canadian Show Jumping Championship, Millar noted, "I just had to keep telling myself to ride well, jump clean,

and stay focused. Every time winning entered my mind, I pushed it away and thought, 'just concentrate on what you know; ride well and jump clean rounds'. And obviously it worked!"

Millar's winning mount, Heros, is a 10-year-old Belgian Warmblood gelding (Canadian River x Clinton I).

"Heros is owned by a group, AMMO Investments," explained Millar. "It's Ann Matthews and her daughter, Karen Sparks, and Patty Overlund and Patrick O'Brien, who are mother and son, and my family.

It's a group of people that I've known a long time and really love; they are all good friends of mine, and I can't thank them enough for their support."

Based on their performances in the Canadian Show Jumping Championship, Millar and runner-up Lamontagne will move forward to the Royal Horse Show's international division, beginning Tuesday, November 7.

PDCI earns senior boys volleyball cup It came down to the wire for the PDCI senior boys volleyball team in Carleton Place last week as they earned the LCIAA title.

Coach Greg Anderson, who has piloted this team for the junior ranks, said the boys had a great tournament and showed their skillset.

CPHS played Notre Dame in their semi final match and won 25-15, 2516 in a best-of-three, while Perth outlasted St. John Catholic High School in their semi-final match: 25-16, 2516, which set the stage for the CPHS/ PDCI finals.

CPHS and PDCI immediately played the championship match on full court, Anderson noted.

“PDCI won the first set 25-11. CP won the second set 25-17.”

The Blue Devils stormed back to win the deciding set, 15-13 to take the Lanark County cup.

“We ended in second this season, just one behind CPHS,” Anderson said.

The senior boys are now off to St. Mary’s for the AA championship at the Eastern Ontario Secondary Schools Athletic Associations (EOSSAA) tournament. The junior boys team from PDCI will head to Sydenham for their EOSSAA tournament, also on Thursday.

St. John also advances this year, representing Lanark County at the A level, which will take place at Rideau District High School in Elgin, Thursday, Nov. 16.

Good luck to the Lanark County representatives.

Perth Blue Wings grab three points in tough weekend series in CCHL2

BY LAURIE WEIR

ljweir@metroland.com

The Perth Blue Wings had three tough games over the weekend in CCHL Tier 2 action, and managed to salvage three points with a win and an overtime loss.

Friday, Embrun Panthers claimed at 4-3 win over Perth at home. Saturday and Sunday it was a home-and-home series with the Carleton Place Jr. Canadians where the teams traded wins in their own barns.

The Blue Wings are just two points out of fourth place now in the Richardson Division conference with nine wins and 11 losses for 20 points on the season. Arnprior has 21 points, and the Whitewater Kings, 22. Leading the conference with 31 points each are the Canadians and the Westport Rideaus. Athens slides in there with 27 points for a solid hold of third place.

Perth 5 Carleton Place 4 The Blue Wings came from behind at home Sunday, Nov. 12 to post a 5-4 win over the Canadians in front of 201 fans.

Friday to Sunday november 17 - 19, 2017

Carleton Place drew first blood as Ryland Moseley got past Blue Wings netminder Cameron Scott just 48 seconds into the game.

But Perth shot back to take a 2-1 lead at the end of the period with goals from Suraj Bali and Shane Carroll. Assists were credited to Anthony Douchant, Danny Carroll and Tyler Murphy.

Into the second, Carleton Place scored twice to regain the lead as Trent Harris tied it up at 5:44, then Carter Homes gave the visitors the edge at 6:42 of the period.

Perth's Jordan Currie tied it up once again with his shot at 12:54 assisted by Shane Carroll, but with less than four minutes remaining in the period, Carleton Place went ahead 4-3 with Aiden Parnell’s goal at 16:39.

Perth took advantage of the power play at 3:52 of the third period as Jordan Currie scored from Mack Miller and Nathan MacKechnie to knot the score at four apiece.

It was Bali with the game winner at 5:59, assisted by Eric Gough and Nicholas Vala and the Blue Wings picked up their win of the weekend, 5-4.

Carleton Place 3 Perth 2 In Carleton Place on Saturday night, it was a different outcome for the Blue Wings, as the Canadians posted a 3-2 win in front of 118 fans.

The Canadians held a 2-1 lead after the first period with goals from Reece Bolton and Spencer Marshall.

The Blue Wings got one back on the power play with Dylan Sharpley’s shot from MacKechnie and Currie.

Into the second, Perth tied the rally with Matt

Knight-Bedour’s goal at 9:07, assisted by Murphy and Nicholas Vala.

But into the third frame, it was the Canadians who scored the winner as Mosley had the unassisted game-changer at 14:50 for the 3-2 outcome.

Vincent Bujold-Roux had the win in nets with 11 saves, while Tom Meyerhans had some hard work in the loss, turning away 36 of 39 shots.
